Yangcheng

Let me see what delicious food Tang Jianwei made today!

The little sheep rolled happily in her arms out of thin air, just like Tong Shaoxuan's excited mood at the moment.

She passed through the streets and alleys of Jingyangfang in a gust of wind, and the neighbors thought that she had an illusion.

Tongjia Yao'er has always been able to sit but never stand, can lie down and never sit, and walks without moving, as if she will swallow her last breath at any moment.

Are you running right now?

When he ran to the door of the house, Tong Shaoxuan gasped and calmed down. He put the little sheep down on the ground, and when he was about to bring the little sheep into the door together, the neighbor Mrs. Wang was holding a pot of hairy tofu. Come over and stop her.

"Ah Nian, just in time for you to come back, I made some edamame curd, you can bring it in, I won't go in."

Aunt Wang is kind and generous, and she has been an old neighbor of the Tong family for more than ten years.

She especially likes to cook food, but the taste is always a bit unexpected.

This hairy tofu is fermented tofu, which grows a layer of dense, snow-white down, which looks like it is wrapped in layers of silk, which looks terrifying.

It is said that after frying the edamame and green onions together, it has an indescribable unique flavor, and those who love it will love it very much, but Tong Shaoxuan is absolutely unable to eat it.

No one in the Tong family dared to eat it except the eldest brother Tong Boyi.

The eldest brother loves to eat very much, and the taste is exactly the same as that of Mrs. Wang.A few years ago, Tong Shaoqian said that the elder brother had a strange taste, maybe it was not the Tong family, but a cub born to Mrs. Wang, and Song Qiao burst a chestnut on the spot, so painful that he didn't dare to speak for several days.

Tong Shaoxuan poured out his thanks to Aunt Wang with the moldy tofu, walked into the door and said:

"Ye Niang, I'm back!"

"A Nian." Third sister Tong Shaoqian poked his head out from behind the bamboo grove with a solemn expression.

"Are you back?" Tong Shaoxuan asked her, "Have you gained anything from your blind date?"

A few days ago, Tong Shaoqian and a group of friends went to Lingxiu Mountain in Linxian County to enjoy the autumn, and they stopped by their grandmother's house to visit.

Before leaving, Tong Shaoqian called Tong Shaoxuan and Ji Xue into the bedroom, found a lot of clothes and accessories to wear one by one, and let them taste and taste, which one is the most eye-catching and has the best chance to stand out from her group of friends .

Ji Xue was dazzled, and couldn't help asking: "San Niang, is this an autumn viewing or a blind date?"

Tong Shaoxuan and the third sister are the closest, she knows every move of the third sister like the back of the hand:

"Naturally, there is no mistake in enjoying the autumn blind date. This time, Zhai Wulang must also go to enjoy the autumn, right?"

Tong Shaoqian said after being coquettish, "I don't dress up for anyone to see, but for my own appreciation."

"That's right." Tong Shaoxuan stood up and wanted to leave, "So it's good for my sister to decide if she likes it, and leave."

"Wait a minute!" Tong Shaoqian pulled Tong Shaoxuan back, changed his hairpin angrily, and then said, "It's true for my own appreciation, but Zhai Wulang also went."

Tong Shaoxuan and Ji Xue despised her together.

"Oh, that's fine. Are you still my real sister? Hurry up and help me find out which hairpin is the best! By the way, Ah Nian, lend me your pomegranate skirt."

"...that's the money I've saved for a long time, so I bought it with pain!"

"Didn't you wear it to Boling? The used battle robe is not as cheap as my sister. Hurry—go—get it!"

There was no other way, in order to drive the noisy third sister out of the mansion as soon as possible, and exchange for some rare cleanliness, Tong Shaoxuan had no choice but to sacrifice her pomegranate skirt.

Tong Shaoqian came back in a blink of an eye, seeing her expression, Tong Shaoxuan already knew it in his heart:

"It seems that there is no play with Zhai Wulang."

"Tsk, what are you talking nonsense over there!"

"If you come back with a big victory, you should talk to me on the roof at this moment."

"...Aside from making fun of your sister, do you have something else to do? Come here, let me ask you, what happened to that Tang Sanniang?" Tong Shaoqian asked, pointing to the front hall.

Hearing the words "Tang Sanniang", Tong Shaoxuan's spirit brightened, and he was about to go to the front hall: "What's for dinner today?"

"Wait a minute." Tong Shaoqian pulled her back, "Answer my question first! Hey - this Mao Tofu is even more scary when you look at it up close - tell me, what happened during my absence? Then Doesn’t the person surnamed Tang live in the west courtyard? Why did he come to the front hall? He also made food and brought it? I see that Ye Niang’s appearance seems to be used to it, and she’s even a little happy?”

"Is there? Isn't Ye Niang always in a good mood?"

"...Why do I feel that you seem to be in a good mood? Come on, let me see your little face, what's the matter? You have meat? When you come here later, why do I think you have grown taller?"

Tong Shaoqian stopped Tong Shaoxuan and wanted to compete with her, but Tong Shaoxuan was weak and couldn't get away from her at all.

"Don't mess with me, the edamame is going to be overturned!"

"It's really grown taller, almost reaching my forehead. What kind of elixir have you taken recently?"

Tong Shaoqian felt a sense of crisis, she was the shortest in the whole family except Tong Shaoxuan.

In the past, there was a younger sister under the cushion, and she could still comfort herself.But now? !

Tong Shaoqian sighed: "I only went out for a few days, and when I came back, I felt a world turned upside down. It must be because of Tang Jianwei. You are fat and tall, so it can't be because you ate Tang Jianwei's meals? Ye Niang seems to have been completely captured, and she forgot about being humiliated by the Tang family's regretful marriage, but what about you? How could you forget! Ah Nian, our Tong family has a bit of backbone, and we must not be taken down by Tang Jianwei with a few dishes. Yes. Before we get married, she can walk around the house without any hindrance. After we get married, she can’t ride on top of our heads and domineeringly? Ah Nian, aren’t you usually very smart? Xiang Yuesheng, without you, I can't do it, but think of a way to control her."

These heartfelt words of Tong Shaoqian are exactly the same as Tong Shaoxuan's thoughts two months ago, but now they are in a completely different state of mind.

The third sister didn't know anything about Tang Jianwei's power.

The roast chicken, the deep-fried dough sticks, the crucian carp, the mutton...

The delicacy he got from Tang Jianwei in recent days lingered in Tong Shaoxuan's mind crazily.

Who can resist it?

"I can't control her!" Tong Shaoxuan told the truth, and started a new round of struggle.

"I understand." Tong Shaoqian sighed, "It's not that you can't control it, you are clearly pampering her. In fact, you are very happy to marry her, right?"

"What are you babbling about?"

With keen eyes, Tong Shaoxuan noticed that Tang Jianwei had put a pot and casserole on the round table in the front hall, and after talking to Aye, she didn't eat together, turned around and came out, walking towards them.

And Tong Shaoqian turned his back to her, didn't notice at all, and continued to shake off Tong Shaoxuan's affairs:

"Hey, third sister, I understand you. Didn't you like this Tang Jianwei since you were a child? After copying and copying her poems, and ran for more than 300 miles for a portrait, didn't the carriage overturned in the mud? went?"

Tang Jianwei was only ten steps away from them, no matter how Tong Shaoxuan protested, Tong Shaoqian was still counting down her secret love!

"Third Sister envies you for being able to marry the person you have admired since childhood."

"Okay! Shut up!" Tong Shaoxuan became anxious.

Don't let Tang Jianwei know about this!

Tong Shaoqian is often ridiculed by his sister, so he seized the opportunity and tried his best to get it back:

"Uncle Chai said that when you were pulled out of the mud, you were like a lotus root that had just been pulled out of the mud. You were covered in mud, and you were so dark. But Tang Jianwei's portrait was tightly covered in his arms. You are so strict, you are not polluted at all. Let me tell you that you are really..."

Tang Jianwei was already behind Tong Shaoqian, and Tong Shaoxuan didn't care about anything else, and in a hurry, he pressed the Maotofu in his hand directly into Tong Shaoqian's mouth.

Tong Shaoqian whose mouth was covered with hair: "??!"

Tang Jianwei: "What are you doing..."

Only then did Tong Shaoqian discover her, and when he wanted to speak, he coughed and burst into tears.

Mao choked in the throat!

"My third sister likes to eat some heavy flavors, and they taste so strong that I can't stop them."

Tong Shaoxuan helped Tong Shaoqian to follow his back, and said with a smile, "Third sister, why are you in a hurry, and I won't fight you. Look at you, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Although Tong Shaoqian coughed and couldn't speak, his eyes were still fierce——

See how I treat you in a while!

Tong Shaoxuan received threats from his eyes, and hurried away with the remaining half pot of Mao Tofu.

Tang Jianwei continued to help Tong Shaoqian: "It turned out to be Mao Tofu, although it looks a little ugly, but I really like to eat it, and it is very nutritious. But, third sister, this Mao Tofu doesn't feel sticky when eaten raw. Throat? It should taste better after frying in a pan."

Tang Jianwei was sincerely giving her advice, but Tong Shaoqian couldn't express his suffering, so he secretly made a note for Tong Shaoxuan in his heart.

Tong Shaoxuan rushed to the front hall excitedly, Tong Boyi immediately became energetic when he saw Mao Tofu:

"Is it from Mrs. Wang?"

"Yes, hurry up, brother, take it away." Seeing the soup and dishes Tang Jianwei sent, Tong Shaoxuan wished he could throw the Mao Tofu to Tong Boyi.

Tong Boyi got moldy tofu, he went to the kitchen happily and asked Aunt He, the chef, to fry it for a while.

Tong Shaoxuan recognized at a glance which dishes on the table were made by Aunt He and which were made by Tang Jianwei.

A large khaki pot is filled with hot soup, in which there are knotted bean skins, sliced ​​bacon, tender yellow bamboo shoots, and seasonings such as ginger and scallions.

This is the can of soup!It was the salty scent she smelt in the bamboo forest just now!

Tong Changting had already filled a bowl of soup, took a spoonful of it, and his beard almost flew up:

"It's delicious! There's still some alcohol!"

Song Qiao was also amazed after drinking it: "I thought it would be very salty, but the taste would be compromised. Unexpectedly, there is no overwhelming salty taste, only strong aroma. The bacon is very delicious, and it goes well with rice."

Tong Shaoxuan was about to be starved to death by Ye Niang's explanation, and quickly took the spoon to make a bowl for himself, but was stopped by Song Qiao.

"You can't eat this, Ah Shen specially prepared soup for you, and yours is the only one."

Tong Shaoxuan was both puzzled and surprised.

Tang Jianwei actually specially prepared the only soup for me?

The soup in the jar is already so delicious that the whole family is about to fly in place. What kind of delicious food should Tang Jianwei prepare alone?

Ji Xue brought a casserole to Tong Shaoxuan.

The casserole was still covered, so you couldn't see the contents or smell it, but it was steaming hot, as if it had just been made.

Song Qiao said: "Shen said, this pot is all yours, you have to eat it all."

"Really, then why did she leave? I should thank her face to face." Tong Shaoxuan held the spoon, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never went down.

"She said that it's not convenient to have dinner with us at the same table because she hasn't really passed the door yet. Ah Shen is a child who understands etiquette. When you finish eating, remember to go to the west courtyard to thank her."

"But you haven't got married yet, wouldn't it be good if you keep seeing each other like this?" Tong Changting felt that he was the only one in the whole family who still remembered this.

Tong Boyi came back with the Maotofu fried by Aunt He: "Aye, it seems that in the area of ​​Boling Mansion and Dongchun, there is no such thing as not being able to meet before marriage. People not only meet, but also do more. I have met a few times, if you can understand each other's temperament before getting married, you will be more harmonious after getting married, which is a good thing."

Tong Changting was surprised: "This world has come to such a point?"

Everyone else at the table was talking about the appointment before marriage, but Tong Shaoxuan only had casserole in his eyes.

Suppressing his excitement, Tong Shaoxuan closed his eyes and lifted the lid of the casserole, wanting to savor the long-awaited delicacy with all his heart at the first moment.

The hot air comes with a bitter and astringent fragrance, which really makes people feel happy...

and many more?

Tong Shaoxuan opened his eyes.

What's the matter with being bitter and astringent?

Tong Shaoxuan immediately looked into the casserole, and saw that the casserole was dark and completely different from the fresh and attractive appearance in the earthen pot just now.Judging by the unsettling smell, there are vaguely scary things hidden in the dark depths.

"What is this...?" Tong Shaoxuan asked Song Qiao.

Song Qiao really knew: "Ah Shen specially prepared it for you, cistanche and peach kernel soup."

"Why does it look like medicine instead of soup?"

"You could say the same."

Aunt actually admitted it!

Why do I have to drink medicine!

After waiting for so long, there was only a large casserole of medicine waiting for her!

Playing tricks on me again!

Recalling the previous touch, Tong Shaoxuan felt that the word "fool" was written on his face!

Just as Ji Xue and the other maidservants in the mansion lit the gauze lamps in the veranda, she saw Tong Shaoxuan walking quickly, full of breath.

"Si Niang?"

Tong Shaoxuan actually ignored Ji Xue and went to the west courtyard.

"What's wrong with Si Niang? Could it be that he's going to fight the Tang Corporation again?"

"Then Tang's provoked Si Niang again?"

Qiu Xin said: "No way, Sister Tang is very kind, and Siniang is also gentle, there must be some misunderstanding."

Someone asked Qiu Xin: "I heard that Tang's cooking is very delicious, is it true?"

Before Qiu Xin could reply, another little house slave said: "Really, when I was delivering morning food to the West Courtyard that day, I happened to see her making milk square cakes. She didn't blame me, she even gave me a piece to eat."

Qiu Xin's saliva almost splashed all over the place: "Cow, milk square cake? Just hearing the name will kill me! What's that like? Tell me quickly!"

"A small piece of glutinous and cool, it's full of milky fragrance when you eat it! It's so delicious that you almost swallowed the square cake with your tongue!"

Qiu Xin was so greedy that she almost fainted: "Sister Tang, what kind of Nine Heavens Xuannv descended to the mortal world! She can make so many delicious dishes!"

Qiu Xin immediately decided to go to the west courtyard to help tomorrow!

Having made up her mind to paint the cart bald and the west courtyard white, she must eat milk cakes!

Hearing Qiu Xin and the others talking about how delicious the food made by Tang Jianwei was, the other maidservants who had never tasted it were also very curious and chattered non-stop.

Ji Xue listened quietly from the side without interrupting, and found that everyone not only praised Tang Jianwei's cooking skills, but also had a good impression of her as a person.

It is said that she was born rich and beautiful, but she has no airs. She is kind and friendly on weekdays. She has already written down all their names. She really helps when she needs help. The appearance of the future young lady.

As they spoke, the maidservants blushed and their ears were filled with enthusiasm...

Ji Xue saw that everyone liked Tang Jianwei very much.

……

"Tang Jianwei!"

Tong Shaoxuan came to Tang Jianwei's door and called her name.

Soon the door opened, and Tang Jianwei seemed to have expected that she would come, wearing a peach pink skirt, leaning against the door and slightly turning her head, the oil lamp reflected her sly smile:

"What's the matter, ma'am, you came to me in such a hurry, what can you tell me?"

"You..." Tong Shaoxuan was about to question her, when he found Tang Guanqiu sitting on the side table, looking out curiously.

"Come out, I have something to tell you." Tong Shaoxuan didn't want to get angry in front of the patient, so he asked Tang Jianwei to go out to settle the score.

"It's cold outside, it's better for Madam to come inside and talk."

Speaking of which, Tang Jianwei stepped aside and sincerely invited Tong Shaoxuan to come in.

She said that Tong Shaoxuan found out that it was almost winter, and Tang Jianwei was only wearing a thin skirt.

It wasn't warm inside the house, but it was better than outside, at least there was no wind.

But after all, she was not married yet, and it was really inconvenient for her to go in, so she explained her incomprehension at the door:

"Why did you stew medicine for me for dinner today?"

"So you wanted to tell me about it. Madam, are you sure you want to make it clear?"

"Naturally!" Tong Shaoxuan said, "The soup you sent me a few days ago was delicious...I thank you very much. I won't drink your soup for nothing! If you need me in the future, I will let you Open your mouth!"

Tang Jian nodded slightly: "It turns out that Madam is here to confess."

"...Listen to me. Why did today's soup become medicine? I really can't figure it out!"

"Madam has been looking forward to it all day, but she didn't drink the soup she liked, and lost her temper?"

"...Do you have a serious sentence?"

Tang Jian was overwhelmed with joy: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I want to cook the soup for you. I want you to be happy after drinking it. You will grow tall and fleshy. So is the medicine. Your mother said that you have not yet arrived, and I just learned it. I remember some medical theories, and I remembered some prescriptions for diet therapy, so I stewed some medicine for you. I hope it can help you recuperate.”

Tong Shaoxuan was almost dumbfounded: "Heaven...Tiangui...how can my mother tell you this?!"

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to be shocked about. After all, Tong Shaoxuan's confinement is still in the future, and A Niang has finished talking to Tang Jianwei about having a baby...

A Niang is no longer the A Niang she is familiar with!

But Tong Shaoxuan couldn't hold on in front of Tang Jianwei, his face flushed almost instantly.

Tang Jianwei stared intently at her cute appearance, and his voice subconsciously softened:

"I asked this on my own initiative, so don't blame your mother."

"You ask?"

"Well, didn't you say that I have learned some medical principles, and found out that you are weak and tired early in the morning. After asking your mother for the prescription you have taken, I am more sure of my guess. You need to replenish energy and strengthen qi. You have to start with your daily diet. The most important thing right now is to bring your menstrual water back. The crucian carp and mutton from the past few days can be adjusted, but it’s not enough to just eat these tonic soups, and they have to be used as medicine. It’s always slower. I also know that medicine is hard to take, so I’ll let you drink the soup for two days, and then take medicine. Two days of good food, one day of bitterness, is it better to take it together? The medicine is more promising? I have already thought about what to cook for you in the next two days."

"I, I know how to take medicine..."

"If you can handle it yourself, the menstruation will not be postponed until now. So you really didn't eat that pot of medicinal food? It's down?"

Tong Shaoxuan didn't speak.

"It's a pity." Tang Jian sighed slightly, "I have been stewing since the afternoon, and it took a lot of work. Fortunately, I had the foresight and left a portion of the medicinal materials. You go back and wait, you must drink the medicine today, otherwise Otherwise, there will be no good food tomorrow."

Speaking of Tang Jianwei was about to go to the kitchen, Tong Shaoxuan stopped him.

"I didn't fall, I'm still in the front hall, don't go."

"Oh? That's beyond my expectation."

The two stood opposite each other, speechless for a moment.

"I lost my temper with you just now, I was reckless." Tong Shaoxuan bowed to her and apologized.

Tang Jian smiled and said: "It's not like you to be so serious."

"Then, I'll go back and drink my medicine."

"Go, go, if it's cold, remember to warm it up before drinking."

"it is good."

The gauze lantern was swayed by the wind, Tong Shaoxuan passed through the wobbly lights and disappeared at the end of the veranda.

Tang Jianwei stood there watching for a while, was blown straight by the hood, and hurried into the house.

"The autumn in Su County is really unpredictable. The sun was shining brightly yesterday, but today the wind is blowing." Tang Jian slightly opened the window and glanced at the moonlight, frizzy, "It seems that the wind will not be small tomorrow. Sister, we have to prepare winter clothes."

Tong Shaoxuan returned to the front hall, the whole family was still there, and Tong Shaoqian, who came back from rinsing his mouth, just finished drinking the last bit of the soup, leaving nothing left.

"Absolutely, really absolutely."

After Tong Shaoqian finished drinking, he collapsed on the Hu chair. He was in a daze for a long time, still relishing the wonderful taste of this soup. He even forgot the pain of being rejected by Zhai Wulang. …

Tong Shaoqian held his sister's hand: "I now know why you like that Tang Jianwei. This woman has a hand."

Tong Shaoxuan cursed, broke away from her hand, and reopened the casserole.

Keep the casserole warm, and the medicine is still hot.

Tong Shaoxuan, who was used to taking medicine from snacks, has long mastered the skill of drinking medicine.

No matter how unpalatable or bitter the medicine is, as long as you don't taste it, it doesn't exist.

For the delicacy of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, do it!

Tong Shaoxuan pinched his nose to hold his breath, and directly picked up the casserole and poured it into his mouth.

Gudong Gudong Gudong...

Song Qiao: "You child, drink slowly, no one will grab you."

Tong Shaoxuan: "..."

I wish someone would come and grab it.

Just like the soup, there is no dregs left in this pot of medicine.

Tong Shaoxuan didn't want Tang Jianwei's kindness to be wasted, not at all.

The next day the academy happened to be closed for a day, Tong Shaoxuan called Shang Jixue and Uncle Chai to go out and buy some cotton clothes and thick quilts.

Ji Xue felt quite fresh: "Our fourth mother has grown up and knows how to start preparing winter clothes for the family."

Tong Shaoxuan didn't say anything at the time, after transporting the items back in a carriage, he said to Ji Xue:

"Help me send it to the west courtyard."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tong Shaoxuan: You feed me medicine and I will add clothes to you, I am really a good person regardless of previous suspicions (holding my bitter heart
