Chapter 160: Steamed Cake
The next day, due to the work of the biological clock, Xu Miao, who could have slept lazily, unconsciously felt awake. Please search (book lover) to see the most complete! The fastest updated little Nizi was speechless, she took a comfortable hot bath yesterday, and she planned to sleep well and recuperate, but she didn't expect to wake up at this time.
Looking at the sky outside before dawn, he was lying on the bed alone, looking at the roof of the shed boredly. Thinking carefully about the half-day trip to Fucheng yesterday, from the store to the deposit, and then to the appearance of Qin Wuye in the evening, she always felt that all this was too unreal.
In my previous life, I also read some e-books, and I always felt a little nonsense about the things written on them, but when I came to such a place where birds don't, I was really looking forward to it, looking forward to having some space, or digging up a box of gold and silver, etc.
But a year has passed, there is nothing, and he has relied entirely on his own hands to support himself until now, and finally climbed to a big man like Qin Wuye and Ouyang Minrui, but to do things, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must be careful in everything.
Maybe it's really like what Qin Wuye said, don't develop too fast, as the old saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird. The words that Qin Wuye was leaving yesterday should be what he meant, not that he would stand by and watch.
After thinking about it for so long, Xiao Nizi looked up at the Etian'er outside, it was less than a quarter of an hour, nearly two hours, and the sky could only dawn, which was equivalent to four hours in modern times.
It's really a terrible thing to not sleep for such a good time, and to think nonsense here. Lying left and right, Xiao Nizi finally gave up baking cakes on the bed, got up, and got dressed.
As soon as the clothes were put on here, there was a knock at the door over there, very soft,
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Who?!" Xu Miao asked vigilantly, sitting quietly on the bed, listening to the sounds outside. It's so early in the morning, the Ouyang family won't get up so early, it's too outrageous.
"Miss Xu is me, are you awake, didn't you say last time that you wanted to learn to make steamed cakes? The slave and maid have already told the kitchen that they will come in and wash up. ”
It was Dongmei's voice, Xu Miao was overjoyed, walked quickly to the door, stretched out his hand to open the door, saw Dongmei holding a basin of water, and said with a smile:
"Come in, why are you up so early?"
Dongmei entered the house, put the basin aside, took out the fire fold and lit the candle, and then said:
"Knowing that you get up at this hour every day, and thinking that coming here is no exception, I came to accompany you, but seeing that your candle was not lit, I thought you were not awake, so I knocked on the door a few times."
When Xu Miao heard this, her heart suddenly warmed, she walked to the basin, soaked the veil, wiped her face, and said with a smile:
"Or do you love me, is that steamed cake easy to learn?"
"Well, it's studious, you have the materials there, I'll finish talking to Aunt Wang, and when the time comes, she will teach you, learn to go home and do it, even if it's cold, those three small ones can be eaten." Dongmei chuckled lightly after speaking, and helped Xu Miao tidy up her things.
Yesterday I bought a lot of young and old, she also prepared a lot, when I was going to sleep, the housekeeper brought some more, saying that it was prepared by the eldest young master, and it was inconvenient to hold several cloth bags, so Dongmei made a big furoshiki overnight, and put all the small burdens in it, so that it was easy to hold.
After Xu Miao washed her face, she wiped her face with the small box of balsam that Dongmei gave her yesterday, looked at the things Dongmei cleaned up, couldn't help sighing, shook her head and said:
"I know, I'm here to talk to Ouyang Gongzi about business, I don't know, I think I'm a relative in the countryside, and I'm here to fight the autumn breeze."
Fighting the autumn wind is also called beating the harvest, which refers to a social phenomenon that asks people for property or gifts under the guise of a name and using a relationship, basically the rural areas use this word, that is, to go to the house of a wealthy relative, get some money, good things, most of which is a derogatory term.
When Dongmei heard this, she laughed, sat on the chair, fastened the button, and said, "You, you, you have to belittle yourself so much, the eldest young master gave you these things, undoubtedly to help you now, and you can give him more goods in the future." ”
"You don't know, when Dongxue and I first came back, the eldest young master once looked for the two of us, and the meaning of the words was, let us get along with you well, and if there is anything in the future, you will definitely be able to help."
"He also said that you are not a thing in the pool, and you will definitely soar in the future, even San Lang and Xiao Wu have praised it all over again, saying that although San Lang is anxious, but in a few years, he will be calm. Xiao Wu is smart and will definitely be able to become a leader in the future. ”
This is not a low evaluation, Xu Miao raised her eyebrows, chuckled, sat on the chair, gently tapped her fingers on the tabletop, and then sighed and said:
"I hope so, Xiao Wu, I'm not worried yet, the only thing I'm worried about is San Lang, that kid's body is not good, if it's really ...... Alas! ”
"Don't worry, when I go to the field, I will also help you inquire about all kinds of home remedies, San Lang's body will definitely be fine, don't worry."
After Dongmei said this, Xu Miao didn't squeak, but stood up and walked outside. Now Saburo's body has no bones, but Mr. Wu once said that the child's body is getting weaker and weaker the older he gets.
She has always been hanging in her heart, although San Lang is okay now, she is twelve years old, and the child's body bones have not yet grown, but once ...... Whenever she thought of this, Xu Miao didn't dare to think about it, for fear of ...... again Alas!
When they came to the kitchen, the mother-in-law had already begun to prepare breakfast, and a woman dressed in gray clothes, after seeing Dongmei and the two of them coming in, hurried over, curtsied, and said:
"Miss Dongmei is here, presumably this is Miss Xu, please say hello to Miss Xu."
Xu Miao looked at the woman in front of her, knowing that this was the Aunt Wang mentioned by Dongmei just now, so she quickly turned sideways and saluted, saying:
"Aunt Wang is polite, I just want to learn to make some pastries, and I can give it to my brother and sister when I go back.
"Miss Xu really feels sorry for her brother and sister." After Mrs. Wang finished speaking with emotion, she gestured sideways and said, "Miss Xu is polite, originally we were going to make pastries for breakfast, and there was no disturbance." ”
While talking, he came to the board, the noodles had been sent in advance, Aunt Wang talked about the process of each step while doing it, Xu Miao remembered very seriously, and Dongmei on the side took a pen and paper, and quickly said what Aunt Wang said, and recorded them one by one.
Ouyang's pastries, each of them is very exquisite, but each one is not very cumbersome, and basically all of them are steamed. According to this Aunt Wang, Old Madam Ouyang has a physique that is easy to catch fire, so it is better to eat steamed food than roasted food.
Xu Miao's house does not have an oven, but there are three or four of these steaming cauldrons, and seeing that it is about to enter winter again, steam more and put it in the south house, and save the money to buy trough cakes.
stayed in the kitchen until Chen Shizheng, Dongmei pulled Xu Miao back to the room, originally thought that this breakfast was going to be eaten with Ouyang Minrui, but I didn't expect that Ouyang Minrui had a party yesterday and didn't come back until now.
Xu Miao knew in her heart that when men go out to socialize, it is a big night, most of them are romantic places like theaters and spring buildings, and if they don't return at night, they will naturally stay there, Xiao Nizi looked at the table full of things on the table, and sighed speechlessly.
Just when Dongmei walked in from outside, she heard a sigh, and "poof" laughed, and after coming in with a food box in her hand, she said:
"What, it's difficult? Don't be afraid, if you can't finish eating, I'll fill it in a food box for you, and you can take it back. ”
No way!
Xu Miao really can't stand it anymore, what is this?! Can't finish eating and take away?! Xiao Nizi frowned and was about to speak, but Dongmei hurriedly took the lead and said:
"Don't worry, this is not for you, our eldest young master is going to have a banquet on October 15, this is the letter he left you yesterday."
Xu Miao heard that he took the letter, and then slowly unfolded it, the letter said that it was his birthday, and his parents and sisters were not here, so he wanted to entertain guests in the mansion, and asked Xu Miao to send some tofu and dried tofu, and invited her to come over that day to celebrate.
As for the money for tofu and dried tofu, it was exchanged for these pastries and the things he sent. Although it was a bit of a joke, it made Xu Miao feel a little at ease.
At least it's not completely taking advantage of others, she will make up for it in the future, thinking of this, Xu Miao put away the letter, and then looked at Dongmei slyly, and said:
"Then you have to decorate it for me, my tofu is expensive."
"Huh...... You-" Dongmei finished with a smile and began to help with the food box, Xu Miao was eating breakfast here, and her mind kept thinking about Ouyang Minrui's birthday, what she should send.
When it comes to giving things, she really doesn't have the ability at all, she can't get strange things, and she has no money to buy rare treasures. It's also a headache.
After breakfast, Dongmei bumped everything into the carriage, and then helped Xu Miao to the carriage, the carriage was at the back door of Ouyang's house, so there were not many pedestrians coming and going, Xu Miao took Dongmei's hand, sighed softly, and said:
"Are you leaving in the afternoon?"
"Hmm." Dongmei nodded and responded softly.
Seeing this, Xu Miao took the initiative to hug her, and said: "When you go out, you have to pay attention to everything, we can communicate letters, if there is anything that doesn't go well, just tell me, you know?" ”
"Don't worry, I will."
Xu Miao smiled knowingly, turned his head and got into the carriage, sat in the car, shook his head at him through the curtain and said goodbye, "Go back, when you come back, remember to go to Xiaoba's house to find me, don't forget." ”
"Well, no, let's go, the three children in the family have to wait in a hurry." Dongmei said intimately, and then waved her hand at the coachman, who raised his whip, and the carriage "squeaked...... Squeaked ......" walked up, until she turned the corner and couldn't see, Dongmei turned around and planned to go home, not wanting to bump into Ouyang Minrui:
"Young Master?!"
"Hmm!" Ouyang Minrui nodded, and left behind his hands......
