It was a scent he had never smelled before, and he couldn't tell what it was, but it was very attractive anyway.
Lai Yue didn't eat at night, so he could bear it. He was going to wait until the masters had a rest to get some dry food to deal with it, but at this time, he smelled this attractive fragrance, almost in the next second, his The stomach growled along with "gurgling".
The small kitchen is on the upper air outlet, and the night wind is quite strong tonight, and the smell is constantly being sent here, and it is impossible to hide.
Empty stomach, smelling the smell of food that makes people salivate, this is simply the cruelest punishment.
I saw more and more people walking around the small kitchen window, looking straight at that direction, wishing that my eyes could stretch out, and go in to see what the third grandma and her servants were cooking.
He Changdi was reading in the study room. Because it was hot at night in early summer, the windows of the study room were half open.
He was absorbed in the book at first, but at some point a very special scent came in from the window. The scent was peculiar and alluring. He Sanlang, who claimed to have tasted most of the delicacies of the Great Wu Dynasty, had never smelled what it was. The kind of dishes that come out.
The smell is actually not very strong when it reaches the study room, but it is this faint scent that is more likely to seduce people.
He Changdi took a deep breath, turned his head and glanced at the two food boxes still on the desk, thinking about whether to eat more, but when he thought of the dishes in the food boxes, he lost his appetite at all.
Forget it, let's bear with it!
He Sanlang refocused his attention on the book, forcing himself to concentrate.
On the other side, Chu Lian led the maids to carry the food boxes towards the flower hall, and happened to pass by the study, and Lai Yue stared at the food box in Xi Yan's hand without blinking, almost swallowing his saliva.
Xi Yan got angry when she thought about her coming to ask about Lai Yue, immediately rolled her eyes at Lai Yue, raised her head and passed him proudly.
When the third grandma walked by with her maid, she could clearly smell the aroma of food, and she was getting more and more greedy.
But at this time, it's not easy to ask for it from the third grandma, isn't he still helping the third young master to guard the study door!
Chu Lian asked the maids to place the dishes on the table in the flower hall.
I saw a large plate of braised pork cut into square cubes exuding a rich aroma, a Kung Pao chicken, a sweet and sour cabbage shreds, and a simple egg soup.
Xi Yan gave Chu Lian another bowl of japonica rice.
As soon as this dish was placed in the flower hall, the whole flower hall was filled with a strong fragrance.
Nanny Gui and the big maids didn't eat either, Chu Lian sat in the main seat, glanced at the girls staring at the table, couldn't help swallowing, and smiled, "You are all hungry, sit down together eat."
As soon as this sentence came out, Nanny Gui stopped her and said, "Third grandma, we are now in the Jing'anbo mansion. You are a newlywed, how can you have no dignity, how can the master eat with the slaves, if it spreads Well, what will others say."
Chu Lian was helpless, and also understood that Nanny Gui was right. Seeing that Nanny Gui was also greedy for the food, she still remained motionless.
"Okay, then I'll eat first. I've cooked a lot of everything. After I finish eating, you can stay in the flower hall and eat."
Nanny Gui nodded, and did not stop her this time.
In fact, she was also envious of this food that she had never seen before. When she was in the small kitchen just now, the braised pork was ready, and the third grandma asked them to taste it. It was really delicious, not worse than the roasted venison! Even more flavorful.
I thought that the dishes made of white pork must be greasy and hard to eat, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious. After eating one piece of meat, I want to eat the second piece, and I can't stop at all.
Nanny Gui is an old nanny in the British government, and she used to serve Chu Lian's biological mother. She is well-informed and self-controlled, but she couldn't hold back her appetite even after eating the braised pork.
Chu Lian held a bowl of rice and ate the dishes in front of her. Although the taste of these dishes was not as good as modern ones due to the lack of many ingredients, being able to eat such meals in the Great Wu Dynasty was enough to make her happy .
I came here inexplicably and cleverly, and this was my first meal.
However, Chu Lian didn't find it surprising that she was used to this kind of food. As usual, with a bowl of food, her stomach was probably full.
When Chu Lian was eating, Nanny Gui hesitated for a moment, but still suggested: "Third Mistress, why don't you call the Third Young Master to have dinner together?"
Chu Lian raised her head in confusion, opened her big bright eyes, as if she really didn't understand what Nanny Gui said, and said strangely: "Didn't he eat in the study? There are two food boxes! One A person's appetite is limited, so it's better not to let him last. Besides, it's not good to eat too much at night."
What she said, it seemed that she was thinking more about He Sanlang.
Chu Lian curled her lips, thinking, I don't care if you don't let me eat, and you don't want to eat what I cook.
A small bowl of milky egg soup was filled with a spoon, and Chu Lian was full after drinking it beautifully.
There are still a lot of three dishes and one soup left, because I originally wanted to bring a few maids to eat, so I made more on purpose. How much can Chu Lian eat by himself? I didn't move much.
Chu Lian was afraid that Nanny Gui and the maids would be restrained if she was there, so she went into the bedroom to lie down after eating.
Seeing that Chu Lian was not there, the geese felt much more at ease. They glanced at each other, laughed a few times, and each took a bowl of rice and sat down to eat. Nanny Gui naturally sat down too.
As soon as Fuyan Jingyan took the first bite, his eyes lit up, and then the frequency of chopsticks reaching into the various bowls became much faster.
Jing Yan stuffed his mouth full of rice, without the restraint of a big maid from a wealthy family, "Sister Xi Yan, did you cook this meat? How could it be so fragrant and delicious! I have never eaten such delicious meat. !"
The corner of Xiyan's mouth twitched, "Actually, I didn't do it, it was taught by the third grandma!"
Nanny Gui nodded, "You all take good care of the third grandma, maybe whenever the third grandma is happy, she will teach you a few secret recipes, and you won't even have to worry about the livelihood of your younger generations in the future."
Fu Yan's eyes flickered in the dark.
Although the dishes on each plate were full, they were overwhelmed by Nanny Gui and the four maids.
The five of them clasped their stomachs and yelled to make it to the end, but none of them said they regretted it.
Ming Yan stood up from the table, and exaggeratedly puffed out her stomach, which provoked Fu Yan and Xi Yan to make fun of her.
"Look at what you're eating, be careful that you're overstretched!" Nanny Gui intentionally frightened Ming Yan with a straight face.
Ming Yan was not convinced, "Nurse, it's so delicious, I couldn't hold back my mouth once I got greedy."
Nanny Gui looked at the dishes, and there were only a few pieces of braised pork and some soup left, and she said to Xiyan, "Xiyan, please send the rest of this dish to the small kitchen, it can be used to make rice tomorrow." eat."
The dishes made by the secret recipe that the third grandma said were so delicious that Mammy Gui felt that it would be a pity to waste even a little minced meat soup.
