Han Deshui lowered his head, his gaze penetrated through the gap in the curtain, and looked coldly at the vases that fell to the ground.

"What are you still doing? Wait for the master, will I whip you? Master Han rushed to the door, the anger in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and he didn't want to hide it.

Han Deshui didn't speak, turned around and left.

In the temple, Bai Ze went around the wall to the main gate, and from the main gate to the wall, holding a broom in his hand, but he didn't sweep the floor, just covered his stomach with a sad face, and from time to time he could hear the grunting sound coming from his stomach.

"Are you practicing?" Taking advantage of the fact that the rain was getting lighter, Bai Li hurriedly went out to buy some things, and when he came back, he saw Bai Ze squatting at the gate of the temple with a broom.

Stretching out his hand and shaking it in front of Bai Ze's eyes, Bai Li leaned over and said, "Are you practicing with a broom, or is that thing hiding in the temple showing up?" You're using a broom as a weapon, preparing to subdue demons, aren't you? This broom star, broom star, is not what you are now? ”

"Li'er, everyone is going to starve to death. Listen, listen to my belly grunting. I'm so hungry, how can you still have the heart to make a joke on me. ”

"If you're hungry, go eat, it won't be long before the spring feast arrives from here. Well, now that the rain is light, you don't need an umbrella. Bai Li folded the red umbrella in his hand and brought it into the temple: "If you can't finish eating, pack it and bring it back, young man, don't waste it." ”

"Li'er, didn't you just go out to buy groceries?"

"Don't you say that I forgot, this is the remaining silver taels, which should be enough for you to eat at the spring banquet." Bai Li took off the small purse and handed it to Bai Ze: "Save some flowers, I'm done with one meal, and I don't know if there is one next meal." ”

"Li'er really knows how to live, then I won't go out to eat, I'll stay and eat Li'er's own cooking, okay?" Bai Ze diligently took the things in Bai Li's hand: "There is a kitchen behind this, although it is not commonly used, but there are all the things that should be there." I'll help you carry the things over first, don't worry, I'll wash what should be washed, and I'll carefully remove the skin if it should be peeled, I promise to do a good job of helping the cook, don't ask Li'er to bother you with a little effort. ”

"I didn't buy your food."

"I'll just eat yours, don't worry, I don't eat much, I eat very little." Bai Ze grinned, deliberately pretended not to hear the meaning of Bai Li's words, and went to the backyard kitchen with the basket.

Bai Li shook his head and rolled up his two sleeves: "My cooking skills are not good, you really don't want to go to the spring banquet to eat something good." ”

"Who said that my Li'er's cooking is not delicious, my Li'er's cooking is the best." Bai Ze took out a whole piece of pork from the basket: "Li'er, don't worry, my stomach is born according to Li'er's craftsmanship, no matter what Li'er eats, it likes it." ”

"Is this a local love story? Why does it sound so disgusting. Bai Li cleaned his hand, took the piece of pork from Bai Ze's hand, and looked at it carefully: "Forget it, for your sake of deliberately currying favor with me, I will reluctantly cook you a meal to eat." ”

"Li'er, you're so nice!" Bai Ze wanted to hug Bai Li's arm, but was frightened away by the kitchen knife in her hand. He smiled, pointed to the pork in Bai Li's hand and asked, "Are you planning to fry meat?" ”

"This piece of meat is not delicious, and it is okay to make a lion's head."

"Lion's head? Li'er, how are you going to make a piece of pork into a lion's head? ”

"Not as a lion's head, but as a lion's head. This lion's head is a very traditional dish with a fluffy taste, fat but not greasy, and rich in nutrients. The most important thing is that there are various methods, which can be braised or steamed, which is fragrant and delicious, and very delicious. ”

"Li'er, don't say it, if you keep talking, the gluttonous worm in my stomach will jump out."

"It's good to jump out, I just haven't seen it." Bai Li washes the meat, cuts off the pork skin with his hands and feet, then cuts the meat into slices, cuts the meat into shredded meat, and finally cuts the shredded meat into diced meat the size of pomegranate seeds. Then, take out two bowls and stir the diced fat and lean meat together, stirring while adding cornstarch, cooking wine and various seasonings until they thicken and sticky, and then knead them into fist-sized meatballs with your hands.

"Don't look at the simplicity of this dish, and it doesn't seem to be anything remarkable when you look at the process, but this lion's head is recorded in the "Book of Food". It is said that a long time ago, an emperor brought his concubines to play among the people, and the prefectures and counties he passed through had to be entertained with delicious food. This is the emperor, he has not eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, which is sad to the local officials. In order to make the emperor eat happily and satisfied, these officials racked their brains, and almost arrested all the cooks in their jurisdiction and forced them to give themselves ideas. ”

"And then?" Bai Ze listened with relish.

Later, someone made this lion's head for the emperor, and the emperor ate the dragon's heart and was so happy that he promoted a small sesame official to a four-grade member. Well, if you think about it, even the emperor, who is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, said that the lion's head is good, can it not be delicious, not delicious? ”

"It's not necessarily delicious, maybe the emperor hasn't eaten it before, and it's rare to eat a fresh, so I think it's good." Bai Ze whispered, and when he saw Bai Li's eyes sweeping over, he quickly changed his words: "I said nonsense, Li'er, you shouldn't have heard it." It doesn't matter if the emperor thinks it's delicious or not, the important thing is that Li'er thinks it's delicious, then this lion's head must be delicious. ”

The soup spoon that had just been raised fell down after listening to what Bai Ze said, "For the sake of your strong desire to survive, I will circle you this time." Oh, when you see the meat skins over there, spread them on the bottom of the casserole, then wash two cabbage leaves, spread the leaves on the skin, put the meatballs I just kneaded on top, pour the boiling water along the edge of the casserole, and be careful not to pour them directly on the meatballs. ”

"And then?"

"Cover the pot, simmer over low heat, and when you smell a fragrance spreading from this casserole, it means that the dish is ready to eat."

"Is this dish braised or steamed?"

"No, it's stewed. It's too troublesome to braise it, and it's too troublesome to steam, so it's just stewed. You can rest assured that although the method is different, the degree of deliciousness is the same. Besides, with our living conditions, it is already excellent to have a stewed lion's head to eat. Well, I'll give you a fruit to eat and soothe the little crattle in your stomach. ”

"Li'er, you're so nice, I know you're the person who cares about me the most in this Huaxi town." Bai Zecai took the fruit from Bai Li's hand, and was about to take a bite when he heard someone shouting outside, "Is Mr. Bai here?" I am the housekeeper of the Han Mansion and would like to invite Mr. Bai to come over. ”
