The Daughter of the General's Gate: The Genius Little Meng Fei

Chapter 37
Ever since he ate the dim sum made by Xiao Ion by chance, Li Kun actually asked Eunuch Lin about it, but he didn't expect Xiao Ion to be an orphan without father and mother. The origin, which also made him give up the idea of ​​recommending Xiao Ion to enter the imperial dining room. After all, it is impossible for a person with unknown origin to come into contact with the emperor's meal.

"Here, freshly baked chrysanthemum pancakes." Xiao ion came out holding a plate of golden-yellow shortbread made of five petals.

Li Kun quickly picked up one. The pancake was a bit small, like a sunflower in full bloom. He bit a piece lightly, and immediately the fragrance of chrysanthemum filled his mouth.

"How is this made? It's so delicious." Li Kun couldn't help but be full of praise.

Xiao Ion introduced it in a straightforward manner: "Here, first dry the chrysanthemum, then grind it into powder, mix it into the flour, add some ghee, and knead it into a dough. The filling is made of fresh chrysanthemum petals, mixed with a little honey, Wrap it in the middle, put five dumplings together, make it into the shape of a flower, brush the outside with oil and dry it.”

"It's so fragrant. I usually don't like sweets, but I can't stop eating this. A Li, you are so good." Now that the two are familiar with each other, Li Kun doesn't call her Xiao Ion, but her original name is A Li. , but he didn't know that A Li was not her name.

"It's delicious." Xiaoion said triumphantly. You must know that her beautiful master is very meticulous. Whether it is dressing, eating, housing, and transportation, they are all first-class and exquisite. It's a lot, but she is very talented in eating.

"Is there any more? I'll pack a few and give my brother a taste. It's really delicious." Li Kun said while eating.

"Of course there is." Xiaoion replied, "What are you talking about, your brother, you still have brother, aren't you the biggest?" She suddenly reacted, her heart beating like thunder.

"Yes, I'm the eldest in the family, but I'm talking about my cousin, who is now the grandson of the emperor." Li Kun didn't see anything wrong with Xiaoion, and continued: "He treats me very well on weekdays, such delicious food I can't bear to enjoy things alone, I must let him taste it."

"That's good, but this shortbread tastes good only when it's hot. I'll go get the one that's hot in the oven, and you can send it over quickly. Also, when the time comes, serve it with a pot of chrysanthemum honey tea, and go immediately." It is greasy, and it can nourish the lungs and relieve autumn dryness, it is an excellent match." While suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiaoion hurried into the kitchen to pack the chrysanthemum shortbread.

Wrap it with pastry paper, add a piece of greased paper on the outside, put it into a delicate pastry basket, cover it, and Xiao Ion carefully takes it out and hands it to Li Kun.

"A Li, you are so careful, you make the dim sum so beautiful like a girl." Li Kun couldn't help but say something.

Xiao Ion blushed: "Who said that? Isn't it because he thinks that the grandson of the emperor has a noble status, and he is afraid that he will look down on this simple rough food."

It made sense for Li Kun to think about it, and left with the food box, leaving only Xiao Ion sitting alone at the door of the kitchen, dumbfounded and laughing, watching Eunuch Lin passing by very surprised, worried that she had suffered from some kind of dementia.

"Ah Li, it's already midnight, if you don't rest anymore, if you don't have the energy to work tomorrow, be careful that the fat man will beat you up." Eunuch Lin couldn't help calling out to her.

Only then did Xiaoion come back to his senses, and reluctantly entered the room.

The next day, at the intersection of the small path, Xiaoion waited eagerly, stretching his neck to look desperately.

"Xiao Ion, where did you die, come over and light the fire for my old lady." The fat cook's loud voice scared the kitchen to jump, and Xiao Ion's heart trembled twice when he heard the thunderous voice.

"Hey, here we come, here we come." She entered the kitchen helplessly. Luckily, the weather is getting colder in late autumn. It's not a sad thing to light a fire. It's much more comfortable than burning a fire in summer. .

While she was lighting the fire, she was fascinated by the light of the fire: "Hey, can he eat the chrysanthemum cake? Does he like it? Does he like sweet or salty food? Maybe I should use dried vegetables and meat as stuffing better." She mechanically stuffed the firewood into the stove.

The fire was blazing and getting hotter and hotter. The fat cook was frying fish. She watched the golden fish sizzling in the pot, and felt very relieved. Yes, adding some chopped green onions would make it out of the pot. She turned around, He took a handful of onions and chopped them up.

She was cutting onions in her hand, and suddenly smelled a burnt smell. She looked around, "What smell, what is burnt?" The stove next to it was boiling, and there was nothing unusual. pot.

"Xiao Ion, you bastard, what are you doing with the fire so hot, the fish has turned into black charcoal!" There was a loud thunder, and the fat cook grabbed Xiao Ion's ear angrily, "Come here, take a look for yourself, take a good bite!" Fish, it will be out of the pan immediately, you turned it into black charcoal, you eat it for me, eat it up, it is your lunch today, and you are not allowed to eat anything else!"

"Ah, it hurts so much, auntie, let me go, I didn't mean to." Xiaoion's ears were almost pulled out, tears almost fell from the pain.

Next, Xiaoion was holding a plate and squatting at the door of the kitchen. One side of the fish was completely black, and the other side had a little golden tender meat. She took the chopsticks and started a battle between heaven and man: "Eat, don't eat, eat , do not eat."

While counting, she stared at the intersection, hoping that Li Kun would suddenly appear and come to save her life.

"What kind of tree with a long neck, give it to me quickly, if you don't eat it, don't move here today." The fat cook came out majestically, and stood in front of Xiaoion with her hands on her hips, blocking her view like a mountain .

She thought to herself, hmph, after all, Eunuch Lin was away on business today. It would be strange if he didn't clean up this little devil. Don't think that she doesn't know what this little devil is up to. Every morning when you wake up, you will find that there are a lot less materials in the kitchen. , he must have stolen something.

This little ion usually has the backing of Eunuch Lin and the Second Emperor's grandson, so he doesn't pay attention to her, and let him have a taste today.

Xiao Ion painfully picked up a piece of charred fish meat with chopsticks, and put it into her mouth, the disgusting taste made her feel nauseous.

"Don't spit it out, I'll stuff it back for you when you spit it out." The words frightened Xiao Ion to swallow the smelly fish with all his might.

"Eat, give it to me, eat quickly." The fat cook soared high-pitched, surrounded by a group of spectators.

Xiao Ion really wanted to show his martial arts and beat them all to pieces, but he thought of the purpose of his hard work, how Li Yan prayed in the temple, and how he had been suffering for so many years. Looking for it, what is it for her to suffer so much.
