Chapter Seventy-Seven: Dinner
Cao Mu was stunned when he shouted by Qi Xuanhui's Third Uncle Cao, and the hairs on his body were extremely neat, and they all stood up!
Let a dignified prince, the son of the former emperor and his son, call his uncle so condescendingly, "Hey, hey! My God, this is a pro-Lao Tzu with the Holy Lord, and he calls me the third uncle, then"
Cao Mu was sincerely frightened in his heart, and even his heart and liver couldn't stop trembling, but he couldn't deny that this feeling was really amazing now.
It makes people nervous, makes people's hearts beat faster, and at the same time makes people swell their blood, but at the same time, they can't help but feel a little proud, just like drinking to the most suitable point.
It's a little drunk, and there's an undeniable sense of satisfaction, which seems to be quite useful.
Thinking of this, Cao Mu hurriedly pinched himself hard, and ordered himself to stop quickly, not daring to think about it again, although this feeling is a bit cool, but he fantasizes about being an uncle to 'that'
Aren't you tired of life and looking for your own death?
He still doesn't just care about imagining, hurry up and return to the words of the good prince first!
"Sent it, sent it, I'm afraid that the master's side will already use it, his old man will have a night tonight, not only for fasting, but also for the snacks brought by Qing'er, which is more hearty than ours."
"Huh?" Cui Wanqing, who was separated by a screen, blurted out, "Third uncle, you didn't let the hot snacks in the kitchen, did you?" ”
There is meat in it, which is specially dedicated to honoring Master Ran.
In the past, in the Dacheng Temple, the status of the master was transcendent. The place where he lived was a separate courtyard, and no outsider could enter except for his closest disciples and guests who were admired by him.
As long as the people around him don't see it and have a tacit understanding to keep silent, then no one will know that this small flaw will not be used as a sharp weapon to attack the master.
But this is not the capital, let alone Dachengtian Temple. It is the Hongruo Temple outside the city of Jiangzhou. It's all on other people's territory.
Master Ran also lives here, living in Master Puguang's courtyard, and there are many people coming and going.
If something goes wrong in this, it will really ruin the master's reputation. Fortunately, he threw people to Jiangnan
Cui Wanqing thought about the possible consequences. Not to mention how much regret I have in my heart. Da Jue shouldn't have given the three snack boxes to the third uncle to Master Ran.
Even from the very beginning, one should not only take into account the preferences of the masters. I made those meaty snacks!
Her chagrin is obviously a mess of concern, and the third master of Cao San is also a very famous uncle among the gentlemen in the capital.
And he has been playing chess for a year with Master Ran, and with his shrewd accident, can he still not know this little secret?
There is also Master Puguang, who lived with Master Zhiran for a long time, since the two of them can be old friends, so some bad habits and stinky problems of old friends, can he still not know?
With these two insiders, helping Master Ran to cover up, where can people easily detect it?
Although Cao Mu didn't know that Cui Wanqing was turning so many thoughts in her heart, she couldn't see the expressions of the people inside through the screen.
But with the experience of the old way, I heard the worry in my nephew's daughter's tone.
hurriedly said comfortingly: "No, as soon as my uncle saw the snack box just now, he knew that it was you who honored the master, so he quickly asked Cao Sen to personally send it to the master first." ”
"You bring so much, how can you eat it all at once? He is an old man who likes to eat what you make, so it is naturally appropriate to stay by his side. ”
"Don't worry about this, isn't my uncle a thoughtful person? These treasures will never be handled by others. ”
"Master Ran saw your dim sum box, how happy he was, and specially told Cao Sen to convey a thank you to you!"
Cui Wanqing sighed lightly after hearing this, and while relieved, she felt that she was a little overthinking, and she could be said to be surprised.
It's really embarrassing to doubt her third uncle's ability to do things, but fortunately, she is separated from the outside by a veil, which saves a lot of embarrassment.
She didn't feel that she was prevaricating, "Master Ran, his old man has always cared for me, and he has no hobbies except for eating a small snack." ”
"I'm a junior, and I'm a person who is shallow in learning, and I have to learn like him in everything, and I can only do my best in what he likes."
After Cui Yongzhong heard this, he was very approving and showed a look of relief, his daughter is a person who knows how to return, and he is Lao Tzu, and his face is very bright.
When he stroked his beard, he nodded and said 'yes'.
said to Cui Wanqing, "It's good that you can have the heart to repay the master's kindness, his old man has countless disciples around him, and there are fewer believers waiting to honor him?" ”
"According to my father, I know what Master Ran, in addition to dim sum, what is more important is your sincerity."
"If there is no accident, the master and his old man will continue to place orders in Hongruo Temple, you might as well do what you do in Beijing, on the fifteenth day of the first month, you will be asked to send him snacks."
Under the personal indication of this father, how dare Cui Wanqing treat it slowly?
Quickly stand up, bend your knees, and be as obedient as you are.
I was actually quite surprised in my heart, but I didn't expect that the truth she came up with after personal experience was in her own words.
Isn't that the word 'sincere'?
Cui Wanqing knows her own ability, and the dim sum she made up is only left with new ideas, but if you really compare it, there are still many better than her.
The identity of the master is there, even the empress dowager in the palace will give him good snacks, not to mention other princes and princesses?
Is there a shortage of food for his old man?
Isn't it because he is here in Cui Wanqing and feels the sincerity that other families don't have?
I thought that my father knew so much about Master Ran. Cui Wanqing's heart involuntarily sank again, and Dajue was a little bad.
The actions of the father and daughter, the corners of Qi Xuanhui's eyes twitched for a while, and he couldn't help but slander: "She is your biological daughter, look at how well you have taken her, you have to stand up at every word, and you have to be respectful." ”
"Your style is no worse than the emperor."
He felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and children, but he deliberately forgot about it. If it's really the holy car. The people in this room, except for him who can sit, everyone else can only reply on their knees, where is they eligible to get a seat?
He was depressed. Looking at Cui Yongzhong's time. Inevitably, it's a little longer.
Cui Yongzhong sat on his left-hand side. Soon I felt that someone was watching me, and in a blink of an eye, it was this mysterious good prince. With a strange and somewhat disgusted look, he looked at himself fixedly.
He felt a chill in his heart, and hesitantly asked the word "good", but it rolled on the tip of his tongue, and he was immediately swallowed by the vigilant Cui Yongzhong, "That, Qi Gongzi, but what the old man said just now, what's wrong?" ”
Qi Xuanhui was awakened by his question, and secretly blamed himself that as long as he was with Cui Wanqing, his vigilance would become a lot.
After muttering a "no", he came up with an excellent excuse, "Just look at Uncle Cui Shi's sideburns and beard, which seem to be rendered, this color is very natural, not like the usual one." ”
"I also have an old mother in my family, because my father passed away, she was too sad, so her sideburns also gave birth to Huafa."
"But her old man is a person who pays attention to appearance, and every few days, she has to let the maids wait to dye it once, and it's really a toss to see."
"So I can't help but pay a little attention to these, I don't know if your method of dyeing your hair is convenient"
"Oh, I see." Cui Yongzhong was relieved after hearing this, and felt that he was afraid that he had seen it wrong just now, and the good prince was for the queen mother, so he was a little more fascinated.
After he recalled carefully, he said to Qi Xuanhui: "This time the old man dyed his hair, it was in Hongruo Temple, and it was a paste brought by a small novice at that time, and it didn't smell so pungent, as if it was mixed with a faint smell of Chinese medicine. ”
"Don't you say it, the old man hasn't paid attention yet, it seems that it has been five or six days of hard work after dyeing last time, and it looks like it's still the same as the new dye, but it's longer than the one in our capital."
Qi Xuanhui just saw Cui Yongzhong in front of him, his beard was black, and he thought of what Cui Changjian had said in front of him that because of the overload in his heart, his hair and beard were white, and he looked at least ten years old.
At that moment, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with this reason as an excuse to cover up his careless act just now, but he didn't expect it to be an unexpected answer.
The look on Qi Xuanhui's face, for a while, was really a bit exciting.
Where does Cui Yongzhong know the twists and turns in his stomach?
It's just that he is fierce, and he has encountered a good object that can honor the Queen Mother, so he is too happy.
He is also a person with a high-ranking old mother, and this kind of feeling of being a child and wanting to make the elders happy is still very understandable.
couldn't help but have a look of understanding on his face, and said in a good voice: "Qi Gongzi doesn't have to be anxious, when I go back in a while, I will ask him to ask, and I will definitely ask Fang Zi for your mother." ”
The reason why Cui Yongzhong dyed his hair and beard black was not because he was young and good-looking, he just didn't want to be rude in front of people, because of his sloppy appearance, generally speaking, as long as it was dyed black, it would be done, as for what to use, he really didn't care too much.
He was in Hongruo Temple, and did not live in the guest room, but was stained with the light of Master Ran, and lived in the Zen monastery of Master Chengguang.
Master Chengguang is strict with himself, and there is not a single mirror in the courtyard of Nuoda, and he really didn't notice that this time it was different from the past.
Listening to Qi Xuanhui's question, he noticed that he realized that his beard was still black, and it looked natural, which was really much better than usual.
Qi Xuanhui smiled and said, 'Trouble'.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was really a good coincidence, thinking that my mother was also a person who loved beauty, and he was a son, if she could send a better recipe than the current hair dye cream, would her old man be unhappy?
Especially such a good recipe was offered by the second master of Cui Er, which undoubtedly added a little bit to Cui Wanqing.
He has always been happy to see things that can add chips to Cui Wanqing, and he nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
looked at the food that was brought up by the monk while talking, and saw that what was on the table was the whole table of 'four four to the end'.
It is four pressed tables and four cold meats, four stir-fried dishes, and four large pieces, a total of 16 main dishes, three soups, plus mushroom gluten, eight-treasure fried sugar vegetables, chestnut chicken, and roasted liver tips.
The table full of chickens, ducks, fish, and meat, all of them are color, fragrant, and shaped, and people are salivating and appetizing.
But Qi Xuanhui and others, who are used to vegetarian food, all know in their hearts that these fresh meat dishes are all cooked from vegetarian food, and they are just similar in shape.
But it looks exactly the same as the real thing, and this kind of skill really makes people can't help but admire these monks, who are superb in craftsmanship and rich in imagination.
Cao Mu, as the host, was very enthusiastic to act as a temporary commentator, pointing out all kinds of dishes, and what he said was very exciting.
Among them, there is a "peculiar smell rolled fruit", which is obviously a feature of the south, and it has received Cao Mu's attention.
He not only told the origin of this dish, but also enthusiastically added a piece to Qi Xuanhui and Cui Yongzhong, and watched these two put the dish into their mouths with expectant eyes.
After tasting it, Qi Xuanhui nodded to Cao Mu and signaled that the taste of this dish was really good.
He tasted the peculiar smell of the rolled fruit in his mouth, and felt that if it was accurately classified, it should be classified as a dim sum.
Because the fruit is made of pulp, jujube paste, yam, honey, sugar, osmanthus, these materials, the outside is rolled with oil skin and steamed, and then stained with honey.
On the top of the loaded plate, a lot of green and red silk and gold cake strips are added, and they are evenly sprinkled with fine white sugar, which is colorful and extremely beautiful.
This kind of dessert should be the most popular with female guests, and Qi Xuanhui, the master who likes to eat dim sum, also thinks it is very good and has some novelty.
However, this look involuntarily glanced behind the gauze screen, secretly thinking about how many dishes on this table would be Cui Wanqing's favorite?
Cui Wanqing likes salty and sweet, as if she is with the sweet taste in the south, Qi Xuanhui moved his chopsticks while thinking in his heart, "Except for the cook next to Qing'er, do you want to get a skilled master from Hongruo Temple to return to Beijing?" ”
"This dish is made, although it is not much better than that of Dacheng Temple, it is considered to be a moment of brightness, but Qing'er's favorite taste is very different from the taste of the capital, in comparison, she must still be the majority of Hongruo Temple."
This meal was organized by Cao Mu, and the extremely sumptuous reception vegetarian meal was used up in a warm and harmonious situation.
Several people in the house are very satisfied with this meal, and it is indispensable to praise a few words and express their feelings after the meal. (To be continued......)
