Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

After finishing the meals for the prince and the others, He Weiran greeted everyone and left the house with Li Kuer and the bamboo basket full of prawns.For some reason, after one afternoon, the prawns in the bamboo basket were still alive and kicking. Li Kuer asked He Weiran, and He Weiran only said, "So this bamboo basket is a gift from Ah Yan."

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the back door of the palace, Ah Yan turned out from the corner, still wearing the aqua blue smoked gauze and floral dress, with a preoccupied look.Li Ku'er thought to herself that she must be worried about the meeting with Su Qingzhuan later, hey, what should come will always come.

It was still early, and the people in the alley were either eating in the yard or preparing to eat. A few days ago, I saw Li Kuer often bring home the cook from the prince's mansion at the alley, and today he brought another Although I don't know her origin, she can tell at a glance how wealthy the girl is.The neighbors were discussing whether Li Kuer, the orphan left behind by Mr. Li, would have good luck this year. Some people who could chat with Li Kuer on weekdays leaned over the fence and asked her "Ku'er, who is this?" The question was straightforward.

Li Ku'er also answered smoothly: "This is sister He's friend, come to play with us for two days."

He Weiran also smiled and greeted those neighbors who were joining in the fun, and Mr. Heshen, the original look of sadness faded away completely, and changed the cold face that was not close to strangers at the beginning. Afraid of making people even more unhappy by asking a few more questions, he shrank back and ate his dinner embarrassingly.

Not long after, Li Kuer's home arrived.After opening the door and entering the courtyard, the door of the kitchen was half-closed, and the smell of zongzi wafted out. It seemed that Su Qingzhuo was steaming zongzi.Ah Yan shrugged her nose and looked at He Weiran with a tangled expression.He Weiran had no choice but to pull her wrist into the kitchen.Li Kuer wanted to follow up, but she seemed to have more important things to care about now...

"Aoi!"

Over there, yes, that is, on the opposite side of a fence wall, in the yard of Uncle and Aunt Liu's house, Ah Kui was sitting at someone's dining table with her back facing her, eating happily.When she heard Li Ku'er calling her, she turned her head quickly, and there were two grains of rice on her round fleshy face.Li Ku'er wanted to say, do you really need to eat, why waste other people's food, but how could you say such things in front of the family of three over there.

"Ha, Ku'er is back, do you want to have a meal?" Uncle Liu greeted her over there.

"No, no, I have guests at home today." Li Kuer pointed to the kitchen, and then said to Ah Kui as a sister, "Ah Kui, who told you to go to the next door for lunch? Thank you? "

Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "Oh, there's no need to be polite, isn't it just a meal. You came back so late in the past, I thought it was too pitiful for her to bask in the sun all day in the yard, so I asked her to have dinner together."

Poor... It's obviously her favorite thing.Li Kuer looked at Ah Kui who was sticking out her tongue at her, and said: "It seems that I will take her with me more in the future, so as not to keep her acting like a fool in front of you."

Aunt Liu was overjoyed, and joked, "What's the matter? In the future, Ah Kui will become my daughter-in-law, so these few meals today are nothing to worry about."

"mother!!"

That kid Liu Zhao was so frightening that he blushed and shy!Li Kuer decided to ask He Weiran immediately if it is a matter of heaven and earth to marry a man and a flower spirit.That's right, the signs of evil must be strangled to death in swaddling infancy!

"Akui, come back quickly after dinner, I'm going to entertain the guests first."

"Oh." Ah Kui nodded, seeing Li Kuer running into the kitchen, she turned around and continued to cook rice with a smile.

When Li Kuer entered the kitchen, what he saw was not the confrontation between the two parties as he had imagined.

He Weiran and Ah Yan sat side by side on a bench, waiting for something.He Weiran waved to Li Ku'er, then moved in, telling her to sit down too.She sat down next to the stool, glanced around, and saw Su Qingzhuan by the stove carefully peeling rice dumplings, peeled two, saw her come in, peeled one more, and put them into small bowls one by one inside.

Li Ku'er thought to himself, luckily he didn't have dinner, and he never thought that he would have such a job of tasting zongzi when he got home.After peeling the zongzi, Su Qingzhua washed her hands in the basin before coming over with the tray.The three of them took each, and Li Kuer was not in a hurry to eat, but just stared at how Lord River God reacted.

Su Qingbracelet looked nervous, holding the empty tray with both hands trembling slightly, the inexplicable blushes made her face even brighter.As for the river god Ayan, holding a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, he raised his eyes and looked at her with a serious look. With such affection and grievances.

With a chopstick down, the rice dumpling is split into two, exposing the soft and rotten pork belly inside, and a strong aroma diffuses, which makes people's appetite unstoppable.Li Kuer swallowed her saliva, and Ah Yan's throat rolled, she divided the rice dumplings into smaller ones, ate them one by one, blew them to cool down, put them in her mouth, chewed them slowly, she seemed to be somewhat satisfied with the aftertaste.Li Ku'er also hurriedly buried her head in eating to reduce the feeling of hunger in her stomach.

Although it is not as delicious as Sister He's cooking, it is already amazing... Li Kuer sighed.

"En." Ah Yan only uttered this sound, not knowing what it meant.She handed the empty bowl to Su Qingbracelet, Su Qingbracelet took it hastily, placed it on the side table with the tray, and asked in a soft voice: "Okay...is it delicious?"

Ah Yan didn't answer, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and said, "Put out your hand."

Su Qingzhuan didn't understand, but she stretched out her right hand timidly, her daughter's family was full of demeanor.Li Ku'er suddenly understood that Su Qingzhuan treated Lord Heshen with both attachment and reverence.In front of her, Lord Heshen was always as cold as ice, always serious and unsmiling.Maybe this is the character of the river god, but it is different in front of delicious rice dumplings and people who can make delicious rice dumplings.

Li Kuer and He Weiran were also curious about why Ah Yan asked Su Qingzhuo to reach out, but they saw that she took out a very small purse from her sleeve, and then took out five copper coins worth ten cents from the purse, a total of five Ten Wen coins were placed in Su Qingzhuan's palm.

Su Qingzhuo was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with tears instantly: "You...what do you mean? Do you want to use these five copper coins to pass my love for you?"

Seeing her tears, Ah Yan hurriedly stopped talking, and said in a low voice, "The glutinous rice is overcooked, and it smells a bit mushy. The juice in the glutinous rice can be richer."

"Then what does this have to do with you giving me money?" Su Qingzhuo sobbed softly.

He Weiran reacted immediately, and quickly smoothed things over: "Miss Su, don't be sad, Ah Yan is complimenting you."

"Praise me?" Su Qingzhuan wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still red.

He Weiran laughed, glanced at A Yan playfully, and explained: "Could it be that Miss Su doesn't know the legend about her in the world? There is a feast of the god of the river in the salty river, and it is delicious to eat rice dumplings. She often turns into a mortal and goes to the market to buy rice dumplings, which is inferior." Ten renminbi, [-] renminbi for the middle class, [-] renminbi for the top class, and no expense spared for the top class. You see, she gave you [-] renminbi, which is already a first-class evaluation. It’s the first time you can have this skill, already It’s very talented.”

Li Kuer also suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Then Miss Su, if you work harder and make high-quality zongzi, can you ask Sister Ah Yan?"

"Really?" Su Qingzhuan was very pleasantly surprised when she heard the words, and looked at Ah Yan expectantly.Ah Yan slashed at Li Ku'er, and said with a straight face, "I never made such a promise, but if you can really learn Miss He's skill of cooking rice dumplings, I can consider letting you." Follow me."

"Okay, okay..." Su Qingzhuan cried and laughed at the same time, the word "good" was still trembling.

The corner of Ah Yan's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "What are you doing so excitedly, I just let you follow me, and you can make rice dumplings for me all the time."

Su Qingbracelet would not be so depressed, she clenched the five copper plates tightly in her hand, and said: "As long as I can follow you, I am already satisfied." After saying that, she bowed deeply to He Weiran again, and said: "Thank you Miss He, please forgive me for the disrespect before."

He Weiran hurriedly helped her up, and said, "Where is that, Miss Su, you don't have to be polite. Whether you can make the zongzi that Ah Yan wants in the end depends on your own ability."

She gave Su Qingzhuan some suggestions for improvement, Su Qingzhuan hurriedly wrote it down carefully, and went to prepare another steaming basket.Li Kuer helped clean up the stove, only to find that there were dozens of zongzi piled up in the corner, some were raw, some were of bad color, and some were not tied tightly, and the glutinous rice leaked out from the gaps. It never stopped from morning to night.

How can He Weiran's rice dumpling cooking skills be limited to egg yolk meat dumplings?Bean paste rice dumpling, white sugar rice dumpling, red bean rice dumpling, ham rice dumpling, and the eel rice dumpling that I made just a while ago... One by one, she needs to learn ten percent of what is recorded in the book before she can reach it. feast request.Calculated in this way, if there is no ten days and a half months, it will definitely not be possible.

Ah Yan wanted to take a step ahead and come to her after she passed He Weiran's barrier, but He Weiran insisted on keeping her behind.Now Li Kuer's house is really going to be lively for a while, but she is also very happy, not only because it is no longer deserted under this roof, but also, why Weiran will continue to live here for a few more days.

The author has something to say: just captured a river god so easily, alas, where is the entanglement of love and hate?I'm going to piss myself off.
