Ah Ju should come down, but did not go to eat, but directly took the box and gave gifts.

It's not that this girl is positive, but she didn't hold back when she smelled the delicious food outside, and she came back with something after filling her stomach.

"The things have been sent out, so you're finally relieved this time, aren't you?" Hua Changjing glanced at Jiang Ying with a smile, then yawned lazily and said, "I'm a little sleepy at noon, I'll lie down, do you want to go back and rest for a while?" ”

Jiang Ying grinned and nodded when she heard this.

But as soon as he turned around and walked out of the room, he went straight to the kitchen.

I don't know if it's because she and Hua Changjing were frightened and broke their legs in the past two days, the meals sent by the people in the Taishou Mansion at noon on the past two days were much richer than before, but they didn't have the appetite for her and Hua Changjing.

The host's family has good intentions, and they naturally have nothing to say, but they must not only be polite, but also be responsible for their own appetite-

Jiang Ying pondered to make some appetizing crispy fruit snacks to taste, and when Hua Chang woke up, she could also use them directly as afternoon tea.

As usual, Jiang Ying first went to the space vegetable garden to get some fresh ingredients, and then played with Bai Xiao in the garden for a while before returning to the kitchen, looking down, it was a white tiger hair that had been stained.

This guy's moulting period is a kind of erratic willfulness, completely unobeying the laws of nature, which often makes her unguarded.

After carefully shaking the white hairs on her body, Jiang Ying was able to free up her hands to clean the ingredients.

There was nothing on the side, just a few potatoes. Plucked a handful of tender green shallots.

I thought about it for a while, I didn't plan to make any exquisite dim sum, I was tired of eating it often, and I wanted to change the taste and make a few potato cakes to taste.

"Girl, what are you getting to eat?"

Jiang Ying was getting ready when Ah Ju walked in from outside happily and stretched out her head to look this way.

"I'm going to make some hash browns." Jiang Ying raised her head and glanced at her and asked, "Why did you come back so soon?" Have you delivered everything? ”

"It's all sent to ......," Ah Ju explained, "When I went to the eldest lady, it happened that the other ladies were there, and I only went to the second lady's place again." So come back quickly. ”

"Do they still like it?" Jiang Ying wiped the utensils. He asked.

"That's natural, I love it! Everyone can't put it down, and their eyes light up when they see the contents of the box-" Ah Ju's words don't know if they are exaggerated, but I can finally be sure that this gift is quite good. Didn't buy a loss.

And what Jiang Ying didn't know was. Ah Ju's words. It's not an exaggeration at all.

When she sent the things over, Mrs. Deng was also surprised to see it.

Not to mention a few side ladies and those two aunts who are not considered to be ladies.

Junzhou is barren, and in recent years, there have been continuous conquests. Among the people, there are many hungry and cold people, and those who can go to the middle and upper class are considered to be middle-to-upper-class, and Deng Taishou is honest, and the population of the house is here, although the daily expenses are not tight, but there is really no extra money in the houses to buy these valuable heads.

And these things that Jiang Ying asked Ah Ju to send, even if it was the cheapest hairpin, I am afraid that it would cost them a whole month's monthly money in their room.

Therefore, at this moment, Mrs. Deng, who was dressed in a colorful folded branch gown, sat on the kang against the wall, looked at the other three ladies sitting on the drum bench below, and said with a straight face: "In any case, these things are too expensive. People are just following Miss Hua to live in our house for a while, and if we accept such a valuable gift from her, it will seem too cheap. ”

"That's not right, is what my sister said...... This thing was sent by the girl herself, and it wasn't the sisters who reached out to ask for it, so why did it become that we were greedy for cheapness? ”

"Yes, sister, this is the heart of a girl...... If you send it back again, what will the girl think? ”

"That's right, I think the second sister is right."

“……”

The three women chattered and persuaded, but they all shouted "girl, girl", and no one could even figure out Jiang Ying's surname.

Each jewelry box is still in his hand, which really responds to Aju's sentence "I can't put it down".

Mrs. Deng glanced at their nervous expressions, and said so many high-sounding excuses, to put it bluntly, they didn't want to return this piece of meat to their mouths.

Not to mention them, even she herself is reluctant, women are born to like these flashy and vain things, not to mention the women of their official eunuchs.

But this gift is really too precious, this Jiang girl brought back the maid she sent yesterday, and today she sent a gift, no matter how you look at it, I don't want to owe them the slightest bit of the Deng family......

Seeing her hesitation, the women sitting below took the opportunity to open their mouths again: "...... Eldest sister, it's not that the little sister I speak ugly, our sisters are afraid that they can't find such a decent face even if they turn over the cabinets, the only thing that can be compared is the eldest sister, your dowry back then, eldest sister, you are from a prestigious family, and you don't look down on these things, but our sisters are not as good as the eldest sister...... These things have only been seen by others, usually the master banquets friends and colleagues, and the sisters dare not go out easily, for fear of showing someone to the lord to embarrass the master......"

This is a bit of an exaggeration.

But it's not all lies.

In addition, while belittling themselves, they did not forget to elevate the eldest lady, and took the reasons why they wanted to leave the jewelry on themselves, which can be said to have given Mrs. Deng enough face and steps.

Mrs. Deng really shook when she heard this, and the heavy jewelry box was placed on the table beside her.

It's just a little girl.

I don't want to owe them too much favor, which is understandable.

Besides, she also asked people to inquire yesterday, and the news she got so far is not worth mentioning, saying that this girl's family is in the capital. opened a restaurant, and the business is not bad.

"Then let's keep it...... But don't deliberately talk about it with others, so as not to seem that you are uninformed and too childish, but after receiving some jewelry, you will happily forget about it. Mrs. Deng admonished.

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, and happily agreed, and after listening to Mrs. Da's explanation absentmindedly, they went back with their own treasure boxes.

"What is the origin of this girl...... Mrs. Deng looked at the jewelry box opened in front of her, and a set of golden emerald heads were placed in it, and her face was dazzling. The more I think about it, the more I feel that it doesn't look like an ordinary merchant lady sent a shot. So I couldn't help frowning and muttering to myself.

With such a generous shot, and such a valuable thing was directly sent to the maid to deliver it, he didn't even show his face......

If she is a rich lady from a businessman like Hua Changjing, she has never heard of any wealthy businessmen in the capital with the surname Jiang. A restaurant that has just been opened for a short time. How much profit can she make so corrupt?

It's a few hundred taels casually. This is not something that ordinary small families can give.

He also had a close relationship with the prince and prince of Xiling.

Isn't she an upstart in the capital who has just risen in recent years, hasn't she had time to hear about it in the northwest?

Mrs. Deng noticed this, and thought that it would be good to have someone investigate it carefully when she went back.

……

It's late afternoon. The sun is slightly westerly when it is softest and warmer.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Ah Ju pushed open the door and came to the room, first whispered a tentative question, but got no response, and then entered the bedroom.

Seeing that Hua Changjing was still asleep, he smiled and approached the person to wake him up gently, and said: "Miss, don't sleep, you will have a headache if you sleep too much in the afternoon - didn't you eat at noon, Miss Jiang made something delicious, it was just hot out of the pot, you hurry up and taste it!" ”

Hua Changjing was woken up by her, a little reluctant, rubbing her eyes but still subconsciously asked, "What delicious food did she make?" ”

"Fried dumplings, mashed potatoes! Golden golden, fragrant and crispy to look at! Ah Ju said with a snort.

“…… Are the dumplings still fried? "Hua Changjing is unheard of.

And the mashed potato stuffing...... Can it be delicious?

"The slave didn't believe that it could taste good at first, but when it came out of the pot, the slave and maid tasted one, and the taste was really good! That's when I hurriedly called Miss to get up and eat together! ”

Hua Changjing couldn't help but be interested in what she said, and the displeasure of being woken up disappeared, and she took the light salt water prepared by Ah Ju and rinsed her mouth, because she couldn't get out of bed, she was just about to urge Ah Ju to get some over and try it, when she saw Jiang Ying walking in with a plate of fried dumplings.

"Sister Hua is awake?"

Jiang Ying walked up to Hua Changjing with a smile, took a dumpling with chopsticks and leaned over to send it over, and said coquettishly: "Taste whether it's delicious or not-"

Originally, it was planned to be made into potato cakes, but Ah Ju casually mentioned that she wanted to eat dumplings at night, Jiang Ying thought about it, and simply threw a few washed potatoes in her hand into the pot and steamed them, and made vegetarian fried dumplings with mashed potato filling.

Hua Changjing unceremoniously opened his mouth to take it, and when he took a bite, he only felt that the skin was crispy and fragrant, and then tasted the hot mashed potato filling inside, the mashed potatoes in the entrance were soft and not greasy, I don't know what kind of treatment it had undergone, not only was it not monotonous at all, but the taste was surprisingly good. In addition, the fried dumpling skin is fragrant and crispy, and these two completely different flavors appear on the tip of the tongue together, and the taste is an unexpected enjoyment.

Hua Changjing's taste buds, which had just woken up and were still a little sluggish, were all opened at once.

"Hmm...... I didn't expect it to be really good, it turns out that dumplings can still be eaten like this!" Hua Changjing ate this one, simply 'snatched' the chopsticks in Jiang Ying's hand, and put another one in his mouth.

Looking at the smiling face in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart that this girl is really a treasure, how good it would be if she could turn back to their Hua family, but it was a pity that she was preempted by the kid from the Jin family, hey, the stinky boy who can't laugh doesn't know where the blessing came from......

Hua Changjing sighed while eating.

Ah Ju ran back to the kitchen and filled a few servings, and the three of them sat around the bed, eating and talking, which made one happy.

In the afternoon, a few good girls sit in the room and talk and eat snacks, which is a great joy in life.

And a few people were talking about the place of arising, but they were interrupted by a series of sudden and rapid footsteps.

The door to the room was not closed so that the sunlight from outside could shine in, so people came in without any hindrance.

Of course, this is not someone who can stop a door......

Seeing Xiaohong walking in with a mysterious step, with a heroic and indescribable swagger, Jiang Ying wanted to sigh.

What a good little girl, how can she learn not to walk normally?

To be honest, the reason why she is reluctant to take Xiaohong out easily is that on the one hand, she is afraid that she will hurt others, but on the other hand, she is afraid that she will be beaten by others when she walks like this.

Xiaohong didn't know Jiang Ying's worries, and walked over with a swaggering posture, and was about to speak when she suddenly saw the plate of fried dumplings in front of Jiang Ying that only had two or three left.

"Hungry!" Xiaohong's righteous words.

"Let's eat—" Jiang Ying looked at her messy hair amusedly, and said, "I left it for you, and when I saw that you were taking a nap, I didn't call you to get up." ”

Xiaohong and Hua Changjing are different, when she is sleeping, if anyone dares to scream, it is possible to kill someone.

"Delicious!" Xiaohong stuffed one into her mouth, bit the dumpling skin with a clattering sound, and squinted her eyes with a smile when she felt that she was on her appetite.

"I'll eat all the delicious food, and there's still something in the kitchen."

Little Red was even happier.

Gu Zaili, who was just listening to the movement outside the door and waiting for a response, was not happy at all...... The maid who looks silly and stupid, and her gestures reveal an astonishing roughness, didn't she go to spread it for her, why did she eat it inside!

"Ahem!"

She coughed heavily, reached out and knocked twice.

Several people in the room heard the movement, except for Xiaohong, they were all stunned.

Ah Ju went around the screen to check, and after only a moment, a surprised voice came-

"Why is Miss Deng Er here?"

"I'm coming to find Miss Jiang."

Looking for her?

Jiang Ying and Hua Changjing glanced at each other.

"Eighty percent received something and came to thank you. It's not good to be a lady to come over in person, and it's also polite to let the girl run away. Hua Changjing said softly, "Since you're here, you can go and see it." ”

Jiang Ying nodded, got up and left.

But her intuition told her that this Miss Deng Er came to her, but she didn't come to thank her.

And her instinct was indeed accurate this time.

This can be roughly explained as...... Basic induction between rivals.

……

PS: About the fried dumplings with mashed potatoes in this chapter, Xiao Fei has thought about it himself, tried a lot of methods, and thinks the best one is to peel and mash the potatoes after steaming, and go through them in the pot: put a small amount of animal oil first, almost colored, put the salt and condiments in it, and then put the mashed potatoes and green onions, and stir-fry for a while to mix the ingredients together. The back is wrapping, frying, and eating.

Oh, you can also put some meat foam into it with your own taste~ You can try it if you have time, it's super simple (to be continued......)
