After Rui Shuang sent the old woman out, Cui'er took out the dishes, and Yiyi said with a smile: "I originally thought that Mrs. had ill intentions and sent the dishes over with ulterior motives, but now it seems that the young ladies and young masters of each courtyard have sent another meal." It seems that we are overhearted. ”

Cui'er took out the dishes one by one, the first one was jade flour fragrant glutinous rice balls, the second one was crab paste oil fragrant powder balls, and the third one was a plate of red fragrant jade flour cake.

The cake and crab fragrant balls are very fragrant, especially the crab paste oil fragrant powder balls, the fragrance is greasy, lingering on the tip of the nose, making people suddenly want to pull up and can't avoid it.

Seeing that this dish was very tempting, Yujun pointed to the crab meatballs with great anticipation and said with a smile: "Give me a taste of those meatballs." ”

Cui'er followed her words, added a round and greasy crab fragrant ball with chopsticks, and put it on the plate in front of Yujun, Yujun picked up the chopsticks and put them in her mouth, only biting it gently, and suddenly the balls broke, and the pink and thin crab paste and crab oil flowed into the mouth at once, and the fragrance was scattered, from the tongue to the lungs, all of which were oily and fragrant.

Yujun closed her eyes and couldn't help but let out a soft "um".

Seeing that Yujun enjoyed it so much, Cui'er couldn't help but smile and said, "What a delicious thing, Miss actually likes it so much." I don't believe how good this stuff is. Can it be better than the meal made in the small kitchen of Mingxin Xiaozhu? The young lady has never indulged in the dishes from the small kitchen of Mingxin Xiaozhu. ”

Crab fragrance, oil fragrance, and a hint of vanilla smell overflowing between the lips and teeth, Yujun is still unfinished, still in the aftertaste, hearing the words, he opened his eyes, a pair of Yingying eyes are full of satisfaction and enjoyment, and then raised his eyes to look at Cui'er, and said: "This thing in the small kitchen of Bitaoyuan is not bad." If you don't believe it, try it yourself. ”

Yu Jun said, ordered Ah Lian, Rui Shuang, Cai Zhu Cai Xiu and Cui'er to sit around the octagonal square table, and ordered: "This dish tastes very good, you all taste the taste." ”

Ah Lian said: "How can the slave and the young lady eat together." ”

Yu Jun shook her head when she heard this, and a few strands of pink tassels hung down from the hairpin in her bun and swayed back and forth slightly.

Seeing Yujun shaking her head, Cui'er reached out and stuffed the wooden chopsticks into Ah Lian's hand, and said, "Eating in your own yard, as long as the young lady opens her mouth, then there is no rule or inconsistency." ”

Ah Lian blushed and nodded.

The five maids reached out together and picked up a crab ball to eat.

"How's it going, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious."

Yujun said with a smile: "It's delicious, I asked the maids in Mingxin's small kitchen to make this dish too." ”

Cui'er excitedly proposed: "Miss, if it's cold today, these dishes won't be easy to spoil if they are placed." It's better to leave a crab ball, a few pastries, and keep Ming'er for Mian'er Pan'er and them to take back to the small kitchen, and ask the people in the small kitchen to study and study how these meals are made, with a few flavors, how to make them so delicious. ”

Yujun nodded: "You're right. ”

It has not snowed for a few days outside, but there is no cold wind, and the winter velvet grass outside the corridor outside the main hall has withered, especially when I look up, the pear trees and peach trees have withered, and only the dead branches are shaking.

Especially the pear tree, the pear tree in the yard is not tall, compared to the thick peach tree, the branches are more slender, the trunk is weak, through the curtain of the main house Zhumen half-rolled, you can see the thick peach tree hidden behind the pillars of the corridor, the trunk is slanted, a thick trunk, scattered several slender branches.

Because the wind is stronger than usual this winter, most of the small branches that grow on the trunks of the trees cannot withstand the cold wind.

There was not a single leaf on several trees, and beyond the bare branches, all I saw was a blue-gray moon cave door, which was even more lonely.

Seeing such a distant and quiet scenery, Yujun only felt silent in her heart.

Cui Errui saw that she suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and stopped eating, thinking that she had stayed up too late these days, was in a bad mood, and was too lazy to eat again, so she didn't urge her, just lowered her head to clean up the dishes and jingle them.

Caixiu got up and added two pieces of refined charcoal to the copper-colored charcoal basin with two rolls of flat and long pink lotus monomorphic drawings on the side, the charcoal fire was more enthusiastic, and the main hall was warmer.

Seeing Yujun yawning, Cui'er hurriedly said: "Miss is busy embroidering these days, and she sleeps late at night, so it's better to eat enough at this moment and go to the back room to sleep." The slave maid went to make the bed for the young lady and put the soup woman? ”

Yujun got up, stretched, shook her head and said, "It's not necessary." These days are very leisurely, and they have raised people to be lazy. ”

Yu Jun said, stretched out his hand and pointed to the peach and pear trees outside the corridor, and said: "Those two trees are swaying by the wind, it looks pitiful, why don't we find some hay to tie the stump and the branches and trunks with hay as in previous years." I think there will be heavy snow to fall around the end of the festival this year. At that time, it was snowing heavily, and the snow was estimated to flood the roots of the trees, and if the roots rotted, the trees would die, and they would not be able to bear peaches and pears next year, and they would have to find someone to move the trees. ”

Cui'er said, "In this case, then we will use hay and hemp rope from the kitchen, just like last year." ”

"That's right, I'm tired of being in the house, so you go with me to the kitchenette and find the hay and hemp rope."

"Okay."

Yujun put on a cloak, changed into a pair of sheepskin boots, and the master and servant walked out of the main hall together, out of the moon cave gate, walked to the outer room, out of the peach courtyard, and went straight to Mingxin Xiaozhu.

"Mother, are you still cold?" Yuhu was teary-eyed, but she was afraid that Aunt Ruan would be sad when she heard it, so she had to hold back her crying and keep covering the quilt for Aunt Ruan.

The red and pink sets of double-layer quilts on the couch were covered with three layers, and Aunt Ruan was like a thin leaf, but Aunt Ruan still couldn't feel warm.

I just kept shaking, curled up my slender body in the quilt, and kept shouting "cold", "so cold." ”

"Auntie,"

"Master."

"Go quickly, go and put in a few more charcoal pots, and add more charcoal." Yuhu kept commanding, in a hurry, he was sweating profusely, and his vest was sticky, and he only took off his outer robe, and he still felt hot.

"Back to Miss, the refined charcoal in our yard has a share every month, and the monthly share is only thirty catties. Right now, there aren't many charcoal fires available. It is estimated that there is only half a catty left, and I use it at the moment, but I won't have to use it the day after tomorrow. ”

Yuhu listened to Cracked Silk's reply, then hurriedly got up, turned around and walked to the outer hall, and said in a low voice: "I'll go to Bitaoyuan to find Madame." ”
