Chapter 43: Dim Sum
Li Xue cleaned her hands, took the towel handed over by Yuxiang, wiped her hands dry, and said, "I remember that Mama Su's pastries in our yard are very good." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yuxiang nodded and smiled: "Mother Su's craftsmanship is nothing else, but the pastries are a must, and I often beg her to make me some tooth sacrifices!"
Li Xue nodded: "After dinner, I ordered the little maid to come over, Ming'er to send the second sister a box of steamed cakes with cornmeal and rosehip filling, I remember that the second sister has always loved to eat these things, and it can be regarded as a courtesy."
When I went to Yuxi Courtyard today, the second girl specially went to Aunt Wu and called Aunt Wu's nurse Mother Liu to come over and take charge of the spoon, Yuxiang knew that Mother Liu was a very arrogant person on weekdays, except for giving Aunt Wu and the second girl face, the rest, even the old man was too lazy to move. And this Liu's mother's cooking skills can be described as perfect, and Li Rong's old love to run to Aunt Wu's side also has this relationship.
"It's hard for Miss Wei to remember, this is a new trick that Su's mother only researched a few days ago, except for our yard, there is no other place." Yuxiang took the towel and said with a smile.
"Mother Su is a third-class mother-in-law!" Li Xue thought for a while and asked, without waiting for Yuxiang to speak, she said: "With such a good skill, it's a pity to be a third-class mother-in-law, you will go and talk to Su's mother later, and Ming'er will be transferred to the second class." Wait for Huang's mother to come back and tell her to register. ”
Yuxiang's face is happy, this kind of good errand has a long face and benefits, Su's mother has been promoted to the third level, as long as she says it herself, she will have a favor from Su's mother.
"The girl is really nice, no wonder the maids and women outside have sharpened their heads one by one and want to come to our yard, which shows that it makes sense." Yuxiang flattered Li Xue with a smile, and then went out with a copper basin and Shi Shiran.
Here, Xianxiang walked over with a food box in her hand, looked at Li Xue and said, "Girl, it's time to have dinner."
After that, he took out the food in the food box in the same way, two fried light vegetarian dishes, a dry steamed split chicken, a crystal hoof, and a steamed anchovies, as well as sesame oil cold bacon and a bowl of lotus root pork rib soup.
Li Xue sat down when she heard this, took the chopsticks, and ate quietly. Eating without speaking, sleeping without speaking, is the most basic etiquette that every lady learns, slowly and methodically ate dinner, rinsed before smiling at Yuxiang Xiangxiang: "You have served for a day, stay in the house to eat!"
After hearing this, the two hurriedly thanked each other, and had dinner with Li Xue's unfinished meal.
Rulan was sitting on the porch, looking at the clouds in the sky, but saw Yuelan and Yuexue walking out of the house.
"Sister Liuyuxiang has dinner, it's not too early, let's go to dinner quickly!" Yuelan took Yuexue's arm and said enviously. A first-class maid is good, not only does it eat the same as the master, but there are also special maids to serve, not to mention anything else, just the monthly money of two taels of silver a month is enough to make people blush.
The two talked and walked all the way, Rulan looked at the backs of the two and said, "I don't know when I will be able to mix second-class."
She was thinking about the problem when she heard someone calling her, Rulan hurriedly went in, packed up her things, saluted Li Xue, and exited the house.
In Yuxi Courtyard, Li Biqi sat in the bathtub, her white skin had turned red due to the hot water soaking, Yulan picked up a towel and helped her scrub her back gently, and said softly: "Girl, the third girl came to say that someone from the Xie family might come over tomorrow."
Li Biqi opened her eyes and looked at the fog in front of her before she said, "I know."
"Isn't the girl going out to meet tomorrow?" Magnolia hesitated and asked.
"Hey, let's talk about it tomorrow!" The jade-snow-white face wrinkled slightly, and Li Biqi sighed.
Yulan was very happy, she pulled Li Biqi's arm and wiped it with a towel, and said with a smile: "The girl always has to go to meet, so as not to know anything when she goes in later."
"Hmm!" Nodding, Li Biqi groaned: "What did you say the third sister came to me today!" Although there are only two girls in the house, there is a concubine and a concubine between them. The sisters are not close to each other, and they don't have much contact on weekdays, why did Li Xue come to her side today, just to tell her that the people from the Xie family would come over tomorrow?
"The girl is so stuffy on weekdays, after all, there are only two girls in the house, and they are sisters, if the three girls don't look for girls, who else can they find!" Yulan didn't think so much, the third girl was only a child, just twelve years old, but there was nothing to guard against.
"I don't know who the Xie family will come tomorrow!" Yulan thought curiously, I don't know if my future uncle will come, maybe so, after all, my uncle is at home!
"Don't say what you shouldn't say!" Li Biqi's face sank, Yulan was busy silencing, and she wiped Li Biqi's back intently.
After getting dressed, I played chess with Yulan for a while, but saw Rushuang walk in with a food box in her hand.
Rushuang was thirteen or fourteen years old, slender, handsome and big-eyed, although she looked soft and weak, but there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, she wore a lake blue jacket, moon white Song pants tied below, and a light blue tulle gown embroidered on the shoulders.
"Girl, the third girl sent a box of snacks." Rushuang looked at the two people in the room excitedly and said.
"Look at your useless appearance, a box of cakes makes you happy like this!" Magnolia pursed her lips and shook her head helplessly.
Rushuang rolled her eyes and looked at her: "I'm not happy, is it possible that I still have to cry?"
"Okay, let's be quiet, have the third sister's people gone back?" Li Biqi dropped down and asked lightly.
"Not yet, waiting for the box!" Rushuang shook her head and replied.
"When she goes back, she will grab a handful of money, and people have also worked hard to run, so she can't let her run in vain."
"Don't worry, girl, I don't need you to tell me these things, and I can do them well." Rushuang patted her chest and assured that Li Biqi laughed when she looked at it.
After Rushuang finished speaking, she blinked and took out the pastries in the food box and put them on the kang table, only to see cornmeal and rosehip trap steamed cakes in the delicate blue and white plate.
"I've never seen such a snack, the third sister is rare." Li Biqi picked up one of the silver chopsticks and put it in her mouth, soft and delicate, sweet and not greasy, the taste is naturally excellent, but it is not very rare. , after eating one, he put down his chopsticks and said, "You two also taste it, it still tastes very good."
Rushuang had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, thanked her, and hurriedly put one in her mouth, narrowing her eyes in enjoyment.
Seeing Rushuang's anxious appearance, Yulan shook her head in disgust and persuaded: "Don't eat in such a hurry, it's not good to choke!"
