"Alas," He Angelica sighed, wanting to get up, but at this time he alarmed Meng Xuan who was sleeping, seeing that he tilted his head slightly, she wanted to wake up soon, she hurriedly retreated a few steps and said, "Meng Xuan, don't pull me endlessly, I haven't eaten yet, Qing'er has cooked for me, and I am scheduled to talk all night." Because he regarded Meng Xuan, who was closed and listening, as an absolute forbidden object and a womanizer, he panicked in his heart, knocked the screen behind him, and fell backwards in a thrilling way.

Then someone helped him from behind, and even the person with the screen, and the whole thing was helped up. Standing firm, she thanked and said, "Thank you, sorry for causing you another mess, take good care of him, I'm not here to make trouble." I thought that the person who came to help was Yiyi or someone, but after turning around, there was no one behind him...... No one?

He Angelica looked around in place suspiciously, there was really no half a figure in the wide room, so who helped that one just now? She tucked the quilt corner for Meng Xuan suspiciously, but Meng Xuan didn't wake up, just turned over in her sleep, and muttered vaguely: "This sister is so familiar, I have vaguely seen ...... before" and then snored slightly, and fell asleep again, making He Angelica inexplicable, what kind of dream he was having.

Properly placed, I went out and chose a conservatory opposite the tea room, and the ready-made tea utensils and bedding in the room were low, which was very suitable for a room with candles and night talks. She grabbed a little maid passing by, told her to show Qing'er in the kitchen, and arranged a few more vegetables for her to hand over to the kitchen. Originally, Yitong had an irreverent attitude, and she wasn't sure if the people in Qingyuan were good or not, but now when she tried it, she was surprisingly obedient, and the little maid responded, "Grandma, wait a minute, the wine and food will come soon", and then trotted to run errands.

Pushing the door into the conservatory, she took off her shoes and squinted on the couch, hazy and sleepy, and after sleeping for a while, she heard the voices of Qing'er and the maids in the room, thinking that she was arranging cups and dishes. She regretted that she had made an appointment with Qing'er to chat for the night, at the moment she was sleepy, and the bed was warm, she really didn't want to move the nest, she just wanted to lie in the bed, be a small animal like a hermit crab, and find a small corner to live in the wide Qing Garden, which is said to belong to her name, but it is more realistic than facing a huge garden.

"Come, get up, girl." Qing'er's hot hand fell on her face, I heard that people with hot hands have a warm heart, no wonder Qing'er is so warm-hearted; His heart is colder and harder than ordinary people, is it because his hands and feet are not warm all the year round...... Thinking wildly, but she was tired of not wanting to get up, so Qing'er directly started dragging her with a quilt, and said energetically: "Don't sleep, Nannan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how can you still sleep, don't you think that I can't think about tea and dinner, and my clothes belt is getting wider?" Ah, sad and sad. Get up! After eating, drinking, and then going to sleep. ”

So, she can no longer hide her ears and pretend to be a hermit crab, but when she opened her eyes, there was a surprise, it turned out that there were two high tables next to the low couch, each with more than a dozen dishes that she and Qing'er love to eat, in addition to Qing'er's simple and affordable home-cooked scrambled eggs and cucumbers mixed with pig's head beef tendons, the high table in front of her is three fresh mulberry soup, night shrimp, shrimp roe, winter bamboo shoots, fragrant hemp jellyfish, Dinghu vegetarian, snow frozen almond tofu, vegetarian noodles, vegetarian white mushrooms, fresh mushrooms and cabbage hearts, etc. On the high table at the end of the bed, there are those crystal dishes and meats, straw mushrooms and broccoli, braised red scallops, beeswax elbows, fried chicken, pies, macaroni, sausages, mashed potatoes, etc., which Qing'er loves to eat.

There is also a small square table between the two high tables, drinking rice wine, shochu, red bean sugar water that is being warmed in a small furnace, and fragrant tea boiling in hot water, to distinguish its taste, it is probably Shifeng Longjing, which seems to be mixed with some honey and milk. What kind of strange combination is this? Wouldn't you spoil good tea?

Anyway, what makes He Angelica happiest is that she doesn't have to get out of bed, she doesn't need to leave the warm quilt, she can drink a sip of Sanxian Muxi soup warmly, or Qing'er is intimate and so thoughtful. In the cold winter, she withdrew from the warm quilt and left, always feeling reluctant to give up, although it is "said" that her current body is cold and heat, but the yearning for warmth is born from the bottom of her heart, and has nothing to do with the toughness of the body.

She took a deep breath of the aroma of food, and her smile was filled with candlelight: "I didn't feel any New Year's flavor this year, and I always felt as if I didn't celebrate the New Year. ”

The little maid who was waiting next to Gao Ji poured tea and said with a smile: "Originally, when I heard Yi Gongzi say that grandma entered the garden, our kitchen was opened, and the triple and triple stacks of noodles were also made, but as soon as the young girl arrived in the kitchen, she fell in love with a few plates of lo-mei from our subordinates. I heard that it was given to the seventh grandmother to eat, where did we dare to be careless, so according to the young girl said that you like to eat the two dishes to cook, grandma, you taste the taste, the chef is brought from Beijing, but there is a craft. ”

Qing'er also sat on the other side, and said with a smile: "Our two tables, Yangchun Baixue also have it, and Zhongliba people also have it, and they are all merged together." The Meng family is a noble family in the end, and even the braised pig's head meat can only be a snack for the New Year's Day, I said that it was served to you to eat, but they didn't let it, saying that 'if you snub grandma so much, you will definitely have to return to Beijing with a burden'. It turns out that more than half of the subordinates here are subordinates selected by Meng Xuan from the Meng family, no wonder they do things in a straightforward way, revealing a pedantic energy. ”

After He Angelica listened, he smiled and explained Qing'er's doubts: "The people who serve are picked locally in Yangzhou, and they have to go to the capital special session of the Qingcao Cattle Market, otherwise the two Meng Ye are afraid that it will be difficult to get used to it, after all, the two places are hundreds of miles apart, and there are still differences in living habits. ”

Qing'er pursed her lips and muttered: "That medicinal oil is the most annoying, it doesn't smell of gasoline or toon buds when it is burned, how can you smell it!" ”

"Besides, the pig's head meat itself is not considered an inferior ingredient," He Angelica slowly sipped the red bean water and said with a smile, "The pig's head purchased from the outside, I picked the freshest and best, and divided the meat on it into upper, middle, and lower grades." Among them, the best ones are specially made for Meng Xuan and Meng Ying to eat, and the second ones are made into air-dried meat, and then the rest is picked, and it is marinated as everyone's New Year's supper. In fact, what the master eats and what the subordinates eat is not as much as one heaven and one underground, they are all from the same source, the difference is only the difference in the method, and the dishes made for the master are the most exquisite. ”

Qing'er complained again: "Isn't it enough to drink wine and eat meat in large chunks?" This is called youth, youth does not understand! In her rage, she wiped out a honey sausage.

He Angelica took a cabbage sum and ate it, and said with a smile: "Confucius said, 'Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of fine', use more dim sum when cooking, and cut the meat as thin as possible, which is very beneficial to health." The Meng family has a family history, and they will pay more attention to this, and integrate their heritage into every detail of the daily life of the family. Qing'er, if you have any intentions for 'that person', you can start learning a little bit now, and then live in the Meng family so that you won't be crammed temporarily. ”

"The kind of shining stars in the universe are called stars, such as the sun, and so on, and their ages are between one billion and ten billion years old," Liao Qing'er said astronomy while eating pies, "You ancients probably don't know how billion it is, anyway, it's a number that is too big to think about." Xiaoyi, a star as long-lived as the sun, our scientists there still calculate when it will die day long, let alone us who can only live for a few decades. She didn't care about the five or six pairs of ears in the room, whether any of them understood what she said, and sighed deeply, "So, how short life is, should we use such a short life to discuss Meng Ying's undisciplined adulterous thief?" ”

Adulterous thief......

He Angelica choked on the soup; The three little maids who were waiting on the side of the two high sheets, the chopsticks and spoons in their hands fell on the carpet and forgot to pick them up; Two girls at the door carried a round drum table, the table was full of large stacks of small plates of snacks and shiny fruits, and they couldn't lift their hands when they slipped away, and the others hurriedly went to carry them over.

A maid introduced: "This is the daily dim sum of the two masters, with jujube paste, green plum, raisins, roses, bean paste, sugar, bananas, pepper and salt as fillings, and butter and fine powder, and pressed into zigzags, bergamot, peach, pomegranate, and osmanthus shapes with molds." Although it is not a fine refreshment, it is the most in line with the taste of the third master, so the kitchen has always prepared it, grandma, you can taste it, if you are used to eating, we will bake some new ones tomorrow. ”

He Angelica chatted with Qing'er about something else, ignoring the "lewd thief" section, the two talked very happily, and the maids also waited with a smile, but He Angelica felt that since Qing'er's "lewd thief" exit, the maids' attitude towards her was several times warmer than before, for fear that she would not have enough to eat, and she would change it to a new one after eating a few bites of each dish, which was very thoughtful.

When the meal was almost over, He Angelica wanted to talk to Qing'er about a few private words, so he sent the waiting maid to wait outside the second gate, only the two of them drank wine and cooked plums, ate without a pair, and whispered the words of the two people.

"In my hometown, there is a big gap between the rich and the poor, and ordinary people are overjoyed when they eat meat," Qing'er's face was full of class struggle emotions, and her mouth kept eating, and she kept saying, "Who would have thought that the ancients are more corrupt now, and when they heard that I was going to scramble eggs, they immediately said in shock, 'Take that kind of thing to grandma, we don't even have to do the errands in the capital!'" 'Oh my god, that's a scrambled egg, a scrambled egg!' Children in mountain villages only eat once a year! ”

He Angelica comforted her and said: "They don't say that the dish of scrambled eggs itself is not high-grade, but that you are too ugly to be fried, and it is not suitable for the table, after all, the first time we eat the dishes in their kitchen, of course they want to leave a good impression on the nominal master." Moreover, there were only a few nobles in ancient times, and the real masters in them were limited, and there was no way to be corrupt. If you can't marry 'that person' as the main room, when you come to the Meng family in the future, we won't be able to eat such extravagant dishes." At that time, according to the regulations, my aunt's lunch will probably be four dishes and one soup. ”

"Four dishes and one soup?" Qing'er judged, "It turns out that the treatment of an ancient aunt is the same as that of a modern cadre on a business trip." But Xiaoyi, you're not an aunt, aren't you able to be a side wife? Another day, let's use a little trick, knock Meng Xuan, let him suffer a little, recognize your benefits and shining points, and marry you as a lady of the main palace. ”

He Angelica shook his head: "Meng Xuan has endured enough hardships, and now he is still raising him over there, don't bother him, being able to be his side wife is already the result of Meng Xuan's fourth uncle personally appearing." I am very satisfied with this, and the fourth uncle also taught that people should cherish their blessings. After so many things, and I have seen so many so-called love, sorrows and joys and marriages, I am really content to be able to come together with Meng Xuan. ”

"That fourth uncle?" Qing'er tore the chicken thigh meat with her sharp teeth, and asked hey, "Starshu?" ”
