Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 356 The Power of Food

The Liu family is a hundred-year-old Zanying family, a large family that has been handed down from the previous dynasty, with a profound heritage, simple and old-fashioned, and it goes without saying that it is famous.

Although Qiao Lianlian came from an ordinary family, as long as she was adopted as a foster daughter by the Liu family, she could be said to have jumped into the list of ladies from aristocratic families in the capital.

Although a decent lady would still despise her origin and despise her as a righteous daughter, but to most common people, they would think that Qiao Lianlian was no longer ordinary.

This is the power of the aristocratic family, and it is also the fundamental purpose of Ji Yunshu's trip.

Qiao Lianlian made good preparations and realized that the Liu family didn't like her very much, but Mrs. Liu's straightforward words still surprised her.

"Although the adoptive daughter is only in the name of the Liu family, you are still considered a member of the Liu family to outsiders. Our Liu family helped you this time, and we don't expect anything in return from you. I only hope that you will not give it to Liu. If there is any trouble at home, just make any stumbling block." Mrs. Liu said slowly.

Qiao Lian pursed his lips and did not speak.

From a rational point of view, she felt that Mrs. Liu was right, and she was also afraid of accepting a foster daughter, which would destroy the reputation of the century-old Zanying family.

But emotionally, she was still a little ugly, not because of anything else, just because of the straightforward distrust.

"Old madam." Qiao Lianlian said softly, "I, Qiao Lianlian, have lived for 19 years. Although I have been involved in many accidents, I have never done anything wrong, let alone bring harm to those who helped me. If you come to trouble, it is understandable that the old lady has doubts about me, and I will make an oath to the old lady here, no matter what happens in the future, the Liu family will not be affected, and I hope the old lady will put her heart in her stomach."

It's just that if she gains power, she won't take care of the Liu family.

Both good and bad are risks. It is unreasonable to avoid the bad, but think of all the good.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu both understood Qiao Lianlian's implication, but the advantage was that she had a good attitude and assumed the posture of a junior, which would not be too unpleasant.

It was this female doll, who was surprisingly smart.

"Since you understand everything, that's the best." Mrs. Liu smiled and didn't say anything else.

Both sides were wary and unhappy, but for Ji Yunshu's sake, they both maintained harmony.

This was probably the strangest atmosphere Qiao Lianlian had ever seen.

Naturally, Ji Yunshu could see that something was wrong, he cleared his throat, and broke the weird atmosphere, "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, speaking of which, Lian Lian's craftsmanship is very good, I specially brought a few of them with me when I came here. The pot, maybe it’s still hot now, would you like to try it?”

Mr. Liu raised his eyebrows.

People in the world only know that Mrs. Qiao is the second owner of Sixilou, a skilled doctor, but no one knows that all the dishes and cakes of Sixilou come from this woman, and only people like Mrs. Liu know that this woman is actually It's not easy.

Among other things, even the old emperor loved her pastries.

But Mr. Liu doesn't believe in this evil.

He has lived for so many years, and has even experienced the change of dynasties. He has never seen any delicious food. No matter how delicious Qiao's cooks, it will not make people want to put it down.

It's about three people becoming a tiger, which is more strange than rare.

Thinking so, Mr. Liu nodded arrogantly to Ji Yunshu, "Since I brought them all, let's try it reluctantly."

Good guy, this attitude is quite embarrassing.

If Yu Fei wanted to leave it here, he would definitely leave immediately with the pastries.

If you like to eat or not, if you don’t eat, let me eat!

But Qiao Lianlian couldn't. Although she was roaring in her heart, she still had a kind face on her face, watching Ji Yunshu hand over the cake in her hand to the old mother who came forward.

The old mother moved neatly, and peeled off the yellow parchment paper two or three times, revealing the soft cake inside.

The first one is Milk Xiaofang. The white milk cake is wrapped with a layer of fried soybean flour. As soon as it is taken out, the aroma of milk mixed with soybeans wafts out.

The second portion is the flower cake, with layers of crispy skin wrapped in fresh roses, baked to a yellow but not brown color, and a layer of crumbs will fall off when the old mother touches it lightly.

The third part is Poria cocos cake. Use glutinous rice flour mixed with rice flour and Poria cocos that Qiao Lianlian has been looking for for a long time, break it up, add water, rub it, put it into steamed, gently flatten it, steam it and cut it into pieces, the mouth is soft, glutinous and sweet, more Not greasy, pleasant taste.

These three cakes looked ordinary, but when they were taken out, the aroma rushed straight into the nose.

Mrs. Liu first set her eyes on Milk Xiaofang.

There is no milk powder in this era, so Qiao repeatedly used soybean powder instead, which is not as flavorful as milk powder, but it adds another flavor, which is more acceptable to people who don't like milk flavor.

The old mother cleverly took a small square and fed it to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu is also in her fifties and has lost a lot of her teeth. Fortunately, the milk cube is soft and tender, and it melts in the mouth.

After chewing for a while, the aroma of soybean powder followed closely, layer upon layer, making people want to stop.

"It's delicious." Mrs. Liu swallowed the mouthful of milk Xiaofang, and praised it without hesitation.

Even so, I feel that Qiao Lianlian is much more pleasing to the eye.

Old Mrs. Liu frowned even more, and he couldn't believe it. How delicious these ordinary pastries are. Although they smelled good, the pastries he had seen before didn't smell bad.

"Uncle Liu, try it too." Ji Yunshu said with a smile, "The pastries made by Lian Lian are better than those made outside."

Blow, keep blowing!
Mr. Liu believed that Ji Yunshu was carrying Qiao Lianlian's sedan chair, and his wife was just doing Xiao Shu'er face just now.

He pursed his lips, picked up a piece of flower cake, and lightly bit it with his remaining three teeth.

Not as firm as expected, nor sweet and greasy fillings.

The outer skin of this flower cake is crispy but soft, and the flower filling is rich in taste. In addition to the sweet roses, it seems that there are crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. One bite, the outside is crispy and the inside is soft, and it can be eaten with only three teeth. move.

Well, the taste...seems to be pretty good.

Mr. Liu suddenly felt that this pastry was not without its merits. It seemed that the future Princess Qingping County did have two brushes.

But he won't admit that he was wrong, it's at most... a mistake.

Yes, I missed it.

As Mr. Liu thought, he took a big bite of the flower cake.

Suddenly the door of the main hall was opened, and a boy rushed over while yelling, "I smell the smell of flower cakes..."

Mr. Liu was taken aback, and subconsciously swallowed the flower cake in his mouth, but he forgot that he only had three teeth, and the flower cake just now had not had time to chew, and swallowing it instantly blocked his throat .

In just a few breaths, Mrs. Liu, who was sitting upright just now, collapsed on the back of the chair.

The people around were shocked.
