In the outer room of Hou Men, she took advantage of her beauty to commit murder

Chapter 9 The versatile Liu Ma

He looked up at the sky, and then at Luo Siyun who was squatting motionless.

Lumei, who was already sweating from the sun, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her temples.

I couldn't help suggesting, "Girl, let's go back to the house, it's midday now, the sun is so dazzling, you will suffer from heat stroke!"

Looking at Lu Mei's little face that was so red from the sun, Luo Siyun nodded, "Okay!"

To be honest, she has supernatural powers, but she really doesn't feel how hot she is!

But Lumei doesn't know, she is a bit stubborn, if she doesn't enter the house, this silly girl will always hold an umbrella for her!

Back in the house, with the shelter of the roof, it is indeed much cooler.

But it was much darker, Luo Siyun narrowed his eyes a little unaccustomed.

After staying outside for a long time, I suddenly went back to the house, my eyes were a little dazed.

Knowing that her eyes were unwell, Lumei thoughtfully handed her a wet handkerchief, "Miss, wipe your face, it will be fine in a while!"

Luo Siyun first cleaned his hands in the basin on the shelf behind the door, dried them with a clean veil on top, and then took the veil and wiped his face.

Lumei also took out a clean dry handkerchief from her bosom, and pressed her sweaty temples, "It's really hot today, the girl is delicate, it's better not to go out in Xiangwu!"

If the skin is tanned, it will be difficult to recover. When she was young, it was because of too much sun exposure that her skin did not recover until she entered the mansion and took care of it for several years.

The girl’s skin is whiter and more tender than a baby’s, it would be a pity if she gets tanned!

"I have nothing to do all day long, so the flowers in the yard keep me moving!" Staying in the room all day long, unable to do anything, eating enough, sleeping, and eating enough, I can almost compete with pigs Got it!
Thinking of this, Luo Siyun glanced at Lvmei with a resentful expression, "Aside from planting flowers and grass, what else can I do?"

Looking at the depressed girl, Lu Mei sighed helplessly.

"Girl, you asked Mama Liu to buy you a lot of storybooks to read a few days ago. Who stays up in the middle of the night and stays up with the lamp on to read them!" After reading it, I just want to go to the yard to look at the flowers, just like a child!

Boring is an excuse.

Staying up late at night, not waking up in the morning, taking lunch as breakfast, dinner as lunch, and making up for the missing dinner before going to bed, it's really a perfect meal.

It’s been a busy day, and there’s no point in getting bored.

Obviously I just wanted to see the flowers, but I couldn't wake up in the morning, so I went just after noon!

Having been dumped, Luo Siyun refused, and said stiffly, "I don't care, I'm just bored!"

"I don't think it's hot outside at all, the temperature is just right, and people need more sunshine to be healthy!"

Facing her answer, Lumei was very perfunctory, "Yes yes yes, not hot, not hot!" She took the handkerchief she had wiped her face and put it aside.

Luo Siyun snorted proudly, turned around and sat on the chair, holding his chin, looking at Lu Mei eagerly, "I'm hungry!"

You obviously just finished lunch, why are you hungry!

Lumei picked up the tea on the table and poured her a cup, "Mother Liu made pastries, both sweet and salty!"

"Girl, since you're hungry, why don't you use some first?" If you're full, you'll probably fall asleep!

That way you don't have to think about running out all the time.

Luo Siyun held his chin in his hands and looked intently at the small potted plant on the windowsill. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at her, "Pastry? Mother Liu can make pastries? Why didn't I know?" Are you so awesome?

"Mama Liu is good at eating, identifying flowers, and knows some basic pharmacology. The girl doesn't know that because she just moved here, and there are many things that she needs to do, and she doesn't do them because she doesn't have time!"

Now that I have finally freed up my hands, why don't I just hurry up and do it!

Luo Siyun nodded very interested, "Then bring me some!" She wanted to taste it.

"Yes!"

Watching Lvmei go out, she picked up the tea on the table and drank it.

After going out for a while, although it wasn't hot, my mouth was still a little dry.

The tea was prepared in the morning, and it is half-warm now, just right for your mouth!
After a while, Lumei came in with a tray in both hands.

Watching her put the two plates of exquisite snacks on the table, she did not forget to refill the half-empty teacup on the table with hot tea.

Luo Siyun gave Lvmei an approving look, and then looked at the two plates of pastries.

There were five snacks on each of the two plates, one was white square and the other was dark green flower-shaped.

They are all very delicate, they should be just out of the oven, and they are still steaming.

"Didn't you say mung bean cake? Why is there anything else?"

Lumei smiled, "Mama Liu likes to make pastries, and her skills are good. Every time she makes pastries, she likes to make many different flavors, so that you can taste each one."

"Today, she's going to make mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, walnut and chestnut cake, and glutinous rice cold cake! It's just that it's still early, so I only made two kinds, and the rest will be ready in the afternoon!"

Listening to her explanation, Luo Siyun curiously picked up a piece of white square pastry and took a bite.

Well, it's glutinous and chewy, not very sweet, but it's her favorite taste.

It would be more enjoyable if you eat while reading the storybook.

After a few bites of the pastry in his hand, "What's this called, it's so delicious!"

Lumei smiled and replied, "This is glutinous rice cold cake, one of Liu Ma's best cakes. The process is complicated. It needs to be ground into powder with high-quality pointed glutinous rice, and then carefully sifted three times. Finally, only the third Use the finest flour to make pastry."

"It's just that the taste of glutinous rice will be relatively simple, so Liu Ma will also put a little brown sugar in the middle to make the filling. The steamed cold cake is soft and glutinous in the mouth, sweet but not greasy. It is most suitable for eating when the afternoon is hot and you have no appetite. , if the girl likes it, you can eat more!"

"It's a clever idea, but you know how to say it, you eat a lot, right?" She can even tell one, two, three how to make it taste better, and she wouldn't believe it if she said she hadn't eaten it.

Lumei chuckled, "One of my servant's favorite cakes is the cold cake made by Mother Liu!"

"Then you really know how to eat!"

However, as long as the pastry is not too unpalatable, no one will dislike it.

He glanced at another plate of dark green flower-shaped pastries, "Is this mung bean cake?"

It looks crystal clear, and you can even faintly see the pattern of petals on it. Are mung bean cakes so beautiful these days?

"Yes, this mung bean cake is Liu Ma's specialty snack. The mung beans used were carefully selected by Liu Ma and I from a large bag of mung beans yesterday. After filtering twice, the skin and rough particles are removed, leaving only the bean cake with a rustle. In order to maintain the taste, the bean skin is specially steamed, leaving only the bean grains inside, and a little egg After adding an appropriate amount of brown sugar, make a model, and then steam it in a pot. The mung bean cake made in this way is sweet and delicious, dense in the mouth, and there are bean particles, without losing the taste..."

Listening to Lumei's introduction and looking at the two plates of simple snacks in front of her, Luo Siyun was astonished.

She didn't dare to look directly at this pastry. It was simply a symbol of how people look. Who would have thought that there would be such a complicated process for just two plates of pastries.

She is not considered a real noble or a wealthy family, but if this simple mung bean cake has to be made so complicated, then how extravagant the life of those noble children from wealthy families must be...

I can't help but feel astonished once again by the life of the rich and powerful in ancient times.

Seeing Luo Siyun sitting there motionless, Lu Mei couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you use it, girl? Is this mung bean cake not to your liking?"

No, she had tasted the mung bean cake made by Liu Ma before. It was sweet but not greasy, rich in taste, suitable for all ages, shouldn't the girl not like it?

Alas, although the girl has a good temper and good looks, it's a pity that she is too dazed and her health is not good!

Luo Siyun recovered, smiled, picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and tasted a couple of mouthfuls.

Sure enough, the taste is indeed better than cold cakes, chew carefully, and there are mung bean particles, which are fragrant but not greasy, with rich layers.

This simple mung bean cake can achieve this level, and Mama Liu is also a talent.

Luo Siyun has never been stingy in admiring talents, and immediately said, "I like it very much. I can ask Mama Liu to make this mung bean cake twice more. By the way, I will take two taels of silver from my makeup bag and give it to Mama Liu later!"

Lu Mei smiled and blessed her body, "Yes!"

Luo Siyun nodded, and said, "Well, seeing how smart your little mouth is, I'm in a good mood, so you can take one or two too! You can buy a few beautiful velvet flowers to wear when you go out next time! "

Hearing that she was also rewarded, Lumei's eyes lit up, she pursed her lips and thanked her with a smile, "Thank you for the reward, the girl is really kind!" The most important thing is that she has a good temper, she can meet such a Master, you are lucky for three lives.

It's no wonder she was happy, you know, her monthly allowance is only [-] Wen, which is half a tael, and Luo Siyun's tip is just one tael, which is directly two months' allowance.
