Chapter 143: Lotus Root Crisp
Song Zhan nodded with satisfaction after listening to Tang Nuo's explanation of the fire gun and the situation after the Xishan test.
Tang Nuo carefully put away the firecracker, took the stack of silver tickets handed by Song Zhan, and put them in his sleeve pocket without clicking them.
"His Royal Highness King Shen is dead, King Rui has also been exposed, and it seems that His Royal Highness King Yu will not return to the north again. What are you going to do next? Is there anything I need to do more? ”
Song Zhan is wearing a human skin mask today, and although he is pretending to be a rich son at the moment, the aura around him is still that cold and hard His Royal Highness.
"The emperor is in good health, and the queen's womb is also very healthy, King Yu may not be the most suitable candidate, do you think I must be on King Yu's side?"
Tang Nuo shrugged his shoulders indifferently, poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
"I don't know about you, I only know that if this child of the queen is a boy, even if he wants to live well, I'm afraid it's not so easy, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out. But don't worry, if something happens to you, I'll take that young lady and sail away as you say. ”
Song Zhan lowered his head and looked at his dusty boots, stood up and prepared to leave.
"I hope you don't have to break the days of stability again, and I wish you can enjoy your old age in peace on the land of Daqi."
Tong Qingyan didn't have much curiosity about the uncle surnamed Mo in Zhou He's mouth, but she was still very happy when she thought that the Wen family was coming to Beijing.
Originally, I had to go to Songhua Garden in three days to get some delicious food and drink for Mrs. Tong, because the Wen family was going to come to Beijing, so they went more diligently, which was quite a bit like trying the old lady's dishes.
Mrs. Tong doesn't break it, in order to eat more delicious food, even if she is treated as a guinea pig, it doesn't matter.
On this day, Tong Qingyan began to knead the dough early in the morning, preparing to make lotus root cake.
The white and chubby lotus root crisp, because the old lady loves meat, still chose to use cloud leg meat and shredded radish.
Tong Qingyan was busy kneading dough in the kitchen, and the old lady was not idle, taking a cup of rose dew and taking a sip to watch her granddaughter work.
There were only two grandparents in the whole kitchen, and Mrs. Tong didn't bother to pretend, so she pulled a pestle with her foot and sat down.
"How have you been getting along with His Royal Highness the Prince lately?"
Tong Qingyan's subordinates kept going, and her mind flashed the daily life of the past few days, and she shook her head.
"He's been busy lately, I don't know what he's busy with, and I haven't seen each other much."
"This man, it's better to be busy, if you're not busy, you're idle all day long like your father, it's not good."
Tong Qingyan thought about Tong Huaiyuan, who was walking around with Xiaoxue all day, and smiled.
"Grandmother, are you suspicious of your father's surprise inspection of your food?"
"Of course not, I'm still afraid that he won't make it? I see him as a big man, and now he is an idle man, he has nothing serious to do, he walks the dog all day long, how can he set an example for Brother Ping in the future. The prince is busy, you should be considerate of him. ”
"I'm very considerate, I've never had any petty trouble, grandmother, don't worry."
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't drink the rose dew anymore, and sighed heavily.
"Silly boy, how can you not make a fuss at all? Only crying children have milk to drink, and they are usually very clever, but they are stupid when it is critical. He's busy with him, and you have to make trouble when you should. ”
Tong Qingyan had limited strength, and while dealing with the old lady, she had to keep kneading the puff pastry, and when she heard the old lady's words, her subordinates immediately stopped.
"Grandmother, you call me a coquettish, don't you?"
"Well, that's what it means, don't stop, keep doing, I'm hungry and waiting."
"Okay."
Mrs. Tong's eyes swept Tong Qingyan up and down, and the light that came in through the window, looking at the fine dust flying in the light, her voice was slow and soft.
"How many people in the world are stumped by a love word, grandmother looks forward to your good, just like your father and mother, not to mention raising your eyebrows, at least you have to have each other in your heart, so that you can live your life. If you have a person in your heart, how can you not think about it, not talk about it, and lose your temper? Boy, you still don't love him enough......"
Tong Qingyan's hand rolling out the dough was just a meal.
"Do grandmothers and grandfathers love each other?"
When the old lady heard her little granddaughter ask this question, she was not too embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she replied frankly.
"Your grandfather was kind to me, he took me in and I was cornered, and he gave me a home. Maybe at first I didn't have any love for your grandfather, just to repay the favor, but when he really left me, I was sad and wanted to go with him, which should be called love. ”
Tong Qingyan began to wrap the lotus root crisp, wrapped in the shape of a white and chubby lotus root, and fried it in hot oil, and the fire in the stove should be raised.
Mrs. Tong took the initiative to start a fire, and those who have worked for most of their lives have not lost their original craftsmanship because of these years of pampering.
The heat should be just right, so that the lotus root crisp can be fried successfully, and the fire will affect the pleats of the puff pastry.
Tong Qingyan suddenly remembered what Zhou He said in vain, thinking about her grandmother's age, she should know more than herself and Wen Qi, so she asked.
"Grandmother, didn't the Wen family's cousin's maternal grandfather have the surname Bai?"
"Bang-"
The burning stick in the old lady's hand fell to the ground, and Tong Qingyan looked at the stove, only to see the old lady bending down to pick up the back of the burning stick.
"Grandmother?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's not steady."
Old Madam Tong looked at the fiery stove, but she only felt cold, held back her trembling tone, and pretended to ask casually.
"Doctor Bai is not surnamed Bai, who is listening to this, what else can you have if you don't have the surname Bai."
"It's that my mother fell ill before, didn't she invite a doctor from Jishitang, Doctor Zhou said that Doctor Bai was his uncle, originally not surnamed Bai, surnamed Mo, and not the imperial doctor in the palace, just a imperial doctor."
"Really?! What else did Dr. Zhou say? ”
"I didn't say anything more, Dr. Zhou has been looking for his uncle for many years, and the cousin of the Wen family said that when his aunt and mother enter Beijing, they will arrange for Dr. Zhou to meet and talk to his aunt in detail."
"No way!"
Mrs. Tong stood up suddenly, only to feel dizzy for a while, Tong Qingyan threw down her chopsticks and rushed forward to support the old lady's swaying body.
"Grandmother, what are you doing so hard? Grandmother, are you alright? Your face is so ugly, I'll help you go back to your room to rest. ”
"Okay, grandmother also feels a little uncomfortable, go back to the room, go back to the room."
Tong Qingyan helped the old lady back, and Wang's mother was startled when she saw it, and immediately put down the work in her hand and stepped forward.
"What's going on? Why is the old lady's face so ugly? ”
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little dizzy when I get up, just take a rest."
Mrs. Tong handed her hand to Mother Wang, patted it twice comfortingly, and turned her head to look at Tong Qingyan, who was still wearing an apron.
"You go back and continue to do it, grandmother will eat your lotus root crisp after a break, don't worry."
"Yes."
Although the old lady said so, until Tong Qingyan left the pine birch garden, she didn't see the old lady get up.
In the evening, Tong Huaiyuan was ready to go to bed after soaking his feet, but Wang's mother personally went to Tinglanju to invite him to go to Songhua Garden immediately, and Tong Huaiyuan didn't bother to ask too much with a serious expression, and ran out with his shoes on.
