[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Chapter 26 Carp and Black Bean Soup

Lizhi sat on the bench in the small kitchen, frowning, thinking hard about life.

Why was she suddenly assigned such a task?Sending snacks to Jia Baoyu is not enough, but also to the Lin family?

Just give it away, but what is the taste of the Lin family?

Li Zhi thought about it, thinking that his bowl of fish porridge caused the trouble.After all, Qingyue didn't hide her behavior much at that time, and Lizhi also noticed Qingyue's gaze.

Thinking about it again, Lizhi seems to be a little enlightened - it seems that the young master of the Lin family doesn't like food very much.

When Mother Zhao entered the small kitchen, she saw Lizhi busy with something.She had already heard about Lizhi's new job, and Zhao's mother was not surprised, but was a little worried: "Is there any explanation for the origin of these abilities in your body?"

"Ancestors," Li Zhi said briefly, "I learned more from my mother."

Zhao's mother was angry and funny: "I don't have so many skills."

"Good mother, what can I do for such a small person?" Li Zhi chuckled, put down the things in her hands and began to act coquettishly with Zhao's mother, "I can trust my mother."

Mother Zhao looked at her with complicated eyes: "What are you going to do today?"

Lizhi knew that Zhao's mother agreed, so she said directly: "I want to make some soup today. I see that Lin's brother seems to be a little weak. The soup can nourish the body and be easy to overcome. He is still young. If you eat a large piece of food, you may not be able to swallow it."

Mother Zhao glanced at the chopping board and found that there was a freshly prepared fish on it.Mother Zhao couldn't help sighing: "No matter how we clean up this fish, it still has some fishy smell, but you, after cleaning up the fish last time, there is no fishy smell at all. It's really a good way."

Lizhi smiled shyly, but didn't make a sound—she had cleaned up fish with her parents countless times when she was in modern times.

Soak the black beans on the chopping board in clear water, pour some oil into the pot with lychee, slide it slightly, and start frying the fish.The fire of the stove was not high, and a carp was almost fried quickly, then Li Zhi poured the carp into a plate on the side, and put the black beans in the pot again.

After the two most basic ingredients were processed, Lizhi changed to a pot. After the water in the pot boiled, Lizhi poured all the ingredients into it.Not only carp and black beans are put in, but also some ingredients such as red dates and tangerine peel.Finally, Lizhi moved a small bench and sat in front of the stove, holding a cattail fan in his hand, and fanning the stove twice from time to time.

Looking at it, Zhao's mother felt a little rare: "Today's method is simple."

"Soup doesn't need to be complicated, the important thing is the time," Li Zhi said with a smile, "I'm afraid it will take more than an hour to cook the soup slowly, and the essence of the ingredients will be fully integrated into the soup. It’s a success.”

"I know that you are making soup. I don't know. I thought you were making alchemy." A woman's smiling voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Lizhi and Zhao's mother were both startled. They all looked at the door and saw Jia's mother. Yuanyang, the maidservant, was entering the room gracefully. When she met the eyes of the two of them, Yuanyang's face remained unchanged, and she still smiled: "Why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that there is something on my face?"

Mother Zhao blinked her eyes, and said softly, "Miss Yuanyang, what's the matter? The small kitchen is out of the way, so I'll trouble you to make a trip."

The two sides agreed to put aside what happened just now, Yuanyang smiled and said to Lizhi: "The old lady asked me to give you an order, Brother Lin has a weak spleen and stomach, don't be too greasy."

It seems that Jia's mother really loves Jia Min very much. Even Lin Xiao, a grandson who is not related by blood, has labored the big maid beside her to go there in person.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "What the old lady ordered is that today I will send carp and black bean soup to Brother Lin. It's just that it has just been stewed now, and it will take a while longer."

Yuanyang nodded: "Mother Zhao is the one who came out, and her thoughts are still delicate."

Saying that, Yuanyang took another look at Mama Zhao, Mama Zhao understood, and the two of them left the small kitchen, leaving Lizhi sitting there alone watching the fire.

When they got outside, Yuanyang whispered to Mother Zhao, "Mother Zhao, this is a reward from the old lady."

Saying that, Lizhi took out a small bundle from her arms, which contained a pair of earrings.Different from ordinary gold and silver, this is a pair of earrings made of jadeite, which looks very watery.

Mother Zhao was a little surprised: "This...how could the old lady give such a big reward?"

Yuanyang glanced at the small kitchen intentionally or unintentionally: "The old lady said, you take good care of me, this thing should be given to you."

Zhao's mother understood in an instant - she still borrowed the east wind of lychee.

Her mood was a bit complicated. On the one hand, Mother Zhao really liked litchi, and it was nothing more than to treat her as her own daughter, but on the other hand, Mother Zhao also always felt that she seemed to have taken advantage of litchi.

This is not a good thing for her.

"Okay, I understand." Zhao's mother took the earrings from Yuanyang's hand and put them in her arms. "The old lady, please ask Miss Yuanyang to take care of us."

Yuanyang smiled again: "Mom and Lizhi are both real, so I'm naturally toward you."

The two said a few more words, Yuanyang still had something to do, so they left first.Looking at the back of the mandarin duck, Zhao's mother couldn't help but sigh in her heart - what a golden mandarin duck with a delicate mind, the old lady saw the right person after all.

Lizhi sat in the small kitchen, waving the cattail fan in her hand from time to time.To her, the soup in front of her is more important than what Zhao's mother said to Yuanyang outside.

It's just that the soup cooking time is too long, and Lizhi can't help but want to doze off.She had no choice but to dig out a small jar of sour plums from the corner. Whenever she felt that she couldn't stand it, she would take one to wake herself up.

Seeing that the soup was half stewed, Lizhi began to feel sleepy again.She yawned and subconsciously reached for the jar of plums.As a result, Meizi didn't touch it, but touched the feather with one hand.

Lizhi woke up immediately, and she opened her eyes wide suddenly, only to see a big parrot standing there triumphantly beside the small jar of plums.It fluttered its feathers and raised its head high.The moment he met the eyes of the litchi, the big parrot yelled: "Eat the fruit!"

litchi:……

This parrot is really the reincarnation of a pig!

As a result, the litchi was so slow, and watched the big parrot lower its head and peck a fruit out of the jar, and watched it swallow it.

Lizhi instantly felt something was wrong, she grabbed the lid of the soup pot and covered it.

In the next second, the big parrot began to scream strangely and flapped its wings. While flying around, it also shouted: "It's unpalatable! It's unpalatable!" For a while, bird feathers were everywhere in the small kitchen, and Lizhi felt that he was about to suffocate up.

Fortunately, after tossing for a while, the big parrot fell to the side dying, but it seemed that it was far away from the crock pot and refused to approach it any more.

Lizhi plucked two parrot feathers from his own head, took out a small plate of fried broad beans from the side, and placed it in front of the big parrot: "Please, sir, this is yours."

When the parrot started to eat fried broad beans, Lizhi also saw the small note tied to its paw.Li Zhi's eyelids twitched, and he reached out to take off the little note.

When she unfolded it, she saw the note read: Too little

litchi:? ? ?

Lizhi was really about to be laughed out of anger, she stared at those three words, although the words were concise, it was really not difficult to understand at all - every time I ate too little, bring more.

"Did the owner of your family regard you as SF Express?" Seeing that there was no one around, Li Zhi began to complain unscrupulously.She said to the big parrot: "And I ask you to come to my place every day to find food, and you have to take some away after eating, why? You like eating so much that you can't walk around?"

The big parrot eats wholeheartedly, ignoring the lychees.

Li Zhi looked at the note again, getting angry at whatever he thought, so he simply dipped his finger in some pot dust and wrote on the back of the note: Pay first.

After finishing writing, Lizhi admired his work with satisfaction, and then tied the note to the big parrot's paw again.The big parrot also happened to have finished its meal, so it yelled at the litchi twice, then spread its wings and flew away.

Lizhi looked at the small kitchen around her, there were parrot feathers everywhere.She couldn't help sighing: "It's really not worth the loss."

-

So that night, Liu Xianglian rarely received a snack from the mysterious person, but a short bill.

Liu Xianglian stared at the three crooked characters for a while, and gave a pertinent evaluation: "The writing is fairly smooth, but why is this word missing arms and legs?"

Could it be some kind of servant?But these days, it is somewhat difficult for servants to learn how to read and write.

And... checkout first?

Liu Xianglian couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth. He grabbed the note, adjusted his sitting posture, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.When the cold-faced young man is alone, his life is very casual, he can be as happy as he likes.

"Hmm, so I have indeed eaten a lot of food from others." Liu Xianglian counted the days and felt that this request is not too much, "It's just that if I give you money, can I eat more?"

Saying that, Liu Xianglian glanced at the big parrot parked on the table next to it. The big parrot tilted its head, and it didn't know what it could see from Liu Xianglian's expression. The big parrot suddenly fell on the table and started Play dead.

Liu Xianglian: ...

He was really thinking about how many heavy objects this parrot can carry at most... He even pretended to be dead, maybe he was really going to become a genius.
