Chapter 42: Jelly
"How?" Xie Wanqing couldn't help but ask nervously when she saw something enter her mouth. Whether her way to make money can be opened smoothly depends on this thing.
Sun Xiaoxiao licked her lips, this thing was so slippery that she didn't even have time to taste it and it went into her throat and stomach, so she didn't answer, and scooped another spoon into her mouth. This time she paid attention, and deliberately left the thing in her mouth and tasted it carefully, there was no special taste, it was smooth and refreshing, and it melted in her mouth.
"It doesn't seem to have any taste." Sun Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and commented, could it be that Xie Wanqing has worked so hard for so long just to do this? What kind of delicate dishes did she think the other party was going to make?
But thinking about this evaluation, I was afraid that Xie Wanqing would be frustrated, so I immediately added: "It would be better if there were some other tastes." ”
Naturally, there will be other flavors, and you can taste whatever you want.
It's called jelly, and it was supposed to be made by a cook a few years later. It's just that Xie Wanqing picked up the cheap in the previous life and made things in advance. But it's no wonder that she is opportunistic, the dim sum made by the cook lady in the previous life is not just jelly. With the rise of jelly, many other delicious foods were made. Even the emperor in the palace invited her to cook, and I heard that she was rewarded a lot.
The cook lady was also generous, and simply announced the jelly method. At that time, Xie Wanqing had just married into the Liang Wangfu, and the two were like glue, and she often cooked some snacks for Zhao Yuqi when she had nothing to do, and this jelly was also learned at that time.
The jelly can be added to the flavor of various fruits, which is delicious and not greasy, and Xie Wanqing likes it the most.
"I can add whatever flavor I like to the fruit I like." Xie Wanqing blinked mischievously.
Sun Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Really? ”
"Nature is true."
The two little girls couldn't stop talking about food, and spent the whole afternoon discussing jelly. Although Sun Xiaoxiao basically has no cooking skills, she can eat. She has tasted all kinds of delicious food in the general's mansion, and now when she sees the jelly, she only feels novel and delicious, and she is curious about Xie Wanqing's cooking skills, so she has a good conversation with her.
It stands to reason that the daughter of the Hou Mansion of Anyang, even if she is a concubine, does not need to cook herself.
"Wanqing, why are you still doing this?" Sun Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Xie Wanqing had never cooked in her life, but Sun Xiaoxiao naturally didn't know about the situation in the Hou Mansion of Anyang, so she said calmly: "I usually like to study some small snacks, and this is the recipe I occasionally find." ”
Sun Xiaoxiao asked, "Then will you be allowed to cook in your Hou Mansion?" ”
Naturally not, in their opinion, cooking is something that inferior people do, and in the previous life, Xie Wanyun often told her after marrying into Liang Wangfu, don't lower your status, run to the kitchen every day, and others laugh at her as the cook of Liang Wangfu.
In fact, among the people who laughed at her, Xie Wanyun should also be counted as one.
"So, I did it secretly in my little kitchen. Don't tell me, or I'll be punished by my grandmother." Xie Wanqing pleaded.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't say it." Sun Xiaoxiao swore solemnly.
The two of them tasted the jelly made from the fruit of the General's Mansion in the afternoon, although most of the time it was made by Xie Wanqing, and Sun Xiaoxiao was responsible for eating it.
"How?" Xie Wanqing asked.
Sun Xiaoxiao covered her bulging stomach and said approvingly: "Yes, delicious, you are really amazing." ”
Xie Wanqing was praised by her, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and she reached out to rub her stomach while saying, "You eat less next time." What should I do if I overeat? ”
Sun Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "I don't see that jelly is full, I didn't pay attention to eating too much for a while, and I will definitely not next time." ”
Then he pulled the corner of her coat and asked, "Can I send the rest of the jelly to my mother and grandmother to try?" ”
Originally, Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to taste the taste, and Xie Wanqing wanted to try whether her cooking skills had regressed compared to her previous life, but she didn't expect to stop it, and the more she made it, she made about ten kinds of flavors, and the two of them ate less, and there was still a lot of left in each of them.
Sun Xiaoxiao thought that her mother and grandmother had never tasted this taste, so it was better to send it over for them to taste, but the thing was made by Xie Wanqing, so it naturally had to be approved by her.
After all, it's not such a glorious thing to let people know that the young lady of the Hou Mansion of Anyang can cook.
Xie Wanqing naturally knew Sun Xiaoxiao's thoughts, she actually had a number of quantities when she made jelly, and she knew that the two of them would definitely not be able to eat it all, and Sun Xiaoxiao was filial, and she would definitely send it to the old lady and her mother when the time came, so she could be regarded as having reported to the two elders.
After she pulled Sun Xiaoxiao into the gang, if something happened, the above two elders would be responsible.
As for the fact that she can cook, she doesn't feel that she will be looked down upon, and it can be seen from Sun Xiaoxiao's eclectic personality that her grandmother and mother are not that kind of people.
Therefore, Xie Wanqing nodded and said, "Naturally." The ingredients and utensils for making this thing are all borrowed from your general's mansion, so don't you let the master of the general's mansion taste the things you make? ”
Sun Xiaoxiao was not polite to her when she heard this, and called the maid to divide the remaining jelly into two parts and send it over.
"Xiaoxiao, what if I take these jellies out and sell them?" Xie Wanqing asked.
Sun Xiaoxiao was taken aback by her words, Shinong Industry and Commerce, business is the most despised. Although she didn't think so, everyone else did.
Few nobles in the family will go to business, and even if there is, it is the concubine of the side branch to do it, Xie Wanqing, as the daughter of the big house of the Marquis of Anyang, is really not necessary.
"Are you short of money?" Sun Xiao asked puzzled.
Xie Wanqing shook her head and said, "Of course, there is no shortage of food and clothing, but I am a concubine, and I always need some money to feel at ease, and if something happens in the future, I can rely on it." I don't like to study, and in a few years, the people in the house will definitely show me people, and I don't want to be a concubine for others, and if there is a fuss at that time, there will always be a way out. ”
She and Sun Xiaoxiao hit it off at first sight, so she was willing to tell her all these plans.
Yes, the marriage of the concubine is not up to herself, but all of them must be arranged by the housewife. According to Xie Wanqing's identity, she will either be a concubine for a powerful family, or marry a poorer person as a wife, but for the Marquis of Anyang, she may not be able to look down on those petty officials and officials, and Xie Wanqing will be sent to be a concubine nine times out of ten.
Sun Xiaoxiao heard her say this, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable. She herself is the concubine of the General's Mansion, but she has never considered this, and now she has to be surprised by Xie Wanqing's early wisdom.
"If you really want to sell those jellies you just had, I've got a shortcut." She glanced at Xie Wanqing and said: "Naturally, you can't come forward to sell things yourself, it just so happens that my father gave me a dim sum shop the year before last, and it was opened in the most lively Ping'an Fang, and I will help you send it over when you are ready, and I will send it there to sell." ”
Xie Wanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Then thank you very much." ”
But today, seeing that the sky is getting late, Xie Wanqing is not good to stay. She stayed in the General's Mansion for a day today, and if she didn't return overnight, she didn't know what she would be scolded by the old lady tomorrow.
Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to keep her, and when she grew up so big, Xie Wanqing could talk to her the most. But she also knew that if she was really left, the Marquis of Anyang Mansion would embarrass her again. Therefore, I only sent Xie Wanqing to the door.
The matter of making money has been settled, and Xie Wanqing is happy in her heart. Judging from the popularity of jelly in the previous life, she is confident that she will make a lot of money this time.
When she returned to the Hou Mansion of Anyang, the sun was almost out of sight, Xie Wanqing knew that she was going back late, and she was afraid that she would be scolded by the old lady, so she went back to her yard for dinner first, and then went to the old lady's yard.
According to the rules, the younger generation has to report to the old lady before going out and after returning.
"I'm back." The old lady said lightly, but she didn't tell her to get up.
Xie Wanqing maintained a saluting posture, knowing in her heart that this was putting pressure on her, and she could only bear it.
When the old lady saw her well-behaved appearance, she remembered that these days, Xie Wanqing often came to accompany her, so she raised her hand to signal her to get up. asked, "I heard that you met the Twelve Princesses in the General's Mansion today?" ”
