I once had a friend who was not very much a bosom friend and said that if you want to please people, you must love all living beings. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info So, this friend of mine is not only good for men, but also good for women.

I was a little envious of this, so I asked her, what kind of fraternity is it?

She said quietly, "Have you ever heard of the love of the emperor? The love of the emperor, the rain and dew are sprinkled, and all living beings are clothed. ”

This friend of mine, she loves to read ancient romance novels.

Although I didn't really take her words seriously, the act of cooking lotus seed soup now shows that I have a lot of thoughts. I'm trying to please them.

Xu is Yueying felt that my approach of "sprinkling rain and dew evenly and covering all living beings" was too generous, and she felt a little distressed about the bowl of white lotus seeds, so she stayed for a long time and didn't squeak.

I squeezed her with a slanted shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be stingy, the weather is dry, and everyone can drink a bowl of lotus seed soup to reduce the anger." ”

She came to her senses and said, "Yueying is not reluctant, it's just that this lotus seed soup was originally boiled for the old lady, if everyone shares a bowl regardless of whether they are high or low, then ...... What should the old lady think? ”

After I thought about it, I felt that what Yue Ying said was also reasonable. The spatula in my hand stirred the lotus seeds, and I said, "Then this lotus seed soup was given to everyone by the old lady, so it's okay, right?" ”

Yue Ying said happily: "That's good!" ”

I crouched down on the stove and stuffed a few dry sticks of wood inside. Yue Ying told that the lotus seeds must be boiled to maturity, so that the lotus heart can be peeled off, and the unripe lotus seeds will be wrapped in the lotus heart, and the lotus seeds will be extremely bitter when they are eaten in the mouth.

Because the process of boiling lotus seeds is very long, during this long time, Yu'er and I stayed in the kitchen and ate a lot of snacks, melons and fruits. Yue Ying went to spread the word all over the house, sprinkling the old lady's "grace" on everyone.

By the time she returned, Yu'er and I had already burped our snacks, and the lotus seeds in the pot were cooked to the point of being seven or eight times cooked. Yue Ying went to get some white fungus and other ingredients to reduce the fire, and poured them into the cauldron together.

The whole kitchen is filled with the fragrance of lotus seeds. Yueying stirred the soup and said, "I smelled the fragrance outside the courtyard just now, and it won't be long before they come over to get the lotus seed soup." As he spoke, he looked at me again and said with a slight smile: "Although it is said on the surface that this lotus seed soup is given to everyone by the old lady, everyone up and down the house knows that the lotus seed soup is boiled by Zhu Niang." Zhu Niang has done a very good thing. ”

Yu'er pouted on the side, and said dissatisfiedly: "The lotus seeds were picked by Yu'er, didn't Aunt Yue tell them?" She lowered her head and pinched her little finger again, and continued: "Yu'er's hands were sore yesterday. ”

I laughed out loud, smoothed Shun Yu'er's forehead with my hand, and said to Yueying: "When they come to get lotus seed soup, Yueying, you have to remember to say it." ”

Yue Ying smiled, walked up to Yu'er and said, "Aunt Yue didn't forget, Aunt Yue told them, and they all said that the little lady might be dry, but she could be diligent." ”

Yu'er raised her head at this time, her eyes blinked, and she said shyly: "Do they really say that?" ”

"Hmm." Yueying nodded earnestly.

Yu'er twisted her little hands, looked even more ashamed, and said: "My mother has also picked a lot, and I want to praise my mother." With that, the little red face looked at me.

Yue Ying also turned her head, first with a surprised look, and then covered her mouth and smiled.

I was a little confused by her laughter, so I asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

She tapped my cheek with her hand, couldn't speak, and said with a smile: "Zhu Niang...... ...... on the cheeks It's smeared. ”

Only then did I realize that it was because I accidentally smeared the pot with smoke when I added fuel to the fire. Yu'er said "Huh", and she also wanted to take a look. After looking at it, my little finger rubbed my face and smiled: "Mother, I can't wipe it off." ”

Yueying stood up, stopped laughing, and said, "Zhu Niang and the little lady go and clean up first, just have Yueying here." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go back with Yu'er first, and I'll be back in a while." As soon as he walked to the door, he turned to her and said, "Keep the old lady's share, and I'll send it over myself later." ”

Yue Ying answered, and went to the stove to open the lid to check the color of the soup.

I took Yu'er back to the room, wiped my face with hot water, and changed clothes for myself and Yu'er. After tidying up, I went to the kitchen. In the past few days, I have walked all over the big and small corners of the Blue Mansion, so it is not much trouble to go anywhere.

As soon as I walked to the courtyard gate of the kitchen, I came across a maid holding a vermilion lacquered wooden plate that was turning out of the courtyard door, and a deep white porcelain bowl was resting on the wooden plate.

I thought she should have come to get the soup, so I asked, "Is the lotus seed soup ready?" Is everyone done? ”

This casual question startled her. She looked at me in amazement, her face suddenly changed, and she bowed to me nervously and hastily. The white porcelain bowl on the wooden plate was moved, but fortunately it was not toppled.

Only then did I notice that the maid in front of me was someone next to Aunt Qing, called "Yingqiao". I said gently, "Don't panic, walk carefully." ”

The lower her head drooped, she replied, "Yingqiao came here to get lotus seed soup." ”

I forgave her for her hard work as a maid, and I was a little afraid of me, a young lady, so I said, "I know, you can go." ”

She bowed deeply again and walked out of the courtyard.

Entering the kitchen, Yue Ying was standing in front of the stove and was serving the lotus seed soup in the pot into a porcelain bowl with blue water.

I looked at the remaining lotus seed soup and asked, "Everyone came here to get it?" ”

Yue Ying said happily: "Everyone has finished dividing the lotus seed soup. Zhu Niang didn't see it just now, but a lot of people have come, and the kitchen is lively. ”

I smiled back at her, looked at the porcelain bowls on the stove, and asked, "Which bowl is the old lady's lotus seed soup in?" ”

Yueying pushed out a porcelain bowl with a blue pattern painted on a white background and said, "This is for the old lady." ”

I quipped, "I guess this bowl is the most expensive." ”

Yue Ying smiled and said, "I'll take a wooden plate for Zhu Niang, the lotus seed soup that just came out is a little hot." ”

When I saw the scarlet wooden plate, I thought of Fang Cai's incident, and sighed: "I just met Yingqiao's maid outside the courtyard, and when she saw me, she was like a mouse seeing a cat." Yueying, do you think I look so scary? ”

She brought the porcelain bowl to the wooden plate and comforted me: "Everyone is watching Zhu Niang's goodness, so don't worry about her." ”

Yu'er pulled a corner of me and said, "How can my mother say that she is terrible? Mother-in-law is the best-looking mother-in-law. ”

I said half-disgusted, half-happy: "My Yu'er is too sincere." ”
