Chang’an Small Restaurant

      Thinking of the emperor's prayer for rain more than half a month ago, there was a smirk on the corner of his mouth. God is lucky to have given his human son this face, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

    Shen Shaoguang wrapped in a quilt again, and closed her eyes safely.

    Small vendors can be lazy because of the rain, but they can't.

    Lin Yan was sitting in the car and saw Liu Feng, a recording reporter not far ahead, holding an umbrella, wearing mango shoes, and waiting in the rain. I thought it was slippery, I didn't dare to ride a horse, I wanted to walk to the office.

    Lin Yan gestured to the servants outside the car, and one of them got off the horse and went to find Liu Feng.

    Liu Feng turned his head and bowed to Lin Yan's car from a distance, then said a few words to the servant and walked over together.

    Getting into the officer's car, Liu Feng was a little bit cramped, and his stomach came to make trouble at this time, and he growled. Liu Feng's face became hot in an instant, and he only hoped that the sound of the rain outside could cover it up.

    Lin Yan glanced at him.

    Liu Feng was stunned, crossed his hands and said, "I'm rude.

    "It doesn't matter." Lin Yan smiled lightly, and paused for a moment, "Are the pancakes really that delicious?" There was clearly a man selling Hu pancakes over there.

    Liu Feng's face turned redder and he said, "Xiaguan, Xiaguan—"

    Lin Yan raised his hand slightly.

    Liu Feng closed his mouth and sat honestly.

    Lin Yan closed his eyes and rested.

    Shen Shaoguang did what he said, and really waited until Chen Zheng got up, took a slow shower, and went out to the restaurant with an umbrella to eat a bowl of chicken wontons, the skin was not thin enough, and the filling was too small, The soup base still has some flavor.

    I strolled around, bought some rice, grain and vegetables, and then walked back slowly. Walking to the back door of Shen's old house, I saw a begonia sticking out from the courtyard wall, and many petals fell. Tsk tsk, the rain hits the begonia, and the door is silently closed, what a poetic scene.

    Shen Shaoguang searched his memory and was really impressed by this begonia. The original mother loves to collect crabapple petals, not for burying it, but for rouge use. She once said that its "color is unparalleled", just father came over and joked with a smile, "Unfortunately there is no fragrance", the mother was angry at first Seeing, and then couldn't help laughing.

    Thinking back to the days of Ye Ting, this lady is such a rich flower in the world as a begonia, how could she endure such sparring? The nine-year-old original owner, the original owner also endured another year, and finally went with her mother and replaced herself as a stranger.

    Shen Shaoguang looked at this "home" that he had never lived in, and thought about the old things at home, and was quite emotional.

    I heard that there is a Jingzhao Shaoyin, a high-ranking official in red robes. Although the neighbors have lived for so many days, they have never seen what it looks like. I don't know when the vice mayor of Chang'an inspected the street food situation... Shen Shaoguang was amused by his sense of humor, holding an umbrella, he walked back to the nunnery.

    Back in the nunnery, Shen Shaoguang soaked glutinous rice, read two pages of book, wrote a few words, and also passed the first afternoon.

    Simply grab some noodles at noon, put some green vegetables, smash a poached egg, and make a bowl of green vegetable hoto. After putting it in the bowl, add two spoons of homemade garlic chili sauce smell.

    After dinner, after a lazy afternoon, I got up and fiddled with food.

    Because I bought some good glutinous rice today, I decided to make Ai Wo Wo Cake.

    The imperial palace of this dynasty also often made cakes, such as crystal dragon and phoenix cake, purple dragon cake, jade beam cake, cornel cake, chrysanthemum cake, Ma Ge cake, etc. The name is very fancy, but it doesn't quite match Shen Shaoguang's appetite - probably because Tang people are a bit heavy on sweetness, think about it, you need to pour sugarcane pulp to eat cherries. Therefore, at the turn of spring and summer, Shen Shaoguang especially misses Aiwowo in his previous life.

    Aiwowo is not a hassle to make. Knead the boiled soft glutinous rice into glutinous rice dough, divide into small doses, press into skins, and fill with various fillings, such as hawthorn, sesame, jujube puree, and bean paste.

    After wrapping, put it on the cooked glutinous rice flour and roll it. It is said that it is also rolled on cooked flour, but cooked glutinous rice flour has always been used at home, and Shen Shaoguang also feels that glutinous rice flour is authentic.

    What Shen Shaoguang made today was not the one she had eaten in the past, the difference was not in the glutinous rice flour, but in the stuffing, she used the peony flower marinated seeds she made a few days ago.

    There is a large peony tree in the nunnery, with hundreds of flowers in full bloom, gorgeous crimson, very prosperous. Shen Shaoguang picked up a lot of peony petals. He wanted to make two flower bags in a fashionable way. He suddenly remembered the famous rose halide in the Red House, so he changed his mind again, smashed the flowers in a mortar, pickled them with sugar and honey, and passed them. After a few days, I went to Shenghuaqi, and the taste turned out to be very good.

    I was too lazy to make other stuffing, just used it.

    The Aiwowo of this peony braised child is very attractive. The snow-white skin and the bright red stuffing remind people of fragrant words such as pink noodles and sandalwood mouth.

    Shen Shaoguang put the Aiwowo in a white porcelain plate and shared it with the food lover host Master Tai.

    "What a delicate thing!" The host laughed before eating.

    When she took a bite, she was even more surprised, "Is this a peony flower?"

    Shen Shaoguang said with a smile, "Isn't that the peony in the courtyard? I'm a serious borrowing flower to offer to Buddha."

    The host smiled and dipped Shen Shaoguang with his hands. The two often chat, and now it's a little bit of a forgetful friendship.

    "We have eaten peony petals before, but they were fried. It's not as sweet as yours, and the color is good."

    Shen Shaoguang did not hide his secrets, he explained the method of making peony braised seeds, and the two discussed how to improve it again.

    After drinking tea and eating food, the plate of Aiwowo went down. Shen Shaoguang ate two, Jingqing ate two, and the remaining four belonged to the host.

    This is so, the host is still unfinished.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "It's just in this season that this candied peony stuffing is available. Usually, bean stuffing and jujube paste are good."

    The host suddenly remembered, "It will be the beginning of summer in a few days. Compared with this flower cake, the bean cake we steamed in the nunnery in the past was too rough. Why don't we replace it with this this year?" At this time, there is a custom, eating steamed cakes in summer, it is said that you can not get hot prickly heat.

    Jing Qing hurriedly responded. Shen Shaoguang felt that it would be nice for a nun to be the old host.

      If you don't do it well, you will make people laugh." Jingqing Qiqing gave a gift, "I also ask the donor to give pointers."

    Since I live here, of course I have to help with this little task, Shen Shaoguang agreed.

    Because of limited manpower and large quantity, Shen Shaoguang suggested making bean paste stuffing-because whether it is steaming, pounding, or straining, a large amount and a small amount all cost the same thing.

    The bean paste stuffing is still a precious thing at this moment. It is not because the material is expensive, but it is troublesome enough. It is said that the bean paste was the best made in the Lady's Mansion of Guoguo in Tianbao, called "Lingsha", and the bean paste was placed in the glutinous rice cake. Because the cake was translucent when beaten, the color of the stuffing could be revealed. It is called through flower glutinous rice cake. ①

    The host watched Shen Shaoguang directing the nun to fry bean paste, and told her an allusion: "In the early years, there was a cake workshop in Chang'an East City, and the touhua glutinous rice was very particular. Because When the cakes are done well, the master is hired as a foreign official, known as the flower cake memberwai.” ②

    Shen Shaoguang laughed and went out of his way to be the champion. It's a pity, but unfortunately I'm a woman, otherwise I can consider taking this path to work.

    Jing Ci stood on the edge, listening to Shen Shaoguang chatting with the host, she couldn't help but be surprised, how could the host be so talkative and happy? Could it be that this little lady surnamed Shen presided over a witchcraft? Looking at these bean paste fillings, I can't help but calculate the money, how much I spend, and how much money I can get from each family.

    The author has something to say:  What Lin Shaoyin said today will be beaten in the face in the future. poor baby...

    Lin Shaoyin smiled lightly: No pain.
