25 Meals together

The fragrant chestnut rice produced in Lingzhou Mansion is steamed out with tiles and served in a light cyan porcelain bowl, the glaze outside the bowl is a gradual process from light green to light green to deep green, and such a bowl contains white rice, which makes the rice more and more neat and neat, crystal like jade. Don't talk about eating, even a glance can make people have a great appetite.

The dumb aunt glanced lightly, her eyes stopped on the bowl, Lancao was clever, knowing that since this little grandmother could speak, most of them didn't know about the people in the mansion and even the entire Lingzhou Mansion, common sense of life, etc., Lancao felt that there was nothing to make a fuss about, after all, the little grandmother was born in a poor family in the past, and she was a mute, and the world she had seen over the years was not as good as her little girl, which was not strange at all. He is dumb, he can't hear with his ears, he can't speak with his tongue, and he doesn't know anything about the world.

The orchid grass quietly attached to the dumb aunt's sideburns, "This is the bleeding glaze, a kind of porcelain that only exists in the porcelain kiln of our Lingzhou Mansion, which is exclusively used by rich and noble families." ”

The dumb aunt put the bowl in the bowl and looked at it carefully, and stretched out her nails to knock on the bottom of the bowl, making an ethereal and crisp sound, well, the porcelain is very good, and the ancients will really enjoy it, especially the rich people in this Lingzhou Mansion.

When the dishes were served, the bluegrass was even more surprised and sighed, it was no longer stewed radish in white water, but three dishes and one soup.

And this dish is not the most ordinary boiled cabbage, boiled sweet potato, stewed radish, there are even green vegetables.

In this winter, although Liufu, like most rich families, has its own special greenhouse, which raises flowers and some vegetables, but the precious vegetables grown out of season are only occasionally enjoyed by the old lady and the young lady in the house, that is, those aunts and wives generally do not have such a good mouth.

I didn't expect to appear at the dining table in the corner courtyard tonight.

Lan Cao's hand with chopsticks was trembling.

A plate of stir-fried green leafy vegetables in clear oil, a plate of braised beef, a plate of steamed noodle chicken with a small bowl of green coriander foam sauce, and an egg drop soup.

There was obviously more oil and water in the dish than in the past, especially the soup noodles with a layer of oil flowers floating on them.

Lancao smiled, Le Zizi set up the dishes and chopsticks for the master, and then took the two little girls to retreat and stand aside to watch.

The food of the next person who was deducted yesterday was also made up in the kitchen today, not to mention the amount of blue grass and two little girls who ate it for three people, it is estimated that one more person will be full.

The rules of the house, when the master eats, the subordinate stands aside and waits with bated breath, and after eating, the table is withdrawn, and the subordinate goes back to the house to eat his own.

Lancao thought that the two little girls had just arrived, and they wanted to stand up for the little grandmother and set up the rules for them, so as not to disobey the discipline in the future and learn the style of orchids.

Lancao stood with his face down, and the two little girls drew gourds in the same way, not daring to move.

The dumb aunt looked at them, then at the food on the table, and suddenly waved her hand and called for the bluegrass to come over.

Lancao leaned over and saw the little grandmother's impatient face, pointing and pointing, and a soft hoarse sound came out of her mouth. That means you all sit down and we eat together.

Lan Cao shook her head and said loudly: "Little grandma, we can't eat at the same table as our masters, if it reaches the ears of the old lady and others, we won't be able to eat and walk around." Serving the master is our duty as slaves and maids, you just eat your own when we don't save zài, it's air, you just eat your own, where it doesn't suit your appetite, what is lacking, you just command us. Even if you are kind and don't dislike us people for being stupid, we don't dare to forget our identity, mess up the dignity and humility, and have no rules, so that the outside world will know that we are not big, small, up, down, and have no rules. ”

I didn't expect this little girl to be able to say that.

The dumb aunt propped her chin in her hand and looked at her meaningfully.

Lancao felt uncomfortable at this gaze, and could only cough, "Hehe, the little grandmother pities us as subordinates, then we can only accompany the little grandma to eat, but you remember, the matter of the corner courtyard is closed, a few of us know, don't dare to chew the root of the tongue when you go out, if you cause any trouble, my Lancao will not spare the first one!"

The two little girls nodded with panic on their faces and sat timidly next to the table. This was the first time in their lives that they had sat and eaten with their masters, and they were really nervous and scared.

Originally, there was only one dresser in this room, a small table, and everyone ate to make do, but today the corner courtyard turned over, and naturally they didn't wait for them to come forward to ask for it, and someone came in with a big boxy wooden table, and sent a small dining table, and the room was crowded for a while.

Four little girls, sitting around the table, four immature little faces, looking at each other, the little girl is timid, Lancao has long been used to eating at the same table with the master, so she is not so nervous. The dumb aunt saw Lancao put the meat vegetables and fresh vegetables in front of her, and she and the two little maidens only put a bowl of stewed radish and rice in front of each other, and the rice was no longer the best fragrant corn, it was the kind of brown rice that she and Lancao ate last night, and the three Yahuan's dishes and chopsticks were far less delicate than hers. She raised her hand to push the plate in the middle, and then carried a bowl of stew in front of herself, before burying her head in eating.

Chestnut rice is worthy of being a famous product of Lingzhou Mansion, the rice grains are round and slender, the entrance is fragrant, soft and glutinous and sweet, with chewing, a faint fragrance of pastoral soil and sunshine escapes between the mouth.

Where have I eaten such delicious rice these days, my appetite is open, I gulp it into my mouth, chew it very loudly, drink soup exaggeratedly, chew vegetables, that fragrant, that comfortable, don't mention, eating is a kind of enjoyment! She is always very busy, sometimes she goes to the hospital cafeteria to eat the kind of work meals that are the same and has no new ideas, and sometimes even uses fast food such as a box lunch to cope, how can she have time to sit and chew slowly and eat a meal so slowly? So the fast pace of snoring and purring really can't be changed for a while.

Delicious - delicious - appreciated in the heart. It's just a pity that I need to pretend to be dumb and can't shout out loud and happy.

Although the cooking techniques of the ancients do not seem to be as delicate as modern ones, the ingredients are all green and natural, and they are still very fragrant in the mouth.

This may be the dietary standard that the young grandmother of Liufu should be equipped with, yes, it is really a big family, it seems that this young grandmother is still quite enjoyable.

While she was immersed in her thoughts, she snored and pulled the mountain sound, and when one bowl was finished, she moved another bowl over and refilled.

Suddenly, she froze.

It's a little boring.

In an instant, the mind of the anchor was pulled back from the reverie, and at a glance, the three little girls didn't catch chopsticks at all, and the six eyes stared at her together.

That look looked like he was looking at a monster.

Eight eyes met, three of them lowered their heads in amusement, and the other one didn't understand what was going on, and pointed to the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, vomiting, ahhh

Or Lancao spoke, but not to the dumb aunt, because a dumb person can't hear it, she said to the two new companions, "cough, cough, cough, this, our little grandmother, originally not like this, she has always smiled without showing her teeth, walking without showing her feet, eating carefully and slowly, without making a sound, why don't you abide by the virtues of these women today, it is because she is hungry, and she goes to the eldest lady early in the morning to serve, and does her filial piety as a daughter-in-law in front of her mother-in-law, so it is appropriate for the little grandmother to eat more and eat faster-"

Two little girls, one nodded, and his eyes were a little timid to the dumb aunt. One chuckled very quickly and hurriedly lowered his head.

Obedient and obedient, the dumb aunt knew Lancao's intentions, and she looked ugly by eating herself, which frightened the two newcomers, and Lancao was covering for herself.

It's really depressing, don't you just have a meal, why are you so poor and exquisite, and don't you sit here and embroider, pursing your mouth and eating a small half and half a bite? Or do you hold it in your mouth a little bit and use the tip of your tongue to dissolve? Or do you follow the ancient precept of not saying a word, not making a sound, not liking shape, not being gluttonous...... Oh, did people in ancient times sit there all day long and ponder these torturous rules to restrain women?

The dumb aunt finished the bowl of stewed radish, stopped eating, picked up the plate of meat and gave some to each of the three maids, and the vegetables were also dialed, so shocked that the faces of the two little maidens changed, and the master not only allowed them to eat at the same table, everyone ate the same dish, but also personally allocated dishes to them, which was unheard of in the whole house. Especially when they are just rough little maids, their status is low, and they usually don't have the master's call, so they don't even have the opportunity to enter the master's door.

They ate in silence.

A maid ring took advantage of feeding vegetables to her mouth, raised the corner of her sleeve and secretly wiped her eyes that were misty with tears.

The other one was more comfortable than this one, and she generously said thank you, little grandma, thank you, Sister Lancao.

After the meal, the tableware was removed, and the two little girls followed suit.

This dinner, it stands to reason that Lancao should eat very happily and comfortably, it can be said that this is the highest meal she has enjoyed since she followed the dumb aunt, the two little girls dare not be presumptuous after all, and the remaining meat and vegetables are still eaten a little more by Lancao. But Lancao didn't seem to be happy, and that little face was tense all the time.
