Chapter 16 Red Date Dumplings

Yu's kitchen can be seen to be clean and clean from the small courtyard, the ingredients are properly placed, the ground has just been sprinkled with water, and there is a vegetable garden at the door, and there are some dishes that Yu Xiaoling can't recognize. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This realm is a bit idyllic. Yu Xiaoling looked east and west, and followed Bingli into the kitchen.

"Sister Fengchun is also there?" Bingli saw Fengchun who was just about to go out at a glance, and hurriedly saluted and shouted.

"Why did you bring the girl here?

Without waiting for Bingli to speak, Yu Xiaoling shouted: "Sister Fengchun, I'm coming!"

"This is not a place to play, but the girl will go back with the slave and maid, and there will be little fruit to eat in the lady's room." Feng Chun squatted down and persuaded her.

But since Yu Xiaoling identified the kitchen, how could she not enter it, so she left with her?

Seeing that her tone was firm, it was not good to stop her again in the spring, and thinking that she and Bingli were here, it should be okay, so she personally hugged Yu Xiaoling in.

When everyone in the kitchen saw that Fengchun was gone and returned, and they were still holding a little girl in fancy clothes, they all hurriedly dropped the work in their hands and got up to salute.

Yu Xiaoling spared them, and went to the ground again to see what they were doing.

In the kitchen of Yu's house, there are a total of three cooks and five maids. Now, except for a younger cook with two little maids preparing a lunch meal, everyone else is constantly making zongzi under their hands.

The two cooks both hold the dumpling leaves, deftly roll up the dumpling leaves to make them into tips, scoop the glutinous rice and put it in, and then put the red dates with the pit, or the steamed egg yolk and pork belly, so that the glutinous rice is covered with it, compacted and handed over to the little maids to wrap up.

The zongzi they wrap are really not big, the rice is enough, and they can bite into the filling in one bite if they want to eat it, which is satisfying.

Among the three kinds of fillings, the red date dumplings are the most made, and there is also a maid who is responsible for removing the core of the red dates.

After all, the Yu family is a family from Beizhili, a northerner who is serious, even if it takes into account that the Liao family and the Cui family are from southern Fujian, and the Cheng family is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they have added meat dumplings and egg yolk dumplings, but in the end they are still dominated by red date dumplings. Especially Yu Bingzu, he only recognizes red date dumplings.

Yu Xiaoling looked at the old chef who specialized in making red date dumplings and made zongzi with a good look, and after watching it for a long time, she didn't see anything strange.

Fengchun whispered to her: "This is Mama Gui, the old man in our house, her craftsmanship is named by the master." ”

Yu Xiaoling nodded, Mama Gui smiled at her, and continued to work.

The Liao family spent this effort and poisoned Mama Wei while others were unprepared, so naturally they wanted to attack the Cheng family, who lacked skills. And the Cheng family has just won Yu Bingzu's affirmation, and there is no shortage of money in the public school, and if she wants to lose her favor, she has to come from Yu Bingzu.

Yu Bingzu only recognizes the red jujube dumplings, and no one in the family knows about it, and no one knows it, if there is a problem with the red jujube dumplings in this Duanyang Festival, how can he gently uncover it? Not to mention that the public money is sufficient, and the Cheng family is afraid that he will be embarrassed at that time.

Yu Xiaoling thought about it, but no matter how she looked at the whole process of this bag of zongzi, she didn't feel that it was strange, the little girl picked the core carefully, separated the core meat, and the action was clean and neat;

"Girl, go back. Feng Chun came to ask her again.

Yu Xiaoling also knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he turned his head to look at everyone again, and walked out of the kitchen with a full stomach.

Out of the courtyard gate, there was a rustling sound, as if a person was squatting in the bushes on the side.

Feng Chun frowned: "Who is there?"

There was an instant silence in the bushes, and then there was a squirrel, and a girl about the same age as Yu Xiaoling walked out carefully.

She lowered her head slightly, her expression was a little strange, her eyes glanced at the three of Yu Xiaoling's master and servant, and quickly lowered her head.

"Who are you?" Yu Xiaoling asked her.

Bingli saw that the girl was not very sensible, and added on the side: "Miss Ling asked you something, so you have to answer it well." ”

As soon as the little girl heard that the child opposite who was about the same size as herself was the girl of the main family, her expression became even more strange, her lips were pursed, and there was a little distortion.

I don't know if it was because the two big girls put too much pressure on her, or because she was confused by the silence around her, her knees were weak, and she suddenly knelt down.

Yu Xiaoling was startled by her, and instinctively took a step back. But encountering such a strange thing made her heart have a glimmer of light.

She made up her mind and decided to ask for clarification.

"Who are you, what are you doing here? If you don't say it, I'll let people beat you up?" Yu Xiaoling scared her.

The board really worked, but the little girl trembled when she heard these three words, and quickly kowtowed and shouted: "Girl, spare your life, girl, ......spare your life! No, slaves and maids ...... I just stole a red date to eat, and I didn't do anything else!

Stealing red dates?

Yu Xiaoling instantly became interested, glared at her again, and asked, "Then what are you doing since you stole dates and hid them in the bushes?"

The little girl was so frightened that she kowtowed again: "Slave...... The slave maid was stuffed with a jujube kernel and wanted to ...... I want to pick it out......"

Feng Chun snorted with a smile and said, "Girl, this is a stupid girl, stealing a date to eat can still be stuffed with teeth, the girl doesn't have to worry about her." ”

But Yu Xiaoling was not persuaded by her to leave, but pointed to the little girl again, and then asked, "Why are you so stupid?

She asked seriously, but her words were childish, and Feng Chun and Bingli both pursed their lips and smiled.

"Back to ...... Back to the girl, the slave maid is the pickled jujube, who ...... Who knew there was a little nucleus!"

The air suddenly condensed, not equal to Xiao Ling's opening, Feng Chun already frowned and asked, "What you said is true?"

"The slave doesn't dare to deceive people, it's true, this little core is still stuck between my teeth!"

Feng Chun stepped forward to check it out in person, and the little girl's mouth grew big, and she saw that between her teeth, there was something like a jujube kernel the size of a mung bean.

"Bingli, you take the girl back first, and I'll go to the kitchen again. Feng Chun commanded.

It's a pity that Yu Xiaoling didn't want to miss this strange event, and he had to follow.

The kitchen was still busy and orderly, and everyone was a little surprised to see the group go and return again. Just wanted to get up and salute, but Yu Xiaoling immediately waved his hand away.

Feng Chun walked to the little girl who picked the core in three steps and two steps, took a date she had just picked and looked at it carefully, looked at it as nothing special, pinched it hard, and finally put it in her mouth and chewed it.

Everyone was shocked by Feng Chun's strange behavior, and they all looked at her, not knowing what she was going to do.

But she turned her head and shook her head at Bingli.

Yu Xiaoling was stunned, afraid that she would give up on this, and just thought about what to say, she saw that she took two more and ate them, but after eating, she still shook her head.

Are they overthinking?

Could it be that the little nucleus in the date is really just a coincidence?
