Chapter 56: Joy (Part II)
house.
The old lady's face was happy, and it was a world of difference from the face she put on when she walked in various houses today.
The county lord walked in from outside, and first saw the girls gathered in front of the old lady's kang, and then saw the wives sitting under the kang, and the aunts gathered behind to cover their mouths and laugh. Aunt Nazha and Aunt Xiao held their stomachs, and originally let them sit, but because their stomachs were too big, they couldn't sit down, so they only stood on the edge of the pile with a chair with a backrest, and their respective girls took care of them carefully.
At that moment, the old lady introduced to everyone what Yu Qi was going to eat today, her eyebrows fluttered, and she was overjoyed. But no, the old lady came to see first, and Yu Qi had already told her about the food she had made. The old lady was full of surprise, and she didn't want the finished product to come out.
At that time, the old lady said to Yu Qi: "It's really hard to think about it, the rouge used by this Bai Ding royal family comes from the farm planting, which is very suitable for today." You don't have to ask the sisters for it, I'll ask Lan'er to find you a few big boxes. Let everyone have something to eat tonight. How can the girls share that little, and it's not enough to wipe their lips by eating by themselves! ”
Yu Qi was very grateful for the old lady's support, and said: "This dish is not bothered, and it doesn't cost much rouge." The sisters and sisters have enough for every day. If the wives also want to eat, then the old lady will ask Sister Lan'er to fetch some more. I think it's before the New Year, and letting the sisters come together is the meaning of harmony. All use the old lady's, so won't this dish be the old lady's charity? ”
Because of these words, the old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she really felt sorry for Yu Qi to be sensible.
So when the wives and girls came in, the old lady couldn't wait, beckoned everyone to come over, and told them that Yu Qi wanted to make a shocking agricultural food, and they had to contribute and work together.
At first, everyone was depressed, and most of them were distrustful. But because the old lady is unhappy in various houses today, and now the old lady says to work together, and she has such great interest, it can be seen that the unpleasant things have dissipated. Besides, if you do it well, you will have a light on your face, and if you can't do it well, it will naturally be Yu Qi's fault. Then the girls rejoiced, and told their maidens to go back and get rouge.
Here, Duzhuang came prepared and didn't go.
Zhuang Qi smacked Zhuang Yu and said, "Look, sisters, we are outsiders." The two of them are real sisters, and they have known it for a long time. ”
Zhuang Qi pointed at Zhuang Yu and Yu Qi while saying, at this time, he had forgotten that the old lady was angry with him in Beifu.
After all, he used such a joke to ridicule Yu Qi, after all, Lu Qi easily won the old lady's favor. Who doesn't blush when you see it?
Everyone was laughed by Zhuang Qi's words.
The old lady glanced at Zhuang Qi and said, "Heartless, it's really a loss for the girl to be a sister with you." She is the only one who wants to be a sister like you. Now, seeing you change into this clothes, I see it much more pleasing to the eye. This is the real person. ”
Zhuang Xuan blushed and shook his handkerchief to cover his face.
Cao sat down, and when he heard the old lady praise Zhuang Xuan, he finally breathed a sigh of relief; She smiled, got up and said, "My wife and I also brought some food, and after a while, the girls won't do enough, so we'll go on top." ”
The old lady said casually: "What did you bring?" ”
Cao beckoned back and asked the girl to bring the box, she smiled and pointed to the old lady, and hurriedly beckoned Qin's girl to come up.
The county lord stood on the side, with nothing at hand, and was very embarrassed.
The aunt was on the side, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and turned to the county lord and said, "I'll eat with my mouth." Did your wife bring it? ”
The county lord and the aunt looked at each other and smiled, but didn't say anything. I almost knew what each other meant.
So the people talked about the dust-sweeping again, and said how it was last year and how it was this year, which became an interesting anecdote. Laughter followed in waves.
Zhuang Pu stood behind and felt very bored, so he took advantage of the lack of attention and dodged out of the door, wanting to be alone in the courtyard for a while. Unexpectedly, when I walked out of the door, under the porch, I saw Zisu talking to the girls from various provinces. The girls brought rouge!
Zhuang Pu was bored and suddenly became interested, so he leaned over to look at it, pointed to the rouge box and asked, "How to eat this thing?" The steamed buns are kneaded and kneaded, and then steamed in a steamer before they can be eaten. You puff puff puff don't have to make red buns? ”
The girls laughed to themselves.
Zi Su glanced at Zhuang Pu and didn't answer. Yes, Mr. Guan was in Accord that day, and Zisu stayed there to help Zhuang Yu get things after listening to Yu Li's words, and then he was a little slower, and he was blamed by Zhuang Pu. At this point, Zisu didn't have a good feeling for Zhuang Pu at all, and among the people who hated Zhuang Mansion, he hated Zhuang Pu for three points.
Zhuang Pu saw that she didn't answer, so he had bad intentions, and he was determined to tease her, so he snatched the rouge box from the girl's hand.
Zisu's faint expression didn't mind at all. It's just that the girls don't follow and ask him for back.
Zhuang Pu said: "If you want to go back, you can give Ye a smile, and Ye will return you one." ”
The girls pulled their faces and greeted Zhuang Pu with a smile.
Zhuang Pu waved his hand and stepped back, saying, "You guys are laughing, it's not worth a penny." I want her to laugh! "The chin lifts the fingers.
Zisu put the rouge in his hand in his skirt and turned around to leave. Zhuang Pu went to stop it. Intentionally difficult to submarine.
Seeing this, the girls flashed to the side and begged: "The second master will return it to Miss Su!" The old lady was upset. ”
Zhuang Pu smiled and said, "That's right! The old lady was unhappy, and she was held accountable, it was her no, not mine! I'm going to give it back to her, but she doesn't want it! ”
Zisu flashed left and right, wanting to leave, but Zhuang Pu was a scoundrel and didn't give it.
Helpless, Zisu puffed out his cheeks and sneered: "Second master, I'm not worth much, you want to buy a smile, go elsewhere!" Wouldn't it be good for you to have a good price, and for others to have good goods, and each of them rejoices. The rouge of the girls is much more valuable than me, so why waste such a good rouge for the sake of a cheap smile. ”
Zhuang Pu raised his eyebrows and said, "Yo, I thought you couldn't speak!" In this way, your smile is worthless, but you are willing to trade. If you laugh at one, I'll give you back. How is it? ”
It's clearly provocative, provocative, insulting!
Zisu gritted his teeth and glared at Zhuang Pu fiercely. After a while, Zhuang Pu smiled and said, "Yo, let me tell you, you're not laughing, you're staring!" Got it? So, he cracked that handsome face and pretended to smile to Zisu, and said, "Learn from me, laugh!" Just laugh! ”
Zhuang Pu's face is extremely good-looking, if it weren't for such an identity and such a character, Zisu would have felt that this person was really handsome. However, who told him to be born in this ghost place by mistake, and he is such a filthy character, which is disgusting.
Zhuang Pu's mouth is like an old duck in the pond in the south, one by one; The two rows of neat and white teeth, like white marble carving, are surprisingly good-looking.
Zisu looked at his strange demeanor, that exaggerated smiling face, and inexplicably had an urge to laugh.
So, Zisu couldn't help the inner struggle and smiled.
It's involuntary laughter. When he realized the gaffe, Zi Suqiang couldn't help but shut up.
Seeing Zisu like this, Zhuang Pu's face suddenly became stupid, stared at Zisu in a daze, and said, "It's better to be able to smile than to have a bitter face." You don't owe anything to others, you embarrass yourself with a bitter face, and you want to be unhappy. I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't laugh for a moment. ”
After speaking, he pushed the rouge in his hand to Zisu, who was unstable and fell to the ground.
Then, the girls wanted to come to help pick it up, Zhuang Pu raised his hand to signal that it was not necessary and let them in. When the girls turned around and went in, Zisu said to the girls, "Please come out." ”
Soon, Yu Qi and Sanxi came out, and saw Zhuang Pu squatting on the ground picking up the rouge box, and Zisu stood proudly in front of him. At this moment, Zhuang Pu is like a little servant, and Zisu is a high-ranking lady in the boudoir. I also felt in a trance that these two people were very compatible, and they all looked like wild husbands and village girls.
Yu Qi chuckled lowly, and hurriedly squatted down to help pick up rouge. Pick it up and help Zisu take half of it.
Zhuang Pu patted the dust on his hands and said, "I want to see how you do it." I'm going to see it too. ”
At that time, Zisu and Yu Qi were in front.
Zisu squeezed Yu Qi's eyes, and Yu Qi shook his head in response. Then, Zisu stood up and said to Zhuang Pu: "Second master, the kitchen is dirty, don't dirty your shoes." ”
Zhuang Pu looked down at the shoes, it was a new pair of uppers! But no, I forgot to change my shoes when I changed into this old clothes.
Zhuang Pu said: "It's okay! The old does not go, the new does not come. New shoes will become old shoes sooner or later, I don't mind. ”
Zisu said: "I don't mind, I don't mind." ”
Zhuang Pu choked, and pointed at Zisu for a long time before saying, "It's shameless to give you a face, isn't it?" What do you mind? ”
Zi Su said: "I have no face on the first day I came to your house, what else do you want it to do." I don't mind if our girl's secret recipe is taken away! ”
As he spoke, Zisu turned around angrily and headed towards the kitchen. Leaving Yu Qi embarrassed.
Yu Qi smiled slightly, bowed to Zhuang Pu, and hurriedly started to go to the kitchen with Zisu. Zhuang Pu didn't follow.
to the kitchen.
Zisu went to boil the water in a sullen voice, Yu Qi thought that she was so angry with Zhuang Pu that she didn't dare to speak comforting at the moment, so she only helped open the rouge box, and looked at Zisu's face intentionally or unintentionally.
After a while, Yu Qi said, "Sister, how to do this?" ”
Zisu responded lazily: "The girl doesn't have to move, you just stand at the door, if someone comes, block it for me." ”
Yu Qi nodded, and really went to the door to guard. At the door, Sanxi was already standing there. I just came out, and I have been silent.
Sanxi saw her girl come out and gently supported her.
Yu Qi shook his head at Sanxi and signaled not to speak.
After a while, he saw that Zisu took out a white stone from a cloth bag, and he didn't know what it was. Zisu brushed the stone, put it on the cutting board, and picked up a kitchen knife to scrape the stone surface. I saw that the stone scraped out layers of powder.
Yu Qi asked Sanxi to guard the door, and he couldn't help but be surprised to look.
When he came to Zisu, Yu Qi asked softly, "Sister, what is this?" ”
Zisu said: "Baishi." We use gum leaves to make crystal sugar powder in the south, but we don't have it here, so we can only use white stone to make tofu instead. ”
Yu Qi said strangely: "When did this happen?" Where did you find it? ”
Zisu smiled: "Don't worry, girl, this is not poison." When the old lady came to speak, I asked Ju'er for it. ”
When Yu Qi heard Zisu say this, she was a little sad, so she said, "My sister is too careful." ”
So, Yu Qi stopped talking and exited the door to guard with Sanxi.
I don't know how long Zisu has been doing it, but the old lady sent a few waves of people to take a look and urge a few. Yu Qi stopped Zisu outside, and just said, "It's almost over!" ”
Later, Zhuang Yu came to see Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Xuan, Zhuang Ying, Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Jue, and Zhuang Ying, and wanted to go in to see it. Yu Qi couldn't stop it, so he had to let him go. When everyone entered the kitchen, they happened to see Zisu steaming the rouge bowl in the pot. The bowl of red and bright rouge water is very good-looking. After waiting for a while, I saw Zisu wrapping the bowl with a handkerchief, holding it up, and putting it on the basin to float and cool it. After a few processes, the bowls of rouge condensed into a paste, which was crystal ruddy, shiny and translucent, and mouth-watering.
Zhuang Juehuan said: "Sister, give me a bowl to eat first!" ”
Zisu stopped: "What are you anxious about, it's not good yet!" Besides, the bowl hasn't been made yet. ”
As he spoke, Zisu brought the rouge bowl condensed in the basin to the table, and decorated the rouge with a few leaves of vanilla. The combination of red and green is very eye-catching and beautiful.
Zhuang Yu couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so exquisite." I won't be able to taste it in a while! ”
Zi Su said: "It's not cold yet, wait until it's cool and then pour brown sugar ginger water, and the girl still wants to eat it." ”
Zhuang Ying smiled: "It's so painstaking, saying that we did it together, I can't take this face to paste gold myself." It's still Sister Qi's clever hands and feet. ”
Yu Qi only smiled behind him, but did not speak.
Zhuang Qi said: "It's all the same appearance, I just said that a person eats a personal rouge bowl, which bowl is my bowl?" ”
Zisu raised her eyes and looked at Zhuang Xuan, quite disgusted, and sneered: "Girl, your bowl should be bigger, don't worry." ”
Zhuang Xuan glanced at Zisu suspiciously, and always felt that Zisu's voice was strange.
Zhuang Yu said: "The second sister's wants a big bowl, so doesn't the seventh sister's want a small teacup?" ”
The crowd laughed.
Zisu said: "Please rest assured, girls, I have memorized your rouge boxes." Later, each person will have a name serial number on the side of the bowl. You'll know whose it is by serial number. ”
Zhuang Qi coughed and said, "You villagers, you are really meticulous in eating. Don't bother, who you tell us now, we'll be done on our own in a while. ”
The rest of the people also praised Zhuang Xuan's meaning.
Zisu nodded helplessly.
Who knows, Zhuang Xuan said this with a plan. At this moment, how do everyone know what Zhuang Xuan is planning?
During Zisu's busy period, in order not to affect Zisu's hands and feet, Yu Qi said to everyone: "Sisters and sisters, or you go back first." We'll bring it to you later. ”
The people did not want to go.
Zhuang Ying was the most unwilling, and shouted: "I'll stay and help my sister serve, there are many people in the house, how can you be busy enough." ”
Yu Qi was very embarrassed, and when he saw Zisu, Zisu was silent, concentrating on serving the bowl out of the basin.
Zhuang Xuan felt the Lord on one side, smiled and sighed, and opened his arms to block the sisters out: "Let's go, let's go!" So many people are standing here, not to mention that the foaming stars fall into the bowl, and the farm dust you are all over will fall into it, and you won't be able to eat. ”
Zhuang Xiu's words are very powerful, and he will be sarcastic, and the sisters don't want to leave when they hear it, they have to go, after all, Zhuang Qi still pushes them out.
Seeing everyone leaving, Yu Qi went to pick up the bowl in Zisu's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, I'll come." ”
Zisu didn't give Yu Qi, he was still busy by himself, and said, "Girl, go too, I'll come by myself." ”
Yu Qi was about to respond to something, but suddenly Zhuang Qi laughed, and in a blink of an eye, he saw her and the girl Wanjin come in.
Yu Qi and Zisu were slightly shocked in their hearts, and turned their heads to look at Zhuang Qi.
Zhuang Xuan's heart was full of joy, dancing with his hands, turning around in front of the table where the rouge bowl was placed, and assigning the girl Wanjin: "Okay, you go first!" ”
Yu Qi said strangely: "Didn't the second sister go?" How to toss yourself again. ”
Zhuang Qi smiled and glanced at Yu Qi: "Since it is a joint force, how can it be that you are busy and I am idle." In the business field, buying and selling cooperation, whether it is a profit or a loss, everyone should share it together. ”
Saying that, Zhuang Xuan also served the bowl himself.
Unexpectedly, Zisu drank: "Don't move!" ”
Zhuang Xuan's hand stopped on the edge of the bowl, as if it had been shaken by thunder.
