Chapter 56 Entertaining Lin Xiuhan

Gu Yu felt that his prince was a little unhappy and said, "Probably not. However, there are always new things happening here, Mr. Chu, so it is not surprising that he attracted Lin Xiuhan. After all, he is the parent official of Hui'an County.

It is said that a few days ago, he asked the imperial court for a reward from Carpenter Wang, who made the water cart. This must be Master Chu's request to give up the credit. Then Lin Xiuhan must have known Master Chu for a long time."

Xiao Yilin knew Lin Xiuhan. Lin Xiuhan was the second son of Lin Jiafang, a wealthy family in the capital. He was also quite famous in the capital and was a erudite and talented young man.

Gu Yu continued: "Although Lin Xiuhan comes from the Lin family, there are many outstanding children from the direct branches of the Lin family, and the competition is fierce. It is said that Lin Xiuhan is indifferent by nature and is unwilling to compete with his brothers at home for opportunities and voluntarily left the capital.

He came to the relatively remote Hui'an County to be the county magistrate. Judging from his behavior during the time he came to Hui'an County, he was considered a good official."

Xiao Yilin nodded, "I hope so. With Lin Xiuhan's support, Mr. Chu's place will be more stable."

With brother and sister Qiao Hong helping Jingyi cook, a rich aroma soon came out of the kitchen.

Feng Zhi sniffed, "Mr. Chu must be making braised pork again today. Mr. Lin is so lucky to have Mr. Chu cook delicious food for him."

Xiao Yilin frowned slightly when he heard this, and continued to read the book in his hand, but he couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin Xiuhan and Wang Xuhuai in the living room couldn't sit still. It was so fragrant. They didn't know what dish was so fragrant. It must be meat.

This is the first time Jingyi has made sweet and sour pork ribs. Add soy sauce and other seasonings to marinate the ribs, put them into a pot and deep-fry until golden brown. Then put all the ribs into the pot, pour in the water used to marinate the ribs, and a few spoons of sugar.

, bring a bowl of broth to a boil over high heat, then add half a spoonful of salt to enhance the flavor. Then simmer over low heat for ten minutes and then over high heat to reduce the juice. When the juice is reduced, add a spoonful of vinegar at the end, and the sweet and sour taste will come out. When it is ready to be taken out of the pot,

Sprinkle some chopped green onions.

The meat of the cooked sweet and sour pork ribs is fresh and tender, and the color of the finished dish is bright red and oily. The sight of it makes people appetite. Jingyi tasted a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. Although it was not the best, it was still delicious.

There were many people in the family, so the sweet and sour pork ribs were divided into several portions, so Jingyi cooked more of them. The two pork ribs in the family looked like a lot, and they were all eaten in these two meals.

The sweet and sour pork ribs were ready, and the braised pork was almost done, so Jingyi started to stir-fry other dishes. The last thing was the pork meatball soup.

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to clear the table in the living room and then start serving food.

The dishes were served one after another, and the aroma was fragrant. Lin Xiuhan looked at the food on the table and found that he had never seen any of them before. He asked Village Chief Wang, who also shook his head, "This is the first time I have seen these dishes."

Lin Xiuhan believed that he had seen the world. He had attended many banquets in the palace, but he had never seen such dishes on the table. Could it be that only people in the countryside eat this?

But looking at these dishes that looked so tempting, and they were all meat dishes, how could it be possible that people in the countryside could afford to eat them? He knew that farmers in the countryside could not eat meat more than a few times a year.

Is that a special dish from Mr. Chu’s hometown? I think it’s impossible.

After the last dish of meatball soup was served, Jingyi arranged the meals for Prince Jing and others before washing his face and accompanying the guests.

Village Chief Wang pulled Jing Yi and said: "Jing Yan, what kind of dishes are these? I have never seen them before. Tell us quickly."

Previously, wine was among the things sent by Prince Jing's Mansion. Today, Jingyi borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and brought out a jar to entertain the guests.

Jing Yi sat at the table and poured wine for Lin Xiuhan and Village Chief Wang and said, "I came up with these all by myself. This dish is braised pork, this is sweet and sour pork ribs, pot pork loin, mu shu pork,

This is pork meatball soup. Mr. Lin, Uncle Wang, try it and see if it tastes good."

Seeing that both of them were waiting for him to use their chopsticks, Lin Xiuhan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with his chopsticks.

The pork ribs are tender, sour and sweet, and have the aroma of meat. It is so delicious. Lin Xiuhan thinks this is the most delicious dish he has ever eaten.

After being amazed by the pork ribs, Lin Xiuhan tried the braised pork again, and this one was even more delicious. Lin Xiuhan felt that the meat he had eaten before was simply incomparable.

He tried other dishes, and there was really nothing to say.

He looked at the young man in front of him with shining eyes, "Mr. Chu, I didn't expect that your cooking skills are so good. To be honest, I have never eaten such delicious food. Today is really an eye-opener. I don't know what the difference between this braised pork and

Why is the sweet and sour pork ribs this color? How can this meat be so delicious?”

Jing Yi said: "This is because it contains soy sauce, which is a kind of seasoning. I made it myself. It is specially used for stewing meat and stir-frying. I almost cannot do without soy sauce when cooking."

Lin Xiuhan knew as soon as he heard that there must be a secret recipe, so he couldn't ask any more questions. After all, it was created by him himself.

Several people in Xiao Yilin's room were also eating.

Feng Zhi said: "Today's meal is really sumptuous. It seems that Mr. Chu specially entertained Mr. Lin. Mr. Chu also specially ate with Mr. Lin. He has never had dinner with our prince. Let Lin Xiu

Han got there first."

As soon as Feng Zhi's words came out, Gu Yu felt that his prince was unhappy.

He rolled his eyes at Feng Zhi and said, "I can't stop your mouth even if I eat. Mr. Lin is the parent official of Hui'an County. How can Mr. Chu neglect him?"

Gu Yu served a bowl of meatball soup to his prince, "Your Majesty, Mr. Chu said that this meatball soup is very good. The meat is minced and is easier to digest. You can eat more."

Xiao Yilin continued eating without saying anything.

Lin Xiuhan had a full meal and felt that his trip today was really worthwhile. He tasted delicious food, opened his eyes, and learned something.

Before leaving, Lin Xiuhan warned: "Mr. Chu, thank you for your warm hospitality today and letting me taste a delicious meal. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. I am the parent official of Hui'an County, and I also hope that

The common people can have enough food and clothing. I hope Mr. Chu’s winter wheat trial can be successfully planted.”

After sending Lin Xiu away, Han Jingyi continued to go to the fields to watch the harvesting of vegetables.

After receiving the news from Gu Yu, Xiao Zhen sent someone to buy the remaining vegetables from Jingyi in the name of a merchant, and then transported them all to Fucheng.

This is also to protect the Chu family and prevent people from suspecting that Prince Jing's palace has any dealings with the Chu family.

The vegetables grown in Jingyi are very good even if they are sold in the market, so there is no need to worry about selling them.

Xiao Zhen was also very satisfied when he saw the food brought back. He opened the letter from his prince, which said that the people in the Chu family were doing well. Xiao Zhen was very happy to see that his prince's health had improved greatly.

It was a wise decision for the prince to go to the Chu family to recuperate.

Xiao Zhen thought of the news he just received today, so he wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to the Chu family for his prince.
