"It's rare for you to be filial, but I've never heard that you are still in the kitchen, when did you learn this craft?" Old Madam Bai carefully looked at the turquoise lotus leaf bowl with a few delicate and clear meatballs, which were also new and beautiful, but she was more interested in her granddaughter's cooking skills at the moment.

"When my granddaughter was in Fengze County, she cooked with my stepmother a few times, although she didn't have to do it herself, but she remembered everything. It's just that this dish is very delicious, and it is suitable for all ages, but the stepmother doesn't make it often. In order to take care of her mother's mood, Xi Ente changed her mouth and called Mrs. Chen "stepmother". She was so thoughtful that even the old lady Bai on the seat nodded secretly in her heart.

"Oh, what's the way to say it's good for all ages?" As he spoke, he had already taken one of the pearls, and carefully sent it to the old lady Bai with a saucer.

"Grandmother can taste it, this meatball is oily but not greasy, and very soft and glutinous, very suitable for the elderly and children." Xi'en watched her grandmother taste it little by little, and then ate a meat ball.

The old lady nodded, as if she was still unsatisfied, "Sure enough, it's very close, but this thing doesn't look unusual, and just now I said that your stepmother doesn't do it often, what is the reason?" ”

It was rare that the old lady came to the excitement and was happy to eat, and the pearl was busy with another one and sent it over. Old Madam Bai listened to Xi'en explain the reason while eating. The rest of the people also turned their eyes around, and when they looked closely, they were really white and bright, and it was not unusual to look closely, how could they be favored by the old lady like this?

Xi En smiled brightly, "If you talk about it." In fact, it doesn't matter much, it's just that there are a lot of materials needed, and it takes a lot of effort, and ordinary people only have to eat it during the New Year. The so-called process is to only stew the fat and thin pork in a pot, and then chop it on a cutting board for later use. Take all kinds of mushrooms, adult hens, wolfberries, and red dates and stew them in a pot of broth, which is also for backup. The flour was stirred into a paste, and the pan was baked with cakes, chopped and mixed with the minced meat. Only white onions and garlic are used, and green leaves are not used. And the ginger is chopped into powder like a seasoning and stirred. At this time, mix a little stock with minced meat. Then the hands are formed into balls and put into the fine potato flour and rolled for a while. When it's done, the broth is boiling hot, and I put the balls in it and take out the soup. When you want to eat, it is steamed in a steamer. And there you go. ”

When the crowd heard. I couldn't help but sigh. "It's hard for her to think so thoughtfully, but she is extremely filial."

The white mother unconsciously ate two or three more. Lian praised again and again, "This thing is good, fragrant, and I feel restrained when I eat it, so let the kitchen learn to make some of it." ”

"This is still for your old man to remember, the slave maid sent the steward early in the record is clear, let them follow the recipe, the ancestor just waits to add delicious food to the dinner table in the future." Pearl saw that the white mother had almost eaten, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to serve and wipe her mouth and clean her hands.

"I've eaten the stuff too, but what should I give to the graceful girl, are you thinking about it for me?" The white mother looked at the grace and talked unhurriedly, not panicked, standing in front of the flowers and water, and capable and open-minded when acting, consciously having a little bit of her demeanor back then, and she liked it more and more in her heart.

"Otherwise, I will also reward ten taels of silver with the two Young Master Sun just now?" Pearl weighed. To be able to get the same reward as the men in the house is to get the lottery.

"What do the girls want to do with those pieces of silver, isn't the daily expenses of our Bai family enough, even if they are just filling in the bottom of the box, they are mixed up. If I want to say, just bring the gold collar in my cabinet and give it to the grace girl. ”

When Pearl heard this, she realized in her heart, and unconsciously turned around to look at Xi'en, with a slightly congratulatory look in her eyes.

Xi En was appreciative, and he was busy with a slight salute, "There is Sister Lao Pearl." ”

At one moment, the collar was fetched, and a beautifully carved ebony box was placed in the lacquer tray, and when the box was opened, a piece of yellow silk wrapped in a gold collar. Under the light, I only feel the golden light, and you can see the carving on it closer, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite. Things that haven't been taken out for many years still have such a color, but it can be seen that it is a treasure.

"Tsk, the old lady loves her granddaughter."

"I've never seen such a good thing, what else is hidden in the ancestor's box, and he has to open our eyes another day."

Three or five old mothers-in-law and aunts followed suit, and only the eldest aunt Yanhong and the second aunt Liu'er looked straight at each other. Liu Er was uneven first, and gave birth to a son to the Bai family, maybe the son will be a champion tomorrow, why doesn't he have this color? She was unhappy in her heart, so she naturally made her temperament. Bai Qian sat next to him, just sitting upright, ignoring her.

"Speaking of which, this is still passed down by my grandmother, and her old man passed it on to my mother, and when I got married, your grandmother personally took it off my neck and put it on me, how many years old things, you have to keep it alive." When Bai Mu talked about the past, she couldn't help but be moved, put the collar on the Xi'en item with her own hands, admired it carefully for a moment, and pushed her up, "Show your old son and mother." ”

Xi'en only felt that a dazzling light shot towards him, some were envious, some were jealous, some forgot to close their mouths open, and some leaned forward and stretched their necks to look, it was really a variety of situations in the world. She peeked at Wu Min, who claimed to be her grandmother and niece, and saw that she pursed her lips and smiled at herself.

"Get up, grandmother loves you, you have to know gratitude." Bai Qian said lightly, and then turned to the second aunt Liu Er who was sitting on the side, "This wine is light to drink, but the stamina is quite good, don't be too greedy." The tone was extremely gentle.

Liu Er had already drunk three or four cups at this time, and after listening to the old man's persuasion, she didn't speak, but only looked at Xi'en who was standing in front of the table obliquely.

"Don't always stand, come to my mother's side." Gu Shi eased up a little and beckoned his daughter to come over.

Xi'en breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and turned around and went to her mother's side.

I saw that Gu Shi stretched out his hand and pulled his daughter closer to him, after some days of recuperation, her face was not as pale as before, and her cheeks were slightly plump. At this time, he bowed slightly and leaned close to his daughter, and said softly, "The old lady has to remember this reward tonight, and you must not regenerate right and wrong and block her old man's house." ”

Xi'en looked at her mother suddenly, but she couldn't guess why. Tonight's events were like a fog over her, and she suddenly wanted to get out of here.

As if he had guessed his daughter's thoughts, Gu smiled at Xi En, and at this time, a large number of fireworks suddenly set off in the garden, and the huge dark night was as bright as day. The mother and daughter had nothing to say, and looked at the ever-changing sky together. (To be continued.) )
