Chapter 61: The World of Soybean Paste in Northeast China



Now everything is fine and everyone is happy. The girls are determined to make good money and find top men, and it would be best if they could find more of them.

After everyone had dispersed, Leng Yue pointed to the rope hanging on the tree, and Sun Zhiyin pulled it down. She said embarrassedly, "I just had a sudden thought, I didn't really want to die."

Ouyang felt relieved after hearing this and tapped Sun Zhiyin's forehead, "You almost scared your mother to death."

The mother and daughter walked away hugging each other's arms. Seeing that everyone had left, Huo Jingxuan pulled Leng Yue into the carriage.

He said with a look of resentment: "Madam, I also want to cool down."

Leng Yue agreed very readily. Just when Huo Jingxuan was looking for a place to commit the crime with great anticipation, Leng Yue directly brought out the pickled vegetables that she had prepared in advance in the space.

"Husband, look what I found in the space today, dandelion, this thing is very good for reducing internal heat, it is just right for your condition."

Then he left Huo Jingxuan, who looked petrified, and told everyone, "Wash your hands and come over to eat."

An extra-large table was taken out from the space. If anyone paid close attention, they would find that this table belonged to Liu Ruhui's family in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Leng Yue was searching, she fell in love with the table at first sight, not because of the good material or the unique pattern, but because it was big enough, which was exactly what they needed now.

On top were the braised pork elbow, braised chicken, cold pork heart, and various pickled vegetables that she made in the space.

There was also a big pot dish made by An Shi, the wild chef, which contained wild boar meat, cabbage, potatoes and vermicelli.

Of course, vermicelli was also provided by Lengyue, as well as a big pot of white rice.

When everyone arrived, we discovered that there was still a table there. It was so luxurious and antique. It seemed out of place in such a vast wilderness.

Especially Mr. Qi, Mr. Liu and Mr. Sun, who had eaten at this table in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and recognized it at a glance.

They all praised Leng Yue, "Madam really knows how to live. She even moved the table from Liu Ze's house here."

When everyone heard that this was once the table of the Prime Minister's house, they all glanced at it a few more times, but they couldn't tell that it had an extra leg or something.

Instead, they were more interested in the pickled vegetables on the table and asked, "Madam, those vegetables are still raw, can we eat them?

And what is that black thing in the bowl?"

Finally someone asked the right question, and Leng Yue gave everyone a detailed introduction.

“It is said that the toads from Jilin, the crabs from Jiangsu, the lamb from Northwest China are the best, and the soybean paste from Northeast China is the best in the world.

This is the sauce for dipping the world, and this is what is said above.”

He even picked up a dandelion, scooped out some sauce, and demonstrated how to eat it.

“Dipping pickles with braised meat is a perfect combination of meat and vegetables, and it helps to relieve the greasiness!”

Then he gave him the pork elbow and two braised chickens that he had promised An Er, "Since there is no roast chicken, I'll use braised chicken instead. The extra chicken leg is compensation. I'm a man of my words, and I don't owe you anything."

An Er smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed and his eyes were not. "We are even, we are even. Madam is the best."

He picked up the big pork elbow and started to eat it. Watching An Er eat was like watching modern food shows. It whetted my appetite and made everyone hungry in a short time.

After that, no one was polite anymore and everyone started eating with chopsticks.

After eating a big elbow, An Er finally had time to speak, "Madam, the toad, crab and mutton you just mentioned made me hungry. Let's try them when we have time!

Of the things you mentioned, I’ve eaten the mutton before, but I’ve never heard of the other two before, and I don’t even know what they taste like.”

When the foodies heard what An Er said, they put down their chopsticks and stared at Leng Yue.

That means they want to eat too.

Leng Yue just realized that there are quite a few foodies here!

"Okay, let's try them all when we get a chance. Toads and crabs are hard to find right now, so we have to go to the local area to eat them.

It is not difficult to eat mutton. You can think of a way to hunt or something. It will just take time and you probably have to go deep into the mountains.

But we can have fish tonight, it’s ready-made and saves trouble.”

An Er was shocked when he heard this, "Can the fish fry I released last time be eaten in just a few days?

Growing so fast?"

Leng Yue shook her head, "How can that be possible? Even if I take hormones I can't grow that fast!

I collected several fish from Liu Zei’s kitchen. They are all large in size, enough for a meal for all of us.”

It is so comfortable to have meat for every meal and live without intrigue.

The only flaw is a glass of wine.

The four old men looked at each other, sighed, and went back to eating.

General Tang knew the Huo family's motto: no drinking was allowed during festivals or unless there were special circumstances.

You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the military camp. The worst punishment is to be beaten with a stick or expelled from the camp.

Leng Yue saw everything and took out a small jar of wine from the space, which was also taken from Liu Zei's house.

She didn't understand it either. She just passed by and smelled some good, so she collected them. Now she still has a lot of them in her space!

But now they were in the wilderness, with insufficient manpower, and they were carrying so many female relatives, plus there were several waves of assassins who might come and kill them at any time.

Even if she has a cheat, she dare not be careless, because there are always people better than you.

As soon as the wine jar landed on the table, it instantly attracted the attention of the four elders.

Although they were happy, they still looked at Huo Jingxuan's face first. For some reason, they were inexplicably a little afraid of him.

Huo Jingxuan took a look and saw that it was his wife who took it out, so he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After thinking it over, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Just stop drinking when you are full."

The four elders were so happy that they each poured half a cup and took three sips.

Now, let alone asking them to drink less, they would be satisfied just by letting them smell the flavor.

The secret guards looked at each other and thought, the lady is really very prestigious.

In the past, anyone who dared to bring wine to the general for no reason would be beaten with a stick.

They all tried to show their courtesy to Leng Yue and used serving chopsticks to pick up food for her. From now on, they had to flatter her and hold on to her golden thigh.

Leng Yue accepted it happily and said to the four elders: "Liu the thief is dead, let you have some wine and celebrate simply."

The four elders nodded, "We should celebrate. That old villain is finally dead. It makes us happy just thinking about it!"

At night, when Leng Yue and An Shi were processing fish, they were seen by Tang Xiaoyue.

When she saw the black fish, she thought it was a snake and kicked it away.

Then he took Leng Yue's hand and ran away, and asked her with concern, "Are you okay? Were you not bitten by a snake?"

Leng Yue was confused at first, but then she understood and wanted to laugh.

Holding Tang Xiaoyue's hand, he said, "Fourth sister-in-law! You are mistaken. That is a fish, not a snake."

Tang Xiaoyue asked doubtfully, "Don't try to trick me by pretending snake meat is fish meat. I'm most afraid of that stuff. Be careful or I'll vomit it in front of you."

Leng Yue really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My dear Fourth Sister-in-law, snake meat is considered a wild delicacy, and it's very expensive. The general ones are 20 to 30 coins per pound, and the rare ones can be sold for dozens of taels of silver in the medicine shop.

Everyone dislikes fish because it smells fishy, ​​is watery and cheap, and costs three or four copper coins per pound.

What's the matter? You still want to eat snake meat worth dozens or even hundreds of coins for only three or four coins?

With that little money, even if you give it to Fahai, Fahai won't be able to import the goods!"
