Chapter 220: Return Gift
After Shui Qing finished saying the name of the dish, he took Zijue to the mansion to wander around, and the little guy behind him was holding all the food: what Quanfuju's steamed buns, what Xiangzhai's grilled chicken, what Xianweilou's sauced beef......
They eat and play all the way, and they are not afraid of being hungry at all, so they will naturally not be in a hurry; But the kitchen in Ganfu was busy, and everyone was sweating profusely. (倩倩Chinese.)
Ten dishes?! Can one of the dishes be called a dish, although it is not the kind of dish that stews for two or three days, but the cumbersomeness of each dish can make people have a headache to death.
The simplest is a rhetoric: ten kinds of tongues, in addition to poultry and several kinds of birds, it is not very difficult to get together, but the natural meat quality is different in different animals.
So some have to be fried, some have to be boiled, some have to be steam......ed, and the problem is that the number of tongues is not very large, and if the heat is a little less or a little older, the taste of the dish will be much worse.
This is just the preparation before cooking, to really make a dish you have to make a sauce, the sauce needs to be fresh, in addition to the commonly used ginger, onion and garlic, but also the juice of several fruits.
It's just that some only need the juice of the pulp, some need the skin, and some use the pit: to use, and some need to be boiled - some need to be boiled directly into the pot, and some need to be simmered over the fire.
This is the simplest dish, and it takes some time to get it on the table. What's more, the Gan family has not prepared yet.
Don't agree to Shuiqing's request? Don't say that he came with a heavy gift, and the masters of Ganfu are "not at home" today: who can refuse Shui Qing.
Even if it's Master Gan, what if they are at home, just with the painting of the deputy chief lord, shouldn't you invite them to a meal? The Lord is at his disposal. What, you just don't give it to eat.
Ha, then you just touch your head and think about whether it's your hard head or the long stick of General Shui: Shui Qing gave a heavy gift, but you didn't invite your Gan family to a meal, what kind of relative is this? !
Also, pass it to the eldest princess to tell the eldest princess what the eldest princess thinks of Ganfu: You don't look at Shuifu in your eyes. Did you put the eldest princess in your eyes - that's the eldest princess's painting, and you don't care about a meal?!
Turn your face, ha, Shui Qing is not afraid of the Gan family's face.
So now Ganfu must not turn his face, and can only do his best to make the food on the table; It's just, alas, so hungry - Bao'er touched her stomach and looked at the snacks on the table: "I can only eat something soft." β
Starved to death, it's time to have lunch at this time. However, because of the visit of Shui Qing and Zi Jue, several members of the Gan family were hungry.
There's no way to be so busy in the kitchen, how can you have time to prepare a few meals for them; And after they saw the heavy gift from Shui Qing, it was really hard for them to let the kitchen prepare food for them first.
In case the water is clear, they really won't be able to take it.
Master Gan glanced at his daughter: "Bear with me for a while, I've already asked people to go out to buy food." "He's hungry, too.
It's a pity that their meals won't appear as they wish, because Shui Qing and Zijue "coincidentally" met the Gan family who came in with a food box and came in through the back door.
Needless to say, of course, those meals could not be prepared for the master of the Gan family who was not in the mansion, so of course it was handled by Shui Qing, the cousin young master who grew up in the Gan family: this bold little guy was locked up. Wait until the master returns.
Zi Jue took pity on the beggars who were begging outside, and asked people to send food out and give alms to those beggars. Just let them spend the New Year.
Master Gan, what can they do? Shui Qing grew up in the Gan family, and there are several roads in the Gan family, Shui Qing knows very well, and it is easy to stop them from going out to buy the food they have come back.
At this time, it was even more inconvenient for the people of the Gan family to come forward, so they could only continue to be "not in the house", so they had to continue to be hungry.
The meal was finally put on the table, but Zijue and Shui Qing were not hungry. So every dish moves, put down the chopsticks.
Zijue shook her head: "Taste-"
Shui Qing nodded like pounding garlic: "That's it, this taste is too bad; Someone, someone. I got them all for the beggars - I didn't do my best in the kitchen, and if my aunt wasn't at home, you would be against the sky. β
"Let's go, Zijue, let's take a look." He picked up Zijue and went into the kitchen, and ordered him to stop drinking all the food he was making in the kitchen: of course, it was for the masters of the Gan family.
According to Shui Qing's requirements, the kitchen man can only make another one; And Shui Qing and Zi Jue left the kitchen again, and would come back from time to time to take a look, and the people in the kitchen didn't dare to be a little lazy: their own master?
I can only be hungry, there is no way.
After getting the dishes out again, more than an hour had passed for dinner, Shui Qing and Zi Jue yawned and stretched: "Okay, it's really clumsy to pack it for the master and take it back to eat." β
When the housekeeper heard this, he was really thankful, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve them and wanted to send them away quickly: his master was going to faint from hunger.
Zi Jue stared at the housekeeper with wide eyes: "You just let us go like this, come and don't be rude, what about returning the gift?" I can tell you, it's the eldest princess's painting! β
The housekeeper looked at Zijue and then at Shui Qing, so he could only turn around and prepare a return gift: I have to report it to the masters of the Gan family first, the Gan family, who is so hungry that they are close to their backs, where can they care about this, I just ask Shui Qing and the two to leave quickly.
After returning a heavy salute, Zi Jue and Shui Qing got into the carriage satisfied, and when the carriage just moved, Shui Qing probed out: "If my uncle comes back, tell him that we will come back tomorrow." β
Zi Jue added with a smile: "I won't come empty-handed, I will prepare a generous gift." "She's so satisfied, a painting that can't be sold for moneyβeven if it sells for money in the future, it's not worth a lot of money.
The eldest princess is not a talented girl, if she is not the eldest princess, who will rarely see her painting? But such a painting can be exchanged for a heavy gift, Zi Jue thinks that business can be done.
Shui Qing and Zi Jue left with a smile, but the housekeeper of Gan Mansion almost fell and knocked off his front teeth: Come back tomorrow, my God!
Master Gan's face turned blue when he heard this: "He's forcing us." β
"Don't be afraid, Ming'er, let's get ready, see what he can do to me? When the old generals and they come back, I will go and cry and beg for justice; Hmph, Bao'er can't be the main room, and she will be the concubine of his Shui family. Mrs. Gan's eyes were blue.
"With my aunt here, I think who in the Shui family dares to treat Bao'er as a concubine!" She slapped her palm on the table: "Fight with me, what is this little trick." β
Of course, Zi Jue didn't know that Mrs. Gan was hungry and hungry and was losing her temper, so she just asked Shui Qing: "Ming'er really has to go?" β
"You don't like it?" Shui Qing looked at her.
Zi Jue laughed: "I like it, it's fun." "It's fun to be with Shui Qing, thinking about putting the hungry hearts of the Gan family on their backs, or in their own homes, her heart is going to bloom.
Shui Qing smiled and nodded: "Tomorrow, I won't go to Ganfu; You think, they suffered a loss today, and tomorrow they will definitely be prepared, and the meals are prepared early, how can they be hungry again. β
"But if we don't go, they'll be ready for nothing, haha." Zi Jue laughed: "Then as soon as they were relieved and unprepared, we appeared again; Okay, that's fun. β
With a wave of her little hand, she patted Shui Qing's back: "I like you, I like you so much." She just said it because she was happy, and she didn't think much of it.
It's like she's saying she likes silver.
Shui Qing's eyes darkened slightly, and he reached out to hold Zi Jue's little hand: "Zi Jue, you have to remember what you said, because I also like you." β
Zi Jue knew that what she said just now was a little ambiguous, and she wanted to withdraw her hand but was held by Shui Qing, and suddenly she felt that her strength was so small, and Shui Qing, who was usually weak and easy to bully, suddenly seemed to be strong.
It made her a little out of breath and made her heart beat a little faster; Fortunately, it was darker in the carriage, and I hope Shui Qing didn't see her flushed face.
This blush is a little different from the original blush; What's the difference? Zi Jue secretly glanced at Shui Qing, and his face turned even redder.
Shui Qing didn't go too far, and after gently letting go of Zi Jue's hand, he looked outside the carriage and took a few breaths before speaking: "Do you want to go to the Xia family or the Chi family tomorrow?" β
He had to say something else, preferably something serious, otherwise he was afraid that he would be fussy: Well, his hand went to hold Zi Jue's hand again.
He really wanted to keep his manners, and he didn't have any bad thoughts about Zi Jue in his heart, he just wanted to hold Zi Jue's hand: it was so comfortable and happy.
Zi Jue's shame went most of it at once: "Xia family? β
Shui Qing's dark eyes looked outside the carriage: "It's bullying us, especially if it's calculated on your head, wouldn't it be too weak if we were silent?" β
Zi Jue blinked: "Just like today?" β
"Of course it can't be exactly the same, it's not fun to be exactly the same, is it?" Shui Qing turned his head to look at Zi Jue, and couldn't help but reach out and rub Zi Jue's head: "But tomorrow can be basically the same." β
"What will change depends on which one we go to tomorrow." He looked at Zi Jue: "It depends on what you mean - it's very annoying to always make people come to find trouble, and we have to learn to often find trouble with others in the future." β
Early the next morning, Shui Qing went to greet Wan and Fangzheng people after breakfast, and when she came to find Zijue, she knew that she had gone out first.
She and Mo Chou went to buy something and asked Shui Qing to wait for her for a while. Shui Qing didn't have to think about it to know what Zi Jue was going to buy, thinking of Zi Jue's temperament, he thought that Zi Jue would not come back before dark.
I want to be cheap, and I want to be cheap, Zi Jue wants to find such a good thing, and I can't find it until dark.
Indeed, Zi Jue really had to buy something for Shui Qing to give him a gift, and if he didn't ask Shui Qing to go, he didn't want him to know how much he bought what he bought: it was definitely not as expensive as what Shui Qing bought, so he had to hide it from him.
By noon, what Shui Qing was waiting for was Zi Jue's hairpin: the hairpin he had just given to Zi Jue yesterday.
