This means that she doesn't have to stand at the table and wait.
The eunuch came over to wait for the fourth elder brother, and Qing Yang also clamped a chopsticks and eight treasures of chicken fat and chicken shreds for Ning Ying.
The shredded chicken fat falls on the plate, the white juice is bright, the texture is fresh and tender, accompanied by white sesame seeds, and the aroma is fragrant.
Ning Ying suddenly remembered the food variety show she had watched before, which once mentioned: The ancients had a saying, called "People don't eat and drink, and few can know what to do." ”
The literal meaning translates to this: although people eat every day, there are very few people who actually know how to eat.
In other words: those who really know how to eat, even in the face of the most homely, ordinary ingredients, can discover the infinite taste in it, and enjoy every detail of life.
Ning Ying lowered her head and tasted it, the shredded chicken fat was very tender, and the entrance was salty and fragrant—but it seemed to be a little too oily.
It's okay to taste one or two chopsticks like this, but I'm afraid I'll get tired of eating too much.
She put a pair of chopsticks and rice into her mouth, chewed a few bites, and then looked at the chicken fat shredded chicken, and she missed the eight-treasure duck she made a little.
Before the crossing, one of the works she was proud of was the Eight Treasure Duck.
Actually, this dish is quite cumbersome and time-consuming to make - but it is not delicious!
Shiitake mushrooms, lotus seeds, peanuts, chestnuts, sausages, carrots, dates, bamboo shoots, ham diced mixed with glutinous rice as filling, steamed with duck, duck meat absorbs the essence of eight treasures, salty and crispy, the eight treasure rice inside is fragrant and glutinous.
It's a pity that she doesn't have a kitchenette and the ingredients are not free - otherwise she can cook and eat whatever she wants.
Thinking of this, Ning Ying held the chopsticks, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and then her eyes inadvertently fell on the hand of the fourth elder brother next to her holding the chopsticks.
The fourth elder brother's hand bones are slender, containing the power of forbearance, his fingers are straight and distinct, and his complexion is cold white.
Ning Ying tilted her head, and her gaze moved up a little further: the four gourds had a handsome face, sitting upright under the lamp, without saying a word, with a solemn and elegant posture, like a Zhilan jade tree.
It's just that there is no wave on his face - it seems that this table full of delicacies is the same for him.
Ning Ying thought of the legend that there was a rule in the Qing Palace that "you can't eat more than three", so she paid attention to it for a while, and sure enough: no matter what kind of dish, no matter how tempting it looks, no matter how delicious it smells, the eunuchs will not stay longer, they will always taste it and change it.
The fourth elder brother is just eating quietly.
Ning Ying looked at it, and felt a little sympathetic to the four gourds.
As a standard foodie and culinary expert, Ning Ying can be said to have tasted all kinds of food before crossing, eating whatever she wants, eating what she likes,
If they all eat with restraint like the fourth elder brother...... What's the fun in life......
However, the four gourds were born in the emperor's house in the end, and their status is precious. Likes not to show it - probably he's been used to being bound by such rules since he was a child, right?
Only...... It's pretty pitiful.
Ning Ying thought about it, and actually took over the chopsticks from Qing Yang's hand, and took the initiative to clip a chopstick Tianxiang lotus lotus leaf pork ribs for the fourth elder brother, and said enthusiastically: "Fourth master, try this!" ”
She just thought that this fried pork rib was very delicious, the meat had the fragrance of lotus seeds and lotus leaves, it was fresh and refreshing, and the lotus root was also very sweet.
The ribs "click" and gently land on the plate.
Eunuch Waiter: ......?
Su Peisheng: ......!
Fourth Elder Brother: ......
His eyelids twitched, and he finally raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.
The girl on the other side blinked, with a little surprise in her expression. She tilted her head slightly, and showed herself a soft smile, her eyes sparkling.
Su Peisheng knew: In addition to the special serving eunuchs, his own brother didn't like to be picked up with food when he was eating.
When I used to eat in the house: Even Fujin saw this, and he was afraid of being annoyed, so he didn't dare to pick up dishes for the fourth elder brother.
Li Fangfujin has never seen this: every time she has the opportunity to accompany the fourth elder brother to dine, she is always busy "pleasing the fourth elder brother".
At the moment, Ning Gege is picking up vegetables, and it is estimated that the fourth elder brother will not touch it.
Su Peisheng thought so firmly, and then saw the fourth elder brother pause, and actually picked up the ribs with an expressionless face.
Su Peisheng's whole person was shocked.
Seeing that the meal was almost finished, and the dog hair on the little wonton was also dried, it was full of energy at night, happily shuttling back and forth in the yard, running from Ning Ying's house to the front of the opposite door Wu Gege's house, and flicking its tail and jumping back.
Ning Ying was afraid that the fourth elder brother would be too noisy, so she planned to let Ting'er hold the little wonton away first.
As soon as she spoke, the fourth elder brother spoke: "It's out of the way." ”
Ning Ying: The fourth elder brother really likes dogs very much......
After happily shuttling back and forth dozens of times, the little wonton finally felt tired, it ran over, walked around the fourth elder brother for a while, and finally tilted its head, looked at the fourth elder brother cautiously several times, and finally lay down at his feet boldly.
The fourth elder brother glanced at the little wonton, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.
After a while, the minions came forward to remove the plates, Qing Yang saw this, and hurriedly sent hot tea, while desperately glancing at her own Gege - Ning Ying knew what she meant: I finally waited for the fourth elder brother to come and quickly kept the people!
Ning Ying took the tea cup that Qing Yang handed to her, held it in the palm of her hand, and was not in a hurry to drink it.
She looked down at the heat rising in the teacup, like an ambiguous thought, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart: Look at this, is the fourth elder brother planning to stay here tonight?
If she really slept here, she, the newcomer, would have to "wait", right?
However, as a woman in the backyard of the fourth elder brother, since she has crossed into the body of the original owner, this day will come sooner or later.
She was thinking about it in a mess, when the fourth elder brother took a sip of tea, and suddenly said lightly: "It's called a little wonton, isn't it?" ”
Ning Ying nodded obediently and smiled: "If you go back to the fourth master, it is called a little wonton, which is the 'wonton' you eat." ”
When she said this, thinking of Li Fangfujin's chicken soup wonton, the smile on her face faded a little, and she lowered her head and gently shook the teacup.
The evening breeze of early summer slowly blew through the courtyard, with the fragrance of grass and trees, faintly the sound of insects, the lights were warm, and the tea cup in the hand was also warm.
The fourth elder brother took in the changes in her expression.
The little wonton was lying at the feet of the fourth elder brother, and when he heard his name mentioned, he immediately shook his head, raised his head, stared at the fourth elder brother with dark eyes, stared at Ning Ying again, and then fell down again.
The fourth elder brother nodded, and suddenly said lightly: "What about you?" ”
Ning Ying was stunned for a moment before she reacted - the fourth elder brother was actually asking her name.
