Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 50 Brother and Sister Reunion

The waiters followed Baobao Xue three feet behind him. He was afraid of being discovered by them, so he lowered his head and let the tears drip down the pony's smooth mane.

She didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, and she didn't want to. No matter how many tears of reunion and tears of extreme joy shed, it was worth it.

Xue Baobao didn't know where her brother asked her to meet him, but she knew that he would definitely think of a way.

Her brother, who is smart and capable, will definitely find a way to meet her. All she has to do is to stay away from the crowd as much as possible so that he can find her!

Xue Baobao took a deep breath, barely controlled the tears that were still pouring out, flicked the whip, and the horse galloped out.

She wants to see her brother!

Xue Baobao quickly left the circle of the racecourse and out of the sight of everyone in the Xue family. Only the few waiting boys could not get rid of him.

so what?
Her brother is smarter than her and he will always think of a way. Now that he is here, why should she use her brain?
Xue Baobao thought a little willfully, and whipped the riding crop in his hand faster.

Soon, she saw a small lake in the distance. Beside the lake was a man in red clothes like fire, tall and tall, drinking a horse.

Xue Baobao perked up and she knew it!

The horse was running fast, Xue Baobao saw more and more clearly, she could see clearly that the man was wearing a red dress, which was actually a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

Jin Yiwei?
It wasn't brother who came, but Yu Xin?

Or another Jinyiwei?

Where is brother?

Is that my brother?

Xue Baobao's mood became more and more urgent. At this time, the man seemed to have finally heard the sound of her horse's hooves, pulled the horse's bridle, and turned around.

Yes, Yu Xin, not brother—

Xue Baobao was disappointed, but he could only obediently get off his horse and return the gift, "I have met Master Yu".

As she straightened her body, Yu Xin also raised her head, a pair of handsome and narrow phoenix eyes raised slightly towards her, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Sister, I didn't expect you to pretend to be a lady, and you almost deceived me." Pass me!"

Xue Baobao's eyes widened suddenly, brother, whenever brother made fun of her, he liked to use this kind of yin and yang tone, calling her sister!

"I always ask you what do you like besides medical theory, but you are not alert when you shouldn't be alert, but you refuse to tell me, and even ran away, causing me to waste so much thought!"

Yu Xin complained, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was getting bigger and bigger. He had been looking for his sister for five years, and finally found it!
Xue Baobao tightly covered his open mouth, and the tears that had just stopped began to fall crazily again.

Brother, it's her brother, who was reincarnated and found her!
elder brother!

Yu Xin opened his arms slightly, it was a gesture of wanting to hold her in his arms to comfort her, a gesture of wanting to hold her in his arms to vent his five years of longing and pursuit.

But he immediately withdrew his arm, held the Xiuchun knife at his waist, glanced at the servants brought by Xue Baobao, and quickly ordered, "Baby, our identities are inconvenient now.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I can't stay long, let alone go to you often, and you don't want to come to me.

Don't worry, I will soon arrange a proper opportunity and identity to approach you openly.

If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, come to me."

Yu Xin said that he secretly stuffed a purse for her, then took a few steps back, bent over and bowed, obviously ready to leave.

Xue Baobao subconsciously took half a step forward, wanting to speak, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with a few hot and sour chicken feet with lemon, sour and spicy, and even more sweet aftertaste, he couldn't make a sound at all.

Yu Xin could see her reluctance, so how could he be willing?

The two brothers and sisters just stared at each other silently for a few seconds, Yu Xin finally controlled the buoyant longing and reluctance in his heart, and raised his eyebrows, "Baby, we meet after a lifetime, my brother said a lot of words, but the baby kept saying Brother doesn't want to call?"

"elder brother--"

Xue Baobao opened his mouth to call him, but the sound he made was more like choking.

Yu Xin's eyes were hot, and he forced a smile, "Okay, I'm leaving, waiting for my brother to come to you!"

As he spoke, he got on his horse, looked at Baobao Xue affectionately, and rode away.

Xue Baobao firmly controlled himself not to turn his head to look at him. He walked slowly forward to the river where Yu Xin drank his horse and squatted down, waving to wash his face.

Her tears were still flowing, so she kept drawing water to wash her face.

Suddenly, she understood what she had never been able to understand about Daiyu's repayment of tears.

If it was to meet her brother again, even if she shed all the tears in this life, she would be willing to do so!
She squatted by the river, with her back turned to a few boys. The boys only thought she was playing in the water. They didn't dare to get close and just stood far away.

About half an hour later, Xue Pan and others arrived.

Xue Baobao couldn't shed tears at this time, his eyes were dry and uncomfortable, and a little swollen, so he hurriedly washed his face several times.

Xue Pan was careless and didn't notice it at all, but both Lin Daiyu and Lin Daiyu had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Xue Baobao secretly pulled the two of them to whisper, only saying that his stomach hurts, and he couldn't help crying secretly just now, so he didn't dare to look back to them.

Lin Daiyu and Lin Daiyu were shocked and hurriedly said they would go back to find the doctor.

Xue Baobao waved his hands nonchalantly, "It doesn't hurt anymore, what doctor should I find, I'm not that fragile yet!
I finally went out and it made my stomach hurt. My wife will definitely not allow me to come out again in the future."

The second daughter kept asking, to make sure she was really all right, that's all.

Fearing that Mrs. Xue and the maids would find out, Xue Baobao and the others played near the lake until almost noon before returning to the racecourse.

At this time, the redness and swelling in Xue Baobao's eyes were no longer visible. When she returned, she ordered a fire to be made.

What I have to do today is simple, but it is the bottom and steamed crabs. She just needs to control the heat on the side.

This is the time when the crabs are at their fattest. Steaming them can reveal the deliciousness of the crabs to the greatest extent. Even without any seasoning, they are still delicious.

Xue Baobao ordered to take out the condiments that had been prepared in the morning, and serve them with cold dishes and snacks for his own use if necessary.

This is the dignity that autumn outings should have!
It's a pity that there are too many restrictions on ladies in this era. Whether it is Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Zhen, Lin Daiyu, or Zhen Yinglian, they all ask the maids to use crab-eating utensils to hook crab meat and crab roe and put them in small dishes. Xue Pan also ate like this.Xue Baobao regretted to give up the fun of tearing crab legs with his left hand and breaking crab roe with his right hand, and just let it go.

……

……

The members of the Xue family stayed until the evening before returning to the city. Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian dared not to be led by the servants, and rode slowly away.

The two were very excited and kept chatting about their learning experience and happiness on the way back, and discussed coming back next time.

Xue Baobao didn't enjoy eating the steamed crabs, and because he was excited and excited to find his brother, he had a big appetite, so he thought about having a crab feast.

After all, you only eat crabs for so long every year, so you can’t let it go to waste.

Just do what you say, and when she goes back, she will order people to buy related ingredients, seasonings, etc.

Because she has high requirements and doesn't want to easily dispose of the supplies in the Niu Knife space, it took several days to finally buy them all. It just so happened that Wang Xifeng posted a post saying that she would send sister Qiao to Xue's house for a few days.

The mother-in-law who came to deliver the post was Wang Xifeng’s roommate. After explaining the business, she complained to Mrs. Xue, “It’s true that our grandma can work harder.

Grandma Xiao Rong in the East Mansion is gone, and her mother-in-law was too sad to get up in bed, so Uncle Zhen begged our grandma to help.

Now our grandma has to worry about the lives of the whole family in Rongfu, and she also has to go to Dongfu to arrange funerals. She really wishes she could be divided into two.

The wives and grandmothers in our house all had to go to Dongfu to hold funerals and entertain guests. They were also busy and sad, but no one paid attention to us, the eldest daughter.

Our grandma was not worried about leaving the eldest sister to the slaves, so she wanted to ask my aunt to take care of her for a while. The eldest sister also shouted that she wanted to find Miss Bao, and asked my aunt to help her."

Xue Baobao realized that it seemed that the story had progressed to the point where Qin's scandal with her father-in-law was discovered and she committed suicide.

Mrs. Xue is a widow at home. Now that Xue Pan is not causing trouble, Xue Baobao has taken over most of the family affairs. She just gossips with a few girls every day and goes to the garden with Mrs. Zhen. She has a lot of free time. My niece came here to entrust her solemnly, how could she not want to?

Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Brother Feng is just being polite, and even said that it is not perfect, if she is not busy, even if I want to take Niu Niu here for a few days, she would not be willing!
It's just that the child's house suddenly changed places, and his parents were not around, so he had to bring the usual waiters and all the usual things with him.

But people like us are not afraid of spending a few extra fares."

The mother-in-law repeatedly said yes, and early the next morning, Jia Lian sent Sister Qiao over in person, and because Wang Xifeng was worried, Ping'er followed.

Sister Qiao didn't miss her father at all. She got out of the car and reluctantly said goodbye to Jia Lian under Ping'er's guidance. After holding Ping'er's hand, she started to run inside and kept shouting, "Hurry up." Hurry! Ping'er, hurry up, I'm going to find Aunt Xue, Aunt Zhen and Aunt Lin!"

Jia Lian scolded with a smile, said some polite words to Xue Pan who came out to welcome him, and left.

Xue Baobao has always liked children, and he loves the well-behaved and beautiful Qiaojieer even more. He was very happy to see her coming, and took her to hopscotch, kick sandbags, and swing with her.

Just as the ingredients for eating crabs were ready, she made a crab-stuffed orange and a pot of crab soup by herself at noon.

Many people have heard of the name crab-stuffed oranges, and it’s not complicated to make. You just need to select large oranges that are of good quality and sell well, cut off the tops and dig out the pulp to make a hollow orange vat.

Put the meat paste removed from the crabs into an orange jar until it is nine-tenths full. Pour in a spoonful of orange juice, rice wine, vinegar and a little water, then cover it with the top lid and steam it in the pot.

As a child, he likes to eat fresh and cute food. Xue Baobao carved two short, round ears out of the orange urn with a butcher knife.

After the crab-stuffed oranges are steamed, mung beans are used to make eyes, and the dough is pinched to form an ugly and cute mouth. A cute version of the stuffed oranges with crab is ready.

Not only did Sister Qiao couldn't put it down, she couldn't bear to eat it at all, even Mrs. Xue and others called it interesting when they saw it.

Xue Baobao poured the pre-prepared ingredients into the orange jar and gave Sister Qiao a small silver spoon to dig in and eat.

Everyone else at the table got an elegant crab-stuffed orange and a slightly larger silver spoon.

The heated orange peel exudes more aromatic oil, allowing the aroma of the orange to fully evaporate.

After entering the mouth, the oranges are sweet and slightly sour, and the crab meat is delicious and refreshing. The impact on the taste buds is definitely the "Orange Crab" as the ancients said!
Crab Stuffed Oranges was an appetizer before meals. After everyone was [-]% full, crab soup was served hot after the meal.

Although crab soup and crab stuffed oranges are both made of crabs, they taste completely different.

Warm in the belly, the sweetness of the crab and the heat of the spices hit the taste buds. They do not overpower each other, but magically complement each other. It is definitely the best combination of "fresh" and "spicy".

This is the correct way to start eating crabs!
Xue Baobao's belly was round and satisfied after eating, and he began to think about eating Snowflake Crab Fight tomorrow. It is delicious and beautiful. Sister Lin and Sister Qiao will definitely like it...

……

……

Qin Keqing's funeral just stopped for 49 days. During these 49 days, a long white street in Ningguofu Street was filled with people coming and going, flowers clustered in clusters of officials and officials coming and going, an endless scene of dignity.

The Xue family was related by marriage, so Mrs. Xue had no choice but to order Xue Pan to pay homage. After Qin Keqing sent the spirit to Tiekang Temple, Xue Pan went to set up a road memorial ceremony.

Wang Xifeng had been busy for two months before she had time to come to Xue's house to pick up Sister Qiao in person. It was already winter.

I haven't seen her for two months. Although Wang Xifeng likes to take care of things and shows off her talents, when she sees her daughter again at first sight, she feels sad and misses her. .

After looking at it, she found that in just two months, her daughter had grown at least five catties of flesh, she looked chubby, her little face was even more rosy and pleasing, and she felt heavy in her hands.

It was exactly the same as Lin Daiyu's situation before!
Surprised and delighted, Wang Xifeng thanked Mrs. Xue and Baobao Xue again and again, and said with a smile, "Auntie and cousin took such good care of Miss Qiao. I really can't thank you enough. It's better to just give this little ancestor to my auntie." Just be a granddaughter!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Sister Qiao showed off to Wang Xifeng in a coquettish voice, telling her what delicious food Aunt Xue had made for her and what fun things she had taken her to do.

Aunt Zhen made her new clothes, new shoes, and embroidered butterflies for her. Aunt Lin taught her how to read and recite poems...

Wang Xifeng saw that her daughter was not only in good health, but even more lively, so she couldn't help chanting Buddha's name again and again, thanking Mrs. Zhen, Zhen Yinglian and Lin Daiyu.

Although she has a greedy and vicious temperament, she also has a clear distinction between love and hate. Seeing that her daughter was taken care of so well in Xue's house, she was very grateful and generously gave Xue Baobao the red gold plate Chi Yingluo ring worn around her neck. The tied Chaoyang Wufeng hung a pearl hairpin to Lin Daiyu, and gave Zhen Yinglian the Pisces Bimu rose tied around her waist.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhen quickly refused, saying that it was too expensive and they couldn't bear it.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "You two ladies, please allow me to do my best, otherwise I will be too embarrassed to send Sister Qiao to my aunt's house next time when I get busy!"

Mrs. Xue laughed and scolded, and ordered the three girls to suffer.
