Chapter 157: Green Vegetable Noodles
The two female guards hurriedly saluted after seeing Lin Qingqing come back, saying that no one else had come during this time, and they couldn't help but look at the more people behind them with some scrutiny.
Lin Qingqing explained, "This is an old woman I met by accident on the road, and it seems that she was lost with her family, and she brought it back with her when she was so old." ”
The duty of the female guards is to protect Lin Qingqing's safety, and it is not wise to bring strangers back casually, and it is no wonder that they are so vigilant.
In the end, it was Hui'er who stepped forward to dispel the vigilance of the female guard: "I have already checked this person, and he is an ordinary old woman." ”
Lin Qingqing said gratefully, "Thank you Hui'er." ”
The latter waved his hand again and again, "In the future, you still have to be more vigilant, if there are people who deliberately take advantage of this, then it is too late to regret it, they are also to protect your safety, please forgive me." ”
"I don't mean to blame, thank you this time." Lin Qingqing nodded and thanked her, she is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between good and bad, but the matter of this old woman really annoyed her, so she brought people back.
She guessed that this old woman should also be from a big family, and then she was thrown here by her family because she was stupid, and sent servants to serve her, but she didn't know that these servants saw that she was stupid and committed this kind of thing!
Lin Qingqing hates this kind of person the most in his life, he doesn't want to take care of the elderly anymore when he has money, thinking that it will be okay to spend some money to call a few people to come over to serve, this kind of thing is often unpleasant in his previous life.
Not to mention how the servant would treat the old man, the lack of care alone disgusted her.
"Ahh The old woman seemed to like Lin Qingqing very much, walked up to her and pointed to her mouth, Lin Qingqing suddenly said, "This is hungry, Ah Chun went to the kitchen to see if there was any better fine porridge and the like, so I brought some over." ”
"Slave and maid, go now."
Lin Qingqing helped the old woman sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and Aunt Li sighed, "What kind of sin is this, such an old woman is casually thrown here and ignored, such a person will be punished sooner or later!" ”
As soon as she thought of the faces of those evil servants, she was angry, she was usually tough, but she had never scolded such an ugly person, these people were really vulgar to a certain level!
"Don't be angry, don't worry about these people!"
Ah Chun came back soon, brought a bowl of rice porridge and a plate of pickles, it was already past lunch time, and she also searched for a long time to find a bowl of porridge in the innermost iron pot, which was thin and not delicious to look at.
Fortunately, I found some pickles in the jar, but there was nothing else, so Ah Chun had to bring it over.
Lin Qingqing looked at this porridge that was almost crystal clear, and frowned slightly, "Is there nothing else?" ”
Ah Chun said helplessly, "The slaves and maids have been looking for a long time, this porridge is still hard to find, there is no one in the kitchen, only some shriveled vegetarian dishes." ”
Lin Qingqing comforted the old woman and got up, "Take me to the kitchen, since there are some green vegetables, let's make a vegetable porridge." ”
"But before I came, His Royal Highness said that I wouldn't let you cook...... "Ah Chun's face was embarrassed, "Why don't you go as a slave?" ”
"You haven't usually cooked, so I'll come, make a porridge without effort." Lin Qingqing sighed slightly, "This old woman has also suffered a lot, although she is wearing brocade and satin, but her body is skinny, presumably all the silver has been greedy by those mothers-in-law." ”
"It's a pathetic one, too." Ah Chun was very sympathetic.
During the conversation, the two walked to the door of the kitchen, and when they went in, they saw that as Ah Chun said, several cauldrons were empty, and some vegetables were placed on the stove, which were more common, and rice and flour were piled up in the corner.
"Look, there's nothing here!"
"Isn't there something, you go and see the seasoning or something, presumably the aunt is also hungry, since there is flour, just make a noodle."
Ah Chun smiled happily at this time, "I still have food with you, and the slave will go!" ”
Lin Qingqing brought a wooden basin to draw water and noodles, and if the noodles wanted to be strong, they had to be kneaded many times, and finally pulled into long strips and cut into wide noodles and stacked on the panel.
Ah Chun inadvertently found a few eggs when he was rummaging, and hurriedly sent them over as if offering treasures, and then fetched water to wash the vegetables.
"It's a total of six eggs, so one for each person!" Lin Qingqing boiled the noodles, put in the seasonings, put the blanched vegetables and fried eggs on the pot, and the egg and green vegetable noodles with full color and flavor were ready.
Lin Qingqing tasted the taste, the noodles were strong, and the soup was light.
"Come with me, the old woman is probably starving, too."
Not only was he hungry, it was like he hadn't eaten for a few days, but when he saw the noodles, he pounced on them, picked up the chopsticks and devoured them, and everyone was almost stunned, what kind of abuse had he suffered before!
A bowl of green vegetable noodles is so fragrant...
Taking into account everyone, Lin Qingqing specially cooked a pot slowly this time, and everyone also took turns to eat, the two female guards ate the food made by Lin Qingqing for the first time, and after eating the first bite, they sped up, before I thought that the old woman was panicked after a few meals, but I didn't expect this simple green vegetable noodles to be so delicious!
The noodles are full of toughness and the aroma of clear soup, and then I take a bite of the fried tender yellow egg, and look at the golden brown soft heart flowing from it, and suddenly I feel that it is a good choice to come here to eat vegetarian food!
The old woman put the noodles and eggs in her stomach, and finally took the soup bowl and drank it with the soup.
"Ahh It could be seen that she was eating very happily, Lin Qingqing wiped the soup stains on the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Let's live here tonight, I won't let you go back to that place again." ”
The old woman looked at her earnestly and showed a smirk for a long time.
Approaching the evening, Lin Qingqing took Ah Chun to worship the Buddha, Aunt Li was a little tired because of the rush along the way, so she rested in the wing room and took care of the old woman by the way, this time only Hui'er and Ah Chun came with her.
After the Buddha ceremony, Lin Qingqing met Master Huiming, and stepped forward to ask about the old woman.
"Some stupid old woman?" Huiming couldn't react for a while, "There doesn't seem to be such a number one person in Chang'an Temple, where did the donor see it?" ”
Lin Qingqing briefly said the previous thing, but Huiming fell silent all of a sudden after hearing it.
"Master?"
"Amitabha, the old man promised others not to say anything about this matter, and asked the donor to forgive me." Huiming had some apologies on his face, "Someone will come to take the old woman back in the next few days, and the donor can rest assured." ”
Lin Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, since someone came, she really didn't want to see those evil servants treat the old man like this.
"Thank you for your advice."
"The donor is gracious." After saying that, Huiming turned around and left, Ah Chun smiled on the side and said, "Then Miss, you don't have to worry, when the time comes, you have to talk about this matter to the master's family, and take care of the arrogance of those mothers-in-law!" ”
"I can't say it too early, if the master himself doesn't care, then this old woman probably won't have a good life after taking it back."
Lin Qingqing is not as optimistic as her, after all, this matter is sometimes really uncertain.
