Chapter 317: Extra Meals
When he turned to look at Wanwan again, Xiao Jing's face was already as usual, still frowning slightly, and asked, "You don't help in the kitchen, what are you doing here?"
Wanwan grabbed one of his arms, "Don't think I don't know, you must be trying to run away with your sister-in-law"
Xiao Jing glanced at Su Xiaojiu and said, "I'm just going to send your sister-in-law Xiaojiu, and I'll be back later." ”
"I don't believe me, I don't care, if you want to go out and steal food, I'll go too"
Su Xiaojiu was a little weak-hearted, and they were going to go back and make mutton buns by themselves, so could they eat them secretly
"Shh
Xiao Jing looked inside the gate, and from time to time there were little servants looking towards this side, and said unhappily, "If you are disobedient, I will tell Mama and let her take you back personally." ”
"Okay, if you have the ability, you can call her over now and see who she wants to arrest."
Xiao Jing
Wanwan looked at him proudly with her arms folded, and smiled very treacherously.
Su Xiaojiu was confused by the two of you, what is the situation, is this whether they are going or not leaving now
Seeing that Xiao Jing didn't speak, he came over and grabbed Su Xiaojiu's shoulder, turned into a sweet girl in a second, and shook her coquettishly, "Fairy sister-in-law, you can take me with you, anyway, there are already two oil bottles"
She pointed to the civil and military brothers and said, "It's not bad to take me another one."
Civil and military
Su Xiaojiu couldn't make a decision, so he had to look at Xiao Jing again.
Xiao Jing, who was able to tie Xu Ying up with a horsewhip and force her to obey, actually compromised
"Then don't talk nonsense, if you want to leave, hurry up"
The direction of the plot is getting weirder and weirder.
"Give me all that"
The five people outside the door trembled at the same time, and Xiao Jing shot a knife at Wanwan, blaming this girl for delaying time
Wanwan also had a bitter face, and leaned weakly on Su Xiaojiu's body, almost crushing her, "It's over, I'm going to test poison again today"
Mama Pan had already chased out with a big spoon, and saw that everyone was standing at the door, Xiao Jing was holding the burden in his hand, and knocked the spoon on the door with a loud bang, "Didn't you say that you will leave after dinner, my fish are stewed, and no one is allowed to leave today."
After speaking, he saw Wanwan leaning on Su Xiaojiu, went over and twisted her ears to pick her up, and scolded, "Dead girl, your sister-in-law is so thin, don't crush her"
"Hey, mother, let go and it hurts to death"
In the end, no one made it.
It wasn't until he sat down at the dinner table that Su Xiaojiu understood Xiao Jing's good intentions.
Therefore, Mama Pan's cooking is really unpalatable
A good stewed fish, even with bitter gourd, said that the early winter is dry, easy to get angry, it is good to eat more bitter gourd.
The syrup was boiled black, and the entrance was burnt and bitter.
Finally, there is a beef brisket stewed with potatoes, it looks pretty good, good guy, a chopstick went down, and no one was killed.
The more Su Xiaojiu ate, the more desperate he became, looking at the only dish on the table that he had not tasted, cabbage stewed tofu, and tasted it with the idea of a desperate life.
Evening and night, like a heroic righteousness, he put vegetables in his mouth like ashes, and ate them all, regardless of whether they were sweet or salty.
Because she knew that if she dared to say that half of it was not delicious, it would be another beating.
What not to eat
Hehe, the beating is even more poisonous.
Mama Pan kept distributing vegetables for everyone, and said regretfully, "The world is not good now, and many ingredients can't be bought, otherwise it should be more abundant."
Su Xiaojiu swallowed the shrimp balls that pulled his throat in his mouth hard, and smiled heartily, "These are enough." ”
Really, she couldn't accept more strange dishes
Mama Pan thinks that eating shrimp skin can strengthen muscles and bones, so she never peels it when making shrimp balls, and chops them whole with skin
Xiao Jing looked at her distressedly, and took away the remaining shrimp balls in her bowl, "I like to eat this, give it to me." ”
"You kid, there are so many on the plate, what do you have to do to grab the wine?"
Mama Pan glared at Xiao Jing, picked up the big spoon in the shrimp ball soup, and was about to fish it for her again, Su Xiaojiu was so frightened that she hurriedly held the big spoon and said, "Mama, I like to drink soup, let's drink some soup."
"Yes, Mama put winter bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms in the shrimp ball soup, and it is bright."
"Hehe, it's very fresh."
Su Xiaojiu looked at the big bowl full in front of her, and thanked the Creator for letting the liquid flow, otherwise she had no doubt that with Mama Pan's enthusiasm, the soup in her bowl would be sharp.
Fortunately, in addition to the hidden mystery in the shrimp balls, the taste of this soup can still be eaten, she relied on two bowls of soup to fill her stomach, and made Mama Pan happy as if the peony was blooming, and threatened to wait for the next time the wine came again, and she would make shrimp ball soup for her
The satisfaction of eating a meal was still painful, and Mama Pan tried her best to keep it, but in the end she couldn't persuade Su Xiaojiu to spend the night, and she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes very disappointed.
sigh
It is rare to have a feeling of escaping, Su Xiaojiu looked at Xiao Jing's gaze and couldn't help but feel more sympathy, "Has Mama Pan's cooking skills always been like this?"
Xiao Jing raised his eyes to look at her, "Otherwise, why do you think I am always on duty in the palace at night?"
This is also the reason why he is tolerant enough to be late and late, eating such meals every day, it is strange and pitiful that he has no way to hide and is powerless to resist.
"Then when Mama said to keep the meal at the beginning, why didn't you just refuse?"
If you don't agree at first, you shouldn't have to go through the pain of this severed head tonight
"Do you find it useful to refuse?"
Xiao Jing was helpless many times today, he rubbed the corners of his forehead, he couldn't understand Mama's temperament anymore, since he wanted to leave a little wine to eat, he wouldn't let her go anyway, so he didn't refuse at first, and wanted to sneak away with a little wine while she was busy with work.
Who knew that he was held back by Wanwan.
The slightest sympathy for her just now vanished in an instant.
"Would you like to eat something more?"
Su Xiaojiu hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I drank two big bowls of soup just now, and I was about to vomit." ”
"Sister, but we're so hungry"
Su Wen and Su Wu looked at her pitifully, Rao is two of them used to lack food and clothing, and it was still difficult to swallow the food cooked by Mama Pan, so they didn't eat a few bites, and they didn't dare to say it in front of Xiao Jing, but they didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention it.
Su Xiaojiu was fighting a tug-of-war with Mama Pan all night, and he didn't care about his two younger brothers, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then what do you want to eat, my sister will cook it for you."
Xiao Jing lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage, just passing by a restaurant, so he said, "It's late to go back, it's better to eat outside and go back." ”
It was almost closing time, there were no customers in the store, and the three dishes and one soup were served quickly.
The two little guys gobbled up, while Su Xiaojiu chatted with Xiao Jing, remembering that there were still many things that he hadn't bought, and said regretfully, "I came out all day today, and I haven't bought anything that should be bought, and I don't know if it's too late tomorrow." ”
"It just so happens that there is a flower market tomorrow, what do you want to buy, I'll go with you."
"In the flower market, I want to buy something else besides flowers, such as window flowers, couplets or something, we only moved into the house yesterday, and we didn't prepare much for the New Year."
Xiao Er, who wiped the table next to him, smiled and said, "When I heard that the girl was not a local, this boy said that the flower market is not the other flower market, the two are very different."
Su Xiaojiu turned his head to look at him and said strangely, "Then the troublesome little brother said, what's the difference?"
The little twenty was very talkative, and explained, "We have an unwritten rule in Beijing, that is, every year on the twenty-eighth day of the year, in order to go home early for the New Year, the traders will sell the unsold goods at a low price, and some even lose money. ”
Su Xiaojiu suddenly said, "I see." ”
Xiao Er looked at a few people in gorgeous clothes, it must not be the person who went to the flower market in order to pick up the cheap, and said, "But there are also many people who have not been able to buy it all before, and go to the market on the last day to check and fill in the gaps, it depends on luck, because generally good things are sold faster, if the girl wants to go, it is best to hurry up tomorrow." ”
She looked at Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing nodded at her and said, "What he said is good, it's just that the flower market is mixed, and it's not suitable for you to go, so it's better for you to list the things you want to buy later, and I'll buy them for you." ”
The Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year, that is, no matter how poor people are very important, this year there are so many foreign victims in Beijing, tomorrow's flower market will be more chaotic than in previous years.
"It's okay, it's lively when there are more people, so you can take your younger brothers for a good stroll."
Su Wen Su Wu nodded vigorously, "Mmmm, we also want to go to the market."
They used to have no one to care, wandering on the streets every day, like little beggars, and they didn't think the market was so good, but then they entered the Guozijian and were not allowed to enter and leave freely, so they began to miss the freedom to go out at any time before, and when it came to rushing to the market, they couldn't wait.
So Xiao Jing said, "It's okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”
"Aren't you worth it tomorrow?"
Xiao Jingdao, "The guards are also going to celebrate the New Year, I will take turns with Lu Cheng, and let him go tomorrow." ”
He has never liked to be lively, in the past New Year, sympathetic to Lu Cheng to reunite with his family, always from childhood to sixteen, for which Mama Pan complained a lot, saying that the emperor was not sympathetic to the courtiers, and he would not let people go home during the New Year.
Now it's not too much to let Lu Cheng do it for him for a day.
Su Xiaojiu didn't know this, and when he arrived at the door, he said that he should invite Xiao Jing into the house to sit, but he felt that it was dark, and it didn't seem appropriate to invite him in.
Xiao Jing didn't mean to go in, watched her enter the door, and said, "You can sleep more tomorrow, those things are very easy to buy, and you don't need to get up early." ”
Su Xiaojiu could clearly feel his good mood, because the words he had said to himself today alone were almost more than all the things he had said in the past combined.
The three sisters and brothers were very energetic, and tried the new cotton clothes she brought one by one, and the two little ones pestered her to tell her a lot of new things in the national prison, and then fell asleep.
The "flower market" is really as described by Xiao Er, and the things are the same as not asking for money.
Of course, all the goods are things that are not very valuable in the first place, especially the money pasted on the doors and windows selected by Su Xiaojiu, the door gods and the like, once the Spring Festival is over, they can only wait for next year to use it, so the vendors are almost selling and sending it away, and they can't wait to stuff it all to her.
Fortunately, she now has a big house, and there are many places that need to be pasted, and finally wrapped a round for the vendor, and the hawker thanked him a thousand times and closed the stall happily.
"Is there anything else to buy?"
Before she knew it, it was already noon, Xiao Jing was carrying a lot of things in both hands, seeing her looking left and right, she felt funny, and thought that it was difficult for her to get out of the palace on weekdays, so she wanted to accompany her for a while.
"By the way, at the end of the spring, she said that I would help her bring a hibiscus cake in West Market, but I almost forgot about it."
Xiao Jing looked at the sky, it was a little gloomy today, it might snow at any time, Xishi was some distance from here, with her footsteps, at least half of the time to burn incense.
Looking at the two boys again, they were already hungry after walking for a long time, and they would definitely not be able to bear it if they walked a long way, so they pointed to the restaurant last night and said, "That's it, you go and order food first, I'll buy it faster." ”
Originally, Xiaojiu wanted to go home and cook by herself, but she was tired after shopping for a long time, and she was going back to the palace this afternoon, she didn't want to waste all her time on cooking, so she agreed that she would make mutton buns for her younger brothers next time she came back.
Different from last night's coldness, today's restaurant was overcrowded, they finally found a place on the second floor, Xiao Er recognized them, very enthusiastic, wiped the table and wiped it, Xiao Jing watched them sit down, put down their things, and left after a few simple words.
Su Xiaojiu was drinking tea, and on the platform of the main hall on the first floor, the storyteller was spitting, praising the benevolence and righteousness of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion.
Speaking of foresight, the entire Shangjing, full of nobles, is not comparable to the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion.
Yongyi Marquis has been a horse all his life, not only proficient in warfare, but also has a very good set of governance, and has made arrangements before the Quartet disaster victims enter the city, without disturbing the lives of the people in the city at all, and is also willing to give, buying a large number of disaster relief materials out of his own pocket, solving the emperor's urgent need, and really being a model for the courtiers.
The people around him also talked about it, most of them agreed with what he said, and said that some people couldn't help but stand up with a wine glass and said, "In the year of the catastrophe, we can still sit here and drink wine and eat meat, all thanks to the foresight of the Marquis of Yongyi, with the world in mind, let us raise a glass together, and wish the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion the rising moon and the eternal prosperity."
Many people got up and echoed, and they raised their glasses and said some words of blessing, which was nothing more than wishing Yongyi Hou good health, longevity, and the flourishing branches of the Lu family.
Some people even mentioned the imperial concubine in the palace, saying that for this disaster relief, they took out 500,000 taels of silver from the private treasury, which was more motherly than the silence of the middle palace, but it was quickly pressed down by the people at the same table covering their mouths.
The 500,000 taels she only sent to the Hou Mansion yesterday, and it has been circulated on the street today, which shows that the news deliberately spread by the Hou Ye to build momentum for Niangniang among the people.
"Sister, is the Yongyi Hou they are talking about Grandpa Lu?"
The two brothers were no longer ignorant children, and when they heard everyone's words, they couldn't help but ask.
