The guards worked hard all the way back from Beilang Mountain, and specially sent gifts to Qingyin Pavilion, and the gifts were still flattering.

There's no reason for him to just go!

Even if there is no good food, as long as there is no shortage of ingredients, a skilled chef can make some ready-made food with a casual move.

Whether it's for me or Ade, it's not difficult, it's just a matter of doing it.

The small kitchen of Qingyin Pavilion is still a place where everything is complete.

Originally, I thought of using the tsundere boy as the name to ask for ingredients, and the steward should treat him differently.

When I first assigned the task to Yuanbao and Ade, I didn't know much about the Yuwen family steward here in Suzhou East House.

About the process of purchasing, I only knew after Yuan Bao explained to Adele to me.

At the time, I was thinking that the people who controlled the purchase channels and the people who usually went in and out of the room would definitely have oil and water, and the tsundere boy didn't look like a personality who would do everything himself.

I was worried that the people in the house would embarrass Ade, and there would be problems in the connection, so I thought of an excuse early in the morning.

I reassured Adele and Yuan Bao that they would help me with my errands, and the risk would inevitably be borne by me, the person who proposed the idea.

The results were clearly not what I expected.

Because I heard Yuan Bao say that the ingredients sent by the big kitchen are far more than the ones I wrote down when I made the list, there are others.

It was sent to the small kitchen of Qingyin Pavilion together, including the specialties and dry goods from Suzhou.

Not only that, but even the rare ingredients that came all the way to Suzhou in the big kitchen were also picked up and sent to Qingyin Pavilion.

Even if they don't come in handy in a big kitchen.

Look, the name of the tsundere boy is easy to use!

Could it be that the steward ran over to him directly? Are you sure you want to go to Qingyin Pavilion for dinner?

They won't, they won't, they don't have the guts. There's no need for that.

With Adele's skills, she certainly does more than just make a few of the foods we taste.

When I looked at her, I reminded her that it was not rude to let the guards go like this.

Regardless of whether there is ready-made food to eat, it is also feasible to make some temporarily.

"Yes, Childe, the slave and maid made scones. Go get it right away. ”

Adele understood, grinned at me, and answered me crisply.

I told the guards to wait. also asked Yuan Bao to pour some tea for him.

The cold night came, and it was too hard to run all the way!

He stood there and drank in one gulp, without gasping for breath in between.

It didn't take long. Adele went and returned. As she entered, I caught a look of anticipation in the guard's eyes.

Adele brought back from the kitchen a plate of scones and gently placed them on the table.

Freshly baked, piping hot scones.

This is the first time I've tasted this in Sealand, and it brings back memories of before the crossing!

The scones made by Adele are actually similar to a famous snack somewhere before the crossing.

Before the Qingming Festival, the fragrant green vegetables are also called snow mushrooms, and the names are different in various places.

Only the choy sum is dried and salted in a small jar.

Wait until the marinade is ripe and remove. Dry and steam under the sun, repeating many times. Until the color is red and bright, the aroma is tangy, and finally put it into the jar and seal.

The scones made by Adele add diced pork belly and winter bamboo shoots when adjusting the filling, and the aroma is overflowing when you bite into it.

Of course, the guards had heard of Adele's craft.

Naturally, she also knew that she was the exclusive chef who cooked the meals of the third young master of the Yuwen family at this time, but how embarrassing was it to ask him to eat in Qingyin Pavilion in a big way!

Yes, he stayed there in embarrassment, and his hands and feet were a little at a loss.

I saw him standing awkwardly at the door, and I couldn't help but laugh, and exchanged glances with Ade, who was smiling.

Then, the guard happily took the scones that Adele had packed for him in the box and left.

A big box of scones, not only can he eat himself, but he can also share it with others!

Yuan Bao and I have tasted Adele's craftsmanship, and after I ate it, I said to Adele: "The filling in this cake can be replaced with different types." ”

Ah Dai said knowingly: "If the Yuwen family comes to Suzhou in the future, vegetarians, you can make some vegetarian scones for them." ”

"Ade, how many times have you done this?" I asked her softly.

"It's the second time," Adele replied to me, "Childe, I didn't think it was particularly delicious last time, but this time the difference is that I used dried vegetables, and the taste is obviously different." ”

"You've got it right by mistake!" I looked down and thought about it, but I couldn't hold back a smile.

So, sometimes it's so coincidental, unexpected!

She hadn't tasted anything I had eaten before the crossing, but that didn't stop her from having a lot of ideas and experiments

Yuan Bao re-boiled the tea on the small red clay stove, and lit a charcoal basin in the house, which was hot and smoked, and it was easy to feel dry mouth. "Childe, this", Yuan Bao didn't finish speaking, he pointed to the cage on the ground and looked at me, his eyes hesitant, as if waiting for me to decide.

It can be seen that his sister Adele also likes this little rabbit with snow-white coats.

After the guards left, it didn't take long for Adei to walk to the rabbit's cage several times to watch it, just looking at her eyes.

Many girls have no resistance to such cute pets.

I turned my head and stared at it for a while, then turned my face to Yuan Bao and smiled faintly: "Let's keep it in Qingyin Pavilion for the time being, and when I leave Suzhou, let Adei take it over." ”

Ade, who was squatting by the rabbit cage, looked up at me and immediately smiled.

Yuan Bao interjected a sentence on the side: "Childe, how did the third young master of our family come up with the idea of sending this to Qingyin Pavilion?" ”

"So what's going to go?" I looked at him and asked in the same hesitant tone.

"Brother may want to say, it's best to send some hunted game, there are a lot of wild beasts on Beilang Mountain," Ah Dai's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Yuan Bao and said, "Every time I go back to hunt, the third young master always has a lot of gains, brother, he is thinking about that stuttering!" ”

Adele looked at me with a grin. "The third young master is probably afraid that the son will feel too lonely to stay in Qingyin Pavilion, so catch a little rabbit to let you have a pastime."

I nodded.

The battlefield here is handed over to the two of them, and one is responsible for cleaning up. The other is responsible for feeding the bunnies.

I continued to go upstairs and finish what I hadn't done yet

At night in the mountains, the boy stopped on the mountain road on horseback.

The terrain of Beilang Mountain is complex, and there is a fork in the road in front of you, which leads to different places.

He hesitated, then dismounted.

The two guards who followed behind each other glanced at each other, and both dismounted.

Although the two follow different masters. But when it came to the tracking task, the two of them looked at it quite tacitly.

For example, I looked at the imprints on the mountain road before, and I wanted to figure out which path Miss Hua took in the end.

After a few moments, the teenager came to a conclusion. This time, the direction he decided was to cross a small hill in Beilang Mountain.

To the north, you will find an open field close to the river beach.

The river north of Beilang Mountain is not the big river in the south of Suzhou that leads directly to the north, but is equivalent to a branch of the river.

It meets the river to the south. It is also connected to the river that runs through the city in Suzhou. Head north all the way back to the end, and you will reach the cliff and waterfall.

This season, the Northland is already snowing heavily and the rivers are frozen.

Although Suzhou City is also very cold, it is still better than the north, so the river has not yet frozen.

This tributary is connected to the foot of the mountain and has a huge clearing.

If you want to go there from the outskirts of Suzhou City, there is more than one trail you can take.

Almost all of them have to go through dense forest mountain roads. The road is rough.

This kind of terrain is the most testing of the sense of orientation.

If you are not familiar with the terrain in this area, it is easy to come to a fork in the road. Disoriented in the mountains.

Once you enter the mountains, you can't get out easily, and it is possible to be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.

"Third Young Master!" The guard who followed beside him asked, "What is Miss Hua doing in the wasteland over there?" ”

Because that area is deserted, very few people have set foot in it, and now the direction of the carriage is actually in that direction, uh, it seems to be getting stranger and stranger!

I can't understand that the eldest lady of the adult family wants to go hunting on a whim.

If you talk about hunting, it must be the mountains and forests near the Yuwenjia Horse Farm that are more suitable.

You can still stay at the foot of the mountain, you can prepare before hunting up the mountain, and you can stop after hunting and come down the mountain to clean up and rest.

Why bother to come to the barren mountains of this area?

Besides, when Miss Hua left the mansion in the east of Suzhou City, she did not come on horseback, but in a carriage.

Ride in a carriage - what kind of hunting are you!

The young man frowned and said, "I don't know, I might be able to find out if I go over and see." ”

He didn't see the specific situation, he didn't want to make a judgment for the time being, and all conclusions had to be based on sufficient evidence, or what he saw and heard with his own eyes

I went to the Qingyin attic and opened the packet of medicinal materials I bought from the Suzhou Pharmacy during the day and examined them one by one.

Glancing at the piece of paper I had listed, the names that gave me a headache, and so on, and so on.

Now is the first step to be done.

But what is missing upstairs, I turned around, sighed and shook my head helplessly, it seems that I still have to go to the small kitchen of Qingyin Pavilion.

There are all kinds of tools, and it is more convenient to use water and fire.

When making a list for Yuanbao, on the surface, he was asked to buy the utensils in the kitchen, but in fact, some of them were common to pharmacies.

It can be used on both sides, and it is easy to use, and I think it is very clear.

When I came down from upstairs, the diligent ingots had already cleaned up the house.

He had always been very fast, and now he and Adele were both gathered around the cage and watched the hare coming down from the mountain.

Hearing the footsteps, the two of them immediately raised their heads and looked at me, and Adele was still holding a small piece of radish in her hand.

Yuanbao's eyes swept over the bag I was carrying, and he suddenly stood up and greeted him and asked, "Childe, is it the medicinal herb I bought during the day?" ”

He followed me into the street, but while he was buying the medicine for me, he was buying the utensils that were missing from the kitchen, but it was the guard, Ah Lai, who followed me from beginning to end.

Even what happened at the pharmacy was clear.

When Yuan Bao saw me coming down with a bag, he recognized it as a bag containing medicinal herbs, so he asked.

"No, that's right, but for now I need to use the kitchenette."

I explained to him, "But I have a request, you two try not to come and disturb me." "There's something for me," I added, after some thought, "just knock on the kitchen door and I'll hear you." “

"Childe, you are, you want to make medicinal food?" Adele suddenly looked at me and asked, "The slave can help you." ”

The medicinal herbs are linked to the medicinal diet, no wonder Adele guesses, because the operation location is in the kitchen!

I raised my hand and touched my forehead and said, "No, you misunderstood, these herbs are useful to me, but they are not used for food." ”

"Sister," Yuan Bao tugged at Ade's sleeve and said, "Childe knows it, let's just stay here without asking." ”

I swept my eyes, nodded approvingly at Yuanbao and said, "I want to say that you guys are not fine." ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "Steward Fu took someone out to inquire about the news, but he hasn't come back yet." ”

I looked at the two of them one after the other, and said affirmatively, "You two are going to stay here." ”

"If someone comes to deliver a message by the curved bridge, go up and answer it."

"Miscellaneous people, or sending things, you two just watch and deal with it, don't use it to find me."

As soon as my tone changed, I said solemnly: "But if the Fu steward comes back after hearing the news, or sends someone from below to inform me, you must come to the small kitchen in time to call me." ”

"Right now, I'm more concerned about that."

"No problem." The two of them nodded in unison and said, "Don't worry, Childe." ”

"Of course, don't worry, you two brothers and sisters are very reliable in doing things."

I smiled and walked all the way to the small kitchen of Qingyin Pavilion with the bag full of medicinal herbs

Adei looked at the figure that disappeared outside the door, looked back at Yuanbao, and said with a puzzled look: "Brother, what's the matter with Childe?" ”

"He knows the art of medicine." Yuan Bao said simply.

Ade's eyes widened in surprise, and after a while, she suddenly said: "So I can save the third young master of our family, the son is really amazing!" ”

"Needless to say!"

When Yuan Bao heard this, although it was from the mouth of his sister, this compliment sounded honorable!

Because right now, he's also a part of the Qingyin Pavilion!

"It's not a place where anyone can live here, can that Miss Hua family?"

Yuan Bao said with emotion: "She hasn't even entered the door of Qingyin Pavilion, why is she staying with her son, of course, because the third young master values him." ”

Adai agreed with her: "What about the life-saving grace, if the elders of the Yuwen family are here, they will definitely reward the son." ”

"I don't know how much silver I will give to my son!"

"Hey, brother," Ah Dai leaned closer to Yuanbao and whispered, "Since that's the case, when the son leaves Suzhou, won't our third young master express his heart?" ”

Ah Dai lowered her head and pondered: "Childe said that he would go to the Northland to prepare the things he brought, as if the money was not enough, he seemed to be quite embarrassed." (To be continued......)
