047 The fourth master drinks slowly
The fourth elder brother vaguely remembered the direction of Ning Ying's new courtyard - there was a half-day of western light in the afternoon, but he was afraid that the heat might not go out at night.
He paused for a moment and instructed Xiao Panzi: "Take the ice bucket newly rewarded in the palace today, pick two small ones, and send them to Ning Gege." ”
A newly rewarded ice bucket in the palace?
That's what Concubine De gave me!
Xiao Panzi was stunned for a moment, and just looked up at the expression of the fourth elder brother, who had already stretched out his arms and was waiting for the servants to undress.
His emotions were not exposed, and his eyebrows were just indifferent and lazy, and after saying this, there was no other command.
Xiao Panzi agreed and withdrew.
Not long after, the ice bucket had already been delivered to Ning Ying's yard.
Xiao Panzi has run a lot to Ning Ying's place now, and he is already familiar with the way.
Ting'er was chasing Xiao Wonton in the yard, and when she saw Xiao Panzi coming, she stopped and showed a slightly embarrassed smile at Xiao Panzi.
Xiao Panzi didn't pay attention, just let the little eunuch with the ice bucket wait in the courtyard, and then as soon as Qingyang came out, he followed and went in to report to Ning Ying.
Ning Ying was in the house, recording the menu with a pen in one hand, and eating French fries dipped in tomato sauce in the other, when she saw Qing Yang coming over with Xiao Panzi.
She thought it was a new minion, but she heard Xiao Panzi say with a smile that the fourth elder brother rewarded Gege with two ice buckets.
Qing Yang brought the ice bucket over and held it in front of Ning Ying, asking her to take a closer look.
Although it is a "Xiaoice bucket", this so-called "small" is only relative.
After all, in the Forbidden City, in order to cool down well, the size of the ice bucket is huge.
If you look closely, the outside of the ice bucket is also carved with a flower branch crescent moon pattern, which is particularly elegant - the upper part of the ice bucket is hollowed out, which is the hole of the air conditioner, and there is space in the middle to store, chilled watermelon, and cold drinks.
The ice cubes inside were curling with cool air, and the hand was icy, and Qing Yang held it in his hand, and he felt that the coolness had penetrated from the palm of his hand to his heart.
Ning Ying was very happy.
It's a good thing - there is no air conditioning at this time, and it was fine when I first crossed over, but now that the days are getting hotter by the day, it is really hard to sleep at night.
With these two buckets at the head and foot of the bed, it is equivalent to having a small air conditioner at night, which will definitely be much more comfortable.
"This is a reward in the palace today, the handles are all new clusters, and they were only put in the fourth master's study for less than half an hour, and they were brought over! If Gege has no other instructions, the slave will go back to give the fourth master a gift. Xiao Panzi said with a smile.
Ning Ying nodded, and suddenly thought that there were still unpicked fries in the pot, so she said, "Wait a minute." ”
She turned around and instructed Qing Yang to put the rest of the french fries into a snack box, and served it with ketchup and a pot of chilled original bubble tea.
Then she asked Qing Yang to carry it herself, and followed Xiao Panzi to send the things to the fourth elder brother's front yard study.
In the study, the fourth elder brother had finished bathing, changed into a clean white underwear, and was ready to sleep.
As a result, watching Xiao Panzi take things out of the delicate food box in the same way, he couldn't help but laugh a little - he just rewarded Ning Ying with an ice bucket, this is Ning Ying's return gift to him?
The aroma of fried potato fries is too strong, and the sweetness and sourness of the tomato sauce rush over in bursts.
The fourth elder brother looked away with some difficulty.
He usually doesn't eat anything at this point.
It's fatal to die that tonight's dinner is not appetizing, and he doesn't use it much, and it's Ning Ying's fried potato fries, he tasted it last time - he knows that it tastes very good......
The fourth elder brother didn't expect that he would also have a moment of struggling for "eating".
His face didn't move, his eyelids twitched, and he saw Xiao Panzi take out a pot of iced bubble tea.
The milk tea was chilled for a long time, and it was all the way from the backyard, it was the warm wind of the summer night, and there was a circle of water vapor beads on the outer wall of the teapot.
The fourth elder brother put down the book in his hand and swept his gaze over - this milk tea looks a little like black and black tea, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like it.
He shook the cup, and saw that there were faintly black and transparent balls looming with ripples below, one by one like black pearls.
"What is this?" The fourth elder brother narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xiao Panzi said: "Back to the fourth master's words, Gege said - this is called bubble tea!" It's still deliberately chilled, and the taste is better. ”
Seeing a corner of paper leaking from the bottom of the pot, the fourth elder brother reached out and tore it from the bottom of the teapot, and when he unfolded it, he saw nine ugly characters written crookedly on it: "There are small balls inside, and the fourth master drinks slowly." ”
The ink is hearty, and the force penetrates the back of the paper, and several bean-sized ink spots are almost staining the paper.
The fourth elder brother lowered his eyes slightly and smiled.
This is her heart, why should he live up to it?
……
The fries really taste good, he has already eaten a plate in a short time, and the so-called ice bubble tea looks novel, but the taste is really good.
I really don't know where Ning's little head came up with so many strange ideas.
Especially the small meatballs, which have a unique flavor in the mouth.
At first, he thought it was made of glutinous rice and brown sugar, but later found out that it was not - glutinous rice balls are sweet and soft and sticky to the teeth, and they will not be so elastic.
Xiao Panzi watched from the side, and the fourth elder brother, who had never touched supper much, actually finished eating and drinking both things on the table, and couldn't help but give Ning Ying a cheer in his heart.
This is called a master!
Although people didn't show up in front of the fourth master, just with this delicacy, they already had a wave of presence, and it was not annoying, and it made the fourth master think of her - this invitation to pets is really silent and sound.
……
The news in the backyard always spreads fast.
Ning Gege has a pair of skillful hands, and the news that she made novel and delicious dishes three times and twice, attracting the fourth elder brother to always go to her, soon spread to Li Fangfujin Courtyard.
"What are you said to call fried potato fries...... Xiao Rouzi knelt in front of Li Fang Fujin, frowning and reminiscing, and said carefully.
"Potatoes?" Although Li Fangfujin does not touch the spring water with his ten fingers, he also knows that this thing is very ordinary.
In the year of famine, it was also this thing that the homeless people dug out of the ground to satisfy their hunger.
Li Fangfujin's face was full of disdain, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were mixed with jealousy and uneasiness that could not be concealed - after all, such an ordinary thing as potatoes can attract the fourth master?
Is the fourth master really attracted by the food, or is he attracted by the person who makes the food?
Thinking about Ning Ying's picturesque face...... Li Fangfujin stroked his lower abdomen over and over again, and his mood became more and more irritable.
Shu Lei observed the words and expressions beside her, and said softly: "Fang Fujin doesn't need to worry, potatoes are just ordinary things, so Ninggege can do it, why can't we make it if we have a small kitchen?"
The slave has a way: Ming'er, let's go to the dining room and pick up potatoes, and try it in the small kitchen, if it is tried, then Fang Fujin will send someone to invite the fourth master, just say that Ergege wants Ama, isn't it done? ”
