The next day, the Queen Mother received a snack sent by Mrs. Mo and a casserole of chicken soup.

The Queen Mother did not show up, but sent a nanny to receive the gifts and give out rewards.

The mother was very interesting. She said that the soup was cooked by their master himself. If you like it, she will send you another bowl of fish soup tomorrow.

The eunuch tested the poison, and Eunuch Liang drank another small bowl before Queen Mother Wang tasted it.

"The taste is different. My daughter really takes after her father and is interested in food."

Eunuch Liang said, "I heard that Mo Dianshu can cook and often cooks. Every time he goes to the imperial kitchen, he asks the imperial chef for advice. Because he has a friendly attitude, there are also imperial chefs who are willing to give him guidance."

The Queen Mother said, "From what that lady said, it seems that Mrs. Mo doesn't know who bought this farm."

Eunuch Liang glanced to the side, and a guard came forward to report: "That mother gave gifts to a few farms, two boxes of Wufangzhai snacks."

The Queen Mother was curious why soup was sent to her.

Eunuch Liang explained, "I guess it's because the previous owner has visited the He family farm several times, saying that the livestock smells too strong."

The Queen Mother smiled again. This was because she was afraid that the new master would have objections, so she wanted to establish good relations in advance. Her approach was the same as their father's: the gift was small but the sentiment was great.

She wondered what Mrs. Mo would do if she knew it was her who lived in the manor.

She sent the nanny who had been with her last time to return a gift, which was a few fish bought from the surrounding area.

Mo Chenxi personally met the people who returned the gifts. From the other farms, the village heads also came over to return the gifts if the owners were not at home, with some of the farm's own food.

The nanny from the farm next door didn't behave or speak like a peasant woman from the farm. Mo Chenxi felt a little familiar with her. After thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be the nanny who served Madam Wang whom she met by chance in Shuangfeng Temple last time.

She thought it was a coincidence that the new owner next door was Mrs. Wang.

She heard that the nanny spoke with a Shanxi accent, and Shanxi people love to eat noodles, so she made cold noodles and personally delivered them to Mrs. Wang.

The Queen Mother thought that Mrs. Mo would come in person, and she was very curious about what Mrs. Mo would bring.

After waiting for a long time, no one came. She wondered if Mrs. Mo didn't recognize the nanny?

At lunchtime, the gatekeeper said that the hostess of the neighboring farm had come, and the Queen Mother came out in person.

It was obvious that Mrs. Mo had tidied up her clothes. Following behind her was her mother who had just come to give her a gift. She was holding a food box in her hand, which had five layers on it.

Mo Chenxi bowed first, then said in surprise, "It's really Madam Wang. The mother I saw returning the gift just now looks like the one I met last time at Shuangfeng Mountain. From her accent, it seems she's from Shanxi. I made two kinds of noodles, please try them, Madam. If you don't mind, I'll make candied date steamed bread tomorrow morning and send some back to Madam to try."

The Queen Mother said, "I am sorry to trouble you."

When Mo Chenxi heard that Madam Wang didn't refuse, she said happily, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother, it's just something that comes easily. We're going to have this for breakfast anyway."

For some reason, Mo Chenxi's intelligence decreased a little when she spoke to Mrs. Wang. After she finished speaking, she felt embarrassed and blushed.

I was originally doing it specifically for someone else, but after she said that, it became a casual thing.

The Queen Mother blushed when she heard her say that and clenched her hands nervously.

Thinking of the time when she was twelve years old and entered the palace to meet the queen, she said again, "Thank you."

Mo Chenxi was very happy because she could hear the sincerity in Mrs. Wang's tone.

She bowed slightly, "Then I won't bother you, Madam. See you tomorrow morning."

For some reason, she couldn't help but use the modern gesture of waving goodbye to friends. After waving twice, she quickly put it down, lowered her head and walked away quickly.

The Queen Mother laughed behind her, knowing why Mrs. Mo always said the wrong things in front of her.

This Mrs. Mo is interesting. She guessed that I was of noble status and wanted to make friends with him, so she was nervous and said the wrong thing.

Not to mention her, some third-rank officials were so nervous when they saw her for the first time that their voices trembled.

Mrs. Wang ordered someone to open the food box. The top layer contained five small bowls with shredded green onions, shredded cucumbers, mung bean sprouts, shredded radishes, and bracken. The second layer contained three small bowls of what was obviously sauce.

The third layer has five small bowls, each with noodles, not much, just two chopsticks.

The fourth layer was a plate. The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat when she saw it. It was oatmeal dough.

The fifth layer was opened, revealing two large bowls, one containing noodle soup and the other containing clear cold water.

When Eunuch Liang opened the food box, he knew without even looking at the empress dowager that the food sent by Mrs. Mo had touched her heart.

Not to mention how they taste, just the appearance of these dishes is something the Empress Dowager once said twice, she missed the noodles and oatmeal dough she ate in her hometown when she was a child.

In the palace, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Emperor would never order the imperial kitchen to prepare whatever they liked to eat. This was a rule passed down for hundreds of years that prohibited showing greed.

The imperial kitchen also made noodles, but the Queen Mother only tasted one bite and would not eat a second one.

Eunuch Liang tasted everything and took a step back. "As expected of Mo Dianshu's daughter, I think she's even better than what the imperial kitchen makes."

Of course he was exaggerating. The food made in the imperial kitchen was more exquisite in appearance and the sauces were more refined.

The food made by the Mo family is just a little more refined than that made by ordinary people. The sauce is a bit salty. There are three sauces: one is egg sauce, one is meat sauce, and one is fish sauce. The fish sauce has a bit of fishy smell.

After he finished speaking, he saw that the Queen Mother said nothing and quietly retreated. With a wave of her hand, everyone in the room left.

The Queen Mother first smelled the fishy smell of the fish sauce and could tell it was freshly made. Her grandmother in her hometown liked to eat fish sauce and shrimp paste. Others thought it was fishy, ​​but her grandmother said that this was the fishy smell she liked.

She had been with her grandmother since she was a child and was used to the smell. When she thought of her grandmother, her heart turned cold.

My grandmother, who had been kind all her life, died tragically at the hands of my grandfather's aunt. When she was twelve years old, she had the aunt chopped into pieces. The pieces were really chopped into pieces and fed to wild dogs.

Her mother took her to the capital to hide. The queen was her mother's cousin. When she heard what she had done, she said that this was how a girl from a royal family should be, and she made her the crown princess.

This will explain why she is interested in Mo, she has the courage.

Mo Chenxi left the manor, breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest.

The last time I saw Mrs. Wang on Shuangfeng Mountain, I felt that she was of extraordinary status. I could tell from the people who followed her, her eyes, and her whole demeanor.

This time when we entered the farm, the gatekeeper and several maids all showed the noble status of the owner.

Although Mrs. Wang was smiling the whole time and her eyes showed curiosity, she was nervous and when she was nervous she would talk and do the wrong things.

Will the gesture of bowing to Madam Wang just now make her feel that she is being impolite?

However, there was no contempt or mockery in Mrs. Wang's eyes. Only when she said that the nanny looked like someone from Shanxi did Mrs. Wang show a hint of surprise, but she quickly regained her composure, which showed that she was a very shrewd woman.

It's impossible that she was a wealthy merchant lady, or perhaps she was a daughter of a military officer serving in the capital.

Go back and ask your father.
