Chapter 50: Five-colored glutinous circles

"But, the eldest lady's slender jade hand, how good is it if it gets rough!" Mrs. Zheng looked at Luo Qingran in embarrassment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Mother Zheng," Banxia heard the movement here, and also stood up from the stove, and said with a smile, "Miss, this five-color glutinous round is specially made for the old lady." No, I've been busy since I got up in the morning, and I don't even let the slaves and maids help! ”

"The eldest lady is so filial!" Mrs. Zheng listened to Banxia's words and said with emotion.

"Where," Luo Qingran smiled, "Mother Zheng has won the award, and the juniors should be filial to the elders, which is also the right thing, which is the only one who has this heart." ”

"Oh," Mrs. Zheng waved her hand exaggeratedly, "The eldest lady said this, and the slaves and maids are all wronged for you!" It's just that you and your wife don't like to be public, the old slave has been in the house for so many years, and I dare to say that there is no more careful and kind master than you and your wife! ”

As he was talking, Banxia interjected and said that the glutinous balls were cooked, and Luo Qingran smiled at Mrs. Zheng and didn't say anything more.

Some things will naturally come out of other people's mouths, and there is no need to say too much yourself, but it will not show the truth.

Luo Qingran walked to the edge of the stove, saw that the glutinous circles were floating, and instructed Mrs. Zheng, "Mother Zheng, please find out the secret porcelain lotus bowl, so that I can put this glutinous round into it." ”

"Hey, eldest lady, wait a minute, the old slave will go and get it." Mrs. Zheng replied crisply, and then listened to Luo Qingran's instructions and went to find the lotus bowl.

This secret porcelain lotus bowl, the mouth of the bowl is open in the shape of a lotus flower, covered with a lotus leaf-shaped bowl lid, the bowl body and the outer wall are decorated with bare-grained lotus reliefs, the whole body is glazed, crystal clear and clean, very exquisite.

As she spoke, Mrs. Zheng carefully took a set of twenty small and delicate lotus bowls and respectfully handed them forward.

Banxia hurriedly took it lightly and placed them one by one, and then filled the glutinous balls in the pot, one for each color, and scooped them into the lotus bowl.

Luo Qingran put a small teaspoon of the prepared osmanthus sauce in each bowl, and then asked Du Ruo to take the cleaned calamus flowers, and put two flowers in each bowl.

When everything was installed, he instructed Banxia and Mrs. Zheng, "Mother Zheng, you go and call the Yuhuan Yuyu in your mother's house; Banxia, you go and call Poria Angelica here, you have to hurry up and send this glutinous round to Yuanxiangtang, the old lady is afraid that they will come back. ”

The two were ordered to go out.

After a while, he found someone and came back.

Luo Qingran calculated, there should be no more than ten people who can go back to Yuanxiangtang directly with the old lady, and she sent sixteen copies, which must be enough.

As for the manpower, plus Zheng Pozi and Banxia, she and Du Ruo are a total of eight people, and each person holds two bowls, which is enough.

I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore, and if it is broken again, it's not good.

As for why you brought Mrs. Zheng? Naturally, it was because from her mouth she would say what Luo Qingran wanted to hear.

When it was cleaned up, a group of people rushed out and went in the direction of Yuanxiangtang.

When I arrived at Yuanxiang Hall, the time was close to half an hour, Luo Qingran was waiting in the courtyard with people, and before he could speak, he heard a voice from the gate of the courtyard.

It was the Zhao family who came back.

Zhao took a group of daughters-in-law to Dajue Temple to pray for incense, but it happened that he asked for a good sign today, so he has been in a good mood. As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw Luo Qingran standing at the door with someone.

Zhao walked a few steps quickly, arrived in front of Luo Qingran, and said with a smile: "Why are you waiting here." ”

"Please grandmother," Luo Qing was slightly blessed, and led the people behind him to salute the Zhao family.

The moment she got up, she glanced at Xiao Zhao and Hua out of the corner of her eye, and saw that the two of them looked like their eyes were about to bulge out, staring at her deadly, Luo Qingran couldn't help but sneer in her heart!

When Zhao saw that they were all holding trays in their hands, he asked, "What are you holding here?" ”

"Grandmother, go in and sit down, you're going to be tired all morning." Luo Qingran smiled but did not answer.

Zhao smiled and glanced at her, and led a group of people into the hall of Yuanxiang Hall.

After everyone was seated in their places, Luo Qingran instructed the people she brought to put the five-colored glutinous circle in front of the ladies and aunts in each room, and she herself personally carried a carved lacquer coffee table that was sent to Zhao's side.

Zhao pulled her to his side and asked her, "Tell me about it, what is it?" ”

Luo Qingran smiled skillfully, "Grandmother, don't you taste it first?" My granddaughter has been doing this for a long time. ”

Only then did Zhao open the small lid on the lotus bowl, and everyone at the bottom followed Zhao and opened the lid one by one, and they all felt their eyes light up.

I saw that in the clear and verdant lotus bowl, the red, pink, yellow, white, and green five-colored delicate little glutinous round was lying quietly in the center of the bowl, and the clear soup could vaguely glimpse the honey-colored osmanthus sauce, wisps, like light yarn; Two pink and white calamus flowers float on them, swimming back and forth with the soup, which is really elegant!

"Grandmother can taste it?" Luo Qingran saw that Zhao was stunned and did not move, so he reminded him loudly.

Zhao woke up like a dream and smiled, "Obediently, this is so beautiful that I can't bear to do it!" ”

In fact, Zhao's words are not entirely true.

Although the food sent by Luo Qingran is very elegant, the Zhao family has lived for such a long time, and his identity has always been expensive, what good things have not been eaten? Haven't seen it? It's the imperial food in the palace, and I've eaten it many times!

The reason why she said this was because it was food sent by her eldest granddaughter, and she was so happy!

Just as Mrs. Zheng suddenly said loudly: "Don't be an old lady, the eldest lady is filial, this is your blessing!" This five-color glutinous round, the eldest lady has been making it since you went out, and it has not been cooked until it has just been cooked, it took a lot of thought and effort, you have to taste it! After speaking, he secretly glanced at Luo Qingran, and saw that Luo Qingran had been smiling, and finally let go.

She thought that if she said this, the eldest lady would be praised by the old lady, and she should not be held accountable for leaving her post without permission.

When Zhao listened to Mrs. Zheng's words, he smiled even more, and hurriedly reached out and scooped a ball to eat.

After tasting it carefully, Zhao also knew that what Mrs. Zheng said was true, and couldn't help but praise: "You have a heart." She knew that this girl must have put a lot of thought into it.

This glutinous round is laborious to make, but it is rare that she makes this glutinous but not sticky, which is very smooth. And in the soup in which she boiled the balls, she could faintly taste the sweetness of osmanthus sauce, but it was not so sweet, and there was a fresh aroma of calamus flowers, lingering in the throat for a long time.

"As long as my grandmother likes it." Luo Qingran smiled deferentially and obediently.
