[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

"Okay, don't pretend to be dead," Liu Xianglian stretched out her index finger and teased the big parrot, "But you are so colorful and fly around every day, isn't it a little too eye-catching?"

The big parrot suddenly felt a sense of crisis. It stared at Liu Xianglian for a while with peas-like eyes, and suddenly opened its mouth and called out: "Eat!"

Liu Xianglian: ...

He lifted the big parrot's wings neatly, and threw it out of the window again familiarly.The big parrot flew away while screaming strangely, as if Liu Xianglian was going to catch it and stew it to eat.

Liu Xianglian snorted lightly, then grabbed the note and looked at it again.He suddenly became interested in the other party—is the person who received the note male or female, old or young?Is it fat or thin, is it Yangchun Baixue, or is it lower Liba people?

Liu Xianglian didn't know, and probably won't know anytime soon.

Maybe another courier next time?Find something less conspicuous.

Lizhi sat in the small kitchen for more than an hour, and finally cooked the soup.When she lifted the lid of the soup pot, the fresh aroma of fish soup came to her face.

The carp has been stewed until the meat is almost invisible, and the essence of the fish and black beans has been fully integrated into the soup. With the help of red dates and tangerine peel, the whole pot of soup is filled with a strange fragrance. I'm too used to it, but I can't help but be attracted by the unique aroma when I smell it a few more times.

Litchi used a spoon to skim off the top layer of froth and fat, scooped all the stewed perfect soup into a large bowl, and sieved it again with a fine sieve to filter out the remaining fish residue in the soup. The soup was divided into several bowls, and some intact red dates were put into the soup.

"I'm really really really really really good!" Lizhi looked at the fruits of her labor with a smile on her face, and couldn't help twisting her buttocks twice.

In the yard where the Lin family lived, Lin Daiyu was playing with her younger brother in the house.

Lin Daiyu held a volume of books in her hand, the book was a little too big for her, but it seemed to be just right to teach her younger brother.

"Brother Xiao, look quickly." Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "This is the word Xiao, which is your name."

Lin Xiao stared at the word, but said nothing.

Lin Daiyu urged him lightly: "Do you know me?"

Lin Xiao blinked again, this time she simply yawned.

Lin Daiyu put down the book in her hand with a little disappointment, raised her hand and touched her younger brother's head: "You are still so young, what can you know? I am eager for quick success."

Lin Xiao pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said in a drawn out voice, "Xiao."

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up instantly.

Jia Min on the side watched the interaction between the siblings and found it quite interesting.Needless to say, Lin Daiyu, this is her own daughter, with exquisite thoughts and natural intelligence, it is not difficult to see that she is a beautiful embryo, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, surprised Jia Min—although this child is young, he is extremely well-behaved.It's like being able to understand people's speech. When I was just born, except when I was hungry or tired, I would hum twice, and the rest of the time was either sleeping or playing with myself.

Jia Min didn't have much experience in taking care of children. At first, he thought that babies had such a personality. When Lin Xiao got a little older, Jia Min realized the difference between his own son and other babies.

It's just that it's not bad for her.Even after feeling that Lin Xiao was different, Jia Min relaxed Lin Daiyu's contact with Lin Xiao instead.

The relationship cultivated from childhood will be indestructible in the future.

Outside the house, Lizhi walked slowly to the door with the food box in hand.The servant girl of the Lin family saw her and asked her why she was here in a soft voice. After Lizhi explained her reason for coming, the maid who guarded the door went into the room to report, and then came out again to ask Lizhi to go in. .

Lizhi entered the room, and immediately saw Jia Min leaning against the window, and Lin Daiyu sitting on the bed and playing with Lin Xiao.As if they heard the movement from the door, Lin Daiyu and Lin Xiao were all looking at the door curiously at the moment, when Lizhi accidentally met Lin Daiyu's eyes, she shivered and quickly lowered her head.

It's just that her heart is screaming crazily - Lin Daiyu!That's real Lin Daiyu!Live!Lin Daiyu when she was a child!

"Lichi has met my aunt." Lizhi did not forget to salute. After she put down the food box, she blessed Jia Min, "I have met Young Master Lin, I have met Miss Lin."

Jia Min responded lightly, and called Lizhi to get up. She glanced at the big food box, but smiled a little: "It's hard for you, little man, to take such a big food box."

"This is the duty of a servant." Li Zhi walked to the side of the food box and gently opened the lid of the food box. "Today, I sent carp and black bean soup to my aunt and Mrs. Lin."

Carp black bean soup?Lin Daiyu looked over curiously, she had never heard of this kind of soup.

Instead, Jia Min smiled: "Is this a Cantonese dish? I've heard of it."

After speaking, Jia Min nodded to Qingyue, Qingyue understood, and brought two maidservants to the table, brought out all three bowls of soup, and placed them on the small coffee table.

Lizhi retreated to the side, secretly observing the reactions of the three people.

Jia Min sat up straight first, and then picked up the bowl of soup.Originally, she only intended to take a sip, but after looking at it, she was stunned—the soup in this bowl didn't contain any oil, but it had a tangy fragrance.Originally, Jia Min was in poor health and his appetite was also a bit weak.Now that I saw this bowl of soup, I couldn't help but grabbed the spoon, took a spoonful and put it into my mouth.

As soon as the soup touched the tip of the tongue, a strange taste burst out.Seven points of deliciousness and three points of sweetness, not only not greasy, no fishy smell, but even very appetizing.Jia Min swallowed the soup in his mouth, only felt a hot line along his throat, poured straight into the spleen and stomach, and for a while, his sick body felt a lot more comfortable.

Jia Min came back to her senses and looked at the soup in the bowl with a little surprise.She grew up in Jia's house, so she naturally knew the cooking style of Jia's kitchen.It is really surprising that this small kitchen can come up with such a light but original soup.

Thinking of this, Jia Min took another spoonful.

As for the two brothers of the Lin family, Lin Daiyu and Lin Xiao, there are special people serving them soup.Lin Daiyu just took a sip, and couldn't help but look at the litchi.

This soup is... delicious.

Lin Daiyu was not used to Jia's food. She used to eat less, but now at her grandfather's house, she ate even less.

However, this bowl of soup soothed Lin Daiyu's delicate stomach at the right time. When she recovered, there was only a little bottom left in the bowl.

Lin Daiyu blushed immediately.

Only one Lin Xiao was drinking the soup slowly, and his expression didn't change much.

"This soup is really good." Jia Min put down the bowl in his hand and wiped his mouth delicately. "You made this? Who did you learn this skill from?"

Lizhi said respectfully: "If you go back to my aunt, Mama Zhao in the small kitchen, I will learn from Mama Zhao."

"Mother Zhao," Jia Min blinked, but she had no doubts, "It seems that after all these years, she has grown a lot."

Saying that, Jia Min glanced at Qingyue, Qingyue helped Lizhi pack up all the things, and sent her out of the door.When Lizhi was about to leave, Qingyue gave her two silver rice balls: "Madam's reward, I should thank my younger sister."

She took the lychee generously, and she also greeted Qingyue, and said in a low voice: "Sister Qingyue, if Mr. Lin and Miss Lin want to use it tomorrow, why don't you tell me earlier, so that I can do it well." ...prepare early."

Qingyue nodded: "I will report it to Madam."

Only then did Lizhi carry the food box and walked away lightly.Although she couldn't talk to Lin Daiyu today, looking at Lin Daiyu's appearance, Lizhi felt so excited.

She got it for real!

Qingyue went back to the house, Lin Daiyu and Lin Xiao had already been taken down by their nurses to rest, while Jia Min was still leaning against the window with no expression of joy or anger.

"Madam, it's time to take the medicine." Qingyue said softly, "If you don't take the medicine, you will feel uncomfortable again."

Jia Min glanced at her, and said with a smile: "I think, after drinking that bowl of soup, I feel refreshed."

Qingyue also smelled the soup, she followed Jia Min's words and said, "This little maid is really good at cooking."

"I've already got some real biography from Mama Zhao. It seems that Mama Zhao treats her like a daughter." Jia Min looked out the window, paused and asked again, "Did she say anything to you just now?"

Qingyue repeated the words truthfully.

Jia Min nodded slightly: "The mind is delicate, the craftsmanship is good, and the age is not too old...Let's see in two days."

Lizhi happily went back to the small kitchen, Jia Baoyu's portion had already been taken away by other maids, and she was washing and washing in the small kitchen by herself.When she was almost done tidying up, Lizhi looked back inadvertently, but saw two birds parked by the stove.

One is a familiar big parrot, and the other is a little smaller, with a black body, only a spot on the face and a yellow beak, but it is a mynah.

Li Zhi was startled at first, then said helplessly: "Bring your friends?"

The big parrot flapped its wings and didn't speak, but Mynah yelled, "Hungry!"

litchi:……

She put the broad beans in front of the two birds, and the mynah and the parrot began to eat honestly. Lizhi looked at their two paws habitually, and found that there was a small note on the mynah's leg this time. .

The author has something to say:

Ah, I was on the trap today, and then I saw some questions in the comment area, and I will answer them in the comments

[-]. Lizhi has different opinions about her life experience. One is because she talks about people when she sees people, and the other is because this is a foreshadowing that I will use later. I didn’t want to say it at first, but now I have to say it

[-]. The food in ancient times was unpalatable, and modern people will feel unpalatable after traveling through the past, so the cooking skills of lychees can basically be improved several levels under the blessing of the environment

[-]. This article is a sweet article, my sister has logic, it is true that my sister has logic, and there is no textual research, it is just a happy food article

Fourth, there are two maids in Jia's mansion, Ke Ren and Charming!In the original book!If you don’t have time to read the original text of the Red Chamber, you can google it yourself. Next time, don’t tell me that the two names Keren and Charming are too kitsch.
