LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 40 Miss Cousin
Ning stood up and said, "Mom, can my sister and Long Baoer have dinner here at noon? I'll go give them some instructions first."
"Well, you go ahead." Mrs. Chang said with a smile.
When Mrs. Ning came out, she glanced back and saw the little girl eating snacks one bite at a time.
After pulling out the curtain, he nodded and called to the maid next to him, "Go and make a bowl of rose water for my cousin."
"Yes." The eldest maid was stunned for a moment, then bowed and responded.
The dim sum made by Zhenyuan Bofu is very clever.
The pink plum blossom shape uses fresh petals picked when the flowers bloom, which are pickled and stored with sugar and honey. When there is no fresh fruit to eat in the cold winter months, you can take it out and sweeten it to avoid having a tasteless taste in your mouth.
It's white, with a crispy exterior and a red dot in the middle. The inside is stuffed with jujube paste, which is also made when the jujubes fall.
It had just come out of the pot, it was hot, and the taste of the jujube paste was particularly sweet.
In addition, there is a filling of crushed peanuts and sugar, and a plate of rice popcorn candy stuck together with honey. It is cut into long and thin strips while it is hot, and becomes crispy when cold.
Although Mrs. Xie also brought some snacks to Long Baoer, the snacks in Xiaochengchi are not as good as the ones made by a wealthy family like Zhenyuan Mansion.
What's more, this is freshly cooked and hot.
Although Long Baoer's mouth was not big, he ate very quickly. After finishing a piece of jujube paste snack, he couldn't help but pick up another piece of fresh flowers.
"Eat slowly, there's still plenty."
Soon Ning's maid came in and presented a bowl of rose water.
Chang Chun stroked his hands, "My sister-in-law is thoughtful, I'm afraid Long Bao'er won't be used to drinking tea."
"It is not suitable for such a young child to drink tea. This rose water is the best." Mrs. Chang was also very satisfied. "Your sister-in-law is like this. She is quiet but gets things done."
"Yes, yes, mother, you are the most discerning, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to let my sister-in-law, the housekeeper, take charge of the middle feed early."
Long Baoer was eating when the curtain outside was lifted and a maid came in to report, "Old madam, Miss Yingying is here."
Mrs. Chang's expression froze and her smile faded a bit.
The main reason is that Cao Yingying is really unlovable, no matter in appearance or temperament.
In fact, this child was not willing to come to greet her, but he was urged to come here by Mrs. Cao, the second wife of Chang.
Perhaps Mrs. Cao just felt that Yingying and Long Baoer were both cousins of the Chang family, and they had the same status, but Yingying grew up in the Chang family, so the old lady should love her more, so she hurriedly asked people to come over. .
Sure enough, after entering the door, Cao Yingying knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Chang, "Hello, Mrs. Chang."
"Hey, you are so disrespectful, why are you kowtowing?" Chang Chun was stunned. "Hurry up and help my cousin up."
The maids around quickly helped Cao Yingying up.
After Cao Yingying got up, she looked towards the small table. After seeing several plates of snacks on the table, she swallowed with a gulp.
Chang Chun obviously saw it too.
Although she never got along with her petty second sister-in-law, she would not make it difficult for a child. Immediately, he waved for Cao Yingying to come over.
Cao Yingying grew up with Mrs. Cao, the second wife of Chang, and also called Chang Chun Aunt along with the Chang brothers. At this time, she called Aunt and rushed to the Arhat's couch impatiently.
The Luohan couch was a little high, so Cao Yingying climbed up on her hands and feet and sat down next to Long Bao'er. She directly dragged the snack in front of Long Bao'er in front of her, reached out and grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
Madam Chang and Chang Chun's eyes twitched, and they simply couldn't see.
This Cao family really doesn't know how to teach children. Cao Yingying is not as well-behaved as the children from ordinary people's families.
Mrs. Chang usually doesn't like to see this child, so she doesn't see him often. After all, this is not their Chang family's child, so there is no need to be too strict.
Now it seems that she can no longer let it go.
But today is Long Bao'er's first time here, so he shouldn't be too harsh, so as not to scare Long Bao'er.
It was also the first time for Chang Chun to see Yingying like this. Seeing the whole plate of dim sum in front of Long Baoer being dragged away, Chang Chun raised his eyebrows and pushed another plate of dim sum in front of Long Baoer.
"Long Baoer, try this."
It was a plate of small twists.
Each small twist is only as long as a finger, fried golden and crispy, with a thin layer of syrup on the surface, coated with sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, and preserved fruit. There is also a kind with golden filaments on it.
Long Baoer curiously picked up one, picked up a little golden filament on it and put it into his mouth.
There was a hint of saltiness, and the smell of meat that she was familiar with recently.
Take another bite, sweet and crispy.
"Auntie, this is delicious!"
"Well, try each one. The taste is different." Chang Chun's eyes widened with laughter.
These small twists are unique to the Zhenyuan uncle's house. They were specially ordered by her mother. She also loved to eat these when she was a child.
"Chun'er, don't let Long Baoer eat too many snacks." Mrs. Chang warned in a low voice, "so as not to delay lunch."
Mrs. Chang really liked Long Baoer when she saw her. It's hard to describe this feeling.
At first, she heard someone sent by the Xue family briefly explain Long Baoer's life experience, and she could not help but feel sorry for such a miserable little girl.
Moreover, it is also because of his daughter.
Since Chang Chun regards Long Bao'er as her own, she naturally also sincerely regards Long Bao'er as her granddaughter.
But when we really got along, we found that although the little girl was thin, her eyes were bright and beautiful.
He even stretched out his little hand to hug her chest, telling her not to be angry. He looked up at her and said with trust that she was a good person.
Long Baoer's eyes were dark and bright, and one could see at a glance that he was frank from the bottom of his heart. Those words were obviously not taught by others, but were spoken from within.
What's more, her daughter has been careless since she was a child, and she never expected to teach Long Baoer to say these words.
In this way, Long Baoer left an excellent impression on the old lady at the first meeting, and she began to accept the little girl from the bottom of her heart.
Come on, there is no girl in the younger generation, so this is the granddaughter of her Chang family.
Look, after all, she is her granddaughter, she is better than others.
They are all eating, and Long Baoer eats seriously, which makes people feel extremely cute.
Look at Yingying next to her, holding the snacks and stuffing them into her mouth. The rice cake-like snacks are so dry that they can hardly be manipulated in her mouth.
The old lady felt her eyes hurt a little, so she quickly turned her head and asked the maid to prepare some water for Yingying.
Next to him, Chang Chun listened to the old lady's words and shook his head with a smile, "Mom, just watch, Long Baoer's appetite will surprise you."
Chang Chun whispered a few words in the old lady's ear, and the old lady was a little shocked.
"Really?"
