Chapter 21: Hungry for You (1)
It was a scent he had never smelled before, and he couldn't tell what it was, but it was very seductive.
I didn't eat at night, and I could have endured it, and I was going to wait until the masters rested to get some dry food to deal with it, but when I smelled this seductive fragrance at this time, almost the next second, his stomach screamed with "grunt".
The small kitchen is upwind, and the night wind is quite strong tonight, constantly sending the smell here, and I can't even hide it.
Having an empty stomach and smelling the smell of food that makes people salivate is simply the most cruel punishment.
The more I came to see the small kitchen window, there were constantly figures walking, and my eyes were looking straight in that direction, wishing that a pair of eyeballs could be stretched, and I went in to see what the third grandmother was doing with her subordinates.
He Changdi was reading in the study, because in early summer, the night was a little hot, so the windows of the study were ajar.
He was originally immersed in the book, but at some point a very special fragrance wafted in from the window, the fragrance was strange and attractive, and He Saburo, who boasted that he had tasted most of the delicious food of the Great Wu Dynasty, had never smelled what kind of dish this smell came from.
The smell is not strong when it comes to the study, but it is this kind of fragrance that is more likely to provoke people.
He Changdi took a deep breath, turned his head and glanced at the two food boxes still on the desk, thinking about whether he wanted to eat more, but when he thought of the dishes in the food boxes, he lost his appetite at all.
Forget it, let's bear with it!
He Saburo refocused his attention on the book, forcing himself to concentrate.
On the other side, Chu Lian led the maids to walk towards the flower hall with the food box, and happened to pass by the study, and Lai Yue's eyes stared at the food box in Xiyan's hand without blinking, and he almost swallowed his saliva.
Xi Yan was angry at the thought that she had just come to ask about Laiyue, and immediately rolled her eyes at Laiyue, and then raised her head and rubbed past him proudly.
When the third grandmother walked by with the maid, she could obviously smell the fragrance of the food, and she was more and more hungry.
But at this time, it's not good to ask the third grandmother, isn't he still helping the third young master guard the door of the study!
Chu Lian asked the maids to put the dishes on the table in the flower hall.
I saw a large plate of braised pork with a rich fragrance that was cut into boxy pieces, a kung pao chicken, a sweet and sour shredded cabbage, and a simple egg soup.
Xiyan filled Chu Lian with another bowl of japonica rice.
As soon as this dish is laid out in the flower hall, the whole flower hall is filled with a rich fragrance.
Mama Gui and a few big girls didn't eat, Chu Lian sat on the main seat, glanced at a few girls staring at the table and couldn't help swallowing, and smiled, "You're all hungry, sit down and eat together." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Mama Gui stopped and said: "Third grandmother, we are now in Jing'an Bo Mansion, you are the new bride, how can you not have dignity, how can the master eat with the slaves and maids, if it is spread out, what will others say." ”
Chu Lian was helpless, and he also understood that what Mama Gui said was right, look at Mama Gui is also greedy for this meal, not still motionless.
"Okay, then I'll eat first, I've made a lot of everything, I'll finish eating, and you can stay in the flower hall and eat." ”
Mama Gui nodded, this time there was no obstruction.
In fact, she also coveted this meal that she had never seen before, when she was just in the small kitchen, the braised pork was ready, and the third grandmother let each of them taste it, it was really delicious and tight, not worse than the roasted venison!
I thought that the dish made of this white pork must be greasy and difficult to eat, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious.
Mama Gui is an old grandmother in the British Mansion, and she used to serve by Chu Lian's biological mother's side, she is well-informed and has a lot of self-control, but after eating this braised pork, she couldn't hold back her appetite.
Chu Lian held a bowl of rice and ate the dishes in front of her, although because of the lack of many ingredients, these dishes tasted worse than those made in modern times, but being able to eat such a meal in the Dawu Dynasty was enough to make her happy.
Coming here inexplicably and skillfully, this is the first time to eat smoothly.
However, Chu Lian was not surprised to be accustomed to eating such meals, as usual, with a bowl of rice, her stomach was eighty percent full.
When Chu Lian was eating, Mama Gui hesitated for a moment, but still suggested, "Third Grandma, why don't you call the Third Young Master to eat together?"
Chu Lian raised his head in confusion, opened a pair of bright big eyes, as if he really didn't understand what Mama Gui meant, and said strangely: "Didn't he eat in the study? Besides, it's not good to eat too much at night. ”
said this, as if she was thinking more about He Saburo.
Chu Lian pursed his lips and thought to himself, if you don't let me eat, I'm not rare, so don't eat what I made.
A small bowl of milky egg soup was served with a soup spoon, and after drinking it beautifully, Chu Lian was full.
There are still a lot of three dishes and one soup left, because I originally wanted to bring a few maids to eat, and I deliberately made more, how much can Chu Lian eat by himself, the amount of food is the amount of cat food, and the sweet and sour cabbage shreds didn't move much when they looked at it.
Chu Lian was afraid that if she was there, Mama Gui and a few girls would be restrained, so she went into the bedroom and lay down after eating.
Seeing that Chu Lian was not there, a few geese were really much more comfortable, they looked at each other, laughed a few times, and then sat down to eat with their own bowls, and Mama Gui naturally sat down too.
As soon as Fu Yan Jingyan took the first bite, his eyes lit up, and then the chopsticks stretched out into each bowl much faster.
Jing Yan stuffed her mouthful of rice, and she didn't have the reserve of a big girl from a big family at all, "Sister Xiyan, you made this meat? How can it be so fragrant and delicious! I have never eaten such delicious meat!"
The corners of Xi Yan's mouth raised, "Actually, I didn't do it, it was taught by the third grandmother!"
Mama Gui nodded, "You all serve the third grandmother well, maybe when the third grandmother is happy, she will teach you a few secret recipes, and you don't even have to worry about the livelihood of your juniors in the future." ”
Fu Yan's eyes flashed in the dark.
Although the dishes are very rich on each plate, they are also eaten by Mama Gui and the four big girls.
The five of them all clutched their stomachs and shouted to hold on, but none of them said they regretted it.
Ming Yan stood up from the table, and exaggerated his stomach, which provoked Fu Yan and Xi Yan to make fun of him.
"Look at what you eat, be careful that it's broken!" Mama Gui deliberately scared Ming Yan with a straight face.
Ming Yan was not convinced, "Mama, it's so delicious, I couldn't hold back when I was greedy." ”
Mama Gui looked at a few dishes, and there were only a few pieces of braised pork and some soup left, and said to Xi Yan: "Xi Yan, send the rest of this plate to the small kitchen, and it can be used to make rice tomorrow." ”
The dishes made by the secret recipe that the third grandmother said were so delicious that it was a pity for Mama Gui to waste a little minced meat soup.
