Chapter 404: Soup
After what happened, the sisters didn't have the heart to watch the play, and they all lowered their heads and spoke, but they were afraid of Aunt Jia Xue and others above, and they spoke very quietly.
As he spoke, everyone inevitably talked about Jia Qing's loss of office.
Yingchun, cherishing spring, Daiyu, Xiangyun, etc., are either not clear about these things, or they don't care, only Tanchun and Baochai couldn't help but ask Emperor Jia Qing why he was dismissed.
Jia Qing had to explain vaguely. For a while, Baochai asked again: "Listen to my second uncle, you have done a big thing in Jiangnan this time, and you have leveled the White Lotus Sect, is it true?" ”
The sisters listened attentively. Even Daiyu, although she had heard about it, was not very clear, and she pointed her ears to listen at this time.
What about bandits......
It's exciting to listen to every time!
Jia Qing naturally couldn't forget to show himself at this time, so he actually added fuel and vinegar, half-truths and half-truths, hid all the plots that made people unbearable to listen to, and told a story that could be sung and cried and rejuvenated from a purely chivalrous perspective......
After listening to Jia Qing's boasting, Xue Baochai smiled, just at this time it was another drama singing, Xue Baochai turned his head to Ying'er on the side and said, "It's almost time, pass the soup up." ”
Ying'er obeyed the order and left.
Jia Qing's eyes were sharp, and he happened to see it, and immediately said with a smile: "Sister Bao, what kind of good thing do you have to wait until this time to get on?" ”
Indeed, because I have to watch a play, the dishes on the table are not particularly full, but everything is very delicate and the ingredients are very good.
Xue Baochai smiled: "It's not special, it's just a soup, it wasn't cooked before, so it wasn't served." ”
Not long after, sure enough, two maids walked in with two casseroles for making soup on trays, and placed one of them on Jia Mu's table, and the other pot on Jia Qing's table.
Shi Xiangyun was the most delicious, and without waiting for the maid to put it away, he stood up and wanted to remove the lid of the casserole.
"Watch out for the burn!" Xue Baochai hurriedly reminded, then took a small square handkerchief from the maid's hand, covered it on the casserole handle, and uncovered it.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Shi Xiangyun really has a sharper pursuit of food than others, not only was he the first to praise him, but then he picked up his bowl and said to Baochai: "Sister Bao, give me a bowl to taste!" ”
Xue Baochai smiled and filled her a bowl.
Jia Qing also saw it clearly, it turned out to be a bamboo shoot soup, with all kinds of condiments in it, and there was also meat, but Jia Qing couldn't see what kind of meat it was. It's just that the soup is yellow, orange, orange, and oily, and it is constantly fragrant to the outside.
Xiangyun took it, couldn't wait to scoop it up with a spoon, so he didn't care about the heat, blew it twice, and then sent it to his mouth to taste. After only tasting one bite, everyone saw that Xiangyun's eyebrows were very vividly raised, and then they poured the hot in the spoon into their mouths at once.
"It's so fresh, it's delicious!"
After receiving such good feedback from Xiangyun, everyone was ready to taste the soup for themselves, regardless of whether they wanted to drink the soup before, and handed over the bowl one after another. Baochai smiled, didn't let the maid move, and served soup to everyone half by himself......
At this time, Jia Mu above had already tasted it, nodded, praised it, and then turned her head to Jia Qing and the others below: "This soup is good, you all taste it." ”
Then I saw that Jia Qing and they were all doing it, and I couldn't help but be happy, and asked with a smile: "What kind of soup is this?" ”
After Xue Baochai filled half a bowl in the bowls of Jia Qing and several people, he turned back to Jia's mother and said, "Back to the old lady, this soup is called fresh bamboo shoots and pigeon soup." ”
Jia Mu said clearly: "It turns out that these two things are so fresh." The bamboo shoots in this season are originally fresh and tender, and when paired with pigeon meat, the taste is really good. ”
"Second brother, you leave me a little!"
The casserole was not big, one bowl per person was almost enough, originally Xiangyun had already added it by himself, and when he saw that Jia Qing directly hugged the pot in front of him after drinking it, and poured it directly into his bowl, Shi Xiangyun immediately stopped.
Mother Jia above saw Shi Xiangyun leave her seat directly to pull Jia Qing, and couldn't help laughing: "You two don't fight, your aunt won't leave, you want to drink, come over often in the future, why bother being so childish, let your aunt and Sister Bao laugh." ”
Jia Qing finally left some for Xiangyun, handed over the pot to her, took a sip of the hot in the bowl, and while sandwiching a piece of meat with a chopstick, he replied to Jia's mother: "Ancestor, this soup made by my aunt's family is indeed too delicious......
Before he finished speaking, he was busy eating meat.
When Aunt Xue saw Jia Qing like this, the smile on her face was definitely 99.99% "innocent", not mixed with a little reluctance.
But after listening to Jia Qing chewing, he said: "Ancestor, I want my aunt to lend me the master who makes the soup for a few days, but I'm afraid that my aunt won't be happy, or will you help me out?" ”
Aunt Xue's smile suddenly seemed to be stuck.
Mother Jia naturally didn't think that Aunt Xue was reluctant to be a cook. looked at Xue Baochai's sluggish smile below, and he already had a realization in his heart, but he didn't break it, but said: "I won't help you with this favor, you are greedy, so you will find your aunt to beg for someone by yourself." ”
Jia Qing naturally didn't think too much, so he said: "Auntie, don't be reluctant, I'll just borrow it from you for a few days, and after a few days, I promise to send the person back to you intact, do you think this is good?" ”
Aunt Xue smiled awkwardly, then automatically ignored Jia Qing's words, and said "very naturally": "My son, if you like to drink, this was originally a ...... specially prepared for you by your sister Bao"
The sisters were silent for a moment, and then suddenly they all started laughing. Shi Xiangyun looked at Xue Baochai's rare uncomfortable demeanor, and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, the second brother wants you to go to his house to make soup for him." ”
Fortunately, it was Shi Xiangyun, who came to play with Baochai, and Baochai also knew her temperament and was a childlike person, so she didn't think about it, but smiled: "I think you drank the most, and you can't stop your mouth?" ”
Then he glanced at Jia Qing, turned around and sat down.
Jia Qing was also caught off guard by this situation, and he could only bow his head and continue to eat meat......
Among the sisters, Jia Baoyu also smiled very happily. It's just that he has a better character than Jia Qing, and he generally doesn't do anything that falls into the ground, after seeing Jia Qing bow his head "ashamed", he didn't squeeze Jia Qing anymore, just grabbed Xiangyun on the side and whispered.
If Jia Qing knew that Jia Baoyu had unknowingly let him go, I don't know how he would feel. He has always been the master of Jia Baoyu's ability to think of ways to ridicule and attack without making mistakes, and the contrast of character is particularly obvious in this case......
