Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 46 Trouble

Now that the melons, fruits and vegetables have grown back, Xue Baobao is determined to please Wang Xifeng again, so he prepares the meals by himself at noon.

She knew that Wang Xifeng was a heavy-mouthed person who liked meat, sour and spicy food, so she prepared twice-cooked pork, Dongpo pork elbow, couple's lung slices, Maoxuewang and other heavy-tasting and oily dishes, and paired them with noodles with soybean paste.

We also prepared sweet and sour pork, pork with Su's sauce, and a specially made assorted fruit shredded dish to match Qiao Jie'er's taste.

Finally, I took care of Lin Daiyu's taste and made Daolianfang fish buns by myself.

At this time, the lotus flowers are blooming just right. Take the heart of the lotus flower, that is, the lotus chamber, and make it into a shell.

The bottom of the lotus pod is cut flat, the inner sac and lotus seeds are hollowed out, the diced mandarin fish meat is mixed with wine, sauce, and spices, stuffed into the lotus pod, and steamed until cooked.

After it is out of the pot, apply a layer of honey on the outside, and put it in a small piece of lotus leaf. It is bright yellow and emerald green, and it is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it.

If we really talk about it, this dish is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.

When the food was ready, Xue Baobao ordered peach blossom wine brewed just this spring, made deer pear syrup by himself, and perilla drink to relieve the heat.

When it was time to eat, there were icebergs placed around the room and in the center of the table. However, Wang Xifeng was still sweating profusely from eating and said that she enjoyed eating.

Sister Qiao even ate without raising her head, not to mention Baobao Xue, and even Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Xue unconsciously stretched out their chopsticks again and again.

The only two people who still remember being reserved and dignified were the two nerds who stared at the fish buns in Lianfang - Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian.

Such a meal was a feast for both the guests and the host. After the meal, Xue Baobao ordered the deer pear juice and perilla drink with ice to be brought to everyone to relieve their fever and tiredness.

Wang Xifeng stirred the small silver spoon with a long handle and sighed with satisfaction, "Auntie is so lucky. If I want to have a meal like this, I don't know how many years I have to wait!"

There are two mothers-in-law above her, and there is also Mrs. Wang to take care of her, so it goes without saying that she needs to take care of herself in the morning and dusk.

Usually it's okay, but when it's hot or cold, it's really a pain to run around the house to ask for safety and serve you.

Not to mention, according to the rules of Jia's house, as daughter-in-laws, they have to serve their mother-in-law and sister-in-law before they can eat.

She often had to serve Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to eat with Jia Mu and the Sanchun sisters first. After Jia Mu had finished eating, she had to serve Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang again, and then she could eat a few mouthfuls of leftover and cold food, which made her feel sad. Really, you can only know it by eating it.

Mr. Xue’s aunt died soon after giving birth to Mr. Xue Liu. Mrs. It’s all this way, when you become a mother-in-law yourself, you should enjoy the blessings of a daughter-in-law.”

But Mrs. Xue didn't know, this remark aroused Wang Xifeng's biggest worry, Niuniu is three years old, she hasn't shown her pregnancy yet, she urgently needs a son to stabilize her position!

Wang Xifeng forced a smile and changed the topic.

On that day, Xue Baobao kept his mouth shut, only saying that Mrs. Xue insisted on keeping Lin Daiyu for a few days, and asked Wang Xifeng to intercede with Jia Mu.

Wang Xifeng never thought that Lin Daiyu was planning not to return to Jia's house, and repeatedly promised to persuade Jia's mother to let Lin Daiyu stay here for a while, and then sent Lin Daiyu's clothes and supplies.

Wang Xifeng was absolutely reliable in doing things. Before dark, Zijuan packed up Lin Daiyu's daily items, books and clothes and sent them over.

Lin Daiyu listened to Xue Baobao's suggestion, and only asked Zijuan to go back to Jia's mansion, leaving Xueyan to wait on her, pretending to return soon.

Xue Baobao has always been worried about Lin Daiyu's health. It was inconvenient before, and he was also afraid of missing his whereabouts, making Mrs. Xue and Jia's family suspicious, so he only sent some food from time to time, and mixed some soup to nourish the Qi.

Now that Lin Daiyu lives next door to her, she has the confidence to hide Mrs.

There must be porridge to nourish the stomach and Qi in the morning, and soup to moisten the lungs and promote body fluids in the evening. The food is cooked every day just to let Lin Daiyu eat more.

Seasonal fruits in the space were sent to Lin Daiyu's mouth for nothing.

He also persuaded her, "Heal the liver and nourish the stomach, and those who eat grains will live. If there are no major symptoms, as long as you can eat some suitable food, it will be enough to support you.

Don’t eat your ginseng Yangrong pills anymore, what kind of ginseng is eaten by children, it’s not good to supplement too much.”

Lin Daiyu stopped taking the Ginseng Yangrong Pills for several years.

Originally, the first thing Lin Daiyu did when she woke up every morning was to practice calligraphy.

Xue Baobao also didn't allow her to practice, so he pulled her to box with him, and after breakfast, when the sun was not bright, they went to grow herbs and vegetables together.

After all the hard work, seeing that the weather was getting hotter, they invited Zhen Yinglian to study together, or chat with Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhen.

After lunch, everyone went to take a lunch break.

After getting enough sleep, Xue Baobao took Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian to play some boudoir games together, and went to the garden again after the sun went down.

After dinner in the evening, I went for a few laps to eliminate food. A few girls got together to talk and read books, and then went to bed early.

Life is stable, healthy, and regular, with the blessings of spatial spring water and vegetables and fruits. In less than two months, Lin Daiyu has grown significantly taller and stronger, and her small face is no longer weak and pale. , rosy in the white, makes people feel happy when they see it.

If before, Lin Daiyu was a white plum blossom struggling in the cold wind, now she is a pink peach blossom fluttering in the wind in March.

When Wang Xifeng came to Xue's house again, she was amazed and asked repeatedly, "What magic medicine did your sister Bao feed you to raise you so well?"

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled. After she recovered, her temperament miraculously became much more cheerful. Others might not notice it, but she knew it best.

"It's nothing. My sister only persuades me to eat more, and she always pulls me to plant vegetables and flowers. Today she picks fruits, and tomorrow she picks lotus pods and wanders around joking.

I also learned how to make wine and drinks from my sister!

My sister also said that when the weather gets cooler, I will find time for my elder brother to rest and take a bath, take us out of the city for a stroll, and teach me how to ride a horse! "

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "My ancestors even sent me to take my sister back. If you ask me, my sister is so well here, why should I pick her up? It would be better if I even sent Niuniu here."

Xue Baobao said seriously, "Niuniu is still young and cannot be separated from Sister Feng. When she is older, if she is still weak, she will be sent here too. I guarantee that I can feed her until she is fat and healthy in half a year!"

Wang Xifeng was joking, but hearing her say that made her heart skip a beat.

Just look at Sister Lin and you will know that Bao Yatou is not only good at cooking delicious food, but also has other skills, but she is not willing to let others talk about it easily.

If it's like what she said, it would be Niuniu's blessing.

Lin Daiyu acted coquettishly and shook Wang Xifeng's arm, "Since Sister Feng said so, why don't you ask Sister Feng to help me to intercede with the old lady and let me stay at my sister's house for a while, I still want to learn how to ride a horse!"

Wang Xifeng poked her on the forehead, "I think you are so happy and overjoyed! You count the past two months, how many times the old lady sent someone to pick you up?
No, those ladies and girls didn’t have the face to take our Miss Lin back and let me, a hard-working errand boy, come here?
If you want me to say, my sister, if you really don't want to part with this, you have to go back and live for a few days before begging your ancestors to come, lest you make your ancestors think about it all the time."

But Lin Daiyu just begged, Xue Baobao also smiled and said, "We know the difficulties of Sister Feng, I just ask Sister Feng to take pity on us, go to the old lady to intercede, let sister live for a while, and we will repay in the future sister's kindness".

Wang Xifeng thought that her daughter had been sick and weak, so she asked Xue Baobao to take care of her. Besides, she didn't care where Lin Daiyu lived, so she was happy to do this kind of favor——

"It's okay to say something else. Sister Lin has been out for too long. Not only my ancestors, but also Baoyu are thinking about it all the time. I have to remind you every three days and five days. I'd better go back with me first.

After a few days, I will ask my ancestors to send my sister over again. How about it? "

Wang Xifeng said this very sincerely, but Lin Daiyu changed his face and said, "If this is the case, I will not be able to go back, and the old ancestor will be fine. Could it be that if Second Master Bao reads it, I will not be able to go back?"

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses.

Xue Baobao sat aside and said nothing, just looked at Wang Xifeng and smiled.

Wang Xifeng's scalp suddenly became numb. Why does she always encounter such trouble?

……

……

Wang Xifeng returned home with a full load, but the one thing she wanted to take back most was Lin Daiyu.

Sister Qiao had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Wang Xifeng coming back, she asked her for the food Aunt Xue gave her.

Because Sister Qiao just had a fever and cold a few days ago, Wang Xifeng didn't take her to Xue's house today, but coaxed her to get the food that Xue Baobao would give her.

Wang Xifeng gave her a box of grape cakes from Xue Baobao, and she happily ate them, screaming that they were delicious.

This is the most delicious meal my daughter has eaten since she got sick!
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sigh. It was just a few pieces of cake. It was impossible for people like them to afford it, but they just couldn't make it taste like Xue Baobao.

Wang Xifeng sighed again unconsciously, and picked through the fresh fruit snacks given by Xue Baobao. She chose the ones that Xue Baobao gave too much but couldn't let go of. She took her life and went straight to Jia Mu's place.

She is not stingy, the main reason is that her little ancestors like to eat it, and even if the old ancestors knew about it, they would not even think about competing with the children's family for food.

Wang Xifeng has always been very talkative. When he met Jia Mu, he first praised Lin Daiyu's current situation, and also praised Xue Baobao for her ability to tinker with food. In just two months, Lin Daiyu was made fat and juicy.

He added, "Sister Lin really misses our ancestors. Just look at it, ah, even if our ancestors came in person today, seeing how well Sister Lin was raised there, he would definitely not be in a hurry to bring her back."

It would be better if Sister Lin was raised by Cousin Xue into a chubby New Year painting doll and brought back.

Furthermore, my aunt was reluctant to keep it, saying that it was still hot at this time, so it would be better to wait until it cools down before sending it back, so as to save Sister Lin from suffering on the road."

Mother Jia was doubtful, "Your sister Lin has always been sick. She has been taking medicine as food since she was a child, but she has not recovered. How can Bao Yatou make some delicious food and she is well? Can she still gain weight?"
