Chapter 6 The little girl cried
This meat bun is from a family that Xue Lei went out to look for in the afternoon while the little girl was sleeping.
Seeing the long queue, it must be delicious, so Xue Lei joined the queue. When he arrived, he ordered one and tasted it. He felt that the taste was light and not greasy. Then he ordered two more, wrapped them in oil paper, stuffed them in his arms and ran all the way back to the prefect's Yamen.
Halfway through the run, I saw a shop selling candied fruits, so I went in and picked out a few that looked good and bought them back.
When we returned to the cross-yard, the little girl hadn't woken up yet, but she had almost slept. Doctor Song said that she could wake her up and it wouldn't be too late to go back to sleep after eating.
But how could the Xue family father and son be willing to wake up the little girl who was sleeping peacefully? In the end, Xue Lei came up with the idea of taking out the meat buns in his arms, breaking them open on purpose, and dangling them in front of the little girl's nose.
Seeing that Long Er really woke up, General Xue began to feel distressed again, and slapped his son on the back of the head, "You bastard, why are you coveting your sister, and... why don't you hurry up and give it to her!"
Xue Lei was slapped again for no reason, but he was used to it. The brothers had all experienced what it means to have a father's love like a mountain - a landslide.
After calling for someone to come over and bring water for the little girl to rinse her mouth and wipe her face and hands, Xue Lei took out another hot meat bun, put it on the oil paper with a soft cloth and delivered it to her hand.
"Uncle eats, brother eats."
The Xue family father and son waved their hands quickly, but in the end they couldn't resist, and each of them ate half of the bun that had just tempted the little girl to wake up.
The little girl lowered her head and took a bite of the bun in her hand.
The buns are white and soft. Long'er was young and his mouth was naturally small, so he didn't bite into the stuffing inside.
But the little girl raised her head in surprise and looked at the faces of the Xue family and his son, whose faces were full of surprise at the delicious food, "It's delicious!"
The Xue family father and son looked at the bitten piece of dough, and felt as if their hearts had been severely grabbed, and they managed to squeeze out a smile.
Just a simple bite of white noodles could make Long Er so surprised and happy. Xue Lei couldn't stay any longer. He strode out and took a few breaths to calm down.
If he could, he really wanted to rush to the prison right now and beat up Ji Zhong, a bastard with a human face and a beast's heart that was worse than a pig.
But he would never beat someone to death. If he let the other person die so easily, that would be an advantage to the other person!
General Xue watched his son go out and heard him breathing heavily in a low voice outside, and felt the same in his heart.
However, he is much more mature than his son, and he has many different ways of killing people in his mind.
At this time, Long Er was already holding the adult man's fist-sized meat bun and eating the filling part.
The taste of meat buns was beyond the little girl's imagination. In her previous life, whether it was the bowl of delicious rice porridge at noon or the current meat buns, she had never eaten anything before.
The meat buns tasted weird and completely different from anything she had eaten before. She had a puzzled expression on her face and let out a light sigh.
Why is this thing so delicious?
"Long'er? What's wrong?" General Xue couldn't help but asked softly when he saw that the little girl stopped chewing and looked at the meat bun in his hand with a pair of big eyes. "Are the meat buns not delicious? Can uncle get you something else?"
Xue Lei outside the door also heard this and couldn't help but poke his head in, feeling a little uneasy.
Does your sister not like the meat buns here?
snort! The taste of this meat bun is really average.
Maybe, my sister should prefer red bean paste buns?
The red beans are boiled, crushed, peeled and turned into sand, then seasoned with some osmanthus honey, and finally wrapped in the dough to make red bean paste buns. They are soft, glutinous and sweet, and are worthy of eating by my sister.
Alas, the food in Anping Mansion is still too little, not even candied haws!
Just when Xue Lei sighed, he heard the soft voice of the little girl coming from the room.
"No, the meat buns are delicious. But..." the little girl looked up at General Xue, "Long'er has never tasted this taste."
General Xue's heart moved, "Has Long'er never eaten meat before?"
"What is meat?"
"What's inside this bag is meat."
"This is meat, Long'er likes it!" the little girl said happily.
"From now on, eat it every day, okay?"
"Yeah." The little girl took another bite.
Although this bun is not big, it is enough for a three or four-year-old child to eat half full.
What's more, the little girl often goes hungry after a full meal, so her appetite should be even smaller.
Mrs. Xie came a little late. She heard that Long Er was eating the meat buns bought by Xue Lei, so she quickly cooked a bowl of wontons herself. But when they were cooked, Long Er just finished the whole meat buns.
Mrs. Xie was very disappointed, but she didn't dare to let the little girl eat more, for fear that she would be full and hesitate at the door holding the wontons.
"Auntie." Long Er twitched his nose and looked up to see Mrs. Xie standing at the door. She was very fond of Mrs. Xie, the aunt who cooked delicious porridge for her at noon.
Mrs. Xie responded, very surprised and pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that when a bowl of porridge was hurriedly delivered to her at noon, the little girl would actually remember her and call her aunt?
How should I put this feeling? It's a bit flattering.
"Thank you, madam." General Xue greeted, and Xue Lei also came up to greet him.
"Lei'er doesn't need to be polite." Mrs. Xie said, putting the bowl of wontons on the table. "I made some food for Long'er. I don't know if he can still eat it."
General Xue looked back and saw that the little girl was eager to try.
Speaking of which, she was able to discover Mrs. Xie because she smelled the fragrance first?
Seeing the little girl's face full of wanting to eat, General Xue felt distressed and amused, so he had to pick up the wontons and asked, "Long'er, want some more?"
The little girl looked full of hope, "Then, eat some?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing and almost laughed out loud.
The small wontons are only about the size of a little finger. Even a little girl like Long Er can eat one in one bite.
Gently stirring the wonton's light soup, a scent came out, and Xue Lei beside him couldn't help but wiggle his nose.
"Lei'er, do you want to eat? There are still some in the kitchen. I've made a lot of them." Mrs. Xie said quickly.
"Thank you, aunt!" Xue Lei was so happy that he ran to the kitchen and asked someone to serve him a large bowl without leaving any servants.
Mrs. Xie grew up in the capital, and the meals she occasionally cooks are all from the capital, which is exactly what Xue Lei likes.
Xue Lei also came back with a big bowl. One brother and sister sat at the table and the other sat on the bed. They looked at each other and smiled, and started eating!
General Xue fed a warmed wonton to the little girl. Inside the thin skin was delicious meat filling.
The little girl's face was full of surprise and surprise.
They are all meat, but the taste is completely different!
They are all delicious!
But as she ate, the little girl's tears fell.
