Yang Ruoqing cut a piece of pork liver as big as her palm, then cut into a pair of pork kidneys and four ounces of tenderloin.
When the pork liver is soaked in salt water to kill the virus, first split the kidney in the middle, trim off the tendons inside, then cut it into pieces with a knife, and cut the tenderloin into pieces for later use.
Heat hot water in a pot, add mature vinegar and ginger, star anise, fennel and peppercorns.
When the water boils, pour the sliced pork liver, kidney and tenderloin into the pot and blanch them together.
This wave is not about blanching them and picking them up to pursue that smooth and tender texture. This time, Yang Ruoqing wants to thoroughly scald them.
I bought the chili peppers from the shacks at a big price in the Wa market and cut them into shreds.
Tie two onions and serve with shredded chilies as a side dish.
When the time comes to pick up the pork liver, kidneys and tenderloins, add shredded chili peppers and onions to the oil pan, stir-fry until fragrant, then add the pork liver and stir-fry.
This stir-frying method is Yang Ruoqing's own way of eating it, and it's not greasy.
If you follow Sun's and Wang Cuilian's method, you would put oil directly into the pot. When the oil is hot, add ginger, garlic and dried chili peppers, stir them out until fragrant, and then add raw pork liver, etc.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't accept this kind of eating. It felt like the blood in the pork liver and kidneys was locked inside, and there was always a slight fishy smell when eating.
But her method is different. Because peppers and onions are used as garnishes, the meat and vegetable flavors complement each other, making it a perfect dish to go with wine.
In addition, Yang Ruoqing made a dish of baby cabbage vermicelli soup and fried white sugar peanuts.
Shaodaozi is not suitable for Zichuan to drink. It will not be good if he drinks it in the same miserable state as Daan. Fruit wine with a mellow aroma and low alcohol content is suitable for the two of them.
By the time I finished doing this, only half an hour had passed.
"Mrs. Luo cooks really quickly, and the dishes are beautiful and fragrant." The servant woman praised her sincerely.
Yang Ruoqing smiled lightly, picked up the tray and sent it to the west room.
"The appetizers are here, please have a good drink, two distinguished guests!" Yang Ruoqing put the tray on the desk and said with a smile.
Zuo Junmo glanced at the food and wine in front of him with an intoxicated expression.
"Qing'er deserves to be the owner of a big restaurant. The food and wine are just like the ones in the scrolls! I can feel the deliciousness even before I even use my chopsticks!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled, waved her hand, and said jokingly: "It is an honor for me to serve these two guests. Please use them with caution."
Zuo Junmo smiled again, his eyes gentle.
Mu Zichuan couldn't laugh. He just looked at the food on the table and then looked up at Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, you're thoughtful, thank you!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and said, "Zichuan, there is no obstacle in life that you can't overcome. No matter when, you still have Brother Zuo, you have me, you have Tang Yazi, and you have friends like us supporting you behind your back."
Muzichuan's face was full of emotion and he nodded vigorously: "I'm fine."
Zuo Junmo glanced at Mu Zichuan, and then said to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, don't worry, Zichuan is not a child, nor is he a young boy with a new love. He has been in the officialdom for these years, and he has never seen any big troubles. Yes? This little thing about the love between son and daughter is nothing to him. "
"We'll have a few drinks later, get drunk, and have a good sleep. I'll make sure that when I wake up the next morning, I'll feel as refreshed and relieved as if I woke up from a dream, Zichuan, don't you think so?"
Mu Zichuan nodded: "What Brother Zuo said is absolutely true."
Seeing that Mu Zichuan's expression seemed a little lighter than before, Yang Ruoqing felt a little relieved.
She knew that all of this was Zuo Junmo's fault, so she quietly gave Zuo Junmo a thumbs up.
"Okay, then you two have a nice meal and drink. I have to go to the stage," she said.
Mu Zichuan said: "Tonight, I will delay your viewing of the theater."
Yang Ruoqing waved her hands indifferently: "I watch those shows every year. No matter which show I can hum a few lines, it's okay if I don't watch it for a while."
"Then what?" She turned to look at Zuo Junmo again: "Where will you rest tonight? Is there anything you want me to tell the old lady?"
Zuo Junmo said: "I plan to stay here with Zichuan tonight. Zichuan, you won't dislike me as a big man, right?"
Muzichuan smiled: "How is it possible? I can't ask for it!"
Zuo Junmo also smiled and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Tell my mother to let her rest. I'm drunk tonight and will spend another day at your house tomorrow. You can't dislike us!"
Yang Ruoqing gave Zuo Junmo an angry look: "Brother Zuo, you've already started talking drunkenly before you even drink. I won't delay you any longer. Let's leave first!"
Mu Zichuan nodded.
Zuo Junmo warned: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, you, a woman, should pay attention to your safety."
Yang Ruoqing didn't look back, and raised her fist as she walked, "I also want to become a pretty girl, but my strength doesn't allow it!"
Zuo Junmo and Mu Zichuan were startled at the same time. When Yang Ruoqing left the West Room, they looked at each other and smiled in unison.
"Qing'er is such a happy nut. With her around, there are more laughs, as if all the worries are nothing." Zuo Junmo said with emotion.
Muzichuan also felt the same, "So, Fengtang makes me envious and blessed!"
Zuo Junmo saw Mu Zichuan's expression and didn't want him to shift his attention from Liu Doukou to Qing'er, which would only increase his sadness.
So, he raised his hand and patted Mu Zichuan on the shoulder: "Come on, brother Zichuan, we will only drink tonight and talk about the current situation, not the romance!"
Mu Zichuan nodded, raised the wine bottle in front of him, filled Zuo Junmo himself, and then also filled himself.
"Brother Zuo, take the first cup. I respect you, Brother Zuo! Thank you very much, Brother Zuo, for your enlightenment and comfort. I respect you, Brother Zuo, for doing it first!"
…
The play ended at night, and Yang Ruoqing helped Mrs. Zuo back to Lao Luo's house.
After waiting for her to wash up, Mrs. Zuo sat on the bed with a bowl of red date soup in her hand.
"Hey, I didn't expect that Xiao Yuxi and the Liu family girl would cause such a farce. These young people are so impulsive and reckless in doing things. For the sake of the two of them, they have implicated so many people, especially Zichuan. He Is the biggest victim1”
Yang Ruoqing sat next to the charcoal brazier and warmed her hands. She nodded in agreement when she heard the words: "Zichuan has been a high-spirited person since he was a child. He has been in high school all the way, and his official career is also smooth. He has been helped by noble people."
"This incident... can be said to be the most embarrassing thing in his life. If he wants to get out of this shadow, he has to adjust his mentality on his own."
Mrs. Zuo pondered for a moment and said, "Why did Jun Mo meet Xiao Yuxi and Liu Doukou today? What is the situation?"
"They all said in the village that Liu Doukou was hurriedly sent back to Liu's house by Madam Liu last morning? Could it be that Xiao Yuxi learned the news and waited to intercept the carriage on the way?"
Yang Ruoqing organized her thoughts and told Mrs. Zuo the entire incident that she knew about.
