Chapter 122 Butterfly Lovers (8)(1/2)
When Liu Tao opened the door and went out, it was completely dark outside.
There are no street lights, and moonlight is the biggest light source in the dark. Most people's houses are dark, and only a few of the wealthier ones light kerosene lamps. The black smoke and dim light interweave, looking like little sparks.
Luo Jun was still the same as when he came, with his hands in his pockets, standing at the door of the house. The moonlight shone on his body, his face was half bright and half dark, and his eyes looked very deep.
"I don't like carrots," Luo Jun said.
"I know, so I asked Master Jiang to make the carrots more delicious." Liu Tao walked up to Luo Jun, held his hand skillfully, and the two of them walked home together.
"I remember that you didn't like eating vegetables at first. Don't you really like the vegetables made by Master Jiang?"
"He cooked them in chicken soup, and the carrots cooked in chicken soup are not delicious either." Luo Jun retorted.
"But maybe there are other ways to make carrots delicious." Liu Tao said with a smile, "If Master Jiang can't make it delicious, then we won't order it in the future."
"Um."
"You've finished reading the newspaper, what are you going to read tomorrow? I'll pack things out in advance in the morning."
"Look... "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman". There are so many newspapers. You don't know where to start. I can just look for it myself tomorrow morning."
"Okay, it's all my fault that I don't know how to read." Liu Tao was a little disappointed.
"There are many people who don't know the characters, and those who know the characters may not be of much use." Luo Jun said disdainfully, "I know a lot of people named Chu. I know English, French, German, and Japanese. How can I say that I have learned the Four Books and the Five Classics since I was a child?
I studied new Western education in college. If I graduate from a prestigious school and join the government, I will only be able to approve documents and make money."
“I have so many coins from various countries at home that I can’t even put them in the safe, and they want to blackmail me over the head.”
After hearing what Luo Jun said, Liu Tao asked: "I remember before we left Shanghai, Minister Chu asked someone to give me two ruby rings. I haven't heard from him in the past two years, and he is still working in Shanghai.
?”
Luo Jun nodded: "Probably, he is probably swimming."
Liu Tao tilted her head and didn't quite understand. However, there were many things she didn't understand in her life, and she didn't have the habit of delving into them, so she just nodded and continued walking forward.
After returning home, Liu Tao went to bed early, while Luo Jun was used to staying up late, reading the newspaper in front of a candle until midnight before going upstairs to sleep.
On the morning of the second day, Liu Tao got up early, cleaned the house briefly, went into the kitchen to brew the ingredients needed to make tangerine peel tea, and waited for the milkman to come.
When Luo Jun got up, the tangerine peel tea had already been brewed and was at the right temperature.
Luo Jun was eating tangerine peel tea and reading the newspaper, while Liu Tao went upstairs to dress up, put on a complete set of jewelry, and prepared to go out with a food box.
"I went to get some noodles from Master Jiang. Yesterday, I asked Master Jiang to make some new flavors. I have to go over and see how he is doing. If not, there is still time to change." Liu Tao began to report the itinerary.
Luo Jun stared at the newspaper and said, "If you don't like wearing so much jewelry when you go out, you don't have to wear it."
Liu Tao touched the new earrings, looked at the ruby ring given by Minister Chu that she had just dug out from upstairs, and said, "It's okay if you get used to it."
"I am Mrs. Luo. If you go out naked, Boyan, you will be laughed at by others."
Luo Jun stopped talking and drank the last sip of tangerine peel tea.
Liu Tao goes out.
Luo Jun stood up, and just when Qin Huai thought that Luo Jun was going to sit on the sofa and read a novel to be his otaku, Luo Jun walked to the door, paused for two minutes and slowly changed his shoes and went out.
Qin Huai:?
Luo Jun was walking slowly outside. The neighbors along the road were not surprised when they saw Luo Jun and went about their own work.
The route Luo Jun took was very familiar to Qin Huai, because he had already walked with this couple yesterday - it was the road to Master Jiang's place.
Very good, Mr. Luo is no longer an otaku today, but a slut.
Luo Jun slowly walked to the familiar street corner. He did not knock on the door of the short house, but walked into the yard skillfully.
There are no children playing in the mud in the yard, only the child who sweeps the yard.
When the woman saw Luo Jun, she skillfully brought him a cushioned chair and smiled flatteringly at Luo Jun: "Mr. Luo, my little bitch sneaked into Master Jiang's place again when I wasn't paying attention. It's really...
Excuse me."
"It's okay, my wife likes children." Luo Jun nodded calmly, "You go about your business."
The woman continued to sweep the floor, but this time she had to avoid Mr. Luo's direction when sweeping the floor, so as not to spread dust on Mr. Luo's clothes.
Luo Jun took out a newspaper folded into tofu cubes from his pocket, unfolded it, and began to read the newspaper.
Qin Huai:......
How can I put it, Luo Jun's hobbies and habits have remained consistent for many years.
It was fun to watch Luo Jun read the newspaper in the yard, but Qin Huai wanted to know what was going on in the house even more.
After watching "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" for two minutes, Qin Huai walked into the short room.
Jiang Weiming, Goudan and Liu Tao were all in the kitchen. The food box Liu Tao brought was placed on the table outside. The front and back doors of the kitchen were both open. As long as one of the three people in the room was willing to go to the back door,
Take a step and look outside to see Luo Jun reading a newspaper in the yard.
But these three people were destined not to look outside. Everyone's eyes were focused on the noodles.
On the chopping board are kneaded white noodles, chopped carrot puree, minced meat and beet juice.
"Meat-filled noodles...are they still noodles?" Although Liu Tao doesn't know how to make noodles, she has been a rich lady for several years and has some experience in eating them.
When Jiang Weiming was asked this question by Liu Tao, he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. His expression was very familiar to Qin Huai. It was the same expression that Zheng Siyuan made, showing that he was sorry for his ancestor's decision.
"This...I...this is me..."
Jiang Weiming hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I can only think of this method."
"The taste of carrots is very special, especially after it is steamed. It is difficult to cover up the taste of carrots with other ingredients, unless you add a lot of spices."
"But adding a lot of spices to the dough will only put the cart before the horse and make it weirder."
"I have been cooking for you and Mr. Luo for so long, and I have a general understanding of Mr. Luo's taste. Mr. Luo doesn't like vegetables. His favorite non-meat dish is tofu, because tofu is simmered in broth or chicken soup.
It tastes more meaty afterward.”
"I made the meat stuffing, mixed the carrot puree into the meat, added some diced bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried the stuffing first to stir out the oil, and then simmered it with chicken soup. I knew this stuffing was weird, because this stuffing
The filling is a kind of stuffing for steamed buns that my dad taught me."
"But this stuffing is the stuffing I know that can be made from carrots that best suits Mr. Luo's taste."
"I will make the mianguoer in the shape of an apple. Please don't tell Mr. Luo when you take the mianguoer back today, just say it is an apple-shaped bun. Tell him to eat it while it's hot.
, it won’t taste good when it’s cold. If it’s cold, you can put the buns in the steamer and steam them for three minutes, and the taste won’t be any worse.”
Jiang Weiming began to beg.
Liu Tao:......
"Okay." Liu Tao nodded, "I will tell my husband when I get back... These are the new apple-shaped buns made by Master Jiang."
Jiang Weiming started frying the stuffing.
Qin Huai was watching from the side, his eyes getting brighter as he watched.
Qin Huai discovered that although Jiang Weiming's noodle making was mediocre and worse than Zheng Siyuan's, his skill in frying stuffing was really good.
Qin Huai also stir-fries stuffing every morning. He knows that stir-frying stuffing does not require good skills, nor does he need to master skills such as turning a spoon, but the simpler the things, the better the skill.
This is just like making boiled cabbage requires skill, but making the taste of boiled cabbage requires even more skill.
After frying the stuffing, Jiang Weiming began to simmer the stuffing in chicken soup. Qin Huai was also familiar with this step, and he could not simmer it to the same level as Jiang Weiming.
The juice is collected just right, and the stuffing of the simmered buns is so fragrant that Qin Huai can't wait to have a bowl first to taste it.
Qin Huai was not the only one who had this idea.
Goudan, who was sitting on the ground watching Jiang Weiming cooking, started to only stare at the stuffing in the pot, and shouted in a serious tone: "Routu, Rourou!"
"Obviously, Rourou."
Listening to the accent, it is indeed a northern accent.
Jiang Weiming put the stuffing into a bowl, mixed it with a little sesame oil, and patted Goudan's head: "This is Mr. and Mrs. Luo's snack. You don't have this luck."
Whether it is minced meat or white noodles, they are the most expensive food in this era. Ordinary people can sigh that they have no regrets in their lives after taking one bite. Jiang Weiming knows that the cook can eat some of the leftovers from the guests, but absolutely not
You can put your chopsticks into your guests' meals.
"Master Jiang, please make two more small ones later, one for each Goudan. My husband and I can't finish all these snacks." Liu Tao said with a smile, looking down at Goudan, "Goudan today
But it’s a blessing.”
"Taotao, Taotao." Goudan is also called Liutao.
"Now he has really learned a northern accent from Master Jiang." Liu Tao said with a smile.
Jiang Weiming smiled and started to make bread and fruits.
Compared with the ease with which he was frying stuffing just now, Jiang Weiming looked a little clumsy when making bread and fruit, but his overall skills were not bad. It could be seen that he had practiced before but was not good at it and was rusty.
Qin Huai watched quietly from the side. The more he looked, the more he felt that this technique was somewhat similar to what Zheng Siyuan taught him.
Sure enough, these difficult desserts all come from the same origin, and the techniques are similar.
Soon, each apple dough fruit of similar size was wrapped.
