Chapter 245: Fulu Suxi
The guests in the front yard felt Washington's intentions for the old lady's birthday banquet because of a bowl of longevity noodles, and they continued to appreciate it, and they were more looking forward to the next dishes.
Hua Biluo, who got the red envelope, happily returned to the kitchen, and handed the red envelope to Hua Qingyan without looking at it: "Sister, the red envelope rewarded by Mrs. Hua." ”
Hua Qingyan didn't answer: "If you are rewarded, you will accept it, and don't be taboo about anything, the old lady has a big birthday, and we are also happy." ”
Hua Biluo looked at Hua Qingyan, who was busy again, so she had no choice but to stuff the red envelope into her arms. Hua Biluo has actually taken a lot of private houses, every time she goes out of the stall, Hua Qingyan will divide the money she earns into several shares, Hua Qingyan keeps one for herself, and the others are Hua Biluo and Hu Baizhi's, sometimes Zhou Xiaoyan goes to help and shares the money. Hua Biluo doesn't need to spend money to eat and live at home, except for spending some on the New Year's Festival, there is really nowhere to spend.
Hua Biluo thought about it, the money was saved first, and when something happened one day, the money could be taken out for emergency.
With the dishes on the table, the atmosphere in the front yard is even more warm, and the guests who came today are all rich and noble, because they are rich and care more about their appetite, so most of them have tasted the dishes of Guanlanju. As soon as the dish is served, the guests recognize where it came from.
Some people who have a good relationship with the Hua family even joked, saying that now that the Hua family has a big face, they can actually invite the chef of Guanlanju! The longevity noodles are even more wonderful, and no one can taste what ingredients are used to make them. Because of the novelty and deliciousness, everyone praised the cook fiercely.
Everyone was enjoying the food, and the little guy outside the door welcomed a group of people in, Hua Lu immediately stood up and greeted him as soon as he saw the visitor: "Oh, the presence of Governor Lu really makes my Washington Mansion shine!" ”
The person who came was Lu Zhi's family, and he was followed by the Liu family. Lu Zhi smiled and said a few words to the three Hua Lu brothers, and was arranged by the three of them to the main table to be adjacent to Mrs. Hua. Even the Liu family was arranged at a table next to it.
The people of Lu Zhifu are eye-catching, and they are much more luxurious than others in terms of clothing and dress, which instantly shows their identity. And they also brought their daughters, one of whom wore a white gauze hat, and covered his whole head tightly, so that people could not see his face. However, the more this is the case, the easier it is to arouse the curiosity of others.
And the girl with the white hood is Liu Mengying, whose hair has been shaved. During this time, she has been hiding in the Lu family and not going out, and was frightened by Yu Jiamin's fierce actions, but she couldn't afford to take revenge, and hid in the room every day and looked out the window in a daze, the demented appearance made people feel pity.
The two families persuaded them several times, but Liu Mengying still looked depressed, and Lu Mingyao racked his brains to make Liu Mengying happy, but it had no effect. And just today, Mrs. Hua's birthday, Lu Mingyao asked for Lu Zhi's consent and came with Liu Mengying, and the right to be distracted.
This wearing a gauze hat was also an idea given by Lu Mingyao.
Liu Mengying was very cautious along the way, as long as someone's eyes fell on her, she would hesitate. And now those curious eyes have become malicious scoffes in Liu Mengying's heart, as if everyone is laughing at her hair and laughing at her ugliness now.
Lu Mingyao sat next to Liu Mengying, originally thinking about taking care of her, but when he saw the delicacies on the table, he left Liu Mengying behind, and he didn't come back to his senses until he noticed that Liu Mengying was constantly trembling. He hurriedly gave Liu Mengying vegetables, "Cousin, relax, come and eat vegetables, these are all delicious, don't think about those who don't have them." ”
Fortunately, Liu Mengying also knew what the occasion was today, so she endured the discomfort in her heart and nodded, lifted the white veil in front of her and ate the food in the dishes little by little, the process was like cramming.
Liu Mengying was tightly covered from beginning to end, and she didn't let people spy on her at all, so people soon lost interest in her, after all, the temptation of the food in front of her was even greater.
Halfway through the meal, Hua Qingyan's desserts were served one after another, and the first thing to serve was the most ordinary longevity peach. However, this longevity peach looks ordinary, but it is not ordinary inside. The average peach is a solid pastry, and there is no other taste at all when you bite into it.
Mrs. Hua looked at this longevity peach and picked up one, and took a bite at random, she originally wanted to taste it casually and ask for good luck. But I didn't expect this bite to take a bite, and it was not the same taste that I had tasted before, but I tasted a soft and glutinous trap, the filling was mellow and soft, and there was a strong milky fragrance. But when you taste it, it still tastes like a peach.
Mrs. Hua widened her eyes in surprise and ate the rest of the longevity peaches, the milky aroma and fruit sweetness blended perfectly, and she didn't feel sweet at all.
Mrs. Hua herself loves sweets, and her favorite thing on weekdays is dim sum, the shops in this city have been visited, and the old lady can even compare the characteristics of each shop.
But today's dim sum is something that Mrs. Hua has never seen before! First the longevity noodles, and then this longevity peach, it was really a surprise, which made Mrs. Hua smile from ear to ear.
"Where did you find this dim sum master, this craft has never been seen in this city." Mrs. Hua took her son's hand and asked, "Is the master still in the house?" Hurry up and invite me, I must meet me today, and I will appreciate it well. ”
The three brothers glanced at each other, but their last gaze fell on Hua Lu. They only knew that Hua Lu had invited a dim sum chef from elsewhere to come back and wanted to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but the identity of the master was strictly concealed, and they did not even tell them. So when the old lady asked, they didn't know either.
However, Hua Lu was a little embarrassed at the moment, after all, as Hua Qingyan, if he was invited out as a cook, he was afraid that it would be a little inappropriate. But today's mother's birthday, he is unwilling to brush his mother's will and spoil his mother's mood. There was a bit of a dilemma for a while.
At this time, Yu Jiamin walked up with a delicate red box and put it in front of Mrs. Hua, "Madam, this is the latest dim sum, Fu Lu Shou Xi, I wish the old lady a year and a year." ”
As soon as Mrs. Hua heard that it was a new snack, she immediately looked down to see it. There are eight small snacks in the small red wood carved box, which are waist type, round drum type, bergamot type, bat type, peach type, pomegranate type, etc. Yu Jiamin looked at the old lady's face, and introduced the snack according to what Hua Qingyan said.
These eight dim sum are made with eight kinds of hearts, including hawthorn, rose, green plum, sugar, bean paste, date paste, salt and pepper, and raisins, wrapped in flour containing cooking oil, and carefully baked in impressions with various patterns. But it took Hua Qingyan a lot of thought, and the mold was smuggled out of the space by Hua Qingyan.
These eight small snacks are divided into the upper four and the lower four. The upper four are printed with "Blessing, Lu, Longevity, Jubilee". The next four kinds of silver ingot cakes that symbolize wealth, chicken fat cakes with the homonym "auspicious and more than enough", and jujube cakes with "early birth of noble sons", of course, when talking about this jujube flower cake, Yu Jiamin looked at Mrs. Hua's grandson quite colorfully, and finally there are "champion and first" roll shortbread.
After saying this, Mrs. Hua listened to it again and again, and hurriedly picked up a bat-shaped cake and took a bite, which was crispy and palatable, the fragrance was pure, the filling was soft and sandy, and the fruit was mellow.
"Okay, good, good Fulu Suxi! What a heart! Reward quickly, reward quickly, and be sure to reward greatly! ”
Yu Jiamin took the red envelope with a smile and stuffed it into her arms, and said a few auspicious words. Everyone had already been tickled by Mrs. Hua's expression and attitude, and they all craned their necks to look at the snacks on the old lady's table, eager to run forward and eat a bite of each.
But fortunately, the little guys are serving food one after another, and it is this Fulu Suxi that is served, but unfortunately there is only one box per table, which can only satisfy the big guys.
While everyone was immersed in this wonderful delicacy, no one noticed Liu Mengying's expression at the moment! This table is adjacent to the main table, so it is natural to see it clearly when it is close to each other. Even though Liu Mengying was covered with a white veil in front of her, she saw Yu Jiamin clearly!
The guy who shaved her hair at the flavor tea shop!
As soon as she saw Yu Jiamin, Liu Mengying's fear hidden in her heart surged up like a tide, occupying all her thoughts in an instant, and now she can't feel the deliciousness of that snack, nor can she feel the joy and surprise of others, she only knows that she is afraid! I was trembling with fear, and I was so scared that I wanted to run away from here!
Yu Jiamin's feelings are so keen, she discovered her existence the moment Liu Mengying looked over, not to mention that there was such a fear in her eyes. Others can't see the face in this gauze hat, it doesn't mean that Yu Jiamin can't see it, she recognized Liu Mengying at first glance, but she didn't pay attention to it, it is more important to complete the task assigned by Hua Qingyan.
But until she finished speaking, Liu Mengying's eyes were still burning on her, which made her feel interesting. Yu Jiamin looked at Liu Mengying, and sure enough, she saw her trembling and trembling fear. Yu Jiamin grinned, and Liu Mengying trembled even more.
Lu Mingyao naturally felt such a violent emotion, and he turned his head and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" But what's uncomfortable? If you really feel uncomfortable, you should tell your cousin. ”
Table ...... Cousin. Liu Mengying trembled and grabbed Lu Mingyao's hand, "I saw it, I saw that person that day!" ”
"That person?" Lu Mingyao didn't know why, "Which person, cousin, who did you see?" ”
"The person at the flavor tea shop is the one who shaved my hair!"
"Phew!" Lu Mingyao was taken aback by Liu Mengying's words, he followed Liu Mengying's line of sight, and Yu Jiamin was standing beside Mrs. Hua and looking at them with a smile. Lu Mingyao's whole body froze, and he didn't know what to do for a while!
