Feng Zhirong listened to Ge Yuening's words, and without saying a word, she took her hand and went back inside, while saying, "Let's go back to the middle hall and talk!" It's warm there. ”

Ge Yuening hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no!" It's just a matter of saying a few more words, and it's out of the way. ”

Feng Zhirong saw that Ge Yuening was like this, and no longer insisted, and only asked, "Sister Yuening, what's the matter?" ”

"Zhirong ......" Ge Yuening said this awkwardly and struggled a little, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "I, can I learn to make dim sum from you?" ”

"Huh?" Feng Zhirong was stunned for a while, and then said, "Sister Yuening is serious?" ”

Ge Yuening thought she was going to refuse, but there was an anxious look on her face: "Can't you?" I know Zhirong is strict in your family, I ......"

"No, no." Feng Zhirong saw Ge Yuening like this, and hurriedly relieved: "It's just that Sister Yuening's skills in making dim sum are much better than mine, and I have nothing to teach you!" ”

"No! That's Zhirong, you're too humble! Ge Yuening saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and her eyes lit up: "Don't mention the egg yolk crisp!" Let's just say that...... The cake roll you have made is so dense and fluffy! My grandfather and grandmother are old and have lost their teeth, but this kind of pastry can also enter their mouths! ”

Feng Zhirong only then knew that such an undisguised Ge Yuening was her true face - Ge Yuening was not only a girl who was good at cooking tea and making snacks, but also a pastry idiot!

She thought about it, and then said: "Actually, I'm not that good, the ingredients of these pastries have to happen to be made in such cold weather, especially the fresh cream can make me nerve-wracking, I'm afraid that the materials will not be clean if my hands and feet are slow, and it will not be good to eat bad stomach at that time!" Feng Zhirong said it easily, but the whipped cream alone had taken her a lot of effort—there were no convenient machines like centrifuges or blenders these days, and even if there were, there was still no electricity to drive it, so she could only resign herself to shaking the milk and then taking out the milk fat, until the kitchen maids with puzzled faces did not dare to help after her first demonstration was successful.

Ge Yuening didn't know how difficult Feng Zhirong was during the experiment, but the more she listened, the more she tasted: "There is still some time before noon, can Zhirong write a recipe for me to try at home?" ”

Feng Zhirong agreed: "It's no problem!" However, I still have some materials left in the kitchen, so I can take advantage of this time to demonstrate it to Sister Yuening. ”

Ge Yuening didn't expect Feng Zhirong to be so generous and unselfish, so she nodded gratefully and said, "I don't have anything to repay you, but I have a lot of recipes in my mind, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I can study it with you." ”

Feng Zhirong actually doesn't have much interest in making dim sum, that is, in her previous life, when she was bored at home in her previous life, she would occasionally try it according to the teaching on TV or the Internet, which was purely playful, but now seeing Ge Yuening so attentive, she can't bear to refuse: "There are still many opportunities in the future!" Let's go! I'll take you to the kitchen! ”

Ge Yuening nodded gratefully, this would actually take the initiative to take Feng Zhirong's hand and walk with her to the kitchen like a big sister.

Although I don't know which elder or housekeeper ordered it, the original road from the gate of Feng's mansion to the middle hall was deliberately cleared, so when Feng Zhirong took Zhao Mingyun and his party to the middle hall earlier, he found that there was no shadow of half a person. But now she is leading Ge Yue rather to walk according to the rules, so she also sees the servants of the Feng Mansion busy back and forth on the road.

Ge Yuening watched the servants of the Feng Mansion come and go, and then thought, "Zhirong, isn't it good for us to go to the kitchen now?" ”

Feng Zhirong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Ah! Also, now they are busy cooking Chinese food! …… I think Sister Yuening should take a few more steps and follow me back to the courtyard of the daughters! There's pen and ink, and there's a kitchenette, so it's too late to make a full plate of dim sum at this time, but it's still enough to fiddle with the ingredients. ”

Ge Yuening nodded and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing you." ”

"Don't be afraid, not afraid." Feng Zhirong said with a smile: "Anyway, no one cares what I like to do on weekdays, so I'm afraid that my sister will return home late and will not be able to explain to my sister's family." ”

Ge Yuening smiled: "I don't care so strict at home, my mother also told me today, asking me to play hard and don't worry about time." ”

Feng Zhirong was also a little relieved when she heard this, and said, "That's fine, but I can't delay your time more, even if I want to keep you for dinner, I'm afraid it's not etiquette." "Speaking of which, although Feng Zhirong really doesn't care what she does at home, when it comes to the basic etiquette norms of the dynasty and the way of dealing with people, the elders of the Feng family are more strict than the other.

Ge Yuening nodded, and continued to let Feng Zhirong take her to the courtyard of the Feng family's daughter.

There are always almost no people in the courtyard of the female dependents before the meal time, except for Cao Zhenpei, who is not in good health, almost all stay in the courtyard, and the rest of the Feng family's female dependents will lead the maids around to help with the dots - although Cao Zhenpei's body is much better these days, the people at home do not let her get close to the place full of oil smoke, so as to save the body that has been raised with great difficulty.

After walking into the courtyard area where the female dependents lived, Feng Zhirong instructed Yuzhu and Fang Chun behind him to take pen and ink for him, and on the other hand, he also took Ge Yuening to the small kitchen to explain.

There is only a small stove in the small kitchen of the courtyard of the female dependents, and there is also a stove similar to the island cabinet in later generations, where the female dependents can mix the materials for making tea and knead the dough to make snacks. When Feng Zhirong led Ge Yuening in, she found that Cao Xinpei was kneading the dough with a distressed expression, and there was a stack of dim sum next to her, which she had made a little more for her family to eat.

"Uncle."

Feng Zhirong called softly, she knew that Cao Xinpei was not only born weak, but also had a very gentle personality, and every time she met Cao Zhenpei, she didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of scaring her.

"Zhirong, you're here!" Cao Zhenpei was called back to his senses, and smiled at Feng Zhirong: "Zhirong, you came just in time...... Who is this young lady? ”

Ge Yuening listened to the blessing and said: "The younger Ge Yuening, my father is from the Liupin Guanglu Temple, and he is a friend of Zhirong in Anxiu Palace. ”

Cao Xinpei said with a polite smile on his face: "She is a docile and polite girl." How did Zhi Rong bring guests here? ”
