After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

Xie Niannian thanked Aunt Rong and persuaded her to stay for dinner.

But Aunt Rong couldn't sit still, she would come to help Xie Niannian before finishing a cup of tea.

"I'm used to taking care of the young lady. I watched the young lady grow up." She put down a box of mung bean cakes and introduced to Xie Niannian: "The mung bean cakes from the old store in the south of the city, the lady likes to eat. The owner of the store is no longer selling it. This time it's me. It was a special request to get such a box."

Xie Niannian also picked up a piece to taste, it was sweet and delicate, with a faint floral fragrance.

After tasting it, she took out a small bag of mung beans from the cupboard, and it seemed that she wanted to reproduce the mung bean cake.

"I looked at this house, and there were fewer and fewer people. After the master left, the lady seldom came home. The lady wouldn't let us follow, and I was always worried that she wouldn't be able to eat well or sleep well."

Aunt Rong watched Xie Niannian steaming mung beans and mixing them with honey, a gleam of relief flashed in her cloudy eyes.

"Now that I have a lady and a wife, I can count on a job with the master."

"Oh, miss, you let me do the washing."

Aunt Rong saw the overlapping shadows holding bundles of cabbages, and hurriedly wanted to take them to wash the vegetables by herself.

Die Ying refused to let go, Xie Niannian hurriedly pulled Aunt Rong to sit down, patted her hand and said comfortingly: "Let Die Ying do it, just sit down and watch."

"But……"

Aunt Rong was interrupted by Xie Niannian before she finished speaking.

"Chi Qing refuses to let you follow, so why not have the idea of ​​letting you spend your old age peacefully. Don't let her down."

As she said that, she began to fry the mung bean paste. She estimated that it was almost ready, and then pressed it into a mold to form it.

On the table was a bunch of pale yellow flowers, Xie Niannian pushed the mung bean cake in front of Aunt Rong, motioning her to have a taste.

With just one bite, Aunt Rong covered her mouth in surprise, the mung bean cake was eighty percent similar to the one she brought!

The taste is soft and sandy, sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance of mung beans spreads between the lips and teeth, with a little coolness, refreshing.

Xie Niannian also ate a piece himself, but before he could swallow it, he said vaguely with puffed cheeks: "It almost smells like flowers, maybe it's the boss's secret recipe. If Chi Qing prefers this fragrance, I can't help it."

Aunt Rong held half a piece of mung bean cake and remained silent for a while.

She thought of the new swing in the yard, the peach blossoms flying obliquely across the yard wall, and the little white rabbit squatting quietly in the bamboo fence.

And the cooking smoke was rising from the stove in front of him, soup was stewed in the casserole, brown sugar steamed buns were on the steamer, and Xie Niannian was directing Duoying to fry Chinese cabbage.

Her vision gradually blurred, and through the warm yellow light and shadow, she seemed to see the bustling Chi Mansion again.

Aunt Rong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's good, it's really good."

The family had a happy dinner.

Xie Niannian marinated the pork belly, and the freshly caught prickly ash from Na Caili is fragrant and numb.Fried into a small basket of golden and crispy meat, used as a snack.

She chewed on the crispy meat, watched Aunt Rong make a big pot of scented tea, and looked at herself kindly.

Being stared at like this, Xie Niannian suddenly felt panicked.

"Miss Madam, come, let me tell you about the process of this wedding."

After speaking, Aunt Rong took out a scroll and unfolded it, covering the entire table from beginning to end.

Xie Niannian was so surprised that he stopped eating, what is this?

"We started with the decorations for the wedding..."

Aunt Rong poured a cup of scented tea and wrote "one" on the paper.

After half an hour.

The whole basket of crispy meat was wiped off by Xie Niannian, and the scented tea had also bottomed out.But before Aunt Rong finished speaking, she wrote "Seventeen" on the paper, and very calmly wanted to chat with Xie Niannian about the dishes at the wedding.

"Dishes?" Xie Niannian, who was already drowsy, woke up instantly as if some switch had been pressed.

She's not very good at picking vases and satins, and she's not good at decorating staff, but she's familiar with the food!

She looked at the list made by Aunt Rong, took a pen and began to write and draw on it.

"The bean paste dumpling is too sweet, Chi Qing doesn't like it, I can make it myself."

"The pork knuckle in sauce is a bit greasy, why don't you change it to chopped pepper?"

Now it was Aunt Rong's turn to be stunned.

When she first saw this young lady, she looked cute and cute, and she was quite shy. Who knew that she could be so talkative when it came to food.

So when Chi Qing came back from practice with Duoying, he saw the little one and the big one sitting around the table, discussing.Especially Xie Niannian, with his small mouth, he never stops talking while writing.

"What are you doing?" Chi Qing glanced, speechless at the messy papers on the table.

Xie Niannian smiled brightly, and just now she was excited to speak. At this time, her cheeks were still stained red, and she waved to Chi Qing: "Come on, we are talking about the wedding banquet."

Chi Qing was pulled to sit down, picked up a piece of paper——

The pattern sample, paper type, color, etc. of the invitation are densely written and extremely detailed.

Even red lists seven or eight different reds, a choice phobia nightmare.

"Aunt Rong said that guests are going to be entertained, so these must be arranged properly." Xie Niannian looked at the messy provisions in a daze, and was a little embarrassed: "But I have never done such a thing. Do I want to learn it?"

I think that since she came to Fengjing, besides cooking and running the restaurant, she just eats, drinks and has fun every day. Most of the people she knows are from Tianshu Division, and there are some interesting diners.

The little days were very nourishing, but it was only at this time that I realized that I might be very different from a lady in the traditional sense.A small gathering of a few people is okay, but a big banquet with hundreds of people is not easy.

"Why do you want to learn, these things are very boring." Chi Qing threw the rice paper on the table, and took the menu in Xie Niannian's hand: "As for the guests, it's too tiring to argue with those people, why don't we have a family banquet .”

"But where is Your Majesty?" Aunt Rong was very aware of Chi Qing's temper, and she never thought that Chi Qing would be able to throw a big feast, but just acted according to the past situation of Chi's family.

"Just give her something to eat, she won't mind"

The dismissive tone made Xie Niannian and Aunt Rong very helpless.

"Forget it, it's all up to the young lady to decide. If there is anything to do, just ask someone to find me."

Aunt Rong was no longer obsessed with those family rules and regulations, and let Xie Niannian and the others choose by themselves, got up and said goodbye, and went home to tease her grandson.

There were only the two of them left in the lobby. Xie Niannian lost all scruples and lay down on the table, stretching his limbs to relax.She tilted her head slightly, the "choice of tea" came into her eyes, and she closed her eyes after just one glance.

She sighed softly: "This is too complicated."

"It wasn't such a trouble at first." Chi Qing started to tidy up her things, she gathered up the messy papers on the table and folded them neatly, except for Xie Niannian's menu, which was left alone.

"The emperors who came to the banquet put forward more and more requirements. Those who want to drink Longjing before the rain must use a white horse-drawn carriage. The rules of the wedding banquet have become more and more complicated. It has been so redundant until now."

"It's really troublesome, it's better to give up all of them and keep the menu from year to year."

"Does the emperor participate in the wedding banquet of each generation of the Chi family's head?"

Xie Niannian was surprised, she thought it was because Chi Qing and Zhao Zhuoqu had a good relationship that she was invited here, but unexpectedly it was a tradition of the Chi family.

"Yeah." After tidying up his things, Chi Qing had nothing else to do, so he simply started playing with Xie Niannian's hair that was hanging down at his hand.The black hair twisted around her fingers a few times before she said leisurely: "Before the founding of the Great Yue Dynasty, our ancestors were just rangers. When they were dying, they were rescued by Emperor Taizong. Afterwards, they followed Taizong on expeditions to the north and south, and established a foundation for eternal life. "

"In the end, I gave up my fame and title, willing to be the sword in Taizong's hand, and made an oath that the Chi family will always be loyal to the emperor of Dayue and be in charge of Tianshusi."

There is a story to listen to, Xie Niannian sat up again, there is no need to speak, the upturned corners of his mouth will express his meaning.Being looked at by her pair of Yingying Qiushui pupils will always make people say more unconsciously.

Xie Niannian let Chi Qing's childish actions urge him: "And then?"

"Then? The story of confidantes reciprocating life and death only exists between the ancestors and Taizong. Later emperors took over the Chi family's good knife, even if they didn't want to use it well, they didn't want to give it up. They had to use various means to beat it. bound by rules."

It was originally a heart-stirring family story of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. Xie Niannian listened with enthusiasm, but Chi Qing lowered his brows and eyes, pursed his mouth, and complained: "The ancestor's oath cannot be broken, so if you don't want to do it, you have to keep doing it."

Xie Niannian was amused by this appearance of being forced to work, and after laughing, he couldn't help thinking: "What kind of person should Taizong be, so that your ancestors can follow him willingly?"

"I don't know, the past cannot be tested."

Chi Qing replied lazily, his eyes were slightly raised, and there was brilliance flowing.She suddenly changed the subject: "If it was Niannian, I would be willing to be your knife."

"What kind of knife?" Xie Niannian blinked, asked himself and answered, "A kitchen knife. That's too inferior."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that Chi Qing had really cut vegetables for herself when she was in Xuanzhou.

At that time, she didn't know that it was a knife technique that had been honed over thousands of years, and it was supposed to be a sharp long knife.

But he is willing to pick up an ordinary kitchen knife and cut out slices of meat as thin as onion wings and shredded radish as thin as snow.

"How come, I won't do it in the future, I will go to work for Niannian in exchange for food. I am well supported.

Her ending was slightly upturned, like a small hook, which just caught Xie Niannian's soft heart.Xie Niannian can't wait to go out to make money right away, so that the golden house can hide her beauty.

From teasing her according to Xie Niannian's words, to learning how to act like a baby and get attention, Chi Qing has already become extremely proficient in the past.

And Xie Niannian looked at Chi Qing's beautiful face every day, and was familiar with her words, so he said——

Said not immune!Immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely be able to gain another three catties of Chi Qing.

Chi Qing: ""

In order to prevent Xie Niannian from starting her soup-making business again, she quickly changed the subject: "Does Niannian make amber candy? I want a special color."

"Amber candy? Yes, you eat it?" Xie Niannian didn't know why.

"No, use it to bluff people."
