Chapter 62 I suddenly felt that the Fourth Master was cute.
Wen Jiu listened and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Eunuch Sun, for the reminder."
He meant well, telling her that the Fourth Master didn't seem to like eating shrimps and crabs, and she appreciated it.
It’s just that the Fourth Master doesn’t want to eat, but she does.
So, in a good mood, I squatted down, rolled up my sleeves and started cleaning the crabs.
Sun Dazhi was stunned when he saw Wen Jiu's movements, but it did not affect his interest in Wen Jiu's cooking skills at all. He just refused to leave: "Miss, let me help you."
Wenjiu was also happy to relax, so he ordered things around without hesitation, while he went to cut some fruit, wanting to make some fruit milk tea.
Speaking of which, making milk tea is very simple. Boil the tea in a quick pot, add milk after it boils, and filter out the excess tea leaves after the pot boils.
Add some soft red beans and a little honey, and you have a cup of red bean milk tea.
Let the remaining milk tea cool down and set aside. Find a few large bowls and add red beans, mung beans, raisins, dried apricots, plums, various dried fruits, and various fresh fruit cubes.
The kitchen brought us fruits today, including oranges, apples, pears, grapes, and peaches.
The fresh fruit flesh is peeled, seeds removed, and cut into pieces, then placed neatly in several large bowls.
Then pour the cooled milk tea on it and the simple fruit salad is ready.
At this time, Sun Dazhi had almost finished processing the shrimps.
Having worked in the kitchen for a long time, he was very good at peeling shrimps. After a while, he had peeled all the shrimps and made two plates of large shrimps.
The rest are all small shrimps, which can be stir-fried and used to enhance the flavor of boiling soup.
Wenjiu started drooling when he saw the shrimps, so he asked someone to get salted duck eggs to make salted egg yolk shrimps.
Fry the shrimps until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and add crushed salted egg yolks until bubbles form. Season to taste. Then add the shrimps and coat them evenly with egg yolks.
There were twelve crabs in total. Wenjiu took out six of them and cut them in half. He then heated oil in a pan and prepared to make garlic crabs.
For the other few, clean them and steam them directly.
After a while, the garlic crabs were also out of the pot. The tempting smell went straight into people's noses. Everyone around put down their work for a moment and couldn't help but look inside the plate of warm wine.
"Miss, this smells so good." Sun Dazhi couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "No, no, no, can you give me the remaining soup in the pot to taste?"
Seeing Wenjiu was about to clean the pot, he immediately went over to stop him.
Wenjiu shook his head in amusement: "I can't give you the soup."
Seeing Sun Dazhi's drooping head, Wen Jiu smiled and said, "I'll give you half a crab to eat."
Upon hearing this, Sun Dazhi shook his head like a wave drum and said with a smile: "I will just try this soup." As he said this, he took a small spoon and scooped a mouthful from the bottom of the pot. He closed his eyes and savored it carefully for a long time. Then he slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Even if I don't like these shrimps and crabs, I'm afraid I can't help but drool at your cooking skills."
The people around nodded in agreement.
Yes, it is too fragrant, not only the crab, but also the salted egg yolk shrimp. Just looking at it makes people drool.
For a moment, everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the prince.
After tasting the girl’s cooking skills, I’m afraid I’ll think of her every time I eat shrimps and crabs in the future.
Everyone in the kitchen was very efficient and had almost everything ready before dinner time.
Wenjiu finally prepared a pot of soup, intending to make beef vermicelli soup, but vermicelli cannot wait, so it would still be in time to add the vermicelli after the Fourth Master came.
"Miss, miss, eunuch Xi is here." She had just finished warming the wine and had not had time to wipe the sweat from her forehead when she saw Xiaodouzi running into the kitchen happily.
"Please invite the person in quickly." Wenjiu ordered, then brought a large cup, poured hot milk tea and placed it on the table.
When Xiao Xizi entered the room with a smile on his face, Wenjiu directly put a cup of hot milk tea in his hand. He sniffed his red nose and thanked her quickly: "Thank you, girl, thank you, girl!"
After taking a sip, his eyes lit up instantly: "How come this milk is so delicious? It is really the best tasting milk I have ever tasted."
He didn't like drinking milk because he thought it was very smelly.
The drink in front of me has no sweetness at all and has the fragrance of tea. You can even taste the soft and delicate red beans. After taking one sip, I want to take a second sip.
"If you like it, drink more. There's more in the pot." Wen Jiu smiled and filled his pot again.
Xiao Xizi knew very well what he was here for, so he naturally couldn't keep drinking. He just put down the teacup carefully to avoid spilling it.
He then waved to the eunuch behind him and said, "Hurry up and bring the things to the girl."
Then he immediately smiled and looked at Wen Jiu and said, "Young lady, please take a look. This is specially sent to you by our Lord Beile today."
Wenjiu looked back in surprise and saw several pieces of fabric.
After taking a closer look, her eyes widened: "Is this Shu brocade?"
The legendary Shu brocade, one of the four famous brocades in China?
She had seen it in modern times, but this was the first time she had seen such beautiful and complex patterns.
Looking at the people behind him with their mouths wide open in shock, Wenjiu knew that this thing was rare even nowadays.
"Oh, young lady, you have a good eye." Xiao Xizi replied cheerfully, "It's Shu brocade. Shu has suffered many disasters this year, and the tribute Shu brocade is even scarcer. Our prince got five pieces in total. His wife kept one piece, his concubine also got only one piece, and Princess Song got none. The prince said he would send all of these pieces to you."
Wen Jiu was suddenly confused by all these beautiful things: "But, there should be more than five horses here, right?"
Xiao Xizi nodded immediately: "Of course. Miss, there is also a piece of brocade and two pieces of plain cloth in here."
"Yunjin?" Wenjiu swallowed her saliva. Please forgive her for being a country bumpkin. As a modern person, she had never seen such a good thing. Yunjin is one of the four famous brocades. The key is that looking at the craftsmanship, it is much better than the modern ones.
Xiao Xizi specially brought out the piece of brocade and said, "Miss, this batch of crimson brocade is even more rare. It was woven by the famous Jinling embroiderer Qianshou. You may think the color is just pure, but if you look closely, every inch of it is like a painting. It's not an exaggeration to say that the entire piece of cloth is embroidered."
Now that Madam Qianshou has passed away, the embroidery she left behind is priceless, and was only sent to you."
Wenjiu pinched his face. The work of a great artist?
It’s the work of a great artist who died more than three hundred years ago!
If these things were brought to modern times, would she have become rich?
Grandpa, I don’t want to struggle anymore!
[Master, you are already dead now, what's the point of taking it back? ]
Wenjiu was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes. This Xiaojin only knew how to pour cold water on her all day long!
"This color suits you perfectly. This piece of satin is quite large, more than enough for you to make a whole set of clothes. The rest is also enough for shoes, hand warmer covers, fan covers, and other small items."
Xiao Xizi happily put down the piece of brocade and picked up a small box: "The prince also asked to send you some of the latest rouge and powder, young lady, please take a look."
Wen Jiu looked at it carefully. Just by looking at the workmanship of the box, she knew it must be a good thing. She was also a little confused for a moment. What happened to the Fourth Master?
Did he suddenly come to his senses? Did he suddenly want to treat me well? Or did he want to enslave me and make snacks for him every day?
Forget it, if he couldn't figure it out, he would just warm the wine and forget about it. He accepted it with a smile and gave Xiao Xizi some money as a reward. Then he asked, "Where's the prince? When did he say he would come over?"
Suddenly I felt that the Fourth Master was a little cute. No matter what the reason was, people who gave themselves good things were very cute.
Wenjiu suddenly felt that today's cold was not in vain, and it was not impossible to cook for him every day in the future.
"Miss, please wait a moment. The prince said he still has some documents to deal with. It will take less than two quarters of an hour. I'm afraid he will be here soon."
Wenjiu smiled and nodded, then took another look at the food to confirm that there was nothing wrong, then took his people to the main hall to wait.
Ruyi Pavilion.
Bang--
The low table was overturned on the ground, and the tea bowls and plates on it shattered to pieces, and fruits and snacks were scattered all over the carpet.
"Concubine, calm down!"
The servants around Li all knelt in fear, and no one dared to step forward.
Turning around, she squinted her eyes at Lai Shou, the personal eunuch kneeling on the ground. "Tell me clearly, did Lord Beile really give all the Shu brocade to that bitch?"
In the past, no matter what good things there were, the prince would always send them to her courtyard, and even the wife could only look at them.
Now it's her turn to watch other people clean up their yards?
Lai Shou kowtowed again and said, "Concubine, it is absolutely true. Xiao Xizi from the front yard brought quite a few gifts, and it seems that there are quite a few rewards. Not only that, I also heard that Concubine also went to deliver the rewards.
Li narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't know what she's planning. She just wants those bitches to share my favor. They're overestimating their own abilities."
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Is the person who went to Qingliang Pavilion to deliver something still here?"
Lai Shou nodded: "Indeed, judging by the situation, I'm afraid that Prince Beile will stay there tonight."
Li curled her lips coldly and said, "Today, let Ulanara see who is the most beloved person in Prince Beile's heart."
Then she ordered: "Go and intercept him on the road and tell him that I am not feeling well and ask you to come over."
"Yeah." Lai Shou responded and immediately ran out the door.
