Chapter 69: Tang Yuan and Sugar Don't Throw(1/2)
Pei Shuo held the lucky money in his hand, which was actually just an ordinary copper coin. A Yao asked Wangyue for it, and she asked for a total of three cents and wrapped it in the dumplings.
Unexpectedly, I was called to leave. After a while, I went out, and none of the three of them had enough money to get lucky last night.
That's depressed.
"Ouch!" Pei Shuo called again. His poor front teeth looked closely and the second copper coin was laughing: "A Yao, could it be that you put all the lucky money in my bowl?"
"How is it possible, wait." A Yao didn't believe it, so she took a clean spoon and poked the soft dumplings. It was soft and there was no hard thing inside. That was it! Pei Shuo looked at A Yao's actions and watched her scooped a dumpling from her bowl and put it in his bowl. She exchanged it with the dumplings in his bowl. Pei Shuo was amused: "Do you know you are cheating?"
"Come and eat, then we will all be blessed." A Yao said shamelessly, then lowered her head and bite the fragrant glutinous rice dumpling skin. The fragrant sesame filling flowed out, which was sweet, but she couldn't eat the lucky money.
Pei Shuo let go of the lucky dumplings and went to eat what A Yao gave him. He only had one bite and smiled. Today, A Yao really brought him great joy. But then he thought about it and deliberately looked down on his face, pretending that he had not eaten the lucky dumplings. He asked in annoyance: "A Yao, how much lucky dumplings have you put in, are there only two?"
A Yao thought Pei Shuo had not eaten the third lucky money, and was still fighting to find the last lucky money from her bowl, and replied casually: "No, I put three. I originally planned to be one of Master Wangyue, one of bird's nests, and one of mine. Strange, where are you going?"
Pei Shuo could no longer help but laughed and showed A Yao the dumplings wrapped in two lucky money. The dumplings with lucky money were filled with no fillings, which could be seen at a glance.
"A Yao, you gave me all your blessings, hahaha, how could you be so cute?"
"..." Is this called shooting oneself in the foot?
Perhaps because A Yao's expression was too ferocious, Pei Shuo quickly finished eating the dumplings and spit out two lucky coins. Adding the previous ones, three lucky coins were washed away: "Hey, I eat them all by myself, and the blessing you gave me, so you can't cheat."
She muttered, and next time she made money dumplings or dumplings with good fortune, she had to mark them. She didn't believe in luck. A non-master talked about luck and cheated obediently! "Whoever cares about you, I'll find the red thread to wear it for you."
The red rope was twisted into twists and put on three copper coins. A Yao asked him to put the sachet in it, but he said it would make it into a pendant, hang it on his neck, and put it away.
Pei Shuo smiled brightly, with white teeth and warm smile, blurring her eyes and playing handsome tricks, which made her heart beat even after a beat.
He said, "A Yao, I am so happy. I didn't expect that when I was about to leave, I received the gift from you. With your blessings, I will definitely be as you said. Good luck will come and run in the coming year, peace and harmony."
But A Yao heard something wrong. Pei Shuo's words contained a strong sense of tragedy and reluctance: "Why do you say separation from life and death if you want to go home?"
"I plan to join the army."
Pei Shuo said lightly, just like he had just eaten a dumpling.
Join the army!?
A Yao widened her eyes, looked him from top to bottom, and then reached out to touch his forehead: "Are you crazy? How old are you going to join the army? Do your father know? Or is he asking you to go!?"
"Although you are close and I can't understand what you are thinking, I feel so happy now that you care about me."
Pei Shuo held his cheek and looked at A Yao with his face sideways: "What do you think about all day long?"
A Yao was crazy. Is this time thinking about these things? She also wanted to open Pei Shuo's mind and see what he was thinking. Child, wake up quickly!
"I just feel awkward every time I think of you telling me that you want to marry me as a concubine. Your words have brought me too much trouble. Although you are only ten years old, I will take it seriously and keep it in my heart. Whenever you treat me a little bit better, I can't help but think of what you said. I'm also very confused. While enjoying your kindness to me, I secretly stay away from you. I'll forget each other early, and then I'll lose any worries. Oh, why am I so entangled?"
The joy on Pei Shuo's face faded away little by little.
He looked at A Yao, as if the one in front of her was not a boy. She seemed to have seen such pairs of sharp eyes as hawks everywhere.
"I'm kind to you, so has you bothered?"
"Because I can't repay you, eat yours, live yours, use yours, I don't want to be the second Bai Yun, be your maid, and I don't want to be the more I owe you too good to me, and I will not be able to pay it back in the end, maybe I can't afford it!"
A Yao finally broke out at this moment.
"I didn't expect that being your wife would have a very different status. In this way, I can only be a concubine as you said. But I really hate the identity of a concubine. I don't want to be the person I hate. This is why I want to distance myself from you. Sometimes I think too much and always remember a certain sentence firmly. Huh~ I've finished saying it."
She stroked her hair, let out a sigh, and said all the words she was stuffed in her heart, and now she felt much more relaxed.
Pei Shuo lowered his head and finished the last glutinous rice ball. The sweet sesame filling was a little tired of it, and the fragrant glutinous rice ball skin was very full, but the taste was good. The chef at home could not make this taste. If he went to the army, he would not have many opportunities to eat the glutinous rice balls in the future.
The two were silent.
A Yao walked around the courtyard, was she going to break up with friendship or I wouldn't be playing with you in the future? Pei Shuo, would you give me a message?
Pei Shuo was thinking about what she said.
Bird's nest poked out and said, "You're quarreling?"
A Yao quickly drove the person away, "Oh, go with Master Wangyue, we are chatting."
The bird's nest god was interrupted, interrupting the strange atmosphere between them. Pei Shuo also made a decision. He subconsciously did not want to lose A Yao, a good friend.
After careful reflection, he told the little girl that she had grown up and married her as a concubine. This was really too embarrassing. It was no wonder that A Yao sometimes faced him like a snake or a scorpion. If he were to him, he wouldn't like Aunt Feng at home.
"A Yao." Pei Shuo's cry came from behind.
Finally, she clenched her fists, pursed her lips, turned around and responded in a low voice, waiting for the moment when Pei Shuo was sentenced to death.
Pei Shuo handed the bowl forward: "A Yao, do you have any dumplings? Let's have another bowl."
A Yao gritted her teeth, grabbed his bowl, and stepped into the kitchen: "I really want to pry open your head and see what you are thinking!"
He smiled, "Cook for me food, even if I pay back my debts, Wangyue's regular food is worth 5,000 yuan and ten pieces of silk. You will be with Wangyue in the future and will have a bright future."
She was so surprised that she could stuff eggs into her mouth. She knew that it would be very expensive to ask for the moon, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive!
Ancient version of Michelin chef!
Thinking of this, she became more focused on learning skills. She had a household registration, and she followed a master with a superb cooking skills and life was also
It will be prosperous and get better and better!
Removing the wooden cover, the remaining glutinous rice balls are a bit sticky, and a few stick to one piece. If cooked again, the taste will be gone and the taste will be even worse.
"Ah...I'll cook it for you again."
Pei Shuo didn't care. He was not a good family before. There were several chefs at home, and the taste was good and bad. It was a while ago that Wangyue had come. He had always heard rumors about her in the capital and wanted to try her skills, so he invited people to his home, which was really worthy of his reputation.
"If I eat the noodles you cook, will I still dislike your dumplings? It's just a little cold and softer, it doesn't matter."
He said everything, Pei Shuo asked her to cook and pay off her debts. A pretentious woman finally put down her tangle and glanced at him: "It's like I'm forcing you to eat, hum."
"I want to eat it."
"After eating dumplings, my mouth feels like I have been smeared with honey." A Yao took out a large celadon bowl and looked at the dumplings that were leaving the soup one by one. Suddenly, she remembered that the sugar was not thrown away.
Yes, why didn't she forget the candy?
That is the twin brother of Tangyuan!
There are no peanuts in this era, but they can be replaced by melon seeds or pine nuts, or fried eggs and cut them into shredded eggs and sprinkled on top. This is another flavor.
However, the dumplings are made of glutinous rice flour, which is sweet and unmelting. Although the sugar is delicious, they are still fried with brown sugar. Three layers of sweet tastes with different tastes bloom on the taste buds...
Just thinking about it makes my scalp feel numb. It’s too sweet. It’s definitely uncomfortable if I go half of it.
"Pei Shuo, do you know how to make tea?" A Yao asked, "If you want to eat dumplings, please help with your work. On snowy days, sugar is better matched with strong tea!"
Wangyue got news from the bird's nest that A Yao and the other two had a quarrel.
At that time, the atmosphere between them was quite stiff. Pei Shuo sat on the threshold with his black face and his eyes moved back and forth with A Yao. At that moment, she had an illusion that Pei Shuo wanted to be unfavorable to A Yao, so she told Wangyue.
The two masters and apprentices were worried that the little apprentice would have an accident, so they rushed to the kitchen and saw one grinding tea and the other stirring in the pot with a spoon. The atmosphere was strange and almost completely different from the bird's nest.
What should I do if I have to start pinching?
It is so difficult to understand the needle of a child’s heart.
Looking at the moon and bird's nest are back and forth and exchange ideas.
Wangyue coughed twice, walked out from behind the pillar, and came to the kitchen to see what A Yao did.
In the wok, the surface of the pine nuts was slightly burnt and exuded a refreshing fragrance. She stir-fryed for a few times and then filled it with a shading blue fish water-patterned porcelain plate.
The stove also uses a small iron pot to boil brown sugar. Three pieces of ginger slices floated in the brown sugar water. The white dumplings were dyed slightly red in the thick brown sugar water. Soon, swaying slightly to the small pot to drain, put the dumplings on a white porcelain printed peony flavor plate, and put one for each flavor plate.
Finally, the pine nuts and egg peel were sprinkled on it. She thought about it carefully and remembered that there was a raisin from the Western Regions, which was green and slightly sour in the taste, and she also took it to sprinkle it around.
The sugar is freshly released.
Wangyue said: "Yaozhu, is there any of our portions here? You can't hide quietly and eat secretly. Eating alone will not make you fat."
A Yao was startled and yelled: "Master, don't bring scary things. You have wronged your disciple. You have to pay for each person. There are also uncles in charge of the flower garden and aunts on the night. They can eat some hot things in winter, and they feel energetic, but they haven't done it well now."
Wangyue nodded with satisfaction and glanced at the modified dumplings again. "The way to make dumplings looks fresh, when will it be ready?"
"It's almost the shortage of Pei Shuo's tea. I don't use sugar. I still use yesterday's dumplings. I boiled them with brown sugar and ginger water. The ginger juice drives away the cold and positive energy. The pine nut egg skin sticks to the dumplings. Finally, it is accompanied by slightly sour raisins. If you don't like it, you can chew the raisins and then have a cup of bitter and sweet matcha. It's amazing - the above is pure brain supplement."
Pei Shuo, Wangyue and Bird's Nest, heard everything she said, and nodded one after another, but in the last sentence, A Yao fully explained what it means to be a bad scenery and unreliable.
"Master Wangyue tasted it."
Pei Shuo ordered matcha, and the black-glazed tea cups with partridge spots were placed next to the white porcelain flavored dish. The slightly red glutinous rice balls on the white porcelain printed peony dish were soft and soft. Wang Yue poked the chopsticks a few times, but it was not sticky. Then he put them into his mouth and chewed them slowly.
After eating, drink another cup of matcha.
She closed her eyes and savored it carefully.
A Yao looked at Wangyue and didn't dare to breathe for a moment, for fear of disturbing her.
Bird's nest then picked up the chopsticks and started eating. She ate very quickly, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it. She swallowed it and picked up the matcha and drank it, and took it away for others.
So, how does it taste?
A Yao and Pei Shuo couldn't help but start eating. The brown sugar ginger water has a sweet and spicy skin. The middle layer is the sweet and smooth glutinous rice. There is also a sesame paste filling at the innermost point. It is very fragrant. The fragrance of nuts and egg skin is smooth and has a rich taste. Eating raisins will add to it. But change the order, drink matcha, and finally chew a few raisins sprinkled around it, and the afterglow will be extended.
She slowly drank tea and thought.
After a while, Wangyue opened her eyes and A Yao was still in front of her, she smiled and said, "Yaozhu, you have a good talent, don't be too happy, be careful of being arrogant and impatient in everything."
