The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

Meaningful

Lin Ming said as if nothing had happened: "There are a lot of delicious food here in Jinling, this store only has small wontons, I will ask Siji to buy some other food." After he said this, the roots of his ears still turned red uncontrollably.

Such a subtle change did not escape Xue Yan's eyes, but she did not say it out, she just smiled and said, "How much food can the two of us eat? If we can't eat it, it will be a waste."

Lin Ming replied with a smile: "I heard that you ate very rich Jinling dishes that day, and you got tired of eating big fish and meat, so you might as well try some porridge and small dishes."

It's not time for dinner yet, and there are not many customers in the store, so the proprietress quickly prepared two bowls of wontons and brought them up.Although the bowl used is a bit rough, the soup base is very delicate. Shrimp skin, seaweed, egg skin and coriander powder are combined to form a colorful pattern, and small and exquisite wontons are floating on it.

Snow Goose took a sip, and the fresh and umami taste hit her face, definitely not comparable to those soup bases blended with flavors in her previous life.Carefully scoop up a spoonful of it and let it cool, wow, it tastes really good.

Seeing that the bowl was not too small, Xueyan thought she would not be able to finish it, but after eating a few wontons, she found that there was just too much soup, and there were only eight small wontons.Just when Xueyan was worried that he would not have enough to eat, I saw Siji came back bouncing around with a tray.With a smile, he brought a large bowl from the tray to the table, and put the other paper bags on the table one by one, and then said: "Take it easy, you two, I'll go and return the things." After finishing speaking , ran away yo-yo.

Seeing his retreating back, Lin Ming curled his lips helplessly: "This kid has always been so unsteady, I'll teach him a lesson some other day." After finishing speaking, he asked the proprietress here to order two small bowls, scooped one The bowl of soup was placed in front of Xueyan: "This is the very famous duck blood vermicelli soup in the local area, try it."

Duck blood vermicelli soup?This shop has been opened all over the country in the previous life, and Xueyan has liked it for a long time, but the problem of food safety has become more prominent, because the quality of duck blood is not sure, so Xueyan seldom eats this.The duck blood here is all natural without any additives. Snow Goose took a sip. The shop's craftsmanship is good, without any smell of duck blood. Put some chili oil here, spicy and smooth, very delicious tasty.

Seeing her eating happily, Lin Ming himself laughed too.He opened the other paper bags, pointed to Xueyan one by one, and said, "Eat slowly, there are also beef pot stickers, Ruyi back-salted dry, and spiced beans, if you eat too much of these, you won't be able to eat them."

So Xueyan put down the half-eaten duck blood vermicelli soup, and then ate something else.

Because there are too many types, you will be full after just tasting each one.

After eating, she hugged her stomach and spread it out on the chair: "Now, let's eat all the Jinling snacks, right?"

Before Lin Ming could reply, the proprietress next to her laughed and said, "Where are we going? There are twenty or thirty kinds of famous snacks here, and the girl only ate a few of them. That's all. Well, if we don’t eat our famous assorted tofu, it’s nothing.”

"Assorted tofu?" The name sounds delicious, Xueyan's eyes widened, and asked: "Dare to ask this big sister, there are some for sale around here.

Is it? "

The lady proprietress pointed to a shop diagonally opposite and said, "Here, that shop makes tofu. The taste is very authentic, but this thing is only sold in the morning. They all get up in the middle of the night to make tofu, and they rest after selling. You can eat it if you want." We can only come back tomorrow.”

It's going to be tomorrow, I guess I won't be able to eat it.Xueyan thought regretfully, she couldn't go so far to buy it tomorrow morning just because of a stutter.

Forget it, isn’t it just tofu nao, maybe you can eat it when you go to Huguang.

Lin Ming looked at her from the opposite side, his eyes suddenly lost their spirit, and he secretly had an idea in his heart.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Lin Ming asked again: "You bought so many things for your girl, why don't you have anything you want to buy?"

Xueyan smiled lightly and shook her head: "There is nothing to buy, there is no shortage of clothes and jewelry. We still have to go to Huguang, and it will be troublesome to buy too much. Besides, how do you know that I didn't buy anything for myself just now?" ?" She blinked slyly like a little fox, Lin Ming's heart skipped a beat when she saw it.

Even though Xue Yan was a bit thick-skinned, his face felt a little hot when he stared at him like this, so he couldn't help but angrily said, "What are you looking at?" Lin Ming smiled and said, "I was thinking that you are so fickle, you will change your appearance after a while , making people elusive, I'm afraid I'm the only one who doesn't dislike your troublesome things."

"I don't have too many things to trouble me? You are so bloody! Huh!" Xueyan imitated the routine in the romantic drama back then and gave a counterattack unceremoniously. Mr. Lin, who had no experience in fighting the enemy, was instantly defeated and looked up. I apologized with a silly smile.

Not to mention, the feeling of being cared for is really good.

After returning to the inn, the things Xueyan bought had already been delivered.

Daiyu smiled at her and said, "I knew it would be most suitable for you to entrust this job, but I'm afraid that the little money is not enough to just buy these brocades. Could it be that you paid for it yourself?"

Xue Yan replied with a smile: "That's not true. The servant girl bought it for 200 taels of silver, but this brocade was not included. The servant girl saw that the brocade brocade was not bad, although it was not as exquisite as the girl's designs, but we used up all the brocade. enough."

Zhu Mei echoed: "No wonder, sister Zijuan just said that the second master Lian gave the girl several brocades, there is really no need to buy these, I guess my sister must have some ulterior motives."

Hearing this, Zijuan smiled uncomfortably: "I didn't mean anything else, I just mentioned it casually."

Xueyan gave Zhu Mei a wink, and said with a smile: "Zhu Mei is just joking. The brocade here is much cheaper than in Beijing. If you like it, you can pick one."

"Really? That's a good relationship. I want this emerald green one, which happens to have willow leaf patterns on it, and it matches my name too well." Cui Liu was the first to speak.

The others were a little embarrassed at first, but as soon as she started, everyone demanded one or the other.some can't

There were so many, so two or three people bought one together, and eight were quickly taken away, leaving only a bright red and a honey-colored brocade for the snow geese. debtors.

Daiyu saw that the velvet flowers bought by Xueyan were exquisite in workmanship, so she took out a box and shared it with everyone.

Everyone cheered and went to one side to discuss how to make the clothes. Only Mother Cheng looked at Xueyan with a smile and said: "This big red horse with lotus pattern can be used as a wedding dress."

Everyone else was amused, only Xueyan was startled, why did these words sound meaningful.
