Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

Since the morning food stall opened, Jiang Shuyao has been idle. Some time ago, he was busy thinking about eating and adjusting his taste, so he could not be idle all day. Now that I am free, I don't have much to do every day except to give pointers to Zhou.

When he was busy, he didn't care about Xie Xun. Now when he was free, he realized that he didn't seem to be right.

For example, I can’t fall asleep in the middle of the night, every day I watch her hesitate to talk, and eating is not as fragrant as before.

Of course, the main reason why Jiang Shuyao noticed that something was wrong with him was the last point.

Today, he finished his dinner in a gloomy manner, put his chopsticks down, and stared at the empty bowl in a daze.

Jiang Shuyao saw him doing this for a few days, and he didn't get better, so he tentatively said, "What's wrong with you recently?"

Xie Xun looked up with a very confused expression, and asked, "What?"

What can Jiang Shuyao say, he can't always say, "I think your food intake has decreased in the past few days. Although it is still more than ordinary people, it is always not quite right."

So she had to say: "I think you have something on your mind."

Xie Xun pondered for a while, a little confused: "No."

Okay, Jiang Shuyao shut up. Perhaps it's just that he hasn't grown physically recently and his appetite has also decreased.

In the evening, the two of them were ready to turn off the lights and go to bed after bathing and changing clothes.

The two lay on the bed, Xie Xun stretched out his hand silently, tentatively holding her hand as usual.

Jiang Shuya thought of his recent depression, so he gently squeezed his fingertips back to comfort him.

It was this action that made Xie Xun impulsive and grieved: "I don't want to be separated from you."

Jiang Shuyao was dazed, suddenly sober: "What?"

"The saint sent the prince to thoroughly investigate the corrupt officials and sit in the town to supervise the reinforcement of the river embankment, and we all will follow." Xie Xun said.

Jiang Shu was in a daze. It turned out that he was worried about this these few days. Isn't it just leaving Beijing to do business, she was shocked by saying separation.

She felt soft, and gently rubbed the back of Xie Xun's hand with her fingers to comfort him.

Although he is not yet weak, he is already a scholar-official who is concerned about the country and the people.

"I believe you can do it well." She didn't understand this, and she would inevitably look pale when she said comforting words, just expressing her support for Xie Xun.

Xie Xie was rubbed against the back of her hand, like a cat with its neck licked, and squinted in comfort. Hearing her words, it took a long time to react: "What?" He explained in the mist, " We have been investigating this matter for more than a month and we have all the evidence. We only need to immediately convict the corrupt officials and imprison them, and then supervise the construction and reinforcement of the river embankment."

Jiang Shuyao was taken aback: "Then why are you so worried these few days?"

Speaking of this, Xie Xun was worried: "I don't know how long this trip will take. According to common sense, I am afraid that I will not see you for half a month. And it is not appropriate to deal with this kind of official business and bring family members. You and I will be separated ."

Jiang Shuyao was a little speechless.

"This is what you worry about these past few days?"

Xie Xun said "Yes", his voice was a bit wronged: "I used to go to Beijing to work with the prince, and I didn't feel that it was too uncomfortable. Now that I have married a wife, my mood has changed." He thought about the days before. , Sighed, "Nowadays, you can eat delicious food every day. If you don't eat well or sleep well over there, you feel uncomfortable."

Jiang Shuyao silently retracted his hand and put it back in his quilt.

Xie Xun stared at the bed sheet and said, "I will leave the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyao let out an "um".

Xie Xun is not the kind of person who knows what to say about love, Jiang Shuyao, he doesn't know what to say.

After a while, when Jiang Shuyao thought he was asleep, he added: "I will be back as soon as possible."

"it is good."

After a while, Xie Xun heard Jiang Shuyao's gentle breathing and was a little discouraged. It turned out that he was the only one who was unwilling to give up. Maybe she didn't take it to heart.

But if you think about it carefully, whether you are there or not has no effect on her. She and her second sister-in-law thought about food every day and discussed business with her mother-in-law. With him, she just had to make an extra lunch and dinner.

Thinking this way, Xie Xun was even more discouraged.

He reached out his hand to tap the pendant hanging on the bed curtain and pressed the corner of his mouth, very uncomfortable.

The next day, Xie Xun carried the food box as usual, and when it was time for lunch, he ate listlessly.

This appearance made the colleagues gloat for a while. In the past, Xie Xun was so fragrant, they could only watch, but now when going to Beijing to do business, everyone has to eat steamed buns together.

Since tomorrow is about to leave, it is worth early for everyone to go.

Xie Xun hurried back to the house, wanting to stay with Jiang Shu for a while, smelling a burst of aroma as soon as he entered the yard.

It is estimated that he is thinking about eating for Lin's market.

Xie Xun stepped into the small kitchen and stood by the door watching her cooking.

When Jiang Shuya heard the movement, he turned around and found Xie Xun standing there, a little surprised: "I came back so early today?"

"Yes, I have to come back early to pack up, keep up my energy, and hurry on tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyao nodded: "It just so happened that I forgot to ask you yesterday, what do you usually eat there?"

Inspecting the river embankment is a chore, and this matter is of great importance, no one pays attention to food, otherwise it is just waiting to be ginsenged in a copy. If the situation is bad, it is possible to skip meals all day. Usually it is to carry the buns by yourself, or wait for the local officials to send a basket of hot steamed buns. In short, it is impossible to eat well.

"Bun or steamed buns."

Jiang Shuyao nodded and smiled: "I got it right."

Xie Xun didn't understand why she was smiling, and he was puzzled.

Jiang Shuyao explained: "I think you can only deal with it casually if you go to eat there. If it is only a few days, it will be okay, ten days and a half months, I am afraid you will be difficult."

Hearing what she cared about, Xie Xun immediately felt relieved, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "No, it's just a little uncomfortable. I used to go to Beijing to work with the prince, and I spent more than a month of dry bread."

Jiang Shuyao smiled and hooked at him, Xie Xun didn't quite understand, but he still leaned in.

She raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder: "You are my husband, how can I make you suffer from eating."

Her words made Xie Xun’s ears hot, and her heart was warm, but she still declined her kindness: “This trip is simple and easy. You can’t bring too many things. You don’t need food containers anymore, and the time is long. It will spoil if you eat."

"I understand naturally, so I don't plan to let you bring a food box." Jiang Shuyao pointed to the small cans placed on the desk. "Although the bibimbap sauce is not delicious, it is rougher than usual meals, but At least you can bring it and eat it with steamed buns. At that time, you can bring a few bamboo tubes and fill them with sauce. When you eat steamed buns, you can spread it with sauce."

This is the first time Xie Xun has heard this saying: "Bibimbap?"

Jiang Shuyao explained: "It is the sauce that can be used for bibimbap and noodles. This is mayonnaise, this is crab sauce, and this is mushroom sauce. Now we are going to boil minced meat sauce."

While she was talking, she opened the saucepan, which was filled with brown-red thick sauce.

A strong scent of sauce came out, Jiang Shuya poured the freshly fried minced meat into the sauce pan, stirring constantly with a spatula.

The sauce is extremely thick and shiny, and it takes a little effort to stir it with a spatula to ensure that it is evenly stirred. In order to prevent the pot from sticking, stirring constantly, the sauce becomes thicker and thicker, making a thick and thick sound.

The whole room was filled with a strong scent of sauce, fresh and salty. Since the spice powders such as grass fruit, angelica dahurica, ginger, cinnamon, etc. are added when the sauce is boiled, it also has a rich medicinal and aniseed aroma.

Finally, pour in the red oil. The bright and translucent red oil is mixed with the brown-red minced meat sauce to give it a bright color and a hint of red oil in the sauce.

Jiang Shuyao took a spoon and gave Xie Xunjiao a little, and gave it to him to taste it: "Try the taste, eat less, it's a bit salty."

Xie Xun took the spoon and tasted a little minced meat sauce with the tip of his tongue.

It's not salty at all. The first taste of the tip of the tongue is fresh, and then a strong sauce scent spreads in the mouth. Various spices make the sauce lingering and rich, with a hint of spicy, spicy aroma After that, only the sweetness that blended with the sauce was left.

He put all the sauce in the spoon into his mouth. The minced meat sauce is still hot, and the fragrant and spicy taste is even worse. The minced meat is finely chopped, and it is fat and thin. It has a plump, soft and tender taste with lean meat. Really chewy texture. No wonder it is called bibimbap. If it is dressed up with hot rice noodles, you won't get tired of eating a large bowl.

Xie Xun's gaze fell on the jar on the desk, and Jiang Shuyao saw it and said, "Do you want to try?"

Xie Xun shook his head quickly: "No, try again tomorrow." Now, after trying in one breath, there is no sense of surprise.

After Jiang Shuyao cleaned up here, looking at the hourglass time was almost up, he went to the yard to take out the toast baked in the earthen kiln.

As soon as I uncovered the outer wooden boards, a rich milky scent emerged. The toast is square, and a delicate brown skin is baked on the outside, which looks soft and sweet.

Jiang Shuyao said to Xie Xun: "I'll prepare some sandwiches for you. You can eat them on the road. They are not as dry as steamed buns. But they tend to dry out, so you'd better eat them tomorrow."

Xie Xun didn't expect that she would prepare so much food for him, so he was a little at a loss, so he felt even more reluctant.

Before dawn the next day, Xie Xun got up early to set off.

He woke up lightly to change clothes. He didn't expect Jiang Shuyao to wake up. She looked at the darkness outside and sighed, "Are you leaving so early?"

Xie Xun saw her waking up a little guilty, and said, "Yes, go to bed, it's still early."

Jiang Shuyao looked at him like this, and finally felt a little bit about to leave. Her heart surged. She lifted the quilt and said, "I can't sleep anymore. I'll send you out of the house."

Xie Xun coaxed her to go to sleep, but Jiang Shu was uncomfortable and got up to freshen up and dress.

It was meant to send him out of the palace, but after leaving the palace, Jiang Shuyao still reluctantly wanted to send him to the palace gate.

Xie Xun couldn't, but could only follow her. Fortunately, he got up early today, and there was no time to ride a carriage.

But the carriage would still be slower. After arriving at the gate of the palace, the colleagues were already at odds and ends.

Seeing Xie Xun leaning out of the carriage with only a small package, everyone was inexplicably relieved. I always feel that even in this situation, Xie Xun's wife can take care of Xie Xun's food. Fortunately, fortunately, they are thinking too much.

After taking a nostalgic look into the carriage, Xie Xun ordered the coachman to drive the carriage back home and prepare to get off the carriage.

The coachman was waiting to swing the whip, the curtain was lifted, Jiang Shuyao leaned out half of his body and grabbed Xie Xun.

See no evil, but everyone looked over curiously.

What happened early in the morning? So sour.

She whispered: "Remember to take care of yourself, eat well, and don't get busy and starve yourself."

"I know, don't worry." Xie Xun nodded, "I have the bibimbap sauce and sandwiches you prepared for me."

Everyone: ...It seems that the conclusion just now was too early, oooooo.
