Chapter 157 Foodie meets soulmate

Bai Ruozhu envied Mrs. Xie. Although there was an age gap between the two, she could tell that Mr. Xie loved his wife very much. Even Bai Ruozhu herself prefers mature men. However, in her previous life, she was too busy making money and had no chance to have a vigorous relationship. In this life, she became pregnant and had no chance to fall in love, let alone in ancient times.

"The elders in my family have passed away one after another. I have observed filial piety three times, so I didn't get married until I was twenty-nine years old. I feel wronged that a beautiful woman like my wife should marry an old scholar like me." Mr. Xie said it calmly and generously, and it seemed that he didn't Don't mind this.

Bai Zepei added: "Sir, he failed to take part in the imperial examination because of his filial piety. Otherwise, he would have been named on the gold list, and it would not be difficult to become an official."

Mr. Xie waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "There's nothing wrong with me being carefree now. Even if I want to continue to refer to it, it's okay. Maybe I'll go to the examination room with you tomorrow as a teacher."

After saying this, Mr. Xie smiled mockingly to himself. It was rare for him to take the examination with his own students.

The monarch of Danliang State advocated filial piety, and there was a saying of observing great filial piety after the death of a close relative, that is, you could not get married for three years, you could not take the imperial examination, and in some places, you had to eat vegetarian food and wear hemp clothes for three years.

Mr. Xie has observed filial piety three times, that is, for nine years. This is really not a bad luck. Looking at his figure and face, it seems that he has been a vegetarian for nine years, and he did not marry the young Mrs. Xie until he was in the filial period. I think when he was twenty-nine, Mrs. Madam is about ten years older.

Mrs. Xie's eyes when looking at Mr. Xie were full of tenderness, "You are belittling yourself again. You are old, but you are mature."

Mr. Xie's face turned red all of a sudden. He was probably born with fair skin, and he seemed to be malnourished and pale, so his blush was particularly obvious.

Bai Ruozhu thinks Mrs. Xie is quite interesting. She looks very ladylike, but speaks very straightforwardly, without any pretense.

However, she didn't spend much time chatting with the Xie family. Her main task was in the kitchen. She confessed to the two of them and left.

Unexpectedly, after she had been busy for a while, Mrs. Xie suddenly walked in from outside, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Ruozhu, can I help you?"

Bai Ruozhu was shocked, how could she have the nerve to let guests come into the kitchen to help? Moreover, the kitchen was full of fumes and would stain Mrs. Xie's clothes.

"I'm only two or three years older than you. Don't be so polite to me. My name is Yu Hongxiu. Can you call me Sister Hongxiu?" Mrs. Xie noticed Bai Ruozhu's nervousness and smiled. Bai Ruozhu's sleeves said.

She spoke with a Jiangnan accent, a hint of Wu Nong's soft language, and sounded as if she was coquettishly coquettish for Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu felt that if she were a man, her bones would definitely be tender. How could she not agree? Besides, Mrs. Xie is such a good-natured person.

"Okay, then I will call you Sister Hongxiu, but you are a guest and you really can't do anything, otherwise my second brother will deal with me." Bai Ruozhu hurriedly used his second brother as a shield.

Yu Hongxiu laughed, "Don't be afraid, if he dares to deal with you, I'll ask my husband to deal with him!"

Bai Ruozhu also laughed. No matter what age you are, it's always good to know the top management. Let's see if the second brother dares to flick her head.

But Bai Ruozhu refused to let Yu Hongxiu take action, so in the end he had no choice but to say, "Why don't you just talk to me."

Yu Hongxiu had no choice but to agree. She smiled and said: "Actually, I can only make some snacks, so I can only help you a little bit."

Bai Ruozhu knew that Jiangnan people like to eat snacks, so she couldn't help but become curious and asked: "Sister Hongxiu, your family is from Jiangnan, right? What's your taste, and what kind of snacks do you like?"

"Well, I'm from Jiangnan. I like lighter dishes and sweets. I like a lot of snacks." Yu Hongxiu said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu felt that she had made the right plan today. She pointed to the crabs on the side and said, "There are crabs today. Do you like to eat them? I also stewed rock sugar pears and made a northern snack. It’s called the Golden Thread Oil Tower.”

Yu Hongxiu's eyes widened when she saw the crabs, "That's great. I haven't eaten crabs for a long time. There aren't many people eating crabs here. I didn't expect you to be able to cook crabs."

Bai Ruozhu thought what's so difficult about steaming? Basically no technical content is required, okay?

"I only found out after asking the merchant who sells it. I heard that crab roe is particularly delicious." Bai Ruozhu said and licked her tongue. God knows how greedy she was. Oh, what a pity, what a pity.

"Yeah, it's very delicious, but don't eat it while your baby is breastfeeding. Our hometown is very particular about this, otherwise the baby will get sick easily." Yu Hongxiu kindly reminded.

Bai Ruozhu nodded vigorously, "I heard about it too, thank you, Sister Hongxiu."

The two chatted very passionately. Bai Ruozhu found that Yu Hongxiu was a very sincere person. No wonder Mr. Xie loved her so much. Men would like such a young, beautiful, kind and lovely wife, right?

Bai Ruozhu was cooking, and Yu Hongxiu occasionally handed her the ingredients. Soon Yu Hongxiu praised Bai Ruozhu's cooking skills, saying that it smelled delicious. Bai Ruozhu pointed to a plate of cold dishes next to her, "Why don't you try this first?"

"I'll eat it after it's served. It's so embarrassing to eat it secretly." Yu Hongxiu said this, but her eyes kept glancing at the dishes. I don't know how Bai Ruozhu made the plate of skin jelly, and the color It's translucent and refreshing. Each piece is cut into a diamond shape and arranged in a flower-like shape on the plate. Three or five small chrysanthemums and coriander leaves are dotted in the middle, which suddenly makes the color on the plate come alive.

Yu Hongxiu asked herself that she was not a greedy person, but she was just curious and wanted to taste it.

"We have worked hard in the kitchen, so we should eat secretly." Bai Ruozhu said very confidently, which made Yu Hongxiu laugh again. Before she finished laughing, Bai Ruozhu had already picked up a piece with clean chopsticks and brought it to her mouth. .

The size of the cut pieces was just enough to be swallowed in one bite, and it would not make people look embarrassed if they couldn't finish the food. Yu Hongxiu chewed it carefully, and then didn't bother to wipe the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and raised his eyebrows directly at Bai Ruozhu. Thumbs up.

"Ruozhu, this tastes really good. It's fresh but not greasy. It has a strong meaty aroma and is very refreshing. The meat skin inside is also a bit tough, but not difficult to chew. How did you make this dish?" Yu Hongxiu's face was filled with emotion. The color of surprise.

Bai Ruozhu is a foodie, so she naturally discovered that Yu Hongxiu is also a foodie, and she couldn't help but feel happy. If her family members or other people around her told her about it, most of them would say it was delicious, but they couldn't tell where it was delicious.

So, Bai Ruozhu, as if she had met a close friend, enthusiastically told Yu Hongxiu how to make skin jelly. Yu Hongxiu couldn't help but nodded, but soon she softly called out: "Oh, this plate is missing a piece." Isn't it too obvious?" After saying this, her face turned red, it wasn't because she ate it secretly.
