The old hermit eats the coconut jelly of Ming Cheng and filial piety, slightly sweet with milky fragrance, but the taste of coconut water has not been affected at all, in the past, when he was overseas, the old hermit loved to hold the coconut and drink coconut water every summer, since he arrived in Dayan country, how many years have he not tasted the pure coconut taste? Not to mention this coconut jelly, which is even better than pure coconut water.

While eating, he couldn't help nodding, "Mingcheng, your master's cooking skills are really not blown, you have to study hard, sir, my old man is also old now, and it is estimated that it is impossible to accept a junior brother or anything for you in the future, your senior brothers and sisters are also old, all of them are like old-fashioned, sir, I don't want to see them, and it is your business to provide for the elderly in the future." ”

Although he felt that the old hermit's original intention was to let him learn Ling Xiaorou's good cooking skills and serve him with good food and drink in the future, Mingcheng still stood with his head down and said respectfully: "It is the duty of a student to be a teacher for one day and a father for life." ”

The old hermit took a mouthful of coconut jelly stuck in his throat and sighed: "Alas, my old man has been unruly all his life, how can he teach you old-fashioned disciples?" Look at your young age, this temperament is more like a soil buried in the neck than my old man. ”

Seeing that Mingcheng was still standing respectfully, he didn't say a word, and he snorted angrily digging coconut jelly and eating.

After thinking about it, he said: "Mingcheng, your master hasn't come to see my old man for a few days, what have you been busy with lately?" You turn around and tell her, if people don't come, they won't come, and my old man is not a picky person, just let her send the daily wine, and those dishes, look at the plate is quite big, but how many dishes are there? Looking at people, they didn't dare to put down their chopsticks. Also, in the future, there will be more meat and less vegetables, and Mr. will not like to eat those things with clear soup and little water. ”

Mingcheng thought of the dozen or so plates that he had just served, even if there was only one spoonful of food that could be eaten on each plate, a dozen spoonfuls were not something that ordinary people could eat, in the end, it was the child Xiaoai who told the truth, "Sir, the master said that you should not overeat when you are old, and your diet should be light, and you should eat less meat." ”

The old hermit raised the spoon in his hand and glanced at the coconut jelly in the bowl, but in the end he was reluctant to throw it away, and complained while eating, "Light food? My old man has been hard for half his life, and my mouth has been light for many years, so it's easy to ...... Hum! You go back and tell your sister, my old man doesn't want to eat and drink her for nothing, let her go outside to inquire, who invites a gentleman back to come back and offer delicious food and drink? That is, she fooled people with the plate full of carvings. ”

As soon as the old hermit's voice fell, Ling Xiaorou came in from outside, with a calm smile on her face, "Let Mr. suffer in the palace, this princess is really unhappy." It's not for my husband to accompany me here. ”

After speaking, he bowed to the old hermit Yingying, the old hermit didn't expect that Ling Xiaorou, who had not been seen for many days, would suddenly come over, and just heard him complaining behind his back, and was a little embarrassed for a while.

Ling Xiaorou didn't wait for him to speak, got up and said: "Since Mr. thinks that the palace is disadvantaged, then let's follow the rules outside, my brother's nephew also invited Mr. in front of the head, and the diet is higher than that of others, just take three meals a day, in the morning is a bowl of porridge, two plates of pastries and four side dishes, at noon is more hearty, four dishes and one soup, white rice steamed buns are enough, and in the evening it is also four dishes and one soup, but it is lighter than at noon, if you want to eat noodles and the like, it is even simpler." Other gentlemen are one meat and one vegetarian two dishes per meal, catch up with the main family in a good mood can also have two more dishes, if Mr. thinks it can, tomorrow will start, let's also change, all change the big plate, and don't learn those one meat and one vegetable, according to the specifications of my brother's four dishes and one soup, I don't know what Mr. thinks? ”

Although the old hermit complained that he was complaining to Ming Cheng, he was suddenly a little confused when Ling Xiaorou said it with a gun and a stick.

Although there are more flowers than vegetables on his plate for three meals a day, it is also a dozen dishes, and each dish is carefully made, even if those ingredients can be neatly arranged in other people's homes, it is difficult to say.

Moreover, a dozen dishes per plate is not much, but the number of real gatherings is also considerable, and it is at least enough for four people to be placed outside.

When he was younger, he also worked as a gentleman elsewhere, even the most exquisite family is just four dishes and one soup, and the food is nothing more than common meat, not to mention that the cooking taste is too bad, and the ingredients are too bad.

In case Ling Xiaorou was angry, he immediately served dishes such as sauerkraut stewed white meat, honey roasted elbows, and potato stewed chicken nuggets, even if a dish was put in a pot, it would not be worth as much as the spoonful of others, let alone taste inferior to those clear soups and little water in his mouth.

Thinking of this, the old hermit hurriedly stood up on the table, and said with a smile: "His sister, don't be angry, my old man just has a broken mouth, and he loves to talk when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't mean anything else, will we still follow the current specifications in the future?" ”

Ling Xiaorou also smiled and said, "Don't, you know that you have nothing to talk about, but this word is spread outside for others to hear, isn't it Mr. Ningyuan Wangfu?" If you want me to say, let's go according to other people's specifications. Also, sir, please call me Princess, lest this title be spread outside and cause misunderstanding. ”

That is, the old hermit is thick-skinned enough, and after Ling Xiaorou finished speaking, he could still smile unchanged, and lightly patted his face twice, "Look at my broken mouth, it should be beaten!" All the mistakes are my old man's fault, the princess has always been a large number of adults, don't worry about my old man. Besides, there are no outsiders here, how can this be spread? Don't worry about me, the princess hasn't been here for a few days, the princess must have something to do today, right? ”

Ling Xiaorou then remembered the original intention of her coming over today, looked back at the maid who was covering her mouth and smiling, and motioned for them to put the things they brought on the table, "It's not for the marriage of Feng Wu and my second uncle today, Feng Wu doesn't have any relatives in Dayan Kingdom, you are a serious family member who is a senior brother, and it will be the right day in a few days, I discussed with the concubine Although the dowry is our Zhang Luo, but the dowry always has to be given, but I am forced to suffer, everything is still simple, and I am here to give the dowry today, How much does this mean, sir, take a look, and if there is anything dissatisfied, bring it up. ”

As he spoke, he asked the maid to send the list of dowry gifts, looked at the few things on the table in front of him, and then looked at the long list, most of them must not be here.

The old hermit sighed after taking the list, "Princess, my old man also said that Feng Wu is fake, why do you insist on letting the second master marry her?" ”

Ling Xiaorou sat opposite the old hermit across a table, and the maid served tea neatly, "Don't worry about this matter, Mr., and no matter whether that Feng Wu is true or not, we just need to marry the one who enters the door is true." ”

The old hermit's eyes lit up, "The princess means ......"

Ling Xiaorou smiled, "This princess is not interesting, please Mr. read the dowry list quickly, I am still waiting to go back and talk to my mother-in-law." ”

The old hermit 'hey' responded, read the dowry list over and over again, and picked and chose to make Ling Xiaorou's head bruise, even if she married her daughter, she didn't have such trouble as him, really when she hadn't given anyone a wedding, she didn't understand anything?

In the end, according to the already rich dowry list, a dozen more things were added, and the old hermit reluctantly nodded, "I think it's like this first, there are still a few days, if there is anything unsatisfactory when I turn back, I will discuss with the princess." ”

Ling Xiaorou sneered: "Don't, it's rare for this princess to pour some work out today, Mr. will mention what he has, and it will be the right day in a few days, although it is only done in his own house, but the rules that should be there can't be bad, this princess doesn't have those efforts." ”

The old hermit picked up the tea bowl, squinted his eyes, and thought very seriously, but Ling Xiaorou put down the tea bowl in his hand and got up: "Since Mr. is tired, I will go back, and if there is anything else, Mr. will go directly to the prince to tell him." ”

The old hermit was stunned, why was he going to leave before he finished speaking? Hanging his head, he saw the tea bowl in his hand suddenly, the princess of the other family misunderstood, hurriedly put down the tea bowl, got up and said: "Don't misunderstand, the princess, my old man is just thirsty, not to send off guests, this is not finished yet, let's sit for a while?" ”

Ling Xiaorou naturally knew that he didn't want to send off guests, but she really wanted to leave, there were a lot of things in the mansion these days, not to mention that she really didn't want to see the old hermit now, but when the old hermit said this, she couldn't leave directly, so she could only sit down and continue to wait for the old hermit to have anything to say.

The old hermit hurriedly took another sip of tea, took the added list and looked up and down twice, just when Ling Xiaorou couldn't help but want to urge him to hurry up, the old hermit put down the list slowly, "His master, although there are still deficiencies in this list, I think that's it, go back to my old man's house and add a few more things, and put them into Feng Wu's dowry, and the palace doesn't have to buy a dowry for Feng Wu anymore." ”

Ling Xiaorou didn't expect that the old hermit, who had always looked extremely obscene and loved to be cheap, could have such an atmospheric side, but she was a little surprised, and she didn't even notice that he took the opportunity to take advantage of himself again.

Don't care about the old hermit's generosity, since she promised to buy a dowry for Feng Wu, she is not bad for these silvers, so as not to make the old lady feel that she is stingy, and said with a smile: "Mr. is kind, I won't thank Feng Wu for it, but I won't lose Feng Wu if I should buy it, the men of the He Lou family are not concubines, and in the next ten or twenty years, the palace will want us to support each other and take care of each other, I will also treat Feng Wu as my sister, and please rest assured that Mr. Feng Wu will marry into He Lou's family." ”

The old gentleman nodded solemnly, and then showed a lewd smile: "His sister, although the family does not speak two words, but the brother still settles the accounts, and my old man has nothing to ask for, and he ......will have three meals a day in the future."

Ling Xiaorou rolled her eyes and sneered: "Since it is already a family member, naturally it can't be according to the specifications of inviting Xixi, I will follow the food of the palace in the future, the old gentleman is old, naturally he can't be harsh, I think it will be arranged according to the concubine's food." ”
