Chapter 3 3 7 Old News Record
Jin Niang squatted to clean up the grass carp, glanced at Shun Yu secretly, and she suddenly laughed: "The gentleman is far away from cooking, this master seems to cook on the fire." ”
Shun Yu glanced at her lightly: "You were also a wealthy lady from an official family, don't you also wash your hands and make soup at this time?" ”
Jin Niang was stunned, and her tone was difficult to describe: "Life is often unsatisfactory, but it is no different from others, and it is good to know it." “
She stood up, pressed the cheeks of the grass carp to the board, made two shallow cuts and set aside, and then cut the pork into fat and thin pieces, and threw it all into a pot of boiling water to blanch.
Shun Yu began to peel the garlic cloves, looked up and saw Jin Niang standing slender in front of the stove, the expression on her face was hazy, and after a while, she picked up the spoon and scooped up the meat pieces and put them in the copper basin, filtered them with water, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "This master is staying in Yingtianfu?" “
Seeing that Shun Yu's jaw replied yes, she was silent and asked again: "Have you seen the five girls of the Tang family in the past few days?" “
Shun Yu was a little surprised, and replied quietly: "Naturally, I have seen it, and I fought with Commander Shen." Raising the back of his hand to show her: "They are fine, but I was injured by Miss Tang." “
Jin Niang didn't say much, just pursed her lips and smiled, wiped the wet stains on her hands, took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to her: "You give this to her, and by the way, let her come to see me." ”
Shun Yu wiped her hands, took the purse and looked at it carefully, it was embroidered with a pair of lotus, somehow, there was a strange feeling in a flash, she said: "How did you recognize Miss Tang?" ”
Maybe it's because the fireworks in the kitchen are easier to soften the woman's heart, that Jin Niang bowed her head and lowered her neck to dismantle the duck, and finally opened her mouth: "It's an old acquaintance, I knew it in the capital, and often came and went, I thought they left Beijing first and then cut off the news, and then I followed my father to this place, and I met again by coincidence." ”
Shun Yu laughed and said, "Isn't it her who wants to send a lover to you?" "Ordinary single women in the boudoir will not embroider and embroider such drawings as lotus mandarin ducks.
Jin Niang only cared about filling a bowl of duck cuts and stomps, lifted the lid of the pot, and put it on the drawer to steam it.
Shun Yuquan said as if she hadn't heard it clearly: "If you don't say that I am also Zhaozhao, Miss Tang is married to Lord Shen so far, and the world knows that Lord Shen is here this time, it can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can Miss Tang let it go." ”
Jin Niang bent her lips coldly: "As the saying goes, the parties are confused, and the bystanders are clear, but I say that people in this world are fascinated by utilitarianism, and they all become blind, just because of Lord Shen's high position, it seems that all the girls in the world want to marry him, which is too high." ”
"Well, that makes perfect sense." Shun Yu praised it from the bottom of her heart, and saw that she picked up the fish's tail and threw it into the hot oil, frying it on both sides, and said coldly: "Jin Niang, I often hear that the curtains of your carriage are embroidered with a two-headed snake, which can be described as famous in the capital, can you give me a look?" “
"The carriage was borrowed by the five girls, and it will be returned in a few days." Jin Niang said casually, add a spoonful of water to the pot, add ginger slices, green onions, oil sauce, red peppers, etc., cover the lid and stew slowly, and gradually the fresh fragrance spreads everywhere.
Shun Yu sniffed: "There are so many sedan cars in Yingtianfu, why does she have to borrow your family?" “
Jin Niang was cutting cabbage, her hand paused, looked up at her, and said calmly: "What do you want to ask?" It doesn't hurt to be straight. “
"The two-headed snake on the curtain was also embroidered by Miss Tang at your behest of all, right?!" Shun Yu stared at the big bowl of blanched and whitish pork, as long as the oil sauce and pepper were simmered slowly over low heat, it would be red and bright and very beautiful.
Before hearing Jin Niang's reply, she raised her face, her eyes were as deep as water: "This is not Di Lian's purse, which you plan to give to Miss Tang!" It's a pity.... I'm afraid that the falling flowers deliberately follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers. “
Jin Niang's face became more and more ugly like the pork piece, and Shun Yu sighed: "Jin Niang, Jin Niang, are you really happy about this five girls, or can't you forget the five girls who have died?" “
"What do you want to say...... I don't understand. Jin Niang's legs were a little weak, and she sat on the bench leaning against the wall.
The kitchen smelled so good, the smell of rice was overflowing, the fish was stewed, and the duck was steamed, but no one paid any attention to it.
"When you were in the capital, you admired the five girls of the Tian family, and often played with her, she also treated you like a sister, but the paper couldn't hold the fire, and she finally noticed your thoughts."
"Since then, she has refused to see me, and she is disgusted to even look at me." Jin Niang's roar was hoarse.
Shun Yu pursed her lips: "You are completely wrong, she is too familiar with your fragile and affectionate nature, afraid that you will fall too deep and it will be difficult to pull it out, each other will not see the leaves, and the leaves will not see the flowers, which is the ..... way to protect you." After a pause, he said: "She taught you Su embroidery skills, isn't it sincere enough!" ”
Jin Niang hung her neck and didn't speak, and when she stood up again, she had regained her composure, and the expression on her face was neither sad nor happy, and she didn't have any expression.
She didn't look at Shun Yu either, walked to the pot, picked up the shovel and carefully put the whole fish on the plate, scooped up the soup in the pot and poured it on the fish, the shovel was very clean, scraping the bottom of the pot fiercely, and hissing and torturing each other's ear drums.
She suddenly opened her mouth, Shun Yu still heard clearly, she said: "I have been sick since she died, I want to die, people say that I miss the dead at this time, she will come to lead you away, but strange, she just didn't come, and then my father didn't do it, and took me out of Beijing, I don't want to die." “
She threw away the shovel, scooped water from the jar and poured it into the pot, listening to the "swoop" of white smoke, her back was thin, because of the greasy scrubbing in the pot, and shaking non-stop, she was still chattering, Shun Yu listened intermittently, inexplicably lost interest in listening, and only handed her purse in front of her: "Miss Tang is missing, and your carriage is also involved in the case, if you think of anything, you can inform the government...... Or tell me about it. “
Jin Niang slowly put down the loofah in her hand, took the purse, the residue of the oil sauce on her fingertips was stained with lotus petals, she heard the footsteps of Shun Yu leaving, or couldn't help asking: "Miss Tang deliberately wants to frame me?" She felt that she had said something wrong, as if she knew a lot and made people have to be afraid.
Shun Yu paused slightly, looked back at her and smiled, a smile that was difficult to catch, she pushed open the chai door and left.
"Who knows!" yes, who knows, maybe only you know!
Jin Niang began to tear the purse desperately, until she was out of breath, and the purse became ugly, even crumpled, but it was still intact.
She gritted her teeth and squatted in front of the stove, threw her purse into the stove, and watched the purple flames devour it and turn it into ashes.
She let the flames turn her face red, and then she got up again, and went to pour the bowl of pork into pieces, and poured it all into the stove, and a strange smell dispersed, and the flames were clear and shining, revealing a strange light.
