Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

The sweet and salty battle is one of the famous wars on the Internet.In the matter of eating, foodies will never give in. The sweet and salty party has been torn up for several years and has not been able to compete.

Salted tofu, sprinkled with chopped green onion and mustard greens, topped with spicy sauce, and served with a crispy and fluffy steaming dough stick, which is enough to make people happy enough to have the illusion that "today is also a full day".

Sweet tofu brains are more likely to attract people who are addicted to sweetness. The soft and hot tofu brains are topped with sugar juice and melt in the mouth with a refreshing bean aroma. It can be called a staple food or a dessert.

At this time, brown sugar has appeared, made from sugarcane, natural raw material, mellow and sweet."Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded that brown sugar "condensed like stone, scattered like sand. Granulated sugar is mild in nature, soothes the spleen and relieves the liver", and has medicinal value.

Jiang Shuya did both, only to see which one fits the taste of the old lady.

The old lady ate the uninspiring breakfast. Although she hadn't seen the two bowls of tofu, she always felt awkward and uncomfortable eating a meal.

Xu's standing next to serve the old lady to eat, naturally, there is no need to worry about someone spotting her peeking at the bean curd that night — the white, tender and trembling bean curd is topped with brown sugar, it looks smoother than tofu, and I don’t know how it tastes. .

Xu Shiguang thinks about the taste of sugar juice and hot bean curd which is tenderer than tofu.

As a filial daughter-in-law who served her mother-in-law for many years, she naturally saw the old lady's uncomfortableness, but she would not talk too much, let alone please Jiang Shuyao to please the old lady.

She glanced at the sweet tofu head, thinking that it would not taste good when it was cold.

The two thought about each other, and suddenly one rushed out of the house.

"Mother!" Xie Pei's voice came first before he arrived.

He rushed in and found that the old lady was still eating breakfast, saluteed perfunctorily, and leaned in with a smile.

The old lady spoiled her and said helplessly: "Why do you get up so early today?"

"Mother, have you forgotten, today I am going out to play polo with He Wanyao."

"You, you." The old lady poked her forehead, "I haven't seen you not sleepy before."

Xie Pei shrank his head and avoided: "I'm just here to tell you, I will go out immediately."

"What's the hurry, have you eaten breakfast?" The old lady saw Xie Pei just getting up, guessing that she was ready to use some pastry mats to cushion her belly on the road.

"No..." Xie Pei replied reluctantly. Her mother knew that she would definitely not let people go without breakfast.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, the old lady ordered people to set up a meal.

Xie Pei was in a hurry. How could she have time to wait for the maids to go back and forth to the big kitchen to prepare meals, and saw the two bowls of tofu noodles on the table, and said, "I'll just eat this. What is this? I haven't seen it before. ."

The Xu family and the old lady were both stunned, and no one answered.

Xie Pei hesitated when seeing this: "Can't this be eaten?"

The old lady looked embarrassed and said, "Not really."

"That's it." Xie Pei didn't pay much attention to food, anyway, he had to drink a bowl of porridge, and he would also have a bowl of it, all the same.

She took the salty tofu and put it in front of her at any time, smelling the novelty and said: "This is stewed tofu?"

The old lady hesitated and stopped: "Almost."

Xie Pei took a spoonful of tofu brain and put it in his mouth. The tip of his tongue was scalded suddenly. He opened his mouth subconsciously to breathe, remembering his manners, and quickly closed it.

The piping hot tofu brain is extremely tender and smooth, before chewing it, it slides down the throat, all the way to the stomach.

Xie Pei was stunned, still leaving the savory aftertaste of the sauce in her mouth, but she felt that she hadn't eaten anything.

When I looked up, I saw that the old lady and the Xu family were looking at her again, and I was very puzzled.What happened to them today, weird.

She doesn't like to use her head, so she asks what she has: "This...isn't it that way?"

Xu shook his head and asked abruptly: "How does it taste?"

Xie Pei didn't care, took another spoonful, and blew it a few times before sending it into the mouth.

Now I finally tasted it, hot, tender, and slippery. This was her first feeling.It turns out that tofu can also be made so tender, like water, that it melts in the mouth and can be swallowed without chewing.

The simple taste of the sauce does not conceal the original refreshing soy aroma, it is both delicious and not too salty and not suitable for early morning consumption.

"It's delicious." She nodded, mixed tofu brains, and finished eating, her stomach was warm and her whole body was comfortable.Obviously, I didn't feel hungry, but now I am eating appetizingly.

After she finished eating, she wiped her mouth: "This is a cook who made this in the big kitchen. It's a reward."

The old lady choked.

Xu knew the temper of my sister-in-law, so naturally he didn't want to make an unpleasant answer.

So both of them were silent.

Seeing that being so silent is not good enough, the mother who was standing next to her stood up and replied, "If you go back to the fourth lady, the third lady did it."

The third lady?

Xie Pei was stunned, who?

She blinked and reacted after a few breaths, her voice suddenly becoming sharp: "Did Jiang Shuyao do it?!"

She was busy cutting clothes, rewarding jewellery, writing letters to the handkerchief, etc.... She almost forgot about this person.

The old lady didn't reprimand her for being unruly. She actually called her sister-in-law's name directly, but just explained: "This is indeed your sister-in-law's breakfast." In my heart, I don't quite believe that Jiang Shuyao made it personally.

"Nothing to be courteous. If you don't mean it, you steal. What does she send breakfast for? Is there no cook in the big kitchen, or is it rare for her to eat this bowl here, isn't it just tofu?" Xie Pei felt ashamed. , I actually ate the breakfast served by Jiang Shuyao and praised it for its deliciousness. Now that I have eaten it, I can’t vomit it out. It’s really shameful.

The empty porcelain bowl in front of her, she wanted to say a few more ugly things but couldn't say it. Her lips opened and closed, she stood up abruptly, and said dullly: "I'm going first, mother, you eat slowly."

She ran away blushing, leaving Xu and the old lady with embarrassment.

The meal was really unpleasant, and the old lady lost her appetite and waved to tell people to withdraw the food.

Xu's family didn't need to stay here anymore, saluting and retiring.

After leaving Shouning Hall, Xu frowned slightly looking at the back of the maid who had taken the vegetables away.The food used by the old lady will naturally go into the bucket, but the bowl of bean curd is probably cheaper than the maid of the big kitchen.

Xu thought about that bowl of sweet tofu brains, secretly saying it's a pity.

...

Xie Xun had lunch with his colleagues in the East Palace. A meal was used absent-mindedly. A mouthful of shredded chicken thought of last night's chicken wings, and a mouthful of rice recalled last night's fried noodles.

The taste of these dishes is a bit weak, and the finest dishes are not yet their turn, so it is better to eat them at home.

Lin Cheng finished eating his share, looked up and saw that Xie Xun had more than half left, and asked with concern: "Bo Yuan, are you on your mind?"

Xie Xun returned to his senses, shook his head, put down his chopsticks and said, "It's just a poor appetite."

Lin Cheng showed a knowing expression on his face and patted his shoulder sympathetically.

Xie Xun is the outstanding young and middle-aged talent of his peers. The emperor came to visit Hualang, both civil and military, with a good moon and breeze, and he was humbled by self-herd. He deserves the reputation of "Gentleman of Natural History".Lang Yan is unique and unique in the world. No one in the capital would regard him as a role model.

But such a prince married a woman like that. It's really... Lin Cheng had seen Jiang Shuyao before. This woman had a weird dress and a vulgar manner. There was nothing in her whole body that could be worthy of Xie Xun.

Thinking of Xie Xun married for more than a month, I have to face such a wife every day, I am afraid it will be suffering every day.

He suggested: "After the duty is off today, we invite friends to the Zuixiao Building for a few drinks, what do you think?"

Xie Xun raised his eyebrows and shook his head and said, "Someday, there is something at home today, I want to go back soon." Today Jiang said he would have dinner with him, cough... Since he agreed, he didn't let others wait. reason.

Lin Cheng nodded, stopped talking, patted Xie Xun's shoulder again.

Xie Xie was photographed inexplicably, watching Lin Cheng Yuyu leave, and then took his gaze back and glanced at his shoulder, without understanding what was going on.

After losing value, Xie Xun said goodbye to his colleagues and rode home.When I arrived at the gate of Xie Guogong's mansion, seeing that the sky was still early, I thought about it, didn't get off the horse, and walked a few more times before returning to the gate of the mansion.

After dismounting, he walked slowly into the backyard. Halfway through, he met his big nephew Xie Ye.

"Sanshu, have you eaten dinner so early?" When did Xie Ye see his handsome Sanshu strolling by, it was a surprise.

Xie Xun's cold face became even colder, and he glanced at Xie Ye, and then drifted away gracefully after returning to his normal pace.

Xie Xun was angry.

Not angry with Xie Xun, but with myself.

What is he guilty of, deliberately?What I have done in this life is not dignified, isn't it that I came back earlier than usual? As for the delay, I am afraid that Jiang thinks he will eat her to finish the meal?

When he arrived at the Tingzhu Courtyard, Xie Xun had already reflected on his thoughts, and his expression was natural and calm. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he smelled a strong fragrance.

Look, it's not too early to come back, dinner is already prepared.

This smell filled the entire courtyard. The greedy little maid put down the work in her hand and ran near the small kitchen to probe her head. Seeing Xie Xun coming from the courtyard gate, she was so frightened that she disappeared.

Xie Xun is starting to feel uncomfortable again. Now Jiang should be in the small kitchen. Should he go directly to the east wing to wait or see her in the small kitchen?

He stood in the middle of the yard thinking.

There was a strong fragrance in the courtyard, and the little maidservants were jumping and running far, and the maidservant under the corridor could not be seen.As the sun sets, the sunset glow is like a tulle, hazy and gorgeous, coating the eaves and treetops with a warm color.

Thinking of listening to the bamboo courtyard in a deserted and orderly way before, Xie Xun was a little at a loss.

It turns out that the days after getting married are like this, the sunset, rice soup, and fireworks.,,
