Chapter 121： Lift high

Chapter 121 Lift high

Fan Yanjia was not very old, but he had a nephew at home who was very good at playing with children. Seeing that Su Ruojin insisted on catching Su Sanlang, he became playful and turned around to lift Su Sanlang up to prevent the young lady from catching her brother.

Su Sanlang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Yeah, sister can't catch me."

Little brat! Su Ruojin stared while taking a breath, "Forrest Gump, come down quickly."

Su Sanlang proudly made a face at his sister: "No... no..."

Su Ruojin couldn't call her brother, so she had no choice but to say to Fan Yanjia, "Brother Yanjia, let go quickly..." Before she could finish her words, someone picked up her armpits, and in the blink of an eye, her feet were up in the air.

Suddenly he was taller than his younger brother. Looking down at his younger brother, they both stared in shock.

Uh...what's going on?

Su Ruojin woke up from the fright, and then realized that she was being held up by Zhao Lan, facing her younger brother.

She: ... turned to look at the young man who picked her up, brother... what are you doing? I didn't ask you to lift it. I just noticed that the dust from my brother's shoes rubbed onto Young Master Fan's robe. What did you think?

The young master's expression was as usual, indifferent, as if he was not raising Yuxue's lovely little lady, and he didn't see the little lady's small mouth opened in shock, as if to say, now the 'bandits' can be caught.

Su Ruojin:…

Fan Yanjia was also stunned. Prince Zhao still had the patience to play with the little kids? How can this be?

“Why are you taller than me?” Only Su Sanlang exclaimed in shock and wonder, “Wow...sister, Brother Zhao is so powerful...”

The two young masters Zhao and Fan stood at the entrance of the Su family's courtyard. They were like bamboos and pines, dressed in rich clothes. Even in the alley where officials lived, they were very eye-catching. The children in the alley were curious. Surrounded by them, the Su family siblings were lifted up by two gorgeous young masters. They all looked at them with envious smiles. They also wanted to be lifted up high. How fun it was.

Yang Siniang raised her head and asked, "Ah Jin, are they your father's students?"

 She was so angry at the third brother, Su Ruojin came back to her senses, kicked her legs twice, "Put me down quickly." With so many children, she didn't call Zhao Lan by any name, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

Zhao Lan seemed to react slowly.

Su Ruojin saw that he wouldn't let go, so she kicked twice more, staring at him with her beautiful big almond eyes, signaling to put her down quickly. It was not good for so many children to watch.

The little lady's eyes almost popped out of her head. Zhao Lan pressed the corners of his mouth, as if he finally reacted, and slowly put the person on the ground.

Fan Yanjia saw him putting down the young lady, and he also put down Su Sanlang.

Su Ruojin glared at the third stinky brother again, turned around and said with a smile: "Ah Rong, we have a visitor at my house. I'll play with you tomorrow." After saying that, he went to hold Su Silang, who was standing by the wall, "Let's go, Ah Cheng." , let’s go home.”

She took the lead to go home, and the children in the alley dispersed when they saw that there was no fun to watch.

 Zhao and Fan followed the Su family siblings into the courtyard.

Yang Siniang stood between the walls of the two courtyards, looking at the young men carrying things left and right. It seemed that the two young masters had sent many gifts to the Su family. She pursed her lips. People often came to the Yang family to give gifts, but her mother once They didn't take any, and sent the gift-givers away for various reasons.

Mother said that it is not good to give gifts, but is it okay for the student to give gifts to his wife? There were guests at home, and Mrs. Ding (Ji’s mother) quickly came over to hug Su Silang.

Cheng Yingzhen looked behind the two young masters.

Fan Yanjia raised his hands and saluted: "Yan Jia has met Madam."

Zhao Lan followed and saluted.

Cheng Yingzhen quickly told the two young masters not to be polite, and then subconsciously glanced at the door.

Fan Yanjia smiled and said, "Dr. Su has not returned to the Imperial College yet. I took advantage of the little prince and left the Imperial College early today."

That’s it!

Cheng Yingzhen wanted to welcome the two of them to the main hall, but Fan Yanjia refused, "Let's go to the study, Su Dalang is here!"

"exist!"

Su Dalang is going to Dongshan Academy in the next few days. He has almost packed his things and is waiting for the day to pass.

Dongshan Academy is located halfway up Dongshan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. It has undulating mountains, beautiful environment, quiet and pleasant environment, and is very suitable for building academies, villas, etc.

Su Dalang came out when he heard the commotion, followed by Xue Wulang. The young men, young and old, bowed to each other and greeted each other, and soon they all entered Su Yanli's study.

Cheng Yingzhen asked her daughter, "What shall we entertain the two young masters in the evening?"

The first lunar month has just passed, and the weather is still cold. There is really no river fish or seafood in Bianjing City in the north. Apart from meat, it is chicken and duck, which are also common dishes for ordinary people like them. For the meaty ones, there are Babao Tofu, Salted Shao Bai, and Gulu. Meat and crispy duck with sesame seeds; for the vegetarian version, there are fungus that Father Feng brought and dried kelp that he bought during the Chinese New Year. Then there are scrambled eggs with fungus, stir-fried shredded kelp with mung bean sprouts, and the most common clear soup in winter. For stir-fried cabbage, let's use clear soup with chicken.

Babao Tofu is a dish recorded in Suiyuan’s menu. It is said to be very good for recuperating, losing weight, and delicate skin. Su Ruojin loved this dish in her previous life. It was simply created for women. It includes bamboo shoots, white fungus, pork belly, and sea fish. Made of dried mushrooms, tofu and other ingredients, it is delicious and nutritious. It is a good time to eat it when spring is warm but still cold.

Salted braised pork belly, as Sichuan people call it, the ingredients and method are actually similar to braised pork belly with pickled vegetables. They use pickled vegetables to absorb all the greasiness of fatty pork belly. The meat is not greasy and the vegetables are fragrant. Full of flavor, you can eat it in one piece. The meat is tender, the vegetables are thin, salty and sweet, and the taste is endless.

Sweet and sour pork, also known as ancient meat, is a traditional Cantonese specialty dish. It is made of refined meat mixed with seasoning and starch to make large meatballs. It is deep-fried in an oil pan until crispy and covered with sweet and sour marinade. It has a sour taste. It is sweet and delicious, and is very popular among people, especially children. The two young boys who came here must also like it.

For crispy duck with sesame seeds, choose a plump duck and fry it in a pan. Pour oil over the surface and fry until the surface of the duck turns golden brown. Pour off the oil, then sprinkle with pepper powder, pour in sesame oil, take out and cut into strips. , neatly placed on the plate. At first glance, it looks a bit like roast duck. It is golden, soft, crispy, tender and delicious, making it unforgettable in the mouth.

The last clear soup is Vietnamese chicken. Of course, you can’t buy Vietnamese chicken in Bianjing City, but that doesn’t stop Su Ruojin from using it to make this soup its name. The washed and processed chicken is simmered in a casserole over low heat until it looks like a clear soup. Although it lacks water, in fact, the clear soup is delicious and original. Whether you drink a bowl before eating or after a meal, it is most refreshing and delicious. One sip will give you a sense of satisfaction and happiness.

The two young men were holding small soup bowls and squinting and couldn't stop taking small sips. Even the youngest Su Shilang was holding the bowl and refused to put it down. His belly was so round that he was moaning for soup.

After dinner, it was cold at night, so Su Yanli put a fire cage in his study to keep him warm.

Su Ruojin would not go to her father's study when there were guests.

Fan Yanjia: Prince Zhao Xiao, men and women do not sit at the same table at the age of seven. Isn’t that bad of you?

Zhao Lan: ...hug my wife, thank you!

Su Ruojin…
