Twist one with the scallion fingertips and taste it, the sweetness exudes a fragrance that is not greasy, bite it down, with a slight chewiness like candied fruit, when you swallow it, the whole mouth is full of gold Tangerine smells nice. It may be the first time Xiyan is making it. When the kumquats are boiled, there is too much rock sugar, which is too greasy. Except for this point, the other places are very good.
Xi Yan stared nervously at Chu Lian's expression, waiting for her evaluation.
After Chu Lian finished eating one, she nodded with a gentle smile, "Try it all!"
The other three geese had long been eager. After hearing Chu Lian's words, they all couldn't wait to pick up one and put it in their mouths. God knows, when Xiyan came in with this plate of honey-soaked kumquats, they would be surprised. Be attracted.
If kumquats are eaten directly, they will taste bitter and sour, but after being treated in this way, the original astringent and sour taste will disappear, and the unique fragrance and sweetness of kumquats will be highlighted.
A few geese just took a small bite, and their eyes lit up.
Ming Yan nodded shyly, just for a while, Chu Lian found that this maid was easily shy.
Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison. After eating the dim sum made by Chu Lian's "secret recipe", and then recalling the pumpkin dim sum just now, the geese realized why the third grandma said those dim sum were really mediocre.
"How?" Chu Lian asked with a smile.
A few goose heads ordered like chickens eating rice.
Seeing that they all seemed unsatisfied after eating, Chu Lian glanced at the small kumquats in a large clay pot over there, and told Xiyan, "Xiyan, you made all these small kumquats, remember the rock sugar this time." Put less, leave two small bowls, and I will send them to my grandmother and mother in a while, and share the rest with you."
Honey-soaked kumquats can not only be eaten as preserved fruits and snacks, but also can be brewed in fruit tea, which has the effect of regulating qi and reducing phlegm. Adding an appropriate amount of red dates is most suitable for women to eat.
Xiyan has just learned this recipe, so of course she wants to do it a few more times. It just so happens that the third grandma can use this honey-soaked kumquat to show off at the He family, which is a very honorable thing for a newlywed.
I don't know what Mrs. He said to He Changdi in the front yard, and he didn't come back until almost noon.
Although Chu Lian didn't want to talk to him much, but now they are newly married couples after all, so they still need the courtesy they should have.
The young couple ate in their yard at noon.
Send a little girl to the kitchen to give instructions, and after two quarters of an hour, there will be a girl from the kitchen carrying a food box to the yard.
Mingyan brought two little maidservants to arrange the meals, and then went into the inner room to help Chu Lian out to eat. He Changdi went to the study as soon as he came back from the old matriarch, and Nanny Gui had already gone to call.
Chu Lian didn't eat much in the morning, and Xi Yan went to the kitchen to get some snacks that didn't suit her appetite. Although she ate two honey-soaked kumquats, they still couldn't fill her stomach. She finally waited until lunch time, and she was hungry now. !
Full of anticipation, being helped by Ming Yan to the flower hall, Chu Lian glanced at the dining table from a long distance away.
Just now there was a pair of shining golden eyes, when she saw the four or five dishes on the table, she was like a little girl whose lollipop was snatched away, her eyes were full of disappointment.
This... this is what it is!
Obviously...the people in the Great Wu Dynasty are all dressed well, and everything looks like it was in the heyday of Tang Dynasty, but why is the food so rough!
Look, look, what's on the table!
I don't know what it is made of palm-sized pancakes, white meat pieces, cooked vegetables, and fish that have no appetite when lying in the soup...
There are five or six dishes in total, and the two bowls of white rice are the most eye-catching.
Now Chu Lian finally understands why the ordinary dim sum in Jing'an Bo's Mansion is famous. With these unappetizing meals at the bottom, even pancakes and fruits are probably famous in Shengjing!
Ming Yan who was standing behind saw his master's mouth twitch slightly, and his expression was not right. He thought that there were things that the third grandma would not eat in the food, so he hurriedly asked: "Third grandma, but the food is not to your liking?"
Chu Lian resisted the urge to vomit blood and shook his head with a smirk, "No."
While Ming Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he whispered in Chu Lian's ear: "Third Grandma, look, there is roasted venison! We can't eat this once in half a year in the British government!"
Chu Lian is ashamed, dare to feel that the hidden attributes of the people around her are all "foodies"
At this time, He Changdi happened to come in from the outside. He glanced sideways at Chu Lian, and then sat on the main seat with his robe lifted, completely unwilling to pay attention to his newlywed wife.
Chu Lian squatted down facing He Changdi, and sat on the embroidery pier next to him.
Fu Yan and Jing Yan who were waiting nearby handed the chopsticks to them.
Chu Lian frowned looking at the table of dishes, but didn't notice that He Changdi was secretly observing her from the corner of his eye at this time.
After seeing the expression on her face, he sneered in his heart, why? The "bumpkin" who just came out of the British government's mansion must have been scared stupid by their ordinary meal in Jing'anbo mansion! Ah! I don't know what to eat, it's really embarrassing!
As long as the nobles in Shengjing probably know that although the British government has a large population, it is no longer as prosperous as it was more than 20 years ago. If you want to find a word to describe the current British government, it would be "vain its table". This is all tacitly stated by the center of the aristocratic circle in Shengjing. When the old British Duke retires, if the British Duke has no descendants who can support him, then soon, the entire British Duke will perish in Shengjing, a prosperous capital, and become An insignificant speck in the dust of history.
Ah! There was a poisonous woman Chu Lian in the British government in the previous life, but with him in this life, he will never let those things happen again!
A cold light flashed in the depths of He Changdi's black eyes, and he thought it was ridiculous when his grandmother told him to live in harmony with Chu Lian when he was in Qingweitang.
If he could speak, he wished he could tell his family everything about his last life, so that his kind family could understand what a shameless poisonous woman Chu Lian was!
It's a pity that he can't. Not only will his family not believe it, but they will think that something is wrong with him.
Before he knew it, He Changdi's right hand holding the chopsticks was clenched tightly. The veins on the back of his hand were protruding, almost bending the chopsticks.
Some of his excessive and abnormal movements caught Chu Lian's attention. Seeing his handsome face slightly distorted, Chu Lian seemed to be holding back something, and frowned, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Chu Lian's voice, the tense heartstrings seemed to be hit hard. He Changdi became stiff for a moment, and he regained his composure after a few seconds.
"Huh, eat it! It's rare for you to eat these in the British government!" The cold voice seemed to be braving the cold.
In his previous life, when they were just married, he personally picked up vegetables for Chu Lian, and saw the bright and beautiful wife beside him eating the food on the table shyly, with a small mouth constantly moving, he just looked at it and his heart was full of tears. Overwhelmed with joyful emotions, the little wife must have suffered in the British government. Half of the dishes on the table went into her stomach, especially the two pieces of roasted venison, which she ate full of praise.
These images popped up in He Changdi's mind unconsciously, making him annoyed and hated.
Seeing that Chu Lian didn't move his chopsticks for a moment as if he was in a daze, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he suddenly took the two pieces of venison into his bowl.
Chu Lian: ...
Several geese: ...
Nanny Gui: ...
The corners of Chu Lian's mouth froze, she didn't understand what this young master was playing, please, the whole table dishes are not to her liking, ok, especially those two pieces of white venison that are disgusting at first sight , and now it just fits into He Changdi's bowl.
Chu Lian was in a happy mood, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some vegetables in front of him. Although they only put some salt and lard, they couldn't hide the natural taste of the fresh vegetables, um, not bad!
Chu Lian tasted a few other dishes on the table, either the taste was bland or only salty, and some ingredients lost their original umami taste because they were cooked for too long, all of them failed!
In my heart, I made a big mistake for these dishes, and in the end Chu Lian stretched out his chopsticks the most, but the plate of green vegetables in front of him.
After barely eating half a bowl of rice with green vegetables, Chu Lian couldn't eat any more.
Chu Lian thought nothing of it, but the expressions of the geese and Nanny Gui who were serving her changed.
My young mistress was so frightened by my uncle that she only dared to eat the vegetables in front of her, and my uncle was so vicious that he didn't want my young mistress to eat delicious food, how could this happen!
The third grandma is older than Huajiao, and she is just getting started, so how could she offend my uncle, so she doesn't let He Sanlang be treated like this, she just got married, and her life is like this, what will happen in the future!
Nanny Gui frowned tightly, already worried about Chu Lian.
Fuyan cocked her lips secretly, since my uncle doesn't like Miss Six, then she has a chance.
Standing behind Chu Lian, Ming Yan and Jing Yan were stunned by He Changdi's actions.
The two pieces of venison were quite large, and one could cover the entire bowl.
In Uncle Jing’an’s mansion, venison is often served on the table. He Changdi doesn’t like to eat it. He just did it impulsively to stimulate Chu Lian. Thinking about her eating well and sleeping well, he felt extremely comfortable .
In order to make Chu Lian eagerly watch him eat venison, He Sanlang suppressed his nausea, pretending to be very happy to enjoy it, and forced himself to eat both pieces of venison in big mouthfuls.
Afterwards, he felt nauseated after eating, so he swallowed the last mouthful after trying not to spit it out.
The food was not to my liking, and Chu Lian's appetite was small. In the end, she simply put down her chopsticks and stopped eating. She sat on the side and watched He Changdi eat venison. Knowing how this guy's brain grows, he clearly has a painful expression on his face that makes him want to cry, but he still wants to eat with a vicious look. In the end, because of humanitarian concerns, Chu Lian asked Ming Yan to pour a glass of warm water for him. He handed it to He Sanlang.
"Don't eat so fast, drink some water!" Chu Lian sympathized.
