Chapter 24: Catching the Wind
"Okay, okay, Xiao Wu just came back, what kind of outsiders are you talking about? We don't have enough incense in our own family, right, Xiao Wu? Second sister-in-law Xie said with a smile, and gave Xie Dongli several chopsticks and the potsticker mullet he loved to eat.
"I heard that you came back today, the steward of the small kitchen went to the Qingjiang River early in the morning to find the fresh mullet bought by the boatman, came back and raised it in the water tank, and waited for you to enter the door before killing the batch slices, sandwiching a piece of Xuanwei ham as thin as paper six points fat and four points thin between the two mullet fillets, and roasted it on a flat bell with a simmer, without adding any ingredients, only taking the tenderness of the mullet and the umami of the ham. - You taste ......"
"Your second sister-in-law is in charge of the kitchen, and she is most concerned about your food." Sister-in-law Xie scooped a spoonful of osmanthus snow mushroom eggs for Xie Dongliang, "This is a bowl of vegetables that you didn't like to eat meat for a while when you were a child, and only ate vegetarian food, and your second sister-in-law was worried that you would not grow up, so she came up with a bowl of vegetables." Mix egg whites with cooked lard and steam over low heat. After cooking, the hot one comes out, and the lard and egg water are melted, like a monkey brain, white and fresh. Because I was afraid that you would eat the greasy taste of lard, your second sister-in-law specially added fresh osmanthus powder and sprinkled it on it to relieve the greasy. You have a great appetite for eating, and you will no longer avoid meat and fish. ”
Xie Dongli didn't make a sound, but with a faint smile on his lips, he ate all the dishes sent by his sister-in-law and second sister-in-law.
"Second sister-in-law, I brought a Persian cat back." After eating, Xie Dongli ordered Ah Shun to hug Da Hei over, "I just gave birth to a cub, but a cat cub...... It's been given away. ”
Xie Er's sister-in-law's maiden name is Ning, she was born in Wanning Houfu, and she loves to raise cats the most, but Xie Dongli was allergic to cat hair when she was a child, and after the Xie family found out, Xie Er's sister-in-law took the initiative to stop raising cats, and the Xie family could no longer see cats.
Second sister-in-law Xie saw the pure black Persian cat, her eyes were straight, but she just glanced at it reluctantly, and shook her head bitterly: "No need, I don't like cats for a long time......"
Xie Dongli said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm already fine, this cat followed me all the way from Persia to Dongyuan, and I didn't have anything to do." ”
"Really?!" Second sister-in-law Xie suddenly became energetic, and involuntarily stretched out her hand, hugged Da Hei in her arms, and skillfully scratched Da Hei's jaw with her hand, and said, "You are really no longer sensitive to cat hair?" ”
Xie Dongli gave Da Hei Shun Shun Mao with his hand, "It's okay." ”
Uncle Xie and Second Master Xie were even more happy, and they both joked: "The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have gifts, what about the eldest brother and the second brother?" - Dongli, you can't favor one over the other! ”
Xie Dongli smiled and said, "Of course, the eldest brother and the second brother are indispensable. -- I've been sent to your outer study. ”
What he brought back to Uncle Xie and Second Master Xie was a weapon produced by Da Shi, Uncle Xie had a black gold sword, which is said to be made of special iron material, which is stainless for thousands of years and extremely sharp. Second Master Xie is a longbow, and the bowstring is a rare platinum-iron gold wire, so thin that it is invisible, but it is extremely tough and strong.
Uncle Xie and Second Master Xie knew the meaning when they heard the song, and when they heard that it was sent to their outer study, it must be a good thing such as a weapon, and they thanked them with great joy.
The nephews and nieces of the Xie family also pounced on them to ask for gifts, Xie Dongli got up with a smile and said, "You all have one, one box per person, and they will all be sent to your room." ”
The hall of the Xie family's main courtyard immediately resounded with laughter.
……
Under the lamp of the hall from the inner courtyard of Situ Mansion to your hall, Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei sat together for dinner.
On the table was a small plate of corn kernels fried with lean minced meat, and the meat and corn kernels were a little old. A plate of eggplant sorrel, which is made of dried eggplant shredded and marinated in sake sauce, is a little too salty. In addition, there is a bowl of tofu stewed fat fish head is very delicious, Situ Yingsleeve soaked rice with fish soup, and only put down the chopsticks after eating two bowls.
Situ Chenlei was anxious to play with Xiao Meow, and the maid Xiao Tao fed him whatever he wanted, and soon finished eating two bowls of rice.
The kitchen man brought two red lacquer food boxes, one containing two bowls of rock sugar bird's nest and the other sweet cake and snacks, which can be used for supper at night.
Two sweet cakes, osmanthus sugar steamed new chestnut powder cake, chrysanthemum horseshoe crystal cake are made exquisitely and meticulously, although there is only one in a plate, but the size is not small, two people can eat it.
The snack is relatively simple, a small box of fried red yeast peony fish, even the bones are fried and crispy, it is a snack dish, but because of the oil and fish, I am hungry in the middle of the night, and I am very full to eat a small strip. There is also a box of fried lotus root, which is golden in color and delicious at first glance.
These two food boxes are much stronger than they look for dinner.
Situ Yingsleeve looked at the cook with a smile and asked, "Who ordered this food box?" ”
The cook hurriedly said: "Back to the eldest lady, these two food boxes were specially prepared by the lady for the eldest lady and the eldest young master in the big kitchen, saying that I was in a hurry to go home today, and the dinner prepared by the big kitchen was not satisfactory, and if the eldest lady and the eldest young master were hungry at night, they could be used for supper." Also, tomorrow Mrs. will cook herself and make a feast for everyone. ”
"Oh? Dad and Mom also eat these dishes? Situ Yingsleeve put back the two bowls of rock sugar bird's nest, "We don't eat bird's nest, please don't worry about it in the future." I made cordyceps chicken soup for my brother, and it was still simmering on the fire in the small kitchen of Zhiguitang. ”
The cook answered, packed up the food box and took it back, leaving only pastries and snacks.
Situ Yingsleeve watched Situ Chenlei play with Xiao Meow for a while, and both the person and the cat began to yawn, and couldn't help but laugh, and touched Situ Chenlei's head, "Wash and sleep." Play again tomorrow. ”
Situ Chenlei listened to Situ Ying's words very much, raised his head and called her: "Sister, ......" and obediently followed Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing to the bathroom to wash.
Situ Darkincense also came back from the upper room of the main courtyard at this time, and said to Situ Yingsleeve that he was tired, and he didn't mention it peacefully.
……
Early the next morning, Situ Yingsleeve got up and ordered Caiqin and Caisang to take care of Situ Chenlei, she went to the main courtyard to ask for peace, and talked to her father by the way.
When I came to the main courtyard, I found that Situ Jianren had actually gone to the board of directors of the business institute.
Zhang pulled Situ Yingsleeve to eat breakfast together, and said, "I got up so early, I must not have eaten breakfast yet." ”
Situ Yingsleeve really hasn't eaten yet, she originally planned to finish talking to her father and then go back to eat with Situ Chenlei.
Now that Zhang is pulling her to eat, she happens to be a little hungry, so she is no longer polite and sits down to eat with her.
Zhang's breakfast is very simple, just a bowl of purple potato and japonica rice porridge, a plate of tofu skin buns, and a few cold side dishes.
The cook saw that Situ Yingsleeve was also eating here, so she put her share over.
Her breakfast consisted of a small bowl of red dates and barley porridge and a bowl of Yunying noodles.
Yunying noodles are not good-looking, seemingly simple, but in fact, the method is very complicated, it is to use lotus, lotus root, taro, water chestnut, mushroom and lily to grind and steam, and then add honey, and after cooling, you can use a knife to cut into thin noodles to eat.
This dish was brought by Situ Yingsleeve's mother-in-law, Shen Yongjie, from the Shen family. This kind of food, naturally, only a family with such a rich and noble family as the three marquis and five phases can never get tired of eating fine, and they don't get tired of being fine.
After Situ Yingsleeve accompanied Zhang's breakfast, she went out of the second door and went to the business institute to see her father Situ Jianren.
Situ Jianren had just finished breakfast and was discussing with the big shopkeeper Lu Youxing.
Seeing Situ Yingsleeve coming in, Lu Youxing hurriedly retired, so that Situ Yingsleeve and her father could have a good talk.
"Yingsleeve, did you come to me for something?" Situ Jianren sat on the bookcase and looked at the account book the day after tomorrow, and asked without raising his head.
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, "I want to ask my father, who bought the captain, helmsman and boat lady on our ship?" Where did you buy it from? Dad kept saying that he would tell me when he got off the boat......"
Situ Jianren sighed, put down the account book, and said, "What's the use of telling you?" In the future, I just don't associate with them. ”
"They? Who are they? Situ Yingsleeve asked without flinching, "Dad, this matter is related to me and my brother, I have to ask to understand." ”
"It's not just about you and your brother? It's all about our family. Situ Jianren said hatefully, "If it weren't for the second prince of Nan Zhengguo, our whole family would have died!" ”
"yes, dad tell me, who the hell is it?"
"Hehe, you want to know, it's okay to sue you. - It's your uncle. Situ Jianren picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looked up and saw Situ Yingsleeve with a surprised look, and smiled helplessly: "You understand, right?" Okay, let's not talk about this today, but the cat, we have to go to Xie's house, thank you. Besides, you really don't have a penny, so you ignore other people's cats? ”
In fact, Situ Jianren mentioned going to the Xie family, not that he really wanted to take care of the cat, but that his big shopkeeper Lu Youxing had just reminded him that Xie Dongli, the fifth master of the Xie family, was likely to be the top student in high school.
Xie Dongli was originally born in a five-phase family, and once he was in high school, he would not be able to run for at least one deputy prime minister position in the future. -- Such a person must not be offended!
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, and said weakly: "Dad, I'll go with you to apologize." ”
She knows that the fifth son of the Xie family will soon be the top student in high school, and he will also be the youngest vice minister in the history of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom......
Although she doesn't want to tie up the Xie family, it's always bad to have a grudge with the other party.
