Chapter 112: When things go wrong, there must be demons
Coming to Jiangliu County again, Ayao was in a trance for a while.
The so-called time flies but in a snap of a finger, and only when you stand in Jiangliu County can you have a personal experience.
She experienced thrilling captivity and rescue here, and also assisted Master Mochizuki in cooking a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the Meng family here. Looking back now, it seems that it happened not long ago, and I have forgotten the fear at that time, but the taste of Hachizhen noodles will remain in the depths of my memory forever.
The opposite door of the Meng family is now the Xue Mansion, and the two pots of kumquat in front of the door have borne fruit, one by one on the branches, and they are golden.
Mrs. Meng's maid Xiao Sui was waiting at the side door for Moon Bird's Nest Ayao and her party.
When he brought the man to the kitchen, there were as many materials in the kitchen as he remembered, and there were many fewer servants. "Is there less people dining?" Mochizuki asked, glancing at him.
Xiao Sui nodded, she was noticed by Mochizuki before she could say anything, no wonder the old lady favored Mochizuki. "Yes, this year the old lady does not invite her people to come, but there are both children and old people at the banquet, and the girl will be bothered more about the dishes these days. ”
After sending Xiao Sui away, Mochizuki turned around and assigned homework to Bird's Nest and Ah Yao, "Bird's Nest is responsible for listing and making the breakfast and tea list for these three days; In addition, there is a difference in the number of people for breakfast and lunch, so you should be aware of this, so make an order for me in the evening. ”
Ah Yao was very nervous, with a cautious look on her face, and after a few heavy strokes, she circled around the ingredients, thinking about how to match the dishes from noon tomorrow.
There was a maid at the door who came to Mochizuki, and she spoke softly, Ah Yao and Bird's Nest didn't hear their conversation, so they heard Mochizuki say: "I'll go with her to see the old lady, go back when I go, don't forget the homework I assigned." ”
The still water was dry, and the courtyard was deep, and the maid led her to the small pavilion in the garden, and asked her to go by herself.
Seeing the slender and elegant figure under the small pavilion, Mochizuki was not surprised at all. "Meng Gongzi is fine. ”
Where is the old lady invited, there are only two masters in the huge Meng family, one is Mrs. Meng, and the other is Mrs. Meng's righteous son Meng Qianxiu.
"Miss Mochizuki is very polite, please here. ”
Tea smoke curled, and the two sat speechless.
"If it's okay...... Mochizuki didn't sit for long before he wanted to leave, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Meng Qianxiu grabbed the conversation, quite embarrassed: "There is something to do." That's the case, the appearance of the Mochizuki girl reminded me of an old man, so I asked someone to inquire in many ways, but I didn't expect it to be really the daughter of the old man! Maybe you don't remember me anymore, when you were so young, I often came to your house as a guest, Uncle Wu talked about your pride, I still can't forget. ”
Speaking of the back, Meng Qianxiu became excited, he took a deep breath, slowed down, and said: "I was sorry for your Wu family back then, if I could detect it in time and dredge one or two, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu would not have died tragically, and you would not be separated forever!"
"It's all in the past. ”
Mochizuki lowered her head, her red eyes revealing her thoughts, she was not as calm as she said in her words.
"Now that I can see you again, I believe that Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu will rest in peace under Jiuquan. ”
Mochizuki rubbed the rim of the cup, heard Meng Qianxiu's sigh, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up in response. "If nothing else, Mochizuki will go back to the kitchen first. ”
"Mochizuki, haven't you thought about avenging your parents!" Meng Qianxiu shouted behind him. "Your family, my family, and Shangguan's family, how innocent the people who were implicated at the beginning, haven't you ever thought about overturning the case?"
"Mochizuki is just a chef with a little skill, and the cook only needs to stay in the kitchen for one acre and three points of land, and things outside the kitchen are not what a chef should think about. ”
Meng Qianxiu couldn't see that Mochizuki's expression was cold, so she walked away quickly, her skirt was open, and the green background was embroidered with clusters of blooming jasmine.
How she didn't think about it, how she didn't think about it!
The nightmare of the family and the extermination of the family are tightly entangled in her, and the existence of her and the bird's nest reminds her all the time that their survival is to step on the blood of their fathers, and she wants to overturn the case in her heart, but she is just a cook.
Life is a fluke.
If you want to overturn the case, it is a grasshopper shaking the tree, which is ridiculous.
"Master Mochizuki...... What's wrong with you?" said Yao's voice hesitantly.
Mochizuki lowered her eyes, and her pupils reflected Ah Yao directly in front and below, she was holding a food list in her hand, and when she saw her appearance, she frowned and puzzled, but asked cautiously.
A-Yao made a list, compared it again and again, felt that the food list she had set was very perfect, showed it to the bird's nest, and the bird's nest also recognized, and waited in the kitchen for a while without seeing Mochizuki come back, and told the bird's nest to go to the garden to see if he could meet Mochizuki.
The person was found, but Mochizuki's momentum was wrong.
Like an enraged beast, he rushed into a crown with rage, clenched his hands into fists, biting his lower lip, and struggling with all his might.
Walking head-on, feeling that Mochizuki saw herself, A-Yao swallowed her saliva, stiffened her hair and cautiously greeted Mochizuki, for fear that her tone was wrong and that she would be sad, and her heartstrings called "emotion" were tense and couldn't stand the teasing.
Mochizuki's face was expressionless.
Ah Yao shrunk her neck, Mom, Master Mochizuki is so scary.
She quietly looked away from Mochizuki's face, and found that Mochizuki's palms were abnormally red: "Master Mochizuki, your hand is injured!"
A person who takes her career as a chef very seriously hurts her hands without noticing, which shows how seriously this incident she hid in her heart affected her.
A-Yao pursed her lips, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and gently put it into the palm of Mochizuki's hand, she didn't know how to comfort Mochizuki, Mochizuki didn't say anything, she didn't dare to speculate on this joint, it would be good if the bird's nest appeared at this time.
Mochizuki could hear Yao's voice, but it was vague as if she was suffering from typhoid fever.
The fluttering handkerchief made her slowly calm down.
Ah Yao was struggling with whether to sneak back to report a message to the bird's nest, or whether she would lead Mochizuki back to dissipate her anger, and before she could think about it, she was hugged by Mochizuki.
A-Yao opened her mouth to say something comforting, but she couldn't say anything. In her previous life, she was stupid and couldn't get along with relatives and friends, and wanted to comfort people, but in the end she was scolded, and the other party was even more angry.
The technical work of comforting Mochizuki is still left to the bird's nest, and A-Yao stroked Mochizuki's back gently.
"Scallops. ”
"Huh?"
"I want to eat almond cheese. ”
"Okay, I'll still make almond tofu, Master Mochizuki, would you like to have some?"
"Let's make almond cheese first. ”
The kitchen has ready-made soaked peeled almonds, grind the almonds into a pulp with well water, add rock sugar, glutinous rice flour with water and stir well until there is no lump, pour it into the almond pulp, stir, boil and thicken, scoop it into a small bowl of ice flowers, let it stand on the surface and add a spoonful of honey beans to the surface slightly, and it is done.
The almonds themselves have a bit of sweetness, and A-Yao doesn't add a lot of rock sugar, and at the end add a spoonful of honey beans, which still tastes warm, and the taste is rich and not particularly sweet.
Mochizuki's mood was much better, "Yao Zhu, how would you feel if someone suddenly told you about the bittersweet memories of the past?"
Ah Yao didn't think twice: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." ”
The red beans soaked in honey are sweet and silky, and they taste soft and without slag, and Mochizuki squinted with a smile: "It's exactly this reason." ”
