The small kitchen is actually very tidy, and the floor is washed with water every day, and then wiped clean. The chef who came out of the imperial dining room was concentrating on looking down at Jinyi cutting fish at this time, Yun Hui was extremely curious, hesitated for a moment, and quietly stepped in with her skirt, and came closer to take a closer look.

The four-cheek perch has been skinned and deboned, and as Jin Yi gets up and down, it is slipped into a fish belly as thin as a cicada's wings. Her demeanor was serene and relaxed, and she carried a knife in her hand like flying, and the thickness of each slice of fish was the same.

The imperial chef on the side was full of shock, in addition to a sharp and good knife, the key is to have a calm wrist, he has been a cook for more than ten years, and the fish he has cut is not 10,000 but also 8,000, if he wants to make himself so uniform and thin, but he never has such a speed, this princess looks like her ten fingers are slender and do not touch the spring water, and she has such a knife skill, which is really breathtaking.

As I was pondering, the whole four-gills perch had been cut and neatly stacked on a plate, like a double-petaled peony in full bloom, crystal white and pure.

Jin Yi raised her head, saw that Yun Hui was a little surprised, and chuckled, "County Lord, go out quickly, don't get caught in the smell of fish." ”

Yun Hui is not as surprised as the imperial kitchen, but I think that just Cai Jinyi's focused and dignified demeanor looks like an elegant and elegant feeling, as the saying goes, all gentlemen are far away from cooking, she is in the place of cooking, and she is dressed like a chef, but it makes people feel that she is like a clear lotus out of the mud and not stained, standing in the water.

Yun Hui walked out of the kitchen and went up to the house. I have a trace of curiosity about Jin Yi's past, except for her appearance and purple eyes that are different from those of the Central Plains, she is no different from other aristocratic women, her demeanor is calm and noble, her words and deeds are generous and decent, gentle and gentle.

But she grew up in Shangxiutang, where the sinners were enslaved, and countless people died in it every year, and even if she was lucky enough to be elected to the palace, she was just an inconspicuous palace maid. In such a place, there was a princess, who not only behaved like a noblewoman, but also knew medicine and had excellent cooking skills.

Yun Hui thought, and her eyebrows couldn't help but soften.

When it was time for lunch, Yun Hui looked at Jin Yi who was sitting opposite, and for the first time did not speak sneering at her, while eating, she asked about Jin Yi's experience in Shang Xiutang.

Jin Yi was slightly surprised, smiled shallowly, and then told her about the past with a calm demeanor.

When I first learned embroidery, I often had ten fingers full of needle holes, and when my fingers were long and I could finally embroider exquisite embroidery patterns, I went to learn acupuncture, and my hands were scarred......

Yun Hui listened carefully to her talking about those difficult pasts, indifferent on the surface, but a little sad for her in her heart.

Talking about some interesting things, the wild cat that was adopted from the mountain and ran into the hall, secretly raised it for a few months before I knew that it was a tiger cub, and the amount of food was increasing day by day, at that time I and Qiaowei were still not full, where could we afford to raise it, and finally had no choice but to put it back in the mountains.

In early summer, the mulberry was picked with a bamboo bird made of Qiaowei, and the wine was buried under the plum tree, and it was taken out when it was freezing and snowy in winter.

There is also the infinite scenery on the cliff when you go out to collect medicine, picking wild honey with the fragrance of flowers in the deep mountains and old forests, and the thrilling ice fishing......

Yunhui listened with relish, raised her eyebrows and laughed, saying that Xie Weiran had also taken her to fish on the glacier when she was in Beisai, and when she was happy, her expression was a little gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "He probably doesn't know about me and Ming'er coming back." ”

Jin Yi was surprised, it has been more than two months since she came back, even if she sneaked out, she can't still come back to look for her now, right?

Yunhui sighed and whispered, "I didn't tell my mother, so you are not allowed to tell her old man,...... That time I had a fight with your brother-in-law, and he got angry and hid in the barracks, refusing to come back for two or three days. Later, there happened to be a military situation, so he directly took people to the north to inspect, and he didn't even return home. …… In a fit of rage, I just said a word to our old lady and came back. ”

"Does my brother-in-law have to go out on patrol every year? Don't come back for two or three months? ”

"Isn't it!" Yunhui frowned and said: "Sometimes it takes more than half a year to go, although there are many people in the city, but where is there such a prosperous Jianye, you don't know how pitiful I am over there,......"

As she spoke, she suddenly realized that she was talking to Jinyi as a close friend in her boudoir, and she couldn't help but stumble, saying that she was tired and wanted to take a nap.

Jin Yi didn't care, so he said: "The county lord will rest first, and I'll go to the garden to have a look and then come back." ”

Yun Hui only nodded, and entered the bedroom with Rouge and Fandel.

It is the hottest afternoon of the day, out of the Rufang Pavilion, the scorching heat wave is coming, Jin Yi walks alone along the hand-copying verandah to Qinxin Building, there are many purple roses planted on the side of the corridor, climbing and growing along the pillars, hanging down from the corner of the eaves, forming a natural flower curtain, swaying lightly with the wind.

Jin Yi walked and saw a few impatiens growing on the side, the purple and red flowers were blooming very gorgeously, and he thought that he could pick some back and dye his nails.

In fact, compared to cooking, Jinyi likes to play with flowers and plants.

Cooking, if it is only to fill the stomach, coarse tea and light rice can be, because people have the desire to eat and eat, they will change their tricks to cook the ingredients, not get tired of eating, not tired of fine, nothing more than beautifying the corpses of plants and animals.

Planting flowers and plants is different, watching them grow from small seedlings day by day, gradually flourishing, blooming complex and gorgeous flowers, and bearing fruit after flowering, even if the branches and leaves wither in winter, but when the spring warms next year, they will thrive again, repeatedly, and continue to live.

Or maybe she grew up in the desert and rarely saw green plants, so when she was learning the art of planting in Shangxiutang, she watched the carefully cultivated flowers and plants grow tenaciously and tenaciously, and the pain of the country's ruin and family's death in her young heart was gradually soothed and calmed down.

In the quiet afternoon, only the cicadas on the trees sang tirelessly, Jinyi only felt peace in her heart, looked around, and whispered to herself: This is my home.

The corners of her lips curled up, and the smile gradually spread to the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, in fact, it was not so difficult to get along with Yun Hui, although she had a strange temperament, she was far from being as sinister as Xu and Qin Jinxiu. Even for the concubine, he was not as cautious and scrupulous as he was when he served Old Madam Qin.

Maybe it's because the Qin family is not his birthplace after all, and he is not the real Qin Jinyi, but now Sima Yulou has given him a real home, which is exactly the place where he needs to manage it with his heart and strive to maintain family affection. (To be continued.) )
