Chapter Twenty-Four: Stunned Again
Li Yi handed the wrapped half of the wonton to Xiao Cui and asked her to send it to the old lady.
I took Xiaohong to see Chen's mother.
This is the first time she has come to Chen's mother's residence after crossing over.
The furnishings in the house look very regular, mostly symmetrically distributed, and obsessive-compulsive disorder will be very comfortable. The details can see the elegance of the owner. Chen's mother doesn't seem to like incense, and there is only a faint smell of flowers in the house.
She saw the second brother of the original owner sitting on the couch reading a book, so she walked over and sat opposite him.
"What kind of book did the second brother read?" Li Yi opened his mouth to talk.
Chen Xiaodong looked up from the book and did not answer her question. kept staring at Li Yi without blinking his eyes. It made Li Yi's heart furious.
Xiaohong couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but remind aloud: "How can the second young master act like he doesn't know Miss?" ”
"Guess who I saw today?" He leaned over and lowered his voice, looking mysterious.
"Hmm...... Let me think about it. Seeing his serious appearance, Li Yi couldn't help but tease him, "Could it be that you secretly ran to see your future second sister-in-law?" Hahaha. ”
Chen Xiaodong didn't laugh. He frowned: "So stupid, how can you be worthy of Brother Zhao?" ”
Li Yi was confused, doesn't this person like to laugh the most on weekdays? What's going on today?
"Today, the eldest brother took me to meet Brother Zhao. Sure enough, heaven and man. ”
Eldest brother? Brother Zhao? Is that Zhao Tian who can artificial respiration? Why are the two brothers full of praise for him? What kind of magic is this person all about? Li Yi couldn't help but wonder if he had the aura of a protagonist that made everyone like him.
Li Yi pretended to just remember who "Brother Zhao" was, lowered her head and made a shy appearance, and couldn't help complaining in her heart.
"I don't think you have anything to praise you except for your good looks. How can you be worthy of Brother Zhao? ”
She raised her head and pulled the corners of her mouth to smirk at him: "If you say it again, I will tell my mother that you mentioned foreign men to me!" Give me back the fan with the cloud pendant! ”
Chen Xiaodong seconded: "Good Yun'er, didn't you misunderstand your mother by talking about these two things together?" Hehe. My brother didn't notice it for a while, and said something that hurt you, and I made amends to you here. You don't care about the villain, don't be in front of your mother. ”
"What can't you tell me?" As soon as Chen's mother entered the door, she heard her son's words and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Mother" both of them rose from the couch.
Li Yi walked up to Chen's mother and held her arm: "Sit down and rest." ”
Squinted at the open-mouthed man: "I'm going to say?" ”
"Don't don't, little sister, the second brother is wrong."
"I'm nothing but pretty?"
"Not only beautiful, but also generous, dignified, gentle, virtuous, elegant, noble"
"Humph! That's pretty much it. ”
"Mother, Yun'er made a new meal today, can you taste it and taste it?"
The expressions of the two of them squeezing their eyebrows were fully seen by Chen's mother. With such a tacit understanding between brother and sister, she will only be happy. Just follow the daughter's daughter's wishes and don't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked what he was going to do for dinner.
Li Yi asked the wontons to be served first.
The wontons float in the soup, white and lovely.
"What is this?"
"It's ravioli. Taste it. ”
"It tastes very good, but it's not very enjoyable to eat." Second Brother Chen ate two and took the lead in expressing his opinion.
Chen's mother had just finished eating one at this time: "Full of umami." It is also comfortable to eat. ”
Seeing that the two did not reject it, Li Yi ordered someone to bring the dumplings to the table. The dumplings were filled to the brim.
Second Brother Chen was addicted after eating one. He began to bury his head in hard work.
Chen's mother finished eating one and continued to eat wontons. Li Yi hurriedly asked her if she didn't like it.
"It's not that I don't like it. It tastes good. It's just that the filling is leek, so don't eat more. ”
Li Yi was puzzled.
"Women should not eat more foods like onions, garlic, and leeks. The smell is too strong. ”
Li Yi probably understood what she meant, wouldn't it be nice to rinse her mouth after eating? Seeing that Chen's mother didn't like it, she was no longer reluctant. accompanied her to eat wontons.
The second brother specialized in dumplings on the side, and he ate most of the plate of dumplings before he put down his chopsticks satisfied. Only then did he remember to ask the name: "How is this wonton different from the one he just arrived?" ”
"It's not a ravioli, it's called dumplings"
"Why haven't I eaten before?" The second brother has the meaning of hating the dumplings when they see each other.
"I saw how it was done on the recipe given by my mother." Li Yi hurriedly found cover for herself.
The second brother looked at Chen's mother suspiciously: "Recipes? "How come he'd never heard of it?
Mother Chen put down the bowl in her hand and explained: "The recipe is circulated in the palace. Last year, the prince gave each official in Beijing a cookbook and told them to go home and study it. Your father gave me the book. ”
So, this cookbook is not in circulation yet? It should also be, how dare the things given by the royal reward be given to outsiders at will? These eunuch families may have studied the recipes they received, but they were not promoted......
That's right! I study these, and they can only be promoted within the scope of the Chen Mansion. If the people of the Chen Mansion didn't spread it to the outside world, wouldn't all these things she did be in vain?
Didn't the system take this into account when assigning tasks to itself? No way! It must have something to hide from itself!
Her appetite has been satisfied, not only her mood has become better, but even her brain has become smarter, this kind of person who eats delicious food and everything goes smoothly, there is a very apt word to describe it in modern times: "foodie!" ”
"It's such a delicious thing, you have to let the people in the big kitchen learn how to make it." After the second brother Chen finished speaking, he looked at Chen's mother.
Mother Chen smiled helplessly at him: "Why didn't I find out that you love food so much before!" Tomorrow, let someone from the big kitchen come and ask your sister for advice. ”
"Don't!" Li Yi hurriedly stopped. She didn't want to be so high-profile. "My daughter can do these two things, and most of them rely on Chef Chen. After all, she is the professional. The daughter is just a name. It would be more appropriate for her to teach the people in the big kitchen. ”
Mother Chen naturally would not object.
When Chef Chen received the news, she couldn't help but feel proud: "Usually, those people in the big kitchen are all arrogant and look at people with their nostrils. It's also difficult to find them to get some ingredients, and you have to say a lot of good things yourself. Now it was finally her turn to raise her eyebrows.
Just as Li Yi was about to get up and go back to the room, Second Brother Chen suddenly asked, "How many dishes are there in this recipe?" ”
made Chen's mother laugh angrily.
Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, the second brother is really his bosom friend. However, at this time, she was worried about finding the system to settle accounts, and she had no intention of continuing to communicate with her "bosom friend".
Mother Chen saw Li Yi's resignation on her face, but she was tired of cooking. suddenly felt distressed about her daughter, and urged the two to go back to the room.
The brother and sister walked to the door of Chen's mother's house, and when they were about to separate, Second Brother Chen said in a low voice: "You still have other advantages." provoked Li Yi's good impression that he had just established as a fellow food lover, and cleared it again.
Li Yi, who returned to the room, was still angry.
Sweating in the kitchen in the afternoon, coupled with irritability, the discomfort on her body was doubled, and she couldn't help but want to take a shower.
Since she was going to take a bath, the water she had prepared now was definitely not enough, so Xiaocui went out and told Xiaoqing Xiaolan to prepare more water. She was taken aback to see that the door to her room was not closed. I went back to my room and took a closer look.
Thinking that Chen Xiaoyun still had to take a bath, he didn't delay much in the room. Hurriedly went to Chen Xiaoyun's room.
Tonight is Xiaocui's night, waiting for Chen Xiaoyun to take a bath, and Xiaohong will go back to the room.
After Li Yi took a bath, her body relaxed a lot. She lay down on the bed, and when Xiaocui returned to the collapse, she was ready to find the system to settle accounts.
She wanted to turn her head to look at Xiao Cui's position, but found that her body couldn't move again. It feels so familiar, it's exactly like yesterday.
"It's meowing, it's stunned again."
