go astray with spring

Chapter 19

Although he has never cooked much, he can still cook a few small dishes with natural gas. Unfortunately, there was no natural gas in ancient times, so it was naturally inconvenient.When I was a child, I followed my grandmother and saw her cook a big pot of rice with firewood. Now I've been messing around for a long time, but it still doesn't look like it.

Zhang Zichu sighed, called the cook to help, and finally lit the fire.How to cook next, but don't give the cook a chance to speak.He ordered people to bring the steamer, and then drove them out, leaving only a young man to light the fire.

Fortunately, he also likes this thing. Although he found it troublesome and never made it in modern times, he was curious about the production method.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that it would be useless without seasoning.He called Changchun to come, and said the names of a lot of ingredients, but he didn't want the cook and Changchun to be stunned.

"Master, these things can't be cooked."

"Yes, some of these are medicinal materials, and there are a few things that I have never heard of."

Zhang Zichu frowned, thinking that these things were just common things, they probably had other names in ancient times, or their uses had not been discovered yet.

After deliberation, he decided to buy it himself, so as not to be unclear.Regardless of his disheveled appearance, he asked everyone to turn off the fire on the stove before heading out to the street.

Chang Chun stopped in front of him and said anxiously: "Master, where are you going?"

"You don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll go buy it myself."

Chang Chun hurriedly said: "Master, I don't know what happened between you and the general yesterday, but no matter what, it's always dangerous to be around him. Listen to my advice, if not, don't go there. Yours The letter of appointment has not yet come down, if you go to the general's mansion again, you may not know how they arrange you."

Zhang Zichu looked at him, this pawn that Lin Rujin arranged beside him really rarely interfered with his affairs.It's really rare to endure until now, and finally the fox's tail is exposed.

"If you talk any more, I'll send you back to Shanbei."

Chang Chun was taken aback and didn't dare to say any more, so he could only say: "Master, what kind of dishes do you want to cook, why don't you tell the cooks and let them do it right away. Even if you want to cook it yourself, you don't have to go out to buy these things, as long as you talk to the people who buy them Just say it. As for those who have never heard of it, if you talk about it in detail with the buyer, maybe he has heard of it and he doesn’t know.”

What he said didn't sound unreasonable. Zhang Zichu looked at his hands and feet, and there was a lot of dust on his sleeves.If I wash up and go out, it will inevitably take a long time, and I can't wait now.

He called the buyers and ordered them one by one, but there were still two things missing.He described it carefully again, the buyer nodded and said: "Young master, don't worry, if you see it in the medicinal material shop or the market, you will definitely buy it back."

Zhang Zichu waved his hand, and went into the house, he didn't let Chang Chun follow, he just picked out an old piece of clothing and changed it.

Just now, in order to light the fire, I was in such a mess that my hair burned a few strands.Without thinking too much, he took the scissors and cut off the burning part, and carefully buried it in the small mound in front of the door.

The ancients paid attention to the fact that the body, hair, skin and skin should not be damaged by the parents.He also didn't want to be seen cutting his hair casually, otherwise he would cause a lot of gossip.

After all this tossing, he went to the kitchen again, seeing that the two fish he had ordered were already in place, he felt relieved.

He ordered people to kill the fish, and when he bought them back, he drove them out again.The young man who made the fire just sat on the fire and didn't dare to say much.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Zichu ordered someone to take the food boxes, and sent one to the General's Mansion and the other to the Marshal's Mansion.

He remembered that he had scared away Qiao Dong's fish, and now that he was paying him back, he naturally hoped that he could speak well in front of Qi Yufeng.

As soon as he finished giving the order, he thought to himself: Qi Yufeng injured his hand, Qiao Dong will definitely come to visit him, and Baobuqi is at the general's mansion right now.

Thinking of this, he quickly asked his servants to send the food box to the General's Mansion, saying that if Qiao Dong was not seen, he would take a portion to the Marshal's Mansion.

That's all, seeing that it was almost lunch time, and his whole body was covered with oil stains, so he called for someone to take a bath and change clothes.

He actually wanted to send it in person, but he was really afraid of those people who went to the general's mansion in the morning, so many mocking eyes, all like knives.

He didn't want to get too entangled with Qi Yufeng, but he misunderstood him yesterday, thinking about it, it was always necessary to make amends.Regardless of whether the other party appreciates it or not, all he can give is this boiled fish, nothing more.

Qi Yufeng in the General's Mansion was too excited before, and his wound opened again when he slapped the table. Now he reapplied the medicine and wrapped it with gauze.

Qiao Dong was sitting next to Qi Yufeng, laughing so hard that he couldn't help himself, and was about to say more when he heard two food boxes delivered outside.

The steward said: "General, this is a food box given by Mr. Zhang. It is said that the fish inside is made by him. It's just..."

Seeing him looking at Qiao Dong, Qi Yufeng asked, "Just what?"

"There are two copies, one is for General Joe."

Qi Yufeng's expression darkened, and he said, "Since they are sending me and General Qiao, let's send them all to the Marshal's Mansion."

The housekeeper was very embarrassed, but Qiao Dong said: "What a Zhang Zichu, who has been tossing for a long time without any sincerity, and made two identical dishes for you and me. Since you don't like to eat, I don't like this kind of favor, come here. Pour out the two food boxes. Is there anything good in this world that General Feng hasn't eaten?"

Qi Yufeng didn't speak, apparently acquiescing to Qiao Dong's actions.The housekeeper had no choice but to obediently go out with the food box, and was about to order someone to take it out.

Suddenly, Qiao Dong said again: "Wait! I heard that Mr. Zhang burned a lot of his hair in order to cook this dish. I don't know if he is bald or not. I'm sorry to see you, but you have put your heart into this favor, why don't you open it and have a look?" Let's see before pouring it out."

Qi Yufeng sat beside him without making a sound, as if he didn't hear anything.

The butler had no choice but to carry it back and opened it on the table, but saw a large bowl of fish fillets, sliced ​​extremely thin, with sauerkraut and bean sprouts inside.

"People in Zhang's mansion said that this is called boiled fish. It's a dish that their young master thought of alone. It's never seen outside."

This large bowl of fish fillets has a special fragrance, making Qiao Dong's mouth water.Seeing that Qi Yufeng seemed to be very curious, he said, "Xiaofeng, you see this dish is so special, why don't we try it first, if it doesn't taste good, it won't be too late to throw it away."

He picked up a piece of chopsticks and felt that it melted in his mouth, so he immediately called for wine.He urged Qi Yufeng to say: "You are injured, so you can't drink alcohol. Anyway, you just said that this dish was given to me. Don't stay here. I can't even eat properly with your appearance."

He said he had already eaten several slices, but seeing Qi Yufeng hesitated to speak, he couldn't help laughing.Especially when he saw that he was eating happily, he put down his chopsticks awkwardly.

Qiao Dong didn't know what he was thinking, and Qi Yufeng naturally wouldn't tell others, he didn't like to share this kind of food with others, especially if it was made by the young master.

Qiao Dong shook his head and said with a smile, "If you don't want to go, then I'll go?"

He finished eating the fish fillets in the bowl, put down his chopsticks, picked up the unopened food box next to him, and jumped up.His laughter came from the air: "I want to honor such a delicious food to my adoptive father. Xiaofeng, if you don't like it, you can ask someone to bring it to the Marshal's Mansion."

Qi Yufeng wanted to stand up and chase after him, but he didn't know where to start. Seeing the partially eaten fish fillet, he ordered the rice to be served.

He didn't ask the kitchen to pass the meals, so he ate three bowls of rice with just this pot of fish fillets.

The young master in my memory is a son who is not close to a cook.Even if the spies from Shanbei came to report that the Zhang family had long since fallen, Lin Rujin had acquired all the family property.In Zhang's mansion in the north of the mountain, there were only him and Changchun's master and servant left, relying on Lin Rujin's relief, Zhang Zichu's daily food and clothing were not lacking.People who always like to have fun, close their doors and study the Four Books and Five Classics every day.

But before he saw this dish, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he felt inexplicably sad.

It turned out that after I left, the young master really had a bad time.
