Glory all the way

Chapter 62
A large iron pot was placed on a small copper stove. The water in the pot was already boiling. From time to time, steaming steam rose from the cracks in the pot lid. In the mist, the old couple sitting behind the stove, The face looks so soft.

"Father, mother..."

The small calls were drowned in the hustle and bustle around, and Bai Yingluo could only see those two people in her eyes, as if the whole world had suddenly quieted down.

Without going forward, Bai Yingluo knew that what the old couple were hawking must be thin-skinned wontons with big fillings.

In the previous life, the aunt of the Bai family had good cooking skills, and folks from all over the world would invite her to help cook when they wanted to hold weddings and weddings.

But the favorite food of the three sisters of the Bai family is the mother-in-law's wonton.

Three delicacies soup made from a handful of dried shrimps, wontons with thin skins and big fillings, sprinkled with a handful of coriander and green onions when they come out of the pot, the huge bowl, the three sisters can eat a bowl for each person without leaving anything.

At that time, whenever my mother was preparing to make wontons in the pot, the three sisters liked to gather around the stove and said that they would learn how to make three delicacies wontons, so that they could make them by themselves when my mother was away.

However, when I really started to do it myself, it didn't taste like that at all.

Now, Bai Yingluo stood and watched from a distance, only then did she realize in her heart that it was the taste of her mother, and no one could learn it.

"Yingluo, what's wrong with you?"

Shaking Bai Yingluo's arm, the sixth princess came over and asked with concern, pulling Bai Yingluo out of her memories.

"Princess, let me treat you to some wontons, okay?"

Although it was a soliciting word, Bai Yingluo could not help but pull the sixth princess forward, and when they stood still in front of the small stall, the old couple behind the stove had already stood up with some trepidation.

Obviously, with the six princesses and Bai Yingluo's clothes, it is impossible to come to the street to eat such indecent things.

"Miss, what are your orders?"

The old man Bai wiped his hands on the lapel and asked.

"Old man, here are two bowls of wontons."

As she spoke with a smile on her face, Bai Yingluo turned her head and gave the sixth princess a wink. Although the sixth princess was full of doubts, she didn't ask any further questions, and followed Bai Yingluo to sit down at the simple, small square table.

The old couple looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. Immediately, the two moved swiftly to get ready.

"Yingluo, I'm so full. I just ate a big bowl of rice noodles. I can't eat anymore..."

With a wrinkled face, the sixth princess lowered her voice and looked at Bai Yingluo and said.

"The princess can eat as many mouthfuls as she can. They do such a small business, and they can't make much money standing from morning to night all day. Let's take it as an act of kindness."

Bai Yingluo pouted behind her.

The sixth princess was startled, and suddenly understood.

This small stall was originally placed near the wall in the middle of the street. More and more people crowded in from all directions. The old couple were afraid that the boiling water in the pot would scald the passers-by, so they carefully moved the stall to the corner of the wall. .

But in this way, the people on the street didn't notice at all. Turning around, someone was really hungry. Looking around, if they couldn't see them, they went elsewhere. After a whole day, they might not be able to sell. A few bowls of wontons came out.

But on the chopping board under the table, there were many wontons neatly placed, which were obviously wrapped long ago. If they couldn't be sold, they could only take it back and eat it at home, and they would definitely lose money.

It was precisely this point that Bai Yingluo noticed, and she was filled with pity.

"Yingluo, you are still careful."

Complimenting softly, the sixth princess blinked at Bai Yingluo, stood up and shouted loudly: "Brother, brother Yu, come quickly, here are delicious wontons, I treat you, come and eat. Also, how many of you Come here too, Miss Ben is showing kindness today and treats you to something to eat."

The crown prince and Lin Zhiyu walked over with suspicion on their faces. Behind them, the aunt in charge of Ninghua Palace followed with a few servants.

A group of people immediately surrounded the small wonton stall.

Stretching out her fingers and counting the heads, the sixth princess turned around and shouted with a smile: "Old man, auntie, here are eight bowls, no, ten bowls of wontons."

After finishing speaking, the sixth princess looked at the two servants standing behind the aunt in charge and said, "You two, each have two bowls. If it's not enough, you can share another bowl."

"Grand...Miss, slave, slave..."

With a bitter face, the little eunuch wanted to say that he was full just now, but was stared at by the sixth princess, and shrank his neck to take back what he wanted to say.

On the other side, the sixth princess had already approached the prince and told him about the embarrassment of the old couple.

A bowl of wontons was nothing more than a lot, and so many people had already gathered around, the prince smiled helplessly, and tapped the Sixth Princess on the forehead, which was considered as his consent.

The wonton bags are big and round, and they are thrown into the pot along the slender panel, which arouses a burst of jubilant water vapor, and when the sesame oil is dripped in the bowl, a tempting fragrance suddenly emerges.

Rao the sixth princess and Bai Yingluo had just eaten a big bowl of rice noodles, and now smelling the smell, it also aroused the glutton in their stomachs.

There were only two small square tables in front of the stall, the prince and the sixth princess sat around one, and the other one, the aunt in charge and the two servants did not dare to sit, and the stalemate could not be resolved, so the sixth princess simply let the table sit. He followed them, and started eating with a spoon.

The crown prince and Lin Zhiyu were reluctant at first, but after a few mouthfuls, they immediately had no more scruples. The taste of the three delicacies wontons is really delicious, not bad at all compared to the bridge rice noodles in the shop in the alleyway just now.

A bowl of five copper coins, only looks like eleven or twelve wontons. Although everyone ate, they couldn't hold these wontons. After a while, a stack of empty bowls was placed on the table.

The old couple behind the stove, seeing these four people dressed in brocade clothes, they looked like young masters and ladies from rich families, but they didn't dislike their simple wontons at all. They were happier than selling ten bowls of wontons. Both of them were smiling. It also reveals a bit of honesty and simplicity.

Bai Yingluo took out her purse, and before she could take out the money, the sixth princess beside her anxiously stopped her, "Yingluo, as I said just now, today is my treat, don't grab it from me."

After all, the sixth princess couldn't help but took a tael of silver from the aunt in charge, and handed it to the old man, "Old man, there is no need to look for it, we will come to eat next time, just remember us."

"Miss, this can't be done, this..."

Hesitantly looking at the money in his hand, old man Bai anxiously wanted to decline, but the group of people in front of him had already pushed and pushed away to the distance, leaving behind only a series of laughter, and there was no one to see.

After strolling around for more than an hour, seeing that it was getting late, the prince urged the sixth princess, and the group headed towards the lane where the carriage was listening.

"Yingluo, you are so kind..."

After getting into the carriage and sitting down, the sixth princess took off the veiled hat and handed it to the aunt in charge to put it away, while affectionately holding Bai Yingluo's arm, she couldn't stop praising her.

"It's obvious that the princess has done something good, so why praise me?"

Bai Yingluo laughed jokingly.

The sixth princess didn't take the credit, she held back her smile and said: "It's different, if I come out alone, even if I walk up to them, I'm afraid I won't notice it, so it's your credit. You have a good heart." , and as careful as a hair, in the future, I don’t know who will be lucky enough to marry you.”

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Bai Yingluo still had a modest and soft smile on her face, but her face was flushed with shame in the second half of the sentence. If it wasn't for the aunt who was in charge of Ninghua Palace by her side, Bai Yingluo would definitely scratch her head like usual. The princess' itch is gone.

Seeing that Bai Yingluo's cheeks were flushed, she kept squinting at herself, but she was so angry that she dared not speak, the sixth princess smiled triumphantly, and in a blink of an eye, the carriage was already galloping forward.

After a cup of tea, the carriage stopped again, and it had already arrived at the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

After getting out of the carriage and saluting to the prince and the sixth princess, Bai Yingluo turned and entered the gate, but behind her, there was a group of eyes watching her closely.

First went to Qing'an Hall to say hello to Mrs. Bai, and then greeted Mrs. Xue. Knowing that everything was safe and sound outside, Mrs. Xue didn't ask any more questions, so she let Bai Yingluo go back to her room to rest.

Lying on the soft couch after bathing, Bai Yingluo still felt so excited that she couldn't help herself.

Since meeting Bai Xiu in Xiaoshan Temple, Bai Yingluo has been planning and looking forward to it countless times in her heart, thinking that if she has the opportunity to go to the village in the outer suburbs again, it would be great if she can live for a while. At that time, there will always be a chance Go see the elders.

But now, as if she was favored by God, she saw it so unexpectedly, Bai Yingluo silently recited "Bodhisattva Blessing" countless times in her heart.

Although it was only a bowl of wontons, Bai Yingluo looked at it carefully. The old man's body was as strong as before, and his complexion was not bad. There was no worry in his brows, which showed that life at home was going well.

"Miss, after going out for a walk, your complexion has improved a lot. It can be seen that going out for a walk is really beneficial."

Seeing Bai Yingluo's happy smile, Chen Xiang came over with a handkerchief to wipe her hair and said.

She pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't tell her about meeting the two elders of the Bai family. She only told them the anecdote that the sixth princess invited everyone to eat wontons, which caused the two servants to hug their stomachs before leaving.

After finishing speaking, Liusu shook her head regretfully, and the smile on Bai Yingluo's face faded involuntarily.

"Lisu, what's the matter? But what's wrong?"

Bai Yingluo asked anxiously.

"Miss, the street is full of fish and dragons. Is there anyone there? I'm afraid that since you and the sixth princess were sitting at the stall, there have been those ruffians with evil intentions who have been following you. As soon as you leave, those people will attack you." Those who went to extort money, those two old men selling wontons, probably won’t even get a copper coin in their pockets.”

Tassel said a little disappointed.

As if she had reacted belatedly, Bai Yingluo's face turned pale, and she murmured with some self-reproach: "Yeah, I should have thought of it... Didn't I hurt them, and made them pay ten dollars?" What about the cost of a bowl of wontons?"

Regardless of brushing her hair, Bai Yingluo went to the dressing table, opened the drawer, took out a five taels of silver ingot, handed it to Tassel, and said, "Go to the old man in the conservatory, his son is on business outside the house, and see if he can help you find it." Go to the two old people's house and give this to them."

Knowing that there must be a reason for her young lady to do this, Liusu didn't ask any more questions, took the silver ingot and walked out quickly.
