Chapter 402 Assorted Golden Rice (3)
The reaction of Wen Mingtang and Liang Hongjin when they heard someone's voice was indeed the instinct they had developed over the years. Although the solutions to stomach problems were in deserted and abandoned palaces, there was no guarantee that they would be touched by someone who accidentally broke in. arrive. Therefore, Wen Mingtang specially installed a handle next to the small stove so that he could hide with the stove at any time if the situation went wrong.
However, this instinct only lasted for a moment. Before the two of them could grab the handle, they suddenly came back to their senses. They were in Dali Temple at this time, not in the imperial city. There would be no palace servants or maids specially running to the steward palace. There is no need to be afraid of filing a complaint.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Liang Hongjin picked up the dry firewood that he had kicked away earlier. Wen Mingtang continued to pick up the shovel that had been put aside and continued to scrape the egg liquid in the pot. After frying the egg liquid until golden brown, he immediately fried it. The eggs were scooped up and set aside.
There were no ingredients being stir-fried in the pot. Only then did Wen Mingtang have the time to slow down the movements of his hands, and looked up at Lin Fei, who had just made a sound that startled them: "Why is Lin Shaoqing here?"
Just because she knew they were busy with Zhao Mengzhuo's case, she and Liang Hongjin deliberately walked lightly when they passed by the front office and the middle office where they worked, making sure not to disturb them!
Lin Fei had already regained his usual composure at this time, suppressed the emotions that had just surged in his heart, looked into the girl's bright eyes, and said, "I haven't eaten much in the evening, so I'm hungry. I'll be leaving soon." Chef, I remembered that it was January, and I wanted to go out to buy some food at the restaurant, but the concierge said that you two were making a dish called broken gold rice here, so I came to see if there was an extra bowl. .”
He has already spoken, even if he doesn't have it, he might have it. Not to mention that they cooked a lot of rice. After all, the stoves and pots were made by the palace to satisfy the appetites of her, Liang Hongjin and Zhao Sishan. Everything is for three people. Zhao Sishan has not left the palace yet, so he has an extra portion.
Moreover, the rice cooked in the morning bought from the restaurant was quite generous, more than enough for three people.
So when Wen Mingtang heard this, he looked at each other and Liang Hongjin, nodded and said: "Some, Lin Shaoqing came by chance, just about to start stir-frying."
Lin Fei nodded when he heard this. Like most people, he was interested in eating, but not very interested in cooking skills.
So after nodding, he didn't care about cooking anything and just asked Wen Mingtang: "What is broken gold rice?"
Wen Mingtang said: "Fry the rice until the grains are clearly defined, all covered with egg yolk, the color is like fried gold, and the oil shines, so it is broken gold rice."
Probably because he was worrying about the case in his mind, Lin Fei today was obviously much duller than his usual alertness. He didn't react for a moment. Hearing this, he was even more surprised: "There is still such a meal? But it was not the case before." I've never heard of it." After saying that, he started to think thoughtfully.
Liang Hongjin, who was looking at the firewood in the "Zoodong", couldn't stand listening anymore when she heard this. She couldn't help but laughed out loud and said: "Hey, what you said is so mysterious, it's egg fried rice!"
Lin Fei: "..."
It is probably human nature to like to see the rare dull reactions of smart people. Seeing Lin Fei's speechless expression, Liang Hongjin laughed "haha" and said repeatedly: "I really didn't expect Lin Shaoqing to be so dull." time!"
Lin Fei, who has always been praised for his intelligence and agility by people around him since he was sensible, was called "dumb" for the first time in his life. He was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and looked at Liang Hongjin, who was laughing loudly in the room. Wen Mingtang, who was pouring oil into the pot and curling the corners of his lips, was not unhappy at all, but felt a little novel.
However, he suppressed all these emotions and just rolled his eyelids towards Liang Hongjin who laughed "haha" and said: "So this is broken gold rice, I think it is worth a try. Master Wen The bowl of fried noodles I had at Zhao Ji Restaurant nearly a year ago is still unforgettable to me. Regardless of the heat, taste, or presentation, I have never had it in other restaurants in the capital."
Hearing this, Liang Hongjin's laughing face suddenly froze, and immediately she couldn't sit still. She turned to look at Wen Mingtang, snorted and said, "Xiao Mingtang, I have never eaten the fried noodles you made! "
The ingredients for fried noodles are said to be simple. After years of working in Yeting, I have been tinkering with stoves and everything else. It does seem strange at first to not eat fried noodles before, but after thinking about it, it is not strange at all.
Be it the stove or the ingredients, they all found ways to get them. Because you have to avoid people, you can't eat too much, and you can't leave too many traces.
Noodles are indeed very common to ordinary people, but in the palace, the battles involved in kneading, drying, pulling, and slicing the noodles with flour are quite big. Moreover, when the wind blows, the flour will be scattered everywhere. All.
It would be better if the maid who cleans the palace is lazy or doesn't like to get involved in right and wrong. If she is "too diligent" or likes to "jump up and down, lest the world is not in chaos", that would be terrible, and it will definitely attract a lot of trouble. trouble.
Therefore, although Wen Mingtang often used this stove in the palace, he had never made noodles himself, let alone fried noodles.
These... Lin Fei figured it out after thinking about it carefully. After fighting off the laughing Liang Hongjin, he turned to look at Wen Mingtang who was pouring the rice into the pot and using a spatula to spread it and stir-fry it.
Egg fried rice is very common. If you have leftover rice at home, add eggs and side dishes and stir-fry it briefly.
Because it is so common and simple, it doesn’t make a deep impression on people. For most people, they don’t like it very much, and they don’t necessarily hate it. The purpose of filling the stomach is far greater than the desire to taste delicious food. Eat.
Lin Fei has naturally eaten egg fried rice and other dishes. No matter how many cooks in the house, he has made them all. But... it didn't leave any impression on him. It was just a mediocre fried rice, not hard to swallow, but not very delicious either. I even got tired of it because the cook used too much oil.
Now Wen Mingtang named this egg fried rice Broken Gold Rice. This name suddenly turned an ordinary thing into something extraordinary.
Just like the same bowl of noodles, clear soup noodles and Yangchun noodles, these two names sound like they have slightly different tastes.
I don’t know if Master Wen’s egg fried rice is worthy of this golden rice. Oh no, just now Master Wen and General Liang said that it is the name of assorted golden rice...
Lin Fei began to look forward to it inexplicably.
It was obviously not the first time that the two of them had eaten this golden rice. Without Master Wen’s reminder, General Liang took the initiative to heat up the firewood in the “stove hole” while Master Wen on the other side quickly stir-fried and spread the rice. Add various seasonings, side dishes and auxiliary ingredients, and stir-fry quickly with your hands.
As Master Wen holds the special pot with a handle and weighs it up and down with one hand, the alluring aroma spreads from the pot that is constantly being weighed.
