The Red Mansions

Chapter 19

Jiang Yunxuan.

Jia Baoyu took a candied chestnut from Xiren's hand and ate it. After savoring it for a while, he frowned and said:
"These chestnuts are delicious, but they lack the charm! Brother Rong invited the host the day before yesterday, and the food cooked by Brother Yun is also delicious, but it also lacks the charm. Compared with the buns he made, there is no That charm is like losing the soul..."

Xiren gave him a blank look, and said in a bad mood: "Second master, you have it, these chestnuts were given to me by brother Yun, not for you, and they picked three or four, and felt that they lacked charm. Son, don't eat it!"

Jia Baoyu glanced at her, shook his head in disappointment and said, "So your taste is not as elegant as mine, and you can only swallow jujubes whole. If you can't taste the charm of the food, it will be less interesting."

Xiren was speechless, and Qingwen, who was eating chestnuts with relish, smiled and said: "Okay, you are elegant, we are all vulgar, give me all the chestnuts that I gave you, let me be more vulgar."

Jia Baoyu choked, and quickly put away the chestnuts on the table in front of him, then got up and said, "I won't argue with you, I'll go find Sister Lin, she is the only one who can know me in this world."

Xiren and Qingwen looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Why do you think he was in a daze, eating a chestnut and eating it elegantly!" Qingwen leaned forward and backward with a smile.

Xiren peeled off a chestnut, put it in his mouth, shook his head, turned and looked out the window, and said, "I don't know, we are just ordinary people. I just think this chestnut is really delicious. If you want to say one, two, three, but you don't know what to say, it's really delicious." Unable to speak."

Qingwen nodded again and again, agreeing: "That's the truth, isn't it just to eat something, and there are so many big truths, I am also convinced."

After a while, no one responded, Qingwen looked sideways, only to find that Xiren was staring out the window in a daze, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

Qingwen tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and said in her heart: "Sister Xiren has a lot of thoughts these days, she is always in a daze and giggles from time to time, why is that?"

It's not easy for her to ask too many questions. After asking before, Xiren taught her a lesson.

"Why are people in the family abnormal these few days? Second Master Bao is neurotic all day long, and sister Xiren is the same, but I am a good baby..." Qingwen rolled her eyes with curiosity.

Bisha cabinet.

Lin Daiyu ate chestnuts, looked at Jia Baoyu and frowned and said, "You must be sick. What kind of charm did you tell me about eating chestnuts? I know you're dumb, but you can't do this!"

Jia Baoyu's face flushed with embarrassment, he bit his lips, feeling infinite grievances in his heart.

After a while, he suppressed his emotions and said with great certainty: "Sister Lin, I'm telling the truth, the steamed stuffed bun has a flavor, and other meals don't!"

"Okay, then you should eat steamed stuffed buns more often in the future!" Lin Daiyu gave him a sideways look and said angrily.

Jia Baoyu felt extremely lost, and even his younger sister Lin who knew him very well couldn't taste that charm, which made him feel extremely lonely and lonely.

Subconsciously, he pressed his hand on the jade in front of his chest, tightened it tightly, and was about to throw it away, when he suddenly remembered that this jade was newly made by him, and it cost 500 taels of silver, so he stopped quickly.

"The original one is better, it won't break even if you throw it away!" Jia Baoyu thought, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Glancing at Lin Daiyu and realizing that she was going to ignore her, Jia Baoyu felt lost, got up slowly, and walked out listlessly.

Lin Daiyu glanced at him, sneered, and didn't persuade him, and ate the candied chestnuts on her own.

Back at Jiangyunxuan, Jia Baoyu took the jade off, rubbed it in his hand, and thought, "How can I make the jade as hard as iron so that it won't break?"

If you can't throw jade, you can't let the sisters accommodate him in the future. Is it possible that you can only stare and pretend to be sick when you get angry?

"That won't work. If you pretend to be sick too many times, people will see it." Jia Baoyu secretly said.

He's not stupid, on the contrary he's very smart and knows how to keep his sisters around him.

……

More than ten catties of fat meat and carrots were stewed together to make braised pork, which filled a large pot.

In fact, it is best to use pork belly to make braised pork, but the workers do hard work and love fatty meat the most, so Jia Yun directly served fatty meat.

At noon, all the workers were full of oil, and they put down their bowls and chopsticks only when they were full.

by the door.

Jia Wei supported his waist and leaned against the door frame, bowed his head to Jia Yun who was sitting on the threshold stone and said, "Brother Yun is worthy of being a chef, the food he cooks is delicious, oh, I haven't eaten for a long time! "

In the yard, after eating, everyone was restless, and they all held their stomachs and cried out in pain.

Jia Yun raised her head to signal, looked at those workers, and said worriedly: "They won't eat it bad, will they?"

Jia Wei let out a long breath, shook his head and said, "It's okay, just rest for a while, it's just because the food you cook is so delicious, I'm full."

Jia Yun smiled and said: "It's my fault, let my mother cook tomorrow, so as not to support you again."

"Hey, I said you're not kind. After eating your food once, how much appetite do you have for someone else's food?" Jia Wei said.

After a pause, he said again: "Believe it or not, from tomorrow onwards, these guys will always be thinking about your meal in the morning, no matter how hard it is today, they won't be able to stop them."

Jia Yun stood up, stretched herself, and said, "Come on, how can you be so exaggerated, could it be that you guys won't have dinner when you go back tonight?"

Jia Wei laughed and said with a grin, "It's different, okay. Eating the food cooked by a chef like you who pays ten taels for a meal, besides satisfying the appetite, also has special noodles, doesn't it?"

Just as he was talking, he saw Jia Baoyu walking lazily at the door with tea.

As soon as he got to the door, Jia Baoyu twitched his nose, and then sighed loudly: "That's the smell, the charm, I can smell it from a long way away!"

As he spoke, without waiting for Mingyan who was stunned behind him, Jia Baoyu flew up to Jia Yun and asked anxiously, "Brother Yun, what did you cook at home today?"

"Braised pork and rice, what's wrong?" Jia Yun asked in bewilderment.

Jia Baoyu swallowed, and said eagerly, "Is there anything else, give me something to eat."

Jia Yun was speechless, nodded and said: "There are still some leftovers. Speaking of Second Master Bao, Rongguo Mansion doesn't even have braised pork, and I don't think my braised pork is better than the chefs in your mansion. !"

"Stop talking, get me a quick order." Jia Baoyu said impatiently.

He actually ate at the mansion at noon, but he didn't eat much. When he thought that the food had no flavor, he couldn't swallow it, so he came to Jia Yun to find out.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived here, there would be a pleasant surprise. The food Jia Yun cooked today was really delicious, that's why he couldn't wait to eat it.

Jia Yun glanced at him, full of doubts in her heart, quickly heated up the leftovers, put them on a plate, and brought them to the table.

The rice was already steaming on the pot, and it was still hot, so there was no need to bother.

Jia Baoyu looked at the braised pork on the plate, took a deep breath, and praised: "That's the taste! Today is the right time!"

After finishing speaking, he wolfed down and ate.

Jia Yun looked at Mingyan standing beside her with black hair, and asked, "Do you want to eat? There is still some left."

Mingyan licked his lips, hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "That's troublesome."

"Hehe, don't bother, anyway, I have to collect money." Jia Yun said with a smile, and turned around to order a meal for Mingyan.

Without staring at them for dinner, Jia Yun came to the courtyard.

Jia Wei leaned over, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "Brother Yun's cooking skills are indeed of this kind. Second Master Bao has never tasted delicacies from mountains and seas, but he is conquered by your cooking skills!"

Jia Yun shook her head, but did not reply.

In fact, he had already figured it out now. The reason why Jia Baoyu had such a reaction should be related to the fact that the braised pork and carrots were produced in space.

As long as it was produced in space, Jia Baoyu would probably find it delicious.

But this matter cannot be told to others. After all, the space comes from Jia Baoyu, so his reaction is so big.

At the same time, Jia Yun also found out that Jia Baoyu wore the same piece of jade, which reassured him a lot. At least in the future, when others find out that the jade worn by Jia Baoyu is fake, it has nothing to do with him.

After a while, Jia Baoyu and Mingyan, who were full of food, came out.

"Hi... It's a pity today, I didn't bring a food box, otherwise I must buy a meal and go back, give it to Sister Lin to taste, let her know that the food is really delicious!"

Jia Baoyu walked up to Jia Yun, threw a piece of broken silver over, and muttered in a low voice.
