[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Jia Zheng never seemed to have praised him so much.

Jia Baoyu was a little dazed. He tried his best to suppress the soreness in his eyes, but there was still some unavoidable choking feeling in his voice: "...I...I will."

Jia Zheng heard that Jia Baoyu's voice was not right, he raised his head and glanced at his son, frowned slightly: "You don't have to be so restrained, if you can go on like this, it's not in vain, old lady Good for you."

After all, Jia Zheng was Jia Zheng, and in the end he returned to a cold and hard state, but Jia Baoyu had never felt paternal love from his father, so that when Baoyu came from Jia Zheng's study When he came back, he started flipping through the books on his bookshelf as if he had been injected with blood.

It's just that the heat came and went quickly, and not long after Jia Baoyu sat down, he began to feel that the people in front of him were really annoying, even those four books and five classics seemed boring.

These fame and fortune are nothing but dust, why do people in the world desperately pursue them?

Baoyu looked at the Book of Songs in front of him, and couldn't help sighing again—that is, the Book of Songs was still barely noticeable.

Just in time, there was the laughter of the maids outside the window. Baoyu looked out the window longingly, wanting to throw down the book in his hand and run out to play with the maids, but as soon as he moved, he thought of What Jia Zheng said to him in the study.

So when Lizhi brought today's snacks, he was surprised to find that Jia Baoyu was actually reading in the room, and he was reading it seriously.

"Is it true?" Li Zhi couldn't help but wonder, "Bao Yu knows he's working hard! This is a good thing."

But Ren glanced at her, and couldn't help saying: "As long as it's not a whim, it's called Amitabha."

"Sister Keren, please don't disappoint," Lizhi handed her the food box in her hand, "Baoyu must be tired after reading for so long, but why don't sister Keren hurry up and deliver something?"

Keren sighed, took the food box from Lizhi's hand, and suddenly felt a sinking feeling.The delicate maid almost lost her grip, she looked at Lizhi with surprise on her face: "What is this thing today? Why is it so heavy?"

Li Zhi giggled: "Sister Keren can open it and have a look."

The charming girl next to her couldn't hold back any longer, when she heard what Li Zhi said, she said, "Look, what a good thing today."

Keren carefully opened the lid of the food box, and when they saw the things inside the food box, both Keren and Charm were stunned.

I saw a wooden pen holder inside the food box, which looked very simple and heavy at first glance, and a row of brushes were placed on the pen holder from large to small.And next to the pen holder, there was a small azure plate with black ink in it.

Keren: ...

The two big maids stared at the pen holder and ink in the food box for a long time, then turned their heads to look at the litchi, but they asked cautiously: "...Litchi, did you take the wrong thing? Who did you meet? Has anyone touched this food box?"

But after being a maid for so many years, she has developed a mind that is always vigilant.Seeing the pen holder brush in the food box that has nothing to do with the food, I subconsciously thought that the litchi had been tricked.

Lizhi was still waiting for the compliment from the two of them, but when she heard such a question from Keren, she couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.She quickly explained: "Sister Ren, these brushes are edible."

Ke Ren and Mei Ren looked at Li Zhi suspiciously, clearly disbelieving.

"You explain it clearly to me, otherwise you can't give it to Baoyu," Keren said, "Mother Zhao has become more and more dexterous recently, and this brush can be eaten? I don't believe it."

Lizhi couldn't, so he could only roll up his sleeves a little, reached out from the food box and took out the smallest writing brush, and held it up to Ke Ren and Charming: "Look, sister, the tip of this brush looks like a brush tip. It's actually edible."

"Can it be eaten?" Keren let out a small exclamation, and leaned closer to the tip of the brush, wanting to take a closer look.However, no matter how many times she looked at it, the brush still looked like an ordinary brush, but it did smell a little bit sweet.

Meiren also looked at it for a long time, the two big maids stared at each other for a long time before shaking their heads together: "It's really unbelievable."

But since Lizhi is so swearing, it seems to be true.Forgive Lizhi for not having the guts to make trouble.

"Forget it, then let me take it in." Keren closed the lid of the food box, and then lifted the food box, "It's really heavy."

-

Jia Baoyu reluctantly sat in the study for a while, he couldn't bear it any longer, and was about to throw away the pen in his hand and go outside, but someone came in with a food box in his hand.

It's just that today's Keren seems to be struggling, and walking with the food box is called being careful and slow.Jia Baoyu also noticed Ke Ren's strangeness, and he couldn't help asking: "Sister Ke Ren, what's wrong?"

"Today's dim sum is a bit heavier," Keren smiled, with a mysterious expression on his face, "It's you, see you later, don't be surprised."

Baoyu suddenly became curious: "What can surprise me? Good sister, put down that food box quickly and let me take a closer look."

But people put on a trick instead, she put the food box far away from Jia Baoyu, and didn't come over, just smiled at him: "Then let's have a good talk, if you are caught by this person today If I am surprised, what good will I do?"

"Good sister, what do you like here, just take it." Jia Baoyu scratched his head anxiously, and said nice words without money, "Could it be that my sister doesn't like my things?"

But the person shook the veil inside his hand, raised his eyebrows: "I don't care about those things of yours. But seeing you are so sure, I want to see it even more. You see the appearance of eating like this .”

Saying that, Keren waved at Baoyu: "Come here, take a closer look."

Baoyu rushed over immediately, he ran to the round table excitedly, stretched his neck, took a look inside the food box, and was immediately dumbfounded.

"This... this..." Baoyu looked at Keren, then at the brush holder brush and ink in the food box, and suddenly seemed to be puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, "My dear sister, do you want to learn from that Wang Youjun? Do you use pens as chopsticks and ink as your food?"

But Ren snorted softly: "I don't know what is left and right. You just boasted about Haikou and said that you won't be surprised. How are you doing now?"

"But this... Isn't this a brush and ink?" Jia Baoyu felt very novel, and stood by the table and turned around, making people dizzy. "How can I eat this?"

"Oh, my little ancestor, don't turn around," Keren shook his head, "I'd better ask Lizhi to come in, so I can talk to you."

Jia Baoyu immediately thought of Lychee, and hurriedly said, "Quick, call her in."

Keren rushed outside and shouted: "Lichi? Lizhi, come in quickly."

"Hey." Li Zhi responded crisply, opened the curtain and came in.She saluted Jia Baoyu skillfully, then stood still, stood at the door, and said with a smile: "Second Master, don't panic, this brush is naturally edible."

Jia Baoyu was very curious: "Then how do we eat it? What is this thing made of?"

"Second Master, let's try it first," Li Zhi said deliberately, "use the brush to dip in the ink, and eat the end of the brush."

When Jia Baoyu heard the words, he followed them.He picked up a brush, dipped the nib into some ink in the saucer, and swallowed the nib in one gulp.

I saw that he frowned at first, then he relaxed a little bit, and the frequency of chewing also increased slightly, and at the end, Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up as he ate.After he swallowed what was in his mouth, he immediately yelled: "What is this? It's really amazing. It's made like a brush, but it tastes soft and sweet. It's even better when you dip it in the ink. It has a sweet taste, which is really good."

Lizhi grinned. The chef is always the happiest when his work is well received.

Not to mention Jia Baoyu's support.

Seeing that he had sold enough Guanzi, Lizhi finally deciphered it for everyone: "This is actually made of sweet potatoes."

"Sweet potato?" Jia Baoyu looked at Lychee half-understanding, "What is sweet potato?"

litchi:? ? ?

Forgot, the children who grew up in the rich nest would not eat these slightly vulgar dishes since they were young.No wonder Baoyu didn't know what a potato was.

Lizhi explained patiently: "Sweet potato is a kind of vegetable that grows in the field. Today, there are two orders in the big kitchen, so Mother Zhao took it back."

Baoyu said loudly: "So, this sweet potato is quite rare? Otherwise, how could there be only two in our family."

litchi:……

The charming woman who didn't know when came, heard Jia Baoyu's silly words, and laughed so hard that she could hardly straighten up.She stretched out a finger, pointed at Jia Baoyu and said with a smile: "Our master really doesn't work hard and doesn't know the five grains."

Jia Baoyu was not angry when he heard that Meiren hurt him so much, but just smiled: "Of course I don't distinguish between five grains, so I ask my sisters to teach me."

As he spoke, Jia Baoyu bowed to the three of them in a similar manner, and Lizhi hurriedly ran away in fright—but Ren and Meiren were both maidservants who had accompanied Jia Baoyu for many years, so naturally You can accept a gift from him.She didn't forget that she was still a third-class maid.

Be careful what you say and do.
