Xue Ying poured the cooked water from the marmalade into the jar and put it in an ice bucket to chill.It won't be long before the cooked water is ready to drink.Li Jia is naturally the first to try, the cold cooked water relieves the heat as soon as it enters the mouth, and there is a faint fragrance of orange leaves, honey and oranges are mixed together, sweet and sour, and can promote people's appetite.Within a few moments, she had finished the bowl of cooked water.This familiar and natural taste reminded Xue Ying of the life of a teenager again, there are many citrus fruits in Shuzhong, and they are all over the mountains in autumn, and the price is far lower than that of Bianjing, which is a gift for ordinary people.Every late autumn, Xue Ying would make marmalade and take it out to make cooked water in the summer of the following year.At that time, my mother had passed away, and in order to subsidize the family, my father would go to the stall every day to buy calligraphy and paintings, even in the hot summer.Xue Ying felt sorry for her father and insisted on sending him cooked water every day to relieve the heat.At that time, the family was in the middle of the road, and the Xue family could not afford ice in the summer, so Xue Ying put the cooked water into a clay pot, hoisted it into a deep well at home, and took it out to send it to his father in the afternoon of the next day.The cooked water is sweet and delicious, with the slightest coolness of the deep well, Daddy has set up a stall all morning, it is already sweaty and heavy, a glass of cooked water is drunk, and there is a smile on his face.It was a rare touch of color in her childhood memory, and more than ten years have passed, but she has never forgotten the taste of that bowl of cooked water.It's just that Li Jia's words completely pulled Xue Ying out of his memories: "Xue Niangzi, the eldest brother also loves to eat clips, you can make him a plate and send it." ”Xue Ying's heart trembled, and she raised her eyes to look at Wang Niangzi.Who knew that Wang Niangzi reacted faster than her, and said busily: "I suddenly remembered that the sea bass I bought yesterday should have arrived, and I will go to Ermen to pick up the goods." ”After that, he turned around and left.Li Jia's eyes turned to her, and Xue Ying complained about Wang Niangzi countless times in her heart, so she had to go out to deliver the food herself.Surprisingly, Li Wei was not in the room, looking for Zheng Liang, he told Xue Ying that Li Wei had been busy recently, and he wanted to go to the study to write and check official documents.Xue Ying had no choice but to carry the food box and go to the study again, but there was no one there, so she simply looked around curiously.Obviously, Li Wei is a lover of books, the cabinet behind the bookcase is full of books, there are many serious official histories that have been repeatedly corrected, there are poetry collections of previous celebrities, and many old paintings of the Tang Dynasty, she was about to pull out a volume to read, suddenly found a thin booklet in the corner of one side, and couldn't help but be curious to take it to view.It was a handwritten book of poems, with handwriting similar to Levi's, but a little immature, apparently written when he was a teenager.The first poem at the beginning of "Yonghua Mountain": "There is only the sky above, and there is no mountain and Qi."
Raise your head to the red sun and look back at the white clouds low. ”There is also a small note next to it: he was eight years old.Xue Ying couldn't help pouting, it was indeed rare to be able to write such a poem at the age of eight.It's just that his breath is too loud, and he feels too good about himself.And the self-note next to this, is it waiting for everyone to praise him as a prodigy?
Xue Ying shook her head and continued to flip down, and saw a five-character quatrain: "It rains in the autumn night of Changmen, and the cold sound drips outside the window."
If you regret not resigning first, you should have no other hatred. ”There is also a small note next to it: he was twelve years old.Hey, the first poem is still domineering, why did this one suddenly become feminine.However, it is not too impressive.Also, at that time, Levi was a half-grown child after all, and he knew what love and hate were.Thinking of this, the corners of Xue Ying's mouth couldn't help but curl.Just when Xue Ying was thinking about something wrong here, a light cough suddenly came from behind, she turned her head in fright, and Li Wei was frowning at her behind her: "What are you doing here?"
”Xue Ying hurriedly put the food box on the bookcase and explained: "The little lady said that Ah Lang hasn't had lunch yet, so let the maid send some lotus root clips, and there is no one in your room, so I found the study." ”Levi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you recognize words?"
”"When I was a child, I had to be instructed by my father, and I read books for a few years, and I couldn't get into the hall of elegance.""
Oh."
Levi glanced at the book in her hand and asked casually, "What do you think of the poems here?"
”Xue Ying chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly began to pat herself on the back: "The maid really didn't expect that Ah Lang would be able to write at a young age, and he was really brilliant and amazing, and he was not far behind Liu Tinglin." ”Xue Ying felt that he had said good things about this car, and Li Wei should be satisfied, but who knew that he sneered and said, "You compare me to Liu Tinglin?"
The words he makes are only liked by you little ladies, beautiful and dense, with the wind among flowers, and less robustness, I have always looked down on it. ”Even Liu Tinglin can't look down on it, which shows that this person is extremely conceited.Xue Ying suddenly felt a sense of injustice in her heart, and she couldn't suppress it a few times, so she simply raised her voice and said: "Ah Lang's words are not appropriate, and Liu Tinglin's words are not only full of the wind and the moon, and Qin Li's secret work. ”"Oh?"
Li Wei was a little interested at this time, and asked lightly: "How can you see it?"
”"The gradual frost and wind are tight, the Guan River is cold, and the remnants are still in the building.This is what Liu Tinglin did after being demoted to Luzhou in middle age, the realm is lofty and majestic, and the meaning of the words is vast and vast, even if it is placed in Tang poetry, it is not inferior.Although Ah Lang became famous at a young age and has a talent of seven steps, he can't look down on the world's corporals. ”As soon as Xue Ying's words came out, he glanced at Li Wei's face like facial paralysis, and suddenly his heart tightened, and he secretly regretted that he still couldn't hold back his mouth this time, and hurriedly said: "The maid doesn't understand poetry and nonsense, Ah Lang, don't be surprised."
I still have to go to prepare dinner, and if Ah Lang has no other instructions, the servant will go first. ”After saying that, he left in a hurry.Looking at Xue Ying, who was fleeing in the wilderness, Li Wei suddenly felt like a punch hitting the cotton, and thought with some indignation: But in the woman's opinion, that Liu Tinglin is at most ......
Occasionally, there are masterpieces.At this time, I was hungry again, and after enduring and enduring it, I finally opened the food box on the table.A burst of aroma ran out of the box, and it was actually the lotus root clip that I loved to eat since I was a child, so ......
It's good to eat a little.Levi picked up a piece of clip with his chopsticks and took a bite, it was crispy and fragrant, but not dry at all, he felt the tender lotus root crack in his mouth, with the elastic and juicy filling, plus the fragrant and numb flour, it was really delicious.In the blink of an eye, a clip was finished.Why are you still hungry, Levi hesitated for a moment, then......
Eat one more slice.Soon, half of the clips in the plate were missing.When Zheng Liang came to pack up the food box, he was once again stunned by the scene in front of him, Li Wei actually ate all the lotus root clips while reading a book.He couldn't help but sigh: Ah Lang has been becoming more and more unrestrained in his diet recently.The author has something to say: Levi: Who doesn't have a proud little princess living in their hearts?
Chapter 13 At the beginning of each month, it is the day when Mrs.
Li Futai is thundered and fasting, in addition to not eating meat and fishy food, it is also forbidden to eat onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, Xingqu and other five xins.Without these ingredients, the dishes will inevitably taste tasteless, and Mrs.
Aether has been very picky about her appetite in recent days.On this day, Xue Ying was preparing dinner in the big kitchen, and Chunlan, the maidservant in Mrs.
Tai's room, came to pass the word: "Mrs.
Xue, Mrs.
Tai asked me to tell you, the weather is hot and I have no appetite, I want to have a few sour and hot dishes for dinner, don't get tired of putting sesame oil." ”Xue Ying hurriedly agreed, and after Chunlan left, Chen Niangzi frowned and sighed: "If you don't put sesame oil, vegetarian dishes will inevitably have no taste, what are we going to do for dinner?"
”Xue Ying pondered for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said, "It's okay."
Just make fake fried pork and spicy lettuce. ”Xue Ying took out the tender gourd she had just bought from the market, washed it, removed the gourd, and cut the skin into hob pieces.Soak the gluten and cut into shreds, mix well with salt and red yeast rice.Add rapeseed oil to the pan, fry the tender gourds and gluten in the pan and serve.Next, add the vegetarian broth boiled with pine and bamboo mushrooms, boil over high heat, simmer the gourds, gluten, salt and a little sweet wine, and sprinkle a little pepper and vinegar into the pot until the soup is dry, and the fake fried meat is ready.Chen Niangzi said with a smile: "The fake fried meat is fried with lard to fry gluten, and the broth is also made of pork bones. ”Xue Ying said with a smile: "Mrs.
Tai can't use meat oil for fasting, and it's too greasy to fry gluten in lard." ”Next, Mrs.
Chen started to make spicy lettuce.The operation of this dish is very simple, peel off the old skin of the lettuce, cut it into thin strips, blanch it in boiling water and blanch it slightly, and then add a little vinegar, salt and mustard seeds to make a mustard sauce.Mrs.
Chen was about to put this dish into the food box, but Xue Ying suddenly stopped: "Wait a minute." ”She quickly heats up a small amount of rapeseed oil and adds an appropriate amount of Sichuan peppercorns.When the oil pot is smoking, pour boiling oil on the shredded lettuce, and the unique aroma of Sichuan pepper immediately lingers in the air, Xue Ying smiled: "This is better." ”At this time, Wang Niangzi also came, and said to Xue Ying excitedly: "Xue Niangzi, I bought the fresh gourd you asked me to find, I bought it from the market." ”Xue Ying was overjoyed, carefully inspected the seeds, all of them were white and translucent, picked one up and bit it gently, a stream of sweet juice burst in the mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "This time the seeds are very good, let's make osmanthus seed syrup." ”Mrs.
Chen asked suspiciously: "I only know how to make cakes with gourd flour, what is the taste of this gourd syrup?"
”Xue Ying explained with a smile: "This is a unique dessert in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I also ate it when I visited my uncle in Hangzhou when I was a child.Fresh gourd is called chicken head rice in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the best time to pick it is in July and August every year.At this time, the seeds are only six to eight years ripe, the sweetest and most moist, and after this time, the flavor of the seeds will be greatly reduced. ”Xue Ying didn't pause as she spoke.The method of osmanthus syrup is very simple, boil fresh osmanthus in water, then add an appropriate amount of frosting, and sprinkle a small amount of dried osmanthus when it comes out of the pot.There was a guest in the Li Mansion today, so Mrs.
Tai called Li Wei and Li Jia to have dinner together.This person is Jiang Zhilan, Mrs.
Tai's niece and Li Wei's cousin.To say that the relationship between Mrs.
Tai and her mother's family is also average, but in recent years, Li Wei has been proud, and he seems to have become a rising star in the officialdom, and the Jiang family has moved around more frequently.Jiang Zhilan is eighteen years old this year, and she has also reached the age of marriage.Mrs.
Tai's younger brother Jiang Qiming saw that his nephew Li Wei's talent was first-class among the children of Guijie in the capital, so he moved his mind to kiss and kiss, and privately mentioned a few words to his sister.As for Jiang Zhilan herself, she had long heard that Li Wei was a young man and a talented man, and he was self-controlled, and he didn't even have a person in the room so far, so he was naturally willing.So Mrs.
Tai often took Mrs.
Jiang to live in the house, intentionally or unintentionally testing her son's tone.Seeing that he still looked so faint and indispensable, he was not only a little anxious, but planned to find an opportunity to knock it well.As soon as a few side dishes made by Xue Ying were put on the dining table, Mrs.
Tai's eyes lit up.The color of the fake fried meat is sauce red, the spicy lettuce is crystal green, and the osmanthus and sweet water are white and translucent, which are very eye-catching and tempting when put together.Mrs.
Tai pointed to the red dish in the middle and asked, "Is that fake fried meat?"
It's a pleasing color.Jiang Zhilan saw that Li Wei's maid was filial piety, so she naturally did everything possible to please Mrs.
Tai, hurriedly moved the dish to her, and returned with a smile: "Exactly, aunt try it?"
”Mrs.
Tai took a piece of gourd and tasted it, the gourd was crisp and sweet, with a hint of sourness and spiciness, which was very palatable.She then picked up a piece of gluten, the entrance was oily and sweet, because it was full of broth, and it vaguely revealed the unique fragrance of mushrooms, and she couldn't help but praise: "This fake fried meat is well done, it has the taste of meat, but it is not greasy at all." ”Li Jia was very interested in the osmanthus gourd syrup, and hurriedly scooped a spoonful of the gourd to taste, the fresh gourd is delicate in substance, and it can be broken by blowing, and when you bite it, the soft and glutinous sweetness of the soft heart river powder ripples on the tip of the tongue, and you can smell a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which is simply unstoppable.couldn't help but praise: "It turns out that the fresh gourd is so delicious, and Mrs.
Xue really has a pair of skillful hands." ”Jiang Zhilan asked curiously, "Is Mrs.
Xue the new cook invited by your mansion?"
”Li Jia smiled: "Exactly, Xue Niangzi is a clever person, and Niangniang and I like to eat her cooking." ”Jiang Zhilan heard Li Jia say this, and also scooped a spoonful of sweet water to taste.It is indeed a rare delicacy, although she has always regarded herself as a lady, and her diet and speech follow the law, she can't help but taste a few more bites at this time.Jiang Zhilan was eating, and at the same time, he also secretly observed Li Wei, he seemed to be very interested in the plate of spicy lettuce next to him, and after a while, he ate a lot, and couldn't help but smile and ask: "Cousin likes to eat lettuce?"
My family farmer gave a new batch of lettuce, and I asked my cousin to send it over. ”Li Wei said lightly: "Don't bother, I don't have a special preference for food, it's just that this dish is closer to me, so I use more." ”Eating and sleeping, as everyone's lady, Jiang Zhilan suddenly felt that she had a lot today, so she also fell silent.It's just that Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Tai looked at her son's paralyzed face, and she really couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't think it before, but now she is discovering more and more that her son is really a little incomprehensible.After the meal was over, Mrs.
Tai smiled at Jiang Zhilan and said, "Since you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave."
I'm bored all day, and the third sister also loves to be lively, so stay in the house for two more days to accompany us. ”Jiang Zhilan hurriedly agreed, Mrs.
Tai looked at her absent-minded son, and smiled: "On weekdays, you are always too busy to see people, and today it is easy to get free, Alan said that she wants to practice calligraphy and wants to borrow a calligraphy from you, you accompany her to the study to find it." ”Since his mother spoke, Li Wei naturally excused himself, so he led Jiang Zhilan to the study and found a copy of the inscription of the Emperor of Lujun and Zhang Fujun.Who knew that Mrs.
Jiang said that she was afraid of the dark and asked him to send her back to the room.Walking out of the study, Jiang Zhilan saw that Li Wei was dressed in a jade-colored silk robe, tightly bound to a wide band, and the lanterns in the courtyard turned into fine gold dust, sprinkled on his upright body, and looked more and more handsome, with a face like a crown of jade, and eyes like a star.couldn't help blushing secretly, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, the moonlight is so good tonight." ”Levi had something else on his mind.Since the abolition of the exemption law, the imperial court has resumed the battle in front of the ya.There is a villager in Xiangfu County who is on the wheel to serve this year, responsible for escorting Fujian's Longtuan tea into Beijing, who knows that the road encountered a flash flood, a cart of tea was completely destroyed.The price of Longtuan tea is high, and the villager can't afford to pay even if he goes bankrupt, so he committed suicide in a hurry.The relatives of the villagers couldn't stand it anymore, and gathered hundreds of people to come to the county government to make trouble, and Xiangfu County Commander was a mediocre talent, and he had to clean up this mess.At this time, of course, Levi was not in the mood to admire the moon, but just responded lightly.Jiang Zhilan was also accustomed to Li Wei's paralyzed appearance, and continued to ask: "My cousin has always been talented, and the small orders he made were often praised by the first emperor. ”Li Wei felt that this cousin had a lot to say today, and said in a deep voice: "It's a fallacious award."
Recently, I have been in the mood to write poetry. ”The two of them were silent like this, Jiang Zhilan was a little unwilling, and said half-loudly: "The Midyear Festival is coming soon, the shop near Panlou prints and sells "Zun Shengmu Lianjing", acts in the miscellaneous drama of saving the mother, and also releases water lanterns in the Bianhe River, I plan to ask Sanniang to go with me, if my cousin is free, he will also accompany us to go shopping, okay?"
”Li Wei frowned: "I respect Confucianism alone, this god and ghost is nonsense, I am not the middle of the Yuan Festival."
What's more, the market is noisy and the weather is hot, so I won't follow you to join in the fun, just go with Sanniang. ”Jiang Zhilan was completely speechless this time.In her opinion, she pulled her cousin out to step into the moon, and her cousin Xiang has a talent of seven steps, maybe he will make lyrics on the spot, and he will sing and a que, which can be regarded as a good story of talent and beauty.Who would have thought that he would not say anything in a daze, that is, he mentioned going to Panlou to watch a miscellaneous drama, but he was also ruthlessly refused, which is not consistent with the love of children and daughters he imagined growing up.Soon, the two walked to Jiang Zhilan's residence, and Li Wei hurriedly said goodbye as if relieved.Jiang Zhilan looked at her cousin's long figure under the moon and was stunned, and she made a lap in the courtyard alone, and she lost the mood of the moon before the flower.She really couldn't figure out the temperament of this cousin, he seemed to be indifferent to everything, and all the pleasures in the world seemed to be in his eyes.However, Jiang Zhilan is not disgusted with her cousin like this, at least he is much stronger than those frivolous and prodigal children of the family, not to mention that he is in a high position at a young age, and his future is really limitless.Jiang Zhilan saw one thing very clearly, Li Wei's mother was filial piety, and she also loved her sister very much, as long as she coaxed these two people, she would naturally be able to please him, and there would be opportunities in the future.The author has something to say: Levi: Before the flowers?
I'm sorry I won't。。。。。。
Chapter 14 Jiang Zhilan lived in the Li Mansion for a few days, except for going to Mrs.
Tai's place every day to stay in the morning and dusk, she always went to talk to Li Jia.However, Li Jia's impression of his uncle's family is really not good.At the beginning, my father doted on a concubine surnamed Lin, and even favored her cousin, and never cared about her mother, nor did he lick the calf for himself and his brother.The third uncle, as his mother's brother-in-law, was not always moved, even if he moved around occasionally, he persuaded his mother to cultivate women's virtues diligently, not to be arrogant or jealous.At that time, her grandfather and grandmother had died, and her mother's family had no one to stand up for her, and life became more and more miserable.In the past few years, seeing that the eldest brother's official position has risen higher and higher, the uncle's family has been moving around diligently, and the aunt, who has always been cold, has treated her much kinder.She is not as good as her mother, she can forget the past and repay her grievances with virtue.As for this cousin, Li Jia also has a bad impression of her.Like all the ladies of the family, Jiang Zhilan is gentle and virtuous, respectful and polite, and her actions make people can't find faults, but Li Jia always feels that she lacks a little bit of true temperament.What's more, Jiang Zhilan sent her eldest brother a fan cover back, saying that she made it herself.But as soon as she looked at the embroiderer, she knew that this must have been done by her cousin at a great price for a famous embroiderer.She knows her cousin's female red, the level is about the same as herself, and she will never embroider such a delicate and gorgeous pattern.Originally, Jiang Zhilan admired her eldest brother, and Li Jia did not object, but she also had to play tricks in such a trivial matter, and Li Jia inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.On this day, Jiang Zhilan asked Li Jia with a smile: "On the day of the Midyear Festival, there will be a miscellaneous drama in the Panlou area, and there will be a krathong, shall we go shopping together?"
”Li Jia smiled and said: "It's really unfortunate, the little lady of Pan Mansion has the birthday of Zhongyuan Festival, I have to go to the banquet, or we will go out together next time." ”Jiang Zhilan had no choice but to give up.But I saw Li Jia patting his head again and said: "Oh, I almost forgot, I still have to go to Xue Niangzi to learn how to make stuffed fish, I can't accompany you." ”After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left.Yuehua and the other maidservants also followed, leaving Jiang Zhilan alone to sit on the chair in a daze.She had heard Mrs.
Tai and Li Jia praise Xue Ying more than once.At this time, my curiosity was completely ignited, and I couldn't help but want to meet this famous young chef.When Jiang Zhilan went to the big kitchen to find Xue Ying, she was preparing dinner.Xue Ying saw Jiang Zhilan's clothes and decorations, and was only stunned for a moment before smiling: "It's Jiang Niangzi, I don't know what instructions you have?"
”Jiang Zhilan smiled: "Xue Niangzi is polite.I always hear Sanniang praise your cooking skills, I also want to steal a hand, what kind of dish is Xue Niangzi going to do tonight" Xue Ying didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she only smiled and said: "Jiang Niangzi has won the award, I am just a little trick, Mrs.
Tai has a serious cough recently, and I don't sleep well at night, I plan to make five-flavor apricot cheese goose and five-spice cake." ”"Oh."
Jiang Zhilan said casually: "I vaguely remember that Schisandra chinensis is a traditional Chinese medicine. ”"Mrs.
Jiang is right.Schisandra chinensis and apricot cheese have the effect of relieving cough and nourishing yin and dissolving deficiency, and five-spice cake can regulate the spleen and stomach, and Mrs.
Yu is the most symptomatic. ”Xue Ying explained to Jiang Zhilan as she began to process the materials.Cut the fresh goose meat into long strips, spread red yeast rice, salt, green onions, ginger and sour schisandra sauce, marinate for a while, and then put it in a cage drawer to steam.Next, Xue Ying took out a handful of sweet almonds and soaked them in hot water, adding a pinch of furnace ash.Wang Niangzi asked curiously: "Why did Xue Niangzi add furnace ash?"
”"For the convenience of peeling."
Xue Ying waited until the water temperature became cooler, took out the almonds, and gently pinched them with her fingers, and the skin was all gone.At this time, the almonds were white and translucent, emitting an attractive luster, Xue Ying put it into the stone mill where the tofu was grinded, added a little grinding, and then used a fine silk bag to squeeze the juice residue to remove the residue, and the unique aroma of almonds spread.Xue Ying poured the almond juice into the pot and cooked, added a little frosting and milk, and a bowl of sweet and sweet apricot cheese was ready.At this time, the goose meat was also steamed, Xue Ying took the plate out of the cage drawer and poured an appropriate amount of apricot cheese, and the five-flavor apricot cheese goose was ready.The red yeast rice brought a touch of rouge to the goose meat, and the aroma of poultry meat lingered in the air, and Jiang Zhilan suddenly felt a little hungry.Xue Ying began to prepare the next pastry non-stop, put an appropriate amount of glutinous rice, sticky rice, gourd, atractylodes, poria cocos, lotus root powder and a small amount of ginseng powder into a large bowl and stir well, and then pour them into a fine-hole mesh sieve.Mrs.
Wang, who was helping the cook, had already melted the frosting with hot water and let it cool, at this time, Xue Ying took it and slowly poured it into the mixed powder, stirring while pouring it, and it didn't take long for the dry powder to become a viscous slurry.Xue Ying breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Okay, we can rest for a while now, and wait until the fine powder is full of water." ”Jiang Zhilan said with a smile: "Niangniang also eats five-spice cake at home, I can't imagine that it is so troublesome to make, the so-called five-spice, what do you mean by those five materials?"
”Xue Ying explained with a smile: "When it refers to the seeds, atractylodes, poria cocos, ginseng and sand kernel powder, but Mrs.
Tai thinks the sand kernel taste is too strong, so I use lotus root powder instead." ”At this time, someone at the door of the big kitchen was looking for: "The crabs that the ladies want are here." ”Xue Ying instructed Mrs.
Wang: "You go and see the goods, don't have dead crabs, I'll just keep an eye on the kitchen here." ”Mrs.
Wang agreed to go out, and only Xue Ying and Jiang Zhilan were left in the kitchen.Xue Ying stirred the batter again, poured it into a plum-shaped mold, then covered the cake noodles with a flat plate, and put it in the cage drawer to steam a stick of incense on high heat, and the five-spice cake was ready.Jiang Zhilan saw that the spiced cake was as smooth as a mirror, just like a white plum blooming in the snow, and couldn't help sighing: "Your house is really willing to work hard, and specially made a mold for a plate of cake. ”Xue Ying smiled and said: "I entered the mansion for a shallow day, and this mold was left by the cook in the old mansion to make plum blossom cakes, and it was just a pleasing picture." ”Jiang Zhilan's heart moved, and she suddenly said: "Xue Niangzi, I have a reluctant request, can you promise me?"
”Xue Ying couldn't figure out her intentions, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't dare to be, Mrs.
Jiang, please speak." ”Jiang Zhilan said with a smile: "My aunt is old, and she likes to eat these sweets the most, and I have the heart to honor her old man, but she is clumsy."
Today's plate of spiced cake can be regarded as my filial piety to my aunt.After the horizontal vertical, I will practice more with Xue Niangzi, and I will do it, and then I will let me make more for my aunt to eat, and it will be the same. ”Xue Ying secretly thought: Jiang Zhilan's filial piety to Mrs.
Tai is fake, and it is true that she wants to please Li Wei's cousin, but this little cleverness is inevitably used in the wrong place.She suddenly felt a little pity for Jiang Zhilan, Li Wei obviously had a habit of breaking sleeves, Jiang Zhilan didn't like anyone well, she had to take a fancy to him!
Thinking of this, Xue Ying was happy to be this good person, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with this, I want to say that Mrs.
Jiang did it, Mrs.
Tai will be even happier." ”After Jiang Zhilan thanked her, she put her dinner in the food box and went to find Mrs.
Tai.Seeing this, Mrs.
Tai hurriedly said: "Alain, it's good to let someone do such a thing as delivering food, why do you have to work so hard." ”Jiang Zhilan said with a smile: "Serving my aunt's diet and daily life is also what our younger generations should do, not to mention that it is not troublesome." ”As he spoke, he placed the food in the food box on the table.Jiang Niangzi's kung fu of flattering the elders is first-class, Li Jia sneered in her heart, there was a plate of goose meat on the table, but she had always disliked the grassy smell of goose meat, and frowned slightly.Who knew that Jiang Zhilan put a piece of steamed goose into the plate in front of her in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "Today's goose meat is well cooked, Sanniang taste it." ”Li Jia was about to go back lukewarmly, but saw Mrs.
Tai instructing her: "Five-flavor apricot cheese goose replenishes deficiency, the third sister can't be picky, hurry up and eat some." ”Li Jia had to reluctantly move the chopsticks, she didn't expect anything from the steamed goose, who knew that the goose meat was a mouthful, and the rich juice filled the lips and tongue, and the sour schisandra effectively covered up the grassy smell of the goose meat, and highlighted the fat and sweet aroma of the meat itself.The apricot cheese poured at the end is a stroke of genius, and the unique aroma of almonds gives the goose meat a rich taste, making the meat extremely tender.She couldn't help but eat several pieces in a row.It turns out that goose meat can be so delicious!
At this time, Jiang Zhilan moved the plate of five-spice cake to Mrs.
Tai, and said with a smile: "My niece has just learned to make five-spice cakes, and I heard that my aunt doesn't like the taste of sand kernels, so she specially added lotus root powder, aunt try it quickly." ”Mrs.
Tai smiled more and more: "I didn't expect Lan'er's hands to be so skillful, this is your filial piety, of course I want to taste it." ”Li Jia couldn't help pouting, when did this cousin become emotionally interested in eating and drinking fruits again, in order to win the favor of the eldest brother, she really did everything.Mrs.
Tai picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it, the entrance was cool and smooth, with a faint aroma of root fruit.This spiced cake candy is placed just right, not too sweet to cover the taste of the ingredients themselves, but also not so that people are negligible, so that you don't feel tired of eating a few pieces in a row.The most rare thing is that because the powder is very finely sieved, the taste is very soft and smooth, not as cold, hard and rough as the pastries sold in the market.Mrs.
Tai praised with a smile: "This five-spice cake is simply amazing, and it is not inferior to the cheese Zhang family near Panlou."
I'll tell you the truth, Lan'er's craftsmanship is rare even with lanterns. ”Jiang Zhilan hurriedly smiled: "My aunt praised it.I just learned and practiced with the cook at home for a few more days.My aunt is well-informed, and she has never tasted any strange pastries.My little insect carving skill is just a smile from Aunt Bo. ”Li Jia pouted secretly again.On the contrary, Li Wei, who was sitting on the side and had been eating silently without speaking, saw his mother say this, and it was rare to give him a taste of face, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.Jiang Zhilan's expectant gaze fell on him: "Cousin, isn't you used to the taste of this spiced cake?"
”Levi's face soon remained as usual, and he smiled faintly, "Very good." ”After finishing dinner and returning to his room, Li Wei said in a deep voice to Zheng Liang, who was serving on the side: "You bring Xue Niangzi, I have something to ask her." ”Xue Ying was about to rest after dinner, but she didn't expect Zheng Liang to come to this bad news, and she chuckled in her heart, she knew that there was a chance that something had happened.Chapter 15 When Xue Ying was led to Li Wei's study by Zheng Liang, he was concentrating on copying Li Cheng's "Qingluan Xiao Temple" in front of the desk, and ignored Xue Ying when he saw it, until he finished painting the boulder of the set, and slowly dried the ink, and then asked, "Do you know why you were called?"
”Hengzhi wanted to be blamed, Xue Ying simply said horizontally: "The servant knows." ”"Oh?"
Li Wei was a little surprised when he heard this, and put down his pen with a frown: "Tell me about it." ”"Ah Lang asked the maid to come over, I'm afraid that he already knows that the plate of five-spice cake was not made by Mrs.
Jiang, so I think it is necessary to blame the maid for not hiding it for her."

Li Wei simply smiled: "You are obedient, but you are a little too smart."
Tell me for yourself, how you should be punished. ”"The servant doesn't think there's anything wrong with me.""
Oh?"
Li Wei didn't expect Xue Ying to be so bold, and asked coldly, "Isn't it a big mistake to deceive the head of the family?"
”Xue Ying raised her voice and said, "In any case, Jiang Niangzi did this out of filial piety.It's just that the skill of making cakes is so complicated that she can't learn it for a while, so she has to borrow it from me temporarily.However, she also mentioned to me that in the future, she will regularly go to the big kitchen to learn how to make five-spice cakes, and if she wants to come to the holidays, she will make five-spice cakes by herself to honor Mrs.
Tai. ”Li Wei said coldly: "I see that your book is read in vain."
What is filial piety?
Filial piety comes from nature, out of sincerity, Jiang Niangzi wants to be filial piety, although there is nothing wrong, but if she uses means to play tricks, this filial piety is not pure.You helped her deceive her mother, it was disrespectful, how can you say that it is not wrong?
”Thinking about it carefully, there was indeed some truth in what he said, and Xue Ying sighed silently: "What Ah Lang blames is that it is the servant who has not considered it properly.It's just ......"
Levi then asked, "Just what?"
”Xue Ying plucked up her courage and said: "It's not appropriate for Jiang Niangzi to do this, but she doesn't have any malicious intent, please forgive her for the sake of her infatuation with Ah Lang." ”Li Wei stared at her for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "Xue Niangzi is benevolent and generous, but she can't help but manage too much, so let's worry about myself more." ”It seems that Jiang Zhilan will inevitably dislike him this time, Xue Ying felt sorry for her in her heart, and said: "In the future, the maid will not be nosy, if Ah Lang has no other instructions, the servant will leave first." ”"Wait a minute."
Levi reached out to stop her, frowning and pointing at her fingers, "What's the matter with the burns on your hand?"
”Since learning to cook at the age of ten, it is common for Xue Ying's hands to be cut and burned, she glanced at her wound indifferently, and said with a smile: "I think it was accidentally burned when steaming five-flavor apricot cheese goose for lunch, so it's okay." ”Levi's brow furrowed, and he got up and went to the cupboard to get the scald medicine and handed it to her silently.This surprised Xue Ying, and hurriedly excused herself: "I really don't need to, I've been a cook for ten years, and it's common to be burned, and my fingers are calloused, but I don't feel pain." ”Hearing this, Li Wei looked at her right hand, and sure enough, a thin layer of calluses appeared on her fingertips, and her complexion was extremely white, but the burns were particularly shocking.Li Wei said in a deep voice: "I have already taken out the scald medicine, can Xue Niangzi still want me to put it back?"
”Xue Ying pouted secretly: Li Wei, even if he is kind, how can he say something that people don't like to hear.Xue Ying thanked her and applied it a little, and her fingers were really much more comfortable.After Xue Ying left, Li Wei couldn't help but fall into the memory, her habit of not liking to complain was very similar to her back then.Li Wei has always been known for his early wisdom, at the age of seven or eight, the children of ordinary families are still busy chasing and fighting, he has been getting up early every day to practice calligraphy, just to win a casual praise from his father, so that his mother's life is much better.But soon he found that no matter how much he did and how good he became, his father would not pay much attention to it, and only Lin's mother and son were his heart.His mother felt sorry for him for working too hard, and there was a thick stack of waste paper for practicing calligraphy every day, and she once asked him: "Do your hands hurt?"
”He remembered that he had replied like this: "After practicing too much, my fingers have been ground out of calluses, and it doesn't hurt." ”Soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the court officials took a day off, Xue Ying was worried about the business of the soup shop, and the other wanted to go out for a walk, so he also took a day off.
