Chapter 25 (Medium)
"Damn, who did it back then to do such a thing. There has long been a clear order in the palace that the daughters of doctors who are sent to the women's hospital will all enter the pharmacy to study their homework, and those who take the Chinese medicine examination will return to their hometowns when they reach the age of 20. Xiangru was just a child back then, she was so young, who could let anyone harm her like this? Aunt Xiao was puzzled, and at the same time indignant, she never thought that someone would ignore the imperial decree, and she was also responsible for negligence.
"That's it, auntie, it's useless to think about it too much, let's find a chance to ask Xiangru what she means, if she is willing, then I will do the rest alone. She can still have this level in the kitchen for four years, I think she should be talented, and when I enter the pharmacy, I will find another opportunity to take her as an apprentice and see who dares to gossip. If she refuses, then the matter must not be brought up again. ”
"It's good for you to think so, but isn't it too risky for you to take her? You're about to leave the palace before you finish teaching her, so it's good if you can teach madder. ”
"If I didn't have time to teach her, I would have entrusted her to another good doctor, didn't I change two masters like this back then? These are all later words, and now the focus is whether she is willing to turn around? Find a chance to ask her how she is. ”
"If she refuses, we won't mention it again, if she does, what will happen to Aunt Rong? The girl who has been cultivated with great difficulty, will she be willing to let go? ”
Lady Xie looked at Aunt Xiao with a straight face, "Auntie, in fact, you also understand in your heart, if Xiangru is willing to transfer to the pharmacy, how can you persuade Aunt Rong to release her?" Why don't you just get her wish? ”
"This ......," Aunt Xiao hesitated.
"Auntie, do you want Aunt Fang? Did she make any promises to you? ”
"No, how can it be, these days she comes to say hello and just talks and leaves, I just think it's a little funny that she chooses a successor in this way."
"Auntie, I know you feel aggrieved in your heart, and you originally wanted to choose a stand-in to take your place in a fair way, but you suddenly fell ill and disrupted the whole plan. You should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, okay? Doctor Xie held Aunt Xiao's right hand exposed outside the quilt with both hands, bent down, and pleaded softly.
Aunt Xiao took out her right hand and caressed Doctor Xie's hair lovingly, and said softly: "The girl who came in at the same time as you back then, I was the only one who loved you the most, and I didn't make others jealous of you for this." Fortunately, you are angry, and you are the first to take the Chinese medicine exam in the same period, and her medical skills are also top-notch. You have a good family background, you are good at reading, you don't compete, and your heart is soft, and since you found Xiangru, you are reluctant to let her stay up in the kitchen. You go and ask her, if she is willing, it will be worth it for me to exchange this son and Aunt Rong for her. ”
Doctor Xie was overjoyed, "Thank you, auntie, I'll go look for her." ”
As she spoke, Doctor Xie wanted to get up, and Aunt Xiao hurriedly grabbed her.
"Silly boy, what's the hurry! She's cooking in the kitchen right now, in what capacity are you running to her? We'll have to find a reason. ”
"Auntie, do you have an idea?"
Aunt Xiao pondered for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile bloomed on her face, "Oh, an excellent reason is right in front of me, but I just thought of it." ”
"What's the best reason?"
"In my name, just call Xiangru to come over and take a look, from the beginning, just say that I have been in good health recently, and my appetite is open, so I want to meet the real person in order to express my gratitude. Aunt Rong still dares not to bring me to see me? ”
"Very good, very good, just do it, let Yugui pass the word at noon, and ask Aunt Rong to bring Xiangru over when she delivers snacks in the afternoon, and Aunt Xiao wants to see the real person."
"Yes, that's it. When the time comes, you will also come, and for this reason, you will say that you are in good health, and you want to see the girl who cooks for me. Let's talk together for a while, and then I'll leave you to talk, and separate Madder and Xiangru, and no one will think much about how long they stay together, but you have to tell Madder how to talk. ”
"Well, that's it. If Xiangru is willing, then I will come forward to talk to Aunt Rong, so that Aunt Rong owes me a favor in the future. If Xiangru refuses, I will warn her to shut up, and even if someone mentions it in the future, no one will take my fault, but she will be the unlucky. ”
"Okay, let's just say that. It's not early, you go back to the house to rest first, it's time to eat soon, and then come back to me when you have a break. You and Yugui are going in and out this morning, so many people see it, and you always have to give others a chance to talk. ”
Knowing what Aunt Xiao was referring to, Doctor Xie pursed her lips and smiled, and got up to leave.
Aunt Xiao's courtyard was in the deepest part of this row of courtyards, and Doctor Xie and Madder had to pass through the courtyard gates of all the aunts in charge all the way out.
She and Madder walked calmly, but those seemingly closed courtyard doors were open a crack in the door, and there were eyes quietly looking behind each door, and when they saw that Doctor Xie and Mrs. Xie had gone out of the small door, these courtyard doors immediately couldn't wait to open all of them, and all the aunts in charge poured out together, looked at each other, laughed dryly and retracted back into their respective courtyards.
At noon, the girls who came to get the meal chattered and brought the latest news this morning, although what they saw was only the scene of Dr. Xie taking Madder to the Tai Hospital, and they didn't know what they had done, but all kinds of speculation had spread throughout the women's hospital hall in this short period of time, and the kitchen was the last place to know the situation.
Everyone in the kitchen listened dizzily as the different girls said the so-called "conclusions" they had discussed, looking at each other, and everyone's hearts began to beat violently - is this going to have a result?
Yugui calmly walked into the kitchen, made a serious appearance with a strained face, without her usual cute smile, ignoring the various actions of others who wanted to talk to her, came directly to Xiangru, took the food box she prepared with one hand, and said in a voice that was not big or small but could be heard by everyone around: "Aunt Xiao has recovered well recently, and I learned that you made the meal, so I want to see you say thank you, let you tell Aunt Rong, and take you with you when I send snacks in the afternoon." ”
"Yes, I know, I must tell you, there is Sister Lao Yugui."
After Yugui finished speaking, he took lunch and left expressionlessly, some of the people in the kitchen chased out to find out Yugui's tone, and some congratulated Xiangru, especially these people in the kitchen, who have been in the palace for so many years, have only seen Aunt Xiao come to inspect the kitchen, and no one has ever spoken to her, and she is somewhat envious of Xiangru for having such an opportunity.
Aunt Xiao summoned this to be a big deal, Xiangru didn't dare to delay, and urged the kitchen worker to bring Aunt Rong's food box, and she hurriedly sent it.
When I entered the door, I saw Aunt Rong sitting on the edge of the bed and pondering while roasting the fire, I don't know what she was thinking, Xiangru screamed, and immediately put food in her hand.
"Auntie, just now Aunt Xiao's cinnamon came to get lunch and asked me to pass on a message."
"Say." Aunt Rong replied in a muffled voice with an unkind expression, and she didn't know who she was angry with.
"Yugui said, Aunt Xiao has recovered well recently, and she wants to see the person who cooks, so you can take me over by the way when you send snacks in the afternoon."
"Really? Did you hear it right? Is this really how Cinnamon was preached? Aunt Rong stopped pondering, and jumped over the brazier and jumped over, not like a woman in her forties.
"It's true, when Cinnamon passed the word, there were many people in the kitchen, and everyone heard it."
"Amitabha Buddha bless, there must be good things, there must be good things." Aunt Rong folded her hands and came to the window to pray.
"Auntie, don't be too nervous, it may not be so quick to get results, everyone just saw Doctor Xie and Yugui leave the women's medical hall, and no one knows what they are doing."
"What else can I do? If it's just Doctor Xie alone, it doesn't matter what she's going to do, but it's different with Yu Gui next to her, she must be going to deliver a letter, otherwise why would she say she wants to see you? That's what happened after the arrangement. It must be so, and it can't be wrong. ”
"Alright, auntie, let's go deliver the letter. Now that the result has been made, you can't change your nervousness no matter how worried you are, so you should sit down and eat quickly, rest early, and have the energy to see Aunt Xiao in the afternoon. ”
Aunt Rong felt that this was reasonable, and returned to the round table and sat down to serve a bowl to eat.
After lunch, Xiangru went back to the house to rest, Chef Li and the three of them had fallen asleep in their respective beds, Xiangru couldn't sleep on the bed alone, thinking that she would be received by Aunt Xiao in the afternoon, and she should make a special snack to make a good impression, maybe Aunt Xiao would happily make her a wish, and there would be hope for her to change jobs.
Thinking like this, Xiangru thought about it, what is a chic dim sum?
After thinking about it, there was no idea, but I felt a little stuffy in the bed tent, so I simply got up and got out of bed to pour a glass of water to drink, and when my eyes fell on the sweet orange on the table, Xiangru's eyes lit up, and she had an idea.
Xiangru quickly packed up, then picked a few large sweet oranges and went to the kitchen, put the oranges on the table, took a few eggs from the egg basket and put them aside, and arranged various knives, spoons and bowls in a row.
Wash the oranges, knead them repeatedly with the palm of your hand like kneading dough on the table for a few minutes, then cut the oranges in half with a knife, dig all the orange flesh into a small bowl and mash it, mix the pulp and juice together, and put the peel aside for a while. Beat two eggs, set aside a little salt to taste, pour the orange juice into the egg mixture, and pour back into the two orange peel bowls.
Make a fire in the stove, put the steamer, after the water at the bottom of the pot boils, remove a few firewood and change to medium heat, put the orange peel bowl into the steamer with a saucer, and then buckle a basin on top to prevent the air from dripping into the egg, and finally cover the big lid of the steamer and wait.
Fresh orange steamed eggs this dim sum Xiangru taught her friends in her previous life, she didn't do it herself, she personally still prefers oranges and eggs to eat separately, but the recipe is recorded in her mind, and she found that she is not very rusty when she does it today.
Xiangru moved a bench and sat in front of the stove to guard, without a clock she couldn't grasp the exact time, she looked at the fire in the stove, judging how much time had passed from the degree of firewood burning, so she only got up halfway to inspect it twice and steamed the fresh orange steamed egg.
Extinguishing the fire and carefully serving out the steamed eggs, Xiangru dug a spoonful and tasted it while blowing the hot air.
In fact, it is quite fragrant, the fruity aroma of the orange covers the slightly fishy smell of the egg, and the egg is steamed very tender, the taste is very tender, and at the same time there is the sweet and sour orange, which is very delicious.
