She was an orphan. Although she had a teacher as her father, she had no mother.
When the master was young, his clan arranged a marriage for him. Later, because his family fell into poverty, the other party's parents regretted the marriage and broke off the engagement. He never arranged another marriage, so she did not have a master's wife.
After arriving in Beijing, she met three people: Aunt Cao was simple and easy-going, Mrs. Lin was gentle and loving, and Mrs. Lou was considerate, all of whom made her feel the love of a mother for her children.
This is extremely rare for her, and she is extremely grateful.
She carefully put away the things sent by Mrs. Lou, thinking that she could not accept these things in vain, and she had to find a day to visit and return the gift.
When Lou Yunchun arrived, Xu Jiang was frying crispy quail. He could smell the fragrance even when he was standing outside the door.
Xu Jiang had not originally planned to eat the quails in this cage today, mainly because cats naturally like to pounce on birds. The quails were placed in the backyard, and no matter how high or low they were, they could not be prevented from being taken out by Yue Nu, who had already taken them out and bitten two of them to death.
Xu Jiang simply disposed of them all, leaving herself in peace. She collected the two that were bitten to death and cooked them for Yue Nu, and fried the rest into a crispy quail dish to go with wine.
She removed the head and claws of the cleaned quail and chopped it into four pieces. She marinated it with green onions, ginger, sugarcane juice, soy milk, rice wine and salt for about a cup of tea, and then mixed it with egg white, kudzu root powder and cooking oil to make a batter for later use.
When frying quail, use lard. After the lard is cooked to about 60% to 70% done, coat the marinated quail pieces with batter and fry them in oil until golden brown and dry.
After all the ingredients are fried, leave only the oil at the bottom of the pan, add a little sesame oil, fry the fried quail again, sprinkle with mountain pepper powder and Sichuan pepper powder when removing from the pan, and a crispy quail is ready.
After the crispy quail was fried, Xu Jiang also made a shepherd's purse soup, and added the pickled cucumber and fish sauce sent by Aunt Cao, which was just enough to make a table of side dishes.
After Liang Mo left, Lou Yunchun closed the shop and then helped set the table.
Xu Jiang placed the meal in the backyard.
She and Lou Yunchun carried down the Liangyi couch, placed a Liangyi table with two handles on it, hung up two lanterns, arranged the food, and ate under the cover of night.
How can we miss good wine on such a beautiful day?
Xu Jiang asked Lou Yunchun to bring out a small stove, borrow two pieces of charcoal, heat up a pot of rice wine, and then picked a few green plums and put them on a plate to go with the wine.
Green plum wine and crispy snacks, chicken, duck, donkey, goose and yellow cat.
Accompanied by the stars, the moon, and the morning breeze, the two of them ate heartily.
The crispy quail was a bit greasy in the end, so Xu Jiang took a green plum to chew on. After taking a bite, he was shocked by the sourness and quickly drank half a cup of rice wine.
The sour taste of the green plum and the sweet taste of the rice wine blend together to create a refreshing and unique taste. Xu Jiang couldn't help but pick up the green plum and take another bite.
Eating green plums during Grain in Ear season has become a custom, but green plums are sour and astringent and difficult to eat, so they need to be boiled with wine.
Seeing that she was eating with relish, Lou Yunchun leaned forward to ask for food, taking a bite of green plum and a sip of boiled wine, tasting the sour and sweet flavors.
After the banquet was over and the wine was finished, the two moon slaves, one big and one small, curled up on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Jiang looked at the starry sky and saw that there would be no rain tonight, so he simply let the man and the cat go to sleep.
The next day, Lou Yunchun had several mosquito bites on his face.
