Tong Xue and her sister both live in the Hanmei Pavilion, she is older and lives in the East Chamber, and her sister Tong Shuang lives in the West Chamber.

The two sisters took a break and rested.

On the second day, the two of them first went to the Rising Sun Hall together to greet the Lu family, and then the Lu family took them to Nuan Cang Hall.

Mrs. Tai is happy and quiet, so that her children and grandchildren can stay in the morning and dusk every day, but the Su family has come early every morning to greet Mrs. Tai every morning, and has never stopped, and the Lu family has brought Tong Xue and Tong Shuang over on the first and fifteenth days of each month.

Since today happened to be the first day of the new year, Mrs. Tai got up early and started to make vegetarian food as usual.

When the Lu family took the Tong Xue sisters there, the Su family had obviously been gone for a while.

Not only that, but he also removed the accessories on his hands, cleaned his hands, and made noodles for Mrs. Tai in the small kitchen.

Tong Shuang thought it was funny, so she also cleaned her hands and wanted to help.

Lu was helpless, so he took the two sisters into the small kitchen.

When she was thirteen or fourteen years old, General Weiyuan's wife also asked the cook to teach her cooking skills seriously for a while.

However, General Weiyuan's wife is a master who has never been in the kitchen, and the Lu family is not here.

For pastries, the noodles were either too dry or too thin, so I had to keep adding flour and water, which ruined a lot of things.

The shape of the pinch is even more miserable, the chick can be pinched into a turtle by her hands that are used to holding whips, when cooking, she never grasps the heat well, the salt is either too much or too little, as for the other condiments, Lu can't remember what they are used for.

Therefore, after marrying into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for more than ten years, the Lu family has never cooked once and fried a dish.

On weekdays, on a whim, I want to stew a soup, that is, the girl prepares all the ingredients, puts them in a clay pot and simmers them on the fire, she goes over from time to time to smell the aroma, instructs the maid to add water and firewood, and after the soup is cooked, she personally uses a bowl to serve it and sends it to the study.

Of course, not being good at cooking does not prevent her from being a good wife and mother, there are so many cooks in the house, she can make all kinds of delicacies, why should she do it herself.

Walking into Nuancang Hall today, I was told by Mama Song that Mrs. Dingyuan Hou was making vegetarian pastries, and Lu originally planned to lead her two daughters to the Buddhist hall to copy some scriptures for Mrs. Tai.

is also filial piety, Su chose to give Mrs. Yuanhou to make pastries, she copied the scriptures for Mrs. Tai, why not?

However, after Tong Shuang heard that Mrs. Dingyuan Hou was in the small kitchen, she couldn't wait to walk into the small kitchen, Tong Xue also followed her sister with great interest, and Lu had to walk in with her.

Fortunately, Su Shi has done the dough and divided the flour into dough one by one, and the rest only needs to be filled and kneaded into shape.

Tong Xue and Tong Shuang both walked into the kitchen for the first time, and the two of them learned the appearance of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, hollowed out the middle of the dough, dipped the filling with a small spoon, wrapped it in the dough, pressed and kneaded it on the panel, rolled it into a round ball, and then rolled it in a circle in the sesame seeds.

There was no need to pinch the shape, and Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Mrs. Tai glanced at her with a smile on her lips, as if she knew what she was thinking.

Lu Shi suddenly felt a little blushing, hurriedly lowered his head, and carefully kneaded the dough with the filling, striving to make it look more round.

After making the simplest sesame dumplings.

Mrs. Tai cut the whole piece of white and chubby dough into a boxy shape, and asked Tong Xue's mother and daughter to put peach petals on the pastry to make peach blossom cake.

This peach blossom is a fresh petal that the girl picked up from the grass in the morning morning and picked up from the morning mist on the ground.

Because she wanted to be enshrined in front of the Buddha, Mrs. Tai did not let the girl pick the petals that bloomed on the branches.

All they need to do is arrange the petals in the shape of a flower, and the process is very simple.

The final plum cake is more complicated, first steaming the pink pastry, then using a thin blade to break the pastry in the middle, divide it into four parts, and then carve one by one on each one, and when the carving is completed, a pastry is like a pink lotus, which is not only beautiful but also attractive.

This pastry was made by Xiao Su's volunteer.

After the five finished flowers she carved were arranged, the rest of the pastries were steamed.

Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis, with her two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters, personally served the pastries, enshrined them in front of the Buddha, and knelt on the futon and recited the scriptures, and then ordered the girl to have breakfast.

In addition to pastries, there are vegetarian fried bamboo shoots, pine nuts and shiitake mushrooms and other vegetarian dishes on the table, which are fresh and tender in color and smell fragrant and sweet.

The girl gave each person a bowl of japonica rice porridge that warmed the stomach and simmered slowly over low heat, and everyone picked up chopsticks and began to eat.

Tong Xue picked up a piece of lotus cake, looked at Su Shi with a smile, and exclaimed: "The second aunt is really ingenious, this plum blossom cake is bright in color, and the petals are as thin as cicada wings, like a real lotus, my nephew and daughter are a little unbearable." ”

Su Shi pursed his lips and smiled: "It's just that you should be careful when carving, it's not difficult." ”

Seeing that Tong Xue had a warm attitude, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou did not feel sorry for the Su family because of the incident with Cuizhu last time, and she felt a little comfort in her heart, and she had some emotions that even she couldn't explain.

Tong Xue didn't know what Mrs. Dingyuan Hou was thinking, she opened her mouth, gently bit a lotus cake, ate it slowly, and then smiled and said, "It's really delicious." ”

"I'd like to have a piece too!" Seeing this, Tong Shuang couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and was eager to try.

The girl who was on the side of the cloth was busy picking up a lotus cake and putting it on the plate in front of her.

"This pastry has just come out of the oven, and it is still a little hot, so my sister will wait for it to cool down before eating."

Tong Shuang responded with a smile, obediently lowered his head and continued to drink porridge.

Tong Xue slowly finished eating a whole plum blossom cake.

Everyone at the table was drinking porridge with a relaxed expression.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou pays attention to health, this japonica rice porridge is what she must drink every day, no need to clip any vegetables, first drink a bowl of porridge on an empty stomach to warm the stomach, and then use other pastries.

After everyone finished drinking a bowl of porridge, Tong Xue suddenly frowned, her fingers trembled, and she dropped the chopsticks in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shi was the first to notice her abnormality, put down his chopsticks and asked.

Tong Xue covered her stomach with her hands, opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood from her mouth.

Everyone at the table was taken aback.

"Ah Jin!" Lu's face changed rapidly, he suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to her side, and took her into his arms, "What's wrong with you?" ”

But in a moment's effort, Tong Xue's forehead was already covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

She fell into Lu's arms with a weak face, and said in a choppy voice: "Mother, my son feels dizzy and has colic in her abdomen." ”

"How can you suddenly vomit blood while eating a good pastry?" Mrs. Dingyuan's face was gloomy, and she instructed Mama Song, "Go and ask for a doctor quickly!" ”

"I'm afraid it's too late to invite the imperial doctor, why don't you go to the street medical hall and ask Lang Zhong to come over first?"

Su's complexion also changed dramatically, seeing Tong Xue's appearance, countless thoughts had turned in his heart, and he said quickly.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou glanced at her sharply, asked Mama Song to go quickly, and instructed Mama Zhang to go to Huichun Hall quickly to ask for a doctor.
