Chapter 622: Foodie Contagion
"Found it, found it." Su Yujin excitedly pointed to an inconspicuous small shop on the street and said to Qingkui, "It's the shop called Ma Ji. The various dried fruits and preserved fruits they sell here are very delicious. You can go and buy some."
"Hmm..." Su Yujin paused and reminded, "Remember to get more green plums. The green plums here are especially delicious!"
Seeing Su Yujin's eyes shining, Qingkui smiled and said, "In the past, only the maids were eagerly waiting for the young lady to cook food, but I never thought that the young lady would also be greedy sometimes."
After hearing Qingkui say this, Su Yujin tilted her head unconsciously.
Speaking of which, she has become much more greedy recently, and is always thinking about various foods.
I want to eat this now, and then I want to eat that after a while. Once I want to eat something, I can’t wait to get it.
Was it because she was infected by He Yanxiu, the foodie? Or was it because everything had been peaceful since she returned to Beijing, and now she was happy and fat, so her appetite had increased?
Never mind, never mind, let’s eat the delicious dried plums first!
Su Yujin didn't bother to guess all these nonsense, and just urged Qingkui to get out of the car and buy it.
Qingkui couldn't help laughing at Su Yujin's anxious look, so she stopped procrastinating and got out of the car to go to the shop and buy a lot of dried fruits as Su Yujin asked.
Especially various kinds of dried plums.
They bought a lot of things, including several large bags wrapped in oil paper. Su Yujin's eyes lit up and she took them in a hurry. She couldn't wait to open one of them and took a dried plum and put it in her mouth first.
The sour taste immediately spread in her mouth, and Su Yujin suddenly felt comfortable all over, and even squinted her eyes.
After a long while, he said, "Tell the kitchen to make a bowl of hot and sour noodles for dinner tonight, with some meat pot cakes to go with it."
Crispy and delicious Guokui, spicy and sour, smooth and chewy sweet potato vermicelli...
Just thinking about it, Su Yujin felt his mouth watering as if a waterfall was about to fall three thousand feet.
"Yes." Qingkui responded with a smile, then smiled again and again.
My daughter is as greedy as the second master! All the way back to the He family, because Su Yujin was thinking about eating Guokui and hot and sour noodles, she led the servants to make these two dishes when she arrived at the courtyard.
After everything was done, Su Yujin took it all to Madam He's yard and had dinner with her and Lu.
Mrs. Lu was a greedy person and liked strong-flavored food. Her usual meals were all kinds of exquisite dishes. But when she saw these pot cakes and hot and sour noodles, she couldn't suppress her appetite and ate them with relish together with Su Yujin.
Old Madam He was infected by the two people's way of eating and drinking without caring about their image, and she was also eager to try the pot cake and hot and sour noodles. However, she was old and her stomach was not in good condition. She was afraid that she could not tolerate the hot and sour taste, so she had to give up the hot and sour taste and only ate half a pot cake and noodles with clear soup.
But even so, the soup for cooking noodles was made with chicken racks and pork bones, and it was delicious and tasty, and Mrs. He still praised it highly.
When the meal was almost over, Madam He asked, "Why hasn't Yan Xiu come back yet so late today?"
"He sent someone back in the afternoon to tell me that he and several colleagues were going to Juweizhai for a small gathering today. He couldn't refuse, so he would be back later." Su Yujin answered truthfully.
Madam He frowned and said to Lu, "Yu Jin is still young, and as a wife, it's hard to lecture her. You should talk to Yan Xiu when you have time. Avoid socializing if possible. As newlyweds, you should spend more time with Yu Jin."
"Mother is right." Mrs. Lu nodded in agreement, "I will definitely talk to him when I have time."
He Yanzhou stopped slurping his spicy noodles, counted on his fingers for a while, and tentatively said, "Mother, it seems that my second brother has only gone out once this month..."
"What's wrong with once?" Lu raised her eyebrows. "We need to set rules for everything in advance. If there's a first time, there will be a second time. If we don't care about it, who knows how crazy we'll become in the future!"
"You are talking like this, do you think your second brother is not at fault? Your idea is very dangerous and needs to be corrected in time. When a woman marries into a man's family, many things will revolve around the man. As a husband, you must know your wife's difficulties and not only be considerate of her in every way, but also accompany her all the time!"
But but...
If he is not blind, he would know that ever since the second sister-in-law married into the He family, it has been the second brother who has been revolving around her.
"You look like this, do you think what your mother said is wrong?"
Lu's question interrupted He Yanzhou's wandering thoughts.
He Yanzhou came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "No, no, I just think what mother said is very right. I am thinking in my heart that I must not be like my second brother in the future and like to go out for social events so much."
That's about right.
Lu retracted her sharp gaze and handed He Yanzhou another pot cake.
He Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, mother."
Then go and eat the pot cake.
The pot cake was crispy and delicious. He Yanzhou took several bites before chewing it slowly.
It’s so delicious!
We have such delicious food today, but my second brother is not at home. I really don’t have a good time!
After dinner, Su Yujin stayed to talk with Madam He and Mrs. Lu for a while, and returned to the yard after it was completely dark.
As soon as he entered the house, Su Yujin yawned.
Qingkui saw her rubbing her eyes and said, "Miss, you have been running around today and taking the trouble to prepare meals. You must be tired now. I will prepare some hot water for you to take a bath and relieve your fatigue so that you can go to bed early."
Although He Yanxiu came back early in the evening, he was out for a social event after all. Interpersonal relationships are mostly based on personal relationships, especially at a dinner party, where everyone values face and it is not easy to get away.
Based on this consideration, Su Yujin didn't want to wait for He Yanxiu any longer, so she just nodded and went to take a bath as Qingkui said.
It was probably as Qingkui said. Su Yujin ran around a lot today. After taking a bath, she was not refreshed but very sleepy and went to bed early.
At the end of the Xu hour, He Yanxiu came back, smelling of alcohol, but he was very sober and in good spirits.
"Princess, did you go to bed so early?" He Yanxiu asked in a low voice when he saw that most of the lights in the yard were turned off.
"The girl went home to have dinner with the lady today. She came back late in the afternoon and cooked some food. She felt a little tired, so she went to bed early."
While Shuilan and Qingkui were talking, they had already brought water and clothes to He Yanxiu.
He Yanxiu was not used to having maids serving him cautiously, so after the toiletries were prepared, the two of them left and closed the door.
