Chapter 598: Qinglong lying in the snow

  Chapter 598 Qinglong Crouching in the Snow

  Since the beginning of summer, the temperature in the capital has been getting hotter day by day, and the number of mosquitoes has gradually increased. While having dinner, Ting Yuxuan's two maids cleaned up Zhu Pingan's bedroom, lit wormwood, and lit incense to prevent mosquito bites from disturbing his night's sleep.

The little loli girl and the bear boy Li Yangong had dinner at Zhu Ping'an's place. The two fell in love with the pickled cucumbers that Zhu Ping'an brought from home. They also drank a bowl of porridge more than usual, so let's pick up the two little ones Zicuckoo's eyes widened in surprise.

She knows how difficult these two little ancestors are. Without the old ancestors watching, letting them eat is like fighting a war. I barely ate enough to fill my stomach, and the meals are very small, and I mostly eat snacks to fill my stomach.

  But now, these two picky eaters and difficult little ancestors actually ate two bowls of porridge, and no one cares about them, especially Young Master Gong, who ate two large pancakes by himself, which is unimaginable in normal times.

   Zijuan knew that the reason why the two little ancestors had such a good appetite was the small jar of unremarkable pickled cucumbers on the table.

  At this moment, she looked eagerly at the pickled cucumbers on the table.

the reason is simple.

  Since the beginning of summer, the weather has gotten hotter, and the appetite of the old lady in the Marquis of Linhuai's Mansion has also dropped a lot, almost half of the usual food intake. The old lady was getting old, and she couldn't use the crushed ice porridge to reduce the heat, so the Zijuan and other maids who took care of the old lady also got angry with worry.

  Now that Little Lolita and Master Gong, who are notorious for not eating, ate pickled cucumbers, they both used an extra bowl of porridge. Therefore, Zijuan looked at the pickled cucumbers as if he had seen a panacea.

   "My lord, can I let the servant girl taste this delicacy."

   Zijuan pointed to the green pickled cucumbers on the table with her little finger, and looked at Zhu Ping'an eagerly. Those who didn't know thought this girl was in spring.

   Food? Hehe, if my mother knew that someone said that the country pickles she pickled were delicacies, she would definitely laugh "modestly" and then show off her pickled cucumbers in the village

"certainly."

  Zhu Ping'an nodded and made a gesture of invitation. Zhu Ping'an was also happy that someone could appreciate the pickled cucumbers made by his mother.

  Zijuan thanked repeatedly excitedly, then took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of cucumber, then slowly put it in his mouth, and chewed it lightly.

   crunchy

  Then, her tender body shook instantly, and her face was covered with a blush.

This taste is unbelievable. It is the first time I have tasted this kind of taste. This dish is unprecedented. It is crisp and delicious. This cucumber is sweet and sour, and spicy and sweet. The sauce is rich, sweet and sour. , Icy and delicious, appetizers and digestion.

  This taste is like magic, and people can't help but want to take one bite after another, and they can't stop at all.

   After eating such a cucumber stick, Zicuckoo looked at the porridge on the table and her eyes became hot. She couldn't help but want to drink a bowl, and then another bowl.

  So, Zijuan couldn't help imagining how the old lady couldn't stop eating pickled cucumbers and drinking porridge. Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but glow green.

"My lord, these delicacies and side dishes are really delicious, sweet and sour, appetizing and digesting. It's summer recently, and the old lady's appetite is getting worse day by day, and the servant girl is also worried day by day. Today, I have tasted my aunt's food." I feel like I have found a savior. My maid has an unfeeling request, can you tell me where you bought this delicious dish?" Zijuan looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes, eagerly asked.

   Zhu Pingan shook his head.

   Zijuan was stunned, she didn't expect my uncle to reject her.

Seeing Zijuan's stunned look, Zhu Pingan smiled softly and explained, "It's not that I didn't tell you where I bought it, but even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to buy it, because I didn't buy it, it was my mother's." Pickled at home."

   "It turned out that Madam pickled it at home." Zijuan felt lost, thinking that she had found a delicious side dish that would whet the old lady's appetite, but this side dish was pickled by my uncle and mother at home.

  A gentleman stays away from the kitchen! What's more, my uncle is still a scholar, so why would he care about such a trivial matter of pickling cucumbers? My uncle definitely doesn't know how to pickle cucumbers.

  The panacea is right in front of you, but you just can't get it. This feeling is the most disappointing, and Zijuan has a deep understanding of this at the moment.

   "Although I don't know how to do it, but my mother knows the method and steps when pickling it. You can try to pickle it yourself." When Zijuan was lost, a voice like the sound of heaven sounded in her ear.

   "Ah, really?" Zijuan smiled with joy on his face.

   "If you read a lot, you will naturally remember it. There are a few places to pay attention to, it's actually very simple." Zhu Ping'an nodded.

   "The maidservant should ask my lord for advice. My lord, don't think the maid is dull." Zijuan giggled coquettishly, then put her hands on her left waist, bent her knees and performed a blessing.

  The bear kid next to him saw this scene, Xiaopang pulled the little loli next to him, lowered his head and said in a disgusted voice, "Laughing just like my aunt met my father at night."

  Although the sound is low, the room is not very big, so I can still hear it.

  Zicuckoo on the side heard this, and couldn't help laughing, "My young master, don't talk nonsense, the servant girl doesn't have the guts."

   As expected of the old lady's big girl, her on-the-spot adaptability is worthy of praise. With such a smile, the matter is fine. Even if outsiders know about it, they will think it is childish speech.

   "In terms of ingredients, cucumber, carrot, soy sauce, white wine, rock sugar, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and pepper. As for the amount, you have to master it yourself. Let the experienced cook in the back kitchen try a few more times."

   "Choose fresh and tender cucumbers and carrots and cut them into strips, sprinkle with salt and mix well, press them with a heavy object to squeeze out as much water as possible from the cucumbers."

  Zhu Ping'an touched the bear's head, smiled softly, and then recalled how his mother pickled cucumbers. Zicuckoo on the side listened attentively, and often waited for orders in front of the old lady, and her ability to memorize things also improved a lot, and she carefully memorized the method of pickling cucumbers.

   "Oh, one thing must be kept in mind, whether it is the utensils or the pickling process, do not touch raw water, and use cool boiled water, otherwise it is easy to breed bacteria." After finishing speaking, Zhu Pingan emphasized again.

   "Breeding bacteria?" Zicuckoo was stunned, at a loss as to what bacteria are.

   "Oh, it's the dialect of our hometown. It's very simple. Drinking cold water is easy to get sick, but cold boiled water will not. Pickled pickles will eventually be eaten, so use cold boiled water." Zhu Pingan explained casually.

   Bacteria is a disease?

  Bacteria, sickness, well, it seems so. Zicuckoo thought for a while and nodded.

   "Master, what's the name of this delicacy?" Zicuckoo asked after trying to write down the pickling process.

   "Pickles." Zhu Pingan replied without thinking.

"Pickled cucumber" Zicuckoo repeated after hearing the words, pouted her lips, felt that such a delicious dish was called by its name, it was too wronged, and the old lady probably didn't even hear the name of this delicious dish appetite.

   "Oh?" Zhu Pingan glanced at it and knew what was going on, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Or you can also call it Emerald Cucumber, or Jade Plate Pickled Cucumber, or Qinglong Woxue, or Youlongxifeng."
