Chapter 123: Dishes
famished look
Whether Lu Siyi's marriage is scheduled for October, or in the capital, but Lu Siwei is still so reluctant, not to mention An Qi's departure, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he will not come back for ten or eight years.
From this and that, Lu Siwei can empathize with An Chi even more, so his heart is soft and he is comforted by good words.
"When the north is calm, maybe Sister An will be able to return to Beijing with King Wei? Be relieved, too. ”
But even Lu Siwei himself felt that what he said was dry, and the three girls of the An family looked much more negative on their faces because of this incident, and the haze in their hearts that had arisen because of their free days had dissipated, and they were even more embarrassed.
happened to be on the table, and the maid came over to say goodbye, Lu Siwei hurriedly got up and went to the dining room to eat together.
After lunch, Lu Siwei deliberately made up for the gaffe just now, and said with a smile, "Your family's osmanthus brine duck is really good, tender and delicious, our chef's dish is not authentic, there is always a strange smell, I go to other people's houses to eat this dish on weekdays, and I also feel that it is average, and it is difficult for your family to make it delicious." ”
Lu Siwei thought carefully as he spoke, "Eat this dish...... It's kind of like the taste I've eaten in the palace. ”
"That was a few years ago, my mother led me into the palace to see my aunt, who knew that when I happened to meet the Queen Mother, there was this osmanthus brine duck."
"I didn't like this dish before, I always thought it was sweet and sour, spicy and salty...... I can't tell the strange taste, but I liked it as soon as I ate it that time, who knows that I can't make this taste outside, I haven't eaten it for a long time. ”
"This dish is not a hassle to make, and the ingredients are just a duck, relying on the skills of this chef, I knew that there was such a good chef in your house, I should have come as a guest earlier!"
Lu Siwei's words were half serious, and half were deliberate.
She knew that An Cheng had good intentions to invite her to her house as a guest, but because she couldn't explain it, she picked on the hidden pain of others, which really shouldn't be.
An Cheng naturally didn't know what she was thinking, and when she heard Lu Siwei say this, she remembered the reason, and explained with a smile, "This cook still married with my mother, and she was originally the one who served the county lord of Feng'an. ”
"Perhaps...... It was the cook who had learned a little bit of craftsmanship with the Queen Mother, so that she could make a similar taste. ”
The Queen Mother and the Lord of Feng'an County are close friends in the boudoir and are well known.
"If Sister Lu likes it, I'll ask the cook to write the recipe for you."
Lu Siwei was not polite, and nodded generously, "That's fine." ”
Fu laughed again, "It's already abrupt for me to be a guest this suddenly, and I'm really embarrassed to even eat and take." ”
An Cheng said lightly, but Lu Siwei knew in his heart that the chefs of each mansion had their own skills that were not passed on, not to mention that this might still come from the palace.
If it is not a serious gift, it is not easy to take someone's unique secret recipe for nothing.
"It's better than this...... The chef in my family, the craftsmanship next to her is only general, but a soufflé mille-feuille, which is very good. ”
"The former went in to give the queen mother to eat, and the queen mother also said okay, when I go back, I will bring this recipe to you."
An Cheng and Lu Siwei were not good friends, they had no contact before, and they could understand Lu Siwei's refusal to take advantage of them in vain, so they accepted it calmly, "There is Sister Lao Lu." ”
Although Lu Siwei likes to live a quiet and casual life like An Jia, she can't stay for a long time, because of her sister's affairs, her mother wiped her tears when she saw the sky, and she didn't want to stay out longer.
After another conversation, he got up and took his leave.
After sending Lu Siwei away, An Chi looked at An Shu and An Cheng with a smile, "The two younger sisters have become busy people since they went to the female school Zhenzhen, I'm okay, I can see you at night." ”
"It's the tenth sister, I'm afraid I haven't seen my sisters for a few days, and I'm still thinking about you while eating at my grandmother's this morning."
"Pointing to a begonia roll and saying that this is the ninth sister's favorite food, my grandmother looked funny, so she told me that if you see the two younger sisters, remind me to go and see the tenth sister, you are very worried."
Since An Shu and An Cheng went to the women's school, they got up early every day, and the Shen family did not allow the two of them to go into the main room in the morning to ask for peace, for fear of disturbing Mrs. An's rest, so they all left after saying hello in the courtyard.
In this way, nature is staggered with Anchi Anmei, who greets him normally every day.
An Chi is fine, but An Mei sleeps early at night, so naturally he doesn't see much of him, so he should go and see it.
An Shu's temperament, when she thought about it, she was going to do it, so she went back to change her homely clothes and went to Aunt Zhou's Zhilu Pavilion with An Cheng.
Originally, An Mei was supposed to move to the Shufen Pavilion next to it, but there was an incident with An Bin in the first month, so An Mei was sick again, so it was delayed.
The Shen family is now in charge of his dowry, the property of the big house and the second room, the dowry of the Wei family, and the things in the public school...... I was busy and didn't have the heart to rush to let An Mei move out.
Aunt Zhou couldn't think of it, and Shen couldn't think of it.
came and went, and An Mei still lived with Aunt Zhou.
It was also time for An Shu and An Cheng to come, An Mei had just woken up, and she was making a fuss about wanting to eat Babao chicken at night.
Aunt Zhou shouldn't, An Mei's milk voice is milky but full of reason, Aunt Zhou is full of anger and can't say An Mei, the two of them are arguing with each other, and the surrounding maids are not strange and purse their lips and smile to see the excitement.
An Shu An Cheng heard movement as soon as she entered the courtyard, and the maid guarding the door saw the two of them hurriedly passing the word, Aunt Zhou heard it, and hurried out to greet her, smiling bitterly and rubbing her brows.
"The two girls are here, just in time, so I persuade your ten sisters...... This kid ...... I don't know who my temper is, and when I talk about it, I can't get into it! ”
An Cheng also felt funny when he heard it...... I don't know who I followed...... Isn't it just with Aunt Zhou?
An Shu couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the matter?" All I heard was the Eight Treasure Chickens......"
"Isn't that what it's for?" Aunt Zhou complained neatly while letting the maid serve tea, "Now that the eighth young master is not in the house, Sister Li often comes to me when she has nothing to do." ”
"That day, she saw that Sister Mei'er was not fragrant when she ate, so she asked the cook to add this, and Sister Mei liked it, and she wanted to eat it when she saw Tian'er."
"But didn't Sister Mei get sick two days ago? The doctor said to eat and drink cleaner. ”
"The Babao chicken is both oil and glutinous rice, I was afraid that she would not digest it, so I cut her off for a few days, the first few days were fine, but in the past two days, somehow, it has made trouble again."
"I have to eat this ...... today"
Aunt Zhou said while An Cheng calculated in her heart...... This sister Mei is sick...... That was more than a month ago.
