Chapter 247: Shredded Pork with Beijing Sauce
Yun Mo could actually answer all the questions asked by Mr. Shen. This was not a level that a normal child could achieve.
"Yun Mo is as smart as his brother." After saying this, he actually felt a little regretful in his heart. This child is so outstanding. If he had not come back too late, he might have become Yun Mo's enlightenment teacher.
When Yun Sheng heard this, he immediately ran to Mr. Shen and said, “Sir, what about me?”
Mr. Shen touched Yun Sheng's head and laughed: "Our Yun Sheng is certainly a smart child."
When Yun Sheng heard that the gentleman also praised her, she was very satisfied, and her eyes narrowed into slits when she smiled. Although she didn't remember this gentleman very much, she still liked him very much.
The fastest way Yun Sheng could think of to express his affection was to hand over the candy in his pocket, "Sir, this is my favorite candy. Here's a piece for you."
This action made Mr. Shen laugh again.
He and Gu Yunyi beside them were also grinning from ear to ear.
In the kitchen here, Xu Qingmeng was making the last dish.
Shredded pork with Beijing sauce.
Xu Qingmeng selected the pork tenderloin, cut it into matchstick-thick silver threads along the grain, put it in a porcelain bowl with egg white and cooking wine, sprinkled it with snow-colored starch and pepper, and marinated it for half an incense stick (about half a quarter of an hour).
Chop the scallion into thin strips and soak in clear spring water. Cut the cucumber into inch-long jade strips. Blanch the tofu skin and flatten it for later use.
Pour a proper amount of oil into a cold pan, turn to low heat when blue smoke starts to rise, and drop the shredded meat into the pan like snowflakes. Use bamboo chopsticks to gently pluck the meat like stroking the strings of a musical instrument. When the blood color fades, serve and set aside.
Leave an appropriate amount of oil in the pot, pour in amber sweet noodle sauce, add sugar and soy sauce, and simmer over low heat until bubbles appear.
Add the shredded pork and let the sauce coat every texture. Add a few drops of sesame oil before serving.
Place shredded emerald green onion and shredded jade cucumber on one side of the white porcelain plate, pile the marinated pork shreds into a small hill, and place soft and warm bean curd sheets next to it.
As Xu Qingmeng cooked, she talked to Xin Ting beside her, "The sweet noodle sauce needs to be melted with sesame oil in advance, so that it will be more mellow. Soaking the chopped green onions in ice water can remove the spiciness and retain the crispness and sweetness. The thousand sheets are soft but not chewy after steaming."
"I understand, aunt."
This classic Beijing dish with its amber-gold, blue-white and white hues is best served as the finale.
Amid the hot steam rising from the stove, Xu Qingmeng shook her wrist lightly to thicken the sauce, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of sweet and salty flavors.
While eating, Xu Qing's cooking skills really amazed Mr. Shen.
As someone who has spent half of his life traveling, I have definitely been to quite a few places.
Mr. Shen has eaten quite a few delicious foods, and he considers himself to be quite knowledgeable.
But sitting at the table and eating the huge table of dishes made by Xu Qingmeng, it felt like a fusion of cuisines from various places.
Mr. Shen feels that some local specialties are more authentic than those made locally.
Mr. Shen had previously felt sorry for his beloved disciple, wondering why he married a woman like Xu Qingmeng. He deserved better. But now he felt that his beloved disciple had found a treasure.
My daughter really can't compare to others. Not to mention that her skills can't catch up, even Xu Qingmeng's every move is not comparable to that of ordinary ladies.
However, the current Xu Qingmeng was not the same as he knew. But Gu Yunyi's beloved disciple had always been promising, so he did not ask any more questions.
After dinner, Gu Yunyi and Mr. Shen were talking in the front hall.
He went to arrange accommodation for Mr. Shen, and Xu Qingmeng went back to the room to feed the baby.
Although Mr. Shen wants to find a house, it will take some time for him to find a suitable house. He will have to stay there for a few days.
Mr. Shen got up early and hurried on his way. He was tired after a day of work. After all, he was old, so he didn't chat with Gu Yunyi for too long.
After a while, the servant came to inform that the house had been cleaned up, and Mr. Shen went back to the house to rest.
When Gu Yunyi returned to the room, the two children had already fallen asleep. He first looked at the two little guys, then sat down on the bed, looked at Xu Qingmeng beside him and said, "My wife."
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingmeng looked at him with confusion.
"Because Mr. Chen was affected by some factions in the officialdom, Mrs. Shen took Shen Yunyi with her and separated from him. For so many years, Mr. Chen has always wanted to make amends with Shen Yunyi, but..."
Even if Gu Yunyi didn't say the next words, Xu Qingmeng already understood. Shen Yunyi was originally the heroine in the book. If it weren't for her arrival, Shen Yunyi would have married him and would not have severed her relationship with Mr. Shen.
Mr. Shen is an upright person, otherwise he would not have been affected back then. It must be that Shen Yunyi proposed something and Mr. Shen did not agree, so this happened.
"Do you regret it?" Xu Qingmeng looked at him and asked.
"Of course not, my lady, why do you think so?" Gu Yunyi held Xu Qingmeng's hand tightly, his eyes sincere and firm.
"My dear, Chen Yunyi is just my sister to me, but you are unique to me. Although I was not good at the beginning, I don't know when it started, but slowly my heart only has you and only you."
"My dear, my heart is very small. It can only hold you and our child."
Xu Qingmeng felt a warm feeling in her heart, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Yeah."
Gu Yunyi asked, "What did the gentleman give you?"
Xu Qingmeng shook her head. It felt like a bracelet before, but when she opened it, it really was one.
A jade bracelet, emerald green all over, and of excellent quality.
Xu Qingmeng gently placed the jade bracelet in her hand and looked at it carefully. Under the light, the bracelet emits a soft and warm glow, as if it contains the breath of life. The surface of the bracelet is smooth and delicate, without a single flaw, just like a pool of clear water, crystal clear.
Gu Yunyi also took a closer look and exclaimed: "The color of this bracelet is really pure, emerald green, as if it could drip water. And look at its transparency, you can almost see through it, which shows how pure its texture is."
Xu Qingmeng nodded. She gently stroked the inner wall of the bracelet with her fingers, feeling the cool and smooth touch, and said, "This bracelet not only has a good color, but also feels great. It must be very comfortable to wear on the wrist."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "This doesn't look like something that was taken out casually. It's obvious that I bought it specially."
Judging from the color and texture of this jade bracelet, it is not cheap.
Gu Yunyi held her hand and said, "I'll bring it to you."
Xu Qingmeng nodded gently.
Gu Yunyi gently put the bracelet on Xu Qingmeng's wrist. The bracelet touched her skin, bringing a hint of coolness, but was quickly warmed by her body temperature. She gently turned her wrist, and the bracelet swayed gently with the movement, emitting a charming luster.
Gu Yunyi looked at the bracelet on Xu Qingmeng's wrist, his eyes full of admiration: "My lady, this bracelet really complements you. It not only sets off the whiteness of your skin, but also makes you look elegant."
Then he gently covered the woman's bright red lips.
