Chapter 65: Tea for Teachers
Back in Nanxun County, it was like a world away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The donkey cart traveled to the Pei family's courtyard, Pei Shuo jumped out of the carriage and helped Ayao get out of the car.
She avoided Pei Shuo's hand and jumped down by herself: "Thank you Young Master Pei for carrying all the way, I'll go back to Mr. Mochizuki's side, goodbye." β
"Eh, A-Yao!" Pei Shuo grabbed her hand and scratched his head: "I forgot that you are now Mochizuki's apprentice, so I will send you over?"
"No need, Young Master Pei didn't rest well yesterday, go and rest, I'll go back myself." Ah Yao struggled to let go of Pei Shuo's hand, took a few steps back and blessed him, whispered goodbye, turned around and walked into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.
Pei Shuo still maintained his posture, leaving the residual warmth of Ah Yao's hand in his palm, and asked Pei Chong beside him: "Does Ah Yao hate me anymore, why do I feel that she is not in the right mood on the way back?"
"Maybe she was frightened, the little girl always has a little temper, isn't Miss Liu like this, young master, you especially didn't like her before. Pei Chong looked at Ayao's distant back, and could see her silent resistance to Pei Shuo, trying to distance herself and quietly becoming a stranger, thus disappearing in his memory.
Shouldn't the average kid just shout I hate you for not playing with you and run away?
Her move has the meaning of forgetting about the rivers and lakes, or is she casting a long line to catch big fish?
If it is the latter, the little girl's scheming is too terrible.
Pei Yang couldn't help it, his face was disdainful, and said: "Young master, don't blame her subordinates for being too talkative, she is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, she is cold-blooded in her bones, you have done so many things for her, she didn't even thank her, she didn't even say a word of greeting, just pulled out and left, and when she met a family that could take her in, she quickly hugged her thighs, the child is already so snobbish, and she has to grow up?"
Yesterday, Pei Shuo stabbed himself because of A-Yao's shoulder injury, and used a bitter trick to confirm the Lu family's crime, Pei Yang failed to stop it in time, and at the same time he was annoyed by his dereliction of duty, although Pei Shuo's approach made him feel very naΓ―ve, but more than that, he didn't like A-Yao, if it weren't for her, Pei Shuo wouldn't have impulsively self-harmed, and more importantly, A-Yao had already had an important impact on his young master.
The young master was swayed by the woman, and he thought that the Hou Ye and their brothers would definitely not be happy to see this.
A-Yao walked alone on the street, the hustle and bustle of the street was cut off in her ears, she had been out for so long, how could she tell Mochizuki, would Mochizuki be angry with her and no longer recognize her as an apprentice, what should she do when the time comes?
Her mind was disorganized, disturbing her thoughts.
The little bird's nest swept outside the door, and watched A-Yao pass by in front of her house with a flower basket, walked to the corner and looked up to find that she had walked and turned back.
It was already embarrassing to walk the road, and I didn't expect the bird's nest to be at the door, looking at her with a broom, A-Yao greeted her and handed over the flower basket: "Hello senior sister bird's nest, I'm back, this is what I made up on the way back, and the flowers are freshly picked back......"
"The flowers are so fragrant, and the baskets are beautiful, it's rare that you have this craft, I'll put it in the girl's room later, and she'll love it." Bird's Nest took the flower basket, sniffed it, and smiled.
The smile on the bird's nest eyebrows somewhat made Ah Yao's nervous heart feel a little more at ease, and she also smiled.
However, after the bird's nest walked a few steps, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of no one around, and Ah Yao was still standing cramped outside the gate, and asked, "It's only been a few days, and you're so angry that you don't even dare to come in the door?"
Senior Sister Bird's Nest laughed. Ah Yao stepped through the door, uneasy, "Is Mr. Mochizuki here, how is she feeling today?"
"Yao Zhu, you followed Young Master Pei around in the Mid-Autumn Festival, you became less bold and cringed. Bird's Nest simply stopped, pulled A-Yao to her room, poured tea, put a plate of melon seeds, a plate of square cakes, and sat down to listen to her speak slowly: "Recently, the girl's mood has been happy and melancholy, cloudy and sunny, your mood is also wrong, what happened, is Pei Shuo bullying you? The girl poured rose fragrance dew in the bamboo house of the flower garden, and she couldn't come out for a while, you said slowly." β
Bird's Nest grabbed a handful of red melon seeds and stuffed them into Ah Yao's hand, and then began to eat melon seeds himself.
Ah Yao is missing to confide, some things are too uncomfortable to hold in her heart, so she will tell the story of what has happened in the past few days, hide the bloody and terrible things, last night she understated the past, unconsciously, the melon seeds in the palm of her hand were knocked out by her, and the boredom dissipated, she chuckled: "Am I too talkative?"
Bird's Nest was dumbfounded, and after listening to her words, she let out a long breath: "Thank God, it's okay to be safe, don't worry about the wound on your shoulder, I'll find you if there is a plaster to remove the scar." β
Just push the square cake forward and let her taste it: "Come and eat a square cake to suppress the shock, this is a snack for the Qingming Dragon Boat Festival, but the girl temporarily wants to eat it and makes it herself, you taste it, there are roses, mint, bean paste and sugar osmanthus filling, the girl doesn't like to mix in the melon seeds, the steamed square cake is sweet and silky, but I always feel a little less chewy." β
A-Yao twisted a piece, the square cake was square, the twist was soft in her hand but it did not collapse, the dough flower of the cake was clearly visible, and the tuan hua faintly revealed a little tender red, this filling should be rose, right?
Broken open, it is indeed quicksand candied roses, and the pink and translucent rose filling melts and almost flows out.
Good cake dough, you have to grind the glutinous rice flour finely, add warm water, how much to add is a science, the cake dough is not half powdery and granulated, and it is not sticky to her teeth, she feels that she seems to be a little good at doing.
"Delicious! You can taste it too, the roses are sweet but not greasy, and you can taste the floral fragrance of roses. Ah Yao ate happily and did not forget to hand it to the bird's nest to try. "Next time I'll make you a square cake with pine nuts, hey, do you like to eat pine nuts?"
Bird's nest smiled and twisted a square cake and ate it, three or two square cakes, a cup of strong tea, she saw that the time was about the same, "Let's go, tell the girl that you are back." β
An acre of land is encircled behind Mochizuki's house to make a flower garden, and there is usually a special flower farmer's cooking, which is specially planted for the sake of fragrant dew, and when Mochizuki rises, he will go to the flower garden to pick flowers, make fragrant dew or make incense pillows.
It's not that I've seen Mochizuki's cooking techniques smooth, and Ah Yao may also be confused about which idle and elegant lady she is.
The bamboo house stands verdant on the edge of the flower garden, opens a window, and the flowers are clustered in the eyes, and the moon is adjusting the rose water, and when I raise my eyes, I see two little people holding hands.
"I'm back. β
Mochizuki's tone of tone made A-Yao worried again, for fear that she would leave for the past few days, Mochizuki felt that girls didn't want her anymore, she subconsciously always felt that Mochizuki should be a place for her to grow and learn, and she felt familiar when she saw Mochizuki for some reason.
"Yes, Mr. Mochizuki, I'm back. Ah Yao lowered her eyebrows.
Mochizuki pointed to the tea over there: "I'm thirsty, make me a cup of tea." β
Ah Yao said that the long desk was scattered with Jizhou kiln black glazed tea cups and tortoiseshell glazed pots, with outstanding flower utensils, and tea making utensils on the side. She touched the teapot with her hand, and it was cold. Boil water, pour in the tea, pour in the hot soup, and whisk with a bamboo whisk.
The bamboo whisk blows, raising the verdant tea soup, the soup flowers are like clouds and mist condensed, as if the wind and clouds are surging, the mountain rain is coming, the soup flowers bite the black glazed porcelain cup, and the thick new green matcha below, she brought it to Mochizuki.
Mochizuki savored it and raised his eyes.
Ah Yao looked at Mochizuki nervously, and her heart was up and down.
She suddenly sneered and said, "I drank the Shishi tea, and I don't call it Master yet." (To be continued.) )
