From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 348 Warm feelings
Staring at the food box that hadn't been fully placed in the dark compartment, and smelling the aroma of food emanating from it, Zongzheng Mingzhen was very hungry, and suddenly felt very hungry.He shook his head lightly and said, "Usually I buy something to eat on the side of the road, but today there is no one to set up a stall in Xueda, so I didn't eat."

The main reason is that he came out too early and left in a hurry, Zi Chen didn't have time to go to the kitchen to get food, usually if there was something urgent he would bring some pastries with him.So, sitting in the warm carriage and smelling the aroma of food, he is really hungry!

Hearing the gurgling sound in his stomach, Mei Xin smiled and said: "My godmother always said that the day's plan is in the morning, if you don't eat breakfast well, you will lose energy for a day, no matter how busy you are in the future, you will remember After breakfast, it’s not easy to get distracted when you’re full. Cattail, open both food boxes. Mingzhen, see what you like to eat, and take it yourself.”

It's not something expensive, Mei Xin doesn't have the slightest bit of reluctance.On the contrary, she was afraid that there would be nothing he liked to eat.

Cattail was a little embarrassed, because Sister-in-law Li had prepared all these food for Mei Xin.Pregnant people are prone to hunger, if Zongzheng Mingzhen eats it, what will she eat when she is hungry?And now she feels like throwing up when she's hungry, and she can't eat anymore when she throws up, which is even more troublesome.

Seeing that she was dawdling but not taking out the food box, Yun Luo showed embarrassment and hesitated to speak, and understood her worry in the blink of an eye.Stretching out her hand to bring out the food boxes with no expression on her face, she opened them one by one and said, "Major General, there are two boxes of pastries that I forgot to take. This servant will go get them."

Mei Xin understood immediately when she heard this, she nodded lightly and said, "Well, you can go. The carriage moves slowly, you can catch up by yourself after a while, and let Fei Chen go."

It was getting late, and Yu Hou was walking ahead of her, so she couldn't delay any longer.

"Yes!" Standing up to leave, Yun Luo gestured to Fei Chen and hurried in.

Fei Chen understood, got on his horse, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Zi Chen didn't want to walk but he had no horse to ride. Seeing that there was only one person sitting in the driver's seat, he jumped on it unceremoniously.

Wang Eryin ignored him, raised his whip and drove away from the spot.

The snow on the road has been cleared and piled neatly on both sides of the road.Therefore, it was not as slippery as yesterday, and Wang Eryin's driving skills were good, so the road was safe and sound.

Zongzheng Mingzhen, who was always smart in the carriage, thought about it, and seeing the cattails staring at the food box, he said: "There is food in the palace, I still..."

Before she finished speaking, Mei Xin took out a cup of chicken soup from the bottom of the food box, put it directly in front of him, and then took out a white porcelain spoon and put it in his hand, saying: "As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you and I don't have to do this You're welcome. Besides, I've already had breakfast, and I won't be able to eat so much even if I come out of the palace in a while and I'm hungry. Yunluo has already gone to get the pastry, so you can eat it at ease. My girl is also worried that I will vomit, let me You are laughing."

Knowing that she was rude, Cattail hurriedly changed from sitting to kneeling and kowtowed, saying: "Princess, please calm down, Lord Hou forgive me, this servant knows I was wrong!"

"There is nothing wrong with your love for the Lord, but I have caused you trouble." While speaking, she looked at Mei Xin, and Mei Xin said lightly: "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while. Cattail, sit down." .”

Cattail took the lead and sat down, lowered her eyebrows and picked up the needle and thread prepared in advance and began to make a bellyband for Mei Wanzhi's child.Originally, she took it in the car to pass the time, but now it is just used to pass the embarrassment, and it also saves her eyes from having nowhere to rest, and it is not appropriate to look anywhere.

Smiling without saying a word, Zongzheng Mingzhen picked up the white porcelain spoon, then took a spoonful of the soup slowly, smelled it, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and said: "It's been a long time since I drank the bamboo shoot chicken soup. The craftsmanship is very good, and the taste is also delicious." Very fresh, like the way in the south."

I didn't expect his tongue to be so poisonous, one sip of the soup could tell that it was Nan Bian's recipe, Mei Xin blurted out in surprise, "How do you know?"

Hearing the sound, Zongzheng Mingzhen said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Influenced by my mother, I love food and food. Therefore, I have eaten in the imperial dining room in the palace and famous restaurants in the capital. I eat a lot. You can taste it naturally. But, you grew up in Liangzhou, how could you like to eat southern dishes?"

Most of Huaiyang cuisine is braised and stewed, and the taste is also moderately sweet and fresh. The most important thing is that it is light and peaceful, which is completely different from Liangzhou cuisine.

In her previous life, Mei Xin didn't like it, but because of her child, she ate too much of Mrs. Li's food, and her taste gradually changed.After being reborn, she still misses it a little, and now that she is pregnant, she should not eat too strong food, so she wanted to find Mrs. Li.

To be honest, Mei Xin said: "I didn't like it before, but my taste changed after I got pregnant. My cook is good at stewing soup. My godmother wanted me to make more soup, so I specially asked her to come here. She can not only cook The dishes of a certain place, Liangzhou cuisine and Beijing cuisine can also be cooked, and the taste is quite authentic. These small steamed buns and steamed buns are all made by her. They are soft and fluffy, which is different from the ones sold outside. Try it.”

Thinking that he is the queen's younger brother and a celebrity in front of the imperial court, so let's make friends if they can.In the current situation, one more friend is better than one more enemy.

Seeing her look the same as yesterday when she was talking to Kou Zhenhai, Zongzheng Mingzhen readily agreed.First he took a steamed bun and tasted it, and then ate gold and silver steamed buns one by one. The taste was really different from the ones he had eaten before, and he praised without hesitation: "I am really lucky today. Yin Mantou, if you know how delicious it is, you will definitely blame me for not keeping it for her."

Undoubtedly this is an excuse, an excuse to get closer.

Putting other things aside, Mei Xin likes Bai Yulan's personality very much, and thinks that she is a carefree person who is easy to get along with: "What's so difficult about it, after I pick up my second sister back home, let Sister-in-law Li do more. Send the two cages to Auntie. If Auntie eats something delicious, I will ask Sister-in-law Li Fangzi, if she is willing, I will send Fangzi to Auntie."

Because it is a craft handed down from Mrs. Li's family, if there is a recipe, it still needs to be done by hand. Kneading the dough is mainly a technical job.Therefore, Mei Xin was not worried at all that Sister Li would be unwilling.

It was an excuse to think of her being so enthusiastic, Zongzheng Mingzhen bowed his hands and said: "Then I will thank my mother here first."

After waving her hands to signal no need, Mei Xin went on to say: "The chicken soup is getting cold, you can eat it quickly, we'll talk about it after we're done."

I heard that their family is an imperial merchant, and the business is very big, Mei Xin wants to ask him for advice.

He nodded and promised Zongzheng Mingzhen to follow his words, but who knew that the carriage had already stopped at the gate of the palace when he finished his meal.Because everyone enters the palace at this time, there are many people at the gate of the palace, many cars and sedan chairs.
