Chapter Ninety-Three: Waste
The shopkeeper's movements were very fast, and two bowls of wontons were placed on the table, and Ke Mingxu's bowl was indeed more than Jinghu's.
Although she only had one bowl, there were still more wontons in the bowl than she thought. Although she eats slightly more than other little ladies, she can't eat the weight of an adult man.
Ke Mingxu saw that she was looking at the wonton, so he smiled and said, "Little county lord, look at it, is this bowl enough?" If it's not enough, my bowl hasn't been touched yet, so you can use it first. ”
Jinghu waved his hand, "No need, I was also joking with Master Xiao Ke just now, this bowl is enough." ”
Ke Mingxu seemed to be a little disbelieving, "Actually, it's not only the best wonton here, but also a kind of small baked cake, crispy and crispy, the taste is very good, don't you want to taste it in the small county?" ”
"Since it's a delicacy, there's no reason not to taste it. I want to eat. ”
Ke Mingxu smiled gently, stood up and went to talk to the shopkeeper. The freshly made wonton was steaming, and she sat across from him, suddenly feeling that the clouds were deep and nowhere to go.
The fragrance also seduced Jinghu's glutton, she was embarrassed to continue to stare at Ke Mingxu, and just like him, she buried her head and began to taste this wonton.
Ke Mingxu is also the son of a family after all, and there are many children who have been eunuchs in the family for generations in Songshi Academy, and they all think it is good, which makes it crowdy here on weekdays, so the taste is naturally very good.
Although Jinghu is picky on weekdays, she really likes Jiangnan cuisine and Jiangnan snacks. I haven't eaten it for a long time, so it's naturally very interesting.
What's more, the street stalls that her second cousin Xu Yu took her to at that time were not as good as half of the ones here.
It is rare to see that the store is attentive, saying that it is three fresh, and it is not only shrimp, herring meat and pork hind leg meat. It should also be mixed with a little shepherd's cabbage.
She only ate it a few times, and she never forgot this kind of wild vegetable that Jiangnan people love to eat. originally thought that she could stay in Jiangnan for a year, and when she waited for spring, she planned to let her second cousin take her to the wild to find it.
"This is not an ordinary three fresh, but the little county lord is still used to eating? It is also mixed with a vegetable called camelina cabbage. It is planted in the store's own vegetable garden, and it can't be eaten several times a year. ”
Jinghu swallowed the wonton in his mouth before he spoke, "How does Lord Xiao Ke know that I like to eat?" I used to taste it at my grandmother's house in Jiangnan, and it was even more rare in Yanjing. ”
Ke Mingxu said gently: "I also ate when I followed my mother to my grandfather's house in the past, it was spring, and my cousin at home loved to eat, so there was often a meal on the dinner table." ”
The two Yanjing people both remember the taste of Jiangnan. If there was no such cousin's matter involved, then Jinghu would be even happier.
While they were eating, they chatted occasionally, and the store soon brought over the baked cakes. But there was only one.
Jinghu asked him, "Doesn't Master Xiao Ke eat it?" Wonton eats all of these, just a baked cake, you don't have to save money for me. ”
Ke Mingxu pushed the plate of baked cakes in front of Jinghu, "Although the taste of this baked cake is good, I don't like to eat it." It's enough to use these wontons, so let's try it out and don't waste it. ”
When he said this, Jinghu was not polite. If this store can open a store in earnest, let more people know, business should be very good.
Jiangnan is rich, there are many businessmen, and there are also many scholars. There are many Jiangnan people who are confined to Yanjing, and having such a store can also relieve homesickness.
The baked pancake was golden brown, indeed very crispy, and the filling inside tasted very good, and it didn't take long for Jinghu to finish the whole pancake.
Ke Mingxu had already run out of wontons, and seeing that she was happy to eat, he said: "The little county lord seems to like this baked cake quite much, but it is the same as Yuan Fang." ”
"We used to have breakfast together, and in addition to a bowl of wonton, he could also use two baked cakes. It's like this every day, and you won't get bored. ”
I didn't expect Qi Yuanfang to be like this. However, she was not interested in him, she still wanted to know Ke Mingxu more.
"What about Master Ke? I usually come here with two bowls of wonton? ”
Ke Mingxu smiled, "I'm familiar with the shopkeeper, and he knows how much I can eat, not by the bowl." Too much is waste, as long as it is enough, it is the best. ”
Fang Jinghu had seen his bowl, and it seemed that it was slightly less than the number of two bowls.
Jinghu nodded, "That's what Lord Xiao Ke said. "My grandfather also taught me that when I was in Jiangnan, if my cousin and cousin dared to waste food at will, they would have to go to the house.
But she soon faced a dilemma. If she wants to finish this bowl of wontons, it was still about the same, but just now she used another baked cake, and at this time, the remaining four wontons floated in the soup sprinkled with green onions, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
I said that food should not be wasted.
Ke Mingxu also seemed to see her embarrassment, and said empathetically: "If it's really enough, don't eat it anymore, force yourself, it's not good for your health." ”
But Jinghu didn't really want to do this, although the food she ate was exchanged for money, there were countless people who worked hard for it.
She hadn't thought about this before, but her grandfather's mind changed her when she was in Jiangnan, and now in front of him, she didn't want to do things that she didn't feel good about.
Jinghu opened his mouth a little embarrassed, "Xiao Ke's affairs are not in a hurry, if not, can you sit and chat with me for a while, I still want to finish eating." It's rare to come here, and I don't know when the next time will be. ”
Ke Mingxu looked at the sky, it was still early, and said: "The little county lord just eats slowly, and the teacher should also be eating at this time." I'm going to sort out some books with him in the afternoon, but I'm not in a hurry right now. ”
"Hmm." Jinghu smiled, revealing two pear vortices. She wanted to chat with him, and the question she wanted to ask the most was what Fang had just done in Shantang.
Since you want to know, the best thing to do is to ask directly.
"I just met Huaiyi Township Jun in Shantang, Xiao Ke once said that Shantang is getting better every year, which is the credit of Huaiyi Township, why is this?"
Ke Mingxu looked as usual and explained for her, "After Pei Niang was named the township king, she sent all the money she received from the imperial court to the Shantang every year to support the children there. ”
"In the past, the good hall was not what it is now, the materials were insufficient, and the people's hearts were unpredictable. Not only did she donate money and materials, but she also did a lot for the children of the Church of Kindness. At this point, I actually admire her very much. ”
I see. Xu Peirou was named the township king, it should be the year she held the spring banquet, and it was the fourteenth year of Zhaoyong. When did he start saying that he would go to Shantang from time to time?
