Chapter 55: Will She Eat Well?
Listening to Gu Yunxi shouting for desserts in the room, Minglan's pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with a cold light of resentment, and swept towards Xiao Nianzi:
"What is the dessert that the girl is talking about?"
Xiao Nianzi smiled writhingly, shook his head and replied:
"It's a fruit."
"Fruit?"
Minglan's eyes immediately widened, and his face was not right:
"It can't be lingering, right?"
Lingering is a kind of hot fruit brought by the envoys when Manraka of the island country of Toho sent an envoy to Dayi.
Its shell is hard and densely spiked, and the flesh is soft and sweet, except for a strange and difficult odor.
One day two years ago, when Emperor Xiao, who had tasted the sweetness, brought half of his lingering to Yongning Palace, the imperial concubine was first furrowed by its smell, but then she feasted and praised it again and again.
Minglan was serving by Niangniang's side at the time, and her body was stained with a lot of lingering smell.
After the value, he soaked in the ear room for two hours before he felt that the smell was completely removed.
Because the imperial concubine liked it, Emperor Xiao ordered someone to try to try to plant in the tropical region of southern Xinjiang.
Today's Dayi, lingering is no longer a rare commodity on the market.
Minglan knew that he would never touch that kind of fruit with a strange taste, could it be that the subordinates in the house were unruly and ate the fruit behind his back?
Xiao Nianzi saw that the overseer was silent, his face became more and more gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He hurriedly bowed his head and continued hesitantly:
"The little one doesn't know the name of the dessert made by Miss Yun. The left is just a ready-made sweet banana dipped in syrup and put it in the ice cellar.
The little one used to make rock sugar gourds, and the method was similar to the dessert made by Miss Yun. β
"Oh? Ganana? β
Minglan's expression was slightly relaxed when he heard this:
"Then go and get her, Ben wants to see the dessert."
Xiao Nianzi responded, bowed down and ran towards the ice cellar.
A moment in the hour the man rushed back, holding up a round disc with twigs in both hands.
At the end of May, at noon, the saucer was taken out of the ice cellar, bathed in the white sunshine, and the edge of the twigs was constantly billowing white smoke in the heat.
The little man stopped in front of the Overseer, handed the saucer to his eyes, bowed his head and whispered:
"Overseer, please take a look."
Minglan lowered his eyes curiously.
In the middle of the smooth dish, there were four peeled bananas, each with a chopstick pierced into the end. The surface of the banana is tightly coated with a hard layer of amber sugar, exuding a sweet smell and a refreshing chill, which looks both playful and appetizing.
The sweet banana is already sweet, covered with sugar shell and then chilled, and eaten after a meal, it is indeed a good enjoyment in early summer.
Minglan's eyes were stunned at the moment, and he only looked at the four crystal clear sugar-coated bananas.
Su Ri is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and now this dessert with simple material and workmanship is extremely delicate and eye-catching, which makes him suddenly feel a little surprised in his heart.
Somewhere in my heart, I seemed to be pestled by an invisible invisible force, and my heart trembled slightly for a while......
Little monster, really ingenious, really pretty, really ......
The atrium was empty, and Minglan looked stunned.
"Father-in-law!"
At this time, Gu Yunxi's beautiful voice overflowed from the room again:
"Did you get the dessert back?"
Minglan came back to his senses and shook his head at Xiao Nianzi and said:
"Let's get in."
Xiao Nianzi didn't dare to pause, raised his feet and walked into the house quickly.
Minglan immediately stood on the side of the open window sash under the porch, and looked through the emerald green window screen, peeking into the movement in the room.
Gu Yunxi sat firmly on Mount Tai at the table, looking at the expression on his face, he should be full of wine and food.
Seeing that Xiao Nianzi brought the dessert that she had in mind, she looked happy, picked up the handkerchief and cleaned her hands.
"Miss Yun, does this dessert have a name?"
Xiao Nianzi endured the smell of onions and garlic all over the house, and asked Gu Yunxi with a smile.
A slave must do everything for his master
I want to be in front.
The overseer has seen this dessert, and if he asks again, he will have something to say.
Gu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, and his subdued tone brought out an obvious look of pride:
"I imitated the production method of rock sugar gourd and created my own dessert 'Ice Sweet Banana'."
After that, Yuzhi pinched the bamboo chopsticks, took a sugar-coated banana and handed it to Xiao Nianzi, and a pair of smiling eyes released a shallow halo:
"It's a lot of trouble for my father-in-law to take care of me today, and you should eat the first one."
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"
As soon as he saw Gu Yunxi turn his head to face him, Xiao Nianzi was so frightened that he shrank his neck, and immediately held his breath.
"Miss Yun, the Overseer just instructed the little one to do something. If you don't tell me, the little one will retire first, and then come back to greet you when you're done. β
In order to get out of the room full of turbidity very early, Xiao Nianzi lied.
Gu Yunxi didn't think much about it, and when he saw that he didn't accept desserts, he waved his hand at him:
"Okay, there you go."
Xiao Nianzi was suddenly overjoyed and ran out happily.
Seeing the overseer under the corridor, Xiao Nianzi silently bowed his head and waited beside him.
At the table in the room, Gu Yunxi leisurely supported his cheeks with one hand, and raised an iced sweet banana with the other, and he didn't bite and eat it one bite at a time, but as if he was playing, he opened his cherry mouth and held the tip of the sweet banana, slowly penetrated into his mouth little by little, and then slowly sucked it.
Then he pulled the chopsticks and pulled the sweet banana out of his mouth.
The moment you swallow it, the icing on the outer layer of the sweet banana melts, and a few drops of sweet sugar fall on your tongue.
Gu Yunxi narrowed his eyes with enjoyment at the moment, his eyes were as bright as waves, and he lowered his gaze slightly and looked somewhere ahead.
But her mouth was not idle, she continued to hold the sweet banana in her mouth, and her fingers turned the bamboo chopsticks to let the sweet banana turn a few times in her mouth.
The sugar liquid on the top was completely gone, she simply stretched out her tongue, licked it a few times on the shiny icing of the sweet banana root, and then opened her mouth to swallow it.
Minglan could see clearly in front of the window.
When Gu Yunxi's cheeks were stretched out of a small round bulge by the ganana head, his back tightened instantly, and the blood in his whole body inexplicably had a strong feeling of burning heat and imminent triggering.
Is she eating sweet bananas?
Can't you eat decently? It has to be like this......
Minglan was in a strange mood, like indignation and excitement, and he wanted to dodge but couldn't help but breathe heavily, and opened his eyes wide and continued to watch into the room.
In my mind, I actually remembered a certain pamphlet at this moment......
If she was not holding a sugar-coated banana in her hand, she would ......
Minglan's heart was beating faster, his mind was a little uncontrollable, and he couldn't help but draw a very evil picture:
The delicate girl was lying on her side at the head of the bed, her hands holding the stick in the brocade box, her cheeks flushed and her eyes hooked at him......
Minglan's eyes straightened, his throat tightened, he swallowed greedily, and dense sweat oozed all over his body.
Xiao Nianzi was beside the Overseer, and suddenly saw his Overseer, and there was a bright red trace under his nose.
"Overseer, you have a nosebleed?"
Xiao Nianzi lowered his voice and prompted in surprise.
Minglan was angry, and raised his hand to wipe his nose very indistinctly.
Raise your feet and sniff and walk, Xiao Nianzi followed all the way.
Suddenly stopped in the courtyard, Minglan unwillingly flicked his wide sleeves, gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, you little monster, deliberately playing tricks on Bendu. If you can hide from the first day of the new year, you can't hide from the fifteenth, sooner or later you will be a member of the Governor! Hmph"
Xiao Nianzi chased after the overseer, and asked as he walked:
"Look at this, Overseer...... How? Miss Fangyun is alone in the house, so you don't need to send someone to keep an eye on it? β
"You go inside and see what else she can make a fuss about!"
"I ......"
Xiao Nianzi's face immediately changed color, like a live fish about to be sent to the chopping board to be slaughtered, with a look of resistance and pain.
"Overseer, the little one will respond when he smells the smell of onion and garlic."
"Then you still let her cook those dishes!"
Minglan glared at Xiao Nianzi fiercely and shouted
"Figure it out for yourself! If you go back in the evening, and if you smell a trace of turbidity in that room, he will wring your head! β
Xiao Nianzi immediately softened on the ground......
After Gu Yunxi ate three iced sweet bananas in a row, he finally felt full.
Lazily getting up, she stretched her waist beautifully under the rays of sunlight that shone into the room.
I've been in the house for too long, and now my nose is numb to the smell of onions and garlic all over the house.
It tastes good!
Even if you take a shower, it is impossible to completely remove the smell from your body within a day or two.
Minglan ran away, Gu Yunxi felt extremely comfortable at this time, and happily lay on the bed.
After eating and drinking, the sweet and fragrant peach blossom wine came up slightly. Gu Yunxi gradually closed his eyes and took a nap with his back to the sky.
I was sleeping in a daze, and there was a commotion in my ears.
Gu Yunxi thought that he was dreaming again, so he opened a thin slit in his eyes.
Then, an extremely ugly face suddenly jumped into her eyes.
As if he had been hit on the head, Gu Yunxi's brain "popped", and his eyes opened in an instant.
In front of the bed stood a girl, not very old, of medium height, with a thin body and a waist as thin as a snake.
She combed an ingots bun on her head, wore a water-green silk cardigan, and wore Hunan yellow pleated crepe pants.
Looking at the appearance on his face, he really saddened others:
The inverted triangle face has a yellowish complexion, thick eyebrows on a broom, mung bean eyes, a circle of pockmarks around the cheeks, and a wide mouth and a collapsed nose.
As soon as she saw Gu Yunxi sit up, the ugly girl grinned, it was even more human than crying, and when she opened her mouth, a pair of turbid yellow teeth were exposed.
"Oh, girl, are you awake?"
She turned on the broken gong voice to greet Gu Yunxi.
"Who are you?"
Gu Yunxi rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked suspiciously.
"The slave maid is a maid in the kitchen who washes vegetables, named Pomegranate, who is assigned by the young father-in-law to serve the girl's daily life.
Now that the girl is awake and bothering you to lift your belly, we must change all the bedding on the bed. β
Saying that, the ugly girl did not follow the etiquette, strode forward, and dragged Gu Yunxi directly from the bed, and seemed not afraid of her stench of onions and garlic.
"Hey! What do you want to do, I haven't put on my shoes yet! β
Gu Yunxi stood barefoot on the ground, his eyes piercing.
As soon as she shook off the pomegranate's big thick hand, she waved her hand to the mothers-in-law behind her, and said coldly:
"Come, let's clean the girl's mouth!"
With an order, several fierce women surrounded Gu Yunxi, dragged her arms and pressed her thighs, and firmly controlled her limbs and pressed them to the ground, making her easily unable to move and unable to splash.
Pomegranate held a roll-beaded cucumber porcelain sea in his hand, and slowly walked in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes with a sinister smile on his face.
"YouβWhat are you going to do? What about Mama Yan and Mama Gui who are serving me? I want them to serve! Go away! β
Gu Yunxi realized that something was wrong, and kept shouting and fighting, and her delicate body struggled hard under the shackles of more than ten big hands.
Pomegranate looked at the girl's delicate features, and the fireworks of jealousy stirred up in her chest.
Mung Bean's eyes suddenly widened, the sharp essence flashed under his eyes, the pomegranate skin smiled without smiling, and said to Gu Yunxi in a hard voice:
"Girl, don't pick and choose. Mama Gui was burned by you with charcoal, and Mama Yan was choked by your bucket of bath water until she fell unconscious.
The girl is so rude, there is no one in the house who wants to come to this room to serve. Now the only people who dare to talk to the girl face to face are us, the rough maids in the kitchen.
We have been talking to fresh food for many years, and we don't have a weight in our hands, and we don't know what it means to be 'pity the fragrance and cherish the jade'.
The slave and maid persuaded the girl to know each other better, otherwise your skin with fine skin and tender flesh will inevitably suffer more! β
