No Worries about Food and Medicine

Chapter 6: Osmanthus wings

"It's so dangerous! It's so dangerous!" Sui Sui jumped and shouted and ran into the hall of a bowl of noodles. She clasped her cuffs tightly with two small hands, lest the osmanthus fragrans would fall out until she saw it in the backyard. Er Niang, who fetched the water, carefully opened her sleeves carefully, "Don't you smell, don't you smell fragrant?"

Yu Jinnian also came back with cinnamon, and Lao Yuan heard the mother and daughter talking and laughing.

Er Niang covered her mouth and smiled softly. She looked up and saw that Yu Jinnian was coming in. She also made fun of him and said, "Where are you two little thieves going wild?"

"Sui Sui complained to Er Niang as soon as you came back. I didn't know which little girl was going to see it first, but I wouldn't pack you up!" Yu Jinnian was going to catch the little girl, Sui Sui said, "Ya" Screaming and jumping away, running to the back of Er Niang revealing a sharp head, the two of you chased me to play the eagle and catch the chick, causing Er Niang to laugh heartily.

After enough fun, Yu Jinnian found a bamboo plaque, poured the osmanthus in the sleeve to dry it, Sui Sui also stood beside him when he saw it, raised the sleeve like Yu Jinnian, and fell down.

Looking at the two children, one big and one small, as harmonious as their brothers and sisters, the second mother was very relieved. After a while, she suddenly remembered something and said, "There is indeed a osmanthus tree in Swallow Lane. Planting, but in the first two years, both Cheng Bo and the old man have made ancient works one after another, and the courtyard will be empty. "

Thinking of the strange man I saw at that door today, Yu Jinnian couldn't help but ask, "That yard is unowned?"

Er Niang said: "Who knows? If there is no owner, the government should send people to clean up in the early years, but after all these years, the yard is still the same, and no one moves. If you want to come, you still have the Lord?"

There is no master for a while, but there is a master for a while, but the man really meant to enter the hospital, and Yu Jinnian was a little puzzled. In other words, the courtyard was just a common small courtyard next to the house. I heard Er Niang said that the former Dongjia Cheng Bo used to be a servant for a large family, but later he got older and quit his main house and returned to his hometown. Here, I added this house to provide for the elderly, and also worked as a clerk for a few years. The old gentleman is kind, knowledgeable, and respected by the street neighbors. The only pity is that Cheng Bo ’s family has never seen any relatives. It came so that the second elder went away without illness and disease, and it was still a trivial matter for the neighborhood.

In this way, the man is even more suspicious.

Thinking about it, Sui Sui pulled on his sleeve, Baba blinked and asked, "Brother, what do you eat for dinner?"

Yu Jinnian regained his mind, he said, okay, anyway, he had invited the man to eat the guilt meal, if he really came at night, he would know it if it was true or false; if he did not dare to come ... it would be Give the two mothers and daughters improved meals.

When it comes to eating, Yu Jinnian has to think about it. Since he apologizes to others, the food must not be too obscure. He must show some sincerity to speak, but he can't be too extravagant, and he can't afford it.

Thinking about going, he gradually drew up a set of menus in his chest, and then checked the ingredients and prepared them.

Sui Sui volunteered to help, Yu Jinnian looked at her with sincere eyes, a pair of black grapes with shiny eyes, as if to say "I will not be messed up", so she was given a few big, fat, fresh ears, Mushroom, tell her to tear it into small petals slowly.

The little girl obediently moved Zhang Xiaozi to sit at the door, and she really did her job.

Yu Jinnian also took a basket and peeled the garlic.

During this time Sui Sui sneaked a glance at him, finally unable to bear it, and raised his small face to ask him what to eat at night. Yu Jinnian's heart smiled that the help was fake, and it was true to spy on the military. So he quickly said: "Pearl meatballs, Ruyi Xianggan, multicolored osmanthus wings, garlic golden melon, with three fresh side ear soup, and ingots Egg rolls for snacks. "

"..." Sui Sui swallowed and felt more hungry. She whispered in her small mouth for a long time, as if she was dumbfounded, and suddenly stood up and ran to Er Niang's room, "Nang, Niang! You are a big deal! "

During the talk, Yu Jinnian also peeled the garlic on hand, and each of the white fat was full, and he ignored the spike. He returned to the kitchen and started cooking. As for the spike, he reported to Er Niang that he would eat "zhenzhu Youyuan" and " "Aunt Lu Xianggan", he can't control it.

The first dish he made was "Garlic Golden Melon".

The so-called golden melon is a pumpkin. It is famous for its golden color after being cooked in an oil pot. Listening to the name of the dish, the main ingredients are garlic and pumpkin. Garlic can warm the stomach and pumpkin can replenish the vital energy. He remembered that the man he met under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, although he had a posthumous posture, but it was too cold and tired. When he got close, it seemed that there was no temperature and his complexion and lip color Very lightly, he guessed that he might have a deficiency of spleen and weakness, so he drew up this dish.

This golden melon must be baked in a crock to be delicious. He first applied a layer of oil to the bottom of the crock with a small oil brush, and then threw the white fat garlic cloves into a layer, sprinkling some nutmeg, Angelica, **** leaves and spring onion **** slices, etc., not only serve as a seasoning, but also have some warmth and cold dissipation, etc., and finally the boat-shaped skinned pumpkin petals are reversed into the casserole Here, add salt sauce and a little water.

This is the most wasteful time. It needs to be boiled with a high fire on the stove, and then turn to a low fire and cook slowly.

The room was hot, and Yu Jinnian's cheeks were burning red. He lifted his hands and wiped the sweat of both temples, and then proceeded to deal with the next dish. He first used a small mallet to wash the cleaned chicken wings mallet, this is for wing meat At the entrance, it is more elastic, and a file is cut on the tail of the wing with scissors, and the bone inside is bitten out a little to make a boneless wing. Set aside and marinate with sauce and sugar for a while, preparing to make colorful osmanthus wings.

This dish was researched by Yu Jinnian in the last world after he had tasted chicken wings in the snack street. Although the glutinous rice with boneless chicken wings and pouches was novel and delicious, he felt a little greasy when he finished eating. This has been transformed.

He turned the glutinous rice in it into colorful diced vegetables, which was more refreshing and refreshing. The diced dishes here are just what you have to cut. Yu Jinnian chose carrots, cucumbers, cowpeas, corn kernels and white lotus roots, chopped them into small grains and blunted them, mixed them with the newly picked osmanthus today and filled them into boneless chicken wings .

Yu Jinnian rolled up the sleeves on both sides and was about to put his wings into the oil pan. There was a trot outside the door.

Sui Sui rushed in panic and hurriedly shouted, "Oh, here it is!"

"What's coming?" Yu Jinnian wondered.

Sui Sui pointed to the front hall: "The fierce man!"

When Yu Jinnian heard it, he subconsciously thought it was a troublesome diner, and walked out with his legs raised. After all, this has not happened before. That was before, when Er Niang sold some cheap drinks in this noodle shop, there was a rogue gangster who drunk and made troubles, molested Er Niang, and also had a fight with the Tangtang at that time. After going to the county government office, Er Niang felt terrified, and directly stopped the liquor business and changed to selling noodles.

Before I arrived at the front hall, I heard that the bustling facade was rather silent.

Yu Jinnian wondered, this is what a great character came, and his men raised the curtain at the same time.

Take a closer look-someone is sitting in front of a small square table, looking calm, as if he is not in a shabby little noodle restaurant, but sitting on a high-end teahouse, waiting for someone to wait. Because of his incompatibility with the noodle restaurant, he would stand up and smash the venue in the next second, causing the diners on the table to hide away, creating a barrier around the beautiful man.

"..." Yu Jinnian froze for a moment before reacting, but since he was a guest, how could it be unwelcome, so he came out with a smile, "Are you here?"

The man raised his eyes coldly, and gently glanced at the strange blush on the young man's face. Then the long feather-like eyelashes fell slowly, and after a short while he responded with a low "um" word.

Although others were colder, his voice was very gentle, and Yu Jinnian stood beside his table and had nothing to say for a while: "... that, some early, the dish just got off the pot."

The man said calmly: "It's not too early, it's halfway through."

"..." Yu Jinnian had nothing to say for a while. He was quiet on the face, but he couldn't help wailing in his heart. What's going on with this person? Will you just kill him with a few words?

There is a set of coarse porcelain tea set on each table of the noodle restaurant. Because the people coming and going are all rough people, so the tea in the pot is warm and cold, and few people care. At this time the man reached out and picked up a small pot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He first touched the cup with the back of his index finger. When it was cold, he put it down again.

Yu Jinnian looked at his hands and a half hidden in his sleeves, his ten fingers were really white and slender, and there was a small cocoon between his fingers. It was getting late at the moment. Although there was dew, but it was not too cold, this man added a darker smoky cloak than when he first saw it in the afternoon, which made Yu Jinnian and other people with small stoves feel dull.

He bent down to take the cold teapot away, and said softly: "Wait a moment."

So he went into the kitchen and made tea again.

When I passed the backyard, I smelled the scent of osmanthus dried in bamboo plaques, and then I moved it, twisted it in, and took out a few plums from the small salted pot before, and put it into the teapot and poured hot water. The lid is a little stuffy.

In this leisure time, he put the stuffed boneless chicken wings into the pot and stewed it, and then slowed down the fire under the pumpkin crock before taking out the teapot.

He lifted the curtain and met the man's line of sight, as if the man had been staring in this direction since he left, expecting him to come out again, making Yu Jinnian feel an inexplicable embarrassment for a moment Come.

But this illusion was quickly cleared from his mind, maybe people were just looking at the pattern on the curtain.

Yu Jinnian put the hot teapot next to the man's hand and smiled and said, "It's cold, isn't it? This is sweet-scented osmanthus plum tea. It's sour and sweet is delicious, and a little drink can warm the intestines and make appetizers." After a while, he continued, "I was really taking the liberty in the afternoon and picked the sweet-scented osmanthus. The girl at home was young and quarrelled for two, but no, she was already fined."

He chuckled lightly and threw a big pot on the ear of Sui Sui without changing his face. Sui Sui peeping behind the curtain was almost angry, and he didn't know who had his sleeves full. Flowers!

Looking at the flower tea in front of him, the man looked stunned. He looked indifferent to what he said, leaving Yu Jinnian embarrassed. He could hardly stand such a strange aura. When he got up and fled, the man suddenly stopped him Shen Shen asked: "How do you call your Excellency?"

Yu Jinnian stood firm and replied with a wink: "Yu Jinnian. There are more than one year, a splendid Chinese New Year."

"... Jinnian." The man grinded his name slowly between his lips and teeth, and smiled suddenly, "Good name."

Yu Jinnian stared at him, not quite understanding what he meant.

"In the next Ji Hong, people from the North came here to visit a Shibo. He was supposed to live in that osmanthus garden, but now the courtyard door is locked, and the Shibo family has no whereabouts ... "The man's fingers rubbed against the steaming teacup, and the corners of his eyes were gently raised, so that he seemed to be smiling, and it made him look ridiculous. It made people feel unreasonable that even if he only treated him coldly, it was a great sin.

Yu Jinnian stood silly for a while before thinking of answering, secretly annoying himself that a "twenty-eight-year-old" upright young man was actually fascinated by a man.

"Ji Gongzi said the Cheng Bo family?"

Ji Hong nodded: "Exactly."

Yu Jinnian bowed his head and said: "Mr. Sorrow, Cheng Bo and his elders had gone by crane in his early years."

Ji Hong didn't respond when he heard it. He closed his eyes and said nothing. After the tea in the cup gradually became cold, he moved his sleeve slightly and said, "Disturb", he got up and walked, shaking, Even the jade-colored sleeve angle was not known until it was lifted into the teacup.

Yu Jinnian looked at him strangely and always felt uneasy. Before he took his second foot, he reached out and grabbed him.

The man turned back and looked at him very puzzled, frowning gently.

Yu Jinnian still didn't let go, and said stubbornly: "Since it's here, why don't you stay and have dinner? The dishes are already in the pot, originally intended to entertain you. Besides, Ji Gongzi is both a nephew of Cheng Bo's family The owner of the yard is gone, we picked the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard, and we should be guilty of apologizing. "

The words are rather strong words, but Ji Hong is tempted.

Seeing the man finally nodded and agreed to stay, Yu Jinnian also showed a relieved smile, instructing him to "don't go here, and the dishes will be burnt when they are ready", and said to add hot tea to him before returning to the kitchen. go with.

Ji Hong was sitting at the table, feeling dizzy, and somehow he listened to the young man ’s words, and really stayed to eat, but he could n’t help thinking of the curved eyes when the young man was leaving. Can't bear to refuse. He took a cup of tea with **** and took a sip slowly. Indeed, as the teenager said, the sweet and sour sweetness of plums was mixed with a sweet osmanthus fragrance. The throat was very warm and the taste was familiar.

After drinking hot tea, he feels more sleepy, and because this pot of osmanthus plum tea recalls the past, it seems to open a wind in the cold night, the whole body becomes heavy and cold, so he has to gently press his head Leaning on the wall next to him, barely keeping his eyes closed to refresh himself.
