Chapter 46: Eating Mung Bean Cake
The next day, Mengxing got up in the morning, thinking about the mung bean cake that the senior sister in the kitchen said yesterday, and wanted to go, but she was a little afraid, as for what she was afraid of, she didn't know very well, thinking about it, probably because she was afraid of the master's scolding. www.biquge.info Mengxing secretly looked in through the crack in the door, and saw that the master was lecturing with Miss Qian again, since curing Miss Qian's illness, in recent months, Master has been teaching Miss Qian scriptures every day. Seeing that Miss Qian's face was getting more and more ruddy, her body was getting stronger and stronger, and her belly was growing day by day, the master said that there was a little person in it, and she would come out when the time came.
When the master gave Miss Qian the scriptures, he would often talk for an hour before resting. Mengxing suddenly had a sense of urgency that she couldn't miss the opportunity and never came again, and she remembered the words of which senior sister in the kitchen in her mind, mung bean cake is even better than sesame cake, sesame cake is already delicious, mung bean cake can be even better! Mengxing still walked out of the gate of Hansong Courtyard, and Chu Yan, who was guarding the door, saw Mengxing come out and asked, "Mengxing, do you want to go back to the medicine house to get medicine?" ”
Mengxing smiled brightly and nodded like pounded garlic: "Yes!" Oh, yes! Tocolytics. "Because sometimes, when the medicinal materials in this courtyard run out, Qingyuan will tell Mengxing to go back to the medicine house to get it, so Chuyan Chujing didn't doubt him, and let Mengxing go alone. Mengxing walked on the road, thinking as she walked, in fact, Miss Qian hadn't taken fetal pills for a long time, and the master said that her fetal image was very stable, so she didn't need to take the medicine, I don't know if the two senior sisters of Chuyan and Chujing would ask the master?
In fact, Mengxing doesn't have to worry so much, because Master Qingyuan has always been cold, and the two little nuns of Chuyan Chujing didn't dare to speak casually when they saw her, and they wouldn't ask this kind of question for no reason.
Mengxing came to the kitchen and saw that the three of them were busy working, one of the two old grandmothers was washing vegetables and the other was burning the fire, and the senior sister who called herself to eat mung bean cake yesterday was chopping vegetables. Mengxing stood at the door, suddenly didn't know what to call it, she was a little annoyed, why did she forget to ask this senior sister's law name yesterday! The first to see Mengxing was Mama Liu, who was burning the fire under the stove, and she saw a little girl in a monk's robe looking into the kitchen at the door, and her eyes fell on Ying Fang, who was cutting vegetables with her back to her. It just so happened that she was sitting in the position of burning the fire and facing Ying Fang, so Mama Liu nodded at Ying Fang and glanced at the door, Ying Fang followed her gaze, and turned her head to see Mengxing standing crampedly at the door.
"Oops! It's Dream Star here! Why don't you come in and stand at the door? Ying Fang walked over, pulled Mengxing in, placed it next to a small square table for eating in the kitchen, and went to the cupboard to bring out a bowl and put it in front of her, "Eat, Mengxing, this is mung bean cake, it's delicious." Ying Fang looked at Mengxing with a smile.
Mengxing saw that this senior sister was so kind, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and also laughed, "Thank you, senior sister, this mung bean cake is green, it looks so comfortable, and it smells delicious." ”
Ying Fang smiled: "Isn't it, senior sister soaked the mung beans when she came back yesterday, and the powder that was ground early this morning used a lot of sweet sugar, and it didn't take long to make it, but it was delicious and sweet." Eat it! ”
Mengxing's eyes were crooked with a smile, and he thought to himself, this senior sister is really good, so he stretched out his hand and twisted a piece and handed it to Ying Fang: "Senior sister, you can eat it too." Ying Fang didn't shirk, smiled and took it with her hand and put it in her mouth to eat. Mengxing gave a piece to Mama Liu under the stove and Mama Sun who was washing vegetables in turn, and both of them took it over and ate it. After Mengxing finished doing this, she picked up a piece from the bowl and ate it herself, only to feel that her mouth was smooth, sweet and delicious, it was so delicious, she had mung bean cake wrapped in her mouth, chewing and swallowing, and she had to talk to Ying Fang: "Senior sister, the mung bean cake you made is really delicious." He nodded his head as he spoke, with a look of affirmation. Ying Fang was afraid that she would eat too quickly, so she choked, poured a bowl of hot water for her, and said, "Little sister Mengxing, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, and." ”
Mengxing looked at the three mung bean cakes left in the bowl and said, "Don't eat it, keep it for Master and Miss Qian, and give it to them to eat." ”
"Oh!" Ying Fang was a little surprised, "Then what about the remaining piece?" ”
Mengxing blinked, thought about it with a solemn face, and said, "Give Senior Sister Chuyan Chujing half of each person." ”
She was so cute, she laughed at the three people in the kitchen, Ying Fang touched her hair and said, "Mengxing, your master, Miss Qian, and Chu Yan Chu are all ready." However, you have to promise me one thing, after these pastries are wrapped, you have to give them all to Miss Qian, so that she can divide them among your master and Chuyan Chujing, otherwise, your master and the two little masters of Chuyan Chujing, who is guarding the door, will not allow you to come in the future after they know that you are here, understand? ”
Mengxing nodded as if he didn't understand, it seemed to be the truth.
Ying Fang said again: "Then you came here just now, and they asked you if you did?" ”
Mengxing: "Asked! The two senior sisters of Chuyan and Chujing asked, but my master and Miss Qian did not ask. She replied humbly.
Ying Fang said: "Then how did you answer?" ”
Mengxing smiled: "I told them, I'll go back to the medicine store to get the medicine." ”
Ying Fang boasted: "Yes, Mengxing, you are so smart, then you can come once every three days in the future, every time you come, there will be delicious food, not only mung bean cake in the future, but also chestnut cake, osmanthus cake, and fried fruit!" ”
Yes! With so many delicious foods that she had never heard of, Mengxing's eyes widened suddenly, and saliva involuntarily flooded in her mouth, she picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in her mouth and took a bite, pressing the overflowing saliva to prevent them from spilling out.
Ying Fang took out a tightly wrapped indigo coarse cloth bag from the cabinet, opened it, pointed to the white cloth bag inside and said to Mengxing: This white one you told Miss Qian to let her eat by herself. Then he pointed to a large green cloth bag and said to her: "This green one, you call Aunt Qian to distribute it to your master and the two little masters of Chuyan Chujing." In the end, Ying Fang took out another goose-yellow cloth towel, wrapped ten mung bean cakes, stuffed them into a large indigo cloth bag, and said to Mengxing: "This is for Mengxing." ”
Mengxing was happy to see that she still had so many mung bean cakes, and when she was happy, she remembered to ask a question: "Senior sister, what is your name?" What will I call you in the future? ”
Ying Fang wrapped the cloth tightly and put it into the basket brought by Mengxing, just right, "My name is Ying Fang." She said, "From now on, you can call me Senior Sister Ying!" ”
Mengxing's mouth said sweetly: "Hmm! Senior Sister Ying, Mengxing has written it down. ”
Bidding farewell to Senior Sister Ying, Mengxing generously carried the basket back to Hansong Courtyard.
Looking at Mengxing, who was getting farther and farther away, Mama Liu walked to the door, stood beside Ying Fang, who was still looking at Mengxing's back, looked at her, and asked worriedly: "Miss Ying, you say, can this work?" Mama Sun, who followed over on the side, also looked at the two of them nervously.
Ying Fang turned her head, stared at Mama Liu, and said word by word: "Mama Liu doesn't need to worry, it depends on tonight if she can do it." Even if it doesn't work, it's not much of a loss, is it? It's just a matter of locking us up and watching us a little harder, and there's nothing worse than now. ”
Mama Liu thought about it, probably agreed with her words, and didn't say anything more.
Mengxing returned to Hansong Courtyard with a basket of delicious farts, opened the crack in the door, and saw that the master was still teaching Miss Qian scriptures in the house, so he hid the basket first. After a while, the time for two hours of scripture preaching came, and Mrs. Qingyuan went back to her room to rest. Mengxing knew that every time the master reached noon, he would meditate for half an hour, so he brought the master a pot of tea and put it in the room, and then withdrew.
When Mengxing carried the basket and handed it to Qian Yuning, she was really taken aback, and asked a few words, hearing Mengxing say that it was given by Senior Sister Ying and the two old grandmothers in the kitchen, Qian Yuning's eyelids jumped, the kitchen, isn't that the place where Mama Liu and Mama Sun stay? Since Liu Sun and the two grandmothers left him and were driven to the kitchen by Dingyuan Shitai, the three of them have not seen each other for more than four months. Hearing Mengxing say that the white cloth bag was for herself, Qian Yuning first suppressed the eagerness in her heart, and handed over the green cloth bag to her according to what Mengxing said, and asked her to give some to the two of them who were guarding the door, and the rest was for Mengxing and Qingyuan Shitai. Qian Yuning, like Ying Fang, repeatedly told Mengxing that she must say that it was made by Miss Qian, specially made for them to eat, Mengxing nodded, and then ran out happily with her baggage.
Seeing Mengxing go out, Qian Yuning closed the door, put on the bolt, and then opened the white cloth bag, and at a glance, it was indeed mung bean cake inside, she was puzzled, so she moved her hand and crushed the mung bean cake one by one, sure enough, in one of the mung bean cakes, there was a small paper ball, Qian Yuning opened it and took a look, it was written "Liu Sun Pan Meet" Five crooked words, because Qian Yuning is also rough in writing and ink, probably can see clearly. She continued to crush the rest of the mung bean cakes, and a gold ring fell out of one of the mung bean cakes, the style was very novel, it was the most popular style in the capital last year, and it was awarded to Mama Liu when Qian Yuning just went to the Green Willow Courtyard, because Mama Liu was loyal to the Lord.
Now Qian Yuning put her mind at ease, and sure enough, it was Mama Liu who wanted to see her. But then, she had a hard time, how could she see this? At the gate of this Hansong Courtyard, the two female nuns guarded every day, although they were now familiar with themselves, but they didn't dare to be so bold to disobey the words of their master Dingyuan and let Liu Sun and the two grandmothers come in to see them. Since Liu Sun and the two grandmothers were sent to the kitchen, they have been here many times, but they have been blocked back by the two of them, and they have not been allowed to see Qian Yuning once. Also, the most important thing is Qingyuan Shitai, she is a senior with high martial arts, once there is any wind and grass, she can't escape her ears, and she has been living in Hansong Courtyard recently, she used to live here, Qian Yuning can not worry about her life safety, but now that she lives here, it is an obstacle, so that she and the two grandmothers can not meet. Qian Yuning fell into deep contemplation, what should he do?
After two days like this, Qian Yuning privately called Mengxing, gave her a basket, and said to her: "Mengxing, last time Senior Sister Ying Fang in the kitchen invited us to eat mung bean cake, she is so good, why don't we also invite them to eat our sesame cake, okay!" Mengxing felt justified when he heard this, and immediately said, "Okay! Last time, I ate Senior Sister Ying's mung bean cake for nothing, I was embarrassed, I didn't help her do anything, how good she was to me, now it's okay, we also invited them to eat sesame cake. Mengxing happily went out with a basket of sesame cakes and went to the kitchen. Chu Yan Chujing didn't ask much, but thought she had gone back to the medicine store.
Seeing Mengxing coming with a basket, Ying Fang caught her far away, and went into the kitchen together, Mengxing handed the basket in his hand to Ying Fang: "Senior Sister Ying, this is for you by Miss Qian, saying that you invited us to eat mung bean cake, and we invited you to eat sesame cake." Ying Fang smiled and handed it to Mama Liu, who was standing aside, and Mama Liu took it into the back room next to the kitchen, and after a while, took out the empty basket and put it on the table. Mama Liu and Mama Sun took out some delicious gadgets to entertain Mengxing, and Mengxing forgot to talk to Senior Sister Ying, and chatted with Mama Liu and Mama Sun while eating. Ying Fang went to the back room, opened the cloth bag, and saw that it was full of sesame cakes, she covered the cloth again, formed a palm with one hand, and crushed all the sesame cakes in three times and two times, and then opened it, in a piece of crushed sesame cake, there was a small paper ball, Ying Fang spread it out, and the words "meet on the fifteenth day" were written on it.
It turned out that Qingyuan Shitai and Mengxing would go back to the medicine house for two days on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, worship the Bodhisattva and recite Buddhist scriptures, as well as clean the medicine house, and by the way, purchase and add the medicinal materials that have been used up.
After Ying Fang read it, she burned the note, and came out again, and saw Mengxing sitting at the table, accompanied by Liu Sun and the two grandmothers, talking and laughing, and eating happily. Mengxing finished eating, and when she was about to leave, Ying Fang packed her with a lot of delicious food, and this time there were some dried fruits, which made Mengxing very happy.
This came and went, Mengxing went back and forth twice, and he became the postman of Ying Fang, Liu Sun and Qian Yuning without knowing it, and they all decided on things, and the time and place were also finalized.
