Chapter 61: Jade White Jade
Actually, there is nothing strange about Du Yichun even if he is a golden house, the eldest son of the dignified household department and the grandson of Generalissimo Du, shouldn't there be a confidant. But why do I have a very uncomfortable feeling when I see Du Yichun's panicked expression? Hearing Zheng Yu's unconvincing proof, I will have an urge to get angry?
Is it because he deceived people and deceived people obviously? Or is it because Zheng Yu has no position to help? I tried hard to suppress my temper and secretly persuaded myself: "Didn't you also fight to death and not admit your past with Jiang Yunlin?" As for Zheng Yu, he has not flattered his boss for a day or two, is it necessary to meet him in general?
So, I tried to make a very normal smile, and said nonchalantly: "No, no, no, just don't suddenly come to a woman one day and say that this is her place, and then drive me away." Right, Brother Jiu?"
Du Yichun noticed that I had been looking at him, and sneered, "How come?"
I didn't want to irritate him anymore, so I nodded and said, "Okay, you're tired too, go back, I'm going to have a good rest." After saying that, I wanted to go to the garden, but I was grabbed by Zheng Yu and said, "The general will go back to the house first, and I will protect Miss Ding here." Miss Ding rest assured, I have already asked someone to clean up the room in advance. ”
Saying that, I looked at the sky that was almost dark, and then looked at Zheng Yu's stubborn expression and Du Yichun's helpless face, sighed and said, "Even if you want to protect, you don't have to stand at the door." Come in with me. ”
Zheng Yu's eyes lit up and said, "Is it okay?" Can I come in? That's great! To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll be able to protect you by standing outside the door. That's right, then I'll protect you outside your room, if there's something, you can call out, and I'll come in right away......" Zheng Yu turned on his "chatter" mode.
Du Yichun smiled bitterly, bowed his hand to me, and left.
I looked at his back and was slightly stunned, as if there was a trace of reluctance, probably because they had been together all this time, and he suddenly turned around and left, I was still a little unaccustomed to it.
I walked towards the garden, and when I walked, it was all plums, which was very much to my liking, but when I thought that these might have been for someone else, especially if this person was probably a woman, my strange feeling came out again.
Zheng Yu saw that I didn't speak along the way, and my expression was solemn, so he tried his best to enliven the atmosphere and actively introduced me to all parts of the garden.
"To be honest, the house is nice, especially the layout. There is a large front garden, which is the garden we passed by just now, and it has been planted with plums according to the general's orders. ”
Having said that, we entered the second gate, and there was a small garden inside, mainly a small pond, with a rockery in the middle, and flower beds on both sides of the pond. It's just that because of the cold weather, there are no plants in the pond, no fish or anything like that, and I don't know what flowers are planted in the flower garden, only branches and leaves, which feels a little bleak. There is an arch on the left and right sides of the small garden.
I don't know where to go, Zheng Yu smiled: "The left is the west chamber, the right is the east chamber, Miss Ding lives in the east chamber, I wrote to them before to buy some things for girls, you see if it is suitable for use." ”
As he was talking, a very kind-looking aunt walked out of the east chamber. Zheng Yu called her "Mama Wu" and introduced me that she was in charge of the food here.
Mother Wu smiled: "We are talking, Miss will arrive." Dinner was ready, and it was in the main room of the East Wing. The second room on the right is a bedroom prepared for the young lady, and the stove has been lit first, and the young lady can rest after eating. ”
Zheng Yu nodded and asked her to rest first, and then explained: "There are a total of four people guarding this house, and that Mother Wu is in charge of the kitchen just now, and Uncle Ye is the chief manager, but he has gone out in the past two days to buy some new furniture and pick a few suitable little girls." There is also a florist surnamed Li, but he usually doesn't live here, and the other is Aunt Liu, who does housework. ”
I don't understand how this shouting came about, why one is called Wu Ma and the other is called Aunt Liu? But think about it anyway, as Du Yichun said, the name is just a code name. So I nodded kindly, ready to go to dinner and rest. After taking two steps, he looked back at Zheng Yu but didn't follow, and said a little strangely: "Let's go, let's eat together, you're tired all day." ”
Zheng Yu followed me to the East Chamber with a smile.
I casually asked, "Have the four of them been here all along?"
Zheng Yu nodded and said, "Yes, since the general ordered me to prepare this place, I found the four of them." ”
Walking into the main house in the east wing, there was a table of food in the house. Although it is located in a border city, it is still the taste and practice of making the capital. I secretly speculated: If it is really as Zheng Yu said, this house is prepared for a certain "old person", then this old person should be from the capital.
The smell of the rice drilled into my nose, and I didn't bother to delve into anything, so I picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. The dish is the most common home-cooked dish, there are no very expensive dishes and raw materials, the meat dish is only a shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and the others are some dishes such as fried vegetables and boiled vegetables.
When I took the first bite, I couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really delicious, even the vegetables can be fried so delicious!" After that, I couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
Zheng Yu saw that I didn't appreciate it, so he also tasted it, nodded and said, "It's really good, it's not in vain that I put so much effort into finding her." You don't know that in order to find a cook who meets the general's appetite and can cook Beijing cuisine, I didn't find many people to come, so the general chose this Wu Ma. Zheng Yu started again.
I don't care about smiling.
"Do you know which dish the general likes best?" Zheng Yu's mode has been adjusted to the "chatter" mode again......
"What is it?" I asked casually.
"I heard that it is a famous dish in your capital, what is it called 'Jade White Jade', the name is quite good, in fact, it is fried tofu with green vegetables. However, this dish made by Wu's mother is indeed delicious. ”
I laughed, "It's not that simple. Although it is only green vegetables and tofu, the best hen stew is used first, and the soup is accompanied by the best mountain ginseng. After boiling for a day, use only the soup to cook the vegetables and set aside. Then cut the tofu into small pieces, then cook the abalone in small pieces, add the greens, and finally use the chicken broth to enhance the flavor. Therefore, if this dish is made in strict accordance with the procedure, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and the price of the dish will be expensive. ”
By the way, I think I've heard someone say that there are people who like this dish too. Be...... Du Yuxuan, yes, it's Du Yuxuan. It seems that I heard the third brother say that Du Yuxuan not only likes to eat this dish, but also makes this dish very delicious. I couldn't help but chuckle: "No wonder it's brother and sister, the tastes are so similar." ”
