Chapter 384: Crisp Mountain
Compared with Aya's voice, which is honest and straightforward, A-Niang's voice is like a person, and it is really as tender as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
After listening to Aye's words, Liu Chenxing couldn't help but look at the mirror, looking at the Liu family in the mirror, he didn't know how many times he had praised his beautiful A-Niang.
and the whispered voice of A-Niang in her ears just now, which made people's bones soft.
"A-Niang, a woman's beauty knows no age, not to mention A-Niang is so beautiful." Liu Chenxing was impressed by Liu's gentleness, looked at Liu's in the mirror with bright eyes, and said: "That's right, this makeup is not for sale, just give it to A-Niang, I haven't seen A-Niang put on makeup, it must be very good-looking!" When she said it, she imagined that Liu's makeup was on, and she really wanted to dress up for her mother's good life immediately, and she was also a feast for her eyes.
Liu looked at her daughter's eager gaze that was the same as her husband Liu Qianli, and the gentle look on her face stiffened slightly.
Fortunately, she has a gentle temperament and a good temper, she took a deep breath, eased up, glanced at Liu Chenxing angrily, and said, "Just your poor mouth!" Okay, if you're worried that this gift won't be good to return, you Aya and I have some more here, and the return gift is enough. In short, this makeup has to be kept, how can a little lady not have the same complete makeup? Besides, there was a Duanyang banquet on two days, and the sage rewarded you with a set of palace clothes, so you can't go with your face to the sky? Speaking of which, this set of makeup was delivered in a really timely manner, and A-Niang just used it to groom you. There are also things in the makeup box, A-Niang has also seen it, and there is no jewelry, just a comb and earrings to ask for some money, but they are all good, in addition to the fine workmanship, the materials are not valuable, you can take it down, and you can usually wear it."
whispered to Liu Chenxing, and the Liu family didn't say much, the whole family was still waiting for the evening food.
Liu Shi got up from the ground and said, "Okay, A-Niang won't say anything more to you, I'll leave this makeup for your own use, it's dark now, it's too late if you don't eat twilight, you brothers and sisters come over quickly." ”
The mother has spoken, and she has persuaded her with good words, and the Duanyang banquet in two days will indeed use this set of makeup, Liu Chenxing and Liu Qingshan, the brother and sister who are still counting on selling money, take a look at the princess, only obey the words of the mother, get up from the main case full of gifts, and follow to the long table in the middle of the main hall to eat.
Just Chong Liu Qinghai was already sitting at the dining table, already waiting for the meal to start, so he knew how rich today's twilight food was.
It is the same as the first day back to Chang'an, and the food sent by Li Siniang this time is not much better than the one sent the day before yesterday, which highlights the strong economic reality of the Li family.
People love sashimi, and in the summer, the big families don't eat a little chilled sashimi, which is really not enough to highlight their wealth.
The food sent by the Li family this time is a fish carp, this fish fish was sent before noon, and now it is dark, and there is a thin layer of ice under the fish fillet, you can know how much ice was put in this fish sent by Li Siniang at that time, and how expensive it was.
probably finally looked forward to the son getting married, and also sent the shoes and socks made by the future daughter-in-law, especially this daughter-in-law is still a noble daughter, Grandma Liu was simply flattered, and she was already satisfied with Li Siniang, who had not yet met, and saw that the most proud granddaughter sat over, so she spoke for Li Siniang: "Li Niangzi is really careful, it is estimated that today is the first day of A Xing's business, so that the food sent is more exquisite than the day before yesterday, and she must be planning to give a gift to Ah Xing to celebrate, but it is a pity that Wen Su is not there." , saying that there is a literati gathering tonight. ”
Listening to Grandma's talk for her before she saw her future aunt, Liu Chenxing couldn't help but laugh.
However, Li Siniang is really good at dealing with people, she didn't look down on Grandma is from the countryside, Li Siniang herself is a noble girl, and she is still a kind of royal relatives, and she can still send her own needlework according to the etiquette of ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and even A-Niang and her have it, which may make Grandma Liu feel a lot more down-to-earth, these days since she knew that Uncle Liu had married such a high-ranking family, Grandma Liu was both surprised and timid, and she now has a good impression of Li Siniang.
Looking at the smiles of Grandma Liu and her family, Liu Chenxing glanced at the dining table, in addition to the sashimi spread on the ice cubes, there were also high-end delicacies such as sugar crab, steamed wild dove, and fresh lotus root.
However, the most novel thing about this table is a plate of ice food that looks like a magnificent snow-capped mountain.
The lower layer is ice, and the top layer is covered with a cream-like white viscous solid, which looks like a dairy product.
On top of this layer of white dairy products, there are flowers, colored trees and other ornaments.
I didn't care about it at first, but after looking at it carefully, Liu Chenxing's eyes couldn't help but light up.
The bottom layer of ice, topped with a layer of cream or cheese, and finished with a few garnishes to make it delicious, isn't that exactly the sweet thing to buy in modern summer, such as shaved ice!?
It seems that this is ancient ice cream!
Originally, I wanted to follow Grandma Liu's words and praise Li Siniang together, but now she really wants to praise.
Liu Chenxing pointed to the rockery-shaped ice food in the middle of the dining table, and hurriedly asked, "Grandma, is this also sent by my future aunt?" What is it? Ah Xing has never seen it before! Haha, I've been in Chang'an for two years, and I've eaten several times in the palace, but I haven't seen such food, so I'm going to thank my future aunt for my mouth. ”
The curiosity in my heart was asked, but I couldn't forget the words of praising Li Siniang, Liu Chenxing said with a smile.
Although Grandma Liu wanted to praise Li Siniang, her impression of Shen Zhongyi was also first-class, and when she heard Liu Chenxing praise that ice food, Grandma Liu also said bluntly: "The other food on the table was sent by Li Siniang, but this dish was sent by Wei Wangfu, it seems to be called Sushan, I heard that although it is cold food made of ice, it stands to reason that it is not good for people's internal organs, but this Sushan, the people of Wei Wangfu say that it is extremely nutritious." ”
At some age, when the Wei Wangfu sent food, although Grandma Liu was present, she didn't remember much.
Liu knew that the old mother couldn't explain clearly, so he added: "The people of the Wei Wangfu said that this ice food called Sushan has ice underneath, and the white layer poured on the ice is called soufflé, that is, a dairy product made from milk. ”
"To make this mountain of soufflé is also quite complicated, first heat the soufflé to a near-melting state, then mix in cane syrup or honey, drizzle it on a plate into the shape of a mountain, and then put it in the ice cellar to freeze, let it solidify, and then add soufflé, nuts, flowers and other decorations."
