Chapter 50: Ah Yue makes pastries with her own hands
After dinner.
Lin Yue went downstairs to clean up the plates and chopsticks, and brought them to the kitchen to wash.
Several cooks are still the same as before, in their spare time, they will talk about the people and things around them. This time, they were discussing the matter of the Huang family, who was in charge of the shopkeeper.
Lin Yue also cared about the Huang family, so he listened to it in the kitchen for a while.
One of the cooks said, "...... I knew that Zhao Zhucheng, who married Wan's family, was definitely not a good thing. You see, he gave Chai Hebai to Ma Wanguan, and he was quite happy. But when he sold firewood to our shopkeeper, every time, he didn't receive a penny. Hum. ”
Another cook listened, and was also upset by the shopkeeper's fight, and said:
"That is, since Zhao Zhucheng married the Wan family, he has become as mean as the vicious woman of the Wan family. You see, he came to our inn to sell firewood on weekdays, and the shopkeeper not only gave him money, but also sent him a few Hu cakes to eat. But what about him, he only knows how to collect money and take away the Hu Cake, how have we ever seen him repay the shopkeeper? ”
"Well, don't say anything. Our shopkeeper is so kind, have there been fewer people who have helped? I'm not saying that Zhao Zhucheng accepted the help of the shopkeeper, so he must give something back to the shopkeeper. It's just that he doesn't have a conscience. ”
When the cook was talking, she deliberately looked at Lin Yue standing in the kitchen, as if she was explaining to Lin Yue:
"The inn opened by our shopkeeper doesn't care about sending more things to Zhao Zhucheng. We are talking about this here, just to say that Zhao Zhucheng has been affected by the Wan family in these aspects of dealing with people......"
Lin Yue didn't hear it, and continued to work in the kitchen.
The other cook saw that Lin Yue didn't pay attention to it, so she gave the cook who spoke before a look, she wanted to say, there are Zhao Zhucheng's relatives here, let's wait a while.
Lin Yue didn't hear the chatting of the cooks anymore, so she also knew that they thought she was still in the kitchen, so they didn't continue to chat.
In fact, in the memory left to her by the original owner, the eldest cousin Zhao Zhucheng is not a person who picks the door, nor is he a person who does not know how to repay his kindness. On the contrary, in the memory left by the original owner, the eldest cousin is still a very honest and reliable person. I can honor my elders and think about my brothers.
But she heard these cooks say just now that the eldest cousin had received a lot of delicious food from the Huang family, but he didn't give any gifts to the Huang family.
In the past, she went to her uncle and aunt's house, and she never heard that her eldest cousin had brought them delicious food. It seems that after the eldest cousin married the family, the whole person changed?
Lin Yue silently cleaned up the dinner plates, placed them neatly one by one, and then returned to the guest room on the third floor.
As soon as I returned to the guest room, I saw the snow fox Ah Yue lying in front of the coffee table. When it saw her, it quickly stood up, approached her step by step, and rubbed its forehead against her boots.
Seeing that the snow fox was so well-behaved, Lin Yue couldn't help but reach out and caress the snow fox's forehead, and said with concern:
"Ah Yue, you're back, where is the sixth son?"
As he spoke, Lin Yue looked into the eyes of the snow fox, and a river in Daohe Village came to mind......
Only then did Lin Yue understand that Snow Fox Ah Yue had been on the side of Daohe Village. I came to her this time, maybe I wanted to tell her something.
Snow Fox couldn't speak, but she could use some of the skills she had to see what Snow Fox was thinking.
At this time, it was dark, and Ah Jing and the others might still be in Daohe Village......
Lin Yue didn't have time to think about it, so he took chopsticks and took a piece of chicken wings from the plate on the coffee table and fed it to Snow Fox Ah Yue. saw that the snow fox looked at the door of the inner room, and didn't open his mouth to take the food that Lin Yue gave it.
"Eat, don't be polite." Lin Yue looked at the snow fox with warm eyes and said.
Snow Fox still doesn't eat.
Lin Yue had no choice but to put down the chopsticks, carry the snow fox to the soft couch, and let it rest here.
She changed into a black coarse cloth dress and went downstairs to the kitchen to make pastries. In her first life, she would make pastries by herself, and so would Lu Jingshuo. Sometimes, they will make pastries together to eat, such as making some osmanthus cakes, mung bean cakes and so on.
Today, she wants to make some horseshoe cakes and chrysanthemum cakes and send them to Lu Jingshuo.
Lin Yue found some fresh water chestnuts in the kitchen and peeled and slice them. Boil most of the pot of hot water, wait for the water to boil, then put the water chestnuts in and cook for a few minutes, then take them out and drain the water, and find a larger container to hold the water chestnut flour.
Then use a pot of water to boil the slurry, and pour the horseshoe into the slurry to get the slurry that sinks evenly......
At this time, Lin Yue was the only one in the kitchen, and there were no cooks chatting beside him, but it was quite quiet. It's just that the inn also has the rules of the inn, and people will be sent to check the kitchen every day, for fear that there will be any potential safety hazards.
The Huang family, who is in charge of the shopkeeper, is after all the person who has followed General Yan's I army to the northern Xinjiang and fought against the strong enemy of the northern crossbow, so he attaches more importance to the issue of security than anyone else.
Under normal circumstances, Huang personally comes to inspect the kitchen in the evening and inspects it very carefully.
Lin Yue came to the kitchen to make pastries, and she was also very careful. Put the horseshoe flour in a cloth bag, cut the cane sugar, and set aside......
You can't put too much sucrose, it's too much, I'm afraid that Ah Jing will feel tired after eating it. But she can't put too little, if she puts too little, she is worried that Ah Jing will not be sweet to eat.
So when it comes to putting sugar, she is still extra cautious.
After all, Ah Jing can make pastries by himself, and he is still very particular about eating pastries. If the appearance is not good, Ah Jing will not be willing to take a second look, and if the taste is not good, Ah Jing will not eat it.
When Lin Yue makes a half-food box of horseshoe cake and a half-food box of chrysanthemum cake, it will be early in the morning.
The sound of beating outside the house soon came again, and Lin Yue listened to it, wishing that time could pass faster. When it was dawn, she would be able to go out of the city to deliver pastries to Lu Jingshuo.
However, just waiting in the kitchen is not a problem.
Lin Yue thought about it, but she couldn't be reserved, so she returned to the guest room with the finished pastries. As soon as she returned to the guest room, she went into the inner room and whispered to her brother:
“…… Otherwise, you can go to one of the six sons' entourage to help them come up with ideas so that I can go out of the city......"
"Sister, you want to go out of the city, where do you need to go to them to help you?" A hint of cunning flashed in Lin Heng's eyes, and he leaned close to Lin Yue's ear and said softly:
“…… Do as I say, and no one will stop you. ”
Lin Yue realized that his younger brother was just a little younger, but he was still very cunning. actually asked her to take the folding fan given to him by the sixth prince and tell the soldiers guarding the city that the sixth prince asked her to find him.
In this way, those people will definitely not embarrass her.
Lin Yue didn't ask for the folding fan given by her brother, so she let her brother rest in it, she sat silently on the edge of the bed and took care of her sister. When it was dawn, he walked out of the city with the food box and rushed to Daohe Village.
Originally, I was thinking of bringing Snow Fox Ah Yue with her, but last night, when she made the pastries and returned to the guest room with the pastries, she didn't see the Snow Fox.
I don't know where the snow fox went.
I wonder if it will be hungry if it doesn't eat?
I wonder if it went to look for her last night, did it just want to see her, see her, and leave?
Lin Yue stood by the river and waited for a while, but she didn't see Lu Jingshuo's figure, she was very anxious, but she didn't show it on her face.
I thought to myself, I just waited here for a day, and I had to wait until Ah Jing came over and handed him the pastries in person before going back.
He is in this suburb, and he has to catch those northern crossbow craftsmen, and he can't do it without food.
