Chapter 12 Late Change
When she got up early in the morning, Ah Xiu got up early, looked at Su Xin, who was sleeping soundly next to her, and smiled with relief: You are the one who has the same heart as yourself. I will definitely protect your husband. Ah Xiu got up lightly to freshen up, and quietly asked when Prince Ying'er came back yesterday and where he rested. Ying'er replied with a smile: "The princess was very happy when she saw Mrs. Su Xin coming, the princess came back late, and she didn't come back until the fourth watch, I heard that you and Su Xin slept down, so she nodded and went to the study." I heard that the lights were on all night, and I never went to any courtyard! Now the princess doesn't want to take a look?! ”
Ah Xiu's face flushed: This little girl, her mouth and heart are like a mother's womb, shrewd and ingenious. Thinking of this, Ashula came out of the room and said, "You are shrewd, little hoof! first
When I got to the kitchen, thinking about making something fresh, Ah Xiu raised her eyes but happened to see a large basket of eggs next to the case, and walked forward to pick up one to see, a layer of hoarfrost was very fresh. Suddenly remembered that he and the prince hadn't eaten eggs for a long time, so I had an idea, and looked around to see if there were any other fresh ingredients. Mother Sun happened to enter the kitchen, and when she saw Ah Xiu, she hurriedly saluted: "Princess, why did you come here so early, and the little one will give you a salute." Ah Xiu looked at it and smiled slightly: "Mother Sun came just in time, have you had any fresh ingredients in the kitchen recently?" ”
Mother Sun thought for a while: "Back to the princess, there is this big basket of eggs; There are quite a few mandarin fish in the tank outside, which were brought by your godson and daughter-in-law; Yesterday, more than a dozen tender ducks and pheasants were sent to the village, as well as dozens of catties of fine soybeans that were dried last year, and oh, and a jar of beans stewed in sauce; Then the new onions and greens in the yard have grown, and it is a good time. What does the princess want to do? When Ah Xiu heard these materials, he laughed and said, "Mother Sun plucked two bundles of shallots for me, I want them to be tender, and I don't want anything else." At noon, I will think about the rest of the things. ”
Mother Sun nodded and smiled and went, Ah Xiu asked Ying'er to roll up her sleeves and burn the fire on both stoves, while putting a cauldron on the shelf, and boiling water on the other. I took a handkerchief, tightened my sleeves, tied an apron, washed my hands and began to work. Ah Xiu took a large bowl, beat ten eggs, and beat a small half of it. Mother Sun also pulled back the green onions, and Ah Xiu asked her to wash the green onions, separate the green onions from the green onions, and cut off the green onions and chop them white. Ah Xiu stirred the chopped shallots into the egg mixture, dug out a bowl of flour, poured the egg liquid into the dough, and when Mother Sun saw Ah Xiu kneading the dough, she came up to help, Ah Xiu shook her head and asked her to go to another row of stoves to make breakfast in other rooms. Slowly and carefully kneaded the dough, kneaded, Ah Xiu kneaded the dough into a dough, then kneaded the small dough into flat strips, gently smeared with a thin layer of lard, rolled it up, and rolled it into a small cake. After finishing it, Ah Xiu asked Ying'er to burn another stove.
Ah Xiu waited for the pot on the stove in front of him to be hot, put the small cakes into the pot one by one and roasted them over low heat, divided the remaining egg custard in half, added a little salt, added water and put it into the pot of boiling water to steam. During this waiting time, Ah Xiu fried the green onion white section and the remaining egg custard in the pot after the burning, and put it aside. The cake in front was turned over, and Ah Xiu found some sesame oil and a little chopped shallots left behind, stirred well, and added some soy sauce to make a flavor dish. After tasting it, I took out the egg custard, put the flavor dish at the bottom of the food box, put the scrambled egg in the middle, beat another egg, threw a bowl of egg soup and put it in the food box, and finally picked out the scallion oil egg cake and put it in a small bamboo basket and put it on the top of the food box.
After closing the lid, Ah Xiu asked Ying'er to carry the food box and go to the study with her, Ying'er asked Ah Xiu: "Why does the princess do this by herself every day, now there are hundreds of people in the house, are you still worried about not knowing each other?" Ah Xiu smiled: "I have been with the prince for so many years, and he can only eat my food so as not to scold the cook." You may not be able to touch the prince's preferences, work hard, and you will not be happy to be scolded and beaten on the board. Ying'er was very moved: "The princess's craftsmanship is so good, and she does it quickly and meticulously, we can only stare at it dryly, and we admire it very much!" It's no wonder that the prince is picky, who can compare to the princess's willingness to spend her time to seize the prince's appetite and do these new looks?! Ah Xiu smiled and said no more. walked to the door, knocked on the door, Zhu Yuanzhang answered inside, and Ah Xiu pushed the door in. Ying'er took the food box and withdrew.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's red eyes and the boss's dark circles, Ah Xiu knew that this was staying up late, a little distressed, and when he looked around, it didn't look like he was approving an official document, and under the doubt, his tone was a little coquettish: "Since you came back late, why did you come here to stay up all night when you saw that Su Xin and I were sleeping?" Zhu Yuanzhang touched his head and said a little embarrassed: "Ah Xiu, you and Su Xin haven't seen each other for a long time, of course it's inconvenient for me to be disturbed, but I really don't want to go to other people's rooms, so I came here to sit and read two pages of the book, what's the matter?" This also upsets Madame? He raised his nose and asked, and said, "It smells so good!" It's serious to eat first when you're full! Ah Xiu, open it and show me what is so fragrant! ”
Ah Xiu opened the food box, brought it out and put it on the table, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "Among these, I have only seen this scrambled egg with green onions!" Madame, come and find out! Ah Xiu smiled sweetly and said, "This is steamed egg custard, poured on top of the soup from the saucer; This is a green onion quiche. This is sleeve soup. Most of it is made from fresh eggs. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait to finish speaking, so he started to move, while asking Ah Xiu to eat too. Ah Xiu looked at him eating, a trace of warmth hit his heart, and remembered that there was a sentence in a modern song many years ago, 'I really want to have a companion when I am lonely, and no matter how busy the days are, there are people to eat breakfast together', and now it is such a day, plain warmth.
Zhu Yuanzhang ate the food cleanly, stroked his stomach, and said honestly: "I don't know what virtue my five internal organs temple has accumulated, and my wife will cook food for me." Ah Xiu smiled, "In the past, I couldn't take care of these things, so I could only do it occasionally." Since Yuanzhang likes it, Ah Xiu will make it for you every day in the future, okay? Zhu Yuanzhang's square mouth grinned, and he laughed: "That's really my blessing!" Very good, very good! I'm just afraid that Mrs. will work. Ah Xiu remembered something and asked: "I asked Wen Zheng and Su Xin to stay with me for a few more days, anyway, it's rare that there hasn't been any war recently, so when you finish your birthday, can you call them back?" ”
"Good! Eating people has a short mouth, and sure enough, that's right! Madame made these for me to eat, and I didn't agree. But last night, Wen Zheng had already been ordered to return to Hongdu, as for Su Xin, listen to Mrs. Ah Xiu was shocked: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Is there something going on? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "No, I made him the governor, and he went back to serve first." Ah Xiu was anxious: "I haven't seen enough of my son, so I drove him away?" What a ruthless dad! I don't follow, Yuanzhang, you call him back again! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face showed up with a smile: "It's really rare for my family Ah Xiu to love children so much, several young masters in the house are in pain, and now everyone is married, and he thinks like a child who hasn't seen him for a few days, and he looks at it tightly!" Okay, okay, I'll call him back in a few days, and he'll come back when I do my birthday, so why bother! ”
Ah Xiu was a little relieved at this time, and suddenly saw the wrinkles and white hair on Zhu Yuanzhang's smiling face, and looked a little distressed: "In the past few years of accompanying him day and night, why didn't I find that Yuanzhang had so many wrinkles, and I also saw a few strands of gray hair on my sideburns, it can be seen that I was too negligent!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed generously: "Look at what you said, they are all old, and they are the fathers of several children, can they not be old?" It has nothing to do with Mrs., but Ah Xiu, you have worked hard for many years and have been worried for several years, in my opinion, you don't look very old! ”
Ah Xiu's face flushed: "Speaking of age again, are you still so indecent?" Could it be that I'm more handsome than Ying'er and them? As he spoke, he pursed his lips and got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Zhu Yuanzhang saw her like a daughter, and actually forgot that she was a middle-aged woman, hugged her waist, and buried her head quietly in Ah Xiu's neck, Ah Xiu thought that he asked for Huan in broad daylight, and was startled, and was about to push him away, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see any movement, shook him, but Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't push, I'm so tired, let me lean on for a while." With you, why be serious? With you, I feel at ease. ”
The two of them stood quietly like this, and the warbler outside snickered and pursed her lips, straightened up and looked at the weather: Today is a good day!
At noon, Ah Xiu called Zhu Yuanzhang and Huilan Lian'er a few people who had a good relationship with Su Xin, and dined in their own room, and the dishes were still arranged by Ah Xiu: squirrel mandarin fish, fried pheasant with braised beans in sauce, steamed cabbage with mushrooms, sweet and sour crispy duck, roasted tofu with dried shrimp, and shredded porridge soup with amaranth, all of which were full of color, flavor, and taste, and the family ate happily.
Ah Xiu picked up the cup: "I don't like to drink, today is a family banquet, there are no outsiders, I will drink two glasses, and you are not allowed to laugh when you are drunk!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and Ah Xiu said again: "Although I am Su Xin's mother-in-law, I originally regarded Su Xin as my sister, so I am happy today!" Drink! After pouring another cup, Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled, deliberately sour his face, and said to everyone: "Have you ever seen a princess who drinks so arrogantly?" I don't like to drink! Let's judge it! ”
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang teasing himself, Ah Xiu's face turned red, sat down, and still drank with Su Xinlian'er. In the morning, Zhu Yuanzhang promised to transfer Zhu Wenzheng back again, and Ah Xiu felt that he had done something that could change history a little, and he was very excited, so he drank happily.
After three rounds of drinking, he ran in a panic and ran into a person.
