Chapter 149: Dumplings with Radish and Beef
The next day, Xie Yanyan woke up and saw Xie Anfeng, Xu Wenrong and Zhou Shaoyu practicing martial arts in the yard.
With every move, sweat dripped from his temples along his cheeks, and his masculine charm exploded like a drop of water falling into a frying pan.
The masculine energy of men who practice martial arts is truly attractive.
She walked out of the yard quietly.
Zhou Shaoyu immediately signaled to Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin followed immediately.
"Thank you... Master, where are you going?"
"Walking around the streets."
The breakfast in the Former Qin Dynasty was very crude, and there were no things like wontons on the streets.
"Indeed." Zhou Jin said with a smile, "Compared to the breakfast you made, these are just pig food."
Xie Yanyan walked around and bought 10 kilograms of flour, 5 kilograms of white radish, and 6 kilograms of beef. He specifically asked the stall owner for a piece of butter.
Zhou Jindu was carrying it, so how could Xie Yanyan be asked to work with him around?
After returning to the inn, Zhou Tu saw Xie Yanyan bought a bunch of ingredients and asked, "Master Xie is going to cook for him himself?"
Xie Yanyan stopped and asked, "How much copper coins do I need to use your kitchen?"
Zhou Tu choked: "No, it's free, you can use it as you like."
"Oh, thank you!"
Zhou Tu's heart sank immediately. The third young master was holding a grudge!
Xu Wenrong had already put away the Tang sword and asked her with a smile: "What are you going to do?"
"dumpling."
Xie Anfeng immediately said, "I'll light the fire."
He already knew Xie Yanyan's personality very well. She didn't know how to make fire, nor did she like to make fire!
Xie Anfeng skillfully washed the beef with clean water, then soaked it in salt water for a quarter of an hour, and then chopped it into stuffing with a "plop plop".
Xie Yanyan peeled the white radish and cut it into thin slices, then blanched it in boiling water for about 3 minutes, took it out and used gauze to squeeze out some of the water from the blanched radish slices, and then chopped it up.
Add beef filling, radish filling, chopped green onion, chopped ginger, special spices for dumpling filling, pepper powder, pepper powder, soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, and sesame oil, and mix well.
The dumpling filling is ready.
At this time, the aroma of the filling has already spread, and the dumplings must be delicious.
Xu Wenrong helped her mix the stuffing. The whole pot of stuffing weighed more than ten pounds, and her thin arms and legs could not handle it at all.
Mix the dough, let it rest, make dough into small pieces, cut into small pieces, roll out the dough, and make dumplings.
She is good at hands-on work. She takes the skin, puts the stuffing in, folds the dumpling skin in half, and squeezes and pinches it with both hands to complete one.
Dumplings had already become popular among the nobles in the late Han Dynasty. Zhou Shaoyu, Xu Wenrong and others both knew how to make dumplings.
I made three baskets of dumplings, nearly 300 in total.
Xie Anfeng boiled a large pot of water. The pot was so big that it could cook more than 100 dumplings at a time.
The beef is difficult to cook, so each pot is boiled three times, and the dumplings float up. When they are out of the pot, a total of 20 bowls are served.
Take another bowl for seasoning, add half a bowl of vinegar, chopped garlic and sesame oil, mix it well, then divide it into five or six small plates and eat the dumplings with vinegar.
A bottle of chili sauce is placed on the table, and those who like spicy food can add it themselves.
The beef-stuffed dumplings with white radish are fresh, fragrant and juicy. They are more than just delicious.
In the morning, the five of them had dumplings stuffed with beef and radish and were full. The rest of the people also ate some, and those who ate more felt worse than those who didn't.
You won’t know how delicious it is until you eat it. It makes you hungry and you can’t take it back.
Zhou Jin looked for Zhou Tu with great confidence, rubbed his stomach and said, "Brother, I'm full."
When Zhou Tu looked at him, he really wanted to beat him up.
"Why are you looking at me with such hatred? Xie Xiao... The young master's cooking is always delicious. If you offend him, you're done."
"Shut up."
"Oh, okay!"
Zhou Jin, who was silenced, still couldn't help showing off. He took out the military dagger from his waist and showed it to his brother: "Brother, look, is this dagger good?"
Zhou Tu could tell at a glance how powerful this bayonet was. This knife could truly be said to be able to cut hair with a single blow.
He couldn't let it go, and played with it for a few rounds, his eyes turning red with envy.
The handle, the blade groove, and even the scabbard are all top-notch. If the other party was not his younger brother, he would have snatched it away.
"Ah Jin, is this a reward from the prince?"
"Thank you..." There are some things that even a brother cannot say. Zhou Jin snatched it and said, "This is a reward from the master."
Who is Zhou Tu? He has been in the salt business for 5 years, so he is naturally very cunning. Although Zhou Jin didn't say anything after the word "Xie", he had already guessed that it was related to that Young Master Xie.
Suddenly, I felt an indescribable panic in my heart.
Match day.
"Manager Zhou, Princess Xiyue is here." Huang Han ran in sweating profusely from outside, "She came with a lot of people."
What? So many people?
Zhou Tu hurried out to meet them, and saw the royal flags covering the sky.
Princess Xiyue came to the inn accompanied by eighteen guards and four maids.
With great momentum.
"Please keep out of the way. Princess Xiyue invites Master Xie to compete in salt making at the Princess's Mansion."
Along the way, the guards drove away the crowd.
Chencheng is a salt market, and eight out of ten people are related to the salt industry.
When they heard that Princess Xiyue's residence was going to hold a salt-making competition, and that it was a competition with Princess Xiyue, everyone wanted to watch the fun, and some also wanted to learn a thing or two from her.
Before McDull arrived at Keyue Inn, Zhou Jin had already reported the situation to Zhou Shaoyu.
Zhou Shaoyu snorted and said, "She's just a princess, why bother with the ceremonial procession?"
This prince is a legitimate prince, what is she, a princess?
When Xie Yanyan heard his childish words, she was also very curious about what kind of ceremony the prince had.
Zhou Jin then told Xie Yanyan that, in fact, for a vassal king like the King of Nanhai who dominated a region, the prince had the same majesty as an ordinary prince.
Xie Yanyan felt his scalp tingling just by listening to the flag team leading the carriage. Adding the motorcade, the ceremony was very luxurious and majestic.
It's just that a small salt-making competition is too ostentatious! Besides, does Zhou Shaoyu have a guard of honor here?
"This prince wants to organize a cavalry."
His ceremonial procession is indeed not here, but he has good horses. He can still provide a cavalry of fifty or sixty people.
Xie Yanyan thought of the good horse in her own space, which she couldn’t take out now.
In the end, Zhou Tu got 50 tall horses and a two-wheeled carriage with luxurious decorations, and Zhou Shaoyu personally escorted her!
People watching the excitement on the street were all talking excitedly.
"That's Prince Zhou. He looks really heroic and extraordinary."
"Who is in the carriage? The prince is actually protecting him personally."
"The person guarding the emperor also looks like an official."
"Butler Zhou is in the back."
…
Although his momentum was suppressed, McDull was not annoyed. He was just more interested in the relationship between Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Yanyan. They couldn't really be Long Yang, right?
They arrived at Princess Xiyue's residence in a grand procession, and everyone saw Xie Yanyan getting out of the car.
The young man was wearing brocade clothes and a jade belt, a golden crown on his head, a pair of phoenix eyes, and he looked cold and arrogant.
Several hall masters under Zhou Tu also rushed over from several nearby salt wells and salt markets.
The only two people who are worried here are Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong.
Zhou Shaoyu saw that Xie Yanyan was extremely calm, and he knew that Xie Yanyan was confident.
As long as she was willing to do something, he would carry her sedan chair, making her the dazzling star of the world like the sun.
McDull was certain that Xie Yanyan didn't know how to make salt, as the salt industry had never heard of a salt-making genius named Xie.
She invited her brother, the Prince of Nanzhong, to come overnight.
When both sides arrived, the gate of the Princess's Mansion opened and the competition began immediately.
Zhou Shaoyu said: "Wait a little longer."
After a while, the guard at the door reported: "The Lord of Chencheng has arrived."
"Salt Gang Leader Song is here."
"President Yan Ye Ji has arrived."
"President Qiu of the Salt Industry has arrived."
