Medical Drug Concubine: Your Majesty, please forgive me

Chapter 8 Sending Snacks

Inside the Green Pine Courtyard.

Liang Xiu had a bath today, so he and Mrs. Li came early in the morning to have breakfast with the old lady.

The old lady looked at a table full of food, but her brows were deeply furrowed.

Liang Xiu has always been a filial person, seeing his mother was unhappy, he hurried forward to ask.

"What's the matter with mother recently? The child is always unhappy when he sees you."

The old lady looked at her son with relief, and did not speak, but sighed indescribably.

Liang Xiu didn't understand why he looked at Mrs. Li beside him.

She commanded a few maidservants to take down the leftovers on the table, and then handed two cups of tea to Liang Xiu and the old lady.

"Master, don't worry. The old lady is fine. It's just that the doctor Zhao came to check the old lady's pulse a few days ago. She found that the old lady has diabetes."

"Diabetes? Is it serious?" Liang Xiu asked worriedly.

"Emperor Zhao said that it's not a big problem. Many people will have this symptom when they are old. As long as they are taken care of, it will be fine, but it will be a pain for our old lady. You know that the old lady has always been sweet Not happy. But the first rule of diabetes is to quit sweets and oils. That's why the old lady is so depressed these few days!"

"So that's the case, it's just mother. Your body is the most important thing when you're old. You really want to listen to the doctor's orders. If you're bored, why don't we invite some theater troupes to sing a few performances to relieve your boredom?" , do you think this is okay?" Liang Xiu coaxed the old lady in a childlike tone.

"Look, I knew you would be like this. Telling you will only give me stricter control. Is the most important thing to listen to? It's only comfortable if you have some snacks to accompany you. Please A troupe is singing on it, but I can only watch dryly, wouldn't it be even more boring."

Hearing what his mother said, Liang Xiu also encountered difficulties. In the past, this kind of thing was arranged by Mrs. Li, and she always had a way to coax the old lady into a proper way.

But now that the old lady is sick and still so unhappy, there must be no other way for Mrs. Li.

Liang Xiuxiu was hesitating, not knowing what to do, when he saw the servant girl Mei Er walking over with a plate of exquisite snacks.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li reprimanded sharply: "How many times have I told you. The old lady can't eat sweets, why did she still serve this dessert on the table?"

Seeing Li's anger, Meier quickly knelt down and explained: "Returning to Madam, this dessert was sent by the second lady. She said that although this dessert is sweet, it does not contain sugar. If you don't believe me, you can let the old lady taste it first." "

After hearing this, the old lady casually picked up a piece and tasted it. After chewing it a few times, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"This taste is very special! The outer skin is crispy and fragrant, and the inner core is sweet but not greasy. After eating, there is a faint fragrance of green grass. It tastes like the dim sum made by my mother when I was a child."

Speaking of which, the old lady motioned for the two of them to come and try it too.

Liang Xiu took a sip suspiciously, savored it carefully, and after a while showed a satisfied smile, nodded and said: "Generally, pastries need to be crisped with lard. No matter how light the taste is, there will inevitably be some Greasy. But the outer skin of this dim sum covers all the greasy lard, and there is a faint fragrance inside, coupled with the silky soft inner core. Really good!"

"You said that the second lady made this snack?" the old lady asked Meier.

Meier nodded and said: "Yes, Second Miss sent it over in person, Second Miss is waiting outside right now!"

"It's hard for her to have a heart, let her come in!"

Outside the door, Wan Su walked in gracefully and gracefully. After bowing to the three of them, she felt obedient and stood aside.

Wan Su knows her craft. In order to earn tuition fees in college, she worked as a pastry chef in the most advanced bakery in Beijing.She is confident that as long as the old lady has tasted her craft, she will never forget it.

The old lady has always liked snacks, but since she was diagnosed with diabetes, she hasn't tasted sweets for a long time.

Now that she has this delicious and not too sweet snack, how can she not be tempted!

The old lady was obviously very satisfied with this snack, and even the smile on Yun Heng was much warmer than yesterday.

"You are good at making dim sum, where did you learn it!"

"Reporting to my grandmother, my granddaughter didn't learn it. It's just that when I was fostered in the country, I was greedy and loved to study blindly by myself. After a long time, I also studied a few pretty good snacks."

"You're a clever one. In the future, you can cook more for me. Let's make delicious snacks like this!"

After finishing speaking, the old lady turned her head and said to Lin's mother beside her: "Lin's mother, I remember that old lady Xue gave me two boxes of golden silk and blood swallows before, you can take one box and give it to Wan Su!"

Seeing all this, Mrs. Li couldn't help feeling resentful in her heart. Although she is now the official wife of the Shangshu Mansion, in the past she could only be a concubine because of her low status.

Although she has been righted now, her elder brother Li Guang is now named General Zhengxi because of his repeated military exploits.

However, the poor life in her childhood made her desire for material things in her bones, but she couldn't change it.

The golden silk bird's nest was already rare, almost the same price as gold, and it was given by Mrs. Xue from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, so it was even more expensive.

She originally thought that in a few days, she would get it from the old lady and give it to her daughter Liang Yunxi.

But now she was easily exchanged for a few pieces of snacks from this little girl, how could she be reconciled.

"Wan Su, the taste of your snack is pretty good. It's just that your grandmother suffers from diabetes and can't eat sweets. I tasted your snack with a slight sweetness, but Meier said you didn't put sugar in it. I know you are filial, but don't lie to us and disregard your grandmother's health just to please grandma!"

On the surface, Li Shi praised it, but the ultimate goal was to prove the fact that the late Soviet Union used sugar without asking.

Liang Xiu cared about the old lady's health, and Li Shi's words also made him worried. He didn't know how to cook, and thought that as long as it was sweet, it had sugar in it.

So I also feel that Wan Su can make this kind of snacks, but it is a trick to reduce the amount of sugar.

I didn't expect this girl to have such a temperament. In order to please her, she even disregarded the health of her elders.

Thinking of this, Liang Xiu even lost the good impression he had just mentioned to her yesterday.

"What your mother said is that your grandmother's health is the most important thing. If you just want to please the old lady and disregard the health of the elders, it is really outrageous."

A faint smile appeared on Wan Su's face, making her delicate face even more lively.

"Daughter dare not lie, but there is no sugar in this dessert. Father and wife have lived in the mansion for a long time, and the conditions are excellent. They must not know much about the food in the countryside. Although this dessert tastes good, the ingredients in it are very common. Take this stuffing as an example. It is made of steamed red beans and salted egg yolks, plus the flowers of rehmannia glutinosa. The red bean has a sandy texture, which complements the salty aroma of the egg yolk. Rehmannia glutinosa can be seen everywhere in the farmland, so it is not uncommon .Everyone only knows that its root can be used as medicine, but they don’t know that its petals and roots are sweet and fragrant. I know that the old lady can’t eat sweets, so I added it to the stuffing instead of sugar!”

"Oh? There is such a way to eat?"

The old lady has been pampered all her life and has always had the best food and clothing. It was the first time she heard that this kind of wild grass in the countryside can be eaten, and she was quite curious.

Seeing that the old lady was interested, Wan Su began to popularize science.

"Yes, old lady, you don't know. In the countryside, not only the flowers of rehmannia glutinosa are sweet, but also the cobs of corn and the leaves of elm trees. Even the young shoots of reeds in spring, You can also taste a touch of sweetness by chewing carefully!"
