Chapter 187 Why is there crying?
Shen Mansion
Zhou Ying picked up the teacup and took a sip: "There have been too many people coming to the food court these past two days, so we have started limiting the flow of people."
Chen Huazheng: “If the flow of people is still that large, we can start implementing a reservation system.
The trial operation of the food street some time ago was very successful and was sought after by dignitaries in the capital. Even ordinary people who were not short of money came here one after another.
Every day, a large group of people flock to the food street. As long as the number of people exceeds a certain amount, the food street will start to limit the flow of people and implement a reservation system.
Shen Huazheng and others had anticipated this situation before the food court opened for business, and they had discussed several options.
In the end, I still think that the current limiting solution is the most reliable.
Princess Lejia took a piece of walnut and yam cake and took a bite: "Fortunately, you have already guessed this situation and thought of a countermeasure, otherwise there might be problems."
During festivals, or when the capital city holds lantern festivals, gatherings or other events that are likely to attract crowds, the imperial court will send officers and soldiers to patrol the area.
The concern is that there will be a stampede or other uncontrollable situations due to excessive flow of people.
If there are too many customers in the food court, problems can easily arise.
Fortunately, Zheng Zheng and A Ying are both very smart. They thought of the problems in advance and came up with solutions to the problems.
Doing business with them is worry-free.
Hehehe~~
Princess Lejia was eating pastries when she suddenly thought of something.
She looked at Chen Huazheng: "By the way, Zhengzheng, is this the first time you're delivering lunch to the Imperial College today?"
Chen Huazheng nodded: "Yes, from today on, the food street will officially cooperate with the Imperial College."
Princess Lejia was a little curious: "What kind of food was sent to the Imperial College today?"
Before Shen Huazheng could speak, Zhou Ying put on a mysterious look.
"Today at noon, we will eat the same food as the teachers and students in the Imperial College. You will know when we have lunch later."
Princess Lejia: (.)
…
In the Imperial College cafeteria, a group of students lined up in a long queue waiting to get their lunch.
They all had smiles on their faces and were full of excitement.
"I'm so excited. I've been waiting for so long, and finally this day has come."
"Ahhh, I never thought that one day we would be able to eat the food prepared by the Lady of Yinghua County herself in the dining hall. This was something we never dared to think about before!!!"
"Me too. I've been counting the days these days. I was so happy last night that I didn't sleep well. I didn't even eat a few bites of breakfast. I was only thinking about lunch. Now I'm starving."
"What do you think we are eating today?"
"I guess it's duck blood vermicelli soup. I saw Shen Kesi and the others eat it before. It smelled delicious."
"It could be rice with pork ribs, or chicken, pork or something like that."
"I think it's possible that it was noodles, or it could be steamed buns. If it was steamed buns, I don't know what the filling was. After trying the crab roe soup dumplings at the food court that day, I've never forgotten the taste. It was so delicious."
"Stop talking. I'm getting hungrier. Everything sounds delicious."
"I can eat anything. Nothing that County Lady Yinghua makes or thinks up is bad."
"Yes, County Lady Yinghua's craftsmanship and ingenuity are indeed beyond reproach."
"Stop talking, window number one is open, and it's time to start serving food."
"Window number two and three are also open!!!"
"Hurry, hurry, everyone line up!!"
…
Shen's Kitchen
Chen Huazheng lit a pot and poured a proper amount of oil into it. When the oil became boiling hot, she added the green and white scallions chopped into small pieces. Then she took the long chopsticks handed to her by Qingzhi and stirred it continuously.
Princess Lejia stood aside, staring at the pot of hot scallion oil without blinking. "Zhengzheng, what are you going to do?"
"Make scallion oil sauce. We're going to have scallion oil noodles today."
Under the high temperature, the tender green onions in the pot gradually turned light brown, with a slight burnt aroma. Shen Huazheng took out the onion segments, then poured soy sauce, salt, sugar, vinegar and other seasonings into the pot one by one, slowly stirring with the long chopsticks in her hand until the sauce was absorbed.
The aroma of the scallion oil sauce was so tempting that everyone in the kitchen was drooling.
Shen Huazheng scooped out the scallion oil sauce and put it aside for later use.
As early as when she was making the scallion oil sauce, Zhou Ying rolled the dough into a large round piece, picked up one side of the round piece and folded it back and forth to form a dough sheet, and then used a knife to cut the dough into thin noodles.
Chen Huazheng lit a pot, poured in water and brought it to a boil.
After the water in the pot boiled, she grabbed a handful of the noodles made by Zhou Ying and put them into the pot.
As soon as the noodles were cooked, Shen Huazheng scooped them up and rinsed them in cold water so that they would be chewier.
Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying were watching eagerly on the side. They saw Shen Huazheng put the noodles into a bowl, poured the sauce on it, and sprinkled some chopped green onions that the cook had just chopped. The scallion oil noodles were ready.
…
The Shen family did not send food to the Imperial College today. Shen Kesi, Shen Keheng, Xue Cong, and Song Ye all rushed to the cafeteria as soon as the get out of class was over.
Even so, they didn't catch up with the first batch and could only wait in line at the back.
Today's lunch is noodles with scallion oil and meatball soup. The cafeteria is filled with tempting aromas, making everyone's stomachs salivate.
The students who had already received their lunch were quietly savoring the delicious food in front of them, while those who were still waiting in line could only swallow their saliva while waiting anxiously.
Those students who were still queuing and had not yet had their lunch, saw their classmates eating in such a ferocious manner, and instantly realized how delicious the food was.
They only regretted that they did not rush over as soon as the get out of class was over and were one step behind others.
Fortunately, I have already lined up, so whether I eat early or late, I will be able to have lunch soon.
Even though these students standing in line were trying to comfort themselves in their hearts, the aroma of scallion oil continued to waft towards them and penetrated into their bodies regardless, making every cell in their bodies clamor for it.
I want to eat scallion oil noodles immediately!!
Please, the lunch chef, please be quick. The child is about to faint from hunger.
After Mo Zhishan and his companions finished their work, they hurried to the cafeteria.
As I reached the door, I suddenly heard a cry from inside.
If you listen carefully, you may hear some faint sobbing.
Mo Zhishan paused, his face solemn.
Could it be that there was something wrong with today's lunch? Otherwise, why would there be crying sounds coming from the cafeteria? ?
The other people had the same idea as Mo Zhishan. They looked at each other and quickened their pace to walk into the cafeteria.
As soon as I walked into the dining hall, the crying sound started again——
"Wow, this is so delicious!! I have never eaten such delicious food, especially in the Imperial College dining hall."
Mo Zhishan and his companions paused and looked at each other.
The students cried because the food was so delicious? ?
"I feel like I'm dreaming right now. I'm worried that I'll wake up if I'm not careful. Wuuwuwu~~"
Shen Keheng and others looked over in the direction of the voice, and saw a burly student eating noodles with scallion oil while wiping tears.
Some people had red eyes and carefully put the food in front of them into their mouths.
He started sobbing before he had taken a few bites.
That situation was really...
It's an eyesore!
Chen Keheng turned his head away with some disgust. The food made by Zheng'er was indeed delicious, but there was no need to cry like this.
How shameful.
When Wei Zeduo smelled the aroma of the scallion oil noodles, his eyes became hot and he almost started crying.
It’s not easy, it’s really not easy.
God knows how he managed to get through it.
…
Princess Lejia picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodles and sauce in the bowl evenly.
Zhou Ying also stirred the noodles in the bowl, then picked up a handful of noodles with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
The noodles were cooked to perfection and were chewy. Each noodle was well-coated with sauce, smooth and delicate, soft yet slightly tough.
As you chew, the aroma of scallion oil mixed with the flavor of noodles fills your entire mouth, instantly immersing you in a world of deliciousness.
Zhou Ying: "The scallion oil noodles are so delicious!!"
Princess Lejia ate noodles and nodded in agreement with vague "wuwu".
The noodles covered with sauce are smooth and distinct, and the chopped green onions dotted on top are fresh and delicious. The green onion segments are fried, and the mixture of the two is just the right amount of light and thick, and it doesn't taste greasy at all.
It's so delicious!!
I didn’t expect that scallion oil noodles with such simple ingredients could be so delicious.
Shen Huazheng also picked up the chopsticks and started eating the noodles in her bowl.
The noodles were neither too thick nor too thin, cut just right, the thin round noodles she liked.
Take a bite and you can taste the aroma of onion, noodles, oil, slight spiciness and sweetness, smoothness, elasticity, and chewiness... all kinds of textures repeatedly impact your taste buds.
The various distinct flavors and textures of the noodles blend perfectly together to create an amazing satisfaction.
It is so delicious that you can't help but eat it bite by bite and can't stop.
Princess Lejia finished half a bowl of scallion oil noodles in one breath, then raised her head and said, "Zhengzheng, Aying, the autumn hunt will start in two days, you should go, right?"
Almost every year at this time, Emperor Jingning would go to Shanglin Paddock for autumn hunting.
Civil and military officials would follow, as would the noble families of status in the capital.
Princess Lejia would definitely follow to the enclosure, but she was not sure whether Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying would follow.
Chen Huazheng nodded: "I heard from my father that His Majesty specifically asked our whole family to go."
Of course, even if Emperor Jingning didn't mention it by name, she would still go and see what the royal hunting ground was like.
Zhou Ying also said: "I will go too, it's a good opportunity to test whether my archery skills have deteriorated."
Since marrying Song Zhichen, she has never participated in the autumn hunt again.
She was determined to participate this time to see if she could hunt a fox and make some aprons for her family.
"Great, then the three of us can go hunting together!"
Princess Lejia was extremely happy, as this was her first time hunting with her friends at Shanglin Hunting Ground.
Chen Huazheng: "...Aning, I don't know how to hunt."
Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia then remembered that Shen Huazheng was not good at riding and shooting, and had never been to the paddock before.
Princess Lejia hastily changed her words: "It's okay, Zhengzheng. In fact, many people who go to the enclosure don't hunt, they just go to join in the fun. I usually just go to try my luck. If I'm lucky, I can hunt a rabbit or a pheasant, but if I'm unlucky, I get nothing."
Zhou Ying: "Zheng'er, just think of it as a trip. No matter what I hunt, I will share my prey with you."
Princess Lejia: "And me, and me too. Zhengzheng, I will share the prey with you."
Although there is a good chance that she won't even catch a rabbit.
"Okay, I'll wait for you then."
Shen Huazheng smiled, as if she had already seen all kinds of delicious food waving at her.
Great, I can eat as much game as I want this time!!
You need to bring more sauces and tools, as well as various seasonings.
…
Mo Zhishan and his group smelled the rich aroma of onions in the air and looked at the noodles in the bowl.
The noodles are smooth, evenly thick, and not clumpy at all.
The chopped and sliced scallions that garnish the noodles are green on one side and brown on the other, and the sauce slowly seeps down from the top of the noodles.
As if it had been carefully calculated, the sauce in the bowl was just enough to evenly coat each noodle, which looked very tempting.
Everyone couldn't bear it any longer, so they picked up their chopsticks, quickly mixed the noodles and the sauce, and started eating.
He picked up a small handful of noodles with chopsticks and slurped it into his mouth. Everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
The noodles are not soft at all, but very chewy. After absorbing the sauce, they are even more fresh and fragrant. They are not too greasy or choking to eat.
The aroma of onion, oil and flour mixed together, various tastes surged out, domineeringly invading every corner of the mouth.
This is so delicious!!!
Mo Zhishan narrowed his eyes slightly and chewed the noodles in his mouth with enjoyment.
As the noodles enter your mouth, the rich sauce wraps them in a complex aroma that bursts out on the tip of your tongue along with the aroma of the noodles, and then sweeps across your entire mouth.
If you savor it carefully, the aroma of noodles and scallion oil are intertwined in your mouth, fragrant but not greasy, refreshing with a hint of spiciness and a slight sweetness.
Eating a few mouthfuls of noodles with scallion oil and then drinking a sip of meatball soup is simply a treat.
The meatballs made from fresh pork are tender and smooth, and the soup base is refreshing and natural.
The mouthfeel is full and the taste is excellent, it is simply amazing.
Li Siye and others suddenly understood the inexplicable behavior of the students just now, because as they were eating, they also felt the urge to cry.
Woohoo, if it weren't for Mo Jijiu, how could they have eaten such delicious food in the dining hall of the Imperial College? ?
Mo Jijiu is indeed a good leader who is dedicated to the welfare of his subordinates and shows love! !
From now on they will definitely treat Mo Jijiu as their own elder.
When Mo Zhishan raised his head, he saw Li Siye and the others were staring at him, with an inexplicable light flashing in their eyes.
It looks weird and scary no matter how you look at it.
Mo Zhishan immediately lowered his head and continued eating, ignoring them as if they were air.
Li Siye et al.: `(*＞﹏＜*)'
Mo Jijiu does good deeds without leaving his name and does not want others to pay too much attention to him.
