Chapter 44: Gastronomy

The burlesque of Lianzhufang on the stage of Yingxiao Pavilion is reaching a small climax.

A piece of white was painted on the bridge of the harlequin's nose, squatting and walking pretending to be a dwarf, playing the beating of his chest after being deceived, which caused everyone to laugh one after another, even if it was Wang Xi in the attic, he was gradually attracted by the servant, his voice became smaller and smaller, his eyes fell on him, and the people watching the play laughed below.

Only Lu Ling, who is still young, likes everything beautiful. The harlequin could only make her smile, and she soon felt that it was not interesting, and began to quietly pull the corner of Wang Xi's clothes, and asked curiously: "How can my sister make so many delicious foods?" ”

People like them don't expect them to cook on the stove at all, as long as they know a basic dish and can cope with the scene, like Wang Xi, no matter where the dish is, it must have made a lot of effort.

That's a bit unusual.

After the initial surprise, although he knew that this was because the troupe sang in the powerful mansion for stability and perfection, and did not dare to use new jokes, he was still a little disappointed. When Lu Ling asked her what to say, she also put her mind on Lu Ling, and said with a smile: "My great-grandfather once went out to do business and was trapped in a temple by heavy rain. When he came back, he demanded that every one of our children learn how to make noodles and cakes before they go out. My great-grandfather discovered that he was better at cooking, and because of this, my grandfather was very fond of local cuisine, and I learned a lot about how to cook. ”

She didn't tell Lu Ling that her great-grandfather had created a restaurant brand because of this, which has now become one of their family's most profitable industries.

Lu Ling was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said admiringly: "No wonder your family can do such a big business!" My grandmother said that people with the ability can be prepared for danger in times of peace and use adversity as a whetstone. It's also amazing that the elders of your family have taught you the skills to take care of yourself just because you haven't been able to eat. ”

Ouch, this little girl is really good at talking.

And when she speaks, she doesn't know how clear her eyes are, and you can feel her sincerity at a glance.

Wang Xi liked her even more, and said, "What else do you like to eat?" Liuyin Garden can live at the end of June, what is the best food in Beijing in July? It is the season when the dragon head fish is on the market, and the sea urchin is also plump. However, you may not be used to eating sea urchins. You northerners like to eat dumplings, have you ever eaten dumplings stuffed with mackerel? July is also the time when mackerel is on the market, and when you come over, I will make you dumplings with mackerel filling, or steamed mackerel. ”

Just a few words, let people know how good she is at eating.

Don't say it's Lu Ling, it's just Miss Wu Er, who listened casually, and her saliva was about to flow out.

She said, "Can mackerel still make dumplings?" Won't it be fishy? ”

Wang Xi said with a smile: "Mackerel dumplings are a recipe from Jiaodong. As for whether it is fishy or not, it depends on your taste. Like me, you think mutton is too fatty, but you all love it. ”

Miss Wu Er simply stopped watching the show, and talked to Wang Xi about eating: "How can mutton be fat, that's because you didn't eat in the right place, we like mutton in Hetao in the north, put some salt and water and boil it to eat, I don't know how delicious it is." ”

The Hou family of Qingping really still likes to eat Northwest cuisine.

Wang Xiwaner said with a smile: "You have a banquet in your house, and the best dishes must be boiled mutton, hand-grabbed mutton, and roast mutton, right?" ”

Miss Wu Er glared and said, "Don't underestimate our family, our family's best thing is oily noodles." ”

"It's still Northwest cuisine." Wang Xi laughed, it is rare to have the opportunity to scold people so bluntly, but you don't have to worry about the other party having a glass heart, and you will get angry whenever there is a storm.

Miss Wu Er laughed and didn't care about Wang Xi's ridicule.

Wang Xi wanted to hug Lu Ling and kiss her.

The little girl introduced her to a friend who was worth playing with.

Miss Wu Er also gave her an idea: "Why don't you hold a flower-viewing banquet in October?" It was the time to eat crabs, and if you are so good at eating, you must have eaten crabs in more than one place. I heard from the master who taught me how to read that crabs taste different from place to place, and I really wanted to taste the difference. ”

Wang Xi readily agreed.

The burlesque on the stage has ended, and the Ewha class is about to start singing "Shiro Visits Mother".

Without the noisy sound of gongs and drums, their voices suddenly became louder.

Chang Ke said: "Don't hold any flower-viewing banquets, will you invite or not invite Cousin Shi when the time comes?" ”

I almost didn't say that it would be very disappointing to have her.

How many people started to discuss how to treat them again? When is the treat?

Shiro, who was wearing platform shoes, was on the stage with a flag on the stage.

As soon as the clear voice spoke, the attention of several little girls was redrawn to the stage.

Chang Ke said excitedly: "Is this the little Rongxi of the pear blossom class?" ”

Lu Ling said: "It's him." Now Rongxi doesn't sing much, saying that he is old and his voice is not very good. ”

Miss Wu Er said: "I still saw him when he was twelve or thirteen years old when he first appeared on stage, with red lips and white teeth, like a New Year's doll, but beautiful." He's twenty-one or two this year, right? It is a good age to sing martial arts. ”

Lu Ling said: "He is also very beautiful now. He is not tall, but he looks very slim, and his skin is especially good. When the eldest princess of Lin'an celebrated her birthday, she specially called him to speak. A pair of eyes are shining, the eldest princess of Lin'an also praised him for his good eyes, he said that he has been practicing since he was a child, looking left and right at the hydrangea, and after a long time, he can practice a pair of such eyes. I went home and studied, but after a few days of study, I followed my grandmother to Qingyunhou's Mansion to drink, and when I came back, I forgot about it. She smiled embarrassedly.

Miss Wu Er laughed and said, "You found something else to have fun, right?" ”

Lu Ling didn't deny it, and grinned: "Bo Mingyue said that he could let the kitten pay New Year's greetings, and I will teach our family balls to pay New Year's greetings." ”

Several people laughed.

The grandmother arranged by Cuigu brought hot water to refill the water for them.

Xiao Rongxi started fighting, and his movements were extremely clean and neat, which was already everyone's demeanor.

Wang Xi couldn't help but sigh "yes" and leaned over to look.

Miss Wu Er pulled her, stuffed something into her hand, and said, "You use this!" Claircase. Have you used it? Don't let anyone find out. ”

Wang Xi took it and saw that it was a clairglass that was even lighter than the one she used, folded, and could be hidden in a purse, of course, the range of vision was very limited.

But something is better than nothing.

Wang Xi thanked him with a smile.

Lu Ling said: "Sister Zhu still hid such a good thing and didn't tell me." ”

Miss Wu Er smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that you will shout so that everyone knows?" I quietly took it out from Brother Qi. It's a foreign product, but it's hard to get. My seventh brother still exchanged the Jinchun knife he treasured with the second brother Luo. I usually don't want to give people a look. ”

Wang Xi's heart moved.

Could it be this clairvoyant mirror that Chen Luo is using in his hand?

If it was this one, then he shouldn't be able to see what he was.

She hurriedly said: "This clairvoyant mirror, when did your seventh brother get it." ”

Miss Wu Er smiled: "It should have been more than half a year!" I found it when he secretly took out the wipe, and I took advantage of his inattention to come along. Just try to see if everything is as he said. ”

In other words, Chen Luo has more than one clairvoyant mirror in his hand.

Maybe he'll be able to get something like the one in her eldest brother's hand, and he can see far away.

Wang Xi secretly scolded Chen Luo in her heart, thinking that this clairvoyant mirror was not a special thing for her, Miss Wu Er took out the first one to her, she just took a look at what Xiao Rongxi looked like, or let others try it earlier, and as soon as her eyes were off, the figure of green silk appeared in the clairvoyant mirror.

Why don't you see red silk?

Wang Xi frowned slightly, quickly cleaned up his expression, turned around and returned the clairvoyant mirror to Miss Wu Er, and said, "Let's watch it alone for a while." ”

When friends play together, they must accommodate each other and tolerate each other.

Miss Wu Er also felt that Lu Ling had introduced her to a good playmate, so she took it and gave it to the youngest Lu Ling, and told Lu Ling how to use it.

The vista was suddenly magnified, and Lu Ling, who was using the clairvoyance for the first time, exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly handed the clairvoyance to Chang Ke: "Sister, look at it, it's interesting!" ”

How can Chang Ke not like such a girl?

But she couldn't say that Wang Xi also had one, so she thanked her with a smile, and she was pulled by Lu Ling to the window lattice next to her.

Wang Xi also stood by the window lattice, looking at Qingsu talking to the grandmother squatting next to the attic, she said to Miss Wu Er: "I see my maid looking for me, I'll go down to see what's going on, come up immediately!" ”

A few people were playing with the clairhand, and when they heard the words, they made a "hmm" twice, and didn't look at her more.

Wang Xi smiled and went down to the attic.

Qingsilk smiled, but there was a bit of anxiety in her eyes.

Wang Xi said hello to the grandmother, and led the green silk to talk under the locust tree next to him.

"I heard that Red Silk came to me, but I didn't meet Red Silk." Qingxi said anxiously, "I searched around, but I didn't find anyone, and I didn't dare to rush in in other places, for fear of causing trouble for Miss." ”

Wang Xi had already expected it, and he had a plan in his heart, so he asked Qingsilk first: "Why did you go for such a long time?" Did you run into any trouble? ”

Qingsu shook her head and said, "It's just that something is delayed - I'm afraid that people will find out, so in order to save time, I went directly to Lu Mingxuan." Who knew that Lu Mingxuan's side was heavily defended, and there were guards everywhere. I was afraid of startling the snakes, so I hid on the beams of a gazebo for a long time, and waited for the guards who were hiding in the shadows to leave before going to the bamboo forest. After saying that, her cheeks turned red, and she said with an excited expression, "No one has noticed." I pulled out the knife and, as you said, threw it into the Willow Garden. I'm afraid that some craftsman over there will accidentally find out, climb over the wall again, and bury the knife before coming. ”

Wang Xi looked at her shoes.

The shoe bar is very clean.

Qingsilk said: "I've packed it up, no one will find out." ”

But what is it about Lu Mingxuan having guards?
