004 Grandfather
The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Xia Nan got up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
She asked Pian Ruo to prepare the ingredients she wanted and went to the kitchenette.
Xia Nan was preparing to make jujube flower cakes, and she remembered that Ji liked sweets.
She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her soft and white elbows, spread the flour again, added ghee, and began to knead it, it takes a lot of effort to knead the flour into a dough, but Xia Nan looked very relaxed, and she was amazed by the surprise next to her.
She kneaded the dough, divided it into small balls, pressed it with a wooden hammer, kneaded it into a small plate, added the jujube paste filling, and when the jujube paste cake was formed, she used a knife to cut it evenly on the jujube cake from two-thirds of the center, and then gently folded the cut part up to an arc, fixed it, put it into the steamer to steam, steamed for about half an hour, and the jujube flower cake was ready.
Xia Nan looked at the fire under the steamer, the flames and the black smoke that lit up, and her eyes couldn't help but flash.
The task of taking care of the steamer was handed over to Jinghong, and she went back to the house to freshen up.
Xia Nan is wearing a light cyan persimmon pattern satin jacket today, with only a red jade-inlaid jade-encrusted hairpin on his head, and a pair of jade gourd earrings on his ears, small and exquisite, and the whole person looks plain and warm, like a beautiful jade that has been polished to be gentle and tender.
After dressing up, the jujube paste cake was steamed, and Pianruo filled a cage and put it in the food box, Xia Nan led them to Shaosong Hall.
When Xia Nan arrived, there were already a few sisters there, and Ji didn't say anything about her being late, and asked her to sit down with a smile.
However, a few sisters were not very happy, when even someone said it.
It was Xia Xian from the third room who spoke.
"Grandmother, if we are late on weekdays, you have to talk about it, why is Sister Nan late today but you don't see you talking."
Ji didn't raise his eyebrows: "Sister Nan's Xiyan Pavilion is remote, and the weather is cold, so it's inevitable that you will be late."
Xia Xian wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xia Luo next to her and shook her head.
Xia Nan shook her head secretly, in her previous life, Xia Xian had always loved to trouble her, and in this life, she deliberately avoided her, did she still end up in a disgusting end?
"Grandmother, Nan'er got up this morning, secretly opened the small kitchen of Xiyan Pavilion, and made some jujube paste cakes, so it was late, and my granddaughter brought some for you to taste, so it was regarded as an apology for being late."
When Ji heard that his granddaughter had brought him jujube paste, his face was full of smiles.
"Okay, let my grandmother see how ingenious my sister Nan is."
Pian Ruo took the jujube pastry out of the food box.
I saw a plate of exquisite and fragrant jujube flower cakes being served.
Ji Shi took one and took a bite, only to feel that the mouth was full of sweet fragrance, the sweetness of the jujube paste was wrapped in the soft and crispy saltiness of the dough, and the two were mixed to just the right degree.
Ji's eyes lit up and looked at Xia Nan: "You said you did this?"
Xia Nan nodded, and Ji suddenly laughed, "My sister Nan is actually so capable." ”
As he spoke, he plucked off the emerald golden hairpin on his head and gave it to Xia Nan.
"You can also taste it, this jujube paste is sweet."
The sisters smelled the sweet smell wafting from the room, and they were already hungry before they had eaten breakfast.
Ji Shi rewarded each of them with a jujube flower cake, and everyone saw a delicate pastry like a plum blossom on the white porcelain plate, which was full of color, flavor and flavor, which instantly aroused the appetite of several people.
Xia Ying took the first bite to taste, her eyes lit up instantly, and she didn't put down the plate until she finished eating a whole jujube flower cake.
Ji smiled on the side and told her to eat slowly.
"This jujube flower cake is so delicious, I didn't expect Sister Nan to have such a hand, it seems that I have to get closer to Sister Nan before I can eat it."
"You gluttonous cat."
Xia Ying's words made Ji laugh, she was naturally happy to see that Miss Fuli was good with Xia Nan, and Xia Ying was the daughter of a big house, and even she took the initiative to ask to be good friends with Xia Nan, could this not make her happy?
"If the second sister wants to come, Nan'er will definitely let you eat and let the maids help you go back."
As soon as Xia Nan's words came out, he immediately amused the people present.
Xia Ying was even louder, "Then I really have to go and see how Sister Nan is going to make me hold up so that the maid can help me go back." ”
For a while, Shaosong Hall was full of joy.
"Why are you smiling so happily?"
A deep male voice came from outside, and Shao Songtang suddenly fell silent.
Then came the voices of the sisters calling for their grandfather.
Hou Ye Xia Wei strode into Shaosong Hall, and after answering the call of his sisters, he sat on the main seat.
Xia Nan looked at the old man in front of him, who was over half a hundred years old, the old man looked resolute, and his body exuded the composure of the perennial precipitation of officialdom, and as soon as his eyes moved, he gushed out a fierce momentum, which made people tremble.
Ji said: "It's nothing, it's just that Sister Nan said that she wants Sister Ying to eat at her place and let the maid help her go back."
was mentioned by Ji's family, Xia Nan had to stand up and shout "grandfather"
When Hou Ye Xia Wei heard Ji's words, his face was slightly gloomy, and when he saw Xia Nan softly shouting his grandfather, it was not good to pull down his face, so he responded, his eyes fell on the jujube flower cake in front of him, and he said in a low voice: "This is?"
"Master Hou might as well taste it, this jujube flower is crispy and sweet, you will definitely be happy."
Hou Ye Xia Wei probably guessed who made this jujube flower cake, and looked at Ji's expectant eyes, but he couldn't bear to refuse.
I saw that Hou Ye Xia Wei frowned and tasted it, and looked at the Ji family.
"People who are all older, eat less of this sweet."
Hou Ye Xia Wei said Ji's mouth, but he ate the whole jujube paste.
Ji smiled and did not speak.
As soon as Hou Ye Xia Wei came, Ji didn't let a few sisters stay, so he let them go back separately, leaving Hou Ye to have breakfast with her.
Out of Shaosong Hall, Xia Ying walked towards Xia Nan.
"Sister Nan, let's talk about it, I will definitely go to your Xiyan Pavilion to eat enough another day, if it weren't for my mother who invited me Mr. Su Xiu, I would definitely go today."
Su has two daughters, Xia Yan entered the palace in her early years, leaving only one daughter, Xia Ying, who is now fourteen, about the same age as Xia Nan, and will be in time for next year, so Su invited Mr. Su Xiu to teach her embroidery.
"When Sister Ying comes, you have to send a little maid to inform Nan'er first."
The closeness that naturally revealed in Xia Ying's words can be seen from the title.
The two said goodbye on the path, and Xia Nan returned to Xiyan Pavilion.
Her gaze fell on the lake outside the window.
The morning sun is shining, and it reflects a lot of color when it falls on the surface of the lake.
Grandfather will come to Shaosong Hall this morning, something must have happened.
Others may not have noticed it, but Xia Nan saw the lines between Xia Weihou's eyebrows.
Xia Nan counted the days.
Empress...... Is it the end?
