Chapter 14 Eye-Rim
Wisteria was thinking about it here, and Ruchun came out over there to call everyone to eat lunch first. Wisteria and Cai'er went to the well to wash their hands, and when they came back, they saw two mothers-in-law carrying a table under the shed. In the past few days, because there are too many dishes in the kitchen, everyone has moved to the yard to eat.
The two went to help bring out the dishes, in the past, meals were served in bowls or basins, but today they were all replaced with plates, and there were actually eight dishes, there were fish and meat, Wisteria knew in his heart, this is the winter pattern will eat here.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw Ma Wujia smiling and inviting Dongwen out to sit on the top, and Dongwen did not delay sitting down generously, and everyone in the Hulala kitchen sat down, but no one moved chopsticks.
"Don't be restrained, I'm also cheeky to join in the fun, how you usually do it now."
"Oh, what did the winter girl say, you are a distinguished guest that we can't usually invite, quick, try this fish, specially bought from the county, fresh and fat."
Dongwen stretched out his chopsticks and picked them, and everyone started moving. Wisteria stared at the plate of fish, which was very well done, it was braised with heavy oil and sauce. Wisteria has never liked to eat such a heavy dish. Yesterday, I looked at the set menu, and all the hot dishes are still some heavy oil sauce. Her eyes lit up, and she remembered a dish she had eaten in her previous life.
Cai'er next to her saw that she only watched and didn't eat, so she turned her elbow, and Wisteria hurriedly pulled back her thoughts.
"You're Sister Zirui's godsister, right?"
The next person does not pay attention to eating without saying anything, and sometimes feels that talking at the dinner table can increase feelings.
Wisteria stood up when he saw that he was asked by Winter Pattern, and said to Winter Pattern Yifuli: "Hello Sister Winter Pattern, my name is Wisteria." ”
Dongwen waved her hand to sit down, but the corners of her eyes were full of smiles, "No need to do this, I have always been good friends with your sister, and I have been busy for a while, so I will go to my place often when I am free, so let's eat." ”
Wisteria sat down and began to eat. She eats slowly, and chews carefully in every bite, only picking vegetables and eating them on the plate on her side, a very cultured look, and she nods her head in her heart. When she first came in, the four of them were choosing vegetables, only the slender horned silk beans in front of her were neatly arranged, and the rotten leaves thrown on the ground were also put into a small bucket. Thinking that a few days ago, Zirui deliberately talked to herself, wanting this godgirl to go to the second lady's yard to be a third-class, although she promised to help, but after all, she didn't see anyone, and she didn't have a score in her heart. Now looking at the meticulousness of doing work and the way of talking and eating, it can be cultivated.
Wisteria also breathed a long sigh of relief, this is trying to recall what the young lady in those TV series thought of eating, thinking that although she usually does not eat like Ruchun like she has been hungry for three hundred years, she also eats in large gulps, looking at Dongwen smiling and looking at herself, Wisteria's heart is as comfortable as drinking cold soda in such weather.
After eating, the cooks were still discussing what to do with this dish, and this time they did not enter the house, but gathered at the stone table in the courtyard. The rest of the people did their own work according to their morning work. Wisteria took out a large wooden basin from the house, and poured a bag of noodles into it with Cai'er, Cai'er rushed to make noodles, Wisteria grabbed her, "I'll come, I'm older than you, I'll come." After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and motioned for Cai'er to pour water into it.
Dongwen looked at these two people cooperating with this big basin of noodles, the two did not speak but had a tacit understanding, and Wisteria was also very good at working, there was no flour on his body at all, and the circle of the basin was also clean.
"Sister Dongwen, drink tea, this is specially sent by Mother Wu, saying that there is no good tea in the kitchen, I am afraid that my sister will not be used to it." Dongwen looked at the little girl who had been chattering around her since she entered the house, ignoring her, but turned her head to Ma Wujia and said:
"Supposedly the first time I've been in the kitchen, it's not my turn to say that, but my mother's assignment is really inappropriate."
Ma Wujia looked at the fact that except for himself and the four cooks who had a total of dishes, everyone else was very busy, only this one jumped up and down like a spring, and his old face turned red all of a sudden, this Wu Wenxiu, arranged for someone to look at the wisteria and send a clever one, making such a heartless person affect himself.
"Ruchun, go to the backyard and bring some firewood back, and the soup will be boiled on the big stove in a while."
"Ah~~ Why is it, I still want it here, that, that ......" Ruchun wanted to find a job, but after turning around and seeing that there were people doing every job, he said that it was not good.
"Where did you come from, just go if you are told to go, hurry up, can you afford to make the soup by Sister-in-law Yao?"
Ruchun didn't dare to speak anymore when she saw the Ma Wujia's really gloomy face, she hung her head and walked to the backyard, but when she came to Wisteria, she glared fiercely.
Wisteria actually didn't pay attention to this little episode at all, and kept thinking about that dish, and now hearing that it is going to boil broth has strengthened the feasibility of this dish.
A few people over there were still studying the dishes, and they proposed that one was rejected by the winter pattern, and from the noon study to the end of the day, there was no one who satisfied the winter pattern. Dongwen looked at the three barely able dishes in his hand, and thought to himself, can he only take this back to the old lady?
"Well, you go about your own work first, and I'll take a look." Dongwen waved his hand at the five families and asked them to get busy, and he took the list and thought about it carefully.
"Sister Winter Pattern is so resting, let's take a sip of tea to moisten my throat." Winter Wen looked up and saw that it was wisteria, so he smiled and took the tea in her hand and took a sip.
"I see that you have been working, although it is okay to do more work at a young age, but I heard your sister say that your body is also seriously ill, so you must not pay attention to yourself."
"Sister Xie Dongwen's mention, relying on the care of her godmother and sister, is fine now."
Dongwen saw that she was using her hand to draw circles on the table with a little tea stain just now, and knew that she had something to say to herself, could it be that she was wrong, she was a clever person, and her son would have no one to come over and set up with herself. I thought so in my heart, but my face did not show it, nor did I squeak, and I didn't see it at all. After a while, I listened to Wisteria speak,
"Sister Dongwen, I heard you all discussing the menu, and seeing that you didn't decide what to do, I dared to come over and come up with an idea."
Dongwen didn't expect her to be this as soon as she opened her mouth, and the little contempt just now was gone, so he took her hand and said, "Good sister, sit down and talk to your sister." "Dongwen is really not satisfied with these three dishes.
Wisteria didn't twist either, and sat squarely opposite the winter pattern. "When I was young, my father liked to listen to books and tell stories, and every time he came to the village to tell a story, he would go to listen to it, and he would invite the storyteller to his home, and he would entertain him with good food and food, and talk all night." Wisteria said the words he had just made up, no matter what the original owner's father liked before, the Xie family would not send someone to inquire because he had such an idea.
"After listening to it, Dad will always pick up some good news for us to hear. There was a story about a rich man who was sick with wealth and could not eat things with big oil and meat, and could only eat vegetarian food, but the old man was used to eating chicken, duck and fish, how could he eat coarse tea and light rice sent from the kitchen, and he had to be trained every time he delivered food. Once, the little guy who delivered the meal was beaten by the old man and fined the monthly silver in the kitchen.
"It's sad for the people in the kitchen, and everyone won't do it. On this day, the youngest son of the lady in charge of the kitchen ran in with a fish in his hand, and threw it into the pot with his mother on his back.
"When it was ready, the lady in charge smelled the smell and came in, took a sip of the soup, it was very delicious, and asked someone to serve a bowl to the master, and the master rewarded the lady heavily."
After wisteria finished speaking, he looked at the winter pattern, judging from the experience of eating fish a few times, there is no precedent for this dynasty to make fish fillets into slices, and even if there is, it is fried in oil with slurry.
Dongwen's eyes lit up when he listened, "Did your father say what ingredients are put there?" ”
"I said a lot at the time, I went to the kitchen and looked at it, and I should be able to remember."
"Okay, let's go, let's go see it now." Winter Pattern was happy, took Wisteria's hand and went into the kitchen. Pointing to the first-class ingredients on the stove, he said, "Let's see, if it's enough." ”
Wisteria pretended to think about it while watching, and when it was almost time, he said to the winter pattern,
"Sister Dongwen, there are enough ingredients here, but I think the old lady specially explained that she would use the water of Bailao Spring and the vegetables on our Zhuangzi, so can we go to the vegetable garden to pick our own vegetables, there are also fish in the river next to the vegetable garden, and the taste is extremely delicious."
"Yes, that's right, I went to the menu in a hurry, but I forgot about it." After speaking, he turned to a room of dazed cooks and told the idea of wisteria just now.
"We have made soup with fish fillets, and we have to put vegetables on them, this, this, we haven't done it before." Ma Wujia's face was embarrassed.
Wisteria took a step forward and said, "I'll tell you the specific steps of how to do it, it's just a matter of troublesome for the fifth aunt to do it, and I will prepare the ingredients I need." ”
When Ma Wujia heard her say this, they were silent, anyway, they didn't have a good idea, a few dishes they said just now were rejected by Winter Pattern, and they finally made up three, and they didn't see Winter Pattern go back for a long time, and they were not satisfied at first glance. That's fine.,If you succeed, you can do it yourself.,It's this girl's idea to be unsuccessful.,Thinking of this, she smiled at the winter pattern and said: "The winter pattern girl said yes, just tell us what you need." The latter sentence was said to Wisteria.
"There's no need for anything else, wait for Sister Dongwen to come back and the old lady agrees, my aunt just needs to lend me your eldest son to touch a few fish in the river in the vegetable garden, and then let Cai'er and I pick some vegetables."
How could the Ma Wu family refuse, everyone waited for Dongwen to reply, and after a while, Dongwen led a little girl and a mother-in-law over. As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she beckoned Wisteria to come forward, patted her hand and said:
The old lady said that this idea was very good, and sent Mrs. Xia and her granddaughter from the small kitchen, Mrs. Xia's kung fu in making soup is first-class, and Xiaohua is also a good hand at cutting patterns, so these two people will be handed over to you. After a while, the little guy in the outer courtyard will carry four loads of water from the Broadway Spring, you should be careful, and if there is anything else, you will send Xiaohua to find me. ”
After finishing speaking, he took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it into Wisteria's hand, stopped Wisteria's refusal, and said: "The day you admit that I can't leave, I really can't leave, it's too late to make up, don't dislike it, just go to me if you have anything in the future." After speaking, he explained a few words to the Xia Pozi and the Ma Wu family, and went back.
The expressions of the people in the courtyard were all kind, and the expressions of the Ma Wujia were complicated, and Cai'er was sincerely happy...... Ruchun slipped out happily while everyone was not paying attention.
