Chapter 44 Gluice [Delivering Vegetables for Collection]

On the banks of the Jielu River, the fresh reeds swayed with the wind, and a large area of reeds were stacked layer by layer, like water waves. A bamboo building with a little moss new green in the withered yellow. During this period, several yellow dogs chased each other, and a boat fluctuated with the waves.

Qin Shubao rode a horse, and Zhao Meng led the horse. The two walked into this quiet scene like stepping on a green.

When a girl saw the two, she immediately returned and ran into the house. Soon, Li Yu came out with his stomach straight, followed by an old man.

Qin Shubao nodded to the old man and the girl and followed Li Yu into the bamboo building. Zhao Meng led the horse to the reeds beside him without disturbing them.

Qin Shubao and Li Yu sat down, and the girl came up with fragrant tea and poured tea for Qin Shubao with a smile. Qin Shubao said with a smile, "The bud is getting more and more watery. I don't know who will be cheaper in the future."

The girl who poured tea looked at Qin Shubao delicately and was dissatisfied with Qin Shubao's teaing her, but her face still looked red because of his words.

Li Yu smiled with the thief and kept winking at the bud. The girl was thin-skinned and couldn't stand such scoundrels. She made tea for them and fled.

"What are you going to eat today?"

In the face of Qin Shubao's problem, Li Yu drank a cup of tea proudly to bully the girl and said with satisfaction, "Shubao, you are just injured. Let's not eat those strange things. Just order normal food."

"Yo, rotor?"

Li Yu patted his stomach, pointed his fat fingers to his stomach and said, "After eating so many strange things, it's time to let it enjoy, otherwise how can you be worthy of yourself?"

Qin Shubao picked up the earth-fired porcelain cup, and some rough surfaces rubbed his fingers. The tea in the cup was fragrant and he took a shallow drink, which was very comfortable. Since Li Yu said it was a normal dish, it must be good.

After the two gossiped, there was a seductive fragrance in the house, which made people's tongues.

Qin Shubao took a deep breath and swallowed his saliva. He only felt comfortable and looked forward to what kind of dish was served. Compared with Qin Shubao's enjoyable expression, Li Yu was quite angry, with only a shallow smile on his face.

The old man came up with a plate of vegetables in his hand, and his face was slightly angry, while Yaer hid at the door and stuck out his tongue at the old man.

"Ms. Li, the stir-fried phoenix tongue and Ruyu tofu have been cooked. The two gentlemen tasted it first, and the little old man will grab the dishes later."

A golden plate of stir-fried phoenix tongue has star-red peppers. The fragrance of peppers is mixed with the fragrance of the ingredients, which makes the population grow. Before you taste it, you already feel a crisp and spicy fragrance in your mouth.

The plain and elegant tofu doesn't feel any strange. A few green onions are scattered among them, which is not the same as a farm dish. If he comes out with others, Qin Shubao does not think that this plate of tofu is expensive, but if he comes out with Li Yu, a glutton, it must be extraordinary.

Li Yu used coarse porcelain to drink tea to deal with these foods, but Li Yu was 100% careful. The utensils used for the two dishes were the best of Ruyao. A single porcelain plate was at least 100 taels of silver.

Pick up the green jade spoon at hand, scoop out a spoon of the stir-fried phoenix tongue, and put it in the mouth. The unique spicy pepper occupies the tip of the tongue, and the upper and lower teeth are buckled. The elastic ingredients jump in the mouth with a crispy taste, like a hundred birds flapping their wings and spreading their wings.

"Okay! Strong enough! Delicious!"

Qin Shubao was full of praise. After eating a spoonful, he was not busy scooping a spoonful. His mind still haunted the feeling just now, like glue.

Li Yu's fat face showed a heartfelt smile. He was not busy eating, but began to explain it to Qin Shubao.

"This plate of fried phoenix tongue is the tongue of 500 thrushes, and it is the kind of plump and pleasant thrush. After pulling out their tongues, freeze them with ice cubes. After the ice water melts, the blood stains on the tip of their tongue will also be washed off, and then quickly oil them to maintain the effect of crisp and tender inside, and then chili and garlic. Twenty years of flower carving and other ingredients are fragrant. From the beginning to the serving, it can't take more than half a cup of tea.

Qin Shubao listened to his tongue. It costs 500 thrushes for this dish alone, which is too luxurious!

After chewing the phoenix tongue in his mouth, Li Yu saw Qin Shubao's expression and said in his heart, "I can't raise birds well. Can't I eat some good birds?"

This explanation makes Qin Shubao speechless!

"I lied to you, these bird tongues are indeed thrushes, but I'm absolutely not bored enough to buy 500 thrushes to pull out my tongue. These are just what I bought from those restaurants in Bianliang City. A few penny, never spend too much."

Hearing the truth, Qin Shubao became speechless. This little cleverness really does not match Li Yu's identity, but it is a necessary quality for a gluttony! Eat all the delicious food in the world with the least money.

"What's so special about this plate of jade tofu?"

Li Yu did not answer this question, but pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Try it and you will know."

Qin Shubao used silver chopsticks to pick it up, but he didn't expect that the tofu was too tender. As soon as he picked it off, he saw Li Yu's face towards him, he knew that the boy deliberately did not tell him the truth.

At present, I don't bother to teach Li Yu a lesson. After putting a piece of food in my mouth with a spoon, the jade tofu melts in the mouth with a warm temperature, and then turns into a torrent sweeping the whole mouth, as if eating tofu brain, not as a dish of tofu.

But when I tasted it carefully, I found that there were some remnants in my mouth, which were crushed with my tongue, and a trace of fishy smell spread. When I came to my senses, there was a kind of pleasure in my mind.

"Is this tofu?" The feeling in his mouth made Qin Shubao not sure whether he really ate the tofu ground with soybeans.

Li Yu said inexplicably, "Yes or no!"

"Quickly!"

Qin Shubao couldn't stand Li Yu's stinky appearance and roared angrily. Li Yu smiled and explained, "This tofu is ground with soybeans, but it is mixed with monkey brains here. I won't talk about the process of making it. Anyway, it's very cumbersome. There is a little difference in a certain process, and the taste of the whole finished product is 100,000. Eight thousand miles. However, this tofu is ready, and processing is also a handicraft. If it hadn't been for Lao Wei, I would have been reluctant to buy this tofu with real money.

"Ha ha... Mr. Li, you are a little boy! The little old man just cooked a few dishes for the prince and couldn't stand such praise. The old man surnamed Wei walked in with a pot of soup, followed by reluctant buds.

Qin Shubao sniffed his nose and stared at the casserole that had not yet been opened in the hand of the old man surnamed Wei. The old man surnamed Wei laughed, put the casserole on the table and said, "It's better to find a diner like Mr. Qin, but he is picky but he knows that the best dish."

"Ha ha... Lao Wei, you are too good at flattery. With your cooking skills, any ingredients in the world are not a Taoist boutique. Qin Shubao saw that the old man surnamed Wei's face had changed and wanted to remedy it, but he was stopped by the old man surnamed Wei.

The old man smiled openly, and there was no longer the sadness of years on his face. He said, "It's time to let go. After so many years of persistence, it's time to make good plans for his granddaughter."

After saying that, the old man touched the head of the bud, as if he had put down some heavy burden.

The old man surnamed Wei was originally the imperial chef of the previous dynasty. He was worried about the previous dynasty and refused to agree with the new dynasty. He was rich and half poor for half his life, and his son and daughter-in-law were dragged to death by his stubbornness. By chance, Li Yu helped him, and because Li Yu smelled the special spices on his body, he made this fate.

"Since Lao Wei has seen it, he must be the imperial chef in the imperial city within three months. I, a fat man, can't eat the dishes you cook." Li Yu said half jokingly and half seriously.

The old man shook his head and touched the rosy buds on his face. If it weren't for his stubbornness, at least it was the life of the little jasper, but now she is following him in the wilderness and almost didn't eat enough a few years ago.

Thinking of the sad past, the eyes of the old man with the loess's chest gradually turned red. The sensible bud rubbed the old man's face with her head, revealing a precocious but strong sunny smiling face.

"The little old man will not deal with goods in his life, let alone use his own skills to satisfy the world. The little old man just wants to help Mr. Li stir-fry a few dishes when he can move."

"Damn, I suddenly want to drink! It's a pity that you don't have good wine here, Lao Wei!" Li Yu is rarely domineering, but he has the feeling of going back.

The old man clicked the peach tree outside the door and said on his own initiative, "Bud, go and dig out the daughter Hong buried under the peach tree."

"That's a good relationship! Only when there is wine and food is fast!"

Qin Shubao looked at Li Yu, who seemed to know nothing, and was a little worried about the fate of Yaer. The girl was very pleasing, and he also liked this quiet life.

"Do you know what you mean?" Qin Shubao whispered in Li Yu's ear. Li Yu nodded to the old man with a smile and whispered to Qin Shubao, "Is it just a concubine who can cook in multiple rooms? What's the fuss?"

Qin Shubao was silent, and his thoughts still stayed yesterday!
