At the beginning of the lanterns, Taoyuan Zhai changed its former quietness.

In the front hall, Yufu had already led people to clean up, set up a long table, and laid out cotton mats. Xu Ren, Xu Li, Xu Xin, Rong Zhao, and Xu Li'an, the third girl who was not out of the cabinet in the Xu family's room, and Xu Xiu'an, the sixth girl who was the youngest in the third room, came together. Because Xu Xiao has a family and takes care of the family chores, he rarely attends this kind of junior gathering. In the afternoon, he had already sent someone to report to Xia Wanhua, so Xia Wanhua didn't care.

Xu Ren and Xu Li sat on the tea chair in front of the window, drinking tea and whispering things. Xia Wanhua guessed that it was about Prince Zhang Yi. This kind of thing is enough to cause turmoil in the Great Chen Dynasty. As a first-class famous family in Da Chen, the Xu family will definitely have influence.

Xu Xin teased Xu Xiu'an in the courtyard, and from time to time Xu Xiu'an's sharp shouts and Xu Xin's hearty laughter could be heard.

And Xu Li'an is in the small kitchen directing the servants to prepare the food.

The people of Taoyuanzhai are used to Xu Lian's appearance in the small kitchen. She is good friends with Xia Wanhua, and stays in Taoyuanzhai from time to time, as if the eldest sister is taking care of Xia Wanhua.

Rong Zhao sat next to Xia Wanhua, and the two of them lowered their heads and whispered. Xia Wanhua's occasional embarrassment fell in Xu Li's eyes. Xu Li felt that Xia Wanhua seemed to have been caught.

Isn't that a small trick!

Rong Zhao had already recognized Xia Wanhua. The smell on the cloak was exactly the same as the incense on Xia Wanhua's body. It's cold!

But Rong Zhao didn't mention the cloak at all, he just wanted to tease the little girl. Although I liked it at first sight, that's all. After today, they will go their separate ways. And with his experience in reading people, Xia Wanhua will not take a fancy to his species.

It's almost time, and the kitchenette is moving the food to the front room one after another. But when the banquet was set, the fourth son, Xu Yi, never appeared.

Xia Wanhua sat in the first place, looked at Xu Xin, and asked softly, "Have you notified your fourth brother?" ”

Xu Yi and Xu Xin lived in the same courtyard, and when Xia Wanhua sent someone to inform him in the afternoon, Xu Yi was not there, so he had to entrust Xu Xin to inform Xu Yi of the time of the gathering.

Xu Xin pursed his mouth and raised his eyelids. "He's such an adult, he can't be lost. Maybe where to get something good for Sister Wanhua as a gift. ”

"Oh?" Although Xia Wanhua was a little curious, she didn't ask any more.

But as soon as her words fell, Xu Yi took a steady stride into the front hall.

Xu Xin looked at it, smiled and moved his position away: "It's better to come early than to come by chance!" ”

In terms of physical appearance, Xu Yi is the most like Xu Qingfang, Marquis of Weiyuan. Although Xu Ren and the others have the strong eyes of the Xu family's symbol, only Xu Yi is tall and burly, and he has the same momentum as Xu Qingfang.

Xu Yi grinned and sat down, and pushed a burden to Xia Wanhua with a big grin. "I remember Wanhua said that she likes to eat the peach buns of the Ma family in Qu County, which I just bought back from Qu County. See if it's cool or not, don't go to heat it up. ”

Xia Wanhua's eyes narrowed into a slit, and with a rare girl's bright smile, she winked at Xu Yi mischievously: "Fourth brother really has a heart." I'm going to try it, I've been hungry for a long time. ”

After speaking, she opened three layers of baggage, opened two layers of oilskin paper, tore off a peach bag and put it in her mouth. After tasting it, he sighed contentedly.

"It's still the same taste! I remember when I was a child, my family looked at me tightly and didn't let me eat indiscriminately. Once, my second cousin and I secretly went to the kitchen to eat peach buns to satisfy our hunger. In the end, my second cousin was slapped a dozen times by my grandmother with the handle of a fan. After that, my cousins and cousins had no one to accompany me to the kitchen to steal food. ”

After that, she handed the peach bag to Yufu: "Hurry up and pack it and give it to all the sons and girls to taste." It's still hot and tastes the best. Thank you so much to the fourth brother, the fourth brother really has a heart. ”

"I'm just running errands, so why be so polite." Xu Yi's bronzed face flushed slightly.

Xu Xiu'an, who was sitting in the corner, glanced at the peach bag in front of him and pushed it to Xu Li'an on the side. "Let's eat it for the second sister. The streets are full of peach buns, what is there to be gluttonous. False friendship! ”

Xu Li'an on the side looked indifferent, not showing displeasure at all like others, steadily lifted the chopsticks and tasted them, and then put down the chopsticks.

"The sixth sister is young and has never been to Kunze City, so naturally she doesn't know the peach bag of the Ma family. Back then, it was hard to buy. Generations of the Ma family have been royal chefs, and peach buns are the exclusive secret recipe. The fourth brother was able to ask for this peach bun from the Ma family, and it took a lot of effort to think about it. ”

Xu Xin smiled and picked up a piece and flipped it over in front of his eyes. "It's still the second sister who has insight. If the second sister doesn't say it, I, a layman, really think it's just an ordinary peach bag. ”

The entire Xu family rose up with the help of Xu Qingfang's power. If there was no Xu Qingfang, the entire Xu family would still be doing Orion in the mountains. So when Xu Xiuan heard the word "layman", her face immediately turned red, and her two hands in her sleeves were tightly clasped together.

Rong Zhao, who was sitting on the right side of Xia Wanhua, put down his chopsticks, licked the corners of his lips, and squinted his eyes. "It's different. The peach buns I eat on weekdays are sweet, and I don't like to eat them very much. It's not just sweet. ”

Xu Ren: "Oh? He took a piece and tasted it, then nodded. It's really different, sweet but not greasy, and there is a faint fragrance, and it seems that there is also the fragrance of tea. ”

"It's Lingbei Yuexiang tea." Xia Wanhua looked at Xu Yi. "Thank you so much, Fourth Brother, it's not easy to make these peach buns. Originally, the tea fragrance contained in this peach bag should be the big tea ink fragrance tea in spring. But this is tribute tea, and the Ma family should not have it, so it was replaced with Lingbei Yuexiang tea. ”

"Fifth brother, the one who is really knowledgeable is Wanhua. I said the ingredients in one bite, which has to be admired. Xu Li'an took the chopsticks from the handmaid next to her, and put a piece in front of Xu Li on the opposite side. The third brother should also try it. Although you don't like sweets, this peach bun is really not to be missed. ”

Xu Li took a shallow sip and nodded. "The flavor of Lingbei Yuexiang tea is stronger. If the big tea is made of ink fragrant tea, the tea aroma should be more refreshing. ”

Rong Zhao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, tilted his head and asked Xu Li: "Cousin, have you eaten peach buns made of big tea and ink-flavored tea?" ”

"It's a long story." Xu Li put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. "When I traveled with my mentor in the past, I visited several famous chefs with him. The previous patriarch of the Ma family and my mentor were also old friends, so I was fortunate to taste the peach buns made of big tea and ink fragrant tea. ”

Hearing that Xu Li had traveled all over the world, Rong Zhao became interested, his eyes flashed hot, and he continued to ask: "Has my cousin ever been to Kunze City?" I've always wanted to go to Kunze City and see it. It's a pity that there is no chance. ”
