Cuihua Yuanli was in a panic, but the process was so tortuous that it was like an excerpt, and even the three-year-old children in the alley could shake their heads and say a few words of gossip, let alone familiar relatives and friends.

Ren Yan and Xie Jingfang and Mai Fenghui combined the water card, Xiao Mei took the waitress to bury it in the sea of flowers in the outer courtyard to pack up the flower basket; So Master Mai's mind was not here, and his eyes were empty and pondering his thoughts.

"Seeing that it is summer, the mung bean cake and peach blossom crisp here are moved to the ground, replaced with cherry fried lychee jelly or sugar steamed cheese, which is cool to look at...... Master, who do you look at? ”

Xie Jingfang spoke, followed Mai Fenghui's gaze and looked out, and smiled maliciously: "I have taken a fancy to our Miss Xiao, go and propose marriage, Master Xiao also often comes and goes!" ”

She didn't ask Mai Fenghui's name and surname, so naturally she didn't understand the previous play, but when King Xiang was intentional and unintentional, she encouraged others to pursue the girl, and she was happy to see the excitement!

Mak Bonghui blushed and shook his head.

lived in the same courtyard, and he dared to show his face when he went to Xiao Mei's house, and looked behind him at the shadow of the girl to explain the lovesickness, he had never met, and he was afraid of revealing the wind and scaring her.

A person who has died, what love and what love!

Xiao Tong was pulled by Xiao Mei's arm to enter the door, Mai Fenghui avoided it early, Xiao Mei tuddled her nose and smelled everywhere: "Is there a gentleman here, this perfume is not made by a girl when you smell it!" ”

Xie Jingfang teased her: "Hey, isn't it, unrequited lovers can't look forward to it, it's all sad!" ”

The two girls made a fuss.

Ren Yan asked the master in a low voice, "Is she still thinking about Master Mai in her heart?" ”

"I probably forgot about it, and I didn't mention it when I was sad enough." Xiao Tong shook his head and sighed, "There is no fate." ”

Xiao Mei looks happy all day long, now look at this young man who is handsome, and tomorrow looks at the heroic and extraordinary, greedy and good people's appearance is gone for a while, Ren Yan really can't understand what she is thinking.

Until the evening, she was in tears with a plate of crown dumplings.

A total of water cards for a whole day, sorted out the four seasons of a product of dim sum 32 and two products of 28 kinds, first a simple list of people to rub the print, busy people are sleepy, Ren Yan will steam a few drawers of dumplings to deal with dinner.

After the flour has been sifted, poured into boiling water to scald into dough, then kneaded into a smooth dough with lard, covered with gauze, and waited for the dough to clean up the filling.

The ingredients are ready-made, the soaked and washed scallops are cleaned of the hard tendons, and steamed thoroughly in the hot cage drawer; When the shellfish is cooked and cooled, chop the mushrooms and golden legs and stir them into the minced meat.

The spices and minced scallops should also be melted into the mushroom, and a spoonful of sesame oil and bone broth should be mixed until it is delicate and watery.

The crystalline dough is kneaded into long noodles, the agent is rolled out into a round dough sheet, the skin is folded into a triangle and turned over, a spoonful of meat filling is dropped, and egg whites are piled up on the edges.

Pick up the corners on three sides and pinch them tightly, turn the folded edge of the head under the embryo skin completely over to wrap the three noodles, stand on the board is a zongzi with wings, and the thin knife presses out the wavy lace, like a skirt blown by the wind.

The head of the dumpling is topped with half a bright wolfberry and sits in the steamer, out of the pot graceful, crystal clear, translucent dumpling skin weighs out the oily and fragrant filling, and the taste of tight and elastic teeth is wrapped in the sweetness and freshness of the bone broth and dried scallops.

Dip in a layer of red and rich spicy oil, the beauty and thick mellow overlap rapidly between the teeth and cheeks, and the aftertaste is fragrant.

Xiao Mei lay on the table with her face buried in her face, eating and dropping golden beans at the same time.

Ren Yan looked at it and wondered, and handed over the handkerchief: "What's the matter, crying?" ”

“…… I miss him......"

The little girl sobbed and choked, and only dared to share her thoughts with her senior sister: "He makes the best crooked shrimp dumplings, and none of you can compare." ”

Through a screen, Ren Yan looked out, not knowing if Xiao Mei's heart had heard it.

Cuihuayuan is still some distance away from Xiao's family, Xiao Mei was drunk and refused to move the ground, so she went to the house with a plate of dumplings; Later, Ren Yan came out with an empty plate and covered her with a blanket.

Gu Tingwen was waiting for her in the courtyard, his shirt was rolled up and his cuffs were rolled, and there were large droplets of water on his exposed arms.

Ren Yan wiped his arms twice: "Hurry up and fix the water pipes tomorrow, so you don't have to suffer this hardship." ”

However, it is still necessary to wash the dishes and dishes.

"It's not hard." He laughed, "You cook, I'll wash, it's good." ”

yes, that's good.

She was still sitting in the kitchen, watching him methodically clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Gu Qiye, who took off his glasses, was very approachable.

"What are you thinking about looking at me all the time?"

He washed his hands, wiped them dry, walked over to her, touched her face, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"I'm thinking that you're at home, with no worries about food and clothing, how can you do this?" With a honeypot in his heart, the words he asks are sweet.

Gu Tingwen thought about it carefully: "It's true that I've never done it before, but it will be like this every day in the future, so it's better to study earlier." It's easier than writing an article, it's more important to be persistent. ”

He speaks love words, sometimes very tactfully, and can be easily ignored if he does not listen carefully.

Ren Yan buried his face and was happy, and his legs swayed and swayed.

She was so busy that the button on the placket was unbuttoned, and he was condescending, and his inattentive gaze peeked into the clothes, and his heart was ape.

"Shall you go for a walk?" If he doesn't leave, he may have to do something inappropriate.

"Okay."

She jumped.

He tied her buttons and took her hand and went out.

"Tingwen—"

He looked down and saw her smiling face, and couldn't help but be bewitched, and kissed her on the lips.

Ren Yan smiled and whispered: "In the kitchen just now, did you think about it?" ”

was exposed, Gu Tingwen's brows widened, and he kissed her more and more.

The corners of her lips were bitten numbly, and she couldn't help laughing.

The big fat cat on the roof was awakened and fled along the roof tiles, and a black shadow jumped past.

He first hugged her into his arms: "It's a cat, its fur is black, its face is half yellow, and its tail has a pattern." ”

Ren Yan was bluffed at first, but listening to him, his heartbeat calmed down, and he only felt that the cat had a yin and yang face, how ugly should it be?

So for the rest of the trip, they kept discussing the ugly cat that suddenly appeared.

It was only nine o'clock when he got home, Gu Tingwen sat under the lamp and looked through today's interview photos, Ren Yan was lying on the sofa and pondering the water sign of the restaurant, He Quan took someone to send Gu Tingwen a few boxes of clothes and supplies, and silently tidied them up.

When the girls left, the clock struck eleven, and the two looked up at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.

"What do you want to say?"

The light was warm yellow, which softened Ren Yan's heart: "I see that He has all the clothes for four o'clock." ”

He nodded: "Things at home always have to be added to save panic." ”

Family?

He also said: "But I am usually picky, and I only make up the numbers for these, so I have to ask you to be thoughtful and hard for me." ”

Ren Yan crouched on the sofa and laughed, pursing his lips, not knowing what to say, and was really overjoyed.

He held the teacup in his hand, looked at her without blinking, gossiped about the streets or at work, and occasionally talked about her work, and the room was intimate and warm.

The clock struck twelve times, and they put down the books in their hands, flattened the pillows they occupied, and extinguished the lamps on the bedside tables.

"Tomorrow to interview Zhang Xunyue?" She rolled over under the thin quilt and took his hand.

"Yes, people have just come from outside the Guan, and they will hold a dinner party at the Beijing Hotel." He took her hand firmly, "Bringing you an marzipan?" ”

"Okay."

"What are you going to do tomorrow?" He asked.

"A few ladies and ladies have medicinal meals to prepare, and there is a list of water brands, but in ten days, Cuihua Garden will open, and we will discuss it when you get off work."

"Okay, good night."

"Good night."

The moonlight slipped in through the cracks in the curtains, and the breeze passed and quickly dissipated.

In the morning, the two had breakfast and were busy; When it was dark, Ren Yan received a call from Gu Tingwen to apologize-

"I'm sorry, I can't bring you cookies."

She asked, "Is it busy, it's okay, remember to make up for it next time." ”

He smiled, "Okay, maybe wait until I get back from the south." ”

"Shanghai, or Guangzhou?" She was reluctant, but she didn't want him to know.

"Teochew."

She sighed, "It's close to my mother's old house." ”

"If it's convenient, you come, and we'll go with you." He thought about it, but he was not sure, "If it is inconvenient, I will bring you some photos." ”

"Okay, wait until you get back."

A week after they spoke on the phone, Cui Hua Yuan opened.

The business is extremely sought after, Ren Yan took Xie Jingfang, Xiao Tong and Mai Fenghui, and the four of them were busy until midnight before dawn, and they had to post a notice to make an appointment.

Cuihua Garden is open every Monday, 35, 246 concentrates on making medicinal food and does not entertain guests, and rests on Sundays, especially if it is so busy that it is impossible to find the time to drink saliva.

The hired master was delayed on the way, and only three or five handymen were invited, Xiao Tong had to propose to recruit some masters and apprentices.

Ren Yan agreed, and entrusted this matter to Xiao Tong's father and daughter.

The matter of selecting people is not in a hurry, and the craftsmanship and character cannot be left behind, and both the master and apprentice are really taboo about Du Liren's example, and one of them is restless.

After more than two months, the newly hired master and the handyman have become more and more proficient, and the apprentices have also found the same, and each has received a few numbers to be busy in the back kitchen.

Ren Yan easily got his leisure, sat by the water in the garden at night to enjoy the coolness, and asked the masters to put together new dishes.

There are all kinds of vegetables, fruits and spices in the yard, and the food tasting is also handy, so every three or five days there will be new seasonal dishes to hang out of the water sign, and the name of Cuihua Garden is prosperous day by day.

Ren Yan's happiest time every day is to take stock of his accounts every night, and then set aside time to wait for a call from Gu Tingwen, who has been away from Beijing for two and a half months.

When he wasn't on the way, the phone came every day; If there is going to be a trip, he will make an appointment in advance, for example, this time he will return to Chaozhou again.

"Because the interviewee has a meeting, he will stay for two weeks, Rouge, would you like to come and see your mother's old home?"

"Okay." She should come down because she thinks of him and her mother.

Gu Tingwen smiled softly: "I will tell the accompanying and Mai Fenghui, it will be more convenient to have a guide." ”

Put down the phone, Ren Yan flipped through the calendar card, July 13, 11th year of the Republic of China.
