Li Xiaonuan jumped all the way to the West Chamber, Gu Xiao was standing in front of the table, concentrating on painting, Li Xiaonuan lay on the table lightly, looked at Gu Xiao after painting a corner of the garden, and then said with a smile:

"Gu Xiao, shall we eat mutton pot at night?"

Gu Xiao nodded hurriedly, put down the pen in his hand, turned his head, looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile and said:

"Nuan Nuan is really thoughtful, you are the most comfortable to eat a pot this day!"

Li Xiaonuan smiled softly,

"I asked my sister to go to the kitchen at the end of winter, and asked Mama Liu to clean up a pot for us, preferably fish soup, and then shabu mutton slices!"

Gu Xiao bent his eyes and laughed, shook his head and said:

"Fish and sheep...... Fresh! Nuan Nuan is so thoughtful! ”

Li Xiaonuan straightened up with a smile on her face,

"Then you can paint well, I will let Xiaoyu go to Wutong Courtyard to talk to Sister Juying, and ask her to send two proper mothers-in-law and come back to pick you up later."

Gu Xiao nodded in agreement, Li Xiaonuan jumped lightly back to the east chamber, sat on the couch, picked up the flower bandage, raised it and looked at it for a while, sighed, closed his eyes and straightened his breath, and slowly embroidered the flowers in the light of the window.

At the end of Shen, a few mothers-in-law in the kitchen carried two or three large food boxes and sent a brass pot into Songfeng Courtyard, Xiaoyu lifted the curtain, and Li Xiaonuan had already asked people to put a sour branch wood on the east wing couch.

The mother-in-law took a bamboo mat and put it on the table, holding the copper pot and putting it on the mat, the middle of the pot was already stuffed with burning silver frost charcoal, and the thick white fish soup in the pot was tumbling, exuding an attractive fragrance.

The other two mothers-in-law took out more than a dozen dishes of ingredients such as thin slices of mutton, hairy tripe, neatly cut cabbage leaves, and radish slices from the food box, and placed them on the low table in front of the couch, and took out five or six kinds of ingredients such as aged vinegar, garlic paste, and oily chili peppers, put them on the several, and reported with a smile:

"These things are all done according to the method instructed by Miss Biao."

He took out four dishes of smoked fish, shredded sour bamboo shoots, drunken yellow mud snails and cold black fungus from another food box, put them on the couch, and bent his knees and retreated.

Li Xiaonuan cheered and sat on the couch, picking up the chopsticks and about to do it, Gu Xiao hurriedly shouted:

"Nuan Nuan, don't move, the pot is so hot, what if it burns you? Let the girls be scalded and send them to us. ”

Li Xiaonuan was stunned, laughed, his subordinates didn't stop, took a few pieces of mutton and threw them into the pot, turned his head to look at Gu Xiao, and said with a smile:

"Eating a pot and eating crabs are the same thing, you have to do it yourself to be delicious!"

Gu Xiao hurriedly waved his hand to stop the end of winter who was about to step forward,

"I'll do it myself."

Li Xiaonuan also ignored Gu Xiao, staring at the mutton slices, seeing that it had changed color, he hurriedly fished it out and put it on the plate in front of him, and was about to send it to his mouth, when he heard the little girl outside reporting loudly:

"Second Miss is here!"

Li Xiaonuan took a breath in his throat, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, so he had to get up and go out.

Gu Yunhuan had already entered the main house with a smile on his face, smelled the fragrance of the room, looked at Li Xiaonuan and said with disgust:

"I listened to the mother-in-law in the kitchen! You two don't go to Ruixuan Hall to eat, hide here and eat pots! Don't call me a word! ”

"It's the ancestor who won't let us go over to eat!"

Gu Xiao hurriedly argued, Gu Yunhuan waved his hand casually, ignored him, and went straight to the east chamber.

"Xiao Nuan, ask your girl to add me a pair of chopsticks, and I will eat here tonight!"

Li Xiaonuan hung her head helplessly, and at the end of winter, she didn't wait for Li Xiaonuan's orders, hurriedly called Lan Chu, took a set of dishes and chopsticks and sent them in.

Gu Yunhuan honestly and unceremoniously went to the couch and sat in the innermost, Shiqin looked at Li Xiaonuan who was full of distress, couldn't help laughing, twisted a hot handkerchief in the hot bath basin that Xiaoyu held over, and handed it to Gu Yunhuan, Gu Yunhuan cleaned his hands, picked up the chopsticks, ignored Gu Xiao and Li Xiaonuan, and picked up the mutton slices by himself.

Li Xiaonuan stood at the door of the East Chamber, looked at Gu Yunhuan who was beside him with distress, sighed, turned around and pushed Gu Xiao,

"You can go in and eat, and I tell them to boil some hot water and make tea later."

Gu Xiao nodded with a smile, turned around and entered the east chamber, Li Xiaonuan watched him enter, sighed again, looked at the end of winter helplessly, and commanded in a low voice:

"You hurry up and go to the kitchen, and tell Mama Liu, we have added another person here, let her send some more slices of mutton or something, and you can take ...... again."

"The eldest lady is here!"

The bright voice of the little girl outside interrupted Li Xiaonuan's words, Li Xiaonuan's eyes widened, and the words behind her choked back, and when she was stunned, Gu Yunshan had already lifted the curtain and came in.

"I know you must be hiding here to steal food! As soon as you enter the yard, you can smell the fragrance! ”

Li Xiaonuan shrugged her shoulders and bent her knees to salute Gu Yunshan, Gu Yunshan waved her hand, didn't return the salute, didn't pay attention to her, only smiled and strode straight into the east chamber.

"I'm so hungry that I've been busy all afternoon, and I don't even have time to eat a snack! What kind of soup is used for this? It smells so good! ”

Li Xiaonuan blinked his eyes a few times, sighed again, turned his head, and continued to tell the end of winter,

"Take another hundred yuan to Mama Liu, and tell her, let's add another person, let her help send two more people's amount, well, there is a hungry one, the amount is relaxed, if it is convenient, then trouble her to let people roll out two bowls of noodles, just send the raw noodles over, and, don't forget to ask for some base soup."

At the end of the winter, while pursing his lips and laughing, he spread his hands and said in a low voice:

"The girl's monthly money this month can't even be used at the end of the month!"

Li Xiaonuan kept sighing and waved his hand helplessly,

"Go, go, go!"

At the end of winter, he bent his knees and agreed, quietly went to the inner room to get the money, and went to the kitchen with an umbrella.

Li Xiaonuan turned into the east chamber, Gu Xiao beckoned to her with a smile,

"Come on, the mutton is very tender!"

Li Xiaonuan sat on the couch with a smile, Gu Yunhuan pulled a small bowl with aged vinegar, garlic and other seasonings, and asked curiously:

"Xiao Nuan, how do you eat these things?"

Li Xiaonuan reached out and took the garlic bowl, took some small silver spoon and put it in front of him, poured some vinegar, fished a piece of mutton from the pot, dipped it on it, and sent it to his mouth.

Gu Yunshan looked at Li Xiaonuan's seasoning with interest on her face, and laughed,

"Xiao Nuan is the best at eating! This pot is a little lighter, and if you eat too much, you will be a little tired. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took the minced garlic and salted radish, looked at it, scooped up a spoonful of sesame paste, adjusted it carefully, took out a piece of mutton from the pot, dipped it, and put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and kept nodding.

"It's delicious!"

Gu Yunhuan frowned and looked at the garlic paste,

"I hate the smell of garlic the most, it stinks!"

Li Xiaonuan glanced at her, Gu Xiao followed Li Xiaonuan, and also glanced at her, Gu Yunshan just didn't hear it, the chopsticks didn't stop, just scooping up the mutton, dipping it in the seasoning and sending it into her mouth.

Gu Yunhuan looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and sighed heavily,

"Alas! Anyway, if you don't eat it, you'll be smelly! ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took the garlic bowl, scooped some garlic, poured some vinegar into it, tasted it, put some salted radish minced radish, and was busy scooping up the mutton slices and eating them.

Li Xiaonuan put some cabbage and radish into it, and saw that a few dishes of ingredients were at the bottom.

At the end of winter, I brought a few kitchen mothers-in-law into a cold air, and put the ingredients on the low table next to the couch, and put a bowl of soup outside.

The four of them ate for a while, Gu Yunshan screamed hot, took off the cotton jacket outside, Gu Xiao also followed the big clothes outside, and after a while, the four of them all went to the thick clothes outside, wearing only a close-fitting jacket, eating happily and their cheeks were crimson.

Li Xiaonuan shouted and added soup twice at the end of winter, and saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he went down and went in.

At the end of winter, he took four clean small bowls, fished out a few noodles, and added some soup, Gu Yunhuan picked the noodles and ate them, drank the soup again, and kept nodding,

"Xiao Nuan, this bowl of noodles is the best."

Gu Yunshan stroked her stomach, hesitantly looked at the noodles and soup in the bowl, and sighed,

"Eat, I can't eat it, don't eat it, I'm really hungry!"

Li Xiaonuan laughed, picked up the bowl and ate the noodles slowly, Gu Yunshan hesitated, but still picked up the bowl and ate the noodles.

At the end of winter, he took a few Xiaoyu to clean up the pots, dishes and other things, and cleaned up the east chamber, Li Xiaonuan instructed Lan Chu to open the windows of the east chamber a little.

Under the veranda, the red lanterns shine warmly, the snow is still falling unhurriedly, and the yard is warm.

Lan Chu brewed strong tea and served it, the four of them were crooked on the couch, Gu Yunshan let out a long sigh of relief, stretched his arms and sighed:

"It's so comfortable to eat!"

Gu Yunhuan's cheeks were crimson, and he pushed open the window and looked out,

"Isn't it cold now? No wonder it is said that the snow is not cold. ”

Li Xiaonuan smiled and fell on the couch,

"What snow doesn't turn snow cold?! It's just that you eat hot in the pot, and you are hot all over your body at this time, and you don't feel cold! ”

Gu Yunhuan turned around and fell on the couch with a smile, Gu Xiao followed and leaned on the window and looked out,

"It's still snowing, it's so beautiful! Why don't we go to the back garden and watch the snow? ”

"That's a good idea!"

Gu Yunhuan became excited, and hurriedly clapped his hands and praised, Li Xiaonuan turned around and glared at Gu Xiao,

"It's such a night, and it's snowing like this, you're going to go to the back garden now, I'm afraid that even the old ancestor will be alarmed!"

Gu Yunshan yawned and nodded,

"Xiao Nuan is right, Gu Xiao hurry up, I don't hear that you returned to Wutong Courtyard safely, and Xin'er slept peacefully, my mother and ancestor couldn't sleep!"

Gu Xiao "hummed", glanced at Gu Yunshan, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly got off the bed, called the end of the winter to come over and ordered:

"Let's take a look, is the mother-in-law who came to pick up Gu Xiao and the eldest sister and second sister here, if not, hurry up and let someone urge, it's already late."

"I arrived early, and I was sitting in the East Chamber, talking, and waiting."

At the end of winter, he replied with a smile, Li Xiaonuan nodded, and did not ask the three of them, but commanded directly:

"Tell them, big sister, they're going back now."

At the end of winter, I hurriedly agreed and went out to spread the word.

Gu Yunshan stretched her waist and straightened up from the couch,

"Let's go back, if Gu Xiao is not here, it doesn't hurt for us to play for a while, with him here, if we don't go back, my mother and ancestor will definitely send someone to ask!"

Gu Xiao stared at Gu Yunshan angrily, Gu Yunshan ignored him, Pearl and Shiqin came in, waited for Gu Yunshan and Gu Yunhuan to wear thick clothes and cloaks, Li Xiaonuan took Gu Xiao's clothes over, waited for him to wear them, took the cloak handed over by Lan Chu, and carefully tied the belt for him.

The three of them went out of the main house, and the girl outside with lanterns hugged the three of them out of the courtyard gate and went back to their respective yards.
