While thinking about it, she frowned when she saw Xie Xun pick up a shrimp and put it in the bowl.

Jiang Shuyao just took the shrimp to the shrimp line, while the shrimp Xie Xun had eaten since he was a child was handled very cleanly.

He didn't like someone standing beside him while eating, and now there are no servants to peel the shrimp.

Jiang Shuyao didn't know what to say, so he picked up a shrimp and said to him, "Let's see how I eat it."

"Bite off the head... Bit off the tail... The skin is crispy and it comes off as soon as you touch it." She said while demonstrating, "Look, it's ready to be peeled off."

The corners of Xie Xun's brows jumped, this gesture is too indecent!

Jiang Shuyao didn't care what he thought, he started to eat in a storm again, Xie Xun hesitated and followed her to learn. He had never been so particular when he was traveling abroad. He was too rigid but rather old-fashioned.

After he figured it out, he learned Jiang Shuyao's action to peel shrimp with his teeth. The first one was difficult, the second one was barely used, and the third one gradually became smooth... I don't know how many peeled, but slowly stacked on the plate a hill.

Jiang Shuyao buried her head to eat, but after a while she realized that something was wrong. Why was there not a single shrimp in the pot? !

She looked at Xie Xun, good guy, it's all in his stomach.

She speeded up the speed, and the more she ate, the faster Xie Xun was influenced by her, so he picked up the speed.

In the end, he couldn't take it any longer, Jiang Shuyao stopped his chopsticks, and when he looked at the dishes in the bowl, only the bottom was left. When she was out of the pot, she thought that she was doing too much, and it was estimated that she and Xie Xun could only eat half of it. I didn't expect that this person could eat so much.

After eating, Jiang Shuyao went to the yard for a stroll to digest food, Xie Xun went back to the study to read, and only sneaked out of the study when she was no longer in the yard.

He was even more panicked than Jiang Shuyao. He ate a lot during the meal at the Uncle's Mansion in Xiangyang today, and he had another meal in the evening, which was enough for two days.

Xie Xun went out of the yard and went around the outer yard. Just as he felt a little more comfortable, he was held down by the elder brother and second brother who was watching the moon in the pavilion next to the small bamboo forest. Stomach cramps.

He went back to the study to wash up and go to bed. He turned left and right and still couldn't fall asleep. He simply got up and went outside to practice swords for a while. The night wind blew, and he became more energetic.

After such a tossing, he fell asleep only after four watch, and he had to be on duty the next day, so of course he got up late.

"Master, grab some snacks to eat on the way." Zhiyan, the personal servant, shouted after him.

Xie Xun adjusted his cuffs as he walked, and replied, "I won't eat it."

"My lord, it's better to pad your belly."

"No." Xie Xun walked to the door and returned, almost bumping into Zhiyan, "Where's my jade pendant?"

"This is this." Zhimo ran from behind the screen and handed it to Xie Xunyupei.

Xie Xun put it on and hurriedly walked outside.

Zhi Yan was still chattering behind him: "Then go around the end of the alley, and buy a sesame cake."

Xie Xun said impatiently, "I see."

The master and servant scurried away and chased after each other, and a curious voice came from not far away: "Hey, you're actually staying in bed too?"

Xie Xun hurriedly stopped and looked sideways.

Jiang Shuyao held a burrito in each hand, the corner of his mouth was dipped in sauce, still chewing, and his cheeks were bulging like a hamster.

She was followed by four maids, each handed a portion, and they ate happily.

"I'm not staying in bed." Xie Xun explained weakly.

Jiang Shuyao had an "I understand" look in her eyes, and was as enthusiastic and chatty as an aunt who was walking around early in the morning: "Hey, I haven't eaten yet. Would you like to have one?"

Xie Xun was about to refuse, when Jiang Shuyao handed him the pancake fruit in his left hand: "Here."

Xie Xun was forcibly stuffed a copy, and the oiled paper was cut to a large size, folded one by one, and tucked it into his sleeve.

He had no time to delay, so he thanked him and hurried away.

Jiang Shuyao looked at his leaving back and sighed, "It's nice not to have to go to work."

She took a big bite of the pancake fruit, um... It's almost tasteless, it's better to wrap it in spicy strips.

I think of the pancake fruit stand in front of the school back then, I could smell the fragrance from far away, the crust was thin and soft, I sipped an egg, the egg smells overflowing, brushed with sauce, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and sandwiched with spicy strips The ham lettuce and the crispy, the heat swirls in the mouth in one bite, and rushes to the school while breathing.

"How is it?" She turned to ask a few maids.

"Well, it's delicious, it tastes so fresh."

"The sauce tastes good too. It would be better if you brush it more to make the porridge."

"I like this crunchy inside, with a crunch when you bite into it."

Jiang Shuyao was amused: "It's delicious, just spread a few more after eating."

Xie Xun looked at it was still early, he breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down the speed of the horse, and turned from the end of the street.

He loosened the reins, let the horse find his way to the imperial city, and then took out the hot pancake fruit from his sleeve.

Someone behind him called him: "Bo Yuan!"

After he paused, the man ran over on horseback, saw that he was holding a cake in his hand, and said with a smile, "You don't even need breakfast."

This person is the grandson of the prime minister, and he is on duty in the Zhan Shi Mansion with him.

"Me too, I just bought mutton biscuits at the end of the alley." He shook the biscuits in his hand and took a bite. "What did you buy?"

Xie Xun shook his head: "I didn't buy it, I brought it from home."

Lin Cheng said enviously: "Oh, I'm tired of eating the cakes at the end of the alley, it would be great if my big kitchen could make cakes for me too, but unfortunately my mother keeps telling me to get up early to eat, not to buy them outside. Eating pancakes."

Xie Xun heard that he had misunderstood, and it was hard to explain that Jiang Shuyao forced it on him, so he could only laugh.

Lin Cheng didn't ask any more questions, just shut up and started eating the cake.

Xie Xun also started eating with him, and took a bite of the pancake fruit.

The sauce is rich and fragrant, the outer layer of the tenderloin wrapped in the innermost layer is fried to a golden brown, and the meat inside is fresh and tender.

He seemed to understand why Lin Cheng liked to have breakfast while riding a horse.

In the early morning, the capital was not very lively, there were sparse pedestrians on the road, the shrill conversations were drowned out by the cries of hawking and the chirping of birds, and the smoke from cooking was mixed together, which could not hide the green forest in the distance. Let the horse under him walk forward leisurely, take a bite of the steaming burrito, and eat it like a world of fireworks.

Lin Cheng ate the last bite of the sesame cake, smashed it, and complained, "This mutton is getting less and less." After speaking, he glanced at the pancake fruit in Xie Xun's hand, "Bo Yuan, you pancake. What's in there?"

Xie Xun replied, "egg cake, meat, vegetable leaves."

"I heard you biting, what is that?"

"It must be fried pasta or something."

"Oh~ can you still make it at your house tomorrow? Can you bring me one?"

Xie Xun hesitated: "I don't know, I probably won't do it."

"Okay, if you do, give me a copy."

The two chatted and rode side by side towards the imperial city.

Sure enough, Jiang Shuyao didn't get up early the next day, and Xie Xun was inexplicably relieved. If she did, he wouldn't be able to open the mouth to grab two pancakes.

Jiang Shuyao lives in Tingzhuyuan, eats, drinks, sleeps and sleeps every day. She has a very nourishing life. Apart from being stared at by her grandmother to manage the account books of the dowry shop, it can be said that her life is so nourishing to the point of boredom.

When people are free, they like to fiddle with delicious food. After the milk and cream bought by Angelica were delivered last time, she started tossing about pastries.

Although ancient times lacked tools, human resources were abundant. The four maids came in turn, and after two hours, they finally sent a large pot of egg whites. The bakery that was built last time came in handy, and the cake liquid was put in to bake, and soon the whole yard was filled with a strong sweet fragrance.

Everyone in the yard smelled greedy. After the cake was released, Jiang Shuyao gave each of them a small piece, and by the way, had someone send some to the two little nephews in the big room.

Xu's life has been quite comfortable recently. After the twins were called back from Jiang Shuyao last time, the two obediently agreed not to look for her again. Jiang Shuyao also quietly huddled in her yard and did not come out to make trouble. It's like there is no such person.

It's not enough to say how much she hates Jiang Shuyao, she just hates it. Now the whole capital is waiting to see the joke of Xie Guogong's mansion, and they are all guessing when Xie Xun will divorce his wife. Her eldest son has also reached the age to say kiss, but because Jiang Shuyao is a laughingstock, when others mention her eldest son, the first thing that comes to mind is not his talent and demeanor, but "Xie Ye is the nephew of Xie Xun who married Jiang Shuyao, right?"

She thought so, and became angry again, and beckoned to call the maid: "Is there nothing happening over there recently?"

Before the maid could answer, someone ran in from outside to report, "Madam, someone came from the third lady's yard and said they were bringing some snacks to the two young masters."

"Dim sum?" Xu Shi sneered in his heart, they really don't lack in their big rooms. Xie Ye loves his two younger brothers, and every time he goes out, he always brings back some Babaofang's new dim sum for them to taste. She also likes sweets, and there are cakes of different flavors on the table every day, but the two children don't like them very much, so she has to coax them to feed them every time.

"Yes, ma'am, you see..."

Xu Shi waved his hand and didn't care: "Send it over, you can't return it to her. But don't talk too much. If Ah Zhao and Ah Yao don't want to taste it, don't force it."

The maid should be, led the maid of Tingzhuyuan to the room where Xie Zhao and Xie Yao practiced calligraphy, and let the cake be put aside on the tea table and then retired.

Mr. Xu exposed the stubbornness and continued to reconcile the accounts. After two sticks of incense, Xie Zhao ran over and threw himself into her arms.

Xu shi pushed him away, and said with a plain face: "Why did you forget the rules and etiquette, you have been enlightened, and you are no longer a child."

Xie Zhao was still smiling, approached again, raised his hand, and coquettishly said, "Mother, have some snacks."

Xu scolded his face, but his heart turned into a pool of water. He didn't look at what kind of dessert he handed to his mouth, and took a bite with his hand, only to realize that the taste was wrong.

Different from the thick and dense feeling of pastries eaten before, the pastries are extremely fluffy and soft, delicate and sweet, with a faint milky fragrance.

She looked down at the pastry in Xie Zhao's hand, which was a style she had never seen before. The color is bright yellow, the bottom is brown, and it looks very fluffy.

"Is it tasty?"

There is still a touch of sweetness in the mouth, and the cake has a fine texture. It does not need to be pressed with clear tea like the solid pastries that are usually eaten.

Xu replied, "It's delicious."

Xie Zhao's eyes laughed like a crescent moon: "That mother has another bite."

The maids were all amused by his appearance, and cheered: "Little young master is really filial, and if you have something delicious, you always think of your wife."

Xu Shi loved hearing this, she smiled and took another bite, savoring the cake carefully. The appearance is unique and the taste is unique. Is it a new pastry from Babaofang? No, maybe it's Zhenguolou...

Xu Shi thought about it, and heard Xu Zhao say: "This is what the third aunt just ordered to send. I just took a bite and brought it to my mother to eat."

and many more.

Three aunts

"Cough cough!" Xu Shi coughed violently, his face flushed red, "cough, water... cough... water...",,
