Chapter 6 Eating dumplings
"Whose family is this child?" A middle-aged beautiful woman in a plain moire brocade casual dress asked.
"Madam, she bought it from outside three years ago, and she is not a child." Grandma Huang hurriedly replied, "Now I work as a handyman in the kitchen. ”
"Well, he looks handsome, and he really buried himself as a handyman in the kitchen. I'll stay here and take care of the girl for the time being. ”
Madame raised her eyes and looked at Yu Wei lightly and said: "Yun'er likes you, and she will be waiting for you in the future, if she finds that you have any slippery thoughts, she will immediately send you to the selling house." ”
Yuwei bowed her head and carefully blessed her wife, "Yuwei understands, she must do her best to serve the good girl." ”
The lady snorted lightly, stretched out a snow-white jade hand wearing gold and sapphire to the purple kite, and said, "I'm tired, go back." ”
The purple kite stepped forward, carefully supported it, and took the lamp in front of Grandma Huang, and walked out of the yard.
Yun'er seemed to be tired, her little head hung on Yuwei's shoulder, and she fell into a deep sleep.
"Follow me." Mama Li held an octagonal glass lamp and introduced Yuwei into the inner room.
There were two beds in the room, one large and one small, covered with a thin blue brocade quilt.
Mama Li asked Yuwei to put Yun'er on the big bed.
The moment Yun'er touched the bed, she shook a little, opened her eyes slightly, and grabbed Yuwei's collar.
"Forget it, you take her to lie down for a while." Mama Li was helpless, "I'll go boil some bathing water." ”
"Yun'er, my sister is here, sleep." Yuwei patted lightly, coaxing the villain.
Now it's really good to let yourself take care of Yun'er, and she has finally jumped from a miscellaneous servant to a third-class maid.
When Yun'er grows up, she can still get some light during the festival, and she will go out for a walk outside to appreciate the style of the flower capital in the east.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
In her opinion, it is much more appropriate to be a personal maid of a female protagonist than to be an aunt. When the time comes, I can speak in front of the little master, and I should be able to have a little autonomy in marriage or something.
With her own appearance, she can finally choose a satisfactory one from the group of guards in the outer courtyard.
can't blame Yu Wei for not having high ambitions, and now that she is an identity, she can only take one step at a time.
I thought in my heart, and after a while, I fell asleep.
A month later, Yuwei realized that she had thought too much.
Although this Miss Yun'er is born to Mrs., she has never been treated well by Mrs. and her family, and now she has not even taken a big name, let alone a family tree.
It is estimated that because Yun'er often has convulsions, the elders in the family don't think they can feed them at all.
This small courtyard house sits west and faces east, and was originally a place to place flower pots, flower stands, hoes and other sundries in the back flower yard. Now there is a fence around it, and the three huts are enclosed in it, making it a place to house Yun'er.
Each of the three huts had a small courtyard in the front and back, and the back courtyard was the same size as the front yard, with no weeds, only a shed full of flowers and hoes, and a high platform and a deep well with a cover.
This deep well was specially drilled two years ago for Yun'er, who could not drink the water of the well.
There are three rooms in the courtyard, one is a bedroom, one is a living room, and one is a kitchenette.
Because Yun'er has a weak physique and is allergic to Linghua, in terms of food, Mama Li went to the front yard to get rice, noodles, vegetables and other ingredients and came back to make them herself.
On that day, Mama Li locked the sleeping Yun'er at home because she went to the front yard to get the ingredients.
In Yuwei's opinion, it is best to let yourself make food. But in Mama Li's eyes, this is naked discrimination against Yun'er.
Because, most of the things she brought back were not in good condition, just ordinary home-cooked rice dishes.
Like the Lingmi Lingmian Mountain Delicacies that other young ladies and sons serve every day, Yun'er has no share.
Not only that, Yun'er, as a young lady, must have a monthly pocket money.
However, Mama Li said that for three and a half years since Yun'er was born, she has never seen a penny.
Yun'er eats some vegetables and vegetarian food every day. Except for a small piece of beef that can be brought back during the festival, there is usually no shredded meat visible.
Mama Li took pity on Yun'er's gluttony, and often took out some silver and copper plates to buy a braised foie gras meat cake or something to bring to Yun'er to eat.
However, Yun'er doesn't seem to be used to eating the food outside, and every time she eats it, she will have a seizure, which scares Mama Li and doesn't dare to buy it anymore.
Mama Li said that from the birth of Miss Yun'er to the present, the lady has come to see her ten times in total, the master has not been here once, the eldest son has been here six times, and the younger son has been here three times.
As for the other brothers and sisters, they didn't come once, but the two aunts came a few times, but they were all blocked out of the yard by Mama Li.
"Humph! Disturbed kindness! Those aunts are just here to see the jokes. Mama Li said disdainfully.
"Alas! Madame didn't like the girl, just because she hurt her body when she gave birth to her, and she could no longer give the master a leaf. Mama Li sighed and said, "There are still those two vixens at home, and the master doesn't go to the lady's house much after that." ”
"Originally, there was an old lady pressing, and the old man went to sit in the lady's room every five or ten. Now that the old lady is gone, no one can control the old man anymore. Mama Li pouted and said: "If it weren't for the imperial court's regulations that officials below the first rank could not take more than two concubines, according to the master's temperament, the family could form two rehearsal teams." ”
Yuwei listened to Mama Li's nagging while chopping vegetables on the stove and preparing to mix dumpling filling.
Yun'er played in circles around Yuwei's legs.
Today, Mama Li only took back a bundle of greens and a few radish, and got a little sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, sesame oil.
Alas, seeing that Tian'er is all this, it is really worse than the food of Godmother Yu Mother-in-law.
This month, I turned over the tricks to make radishes, greens, pumpkins, loofahs and other things.
No, I'm going to make a dumpling for them to eat today.
Yuwei cut the green vegetables, put the water aside, and began to cut the shredded radish again, ready to make a cold sweet and sour shredded radish.
After finishing these, I dragged the little heel worm Yun'er and went to the backyard to pull a few coriander.
These coriander were all grown by herself some time ago.
In the open space in the backyard, she cut out a small piece of land when she had nothing to do, and sprinkled it with green cabbage radish and coriander seeds.
It is estimated that after a while, the greens will be able to be picked and eaten.
Yuwei kneaded the noodles, cut the dough, rolled out the dumpling skin with a smooth wooden stick, and then pinched dozens of green vegetable dumplings.
After the fat dumplings were put into the pot, Yun'er and Mama Li stared at the steaming pot with good eyes.
Until the dumplings were cooked and served in a large bowl, the old and the young never left their eyes.
"Let's eat." Yu smiled, "Be careful that it's burned." ”
Mama Li hula la-la-la ate a big bowl of dumplings and half a bowl of sweet and sour radish shreds, and sighed: "I said Ah Wei, your skills are much better than Mother Liu." The old man lived to be in his forties, and he had never eaten pasta made of this method. ”
"Delicious! Yun'er still wants it. Yun'er has already eaten five or six dumplings, but she still refuses to put down her chopsticks.
"Yun'er, let's eat nectar cakes next day, can we eat dumplings at night?" Yuwei is extremely patient with Yun'er, and Yun'er is also obedient to her.
"Well, Yun'er wants to eat nectar cakes and drink nectar water." Yun'er nodded her little head and slid down her arms, "Yun'er still has to pick flowers." ”
Today's Yun'er is secretly irrigated with flower liquid from time to time, and her body is getting better and better, and her little face is still ruddy and fat. Every day, I have to go to the Linghua Courtyard to fiddle with the Linghua, and I haven't had a seizure for a long time.
Mama Li was also extremely happy, and thought that Yuwei made some strange and delicious meals every day to make Yun'er fat, and her body became stronger.
Yun'er couldn't touch the spirit flower before, it must be because her body was too thin. Mama Li thinks so.
