No Return (3)
Su Yuanxuan rarely spoke at home: "Who in Beijing doesn't know that the horse is Princess Yongle's dog, and when she goes, she talks to the princess." Men and women are on guard, and their mothers don't go over by themselves, and they are talking about something here early in the morning. ”
"If something really is different, Princess Yongle's temperament would have sent someone to smash the door directly. How can you complain a few words and finish it? You go and see what happens after you eat. Let this embroidery girl play with her heart. ”
Xue Ling took the lead in dropping the bowl and leaving the table. What she is most convinced of is this mother and son, Mrs. Su can talk ten sentences, and never finish things in nine sentences. Su Yuanxuan can express his attitude with his eyes, and he will never open his mouth to say one more word.
Ignoring the fact that the two of them were still eating, he turned around and went straight to the warehouse to prepare for the salute. Anyway, according to the rules of the Su family, when you go to the kiln, you have to bring a gadget to the old bustard.
Princess Yongle has a noble status, and she is afraid that ordinary objects will not be eye-catching. Xue Ling picked and chosen, and finally chose a box of walnut-sized shark beads, there were seven of them, and Cheng Beidou was arranged in the box, which was very good-looking. In the past two years, she has also loved these gadgets. Although he didn't have it, the Su family's treasury was like dust. Playing every day, but the eye for raising is quite good.
I walked out of the warehouse with the box in my arms, and went to change into the clothes of the little guy. The housekeeper outside the door had already prepared the carriage, and she stepped on it with Su Yuanxing.
Since the disaster two years ago, the Liang country has been in good weather, and Kyoto has become more prosperous than the previous emperor. One year after the death of the first emperor. Princess Yongle got married, and the concubine was the emperor's cousin, and it is said that the two raised their eyebrows and envied others.
Since they were married, it was inconvenient to live in the palace, so the princess set up a mansion and welcomed the princess out. There was suddenly such a noble person in Beijing, and naturally the threshold of the mansion was broken.
Mrs. Su soon became a guest of Princess Yongle. The age difference between the two is a bit big, but they are confidants. Xue Ling often saw Su Yin moving things to the princess, and if Mrs. Su didn't go today, she also felt strange, but she didn't ask Su Yuanyun in general.
After looking all the way, they arrived at the ground, Xue Ling stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the porter heard that it was from the Su family, so he went to spread the word.
After a while, I thought that it was the princess's personal maid who greeted her, and she was unforgiving after a few steps away: "Yo, this is Young Master Su here, and the princess was so angry yesterday." The expensive food in our house is all supplied by your Su Mansion, if it weren't for the love between Mrs. Su and our princess, this capital, see who would dare to deal with your Su family. ”
She said it severely, but there was no anger on her face. Xue Ling couldn't recognize who it was, so he only held the shark bead box and didn't speak. She and Su Yuanxuan have also come a few times, and every time she gives these subordinates a reward, I am afraid that it is enough for them to spend two or three years.
Sure enough, I saw Su Yuanxin stuffing a silver ticket into the maid's hand: "I still have to bother my sister to come to Su Mansion to get the news, Su asked you to buy some rouge." ”
This kind of flattering thing should have been done by Xue Ling, a subordinate, but Su Yuanxuan never let her interfere. Even if it is a hard labor, you have to make amends and laugh from your own body, and you can do a lot of drama. So much so that she often thinks that it is estimated that she has lost too much laughter, so she likes to go to Qinglou to buy laughter to balance her psychology.
The maid led Su Yuanxing to see the housekeeper and asked, "Why didn't Mrs. Su come over in person." It's better to say a few thoughtful words to the princess. You, the eldest young master, can't still enter the princess's boudoir. ”
Su Yuanxuan followed behind, and even deliberately controlled his steps to avoid crossing. It's not the crazy look in the Su family at all, but the warm smile makes people feel full of spring breeze: "My mother has been infected with the wind cold in the past few days, and I am afraid that I will miss the princess's daughter's body." I'm afraid that the Su family will really mix something in the fish, so I want to take a look first, stay clean for a few days, and then come to apologize in person, and ask my sister to say a few more good words in front of the princess. “
Su Yuanxuan took the box in Xue Ling's hand and handed it over: "This is a new box of shark beads that the Su family got this year, although it is not rare, it is rare to have a few grains of the same size, and they are colorful." The mother specially explained and gave the princess a reward. ”
The maid took it and took a look, and knew that Su Yuanyu was humble when he said that it was not rare, although the royal family was not lacking, but the daughter's family always liked these things, and the princess would probably be happy when she saw it. Then he smiled at Su Yuanxin and said: "It's hard for Mrs. Su to have a heart, it's no wonder that the princess complained a few words, who doesn't know that the fish is the princess's favorite." This year, Su Fu sent ten square fish jelly, and I couldn't eat it after cooking two or three in a row. If it weren't for the princess finally saying that it would be over, the ten Su families would not be enough to smash it. ”
"What my sister said is, I'm going to see what's wrong."
The maid took Xue Ling and the two of them to the ice cellar. There are still seven pieces of salamander frozen in oil paper, wrapped in oil paper, and the seal is a Su family fire paint seal, and there is no trace of damage. This means that no one has touched the fish since it was sealed.
Although the fish is expensive, the cost is indeed high. As Mrs. Su said, once caught, you have to freeze with gua oil, and the gua oil here is calculated according to the square, and the size and location of the fish sealed in are particular. Wait until the secone oil is completely solidified, and then cut into pieces according to the gap deliberately left when the fish were originally released, so that the number of fish sealed in each piece of gua oil is equal. Wrap it in oiled paper and store it in an ice cellar.
This toss, most of them are big merchants selling strange goods, and the Su family ships only thousands a year, which is already a huge amount. The ten pieces of the princess seem like a small amount, but if all of them are different, the Su family's signboard will be smashed.
There was really nothing unusual outside, so Su Yuanxuan carefully dismantled a piece. I found that the lard was jelly like a stubborn stone, and it was not easy to start. simply stopped looking at it, and said to the maid: "There is nothing abnormal at the bottom of the eyes, I don't know if it is inconvenient for my sister to take me to the kitchen of your mansion, and let me cook it myself." ”
I don't know how much silver Su Yuanxuan gave when he entered the door, anyway, Xue Ling didn't see that the maid was a little inconvenient. Carrying a piece of fish jelly, he deliberately brought them into the small kitchen, and then said that he was going to restore the princess's life, so that they could go to their own devices.
She didn't know how to cook herself, and she had never seen Su Yuanyu do this kind of fireworks thing, so she thought it was very novel, so she picked up a chair and sat down, and took a cucumber in the frame and nibbled there.
Soaking in warm water, the lard softened little by little, and gradually became a paste again, and a piece of fish jelly actually sealed more than a dozen sake. Wen Huo heated the pottery shards, and Su Yuanyu picked up two and put them on. The fish itself is covered in fat, and as soon as it is put on, it rattles, and then the umami of the fish begins to overflow. There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
After turning the fish back and forth a few times, Young Master Su turned off the fire and twisted two grains of salt and sprinkled them, dried them slightly, didn't use chopsticks, grabbed half of the fish tail, pinched Xue Ling's face, and stuffed them all in. He asked coldly, "What's the difference with what you eat in the morning?" ”
Xue Ling was choked and coughed for a long time, and his face turned red: "I...... Eat....no....come out.. "This scumbag is like this as soon as there is no outsider, it's like taking the wrong medicine.
"What a piece of crap". Su Yuanxuan stood there and waited for a while, seeing that Xue Ling was choked, and there was no other reaction, and he sneered and read: "It seems that it is not poisonous." After that, he pinched the belly of a fish and put it in his mouth.
After chewing twice, he said, "It's really nothing abnormal, I can only take it all back first, let's go." ”
The two were about to leave, and the maid who would come to greet them came in a hurry: "Young Master Su, it's really good that you are still here." When the princess heard that you were here to inspect you, she said that if there was no problem, she would make a copy for her. Let's see if the chef in the house is useless. ”
So Xue Ling stared at Su Yuanxuan again and repeated the fireworks just now, and then followed the maid with a plate of fish.
It's a little weird, but what's weird, she can't say
