Chapter 138: Check-in

Well? What is the meaning? It's okay to be clear, my sister is not good at dumb riddles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"That old man, I don't have time to chat with you right now. I still have to cook, and there are a few older brothers in the school waiting for me to feed. Xia Cao said.

After saying that, Xia Cao didn't care what happened to the old man, walked to the kitchen, and began to wash vegetables and cook.

I bought a big carp today and will make a braised carp later. The carp was tied to a straw rope and was still struggling with it.

Natsukusa pressed the fish on the chopping board, "Smack!" "First of all, I stunned the fish, then I slapped it, cut it, and shaved its gills, and the action was like a flowing cloud, I don't know how many times I practiced it. The next step is to marinate it with wine and ginger.

Today I am lucky to buy beef, cattle are rarely slaughtered, the price of a pound of beef can be three times more expensive than pork, often there is still a price but no market, money is not necessarily eaten.

Beef is good with bitter gourd, and as soon as it gets hot in summer, it's good to have a bitter gourd to cool them down.

However, Xia Cao thought that the second brother was funny when he touched the bitter gourd's bitter gourd face, and the second brother loved the dishes she cooked, but he couldn't accept the bitter gourd. Stir-fry another pork belly, stewed pork ribs and winter melon soup is almost the same.

Calculating today's dish combinations, Xia Cao was busy, "Hey, where are the pig's ears?" ”

Xia Cao found that there seemed to be something missing, she specially bought a pig ear to make a cold pork ear, for her brother to satisfy his hunger, why is it gone, should it be that she was in a hurry to hide from the strange old man just now and forgot to bring it.

Xia Cao looked for her memory and walked to the shop in front of her, and found that the strange old man hadn't left yet, and was pestle on her mattress like a pillar, and the shopkeeper on the side looked at him with an embarrassed face.

"Old man, why haven't you left yet, didn't you say okay, my father and mother have to come back to discuss this matter of accepting apprentices." Xia Cao felt that she had brought the trouble into the house, and it was necessary to come forward to get rid of the trouble.

"Didn't I give you ten taels of silver just now? You take it to the guest house, and it's enough to stay for a while. Xia Cao said patiently.

After buying the clothes just now, she gave the old man ten taels of silver, which is enough to be benevolent and righteous.

The old man's fierce face was pestled in the store, which really affected her family's business, and when she saw such a scarred face, most people were evasive, and where did they come in to choose a mattress.

"I'll stay with you until your father and mother come back." The old man with Scar said the longest sentence. Maybe he hasn't spoken for a long time, and he spit out word by word, looking unusually serious.

Is this on me? Xia Cao muttered in her heart. Now she can't beat it, this old man looks very sad, no matter, then let him live for a few days, wait for the Dragon Boat Festival to go to the county seat, and deal with it for my father.

"Aunt Wu, you go boil hot water and bathe this old gentleman." Xia Cao beckoned the shopkeeper's wife and said.

The shopkeeper's family all signed a deed of sale, and they were domestic slaves before Li Weicai, and then they were sent to the county seat to watch the small shop. Xia Cao and his family have too many secrets, and they don't like to have too many outsiders, so they haven't bought anyone in six years. As for the family's more than a dozen acres of fields and barren mountains, they are all hired to help take care of the village.

Xia Cao can't be said to be their serious master, but the Xia family and the Li family have a close relationship, and it is normal to call for it. Aunt Wu put down her work and went into the kitchen to help boil water.

"Old man, wait a minute, you can go and freshen up and take a bath, change the dirty clothes on your body, and wear the new clothes we just bought." Xia Cao said in detail that she was really afraid that this old man with Alzheimer's disease would not be able to remember, so she spoke very slowly.

Naturally, I decided to become a virgin and help others support the old people who ran away from home. Naturally, it was decided that you should do your best, this is the view that my father instilled in the three of them since childhood, to do it, we must do our best, not just not do it.

In the past few days, he has provided this old man with good food, drink, clothing, and housing, and seeing that she is so good, he shouldn't take out another dagger to scare her, Xia Cao thought comfortingly.

After coaxing the old man to take a bath, Xia Cao returned to the kitchen to continue her cooking business.

Xia Cao also deliberately boiled a pot of preserved eggs and lean porridge, of course, she made this preserved egg herself. It is made of eggs laid by self-raised pheasants, which is absolutely natural and pollution-free.

However, their chickens have just laid the first batch of eggs, so the amount is not very large, and she has brought more than a hundred from home, and these still have to be left for Brother Bai and their family to give gifts.

The eldest brother doesn't like big fish and meat as much as the second brother on weekdays, and this porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat is still quite suitable for her. Xia Cao would never admit that when she was accused of being too indifferent to her eldest brother today, she was a little weak-hearted.

From childhood to adulthood, the eldest brother has no desires and no pickiness, so she takes it for granted that the eldest brother is too strong and doesn't need them to do anything at all, but they always consult with the eldest brother whenever they have something.

In terms of eating in the future, it seems that it should also be balanced, and prepare more of the eldest brother's portion.

Xia Cao made dinner, kept one for herself, and put the rest in a basket and sent it to the school to feed.

"Hungry" When the summer grass was loading the basket, an old voice floated from the kitchen door.

It turned out that the strange old man took a bath and put on new clothes, as long as he didn't look at his face, he was still the same as an ordinary old man.

"The old man is hungry, and there is still some porridge left in the kitchen, and you can drink it yourself. I still have to go to the school to deliver food, so I won't accompany you. Xia Cao explained, and left with the basket in one hand.

The distance between the home and the school is not far away, and Xia Cao did not call a carriage, and when she trained before, she carried a bucket on the side.

Because Xia Cao and the strange old man were entangled and delayed for some time, the young gangs in Wusu Town had already stood at the door of the school and waited, the one who looked through the autumn water.

"Sister Xiacao, why are you late again!"

"You told my sister to even prepare your portions, it must be very hard, and it will take a long time." Xia Maihe said with a distressed look on his sister's face.

"Qiao Mu, you take care of Mai He. He also wanted to eat alone, and he didn't know at all that he would be blessed and enjoy the same hardships. ”

……

Xia Qiaomu also came to the door of the school now, he mainly had something to say to Xia Cao, tomorrow the school will be on holiday, today my father and mother are not in the county, and she is a little girl at night, and it is not good to meet any bad people.

Xia Cao walked slowly with two baskets, in fact, she also wanted to run as much as she could, but after all, it was a little indecent, and this thought flashed.

"Xiaocao, here!" Sharp-eyed teenagers can always see summer grass at first sight.

Xia Cao first carried the basket of fish and meat to the greedy teenagers, and then carried the small basket of porridge and walked to Xia Qiaomu.

"Big brother, this is a porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork specially boiled for you. I heard the second brother say, you like to drink porridge on weekdays, the porridge in the school is too empty, it is all water, there are not many rice grains, and there is no nutrition at all. Xia Cao said. (To be continued.) )
