Chapter 13: Celestial Pepper
The clogs under Su's skirt clattered, and he stepped in with a food box.
"Little brother, you haven't eaten yet, I've made you some dishes."
Xiao Tingchen turned the pair of walnut flowers, and slowly got up and sat down at the round table.
Su Jiu opened the food box and took out a plate of fresh and tender side dishes, "This is the tender maran head I picked in the small garden, which has been astringent with boiling water, mixed with sugar, salt and balsamic vinegar, and poured sesame oil, it is very fresh." ”
She brought out another plate of spring bamboo shoots and roasted pork, "I saw that there were diced pork in the dishes sent by the two sisters, so I dug up some spring bamboo shoots and fried them together." The little brother can't eat greasy, just eat some fresh bamboo shoots. ”
Xiao Tingchen stared at the somewhat familiar bamboo shoots on the plate, and smiled very gently, "My fox baby is really diligent and ......."
As he spoke, the sound of the disc in his hand was inexplicably stunning.
Su Jiu didn't notice his strangeness, and happily took out the last soup, "Ulva meatballs and spring bamboo shoots soup!" ”
The soup is served in a white porcelain soup bowl, the lettuce is slender and dark green, the meatballs are delicate and clear, the bamboo shoots are fresh and green, and the color of the soup is extremely delicious.
Xiao Tingchen was a little interested in the lettuce, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and fished out a few leaves of the lettuce to taste.
The entrance of the lettuce is smooth and slightly elastic, and under the fine tasting, you can slowly feel the fragrance and sweetness that gradually spreads between the lips and teeth.
It's a taste of spring that is refreshing.
"Dongpo laymen have a saying, 'If you ask Sanwu about victory, it is not only a thousand miles of soup'." Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows, "Today I was fortunate to taste the freshness of this lettuce under my sister's hands." ”
"'Whoever pities the old mountain and returns to the dream, thousands of miles of Ulva soup slips'......" Su Jiu tilted his little head, and his dimples were deep, "I see that there are still a lot of tender Ulva in the pond, and when I wait for Ming'er, I will make a good Ulva soup for my little brother." In a few days, when Ye Er is old, she won't be able to eat it. ”
At this time, the spring sun is just right, spilling in through the window lattice, and the room is full of cypress fragrance.
Xiao Tingchen coiled the pair of black flowers, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, "My sister is very knowledgeable." ”
A little girl who came out of the mountains actually understands Xin You'an.
Rare
Rare.
Su Jiu smiled shyly, "Little brother is willing to let me study in your study, so as not to waste my thoughts on cooking this lettuce." ”
She'd already circled the courtyard.
The main house is the living room of the little brother, the left wing room is where Liu's mother and the maids live, and the right row is the bedroom of the little maids.
In the back garden is the abandoned kitchen.
Across the pond from the small kitchen, is the little brother's study.
Xiao Tingchen coiled the walnuts slowly and methodically, "'Whoever pities the old mountain and returns to his dream, thousands of miles of ulva slippery.'" The whole Songjiang is a tree, and the inspection can speak of ducks. The old people are happy. Drunk with double oranges, Jin Yuan woke up when he fell to the ground. Changxi Liu Lang was right away, willing to listen to poetry and books. Whoever is romantic with his uncle will directly press Cao Liu. Look more at the career of the prince and marquis, and live up to his life's learning. Leave the sorrow and timid......'"
He stopped abruptly, as if he was questioning Su Jiu's knowledge, and looked at her with a smile.
Su Jiu raised his little head and said crisply: "I am sad and timid." After sending the king back, write down the tea after boiling fragrant snow ......"
Xiao Tingchen smiled slightly, and threw out a small thing casually.
Su Jiu caught it and saw that it was a brass key strung with a red string.
Her eyes lit up, "This is ...... The key to the library? ”
Xiao Tingchen sat crookedly, his curved peach blossom eyes adding affection, "After lunch, I want to go to the library to read, remember to make a good pot of tea." ”
"Yes!"
Su Jiu knew that this was the meaning of the little brother allowing her to enter and leave the study building freely, so he immediately smiled and bent his eyebrows and left happily.
The book pavilion built by the water in the back garden is a delicate two-story wooden building.
The two sides of the small building are embedded with a pair of rosewood couplets, one side is carved with "the world is flowing with flowing water", and one side is carved with "a dream floats".
There is a bit of a sense that the worldly master is indifferent to fame and fortune.
Su Jiu took the key to open the fan, and saw that the furnishings inside were elegant and the fragrance of books was strong.
She walked around the building with envy before going up the wooden staircase to the second floor.
There are piles of ancient books on the second floor, and Xiao Tingchen's book case is scattered in the middle.
She saw that the bookcase was a little messy, so she was patient and carefully cleaned up the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, scrolls, calligraphy and paintings on it.
She always remembered that Xiao Tingchen asked her to make tea, and when she was carefully looking for tea utensils, she found a set of dusty incense-making utensils in the corner of the second floor.
