Chapter 60: Introducing Jade
"Wow~~ I didn't expect there to be a yard behind such a small pharmacy!" Jiang Yunfeng sighed and looked at the small courtyard in front of him, which is not spacious but has a cave, with an area of about 20 square meters, paved with bluestone, a white marble table is placed in the middle of the courtyard, with four stone benches carved with white marble, the courtyard is surrounded by whitewashed walls, the wall is decorated with glazed tiles, there is a row of turtle back bamboo planted at the root of the wall on the left, a well is located in the upper left corner, and the courtyard on the right half is lined with dried Chinese herbal medicines, which gives people an antique feeling as a whole.
"Come with me, move things!" Liang Heng beckoned Jiang Yunfeng to follow, walked to the right along the corridor, and pushed open a door head-on, inside was a fully equipped family kitchen, let Jiang Yunfeng take a table and a kitchen knife and cutting board to the yard to wait first, and he turned around and went out of the kitchen to the second floor to get something. After a while, he took the sewing box back to the yard, and instructed Erina Nagikiri and Shinto Scarlet to bring white radish, lettuce, and tender tofu from the fresh-keeping cabinet of the kitchen refrigerator, Liang Heng took out three needles of different sizes from the sewing box, inserted them on the table, and asked in turn, "Wear 5 radish threads in the largest needle hole, 4 lettuce threads in the sewing needle, and 3 tofu threads for the smallest embroidery needle, this is the first level." After that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen to bring tea and a few plates of refreshments, and put them on the stone table to greet the second daughter, "Girls, come and sit, let's drink tea and eat snacks and watch him cut." Although Erina and Scarlet Sand were very embarrassed, they couldn't help, so they could only sit on the stone table, Liang Heng smiled and was poured tea by the second daughter, pointing to a few plates of refreshments on the table and introduced, "This is the old man, I make nine plum words, using fresh Cantonese plum as raw materials, salted, rinsed, dried, impregnated, dried blanks, and finally sprayed with vanilla oil, which can be described as 'ten steamed and nine sunned, one plum in a few months', Erina, your grandfather loves me the most, you bring some back to the old guy." The other two are Soviet-style small square cakes and glutinous rice rolls, try them. Turning his head, he saw Jiang Yunfeng's eyes looking directly at the snacks on the table, and his face changed instantly, and he shouted, "Look at what!" Don't hurry up and get started! β
"Senpai, how can you do this? This is not a double standard, is it different, can I drink some tea and eat snacks before starting? β
"No! There are two such beautiful little girls watching you test, why don't you hurry up and behave, ah! Hurry up and get started! Liang Heng pointed at Jiang Yunfeng and shouted.
"Cut~" Jiang Yunfeng pouted unhappily, but looked at the worried and sorry eyes of Erina and Scarlet Shazi, sighed, took out a kitchen knife from the knife holder, picked up a white radish and divided it into three sections, took the fullest section in the middle, peeled and trimmed, and then put it on the cutting board, gently pressed it with his left hand, and slowly cut it with the knife in his right hand, and put down a layer of radish slices as thin as cicada wings and put them on the cutting board, the kitchen knife was dipped in water, and in the sound of the bright and rhythmic kitchen knife hitting the cutting board, Jiang Yunfeng completed the first group of shredded radish, Put down the kitchen knife, select 5 of them and start threading the needle, "No, it's too thick" When the needle hole was already stuffed when it reached the 3rd one, Jiang Yunfeng threw away the shredded radish, adjusted the gap between the knives and cut a new group, but this time it was still thick, and he could only barely stuff 4 into it. After five adjustments, he finally succeeded in passing through 5 shredded radishes in the first needle, Jiang Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the mobile phone on the desktop, and now realized that at three o'clock in the afternoon, it took him more than an hour just to cut shredded radish. ,There's a needle in the back.,The difficulty is more perverted than the other.,I have to hurry up.,Although this dead old man has been joking with his sister.,Didn't explain the test time.,But if it's dark, if you don't finish it, then you're in big trouble.,If you're driven back.,How will I face Erina and Scarlet Sand in the future.γ Hurry. Jiang Yunfeng grabbed the lettuce and began to slice it, today God seems to have joined the FFF group, hating Jiang Yunfeng who took two beautiful girls to show off, and a rapid autumn rain fell at the right time, Liang Heng commanded Erina and Scarlet Shazi to quickly bring the dried Chinese medicine back to the store, Jiang Yunfeng also held his head in his hands, ready to run back to the store to hide from the rain, Liang Heng stopped Jiang Yunfeng and said, "Are you going to give up?" It's good that you can get back to Tokyo before dark, so let's get on the road. The second daughter was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Jiang Yunfeng in surprise, Jiang Yunfeng smiled embarrassedly, "Senior, it's raining, I'm just here to hide from the rain." "Can't you chop vegetables when it's raining?" Are you so delicate? Liang Heng looked at Jiang Yunfeng's eyes and asked, "Uh... Jiang Yunfeng glanced at Liang Heng deeply, turned around and walked back to the cutting board, braving the cold autumn rain to continue to complete the first round of testing. Liang Heng smiled casually at the corner of his mouth, and also turned to go upstairs.
Erina Nagi looked at Jiang Yunfeng, who had been completely soaked by the autumn rain and was still insisting, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, it was an indescribable sense of guilt, originally Jiang Yunfeng could now stay in the warm dormitory of Polar Star Liao with peace of mind, playing online games, watching his favorite anime. But because of his willfulness, he is now braving the rain and soaking wet in the wind and rain to chop vegetables, just so that Scarlet Sand can get the guidance of Liang Heng's predecessors. Shinto Scarlet returned to Erina with an umbrella and a towel, Erina took the towel and came to Jiang Yunfeng with the umbrella Scarlet, Liang Heng stood in the corridor on the second floor and said loudly to the courtyard, "You can't help him!" Otherwise, the test will fail! The second daughter bit her lip tightly, looked at Jiang Yunfeng and looked at Liang Heng, and fell into a dilemma for a while, "It's okay, you go back first, the autumn rain is very humid, and it is not good for the girl's health." Jiang Yunfeng grinned with big white teeth. Erina and Scarlet could only nod and return to the hallway to sit on the bench and watch quietly, waiting.
On the second floor, Liang Heng watched Jiang Yunfeng put on a sewing needle and was cutting tofu shreds, so he took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket and dialed a number. A majestic voice came from the phone: "They're there?" β
"That's right, your precious granddaughter is safe with me," Liang Heng replied,
"Oh, just call me now, it looks like you agree to give me advice."
Liang Heng's eyes were full of sadness, and he said bitterly, "If it wasn't for my mouth and what I shouldn't have said, the fifth child would not have died, and I wouldn't want to teach people anymore after the fight." β
"Hey~~~ For that incident, I'm an outsider can't say anything, but after all, it's been almost 50 years, you should let go, the scarlet sand is what I watched grow up, and the new family is also a family of medicinal diets that have served the Nagi family for generations, and in modern times, it is also a withered talent, and it is difficult to produce this gifted child, so you can pass on what you have learned, otherwise how will you and I face that adult one day."
Liang Heng looked at Jiang Yunfeng, who was trying to wear embroidery needles with chopsticks with chopsticks in the rain, and said with a smile, "That girl from Scarlet Shazi, I can see that she is a good seedling, but I won't teach her so easily." β
"Are you going to torture her?"
"How is that possible! How could I torture a little girl, you think I'm your kind of ghost! β
"Cut! You're a old man, and you're embarrassed to talk about me! I see, then Scarlet Sand will leave it to you. β
"Good!" Liang Heng ended the call and put away his phone. Far away in Tokyo, in the office of the marshal of Nagi Kirita, Nagi Senzaemon also put down the phone, got up and walked to the hanging window, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and whispered, "I want to kidnap my precious granddaughter so easily, no way!" Let you now taste what grandpa's wrath is! β
Jiang Yunfeng was shot down by raindrops as soon as he picked up the shredded tofu with chopsticks, and his heart began to be impatient inexplicably, at this time Liang Heng walked downstairs slowly, don't walk and say, "Be calm, hand and eye are one." Jiang Yunfeng took a deep breath, calmed his restless heart, held the tofu silk with chopsticks in his right hand, and blocked the falling raindrops with his left hand, completing the threading of the third embroidery needle.
Liang Heng smiled and said, "You have passed the first level, then start the second level, you make a dish, the form is not limited, the materials here are as you like, don't use anything shoddy to fool me!" Tomorrow dawn and I'm going to see the results! Girls, it's getting dark, there's a guest room upstairs, so you can rest with me tonight. β
Jiang Yunfeng took the towel, wiped the rain on his face, didn't care about changing his clothes, ran directly to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, there were no valuable ingredients in it, there was a goose in the frozen layer, and there was a bowl of soybeans soaked on the stove, it was estimated that Liang Heng forgot to use it to make soy milk. I immediately had a recipe in my heart, took the goose out of the refrigerator and thawed it in the sink, poured the soaked soybeans into the pressure cooker with water and heated them, turned over and left the kitchen and came to the front hall pharmacy to ask for Liang Heng's consent, and with the help of Erina and Scarlet Shazi, I picked up anise, cumin, male ding, female cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, sand gods, kaempfera, licorice, ginger, eggplant, white seeds, dried pine, tangerine peel, cinnamon, Guan Gui, star anise, orange peel, white cardamom, angelica, grass fruit, thyme, pai grass and other spices and herbs and brought back to the kitchen. Pour a little oil into the wok and heat, then to the sugar, slowly turn into sugar water over low heat, at this time the pressure cooker has been close to the gas for a period of time, decompress from the fire, put the soup pot and add water to the high heat and wait for it to boil, the sugar water is out of the pot and put aside for standby, the pressure cooker is relieved, filter out the soybean juice with a strainer, mash all the spices brought back with a stone mortar, take out a piece of gauze and throw it into the soup pot, add the sugar water and soybean juice prepared in advance, put in the appropriate amount of salt, it should have used the stock, But the conditions are limited, so Jiang Yunfeng can only use thick soup to replace, thaw the goose knife, wash the abdominal cavity, cut off the flippers, blanch the water first to remove the blood impurities, and stew in the brine pot. It was already completely dark outsideγγγγγ (To be continued)
