Tang Jingling got the news from Tang Yuan and urgently convened a group meeting.

Nishimura Kowako found the Yu family's restaurant, and the little boss had agreed to compete with her. Xiao Li, you hurry up and send a press release, the wording is subtle, don't name names, but let people see at a glance. She assigned the task, "Xiao Zhang, you prepare the video and video, go to the warehouse and ask for the kind that you can carry with you, and when the time comes, we will not allow public interviews, and we will hide the video." And Xiao Wang, on Lanhai Street, you go to reveal the news in advance, spread the gossip, remember, you must not show traces. ”

"Okay, Sister Tang, I promise to complete the task!" A few people got the order and went to work separately. Tang Jingling sat on the boss's chair, turned around, and kept clicking on the desktop with a pen in his hand. She had long wanted to issue a press release to condemn the restaurant's behavior of ripping off customers and deceiving people, and this opportunity was definitely a rare opportunity.

Coupled with what Nishimura Kowako once did at Le Cordon Bleu College, Tang Jingling was even more disdainful.

She dialed Tang Yuan's phone, and the bell rang several times before it was picked up, and Tang Yuan said in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Last night, I followed Li Hanzhi and a few people to party in the villa, and I was hangover until dawn, and finally slept for a while under the hypnosis of alcohol, and was woken up again, and I was so tired that I couldn't even lose my temper.

Tang Jingling turned on the mobile phone, and he was a few steps away, and then raised his voice to Tang Yuan: "I've arranged everything, you just wait to watch the show!" Without waiting for Tang Yuan to reply, he decisively pressed the hang up button.

I'm afraid it's a second late, and the other side is going to scold again. She could guess what Tang Yuan said-

"It's just such a thing, and you still deliberately disturb people's dreams?" Tang Yuan rubbed his suddenly swollen temples, eager to beat Tang Jingling. This man always likes to disturb him while others are sleeping.

……

Yu Jian rarely went to the restaurant.

I was entangled with thoughts all night last night, and the sky was white before I gradually became sleepy, and I never thought that there was chaos in the dream again.

Thinking about Tang Yuan's words over and over again, she saw that there were not a few so-called interests first, and the dirty affairs of the court nobles were far more complicated. But food should not be used in a way that is harmful to others.

The Nishimura Kowako incident reminded her of some bad experiences. The relatives of the harem, which one is not for power and selfish interests, even Guanglu Temple is no exception.

I also planned that when I could be above everyone, I would be able to change my fate.

Just like Tang Yuan said, only by standing at the highest place can you get out of the quagmire.

"Meimei, you play at my house for a while, and my sister will come back later." Outside the door, the voice of Yu Yuan's child was heard.

Immediately after, another timid little girl spoke: "Won't it be too troublesome?" ”

Yu Yuan patted his small chest, like a man: "No trouble, no trouble, my sister is amazing, what kind of lotus seed you said, she will definitely be able to make it." ”

"Hmm!" The little girl responded, and there was a hint of sadness in her tone, "My father said that grandma may not live long, and I want to let her eat the sugar lotus seeds in her memory again before she leaves." ”

Yu Jian listened to a few words scattered, and couldn't help but wonder. Yu Yuan, this guy, is bragging outside again, and this has brought people home.

She tidied up, opened the door, and softly called, "Little Ball." ”

Yu Yuan was full of excitement, instantly smiled, turned his head and pounced on her, hugged his thigh, like a little pug, almost stuck out his tongue.

"Sister! You're at home! ”

Yu Jian scratched his nose: "I can't be at home?" ”

"No, no, I'm not particularly surprised!" Let go of Yu Jian's thighs, ran to the little girl again, took her hand and introduced, "Sister, this is my classmate Meimei in kindergarten." ”

The little girl was very restrained, and timidly called people: "Hello sister! ”

Zhang Meimei and Yu Yuan grew up together since childhood, before going to kindergarten, they played in the alley, and when they reached the age of going to school, they were packed and sent to kindergarten, but when they arrived at the class, the two were in the same class.

Because of the relationship between childhood sweethearts, Yu Yuan's children especially protect her on weekdays, if anyone dares to bully Zhang Meimei, it will be over with a fist.

Yu Yuan pulled Yu Jian's sleeve, made her lower her head, leaned into her ear and said, "Meimei wants you to cook a dish for her grandmother, don't you agree." ”

Yu Jian asked him in the same deep voice, "Why do I have to agree?" ”

"Oops...... Sister, my good sister, I told Meimei that you can't let me lose face! Yu Yuan hugged her arm and pleaded.

Yu Jian glanced at the little girl's worried expression, met Yu Quanquan's eyes in anticipation, pursed her lips, her eyes were crooked, and she took the opportunity to scratch the little guy's nose again, and then said, "Okay, I'll reluctantly agree." ”

Zhang Meimei's grandmother wants to eat sugar lotus seeds. It just so happened that in order to cope with the challenge of Nishimura Kowako, she prepared a lot of lotus flowers and lotus pods at home. The lotus pod was sent by Tang Yuan, saying that it was picked from Lao Wu, and the rhizome was still dripping with undried lake water.

Yu Jian arranged for two little guys to peel lotus seeds together, Yu Yuan's children finally peeled two, and they cried out with a sad face, but it was Zhang Meimei's children, whose fingertips were red, and gritted her teeth and continued to take one, silently took out the lotus seeds and put them on the plate.

After all the lotus seeds were peeled out, Yu Jian peeled them one by one and then removed their clothes. The lotus heart tastes bitter, and the core must be removed. Clean the cleaned lotus seeds, drain them in a cool place and let them dry.

Sugar lotus seeds should be fried slowly in a casserole, first put a thick layer of granulated sugar, add a bowl of cool white boiling, stir and boil over medium heat, wait for the boiled sugar water to turn into small bubbles, and then turn to the big bubbles, turn off the heat and stir quickly until milky white. At this time, put in the lotus seeds, stir and toss, so that each lotus seed is evenly coated with a layer of syrup.

"Meimei, do you need my sister to make you a pot of tea?" Lotus seeds are a refreshment, and only by brewing a pot of slightly bitter green tea can you taste the glutinous sweetness of lotus seeds.

Zhang Meimei raised her face in surprise: "Is it okay?" ”

The courtyard of the Zhang family is five or six meters away from Yu Jian's house. Yu Jian wrapped the fried lotus seeds in fresh lotus leaves and went home with her in an old-fashioned teapot.

When the gatehouse opened, Zhang Meimei couldn't wait to run into a room in the corner, and muttered: "Grandma, I'll bring you sugar lotus seeds back!" ”

The old man's cloudy pupils twirled and shifted out of focus to where she had spoken, struggling to sit up from the bed. Zhang Meimei skillfully took a pillow for her, and helped her to lean up slowly, then ran back to the yard and smiled apologetically at Yu Jian: "My grandmother is not in good health...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive this winter,

The lotus leaf bag slowly opened, the tip of the old man's nose twitched slightly, and a deep sweet fragrance invaded the tip of her nose. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and under the guidance of Zhang Meimei, she touched the edge of the lotus leaf, and slowly touched the green and delicate leaf with her fingertips.

"Lotus leaf ......?" She asked softly, as if a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and then touched the lotus seed inside, pinched one, and put it in her mouth with a shaking hand.

The glutinous aroma of fresh lotus seeds accompanied by the sweetness of sugar suddenly poured into his mouth, and the old man used saliva to sip the taste of lotus seeds little by little.

After a while, I finally swallowed slowly. Zhang Meimei immediately served a cup of warm tea, and the old man took another sip.

The bitterness of tea, the fragrance of lotus seeds, and the sweetness of sugar, this seems to be her life, she was originally a young lady from a large family, but she lost her lover in the war, and she grew up with several children alone. In the difficult life, she has already smoothed out all the edges and corners, but when she is dying, she wants to be a delicate lady in the boudoir again.

Try the ever-favorite sugar lotus seeds again......
