Chapter XXXIV
How could the fourth elder brother not notice Fu Jin's small movements, but he didn't want to poke it, so he simply took advantage of the situation and was pulled back to the nave by her, and someone had already set the table at the other end.
Yun Lan breathed a sigh of relief, God knows that when he was in the small study just now, he felt like a lioness who had invaded the territory of the Lion King, facing a double crisis, life and body. The fourth elder brother doesn't know what's going on, but he's very keen on some things anyway, but the land is relatively barren at present, and he can't sow seeds. But it seems that because of this, he is more happy with it.
Yunlan is afraid, after all, the other party is young, and her blood is just something, will she refuse or refuse at that time? If she didn't refuse, in hindsight, would that master be annoyed and angry, and dismiss her.
When the red dates saw the masters coming in, they were going to make tea.
Yunlan stopped her: "You go to the small kitchen and talk to Mama Liu to make sweet and salty rice balls." ”
Are the rice balls still salty?
Red dates are authentic Jiangnan children, especially sweet taste, when I was a child, I loved to eat the kind of glutinous rice balls drizzled with osmanthus sauce, and she could eat a big bowl in one breath. It's a pity that her family is poor, and it's good to divide one or two, more often than not, it's just a gluttony, but compared to her cousins at home, she is actually much happier. When she got older, her parents separated and came out, thinking that she wanted to study to her younger brother, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she begged someone to be sold to the palace, and she didn't know what happened to her father and mother and younger brother?
When she arrived at the small kitchen, Mama Liu happened to be eating dumplings, and when she saw a red date, she stuffed one for her.
"Why are you here? Did Fujin call you? "Although there is a small kitchen, Yunlan doesn't solve every meal here, and more often he takes the money and orders a few dishes. Up and down, she, Fu Jin, did this, and the Song family and the Li family had some ideas in their hearts, so they could only honestly eat the meals delivered from the dining room. Of course, the fourth elder brother doesn't need to be like this, but if he is in the elder brother's office, he will basically eat and live with Yunlan.
Hongjuju's mind was still thinking about his relatives, but he just said Fujin's request.
"I know the sweet rice balls, but this salty rice ball?" Coincidentally, Mama Liu is also a sweet party person, not that she doesn't like to eat salty, but this sugar was a precious item in ancient times, and basically few people would not like it.
"Fu Jin said that, there must be something, right?" Red dates are also a little unconvinced, but although she has only been here for a long time, she is extremely respectful and convinced of Yunlan.
Mama Liu also saw that not only the red dates, but also the other three second-class maids and a few little maids were very good at worshipping Fujin, of course, this is on the surface, as for the inside, the time is too short, and no one dares to pack tickets.
"Then do you want to ask?" You can't go over and tell your masters, no. Even now I go to the dining room to inquire, and it's a little too late to come and go, but I can't do nothing.
The voices of Mama Liu and Hongjube talking are not small, one is the housekeeper in the small kitchen, and the food she cooks on weekdays is not less rewarded by Fujin, and the other is the people in Fujin's house, even if they lower their voices to speak, some people will prick up their ears to eavesdrop.
When she said this, someone immediately responded.
Mama Liu looked like a maid who burned the fire, and she looked a little dark, and when she was assigned, the steward thought she was too dark, so she threw her into the kitchen.
The face of the person who has been dealing with the fire all day seems to be darker.
But even so, the uneasiness could be seen in her face.
Mama Liu smiled and said, "Black girl, what did you just say?" Have you ever eaten it? Don't be nervous, you say slowly, if the master is satisfied, it will also be your blessing. "As long as she can complete the task, she won't compete with the same maid for this credit. Even Fu Jin didn't say that Mama Liu was willing to take care of the other party.
The red dates also nodded on the side, and if they could really make it, she also thanked the other party.
On the other side, Yun Lan was already smiling and talking about the interesting story of the partisan dispute.
This person who is the emperor is very taboo, as soon as Yunlan began, his face was not very good-looking, and he wanted to reprimand the other party, and when he saw her with a naughty smile on her face, he couldn't say anything.
And Yunlan started and quickly talked about the salty and sweet party dispute.
The fourth elder brother's face became better little by little, and he also heard the interesting things in it, to say that the fourth elder brother actually didn't understand much, food? As long as it's delicious, isn't it?
It's like Fu Jin waving a big flag in his mouth, holding sweet zongzi and sweet rice balls as sharp weapons, and smashing them against salty rice dumplings and salty rice balls, which is really unimaginable.
What a waste!
The fourth elder brother glanced at Yunlan and stopped talking.
Yun Lan stopped talking.
Isn't it funny? Or the other party's laughter is too high.
Wait until the red dates are brought up and the rice balls in two large porcelain pots.
Yunlan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why are there so many?" "Although I am hungry, the glutinous rice balls are made of glutinous rice, and it is not easy to digest if I eat too much, not to mention that there are enough three or four people to eat in this big pot, and there are two large pots in front of me.
Red dates just laugh.
Yunlan didn't say anything, someone would take over if he couldn't finish eating. Although she is not used to eating other people's leftovers, it seems to be a kind of grace in this era.
Sweet glutinous rice balls actually have many flavors, especially the kind of stuffing, which can be coated with bean paste, jam, etc., and the same is true for salty glutinous rice balls.
But the two bowls in front of her were not what she imagined.
The rice balls or small balls inside are more suitable, all white and round and small, the sweet one is drizzled with osmanthus sauce, and you can see the golden osmanthus petals, and I feel that the air is sweet before I eat it.
And the fourth elder brother in front of him is also the same small ball, but there are also sliced rice cakes, cabbage, ham slices and mushrooms in it, and there are thickeners in it, and the soup is a little thick.
Yunlan hit a bowl by himself, so he let the red dates take the rest away, and stared at the two small bowls in front of him in a daze.
The fourth elder brother saw it in his eyes and deliberately kept silent.
He somewhat understands Xiao Fujin's struggle, of course he doesn't understand very much, but what is so difficult about eating, just look back and let people do it.
But as Fu Jin said at the beginning, if it involves partisanship, it is different.
There is something good about food, but it does not prevent him from translating this concept to the government, such as the princeling party and the big brother party, aren't they both the sons of Huang Ama? Speaking of which, the position of the prince is higher, but there are still people who support the eldest brother, and some people have to be salty, and some people hold high the banner of sweetness.
Yunlan was just about to eat both.
The fourth elder brother had already spoken in a hurry: "Fujin, this is a source of left and right, and it is not good to see the idea of changing ideas. As he spoke, he smiled and reversed the sweet rice balls in front of him with the salty rice balls on Yunlan's side. Originally, he still thought that although he was still following the prince in this life, he should not make the eldest brother so stiff. But in fact, everyone knows that he is the crown prince, if he really befriends the eldest brother, it will not backfire, and both sides will target him.
Looking at the two bowls of identical sweet rice balls in front of him, Yunlan was a little speechless.
