"Don't look at the scenery outside Mr., in fact, he is a poor person, and he is such a wife."

Xiao Mei came to deliver food to Ren Yan, sat on the big stone with her, leaned on her shoulder and looked up at the sky, sighed out of the elder, and turned over with a heavy heart.

Ren Yan opened the food box and probably understood the girl's family's thoughts.

The dim sum on the first floor put two salty water cakes, snacks in the Chaoshan area, the simple materials are not considered to be delicate and meticulous, but they are better than the taste, and they also hide the girl's first love.

"For Master Mai?" She put her shoulder on top of the little girl who was lying on her side.

Xiao Mei was embarrassed by her drumming, and stiffened her neck: "I said it to you, why did you mention him?" ”

Ren Yan smiled silently, and picked up a stuffed mouth-

"How, is it delicious?" Speaking casually, my eyes are full of anticipation.

Ren Yan rolled up a mouthful of broken Jiang Mi and perfunctory her: "It's okay." ”

"You're about to catch up with the Seventh Master in this breath!" Xiao Mei muttered and complained, "Where to improve, you talk to me, I don't use it when I hear people outside." ”

"You can't make rice in the rice skin, so you can clean the rice you usually eat, soak it in water for an hour, then filter the water, and grind it into rice milk."

Ren Yan fed her half of it and teased her: "Your Jiang rice has been soaked for a long time, but the grinding is rough, like feeding a pig baby." ”

Xiao Mei rolled her eyes.

Ren Yan also smiled: "Do you have a pottery bowl at home?" It doesn't matter if you don't have it, the hat cup for eating tea and wine, the plate that is not dipped in the sauce, and the rice milk that has been ground with a layer of vegetable oil. ”

The rice milk should be steamed in the cage drawer for a quarter of an hour, chop the preserved vegetables and garlic granules while empty, and fry them together with the hot oil in the hot pan over low heat, and give a spoonful of bright spicy oil until the salty fragrance is fried.

"This preserved cabbage is pickled dried white radish, and I remember that there was an urn at home." Ren Yan took chopsticks to pull the pickles in the Jiang rice bowl, "Although there is nothing wrong with you putting such pickled gnocchi, it is not authentic after all." ”

Don't put minced garlic yet.

Xiao Mei nodded, indicating that she was taught.

"The kueh embryo is steamed, and it will sink down when it gets cold, not that you are so hard to press out a nest, otherwise it will be easy to crack when you pry it out, and it will not be able to make a soft and white appearance."

"Oh."

Turn around and get up the small and delicate kueh embryo in the bowl, and add a spoonful of oiled preserved vegetables in the dimple when eating, the white and tender fresh fragrance is confusing, saying that it is a snack, and there is nothing wrong with it as a main meal.

When she was at home, she was short of food and vegetables, and her mother often cooked for her to eat, and she couldn't get tired of eating three meals a day.

Xiao Mei listened to her, holding her chin and jaw out of concentration.

Ren Yan turned his head to look at her: "I told you, I can always succeed if I do it a few more times, and I am discouraged." ”

"Not for that." Xiao Mei lowered her face and fiddled with her fingers, "I always feel that Mai Fenghui is a stupid goose and doesn't like me, how many times, I have asked someone to throw me out, my face-"

"Where in the world is there so much love between two people."

Xiao Mei was not convinced: "What about you and the Seventh Master?" ”

Ren Yan only smiled.

The pride of the seventh master of the Gu family, she has only lived in the Gu Mansion for a few days, and she already understands his hardships and embarrassment; No matter how affectionate he is with her, isn't there always the intransmissible gap between the Gu family?

Who has no suffering.

Ren Yan looked at her: "Are you still willing to pursue Master Mai?" ”

Xiao Mei frowned: "Who wants?" Let people know that I don't have a face! ”

She stroked the little girl's curly hair: "Where is there no face, what about the girl's pursuit of the master, the common feelings of men and women lovers, regret or joy can only be understood by oneself, what do you care about others?" ”

"He doesn't like me."

Ren Yan was just about to speak, and Mai Fenghui was coming out to wash the pots and dishes, and when he saw them, he blushed first, said hello and avoided going back.

Xiao Mei sighed: "I feel that he likes you more than me, senior sister!" ”

Ren Yan squinted: "Compared to me, he likes my craftsmanship, you can extinguish your own majesty!" ”

"Is it too late to learn the craft to be a chef now?" Xiao Mei is full of fighting spirit.

Ren Yan nodded.

She was overjoyed: "How long will it take for you to be like this, a month, or half a year?" ”

"With your qualifications," Ren Yan touched his chin, "and when Master Mai's child goes to junior high school, you should be a teacher!" ”

Xiao Mei choked in anger, and picked up the food box with three handfuls and two handfuls: "See you back!" ”

Ren Yanle: "You don't like this, why do you want to do things you don't love for him, once or twice is fun, it's reluctant for a long time, and the twisted melon is not sweet, sister!" ”

Xiao Mei ignored her and pedaled away.

It was warm under the sun, and Ren Yan squinted his eyes and stretched his waist comfortably, preparing to go to which senior brother to eat again; As a result, the girl who robbed her of her lunch came back with a twist.

"Senior sister, you can teach me to cook Chaoshan cuisine again!"

In the second half of the morning, Xiao Mei squeezed into the small kitchen with her, and Ren Yan watched the medicinal food on the stove while teaching her to make duck mother twist.

The duck mother twist is the name of the Chaoshan area, and it is a huge Jiangmi Lantern Festival to the north. Ren Yan turned out the bag in the cupboard and soaked it in clean water for two hours.

When the sun turned westward, Xiao Mei buried her face and meticulously pushed the stone mill to grind the glutinous pulp, and the ground slurry was poured into a soft cloth bag to drain the water; When it's dark, pour out the pulp and knead it.

Knead until the pulp is flexible and strong, then press it into a small round embryo and wrap it with the prepared taro filling. The taro mushroom is crushed with betel nut taro that has been steamed until it is soft, and mixed with jujube mushroom, nut osmanthus and cooked lard, which is sweet and soft.

The filled Jiang rice embryo is doughed into a lantern festival the size of a duck's egg, and there are three in a bowl and simmered in sweet soup.

The sweet soup is prepared for a few hours while waiting for the pulp to form, and the white fungus rolls are torn into small pieces, diced sweet potatoes are diced, the white nuts are fragrant, and the sweet melons are stewed.

The melon album is a snack that can be eaten by any rouge, and the winter melon strips are carved out of patterns or fruit-like embryos, and the brown sugar candied fruit is crystal clear, crisp and tender, and can protect the heart and liver.

Before she had time to taste a few pieces, she gave Xiao Mei this girl as a soup stock.

Boiled into two bowls of duck mother twist, Xiao Mei tasted one by herself, and saw three round and beautiful ones into the bowl, and left the rest of the crooked melons and cracked dates for Ren Yan for dinner, and happily carried the food box and ran to the other door.

When Ren Yan got off work, Mai Fenghui held the bowl of duck twist and ate it until his ears were red, Xiao Mei didn't need to say it, it was just a talking basket, and it didn't stop for an hour.

She didn't look much and came out of the Pheasant Hall.

Outside, Gu Tingwen's personal entourage was waiting: "The seventh master's interview has been delayed, and he has not returned from the office yet, so he ordered us to send Miss Ren." ”

"No, go to the Gokokuji Temple." She pressed the notes in her pocket.

The handbook was not written, only a few medicinal recipes were memorized, which were not common, so I specially gave Gu Tingheng to see them first.

He took it, repaired a few places, and asked her with a smile: "Brother and sister came alone, just for Fangzi?" ”

Ren Yan shook his head: "I want to ask about the fifth master." ”

"What did the second brother tell you?" Gu Tingheng didn't expect her to be so direct, so he smiled, "Why don't you ask Tingwen?" ”

"It's sad," she said. ”

Gu Tingheng nodded, "Yes, the saddest thing is Tingwen, they were born and raised by a mother, and their front and back feet are separated by half an hour." ”

Twin brothers, naturally other siblings want to be close, but I didn't expect to say goodbye in that way.

"Everyone in the world said that Tingwen couldn't bear to kill the fifth child, so he killed him ruthlessly, but he never had such a thought, it was his father, and his father killed the two of them."

Gu Tingheng smiled: "The most important thing for the Gu family is their son. ”

"The fifth master is seriously ill, and time is running out, why should he ......" Ren Yan couldn't bear to say.

"Face!"

Gu Tingheng played with the Buddha beads and mocked: "The family took care of it but didn't dare to get close, and once Xiao Wu escaped late at night, grabbed the water with Huazi, and bit the carrion with wild dogs, and asked the reporter to take a photo and publish it in the newspaper." ”

The Gu family has always been high, how can they tolerate such an embarrassed son in the world, people are caught back and stabbed through the chest, and the master of the Gu family personally ordered the hands of the guards.

Externally, it was claimed that the fifth master of the Gu family had passed away many days earlier, the newspaper reports were untrue, the newspaper was untrue, the newspaper was closed, and the reporter was silent.

Gu Tingheng's hand holding the Buddha beads stopped: "Tingwen returned home after a long journey, and went to visit Xiao Wu without changing his clothes, and what he saw was the knife in his heart. He sat there until the girl entered the door in the early morning, and then there was a matter of the seventh master killing his siblings. ”

Ren Yan was speechless.

Gu Tingheng annotated a few things and left the note: "The poor monk will take a closer look, and after three days, my brother and sister will order someone to pick it up." ”

"Fourth Brother Xie."

He sent her out of the temple.

There was a car waiting outside, the windows were down, and the man in the back seat was resting with his face tilted back and his eyes closed, with a camera and a neat stack of manuscripts pressed against it, and a black pen pressed against it.

Gu Tingheng recited the Buddha: "Tut-tut, hypocritical benefactor." ”

Gu Tingwen got out of the car, and Gu Tingheng closed the mountain gate tightly in front of his face.

"Your interview is over?" Ren Yan smiled first and threw himself into his arms, "I heard that you will be better for a while when I leave." ”

He also laughed: "It's over, I ate a few teas, it's not good." ”

If it's not right, you can't keep the seventh master.

She tilted her face back and laughed at him for being critical.

"The notes are written?"

The car drove away, and he asked her, quite deliberately.

He should know, but Ren Yan pretended not to know: "I only picked a few uncommon things, I can't make up my mind, let's ask the fourth brother first, and don't worry about it when I go back, I think I will also use it for the Yuanri banquet." ”

Gu Tingwen thought for a while: "There will be three food tastings before the first day, the 25th, the 11th and 20th of the next month. On the 20th, the Secretary-General will tell you the final list. ”

Ren Yan counted the days: "Twenty-five?" The latter is Miss Xu's body, and she has to prepare after twenty-two, so she doesn't have a few days to spare. ”

Coupled with the list in the Pheasant Hall, she had to turn again.

He held her hand and chuckled: "Hard work as a master." ”

"You're welcome, does the Seventh Master have a reward?"

He turned his head: "What do you want?" ”

"Everything?" She stared into his eyes with interest.

He was not fooled: "Let's talk about it first." ”

She held her chin and shook her head: "How boring this is." ”

He knocked on her head, intimacy, indulgence.

At the fork in the street, Ren Yan instructed the coachman to drive to Gu's house, and explained to Gu Tingwen: "I am greedy for the comfort of the bedding in the seventh master's house, which is very suitable for me, so I don't want to move the nest, and I will come and go often in the future." ”

He smiled: "It's an honor." ”

Taste the bitterness of the world, and finally get warm.
