Chapter 168 Snacks
"Why did the young lady and the second young master come over? But what do you want to eat? You say, "Slave and maid, I'll do it for you." "It's not the time to eat, the big kitchen is quiet. The maids and ladies who were cooking were resting, and only the one who spoke. She is the head of the kitchen, her name is Chen Mei, and the big guys call her Aunt Mei.
"Aunt Mei, Miss is here to get some snacks for the second young master, you are busy with you first, and I will call you when necessary." Wanxue said to Aunt Mei kindly.
"Oh, okay. Then young lady, you are busy first, and the slave and maid will retreat first. ”
Leisurely smiled at her and nodded, and after she stepped back, she walked to the place where the ingredients were placed. While pulling all kinds of ingredients, he said to Qin Enran: "I'll make you more snacks that can be left for a long time, right?" What do you want to eat? ”
Qin Enran tilted her head and thought for a long time before she said to her, "Sister, will you make me more nougat biscuits?" After I went to Fengxian, it took me a long time to eat. ”
"Okay." Leisurely nodded in agreement, "Then I'll make you some more snacks, bring a little more, and you can give some to the fifth grandfather and the fifth grandmother; This time, my brother and I are busy with the affairs of the Southern Imperial Mansion, and I can't send you to Fengxian County, so I will take it as a little filial piety of mine, and please don't blame the five grandfathers and five grandmothers. ”
"Okay." Qin Enran nodded obediently.
Wanyun and Wanxue were also rummaging for ingredients on the side, putting aside everything they needed leisurely for later use.
"Miss, there are a lot of peanuts and sunflower seeds, why don't you fry some for the second young master?" Wanyun opened a large cloth bag and showed it leisurely to see the peanuts inside.
Leisurely walked over and grabbed a handful to see, the peanuts were not newly produced this year, but leftover from last year, fortunately, they were placed very properly, and there were no moldy insects. looked at the cloth bag, and there were not many left, so he leisurely decided to use all of these, "Okay, divide it into three parts." Part of it is fried, part of it is made into spiced food, and the rest part is wrapped in nuts. ”
"Alas, all right! The slave went and called Aunt Mei and them over to peel peanuts. After Wanyun finished speaking, he smiled and ran to call someone.
"Miss, sunflower seeds? The slave and maid should be taken outside. After the evening clouds left, the evening snow asked Xiang Youran.
Leisurely turned his head to look, and found that there were not many, so he thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then let's go out!" Let Wanyun divide it into four equal parts, one for dry stir-frying, one for spice, one for milky, and one for jujube flavor. Wait a minute, you go to the Zhuangzi and get some milk and sun-dried dates. ”
"Yes, is the young lady slave going now?"
"Well, go ahead! Go and go back. ”
"Yes."
After Wanxue left, there was only leisurely and Qin Enran left in the kitchen, and the sisters and brothers chatted until Wanyun called someone back. The big guy carried a small bench and sat in a circle in the kitchen peeling peanuts. Qin Yan ran the scene they saw when they came, and before they could speak, they were pulled by Qin Enran to peel peanuts together.
Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and unity is strength, this sentence is really reasonable. In less than a quarter of an hour, the peanuts that had just been piled up in small piles turned into peanut kernels.
"You'er, what are you doing with so many peanuts?" Mu Lan, who was following leisurely to clean up, asked curiously.
"Make a little snack to eat." Leisurely smiled and replied as he cleaned up.
"Peanut kernels can also be made into snacks? I thought I could only use porridge! Cousin, tell us what these peanuts can be made of? Muzen thought it was interesting to make peanut kernels into snacks, and urged them to talk leisurely.
Leisurely looked back and gave him a smile, it was really like a hibiscus smile like a flower!
"Second cousin, these peanut kernels can be made into spiced nuts, which can be used as snacks or snacks."
Mu Zen's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Oh? Really? Can you give us some of it later? In the evening, I had a few drinks with my eldest brother and cousin. ”
"yes, okay." nodded leisurely.
Youran not only prepared peanuts and melon seeds in various flavors, but also prepared sugar-fried chestnuts, salt-baked cashew nuts and cream walnuts. The cashew tree was cultivated leisurely for a long time to succeed, and now only two trees bear fruit, and there are not many of them, so the cashew nuts almost sold for the price of gold as soon as they came on the market. Of course, because the annual output is too small, even if there are rich merchants who come to buy gold, they may not be able to buy it, which really brings a lot of wealth to the Qin family.
A room full of people was busy for most of the day, and finally ended with the kitchen yard full of baskets of nuts.
"W--I mean, what are you doing here?" When Shang Moqi came, he smelled fragrant, and when he arrived at the indiscretionary courtyard and was told that everyone was in the big kitchen, he knew that You'er was cooking food again.
"Huh? Brother Moqi, did you smell the fragrance? Qin Enran looked at the handsome man who suddenly appeared at the door and was dressed in purple and asked.
"Hehe, what do you know? It's better to come early than to come at the right time. As soon as the thumb and index finger were clasped, he gave Qin Enran a gentle brain meltdown, and the spring breeze of laughter rippled: "By the way, I haven't said what you are doing?" Why do you make so many snacks? ”
"Aren't I going to my fifth grandfather's house tomorrow, so my eldest sister will prepare some more snacks for me to bring over." Qin Enran replied while rubbing his forehead.
"Oh yes, yes, yes, I remember, our little chicks have grown up and are finally going out to fly!" Shang Moqi suddenly realized, and then pretended to have a sad expression, covered his heart, and said in a sad tone: "Alas~ This will be the world of you young people from now on, and we are a group of old and frail people, just waiting to be fed." ”
Qin Enran twitched the corners of his mouth, and called out speechlessly: "Brother Moqi......"
"Shang Moqi, you're enough! If you are old and infirm, how can you let those who are really old and infirm live? I don't know who ate a whole roasted whole sheep a few days ago? When he came out with the freshly fried melon seeds with red dates, he just heard Shang Moqi's complaint, and suddenly rolled his eyes.
"Hey?! You little girl, it's really getting bigger and smaller? Don't even call my brother anymore? Don't think it's in your house, I won't dare to clean you up! As he spoke, he pretended to roll up his sleeves and said to her with a tiger face.
"W--believe you." glanced at him with disdain, turned her head leisurely and walked back, she was still busy, and she didn't have time to mess around with him.
"Huh? You'er ......, "Shang Moqi thinks Youran will fight with himself as usual?" I didn't expect her to turn around and leave, and she didn't pay much attention to him?
He walked into the kitchen after following Youran, and found that Qin Yanran, Mu Yan, Mu Cen, and Mu Lan were sitting around a square table, happily eating a plate of spiced nuts on the table.
"Hey~ I said why didn't you come out to greet me today? It turned out that they were hiding here and stealing food? With a casual smile, he walked to Qin Haoran's side, sat down very unceremoniously, and then the two brothers raised their arms and put their arms around his shoulders and said to everyone.
Mu Lan covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and laughed lightly, and quipped: "Brother Moqi is really good at laughing, when did you come and need someone to greet you?" When didn't you come to your own house, why did you care about this? ”
"Huh?" Shang Moqi looked at Mu Lan and said sadly: "I said Xiao Lan, you have learned badly, don't stay with You'er in the future, you can't learn well with her!" ”
"Forehead ......"
"Oops~~"
When Mu Lan didn't know how to answer, Shang Moqi was beaten. He looked back and saw a leisurely and menacing pinching his waist, a pair of bright apricot eyes wide, both strange and delicate.
"Uh...... Hey, hey, it's You'er? When did you come? Hehe, Brother Mo Qi was joking just now, he was taken seriously, don't take it seriously. Shang Moqi begged for mercy from Youran very cowardly, and Mu Yan and the others who watched it had some contempt.
What about the momentum with which he just said those words? Chic? Where did it go?
"Hmph, I've always been there. How? Mo ~ Qi ~ Brother ~ Brother ~ Didn't you notice? "Also, if he had noticed, he wouldn't have uttered such 'bold' words!
Seeing that he was smiling so brightly and delicately, he suddenly felt that his legs and stomach were a little weak, and Shang Moqi hurriedly accompanied the smiling face: "Hehe, no, I didn't pay much attention to it!" Absolutely not in the future, you believe me, you Mo Qi brother and I ignore no one can ignore you, right? ”
Mother~ Since Sikong Mingyi left, how did this You'er become yin and yang? This little temper is getting stronger and stronger, and he is really a little bit about to be unable to hold it! Mingyi~ Come back soon! There had never been a moment when he missed someone so much as he did now.
"Chirp--"
At this time, a sneeze suddenly came out from a large study room in the capital, startling the other two people who were flipping through the books, and at the same time looked at the person who made the sound.
"What? Got a cold? A man in a fine brocade robe, sitting by the window, asked.
If you are here leisurely at this moment, you will definitely recognize this person, he is Huang Haoxuan, who I haven't seen for a long time. I haven't seen him for three years, and he was still a young man at the beginning, but now he is a mature and stable man.
"Heh~ cousin, you don't understand this, where is the cold? It's clear that someone misses Mingyi. The voice of Hang'er Langdang sounded, and Zheng Wenjun opened the folding fan in a dashing manner and fanned the wind.
Sikong Mingyi slowly raised his eyes and glanced at someone, and then calmly withdrew his gaze, not reacting to what the other party said at all.
Zheng Wenjun, who was frozen in an instant, silently touched his nose, smiled stupidly, and found that Sikong Mingyi was not looking at him at all, so he showed a particularly aggrieved expression towards Huang Haoxuan.
Huang Haoxuan shook his head helplessly when he saw it, and sighed: "Okay, let's get down to business!" If you don't finish reading these today, there will be more tomorrow. ”
Zheng Wenjun looked at the two stacks of account books in front of him, and suddenly wailed: "Ao--- why am I here to look at this thing with you?" Why am I coming to you today? ”
"Stop screaming, look!" Sikong Mingyi continued to cast freezing rays, and it was best to freeze the one who was convulsive at this time.
Zheng Wenjun suddenly stopped, and agreed aggrievedly like an angry little daughter-in-law: "Oh......"
