Chapter 30: To Eat or Not to Eat

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

The winter sun falls on the glazed tiles, reflecting beautiful colors.

There was a full charcoal fire burning inside the house, and it was snowing outside.

Red clay small stove, can you drink a cup of no?

Bai Susu boiled plum wine on the small stove in his left hand, and stewed pig's trotters on the little donkey on his right, and the aroma of the plum wine just came out, and the pig's trotters with enough materials over there also began to aromatize.

Grunt.

Two gurgling sounds came out of the stomachs of the two people, and Bai Susu glanced at Chunlan with slanted eyes, "Chunlan, you are unproductive, you are hungry like this!" ”

Chunlan aggrievedly handed her a silk handkerchief, "Auntie, the saliva is flowing out, let's wipe it first." ”

The young lady who was standing expressionless on the side, "......" suddenly felt so tired.

Bai Susu has lived for two lifetimes, and her years add up, well, in fact, it is not very big, she always has a kind of consciousness of an elder, which will be so embarrassing, her face is a little unbearable, and she coughed twice to hide her embarrassment.

"How can I drool, you must be dazzled." She spoke with lightning speed, wiped the corners of her mouth, and bluffed Chunlan with a righteous face (opening her eyes and talking nonsense) was stunned.

She looked incredulous and dumbfounded, "Auntie, you are cheating, you wiped it clean secretly." ”

Bai Susu, "......" Sister Chunlan, you should save some face for this little concubine.

"If there is another roast chicken, this day will be really beautiful." Bai Susu is a little yearning again, she hasn't eaten meat for a long time.

The corners of Qing Niang's eyebrows jumped a few times, she raised her eyes to look at the snow that was still falling outside the door, and thought, Aunt Bai is really talented, it's all like this, and she is still thinking about roast chicken.

As a qualified maid, Qing Niang reminded in a timely manner, "Auntie, you spent a total of twenty yuan on this pig's trotter today. ”

As soon as the roast chicken in front of Bai Susu floated in front of him, he was instantly stunned.

She is not living a better life now than before, and she has to eat a good meal carefully.

This matter has to be said from half a month ago.

When Roche came back this time, Bai Susu was unexpected, different from her memory, and several times in a row, it gave her a very uncomfortable sense of oppression.

Thinking that she is the lady of the main room, and she is a concubine, she is always a little unconfident, so she tries to shrink her neck and be a man, and she can nest in her yard without showing up.

Fortunately, Luo has just returned home, and there are a lot of things to deal with, the accounts of the house for more than half a year have to be sorted out, and many squires and wives have come to visit her when she has recovered from illness.

There are too many miscellaneous things to deal with, and people are correspondingly irritable, and Luo asked people to pass a message to her, so she doesn't have to go to the main courtyard to ask for peace for the time being.

Bai Susu was deeply happy about this, and said to Qinghua with a pity on her face, "I'm tired of the Qinghua girl helping the concubine to ask Mrs. Hello, I can't listen to Mrs. from time to time, and the concubine is afraid." ”

Qinghua said politely on his face, shook his head in his heart, and said in his heart, Aunt Bai, you have it, you take a look at the mirror yourself, the corners of your mouth are about to go to heaven.

In short, I don't have to see Roche recently, I am very happy for Bai Susu, she adheres to the principle of not going out and not making mistakes, so she nests in the small yard and does not go out for a month.

This person doesn't go out, and she has nothing to do, she doesn't know how to cultivate herself in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Lu Zhiyuan has been very busy recently, sleeping in the study most of the time, Bai Susu is bored alone, so she can eat hard.

She was pampered by Lu Zhiyuan for many years in her previous life, and she still had some experience in eating, so she looked for her memory and ordered everything she wanted to eat.

The cook in the kitchen listened to the maid every day, Aunt Bai wants to eat this and this today, and tomorrow she will eat that and that.

They all privately said that Aunt Bai was actually reincarnated as a pig, so she ate a lot.

If you eat more, well, the silver will naturally be spent more.

When Roche checked the account book of kitchen expenses, looking at the expenses that had risen month by month since she left, his face was not so good-looking.

Especially in the past month, Aunt Bai alone has spent more than 80 taels of silver on ordering food.

She snapped and closed the account book, and said with a bad face, "Call Aunt Bai over for me!" ”

"How much silver can you eat, why should you have to get along with a concubine, so that outsiders know that it is tantamount to self-deprecation." Mama Tu reminded on the side.

Luo naturally knows this, she is just a little uneasy, she has suffered so much outside for more than half a year, this white aunt is not only more and more favored day by day, but also can eat and drink.

Look at the dishes you ordered, they are all about to turn out of flowers, she is not so much a lady in the main room, she really doesn't know how to restrain at all.

Bai Susu was taken to the main courtyard in a daze, she thought back to the past month in her mind, she was really honest, she didn't go out of the second door, and the door didn't step.

Just stay in the yard honestly, how can you still offend Roche.

When Qinghua came to invite her just now, she obviously threw her a look of self-begging, and Bai Susu's heart suddenly had no bottom.

When she saw Luo's face, the uneasiness in her heart was even more aggravated, and Luo Zhi in front of her was sitting on the couch, looking not very good-looking.

"The concubine has seen the lady."

Bai Susu bowed her knees, but she didn't hear Roche's voice calling her up. She didn't dare to move, maintaining a half-squatting position, and it didn't take long for her legs to start to stand unsteadily.

There was sweat on his forehead, partly tired, and partly tired.

But Luo still didn't tell her to get up, but slowly reconciled accounts with Mama Tu on the side.

"The kitchen spent one hundred and fifty taels of silver from the account last month, of which eighty-eight taels were ordered in Hefeng Courtyard," Tu Mama held an account book, where did she start to report the name ......of the dish.

Bai Susu didn't care about it at first, but after listening to it, she suddenly came back to her senses, and what did Luo suddenly call her for.

Eighty percent of the kitchen expenses for a month went into her stomach, and if there was a crack in the ground at the moment, she really wanted to get into it.

It's a shame, because she ate too much, she was called to the concubine by the main mother to make things difficult in front of her, she may still be the first one.

In front of her, Mama Tu continued to report the name of the dish, and talked about the eight treasure duck.

Bai Susu swallowed her saliva very cooperatively, this is a dish she likes very much, but the method is a little troublesome, the duck must be selected from Jian'an City's white duck, and after cleaning it, stuff it into the duck's stomach with glutinous rice and eight kinds of ingredients. After that, put it into the flavor for two hours, and then steam it in the pot, and when it is done, gently clip it with chopsticks, and the duck is steamed soft and glutinous, and it melts in your mouth. The duck skin and the aroma of the sticky rice, combined with the eight ingredients, make it so delicious that you can swallow it with chopsticks.

She swallowed again as she thought about it, thinking that after this stance, the Eight Treasure Duck might have to leave her.

The sweat on her forehead remained layer by layer, and when her legs trembled, staggered and were about to hold on, she finally heard Roche's voice.

She breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up.

Luo is the wife of the house, and she has always had high requirements for herself, how could she bluntly ask why a concubine eats so much.

That's why she used this method to punish Bai Susu, and when she saw her lower eyebrows after she got up, she snorted twice in her heart.

"Aunt Bai has been plump a lot lately." Roche stretched out his hand to hold the teacup, ordered some tea on the lid of the cup, and spoke in a faint voice.

Luo looked at Bai Susu, who was round in front of him, and the unhappiness in his heart was not so strong. Look at the face that is round again than the last time I came to ask Ann, this will lower its head, and there is still a circle of flesh in the chin.

At the time, people thought that thinness was beautiful, and a woman's slender waist was the appearance of a beauty, Bai Susu looked down at her more and more rounded body, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

"What Madame said is that the concubine must work hard to lose weight." She said with her head down.

Roche was a lot less angry, and there was no reason to keep her here, so he let her go back.

By the way, after a morning's account book, Luo Zhi would be very tired, and after Bai Susu left, she leaned on the couch behind her, closing her eyes to recuperate.

"What do you want to eat for lunch, Madame?" The slave maid asked the kitchen to prepare as soon as possible. Mama Tu reached out to gently rub her head and asked softly.

"I look at what Aunt Bai eats, it's good, give me a portion according to that menu." Let's try the Eight Treasure Duck today. Roche waited for a long time before speaking.

Mama Tu, "......" Why are you still worried about yourself, but speaking of which, Aunt Bai is really good at eating, and she specializes in picking up delicious points.

Mama Tu thought.

"Okay, slave maid, let people prepare." Mama Tu said with a smile.

Bai Susu returned to the Hefeng Courtyard and immediately wilted. The young lady asked her what was wrong, and when she came back, she began to sigh, and she sighed even louder.

In the end, it was Chunlan who pulled Qingniang to tell her about today's events. After finishing speaking, she was still a little angry, "My aunt is really pitiful, isn't she just greedy for a little bit." ”

Qing Niang, "......" Let's say a word of conscience, where is this greedy a little bit, obviously a lot of points.

To get back to the point, it was precisely because Luo Zhi found Bai Susu that she felt that her good life was over, and she no longer dared to order food in the kitchen. Usually, Chunlan went to get the meals on time and came back.

Lu guy's food is actually good, such as Bai Susu, a concubine, according to the portion, each meal is the standard of three dishes and one soup. Not to mention the soup, the dishes are generally two vegetables and one meat, which is well matched.

But Bai Susu likes braised pork trotters, braised pork ribs, and braised pork......

In fact, she loves meat.

There was no way, she didn't dare to go to the big kitchen to order, so she asked Chunlan to get two small stoves and come back, and she was still making it in the house.

This time, on a whim, I stewed a pig's trotters.

Smelling the smell of meat emanating from the house, she felt that this was the day.

"I've been eating too greasy in the last few days, so let's eat lighter tomorrow." After Bai Susu finished speaking, the young lady on the side nodded hurriedly, and before she had time to praise her, she continued, "Let's eat steamed pork ribs tomorrow, this is light." ”

Green Lady, "......"

"Auntie, you have eaten three meals of pig's trotters, four meals of pork ribs, plus three boxes of pastries from Baixiang Zhai outside." Qing Niang didn't know where to take out a small cup, opened it and looked at it, and then said, "We still have three taels of silver left, and you will have to repay the debt in a few days." ”
