Red apricots make spring

Chapter 152
Ruorou heard the words and felt a "thump" in her heart. Only then did she realize that Lu Ce had already "triggered" her in front of Lu Chenzhou. Although it was a good intention to explain the reason why she got up late, no matter how I thought about it, I felt a little bit like trying to test her. Seeing what she meant, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Lu Ce, and saw that he was only drinking tea with a smile on his face, while Lu Chenzhou was staring at him with great interest, so he could only smile and reply, "Well, Let me keep it a secret, and after the old general tastes it, he will naturally know."

Lu Chenzhou clearly knew that she and Lu Ce were acting, she didn't have the face to follow Lu Ce and call him grandpa, she just said "General" and it was over.

Lu Chenzhou, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment when he heard what she said, then nodded and smiled, "Okay! The old man will be waiting to try your handicraft in a while."

With a gentle smile, he resigned temporarily, and he was relieved when he walked out of the hall. He first found Xizhu, and told him about planting June persimmons and peppers, and asked him to find some people to help Mei Youcai in the Meizhuang. Pepper, pick and transport June persimmon.In addition, he asked him to pick two family servants in the mansion, and kept a small part of the June persimmons sent by Wu Tiancai yesterday to eat for himself, and put the rest into a basket of twenty, and carried them to her pastry shop. Go inside and tell Xiaohuan that a basket sells for one tael of silver.

Anyway, there is nothing to sell in the pastry shop these two days, so I will sell June persimmons temporarily. It happens that I can try it first to see if I can sell it. Later, I will bring back a large number of June persimmons, so she will know how to sell them in a basket. What price is the most suitable.

Xizhu agreed to do it, Rourou then walked all the way to the kitchen, still having a headache in his mind, what to cook for Lu Chenzhou, and when he saw the big pile of peppers at the door of the kitchen, he couldn't help but have an idea First, call Mrs. Tang and ask her to carefully string some peppers and hang them under the eaves to dry, then call Mrs. Sun to prepare a few jars of pickles, and then wash and dry most of the remaining peppers. Later she was going to make chili sauce.

To say that this chili is really an excellent condiment, after coming to ancient times, I often suffered from dishes that could not be made without chili, and all of them flooded into Rou Rou's mind, which made her feel a little twitchy.It’s just that I’m a little scrupulous, because this food is too spicy, people who haven’t eaten it may not be able to accept it at once, and some people don’t like spicy food by nature, so they don’t touch it, what if she makes it, Lu Chenzhou doesn’t like it? ?
Rourou stretched out her hand and pulled a pepper, wiped it with a handkerchief, put it near her mouth and bit off a small piece, chewed it twice, suddenly a spicy taste went straight to her forehead, it was so spicy that she really hurt and Quick, tears almost flowed out.Whether it's because she hasn't eaten spicy food for a long time, or because this body has never been exposed to spicy food, she herself feels a little unbearable. Of course, don't expect people who taste spicy food for the first time to fall in love with this taste.After thinking about it, she decided to put less chili peppers when making spicy dishes. If the people who eat it can accept it, it's okay to add more pepper later.

"Madam, why are you standing here in a daze?" The little maids Caiyun and Caiqin came from a distance, and said with a smile: "Master said that Madam is going to cook for herself today, let us help."

"It's just in time." Gentle nodded, pointed to the chili peppers piled on the ground and said to Caiqin: "First take some and help me dry it on the fire, and be careful not to burn it." Then he said to Caiyun: "Go and get my mother Call me and say I want to bother her to help me!"

When Mama Wen arrived with her maid, Xianglan, and the two servants who were sent to buy fresh meat also returned, Rourou rolled up her sleeves and prepared to cook.

At this time, Lu Chenzhou was still chatting with Lu Ce in the living room, and the maid Jiyue came up to serve him with various fruits and was busy refilling tea.

Lu Chenzhou didn't like to eat fruit originally, but seeing the rarity of June persimmon, he couldn't help picking one up and tasting it, and asked Lu Ce what kind of fruit it was, and why he had never seen it before.Lu Ce answered truthfully, but for some reason, the topic turned back to Wenrou, Lu Chenzhou stroked his beard and said, "The little girl is not bad."

"En." Lu Ce responded, noncommittal.

"Be measured, know how to advance and retreat." Lu Chenzhou thought of her phrase "Old General" just now, which clearly meant pulling away from the pole and not climbing up the pole. Unknowingly, he glanced at Lu Ce again, feeling a little bit in his heart marvel.

It's not that he wants to boast, but that his grandson is outstanding in terms of character and appearance. Regardless of whether this woman surnamed Wen married his grandson as a concubine because of her own reasons, but she gets along with him intimately. After these few days, is it true that you don't even have any extra thoughts?Seeing him as an elder, he is warm and courteous but not flattering, unlike those women from aristocratic families who have a crush on Lu Ce, wishing they could pull his sleeves and call him grandpa three or four times coquettishly, as if in this way the distance between each other can be shortened , showing their own identity.

Lu Ce heard him praise gentleness, but still didn't make a sound, just sat there and smiled faintly.

No gossip could be found from his grandson, so Lu Chenzhou couldn't help but sighed deeply: "I don't care about you children, but you should give me a great-grandson to hug you, right?" Next, Qi'er asked, what does our great-grandson look like, the old man can answer, otherwise what do you tell the old man? Say you haven't seen it yet? She should be angry again by pulling the old man's beard!"

Luo Qi was the name of Lu Ce's grandmother, but Lu Chenzhou just called her "Qi'er" and called her "Qi'er" all his life, and he couldn't change it when he was old, and he still misses her so much.Hearing these words, Lu Ce felt very sad and comforted him, "Don't worry, even if it's to keep your beard that you grew so hard, grandson will let you meet your great-grandson first, Go see grandma."

"Nonsense!" Lu Chenzhou scolded him angrily, but when he turned around, he couldn't hold back and laughed.

The grandfather and grandson seem to have endless conversations together, talking about the court situation, talking about the national economy and the people's livelihood, and then chatting about anecdotes and strange things. In a blink of an eye, it was almost noon.

Gentle's dishes are almost ready, there are only a few dishes that are still stewed on the fire, and it is enough to let the two cooks help to watch the heat, so he ordered the maids to prepare the dishes, and led Mama Wen by himself. He called Wen Gang again, and invited Lu Chenzhou to the table first.

Just because she is currently a concubine, although the Wen family is married to the Lu family, they are not real relatives of the wife's family, not to mention that Lu Chenzhou seldom came to see his grandson, so he must have something private to talk about. Mother Wen and Wen Gang I came up to meet and said hello, so I avoided going out and had another dinner for myself.Rourou originally wanted to avoid it, but Lu Chenzhou beckoned her to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "If you leave, I will eat the dish I like, but I am still confused, and I don't even know the name of the dish." , how can this be good?"

Rourou saw that he was straightforward, so she didn't give in. She took the pot and poured the wine first, then sat down and said with a smile: "Today, I added some special seasonings to some dishes. I don't know if you are used to them. Turn around If it doesn’t suit your taste, don’t be angry.”

Lu Chenzhou smiled without saying a word, first drank a glass of wine that Lu Ce and Rou Wen offered him, and then raised his chopsticks to look around. Among the six cold dishes on the table, three of them had puddles of red oil floating on them, so he couldn't help being curious. Confused, pick up a dish and put a chopstick into the mouth first.

As soon as he chewed, he frowned first.

Chew again, frowning even tighter.

After chewing three times, a surprised look appeared on his face.

After swallowing the dish, Lu Chenzhou put another chopstick into his mouth, savored it carefully, but remained silent.

Rourou is also a little nervous at the moment, although she has reduced the amount of chili in the dish, she still doesn't know if Lu Chenzhou can accept it, she just guesses that he is a general, he must like to drink hard alcohol, and the taste of wine is spicy It actually feels a bit like chili peppers, so I made half a table of spicy dishes, hoping to let him try something fresh.

When Lu Ce saw the three red oily cold dishes, he only guessed that they were made from tender and newly acquired peppers, but he had never tasted the taste of peppers, so he wanted to try it with his chopsticks, but saw Lu Chenzhou frowned, and the extended chopsticks turned around automatically to pick up the assorted white meat roll.I thought to myself, these dishes can't escape anyway, wait until my grandfather tastes it and say something, if it is not delicious, it will save my tongue from suffering.However, will the dishes cooked by gentleness be bad?He hadn't tasted anything particularly unpalatable to him so far.
