The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 60: Dear, do you want to buy it?

While Zhao Yunchu was still eating, Yun Yanhui also watched the performance of Kaifeng officials who had greatly improved their happiness because of the food in the cafeteria, and went to the back of the cafeteria again. He looked to see what meals were left, diced the pumpkin, and cooked sliced ​​pork.

When the pork is cooked, fish out the meat, throw the pumpkin into the soup and continue to cook. When it is boiled, take it out and stir it with the pork slices and cooked rice.

Finally, take a few slices of radish tassels on top and take away the whole plate.

After he came out, Zhao Yunchu had almost eaten, so Yun Yan took Zhao Yunchu to Tianqingguan. Because of the special nature of his office, Bao Zheng specially allocated a study for him, which is considered a temporary worker of this level. The best yet.

Six Mao is now living here, Yun Yan is back carrying the basket, which is the cat rice that has just been mixed.

Some of the cats were squatting on the desk, some were lying on the windowsill, some were lying directly on the ground, and some were licking each other's fur. As soon as they saw Yunyan coming back in, they meowed softly.

But as soon as Zhao Yunchu came in, the six hairs froze, they pouted their hips, stared at Zhao Yunchu nervously, and made a nervous grunt from his throat.

"Huh?" Yun Yanhui still didn't understand what was going on, because in his eyes, no matter how tall Zhao Yunchu was, he was still that stupid white sweet who could have sex.

Zhao Yunchu retreated to the corner of the house and complained, "It's the same again, my mother's cat did the same thing when she saw me and my father. My mother said it was scared. Brother Yan, am I scary?"

Only Yun Yan realized that, although Zhao Yunchu was very bullying in his eyes, in the eyes of cats, he was probably a huge monster with a dangerous aura.

"How old are you, how small are they, just stay there and don't move." Yun Yan said back, stretched out her arms and folded her hands to smooth the hair, then down the top of her head, and rubbed the foot pads again. , Although the two cats were still tense, they stopped purring.

Yun Yanhui did the same, so that the six cats were silent, and then poured the cat food she brought back into a large basin. The kittens smelled the aroma and wanted to go to the rice bowl.

But the cat food is still a little hot, so it's not good to give it to them directly, for fear of burning her tongue, Yun Yanhui can only stand up with the basin. The kittens scratched his clothes with their claws and tried to climb up.

Yun Yanhui simply took a ruler and stirred the cat rice, so that they could dissipate heat quickly, and then put it down when it was almost cold.

The long-awaited Liu Mao plunged his head into the food bowl, and when he was a little more excited, he even stepped in with his front paws.

Liu Mao, the weakest body, was squeezed in. He was the only male cat in the litter, far less fierce than the other cats. After turning around a few times outside, he couldn't find any space, but he jumped on San Mao's back and jumped into the middle of the bowl, only to be arched out by several other Maos.

Seeing Liu Mao wiped his face in disgrace, Yun Yan Hui took out a ball of cat rice with his hands and handed it to Liu Mao.

"Meow~" Liu Mao called coquettishly and started eating in Yun Yan's palm.

After taking two bites, Yun Yanhui lowered her hand and placed the food on the ground, telling it to eat by herself.

As soon as the food was put on the ground, Liu Mao didn't eat it and looked up at Yun Yanhui.

"Oh, you are quite clean." Yun Yanhui had no choice but to support Liu Mao with her hands.

Zhao Yunchu squatted in the corner and watched Brother Yan sitting on the ground, touching the cat with one hand and feeding it with the other. The kitten's tongue licked Brother Yan's palm from time to time. feel bad.

He couldn't help comparing in the bottom of his heart. When it comes to treatment, everyone has eaten the meals cooked by Yan Ge'er, which is considered equal, but Yan Ge'er has never fed him.

It wasn't that Zhao Yunchu had to compare himself with the cat, but the cat reminded him of Zheng Xiaobao.

When he was playing at Brother Yan's house, Xiaobao was tired of picking up herbs during the day, so he sat there and refused to eat, saying he couldn't raise his hands. Brother Yan made the food and fed it to Xiaobao with a spoon.

Later Zhao Yunchu did the same, claiming to practice bow horses with his father, his arms were tired, he couldn't lift them up, and he couldn't eat. As a result, Brother Yan picked up the bowl—just when he was excited, Brother Yan poured the food in the bowl onto a plate, and said: This way, you can eat it without lowering your head, and wash your face after eating...

Thinking about this, Zhao Yunchu said sourly, "Brother Yan, it's okay to do it once or twice every now and then. It will spoil it all the time. How can it be given whatever it wants."

Yunyan said without turning her head, "I know, it's the same for you and me, and I can't get used to it."

Zhao Yunchu almost burst into tears, then you don't even treat me once or twice!

Yun Yanhui finished feeding the last bit of cat meal, wiped her hands with a towel, and went to the table to start writing the recipe.

Zhao Yunchu didn't know what he was writing and wanted to walk over to see it, but the cats lay on the table after they finished eating, playing with Brother Yan's wrist, and when he saw him walking this way, he immediately Stand up and bark.

Zhao Yunchu could only stay in the same place, probing his brain, "Brother Yan, what are you writing?"

"The recipe for breakfast," Yun Yan replied, "I heard you say to go to the court meeting, I remembered that I should enrich Shaoyin's breakfast, but he also attends the court meeting, and he will bring it in the cafeteria."

Bao Zheng is very easy-going. He eats and drinks with everyone in the cafeteria at noon, so Yun Yanhui didn't expect to upgrade the breakfast that Bao Zheng packed when he went to the court meeting. It seems that he is now dealing with two pancakes. a bit.

It's also that Yun Yanhui did not increase the variety of breakfast too much, but only improved the quality. Now that I think about it, I still want to enrich the variety.

This is not only because Bao Zheng is the boss, after all, Bao Da, he doesn't care if you are flattering or not. The main purpose is that officials in the court meeting are all officials, which will help Kaifeng House's cafeteria become famous...

As soon as Yun Yan had an idea, he wrote the recipe for a week in one go. All can be promoted in the cafeteria, the basic version can be eaten by everyone, and the more refined version depends on the grade.

After I finished writing, I went to the corner and showed it to Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yunchu held the recipe and read out the first one: "Youtiao...what is this?"

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no deep-fried dough sticks, but in the future, it will be a common breakfast. Before Yunyan returned to the past, if he got up early to interview, he would often carry two deep-fried dough sticks, go out without the soy sauce, and eat them on the road. Crispy and hungry.

"The practice in other places is a kind of fried fruit." Yun Yanhui said casually. Basically, when someone asks him where the new dishes come from, he can pass a foreign practice or what it looks like in the book.

Thanks to the lack of information at this time, no matter what he says, it is not easy to research. Because he has been in Daxiangguo Temple for so many years, and he is known to love food, no one will doubt it.

Zhao Yunchu was deeply jealous, "I want to eat too..."

"Then you make a copy and go back and ask the kitchen of your house to do it." Yun Yan looked back at him with a still unwilling look, and added, "I also gave it to the kitchen master to make it, why do you look so bad? It looks like I don't cook for you."

The meeting is so early, how could he get up earlier than Bao Zheng, make breakfast, and then go to work? That's too much work!

"No..." Zhao Yunchu quibble, "I just want to come to Kaifeng Mansion to eat with Brother Yan."

Yunyan replied: "Forget it, are you tired?"

……

At the 5th watch, the officials who participated in the court meeting and their entourage marched towards the imperial city on horses. In front of the horses was a white paper lantern with the official titles written on it. The lanterns traveled through the dark night, like clusters of fire floating out of thin air, and finally gathered outside the imperial city. This scene was called "the city of fire" by the people of the time.

It is impossible for officials from all directions to arrive at the same time, and they have to wait outside the imperial city to gather together. Therefore, there is a "waiting courtyard" outside the imperial city for officials to rest.

The number of officials and entourages is large, so the business of breakfast before leaving the hospital has always been good.

But there are also some officials who choose to bring their own breakfast. For example, Bao Zheng, he just asked the kitchen to make breakfast for him that day.

This morning, Bao Zheng led Bao Xing to the outside of the imperial city and entered the waiting courtyard to wait for the palace gate to open.

Many people in the waiting hospital are also eating breakfast, some bought it from outside, and some brought it by themselves.

Bao Xing took out an oiled paper bag, and then took out a square pot and a cloth bag from his waist. Inside the cloth bag was a silver bowl. The oil paper package was opened, and there were small pieces of browned cake-like food. Then, the soup in the square pot was poured into a silver bowl. Fortunately, Kaifeng Mansion was close to the imperial city, and the soup was still steaming all the way.

Bao Zheng looked at it and said in surprise: "What is this?"

Bao Xing said: "Lang Jun, this is the new breakfast in the cafeteria, newly added by Yan Geer. Today is baked bun slices and mushroom ham cream soup."

"Even the morning came up with new tricks?" Bao Zheng grabbed a piece of toasted steamed bun rather novelly and took a bite. The mouth felt crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and there was a crunching sound when he bit into it. .

Immediately, the aroma of eggs filled my mouth, and I could tell that it was sprinkled with pepper powder, sesame, salt and other seasonings, and it was really salty and sweet.

At this time, pick up the silver bowl and take a sip of the soup, which is also salty and sweet, with the sweet smell of butter, the salty taste of ham, and the soft and delicious mushrooms, each of which is full of soup The juice, when you bite it, blooms on the tip of your tongue. It is so delicious and delicate that you almost swallow your tongue.

One mouthful of baked steamed buns and another mouthful of hot soup, Bao Zheng felt that his whole body had recovered from the stiffness of waking up in the morning, and he ate his breakfast.

The officials sitting next to him watched silently.

……

The next day, Bao Xing took out two fried dough sticks and a pot of soy milk from his arms.

Bao Zheng eats fried dough sticks, crispy and soft...

……

On the third day, Bao Xing took out a bag of thick egg roast.

Bao Zheng eats thick egg fried, soft and smooth...

……

On the seventh day, Bao Xing went back with a bag of money and told Yun Yanhui: "Many officials called the servants to come to me and asked me where I bought it earlier. After knowing that it was made by the cafeteria, they called me. Bring an extra copy, and forcibly put the money on me..."

"I didn't expect that breakfast really opened up the situation first," Yun Yan looked back and thought, "Well, this is also a good thing, you have a good opportunity to earn purchasing fees." Those people can't make a detour to Kaifeng The government office, naturally, it is best to ask someone to buy it on your behalf.

"Purchase on your behalf?" Bao Xing thought for a while, "Does it mean buying on your behalf? I also think it's good, Lang Jun didn't say anything."

So, Bao Xing started a professional early shopping service, and he followed Bao Zheng to the court every day, which was considered to generate income for Kaifeng House.

However, with the increasing demand, Baoxing was overwhelmed and could only limit the quantity.

Finally one day, Bao Zheng came back from his court and said to Yun Yan dejectedly, "Today, Wang Xianggong found me."

Yunyan replied: "Huh?"

Wang Xianggong, Prime Minister Wang Qian, is it because he is making trouble with Bao Da?

Bao Zheng: "He asked me if I could help him buy a fritter in the cafeteria..."

Yunyan replied: "..."
