It was also because he guessed the identities of Yu Dong and Qiu Qian that Xu Qirong made the decision to ask his grandmother to come.

Xu Qirong smiled at Huayu Deyingying: "You are so good to me, how can I thank you?" ”

Hua Yude looked at Xu Qirong, for a long time, pulled the person to lie on the bed, and said, "What do the husband and wife say thank you?" I really want to thank you, I went to Shen's house during the Lantern Festival, the osmanthus dumplings you made yourself are delicious, why don't you make them for me tomorrow morning? ”

Xu Qirong has never learned cooking in his life, he was competitive in his previous life, but he has learned, and later in order to please Yunlan, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law, he bothered to study, but no one said a good word to her. Therefore, Xu Qirong rarely cooks in this life.

Osmanthus dumplings are just the simplest and least bothersome dessert, but Hua Yude is so worried about it. Xu Qirong's heart softened, and he said softly: "How is a piece of osmanthus glutinous rice balls enough, you come back early tomorrow night, and I will wait for you to have dinner together." ”

Hua Yude was about to agree, but suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with the prince of Beijun to have dinner with General Yang Jingcheng, who had secretly come from Beitingguan, and said a little apologetically: "Ming'er has a dinner tonight, don't wait for me, eat first." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed on Xu Qirong's face, Hua Yude looked a little unbearable, and changed his words: "Otherwise, I will take the time to come back at noon to accompany you for lunch?" ”

Nowadays, whether it is Xijing City or Yaojing City, the war is a good situation, and it is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue. So Hua Yude started to get busy again. Breakfast and dinner are fine at home, but lunch is often so busy that I don't have time to eat. Xu Qirong made the kitchen early every day and put it in the food box. Let Tong'er inquire about Hua Yude's whereabouts and send the food over.

Hearing Hua Yude say this, where is Xu Qirong willing to do it. Busy said: "You are very busy, you don't have to take the time to come back and have lunch with me." Since there is a dinner in the evening, it doesn't hurt. When you eat half a bowl of rice less, can I invite you to have a supper? ”

Hua Yude saw Xu Qirong thinking about him like this, and his heart felt even softer, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but you have to eat yourself to cushion your stomach first." Don't wait for me hungry. ”

Xu Qirong responded, and the two of them slept without mentioning it.

Early the next morning, it was just dawning outside. Xu Qirong got up lightly, and when he arrived at the kitchen, Yu Niang was squatting in front of the chicken coop to scatter grains, and saw Xu Qirong coming. Busy oops. Saluted and said, "This kitchen is in chaos, and there is no fire, what does grandma want to eat when she comes so early?" Where is the need for grandma to come in person, just send a maid to say it! ”

Xu Qirong said with a smile: "Master went out early today, last night he said he wanted to eat osmanthus rice balls......

Before he could speak, he heard Yu Niang say: "Grandma, go back to the room and sleep again, the slave must be quick to make the osmanthus rice balls." ”

Yu Xia sneered behind Xu Qirong: "When did the master have requirements for food?" I just want to eat the osmanthus dumplings made by my grandmother. Yu Niang. Why don't you take out the glutinous rice flour in a hurry and wash the pot clean. The fire in the stove is lit, and then stand aside with me to see grandma's craft? ”

Yu Niang paused for a moment, then patted her head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the slave will go immediately." ”

Yu Xia pointed to Yu Niang's hand that had just fed the chickens: "Wash your hands carefully first." Then he complained, "If people like us want to eat chickens, we either buy the ones that have been processed, or we will buy them when we want to eat them, why bother to raise several of them at once, and they will be dirty to death." ”

Yu Niang hurriedly fetched water, washed her hands carefully with soaphorns, and explained: "My family is trying to buy a few cheaper coppers, and the slave will tell him later, it won't be like this in the future." ”

Yu Xia nodded with satisfaction, helped Xu Qirong and said, "Grandma, let's come here, the stove here is wider and clean, don't stain your shoes and dress." ”

Xu Qirong held back a smile and nodded Yu Xia's brows: "Yes, it's a bit of a lady in charge." ”

Yu Xia smacked her stupidity and lowered her head: "The girl knows how to make fun of the maid." ”

Osmanthus glutinous rice balls are a little time-consuming to make, but the process is not complicated, first add water to the glutinous rice flour, knead it into a dough and put it aside, then take the raw sesame seeds and fry them now, wait until the aroma is overflowing, crush them, rub them into three spoons of osmanthus stuffing, stir them with sesame seeds, and then knead them into small balls, and wrap them in the glutinous rice dough that was kneaded before. After the water in the pot boils, put the kneaded osmanthus rice balls into the pot, and when they float, you can take them out and eat.

Xu Qirong knew that Hua Yude liked sweetness, so he put two spoons of osmanthus stuffed and two spoons of white sugar in the pot.

Then he cleaned his hands, personally served it in the cyan glass bowl given by the princess of Beijun, and walked to the dining room.

When I walked to the verandah, I saw Hua Yude asking Bai Ping: "Where is your grandmother?" ”

Xu Qirong held the crystal plate with his own hand, there was a glass bowl in the plate, and the osmanthus rice balls in the bowl were still steaming, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm going to thank you." ”

At breakfast this day, Hua Yude ate three bowls of osmanthus dumplings, Xu Qirong was a little worried that he was in a panic, and hurriedly asked people to take hawthorn for him to eat, so he was relieved to let him go out.

Osmanthus glutinous rice balls are sweets, and they are made of glutinous rice, Xu Qirong didn't dare to let Chu Ba eat too much, so he only gave one, who knew that after Chu Ba ate it, he was still pestering to eat, Xu Qirong had no choice, so he had to let Yu Niang go to the kitchen and put half a bowl of osmanthus glutinous rice balls for Chu Ba to drink, which was considered to send people away.

Yu Xia pursed his lips and smiled: "That is, the eighth master of the first year is still young, and in two years, he will be fooled like this, but he can't be fooled!" ”

Xu Qirong smiled, shook his head, and felt that the osmanthus rice balls in the bowl were really a little sweet, and when he saw Bai Ping watching from the side, he ate the one he had bitten and gave the rest to Bai Ping.

Then he said, "You think we fooled him?" But a child who is more than a year old, I have never seen such a shrewd child in the eighth year of junior high school! Just now I told him that osmanthus rice balls are made of glutinous rice, and if he eats too much food, he must have understood. ”

In the evening, Xu Qirong really made a large table of good dishes by himself, waiting for Hua Yude to come back for supper. Hua Yude was surprised and moved, and the relationship between the husband and wife became better and better.

The time came on April 17, and Yu Dong and Qiuqian's etiquette learning began to bear fruit, and they had begun to follow Xu Qirong to go out from time to time.

This night, Xu Qirong personally went to Yu Xia's room, sealed her with thirty taels of silver as a dowry, and picked a pair of hairpins from his jewelry box with her, the master and servant said private words for two hours, Yu Xia sent Xu Qirong back to the bedroom of the main house with tears in his eyes.

Yu Dong and Qiu Qian wanted to serve Xu Qirong to sleep, Yu Xia didn't let him, and personally served Xu Qirong to sleep, Yu Xia said goodbye, and when he went out, he pulled Yu Dong and Qiu Qian to talk, and told the two of them to serve Xu Qirong well. (To be continued.) )
