Unexpectedly, as soon as Ning Xi's voice fell, the woman "plopped" and knelt down again: "Please, girl, even if you can't keep me, please leave my Xiaobao behind, Xiaobao doesn't eat much, just give him a little bit of the leftover from the guests in front of him, he is also very well-behaved and won't be noisy, and he can help work when he grows up." ”

That Xiaobao didn't seem to understand well, but he just watched his mother cry, and cried too, that one was miserable.

Ning Xi was anxious: "You get up quickly, I didn't mean that, I didn't say I wanted to drive you away!" ”

Meng Shuangshuang also hurriedly jumped over and dragged her up: "Oh, don't think about it, we Ning Xi are not such people, can we still watch your flesh and blood separate?" ”

The woman's eyes flashed with surprise, and she stammered: "Then, that means that we mother and son can stay?" ”

Ning Xi nodded at her: "Let's stay first, help with some chores first, and then I'll see if there's anything suitable for you to do." ”

The woman said happily: "Thank you, thank you so much to the two girls!" Turning around and hugging his son, "Bao'er, great, my mother has a job, we can have a place to live and something to eat." The girl is really the reincarnation of the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva......"

"Okay, okay, no more talk, by the way, what will we call you in the future?" Meng Shuangshuang hurriedly stopped her from continuing to nag.

"Everyone else calls me Mei Niang, this is Xiaoer Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao."

"Mei Niang, you have been displaced these days, and you must be very tired, I will let someone take you to the place where you live, you have a good rest first, and then come to the restaurant to help in two days!" After Ning Xi finished speaking, she asked Mei Niang to take her to the staff dormitory of the restaurant, and instructed her to arrange a room for her, and take them to buy some daily necessities and a change of clothes.

Previously, Ningxi rented a large courtyard in a relatively remote alley behind Shuangxi Building as a staff dormitory, but most of the employees in the restaurant, such as Rong Daquan, have families and rooms in the capital, so naturally they don't need to live, so there are still a few empty rooms, and it is not a problem to arrange for Mei Niang's mother and son to live in.

Mei Niang is grateful again, and she never expected to meet such a kind person.

After settling Mei Niang, Ning Xi went to the kitchen to prepare to be a duck, Xiao Ze lived up to the expectations of the assessment of Bailu Academy, and now he has been enrolled for three days, and today is just the day of rest, and he can go home for half a day.

This kid loves to eat duck meat, and it doesn't have to be made by Ning Xi himself, it's just that he only comes back three times a month, and he doesn't spend the night at home, he only eats a lunch and stays for half a day before he goes back to the academy, Ning Xi feels that it is really hard for such a young child to board and study, so every time he comes back, he has to make a favorite dish for him to treat.

First picked a fat duck and asked the handyman to take it to slaughter, the handyman responded, and when he mentioned the fat duck, he was going to find hot water, Ning Xi hurriedly said: "Don't be busy blanching and removing the hair after bloodshed, and after slaughtering, you must first break the stomach and remove the dirty, otherwise the dirty gas will sink into the meat and reduce the umami." ”

The miscellaneous servant was embarrassed: "Ning Dongjia, after this slaughter, all the hairs stand up tightly, how can it be easy to pluck the hair?" ”

Ning Xi smiled, found half a bowl of spirits, and asked the handyman to pour the wine into the duck's mouth, and the duck looked dazed after a while, and his standing was unsteady, swaying, and the handyman was surprised: "Ouch, this duck is really drunk." ”

Ning Xi said: "So this hair is easy to pull, take it!" ”

The handyman happily went: "I didn't expect such a good way." ”

After the handyman peeled and washed the fat duck, Ning Xi cut off the head and neck of the fat duck, and cut the white lotus seeds, red glutinous rice, chicken head rice, and pitted red dates with the skin and bitter core, and then cut a few slices of ham that she had just made, all of which were stuffed into the fat duck's belly, and finally sewed the whole duck's belly densely with needles and threads, and immersed the whole duck into the spice sauce.

After an hour, take out the whole body and coat it with ginger juice and honey, then put it on a charcoal fire until the whole duck skin turns golden brown, and then put it in a casserole and simmer it with the sea cucumber cubes until it is ripe.

"Ningxi, what did you do this time?" Meng Shuangshuang grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and asked while watching her make melon seeds.

"Honey duck, lotus seeds nourish the heart and calm the nerves, glutinous rice and red dates strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the blood and calm the nerves, Ozawa studies hard in the academy on weekdays, and he is going to make up for it." Ning Xi responded. "It's really not too troublesome for you to cook, if you want me, put it all in one pot and stew it, where is it impatient to fill and sew, roast and stew like this."

"It's troublesome, then don't eat it at all, anyway, I'll still be hungry after this meal."

Meng Shuangshuang grinned: "That's not good, it won't be too troublesome to eat me." ”

Ning Xi's next stuffed eggs are more troublesome, put the duck eggs into the boiling water and blanch them slightly, estimate that the egg whites inside are just cooked, and take out the egg yolk when it is still thin, dig a small hole at one end of the eggshell, pour out the egg yolk, and then pour in the chopped ham and mushroom shoot filling, and re-steam it in the pot.

When you eat it, peel the shell and slice it, and then pour it with a special sauce, which is extremely delicious.

Just like all parents who have children boarding at home, they are afraid that their children will not be able to eat enough and not be warm, and as soon as the children come back, they will desperately make him good food, Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang are no exception, the two of them gathered around Xiao Ze, watching him eat sweetly one bite after another, and their hearts were also full of relief.

"Ozawa, how is the gentleman from the academy? Is it fierce? Meng Shuangshuang asked.

"The gentleman is very knowledgeable and kind to us, but he ......," Ozawa said and suddenly laughed.

Meng Shuangshuang said nervously: "Just what? ”

"My classmates are complaining that the food at the college is extremely unpalatable."

"Really? That's hard for you, let me see, you're really hungry and thin. Meng Shuangshuang touched his little brother's head distressedly.

Xiao Ze smiled: "Eldest sister, I have only been to the academy for three days, how can I be hungry and lose weight so quickly, besides, I am not the kind of person who picks his mouth, I can eat anything, and I don't feel embarrassed." ”

"Then we can usually make something delicious for you, can't we?" Meng Shuangshuang felt that they could eat and drink spicy food every day with Ningxi, but the younger brother was suffering in the academy, which was really a bit uneasy.

"Yes, my classmates sometimes let the little guy go outside to buy some food and go back to the tooth sacrifice." Xiao Ze said casually, most of his classmates in the academy are the children of powerful people, those sons and brothers have been pampered since childhood, and no one has ever expected them to be able to take care of the trivial things of life by themselves, so they naturally have to take the little ones with them.

Fortunately, Ozawa is a pure person, and he goes to the academy to study wholeheartedly, and he has never had any comparison mentality, and he doesn't feel that he is inferior to others.

Ning Xi remembered that in her previous life, she had a niece in the family, who also went to boarding school at a young age, and she could only go home once a week.

I still remember that my little niece and her school management was strict, and students were not allowed to go out of the school gate, but this could not curb their yearning for food, and there were often some vendors pushing carts outside the school walls, deliberately making a strong aroma to attract students, and there were always students who smelled the wind and handed out money from the cracks in the railings to buy. By the time the school's security guards found out and rushed to chase them away, the students and vendors had already run away without a trace.

A thought suddenly popped up in Ning Xi's heart: "Xiao Ze, what if you set up a stall outside your academy to sell food?" ”

Ozawa said happily: "This is naturally good, although classmates can let the little girl go out to buy food, but according to the regulations of the college, there is still a limit to the number and time of the little girl's outing, so you can't buy it often, if it is near the academy, you don't have to go far to buy it, then it must be bought by many people, especially the things made by the second sister are so delicious, I'm afraid even the gentlemen can't help it!" ”

"Ning Xi, you don't really plan to go back to your old business and set up a stall next to Xiao Ze's academy, right?" Meng Shuangshuang couldn't figure it out, "We all have restaurants, why do you have to suffer that hardship, even if you really feel sorry for Xiao Ze, just make delicious food on weekdays and let people send it to him, you don't have to go there to set up a stall!" ”

Ozawa also said: "Yes, second sister, there is no need for this, I just said that my classmates complained that the food was unpalatable, and I don't think so." ”

Ning Xi shook his hand: "It's not that I'm going to set up a stall by myself, it's just that I've been thinking about finding something to do for the newly arrived Mei Niang, what you just said just inspired me." ”

Meng Shuangshuang said: "What do you mean, let Mei Niang set up this stall?" ”

"yes, what do you think?"

"I don't think it's good, she just came, how do you know what kind of person she is, what if she is like that Feng Zhihai, a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised?"

Ning Xi thought thoughtfully: "I don't think so, besides, I'm not afraid." ”

"Okay, then you can do it!" Meng Shuangshuang knew that Ning Xi looked like she was still a little girl, but in fact, she had a big idea, once she decided what she wanted to do, no one could stop her, and besides, their lives were indeed getting better and better these days, which showed that Ning Xi's decision would not be wrong.

The matter of setting up a stall, Ning Xi didn't say anything about it first, but asked some about Xiao Ze's study and living conditions with concern, Xiao Ze was full of confidence, and told them that he would definitely be able to pass this year's children's exam, Meng Shuangshuang was very happy, and stuffed him with a bulging money bag, so that he could spend it when he should spend it, and don't wronged himself.

Xiao Ze only took out two pieces of broken silver from it and put them in his arms, and returned the rest to Meng Shuangshuang for her to put away: "I have food and clothing in the academy, I don't need to spend any money, it's inconvenient to bring too much on my body, so the eldest sister will help me collect it first." ”

Meng Shuangshuang pinched him: "It's really a good boy, that's right, don't learn from those fools." ”

Ning Xi packed a box of stuffed eggs she had made before and brought them back to the academy, you can peel them and eat them when you are hungry when you study at night, or you can give them to your classmates, it is important to bury yourself in reading, but the relationship with your classmates must also be good, these classmates will be excellent contacts in the future, if Xiao Ze really wants to take the entrance examination and take the official career, these help is really indispensable!
