Chapter 505
After Mrs. Huo said this, she paused and looked at Xu Nange.
Xu Nange nodded.
It must be mysterious.
It's so mysterious that they can't even find it, as if it's not even on earth.
She waited quietly for Mrs. Huo to speak, and then heard her speak: "Actually, I don't know much about the Nan family. Although I was in Haicheng when I was young, I also heard that a Mrs. Nan came to Kyoto. , the whole person is gentle and dignified, very well-educated, maybe a little younger than me.”
Mrs. Nan who is slightly younger than Mrs. Huo?
After calculating the age, and then thinking about the elder mentioned by Song Shishi's father, Mrs. Nan should be referring to her grandmother?
Xu Nange continued to listen carefully.
Mrs. Huo spoke: "At that time, Mrs. Nan's reputation had spread to Haicheng. I was curious at the time, so I went to Kyoto with many girls from other families to see her. It turned out that Mrs. Nan was indeed as rumored. She is so knowledgeable and versatile, she looks like a royal princess. ...You also know that we are special in China. These aristocratic families seem to be very powerful, but in fact they are all rising stars. At that time, the Huo family had just arrived. Our group of old people all have the temperament of a nouveau riche, but Nan Madam is different, she is like..."
Mrs. Huo paused for a moment when she said this, as if she didn't know how to describe it.
She suddenly said: "You must have heard of the Wei and Jin Dynasties in Chinese history, right?"
Xu Nange and Huo Beiyan nodded immediately.
Mrs. Huo laughed: "Speaking of the literary world and temperament in Chinese history, the young ladies from aristocratic families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were born with a noble temperament. It was an indescribable charm. Mrs. Nan gave me the feeling , that’s what she is. Elegant and noble, it seems tacky to raise money in front of her. Anyway, I don’t see her shadow in the second person.”
Xu Nange was stunned, unable to imagine what Mrs. Huo described as the grandmother.
However, Song Shishi's father has always been obsessed with the elder's temperament. He must have his own unique charm.
Xu Nange thought so and asked again: "Where did she come from?"
Mrs. Huo smiled: "What you are asking, Mrs. Nan, is of course from the Nan family. At that time, we had been speculating about what kind of family could raise such a rich lady. Therefore, we have been inquiring about her. She only knew that she was from abroad, but she didn’t know where her family was. At that time, some people suspected that she was the eldest daughter of a fake aristocratic family, and they followed her all the way. It turned out that Mrs. Nan was very particular about food and clothing, and was a bit ruthless and extravagant. The scene is beyond the imagination of people like us..."
Xu Nange said: "For example?"
Mrs. Huo smiled: "For example, the most common side dish in her daily diet is called meat with silver sprouts. Do you know how to make it?"
As a professional chef, Xu Nange had of course heard of this dish, which was regarded as a royal meal in the palace.
She nodded, looked at Huo Beiyan and explained: "It is to hollow out the center of each bean sprout, stuff it with shredded ham, and then fry it and serve it cold."
Huo Beiyan: "...One meal must use at least hundreds of bean sprouts, right? Every one is like this? Can it be made?" Xu Nange coughed: "I tried it once before when I was idle and bored. The bean sprouts were very crispy. The bean sprouts will burst if you apply a little force, and the ham shreds are also very soft, so it is difficult to stuff them in, but it is not impossible... I spent six hours and successfully stuffed twenty of them.”
Huo Beiyan: "How much is twenty?"
Xu Nange was silent for a moment: "One chopstick."
Huo Beiyan: "..."
He couldn't help but said: "Who has nothing to do to eat this dish?"
Mrs. Huo said with a smile: "Right, even in a family like ours today, there is no one person in the kitchen who specializes in cooking this dish. But Mrs. Nan's chef is a team. There are about twenty of them, It is the job of one of them to cook for Mrs. Nan. This cold dish is delicious and Mrs. Nan eats it almost every few days. Moreover, this dish is just one of her daily dishes. The dish is called Feilong soup, the kind of bird these days It is already a nationally protected animal and cannot be eaten, but back then, because she liked it, she would always get game at home. Also, because Mrs. Nan liked to eat the meat in the duck tongue, which was included in her recipe. There will also be a Baiwei duck tongue every two days. Baiwei duck tongue, as the name suggests, is the tongue of a hundred ducks... You have to know that when I was young, our living conditions in China were still poor. Who Can the family eat like this? ”
Xu Nange was stunned when he heard this: "Even the queens in the palace in ancient times were not so luxurious, right?"
"Who says it's not?" Mrs. Huo smiled: "So, when we heard that Mrs. Nan's daily life was like this, we finally understood how she cultivated her demeanor."
Xu Nange twitched the corner of his mouth.
Mrs. Huo spoke again: "The key is that these things are only understood by the paparazzi. She has never shown off her family outside, as if it was daily life, and she has never looked down on any of us. , that kind of magnanimity is something my old lady has never seen before.”
When Xu Nange heard this, he finally understood why Mrs. Huo sighed so much.
She asked: "What then?"
Xu Nange suddenly paused: "Have you met her husband?"
Since she is Mrs. Nan and her mother’s name is Nan Jingshu, then does it mean that Mrs. Nan’s husband’s surname is Nan?
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Huo smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I don't know, the reason why she is magical is also at this point. Everyone knows that she is Mrs. Nan, and her daughter's surname is Nan, but no one No one has met her husband, and no one knows her name. She stayed in China during that time, which is considered to be a problem for those of us. Until then, suddenly one day, a fire broke out, and Mrs. Nan disappeared with the fire in Kyoto. As for her daughter...that is, my mother, I am also missing. It wasn’t until recently that I realized that your mother was Mrs. Nan’s daughter.”
Xu Nange took a deep breath.
Mrs. Huo smiled again: "At that time, everyone was very curious about whose wife could raise such a wealthy family. The family obviously didn't have any property, but they spent money like water, and it seemed that they were flowing continuously. It’s like there’s so much money at home…”
Mrs. Huo looked at her: "It wasn't until later that we heard the legend about her."
"What legend?"
