Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 30: Door Nail Meatloaf
Ning Xi is very calm. The worst result is that she can't get any compensation. As a victim, she can't be caught and sent to jail! Therefore, her attitude is not arrogant or inferior, and she can talk calmly about what Mr. Huang asks her. Jun Shaofeng, who is sitting above, can't help nodding and smiling when she sees her. The fifth brother really did not see the wrong person. The girl is really interesting.
Feeling the gaze on him from above, Ning Xi looked up and saw that it was Prince Qi, and he smiled smugly. , thanks to us, we have greeted you with delicious food and drink for so many days, what an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! I couldn't hold back the knife and threw it away.
Jun Shaofeng was inexplicably stared at by her, she thought, little girl, this prince is here to support you, what do you mean by that look? After a moment of anger, he stared back again.
An Mingyue saw two people flirting with each other in front of her, and she jumped with anger: "Master Huang, this restaurant is shoddy and defrauding customers. I just smashed her shop because I couldn't see it. Yes, you must be punished severely."
Ning Xi said: "Ms. An, you have to tell evidence in this court. The neighbors near the restaurant have seen it with their own eyes. You brought a group of you here, but you didn't even enter the door of our restaurant. Just do it directly, dare to ask where did Miss An see that this restaurant is shoddy and defrauding customers?" After speaking, she turned and bowed to Lord Huang, "Sir, as for the reputation of this restaurant, you can call me whatever you want. Diners who have eaten at our restaurant will know by asking.”
Master Huang had already made a decision in his heart. Looking for a few witnesses was just a passing scene. The result of the trial was soon announced. An Mingyue committed the murder of the slaves. On the 5th, Anfu compensated Shuangxi Restaurant for 2,000 taels of silver, and ordered An Mingyue to personally come to Ningxi to make amends.
After the announcement, Mr. Huang also looked at Jun Shaofeng's face, and when he saw that he nodded slightly, he was relieved. Ning Xi was taken aback, no matter what, she never expected such an outcome, she glanced at Jun Shaofeng doubtfully, only to see that guy smiled at her smugly, and asked her with his mouth: "Are you satisfied? ?"
Crazy, Ning Xi thought, is it fun to do this kind of thing with a stick and a sweet jujube? Rich people are boring.
An Mingyue can't do it anymore: "You dare to hit my people? Why, the surname is Huang, you wait for me, you are beautiful!" She has decided to run to her grandfather as soon as she gets home I had a good cry in front of him, to see if he, Jing Zhaoyin, could make it to the New Year.
Master Huang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an apologetic smile: "Miss An, this is what the General Commander said."
An Mingyue asked suspiciously: "What? My father?"
"Exactly. Otherwise, the subordinate officials would not dare to make such a judgment if they had eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard!"
"Impossible!" An Mingyue went home angrily.
But he said that Song Tianshun went to Ningxi's house after lunch to help, but when he arrived at the door, he found that General Tie was holding the door. He didn't know where he was going, so he hurriedly asked his neighbors to find out. They said that he was taken away by people from the yamen. Song Tianshun panicked all of a sudden, shouldn't something happen?
Don't care about anything and rush to the direction of the government office. Even if it can't help, it's good to go and give them courage. Thinking of the fact that two delicate and weak girls were caught in the government office. It's a gloomy place, I'm afraid I'm afraid to cry!
I didn't expect to see Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang walking back happily, arm in arm, when they were halfway through, they hurriedly walked over and said, "Miss Ning, Miss Meng, are you all right?"
Meng Shuangshuang said with a smile: "Brother Song, we are fine, Jing Zhaoyin Huang is a good official, and he doesn't bend the law at all. Not only did he not embarrass us, but he also let the eldest lady who smashed our restaurant pay us a lot. As for the money, we have the money to reopen the restaurant!"
"Really? That's really good." Hearing the result, Song Tianshun was also very happy for them, "Then are you going to set up a stall at the night market tonight?"
"Go, there's nothing to do anyway. Besides, the ingredients are already bought early in the morning, what a waste!" Ning Xi has a restless temperament. She couldn't give up other possibilities for a day.
On the way back, I happened to meet someone selling beef. Meng Shuangshuang was greedy when he saw it: "Ningxi, I have eaten a lot of meat you made, but I really haven't eaten much beef!" It’s really hard to come by. Unlike other pigs and sheep, some people raise and kill them to sell meat. Usually, people who farm in the countryside raise cattle for farming. Take it out and kill it and sell it, but the meat of this kind of beef is generally old. People here don’t like to eat meat, let alone these old, tough and irritating beef, so they can’t sell anything at all. For the price, many people are simply too lazy to take it out and sell it.
Ning Xi naturally understood what Meng Shuangshuang meant. She smiled and asked the price, which was so cheap that it made people feel sorry. Taking advantage of Song Tianshun, a coolie, she bought a large piece of beef. The beef seller was so happy to see her. He built two big sticks and asked Song Tianshun to help carry them back together.
Bought rare ingredients, Ning Xi rolled up his sleeves and started to work excitedly as soon as he got home.
The big stick bones were salted first, and then boiled a pot of thick beef bone soup. This is the soup base of Taipingyan tonight. In addition, I threw a few pieces of pork leg to Song Tianshun and asked him to stand aside. Knock and go, Ning Xi is going to make radish and beef brisket next.
She bought beef belly with ribs and fat, cut it into large pieces, boiled it in boiling water for a while, then rinsed it with cold water, rubbed vigorously, and rinsed the blood. Meng Shuangshuang helped her to heat the pot. Ning Xi didn't put any oil in it, but put the beef brisket in the pot and fry it until it was dry. In addition, the radish was also cut into large pieces and cooked for later use.
Then start it again, add oil, **** and garlic to fry for a while, add star anise, pepper and sand ginger, then pour in the dried beef brisket and stir fry, add boiled and drained radish, splash in rice wine, add Brown sugar, rock sugar, and then pour a few large bowls of water to submerge the brisket and radish.
After the fire is boiled, put in the ingredients such as licorice, bay leaves, grass fruits, fennel, cinnamon, dried tangerine peel, and Luo Han Guo, add soy sauce, and simmer slowly. Continue to cook for another quarter of an hour, then stop the fire, and repeat this several times until the brisket is soft and palatable. Finally, add salt, skim off the oil slick on the surface, and pick out the ingredients inside and throw away.
Smelling this rich and seductive aroma, Song Tianshun felt itchy, and wanted to see how she did it, but he followed the rules and turned his back to work, not daring to peek at all. Seeing him like this, Ning Xi laughed: "Brother Song, it's alright, just watch it, if you can learn it better, you will be able to add new varieties to your Luwei stalls in the future. In fact, it's cold in the night market. It’s better to sell this, but it’s not easy to buy beef, I’m afraid it won’t be able to sell it for a long time.”
Some words made Song Tianshun blushed: "This, this is Miss Ning's cooking skills, how can I take it for myself?"
"Don't worry, Brother Song, I have a lot of cooking skills. Come and come, I also want to make a door nail patty. Come and watch, I will need your help later!"
This time I used the fat and thin tender meat on the back of the cow's neck. Song Tianshun helped chop it up first. Add onion and ginger, and adjust the taste with soy sauce and sesame oil. The dough is wrapped into a pie more than one inch in diameter and an inch and a half thick, like a big thick chess piece, and like a door nail on the door of a big family, so it is called a door nail patty. Finally, it was fried in oil, and the smell was fragrant, and the mouth was full of meaty aroma. It was soft and chewy, and there was no smell of beef.
"Let's eat this tonight. If we can't finish it, we will sell it at the night market. By the way, Brother Song, you can bring some to Sister Zhou as well." Ning Xi said.
Song Tianshun chewed a meat patty in his mouth: "It's so embarrassing to eat and take."
"I'm sorry, you did it with all your energy, come and eat a few more while it's still hot."
An Mingyue went back to make a fuss. Although Mrs. An felt distressed, she still resolutely told her to listen to her father's words and obediently apologize to others. After being persuaded by General An to go on a picnic in Zhuangzi to relax, he couldn't care about her for a while. An Mingyue had no choice but to let someone bring money and personally go to Xicheng to find Ningxi.
The alley where Ningxi and the others lived was too small, and the large carriages of the An Mansion could not enter. What a **** of a place to live in! It's so dirty and smelly!"
Suddenly stopped: "What's the smell?" The servants next to him also smelled: "Miss, it seems to be the aroma of cooking."
"Hmph, what delicious food can these poor **** make?" That's what she said, but An Mingyue still couldn't walk, and the smell was too tempting, she just felt that her body fluids kept going. The ground came out from under the tongue. I didn't feel hungry at first, but now I feel very empty in my stomach, I really want to eat, I really want to eat.
An Mingyue casually pointed at someone: "You, go and find out who made it, buy it for me, hurry up, I'll eat it as soon as I finish delivering the money." After walking for a while, I found that the man was still following me, "What's the matter, go find it!"
"Reporting to Miss, the servant thinks that the aroma is coming from this direction. The servant didn't follow Miss on purpose."
An Mingyue wrinkled her nose and sniffed carefully: "Well, let's go!"
