Chapter 231: Let's Have Some Incense Sticks, Too

For the visit of the three Lin Zhu sisters, Young Master Jin Zhen was quite surprised.

He didn't expect Lin Zhu to bring Lin Yunlin Duo to him for New Year's greetings and bring gifts. Of course, it was just a few oil cakes, some cold vegetables, and pretzel mushrooms made by Lin Zhu himselfβ€”although only a little. He got up a little hastily and said, "Zhu'er, you, you will come when you come, and you will bring something." Come on in. ”

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year again, and on this day many years ago, my father, queen and mother would wake him up early and take him to the top for a stick of incense. In order to bless the new year with all the best,

But now he can only give them the first stick of incense, and may their spirits in heaven be comforted.

Lin Zhu entered the house, handed over the things in his hand to Jiu'er, and said, "Young Master Jin, we brought some home-cooked food, which are all made by the slave maid herself, and it is not a respect." Young Master Jin has taken great care of the slave and maid family in recent years, and the slave and maid are very grateful. ”

Lin Zhu'er was wearing a butterfly embroidered shirt and a blue cotton dress given by Young Master Jin Zhen. There are two buns on the top of his head, and jade hairpins are inserted. Qingli is elegant and gentle, and it seems that there is less baby fat overnight.

Young Master Jin Zhen quickly glanced at the tablet incense on the table, and said: "Zhu'er, we Jinyuan are particular, we have to inject incense on the first day of the new year, and ask the ancestors to bless everything well this year." You are the first guest to come, so let's light a stick of incense and make it auspicious. ”

Didn't you say that you asked for the blessing of your ancestors? Young Master Jin Zhen is incense to his ancestors, and it is a little inappropriate for her to incense, right?

But Young Master Jin Zhen is a scholar, so he should know more than her. He thought she could put incense on the pillar. It should work. Maybe there is such a rule in Jinyuan, the first guest to visit on the morning of the first day of the new year has to offer incense.

She knew the rules very well and washed her hands in the basin brought by Jiu'er, lit a stick of incense very reverently, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed in a proper manner.

Young Master Jin Zhen only felt tears rolling in his eyes, this year, his father, queen and mother can really be relieved in the spirit of the sky.

There is a pair of children who are comforting.

Lin Yun Lin Duo never knew that there was such a special thing, thinking that after the forest was fragrant, it would be their turn. I also want to wash my hands and put incense on the pillar. found that Jiu'er had already walked out with a washbasin.

After the incense was finished, Young Master Jin Zhen invited them to the next room.

Lin Duo didn't think much about it and followed, Lin Yun frowned, this Jin Zhen young master also treated Lin Zhu differently. She was very surprised to see the way he looked at Lin Zhu. She gritted her teeth and stared at Lin Zhu's back, scolding in her heart: This damn money-loser is really a vixen.

But then a smile appeared on his face. In a few days, this money-losing goods will go to the remote mountains to be a fool's daughter-in-law. That's when her chance came. This is a secret that grandma, mother, father, and third uncle have planned for several years. It's because of this secret that she and Lin Duo know. That's why she's so low-voiced.

The next room is as elaborate as Young Master Jin Zhen's bedroom. Fragrant sandalwood tables and chairs, beautifully carved screens, and pots of verdant bamboos are placed at both ends of the screen.

Young Master Jin Zhen invited the three women to take a seat, and Jiu'er served tea. Quietly stood behind Young Master Jin Zhen.

Young Master Jin Zhen said, "Zhu'er." It's rare for you three sisters to come to pay New Year's greetings to Xiaosheng. I should be hospitable. It's just that Jiu'er can't be busy alone. Yourself go to the kitchen to help. ”

Usually, half of the meals for several people are bought and half cooked. Although Jiu'er is capable, her cooking skills are not very good. Mei Jiugong is very good at cooking and cooking, but it is not easy to come forward now.

I was going to come here for a full meal. In fact, there are also meat and vegetables at home. But Lin Zhu didn't dare to take it out. According to the immutable law, after a while, Lin Zhang will take the second aunt and aunt of Noble Daxian to sweep the vegetable garden together.

This year has just begun, and food cannot be swept away.

Busy said: "This is natural, this is natural." Today, Chef Ben personally took charge of the spoon and showed his hand to Young Master Jin. ”

If you want to eat other people's food, you have to do it yourself.

After that, I got up and went to the kitchen. Lin Yun hurriedly got up and said, "Zhu'er, I'll go too." The first dumpling is the first two sides, and I want to eat dumplings today. ”

She was hungry like a cat scratching at this moment, and she didn't forget to show it in front of Young Master Jin Zhen. As soon as the words were spoken, she regretted it. The white noodles that the family eats all year round can be counted on their fingers. She can only roll a long noodle, and she still learns it with yellow noodles.

Making dumplings, she had only heard of it, had done it there.

Yes, there is a rule. Lin Zhu hurriedly said, "Yes, I want to eat dumplings today." Dumplings need a lot of people, let's go second sister. ”

I don't dare to boast about cooking and cooking, and she is absolutely good at making dumplings.

Lin Yunlinduo, who was also nervous, came to the kitchen, and there were two braziers on the big ground, the charcoal fire was very strong, and it was warm inside.

Lin Shu rolled up his sleeves and tied an apron. Looking down, there was half a fan of pork under the board. 、

She turned her head and asked Lin Yun, "Eldest sister." Do you want to eat fat or skinny?"

Lin Yun is about to go crazy when he wants to eat meat, and when it comes to eating meat, he is naturally fat to satisfy his cravings.

She quickly glanced at Li Zhushan Mei Jiugong, who was wandering outside the kitchen, and whispered, "Fat is delicious." β€œ

"Then let's use the ribs." Lin Zhu found the rib meat, picked up the kitchen knife and cut it. The kitchen knife was sharpened and cut into a piece in one go.

When she came to mix rice today, she also brought Lin Yunlin Duo, but she was actually a little careful. That is, he wanted to borrow the things of Young Master Jin Zhen's family to bribe Lin Yunlin Duo, so that they could eat soft-mouthed and help themselves grow vegetables after the New Year.

Lin Yun said that if you want to eat fat, let's make the dumpling filling fat, anyway, Young Master Jin Zhen has the conditions to eat meat every day, and he won't care about fat and thin. And she felt that no matter what she did, Young Master Jin Zhen would not say anything.

She lifted a large piece of meat from the cut and looked at it, and the meat was very good. The skin of the meat is very thin. In addition to the skin of the meat, a layer of fat and a layer of lean meat are very even.

If this piece of meat is not chopped with dumpling filling, it is also excellent for making braised pork.

She handed the meat in her hand to Lin Yun and said, "Eldest sister, this piece of meat will be handed over to you." You peel off the skin and then chop the meat, the more chopped it is, the better. Second sister, you peel a few green onions. A few cloves of garlic. Wash some ginger ......"

Jiu'er followed behind and didn't know what she was going to do. Hurriedly asked, "Zhu'er, what am I going to do?" ”

"You sir fire, and then noodles. The dough should be and a little softer, with salt water. ”

Lin Zhu settled all this, and bent down to find a few radishes and a Chinese cabbage.

Wash and chop the radishes, chop the Chinese cabbage as well, and pinch the water dry. Wait until the meat is chopped. Mix the radish and cabbage separately, and add the green onion and ginger. Seasoning. I made a large meat radish filling. Big meat cabbage stuffing.

The stuffing is ready. Pour with hot oil.

Outside the kitchen window, Mei Jiugong and Li Zhushan watched Lin Zhu work in the kitchen from a distance, Mei Jiugong lowered his voice and sighed and said, "It's hard to be the little county lord." β€œ

Li Zhushan looked at it intently. In the past, when the princess was alive. Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will personally cook dumplings for the next person to eat.

At that time, she would always bring him a bowl of dumplings first.

He couldn't help but say, "Father." The little princess is really like a princess. β€œ

Mei Jiugong glared at him fiercely and said, "Shanzi, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

The two of them did not finish talking. There was a heavy knock on the door, and then Shumo's voice came: "Young Master Jin, is Young Master Jin at home?" ”、

Lin Zhu had just mixed the meat filling and was mixing the juice. When I heard the voice, I was shocked.

Shumo is here, and Jin Xiaoguang may be here too. Remembering the scene last night, my heart beat a little faster.

She pretended to be indifferent and continued to be busy, but her eyes looked out for a moment.

Li Zhushan strode forward to open the door, and stood aside with a very heavy greeting. Jin Xiaoguang really came.

Brocade clothes, majestic instruments, there is a kind of king momentum that cannot be concealed. The powerful aura made Lin Zhu feel a little difficult to breathe.

With such a domineering appearance, it is no wonder that the emperor and the crown prince are suspicious. He entered the courtyard, first hugged his fists and saluted Young Master Jin Zhen, his eyes quickly swept to her, and only she could understand the corners of his mouth pulled slightly. Entered the house with Young Master Jin Zhen.

A combination of beautiful men and handsome guys, absolutely invincible in the super universe.

Jin Xiaoguang is cold and domineering, and his eyes are sharp, which makes people daunting. Young Master Jin Zhen is enchanting and charming, and his eyes are gentle and affectionate, which makes people feel warm. These two men, one cold and one hot, one cold and one warm, really brighten the eyes of blind people.

She prepared the sauce and said to Lin Duo, "Second sister, you have cleaned up the board." ”

After talking for a long time, I didn't see Lin Duo do anything. Looking at it, Lin Duo and Lin Yun's sisters had two pairs of straight eyes, one staring at Young Master Jin Zhen. One stared at the dignified Shumo standing in the courtyard.

Jiu'er, who had already reconciled, covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

It's really two nymphomaniacs, Lin Zhu feels a little ashamed.

Hurriedly poked Lin Yun with his hand and said, "Eldest sister, help cut some shredded potatoes." ”

Jin Xiaoguang Shumo is here, he must drink wine in a while, and help make two appetizers.

Lin Yun came back to his senses at this time, his face turned red, and he hurriedly asked, "Zhu'er, what else do you have to do?" ”

"Eldest sister, I see that there is boiled beef in that basin, ears and stomach, you can help cut a few plates. Slice the beef, cut the ears into strips, and shred the belly. The second sister peeled a few more heads of garlic. ”

Since I came, I helped make a few dishes. It's worth this meal.

The four women were busy in the kitchen, and Jiu'er kept shuttling between the kitchen rooms, serving tea and pouring water.

Li Zhushan went to the backyard to fetch water, and Mei Jiugong walked around the yard alone. He was very excited at the moment.

He was a little emotional, and said that flesh and blood are connected, which is not false at all.

Although the young master and Lin Zhu's two siblings did not recognize each other, they had such a tacit understanding. Especially the little county lord, who is busy in the kitchen, is completely like a hostess.

Moreover, the little princess has completely inherited the wisdom and virtue of the princess, and he grew up in such a poor family, and he is also beautiful, even in the kitchen, it is difficult to hide everyone's beautiful state.

I heard Lin Zhu say to him at the kitchen window: "Mabel, it's cold, come into the house to warm up." ”

The little princess is as kind-hearted as the princess.

His heart was hot, and he bowed his head and said, "The old slave is not cold. ”

The wind blew all night last night, and now it's cold and dry, and there are two braziers in the kitchen that are freezing their feet, how can they not be cold. Maeber must have been waiting to bring firewood to the stove.

Lin Zhu said: "Mei Bo, where can the wind blow all night last night not be cold. Come on in. There is still a lot of firewood in the stove, and it is estimated that it is enough today. ”

On such a cold day, it is very inhumane to let an old man outside. Even if it's just an old janitor.

Mei Jiugong hesitated for a moment. To be honest, it's really cold outside. At this time, even if his martial arts are at the top, it will not be useful, and he can only endure it. Jin Xiaoguang's calligraphy and ink did not dare to divulge at all. But he was protecting the young master in the yard.

Jin Xiaoguang is a dangerous person, he is no more worry-free than Yan. He had doubts about the young master in his heart, maybe he came today for a purpose.

Seeing his hesitation, Lin Zhu thought that he didn't dare to leave his post without permission because he was shouldering the task of guarding the door and delivering firewood. I couldn't bear it. Mei Jiugong now looks over the age of six, with gray hair, a hunched waist, and a very old age.

She put down what she was doing and walked out. He took him by the arm and said, "Mabel, it's too cold outside." You can come in the kitchen and sit in the doorway. ”

After saying that, he dragged him into the kitchen, took out the small stool in the stove, and put it at the door to pull him down. And he brought a pot of fire and put it at his feet.

Mei Jiugong's heart was warm, he no longer insisted, and sat silently on the small stool, baking the fire, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the guest room door.

After the dough woke up, Lin Zhu quickly kneaded the dough into long strips, cut it into small pieces, and began to roll out the dumpling skin.

She is the best at rolling dumpling skins, and in her previous life, she could pack seven or eight people alone.

Although I haven't shown this stunt for a long time, I just got familiar with it for a while, and I became familiar with it.

It surprised Lin Yunlin Duo a lot.

The food of the second uncle and the second aunt was all plundered by the grandmother and returned home. They see what they eat in the vegetable garden every day. Although it may be a little better than their home, most of them are coarse tea and light rice, and miscellaneous grains are the majority. Usually, don't talk about eating dumplings, it's not easy to eat white noodles

She learned this hand very well.

Lin Yun stupidly watched Lin Zhu quickly turn his rolling stick, and casually threw a bunch of round dumpling skins with a thick point in the middle and a thin point on the side. The old man asked: "Zhu'er, you, how can you roll dumpling skins?" ”

Lin Duo also blinked and looked at her, wondering the answer.

It's over, it's over, and I can forget to cover it up for a while.

She turned her mind and said, "I learned from Chef Zhu in the back kitchen of the house, and there is an aunt in the house who loves to eat dumplings." ”

That's all there is to say at this time.

Lin Yunlin Duo actually believed it. Lin Yun said: "When will we make our own dumplings to eat." Zhu'er has such a good craft, let me learn from Duo'er. ”

Dumplings are a delicacy that only wealthy families can afford, and ordinary people only have walnuts when they are ripe, and then it is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

If Young Master Jin Zhen will take a fancy to her in the future, even if she enters a rich family, she has to learn to make dumplings.

Before Lin Zhu could reply, the door was knocked again, and the knock was very rapid, which made people's hearts beat.

Could it be Yan Wuwu coming? Lin Shu panicked.

She is Yan Wuwu's maid, what would Gongzi think if he saw her here and Jin Xiaoguang was also there? (To be continued......)
