Wanghai County, Changping Village, Lao Yangtou's old house. ?
While waiting, two more young women from the same family came over with aprons and kitchen knives and chopping boards.
"Hey, is it possible that the fourth aunt hasn't gotten up yet? Did she steal cattle at night?" The guys joked together.
"Who knows, I guess it will be soon. I was washing up earlier."
Amid such teasing, Yang Huaming and Liu came over together.
"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for so long. So why don't you get busy and start working? Let's eat something to satisfy our stomachs first!"
Yang Huaming held a baggage roll in his hand. He put the baggage roll on the table and opened it. There were two packages of snacks inside.
The dessert is very beautiful, it looks a bit like a chicken cake, but it is not as fluffy as a chicken cake. ?
It must have been baked too, with a layer of honey smeared on the surface and baked until it was golden brown. It looked good and tempting, and when I took a bite, it was a little crispy on the outside but very soft on the inside.
"Eat everything. When you are full, you will have the strength to work!"
The host, Mrs. Liu, was inside and took the lead in eating. He grabbed one in each hand and stuffed it into his mouth. The appearance of eating was a bit ugly.
But the people present were already used to it, and even Yang Huaming was too lazy to quarrel with her. While everyone was eating snacks, Yang Huaming went out twice. After two times, there were two more baskets and a wooden basin in the main room. A wooden barrel.
He clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention, and then said with a smile: "The ingredients are all here, and I have prepared the menu. Come on, Qing'er, you can read, and you can give me the menu." Take a look!”
"Okay!" Yang Ruoqing stuffed the last piece of snack in her hand into her mouth, her cheeks bulging.
While chewing and swallowing the snacks in her mouth, she glanced at the menu in her hand from top to bottom, and nodded as she read. ?
"Ah, Fourth Uncle, can't you tell, your menu this time is really rich. Is this prepared by you or my Fourth Aunt?" Yang Ruoqing asked while looking at it.
I originally thought that the menu at Sifang would be easy to search, but I didn’t expect that it would be full of boldness and grandeur.
It not only retains the traditional specialties and authentic hometown dishes of this area, but also innovates on this basis!
Yang Huaming said: "Of course I made it up, your fourth aunt knows nothing!"
At the same time, Liu's voice also sounded: "It must be me. Your fourth uncle will be Amitabha if you don't cause trouble!"
The couple's voices were in sync, which made Yang Ruoqing and the others really... dumbfounded.
Sun said: "If you are not a family, you will not enter the same family."?
Bao Suyun also laughed: "Yes, this is about the same as a run!"
Zhao Liuer joked: "Then who planned this?"
Yang Huaming looked at Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu looked at Yang Huaming. Finally, Yang Huaming said, "Okay, okay, I will write the name of the dish she reported on the paper. Is this answer okay?"
Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows: "That's about the same. Don't grab the credit from me. Maybe I'm not as good as you in other things, but when it comes to eating and drinking, even ten of you can't beat me!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Hey, let's not talk about it. I believe that the fourth aunt is not bragging. She pursues delicious food the most."
She likes to eat and drink everywhere. She looks like a gourmet and is well-informed. She also has a surprisingly good memory when it comes to food and drink, so the fourth aunt Liu has no problem telling her the names of dishes. she!
"Qing'er, have you noticed that many of the dishes on the menu look familiar?" Ms. Liu grabbed another piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth, winking at Yang Ruoqing while eating. ?
Yang Ruoqing shook her head helplessly: "Why don't you look familiar? Pickled fish hot pot, stir-fried chicken gizzards, bandit pork liver, spicy shrimps, and roasted whole lamb. Aren't they all dishes I have cooked before? You gave them all to me. It was stolen!"
Mrs. Liu grinned widely, causing the snack crumbs in her mouth to spray everywhere.
Regarding Yang Ruoqing's accusation that she had stolen Luo's menu, Mrs. Liu even confessed, and even said shamelessly: "People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. People say I am greedy, but I have been a greedy person over the years. I have never eaten anything." No bite of delicious food is free!”
Yang Huaming mocked her: "Just brag and find an excuse for your greed!"
Mrs. Liu glared at Yang Huaming, "Why am I bragging? I have the capital to brag. I have recorded all the dishes I have eaten here, and I will not forget anything!"
She pointed at the melon seeds on her head, "What about you, Yang Huaming, do you remember? All the delicacies you ate turned into feces and were thrown into the pit. You ate in vain with your eyes closed!" "
Finally, Mrs. Liu would like to add one more sentence: "It went into the dog's belly, bah!"?
The output of words left Yang Huaming speechless, and he couldn't find the words to reply to Liu.
Because the fact is right in front of us. There are thirty-six dishes on the menu from top to bottom, only six of them were thought of by him, and the remaining thirty were all thought of by Mr. Liu.
In this area, she is really awesome! Yang Huaming had to accept this!
Yang Ruoqing read the menu, then handed it back to Yang Huaming, and said with a smile: "Follow this menu, this banquet will be very, very rich!"
Bao Suyun sat aside and was very curious about the menu. Unfortunately, she was illiterate. Even if it was shown to her, she wouldn't be able to understand it.
She wanted Yang Ruoqing to be remembered, but she couldn't save her face. If she did, it would easily be misunderstood as wanting to compare with her.
After all, Wufang just finished hosting the Full Moon Wine yesterday, and the dishes served at the Full Moon Wine yesterday were not thirty-six, but only twenty-eight. ?
But even these twenty-eight dishes are already very, very rich for other families in the village. Other families in the village usually have eighteen dishes for banquets.
This is a standard. Even if you make two bowls of the same dish, the number must be eighteen.
I am twenty-eight, which is already an exception. I didn't expect that these four rooms would prepare thirty-six dishes in one go!
Bao Suyun quietly went to look at Mrs. Liu, and recalled that when she was hosting a banquet yesterday, the fourth sister-in-law always kept going into the kitchen. She asked almost every dish, "What dish is this?" How did you burn it? What ingredients are used? Is it out of the pot? Let me have a taste...
At that time, Bao Suyun, like the people around her, thought that the fourth sister-in-law had such a personality and was just greedy.
Who is not greedy? Right? It is human nature to eat and drink, even poultry and livestock are like this.
Looking back now, Bao Suyun belatedly lamented that the fourth sister-in-law was not a simple person. She had a good memory. This time she cooked thirty-six dishes, as well as roasted whole lamb, and instantly transformed Changping Village. All the large and small banquets held over the years have been suppressed! ?
"Well, since there are thirty-six dishes, it's a big project. Come on, come on, fourth uncle, hurry up and tell us the types of ingredients, so we can hurry up and take action!"
