Chapter 21: A Parting Porridge
Chapter 21: A Parting Porridge
"Baitu, which eye do you have? Which ear heard Li Zhi judge that your sister is not at all? Qiu Qian'an frowned, he didn't wait for Qiu Baitu's reaction, "Baitu, Xiao Jiu and you have a relationship?" ”
"Brother and sister!"
"What if the Father is absent?"
"Daddy!" Qiu Baitu frowned, but looked at Qiu Qian'an's unquestionable and evasive affection, "As the eldest brother, I must be the eldest brother as the father......"
"Baitu, the road ahead is very long......" Qiu Qian'an suddenly changed his words, "Maybe you can't see Xiao Jiu's shining point now, but you will find Xiao Jiu's advantages in the future?" What's more, hasn't Xiao Jiu changed a lot now? ”
"Daddy!" Qiu Baitu was so touched by Qiu Qian'an, and he was immediately ashamed of his stereotype of Qiu Tian, after all, he was aware of her changes at the beginning and made her abnormal.
Maybe this is the wisdom of the fold, after all, Shiano also said that when he combed and found Qiu Tian, not only was there a wolf pack in front of him to block the wolf's mouth and almost lost his life, but there were barbarian villagers chasing him later.
Although Jiang Chaoye helped deal with those villagers, when he thought that Qiu Tian was facing life and death, anger came from it, but when he thought that Qiu Tian almost destroyed the business relationship between the Qiu family and the Li family, which had been a hundred years old, he was not only annoyed.
At this moment, he frowned in annoyance.
Qiu Qian'an stretched his waist, "Let's go!" Go to Xiaojiu Yard! ”
"Daddy! I still didn't go, so that Xiao Jiu would be upset when he saw me. Qiu Baitu said directly, and without waiting for Qiu Qian'an to answer, he turned around and walked back to his study.
Qiu Qian'an looked at Qiu Baitu's back and sighed helplessly, and shouted to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, send my dinner to Xiao Jiu!" ”
On the other side, Mrs. Qiu, who had just received the news, was so angry that she gritted her teeth, picked up the ginseng soup brought in by the personal maid and threw it on the ground, and shouted angrily: "Go to the slut's daughter!" All go there...... Get out of here! ”
"Madame, rest your anger!" The personal maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and hurriedly diverted Mrs. Qiu's attention, "Madam, there is still the eldest young master dining with you tonight!" ”
"Right...... And my big boy! Mrs. Qiu hurriedly straightened her hair, but another servant of the housekeeper hurriedly came in and fearfully conveyed the news that Qiu Baitu couldn't come to eat together, and Mrs. Qiu couldn't stop and swept away the dishes on the table, "Get out of here-"
"Madame!"
"Get out—"
Qiu Tian's small courtyard is as lively as in the past, and the two of Qiu and Hebei in the Western Regions and Qiu Hebei are dying in the courtyard, waiting for Qiu Tian to make dinner.
As for why Qiu Tian didn't marry the hall for dinner!
One word: lazy!
She didn't want to eat a meal, and she was deceitful and flattering, and even more so, she had to eat the mediocre dishes with a dignified manner.
Therefore, she never wanted to eat the craftsmanship of the chef of the uncle's mansion since she ate three meals. Therefore, in recent days, she has done it herself, and even the night before entering the palace, she is still fighting in the small kitchen.
Qiu Tian looked at Gu Ziniang and pointed to the wooden barrel, "Miss, this is what my husband caught in the lake." ”
"It's very fresh, I'll bring it to you."
Qiu Tian looked at the shrimp and crabs in the bucket, and looked at Gu Ziniang unexpectedly, "You can sell them for money, and you can keep them for yourself!" ”
"Thanks to the young lady, let the slave maid come to the small kitchen to help, the housekeeper has already added money to me, so that I can afford to take my daughter to the doctor for medical treatment, otherwise it will ......" Gu Ziniang said in pieces, but with joy and gratitude on her face, "Miss's great kindness to our family, we are unforgettable, and we can't repay it." Xianggong also learned that the young lady's cooking skills were first-class, and as soon as he called, he asked the slave to send it to you quickly. ”
"If we coarse people keep it, we will only waste this kind of life. But in the hands of the young lady, this freshness must be transformed into a first-class delicacy. Gu Ziniang's eyes changed from gratitude to worship when she looked at Qiu Tian.
It is also the first time she has seen first-class cooking, amiable, and will deliberately set aside a master for people to try, the most important point, any questions about cooking, Miss will also answer, even after the pickles on demand, the taste and texture have not been improved to a level, but also let her take it to the grocery store run by the Qiu family, so that the shopkeeper can taste it and buy it with herself......
As soon as Gu Ziniang thought of this, she knelt on the ground, "Miss's kindness, our family ......"
Qiu Tian hurriedly took Gu Ziniang's hand, and glanced at Gu Zi who was playing with a burning stick next to her, "Xiao Gu Zi is also very cute." When she thought of passing by in the outer courtyard and seeing a very neutrally dressed, only five-year-old Gu Zi being bullied by the children of other grandmothers in the outer courtyard, even if she was beaten and cried, she had to hold on to the tofu in her arms.
"Little Grain!"
Xiao Guzi rushed over, looked up at Qiu Tian, and asked in a childish baby voice, "Miss, are you looking for me?" ”
"That's right!" Qiu Tian replied sweetly, "You haven't seen me for a long time, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Porridge!" Xiao Guzi said without thinking, while Qiu Tian asked out of pure curiosity, "Why?" ”
"My mother said that I haven't eaten for a long time, and drinking porridge is good for my health." Xiao Guzi looked at Qiu Tian with a straight face like an old gentleman, "I remember that Miss only ate very little before going out today......"
Qiu Tian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Guzi who was paying attention to his every move in surprise, "Do you remember?" Xiao Guzi nodded, "Miss, you are very good at cooking, but you don't take it seriously when you eat, you are always distracted, if Miss's mother is here, you will definitely blame Miss......"
"Millet!" Gu Ziniang hurriedly scolded, then knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Miss, Gu Zi didn't mean to offend you!" Miss ......"
"Mother! Miss is not eating well, Madame is not here, I can also stare at Mademoiselle to eat, she is not eating well, I will help Madame slap her palm......" Xiao Guzi smiled at her innocently, and Qiu Tian's eyes couldn't help but be hot, this was from the self-reaction of the original owner of her body, she hurriedly raised her head and looked at the roof, "Gu Ziniang, help me deal with those shrimp and crabs!" ”
"Miss......" Gu Ziniang looked at her back hesitantly, "Miss, Xiao Guzi ......"
"Tonight, let's eat porridge!" Qiu Tian rolled up his sleeves, turned around and touched Guzi's head, and walked to three rice filled with different fields.
"Good...... Good! Gu Ziniang hurriedly got up from the ground, picked up the bucket and pulled the grain out of the small kitchen.
She mixes the rice in proportion, washes it and soaks it in oil, then finds a large casserole pot and puts it on the stovetop to boil the excess water, and she also handles the ingredients and seasoning of the green onions, ginger and coriander.
In a moment, Gu Ziniang cleaned up the shrimp and brought them in categories.
Qiu Tian looked at Gu Ziniang, who was about to pour the shrimp head into the bucket, and hurriedly shouted: "Gu Ziniang, slow down!" ”
"Miss, this is a shrimp head!"
"Give it to me!" Qiu Tian took the small basin containing the shrimp head in one hand, then burned it into a red-hot casserole, poured in the oil, and poured the shrimp head into the hot pan when the oil was cold, and quickly stir-fried.
Because the shrimp head itself has water, the shrimp oil also flows out slowly during the stir-frying process, mixing with the fat and turning into an orange-red color, after which she pours water like water and covers the pot to boil.
After a stick of incense, the rice had been slightly boiled, and she poured in the previously cut shiitake mushroom slices, yuba inches, and a few small scallops that had been soaked but were not used to cook the soup.
In the process of waiting, she selected a relatively large shrimp to make braised prawns, and when she was collecting juice for the braised prawns, she asked Gu Ziniang to pour in the processed prawns and crabs and boil them together for a quarter of an hour.
After that, she asked (Chun) Tea to help her open the bellows and stir-fry the relatively large crabs to make the typhoon shelter fried crabs. On the other side, the millet lady also made the winter vegetables and put them on the table.
"Eighth! You see, the time is just right! Qiu Jixi cheekily jumped into the small kitchen, and looked at the crabs, prawns, vegetables and the casserole that had been boiling on the table with satisfaction, "Xiao Jiu, what kind of dishes are these?" ”
Qiu Tian was already unhappy with Qiu Jixi and Qiu Jibei's behavior of rubbing rice, but she was helpless, after all, she couldn't knock these two away. When it came to the meal, the two of them stuck to themselves like a dog's skin plaster.
When Qiu Tian was about to introduce him quietly, Qiu Qian'an crossed the threshold and entered and exited the small kitchen, "Wait for my father!" ”
"Daddy—"
"Uncle Guo—"
Everyone saluted Qiu Qian'an, and Qiu Qian'an walked to the table with meteor steps, looking at the three dishes and one casserole on the table, "Fortunately, I caught up, otherwise the next time I eat the delicacies that Xiao Jiu made for my father, I'm afraid it will be a month later." ”
Qiu Tian looked at another person rubbing rice, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and Gu Ziniang and Xiao Guzi stepped aside with interest.
She proposed, "Daddy! The kitchen is cramped, why don't you go to the courtyard to eat? ”
"Good!" Qiu Qian'an happily agreed to Qiu Tian's suggestion, and took the lead with the two brothers. Qiu Tian, on the other hand, took a little out of each plate, and took the porridge boiled in the casserole into two small bowls, and then sprinkled with pepper, coriander and green onions.
"Spring tea, spring fragrance, millet mother...... Bring things over! I shouted at the three of them, and the three of them immediately moved with interest, and when I asked her, I "bited" her ear in Xiaoguzi's ear.
She made a "shh......h
Then, Qiu Tian watched her silently walk to the side, as if the confession just now had not happened.
Faced with Xiao Guzi's reaction, Qiu Tian couldn't help but take off her apron and cut her haircut and clothes, and left the small kitchen.
Chuncha returned to the small kitchen and looked at Xiao Guzi, and teased: "Xiao Guzi, aren't you afraid of Miss?" ”
"Miss is not terrible!" Xiao Guzi frowned and replied angrily: "The people outside have broken mouths and filthy Miss Reputation." I can't hope that Miss is so ......" and it happened that Qiu Tian came back to the small kitchen to get pepper powder and heard this, and felt that all the hardships she had encountered in whitewashing the original owner during this time were worth it, and she was grateful.
But in the deep palace, the battle is afraid that she will have to live with her life again......
