Chapter 23: Delicious
After a while, breakfast was served, Lin Shuang was still too young to reach the table, and Gu's mother fed her porridge with a bowl.
The white porridge has no taste at all, but fortunately, it takes a long time to boil and the rice is fragrant.
Lin Shuang glanced at the table and saw that the rich man's breakfast was still full of delicate and pocket-sized food, a small plate of four small buns, a plate of two small flower rolls, a small dish of shredded chicken with soy sauce, and a small dish shaped like shredded bamboo shoots or something.
The fourth young master and the second wife both had porridge bowls in front of them.
The mother and son ate the same thing, stirred the spoon in the porridge one by one, and then scraped it thinly on the porridge with the tip of the spoon and put it in their mouths, chewing slowly for a long time before swallowing.
When the fourth young master saw Lin Shuang looking at him, he pointed to the buns on the table and asked, "Do you want to eat this?" ”
Lin Shuang subconsciously looked at the second wife, she wanted to taste the buns and dishes on this table, but she didn't know if she would commit any taboos.
The second wife looked at her with a smile, and did not seem to be upset.
Lin Shuang nodded boldly, the fourth young master picked up the chopsticks on the side and handed over a small bun, and Gu's mother hurriedly took it with an empty bowl.
This small bun is the size of a walnut, although it is pocket-sized, but the skin is thin and the filling is more, and the aroma of gravy spreads between the lips and teeth when you take a bite, Lin Shuang has never eaten such fragrant food since she came to ancient times, and she couldn't help but smile.
The fourth young master saw that she was eating with relish, and gave her a small flower roll.
The second wife saw that the porridge in the fourth young master's bowl barely moved, and it seemed that she was not going to eat it anymore, and the child struggled to eat anything.
Looking at Lin Shuang again, the person is only this little bigger, he has already drunk most of the bowl of porridge, and he has eaten a bun and a flower roll, his eyes are crooked, and his cheeks are bulging.
The second wife sighed in her heart, and said softly to Si Shao: "Brother Quan'er taste this bun, it was specially made for you by Dashun in the kitchen." ”
The fourth young master shook his head: "Mother, my son is already full." ”
Shuang'er glanced at his bowl, and said in her heart that there is only a layer of skin left in your small body, which looks like a bean sprout, obviously malnourished for a long time, and it is estimated that it will not last long if you don't eat. ”
Her voice is soft and waxy, she speaks with her little head tilted, and her face flushes with happiness, which is very convincing.
The fourth young master glanced at the table with disgust, and hesitated: "Really? ”
Lin Shuang blinked her big eyes and nodded sincerely.
The second wife took chopsticks and put a bun in Lin Shuang's bowl, and said with a smile: "If it's delicious, eat one more." ”
As he spoke, he sandwiched another empty bowl in front of the fourth young master: "Brother Quan'er taste it to see if Niuniu is lying." ”
Lin Shuang ate the ones just now that she was already full, and she would reach the top if she ate another bun, but she knew that the second wife wanted to use her to tempt the fourth young master to eat more, so she had to fight no matter how hard she could.
Lin Shuang bent her eyes and smiled at the fourth young master while eating the bun with her cheeks puffed, and the second wife also took a bun to eat, and the fourth young master finally picked up the bun with chopsticks and took a bite.
Lin Shuang swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "Fourth Young Master, isn't it very fragrant?" ”
The fourth young master hesitated, but he ate this little bun.
The second wife was very happy, and said to Gu's mother that she would bring Lin Shuang over to eat together every day in the future, and asked the girl to take out a hat inlaid with silver pieces and give it to Lin Shuang.
After eating, the fourth young master wanted to go back to Xizhao Courtyard to read, Xizhao Courtyard was behind the Lotus Courtyard, and it only took five minutes to walk back from the verandah.
Gu's mother hugged Lin Shuang and followed behind the fourth young master's sedan chair, and said in her ear as she walked: "Fourth grandmother, when the fourth young master is reading for a while, you are playing on the side, don't make a noise, you can't disturb the fourth young master, do you know?" ”
Lin Shuang was wearing a new hat, and the silver pieces on the edge of the hat swayed from side to side, making a crisp sound of tinkling and ding, and Lin Shuang lay on Gu's mother's shoulder and let out a cat-like "um".
