Chapter 71: Farewell with hairpins, and salute with meat floss

Most Cantonese desserts are sweeter, and with red beans, lotus seeds or condensed milk, the sweetness will be higher. Eating a few more bites will make you feel greasy, so the portion is generally very small... しw0. However, desserts are not only fixed, but they can vary in a variety of ways. They are like coconut milk, red bean paste and pine nut double-skin milk. The slightest change in ingredients will not only taste rich in texture, but also "deception" of taste buds to a certain extent, creating the illusion that it is not very sweet, so that you can eat one more bowl, or try other desserts.

So I became fat before I knew it.

She recalled carefully that she seemed to have never heard of a beautiful love story about double-skin milk, so she could give it to Pei Shuo with confidence.

Pei Shuo said: "I'll listen to you."

"Then let's have pine nuts, it tastes delicious. If only there are mangoes, the sweet and sour mangoes with the milky aroma are also a good choice." A Yao said to herself, and Pei Shuo didn't hear the second half of the words. When she was about to ask, A Yao handed one of the bowls forward, "Okay, eat quickly."

He scooped up a spoonful of coagulated double-skin milk, and the aroma of condensed double-skin milk was tempting. After taking a bite, the double-skin milk had already slipped to his throat before he could chew it. It was a little sweeter, but he liked this more than yesterday's sugar.

"Is it sweet?" Pei Shuo's face didn't change anything else, he just raised his eyebrows. A Yao saw it and asked.

Pei Shuo is not particularly sweet-loving. A Yao thinks her frosting is just right, but for Pei Shuo, it is still sweet.

"It's delicious, very slippery, it melts in your mouth." Pei Shuo commented.

It's a bad idea.

The diner's comments were further discounted in her heart. She was not very satisfied. She took out a bowl to eat. As soon as she ate, she looked up in surprise.

Pei Shuo unconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth, "Is there something dirty in the corner of my mouth?"

"No." She smiled, lowered her head and gave her a soup to her mouth. This time the double-skin milk was slightly sweet, and she didn't put much sugar in it. In the first few days, she had a mentality of eating dumplings and sugar without throwing it away. She would still have two bowls!

Pei Shuo put down the bowl, took out a golden hairpin from his arms, and handed it to A Yao in a hurry: "Thank you for your hospitality, I... will leave Nanxun and return to the capital tomorrow. I will give this to you. I see that there are hairpins on the bird's nest, and there is no decoration on your head, so it is bare and not good-looking."

"You are only bare!" A Yao's black thread retorted, and her eyes swept over the silver gilded peach hairpin. What puzzled her was its shape, which looked like a semi-finished product, and seemed to have been broken off by someone. Although she saw this hairpin for the first time, it did not prevent her intuition that there should be half of it.

Pei Shuo was a little unnatural. Has she seen through it? There was also a missing piece on it, which was really too easy to see.

Thinking of it, he took out the remaining half again and held it in his hand: "This is a silver gilt-shaped hairpin with the two hairpin. I will break it into two parts, I will keep one piece, and you can take the rest. Pei Xingzhi has given you a hairpin before... I don't seem to find that I have sold the hairpin recently, but the hairpin is solid and weighs enough. If you encounter difficulties, take it as a hairpin. It is much more practical than the hairpin that is so thin that it can be broken. That hairpin is not worth much money!"

A Yao was amused and crying, "I didn't give it to you right away, you still miss it. I'm eating and living in Master's house now, and I'm living well. I can't accept this hairpin, so you can take it back."

Pei Shuo was unhappy and the argument was fruitless. She asked, "Pei Shuo, do you know the meaning of splitting hairpins?"

He scratched his face, and the hairpin was a gift for farewell, should it be a gift for A Yao to give him?

"It's the hairpin..." A Yao said suddenly, blushing. How should she explain? If Pei Shuo asked her how a child understood better than him, how should she answer?

His face turned red again.

Pei Shuo remembered the first red plum blossoms outside the window with hollow floral patterns. After the light snow, the plum blossoms are fresh and the crystal snow is red with a tender red rice, just like A Yao's current face, but it is always different. After the fine snow, the fragrance floats outside the window, and under the nose wings in front of him, the fragrance is full of milk.

"What is it?" he asked with a bad heart. From A Yao's reaction, he understood a little.

He just wanted to tease A Yao.

"It is a token of separation between husband and wife. When we meet again in the future, we will close the hairpin again. It is not appropriate for you to give me a hairpin with my head." A Yao still rejected Pei Shuo's gift.

Pei Shuo had different opinions. The hairpin was a token of reunion for a couple after separation. However, he gave a hairpin with a headband. The hairpin and hairpin were two different headdresses. There was no saying that the hairpin was distributed. The golden hairpin was left for her for self-defense first aid. It was used to stab people when it was dangerous, and it was sold when it was tight.

What he said makes sense and she can't refute it.

Since she has accepted someone else's hairpin, she has to do something to see her off tomorrow.

From Fu Uncle Fu found out that Pei Shuo and his friends had prepared a lot of sesame cakes to eat on the road. Nanxun County and the capital were thousands of miles apart. The mountain road in winter was not easy to walk. Wangyue asked her for advice and borrowed money from her, so he went to the butcher to buy a pound of pork butter and three pounds of hind leg meat.

Pork oil is used for refining oil, while hind legs are fried pork floss for him to take to eat on the way.

The lard residue cut into small pieces is golden, crispy, tough, and very chewy. It is used to stir-fry or rice with one or two pieces, and it tastes like meat. A Yao thought again, when they were rushing, the lard residue was not very useful, and it was not as good as meat floss. It could be stored for a long time, leaving lard residue, and filling the lard into a bamboo tube.

When the meat stewed with soy sauce, ginger, and star anise is easily passed by chopsticks, A Yao tear them into shredded meat, cut them into fine pieces, and stir-fry them in a pot until the meat is golden and fluffy.

She twisted a little and put it in her mouth and chewed it... She felt like she didn't want to keep it for Pei Shuo and how could she make it so delicious!

After finishing my work, it was completely dark.

"It is said that early in the morning, they are about to set off for the capital. I have to go to bed quickly and get up early tomorrow."

Perhaps she was thinking about Pei Shuo leaving. When she woke up, she was not dawn and the sky was full of stars... It was also the coldest time. A Yao wrapped herself in bedding and didn't want to get up at all.

After procrastinating for a long time, she put on a cloak of gray squirrel, held the food box, and held the copper duck warmer in her hand to go to Peifu Villa.

The Pei family is loading the car.

That's great, I've caught up.

A Yao breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the stone steps opposite the Pei family, holding the copper stove in her hand and rubbing it back and forth.

The cold wind was chilly, she tightened her cloak, shrank herself into a ball, waiting, her eyelids were dizzy, and she leaned against the stone pillar and fell asleep.

"What's there? Come and take a look?" Fu Bo Yi was reluctant to leave and sent Pei Shuo out, reminding him to be careful on the way. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a black shadow opposite him. He had not seen it even though he closed the door yesterday, so he sent a servant to take a look.
