Chapter 156: Mung Bean Cake with Sour Plum Juice
Jiang Shixian finally remembered the Li family, and reluctantly left the soft and jade warm incense to take a look.
Yin Mei'er didn't stop her, she just took the opportunity to ask the mothers-in-law why things went wrong.
The three mothers-in-law stood in a row, and Mrs. Yang didn't wait for questions, so she smiled and said: "Second Miss, don't you see the jewelry that the girl gave you, she doesn't know your preferences, and the old slave chose it for you." ”
A trace of ridicule flashed in Mrs. Chen's eyes, and she looked at Mrs. Yang quietly asking for credit, and Mrs. Yang straightened her waist and took a step forward, which was much better than the other two.
"Uncle also said that you look good when you wear it."
"Oh?" Yin Meier didn't even plan to look at it, what kind of vision can a country girl have, and what she likes is also the kind of vulgar powder that she wears, but when she heard that it was past Jiang Shixian's eyes, she suddenly became curious, opened the exquisite wooden box, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I still know me and what I like." Yin Mei'er said with a smile, looked up and glanced at Mrs. Yang who was waiting for praise, and said casually without much distraction: "Mother Yang's vision is also good, this has to cost a lot of silver, right?" I didn't expect that girl to be quite generous. ”
Mrs. Yang just wanted to say something, but Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, looking down on her flattering appearance, "Second Miss, things are not cheap, but no matter how expensive they are, they are not as expensive as that woman." ”
Yin Mei'er felt that this was normal, and she was not Jiang Xiaotuan's mother-in-law, but Mrs. Wang said again: "That woman's bracelet will add you and Miss Xiao's two together, and this money is all from my uncle." ”
"What?" Yin Meier slammed the wooden box on the table along with the ruby jewelry inside.
Mrs. Chen, who was silent, hurriedly shouted: "Second Miss, you are angry, be careful of the fetal gas." ”
Yin Mei'er gasped for breath to calm herself down, her heart was tight, and her silver teeth were about to be crushed, but in front of her subordinates, she couldn't say anything, so she had to pretend to be generous, "Buy it, buy it, Shixian will buy it for her, these in my house are all bought by him." ”
Mrs. Yang's invitation failed, how dare she speak at this time, Mrs. Wang felt that she had the upper hand, and continued: "Uncle has no money, it's not your money!" ”
"Mother Wang......" Yin Mei'er shouted coldly, "You guys go down first, I'll rest for a while." ”
Mrs. Chen calmly handed her a glass of water, and then turned around and planned to follow the two out, Yin Meier lost confidence in the other two mothers-in-law, if it weren't for the sake of these people who have been following her, I am afraid that they would have been sent out long ago.
"Mother Chen, wait a minute, I have something I want to ask you."
Mrs. Chen smiled almost invisibly, and quickly regained her composure.
Yin Meier knew that she was the calmest of the three and the most attentive, so she left her alone to ask about the situation in the countryside, and Mrs. Chen also truthfully told everything she saw and heard in the countryside.
"He's coming too?" Yin Mei'er and the mother-in-law in front of her are not very good, she is pampered at home, where is she willing to have more than one person in charge of her, the mother-in-law in front of her is still knowledgeable, when she thinks that Mrs. Jiang in Mrs. Chen's mouth is a barbaric and domineering country woman, she has a headache.
"Mrs. Jiang wants to come, but I don't want her to come when I look at my uncle's meaning, otherwise I will bring it this time, second miss, you don't have to worry, talk to your uncle about this, he will be considerate of you."
Yin Mei'er felt that there was some truth, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "After coming into contact these days, what kind of person is the Li family?" If she's safe, it's fine, if she's restless......"
"Li Shihao said, no matter where it is convenient, it will not pose a threat to you."
The corners of Yin Meier's mouth rose, and she said proudly: "Of course, she is a country woman, I am the daughter of the Yin family, although I am not as talented as the eldest sister, but I have also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child, and I can also recite poetry against Xianggong, she ...... I'm afraid I don't know a few big characters, right? ”
"Miss don't worry, although the Li family is not a good reason, but she gave birth to a son to her uncle......" Mrs. Chen glanced at Yin Mei'er's belly, and some words were not said explicitly.
"What's wrong with my son? I've already found someone to see this fetus, and it's also a son, so I don't believe that Shixian will let our son not hurt and hurt her son. ”
Mrs. Chen knew that she didn't like to hear it, so she didn't continue the topic, but she still had to remind her of some things, "The second lady's baby must be a son, but ......"
Yin Mei'er said a little impatiently: "Oh, if you have anything to say, you can finish it in one breath." ”
Mrs. Chen nodded her head, "According to the old slave, Second Miss, your biggest threat is not the Li family, nor the boy, but the girl in the small group." ”
"She?"
"That's right."
Yin Mei'er hooked her lips and said disapprerovingly: "A little girl, why be afraid? I'm an elder, she's a junior, and if she wants to live more comfortably in the capital, she has to please me. ”
Mrs. Chen sighed slightly, her second miss was too optimistic, in her opinion, that little group girl was really powerful, but now if she said more, she made the second miss unhappy, so she closed her mouth.
Sure enough, Yin Mei'er didn't want to hear it, "Okay, okay, Mother Chen has worked hard this time, go and rest, this ...... Take it. ”
Yin Meier casually took a gold ring from the jewelry box and threw it to her, and Mrs. Chen thanked her and left.
Jiang Xiaotuan took Jiang Xiaoyue to inquire while walking, and finally touched the kitchen, the cooks basically didn't care much about the two sisters, not to mention preparing things for them, no one even answered when they asked them where the things were, no way, the sisters could only find it in person, and the people in the kitchen stood there or watched coldly, or played and laughed.
Of course, the best food to relieve the heat is mung beans, and cooking porridge with barley has the best effect to cool off the heat, but the most hated thing for the stinky boy is porridge, at this time he is sick, and he is forced to eat, and Jiang Xiaotuan is reluctant.
The little guy loves to eat the mung bean cake she made the most, but unfortunately she only found mung beans in the kitchen, waiting for it to be soaked and beaten into sand, I don't know when.
But this is not difficult for Jiang Xiaotuan, she directly spent five hundred points in the system to exchange for two catties of mung bean paste, and Xiaoyue girl was sent by her to pick petals, and when she came back and saw it, she felt strange, but Jiang Xiaotuan told her that she found it in the kitchen, and she didn't say anything.
The kitchen here is very large, there are seven or eight cooks alone, and many of the Xiaoyue girls with many ingredients don't know each other, and it is natural to find mung bean paste.
Although she eats it herself, the taste is the most important, but Jiang Xiaotuan feels that the quality is also very important, although there is a mold in the system, it is too expensive, and the points she has saved can't be spent on making snacks.
There is no oven here, although she can build a simple version, but Jiang Xiaotuan is afraid that Xiao Chu will be in a hurry, so she directly steamed the mung bean paste on the fire, then put in the petals, added white sugar and kneaded it into a ball and put it in the radish mold, and the beautiful and delicious mung bean cake was seated.
Jiang Xiaoyue praised it again and again after tasting it, Jiang Xiaotuan smiled in his mouth, but his heart was bleeding, five hundred points in exchange for such a little thing, for the sake of his younger brother, it was barely a loss.
Before leaving, Jiang Xiaotuan also took away half of his habits, although the people in the kitchen were unhappy, they didn't dare to say anything, no matter how they said that the sisters were also masters.
On the way back, Jiang Xiaoyue couldn't help but complain to Jiang Xiaotuan that there were too many people in the kitchen, so she watched the two sisters rummage around and didn't help.
When the two went back, Jiang Shixian was already sitting on the edge of the bed, and Li was holding Xiao Chuyi, still worried.
"Eldest sister, what delicious food did you make me?" Xiao Chuyi poked his head out of Li's arms and shouted excitedly.
"I still know how to eat, it's definitely not a big deal." Jiang Xiaoyue deliberately teased him.
Xiao Chuyi has been raised well since he was a child, and he has hardly been sick, so Li is worried at this time.
Jiang Xiaotuan walked to the side of the bed, "Mother, I'll take Chu Yi to eat." ”
Before Li Shi let go, the little guy had already stretched out his arm and hugged Jiang Xiaotuan's neck, "Eldest sister, I saw it, it's my favorite mung bean cake, right?" ”
What is mung bean cake?
I had never heard of it, let alone eaten it, and I couldn't help but look at it, and I saw a few pieces of delicate jasper-like snacks on the porcelain-white plate, and the red petals were decorated with them, which was very tempting.
Xiao Chuyi's mouth is so tricky, he has seen it, and he always says that Xiaotuan girl cooks delicious things, and he has never tasted it after staying at home for so long, and he has always thought that children are exaggerating, but now it seems that just looking at him has an appetite.
After Xiao Chuyi was carried over, he couldn't wait to grab it and eat it, and after only taking a bite, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "It's delicious, the dim sum outside is not as delicious as the eldest sister's cooking." ”
It was hot and hungry just now, so he looked sick and sick, and after eating a few bites at this time, he was also a little more energetic, "Second sister, I want to drink sour plum soup." ”
Sour plum soup? What is this, Jiang Shixian was even more puzzled.
Jiang Xiaoyue glared at him, "You little grinder, you can't see me resting, wait, I'll rush to you." ”
Not long after, Jiang Shixian saw his second daughter bring a bowl of black things, which looked like a soup, but his son drank it deliciously.
Jiang Xiaoyue couldn't help but complain, "Eldest sister, he drank all the sour plum powder we brought, I think he is either sick or hungry." ”
"Hee-hee, this isn't cold, if it's cold, it's delicious." Xiao Chu smiled and burped.
Li Shi saw that he could eat and drink, talk more, and his face recovered, so he relaxed a little.
Jiang Xiaotuan did a lot, Xiao Chu was a little baby when he was hungry, and he was full after eating two pieces, Jiang Shixian stared at the crystal green pastry, salivating for a long time, but he was embarrassed to ask to eat.
Jiang Xiaotuan pretended not to see it, "Mother, you are also hungry, eat quickly first, I'm afraid it will take us some time to eat." ”
Jiang Shixian knew that his eldest daughter was beating him, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
