Chapter 118: Cinnabar Tofu II
"Senior brother?" Lin Yuxiao called him outside the door, and was carefully guarded in case a vision of heaven and earth appeared.
"Please come in." Yue Linfeng quickly responded.
The door was hidden, Lin Yuxiao gently pushed it open, Yue Linfeng stood by the window with his back to him, the window was open, and the wind on the river in early spring was still cold, so as soon as he came in, he felt that the room was full of cold.
"No matter how good your health is, you don't have to deliberately get cold, right?" Lin Yuxiao even guessed whether he would simply jump off the river from the window without thinking about it.
"No one cares anyway." Yue Linfeng's tone was depressed.
Originally, Lin Yuxiao came to persuade him, but this one mouth really made people unable to follow him, "What do you mean that no one cares?" Am I not human? Isn't your master human? Isn't the Queen Mother a human being? ”
"......" He offended people again, Yue Linfeng sighed, "Yuxiao, if you don't have me, you will live a good life like the master and the emperor and the queen mother......"
"But you don't want to live without that Miss Liu?" Lin Yuxiao sneered.
Yue Linfeng admitted: "When I first saw Mengzhou City, I found that I was attracted to her, and then I decided that she was my most important person, without her, I really don't know what fun life is." ”
"So what? You don't want to live? You don't think about whether it will be sad for the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, Yuxiao and you have been brothers and sisters all these years, without you, he will really live like no one else? The Queen Mother is no worse than her own children, and the Emperor has high hopes for you! ”
It was Fang Xiaozhu who pushed the door and questioned Yue Linfeng, he had come with him because he was not at ease, but when he heard such a heartbroken statement, he was really angry: "Yue Linfeng, just for a woman, you don't want loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness!?" You...... You're not even as good as the old lady of the Han family! ”
"Xiaozhu, you don't like anyone, if you had, you wouldn't say that." Yue Linfeng was not angry, and said slowly.
"I don't like anyone. Seeing you like this, I'd rather not like people for the rest of my life! Seeing him think of Mu Qingyin like this, Fang Xiaozhu is really creepy about love.
"That's fine," Yue Linfeng actually said. Then he also said, "I won't seek death, if I die, you will definitely be angry with Miss Liu, I can't hurt others." He now finally understands why Mu Qingyin has no love, like a walking corpse, and still lives strongly. Originally......
Even if the other party loses you and hurts you, it is still the most important thing in your heart, and you are reluctant to let it be hurt at all, this is true love.
Fang Xiaozhu was already so angry that he didn't want to talk to Yue Linfeng anymore, he only glared at Lin Yuxiao, if Yue Linfeng said that Lin Yuxiao still supported him, he would have more than one friend today.
Lin Yuxiao didn't say anything, he pulled Fang Xiaozhu and went out, he walked in front Fang Xiaozhu couldn't see whether he was happy or angry, and he couldn't feel it with his strength. Because Lin Yuxiao will not be angry with others when he is angry.
They still walked to the kitchen where Xiao Tang was, but when they arrived at the kitchen door, Lin Yuxiao didn't go in, only let go of Fang Xiaozhu's wrist that was holding, and walked forward to the small kitchen where Liu Yiyi was, and didn't go in, just said to the busy girl inside at the door: "Miss Liu, Xiaozhu is also here, how about you help Xiao Tang cook two more dishes for him?" ”
Liu Yiyi was stunned, she couldn't imagine that he came for this, and she thought that if he came, he would be the one who asked the teacher to ask for guilt. It just turned out to be for her to cook?
"I don't know what Fang Gongzi likes to eat?" Liu Yiyi asked cautiously, afraid that people would set her up.
"Xiaozhu has never been a picky eater, Miss Liu can do whatever she wants, and Miss Liu doesn't have to worry about the wind. Although Lin is not a good person, he will not deliberately make an innocent person, at least he will not deliberately say that what is delicious is not delicious. Seeing her worries, Lin Yuxiao said calmly.
Liu Yiyi was even more embarrassed: "I don't have much ...... heart"
Insincerely, Lin Yuxiao simply said something more: "Miss Liu, I also admit that life in the palace is not easy. I let you enter the palace before, firstly, because only the Queen Mother can justify your name; The second is that having Senior Brother Yue to protect you can keep you safe, but now you are refusing a big backer, which is tantamount to putting yourself in danger. ”
"I know, first of all, I still have to thank Lord Lin for guaranteeing the Queen Mother for me, and I will be cautious in my words and deeds after entering the palace so as not to embarrass Lord Lin. As for Lord Yue, don't you think it's even more unfair to him to use him as a backer if you don't like him? ”
Even if she rejected Yue Linfeng, Liu Yiyi didn't expect to be able not to enter the palace, she dropped out of school halfway in her last life, and the eyes of her neighbors made her unbearable, but the queen mother of the previous life announced that she returned halfway, she and the Liu family could still have a way to live? Spit can drown people!
"Before entering the palace, I will ask the senior grandmother in the palace to teach you, as long as you can make her agree, do things silently after entering the palace, and do not watch the excitement and do not talk about others, the freshness of the people in the harem will disappear in March and May, but you have little chance of coming out again." Lin Yuxiao can explain what he thinks, and he has already explained.
"Thank you, Lord Lin, for reminding me." Liu Yiyi can't count these smart people with high IQ in her brain, if people calculate her behind her back, she will definitely suffer, but the ability to observe words and emotions in person is her rare strength, whether others are laughing at her or lying to her, or really for her, she has never missed it nine times out of ten.
Lin Yuxiao is telling the truth, although he is not completely on her side for her sake, but it is already a rare open-mindedness to be able to tell her this after she rejected his senior brother.
"Miss Liu doesn't need to thank me, in fact, if I had known that you would reject my Senior Brother Yue, I wouldn't have to ask the Queen Mother to summon you into the palace, women's youth is short, let you stay up until you are twenty-five years old like other women before leaving the palace, I'm afraid that Ling Zun will be sad and white." Lin Yuxiao said softly.
This time Liu Yiyi didn't squeak, Master Liu was indeed her soft threat, and when she thought that Master Liu had lost dozens of pounds in a few days because of her trouble, she felt that she was really guilty! But what if she nodded and agreed to marry Yue Linfeng - she really didn't want to live with this person for the rest of her life?
The point is correct so far, seeing that Liu Yiyi can't be truly ruthless about this time and space, Lin Yuxiao smiled and went back to the kitchen where Xiao Tang was, and there were already several plates of steaming dishes waiting for him on the table.
……
Probably learned that the future head of the Yanguan family, Fang Xiaozhu, the former champion, was here, and Father-in-law Yan, who had not shown up for a long time, finally showed up at the reception banquet in the evening, but Yue Linfeng did not appear.
This reason is well known to everyone present, these are all with identity and connotation, so when Liu Yiyi brought the two dishes she cooked, no one looked at her at anything wrong.
Whether in terms of status or cooking skills, Liu Yiyi is not as good as Xiao Tang's. So she waited aside, self-awarely, and asked Xiao Tang to introduce the dishes he cooked first.
"Rice noodle tamale, three fresh shark fins, red stewed elbows. All I make is a cabbage. Xiao Tang asked his subordinates to put the dishes on the table, and introduced.
"How do you feel like it wasn't made for me?" Fang Xiaozhu smiled intentionally.
"Why not, don't you like chicken fin and shark fin? I wondered, there was no meat to chew. Lin Yuxiao said for Xiao Tang.
"Look, I made one knowing that I love shark fin. Which of the other two meats was made for me! Fang Xiaozhu said in the middle of it.
"Yu Xiao is in a bad mood, it's better for you to let him eat these meat dishes than to let him eat people." Xiao Tang said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and there were many listeners who had hearts, the hand of the lotus osmanthus holding the plate did not tremble, but the heart trembled, is this true or false?
Father-in-law Yan smiled: "Who doesn't have long eyes dares to make Young Master Lin unhappy, doesn't that mean that the Queen Mother is worried?" Who is she? Would it be good to let the old slave teach Young Master Lin a lesson for her? ”
"It's my brother." Lin Yuxiao replied seriously.
Father-in-law Yan was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled again, and his tone changed to a consolation: "Young Master Yue and Young Master Lin grew up together, how could he make you angry." It's not that the young master who doesn't have long eyes is unhappy......"
"What Father-in-law Yan said is interesting? Is it right for the surnamed Yue to be angry with others but angry with Yu Xiao? Whoever makes him angry, find whoever he is, what kind of husband is angry at us innocents, Gonggong Yan didn't go to find the theory surnamed Yue, but persuaded Yu Xiao to endure it, you are not making up for the knife by reversing right and wrong like this, right? Xiao Tang seemed to be smiling, he just happened to check what was going on with Changxi.
"Boss Tang, don't scare the slaves, how can the old slave be indifferent to see Young Master Lin being wronged? It's just that there is a debtor and a master, and it shouldn't hurt the brotherhood of Young Master Lin and Young Master Yue because of an irrelevant person, do you think this is the reason? "Father-in-law Yan also watched Xiao Tang grow up, and knew that he was particularly eccentric towards Lin Yuxiao. Of course, the Queen Mother also attaches great importance to Xiao Tang because of this, and she can't be offended.
"Okay, didn't you give Xiaozhu the wind today? Why did it happen to me again? Miss Liu, what are the dishes you make, don't stand stupidly with a plate in your hand. "Don't these people know that the so-called food does not wait for people? Anyway, Lin Yuxiao didn't want to eat cold.
The insinuation in Yan Gonggong's words refers to who everyone understands. Liu Yiyi stood quietly and listened silently, but she couldn't hurt her with her mouth, every time she got together with relatives and friends to fight for her children from childhood to adulthood, her parents' words to train her in public were more straightforward and ugly, really have to take it all to heart, can she live to cross?
Heard Lin Yuxiao call her name. Liu Yiyi stepped forward with lotus osmanthus flowers: "The dishes I make are chicken and corn soup and cinnabar tofu." "Before, it was Lin Yuxiao who said that she should make two dishes, and she didn't make two dishes more, no less.
Chicken and corn soup is an ordinary dish, but cinnabar tofu is something that no one has ever seen, especially the tofu looks really red, and there is something rustling in it.
Knowing that Gonggong Yan didn't like this foundationless Liu female official, plus Yue Linfeng had commanded these little eunuchs to turn around before, there was more than one person who was dissatisfied with Liu Yiyi, and today Changxi was not naturally someone else spoke: "How can you use cinnabar to make tofu?!" Don't be poisoned, right? ”
Before Liu Yiyi could explain, Xiao Tang sneered first: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, some dishes are still called Jinyu Mantang, is it really fried with real gold and white jade?" ”
"Cinnabar calms the heart, repels evil spirits and cleans the liver, brightens the eyes and dispels wind, quenches thirst and detoxifies. If used correctly, it's not something that hurts people. Fang Xiaozhu said pertinently.
Xiao Tang will help her speak, which is expected by Liu Yiyi, because she specially asked Xiao Tang for advice before cooking, and Xiao Tang agreed to make chicken corn soup and cinnabar tofu and asked about the method, so as long as Xiao Tang didn't mean to harm her, of course she wouldn't backtrack.
It was Fang Xiaozhu who surprised her, this Fang Zhuangyuan didn't have a good impression of "Liu Yiyi" when she first returned to the bookstall, and then she was also faint, and she openly disliked Yue Linfeng's heavy color and light friend countless times, but today she rejected Yue Linfeng, why did this person speak for her?
"Don't guess, Miss Liu will introduce you to the cinnabar tofu you made." Lin Yuxiao is only worried that the food will not taste good if it is cold.
"Yes," Liu Yiyi said after he had to instruct, "Cinnabar tofu is not cinnabar, but the yellow of red salted duck eggs, make salted duck egg yolks, chicken breasts, and tofu into fine purees, adjust the chicken soup to taste, remove the residue with a basket, and fry it with duck fat." ”
"Miss Liu cooks for us, you go and accompany the Mu family's sister." Knowing how this dish was made, Lin Yuxiao sent people away.
Liu Yiyi was blessed, and took the lotus osmanthus to find Mu Qingyin behind the curtain.
"Thank you Miss Liu." As soon as Mu Qingyin saw Liu Yiyi, she got up and said politely, Miss, the maid behind her naturally wouldn't give Liu Yiyi a look.
"I've always loved cooking, so I can't talk about hard work." Liu Yiyi said sincerely.
"I used to learn cooking for a while, that's because Yu Xiao likes it, but I can't take it as a hobby like you, in fact, it's a good thing if I can forget all my worries when I cook." Mu Qingyin sighed faintly as he spoke, so the atmosphere cooled down again.
Father-in-law Yan outside the curtain glanced at the curtain a few times generously, and he couldn't see anything when the bead curtain flickered, but that's what he wanted, and then turned his head to sit down, and said: "This Miss Liu is not simple, not only Young Master Yue looks at her differently, but even Miss Mu has a good impression of her." ”
"Xiao Tang and I also look at her differently," Lin Yuxiao said generously, "Her cooking skills are really good." ”
Xiao Tang nodded and agreed: "The important thing is that she is simple-minded, and she only pounces on the kitchen." ”
Yan Gong was almost frightened by Lin Yuxiao's "look at each other"! It is surprising enough for a Yue Linfeng to be fascinated by this woman surnamed Liu, if Lin Yuxiao also becomes wrong, the Queen Mother will not worry about her white head!
"What's wrong with my father-in-law? Don't try such a good dish, is it picky about Xiao Tang's cooking skills? Let's eat Miss Liu's cooking. Lin Yuxiao personally served a spoonful of cinnabar tofu to Father-in-law Yan.
"Don't rely on me, okay? What do you don't know about your father-in-law? Xiao Tang also glanced at the bead curtain with some meaning.
"When people are old, it is inevitable to think crankily, but the old slave went out of Beijing at the order of the Queen Mother this time, if he brought him back casually, he really couldn't explain it." Now that there are no outsiders at the table, Father-in-law Yan has something to say.
It's really old...... Lin Yuxiao slowly finished eating all the plates of cinnabar tofu before saying: "Father-in-law Yan is really serious, I sent a letter thousands of miles to ask the Queen Mother to summon Miss Liu into the palace as a female official, is it just to make a misfortune to enter the palace as a scourge?" (To be continued.) )
