"No, no need, I'll just take a look, just take a look." Grandma Tao looked at the crowded Faji bun shop with reluctant eyes, but she moved a small step reluctantly.
At a location not far from Faji, they finally stopped, still stopped and looked around to get the buns, everyone had satisfied and happy expressions on their faces.
"Alas..." Grandma Tao sighed and shook her head.
"It's so fragrant! It's fresh meat buns just out of the oven. There are pork belly, dried plums, fungus, dried bamboo shoots, ham, dried shrimps, vermicelli, dried tofu, minced ginger, and pepper!" Gentle twitched her little nose, Close your eyes, there is a steaming scent in the air, which makes the gluttons in people's stomachs turn into saliva, which overflows in the mouth non-stop, swallowing and swallowing.
"You girl, everyone says that a greedy cat has a sharp nose, but your nose has stolen the craftsmanship of all the cooks in the world! Haha, go and have a look!" Wen Shouzheng also smelled the irresistible aroma of this delicious bun, and touched it. Rubbing his belly, he pulled Wenrou and went straight to Fat Kee Bun Shop.
"Father, this steamed stuffed bun is really delicious. The skin is thin and the buns are big! The key is that the dough is just right, and it looks like the dough was mixed with warm water!" Rourou sipped the Faji pork bun that he just got. While carefully trying to figure out the cooking method.
"Well, yes, usually our steamed buns are wrapped with leavened dough. Although it tastes delicious and soft, it's still not as soft and hollow as his Faji!" Wen Shouzheng was full of praise.
"Grandma Tao, so you came here, come here, today's buns are my treat, you can eat one!" The woman who spoke just now took a steaming big meat bun from her bosom, and handed it to That Grandma Tao standing next to Wen's father and daughter.
"No, no, no, no." Grandma Tao waved her hands again and again, her eyes were clearly greedy, but her mouth was very firm in her refusal.
"Grandma Tao, it's okay! It's okay to eat one!" the woman persuaded again.
"Oh... no way, I'll be bloated after eating, and I'll suffer!" Grandma Tao gently pushed away the big meat bun that reached her mouth, shook her head and sighed, and walked away slowly.
"Bloating? Such a delicious big meat bun, how can you have a bloated belly?" Ruan suddenly stopped eating the buns, turned around and asked the woman, "Auntie, why didn't that granny eat this delicious big meat bun just now? Why do you say you have a bloated stomach? Could it be that the steamed stuffed buns in Faji are not clean?"
"You girl, you don't come from a local with your accent! The steamed stuffed buns here are the best in Beijing. Haven't you seen the scene of queuing up to buy steamed stuffed buns? How about it? It's delicious!" The woman looked up and down at the clothed bun. Rourou, seeing the half-eaten big meat bun in Rourou's hand again, asked with a smile.
"It's delicious! But that grandma..." Rourou became curious.
"Hi! That's Grandma Tao. She has children and daughters at home, and she has no worries about food and clothing. It is reasonable to say that she is a happy life, but she has a bad stomach these years, and she dare not eat what she wants. I heard that she would feel bloated after eating. , that is not smooth, you have to rely on medicine to help excrete it. The doctor is also helpless, what a pity!" The woman sighed softly as she spoke.
"Oh? May I ask where Grandma Tao's family lives?" Wenrou asked curiously.
"Here, just turn the corner ahead, and the house with the yard is the Tao family." The woman raised her hand and pointed.
"Oh, it's quite close!" Rourou said to herself, and found that the place where her house was staying was not far from the Tao's house.
"Rou'er, let's go, we should go back." Wen Shouzheng urged from the side after finishing eating the buns in his hand.
"Come on, Dad!" He replied softly and crisply, but his heart was still thinking about that helpless Grandma Tao.
The father and daughter brought the meat buns they bought, and as soon as they entered the door, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
In the courtyard, Mrs. Zhou served refreshments, and Wen Ting chatted with him from the side. The two figures sitting in the middle, one big and one small, one tall and one short, were none other than Sheng Yaoshan and the Ninth Prince Liu Xian!
"Sister Wen! You're back!" Hearing the movement, Liu Xian turned around cleverly, and immediately staggered over, plunged into Gentle's arms and kept rubbing against each other, like a cute girl who had been parted from her master for a long time Beloved, intimate, and the long-lost reunited director act like a baby.
"General Sheng, why do you have time to take His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince out of the palace today?" Wen Wen gently scratched Liu Xian's neck, tickled him slightly, and then asked pleasantly.
"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince missed Miss Wen for a long time, and he entered the palace today, but couldn't resist his pleading, so he informed the Holy Majesty, took him out on the pretext of going out of the palace, and will send him back later." Sheng Yaoshanlang Smiling, reveling in this picture similar to the deep love between siblings.
"Xian'er, don't go back! Xian'er, don't go back! Although everything in the palace is good, the only thing is that the food is not good! The food cooked by those cooks is all the same taste, how can there be any craftsmanship like that of Sister Wen? Sister Wen, Xianer is hungry I haven't eaten a full meal for several days..." Liu Xian raised his chubby round face coquettishly, and pouted his red lips.
Wen Rou gently lifted his small round face, almost bursting out laughing.
It doesn't look like it's been a few days without a full meal, but it's even more round than before. The two pink cheeks are like ripe apples in autumn, so tempting, people can't help but want to eat them Satisfy your hunger in one bite.
Whether it's complexion or body shape, it's obviously a level higher than outside the palace. It's only been a few days since Liu Xian has such a change. It seems that the food in the palace really nourishes people! It seems that those weight loss and healthy recipes outside the palace are all in vain!
Smiling gently, she shook her head, the two dimples on her face were even sweeter.
"Sister Wen, it smells so good! What delicious food did you bring back?" Liu Xian stroked Wen Rou's body for a while, and soon found the paper bag full of Faji meat buns hidden behind him.
"Seeing His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, I was so happy that I just focused on talking, but I forgot the delicacy I just got, Faji's meat buns, everyone should try it!" Wen Rou suddenly seemed to remember something, and quickly took the bag from behind. Just wrap it in paper, peel it off layer by layer, and distribute it to everyone present to taste.
"Delicious, this is delicious! As soon as I see Sister Wen, there is something delicious, hehe, that's great!" Liu Xian ate his mouth full of oil, smacked his mouth, and couldn't stop praising.
"Don't say that the steamed stuffed buns in Faji are really delicious. I passed by frequently in the past, and I only saw the crowds queuing up to buy them. I thought it was the common people praising each other, but I never thought it would be so delicious!" Sheng Yaoshan finished one in three mouthfuls. Baozi wiped his mouth and smiled.
"That's right! Eat it among the people!" The gentle and charming little dimple complements her beauty without makeup even more, it's astonishingly beautiful.
By the way, General Sheng, you often walk around the capital and ask you about someone. I don't know where the Nangong Imperial Physician lives. Do you know where he lives? "Gentle and abruptly asked Sheng Yaoshan where the Nangong family lived.
"Miss Wen is unwell?" Sheng Yaoshan was startled, what's the purpose of asking the imperial doctor's residence so politely
"The general misunderstood. The little girl was thinking that when she was in the provincial capital, she was lucky enough to get to know Sister Xue'er in the Nangong Imperial Physician's house, and she was often taken care of by Sister Xue'er. Now that she is in the capital, she has to come to the door in person no matter what the reason is." Just go and visit!" He replied gently and thoughtfully.
"Well, what Ms. Wen reminded is that Yaoshan has also been helped by Ms. Nangong many times. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. It is better to visit now. It happens that the carriage of my house is outside. After sending off the Ninth Prince When His Highness returns to the palace, Miss Wen can go with her." Sheng Yaoshan suggested.
"It's so good, the little girl is going to prepare something." Rourou was overjoyed, she got up and was about to go to the kitchen to get some delicious meals, thinking that as a cook and living in a foreign land, she couldn't get decent jewelry When it comes out, the only thing that can be handed out is delicious food.
"Not good! It's not good at all!" Just as Sheng Yaoshan was about to go out to prepare the car, and turned around gently to go to the kitchen, Liu Xian refused abruptly, and his whole body shook like a round rattle.
"Xian'er finally went out of the palace once. He just ate a bun. You guys are going to send Xian'er back to the palace! Xian'er doesn't want it! Xian'er wants to go with Sister Wen and Brother Yaoshan. Wherever you go, Xianer will take care of you." Where are you going!" Liu Xian said coquettishly.
"..." Sheng Yaoshan was not afraid of anything, especially when he went into battle to kill the enemy, but he just couldn't stand Liu Xian's sugary, soft and hard foam. As soon as this little cute baby acted like a baby, his majestic Zhou Wukui had no way of parrying him at all.
"Okay, okay! Then take His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince to play with Sister Xue'er!" Gentle scratched Liu Xian's chubby little nose.
Sheng Yaoshan calculated the time and thought that it would not take much time to get from Nangong Imperial Physician's residence to the palace again and again, and seeing Liu Xian's well-behaved appearance, his heart softened for a moment, so he agreed.
On the way, I bought some decent gifts, and brought Wen Wen and Liu Xian to the residence of Nangong Imperial Physician together.
Coincidentally, Nangong Imperial Physician was on duty today, and he had not yet returned to the mansion in the palace. The porter opened the door, recognized General Sheng at a glance, asked why he came, and went directly to the front hall, eager to call Nangong Xue out.
A familiar figure with a big belly passed by the front hall unintentionally, but his eyes lit up.
"Miss Wen! General Sheng!"
"Chef Liu!" Rourou immediately recognized the fat figure outside the front hall, and greeted him with some excitement.
"Chef Liu, are you still in good health?" Sheng Yaoshan was overjoyed, and immediately followed, and patted Liu Yidao on the shoulder. After a few months, Chef Liu seemed to be stronger than in the provincial capital .
Although it is midsummer, Chef Liu still wears a thin scarf around his neck. From others' point of view, it may be a chef's unique sweat scarf, but Ruanrou and Sheng Yaoshan know that behind the scarf is the blood that sealed his throat. Mark of.
"Okay, everything is fine! Here, look!" Chef Liu said excitedly, loosening the scarf around his neck lightly, revealing an inconspicuous scar. If he didn't know the truth, he might think it was a birthmark.
"Miss Nangong has a delicate mind and insists on having me around this, saying that she is afraid of the scorching sun in midsummer, and there will be some pigmentation! It doesn't look good. Hey! Tell me, I'm a cook, and I'm not a big girl, so I don't care if it looks good or not! "Liu Yidao smiled honestly.
It can be seen that in the past few months, he has been following Nangongxue, and he really feels at ease!
"Chef Liu, your knife... I..." Rourou looked at Liu Yidao, suddenly a little embarrassed, lowered her eyelids for a moment, and her speech was not fluent.
"Hi! If Ms. Wen didn't tell me, I would have forgotten! Now I'm cooking in Nangong Mansion, and there are all kinds of kitchen utensils here. The knife must have no special use. It's just left by my ancestors. Just think about it. Ms. Wen can just drop by and bring it to me some other day, or Ms. Wen can leave your address, so I can drop by to get it when I go out to buy someday!" Liu Yidao said bluntly.
"Chef Liu, that dark iron kitchen knife..." Ruan Rou was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond to Liu Yidao's words.
"If Ms. Wen likes it, or uses it conveniently, you can use it for as long as possible. I have nothing to worry about if Ms. Wen uses it every day! The knife is not afraid of being used, but it is afraid of being put aside. If it is not used one day, it will be destroyed. Rust and blunt, losing its original brilliance and sharpness!" Liu Yidao still smiled heartily.
"Chef Liu, I'm sorry, that knife... I lost it..." The gentle voice was so soft that I could hardly hear myself, but Liu Yidao could hear it clearly.
"What! Lost it!" Liu Yidao exclaimed in surprise!
