In the cup, aside from the floating tea leaves, you can still see the salt blocks that have sunk to the bottom and cannot melt.
Cheng Zheng didn't know how much salt he added. He could probably see his great-grandmother after taking one sip.
Qing Lingyi understood that the three traps they had set did not work, and they wanted to give her another blow here.
Mrs. Xue noticed the clue and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Zheng put on a concerned expression and asked knowingly: "Aunt, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the tea?"
Qing Lingyi was speechless and choked.
If she had put down the tea on the table first, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Shen would definitely know what was going on, and they would definitely give her a scolding.
This is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Should Chengjun and Chengzheng hate her or not?
what can we do about it?
"Hmm~hmm~hmm~hmm~"
At this moment, the childish voice of a little girl came from the door, humming some tuneless tune.
Qing Lingyi raised his eyes and saw Grandma Sun coming in with Cheng Anle in her arms. Cheng Anle also held an unfinished half-can of Mahua in her arms.
As soon as they saw her, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Shen were very happy, and the eyes of Cheng Jun and Cheng Zheng became much softer.
"Little Anle~"
"Little Anle is here."
Cheng Anle saw Qing Lingyi at a glance, his eyes sparkling: "Madam!"
Everyone's eyes then moved to Qing Lingyi.
Qing Lingyi put the tea cup on the table and said with a smile: "Come on, give me a hug."
Grandma Sun stepped forward, and Cheng Anle threw herself into Qing Lingyi's arms with great relief and sat on her lap.
Mrs. Xue was a little surprised: "When did you meet our little Anle?"
Qing Lingyi said truthfully: "Yesterday, I was cooking something to eat in the yard, and Xiao Anle happened to come over. After going back and forth, we became familiar with each other."
Cheng Anle took out a piece of twist from the jar in his arms and handed it to Mrs. Xue: "Grandma, eat~"
Old Mrs. Xue caught it, took a bite, and said with surprise: "This tastes good!"
Cheng Anle pointed at Qing Lingyi: "Ma'am, do it!"
After saying that, she took out another twist stick and handed it to Mrs. Shen.
There were also Cheng Jun, Cheng Zheng, and even Grandma Qi got one.
The rest, she was reluctant to share.
There is a spirit of sharing, but not much.
Cheng Anle hugged the jar tightly, noticed the celadon tea cup, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Cheng Jun and Cheng Zheng looked over at the same time.
Qing Lingyi replied: "This is tea."
Cheng Anle asked again: "Can you give me a taste? Not much, just one... okay?"
Cheng Jun wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Cheng Zheng nervously crushed the twist in his hand.
Qing Lingyi slowly glanced at both of them.
Cheng Jun and Cheng Zheng also looked at her, and the three of them communicated with their eyes——
Qing Lingyi: Should I give this cup of tea to Xiao Anle?
Cheng Jun: No.
Cheng Zheng: I have tampered with this tea!
Qing Lingyi: Wow, you keep admitting your mistake, but you still give me a cup of tea that has been tampered with?
Cheng Zheng: I was wrong, I was really wrong this time.
Cheng Jun: It has nothing to do with Xiaozheng, it was all my idea.
Cheng Zheng: It has nothing to do with my brother, I did it all. Please, don’t give this to little Anle!
"What are you doing with your flirting?" Mrs. Xue suddenly asked.
Qing Lingyi never made a draft when telling lies: "I think Jun'er and Zheng'er's facial features look very similar to those of the general."
Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "Uncle and nephew, of course they look alike."
While they were talking, Cheng Anle couldn't wait any longer. He held the tea cup with both hands and was about to drink it.
Cheng Jun: "Little..."
Cheng Zheng: "Don't..."
But it was too late.
Only Qing Lingyi reached out to scoop it up without any haste and took away the tea cup neatly.
Cheng Anle didn't realize what was missing.
Immediately afterwards, she curled her lips and said, "Ugh..."
Qing Lingyi patted her little head: "This is very painful."
Cheng Anle stopped crying: "Bitter?"
"Yes, it's super bitter," Qing Lingyi said, "Let's have some breakfast first, and then I'll make you some pastries."
The little girl was so coaxable. As soon as she heard this, she immediately stopped thinking about the cup of tea and said with great anticipation: "Pastry!"
"Steamed cheese with sugar, do you want it?"
"Yes!" Cheng Anle replied loudly.
After answering, she asked again: "What is that?"
Qing Lingyi smiled and said: "It's a very sweet and delicious snack."
Cheng Anle was looking forward to it.
Qing Lingyi glanced at Chengjun and Chengzheng respectively: "Do you two want to come together?"
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Shen were both worried that these two monkeys were going their own way and Qing Lingyi just came. How could they listen to her?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Jun and Cheng Zheng actually responded in unison: "Okay."
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Shen were both extremely surprised.
Qing Lingyi, where did this man of God come from!
A breakfast and everything was fine.
After it was over, Qing Lingyi hugged Cheng Anle and said to Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Shen, "Mother, sister-in-law, let's leave first."
Cheng Anle followed suit: "Let's go now."
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Shen both smiled and nodded.
Qing Lingyi stood up with Cheng Anle in his arms. Cheng Jun and Cheng Zheng looked at each other and followed.
All the way to Yanshan Residence, Qing Lingyi was silent the whole time, with a solemn expression.
Cheng Jun and Cheng Zheng were confused for a moment——
Why didn't she say a word?
Is she thinking of some way to take revenge on them?
In fact, Qing Lingyi was having random thoughts.
Obviously, she was targeted by the two of them, and what the two teenagers did was clearly to drive her out of the general's mansion.
what to do?
Why don't you kneel down with tears in your eyes: Please don't embarrass me anymore, please leave me some dignity as a human being!
Or lying on the ground, crawling in darkness and twitching, letting out a sharp roar.
Or he might go crazy and jump on their heads to gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw.
……
Yanshanju has arrived.
Qing Lingyi turned to look at the two of them.
The two teenagers each had their own tensions.
"You guys take a look at Xiao Anle first," Qing Lingyi finally gave up the idea of nibbling, "I'm going to make sugar-steamed cheese."
Before Cheng Zheng could react, Cheng Jun stepped forward and said, "Okay."
He took Cheng Anle's arms and Qing Lingyi turned around and entered the small kitchen.
She first poured out the plums that were almost pickled yesterday, mixed them with sugar liquid and boiled them for a cup of tea, fished them all out, and after cooling, they were candied fruits that could be eaten.
Next, make the steamed cheese with sugar.
First, pour fresh milk into a pot to heat, and add some rock sugar.
After it cools down, add the brewed rice wine, not too much, and stir carefully.
Then take five small bowls, pour milk wine, cover the mouth of the bowl with a layer of clean lotus leaves, and put them all into a large pot to steam.
While waiting, Qing Lingyi found some crushed walnuts, almonds and the like.
When the cheese is ready, spread the nuts evenly on the surface.
Biwei came in to help and took the prepared cheese to the pavilion on a large tray.
Cheng Anle was having fun, and when he saw Qing Lingyi, he cheered: "Wow! It's done! Just now, my brother and the others said..."
With quick eyes and quick hands, Cheng Jun covered Cheng Anle's mouth.
