Chapter 286 The White woman said the past
The chicken and big bones were stewed in the pot, and Molan mixed the juice again. More of this at a time, which one less at a time.
Molan debugged it again and again. At this moment, there were more than 20 unsatisfactory dishes in front of her. Xia Yu and the white woman's mouths were twitching. She said to herself, "What on earth do, young lady want to do?" With so many dishes, it won't be time for them to eat them all!
The cut vegetables are gone, and Molan has cut another pile. Continue to be busy and experimenting.
After putting water, soy sauce, aged vinegar, rock sugar, red oil, salt, sweet pepper rings, minced garlic, cooked sesame seeds, and vegetables, Molan tasted it. Well, it tastes a little. It's a bit similar, but it's not enough. But it still smells.
After Molan waited for the soup next to her to cool down, she added the soup again to make the sauce. Not to mention that it tastes much more delicious. I have tried Molan's chicken soup and big bone soup. They all taste good, but there is still something missing. Molan always felt that it was not enough, but she couldn't say anything for a while.
"Miss. The dishes are cold. You can take a bite and cook it after eating. Xia Yu came forward to persuade Molan. The food delivered from the big kitchen has been cold for a long time.
"Good." Mo Lan answered. Anyway, for a while, she couldn't remember. She asked Xia Yu and Bai to eat with her. Neither of them dared, and Molan was not forcing. She took a plate and gave half of her food to the two of them.
The two of them looked at Molan's behavior and were moved. The food was not important, but Molan's feelings for them. This kind of heart touches them more than giving them money, because they are eager for the care of their relatives and to be valued.
After waiting for Molan to finish eating, they handed Molan a fruit plate. When Molan ate the fruit, they sat aside and ate at Molan's insistence.
Molan took a bite of the apple. I don't know if there are predecessors who have traveled through time and space, tomatoes. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were originally the things of Fanbang. Normally, they should not be available in this era, but now they are available. In addition, there are many fruits, such as watermelons, apples, pears, peaches, grapes, etc., but they are all seasonal melons and fruits. There is no special anti-season.
Not to mention that this apple is really good. It's crispy and sweet, and it has a lot of juice. It's a pity that I can't make apple cider vinegar. Why don't you make some fruit vinegar? Thinking of apple cider vinegar, Molan suddenly flashed in her mind. Would it be good to add some apple juice or pear juice to the juice?
Molan is an activist. Thinking of doing it, she ran to the board again. There is no juicer here, and it's an experiment. Let's use a stupid method first.
She cut the apple into small pieces, put it in a bowl, and pounded it into juice. She also made the pears into juice in this way.
She put apple juice, while she put pear juice. Tasted separately. Not to mention that it tastes really good, she prefers the taste of pears to the two dishes.
She brought two plates of juice and vegetables to the white woman and Xia Yu.
"Mom. Xia Yu, can you help me taste it? How do these two dishes taste? Molan said to the two with a smile.
The two of them are actually full, but let them taste the dishes cooked by the young lady. They have to try anyway.
Each of them picked up a chopstick to eat. I ate a few bites on each plate and looked at Molan's expression. Mrs. Bai opened her mouth first and said, "Miss, old slave, to be honest, the first bite of this dish in my mouth, the old slave is not used to it, and it tastes different from the previous dish. However, after the second bite, Lao Nu thought it was good. After the third bite, he thought it was very good. It tasted salty, sweet, spicy and fresh. It tastes cool and refreshing, which makes people want to eat more and more.
After listening to Mrs. Bai's words, Xia Yu also nodded hurriedly and said, "Miss, what Bai's mother said was what the maidservant thought. The first maidservant was not used to it, but now she thinks it's delicious. Also, miss, don't laugh at the maidservant. What's the difference between these two dishes? Xia Yu lowered his head after saying that. Obviously, he felt embarrassed that he didn't taste it.
Molan smiled and looked at Mrs. Bai again. Mrs. Bai lowered her head and pondered before saying, "Miss, I think this plate is more mellow, and this plate is sweeter. But the taste is not obvious. I don't know if what Lao Nu said is right.
Molan nodded. Mrs. Bai said that the sweeter one is pear juice. The other plate was apple juice, but I didn't expect the white woman's taste to be quite sensitive.
"Mom Bai, Xia Yu, do you think diners may like to eat such dishes if they are sold?" Molan asked what the two of them thought.
Mrs. Bai pondered, and then raised her eyes to Molan and said, "Miss, I think that if I were in a restaurant, it would be popular, and many people would like it. But this dish is too simple. I'm afraid I can't stand the scene. I don't know what the young lady's plan is?
Mo Lan looked at the two of them. She did not answer Mrs. Bai's words, but sat down, looked at them seriously, and whispered, "Mom Bai, Xia Yu, although your deed of sale is in my hand, you are nominally my people, but this is Hou's house. My grandmother and I can't stay here for Shangchang, you have also been to my house, and you know that there is no comparison between my family and the Hou family, one in the sky and the other. So I want to ask you, when we go back, what are your plans?
After listening to Molan's words, the white woman took a serious look at Molan, as if she wanted to see through Molan's heart. Then she knelt down on her knees and said, "The old slave is willing to go back with the old aunt and the young lady."
Xia Yu also knelt down and said, "I am also willing to follow the young lady."
Molan didn't call immediately. She murmured and said, "Mom Bai, Xia Yu, I didn't force you to ask this. I want to know your true feelings. With the friendship of escorting along the way, I won't embarrass you. If you want to stay, you can stay in the Orchid Courtyard, or you can go where you want to go. I can talk to the marquis and his wife.
Mrs. Bai kowtowed her head, looked up at Mo Lan and said seriously, "Thank you for your heart, but the old slave said that it was sincere to be willing to be with the young lady. I hope you can do it. Miss, please rest assured that the old slave turned out to be from Lanyuan. I won't turn my back on my aunt and young lady.
Molan was shocked when she heard her words. Is this white woman originally from Lanyuan? Why don't you know? What's the secret here? Mrs. Bai should know all this. I have to ask myself clearly.
Molan reached out to help the two, let them sit down, and then asked about the situation.
Mrs. Bai half sat on the stool, her eyes became deep, and she whispered to Molan: "The old slave remembers that the Lanyuan was built in the third year of the construction of the Hou Mansion, because the old lady really missed the old aunt too much. After discussing with the second master, she built the Lanyuan. Almost everything in the courtyard was Of. Not only did she stare at the arrangement of the old aunt's main house, but also a few partial wives, always thinking that one day the old aunt could come back with her descendants and live comfortably.
The lady personally selected four big maids, four little maids, eight rough maids, one customan, four second-class ladies, and six rough maids entered the Lanyuan and took care of everything in the Lanyuan, because the imperial lady came to the Lanyuan every day, and the Lanyuan except for the Madam, marquis, marquis, second master, no one else is allowed to enter, and the food and clothing of the people in the Lanyuan are also good. Everything is like Mrs. Hou, so there are a lot of people in the house.
Hearing what Mrs. Bai said, Molan's eyes flashed. Sure enough, the yard was indeed built by the lady. It seemed that she guessed correctly, but the Lan courtyard was hated by many people.
She thought about it in her heart, but did not interrupt. She continued to listen to Mrs. Bai say, "Later, the old lady was old and fell ill in bed. Everything in the house was in charge of Mrs. Hou. Everything in the Lanyuan is much worse than before. The old lady has a heart but is powerless to control it. She can't go to the Lanyuan. The people below are disobey and no longer act according to what she wants. And these people in the Lanyuan all miss the kindness of the lady and don't want to disturb her with these little things. However, before the death of the old lady, she once told the marquis that Lanyuan did not give anyone except the old aunt. If one day she learned that the old aunt was gone, then the Lanyuan would be sealed. In addition."
Mrs. Bai said that she stopped here. Mo Lan looked at her and said with a smile, "Mom Bai, if it's hard to say something, it's okay not to say it. Don't be embarrassed."
The cold light flashed in the white woman's eyes and said, "There is nothing to say in front of the young lady. Although the old slave was only a second-class woman at that time, she also knew that there was a warehouse behind the Lanyuan, which was the dowry left by the lady to the old aunt.
The marquis and the second master will also add one to it every year, which is their feelings for their aunt. Before the death of the old lady, she had ordered that if she found the aunt, the dowry in the warehouse would all belong to the aunt, and the aunt would distribute it independently. No one could move except the aunt, and no one could think about the dowry. If someone moved the things inside, she hoped that the marquis would be severely punished, and the marquis swore in front of the lady's bed. Therefore, the house is jealous, but no one dares to touch the things in the warehouse behind the Lanyuan.
The old lady has also explained that if the old aunt is not there, then this thing will be divided into three parts. If the old aunt has descendants, the descendants will get one, the marquis will have one, and the second master will have one. Just because the lady confessed like this, many people in the house are unwilling to find an aunt, and they don't want to find an aunt. In this way, one day they can get those things. Of course, except for the marquis and the second master, the old slave has seen it clearly over the years that the marquis and the second master still have a lot of affection for the old aunt. They have also been looking for their aunt. This is really a lady in heaven. Finally, the marquis found an aunt, and the lady can rest in peace.
