The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 72: The first Kaifeng House Mid-Autumn Festival

Because of Zhou Renai's insistence, Yun Yanhui had no choice but to stay out of the show for the time being, and went to the backyard to watch.

The high platform is placed in the yard opposite the site, across the house, and this side is the natural backstage. For this performance, Zhou Shuiniang, the oiran lady under Zhou Renai's hands, rehearsed for more than half a month and almost gave up.

But Zhou Renai said that this floating dance can also be used in their performances in the future. It will definitely attract attention. Even if you don't go to this Mid-Autumn Festival party, you have to practice it well.

After a dance ended, Shui Niang slowly fell and disappeared behind the roof, only to hear a sigh from the audience over there.

The citizens outside can't see it, but they are closer, but they can vaguely see the peerless face of this "Fairy Chang'e". With this scene, it really coincides with the figure of Fairy Moon Palace in the past.

It was after this performance that people in Bianjing began to call Shui Niang Xiao Chang'e.

The backstage staff controlled the axles and lowered the iron rope wrapped in cloth at a constant speed. Shui Niang landed on both feet and was supported by Zhou Renai, untied the straps tied to her body, patted her chest and said: "How's it going? Are my movements stiff? When the wind blows on it, my heart will jump out!"

"No, very good..." Zhou Renai hugged Shui Niang, very excited, probably because she thought that Shui Niang's worth would soar after tonight.

Yun Yanhui also smiled, "I don't see that you are nervous at all, you are very beautiful, did you hear the applause from the front?"

Shui Niang blushed and greeted Yun Yan, "Thank you, Uncle Yan."

Zhou Renai is not the only daughter who can dance, she was chosen by Yunyan. Shui Niang didn't feel it before, but when she saw the effect of the scene, she was completely convinced that this occasion tonight , Even if it is a newcomer, as long as the dance is not wrong, it will become popular.

Yunyan avoided and did not accept the full ceremony, "You are welcome, you have worked hard these days."

Dancing on the ground and tying in the air, and having to cooperate with the lifting movements, the difficulty is not the same. This girl has suffered a lot, and the effect presented is better than he imagined.

Yunyan called back and sent a table of noodles to the backstage for them to eat alone, while she had to sit outside.

Yun Yanhui took Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu to the table in Tianqing Temple, and in addition to the officials of the "National Religious Management Association", there were also the old Taoist priests in the temple, who smiled back at Yunyan, " Today's meeting is really good, Yan Ge'er must have lost a lot of heart."

They didn't know it was Yun Yanhui's idea for the arrangement of the song and dance, so naturally they all picked up the seats to praise him.

Yunyan thanked her with a smile, "Then everyone eat more today, but unfortunately we have to take turns tonight, so we can't drink, otherwise drinking wine and watching the moon will be beautiful, right?"

"This is already very good, just now Chang E flying to the moon is really not like the scene in the world!" Lao Dao squeezed his beard with a look of intoxication.

"It's a pity, I knew the effect was so good, I should have pushed the show a little bit later." This is Yun Yanhui's only regret. Now they are already continuing other performances, but people are still immersed in the previous performance. in dance.

However, the personnel affairs can never be perfect, so Yun Yanhui only regretted it for a while, and then greeted Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu for a meal.

There are ten dishes and five fruits on the table. In the middle is a plate of moon balls, which are made into the shape of diamond flowers, with puff pastry and different fillings. In addition to the common banquet dishes, there are flavor dishes such as crab stuffed with orange, snail stuffed with meat, and taro, which are specially made for this party and are not available on weekdays.

Crawfish stuffed with oranges is to cut off the top of the oranges, dig out the flesh and use it as a cup, then take out the crab meat and yellow paste of the crab, add minced ginger, pepper, etc. to fry until fragrant, then fill it into the orange cup, add For a chrysanthemum, cover it with an orange and steam it with wine vinegar and water for a few minutes.

This crab stuffed orange was originally a court dish in the Southern Song Dynasty. Now that Yunyan returned to the table in Kaifeng Mansion, he still amazed the diners.

Yun Yanhui opened a crab stuffed orange. The aroma of orange mixed with the aroma of crab and wine came out, but there was no fishy smell. You can also sprinkle some fine salt on it.

There is a silver spoon on the side, all borrowed from the wine house. It is used to dig the crab meat entrance. It is full of fresh and slightly salty taste. It is carefully tasted, and there is a faint fragrance of chrysanthemum.

When making it, I specially reserved some orange juice as the base. The sweet and sour orange juice blended into the cream yellow, and the two originally unrelated foods were blended very skillfully. The orange juice was soothing and fragrant.

Zheng Ling finished eating a crab-stuffed orange in two bites, and was very moved, "Fortunately, I came today, and I have to escape, otherwise, I will not be able to enjoy the blessings of eyes and mouth."

Zhao Yunchu sneered: "Be careful when you go back and get caught."

Zheng Ling pondered for a while, then replied to Yun Yan: "Brother Yan, give me some crab-stuffed oranges when I leave, I'll just say I'm filial and go to find something delicious for my aunt. "

Yunyan replied: "...Okay."

As the saying goes, watch the sun in August, and eat snails. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the snails are empty and there are no small snails in the abdomen. The meat quality is particularly good. Now is a good time to eat snail meat. Eating taro has the meaning of eliminating disasters and warding off evil spirits.

It's just that these two practices are not the same as the popular ones.

Folks usually cook taro and fry snails, but Yun Yanhui's menu is stuffed with snails and taro.

The snail stuffed meat is minced pork, and the snail meat is also taken out and washed. After mincing, stir well with minced pork, chopped green onion, egg, soy sauce, and **** juice. Add gorgonian powder to taste, mix well and fill it back into the snail shell. medium, add seasoning and cook.

It takes a lot of effort to pull the silk taro. The silk dish has always tested the heat. It originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but it was widely circulated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Also practiced for a long time.

Yunyan Hui only knows the theoretical knowledge, and has seen and eaten it, but has never done it, so at the beginning, he prepared this dish with the mentality that it would not be successful.

The taro is peeled first, cut into small pieces, and then fried in a frying pan before taking out. At this time, it is necessary to fry the sugar, and the cabbage is made from the syrup that can pull out the silk, so this step is very important.

After the oil is hot, pour in the sugar, stir fry until the sugar melts and the color is yellow but not burnt. At this time, the taro can be hung with syrup, and a layer of syrup can be evenly hung before serving.

There is a bowl of water next to each plate of taro, so that the utensils can be dipped in water to get the taro, which is free of syrup. Hanging with syrup, when the crystal clear taro was picked up, strands of sugar were implicated, and everyone took it together, and the silver threads flew all over the seat. The scene was really fun.

Zhao Yunchu took a piece of taro, and the mouth was full of sweetness at first, and then it was too hot.

Yunyan back and silently poured cold water on him, "The temperature is too high, don't eat like this, dip it in some water."

Zhao Yunchu tearfully dipped the taro in cold water, the syrup hardened and crunched in his mouth. This is another flavor, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside.

Yun Yanhui's colleague sighed: "Since Yan Ge'er is in charge of the public kitchen, our life has been getting better and better. I don't think we can make these dishes in the ban."

"It's definitely possible to do it, but I just can't think of it." Another person interjected, "This dish is rare in his mind, just like tonight's dance to the moon, and I don't know whose idea it was to make the Moon Palace have been moved to the world."

Isn't this the one in front of you...

Yunyan brought back a cup of tea, "Don't talk about that, today is the festival, I will use tea instead of wine, I wish you a happy holiday!"

"This congratulatory speech is too vulgar," the old Taoist raised his head and thought for a while, "but the vulgar is the elegant, it's done!"

Yunyan returned here to push a cup and send a cup, and there was another round of new programs on the stage.

The four strong men jumped on the stage with their shoulders hooked, and started to sing: "Watch the meteor shower with you, and land on this earth-"

Yunyan replied: "..."

The people below are all stunned, wondering what happened.

It's obviously a very high-level party, but the sudden appearance of such an unsightly performance made everyone a little baffled.

Yunyan almost broke down in a cold sweat. The four above are Kaifeng Mansion F4, Chao Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. He admitted that he taught them to sing "Meteor Shower" when he was bored. It was all out of evil. Interesting, but he really didn't arrange for these four people to perform!

Furthermore, it was obvious that these four people complained about the song when they were learning the song...

The aesthetics at this time can't accept this kind of song, and when they sing it, it's even worse! Also out of tune!

Yunyan is so anxious to return, the Mid-Autumn Festival party that I have carefully prepared!

He quickly stood up, grabbed the orange peel of a freshly eaten crab-stuffed orange, and threw it on the stage, "Get down!"

After a moment of silence, countless orange peels were thrown from all directions, hitting the four people's heads, and Kaifeng Mansion f4 had no choice but to rush down the stage.

At this time, a little lady holding a pipa walked onto the stage pitifully, plucked the strings lightly, and sang the song "Showers Beats the New Lotus", which was melodious and melodious, and the audience calmed down.

Yunyan angrily went to Wang, Ma, Zhang, and Zhao, and found that the faces of the four were flushed. After asking their classmates, they knew that they had just finished their shift, so they ate wine, and the result was probably too much performance. It's good-looking, but it's actually drunk. If you're drunk, don't you go crazy with alcohol?

Yun Yanhui couldn't even bother with the drunk, so she scolded the four unconscious people with her jumping feet, but she didn't respond.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Bao Zhengchong, the chief, beckoning here, and Yun Yan rushed over to him, "Shao Yin, what's the matter?"

He was a little uneasy, didn't he want to ask about the four just now?

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "I compliment you, the banquet was well organized, the moon has moved here, and Chang E has also descended to earth, I think, I will not dare to go to the morning court tomorrow, I don't know how many people will hold me back. Ask carefully."

Yunyan smiled back: "Shaoyin believes me, I naturally want to repay the party by running the party well. And our brothers in Kaifeng House have worked hard, the workload is so heavy, that's all I can do. Now, everyone is happy to watch and eat well."

Bao Zheng was very satisfied with his arrogant and unrestrained attitude, and sighed: "I also toast you with tea instead of wine. My Kaifeng mansion has a new look with Yan Geer."

"I just did some minor work." Yun Yanhui clinked glasses with Bao Zheng, ate a cup of tea, and his work was recognized. He didn't take the troubles of the four reckless men to heart, and was happy sat back.
