Smuggling Daming

The fire in the kitchen was burning, making the room extra warm. The chopping board was sprinkled with flour. Su Niang rolled the dough into round strips, and then cut them into small balls with a knife. The bracelet next to her held a small rolling pin in her hand, and quickly Flatten the dough one by one and roll them into dumpling wrappers, while Aunt Wang sits next to the chopping board, holding some dumpling stuffing with chopsticks in her right hand and putting them on the wrappers, she closes her hands together and releases them, and a plump dumpling is finished.

Two days before the winter solstice, my family ate dumplings according to the habit brought from the north. As a result, the dumpling stuffing was a bit too much. I couldn’t finish it on the day of the winter solstice. Although it is cold now, it will become sour after a long time, so today at noon Aunt Wang decided to make dumplings again and finish the rest of the stuffing.

"It's time to eat dumplings again, I'm here to help!" At this moment, Zhou Zhong opened the kitchen curtain and came in, seeing the busy Aunt Wang and the three of them laughing, and after speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to wash his hands to help.

"How can you be a big man doing these things all the time? Go and sit in the house and wait for a while. I'll bring it to you when it's ready!" Aunt Wang stopped him and said, she always insisted that men should not enter the kitchen Because she thinks that the man who enters the kitchen is worthless, and Zhou Zhong will study and become an official in the future, how can he go to the kitchen to cook every day?Although she also likes to eat Zhou Chong's dishes.

But Zhou Zhong said indifferently: "It's okay, more people are needed to make dumplings to be interesting. Everyone chatting while making dumplings, this is like a family."

But as soon as Zhou Zhong's words fell, Su Niang in front of the chopping board smiled and said: "Young master's words are indeed reasonable, but you are the head of the family, and there are several women like us in the family. Young master, if you do it yourself, what do we women need to do?"

After a few days of getting along, Su Niang has become familiar with the Zhou Mansion, she is no longer as restrained as she was when she first came here, and she dares to speak when she sees Zhou Zhong.Only then did Zhou Zhong discover that Su Niang is also a person who can speak well, and every sentence can hit the point, making it impossible to refute.

"Well, brother, you should go and accompany little sister, as long as we are here!" Zhuan'er also said at this time, and turned her head to Zhou Zhong with a sweet smile after speaking.

Seeing Zhuaner and the three of them didn't want him to help, Zhou Zhong had to shake his head and leave the kitchen. He walked into Aunt Wang's room, but when the white ball who was playing happily with Duoer saw him, he was frightened again Drilling into the bedroom, Duo'er cheered, rushed over and plunged into Zhou Zhong's arms, yelling for him to play with her.

Zhou Zhong has always been good at coaxing children. Just as he was having fun with Duo'er, he suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from the yard. Then Butler Xu opened the door curtain and came in. Seeing Zhou Zhong, he said: " Young Master, Miss Xie's family came to visit Missy, and she is already waiting in the Nuan Pavilion in the front hall, do you think you want to invite her to the inner house?"

Generally speaking, if a guest comes to visit, it is enough to receive them in the front hall, but Xie Lingyun is a woman, and she came to visit Bracelet by name, which is equivalent to walking between girlfriends, not a formal visit. In this case, it was Zhuan'er who led her best friend to the inner house, and then received her in her embroidered building, but now the Zhou family's situation is different. Butler Xu was worried that Zhuan'er was not ready, so he asked the other party to come in front of her. The hall and warm pavilion are temporarily waiting.

"Well, I'll ask Zhuan'er to change clothes, and then we'll go see him with me!" Zhou Zhong said immediately after hearing this, although the other party said that he came to visit Zhuang'er, but based on his understanding of Xie Lingyun, this Miss Xie It's definitely not as simple as just looking for a bracelet!

Bracelet'er was also very happy when she heard Xie Lingyun's visit. Since her family business was lost, Xie Lingyun was the first one among the sisters she dated to visit on her own initiative, and the rouge last time also touched Bracelet'er very much. He already regarded Xie Lingyun as his best sister in his heart.

Soon Zhuang'er changed her clothes, and then rushed to the warm pavilion in the front hall with Zhou Zhong's gift for Xie Lingyun. Zhou Zhong couldn't catch up with him. The cheerful voice of the bracelet: "The soap and glycerin are all made by my brother. The whole process is like a fairy magic. I still can't figure out the reason..."

Hearing Biao'er's words, Zhou Zhong smiled. He wanted to teach Biao'er, but unfortunately the other party didn't have any chemical background. If he wanted to understand the principle of saponification reaction, it was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words. .

Zhou Zhong raised his legs and entered the Nuan Pavilion, just in time to see Zhuan'er and Xie Lingyun sitting on both sides of a coffee table, and the little maid was standing behind Xie Lingyun, when she saw Zhou Zhong coming in, she stared fiercely for some reason. glanced at him?

The gift box on the table has been opened, and the soap and glycerin inside have also been taken out. It seems that Bracelet has introduced these two items to Xie Lingyun.Among them, Xie Lingyun's palm gently caressed Biao'er's cheek, feeling the difference between the skin after using soap and glycerin, while Biao'er desperately praised her brother's ability in front of the other party.

"Miss Xie's presence really makes the humble house luxuriant. It's rude for Zhou to welcome her from a distance!" Zhou Zhong came in and cupped his hands at Xie Lingyun.For this scheming and powerful woman, Zhou Zhong didn't like or dislike her, he just instinctively didn't want to deal too much with her, so as not to suffer, but the usual etiquette was very thoughtful.

Seeing Zhou Zhong coming in, Xie Lingyun looked at Zhou Zhong with a strange look. To be precise, she should be a little curious in the examination, because she really didn't expect that Zhou Zhong would actually create novels besides writing novels. Soap and glycerin stuff.

"Mr. Zhou is really a master who hides his secrets. Little girls have never heard of soap and glycerin, but the effect is surprising. I don't know where you learned this manufacturing method?" Xie Lingyun looked at Zhou Zhong. After a while, he smiled sweetly.

"Haha, soap and glycerin are just small gifts made by Zhou in a flash of inspiration. I really don't deserve such a compliment from Miss Xie!" Zhou Zhong said haha, soap is one of the trump cards he plans to accumulate funds, Of course, it is impossible to leak too much information.

"Oh, it turned out that Mr. Zhou came up with it himself. The little girl really admires it!" The corners of Xie Lingyun's mouth raised slightly, and the corners of her eyes had a somewhat incomprehensible smile. Then she turned her head and said to the bracelet next to her, "Sister Bracelet, it's already noon now. My sister has been running all morning, and she hasn't even eaten breakfast. I wonder if you would like to keep me in the mansion for dinner?"

Bracelet'er was obviously stunned when she heard this, she already regarded Xie Lingyun as her best sister in her heart, so it would be no problem to keep him for dinner, but she didn't know that Xie Lingyun was coming, the mansion only made some dumplings, plus It's already noon now, and there's no time to prepare other meals. Wouldn't it be too shabby to entertain guests with only dumplings?

Bracelet'er is still young, and she has encountered great changes in her family, which makes her self-esteem very sensitive, so she thinks more about some things. In contrast, Zhou Zhong has not so many scruples. Hearing that Xie Lingyun offered to ask After eating in the mansion, I immediately took it over and said: "Miss Xie is willing to stay in the mansion for dinner. Zhou naturally welcomes it very much, but now that the people in the mansion have dispersed, there are no other dishes prepared, but Auntie and the others made some dumplings. If Miss Xie doesn't dislike it, I invite you to eat in the backyard!"

Xie Lingyun saw Zhou Dafang acknowledging the predicament of the Zhou family generously, without showing any expression of shame, and her evaluation of Zhou Zhong was a little higher in her heart.I saw a bitter smile on her face and said: "Lingyun is not some delicate and expensive young lady, as the only daughter of the Xie family, in order to manage the family's business, Lingyun comes and goes in the wind and rain every day. I don't know where to eat my next meal, and I don't even have time to eat a lot of time, so I can only eat a few snacks in the car to satisfy my hunger. If it is possible, Lingyun also hopes to have someone who can shelter her from the wind and rain like sister Zhuan'er. My good brother!"

When it came to the end, Xie Lingyun looked at Zhuo'er with a rare look of envy. No matter how capable she is, she is still a woman, and she should not be responsible for the family. Unfortunately, there is no one in the family. Brother and brother, Xie Lingyun had no choice at all.

It was also the first time for Biao'er to hear Xie Lingyun's complaints, and she felt great sympathy at the moment, and at the same time, she was glad that she had a good brother.But Zhou Zhong was very surprised, because in his impression, Xie Lingyun didn't seem like a person who easily expressed his feelings. Now the other party suddenly changed his previous indifferent personality and complained in front of him and Zhuo'er. Obviously very abnormal.

Since Xie Lingyun wanted to stay for dinner, it was impossible for Zhou Zhong to let the other party only eat dumplings. Now he and Biao'er took Xie Lingyun back to Aunt Wang's yard in the inner house, and then Biao'er accompanied her to chat, while Zhou Zhong asked Wang to eat dumplings. Auntie and Su Niang prepared a few more dishes, and Aunt Wang and Zhuan'er sat with them during the meal.

After dinner, Bracelet chatted with Xie Lingyun, while Zhou Zhong went back to his room and took out Jin Pingmei's manuscript to sort it out, because he could be sure that Xie Lingyun would definitely come to him to read the manuscript of the new book in the end.Thinking of Xie Lingyun's reaction when she saw Jin Ping Mei, Zhou Zhong couldn't help showing a dirty smile.

Sure enough, Xie Lingyun didn't keep Zhou Zhong waiting for too long. After half an hour, Bracelet brought Xie Lingyun to Zhou Zhong's place, followed by the little maid who was still counting beads.Seeing Xie Lingyun enter the room to look around, she was also very surprised when she saw that there was no furniture in the room except tables, chairs and a stove for making fire. She did not expect Zhou Zhong to be in such a crude The place where such a sensational novel as Journey to the West was written.
