"Are you so delicious?"
Bai Lian ignored me, turned her back and ate her own food. I leaned over to look at her again, and she gave me a blank look: "No rules, don't talk while eating, don't you know?"
I just remembered Director Bai's quirk. She is not only strict with others, but also very strict with herself. No wonder I remember when she was in Wuhua County, she never made a sound when eating, and she refused to answer even when I spoke. I thought it was because she was in a bad mood. Was it because she was used to eating silent meals since she was a child
But seeing her chewing slowly, as if she was eating bird's nest and shark fins, I looked at the boss again with impatience: "You eat like this, it's a waste, look at it."
Under her surprised eyes, she grabbed her spoon and filled a spoonful of soup mixed with duck blood. Ignoring her protest, she smiled and said, "Answer me first, what is the opposite of small?"
"Big?"
Then I handed a spoonful of the soup straight to Director Bai's slightly opened mouth. She quickly twisted her eyebrows to stop her, but I had no choice but to stop immediately after I stretched out the spoon. A big mouthful of duck blood soup had already entered my stomach.
"You, what are you doing!" Bai Lian glared at me slightly angrily, "Almost choked me to death."
"How's it going? Isn't this delicious?"
"Who cares if it's good for you! It's not safe at all!" After speaking, he blew the heat from the soup bowl and took a small sip, but he began to frown when he compared the taste. She thought about it for a while, and then said again: "It seems to be more delicious just now, why?"
"This is the essence of street food. It's made and eaten now, fried and sold now, and you need to eat big and chew boldly. This is not a palace feast. It's what the common people eat, and they use ordinary things. Materials. Follow the court etiquette as you do and eat slowly, what can you taste?"
Bai Lian looked at me suspiciously, not knowing whether what I said was true or false, or whether I was eating slowly with small mouthfuls of air. It's just that occasionally when I'm not paying attention, the thin-skinned manager Bai still takes a big mouthful. He can't help covering his small mouth. He feels that the taste is wonderful, and he feels that what I said is not entirely wrong. Say: You kid can say something nice every now and then. It's just that she insisted not to speak while eating, so she tried her best not to say it.
I smiled and ate the vermicelli soup in my bowl, and said, "As long as you change the way of eating, your perception of the same food can be very different. This is the food scripture of the old glutton. But you are in the palace. What you eat is delicacy and all kinds of flavors, you naturally don’t feel good about the food of the common people.”
Bai Lian was stunned for a moment, then smiled like a snow-white face, "I think so." Her tone was very soft, and there was a dreamy and fragile feeling in the noisy market.
This time I was stunned. I blinked and said, "Do you really think the duck blood vermicelli soup is better than the Jiulong phoenix shrimp and the red plum cold fish maw?" I don't even think so! If there is a chance, I will also ask the master chef to show me a hand!
Bai Lian held the sea bowl, looked at the clear soup in the bowl, nodded earnestly, and smiled sweetly: "I really think."
Her tone is very serious, but I don't understand what kind of past lies behind this firmness.
Seeing me stunned, Bai Lian thought I didn't believe it, so she smiled and said, "Since you took me to eat the King of Snacks, I'll take you to eat my favorite food too."
"Then don't you want the one in your bowl?"
Don't give it to me! I winked and hoped that Bai Lian could understand my good intentions.
But seeing Bai Lian looking at the bowl of the sea, she pursed her strong lip line: "Don't waste food." Then she gritted her teeth, like a wine ox, raised her head and started drinking.
This move was beyond my expectations, including the three aunts, four aunts, and five young daughters-in-law who were watching the play next door. Seeing this lovely girl, Lu Zhishen, pouring fans soup on her upper body, they all scoffed at me. They all said that what a man and a man do, what is this called? Usually, my daughter-in-law is definitely not full, and she is starving like this.
But Bai Lian's face turned a little blue after drinking, and he wiped his lips and said quite boldly: "Let's go." He took my hand and rushed into the wave of pedestrians...
"biscuits?"
As a result, I traveled through three crowds of people and took me to a place that I had never expected—it was actually a biscuits stall.
Bai Lian smiled. Bai Lian is in a very good mood today. Her smile today is more than I have known her for a few months.
Bai Lian said to the uncle of the street vendor: "Fortunately, it is here, uncle, please give him a sesame cake."
This uncle was quite cheerful, he packed a sesame cake and handed it to me: "Young man, you have a sesame cake."
Go! Go! Go! You are only one biscuits, your whole family has biscuits!
If you really want to give it, Mr. Bai, just give Liu Yuan a sesame cake. I think he is the best match among the six doors.
I called out Qu: "What about the delicacy we promised?!"
"A bowl of tofu soup, a plate of green beans, and a bowl of rice." She looked at me with puzzled eyes and smiled: "This is my last meal before I leave the palace. What I usually eat is not a delicacy, I don't How to go out of the palace, but I guess my food is probably similar to that of ordinary people."
Bad... quite a lot! In your eyes, the common people eat beans to live their lives! Whose people are so stingy! Even Pork Rong, who sells pork in the vegetable market, gnaws at three kilograms of pig trotters a day, and now he is fatter than the pigs he raised. "Now the food in the palace has become so stingy?"
"It's not stingy." There was a hint of loneliness in Bai Lian's tone, and some complicated feelings that I couldn't hear, "It's saving. One porridge and one meal, when thinking is hard-won. One needle and one thread, constant thoughts and material resources are difficult, This is what the mother said to me." As if she was reciting the creed of life, she said this common saying before telling me.
"The meals at the director level are actually very rich. Each meal has five or six dishes. If you are not satisfied, you can ask the imperial kitchen to change it. I actively asked to reduce it."
"Then why?"
Bai Lian didn't answer me directly, she gently tore off a bit of the biscuits in my hand and chewed them in her mouth. Different from the etiquette chewing just now, this time, it seemed that every chew she chewed was deeply recorded in her heart. It can be seen that Director Bai's childhood must have something to do with biscuits... I mean the indissoluble bond.
"Let me tell you a story. When I was first promoted to general manager, the people under me were afraid of me, so they held a banquet for me. I was invited to go, and I was good at it, but in the end I lost my temper. It's still a riot."
It's actually quite common for Manager Bai to lose his temper, and it's been no less than ten times a day today. Of course, in addition to her unique characteristics of being fair and impartial, abiding by palace rules, and being strict with others and self-discipline, it is also because her old man's face is very thin, and she will be struck by her if she is not careful. I don't know which unlucky eunuch committed the crime that day.
Bai Lian shook his head and shattered my guesses: "No one did anything wrong, they are all very well behaved. But at the end, I saw the food at the banquet, and there was more than half of it left, and then I got angry."
I really didn't expect this reason, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is this?"
Bai Lian touched his nose embarrassedly, and smiled bitterly: "There is no special reason... I just don't want to throw it away, I think it's a pity. When I saw those meals, some of them hadn't touched a single chopstick, and some of them just ate a little bit. A little. But they are all thrown there. If these are used to help the refugees, I don’t know how many people will survive.”
I fell silent and listened quietly to what she said.
"I don't know when it was a habit, but I just don't want to waste it. Before I was promoted to the general manager, when I was the deputy general manager, I actually had too much food to eat. At that time, I asked them to deliver less every day. , Gradually, my food became what it is now, but I think it's enough."
Bai Lian pursed her lips, and her charming profile face showed a unique toughness. It seems to be a bamboo in the mountains and forests, the wind wants to destroy it, but it is strong and strong.
She said slightly bitterly: "I used to live in a refugee camp when I was a child. Before, I only had one meal for ten days. That meal was obtained by stealing, robbing, or kidnapping. I, I am long gone. I remember when she gave me a sesame cake to eat. It was the first time someone cared about me since I lost my relatives. It was also at that time that she told me that a grain of rice, a piece of rice Needle and thread have their roots and origins, and they are people's sweat and hard work. Therefore, my life now is often not hard. On the contrary, I feel that what I have done is not enough, and I have not been able to repay the lady and the son."
"It's no wonder that you can let Master Zi call you Sister Lian, and you still have such a good relationship with him. It turns out that you are like Feng Huang... half of Concubine Huang's adopted daughter, er, adopted son."
This sentence is too eloquent! It's a trap question!
Chapter 64 I Want To Win The Heart Of Beauty
"But I said it, Director Bai, it's not me talking about you, no matter how much you love saving." I grabbed Bai Lian's hand seriously, her skin was close, and her face flushed instantly. But this time, there was still no abnormality that appeared before, but it was very common that I took it by my hand. I took her lotus arm, which was as thin as a bud, and shook it twice. Although the sleeve tube was loose, it was larger than the original design. It has to be widened a lot, showing the tenderness of her arms.
"You're skinny if you're skinny, so give yourself two bites of meat anyway."
Bai Lian pulled his arm back and gave me a look: "Don't worry about it. How much I eat has nothing to do with you."
"I can't bear it." I stared at her face and imitated her tone just now: "Look, it's a pity."
Bai Lian's pretty face immediately turned red like fire: "You, you, don't you, do you know me... in the end..."
I watched her perform a face change in confusion, but I still didn't know what she was talking about.
At this time, I saw a group of bear children running over in front of me, shouting: "Come on, come on, catch the goldfish!"
"What is fishing, fishing for goldfish! Bring me one!"
Like a rabbit with an arrow in the butt, Bai Lian quickly ran into the group of bear children, as if avoiding my sight and never looking at me again.
Strange, I kindly encouraged her to eat more nutritious food, why the fuss about Mr. Bai's reaction.
And, the weirdest thing is...
