"This is called Taro Xianglian. It is stuffed with taro mud and lotus seeds, and the outer layer is a transparent skin made of glutinous rice." Yuan Shichu replied. She didn't know if snacks like taro Xianglian had been invented in this era. She I was bored today, so I asked the maid to learn how to make it. Unexpectedly, it turned out quite delicious, probably because the ingredients were all fresh and of high quality.
"Taro Xianglian? The name of this snack is really nice." Zhan Runiang was still a little girl. Not only was she attracted by the taste and appearance of this snack, but she also felt that the name was good.
"You can take some back to eat if you like." Yuan Shichu said very generously.
"Then I'm welcome." Zhan Runiang said happily.
"By the way, second sister-in-law, your sister is marrying the third prince, right? This is really impressive...Have you ever seen the queen and concubines in the palace?" Zhan Runiang asked Yuan Shichu with a curious look on her face.
Yuan Shichu shook his head: "No, for no reason, how could I see the queen and concubine?"
"But your sister doesn't know how to be the third prince's concubine?" Zhan Runiang was puzzled.
"Yes, my sister is the third prince's concubine, and I am just the sister of the third prince's concubine who is married, and her relationship is average." Yuan Shichu did not hide the fact that he did not have a good relationship with the third prince's sister at all. fact.
Zhan Runiang was very disappointed when she heard this: "I thought that by following the second sister-in-law, I might be able to take advantage of your sister's influence and enter the palace to have a look?"
"That will probably disappoint you." Yuan Shichu said with a shrug.
Zhan Runiang came to chat with Yuan Shichu for half an hour and then left. When she left, she actually took Tao Xianglian back with her.
Zhan Shulin came back from Yuan Mansion in the afternoon. For some reason, he was in high spirits when he went out, but seemed a little sluggish when he came back.
Yuan Shichu narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but ask him: "Did something happen at the wedding banquet? Why are you acting like this? Others must have thought you were not going to a wedding banquet but to attend a funeral."
When Zhan Shulin heard what she said, his eyes suddenly became complicated: "You are so open-minded, what if this word spreads? This is your sister's big day after all, and your brother-in-law is still the third prince, so be careful."
Yuan Shichu apologized perfunctorily: "I said the wrong thing. I apologize. Now can you tell me how you went to a banquet and came back looking like this?"
Zhan Shulin paused, looked at Yuan Shichu intently, with sympathy and pity in his eyes, and asked her: "Did you have no status in your mother's family before?"
When Yuan Shichu heard what he said, he immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at him with some surprise: "You can even see this? You are very observant. Yes, I really don't have much status in the Yuan family, and I am very unworthy. Hi, are you disappointed that you married me?"
"There is no disappointment, just a little unexpected." Zhan Shulin said, "Today your parents were very happy and sent your sister out with rosy faces. The wedding banquet was very lively and decent, and it is far incomparable to our previous weddings."
"That's really wronging you, because for marrying me, a daughter who has no status in the Yuan family, the wedding and the dowry can't compare." Yuan Shichu looked at him tentatively.
Zhan Shulin looked at her indifferently: "There is no grievance. I made the decision to marry you after careful consideration. Since I have chosen you, I will accept all the facts you bring. We don't have to compare with others. "
"Oh, really?" Yuan Shichu didn't know if what he said was true, but since he said so, she would believe it for now.
While the couple was talking, a maid from the old lady's yard came to report that the old lady had received a deer from someone in the village today and asked everyone to go to her yard to eat together in the evening.
Zhan Shulin and Yuan Shichu naturally agreed. Venison is not so easy to get these days. Being able to eat it once depends on luck. Yuan Shichu will not miss this opportunity.
So when it was time for dinner, at the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, he and Zhan Shulin went to Mrs. Zhan's yard. They happened to meet Zhan Shulin's brother Zhan Yuanning and sister-in-law Chen at the gate of the yard.
The two couples greeted each other and entered the yard one after another. When the old lady saw them, she waved them to sit down and said, "We are in for a treat tonight. I specially asked the kitchen to roast the deer legs for this deer." Three fresh deer antler soup, pine branch venison, shredded silver tooth venison, and venison meatball soup...you can have whatever you like."
"Thanks to my mother, my daughter-in-law has such a good taste. Her mother is kind and kind, so she always thinks of us when eating delicious food. My daughter-in-law is so lucky to be able to be a family with her mother and enjoy such delicious food..." Ms. Chen Mrs. Zhan's endless good words made Mrs. Zhan smile.
"Then you should eat more. This deer is very big today, enough for you to open your belly and eat." Mrs. Zhan said to Mrs. Chen with a smile.
"You're welcome there, wife! You must have a good meal tonight..." Mrs. Chen boasted about Haikou.
However, when it came time to actually start eating, Mrs. Chen was very reserved. She only ate half a bowl of three-fresh deer antler soup and a few slices of pine branch venison. She was careful when eating, for fear of getting a little more oil into her stomach. .
As soon as Mrs. Zhan saw how she was eating, she immediately felt very uninterested. Fortunately, she had said she was looking forward to it before, but when she really started, she was like a chicken pecking at rice. She didn't eat much for a long time, and it was hard for people to see it. No appetite.
The old lady stopped looking at Chen in disappointment and shifted her gaze. Then she suddenly saw Yuan Shichu, who was eating very enthusiastically. Her movements were not rude, but rather elegant, but her movements were extremely fast. When she eats the meat, everyone can see that she is really enjoying it: she squints her eyes and tastes it carefully. When she eats and feels that it tastes good, her eyes light up astonishingly, and the joy on her face is not concealed at all...
"The Point Guard Is Here"
When the old lady saw her enjoying the way she ate, her appetite suddenly increased. She felt that the venison in her mouth was indeed very fragrant, so she couldn't help but eat more.
"Old madam, this roasted deer leg will be cold if you don't eat it, right?" Yuan Shichu stared at the deliciously roasted deer leg that was served whole, and said to Mrs. Zhan with salivation.
When Mrs. Zhan saw her like this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, it will be cold if you don't eat it. Xiu'er, come and cut off the meat from the roasted deer leg and share it with everyone. I haven't seen your second young lady." Are you all greedy?"
So the maid Xiu'er came forward and quickly and flexibly removed the meat from the deer's leg, put it on a small plate, and distributed it to several owners one by one.
Yuan Shichu couldn't wait to pick up a piece. It was really delicious, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. She couldn't help but praise: "This roasted venison leg is really delicious. Which chef in the kitchen can do this?" Are you going to open a store outside?"
