Chapter 572: Longan and Lotus Seed Soup 2
This longan and lotus seed soup is moderately hot and cold. The lotus seed core originally tastes extremely bitter. I don’t know how the dirty seeds were processed. It is bitter yet sweet.
Just like her current situation, although it is a bit miserable to be a prisoner, fortunately, there is still a man beside her who can rely on, which can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
As the saying goes, enjoy lotus in summer and eat lotus in autumn. Fresh lotus seeds are ripe in autumn and are the most delicious and nourishing to eat at this time. Now that the season for eating lotus seeds has passed, I don’t know how to preserve these obscene seeds. The lotus seeds taste extremely fresh and smooth. The blood glutinous rice is also cooked until it becomes sticky and glutinous, which is very refreshing. The pulp of longan is also cooked until it is soft, glutinous, sweet and extremely fragrant.
Mrs. Xue took a small taste with the mentality of looking forward to death. The delicious food that entered her throat made her eyes light up. Her charming peach blossom eyes could not help but slightly curved, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She was very satisfied with the taste of this longan and lotus seed soup. It was not much worse than what the cooks in the mansion made, or even better.
This made Mrs. Xue look at Bi Yuntao with admiration. It was said that there was an endless stream of guests in his restaurant every day. She had always thought that it was just the imperial concubine and the others who were trying to build momentum for him, but she did not expect that this dirty guy really had some skills.
Mrs. Xue slowly finished the longan and lotus seed soup in the bowl. There was food in her belly, which made her feel warm and sweet straight into her heart.
Bi Yuntao saw Mrs. Xue's expression in his eyes. Mrs. Xue showed a satisfied smile, which made him feel proud. He had worked hard for the health of this pretty widow.
This longan and lotus seed soup has an invisible ingredient like the one sold in his restaurant, which is rock sugar. Although the production of rock sugar is simple, the restaurant uses a lot of it every day, so most of what is sold in the restaurant is added sucrose, and the taste will be different. There is a slight difference, but the impact is not significant.
Rock sugar has the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, producing body fluids and quenching thirst, replenishing vital energy, and strengthening the spleen and stomach. He added some of it when stewing longan and lotus seed soup. Rock sugar is not as sweet as other sugars and makes people feel refreshed.
Moreover, the sweet taste of rock sugar can make the food very appetizing, which is suitable for Mrs. Xue who has a cough. Firstly, it can moisten the lungs and relieve the cough. Secondly, it can let her eat more to replenish her physical strength. She sweats so much and loses nutrients. Serious, continue to supplement nutrition.
Lotus seed core tastes extremely bitter, but it has a significant cardiotonic effect, has a good effect on dispelling heart fire, and helps sleep. Longan contains a variety of nutrients, which can warm and protect against cold, soothe the nerves, nourish qi, and delay aging. However, eating too much can easily lead to internal heat, so he deliberately chose sun-dried longan meat.
He chose this blood glutinous rice after careful consideration. Blood glutinous rice has the effects of nourishing the liver, nourishing the skin, and moisturizing the skin. Longan also has the effect of delaying aging. In addition, rock sugar has the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving coughs, and promoting body fluids and quenching thirst. Therefore, This longan and lotus seed soup is not only nutritionally balanced, it can also beautify the skin. It reveals the care for this pretty widow who is as beautiful as a fairy.
Mrs. Xue was very satisfied with the taste of the longan and lotus seed soup. It could be said that she was still unsatisfied. She licked her lips lightly and looked at Bi Yuntao meaningfully.
Bi Yuntao saw Mrs. Xue looking guilty and looking at the longan and lotus seed soup in the pot. He couldn't help but want to laugh. He thought to himself, he didn't expect this pretty widow to have such a proud and cute side. This When the time comes, I can't bear to put down my face and ask him. It's really cute.
Bi Yuntao shook his head with a smile, took the empty bowl in front of him, and filled another bowl for Mrs. Xue, the arrogant and pretty widow. He raised his head with both hands and looked at her with a smile.
Being stared at without any hesitation by this obscene man, how could any ancient woman endure such wanton behavior? Mrs. Xue couldn't help but blush, and felt irritated in her heart. She frowned in displeasure, and the good impression she had just had on him suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly, Mrs. Xue remembered something and said to him: "Did you, a dirty bitch, be with Xiao He yesterday?"
This made Bi Yuntao, who admired the beauty's beauty, stunned. He didn't understand why the pretty widow would suddenly mention this matter, but looking at her serious look, he had a vague suspicion in his heart.
But after what happened last night, there was no way he could leave that little girl behind. He originally planned to find a way to mention this to Mrs. Xue after he went back. Since she asked now, he should explain it to her now.
His thoughts were flowing, and Bi Yuntao did not answer her words, but asked: "Mrs. Xue, Xiaohe treats you like a mother, but do you really understand her?"
Bi Yuntao's rhetorical question was extremely harsh in Mrs. Xue's ears, her face became a little ugly, and her tone became a little colder, "Xiao He is an orphan. I raised her. Naturally, I know her better than you do. She’s still a little kid now.”
Mrs. Xue's words had a meaning. Bi Yuntao frowned and said: "Mrs. Xue, I don't like hearing what you say. I have never harmed Xiao He, not before, and never will in the future. Originally, before yesterday, I I had the same idea as you, thinking that she was still a child who had not grown up, but later I found out that I was very wrong. We all underestimated her too much. She worries about you and Xue Ruyue every day, and worries about you and Xue Ruyue every day. The Xue family prays that she can sacrifice her life for the one she likes."
Mrs. Xue was about to speak, but Bi Yuntao waved his hand to stop her and said: "To be honest, although that girl Xiao He is usually a bit arrogant, she treats me sincerely. If it weren't for the sake of that girl Xiao He, Even with Xue Ruyue's relationship, I will never leave the perfume issue in the hands of your Xue family."
Hearing him talk to her in this tone, Mrs. Xue felt very angry, but seeing that his expression was not angry and intimidating, it was completely different from his usual sultry look, which made people feel faintly afraid.
Mrs. Xue was shocked again, why did this dirty guy change so much? Although this appearance was much more pleasing to the eye, she still liked his cynical look with a bad smile on his lips. Although it was a little frivolous, he That makes me feel comfortable. I didn't expect it to be a bit scary now.
"Let's not talk about this matter for now. Now that we are trapped in this prison, talking about this will only increase our troubles." Mrs. Xue rubbed her brows and said weakly.
Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It is better to wait until the two of them get out of here and have a good talk with her two daughters.
"Not only are we in jail, but we can also be regarded as a man and a woman living together in the same room. Mrs. Xue, this is a blessing that we have cultivated for three lifetimes." Bi Yuntao regained his original character and started to talk nonsense again. The calm and confident expression disappeared, and he winked at Madam Xue.
