Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

Xie Xun was angry.

To be precise, Jiang Shuyao felt that Xie Xun was angry.

Although Xie Xun used to have a coffin face, after getting along for a long time, Jiang Shuyao could still see his emotions hidden under his facial paralysis.

He, a person who is used to eating and drinking, deliberately avoided himself, Jiang Shuyao can feel it no matter how big his heart is.

She threw the iron spoon into the iron pan and turned to look at the empty side.

In the past, Xie Xun always stood silently and watched her cooking. The habit became natural. Now that he is not watching, she can't even cook well.

"Meow~" The little orange cat probed at the threshold, rubbing back and forth, looking at Jiang Shuao eagerly for food.

Jiang Shuyao was shocked, terrible! How could she see Xie Xun's shadow on such a cute and cute cat face? !

Thinking about Xie Xun avoiding her, Jiang Shuyao was very upset. As for why she was upset, she didn't think about it carefully.

She called the maids in and told them to take out all the ingredients they prepared and put them on the table in the yard.

The table is covered with a thick layer of wooden planks, a charcoal stove for roasting is placed on the table, and a shallow pan is set, and the roasting action is ready.

Jiang Shuyao looked up at the sky, guessing that Xie Xun should be back.

Some time ago, Xie Xun was able to come back early every day and would never miss any chance to have dinner. If you are lucky, you can also get into the small kitchen to watch Jiang Shuyao cooking, and reap today’s simple happiness, but this In a few days, he came back later and later, and he didn't even come over for dinner.

It's not that Jiang Shuya lacks him, a meal-cleaning partner, but that he lacks someone, which always feels weird.

As the sunset gradually fell, Jiang Shuyao ordered the maid to put charcoal in the furnace.

The iron pan slowly heated up, and she picked up a slice of marinated pork belly and put it on the iron plate.

"Shua -" pork sauce stained iron contact, fumes emerging moment, after a few seconds, meat overflowing.

The step of marinating grilled meat is very important. Chili sauce, soybean paste, sweet and sour wine, etc. are essential. If you like the smell of garlic, add more mashed garlic; if you like sweet and spicy flavor, you can add more sugar and sweet noodle sauce; if you like sauce, add a few spoonfuls of soy sauce and soy sauce.

The white porcelain plates are neatly placed on the table, with crimson, red-brown, sauce and other colors of pork belly on the table. It is accompanied by a large bowl with sliced ​​eggplant next to it. Obviously there are only two ingredients: meat and eggplant. Gives the illusion of abundance.

Barbecue dipping materials are divided into sauces and powders. The sauce tastes fresh and salty and slightly sweet, while the powder pays more attention to a fragrant word, mainly sesame powder and ground peanuts. The pork belly is wrapped in it, and it is nourishing with fat and oil. The pork belly is covered with dry powder, which is a satisfaction.

Jiang Shuyao used chopsticks wisely to fill the iron plate with pork belly.

The pork belly trembles under the high-temperature frying, the fat turns into oil, and the meat smells all over the courtyard.

"Meow~" The little orange cat did not know where it came from, begging for food.

Jiang Shuyao's gaze fell on it, after a short pause, he subconsciously looked at the moon cave gate.

＊

Fragrant, too fragrant.

Xie Xun smelled it, and the route he was going to enter the study directly turned a corner, and walked towards the Moon Cave Gate uncontrollably.

Why is it so fragrant? The last time Jiang's cooked lo-mei was only the smell outside the small kitchen, and it was not enough to still have a strong fragrance after more than half of the yard.

Xie Xun suddenly felt hungry and uncomfortable, and couldn't help but start spinning around.

In the past few days, he had not clarified his thoughts and did not know how to face Jiang Shuyao, so he deliberately avoided her.

He was angry that he had treated her negligently as a newlywed mother before, and he was also angry that he couldn't even think of a way to make up for it. In the past, no matter how calmly and intelligent, he hit the love, but also caught the blind in pain.

Xie Xun wished to go through all the miscellaneous books on Fengyue in the capital, and went to the bookstore every day for his deductions. Lin Cheng was so scared that he thought he was stunned, and put a little hand in his teacup from his grandfather who asked about immortality. Xie Xun chased the Fu Hui from the inside and ran around the East Palace three times.

Xie Xun had a strong idea in his heart to warn himself: Don't go to her to make trouble when you don't figure out how to face her!

It's a pity that this strong thought didn't overpower the appetite, Xie Xun quietly probed at the door of the moon cave-secretly observed.

Jiang Shuyao had been staring at the Moon Cave Gate a long time ago, and caught him in one glance.

With eyes facing each other, there was silence in the air, and Xie Xun stiffened.

"Meow!" After eating, the little orange cat passed by the moon cave gate, his ears pressed disdainfully, hehe, it was this strange two-legged beast again.

Jiang Shuyao looked at Xie Xie with a smile. Xie Xie clenched his hands behind him and walked towards her pretendingly.

"Is it worth it?" Jiang Shuyao asked.

"Yeah." Xie Xun nodded, trying to restrain his eyes from sweeping the barbecue.

"Have you had dinner?" Jiang Shuyao said, "Are you busy recently? You never catch up with dinner every time."

Why didn't he catch up? It was obviously Xie Xun who deliberately avoided her and didn't come to eat.

"No."

"Then go clean your hands and eat one piece."

Xie Xun gave up struggling, sat down opposite her after washing his hands, and said, "I guess it won't be so busy in the future."

"It just so happens that eating dinner alone is a bit boring." She turned the barbecue over.

The barbecue I just put on has been grilled, the thinly sliced ​​edges are slightly charred, and the thickly sliced ​​ones have a lot of oil.

Jiang Shuyao pushed the dish to Xie Xun: "Do you like these flavors?"

Xie Xun's Adam's apple rolled, picking up a piece of barbecue, dipping it in dry ingredients and putting it in his mouth.

The grilled meat is lightly marinated, mainly to remove fishy and increase freshness. The oily juice oozes from the meat slices, and the scorching fragrance is tangy.

The fatty meat part is crispy on the surface and melts in the mouth. The lean meat part is oily on the outside and tender inside. With the sesame noodles on the surface of the roasted meat, it is full of fragrant flavor.

Take another piece of dipping sauce. The sauce is slightly salty, which conceals the oil and gas of the pork belly. It is salty, sweet and spicy. When chewing the pork belly, the gravy and oil are also stained with sauce, which instantly awakens the taste buds.

If you don’t eat it with dipping sauce, it is also very delicious. The taste is the original meaty flavor, the blanched pork belly is burnt on the edge, and the oil is splashed when chewing. The freshness of lean meat and the oily fragrance of fatty meat will last for a long time. Scattered.

Jiang Shuyao pours on a layer of eggplant slices at the right time. The eggplant slices absorb oil. The oil is soaked up after three times and five times. The oil is soft and waxy, and the inside is like water. It melts when you bite it. It has the fragrance of eggplant and pork belly. Oily fragrance.

After eating a few mouthfuls of barbecue, you can drink another bite of the cold and sour plum soup, which is sweet and slightly sour, and relieves greasiness and heat.

Xie Xun ate happily. Since Jiang Shu got married, he has fully understood the charm of hog meat.

It's a pity that Jiang Shuyao didn't prepare much pork belly. Xie Xun had just gotten addicted to his mouth, and his plate was empty before his stomach was full.

Jiang Shuyao explained: "It's not good to eat too oily."

Xie Xun wanted to refute, but in the end he could only give an obedient "um".

Jiang Shuyao called his servants to clean up, holding a teacup containing sour plum soup, and leaving, full of oily smell, ready to go back to the house to change clothes and take a bath.

Xie Xun looked at her back, then at the messy dining table, frowning regretfully.

After eating, the courage also came up.

Xie Xun rushed back to the study, took the hairpin and ran to the east wing quickly.

It was almost at the door of the East Wing, and stopped again.

Standing at the open carved window, he happened to see Jiang Shuyao walking around looking for something in the house.

Xie Xun's mind suddenly got hot, and he stood outside the carved window and called out Jiang Shuyao.

Jiang Shuyao raised his head and looked at the door. No one was found. He was puzzled. Xie Xun said again, "Come here."

She looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw Xie Xun standing outside the carved window with a sullen face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Is there something?" Jiang Shuyao was confused and walked over and said, "If you have something, come in and talk."

"No need." Xie Xun's voice was tense.

He didn't dare to look at Jiang Shuyao, his eyes fell on her head: "After we won the Dragon Boat Festival, we were rewarded by the Holy Spirit, do you remember?"

Jiang Shuya nodded.

"Concubine Lin also rewarded some."

This Jiang Shuyao didn't know, she asked, "So what?"

"Well." Xie Xun pursed his lips, "Well, she said that the saint has rewarded us, and she will reward our family members." Xie Xie strives to seek truth from facts, not letting go of any detail.

Jiang Shuyao listened for a long time and couldn't wait for the key point. Liu eyebrows were erected: "Then?"

"Then she rewarded me with a golden hairpin. No, she should have rewarded you with a golden hairpin. She rewarded you in the name of rewarding my wife, and she is your aunt, and giving you jewelry is not for my face. On, it has nothing to do with me to be precise, but because I am the winner—"

"Say, heavy, point!" Jiang Shuyao gritted his teeth and couldn't bear to interrupt him.

What about the well-spoken kaolin flower? Who is tuberculosis if there is no important point in the speech in front of you?

Xie Xun was interrupted by her, his face tightened even more, and his cold facial features became even more alienated, as if he was angry.

There was a half-person-high flower stand in front of the window with delicate and beautiful vases on it. Xie Xun suddenly reached in and quickly put something on the flower stand.

Jiang Shuyao became even more confused, looking at the flower stand, he saw a delicate hairpin box.

Although she didn't understand what Xie Xun was crazy about, she still knew that it was a golden hairpin gifted by Concubine Lin.

He picked it up heavily, and opened the box of hairpins, only to see a gorgeous and complicated double lotus gold hairpin lying inside, exquisitely crafted and shining.

She raised her head to look at Xie Xun, but before she saw his face, Xie Xun suddenly closed the window with a "slap".

Jiang Shuyao looked dull.

The sunset rays are soft, and Xie Xun's figure is illuminated on the window paper, creating a warm shadow.

"That's it." Through the window, his voice was not as clear as before.

Jiang Shuyao picked up the golden hairpin and stared at Biandilian on the hairpin's head for two seconds, and then realized the meaning of Biandilian.

Wait... So Xie Xun is shy?

She walked to the carved window and tried to open the window, but found that Xie Xun was desperately pressing the window to prevent her from opening it.

"You--" Jiang Shuyao worked hard, but couldn't match Xie Xun

baffling!

She was angry, confused and funny: "Xie Boyuan! What are you doing!"

"It's nothing." Xie Xie's voice sounded annoyingly, "I will give you the chaizi."

Finally added stiffly: "Concubine Lin gave it to you."

The voice fell, and the force pressing the carved window disappeared.

Jiang Shuyao pushed the window open all of a sudden, and the people outside the window disappeared early.

She stood silently in front of the window, holding the hairpin box in her hand, and uttered a dumbfounded sentence: "As for what."

She looked down at the golden hairpin, and Dilian, the husband and wife are loving, and they have been together for a hundred years, and they will always be together.

Her heart was itchy inexplicably, she suddenly regained consciousness, her cheeks were hot, and she closed the window with a "pop".
