[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Lizhi suddenly turned her head, and saw a woman standing at the door of the small kitchen with a faint smile on her face. If it's not Zhao's mother, who is it?

"Mom!" Li Zhi's mouth was about to burst into laughter, and she quickly ran to Zhao's mother, "Mom! I'm back!"

Compared with Lizhi's excitement, Zhao's mother seemed much calmer.She pushed aside the lychee, walked into the small kitchen first, and said as she walked, "Well, it's good to be back, come and help me pick the vegetables."

The two of them returned to the small kitchen. Lizhi was the same as when he was a child. He moved a small bench and sat beside Zhao's mother, handling the dishes with her.For a moment, Lizhi was still in a trance—it seemed that she had been staying in this small kitchen and never left.

It's just that this idea was quickly shattered by Lizhi.When she looked at Ms. Zhao, she saw that Mrs. Zhao's temples had started to grow a little bit of white hair.There are not many white hairs, just a few sporadic embellishments, but it still makes people feel nervous when they look at it.

Lizhi quickly lowered her head, for fear that Mother Zhao would find out that she was strange.She coughed dryly and did not put down what she was doing. At the same time, she tried to chat with Mother Zhao: "Mom, I haven't been back for so many years. Have you ever missed me?"

Zhao's mother sneered: "What's there to think about? I'm too busy all day, and I still think about you?"

Li Zhi chuckled: "I knew, mom must miss me, after all, a girl like me is always likable wherever she goes."

Upon hearing this, Mother Zhao put down the dishes in her hand, turned her head, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "You are still the same as before."

"As cute as ever?"

"Don't be skinny as before."

litchi:……

The two fell silent again, and continued to pick vegetables. After a while, Lizhi couldn't hold back anymore: "Good mother, tell me, what happened in this house while I was away Bar."

Zhao's mother didn't refuse either, and used the time of picking vegetables to tell all the things that happened in the house during the absence of Lizhi.

In fact, Lizhi has heard all these things from Ping'er, but Ping'er and Zhao's mother are still different. Sitting beside Zhao's mother now, Lizhi feels more like returning home.

"Good mother, how is sister Jiao Niang?" Li Zhi thought of Mama Zhao's biological daughter again, that Jiao Niang who was beautiful and had a good personality.

Mentioning her daughter, Zhao's mother couldn't help showing a little smile on her face: "Jiaoniang has been betrothed to someone a few years ago, and now she is also a shopkeeper lady outside. I just had a child last year, and now I still have a baby." At home."

Li Zhi sighed sincerely: "Sister Jiao Niang is such a nice person, so she will naturally live happily."

Mother Zhao couldn't help but glanced at her: "You are not the same as before."

Li Zhi grasped the loopholes in Zhao's mother's words: "Good mother, that's not what you said just now. You just said that I was shameless."

Mother Zhao: ...

In the end, the end of resisting Zhao's mother was that she caught the fire after picking the vegetables.

Seeing Lizhi's unfamiliar movements, Zhao's mother was thoughtful: "It seems that these days, you eat and drink so well in Lin's mansion, and you don't even remember how to make a fire."

Lizhi pursed her mouth tightly, pretending not to hear—in fact, Mother Zhao was telling the truth. She lived a pampered life in the Lin family, just like a vice lady, so naturally she didn't have to light the fire herself.Doesn't it get rusty after a long time?

"I'm going to make a snack for Brother Lang today," Zhao's mother called Lizhi, "you come to make this snack, and don't light the fire, I'm afraid you will set my kitchen on fire."

Li Zhi swiftly dropped the pliers in his hand, pretending to be indignant: "Mom looks down on me, she thinks I can't..."

Mother Zhao snorted coldly: "Just say one more word, let's continue to light the fire."

Lizhi quickly shut her mouth.

Jia Lan is now in the mansion, just like Jia Baoyu back then. Basically, Mrs. Wang is responsive to her eldest son's posthumous child, and even life with Li Wan is much easier.

However, Jia Lan was born a worry-free child, and Li Wan raised him very well. Under Mrs. Wang's doting, Jia Lan did not grow crooked, but his temper became more lively.

What Lizhi has to do now is Jia Lan's daily dessert.

She was a little hesitant just now, she is now Lin Daiyu's maidservant, so making snacks for Jia Lan would be a bit unfair.

Zhao's mother knew her concerns, but she just rolled her eyes: "Just do it at ease, I'm here."

With Zhao's mother's words, Lizhi felt relieved.

It's just... what kind of snack should this be?

Lizhi thought about it, and finally decided to make a green grass and white rabbit dumpling.After all, Jia Lan is still young, so I would like to see these cuter foods, right?

Litchi starts to prepare the fillings first, and the fillings of white rabbit dumplings are still mainly shrimps.There are good-quality river prawns in the small kitchen. Lizhi quickly cut off the head of the prawn with scissors, and twisted the tail of the prawn with her hands. I ordered a large bowl and chopped it into a shrimp paste.

After preparing the shrimps, Lizhi took fresh bamboo shoots.The skin of the bamboo shoots is also removed, and an extra layer of bamboo shoots is removed from the lychee, leaving a relatively fresh part, and then all the bamboo shoots are cut into shreds.

Put the shrimps and shredded bamboo shoots together, add some lard to the lychee to enhance the flavor of the filling, and then put some seasonings, and then start to mix the filling.

Then, lychee began to prepare the dough.After the wheat flour and raw flour were mixed in proportion, Lichee poured hot water into the big basin and stirred while pouring, thinking that it was almost done before stopping.

She started kneading the dough again, and the dough gradually formed under her hands. Lizhi added some lard and continued kneading the dough.

After kneading a shaped dough, Lizhi sprinkled some flour on the chopping board so that the dough would not stick to the chopping board.

She took the rolling pin on one side, rolled the dough into a long strip, and then took the kitchen knife next to it, and cut the long dough into small pieces one by one.

After cutting, Lizhi turned the kitchen knife sideways and began to beat the dough.Under the pressure of the kitchen knife, the dough gradually stretched its body and became sheets of dough.

Lizhipai was sweating profusely on the tip of his nose, but his hands kept moving.Finally, Lizhi pressed the dough with the back of his hand again, and then he felt that it was almost done.

Putting down the kitchen knife in his hand, Li Zhi took another pair of chopsticks and began to pick out the fillings to make dumplings.She purposely shaped the dumplings into a pointy shape, and after they were all wrapped, she took the small scissors and cut out two rabbit ears on the dumplings.

Zhao's mother on the side was watching the whole process. Facing Lizhi's current cooking skills, even Zhao's mother couldn't find any faults: "... What are you going to do with these eyes?"

Lizhi smiled, and took the ham that had just been placed next to it.She picked it up with small tweezers, and a small piece of ham stuck to the tip of the tweezers. Lychees dotted the ham meat on both sides of the dumplings, which really looked like rabbit eyes.

Lychee was complacent, and boasted while ordering: "In ancient times, someone made the finishing touch, but now I am Baotu's finishing touch."

As a result, Zhao's mother beat her head.

Lizhi put the bunnies' eyes into the steamer after lighting them all up.Then just steam it.

Mother Zhao waited for her to sit down before she said, "Now, you can be your own."

When Lizhi heard Zhao's mother's words, she also felt a little emotional: "...When I first entered the mansion, I didn't understand anything. If my mother hadn't taught me, I wouldn't have such a fortune."

Zhao's mother smiled lightly: "It's useless to just teach me, you have to strive for it yourself."

Lizhi chuckled, and changed the topic: "Mom, the dumplings will be steamed later, can I take some away? I just made extra bags."

Mother Zhao nodded: "I'll go to Brother Lan's place, you can find Qingwen and the others yourself."

Li Zhi was punctured, she didn't blush at all, but became more and more happy: "Why don't you say that my mother is smart, she can tell what I want to do at a glance."

After the dumplings were steamed, Lizhi packed some in a snack box and said a few words with Zhao's mother before leaving with the box.

-

In Jia Baoyu's courtyard, there were no candles in the main room, only the house where the maids lived was still bright.

In the past, this courtyard was the busiest place in Rongguo Mansion, but now with Jia Baoyu going out to study, the entire courtyard has also become deserted.

In addition, many maids went to the courtyard, and the courtyard became less and less popular.

Qingwen was sitting in her room at this time, embroidering a purse in front of the light.She looked serious, but her movements were not slow, and she had already embroidered a beautiful lotus in just a moment.

Xiren sat on the side, watching Qingwen work, and said a few words: "You should also take a break, working under the lamp like this, be careful not to hurt your eyes."

"I know it in my heart." Qingwen didn't listen, "This light is so bright, how can it hurt your eyes so easily."

Xiren rolled his eyes: "Once or twice is nothing, but it will be different after more time."

Qingwen was still about to retort, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room.

"Who?" Qingwen put down the needle and thread in her hand, and shouted angrily.

Just waited for a long time, but did not get a response.

Qingwen was suspicious in her heart, and the attacker on the side comforted her: "I guess something scratched it."

Qingwen was dubious, so she picked up the needle and thread again, and before she had time to sew the needle, there was another knock on the door outside.It's just that when Qingwen asked aloud, there was no sound.

After repeating this three times, Qingwen became angry.She stood up abruptly, threw the purse in her hand aside, walked to the door in three steps at a time, and pulled the door open: "Who! Who dares to come and have fun when they have nothing to do? I!"

But outside the door, not to mention people, there was not even a shadow of a leaf.Qingwen stood at the door and waited for a long time, but she couldn't see anyone.

She turned around resentfully, wanting to go back to the house, but in the next second, a hand was suddenly put on Qingwen's shoulder, accompanied by a woman's faint voice: "Sister Qingwen, for a long time Gone."

Qingwen's mind went blank for an instant, she screamed, without turning her head, she kicked the opponent neatly.
