Chapter 157: What a Friend Wants
"Cousin, this mouth! I really can't talk about you. Ling Ziye said helplessly, unbuttoned his cloak and found a chair to sit down.
"You two! Why do you quarrel as soon as you meet! By the way, Ye'er, aren't you too busy these days? I like to run to my old woman more than before. Old Madam Ling smiled. During these days, her side is also a lot more lively, Xin Yao has to come over every day, and Fei Fei will always come with her.
Even Ye'er and Xixi's sisters always come over to see her, and they didn't like the lively feeling before, and they felt annoying. Now I think it's also very interesting, her children and grandchildren are around her knees, and she can also feel the joy of family. Since Xin Yao came back, it seems that even the atmosphere in the house is different!
This kid is just likable, how can he get it back now! How nice it would be if you kept it by your side all the time! It's rare to come back now, and it's impossible to stay with me for too long. After another year or two, we will have to talk about family affairs, even if we don't get married early, then we should also pick a family to settle down, otherwise! Good people have been picked up.
I'm afraid that my old wife won't have the spirit to handle this child. If she leaves the matter to her daughter-in-law, to be honest, she is really a little worried. Xin Yao is not her granddaughter after all, and it is strange that her daughter-in-law will take care of it. And ah! Even if there is a good family, the daughter-in-law will definitely cling to her daughter first, and naturally it will not be Xin Yao's turn.
is the Li family, after Xin Yao came back, the daughter-in-law has always wanted Xixi and the Li family to marry. Although Xin Yao kept saying that she didn't care, she still felt sorry for this child! If the daughter and son-in-law are fine, Xin Yao and the Li family will be more than enough, where will it be to this point!
"Things out there weren't too busy, and grandmother didn't have to worry about me. I always run to my grandmother, not to rub the rice, I don't know if my cousin can cook by herself! Ling Ziye said with a grin, that expression, how to look like a cunning fox.
"You! I don't feel sorry for my cousin, but I always pester Xin Yao to cook food for you. If you are tired of Xin Yao, see how my old wife cleans you up. Old Madam Ling glared at Ling Ziye, but there was a smile in her eyes, and there was a hint of blame.
"Since my cousin came back! Grandmother doesn't hurt me at all! Look, there is only my cousin in my heart, it seems that I am going to become a child that no one wants. Ling Ziye looked at Mrs. Ling pitifully, like a child asking for candy. In the past, Li Xin really didn't know that Ling Ziye was so coquettish! Ever since she saw Ling Ziye getting along with the old lady, she really knew the truth that "people can't be good-looking".
It turns out that the cunning fox can also be coquettish!
"You! How can grandmother not hurt you! It's such a big person, why do you still eat your cousin's vinegar! Old Madam Ling poked Ling Ziye's forehead.
"Since my cousin is here to eat, then I'll prepare, otherwise I won't be able to eat." After talking together for a while, Li Xin stood up. She came early today, and she was going to cook a few side dishes by herself.
"I'm going to help my cousin too." Ling Feifei also stood up and went out with Li Xin. Songhetang is a courtyard house, with a small door between the upper room and the wing room that leads to the back. And behind it is where the small kitchen is, and the small kitchen is only for Songhetang to cook, and the scale will not be very large.
Only the meals eaten by Old Madam Ling and the people serving in Songhetang were made in the small kitchen, and there were not many people in total, so the people in the small kitchen were still relatively idle. It's not like a big kitchen, so you have to cook for so many people in the house! Even though there are a lot of people in the kitchen, it is still relatively busy. There are a lot of people in the house, and it's really not easy to serve this one to order two dishes at once, and that one to order two dishes at once.
The masters have to serve well, and the people who have a face in front of the masters still have to serve well, in fact, it is not a simple matter to work in the kitchen.
Li Xin came to the small kitchen, everyone was already busy, it was time to prepare lunch, so naturally they were going to get busy. Li Xin has been here many times, and the people in the kitchen will not be surprised for a long time. Li Xin is here, and he usually doesn't tell anyone to do things, and he does everything he can do by washing and cutting vegetables.
So you can not care about Li Xin at all, as long as you do what you have at hand.
Li Xin chose the ingredients and began to prepare, and Ling Feifei also followed her to wash the vegetables. The water is really cold in winter, and washing vegetables is not very simple.
"Miss, let's wash the slaves! The water is so cold, what if the two young ladies get frostbitten! Caixia looked at the water very cold, and said. They don't have the cooking skills of a young lady, so they can't help with cooking, but they can still be competent in washing and cutting vegetables.
The water in winter is so cold, if the young lady freezes to the miss, the old lady will definitely feel distressed, and then they will definitely say that they are incompetent as slaves!
"Alright! Then wash yourselves! Li Xin smiled, and then pulled Ling Feifei to stand up. Since Caiyun and Caixia are washing the dishes, she will deal with the other dishes first.
By the time the meal was about to start, Li Xin had already prepared a few dishes for himself. Every time she cooks, when the fragrance wafts out, it must have attracted a lot of people, even the people in the kitchen are very surprised. Speaking of which, there is no difference in the ingredients used in cooking! The steps don't seem to be the same, but how can the dishes made by Miss Biao taste so fragrant? The fragrance makes people drool!
However, they can only drool quietly, and the food cooked by the masters is naturally not the turn of their servants to taste.
After the dishes were ready, Li Xin cleaned up, and then pulled Ling Feifei to the upper room together.
"It's still my cousin's cooking! My stomach is squeamish by my cousin, and I feel that something is wrong when I eat the dishes made by others! When the food was served, Ling Ziye said with a smile.
"In that case, my cousin shouldn't always come to eat. If you are always picky and can't eat enough in the future, and you rely on me, don't I have a place to talk about my suffering? Li Xin glared at Ling Ziye, what do you mean by being cheap and selling well! There's one right in front of you.
"O you! Sit down and eat! It's getting cold, and the food is getting cold so fast that after a while I won't be able to eat it. Old Madam Ling was busy smiling and playing round. These two children! I don't know what's going on.,Always like to bicker.。 Ye'er obviously knows that she can't talk about Xin Yao, but she still likes to tease Xin Yao.
After eating, Ling Ziye was about to leave, but he pulled Li Xin out of the door together.
"Is there anything my cousin looking for me?" When he arrived in the courtyard, Li Xin asked. What's the matter with this person! Without saying a word, he pulled her out. There are a few pots of plum in the yard, and the aroma is very intoxicating. The potted plant of Lamei is not big, that is, it is a pot, but it is made of old trees, and the old trees have branches, short and short, but the flowers bloom very well.
The small golden flowers really look like batik.
"I'm really looking for something with my cousin, and I want my cousin to help with something." Ling Ziye was a little embarrassed, as soon as he saw him like that, he knew that it was difficult to say what he wanted.
"No matter what, cousin, if you say it, I'll hear it! If you don't say anything, I'll go into the house!" It's cold outside. "Ling Ziye has a habit, when it comes to not saying anything good, he will become slurred, or he will be silent and not speak for a long time.
But those who are waiting are in a hurry!
"That's right, a friend of mine is sick, but his mouth is very tricky, he doesn't like to eat like this, he doesn't want to eat like that. So! I want to beg my cousin, cousin to see if she can help me make some food? ”
"It turns out that my cousin wants to take me as a favor! Picky eating is not something a child should do! Isn't that friend of yours really not a good child, such a person, if you don't eat, you will starve to death. Li Xin glared at Ling Ziye. I didn't expect Ling Ziye to beg her because of such a thing!
"You! I'm still a kid! Who's a child! They're bigger than you. My cousin said that this favor would not help, right? ”
"It's okay if you want me to help! But what good can my cousin give me? I can't let my cousin give me a favor for nothing! ”
"What does that cousin want?"
"I can't think of what I want for a while, so why don't my cousins just mean it! But don't be too casual! ”
"Okay, I'll definitely bring a gift for my cousin. Why are you so traitorous! Ling Ziye looked at Li Xin a little speechlessly. This cousin is too rich and obsessed! Really, to put it mildly, she must have a lot of money in her hand. It's just that she doesn't have it, and besides, grandmother has so many bodies! Will you give her silver flowers? I don't know what to do with all that money.
"I also learned from my cousin! You profiteer. Li Xin smiled. Anyway, this cousin is so rich, I'm sorry for myself if I don't blackmail!
The two discussed what to cook again, and at this time, it was time for lunch, and Li Xin also said to make some snacks. After thinking of a few snacks, she went to work in the kitchen. I don't know what kind of friend Ling Ziye has, but it's not good to be picky eaters, so picky eaters, I'm not afraid that I will starve to death. must also be the son of a rich and noble family! If it is an ordinary child, it will definitely not be able to develop the bad habit of picky eating.
Moreover, the relationship between this person and Ling Ziye should be very unusual, otherwise Ling Ziye would not be so busy with it. R1152
