"The servant obeyed. ”

Red Bean hurriedly went down with the orange in his hand.

After about half an hour, the red beans went and returned, bringing back many small cups. Placing the cups in front of the crowd one by one, she bowed and withdrew.

Mu Jiaojiao took the lead in uncovering the small cup, revealing the steamed oranges inside, and made a gesture to everyone: "The thing is ready, please use it!"

Is it just a steamed orange? It's ridiculous!

Mrs. Xue sneered on the spot. "Steamed oranges, we really haven't eaten this stuff yet. Mrs. Cui Liu's young lady really has a unique taste, and we want to experience what it is like to experience the things that the richest man in Chang'an likes today. ”

It's sour and nothing good to say.

Mu Jiaojiao didn't bother to pay attention to her, and immediately opened the lid of the orange, and immediately a rich fragrance mixed with the unique fresh fragrance of oranges diffused, hooking everyone's noses at once.

Only then did everyone realize that the orange in the small cup in front of them was not a whole orange, but a lid was cut out in a zigzag shape at the top. When the lid was lifted, it was filled with many small pieces of white and tender things. Wrapped in orange peel, it looks crystal white, and the fragrance becomes more and more attractive.

Look over there, Red Bean offers a small silver spoon in both hands. Mu Jiaojiao took it, scooped a spoonful of food from the orange and put it in his mouth.

It turns out that this thing is eaten like this.

Others will understand, and they will follow suit.

With a small spoonful of food, the princess was the first to exclaim: "What a delicious and fragrant food!" It has both the sweet and sour fragrance of oranges and the delicious taste of crab meat. I'll try it again...... And the sweetness of the horseshoe, what else? I can't taste it, but it's delicious. It's the first time I've eaten hot food made from oranges. What's the name of this dish? I've never heard of it before?"

"It's called crab stuffed orange. At the beginning, I was not feeling well and had no intention of eating, but I couldn't persuade this girl, so I had to study for a long time before I came up with this dish. With this dish, I can indeed eat half a bowl of rice. Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

The princess bowed her head again and again. "The girl trained by Mrs. Cui Liushao is really dexterous. I finally realized the taste of His Majesty Zhongzong's heart back then-after eating this, many dishes in front of me suddenly felt tasteless. I'd rather go three days and three nights without eating for three days and three nights, letting the fragrance linger between my lips and teeth, rather than having something else spoil the taste. ”

The princess said so, and this dish was fresh and delicious, although Mrs. Xue was still a little unwilling in her heart, she had to Nunu mouth: "This girl's craftsmanship is really good, Mrs. Cui Liu, you are really blessed." ”

The credit for this dish is all on the red bean head, as if it has nothing to do with Mu Jiaojiao.

Fang Cai's purpose had been achieved, and now Mu Jiaojiao was too lazy to waste her lips and tongue with her, so she smiled slightly and didn't speak.

The person who provoked the incident before also smiled lightly, dug a little food with a small silver spoon and tasted it, and then said, "It really tastes good." Be rewarded for being able to offer such delicious food!"

So he plucked out a golden hairpin from his head and put it on the table.

This person is much more connotative than Mrs. Xue. I don't know if the person who offered the delicacy was Mu Jiaojiao or red beans, and who was the person she rewarded with a golden hairpin?

Is this golden hairpin a metaphor for Mu Jiaojiao's nouveau riche background, so he is only worthy of these yellow and white things?

None of the people present were stupid. Hearing this, their eyes rolled, and they all looked towards Mu Jiaojiao, and many people had a bit of teasing in their eyes.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled, immobile as a mountain.

Hongdou hurriedly jumped up, and happily came to this person and bowed: "Thank you for the lady's reward!" and happily accepted the golden hairpin.

Then she turned around and stared at Xue.

Xue's heart jumped violently when he saw it. Helplessly, she also took off a gold bracelet on her wrist and threw it over there: "Reward you!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Xue! Mrs. Xue is kind and generous-minded. Our lady is right, you are so merciful, the maid is so kind when she sees you!"

Who wants you to feel kind? I don't want to be kind to you, a! Xue said secretly in his heart, hating and hating.

However, after saying this, Hongdou didn't put her mind on her at all, and quickly turned to the next house.

Since there are already people who take the lead in rewarding things, others can't help but express themselves. So after a circle, Hongdou's hands were full of things, and the whole person smiled and squinted.

When she returned to Mu Jiaojiao's side, she specially held the things to her: "Lady, look, there are so many good things here!

"This is the love of these ladies and ladies for you, you must not live up to their expectations of you, and you must study more carefully to produce more delicious food in the future. "Mu Jiaojiao is a serious way.

Red Bean also nodded solemnly. "What the lady said is that the maid remembers, and the maid must live up to the high expectations of the ladies and ladies of you!"

But she didn't say who would eat what she had studied.

The big guys suddenly felt like they had more cat's paws, and they were so uncomfortable that they wanted to stand up and scream - if they made a new discovery, remember to tell them!

It's just that out of the reserve of noble women, they can only suppress this desire in their hearts.

The princess and Mu Jiaojiao were more familiar, and just now she also made an exception and rewarded a jade pendant to the red bean. Now she smiled and said, "I'll talk about it later." But for now, you'll have to give me this crab stuffed orange recipe. Now that I've eaten this thing today, if I can't eat it again in the future, how can you tell me to live?"

"It's easy. Isn't the red bean just made right here? Presumably your cook watched the whole process, and how smart they are, they must have already written down the recipe. If you miss one or two steps, it doesn't matter, I'll ask Hongdou to write a recipe and send it to your palace. Mu Jiaojiao said cheerfully.

"Young lady Cui Liu, this is biased! Today, everyone is gathering together, and they have tasted such delicious food together, but why do you only give the recipe to the princess and not give it to us? Aren't you worried that we won't know the taste of meat in March?" A lady of the Hongnong Yang clan immediately shouted.

She spoke, and the others cried out. Only Mrs. Xue and the person who caused the trouble did not speak.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded again and again. "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll copy a few copies of the recipe and send one to your family, okay?"

"If you can, you can also include some new recipes. A little lady said crisply.

"Okay, as long as you don't dislike it. Mu Jiaojiao agreed again.

When everyone heard this, they immediately had a good impression of Mu Jiaojiao in their hearts.

Seeing this, the person who provoked the trouble couldn't help laughing and said, "Young Mrs. Cui Liu, don't forget that there is still my family!"

"No problem. Whoever asked for the recipe just now, the red beans all remember it, and none of us will miss it when we go back. Mu Jiaojiao replied.

In other words, they won't give it if they don't want it.

Mrs. Xue's face changed when she heard this. But out of her insistence on her own position, she did not give in to Mu Jiaojiao after all.

After such a lively scene, with the fragrant crab stuffed orange in the stomach, the red sun of the New Tang Empire finally set on the horizon today, covered by the colorful clouds in the sky.

Everyone has seen enough of the scenery, eaten enough, and it is not too early. They all went down to the attic, said goodbye to each other, and each boarded the carriage and left.

Before leaving, the princess took Mu Jiaojiao's hand, her face full of guilt. "Today's ......"

"It doesn't matter. Since I have chosen to go to the banquet, it must have been prepared, you have already shown me the list of participants, and you have done the best you can do. I have always remembered your kindness to me, and now I can only repay it with a few recipes. Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

The princess was immediately amused by her. "Since it's a reward, then you have to be careful. If the product is not as delicious as today's crab stuffed orange, I won't follow it!"

"You can rest assured about this. I may not dare to boast about anything else, but when it comes to food, what I give you will definitely not disappoint!" Mu Jiaojiao determined.

"That's just waiting!" the princess smiled, and personally escorted her into the car, before turning around and leaving in the car.

When the carriage of the Wei Mansion passed by the carriage of the Xue Mansion, the princess saw Mrs. Xue who was sulking in the car through the window, shook her head, and sighed.

Cui Shi Niang is extremely excited now.

"Sister-in-law, you're so amazing! When that martial lady said that kind of thing just now, I really sweated for you. It's a pity that I'm stupid and want to help you, but I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to cook myself, and I don't have any other skills, so I really feel useless when I think about it. In the end, she flattened her mouth and became depressed again.

Mu Jiaojiao's face was slightly gloomy. "Do you think I'm very capable?"

"Yes!" the fifteenth lady nodded repeatedly.

"Then tell me, what am I capable of?"

"Sister-in-law, your medical skills are very good......!

"And what?"

"What's more, the red beans are delicious!"

"What red beans make can also be regarded as my ability?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled. "Okay, even if this one is one, what about it?"

"And ......" The fifteenth lady racked her brains and thought for a long time, and finally stammered, "Sister-in-law, you are smart and bold, and you don't have stage fright when you encounter anything!"

"You stupid girl, how can I be bold, I am confident!" Mu Jiaojiao shook her head.

"Confidence?" the fifteenth lady repeated the word in a low voice.

Mu Jiaojiao's head was bright. "That's it. This is the capital that I have the courage to fight with them today. Otherwise, do you think I have anything that can beat them? Medical skills? Does this thing come in handy today? Crab stuffed oranges are also made of red beans. I also admitted before that I am not good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. Speaking of which, I'm afraid you'll have more things than I do. ”

"So, it seems to be the same. Fifteen ladies nodded.

"It's not like, it's just that. Mu Jiaojiao said, "No, no, we have nothing to hide, and this is not a shameful thing." Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, cooking tea and wine, playing the piano and blowing the flute, if you really want to compete with others, then there are too many things to learn. But what are we going to do with so many things? We don't go out to be officials, and we don't make a living from them. The one who is really proficient in everything is the Oiran lady in Heikangfang!"
