167 Gifts
The two of them were greasy and crooked in the room until they were about to eat dinner, looking at Hua Ronghua with a face full of spring, Pearl dropped the veil hatefully, and cursed in a low voice, "Shameless!" ”
Niu Ya, who was chopping wood with a firewood knife next to her, raised her head and asked loudly: "Who do you say is shameless?" ”
The loud voice attracted everyone's attention.
Pearl couldn't help but pounce and tear Niu Ya's mouth, and secretly looked at it, the master was already very dissatisfied with his gaze, and couldn't help but panic, and shouted at Niu Ya: "I said you!" Before the meal, I ate all the leftover steamed buns in the morning, but I was shameless! After speaking, he raised his head and said to Gong Xichu: "Master, this cowgirl went to the kitchen to steal something to eat before she had dinner!" ”
Niu Ya was aggrieved, "I didn't eat it secretly, it was the nurse who said that I could eat it." ”
The nurse who came out of the kitchen was also very aggrieved, she thought that this girl would eat one steamed bun at most no matter how hungry she was, but who knew that she ate all the remaining four or five steamed buns.
"Madam, I won't eat in the future, don't drive me away!" Niu Ya threw the firewood knife in her hand, and ran to Hua Ronghua's side and looked at her cautiously.
"Uh, it's okay, just eat enough next time you catch up with dinner." Hua Ronghua glanced back, "Are you chopping wood?" "Why does that pearl stand there and do nothing, and his own ring has to work hard?
When Niu Ya heard that Hua Ronghua didn't plan to drive her away, her heart was completely relaxed, and she replied with a smile: "The nurse will give me steamed buns, and I will help her chop wood." ”
"Oh." Since she wanted to do it herself, Hua Ronghua didn't want to interfere too much, and asked the nurse behind her, "When is the rice good?" ”
"Right away, this pot of chicken soup will be ready right away! Now it's time to put it on the table. The nurse called the pearl with a red face to serve the rice.
The dinner was quite sumptuous, chicken soup, carp, beef and duck pot, after eating, Hua Ronghua looked at a lot of food left on the table, stroked his stomach and burped, "Aren't we a little too wasteful?" ”
"Waste something, and in a moment they will pick up these vegetables and eat them." After speaking, Gongxi Chu dragged Hua Ronghua to the house.
"Give them leftovers?" Hua Ronghua was a little embarrassed, how did this make people feel like eating leftovers.
Gongxi Chu closed the door, looked back at Hua Ronghua's eyes and said, "Those leftovers are a reward for their masters, and they will eat them happily." I doubt that you are the young lady of the Hua family, how do you feel that you don't know anything about disciplining people! ”
"I don't know anything, it's just that I'm a small business, and it's naturally different from a big family like you. Oh, and the management method is naturally different. Hua Ronghua explained in a panic, and then evaded: "Aren't you going to the county government tomorrow?" Let's go to bed early. ”
"Now that the sun hasn't completely set, you just drag me to bed, is it for sleep or ......" Gong Xichu probably knew that she was deliberately avoiding the topic, so he didn't get to the bottom of it, but glanced at her chest, raised his sword eyebrows and asked with a wicked smile.
"Ahh Hua Ronghua screamed, "We seem to have forgotten something." ”
Gong Xichu was so frightened that he was shocked, and asked with some annoyance, "What is it worth your shouting like this?" ”
"A gift?" Hua Ronghua raised his head to look at him, "We're going to visit tomorrow, and we can't prepare two gifts." Are you ready? ”
Gongxi Chu glanced at him, and thought it was a big deal, so he said casually: "Just go to the warehouse and pick two pieces." ”
"But you gave it to me." Hua Ronghua was still a little reluctant.
"Go to the master's treasury and pick it up."
"What are you going to take with you?" Hua Ronghua asked curiously.
"I have two good ancient inkstones there, and it should be enough to take two more pieces of silk."
Hua Ronghua asked a little hesitantly: "Wouldn't it be a little too casual?" "It's not prepared at first glance!
Gong Xichu looked at her, "Then do you have any good suggestions?" "Isn't this kind of thing just a matter of taking something! Anyway, Ah Hao didn't do things for the sake of courtesy.
"How about we make a cake to take with you?" Hua Ronghua asked with a smile.
Thinking of the deliciousness of the cake, Gong Xichu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he asked with an embarrassed face: "You don't still want me to beat you eggs, do you?" ”
"How so? There are so many people in this courtyard. In the end, Hua Ronghua asked Niu Ya to beat the eggs.
Seeing Niu Ya holding a large wooden basin with one hand and beating eggs with the other, Hua Ronghua approached Gongxi Chu and said proudly: "How is it?" I picked a good ring, right? ”
The corners of Gong Xichu's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, you treat such a strange girl ring as a treasure.
Everyone was amazed to see the egg whites in the cow pot slowly turning milky white, and more and more.
After beating for a while, Hua Ronghua stopped until the chopsticks were stained with cream and would not fall, and then taught them to mix the cream and egg yolk together and put it in the pot to steam.
Soon, the sweet smell wafted out of the kitchen, and everyone couldn't help but come out and look at the kitchen, even Mo Yan, who had been hiding in the room because he had lost his face, stood at the door to see what was going on.
Seeing that the bottom of the cake was steamed, Hua Ronghua rolled up his sleeves and said confidently: "Now I'll process it!" She took the food box, compared the size, then carefully cut the cake into the size that the food box could hold, began to spread it with more cream, and then used strawberries from the ice cellar to puree and decorate the cake little by little with chopsticks, and finally used bright red strawberry puree to write the words "Four Seasons Peace" on the cake.
"How? Not bad, right? Hua Ronghua wiped the sweat from his forehead, and proudly asked Gong Xichu, who had been standing at the kitchen door and watching.
The collision of red and white, the sweet smell, Gong Xichu looked at it for a long time before he took his eyes off the cake and stared at the woman who was waiting for his praise, "The cake you made for me last time didn't wipe these on the outside!" ”
"Uh......" Hua Ronghua choked, what is this man doing with this?" Last time, it wasn't meant to be given away...... "Her voice became smaller and quieter, and she always felt that the man at the door seemed to be angry, but why? Is it because he didn't put cream on him last time, and he didn't decorate it?
"Take this to the room, I'll try it first!" Gong Xichu glared at Hua Ronghua, what does this woman think, what she hasn't enjoyed, but she wants to give it to others?
"Huh? I'll do this for you later! Hua Ronghua thought to herself, she didn't know if she would be able to make such a good trick next time!
"You'll do one again tomorrow morning!" Gong Xichu is very insistent, he won't let this woman make something for others for the first time!
Seeing this, Pearl came in from the side and picked up the cake, "Master, the slave will send you to the room!" "She won't let this woman use this kind of thing to invite the county lady to invite pets!
Hua Ronghua blinked, looked at the man who was obviously angry, and finally didn't stop the pearl, forget it, then let's get up early tomorrow and make another one, because it doesn't seem to be able to make him angry with a bite of food.
"Niu Ya, get up early tomorrow, help me finish the cake and then go to practice martial arts with Mo Yan!" Hua Ronghua sighed and said to his new recruit.
"Hey!" Niu Ya answered, staring at the few pieces of loose cakes that were cut off on the board without blinking, and asked with a smile: "Madam, can you give Niu Ya a piece of it!" I smell like the maltose for the New Year isn't as sweet as this! ”
Hua Ronghua turned around and found that not only the cows, but also the nurse Mo An and the cockroaches were all staring at the scattered cakes with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "You can take these pieces and divide them and taste them." ”
"Thank you, ma'am!" Niu Ya shouted and threw herself towards the cake, and several other people followed closely behind, and quickly squeezed Hua Ronghua aside.
Hua Ronghua couldn't help but feel a little proud when he looked at everyone's anxious looks, this is his own craft!
Stepping into the main room, he found that the pearl was still in the house, his face was red, and he peeked at Gongxi Chu with his eyes from time to time, Hua Ronghua was angry in his heart, and said to her lightly: "Okay, you can go down too!" ”
"Slave ......" Pearl wanted to say.
Gong Xichu was impatient and reprimanded: "Go down!" ”
Pearl shuddered, hurriedly blessed and ran out.
"Hmph, you girl is still a thief!" Hua Ronghua snorted and said sourly on the chair sitting next to him.
"You are the head of the house, she is under your control!" It means that she has a thief heart, and you are also incompetent.
Hua Ronghua was choked half to death, pointed to the cake on the table that was still intact and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat it?" What are you doing? ”
"Wait for you to serve me!" Gong Xichu said as a matter of course: "Didn't you say that in the future, pearls will not be allowed to come in this house, and you will serve me!" ”
"I ......" Hua Ronghua's chest rose and fell sharply, and there was a hint of a smirk: "Okay, do you need me to chew it for you and feed it to you?" ”
"Come!" Unexpectedly, Gongxi Chu was eager to try.
"Cut!" Hua Ronghua was suddenly deflated, pouted and said "wait", and ran to the kitchen. When she returned, she had a sharp knife in her hand.
"Hey, ...... you" Gong Xichu was taken aback, didn't he just let her serve him? I don't think she should be able to use a knife!
I saw Hua Ronghua first put the two plates in his other hand on the table, and then put the two pairs of chopsticks on the plates respectively, and then picked up the knife and cut it down on the cream cake.
Gongxi Chu secretly let out a sigh of relief, not for himself.
Hua Ronghua put the cake cut into small pieces on a plate and handed it to him, "Here, eat." ”
Because of the little episode just now, Gong Xichu didn't have the heart to tease her, but honestly ate the cake.
After eliminating the two small pieces of cream cake, Hua Ronghua reluctantly put down the chopsticks, "No, I can't eat it anymore, if I eat it again, I will become a big fat man!" ”
