Chapter 32: [A gentleman is far away from the kitchen]
...
"Big Brother."
"Hey, second brother, this is my filial piety!" Cheng Yaojin stopped Ao Wu who was about to speak, "I originally wanted to take the second elders to live in Chengzhuang, but I was afraid that the road was far and inconvenient, so I decided to build a big house here for the second elders. If you even reject me, then I will still be your elder brother?"
Cheng Yaojin knew that Ao Wu wanted to live a good life for his parents as a son-in-law, and would be pointed at by others. Otherwise, with his second brother's ability, how could he let his parents live in thatched houses and be bullied by the country bully? He is his godson, so he would not be guided by others when he does these things, so he must help his brother fulfill his filial piety.
"Brother!" Ao Wu clasped his fists and said.
He has promised this love, and he will come back thousands of times in the future to repay Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin laughed and called Cheng Erde: "Which land is good to go to Sanlitun to find? Buy it for me. I want to build a big house for my godfather and my godmother!"
Cheng Erde responded and ran outside.
"I couldn't prepare the banquet today, so I invited my elder brother to give it to you. I'll treat you to you tomorrow!" Ao Wu said.
He was going to make some dishes from later generations and invite Cheng Yaojin to have a meal.
The dishes from the Sui Dynasty were cooked and roasted, which were very simple and single.
Whether it is delicious or not depends on the quality of the ingredients.
Of course, good ingredients are often ruined.
Ao Wu himself was not picky about food, as long as he could eat it, it was fine. He came to ancient times to practice. He didn't care about anything except practice, so he never thought about improving his food.
Now, in order to repay Cheng Yaojin, he decided to do something.
But when these words came to the ears of others, they were a little strange. It seemed that Ao Wu was not going to invite Cheng Yaojin to dinner.
"Hahaha, brothers don't care about food, just eat it!" Cheng Yaojin said readily.
Zhong Qing said angrily: "Mr., the luncheon at home is ready. Doctor Xu is still waiting at home with a plaque. Please invite your in-laws to go back for lunch together!"
Of course, Ao Wu did not object to this arrangement.
Xu Sanmao said he was coming to deliver the plaque, but after something happened, he did not receive him.
Alai drove over in a carriage. Zhong Qing held the old lady with the old lady onto the carriage, and then went to the Zhong family with Cheng Yaojin and Ao Wu.
Xu Sanmao had already drunk two teas at the Zhong family, and finally waited for Ao Wu and others to come back.
"Young Master Ao, Xu is here as promised!" Xu Sanmao saluted Ao Wu gratefully.
Although Xu Sanmao coughed a few times at this time, it was obviously much better than three days ago.
Xu Sanmao turned around and gave up the plaque behind him. The miraculous doctor was alive.
He still remembered Ao Wu's order and said, "Please accept this plaque by Dr. Zhong!"
Zhong Qing said: "My father has not returned from the hospital, so the husband will accept it on his behalf!"
She said this and looked at Ao Wu with pretty eyes.
Doctor Zhong was not at home, so someone had to accept it on his behalf. Ao Wu was the one who cured the disease, so in this way, it was also the original owner.
Ao Wu was not pretentious and took it generously.
The luncheon at Zhong's family had already been prepared and everyone attended the banquet.
After the banquet, Xu Sanmao was resting in the room. Cheng Yaojin heard that there was an idle yard near Sanlitun and planned to take the plan to save trouble, so he took the donkey-faced housekeeper out.
After relocating the two elders, Ao Wu asked Zhong Qing: "Hi, after so many days of busyness, I'm just blowing up the procurement of medicinal materials?"
Thinking about the past few days, Zhong Qing got up early and went to bed late, and finally got the business done. He gave up with his last words. Ao Wu couldn't help but be moved by a little.
"This is the Yan family provoking the Xiao family. If they don't do this, the Xiao family will have any objections to us." Zhong Qing gently pulled him into cold water.
OK. Ao Wu touched his nose and said, "No matter what, thank you for your righteousness. I was wrong the other night and didn't give in to you."
"That's my in-laws, why do you do so much?" Zhong Qing was a little angry, "You just need not cause trouble for me. You can't make food alone for Brother Cheng tomorrow."
It seems that Zhong Qing heard Ao Wu's words just now as if she was going to invite a meal in Sanlitun, which seemed to be out of the Zhong family.
"I asked Dahu to prepare the dishes and cook them here tomorrow." Ao Wu stood up, "Don't forget this. I'll go find Dahu now."
He walked outside in Zhong Qing's surprise. After a while, he heard Ao Wu shouting at Dahu.
She supported her chin with her hands, frowned and thought for a while, then went back to the study to write a letter with a pen, and called the servant: "You go to Licheng County and hand the letter to my grandfather..."
"Here, madam." The servant took the letter and went down.
"Son-in-law, this is medicine, you don't have to go out and buy it!" Dahu said blankly as he listened to the name of the spice reported by Ao Wu.
"Medicine?" Ao Wu then remembered that the five spices of cinnamon, tangerine peel, star anise, grass fruit, and pepper were used as herbs in ancient times.
The Zhong family is a medical family and a wholesaler of medicinal materials, so this thing is of course indispensable.
He waved his hand: "Then take it from home!"
The ingredients were mainly pork, chicken and fish. The tiger was ordered to buy it. Ao Wu himself got into the kitchen. Amid the screams of the kitchen aunt, Ao Wu reconnaissed everything in the kitchen at the speed of a blitz.
When I came to ancient times, I felt that other places were not backward. Although they were incomparable to later generations, they could still live.
But this kitchen is really backward to the primitive society.
It's simple, and the kitchen is summarized in just two words.
It's as simple as cooking for pigs.
There is no wok or shovel, this is nothing, it’s just a creation.
There is no seasoning, Dahu said just now, that is medicine, and it is very practical to use it.
Without MSG, this cannot be made, but it can be used to make chicken soup instead.
I didn’t see the soy sauce, let alone the dark soy sauce, it’s a new soy sauce. This thing will be brewed next time.
I pushed the black stuff inside, and I only found out after asking, it was frosting. The purification technology was not good, and I don’t know if I could use this thing to make rock sugar.
I had to curse the Sui Dynasty that there was too little material.
I originally wanted to get a plate of braised pork ribs for Cheng Yaojin to taste, but it would not be possible without soy sauce. But braised pork ribs and sweet and sour pork ribs are fine.
Zhong Qing was alarmed and ran over to see Ao Wugang coming out of the kitchen and said, "Mr., gentleman is away from the kitchen."
"Great kindness should be thanked again!" Ao Wu replied, and saw Dahu pulling a fat pig in, and hurriedly crossing Zhong Qing to instruct the butcher to break down the pork.
The pork ribs, tenderloin, and pork belly are fat and the fat and thin hind legs are chopped into meat paste. The four pig trotters are of great use.
Zhong Qing looked at Ao Wu just giving instructions and didn't do it himself, so she didn't say anything else.
