Chapter 36: The Gluttonous Guest
Liang Youhui listened and nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly." So I didn't let them look for it anymore. Sometimes, when I get hungry, I ask my grandmother and ask her to get me something to eat...... Hee-hee-hee-hee......"
The maidservant girl who had fallen into the red gold ruyi pendant heard this, and coughed softly again.
Liang Youhui showed a look of annoyance on her face, and her sitting posture was quite straight.
Shen Muqing smiled slightly, exchanged a few words with Liang Youhui, and called Bubu Bushuo, Lahu sauce, and vegetarian cakes.
Liang Youhui looked at it, looking salivating, but he endured it, and took a silver spoon of rattan to spread the lama sauce on the vegetarian cake, and ate it in small bites. But with such elegance, she insisted for a moment, and immediately began to eat in large gulps.
Squinting his eyes, the whole expression looked very satisfied.
Shen Muqing suddenly had a sentence in his mind that he had seen in a magazine - people who love food love life.
She covered her mouth and smiled, and her mood became much better.
The servant girl coughed right beside them.
Shen Muqing smiled and said to Zhuji behind him: "This sister is afraid that her throat is a little uncomfortable, go down and drink some Chuanbei pear water." ”
Zhuji walked up to the servant girl with a smile and whispered, "Sister come with me!" ”
The maid's white face was swollen red, and she stared at Liang Youhui with her eyes.
Liang Youhui took a mouthful of vegetarian cake in his mouth and swallowed hard.
Shen Muqing hurriedly said: "It's cold today, let the people around you go down to eat too-this is also the thoughtfulness of the master." ”
Liang Youhui nodded repeatedly, swallowed the mouthful of cake, and said, "Sister Zisha, you and Danzhu should also go to dinner." ”
Shen Muqing glanced at the maid named Zisha with a smile.
Zisha hurriedly lowered her head, answered softly, and retreated with the other servant girl brought by Liang Youhui.
Shen Muqing looked very intimate with Liang Youhui, and said in a low voice: "Send them all away, we called crabs to eat!" ”
Liang Youhui was stunned: "This season, how can there be such a thing?" ”
Shen Muqing smiled mysteriously: "You just wait!" ”
Liang Youhui was very confused: "Others say that your family is very simple - this, even our family does not have it." ”
The annual salary of the Great Zhou Dynasty is one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and the emperor also draws three hundred taels of silver from the Internal Affairs Office every year...... Looking at the Shen family's food and clothing, she didn't worry about anything. Now listening to Liang Youhui say this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Know how to hide clumsy, in this human-based society, the safety factor is relatively higher.
She hurriedly smiled and explained: "This is the menu given by the auspicious blessings...... If they hadn't been helping out in my house, I wouldn't have known I would have eaten this thing. ”
Liang Youhui nodded seriously: "The things of auspicious blessings are unexpected. ”
While the two were talking, Zhuji had already carried a small bamboo basket in a red lacquer tray, and there were two crabs lying on top of the basket full of flowers.
Liang Youhui's eyes were burning, looking at the crab's expression like a woman seeing jewelry, excited and a little at a loss: "I really didn't expect it...... I really didn't expect ......."
Shen Muqing personally sandwiched one of the crabs into the small dish in front of Liang Youhui, covered his mouth and smiled: "You taste it." ”
Liang Youhui admired it for a while, then picked up the chopsticks and peeled off the crab shell.
The crab shell landed on the kang table at once, making a crisp sound.
Liang Youhui was shocked: "This, what is this?" ”
"It's painted with tortoiseshell." Shen Muqing smiled happily, "At this time, how can there be crabs." ”
At the beginning, when the people of Ji Xiangfu gave her the menu, she was also shocked.
"Then ...... here," Liang Youhui said, pointing to the shell full of "crab roe".
"You have seen a lot, taste it, don't look like a crab." Shen Muqing said with a smile, "It is said that this is also one of the signboards of auspicious fortune. ”
Liang Youhui listened, and immediately picked up a small spoon and scooped a little and put it in his mouth to taste.
Shen Muqing asked, "How?" ”
Liang Youhui didn't answer, and scooped another spoonful and put it in his mouth.
After a moment, she frowned slightly, and scooped another spoonful into her mouth.
After repeating this four or five times, her eyes lit up, and she shouted excitedly: "I ate it, I ate it......"
Shen Muqing matched her joy and said with a smile: "What is it?" What is it? I didn't eat it at the time. ”
"It's yellow croaker. It is made of yellow croaker. She tilted her head, the spoon was held to her cheek, and her eyes were bright, "Yellow croaker, add a little salted egg ......"
"Is it delicious?"
"Hmm!" Liang Youhui's eyes smiled into a slit, "If you dip it in some vinegar, it will be even more delicious." ”
Shen Muqing smiled: "What's so rare about this...... Jewels, go, decorate with vinegar with a saucer. ”
Liang Youhui once again showed a satisfied expression.
With such an episode, Liang Youhui's people became a lot more cheerful and natural, and there was a lively atmosphere in the house. After a meal, it is natural to eat to the satisfaction of the guests and hosts.
After the meal, Shen Muqing asked Liang Youhui: "Do you drink West Lake Longjing, or Dongting Junshan?" ”
A look of hesitation flashed across Liang Youhui's face.
Shen Muqing smiled: "Or do you have anything you like to drink?" Such as Wuyi, Lu'an, Yinzhen, Maojian, Xianyang, and Plum Slice are all available. ”
The hesitation on Liang Youhui's face was even stronger, as if there was no way to make up her mind what tea to drink.
Shen Muqing introduced to her: "Longjing is clear, Wuyi has a long flavor, Xianyang is mellow, and pineapple is fragrant...... It's all pretty good. ”
When Liang Youhui heard this, she immediately smiled like a flower: "Does my sister also understand tea?" ”
Residence and migration of the body, nourishment and transfer of qi. Shen Muqing has also changed his living habits in the Shen family in the past few years, and he began to learn to drink tea.
She smiled slightly: "General! ”
Liang Youhui said happily: "My third brother also knows tea. ”
"Oh!" Shen Muqing smiled and entertained her: "What about you?" What kind of tea do you like? ”
"I love pineapples." Liang Youhui's face was slightly red, and she looked very shy: "My third brother said that I was vulgar." ”
"Oh!" Shen Muqing was stunned, "Why?" Pineapple is also one of the best teas. ”
"My third brother said it smelled too strong."
Shen Muqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Then what kind of tea does he admire?" ”
"He likes Lu'an melon slices." When Liang Youhui said this, her eyes sparkled, with a proud expression, "Although it is not fragrant and bitter, it is the nature of tea." ”
Shen Muqing's mind came up with the image of a Yishi dressed in white and walking on a wild path in the steep mountains and infested with clouds and smoke.
She couldn't help but smile.
The scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty made this tune. is as "worldly" as Xiao Sa, after all, it is still rare!
"I also have pineapple tea here," Shen Muqing warmly entertained Liang Youhui, "and it's Xiuning pineapple." As he spoke, he instructed Luomei to make tea.
Liang Youhui nodded with a smile: "What kind of tea does my sister like?" ”
Shen Muqing smiled mysteriously: "Pu'er! ”
"My sister is the same as my third brother, they both like to drink nature tea."
Relatively speaking, Pu'er is also a tea without tea aroma.
Shen Muqing smiled slightly, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Liang Youhui smiled and said, "What does my sister usually do?" ”
Shen Muqing was stunned when he heard this.
To be honest, in the seven years she has been in the Shen family, reading is learning, embroidering is learning, cooking is cooking, and it is also a kind of learning, and she really doesn't have time to feel that she can "entertain" according to her wishes.
Liang Youhui seemed to be very sensitive, and said busily: "I usually like embroidery at home. I heard my mother say that the master of your family embroidery was the one who served the Queen Mother in the palace...... It's not like me, I learned from my mother. ”
Shen Muqing hurriedly gathered his thoughts and said with a smile: "Sister is good like this...... I invited Aunt Du because my wife was sick in bed all the year round and really didn't have the energy to teach me. ”
Liang Youhui asked with great concern: "Is my wife's illness better?" ”
The Liang family sent medicine to his wife several times, and Liang Youhui probably heard about Li's illness from his parents.
Shen Muqing didn't want to talk about these things, and said with a smile: "Take the medicine and keep it." ”
"It's good to have medicine." When Liang Youhui heard this, she looked at Shen Muqing with an envious gaze: "My sister is very weekdays!" ”
Shen Muqing was slightly stunned, a little puzzled.
Liang Youhui looked a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I heard my grandmother and mother say that you served in front of Mrs. Shen when you were very young...... My mother was sick, so I fed her a glass of water and spilled it all on the futon......"
Shen Muqing saw that she had a clear gaze, spoke frankly, and had no sincerity like a child, and couldn't help but have a little liking in her heart. Seeing that Liang Youhui was a little uneasy, she hurriedly smiled and comforted her: "I was also careless at first, but later I got better." Besides, I hope I won't do this for the rest of my life......" said, with a few sighs in his words, "Only when I am old will I know how lucky I am that my parents are alive and healthy!" ”
"I, I didn't mean that!" Liang Youhui listened to Shen Muqing's tone, and hurriedly explained, "I, I think you are very capable, unlike me, you can't do anything well......
Shen Muqing saw that she was in a hurry, and said with a smile: "I just feel it, don't be nervous." I know you're well-intentioned. ”
When Liang Youhui heard this, she breathed a long sigh of relief and said shyly: "I, I can't speak, if you say something that shouldn't be, don't take it to heart." ”
Shen Muqing couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
She used to go to various houses with the Li family, and the girls, grandmothers, and wives of the Xunqi family also met a lot, some were graceful, some were lonely and arrogant, some were snarky, and some were arrogant...... But Liang Youhui is so cautious and cautious to the point of being timid and cowardly, and this is the first time she has seen it.
Soon, Luomei personally brought the tea.
A pair of bell cups with a butterfly pattern in pastel flowers. The white glaze is lifelike with a yellow juju flower and two butterflies.
Liang Youhui looked at the cup: "At my sister's house, I seem to like pastel very much." ”
Shen Muqing smiled and said: "The pastel is bright and lively." ”
Liang Youhui smiled and agreed: "I also think - however, our family likes to use blue and white, sweet and white." But I also have pastel cups in my house, but they are not as beautiful as those in my sister's house. ”
The Liang family is the family of the prince, and the solemn and solemn talk about it is naturally better to be blue and white and sweet white.
