Chapter 497: Tasting delicious food according to the season
Xiangyang and his friends caught a lot of snails. In addition to stir-fried snails with sauce, Chen Huazheng also made a dish of stir-fried snails with leeks.
With baked potatoes, baked cakes and fish soup, lunch was quite sumptuous.
Everyone was delighted to see so many delicious foods.
I didn’t expect that there are other ways to cook snails besides snail noodles.
The several guards sent by Emperor Jingning have already made up their minds that if there is a chance to go on official business with Shen Huazheng in the future, they will try their best to get it.
Such a good job cannot be snatched away by others.
The friends from Sinong Temple and the Ministry of Works were also very happy.
It is a blessing to follow Lord Shen. Not only can I learn things, but I can also enjoy all kinds of delicious food.
Zhou Ying picked up a fried snail with chopsticks, brought it to her mouth and sucked it gently.
The plump and tender snail meat wrapped in rich and mellow sauce falls into your mouth. After chewing it, the delicious taste of the snail along with the strong aroma of spices gradually jumps to the tip of your tongue, and then spreads between your lips and teeth.
Chen Huazheng also ate the snails with great relish. The snail meat was very chewy, tender and juicy.
The rich and spicy taste explodes in your mouth along with the crisp texture of the snail meat, with a hint of sweetness.
As you chew, the fresh fragrance spreads between your lips and teeth, as if you have tasted all the deliciousness of the entire spring.
Princess Lejia: "This fried snail with leeks is delicious. The taste of the combination is wonderful."
She usually likes food related to leeks, strictly speaking, it should be food stuffed with leeks.
For example, leek dumplings, leek rice rolls, leek buns...
Anyway, Princess Lejia loves any food that is stuffed with leeks.
But she never imagined that leeks could be fried with snails.
Although this dish of fried snails with leeks is completely beyond Princess Lejia's cognition, as a "leek lover" and Shen Huazheng's number one fan, she must try how this dish tastes.
After taking a bite, Princess Lejia was immediately amazed.
Fresh, so fresh!!!
No wonder Zheng Zheng always says that cooking should be “fresher than fresh”, so this is what she means.
These leeks are spring leeks, and together with the snails that have just ended their hibernation, they are both “fresh products” of spring.
During the cooking process, the aroma of leeks balances the slight fishy smell of snails.
The freshness and tenderness of leeks and the tenderness and crispness of snail meat are combined together, blending the freshness and fragrance and complementing each other.
If you savor it carefully, the delicious taste will spread from the tip of your tongue to your whole body.
Your lips and teeth are filled with nature's spring gifts.
It makes people eat one mouthful after another and they simply can't stop.
Shen Huazheng swallowed the snail meat in her mouth with satisfaction and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Really delicious~~
The flavor is rich, fresh, sweet and crispy.
No wonder people say that “snails during Qingming Festival are as fat as geese”, they are indeed plump and delicious.
Ingredients change with the times, and so should flavors.
Nature is indeed the most punctual and generous gift giver. If you taste delicious food in accordance with the four seasons, you will definitely not make any mistakes.
Thinking about the ingredients and flavors that change with the seasons, Shen Huazheng suddenly realized that Qingming Festival was approaching.
Like other seasons, Qingming Festival also has its own delicacies.
We are about to return to the capital, and it is time to prepare the delicious food for Qingming Festival.
【During Qingming Festival, we must eat Pu Zi fruit and Cha Guo. 】
Princess Lejia blinked. What did Zhengzheng say?
Zhou Ying paused while picking up the chopsticks. Was Zheng'er planning food for Qingming Festival? ?
Pu Zi Guo and Cha Guo sound like the names of snacks.
I can’t tell what Pu Zi Guo is made of, but Cha Guo should be related to tea.
Maybe a dessert made from tea leaves?
[Well, we also need to prepare mugwort rice cakes and chicken shit vine cakes. ]
Princess Lejia: (╯▔皿▔)╯
Chicken...chicken shit!!
Is it the kind of chicken shit she thinks?
Zheng Zheng actually wants to use chicken droppings as food? ?
Is that thing really edible?
Zhou Ying was not as excited as Princess Lejia. She thought of a kind of leaf that Chen Huazheng had asked someone to collect before, which was called chicken shit vine.
The chicken shit vine cake should be made from that kind of leaves.
Chen Huazheng had no idea what Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying were thinking, and she enjoyed her meal very much.
Others also enjoyed the meal, as they found that snails are a very versatile ingredient.
It tastes good no matter how you cook it.
It is delicious whether it is made into snail noodles, stir-fried with sauce, or stir-fried with leeks.
They unexpectedly discovered that snails go well with potatoes and scallion pancakes, and they are so delicious when eaten together.
The baked potatoes are crispy and chewy on the outside, soft and tasty on the inside, and the snails are tender and plump.
These two kinds of food are usually completely unrelated, but when they are combined together, they have a unique flavor.
Each bite is full of layers of flavor, and each sip has a pleasant sweetness.
It is the ultimate taste.
The scallion oil pancake is baked to a fragrant taste. When you take a bite, the outer skin is crispy and crumbly, while the inside is soft and chewy.
Chewing it carefully, the aroma of onion and wheat intertwines and spreads between your lips and teeth.
Take a bite of the sesame cake and then a bite of the snail meat, and you will be overwhelmed by the delicious taste.
Crispy, soft, tender, springy...
Various wonderful flavors are intertwined together, and finally transform into intoxicating sweetness between lips and teeth.
The ethereal and delicious taste makes people feel like they are floating in the air. They even feel as if their whole body has become lighter and is enveloped by a full feeling of happiness.
Ahhh, this is so delicious!!!
While eating, Lord Zhan glanced at Lord Zuo who was sitting next to him and sighed in his heart.
Alas, some people just can’t gain weight no matter how much they eat.
It is indeed very happy to follow Lord Shen, but it is not completely free of worries.
After eating so much, he seemed to have become a lot rounder.
I'll have to control my weight a little when I get back.
You need to control your food intake and put exercise on your agenda.
However, that will happen after I return to the capital.
Of course that's impossible now.
The delicious food in front of you is impossible to miss.
You have to know that Lord Shen’s cooking skills are not available anytime and anywhere. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again.
Lord Zhan chewed the snail meat in his mouth, feeling the wonderful taste blooming on the tip of his tongue.
Let him indulge himself for two more days.
Two days... well, I shouldn't gain much weight.
*
I don’t know whether Emperor Jingning did it on purpose or the investigators accidentally leaked the news.
After Ning Yugang brought Jiang Ran back to the capital, the well-informed people in the wealthy families heard about one thing -
Jiang Jinrong's youngest son committed a crime and was brought here from the northwest.
This news came like a bolt from the blue, causing a lot of discussion among the public.
"Have you heard? Jiang Jinrong's son is in trouble."
"Which son? Didn't he already have an older son who was dismissed from office?"
"The youngest son was the one who was born outside and later brought into the Jiang family."
"Tsk tsk, Jiang Jinrong is having a bad year. Three people from his family have been imprisoned."
"Yes, yes, I heard that too. It was Lord Ning from the Dali Temple who went to the northwest in person and brought the person back."
"Is this true? Didn't I hear that Jiang Jinrong sent his youngest son to study abroad? What did he do wrong? Even Lord Ning was dispatched."
"I heard that someone was killed over there, and it wasn't just an ordinary murder. That's why Lord Ning personally came out to bring the person back."
"Oh my God, could he have killed his classmates?"
"I'm not sure about this, but it should be quite serious. Otherwise, Lord Ning wouldn't go and arrest people personally."
"I thought so too. I heard that this man is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple. The case will be tried by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple together."
"Is it that serious? Did he massacre the entire academy?"
"It shouldn't have happened in the academy, because the man was caught in the northwest. He must have gone to the northwest to cause trouble."
"I'm not very clear about the details, but I heard that this case also involves doping."
"What kind of banned drugs does Daliang have? I've never heard of them."
"That was a drug that was strictly banned during the reign of the previous emperor. A major incident occurred because of that drug. The previous emperor not only banned the drug, but also had the incident covered up."
"No wonder, I didn't have any impression of it at all."
"Jiang Jinrong's youngest son is so powerful, how could he find banned drugs? This matter could not be related to Jiang Jinrong, right?"
"I think it's unlikely. Jiang Jinrong is such a coward. At most he has a few mistresses outside. He probably doesn't have the guts to use drugs."
"Jiang Jinrong's son has the guts, but he, as his father, doesn't have the guts?"
"This is not a question of courage. Although Jiang Jinrong has a bad character and no future, he is lucky. Just because he is the son of Princess Yi'an, as long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous in this life, he can always be a rich and idle person. If Jiang Jinrong had any brains, he would not get involved in these things."
"Why are you in such a hurry? There's nothing to argue about. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are investigating the case. We'll know the result when it comes out."
"That's true. But I think that even if the final result is not related to Jiang Jinrong, he will probably be implicated."
"I also think that they mixed in the drug that the late emperor had personally banned. What good can come of it?"
"Jiang Jinrong's children are all very noisy. Last time, it was his daughter who drugged the Ningyang Marquis's son and implicated his eldest son as well."
"Yes, wasn't it because of that that his eldest son was dismissed from office?"
"Including Jiang Jinrong's youngest son, three members of his family have been imprisoned. And they are all the mother and her two children at the back."
"It's true. Now that family is completely wiped out."
"Ever since Princess Lejia was adopted out, that family has been like possessed by some evil spirit. They don't want to live a good life anymore, but insist on making trouble for no reason. In the end, they also made trouble for themselves."
"It's okay to torment themselves, but the key is that they will also cause trouble for others."
"It's all Jiang Jinrong's fault for keeping a mistress. Who can he blame?"
"Come to think of it, Jiang Jinrong chose that person himself, and he also gave birth to the siblings. Even if Jiang Jinrong was implicated, he can't blame others."
"If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. If the parents are not good, what kind of virtue can the children develop?"
"His children are really not very smart."
"That's not true. Princess Lejia is very smart. Not only is she treated as a treasure by Princess Yi'an and Marquis Wenxin, but she is also very much loved by the royal family. Now she is so successful in business cooperation. How can someone who is not smart do this?"
"That's right. Jiang Jinrong gave birth to so many children, but Princess Lejia is the only smart one. The others seem to have been reborn without any brains."
"Jiang Jinrong's two eldest sons can't see clearly either. Alas, the whole family is confused. Only Princess Lejia is a normal person."
"Princess Lejia and his family have always been at odds with each other, and later she was adopted out. They have been separated for a long time."
"I think it was Princess Lejia who brought prosperity to his family before, but now that the princess has just been adopted out, they have been in trouble one after another."
"A blessed person does not enter a house without blessings. The princess is a blessed person."
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
Not long after, the news that Jiang Ran had committed a crime and was imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison spread in the circle.
Jiang Jinrong was so worried about Jiang Ran that he couldn't eat or sleep.
In order to meet Jiang Ran, Jiang Jinrong thought of many ways and even asked Wen Xinhou for help.
But now that the case is at a critical stage, family members of all those involved are not allowed to visit.
Ning Yu didn't say anything definite, but just asked the Jiang family to wait.
Jiang Jinrong had no choice but to worry.
Jiang Can is still the same, always immersed in his own world, in a daze.
It seemed that everything that happened at home had nothing to do with him and he was unwilling to pay any attention to it.
Inside and outside the Jiang Mansion, only Jiang Huai looked relatively normal.
But in fact, Jianghuai itself is not having an easy time either.
When on duty every day, Jiang Huai could always keenly sense all kinds of subtle and strange gazes in the government office.
Of course he knew why those looks came from, and he also knew what others were saying about him and his family in private.
But Jiang Huai could do nothing and could only pretend nothing had happened.
Handle various affairs as usual and adjust values as usual.
Not only that, every day when he returned home and saw Jiang Jinrong looking sad, Jiang Huai had to go up to him and comfort him.
Only Jiang Huai himself knew that his emotions had reached a critical point and were about to explode.
Although he held it back, any small thing could become the last straw that broke the camel's back and cause him to lose control of his emotions.
Jiang Huai, like Jiang Jinrong, didn't understand why Jiang Ran did those things.
Jiang Huai felt powerless when he thought that he might also be implicated.
Even, there was a hint of anger.
Jiang Huai didn't know who he was angry with, Jiang Ran or Jiang Jinrong.
He was even a little angry with himself.
Jiang Huai has thought about this more than once during this period of time.
If he and his elder brother had not repeatedly favored Jiang Yirou and had not neglected their own sister because of Jiang Yirou.
If they had been of one mind with Aning and resolutely drawn a line between themselves and Jiang Yirou and her brother, would the outcome now be completely different? ?
It’s a pity that there are no ifs in this world.
Even if I really regret it, there's nothing I can do.
