Chapter 186 Roasted pork with chestnuts and chestnuts in sugar (3)

  Since Zhao Youfen's half-pack of sugar-fried chestnuts was placed on Lin Shaoqing's case, Lin Shaoqing's painting movements have obviously slowed down a lot.

Seeing that he just drew a stroke, he involuntarily reached out to grab the chestnut beside the table, pressed it lightly, shelled the chestnut, and threw Lin Fei skillfully into his mouth. Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at each other and exchanged glances. She winked and said nothing.

  After they told Lin Shaoqing about the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, Lin Shaoqing didn't shirk it, and even nodded in agreement.

   This reaction did not surprise Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu at all. Lin Shaoqing, who was rumored to have a "Sura Heart" by outsiders, could not be more eloquent! This "Sura Heart" has always been against the most vicious people, not his own people.

   It happened to be a rare free time, so Lin Fei took a piece of drawing paper on the spot, ready to draw a sample of the beauty lamp noodles in Dali Temple, but Lin Shaoqing, who has always done things quickly and neatly, immediately procrastinated when he encountered the bag of fried chestnuts in sugar.

   Picked up the pen and outlined two strokes, then put down the wolf brush in his hand, and went to peel the sugar-fried chestnuts beside the desk. In the afternoon, Lin Shaoqing left behind the half-painted beauty lamp surface and a pile of peeled chestnut shells beside the desk.

  It seems that only one Master Wen is enough to bring Lin Shaoqing down from the "altar".

  …

   "Ah Choo!" Wen Mingtang sneezed after being yelled at, washed his hands, and returned to the public kitchen to prepare dinner.

  The bell for evening food rang, and the public kitchen immediately became lively.

   After all, I have been talking about the fried chestnuts in sugar all afternoon, and finally I can just come over to pick them up at dinner time, how can I not be in a hurry?

Ji Caimai, who had expected this crop earlier, simply placed the candied sugar-fried chestnuts at the take-out stall, with a serious face, trying to scare the people of Dali Temple who came to receive snacks. Be more disciplined.

   But no matter how serious it is, what expression on Ji Caimai's face has no one seen before? As soon as the crowd came, they followed the smell of fried chestnuts and squeezed to the takeaway stalls. They ignored the serious face and kept urging: "Ji Caimai, hurry up!"

   Ji Caimai, who had already wrapped it in oiled paper, rolled his eyes, and while handing over fried chestnuts with sugar, he said, "Isn't it just a snack? What's the rush? Don't rush! Take it home and eat slowly..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a few guards in the front row, who pointed to the corners of their mouths and said to Ji Caimai: "Ji Caimai, if you wipe the corners of your mouth clean, then say these words It can be more convincing!"

  Look at the unwiped chestnut meat at the corner of the mouth, one look at it and you can tell that Ji Cai bought a lot of sneaky food in the afternoon!

   Ji Caimai, who didn't bluff everyone: "..."

   The guards finished receiving the sugar-fried chestnuts, and then they couldn’t wait to go to the counter to get the evening meal, but they were also stunned when they saw the meat dish in today’s evening meal.

"This is…"

   Pork meat and shelled chestnut meat are wrapped in a thick layer of burnt brown sauce and lie quietly in a small beige casserole: the braised pork meat has been stewed for a long time, and it has already turned into a very beautiful agate color. The fat part is slightly translucent, and the braised sauce slides from the top, slowly flowing and soaking into the depth of the pork.

  People who have tasted braised pork meat a few times, as soon as they saw this scene, they seemed to be able to taste the sticky, slightly gelatinous braised pork juice in their mouths. Fat meat melts in the mouth, lean meat is soft but not rotten, and the taste of fat and lean is distinct. Pour a spoonful of soup and mix it into the rice, and people can easily finish half a bowl of rice with the taste of the braised sauce.

  This time, the partner of braised pork meat, Master Wen, chose chestnuts. Everyone who hadn’t recovered from the caramel-sweet chestnut meat of sugar-fried chestnuts soon came to another way of chestnuts.

  This time it is not the sweetness of caramel, but the braised sauce mixed with a little sweetness is integrated with the chestnut meat. Pick up a piece of chestnut meat and put it in the mouth. The sweet and glutinous taste is not inferior to the sugar-fried chestnut, but compared with it, each has its own advantages.

"This roasted pork with chestnuts is really good for rice!" Liu Yuan sighed with emotion, and simply put the whole bowl of rice upside down in the small beige casserole, and put the rice mixed with the sauce into his mouth with roasted pork chestnuts Rise to go.

There are quite a few people who eat as boldly as he does. Looking at the people in Dali Temple who are busy cooking, Yu Jijiu, who came a little later tonight, was taken aback. Seeing this, he hissed and couldn't help feeling: "This way of eating... No wonder many familiar faces are getting rounder!"

Ji Caimai, who was sitting at the takeaway stall sharing sugar-fried chestnuts, heard the words, looked up at Yu Jijiu, saw the big customer coming, and said with a smile, "Can you smell the aroma of Jijiu? That's made by Master Wen." Stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, can I get a copy for the sacrificial wine?”

  Yu Jijiu sighed with emotion that the familiar faces were getting rounder day by day: "..."

  When a real celebrity should bow his head, he should bow his head immediately before everyone sees it!

   Sniffing his nose, Yu Jijiu resolutely approached the stall bought by Ji Cai, coughed lightly, and said, "I smelled it when I walked into your Dali Temple, share it with me and try it!"

  It becomes more and more rounded day by day. Don't you see an old saying called "sticking autumn fat"? It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, what's wrong with sticking fat?

Then they finished eating and took out as usual. Yu Jijiu waved his hand boldly, because Wang He and others were still in the capital, this time they took away not only the family members, but also Wang He and others. up.

Ji Caimai has always been generous to big customers like Shangyu Jijiu. Not only did he give away an extra portion of sugar-fried chestnuts and Yujijiu, but he also personally summoned a few strong handymen to help Yujijiu pack the takeaway lunch boxes, etc. send things back.

Seeing that Ji Caimai was able to buy the Yuji wine personally presented, Liu Yuan, who brought back a portion of roasted pork with chestnuts and a portion of sugar-fried chestnuts, went back to try something new with his family, and said with emotion: "It's true that the rich can get the ghosts! Yu Ji The wine can still be given by Ji Caimai himself!"

  Ji Caimai, who has not yet returned after seeing him off, turned to look at him sideways when he heard his emotion, and said, "You want me, an old man, to see you off too?"

  Liu Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of the mountain of food that Yu Jijiu had bought, he quickly shook his head, and said, "That's unnecessary!"

  There are not so many people in his family, so why buy so many meals? Isn't it a waste of money?

As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Wen Mingtang also started to prepare the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ji Caimai found a carpenter and began to customize the Mid-Autumn Mooncake Gift Box for Dali Temple. name.

  Compared to the busyness of the public kitchens, the officials in the lobby of Dali Temple have nothing to do and are very leisurely. They are busy studying how to make the lanterns participating in the lantern festival look better.

"Our Dali Temple has a good time these days, but when the festival is approaching, Jingzhao Mansion is always the busiest time!" Bai Zhu inspected the skeleton of the lantern while chatting with Liu Yuan who was peeling sugar and fried chestnuts stand up.

"I don't want to talk about holding lantern festivals and having fun with the people. Whenever the festival is approaching, the guards of Jingzhao Mansion will go out to patrol the streets. Sometimes, several kidnappers can be caught in a day!" Bai Zhu Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "When I came here this morning, I passed by the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and I saw someone reporting to the official that someone was lost at home!"
