Qiao Yuyan did as she was told and tasted two of them. They were the same ones she had eaten since she was a child. The skin was thin, the filling was fragrant, and it was warm and soft. When it fell into her mouth, she thought of her leisure time in Jiangzhou.
This is a custom in Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou, which is located in the south, does not eat dumplings and eats less during interviews, but various rice-based delicacies emerge in endlessly.
This rice cake is one of them, and every household makes it during every year and festival, but it is troublesome to make.
Except for Jiangzhou, there are no other places.
Qiao Yuyan always ate rice cakes when she was a child, and her favorite food was rice cakes during the Tomb Sweeping Day. Because this day is different, the rice cakes are not only made into the usual dumpling shape, but also specially made without fillings.
style.
Knead them into various gadgets and provide them to the ancestors.
The offerings in Jiangzhou can also be eaten after they are made.
How could you be willing to eat such a cute little thing?
The small things made by her grandmother were the most exquisite and lifelike. Every time Qiao Yuyan took them out to see her friends, they would be overshadowed by them, and she would always be extremely proud of them.
These were things that happened many, many years ago, but I didn’t expect that we can still see them now.
There are really some unspeakable surging emotions in my heart.
Mrs. Wen on the side probably sensed her mood, so she deliberately joked: "This is terrible. Your sixth wife looks like she can't taste it. If she doesn't say hello, even I will be embarrassed."
Put down your chopsticks, otherwise it will appear that I am too eager to be a guest."
These words brought Qiao Yuyan out of her thoughts, and she quickly said with a smile: "Look at me! It's true that the fourth sister-in-law is still making fun of this, and why not treat your fourth wife to a meal quickly."
Qiao Yuyan smiled and picked up the rice cakes on the steamer for Wen, and told her one by one the different delicacies of the rice cakes with various fillings.
Wenshi ate it for the first time and was really full of praise.
Anyway, there were no outsiders here, so Qiao Yuyan asked a table to be set up in the next room so that everyone else could have a taste, and specially pulled Grandma Wang to sit on her table.
"Fourth sister-in-law is not an outsider. I know that you have watched me grow up. Although I call you wet nurse, you are actually not much different from my biological mother. She has always taken care of me. This rule is occasionally broken.
It doesn’t matter if it’s broken.”
Normally, Nanny Wang wouldn't think anything of it. When she talked about Qiao Yuyan in private, she often didn't care about her status. She also knew that her own girl respected her, so she was fearless.
But now that the fourth wife is here, Grandma Wang has her own worries, fearing that her inappropriate words and deeds will bring contempt to Qiao Yuyan.
Wenshi hurriedly responded, "It's just that, mama, you have never been to my yard. The door is always closed on weekdays. After closing the door, those around me don't treat me as their master. Everyone.
We eat at one table and drink tea at the other, but we don’t want to be too messy outside.”
After hearing what she said, Grandma Wang felt relieved and raised her glass again, "The fourth wife is a kind-hearted person and has always taken care of our wife. I know this in my heart, but with my status as an old slave, it is not easy to go and talk to her.
Fourth wife, what did you say, but I am grateful in my heart.
Now that we no longer follow the rules, this old slave doesn't care about his face and relies on our wife's influence to offer tea instead of wine to toast you, the fourth wife. Our wife doesn't have many friends in this house.
In the relationship between these sisters-in-law, only the fourth wife still has our wife in her heart. From now on, I will ask the fourth wife to take care of my wife. In fact, she is still a child after all, and she is also very impulsive in doing things.
"
Qiao Yuyan's eyes filled with tears as she listened. She watched the two of them drink tea and hurriedly persuaded them both to eat more.
Maybe everyone was happy, or maybe the New Year atmosphere finally got up, but all the rice cakes in the two steamer drawers were completely eaten.
Qiao Yuyan said that instead of asking the people over there to come and serve her, everyone should just sit down and rest for a while.
Although Tao Ranxuan always had a harmonious atmosphere, this was the first time he felt relaxed like this.
Qiao Yuyan sat down to drink tea with Mrs. Wen, and refilled a cup for Grandma Wang herself, "Does Grandma know everything?"
Grandma Wang was stunned for a moment when she heard this. After a while, she finally put down the tea cup. She glanced at Qiao Yuyan helplessly, then nodded, "My wife's heart is clear to me. You know that I've been in a dilemma and can't let it go."
Madam, you are worried about your family, so you made a decision for me."
Qiao Yuyan gently leaned on her shoulder, "Mommy, you have been taking care of me for fifteen years. For so many years, you have been with me every New Year, but there are many people in your family who are with me every year.
During the Chinese New Year, I look forward to having you here!
I heard that Brother Wang's daughter-in-law is pregnant again. How many grandchildren will you have after they are born? So many people are going to call you grandma. If you don't go back quickly, it won't make sense."
Grandma Wang's eyes were filled with tears, "What will happen to the girl if I leave? The little girl doesn't have a mother in front of her. Although the old lady dotes on her, she is not a mother!"
After finally getting to Beijing, my wife loves someone else. The girl is alone and at a loss. I don’t know who to rely on. If I leave, who will care whether the girl eats well or not?"
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but shed tears. She thought of her ignorance and ignorance in her previous life, and the first thing that filled her heart was guilt. In that life, Grandma Wang was severely ostracized at Qingxitai, and was later framed.
It's a pity that she was so focused on Aunt Pei and Qiao Yuning that she didn't take matters in her yard seriously at all.
I really thought that Grandma Wang had made a mistake. After all, she was grateful that she was his wet nurse and sent her back to her hometown. As for the unjust injustice, she didn't care at all.
Thinking of the way Grandma Wang left in tears at that time, she couldn't help but tighten her hand on Grandma Wang's arm, "Don't worry, Grandma, look at how you and I look like now. There are also caretakers in this yard."
Your care is amazing! Can you still starve me?
If there is anything I am not worried about now, it is that I am worried that my sons will blame you! As long as you always remember to ask Brother Wang to send me a few letters from time to time, I will have nothing wrong with you."
That's it, naturally we can only wait for each other at the back. Grandma Wang has a lot to say, but she doesn't know where to start, so she can only say: "Okay, just look at your face, madam, old slave."
It's better to stew the medicine first."
Mrs. Wen often comes to Tao Ranxuan, so she naturally knows that Qiao Yuyan is most afraid of drinking medicine, and always acts coquettishly in front of Grandma Wang. Now she couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "After saying so many nice things, I still can't escape this bowl of medicine."
.”
Grandma Wang also laughed, and Qiao Yuyan reluctantly let her go out. Who knew that just before she went out, she heard her surprised voice outside, "Master?!"
