Chapter Twenty-Three: The Old Lady

The crisp sound of pots and pans colliding together, as well as Duan Tangtang's painful wail, others couldn't help but be frightened when they heard it.

Last time, when the princess was cooking, she suddenly caught fire, and almost burned the entire imperial dining room, but fortunately she found it early, and this time they were all vigilant, as long as it caught fire, they quickly went in with a basin of water to extinguish the fire.

After a long time, Duan Tangtang wanted to cry without tears at the finished product, it was really difficult to cook! In the two lifetimes combined, she has cooked only a handful of times, she can order takeout in modern times, and there are people who cook in ancient times, so she is almost a novice in this regard.

I tried to make a cake before, and I succeeded, but it was completely a blind cat and a dead mouse.

This should ...... I can eat it.

Duan Tangtang swallowed her saliva, and tasted every dish with courage, she was ready for food poisoning, but found that the taste was unexpectedly good.

The lotus leaf cake is a little burnt and doesn't look good, but it can still be eaten.

The braised pork belly looks okay, but the taste is lighter.

The lion's head is the only dish that looks like it has a lot of flavor and taste, and it can also taste good.

"Hmmm! I didn't expect me to be quite talented in cooking. Duan Tangtang was complacent and nodded with satisfaction.

By the way, there's one more dish.

Duan Tangtang took out the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and soil, it should have been ready, she carefully peeled off the lotus leaves and soil, and the crispy aroma of chicken wafted out, making people salivate.

Because it's a whole chicken that's not easy to try, she simply doesn't try it, and the flower chicken looks perfect, so be it!

If she was just confident just now, now she is completely inflated.

Duan Tangtang put these prepared dishes into the multi-layer food box prepared in advance.

"Ouch, it's pretty heavy." Duan Tangtang picked up the food box, but he was not ready, and fell straight down.

After tossing and turning in the imperial dining room for an afternoon, it was already evening, Duan Tangtang sat in the carriage, supported his chin with one hand, and looked out through the screen window.

The sun was setting red, a few children were laughing and playing on the roadside, the vendors had already packed up their stalls and were ready to go home, and the families had already lit lanterns on the eaves outside their doors, waiting for the night to come.

The years are quiet, the present world is stable, and that's it.

Duan Tangtang looked at this beautiful picture with fascination.

Suddenly, as if she had seen something, she lifted the curtain and said to the driver, "Stop." ”

The driver stopped the car, Duan Tangtang got out of the car and went to the steamed bun shop next to it, which was about to close, and bought the rest of the steamed buns.

Then he walked to the beggars dressed in tatters on the side of the road and gave them the buns one by one.

"Thank you, thank you for this kind girl."

The beggars kowtowed to her in thanks.

Duan Tangtang felt bitter in his heart, it was very unpleasant, he was just a gesture, but it was a great blessing to them.

She touched her body, took out a purse, and gave each of them a broken silver, which should be enough for them to live for a while.

Duan Tangtang returned to the carriage and sighed deeply, no matter what era, even if the world is peaceful and war-free, there are still poor families who can't even eat.

I came to the General's Mansion with a heavy heart, and it was already dark at this time.

She can't change the status quo if she thinks so much now, so let's make plans for the future.

Duan Tangtang cleaned up his mood, carried the food box, and knocked on the door of the General's Mansion.

After a while, someone opened the door and saw that it was her, and said in a little surprise: "Princess, why are you here alone at such a late hour?" ”

Duan Tangtang said: "Uncle Nie." ”

Uncle Nie is the housekeeper in the mansion, she is kind and amiable, she often came to the General's Mansion to play when she was a child, Uncle Nie can be said to have watched her grow up playing with Wu Yu, Duan Tangtang respects him very much.

Steward Nie hurriedly stood on the side, gave up his position, and said to her, "It's cold outside, come in." ”

It's autumn, and it's a little cold.

Duan Tangtang tightened the cloak on his body and entered the general's mansion.

"Grandmother, Tang'er has come to see you." Duan Tangtang followed Steward Nie to the inner mansion and found that the Wu family was already eating, but he didn't see Wu Yu, "Old General Wu, Mrs. Wu." ”

Old General Wu was as surprised as Fang Cai's butler: "Princess, why are you here?" ”

Mrs. Wu saw the food box in Duan Tangtang's hand, and said, "I haven't brought someone to wait yet, I am carrying things myself, Liu'er, come and help the princess carry it." ”

"Oops, my granddaughter is here." The old lady is old, her eyes are not very good, she can't see things clearly, but her ears are good, and she was very happy when she heard Duan Tangtang's voice, and got up from the chair.

Mrs. Wu also stood up and helped the old lady.

Duan Tangtang gave the food box to Liu Er and went to the old lady's side.

The old lady trembled and picked up her hand, "You've lost weight, Tang'er needs to eat more." ”

Duan Tangtang said: "No, the second brother said a few days ago that Tang'er has gained a lot of weight, and it doesn't look good if he's fat." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the girl's family just wants to eat more fat, it's blessed." The old lady pulled her to sit down, and instructed the maid beside her: "Add another pair of dishes and chopsticks to Tang'er." ”

Since a few years ago, the old lady has not been able to remember people and things clearly, and the modern saying is that Alzheimer's disease.

Before she got sick, the old lady liked Duan Tangtang very much and treated her like her own granddaughter, but when she got sick, she really treated her as her granddaughter.

Duan Tangtang also likes the old lady very much, so she simply cooperates and becomes her granddaughter.
