Chapter 120: Plain Happiness

People say that the mother-in-law's family is not as good as the mother's family, and you have to be cautious everywhere, even so, it is often a good idea to lose your sister-in-law's wishes. But in Qi Xuan's opinion, in addition to sometimes missing her parents and brothers who are far away in Hangzhou, she has lived a very happy life in the Lin family, and she has never felt that there is anything unsatisfactory. Her father-in-law is a gentle person, and he rarely meddles in the affairs of the family, and his mother-in-law takes care of all affairs. And her mother-in-law was her cousin, and she cared for her as if she were her own daughter. My sister-in-law Zhilan and her sisters are commensurate with each other, and the two have similar temperaments and get along very well. As for the husband Guanyun, it is not to mention. The two of them didn't have much contact when they were in Jiangnan, but they got along day and night along the way, and they also cultivated a strong affection, and after becoming a parent, it was even better like oil in honey. The little couple was in love with each other, and they were often ridiculed by Xiaoguan Feng, who was not salty or light.

Zhan Shaofeng still lives in Lin Mansion, but now that his identity is different, he naturally can't live in Lanyuan anymore. Mrs. Lin specially settled him in Baiyuan, next to Songyuan, where Guanfeng lived. This time Coke broke Xiaoguanfeng, and pestered Zhan Shaofeng to teach him martial arts all day long. Under Zhan Shaofeng's guidance, there has been a lot of progress in just a few days. Qi Xuan complained that this kid was really blind, but Zhilan just smiled and pursed her lips. Since her brother got married, Qi Xuan got married, and Zhan Shaofeng also came back, the most important relatives in her life have all gathered, and they are all close at hand. Looking at the peace of mind and relief of her parents-in-law, the sweet love between her brother and Qi Xuan after marriage, the non-stop bickering between Guanfeng and Qi Xuan, and the heroic appearance of Zhan Shaofeng practicing martial arts and practicing swords, Zhilan felt that these were her little happiness. How good it would be if such a complete life could flow for a long time.

On this day, because Mrs. Lin casually said, "Xiangdezhai's black plum cake is really good", Qi Xuan made up her mind to learn to make the black plum cake and make it for her mother-in-law to eat. She just learned it herself, but she wanted to bring Zhilan to observe and learn together. Zhilan was reluctant at first, but then she thought that she could eat delicious black plum cakes, why not? So he followed Qi Xuan in the kitchen.

In fact, this black plum cake is not difficult to make, even the two of them who have never cooked before can make it according to the recipe, but it just takes some time. They first boiled the mung bean in boiling water, scooped out the floating skin little by little with a colander, and so on for an hour. Then, under the guidance of the cook Aunt Li, I put the peeled mung beans in a bowl, add water and rock sugar, take the steamer and steam it for another two hours, and then take it out and wrap it in a cloth to filter out the water. In this way, a simple mung bean paste is made. The two of them took a sip of the spoon and took one bite after another, so happy that they didn't know what to do.

The cook had already boiled the water, and the black plum was also soaked, and seeing that the two of them were intoxicated, she finally couldn't help but say, "Uh...... Young grandma, miss, this bean paste is delicious, yes, but if you taste it like this, you will be gone. Let's hurry up and do the next one. ”

The two of them were a little embarrassed to say this, and hurriedly put down the spoon and said, "What Aunt Li said is, let's start." ”

So the cook took out the black plum that had already been soaked and taught Qi Xuan to cut it into small cubes. Zhilan picked up a piece and tasted it, and suddenly felt sweet and sour, and her mouth was full of relish.

At this moment, Guanfeng suddenly broke into the kitchen with a long sword on his back, and when he came in, he asked, "Sister, where has Brother Feng gone?" ”

Zhilan was surprised: "I don't know." What's wrong? ”

"Oh? How could my sister not know? Doesn't Brother Feng go to see you every day? Guanfeng asked.

"Go, go!" Zhilan blushed and said, "What do children know!" What does it matter to me where he goes. How would I know? ”

Qi Xuan, who was on the side, said with a smile while sprinkling mung bean paste in the wooden steaming frame: "This, I heard your brother say it." ”

"What did you say?" Zhilan immediately asked.

"Before your brother left this morning, he mentioned that yesterday a young man received an invitation from the Liu family and invited him to Jixian Building to talk about it, presumably he was going to the banquet today." Qi Xuan spread the bean paste evenly, sprinkled it with Wumedin, looked up and asked Zhilan, "Speaking of which, which is this Liu family?" Could it be the imperial businessman who has fought to the death with the Zhan family in the past two years? ”

"I don't know." Zhilan frowned and shook her head, but she also felt in her heart that Zhan Shaofeng was going to see Liu Muzhi. Although there is no shortage of businessmen surnamed Liu in the capital, I am afraid that the only one who can do business with the Zhan family is the Liu family. Moreover, she remembered what Zhan Shaofeng had said that night. Listening to what he meant, it seemed that he was going to take some action against the Liu family.

Thinking of this, Zhilan's heart was suddenly full of worry. It's not that she can't trust Zhan Shaofeng, it's just that she ...... After all, the Liu family is not so easy to deal with, and their own homes are densely guarded, otherwise the thrush will not be difficult to progress all the time.

"My sister is upset." Guanfeng stood beside Qi Xuan and said while watching her make cakes.

Qi Xuan didn't raise her head, just focused on sprinkling sugar on the pastry, and asked casually, "Yo-how do you see that?" ”

Guan Feng held the sword in his arms and said solemnly: "Just like my brother has to say hello to your sister-in-law in advance wherever he goes, my sister must be Qi Feng's brother went out without saying a word to her in advance." ”

"Flutter", the cook on the side couldn't help but laugh first.

Zhilan grabbed some Umeedin from the chopping board and stuffed it into the wind viewing mouth, and his little face was suddenly wrinkled together with sourness. "Call you nonsense!" Zhilan glared at him angrily and said.

At this time, Qi Xuan's pastry was ready, but it was still a large piece. The cook stepped forward to help her cut the whole piece into small angular squares with a knife, and then removed the wooden frame, put it on a plate, and a plate of black plum cake with a shape was made.

"It's actually made! It looks not much different from Xiangdezhai's! Qi Xuan clapped her hands and smiled happily.

Zhilan stretched out her hand and was about to take one to taste, but when she saw Guanfeng suddenly turn her head and look outside, she immediately shouted, "Brother Feng is back!" With that, he ran out cheerfully with his sword. Leaving Zhilan and Qi Xuan looking at each other in the house, I don't know when this kid's ear power has become so good.

I heard that the kid outside was still flatteringly shouting: "Brother Feng, my sister made black plum cake for you to eat!" Come on, come on! ”
