Chapter 38: The Use of Watermelons

Yan Yue was very satisfied with the first meal she ate after waking up after recovering from her illness, although she was once disturbed by the affection in Yan Xiao's eyes from time to time, but on the whole, Yan Yue was very satisfied with this meal: Evil Emperor, see you in the cave!.

After lunch, the waiting girls served fruit as usual. Yan Yue only glanced at it and was dumbfounded, what is the magic workmanship, it is in front of him. In the fruit bowl on the table are actually three lifelike roses, but if you look closely, they are carved from watermelon, but it is like a chess game with the real rose. With such a beautiful flower, Yan Yue was reluctant to start at all. I just feel that if I raise my hand, I will destroy this wonderful thing. After looking at it for a long time, he remembered and stammered, "You carved this?" ”

Sure enough, the man had a mocking face and a smug face, and proudly announced under Yan Yue's surprised gaze: "Your cooking skills are on par with this king, but can you do this carving?" If this sentence is his imperial brother Wan Yan Ming here, he will definitely blame it mercilessly, because Wan Yan Xiao only learned this carving, that is, carving roses on watermelons.

Wan Yan Xiao waited contentedly, every time Wan Yan Xiao showed this watermelon rose (although the number of displays was very small), it would always win a large number of praises, if there was a woman present, the woman would definitely cast a look of admiration and admiration.

But this time Yan Xiao was disappointed, the little woman was extremely surprised at first, but slowly her eyes became very calm. There was even a little disapproval on her face, and she said slowly: "Watermelon can be cooked, can you?" Watermelon can be beautiful, you know? Did you know that watermelon may also cure diseases? It's amazing to carve two flowers! You won't come too much! ”

Wan Yan Xiao's mouth was so wide opened by thunder that he couldn't speak for a long time. I have to say that Wan Yan Xiao was looking forward to seeing the look of worship in Yan Yue's eyes now appeared in Wan Yan Xiao's eyes. Especially when Wan Yan Xiao heard Yan Yue say that watermelon can still be cooked, Wan Yan Xiao was extremely fascinated. I only felt that almost everything under Yan Yue's hands could be eaten, and it was delicious, and when I thought of the delicious food I had just eaten water chestnut, Yan Xiao became a little stuttered when she spoke again: "Miss Yan, you said that watermelon can also be cooked?" What to cook? Is it okay for you to do it once? ”

After responding to Yan Xiao, it was Yan Yue who yawned very unconsciously. Wan Yan Xiao suddenly had a terrible premonition, and that premonition soon became a reality in front of Wan Yan Xiao's eyes. The little woman got up slowly and yawned again: "This girl has just recovered from a serious illness, and she really has no strength. What's more, her skin is really bad these days, and this girl is not in the mood. ”

Wan Yan Xiao's eyes unceremoniously glanced at the cheeks of the little woman, probably because she had just eaten a hot meal, this little woman's face was white and red, and her skin was so tender that she almost pinched out the water, which can be described by the four words that those swingers often say, "the water color is excellent". But this little woman actually said that her skin was poor, didn't this sentence make most women in the world jump into the well?

"It would be nice if I could make a watermelon mask, maybe in the evening, when the girl is in good spirits, she will make an emerald white jade double silk roll, or melon strip egg drop soup, or watermelon steamed chicken tastes good." Yan Yue slowly sat on the recliner, put her feet on the lazy feet, waited comfortably, and said in Wan Yan Xiao's helpless eyes: "This recliner is good, if the feet on the bottom surface are not horizontal, but designed to be arced, you can shake it around, what a good doctor and crazy concubine: Evil Emperor, see you in the cave!." What a treat it is to lie in a rocking chair and make a face mask. ”

Of course, the chaise longue is good, and there are only two upholstered materials on the chaise longone. One is now spread on the recliner of Wan Yan Ming in the palace, and the other is here in Wan Yan Xiao. When Yan Yue came to Ying Snow City at this time, she fell asleep on the recliner in the palace one night. After Yan Xiao wanted to explain, he felt that the explanation was purely superfluous, and said slowly: "Miss Yan, what preparations do you need to make for this watermelon mask, this king is only afraid that his hands and feet will be clumsy, and he will not meet the girl's requirements." Wan Yan Xiao gritted his teeth and said.

"It's nothing, you can definitely do it, you first cut a slice of watermelon, remove the seeds from it, then mash the flesh of the watermelon, then add half an egg yolk, and finally add flour to it little by little to make it a paste." Yan Yue said simply, but Yan Xiao did it very hard, but the little woman had been lying peacefully on the recliner with her eyes closed and waiting quietly. When Yan Xiao's successful paste-like mask was held in front of Yan Yue for review, Yan Yue issued another order, asking Yan Xiao to cut the white meat in the watermelon skin into thin slices, just like lotus root slices in stir-frying.

Wan Yanxiao himself didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding to do these things. Some are unwilling, some are annoyed, but there is a little joy and a little satisfaction. Although he was abused and called, Wan Yanxiao's heart did not resist such a call at all. It's just that when Yan Xiao cut the white flesh part of the watermelon into the shape that Yan Yue needed, and then walked in front of the little woman, Wan Yan Xiao stayed there in fright.

The little woman applied all the paste-like batter she had just made to her face, what she called a mask. The little woman's face was painted white and not white, red or red, and she couldn't tell how terrible it was, revealing two black holes. This feeling made Wan Yan Xiao suddenly feel like a ghost, because Yan Yue's image was very similar to the image of a ghost on the stage.

"Yan--girl--mother, what are you doing here?" Wan Yan Xiao stuttered a little again, and Wan Yan Xiao found that he would always lose his temper involuntarily in front of Yan Yue.

"Hydrating and whitening, nourishing the skin, what about the thin slices you cut?" Yan Yue replied casually. After taking the cut sheet in Yan Xiao's hand, he slowly put it evenly on his exposed neck one by one, and then put it on the back of his hand.

Wan Yan Xiao stared dumbfounded, this woman is really strange, can she whiten and hydrate by putting these watermelon white flesh on her neck and hands! If you want to whiten and puff some powder, you just need to wash your hands with hydration. Wan Yanxiao wanted to say it, but he didn't say it, for fear that he would be laughed at by this little woman if he said it wrong. But Yan Yue didn't let Wan Yan Xiao be idle at all, and let Wan Yan Xiao put watermelon slices of flesh on the back of his right hand little by little.

After everything was done, the little woman yawned again and said, "I'm going to sleep, Wanyan Xiao, just let the girls come in and help me cover a quilt." ”

After Yan Xiao was embarrassed again, after thinking about it, he finally didn't call the two girls into the house, but brought a futon with his own hands, carefully covered Yan Yue and then withdrew. In Wan Yan Xiao's feeling, the girls can't be allowed to see the image of Yan Yue, otherwise the face of Miss Yan will spread all over Xiao Wang's Mansion at night, and when she left, Wan Yan Xiao repeatedly explained that no one was allowed to enter to disturb Miss Yan's rest.

It was evening when Yan Yue woke up again, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was still Wan Yan Xiao. Hearing Yan Yue's waking up, Wan Yan Xiao quickly put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "The king of hot water has asked the girls to get ready, wash your face when you wake up." And the kind of chair that you said can shake, this king also asked the craftsmen to design, I believe it will be sent to the house in a short time. ”

In such a hot city, Yan Yue suddenly felt a chill all over her body. Thoughts can't help but drift back to the past, that Ling Yuechen's gentleness is unmatched, but in the end, it was all used. When the most beautiful things suddenly go bad, it's hard to believe in the good, as if there's always some dirt behind the good. It can be said that Ling Yuechen successfully left a shadow in Yan Yue's heart, and this shadow made Yan Yue always doubt its authenticity in the face of beautiful things.

"Wan Yan Xiao, I'm in good health, thank you for taking care of me these days. But there is a feast in the world, so I'll make you some watermelon dishes tonight to say goodbye. Yan Yue stood up and said with a smile. As soon as these words came out, Yan Yue saw that the smile on Yan Xiao's face froze there, and it seemed that even the whole person froze there. It's just that Yan Yue pretended not to see anything, washed her face casually, and picked up the mirror on the table as if she had nothing to do and looked left and right, as if she admired the effect of making a mask.

At dinner, Yan Yue rushed directly into the dining room and made two dishes about watermelon, one was watermelon scrambled eggs, and the other was melon strips and egg soup. It's just that these two dishes carefully prepared by Yan Yue did not come in handy, and when Yan Yue made the dishes, she learned that Prince Xiao was suddenly summoned by the emperor and hurriedly entered the palace.

Yan Yue was slightly disappointed, after all, the dishes that were carefully prepared, but no one tasted them, and that feeling was very lost. However, Li Jian's heart was very happy, and he didn't expect that the temporary arrangement of the prince brought blessings to Li Jian, but the watermelon dish that Wanyan Xiao didn't eat fell into Li Jianshu's mouth for the first time.

Tomorrow, get out of here tomorrow! Yan Yue secretly decided!
