Chang’an Small Restaurant

    It has been hot for several days, and finally it rained, lightning and thunder, and the rain was as heavy as gluten.

    Shen Shaoguang moved the Hu bed and sat in front of the door, watching the rain while choosing dishes.

    "The rain is as heavy as gluten" is not Shen Shaoguang's original creation, it was said in Yishu's novel in a previous life. She also said, "The melancholy old joy is like a dream, when the rain pours, when the sea rolls on the beach."

    Shen Shaoguang has no old joys like a dream. Of course, when we were young, we also looked at each other pleasingly to the eye, a tall, thin boy, two people sitting in the front and back, in the days when they were struggling together, they often listened to the old songs of the Backstreet Boys with half of their headphones. With "Aslongasyouloveme" ringing in my ears, they looked at each other and smiled.

      Later, the brother went to Florida, where the Backstreet Boys debuted, and read his Ph.D. in UF, and decided to stay in Florida to enjoy the sun and the coast.

      Bicycles, carrying notebooks and rushing to the dormitory, study room, library, cafeteria and part-time part-time off-campus. in love? nonexistent.

    There is nothing to say about the relationship between men and women after work Two by two. Those faint and lingering emotions can only be explored in the babbling tunes.

    "It turned out that the purple and red bloomed all over the place, and it seemed like this was paid to the broken well and the ruins..."①

    Lin Shaoyin, it would be great if we met in a previous life...

    A Yuan asked with a smile: "The little lady sings really well, what is it?"

    One of those lullaby before bedtime? Shen Shaoguang sighed softly and said with a smile, "Let's eat winter melon and duck soup today?"

    A Yuan's eyes widened, she reacted, clapped her hands and smiled, "That's good! That's good!" After eating the corn porridge and small greens for the past few days, Ayuan felt like a small green. .

    No customers came, Yu San was sharpening the machetes, kitchen knives, meat knives, and fruit knives one by one.

    "Tsk tsk," Shen Shaoguang nodded, "Don't say it, Saburo, your posture is quite knight-errant."

    Yu San ignored her, then "chachacha..."

    Shen Shaoguang waited for him to finish grinding this one, and then he said his plan to stew duck soup and begged him to kill the ducks. Duck.

    This duck was not raised by herself, but was delivered by the butcher yesterday and was not eaten. Ducks who have lived for a day are enjoying the good water from the sky. Who would have thought that they would suffer such a disaster.

    After a while, Yu San came back, and Shen Shaoguang hurried to take the basin in his hand and found that he had washed it with well water. Yu San Princess, Aojiao is Aojiao, and thoughtful and careful is really thoughtful and attentive. I really don't know what his original owner thought.

    Shen Shaoguang took the basin back to the kitchen, first removed the duck skin, so as not to be greasy, then took the oil pan, sautéed the **** slices and scallions, and then added the duck meat to stir-fry, put a little Season with salt and sugar, cook some rice wine a little bit, then pour water in, add enough water at one time, remember to skim off the foam in the middle, and let it boil slowly.

      Grilled and eaten.

    Heavy rain is difficult to last, the ducks are in the pot, and the rain subsides. It has been under the ground for more than an hour. When it is time to put the winter melon in the soup, the rain stops - Shen Shaoguang looked at the sky, It's almost noon, and the rain stopped at this time. Are there any guests coming?

    There are natural ones, such as Lin Shaoyin who came from "travelling mountains and rivers".

    Although it was a day off, it was rare to see him come for dinner. Shen Shaoguang was a little surprised.

    Lin Yan took off her oil boots at the door, changed the clogs in the store, and smiled: "Today, my grandmother is having lunch with Master Yuanjue from Guangming Temple."

    Shen Shaoguang nodded, very good, two old ladies who love to eat and know how to eat will definitely be able to eat a lot. - No, I didn't ask what I said just now. Shen Shaoguang decided to strengthen his expression management, especially his eyes.

    Passing by Shen Shaoguang's side, Lin Yan stopped and asked with a smile, "What did you do today, so fragrant?" The tone was casual and homely - it was like Lang Jun who came back from outside asking his wife Same.

    Shen Shaoguang looked up, he was already tall, wearing clogs, he was even taller, and he was close, Shen Shaoguang could only "look up" and meet those smiling eyes, Shen Shaoguang He avoided it again, um, he was wearing a Hu suit today, and there was a small red mole on his exposed collarbone...

    Shen Shaoguang cleared his throat, "Boiled old duck and winter melon soup."

    "Very good, suitable for summer drink, give me a little pepper." Lin Yan smiled, then walked to his usual seat and sat down.

    Shen Shaoguang looked at his back, are all of you Confucians so invisible? That's what we drink at home!

    Having said that, this bowl of old duck and winter melon soup is for him, along with some small sesame cakes and light side dishes.

    When Lin Yan was waiting for the soup dishes, two people came in, one was Li Xianggong, and the other was about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and a square jaw, and a straight face.

    Lin Yan stood up and saluted, "Li Xianggong."

    Li Yue showed some surprise and said with a smile, "It's An Ran." Just now, she was driving around Lin's house in a car, and before her emotions were dissipated, she met the current owner of the house. .

    Shen Shaoguang heard the movement outside, came out of the kitchen, the two guests turned their heads, and all of a sudden old memories came up, this is Chu Jiu, the uncle of the Chu family.

    Shen Shaoguang was stunned.

    Li Yue smiled at her, while Chu Di frowned thoughtfully.

    Li Yue introduced Chu and Lin.

    Chu Di, a contemporary great scholar, set up a forum to give lectures in Guangping Academy, and was quite respectable among scholars. Lin Yan saluted him as a late student, and was called "Mr. Chu".

    There are many students of this age around Chu Di, but there is no such thing as Lin Shaoyin who already wears a red robe. For this young man who lived in the old friend's old house, Chu Di's perception was quite complicated, and he was picky. : "Someone from the countryside, Lin Shaoyin, please don't be so polite."

    After a few more greetings, the three of them took their seats.

    Shen Shaoguang came over with a tray, offered drinks and a menu, and asked with a smile, "What do you want to use?"

    "Dare to ask the little lady, since it says 'Shen Ji', can the owner of this shop be surnamed Shen?" Chu Di asked.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "My son is indeed Shen."

    Chu Di's eyes flashed with brilliance, and then he looked at Shen Shaoguang seriously.

    Li Yue knew what he was thinking. When he came to this Chongxian Square, he just walked past the old man's house, and all he thought about was old events. think.

    Although Li Yue was in the south of the Yangtze River, she also asked someone to inquire, saying that the Shen family brother and sister died in Ye Ting, and A Li was also seriously ill. Without adult support, in that kind of place...

      "

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "The nobles are here," and took a look at Lin Shaoyin, the executive vice mayor of Chang'an who has everything in civil affairs, business, and public security. "You don't dare to slaughter an ox." ②

    The code of Li Bai's "Jiangjinjiu" used by both of them.

    One sentence made Li Yue burst into laughter, Chu Di and Lin Yan both glanced at Shen Shaoguang and laughed.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and nodded in salute, took the tray and went back to the kitchen to prepare meals.

      The two silver carp, bacon, marinated fish, meat sauce, and tempeh stored in the warehouse were all used and served with vegetables, and Haolai also made a decent meal.

    Li Yue pointed at the half of the fish head on his food table and smiled, "This is delicious, you can try it."

    This fish head is steamed with cornel sauce. The cornelian sauce is not as spicy as chopped peppers, but it also has a spicy aroma that has been brewed over time, and can remove the fishy smell and improve the freshness.

    The method is similar to that of the offspring's chopped pepper fish head, the fish head is cut in half, first marinated with salt, rice wine, and **** juice to taste, the fish skin is placed on a plate, topped with minced **** and cornel sauce, Boiled water is put into the pot and steamed, and the pot is out of the pot in the time of a cup of tea, sprinkled with minced garlic, chopped green onion, poured hot pepper oil, and that's it.

    The fish head produced in this way is spicy and tender. Compared with the casserole fish head tofu, it has a different taste - about the equivalent of a hot girl and a lady?

    Li Xianggong obviously appreciates the "hot girl", and the uncle of the Chu family is fine. Lin Shaoyin took a bite. Although there was nothing on his face, Shen Shaoguang saw that he drank the drink.

    It seems that Lin Shaoyin is a "lady".

    Shen Shaoguang asked Ah Yuan to fill up the drinking cups for the three of them again, and he went to the kitchen to bring three small bowls of old duck soup, "The summer is hot, please eat some ducks, go Get rid of the moisture."

      It looks beautiful in a small white porcelain soup bowl.

    Lin Yan glanced at her, took a spoon and scooped a piece of wax gourd into his mouth, the dryness of eating fish just now finally subsided, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised.

    Shen Shaoguang said with a pragmatic smile: "I make a living from this, I have done a lot, and I am only familiar with it."

    Chu Di nodded silently.

    Lin Yan glanced at the sweaty hair on her temples, and then thought about the pampered girls, her heart suddenly became sour, my ah...

    Shen Shaoguang saluted again and took the tray back.

    Li Yue also felt that it was inappropriate for Chu Di to compare the little lady who opened the restaurant with the girls. When she thought of the girls, she thought of matching Lin Yan and the Qin family's little Wuniang. Now Qin Wuniang has already As the grandson of Duke Xinyang, Lin and Qin were both talented and beautiful, but they had no fate.

    Li Yue didn't blame Lin Yan, but admired his nostalgia and firmness, and immediately smiled: "Speaking of girls, An Ran is not too young, it's time to start a family."

    Lin Yan glanced at the blue curtain of the kitchen over there, and smiled, "Yes, my grandmother is already seeing each other."

    Li Yue heard that Mrs. Lin Jiatai was in charge, so naturally she would not talk any more.

    Chu Di, who was seated facing Lin Yan, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Lin Shaoyin again, picked up the soup bowl, scooped up a piece of winter melon to eat, it was good with those two bamboo sticks , if it's next to it - isn't it too light?

    The author has something to say:  ①The Peony Pavilion. I've been hesitant to take notes for something as famous as this.

    ②At that time, there were many restrictions on slaughtering cattle, and the slaughtering of healthy and prime-aged cattle was not allowed, and the slaughtering of sick and old people had to go through official procedures. I found an example from the Song Dynasty on the Internet: Anyone who wants to peel a sick cow must submit a certificate to the public, which is also a promise to prevent private slaughter. (Volume 5 of "Yi Jian Zhi, Three Zhi B")

    Lin Shaoyin: My Auntie is working too hard, I feel distressed...

    Shen Shaoguang: Lin Shaoyin, what is your name? what is my name

    Lin Shaoyin:…
