Chapter 70: The Winter Melon Cup (I)
"You deserve to be a senior brother like this? What about the eldest lady of the Mu family? Does she know where Yu Xiao went? Seeing that Yue Linfeng lost his soul when he heard that Liu Yiyi and Du Shaonan were engaged, Xiao Tang was even more dissatisfied.
Xiao Tang's questioning used internal force, as long as Mu Qingyin was within a radius of one mile, he would hear it clearly, this was an an, and it was inconvenient for a few of them to go in and find someone.
Xiao Tang's etiquette will be done well, Du Shaonan never has to worry about him, waiting here for Mu Qingyin has to find something to pass the time, so he moved his eyes to Liu Yiyi, who was eager to dissolve with the bamboo forest, the food box in his hand, "Miss Liu is here to worship the Buddha?" ”
Liu Yiyi kept her head down, although Du Shaonan was always pleasant, but she glanced at it and found that Xiao Tang and Fang Xiaozhu looked at her with disdain, it was estimated that it was a misunderstanding, and it happened that Du Shaonan's question gave her the opportunity to explain: "I came to see my master, my master is the water moon master of Lingzhu Nunnery." ”
Mizugetsu is her master? It should be the original heroine, right? This is not written in the novel, when he was bored in his previous life, he still felt that 150,000 words was a lot, and now he has crossed into the characters in the book, and 150,000 words is simply an introduction! Many hidden plots are not explained at all.
Because he didn't know that Lingzhu Nunnery was also related to the plot, Du Shaonan didn't pay attention to this place for two years when he came to Mengzhou City, today he originally went to his newly opened restaurant to see the turnover, but he was pulled to Lingzhu Nunnery by Xiao Tang and Fang Xiaozhu, and coincidentally bumped into Liu Yiyi and Yue Linfeng.
For Du Shaonan, a private conversation between a man and a woman is not a big deal, as long as he doesn't hug him, it can be regarded as a normal friendship. You don't have to be as unbearable as if you were greenhatted.
"Bringing food to Master?" A series that doesn't mention a word about the water moon master should not be an important person, so Du Shaonan's attention is still on the food box in Liu Yiyi's hand.
His interest in her food box was so obvious that Liu Yifu hurriedly opened the food box: "My master is a monk. So I didn't dare to make meat, but I used to make some winter melon cups, and my father asked me to get some tea for Master to eat, so Master Du might as well help try it to see if it would be too sweet? ”
The child can be taught, Du Shaonan is satisfied with her interest and ability to speak, and has to be polite in front of others: "This is for your master." I didn't eat much, right? ”
Liu Yiyi was really interested, and he could hear that he was just polite, not really refusing. "It's okay, this one is sweeter, my master can't eat a bowl at a time, she likes me to bring her more next time." In addition, it is inconvenient to entertain male guests in the hermitage. I can only send a few pieces of candy to the master in the bamboo forest, and Young Master Du should not think that Lingzhu'an is not considerate. ”
Liu Yiyi said and put the food box on the ground, took out a small clay bowl from the open box and handed it to Du Shaonan: "Winter melon cup is also called winter melon cake, because it is usually sealed in a clay bowl, I am afraid of damage, and when I eat it, I can take out some of it, which can be eaten with tea as candied fruit, or it can be made into cake filling." ”
Du Shaonan opened the small tile bowl with a twist. Smell a fragrance and a little sesame oil fragrance, and he can't analyze other fragrances for a while. Pour out a few pieces of about two inches of strips, slightly transparent and condensed with a thin layer of frosting.
This is similar to a candy cube, no matter how foodie Du Shaonan is, he can't eat a bowl of candy at once, it's too sweet! He's not Lin Yuxiao!
"The winter melon cup made by Miss Liu herself, everyone has a taste." Du Shaonan was generous to others, and generously gave Xiao Tang a few pieces to Fang Xiaozhu.
Xiao Tang said from Du Shaonan and Liu Yiyi that the attention of the winter melon cup turned to this side, and when he got the winter melon strips, he looked at it and smelled it and then put it in his mouth, tasted and swallowed it and said: "This winter melon strip method is different from what I do, mine is a whole piece of winter melon cut into small strips, mixed with sugar and various spices, this is not a whole piece, and there are not many ingredients, except for sugar, only osmanthus and sesame oil." ”
Xiao Tang said to Du Shaonan, so when he finished speaking, Du Shaonan asked Liu Yiyi for him: "Is it?" Miss Liu does something different from Xiao Tang, right? ”
"That's not wrong at all, what I do is not the whole winter melon honey system, it is to cut the winter melon into shreds and stew it into a puree, add sugar and sesame oil to boil and stir-fry, and then add osmanthus in the middle, concentrate it into thick mud to cool and set, hide it in a sealed tile bowl, and I am going to send it to the master today, I took it out and cut it into strips." Liu Yiyi replied carefully, the other party was an ancient chef, and I hope she wouldn't laugh at her for getting an axe.
Xiao Tang has always been realistic in cooking, and nodded at Du Shaonan after listening: "Winter melon puree is more delicate than winter melon strips, and the taste has its own merits, you are quite blessed." ”
"It's not too sweet, it's a good snack." Fang Xiaozhu also tasted it, and then when the professional finished speaking, he should also speak politely.
"That is," Du Shaonan triumphantly, "I grew up, and I didn't dare to boast about other blessings, and mouth blessings are absolutely indispensable."
Yue Linfeng stood aside, the excitement of the scene had nothing to do with him, he looked at Du Shaonan in high spirits, looked at Fang Xiaozhu and Xiao Tang, who were also his friends, smiled and blessed Du Shaonan, and watched Liu Yiyi please Du Shaonan...... He could only watch, and people had already come to the door to propose.
Why was Du Shaonan one step ahead? Yue Linfeng's heart was complicated, and he always felt that it was clear that everything that was beautiful should belong to him......
"The nunnery is a place where Buddhism is cultivated, who is making noise here?" Mu Qingyin, who was dressed in white like an immortal, walked over from another part of the bamboo forest, interrupting the excitement and Yue Linfeng's thoughts.
"What kind of noise, I didn't go in, can you hear you when I call you outside?" Xiao Tang said dissatisfied.
"Did you call me something?" Mu Qingyin asked good-naturedly, she also knew what kind of character Xiao Tang was, and she didn't care about him.
"I asked you, did Yu Xiao come to you?" Xiao Tang didn't come to quarrel with Mu Qingyin, he didn't have that spare time.
"I didn't ...... Yu Xiao hadn't come to see me for three days, and since the day before yesterday, he hasn't asked anyone to ask if I'm okay. Mu Qingyin was a little uneasy, Yu Xiao had been seeing her once a day rain or shine since she came to Mengzhou, even if she had something to do out of the city, she would send someone to confirm whether she was safe and sound, and suddenly disappeared, but there had never been a situation.
Listening to Mu Qingyin's rare words, Du Shaonan couldn't help but look at Mu Qingyin, but Mu Qingyin was always worried. I can't see any difference, I can only guess in my heart, is she really worried about Lin Yuxiao or is she not used to being spoiled by no one?
Yue Linfeng was surprised: "You mean that Yu Xiao returned to the city three days ago?!" He has never seen his junior brother since he asked Yu Xiao for help. However, Lin Yuxiao later sent someone to send him a letter to report his safety, he thought that Yuxiao was not angry, but now he realized that he had returned to the city but had not seen him.
"You don't know that Yu Xiao has returned to the city?" Mu Qingyin looked at Xiao Tang, it was Xiao Tang who came to deliver the letter four days ago, and then Yu Xiao came over the next day to say hello and left in a hurry, and then calculated that it was two days and eight hours before Lin Yuxiao arrived.
"Yu Xiao is letting me know everything, but except for you. I didn't even inform anyone else, and I was not happy to say. Don Jr. admitted frankly.
"He was angry that we didn't stop Yu Xiao and let Yu Xiao go out alone to get into danger." Fang Xiaozhu explained in detail on the side. "It wasn't until three days ago that Yu Xiao appeared in front of Shaonan's restaurant that Shaonan knew that Xiao Tang had concealed it, and then told me." But he still didn't tell Yue Linfeng.
Du Shaonan was also calm: "At first, I heard that I was concealed by Xiao Tang, which made me worry in vain these days. I must have gotten angry and turned around and went to find Don Jr. Theory. As a result, Xiao Tang was justified in blaming us for being useless, and I thought about it carefully, and I was really embarrassed to lose my temper at him. ”
Du Shaonan's words were said to Yue Linfeng, and Yue Linfeng could also hear it, he didn't have the heart to pursue Xiao Tang at the moment, so he only asked in a deep voice: "Since Yu Xiao is back, it means that the case he handled has been recognized, so where can he go now?" ”
It's about Lin Yuxiao. Xiao Tang didn't deliberately ignore Yue Linfeng: "The rain flute that Shao Nan saw at noon the day before yesterday, the rain flute was the mansion that went with Lu Tingqi. The day before yesterday afternoon, around Shen Shi, Lu Tingqi left because of other cases, and Yu Xiao stayed in the yamen to read the files, and no one knew when he left, and no one saw him after that. ”
"Lu Tingqi? Could it be related to him? Yue Linfeng pondered, and his words made Du Shaonan and Liu Yiyi's eyes light up at the same time, could it be that Lu Tingqi's true face was about to be exposed!?
"The surname Lu doesn't have that ability, including plotting." Xiao Tang vetoed it.
"But the last person who saw Yu Xiao was Lu Tingqi," Du Shaonan couldn't watch the clues and just went back, "Didn't you say before that Yu Xiao wouldn't deliberately hide it himself, no one would inform him, although the surname Lu didn't have the ability to harm Yu Xiao, but he was not allowed to take Yu Xiao in order to grab the credit, or Yu Xiao went out of the city again in an accident, and let the surname Lu tell us that he didn't say anything......"
"I'll go find Lu Tingqi." Yue Linfeng said and left first, anyway, he didn't want to stay here anymore.
"I'll also ask Lu Tingqi again." Listening to Du Shaonan's speculation, Xiao Tang also went out.
"I'll go too." Fang Xiaozhu caught up with Xiao Tang.
All of a sudden, only Du Shaonan, Liu Yiyi and Mu Qingyin were left in the bamboo forest, and Du Shaonan asked Liu Yiyi: "Miss Liu, are you going to see your master or go home?" I'll send you home if you go home. ”
"I'm going to see Master, and the Liu family's maid and sedan chair man are also waiting outside." Liu Yiyi said that he didn't need to send it.
Of course, Du Shaonan didn't force it: "Since that's the case, I'll go back too." He handed the small clay bowl with the winter melon cup in his hand back to Liu Yiyi, and the three of them ate a few small pieces, and the small clay bowl was still quite full to give away.
Liu Yiyi took it and didn't forget to tell worriedly: "Young Master Du, if you see Lu Tingqi, you must stay away from him, I also think that this person is not a good person, so I must prevent him from committing a black hand." ”
She didn't expect Lu Tingqi to assassinate him, and she would be relieved? Du Shaonan smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let Lu Tingqi get close to me within six feet, because I also hate this person." ”
Du Shaonan left without saying hello to Mu Qingyin, in fact, Yue Linfeng, Xiao Tang, and Fang Xiaozhu also left without saying hello, and the rest of Liu Yiyi was still a little embarrassed, but Mu Qingyin ignored her, ignored anyone, and stood stunned for a while before returning to the bamboo forest.
Well, the fairy doesn't need her as a mortal, Liu Yiyi picked up the food box and went to the master.
……
In front of the elegant meditation room in the depths of the bamboo forest, Mrs. Shuiyue waited on the steps as Liu Yiyi did when she first saw her, and her eyebrows and eyes were quiet, which made Liu Yiyi have an illusion - if she came back after hundreds of years, Mrs. Shuiyue would still look like yesterday, and the years would not change.
In fact, she hadn't been here for a few days.
"Master, I met a few acquaintances outside, so I brought the winter melon cup I brought you to entertain them, I'm sorry." Regardless of whether Mrs. Shuiyue found out that Xiao Wa Bowl had been passive, Liu Yiyi first confessed and apologized.
Mrs. Shuiyue was not displeased: "Those who come to Lingzhu Nunnery are guests, and you bring snacks for the master to give them, which is not to lose the courtesy of hospitality, what is there to apologize." ”
"Isn't that a lot?" Master Shuiyue opened the small tile bowl and took a piece to taste, then nodded, "It's very sweet, there are often donors who think that my tea here is bitter, and they won't pick it anymore if they have this tea pairing." ”
"If Master likes it, I'll go back and make it and send it back, not only will I have a winter melon cup, but I will also make other candied fruits." Liu Yiyi and Mrs. Shuiyue have always been uneasy when they get along, and they see that Mrs. Shuiyue has an excellent attitude towards her, which belongs to the kind of familiar and informal, which shows that Mrs. Shuiyue has a good relationship with "Liu Yiyi" master and apprentice.
The relationship is good, why doesn't she think the apprentice behaves strangely? For example, she doesn't know martial arts, and "Liu Yiyi" doesn't know how to cook?
Did you really not see it, or did you pretend not to know because of other intentions?
"Yiyi met the young master of Du Guogong's family in the bamboo forest, he brought his friends to find Miss Mu, can the master recognize them?" Liu Yiyi asked tentatively.
"They are all relatives of the emperor and the country, and people outside our country do not have deep friendships with them." The water moon master is too high.
"I heard that Miss Mu wanted to ask the master to give a lecture, but the master politely refused." Liu Yiyi remembered what Yue Linfeng said, the emperor's relatives disdain, and he favored the daughter of a businessman as an apprentice, and "Liu Yiyi" was too lively and could practice good martial arts, and Master Shuiyue spent too much effort on him.
"That Miss Mu seems to be in seclusion, but she has always been in the red dust, her troubles cannot be resolved by the scriptures, but since she has asked for you, she can see her as a teacher." The Water Moon Master said lightly.
Mu Qingyin has lovesickness, it is indeed not curable by preaching, Liu Yiyi admires Master Shuiyue too accurately: "She didn't ask me, in fact, Miss Mu has an indifferent temperament and doesn't talk to me much, I just happened to hear about it, in fact, today my father asked me to tell the master, the young master of Du Guogong's family went to the Liu family to propose, and the father asked the master if this thing can be done?" ”
Master Shuiyue laughed when she heard this: "You child, this matter mainly depends on your dissatisfaction, you are willing, and Master and your father can happily see you get married." She was also curious about where this child grew up before, and when it came to marriage, she was not at all shy and twisted like other women.
Liu Yiyi is in a shy mood, just now Du Shaonan said that Lin Yuxiao is missing, and it is very likely to be related to Lu Tingqi, Lin Yuxiao said well, that is the author's own son, and he is more favored by the author than Yue Linfeng, he is in trouble and there will be no danger, the key is Du Shaonan, no matter how you look at it, it looks like cannon fodder.
