It was already noon when the two returned home. Mo Xiaoxiao unpacked the packaged plum blossoms one by one, and divided them up to send to her parents, as well as her cousin. , and Liu Ziyan volunteered as soon as she came back, picked up the ingredients and walked towards the kitchen happily, saying that she wanted to make eight-treasure porridge for her to try.
It was a gray and rainy day today, Mo Xiaoxiao wiped the white vase in the room until it was translucent, scooped some water in, poured it into the vase, and put all the three neatly trimmed plum blossoms on the table into the vase , for a moment, it seemed that the light in the room became brighter, and the rainy weather seemed to become amiable. The fiery red plum blossoms were inserted in the white clean bottle, a kind of solemn joy, like a The mass of thick ink slowly blooms on the snow-white rice paper, making people happy, but whenever Mo Xiaoxiao sees this plum blossom, Mo Xiaoxiao always feels melancholy in her heart. Maybe seeing things and thinking about others is the reason .
After finishing all this, she picked up another embroidery plate, which felt light in her hand, but heavy in her heart. She sat in front of the window and turned her head away, her eyes wandering outside the window, letting the Like a meandering snake, it climbed through the window, climbed over the black eaves, and passed through the Shandai on the opposite bank. It was full of thoughts, and was drawn lengthy, as if the body and mind were brought back to that familiar scene.
Under the red sandalwood carved window, there are two young women sitting, they are about the same age, smiling like flowers, each holding an embroidered plate in their hands, spring flowers, autumn moon, phoenix and mandarin ducks are in their hands, slowly becoming vivid Get up, that light embroidery needle, wearing colorful needles and threads, seems to be dancing on the white brocade, dancing happily for a while, the vivid scene, the sky is like a peach blossom on the white cloth, as if it came to life, and that The two women with needles and threads in their hands smiled brightly and tacitly.
In just a split second, everything disappeared, as if there was a wanton wind blowing, it was blowing from a far away place, it was numb, ruthless, and it didn't even give it time to think about it , it mustered all its strength in one go, and devoured the beautiful scene she had created with great difficulty. Those phantoms were like a dream, and disappeared in an instant. Unable to catch, she wanted to stand up and catch the phantoms that were about to fly away, but she had more energy than she wanted, so she couldn't do anything, she could only watch it get farther and farther away.
When she was in a trance, a voice suddenly came from her ear, which brought her back to reality from a distant place: "Miss, what's wrong with you, why are you staring blankly by the window? The window is not closed!" The wind outside is so strong, if you accidentally catch a cold, what will you do?"
Hearing her voice, Mo Xiaoxiao came to her senses, and quickly recovered, turned back to her body, with a faint smile on her face, and shook her head with a wry smile: "It's okay, I just feel that there is something wrong in the room. It's too stuffy, I just want to breathe some fresh air, didn't you go to make porridge? Why did you come here so soon?"
Mo Xiaoxiao spoke casually, as if she was trying to hide her uneasy thoughts, Liu Ziyan heard her asking this, and opened her mouth quickly.
"Miss, look at what time it is outside. It will be dark in a while. How can you call it fast? I have been busy in the kitchen all afternoon. Let me show you my finished product. I have made a lot of things. You can send some to Master and Madam, as well as Eldest Young Master, to express your heart, and let them taste the best of both worlds!" Liu Ziyan said with a smile.
Mo Xiaoxiao got up, and followed her to the table, only to see Liu Ziyan opened the lid of the food box with a face full of joy, and a burst of fragrance instantly enveloped her nose, as if there was a sticky smell. The sweetness, wafting in the air is not like the rich fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, nor like the light fragrance of peach blossom. The white heat, the sticky soup soaked with boiled longan and soybeans, white barley and red red beans, the combination of the two is more beautiful, watching her burst of joy.
Mo Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, and blurted out: "Wow, Ziyan, your craftsmanship is amazing, I've never smelled such a fragrance, it looks very delicious, but I don't like it." Special understanding, can you tell me what method you used to make it? I want to learn it too, it looks so appetizing!"
"Hehehe, miss, do you want to taste it first, and I will tell you slowly!" Liu Ziyan couldn't help laughing when she saw her greedy little cat, and took out a ceramic one from the food box beside her. A small bowl, gently scooped out from the food box with a white spoon, no more, no less, just a small bowl."Treasure porridge", put both hands in front of her, and said with a smile on his face.
Mo Xiaoxiao couldn't help salivating, took the small bowl carefully, held it in front of her and smelled it gently: "Okay, then I'll taste it for you for a while, um, it's really delicious, although I don't know what it is How to make it, but it looks really appetizing, so please tell me how to make it!"
"In fact, the production of this Laba porridge is very simple. Laba porridge, as the name suggests, is made of eight kinds of things. As for the eight treasures, it is usually made of barley, millet, lotus seeds, red dates, longan and red beans, black rice and peanuts. The method of cooking it like this is also relatively simple and easy to learn. All ingredients except longan and red dates should be soaked in water for at least two hours, so that it can be completely soaked soft, and it is also easy to cook when cooking. , when cooking porridge, remember to put it in a pot with warm water, then change to high heat to boil, and then turn to low heat. Don¡¯t underestimate the change of heat, changing the heat at an appropriate time will help the porridge become soft and rotten, and the first 20 minutes after boiling Stir continuously for ten minutes, and finally it will be crispy out of the pan. Don¡¯t forget to add sugar when making it! This is the making process.¡±
Liu Ziyan said with relish, Mo Xiaoxiao also got a general idea, but she still didn't know how to make it so delicious.
Mo Xiaoxiao nodded, tasted the contents of the bowl with relish, and said, "I know, but your technique is too good, it's fragrant and sticky, and the taste is not bland at all, but this The sweetness is not greasy. The heat of these ingredients is very precise, and all of them have the feeling of melting in the mouth, without the slightest feeling of being raw, and there is no cooking of the ingredients, which shows that your cooking skills are superb. , I really admire it!"
"It's fine if Miss likes it. Would you like to give some to Master and Madam as well? I cooked a lot." Liu Ziyan said again.
Mo Xiaoxiao said slowly while wiping her mouth: "Well, it's natural, but this time you have to go there yourself, my brother is there to avoid suspicion between you and him, so you don't have to go, but I You have to go to the father and mother's side."
"Why? Now that you know that Madam doesn't want to see me, why did you ask me to deliver it to them in person?" Liu Ziyan was puzzled after hearing her words.
"It's because he doesn't want to see you. There is a gap between you, so I want you to go in person. You need to impress her with sincerity. She has a very bad impression of you now. For her to get rid of you earlier Opinion, you have to use your sincerity to impress her, let her know that you are not the kind of person he imagined, this is just one, and the other is that if he doesn't want to see you, you will stop interacting with her. I feel that you did this because you were guilty of a guilty conscience, and it also shows that you are a narrow-minded person, so you must go there in person for reasons and reasons, and I will go to my brother's side in person. .¡±
Listening to Mo Xiaoxiao's serious look, and still speaking with reason, Liu Ziyan suddenly realized, and seemed to understand what she meant, and nodded in agreement.
Liu Ziyan said: "That's good, miss, I'll send it over now, then you also send it over to the young master, otherwise it will be cold later and it won't be good for eating."
Mo Xiaoxiao nodded: "Well, by the way, remember to send these three plum blossoms, and put them in the vase in my mother's room as soon as you enter the door. He doesn't like restrained people, so you have to be generous. Timid, remember?"
"Okay miss, I've remembered, then I'll go there now!" Liu Ziyan said as she separated the contents of the food box, gave her a salute, lifted the contents, and prepared to leave.
After Liu Ziyan left, Mo Xiaoxiao put the remaining bowl of porridge into a food box, and stealthily found a bottle of wine that she secretly bought today from under the bed, took it out, and put it together After arriving in the food box, after finishing all this, he happily carried the box and walked towards Yang Zhe's room.
"Dong dong dong!" Yang Zhe was reading and writing in his room, but his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. He couldn't help but glanced up, and saw a shadow outside the door, a slender woman alone. Standing outside the door, Yang Zhe gently put down the book in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew who it was without looking.
"I know you came in, the door is not locked." Yang Zhe said softly.
"Squeak!" As soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open to see a bewildered head, Mo Xiaoxiao was undoubtedly the one, she just poked her head out, looked inside, then turned her head to look around, sneaky Sui looks so strange.
"What are you doing at the door? You don't come in. Seeing your sneaky appearance, are you doing something shameful again? If that's the case, I won't go with you." Seeing this, Yang Zhe couldn't help laughing Laughing, teasing her.
Only then did Mo Xiaoxiao turn around and enter the door gently, and then closed and locked the tight door with her backhand, for fear of being discovered or something.
Mo Xiaoxiao turned around after closing the door, weighed something in her hand, and said solemnly: "What are you talking about, I just see what's going on outside, what's called shameful thing, if you don't get along with me, you don't have to. I've been in the same boat many times, is this one worse?" (Remember this site's website: www.hlnovel.com)He had to smile, teasing her and said.
