37. Jujube paste yam cake
Lao Mu's house is an old courtyard house, with rough carvings on the windows and doors, and there are traces of the late Qing Dynasty.
Concubine Mi stood in the courtyard, and through the courtyard she seemed to see the world she had lived in.
There she was the most favored princess of Changle in the Great Chu Dynasty, and she was selected by the young talents of the capital;
There, she was clothed and fed, and the beauties in the Lotus Pavilion fed the koi fish in her spare time, and the four female officials led by the red sleeves around her were sent by her;
There, she was tired of wearing silk and satin, and if anyone was disrespectful to her, even if it was just a look, she would be pulled away from the cane;
There, there are fathers, queen mothers and royal brothers who love her, and they will not be even more reluctant to let her suffer a little, what she wants to learn, what she wants to play, as long as she completes the schoolwork that the princess needs to learn every day, she will toss it.
She is the most wanton princess living in the palace of Da Chu, and her father also said that he would choose the world's first handsome and chic, talented man for her, but the queen mother said, as long as the horse loves you and is considerate of you, it is a hundred times stronger than the first person in the world, the royal brother rubbed her head and said seriously, marry a dissatisfied, we will change one, if this does not satisfy you, then change another one, if you want to learn from the princess of Sanyin, that made her blush and giggle.
The little girl sat under the eaves of the building picking beans, but when she looked up, she saw Concubine Mi standing in the yard crying, and asked cautiously, "Mimi, why are you crying, I provoked you?" β
Concubine Mi wiped her tears but flowed more and more, "I like your family." β
"Then why are you crying? Isn't it hungry, I'll cook right away. The little girl clapped her hands and stood up to go into the kitchen.
Concubine Mi touched her stomach and cried: "I'm hungry, I want to eat jujube paste and yam cake." β
"What's the cake?"
Looking at Xiaoya's stupid look full of confusion, Concubine Mi giggled, "I know how to do it, I said are you okay?" The jujube paste yam cake is delicious, my mother ...... My mom made the best. Do you have yams, red dates and glutinous rice flour in your house? β
Xiaoya licked her mouth, "Mimi, tell me again what kind of cake is that, is it as delicious as a chicken cake?" Have you ever eaten it? My mother said that your family is a big landlord, and what you used to eat was all delicacies from the mountains and seas, is it true? β
"Jujube paste yam cake, sweet, soft and easy to digest, can also replenish qi and blood and strengthen the spleen and stomach."
Xiaoya understood half of the silly smile, "Mimi, I like to listen to you, you speak very well, and you are still smug from time to time." β
Concubine Mi smiled, "Then do you want to eat it?" β
Xiaoya licked her mouth again, "I want to eat!" There are red dates harvested last year at home, and yams are also planted in the vegetable garden in front of our house, but there is no glutinous rice flour, Mimi can use flour instead, and there is a small half bag of fine noodles at home, let's use some secretly. β
"Okay. Is there any sugar? A little sugar is also needed. β
"Yes! I know where my mom hid the sugar, Mimi, come with me. β
The two girls held hands and sneaked into the east wing.
When the red sun is in the sky, the members who are lighting corn in the field are dripping oil.
The beads of sweat on Mu Hongyi's face fell to the ground and shattered eight petals, and the sun shone on his muscular arm with a red copper color.
Mu Changsheng was old after all, and he stood on the ground to rest with an iron fork.
Wang Meifeng saw it, looked up at the sky and walked over, "Hongyi, it's too hot this day, or I'll get here first in the morning, look at your grandfather." β
Although the old man is old, his ears are good, and he is a little stubborn, "Look at what I do, I can do it." β
Mu Hongyi wiped his sweat with his sleeve, ignoring the old man's strong words and blowing the whistle, the members seemed to be alive all of a sudden, complaining and complaining, laughing and laughing, but the most people who didn't want to talk because of fatigue.
"I still go to work at three o'clock in the afternoon, and if I come late, I will deduct half a day's points."
The young one sighed loudly and deliberately, and was slapped on the head by his parents and scattered home.
"Grandpa, let's hurry home, I'm hungry, I don't know what Xiaoya has made." Mu Hongyuan wanted to help Mu Changsheng was glared at by Mu Changsheng, "Go ahead, I'm not old enough to ask someone to help me." β
"Go on the side, don't make your grandfather angry." Mu Jinwen slapped his son from behind.
"You light, it's not your son who fights, right, isn't it filial piety to our Hongyuan." Wang Meifeng slapped Mu Jinwen from behind.
"By the way, Hongyi, you have brought your daughters to our family, when are you going to marry, how are you going to marry, have you told your parents?"
"I'll take a telegram when I'm free."
Mu Changsheng spoke at this time, "How else can you marry, the east chamber is yours, the west chamber belongs to the second family, and the west chamber where Hongyi lives now is a new house is very good." β
Wang Meifeng said "hi", "Dad, didn't I think about it, Hongyi's mother is not here, I, the eldest mother, want to Zhang Luo Zhang Luo for Hong Hongyi, I don't mean anything else." β
Mu Changsheng breathed out from his nose, "Hongyi Hongyuan, come over to help your grandfather, and his legs are sore all morning." β
"Okay grandpa." Mu Hongyuan hurriedly held Mu Changsheng's left arm.
"Grandpa, your eldest grandson won't let you down." Mu Hongyi, who was holding Mu Changsheng's right arm, said in a low voice.
Mu Changsheng snorted, "Don't shoot the telegram, it costs a lot of money to shoot the telegram, write a letter to your parents to admit your mistake, you provoked your parents don't think I don't know." β
Mu Hongyi sneered.
"Are you going to let that girl stay in our house for a long time or just for a few days?" Mu Changsheng asked again.
"Permanent."
"Then you take her to register. In the morning, you hugged people in front of a large group of members, and now you are directly bringing people to the house, what do you want to do, I can tell you that there are no people in our family who mess with the relationship between men and women, let alone people who use power for personal gain, that kind of crooked atmosphere Our old Mu family will never be allowed to touch a little, so hurry up and take the girl to register. β
"Yes, Grandpa." Mu Hongyi subconsciously gave Mu Changsheng a military salute.
"Fuck off, I'm angry."
Wang Meifeng sighed, "You said it would be better if you didn't retreat." β
"Sensei." Mu Changsheng reprimanded, and Wang Meifeng immediately shut up.
Nothing to say all the way.
As soon as Mu Hongyi and the others entered the house, they smelled the sweet aroma, and Wang Meifeng was angry, "Dead girl, did you touch my sugar, come out." β
"Sister Mimi, you go, you go." The little girl folded her hands together and pleaded.
"If you don't just use some sugar, what are you afraid of, the aunt is so kind and generous, she won't care about that sugar." Concubine Mi picked up the stacked jujube paste and yam cakes on the plate, opened the curtain and showed a smiling face, "Auntie, you can taste the delicious cake I made with Xiaoya." β
Wang Meifeng, who was wearing a high hat, couldn't get off for a while, so she bit Concubine Mi's hand.
"Delicious, right?"
Wang Meifeng smacked her mouth, "I haven't tasted anything yet, it's soft, sweet, and suitable for my father." β
This is the second time I have seen this Yan sΓΉ old man, and Concubine Mi is not afraid of the wrinkled and swarthy face that looks like Mu Hongyi is old, "Grandpa, you eat." β
Concubine Mi held the plate and handed it to Mu Changsheng's lips, with a sweet smile on her face.
Mu Changsheng coughed lightly, "You guys eat, I don't like to eat these sweet things." β
And he lifted his feet and went into the house.
Mu Hongyuan took a piece and ate it himself, and gave a thumbs up to praise, "Sister-in-law, it's delicious." β
Wang Meifeng stuffed a piece into her man's mouth and ate another piece to herself, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the glass jar where she held the white sugar, and raised her hand to give the little girl who was eating the cake a slap, "Loser girl, you have harmed me with all this bit of sugar." β
Concubine Mi stuck out her tongue to hide behind Mu Hongyi, smiling as if her face was full of honey, "You taste it, it's really delicious." β
Mu Hongyi picked up one and ate it in two bites, his mouth was full of fragrance, and he couldn't help but take another one, seeing this, Concubine Mi smiled and said, "This is the sweetness promised to you." β
Mu Hongyi was stunned, looking at her smiling pear vortex's sweet little face, he really couldn't compare with her, but fortunately he snatched the plate in her hand and went to the hall, "Little girl, what else did you get besides this, grandpa is hungry, let's set the meal." β
The little girl chewed the cake in her mouth and hurriedly replied, "Mixed with a handful of rice to cook corn porridge, steamed corn buns, fried a big bowl of kidney soybean oil residue, and a big bowl of green pepper fried shredded potatoes." β
The workers all went to the house to sit at the dinner table, and Concubine Mi learned from the little girl to serve the food up.
After finishing it, Concubine Mi sat down next to Mu Hongyi and persuaded her to eat sweetly, "Grandpa, do you taste it, this jujube paste yam cake is not very sweet, although there is no glutinous rice flour I replaced it with flour, but the taste is okay, it can replenish qi and blood and strengthen the spleen and stomach, it is best to eat in summer." β
As soon as Concubine Mi's voice fell, there was silence at the dinner table, and Concubine Mi looked left and right, "What's wrong?" β
"Grandpa doesn't eat, you eat honestly." Mu Hongyi wrote a chopstick and shredded potatoes and put them in the bowl of Concubine Mi, "Eat." β
"Who said I don't eat." Mu Changsheng took one of the chopsticks and put it in his mouth, took a bite, and nodded, "Not bad." β
"Yes, it's delicious, grandpa, you can eat another one."
Mu Changsheng paused and ate another one.
Mu Hongyuan opened his mouth and smiled.
Mu Hongyi also smiled, "Grandpa will eat it himself, you eat yours." β
"I'm filial to my grandfather."
Mu Changsheng's drooping eyelids moved, as if he was smiling, "Your filial grandfather has received it, let's eat." β
Wang Meifeng laughed and teased, "Grandpa has shouted, Hongyi, you hurry up and take her to register, you can be regarded as lucky, pick up a daughter-in-law who doesn't want anything." Hongyuan, learn from your cousin. β
Hongyuan grimaced and nodded stubbornly.
