Mrs. Leisurely

Chapter 95: A Family Reunion (2)
Seeing his wife enter the kitchen, Zhong Liyu thought that the food cooked by the cook was not to his liking, so he hurriedly followed and said, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Is the food not to your liking? You don't have to do it yourself, it's really not good, I'll go to the imperial chef I'll make it for you." For his wife, even if he was asked to ask the emperor for an imperial cook, he would immediately send someone to ask for it without saying a word.

Zhanyan saw his serious look, and the cook was sweating from fright, and couldn't help laughing: "Husband, you misunderstood, the cook is very good, there is no need to find the imperial cook."

"Then why did you go to the kitchen yourself?" Zhong Liyu was puzzled, he had been married for more than half a year, and he hadn't seen his wife enter the kitchen yet?Can she cook?Why doesn't he know?
"Isn't today the Hungry Ghost Festival? I'm going to make something you haven't eaten before, and let everyone try it."

"What is Yan'er going to do?"

"You will understand after you do it." Zhanyan said mysteriously.

"Oh? So mysterious? My husband wants to see what you are going to do, how about I help you?"

"Alright." Zhan Yan nodded, glanced at the sweaty cook, and thought to himself, Zhong Liyu entered the kitchen, the others should not be at ease, let them go down and rest.So he said to the cook: "Sister Guan, you and the others go down to rest first, and just give me the ingredients I want."

"Yes, my concubine." Sister Guan heaved a sigh of relief, as if she had been liberated.

After Nanny Guan led the people out, Zhan Yan looked at Zhong Liyu and said, "Husband, why do you always show a cold face to people? It's so scary. You scared me even if you didn't see Nanny Guan." Are you sweating?"

Zhong Liyu's face was full of black lines, it was that slave who was timid, so what's the matter with him?He said innocently: "I've always been like this, how can I have a cold face?"

"Not yet, no one can be scared like that?"

"That's because they are too timid. What do I do?"

"Okay, if you say there is no one, then there is none." Not wanting to argue with him, she said perfunctorily.

"Yan'er, are you playing tricks on me?"

"No."

"If you don't admit it, it seems that you will be punished." So Zhong Liyu kissed her fiercely as a punishment.

"Husband, this is the kitchen." Zhanyan said helplessly, why doesn't this man care about the occasion?
"I know it's the kitchen, so what's the matter?"

"It's the kitchen and you still..." Zhanyan looked at him with the expression that I would still kiss you no matter how much you talk, and quickly shut up.

Zhong Liyu watched her lower her head knowingly, a smile flashed in her eyes.

Zhanyan ignored him and began to knead noodles seriously, and then made various mooncake fillings. Zhanyanzuo's mooncake fillings included char siu, five kernels, red bean paste, etc. Zhong Liyu couldn't help but look at his wife's skillful movements. Sigh, what else is there that this little woman can't do?
Zhanyan watched him staring blankly at herself, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Didn't you come to help? Why are you all in a daze here?"

"What does my lady want me to do?" Zhong Liyu lifted up his loose sleeves, ready to obey his wife's orders, and began to fight.

"What will you do? Can you make a fire? If so, you can help me make a fire." Zhanyan really couldn't think of what else he could do.

"Isn't it difficult for my husband? It's just lighting a fire. I'll help you right away."

Sure enough, some people are born like this. Some things, even if they have never been done before, once they are done, it is as if they have done it thousands of times.

This noble couple, on the day of the Ghost Festival, went into the kitchen together and made moon cakes that no one had ever eaten before. After about two hours, the sweet smell of moon cakes wafted from the kitchen, and they stood outside the door. The maids and servants couldn't help stretching their necks, wondering what kind of food the princess made, which tasted so sweet.

Zhanyan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

Zhong Liyu has been carefully watching the whole process. With his intelligence, he can learn it in no time. Therefore, almost half of the mooncakes were made with Zhong Liyu's help.

They made almost a hundred of them. Zhanyan picked up a mooncake stuffed with char siew, handed it to Zhong Liyu and said, "Your husband has worked hard, come and taste the first mooncake."

Zhong Liyu took the mooncake, broke it in half, handed one half to Zhanyan's mouth, and ate the other half, Zhanyan took a bite with his hand, um, it tasted good.Zhong Liyu took a bite and nodded with satisfaction.

When Lihun walked into the kitchen, he took a deep breath and said, "Young master, mistress, King Zhennan is here." He thought to himself, King Zhennan came at the right time, otherwise he couldn't find a reason Come and taste this delicacy that smells so far away.

Zhong Liyu threw something from it, and it hit Lihun's forehead straight. Lihun quickly dodged and reached out to catch the thing Zhong Liyu threw out. He saw that it was a cake, and it tasted like this cake just now. issued.

"Mr. Xie, you really know your subordinates very well. You know that your subordinates are greedy." Li Hun giggled, and took a bite of the mooncake, which smelled delicious in the mouth.

Zhong Liyu said angrily: "You want to hide it from me even with your tricks? The King of Zhennan is here, when will it be your turn to report, hasn't Uncle Yang been waiting outside? You obviously have other secrets." As pictured."

Li Hun chuckled, and said, "My lord, you are really quick-witted, wise and powerful, a peerless genius, you can see through your subordinates' minds, and your subordinates admire you. Li Lan said, if I don't give them this delicious food Take it away, and I will be isolated in the future, so son, for the better life of your subordinates in the future, please reward me a few more."

Zhong Liyu gave him a cool look, and said, "Since this is the case, I'd better not give it to you. It's okay to let them isolate you."

Lihun saw that Zhong Liyu didn't intend to give it to him, so he decided to change the policy, looked at Zhanyan pitifully, and said: "Mistress, my son is indifferent by nature and has no sympathy, but mistress is different, you are gentle and kind, If you are willing to help others and do good deeds, you should treat me as a poor subordinate, and don't let me return empty-handed."

Zhanyan burst into laughter, this Lihun is really a treasure, he is also willing to help others, he is willing to do good, just for a few cakes, it is worth him to come up with so many idioms, and said funny: "Okay, no Is it just a few cakes? I already made a lot, so you can share some more with everyone."

Lihun's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Mistress, you are truly a bodhisattva, and I am so grateful to you, Mistress, for your kindness and virtue, I will definitely remember it in my heart." Lihun said as he spoke. , while constantly stuffing mooncakes into the oiled paper bag.

"It's so much nonsense, get out of here soon after you take it." Zhong Liyu couldn't bear to look at the obsequious look on his subordinate's face, for a few cakes, it's worth his doing this, is it because he has failed too much in training people? Zhong Liyu rubbed his temples, thinking helplessly.
