A few girls in Songhe Garden are accompanying the old lady to touch the cards in the West Chamber, the old lady won the money and is happy, happily sitting next to her next to her The big girl Lu Qiao said, "Or you are intimate, know to help me win money, and go back and take the money to buy flowers for you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lu Qiao happily joked, "That's what you said, I don't want that cheap, you have to give me the most expensive one." ”
The old lady stretched out her hand and nodded Lu Qiao's forehead, and said unhappily, "You are a top-notch person." ”
The little girl at the door lifted the curtain and replied softly.
The second-class girl in the house, Green Yarn, got the letter, turned around and walked two steps inside, stood beside the old lady and said with a smile, "Grandma and Grandma have brought Miss Biao and the second young master here." ”
When the old lady heard this, she was so anxious that she pushed the cards in her hand, stood up and was about to go out to greet her.
Lu Qiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the old lady, and persuaded with a smile, "Old lady, don't worry, slow down." ”
The old lady didn't care about this, and took a few steps through the partition into the main hall.
Chen led Liu Ya and Chen Feng into the main hall two steps later, and stood in the hall to greet the old lady.
The eldest lady of the Chen family was born early and married in the capital, and now the old lady has two grandsons in front of her, not to mention that the two grandsons are also older, and they have long been no longer under the old lady's knees.
The old lady has no grandchildren to play, so she retreats to raising a lot of beautiful girls in the house, which can be regarded as eye-catching and addictive.
Now that Chen is back, he still has his little granddaughter with him.
The old lady has missed her daughter for many years, and her little granddaughter is also well-behaved and cute, getting along for many days, and the affection that has faded for many years is slowly becoming stronger because of the blood nature, and the old lady is thinking about the love of the two mothers and daughters of the Chen family is getting stronger and stronger.
The old lady's eyes fell on Liu Ya at this time, and she couldn't take her eyes off.
The little girl is pink and fair-skinned, soft and glutinous, and the old lady likes it very much.
She beckoned to Liu Ya and called softly, "Sister Ya, my sister, come to grandmother, grandmother has prepared red bean cake for you." ”
Liu Ya walked over obediently and smiled next to the old lady.
Looking at the corners of the little girl's slightly upturned mouth and the red mole flying at the corners of her eyebrows, the old lady couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little girl's face.
Soft and glutinous, just like kneaded glutinous rice dumplings, cold and soft.
The girl brought the red bean crisp over, and the old lady pinched one and sent it directly to Liu Ya's mouth.
Because it is specially prepared for children, the red bean pastry is very small, and the red bean paste in the garden is wrapped in soft white glutinous rice, like small red and white berries that have been peeled.
Liu Ya obediently opened her mouth and bit the skin of the red bean crisp, the old lady let go, Liu Ya's little tongue rolled, and the whole red bean crisp entered her mouth.
The old lady watched the little girl puff out her cheeks and chew softly, and the old lady felt as if she had eaten a pastry, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She couldn't help but take Liu Ya into her arms and kissed her twice on the cheek.
Chen Feng sat on a low stool beside him and looked at Liu Ya.
Chen Feng has been his eldest brother's follower since he was a child, he always runs around with his eldest brother, either to plague the fish in the pond, or to plague the flowers and plants in the yard, and finally the two of them go everywhere to scourge and make trouble.
It's only in the past few years that the eldest brother has grown up, and he started to do business with his father and uncle, he has fewer playmates, and he was thrown by his grandmother to the unobtrusive old man Gong as an apprentice, so he slowly accepted his heart and began to become more sensible and calm.
But no matter how sensible Chen Feng is, he is still a half-grown child.
Now that he sees his little cousin being cute and cute, he can't help but like it in his heart.
He couldn't help but open his mouth coquettishly, "Grandmother, you only remember your cousin now, you don't remember me, I also love to eat red bean crisp." ”
The old lady listened to this and asked, "You bastard, when did you scarce eat here?" ”
"Don't think I don't know, your little uncle is a monkey spirit who took your two brothers to secretly cook something in the back garden to eat, and you are rare and not here with me."
Chen Feng was exposed, blushed embarrassedly, and simply broke the jar.
He stood beside the old lady cheekily, snatched the tray from the girl's hand and said, "I love this red bean crisp, and my grandmother will reward me all today." ”
The old lady was stunned for a moment, patted the dwarf next to her and laughed, pointing at Chen Feng's smile and scolding, "The Chen family actually raised a bandit, this is to rob whatever you like, in the future, when you are older, do you have to rob a favorite daughter-in-law yourself." ”
The old lady promotes narrowness, and now that she is old, some rejuvenating people have no taboos, and they speak and act with less rules, and they want to promote the little grandson.
Chen Shiben was smiling and drinking tea on the side, and when he heard the old lady's words, his face widened in surprise.
When Liu Ya heard these unreliable words, she also rolled her eyes in her heart.
Where is Chen Feng's own grandmother, this is Chen Feng's enemy, this is not to see Chen Feng make a fool of himself.
Chen was a little unbearable, she put the teacup and diverted the topic, "Today, Sister Ya and I are going to eat at my mother's place, and my mother's private food can't be hidden." ”
"I remember that honey larks are the most delicious, but it's a pity that it takes some time."
"Sister Ya loves meat, but the red meat is too greasy, isn't there a sweet vinegar cinnamon fish in my mother's private dish?"
"Well, there are sea cucumbers, and it's not bad to pop sea cucumbers with green onions, but I'm afraid this sea cucumber won't be able to come out at this time, it's a pity."
"It's easier to make seaweed shrimp balls, and it's seafood."
"The pigeon is also good, the roast tastes the best, and the secret sauce in my mother's kitchenette is the best."
The old lady was stunned, listening to Chen's words, she couldn't help but think of the days when Chen was a girl at home, at that time, she spoiled this daughter, in order to get food for her daughter, the house changed a chef in half a year, and each cook could leave a few good dishes.
Fortunately, the Chen family is a merchant's home, and there are many restaurants in the business of Tiannan and Haibei, so you only need to replace the big spoon master in the restaurant at home in turn.
But when her daughter got married, she didn't care about these foods anymore, after so many years, where are these dishes still in the house?
The more Chen said, the more interesting it became, and the name of the dish was smooth.
"The fish skin porridge is also delicious, and the fish skin is also particular, but you can't just take a fish and have fish skin to eat."
"Yam beef, it sounds simple, but it is troublesome to make, the yam has to be hollowed out and stuffed with meat, and it must be used for frying and steaming."
……
Liu Ya and Chen Feng were fascinated by it, and there was more saliva in their mouths, so they couldn't help but swallow.
The old lady felt bitter in her heart.
Now the family can't do all this food, and if it continues, the people who serve in the kitchen will go crazy.
The old lady interrupted Chen.
"You haven't eaten good for many years, you actually think about this, you don't have time to do so much today, you will eat it slowly, and now when will you eat crabs in August, let the kitchen make some fresh crabs to eat." Most of the melons and fruits are also ripe just right, and pumpkin stuffed meatballs can also be made and eaten. ”
Chen smiled, nodded and continued, "Then eat crabs, crab roe tofu soup, crab stuffed orange, and drunk crab can be made." ”
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately her daughter has grown up, unlike when she was a child, she had to pester this and eat that.
The big girl next to the old lady, Lu Yun, is the best at eating, and the old lady instructed her, "Lu Yun, you go to the kitchen to see today's crabs, and if it is fresh, let the kitchen renovate a crab feast." ”
Lu Yun received the order and was about to go out, Liu Ya asked obediently, "Grandmother, can chrysanthemums also be eaten?" The chrysanthemums are so beautiful that I always want to eat them. ”
The old lady was stunned.
How do you eat flowers?
Liu Ya knew that chrysanthemums could also be eaten, and in her previous life, when she had nothing to do, she liked to fiddle with flowers and plants, and when she fiddled with flowers and plants a lot, she slowly began to like to use flowers to eat.
Beijing is prosperous, the man saw that she liked it, and actually found a good cook for her, and she spent half a day in the kitchen to make flowers and eat with the cook.
Speaking of crabs today, Liu Ya remembered the crab autumn chrysanthemum banquet she organized.
She couldn't help but ask more.
Chen also loved to eat when she was young, although she had never eaten this strange chrysanthemum, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with eating chrysanthemums. She loves her daughter now, and since her daughter wants it, she naturally has to give it a try.
Chen said with a smile, "Since chrysanthemums can be used as medicine to make tea, they can naturally be eaten, so it is feasible to let the kitchen think of ideas and give it a try." ”
Chan protects his daughter. Liu Ya was secretly happy in her heart, she didn't feel that she turned her head to look at Chen and smirked.
