Chapter 527 Pan-fried Tofu
"With pancakes." Xia Mingyue gave an answer.
The scallion pancakes are hard and chewy when eaten. They are most delicious when paired with tender crucian carp stewed with tofu, or you can eat the pancakes soaked in soup for a unique flavor.
"Okay, let's eat it with pancakes." Fan Jinglan smiled with her eyebrows creasing.
The two people continued walking back, talking and laughing. The curtains of a carriage in the distance were opened after a long time.
After confirming that she had not been discovered, Cen Ying let out a breath.
Xiao Luoan smiled when he saw this, "You've been watching for several days, but you still don't feel at ease?"
"That's almost it." Cen Ying lowered the curtain.
"Actually, your worries are somewhat unnecessary. I know a little bit about Mrs. Fan. I know that although she is sometimes straight-tempered and has a bad temper, she always protects the people and things she chooses. Persistence, not to mention the airs of a noble lady, since she is very fond of Madam Xia, she will definitely get along well with her, you can rest assured." Xiao Luoan comforted.
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing." Cen Ying replied calmly.
Xiao Luoan, "..."
But what he heard was what his master said.
Could it be that you don't trust him as the master?
"After all, I won't have a return date when I go to the capital, so it's better to be more cautious." Cen Ying added, "Now, I feel completely relieved that I can go back with the young master."
So, his status is still behind Lady Xia?
Xiao Luoan felt a little sour in his heart and reached out to touch his nose, "Since you are so concerned about Madam Xia, I am a little curious. If Madam Fan is not reliable, what will you do?"
Without any thought, Cen Ying clenched the sword in her hand and said one word lightly, "Fight."
Xiao Luoan, "..."
Simple and crude.
This is something Cen Ying can do.
"But I see that Mrs. Fan's skills are probably not inferior to yours." Xiao Luo'an said, "And when she appears here, the Fan family will definitely send many good people to follow her, but I'm afraid you won't be able to gain the upper hand. ”
Cen Ying's eyes were firm and her tone was still unquestionable, "Hit."
Her decision will not be changed by changes in circumstances.
Xiao Luo settled for a moment and asked after a long time, "What if someone treats me badly?"
"What?" Cen Ying turned around.
"Nothing..." Xiao Luoan touched his nose, "I mean, what if someone is my enemy?"
Cen Ying looked at Xiao Luoan and bowed solemnly in the carriage, "From the day I followed the young master, I swore to God that I would follow the young master to the death."
"If anyone is an enemy of the Young Master, he will go to any end of the world and go through fire and water without hesitation as long as the Young Master orders him to do so."
In other words, her unhesitating treatment of him was out of duty and without any selfish thoughts. If she considered it carefully, she probably had no emotion at all.
In this regard, he is not as good as Lady Xia.
Xiao Luoan breathed out in his heart.
When he was still very young, he understood the truth that everything in this world must be obtained by oneself, and no one can give it to him.
Therefore, envy is the most useless thing. It cannot satisfy oneself and can easily disturb the mind. Therefore, he tried his best to abandon one of the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, so that he could always have a clear mind and not be a slave to emotions.
But now, he is really envious of Lady Xia.
"Get up." Xiao Luoan sighed, "Let's go and set off."
He had been away from the capital long enough, and it was time to go back.
Many things should be done.
——
In the back house of the government office, the government official who received the tofu sent by Xia Mingyue delivered it all the way to Zhang Heming's wife, Cao.
After repeatedly explaining that the tofu was sent by Xia Mingyue and asking Mr. Cao to tell Zhang Heming, the Yamen resigned.
And Cao also agreed repeatedly.
After the official left, Mrs. Cao looked at the large piece of white and tender tofu placed in the small basket, and felt fluid in her mouth for no reason.
Tofu was a normal food, and it shouldn't have attracted her so much. But today, even though the tofu was completely cold, it still had a fragrant and delicious smell.
Ms. Cao had often visited Xia Ji Food Stall and Yipin Guo before, and knew that Xia Mingyue was an excellent cook. Maybe the tofu made by Xia Mingyue was more delicious than what others usually made?
Anyway, it's getting late now, and the master will have to eat when he comes back later. Why not just make the tofu into a dish, so that when the master comes back, you can eat it directly, and you have tasted the tofu made by Xia Mingyue?
Mr. Cao had this calculation in his mind and even put it into action.
Cut the tofu into thick slices, boil it in water to remove the bean flavor that is easy to have in the tofu, and then fry it in a pan until both sides are golden...
The flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the fat in the pot wrapped the tofu, making a sizzling sound, which was pleasant to the ear. The hot steam was mixed with the unique mellow taste of fried tofu, which made Mr. Cao couldn't help but cook it. Swallowed and swallowed saliva.
I don’t know if the tofu is cooked yet, why not...
Have a taste?
Yes, give it a try!
Ms. Cao took two pieces of fried tofu onto a plate, picked them up with a pair of chopsticks and put them in her mouth.
The skin of the tofu is golden brown when it is fried at this time, and it tastes slightly crispy. It makes a squeaking sound when chewed, and the burnt skin has a strong fragrance, and the hot and fried tofu inside is smooth and tender. The taste of tofu...
tasty!
Ms. Cao sighed with emotion and nodded repeatedly.
Not to mention, this tofu tastes full of bean flavor and extremely fragrant. It is more delicious than the tofu you usually eat.
Mrs. Cao felt that the tofu was so delicious that she couldn't stop eating it, so she put all the sizzling tofu in the pot into the plate one by one, and put them into her mouth one by one.
So delicious!
When the tofu in the pot was finished, Cao didn't hesitate at all. He cut the remaining half of the tofu into pieces and put it into the pot to fry slowly over low heat.
When the tofu was almost fried, Cao couldn't wait to take it out again and put it in his mouth...
Mrs. Cao was enjoying herself in the kitchen, and Zhang Heming returned to the house at this time.
After learning that Xia Mingyue had come and brought tofu, Zhang Heming rushed to the back house happily.
And when she learned from the maid that Mrs. Cao had entered the kitchen alone and said she wanted to cook dinner for Zhang Heming, Zhang Heming couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Sure enough, Madam understands him!
And when Zhang Heming walked all the way to the kitchen and smelled the rich aroma from all the way, the smile on his face almost overflowed.
It’s the smell of fried tofu!
As expected, the madam had a close connection with her and knew what he wanted to eat most!
Zhang Heming quickened his pace and entered the kitchen in three steps at a time. He just happened to see Mrs. Cao in the kitchen holding a plate and chopsticks, putting fried tofu slices into her mouth...
