Daiyu's foodie system [Red Mansion]
Chapter 23
The conversation turned.
Since Daiyu ate the spicy strips, her taste buds are fresh, and she only feels that the taste is smooth and she can do things much more quickly.
Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root is a famous sweet in the south, and the sweet and greasy taste is intoxicating.
Because of her father, Daiyu had a preference for salty food since she was a child. At first she disliked it in every possible way, but when she tasted it by chance, she felt the sweet and crispy honey lingering on the tip of her tongue, and she fell in love with it ever since.
With slender fingers, she gently held the silver chopsticks to pick up the sliced lotus root. The lotus root had been boiled to be extremely tender, and with a little force, the soft and delicious sticky glutinous rice was embedded.
Daiyu failed many times because it was overcooked, the glutinous rice leaked, or the lotus root was undercooked, which was extremely hard to bite.
She figured out a few routines and carefully wrote them down on rice paper for easy inspection.For example, the cooking time in the pot should be sufficient and the heat should be appropriate to ensure the stickiness of the glutinous rice and the softness of the lotus root.
Or you have to be very picky about the shape of the lotus root, and you need to keep both ends intact so that the glutinous rice will not be exposed.
If there is a gap in the lotus root, it will change from cooking dessert to cooking rice porridge after being put into the pot, which is so frustrating.
The rich and fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus penetrates the mouth and nose with the long air, and then puts an appropriate amount of red yeast rice in it for seasoning. When the viscous brown sugar juice swells, the glutinous rice and lotus root are soft and firm, and the outer ring is red and bright, and Daiyu will Scoop it out of the pan with a large spoon and place on a plate.
Sprinkle with sweet osmanthus, and the delicious dish is ready.
Daiyu was very happy, and when the poetry banquet was given to everyone to taste, the side task could be regarded as done.
Xueyan was cleaning the bookcase with a feather duster, her eyes were fixed on the dishes on the wooden table, she didn't pay attention to the front, and bumped into the bookshelf without paying attention.
The books on the bookshelf fell down with a clatter, and she was smashed on the head in an instant.
Zijuan and Daiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and called a few servants to help her up, and put the books back in a hurry.
Daiyu held up her handkerchief and smiled lightly: "You little hoof, you're a glutton. If you really want to eat, I'll test your knowledge. If you pass, I'll be up to you. If you don't pass, you will be punished." of."
Xueyan pursed her lips aggrievedly, "Our girl is really shrewd. She knows that I am illiterate, but she still wants to test my knowledge. She just wants to punish me on purpose. Just say it. Why bother talking about this!"
Zijuan snatched the feather duster with a smile, and hit her on the head with a "snap", "You little bastard, the girl likes you in the test, how difficult can the question be? Don't be ignorant, thank you soon It is."
Xueyan rubbed her head, her voice was petite: "If you want to take the exam, you should take the exam. There is only one thing, I don't study well, so you are not allowed to laugh at me."
Both of them smiled and nodded, "Just don't make fun of me, what are you afraid of?"
Daiyu bent down to pick up a rhyme book, and turned the pages softly, "Since you want to eat this sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, then use the five-character poem as an excuse, use the five characters 'osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root' as a thimble, and say whether it rhymes or not. You just do it."
Xueyan glanced at the fragrant cakes on the table, thought for a while, and said cruelly: "I'll just say something, the girl is knowledgeable, but jokes are not allowed.
I once remembered an ancient book, which said that Empress Chen personally built the "Osmanthus Palace" for his concubine Zhang Lihua. He stood in the courtyard, planted an osmanthus plant, placed a medicine pestle and mortar under the tree, and another concubine Zhang domesticated a white rabbit. , It is always in the middle of it alone, which is called the "Moon Palace".Then I will use this allusion to write a poem, girl listen carefully:
Guiyue has concubines,
The flowers and branches are gradually cooling and fragrant.
The glutinous language wine is in full swing,
The fragrance of rice is rich and elegant.
Lotus root... lotus root..."
Xueyan got stuck, and Daiyu smiled and said: "The words are clear and beautiful, the allusions are novel, meaningless is a good word. As long as you say the last sentence, I will give you all the cakes for today. Whether you eat or not is entirely up to you. "
Xueyan hopped anxiously, thought for a long time, sweated all over in anxiety, and was afraid that the pastry would lose its taste when it was too cold, so she said in a hurry: "Miss, I have it! The glutinous language wine is in full swing, and the rice is fragrant and elegant. The lotus root... The new taste of lotus root is so strong that it will make people hungry!"
Daiyu and Zijuan laughed out loud, their stomachs hurt from laughing.
"You little hoof..."
"It's really hard for you. When you come up with this kind of poem, you are not afraid of being laughed at. If you don't give it to you, I'm afraid you will get hungry. If it spreads, outsiders will only say that I am an unreasonable girl.
Others always boil the girl to get sick or get sick from anger, but here, it's a sick child born from greed. "
Xueyan stuck out her little tongue, leaned over and took away the plate on the table, and went out to the next room to enjoy the delicious food by herself.
Zijuan didn't go, she is also slightly older than Xueyan, since she was trained last time, she is used to be a good person.
I went to boil hot water to help Daiyu wash her hands, and took an apron to change for her.
Baoyu's voice suddenly sounded from outside: "Is sister Lin here?"
Daiyu was startled, and looked at the flour and dust on her body, some of which could not be seen.
Although she doesn't care about Baoyu's opinion now, it's always bad for a lady of a family to meet a man like this.
Fortunately, Baoyu has been rejected by her recently, and has learned to be smart and likable.Know how to call the door first when entering the house, and no longer rush in rashly.
In this way, Daiyu felt a little relieved. She thought he was a fool, but she was a bit smart.
Recently, Daiyu read some storybooks, about the interesting stories about the big families in ancient times, if there was a son born with a vision in the mansion, who would not cover it up for fear that the palace people would know.
Emperors from ancient times to the present have always liked to have power in their hands, and they didn't like anyone to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
If it is known that there is a young man born with a vision, he must give gold and silver precious objects on the surface, and secretly kill him with a knife behind his back.
After all, no one knows what this person's strangeness means, and the emperor is always cautious, what if this person is here to grab the throne?
If it is a woman, it is very different.The family members will invite gods, Buddhas and Taoists to tell their fortunes. Whether it is true or not, there will be rumors that "if you marry this woman, you will be able to control the territory of the world".
Once a person carries usable value, her worth will become extremely precious, and even death will have to be considered for a long time.
Once the woman reaches the age, the emperor and those who want to rebel and usurp the throne will flock to marry her.
Daiyu couldn't help but think carefully in her heart, why did she change when she came to the Rong Mansion?
There are no sisters at home, and there is no sister Daiyu who is like a fairy. Only Baoyu's miraculous "born with jade" will be touted to the sky by everyone, and you are not afraid that those in power will find out?
Jia's mother was partial to Baoyu, and once said that Baoyu's "jade" was the lifeblood, and she could not abandon gold and silver alone.
Daiyu happened to go to Yihong Courtyard to chat with Baoyu to relieve boredom, and saw Xiren and Qiuwen holding the jade as a precious treasure and keeping it close to Baoyu.
Before going to bed at night, wrap it in brocade silk and put it under the pillow to keep warm.
If he wakes up during the day and the jade is still cold, he will scold everyone, and it will be so cold that Second Master Bao, the wealthy young master who is pampered by thousands of people, will scold everyone.
Although Daiyu is extremely intelligent, she can't understand what everyone's intentions are.
Are you not afraid of Long Yan's wrath if you publicize Baoyu's goodness and Baoyu's beauty so much?If Jia Zheng and others' official careers in the court were damaged, wouldn't they lose their wives and soldiers.
But the more time passes, the more Daiyu sees it clearly. This publicity about the specialness of Second Master Bao is probably due to Mrs. Wang's plan and the help of Jia Mu and others.
Daiyu usually wants to talk about these things to relieve her boredom, but she can't talk to the maids, so she can only find some confidants in the female family members at home.
There are few sisters in the mansion, she has never met Yuanchun a few times, only Yuanchun was in a hurry when visiting relatives, and she couldn't talk about feelings; I can't get along with her; Xichun is young, and her mind is a little simple. She is a good companion when she writes poems and eats wine on weekdays, but she is not in the same place when chatting.
Shi Xiangyun has a straightforward personality, and he and Daiyu can chat easily.
It's a pity that she can't live in the mansion permanently, and things in her house are a mess. A good young lady is not as good as a girl in clothes, and she needs to sew purses and shoe soles by herself, so she doesn't have much time to tease her sisters.
Daiyu can only be friends with Tanchun. Although their personalities are somewhat different, they live a long life in the house, so they are playmates after all.
Tanchun is also a daring to speak and act, and likes to speak out about things he is not used to.Daiyu also likes her, and she hates the kind of villain who acts one way on the outside and abuses the other in secret.
Tanchun once stated in private that Mrs. Wang's move was intentional.
When her eldest son Jia Zhu was alive, she still had a place in the Rong Mansion.Since Jia Zhu passed away and Wang Xifeng married in as the head of the house, all the power of housekeeping fell into Xifeng's hands, leaving no loopholes for Mrs. Wang and the Xing family.
Xifeng said she was still Mrs. Wang's nephew, if she said she was not jealous, it would be a lie.If you talk about jealousy, you can't express it openly.
What's more, there was a little fly in front of her eyes—Aunt Zhao, who kept buzzing and making trouble. Madam Wang naturally thought of some countermeasures to increase her social status.
Then the miraculous event of "being born with jade" really dealt a severe blow to Aunt Zhao, Xifeng, Mrs. Xing and others.
In this mansion, girls, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law still have to recognize a godfather or raise a powerful godson.Not to mention the young daughter-in-law, who has no status in Rongfu.
It's a pity that in this world, women only think that "mother is more valuable than son" and "husband is more valuable than wife".No matter how strong Sister Feng's personality was, she became more and more powerful, but she couldn't give birth to Jia Lian's son after all.
Therefore, when Baoyu was born, Mrs. Wang spread the anecdote to the public, which can be said to shock everyone.
This kind of strange incident had a great impact, and it was spread as a good story in Jia's mansion in a short time.
Xifeng hugged Sister Qiao, her words were sour: "What kind of a guy is he, you will only know when you grow up. Although it is rare in the world to be born with jade, but if you continue to pamper and spoil him, sooner or later you will be raised and disabled."
It's not that no one in the mansion said such things.It's just that it can't be heard by Mrs. Wang, and it's just a joke after dinner.
But compared with Daiyu, Baoyu is still lucky, at least her parents are still alive and loved by her relatives.
Since her parents passed away one after another, Daiyu once felt that she was alone in her natal family, and that she would have no parents to make decisions about her marriage in the future, and once Jiamu was safe, she would be alone here, with no one to rely on.
At that time, who will treat her with sincerity?
Even though Mrs. Wang and Xifeng comforted her a few words without pain, there was pity in their words.
This kind of pitiful consolation, Daiyu, a pure and wonderful person, would rather not have it than wrong her sincerity.
