Chapter 51: The Past is Shaky

The fingers flicked the cheeks of the flower picker, as if touching the tender yellow buds, and only the softness was visible on the fingertips. The flower picker pushed his fingers away, smiled, and sent the petals bigger than herself forward, just in time for him to touch them.

It's a little cold and a little sticky.

Mingyan licked her lips and said enviously: "Master, this is a hundred potpourri." Smelling this aroma, it should be produced by Layue winter plum, which is the rarest and the most delicious. ”

Baoyu smiled and sucked her fingers, suddenly stunned.

That's right, it's honey, but it's tastier.

He felt a sweet fragrance in his heart, and in his nose, there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in a trance, and the aftertaste lingered for three days. Swallowing, the chest and abdomen are even more proper, as if a small hand has soothed all the internal organs, very comfortable.

[It has the taste of honey, but it is full of smart energy, which can nourish and nourish the internal organs. In particular, the stomach and intestines obviously feel a lot more comfortable. 】

Boom, boom, the flower picker is still putting the petals on his face. Baoyu reached out and took it, tilted his neck, and drank it all.

Not much, only a tablespoon of it, but he was warm and hungry when he drank itβ€”obviously, his stomach was nourished to a certain extent.

"Thank you. Baoyu smiled at the flower picker.

The flower picker proudly picked up her little chin, muttered twice, and drilled his hair to keep warm, Baoyu teased her again, but she didn't move. Next to him, he looked at it with a blank eye, licked his lips with his tongue and said, "Master, you don't want these petals, do you?"

"You're a glutton. Baoyu handed over the petals.

Mingyan took the petals, stuffed them into his mouth with the potpourri sticking on them, chewed and chewed, and swallowed it with a happy face, "Master, you don't know, this potpourri is not only delicious, but the aura inside is also very useful to our demon clan." ”

looked around, lowered his voice and said, "If you want to say that Sister-in-law Li Kun is really good to you, this baby has a very small output, and most of them are sent to you." You still don't eat ......."

Baoyu knocked him and said with a smile: "You are also a tongue chewer, you should be beaten." ”

"Hey, just this mouthful of potpourri, you can beat me half to death. ”

...

On the east side of the west flower wall, is Li Kun's small courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, much smaller than Jia's mother's, but there is only a small pool of flowing water, which makes the courtyard a little more elegant. Li Kun and Lan Ge'er live in the courtyard, they should be little maids and servants, that is a don't want one, they are all carefully taken care of by the mother and son, and they have a bit of a taste of escapism.

If there is no waiting, naturally there is no need for a summons. Baoyu pushed the door in, and was faced with a thin yellow wooden bridge on the small pond, only three zhang long, for only one person to walk. Under the bridge, koi fish are rolling, and when they see people coming, they are scrambling to jump up.

"Good fellow, begging for food. "Mingyan is young, it is the age of love, I saw that there was rice on the railing, I sprinkled it down, and looked amused.

Baoyu knocked him again, and wanted to go in the direction of Li Kunfang. Suddenly, there was a slippery fit under his feet, and a three-foot-long, chubby herring jumped up from the pond, fluttering, and flew up his trouser leg.

Mingyan's eyes widened and he shouted, "Master, this is the blue fish, you have to have a good thing!"

Baoyu nodded, also very happy. He knew that the blue fish was a kind of ghost spirit, and it was extremely difficult to see it on weekdays. It is said to represent auspiciousness, and whoever sees it must be a lucky person.

He stroked the blue fish, the scales were slippery and slightly cool. The flower picker flew out of his hair, sat on the back of the blue fish with her legs crossed, and smiled at him as if she were talking.

"Brother Yu, you are so great a creation. ”

Before anyone arrived, the sound was heard first. Li Kun pushed the door out, saw this situation, and said with a smile: "These two are not close to each other on weekdays, but they are very happy when you come today." The flower picker said that your taste is very beautiful, and there are more powerful ghosts and elves who have left a mark on you, saying hello. ”

Baoyu was shocked onceβ€”he really didn't know that.

I thought about it and laughed again. A more powerful goblin elf? It should be Scrooge. He had checked the origin of Scrooge, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. Some people say it's just an ordinary ghost, while others say it's a high-level ghost spirit.

[I don't know what the old guy thinks, it's up to him.] 】

Baoyu greeted Li Kun's sister-in-law and said a few more words of relief.

Li Kun was originally the daughter of a famous eunuch in Jinling, who was elegant and dignified since she was a child, and she was wise in handling things, but she was detached from the outside world, and she was very fond of ghosts and elves. When she married Jia Zhu, she brought two ghosts and elves, and it was very lively.

But Jia Zhu died of illness, Li Kun was young and widowed, and his heart simply became like a dead ash. She just wants to raise Lan Ge'er well, let Lan Ge'er achieve fame, and she will be just this life.

Thinking of this, Baoyu saw that Li Kun's still young and elegant face was a little sickly, and invited Mingyan to help him.

"Sister-in-law. Baoyu shouted.

Li Kun nodded in response, and the flower picker and the green fish over there went over to pester her, making her retreat with a few words. She handed out a plain hand for Mingyan to support, looked Baoyu up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Yu'er is getting more and more energetic." ”

Baoyu thanked him and said with a smile: "I don't know why my sister-in-law called me?"

"I'm afraid that you will think too much and see you. ”

Li Kun looked at the koi under the bridge, shook his head and said, "Your literary name has been bad recently, I'm afraid you will think too much, so I'll talk to you for a few words." You are Lan'er's master of learning words, since it is, it will always be. Before the death of the family, I loved you the most, but when he went, I, as a sister-in-law, naturally loved you too. ”

"No matter what your future looks like or what your literary name is, you are Lan'er's master of learning words. It's like that white jade dew, if you don't like to eat it, and if you pour it out, I will still send someone to send it. ”

Baoyu raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, he was a sensible person, and he knew it for a long time, but he didn't keep quiet.

Li Kun glanced at him, his beautiful eyes were shining, and said: "When the head of the family was alive, he liked to eat white jade dew the most, but he didn't eat it, he just boiled the white jade syrup and ate it himself, and the hundred flower dew was sent to you." When he went, I put the two together and boiled them for you. If you don't like to eat, I'll give it away. ”

The tears finally fell, and Li Kun choked up: "You don't blame your sister-in-law, it's just your brother Zhu'......"

Baoyu sighed - this is a complete memory of her thoughts about Jia Zhu. He was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes straightened, and he paced back and forth two steps, slapping the railing.

"Sister-in-law, do you mean...... Big brother, when he was alive, he had to eat white jade syrup?"

"yes, you forgot?"

Baoyu smiled bitterly: "I was young at that time, I don't remember." Sister-in-law, I'm hungry, cook me a bowl, okay?"

...

Li Kun also has a fire kang here, and the fire eye boils soup.

Compared with the blue yarn cupboard, the furnishings in Li Kun's room are much more frugal, except for a hand-painted palace lamp, which is an ordinary household item. Li Kun used an iron pot to hold the bean foam, and pinched a thumb-sized porcelain bottle. Poured half a bottle, thought about it, and poured it all down.

"I only have two or three bottles here, and the flower picker likes you, so I can't say I will give more. Li Kun smiled, mixed the bean foam and potpourri well, poured another bowl of water, added half a spoon, and praised it with fire.

The lid should have been covered, but Baoyu let it be lifted and looked. Li Kun couldn't help it, so he added half a spoonful of water.

said to boil a bowl, this pot will be steamed off a lot when the lid is opened, and more water should be added.

She and Baoyu looked at each other carefully, talking with each other. It didn't take long for a small bubble to bubble up on the side of the pot, and Li Kun smiled: "This is cooked, you can't boil it for too long, and you will lose the fragrance of potpourri dew." The head of the family said before his death that even if he didn't add a hundred flowers, it would be enough for the fire. ”

As he spoke, he wanted to bring out the white and tender yellow soup.

Baoyu shook her head and let the cigarette take it out and pour it out.

Li Kun looked at him in a daze, and his beautiful eyes were puzzled. Baoyu smiled and said gently: "Sister-in-law, don't think about it, it's like this, it tastes really bad." ”

"That's what the owner drinks, and he doesn't add potpourri. You know, the potpourri was sent to you. Li Kun's tone was not very good. Anyone who does this will not be happy.

Baoyu was appeased and gave the reason. The first is that the potpourri can't be boiled for a long time, and the aura will be lost after a long time; the second is that the white jade syrup should be boiled for more hours, otherwise, there will be beany smell.

Li Kun laughed at him and said, "You are so clever." ”

Baoyu shook her head and didn't answer.

What kind of Karakuri is this?

White jade syrup is to put it bluntly, that is soy milk. There is a false boiling phenomenon in soy milk, but there are small bubbles coming out of the edge of the pot, but it is not actually cooked. It's nothing to say raw, most of the food, raw can be eaten, but this soy milk, if it's not cooked, is really a life-threatening thing.

If the soy milk is not cooked, the toxins will destroy the stomach and intestines, if it is not for the addition of potpourri, ordinary people will die of diarrhea in three or two days. Even if potpourri is added, it can only slow down the speed of destruction, and sooner or later, it will accumulate and kill people.

He has always wondered about Xiao Baoyu's body bones, it turns out that the problem is here.

[Li Kun's family drinks like this, Jia Zhu drinks like this......] Baoyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, this Jia Zhu, could it be that he died of this violent illness?

Unlike Xiao Baoyu, Jia Zhu is a real Qingqiu fox clan, but even though he is a demon clan, he can't withstand the toxin erosion for many years. I'm afraid, there really is a reason for this.

He seemed to ask casually, "Sister-in-law, why does my eldest brother like to eat this?"

"Oh, someone told him: In ancient times, there was a prince named Liu An who invented it and liked to eat it the most. He ate it, rejoiced, and fell in love. ”

"Who told Big Brother about that?"

"I don't know, the head of the house is ...... early"

Baoyu narrowed her eyes, and a murderous intent was hidden in her heart. It seems that the ups and downs in Jiafu had clues long before Jia Zhu died of illness. The white jade pulp sounds good and is a tasteful one, but it has not been spread in the Great Zhou. If anyone knows how to eat, they must know the harm.

[Amazing, soy milk is eaten raw, and the toxins in it are difficult to find even in modern times. In this big week, it's really a murder without blood. It's a pity that Jia Zhu is dead, and the culprit can't be found. 】

Seeing that he was stunned, Li Kun said with a smile: "It turned out to be such a trivial matter, then I will boil more in the future, and finally add potpourri dew." It's all a trifle, but it's your name...... Brother Yu, you can't let outsiders talk nonsense. ”

Baoyu nodded, wanting to say that he was not in a hurry, but before the time came, suddenly his eyes were dark, and he knelt on the ground on half a knee.

"Brother Yu!" Li Kun exclaimed, wanting to help him.

Baoyu pushed away the hand he had helped in, looked up at the sky, and felt that from the void somewhere, bursts of coercion had rammed into his heart. He knew what it was, and burst out laughing.

"That's what I'm waiting for!"

Close your eyes and enter Wenshan.
