Chapter 90: Broom Star
Xie Xiuwen's eyes glanced at Xie Ronglan coldly, but he didn't speak.
No matter how scheming Xie Ronglan is, she is still just a child at this time, and she still can't help but have a cold war against the cold gaze of the second uncle.
Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure.
In other words, her skin is thick enough, so she doesn't see that the second uncle doesn't welcome her.
"Second uncle, third son, I learned to cook tea when I was in Fucheng, this game is an elegant thing, I don't understand, but if you have a cup of incense as a companion, it will definitely be the icing on the cake."
Xie Xiuwen lowered his eyes and hooked his lips and smiled a little sarcastically.
Obviously, there is not much ink in his belly, but he prefers to learn from a famous lady to speak, which is really nondescript.
Xie Rongzhao didn't hear the wit inside, he only heard that there was tea to drink, so he naturally applauded.
"It's hard work, big sister, I want to drink it too."
Xie Ronglan smiled very gently: "Of course you can, the third sister must be playful." ”
Xie Ronglan spoke to Xie Rongzhao, but the corner of her eyes glanced at Cheng Sanlang on the side, and said secretly in her heart: Such a handsome young man, with a good family background and talent, such a son can be worthy of himself!
Xie Ronglan saw that the two of them were concentrating on the game, and she stopped talking and began to make preparations carefully.
Nowadays, the Dazhi Dynasty is popular to drink tea, and it is only a matter of the past 100 years that it has really risen, and a hundred years ago, literati preferred to drink as a gift.
Xie Rongzhao is naturally also good at cooking tea, not only can she cook, she can also fry silk, but her skills in stir-frying tea are not very good.
Most people eat tea by grinding the prepared tea cakes into tea powder and then starting to cook them.
And Xie Ronglan obviously prepared in advance, she directly brought the tea powder over and poured it out of a beautiful small jar, not the freshly eaten and ground tea.
The last one is above it, and its crumbs are like fine rice, and the dust is not the end. It can be seen here that today's literati are not very acceptable to particularly fine tea powders.
Xie Ronglan uses the most popular sencha method:
Pour water into the tea kettle, put it on the stove, and then boil the water slightly, almost when the water in the kettle is like a spring, throw the prepared tea powder into the heart of the kettle, and then stir it with bamboo, and then fill the kettle surface with foam, and then mix it with salt in the bowl, and you can drink it.
Xie Rongzhao doesn't like this way of eating tea, so it's better to simply use boiling water to scald the tea leaves to get glycol.
Xie Rongzhao always felt that after such a boil, the tea would be boiled, so that the aroma would be reduced, and because of the addition of other condiments, it would lose its original taste.
But although she doesn't like to drink it very much, she likes to watch people cook tea, especially beauties cooking tea, which is really a big treat!
But in front of me, beauty cooking tea can't be talked about, mainly because Xie Ronglan is young, she has no breasts, and the baby fat on her face is still there, so she really can't be a beauty.
When Xie Ronglan cooked the tea, the game of chess was finally over.
Xie Ronglan doesn't know how to play chess, so she just puts it out, and she can't understand who wins and who loses.
Xie Rongzhao jumped directly off the stool, and then ran over to look.
"Ah, Daddy won! Daddy is so good! ”
Xie Xiuwen heard his daughter praise himself with a bowful tone, and he didn't know how good his mood was.
Xie Rongzhao was picked up by him, and then he took advantage of the situation and raised it high again.
Xie Rongzhao giggled, and Cheng Jingzhou on the side looked at her and curled the corners of his mouth.
Xie Ronglan saw that the atmosphere between the three of them was harmonious, but she couldn't blend in like an outsider, so she was naturally uncomfortable.
"Second uncle, third son, the tea is ready."
Xie Xiuwen held his daughter in his arms and strode over, followed by Cheng Jingzhou.
"Well, I'm sorry for you. Good baby, I still have something to discuss with your brother Jingzhou, you and your sister should go out first. ”
Xie Rongzhao nodded obediently, and then before going out, he deliberately winked at Cheng Jingzhou and smiled.
Xie Ronglan actually didn't want to leave, she was just cooking tea just now, and she couldn't say a word to Cheng Saburo alone.
But the second uncle spoke, and she couldn't help but leave.
Xie Ronglan held Xie Rongzhao's little hand, and her eyes rolled slightly: "Sister Zhao, it's about to be the Lantern Festival, Cheng Sanlang specially invited you to go to the county to watch the lanterns together?" ”
The Lantern Festival in Gaoyang County is mainly to enjoy the lanterns, and then to visit the lake.
Those who choose to swim in the lake are generally those rich and noble families who directly rent a whole boat, or their own family's boat, otherwise, there are some sons and young masters who go directly to pedal the flower boat.
For a child as young as Xie Rongzhao, generally speaking, it is enough to enjoy the lanterns, or to put a lotus lantern on the riverside to pray.
Xie Rongzhao had already forgotten about the lantern appreciation, "I don't know, Brother Jingzhou didn't say it." We just came over, and he was dragged by Daddy to play against him. ”
Xie Ronglan was a little disappointed, she didn't find out anything, how should she arrange it in the future?
Cheng Jingzhou didn't mention the lantern viewing to Xie Rongzhao and Xie Rongen until he left in the afternoon.
"Brother Jingzhou, let me tell you, I have a younger brother. I'll take you to get to know it in a moment. ”
At this hour, Xie Xiaowolf should be chopping wood or digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, in short, he will not sleep idle at home.
When Xie Rongzhao came out, he deliberately wrapped a few pieces of dim sum in a handkerchief, and he wanted to give Xie Xiaowolf a taste later.
Xie Rongzhao didn't explain too much, but Xie Rongen on the side helped him solve his confusion.
"So Uncle wants to succeed this little wolf brother?"
Xie Rongen shook his head: "The second uncle said that he didn't plan to succeed." The second uncle said that he was not uncommon with his son, and his daughter was just as good. Earlier, I eavesdropped on them, and my grandmother blamed the second uncle for having no successor, and the second uncle said that he could count on a few nephews in the future. ”
Cheng Jingzhou thinks this is reasonable.
Xie Xiuwen has no sons, but he has several nephews, so he will not have no one to rely on in the future.
Besides, the Xie family has not been separated, if Uncle Xie really wants to pass a son into the door, I am afraid that the other end of the long house will not agree.
Cheng Jingzhou even thought of the grandma who was eccentric to the extreme, and the first one who didn't agree was her!
After this period of feeding, Xie Xiaowolf has grown a little taller, but there is still no meat on his body, and he looks thinner, and he looks pitiful.
"Eat quickly, you can't save this, otherwise you won't be able to eat it when you get home."
Xie Xiaowolf held it in his hand, he was really reluctant to eat it.
Such a sweet snack, his cousins should have never tasted it.
He always felt that he didn't deserve to eat such a good thing.
As soon as Xie Xiaowolf raised his eyes, he met Xie Rongzhao with an expectant look, his original idea was immediately defeated, what is not worthy, anyway, he can't disappoint Sister Baobao.
"It's delicious, it's so sweet! Thank you, Sister Baby. ”
Xie Rongzhao pouted: "Don't add 'good baby'!" Call your sister directly! ”
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiaowolf didn't change his words, and first heard a sharp voice: "Hmph, you actually stole things from the house to this broom star!" ”
