Chapter 30: The Rise of the Sunset (4)
"Then don't cry, good," Jingwu stood next to Qiu Niang with a smile, "Don't cry, good ......"
She did it on purpose, deliberately so clever and cute, and teased Qiu Niang like a child, she never teased a child, and she didn't know if it was right to do so.
Jingwu is a good child, she thinks that anyone who cries must be very sad.
Jing Wu twisted the towel and handed it to Qiu Niang to wipe her face: "Look, it's all tears, wipe it off." Don't let people see me bullying you. Although I often bully peopleβ"
Jingwu smiled, she really didn't want Qiu Niang, who had been playing with her for a long time, to be sad and sad.
Qiu Niang took the towel handed by Jing Wu and gently wiped her face. Before she could thank her, Jing Wu took her dirty towel again and was about to wash it.
Qiu Niang turned her head slightly, and the moment her eyes brushed over her, tears flashed over her......
"I am grateful to the little princess, but I am afraid that I will be disappointed in the future."
"No," Jing Wu said briskly, "I don't want your thanks!" Are you still afraid of failing me? Alas, then you see that my mother has done a good job in this life, not to mention that my father has failed her, even God has let her down! So what did she do? β
Jingwu said that she liked to go around and go back to her father and queen mother, and Qiu Niang didn't know how to answer, so she could only be silent.
Jingwu doesn't care, she has always acted strangely, she is not happy for a while, and she is also stubble on Qiu Niang, which makes her petty child; But then she was happy, she wanted to treat Qiu Niang well, she felt that Qiu Niang was a little pitiful, as if she was a motherless child, like her.
The two of them began to meet again, and Jing Wu couldn't wait, he was too hungry to bear. So I pestered Qiu Niang to do it faster, and I had to help with it.
Qiu Niang still annoyed her, because she smiled and said: "Little princess, you can play elsewhere, I will call you to eat when I am ready." β
"Do you think I'm in the way?" Jing Wu rubbed the slimy water and looked up and asked.
"It's not in the way-" Qiu Niang said with a smile, and then turned to the front: "It's because you are in the way-hinder-foot!" β
Jing Wu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. She rubbed her dough and wanted to paste the Qiu Niang, and the Qiu Niang begged for mercy again and again......
For a moment, the small kitchen was full of laughter. Jingwu didn't feel hungry at this time.
The osmanthus sweet stuffed cakes out of the pot can be sweet and fragrant, the steamer is opened, the house is full of fragrance, every cake is steaming, Jingwu feels like entering the Chang'an market that year.
It was on the streets of Chang'an when I was a child, with steaming snacks, warm noodles, and hot buns...... Fragrant, eat a bowl, it's so warm, but also hungry.
At that time, in front of the hawker stall, there was still her Ermao. Ermao saw her smacking her lips and drooling, so she was reluctant, and she was willing to take out the money she had saved for a long time to buy her delicious food.
Jing Wu washed his hands clean, grabbed a cake and was about to swallow it in his stomach, but he was almost burned and couldn't even shake it off. was teased by Qiu Niang on the side: "Little princess, you take the chopsticks to eat!" β
She stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, then took the chopsticks handed by Qiu Niang, smacked her lips, and took a bite of the sweet cake: "It's delicious!" "This cake is very chewy, as soon as you enter the mouth, the aroma of osmanthus flowers is full of teeth, and the aftertaste is light, and it is very delicious.
Jingwu ate with relish, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked: "Qiu Niang, is the osmanthus in this cake a real osmanthus?" β
Qiu Niang laughed and said, "Can there be a fake?" β
"That's not, maybe you're bluffing me," Jing Wudao said, "You're so stupid to me, do you want to scream, is this the season of long osmanthus?" It must have been some other flower, mixed with some spices, to give it this taste. β
Qiu Niang was really shocked by this little princess, she didn't think that people would not only eat, but also think! Quite clever. Because he said: "It's really osmanthus! Can I deceive you, don't believe it, you smell it. β
Jing Wu leaned in and sniffed it carefully, but he didn't notice anything unusual, it was really the fragrance of autumn laurel.
Qiu Niang didn't hide it from the little princess, because she said: "This Gui is not Xiangui, Xiangui is not born in this season, so there is no way." But the fragrance of osmanthus is the most pleasant, and it can be flavored, and it is the most suitable for making cakes with osmanthus, so what to do? The method can always be thought of, so in the good season of the golden cinnamon, carefully pick off the fresh cinnamon little by little, wash and dry, seal it with a jar, pour it into the honey syrup, and compact it. Put the sealed jar into the ground, take it to eat in the coming year, the fragrance is pleasant, although it is not as tender as the fresh cinnamon, but the taste is more mellow, and it is excellent to make cakes and snacks. β
Jing Wu drooled and looked at Qiu Niang, this Qiu Niang only relied on one mouth, and carefully said the work of sealing osmanthus flowers, it was really like passing one job after another in front of people's eyes, which made people greedy and greedy.
But who is Jingwu? Can you just hear without using your brain? For he said, "Won't it rot if you put it under the ground?" Why don't you hide in the ice cellar! The plum wine made by A-Niang is sealed and put in the ice cellar, which is cool and delicious! β
Qiu Niang replied to her: "Silly princess, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other." The ice cellar is good, but it is too frozen, it can go to decay, and it can naturally remove the good fragrance of fresh cinnamon. β
"And where are you buried?"
"This 'underground' is not a thin layer, and to dig a deep and long road, you have to dig out the well waterβit's so deep! The shade below is cool and not frozen, which is a good place to store wine and incense. β
Jing Wudao: "Make a meal, and you are still so particular?" β
Qiu Niang replied with a smile: "What's not important about the things in the palace? β
"Also," Jingwu "took a piece of cake in his mouth" and said vaguely, "My father likes these." β
Hearing her mention Her Majesty, Qiu Niang was stunned. Jing Wu called her back: "What's the matter?" She chewed a bite of the cake and said to Qiu Niang with a smile: "Who did you learn this craft from?" β
Qiu Niang went to clean up the table and materials, but stopped talking to Jingwu.
Jingwu was originally half-sitting next to the table, but at this time he also jumped down, walked around to Qiu Niang, and said curiously: "Why don't you talk again?" You're weird now...... Did you learn from your mother? Or do you want to make cakes for your mother? β
Qiu Niang secretly wiped her tears.
At this time, Jing Wu couldn't bear it anymore: "If you have a problem, tell me, I may be able to help you!" β
Qiu Niang shook her head.
Jingwu was a little angry: "Are you looking down on me?" In front of His Majesty, I am indeed soft-spoken, and I should admit this. But now it's different from before, I still have a little servant to call, the prince's brother loves me, he will always help me, if I have any difficulties to ask him, he will definitely help me! β
Qiu Niang turned her face, her shoulders shrugged, and there was a slight sobbing sound between her noses. When Jing Wu saw her like this, he knew that she was crying. I couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Then it's my fault, I shouldn't be so domineering." Don't bother with me, okay? β
"I ...... My mother is long gone. β
Jing Wuyuan didn't want this Qiu Niang to say such a sentence! I felt so unbearable at the moment, this was my own bad, forcing someone to reveal the scar.
Then he said again and again: "What a pitiful ,...... is as pitiful as Jingwu, and he has no mother. β
The little princess felt that today was very boring, and even the sweet and fragrant osmanthus sweet stuffed cakes were not delicious, and she really couldn't whet her appetite.
Jingwu refused to go out for several days, her aunt also felt relieved, how difficult it is to raise a monkey, it just so happened that she accepted sex, who would provoke her to play.
But it also hurt her aunt. Jingwu stayed in Yichun/Gong and began to mess around, pestering A-Niang to teach her to make dim sum, all kinds of nonsense dough......
Jingwu didn't suddenly get excited, everyone thought that this child would get tired of playing for a while, but she didn't expect that she really learned to make dim sum in style.
After noon, Xiao Jingwu was still locked in the kitchen kneading dough, accompanied by her aunt, teaching little by little, and making a fuss about her. Who thought that this little splash monkey would stop, and the people who taught her were tired.
Fortunately, the prince went to Yichun/palace to look for her, and A-Niang hid lazy.
When Liu Zheng saw this ghost girl, this girl was kneading noodles with water, with a serious face. Liu Zheng stood far away and called out to her: "Si'er, what are you doing?" β
Jing Wu raised his hand, rubbed his face with his arm, and replied casually: "Pinch the noodles!" After saying this, she was shocked to realize that it was her brother who was standing at the door! jumped up, looking so happy: "Brother, why are you here?" Si'er misses you so much! Then she let go of her hand, rushed forward, and hugged her brother!
"Little girl has been busy lately?" Liu Zheng was also happy, and asked her with a smile.
Jing Wu realized that her wet hand had been pasted on her brother's body, she hurriedly withdrew, shrank back embarrassedly, and then asked the attendant standing behind the prince: "Hey, that...... Is there a big seal behind my brother? β
The attendants beside the prince are well versed in the temperament of the little princess, and they dare to be naughty in front of the little princess. Because he couldn't hold back his laughter, he was embarrassed and said, "Yes, yes......"
"Yes?" Jing Wu was taken aback, and pulled Liu Zheng to turn around: "I'll take a look...... Ay...... Yikes...... Brother is really sorry, it's all Si'er's bad ......"
"What's wrong with Si'er?" Liu Zheng is used to teasing her. treats this sister with a spoiled face.
He picked Si'er up and teased her with a smile: "Isn't this a little paw of Si'er?" It's good if my brother likes it, this seal can't be washed yet, my brother has to keep it, and take it out when I want to think about it. β
"Haha......" Jing Wu snuggled in the prince's arms: "That's right, brother let me down!" β
"What's wrong?" Liu Zheng was shocked by the little girl's serious appearance.
Jingwu jumped down from him and shouted, "Brother, I made delicious pastries!" You come and try it......"
"What did you do...... Pastry? Liu Zheng held back a smile, and couldn't bear to laugh at this serious little sister.
Jing Wu took out the hot osmanthus cake from the steamer in style, and came to the prince: "Come, brother, taste it, the taste may not be good, this is just what Si'er is trying to do." β
"This ...... What is it? β
"Osmanthus cake! Alas, what a stupid brother! Can't see the appearance, can't you smell the smell of osmanthus? β
