Chapter 51: The Charm of Dim Sum
The long comment of the girl is more!)
Thinking of the shameless dead face Yushi who ate Shou Tao and joined him today, he was not happy.
Everything is not going well today, is it because I didn't eat longevity peaches yesterday?
Lord Yang coughed lightly, "Let's send it to the flower hall, I'll bring it to Madame when I go to the backyard in a while." ”
Lord Yang didn't like the Nalaoshizi sencha either, so Chang Sui poured a cup of warm water and sat in the flower hall to rest, his stomach was hollow, and Lord Yang's eyes fell on the brocade box beside him, and he reached out to open the brocade box.
When he saw the food inside, a pair of shrewd eyes that were often squinting instantly widened.
I saw that the small blue delicate bamboo basket contained only eight snacks of different shapes, and the red half-open peony flowers next to it attracted people's attention.
Smell it slightly, there is a faint floral fragrance mixed with the crispy aroma of the snack.
Lord Yang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, picked up a bat-shaped look and looked at it, and then took a bite gently, well, there was actually a filling, with raisins added to it, refreshing and crispy, sweet but not greasy, delicious!
Lord Yang couldn't help but reach out and take the second piece, peach-shaped, huh? This is the taste of red dates, fresh and sweet, and there is a good smell of jujube fragrance in the mouth after eating.
The third piece, bergamot-shaped, with a faint rose fragrance, is not greasy, and the taste is light and elegant, well, this flavor is his favorite.
......
When Lord Yang came back to his senses, he found a small box of dim sum, only two pieces left, and the hand that reached into it finally retracted in embarrassment.
The eyes of Chang Sui next to him twitched, and he thought, my lord, this is a return gift from the Jing'an Bo Mansion to Mrs., and it will all go into your stomach in a while......
"Ahem, hold it, go to the backyard to find Mrs. Lord Yang coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and said to Chang casually.
On the way to the backyard, Lord Yang was still complaining in his heart.
This Jing'anbo Mansion is too petty, and the return gift of a dim sum is so stingy, there are eight in a box, the taste is not the same, and it is so small, he will be gone in two bites of a dim sum, and he will not eat the second one.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Yang was talking to her daughter-in-law, turned her head to see her husband, and stood up with a smile to greet her, "Master, why did you come back earlier than usual today?" Seeing the brocade box that Chang was holding in his hand, he smiled even more, "Why, did you bring me a gift today?"
Lord Yang's face was momentarily embarrassed, "This is a thank you gift from Jing'anbo Mansion." ”
Chang hurriedly put the brocade box on the table and retreated.
Mrs. Yang raised her eyebrows, thinking of the girl she saw at the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and walked to the table without caring about Lord Yang's face.
"What is the thank you gift from Jing'anbo Mansion? But I want to take my daughter-in-law to see it. "At the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Dingyuan that day, Mrs. Yang's eldest daughter-in-law was not present, and she also came over when she heard the words.
Where could Lord Yang stop him, so he had to pretend to sit on the side as if nothing happened.
Mrs. Yang opened the brocade box and saw that there were only two pieces of dim sum that had been specially plated and lay on it......
She looked at Lord Yang in surprise, "This ......"
Fang Cai was hungry and ate two pieces at random. Lord Yang explained stiffly.
With such a large area vacated, are you sure you only ate two pieces?
Mrs. Yang twitched the corner of her mouth and closed the brocade box.
The eldest daughter-in-law was stunned and saw the situation in the brocade box, and closed her mouth with interest, "Father is back, daughter-in-law go to the big kitchen to take a look, and add a few dishes that father likes to eat." ”
After her daughter-in-law left, Mrs. Yang's laughter finally couldn't be held back, and she laughed out loud, "This is sent by the third grandmother of Jing'an Bo Mansion?"
Lord Yang pretended to be casual, drank tea and nodded.
"Then I can't blame you, the things that girl made are really delicious. As he spoke, he opened the brocade box, pinched up a piece of dim sum, and when he tasted it, his eyes lit up instantly, "This girl, what is the name of this dim sum this time, it is more suitable for my appetite than that shou peach, well, it is actually salty." ”
Lord Yang licked his lips, is it salty? It's a pity, he hasn't eaten it yet.
"There are only eight dim sum on this plate, and it seems that each one tastes different. ”
Mrs. Yang was shocked, there was such a delicate dim sum?
Hurriedly ate the last remaining one, sure enough, it tasted different from the previous one, and after eating, I picked up a smaller brocade box next to it and opened it, and saw her coral bracelet lying under the silk satin inside, the corners of Mrs. Yang's mouth rose, "It seems that this girl from the British Mansion is not only easy to give birth to." "Finally got some brains!
Mrs. Yang immediately wrote a reply and asked the family's right-hand man to send it to Jing'anbo Mansion.
Since Lord Yang ate the eight pieces of Jing sent by Chu Lian, he fell in love with the rose-flavored dim sum, and instructed the housekeeper at home to let the cook make a lot of it, but none of them tasted like the one sent by Chu Lian that day, so that Lord Yang didn't know the taste and gave birth to several catties of meat, but this is all the words of the foodie Lord Yang.
The same return gift was also sent to the palace of the king of Wei.
Lord Duanjia couldn't wait to open the brocade box, and saw the dim sum inside with a pair of big eyes, and carefully held it in his courtyard to enjoy it alone, and even the second brother who came to visit the door was greedy, and she didn't give one. looks like a puppy cub who protects the food of the puppy, and the king of the small county of the Wei Wangfu can't do it.
immediately went to Princess Wei and began to complain, "Mother, the third sister doesn't know what good food she can get, and she won't let me taste it if she is stingy!"
"Oh, and this?" Princess Wei raised her eyebrows, Duanjia County Lord is a little lonely, there are few things that can provoke her heart on weekdays, I didn't expect to eat for the same thing, it's really interesting.
As the mother and son spoke, the county lord of Duanjia came in, "Second brother, you are so old, and you are still suing me in front of your mother!"
The little prince sat down beside Princess Wei, "It's not that I want to know what delicious food has hooked my precious sister's soul." ”
The county lord of Duanjia glared at the little county king and walked to Princess Wei's side, "Mother, I will invite someone to come to the mansion in a few days." ”
Princess Wei sat on the main seat, dignified and luxurious, with a faint smile on her lips, "But the person who gave you snacks?"
Lord Duanjia smiled mysteriously, "Don't tell the concubine first, when she comes, the concubine will know." ”
Princess Wei lovingly stretched out her hand and tapped the only daughter's head, "Who are you dealing with, the mother concubine will not stop you, but you have to remember your identity." ”
Jing'anbo Mansion, it was not yet the time for dinner in the evening, and the big housekeeper in the front yard ordered the mother-in-law to send two posts. One of them also comes with a gift.
Chu Lian took the post and looked at the content.
One is Mrs. Yang's, and the other is actually Duanjia's.
Mrs. Yang sent the coral bracelet back, saying that it was given to her, how could she take it back, let her keep it well, and if she had the opportunity to meet in the future, she might as well make a few more snacks to honor her.
Although Mrs. Yang never mentioned the dealings, this was already a big face for Chu Lian, which was a good fate.
What made Chu Lian the most strange was the post of the county lord of Duanjia.
The county lord of Duanjia actually invited her to the Wei Wangfu for a small gathering.
Chu Lian remembered that the county lord of Duanjia in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion had some strange affection for her, and frowned slightly, in the original text, the county lord of Duanjia was only mentioned a few times, and she didn't even make an official appearance, she didn't know anything about the county lord of Duanjia or even the Wei Wangfu.
But since it's an invitation from the county lord, and it's an official post, if you refuse, you don't know what to do.
In Shengjing City, I don't know how many noble girls want to climb to the Duanjia County Lord, but they don't have such a good chance, not to mention, Chu Lian has no ill feelings towards this Duanjia County Lord.
After receiving the post of the county lord of Duanjia, Mama Gui and Mama Zhong next to her were also happy.
The county lord of Duanjia has always been used to being alone in Shengjing City, at most he occasionally interacts with those clan girls, but he has never heard of a serious handkerchief, and the king of Wei has to give a little face even if he is an important minister in the cabinet, if Chu Lian can really communicate with the county lord of Duanjia, then the entire Jing'an Bo Mansion will also be looked down upon.
In the evening, Chu Lian went to Qinghui Hall for dinner, and as soon as he arrived at the door of Qinghui Hall, he heard a burst of laughter coming from inside.
Chu Lian walked in curiously, and Mrs. He beckoned to her, "San Lang's daughter-in-law, come here, I'm still talking about you just now!"
Except for the two little ladies in the house, Chu Lian was the smallest, and she bowed to the elders in a regular manner, and was pulled by the old lady to sit on the soft stool under her.
"Grandmother, what did you say about your granddaughter-in-law?" she opened her eyes with a curious look on her face, and she made Mrs. He laugh.
"Your eldest brother is saying that you made the longevity peach in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion that day! Grandmother also tasted it today, and it is really delicious!"
Chu Lian replied with a smile, "Grandmother likes it, and when my grandmother is born, I will make some fresh peaches to honor my grandmother." ”
"Look, that longevity peach is not the best, there are still fresh tricks!"
Suddenly everyone in the flower hall laughed, Chu Lian turned his gaze, and suddenly found that the depths of Zou's eyes were a little dark, and he hurriedly closed his mouth, "The second brother also came back early today, I heard that there is venison at today's family banquet, but my granddaughter-in-law can't wait!"
Chu Lian diverted the topic, and then went to look at her sister-in-law Zou, and found that her face had improved.
But He Changqi wanted to add fuel to the fire again, "Third brother and sister, since you can make those exquisite dim sum, I don't know if you can make this venison?"
Chu Lian secretly screamed in his heart that it was bad, the Zou family was already a little worried about her, and the eldest brother wanted to add to the fire.
"Venison is rare, and my brother and sister don't have a secret recipe for making venison. ”
Chu Lian's words fell, and the disappointment on He Changqi's face could be clearly found.
Later, the family ate around the table together, Chu Lian didn't want his sister-in-law to worry about it, so he didn't say much after the meal, except for a few words back to the old lady.
When he returned to Songtao Garden from Qinghui Hall, Chu Lian patted his chest without any image.
It's really scared of her, it's not that good, it's just a few snacks, which made my sister-in-law jealous, and it seems that it is not so simple to shrink into the backyard and be a carefree rice worm.
Today, Mrs. Yang returned the coral bracelet and the invitation of the county lord of Duanjia has not been said in front of everyone, I don't know if the sister-in-law Zou knows, how she will think crookedly.
Thinking about it like this, Chu Lian immediately planned to go to Qingyun Hall tomorrow to talk about it to the old lady alone.
The day that the county lord of Duanjia asked her to be twenty-six, and there were still two days to prepare, but there was no hurry.
