Chapter 8: Midnight Supper

Xinkeng for collection, ask for tickets***

The food in the main courtyard is really good, but the rules are there, Xu Yunhua can't let go of eating just because she likes to eat, she really feels guilty.

Moreover, as the second uncle who is the head of the family, once he put down the chopsticks, the rest of the people will follow and put down the chopsticks, she doesn't know if others are full or not, anyway, she is indeed not full, so as soon as she returned to her small courtyard, Xu Yunhua heard the protest from the Five Organs Temple.

"Hey, what about the dim sum, why is the dim sum in this box missing?"

As soon as Xu Yunhua entered the room, she opened the snack box on the table, but found that it was empty and there was nothing, so she hurriedly asked Qing'er why.

"Girl, you forgot, you didn't eat the dim sum yesterday, and when you had breakfast this morning, you still had rice porridge and ate all the remaining dim sum dregs."

Since the girl fell into the water not long ago, her personality and temperament and habits are very different from the past, not only love to talk and laugh, but also work 'eating', but I don't know how many times more than before, others may not be able to see it, but as a maid who serves closely, Qing'er is very clear.

At first, Qing'er also felt strange, but slowly she found that the current girl was better than the girl who liked to keep everything in her heart before, and she was also better for herself, so Qing'er happily accepted the change of her master.

"Look at my brain, why is it getting worse and worse." Xu Yunhua playfully stuck out her tongue, in fact, it was not how delicious the dim sum was, but she felt that the amount of each meal here was too small, and if she didn't come to add a meal, she wouldn't be full at all.

"Is there anything else you can eat in the kitchen?"

"If you go back to the girl, there is nothing ready to eat, but yesterday the maid made money from the fat cook in the big kitchen, and bought a few fresh vegetables and eggs, as well as the red dates and glutinous rice you wanted, all of which were placed in the small kitchen."

Although there are not many serious masters of the Xu family, they don't eat together every meal, and the rules are similar to those of ordinary big families, and every month there are only big days like the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and the whole family gathers in the dining room of the main courtyard to eat together.

Or like today, when a guest comes to the door, they will eat at the same table.

On weekdays, the three meals are prepared by the large kitchen, and the maids from each courtyard bring them back to each courtyard to eat.

For Xu Yunhua, although the second uncle and aunt are also relatives, after all, it is not as good as being in their own home, in addition to the daily set meal, if you want to eat something else, you must quietly give the silver to the steward of the big kitchen and help buy it back.

"It doesn't matter if there is no ready-made one, as long as there are ingredients, we can make it." Saying that, Xu Yunhua had already gotten up, rolled up her sleeves, and went to the small kitchen, now that her body was all right, it was no longer a problem to cook by herself

The so-called small kitchen in the courtyard is actually just a small room of less than five or six square meters, only a small stove is placed on the wall by the window, and a few simple kitchen utensils.

"Do something," Xu Yunhua said to herself.

I saw her half-bowed, pulling the vegetables in the vegetable basket in the corner of the wall, and after looking through it, she finally picked out two potatoes of about the same size in the vegetable basket.

Wash, peel, shred, put in a white porcelain bowl, beat an egg, then add sesame oil, sesame seeds, pepper, salt and chopped shallots and mix well.

A series of actions are almost done in one go, Qing'er is almost stunned when she stands aside, these days, she only knows that the girl loves to eat, but she doesn't know that the girl is so talented in cooking!

"Don't be stunned, go set up a pot and heat the oil."

"Whoa." Qing'er listened to the order and immediately carried it out.

When the oil was hot, Xu Yunhua poured the shredded potatoes that had been flavored into the pot one by one, and then heard a "bang", the fragrance slowly overflowed, and it was fried until the potato shredded cake was golden on both sides, which was done.

"Come on, let's try it together."

The master and servant returned to the house from the kitchen, Xu Yunhua carefully divided the cake into two parts, put them into small plates, and pushed one in front of Qing'er without being stingy.

"This"

Qing'er looked at the golden and fragrant potato cakes in front of her, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva, she had never eaten this before, she knew it was delicious at a glance, but how could there be a rule for a maid to eat with her master.

Xu Yunhua saw that Qing'er was not moving, so she guessed what she was thinking, so she took the initiative to say with relief, "Oh, it's okay, you just eat, just the two of us here, God knows, you know I know, is it possible that I can still sue you!" ”

Qing'er nodded happily, "Then the maid will thank the girl for rewarding." ”

While the master and servant were eating happily, they suddenly heard a 'bang' sound outside, and it sounded as if something had been kicked through.

Xu Yunhua and Qing'er turned their heads to look outside the house at the same time, but unfortunately they couldn't see anything outside in the dark.

"Girl, go out and have a look." As soon as Qing'er's voice fell, there was another "aiming" cat meow outside.

"It turned out to be a wild cat." Xu Yunhua puffed out her cheeks and continued to chew, and said vaguely, "It's okay, don't go out." ”

Qing'er smiled and teased, "Girl, it must be that the cake you made is so fragrant that even the greedy cat has been attracted." ”

"What, you sent someone to Baotao County?" In the study, a pair of eyes as dark as black jade opened slightly, and they seemed to be a little surprised.

Sitting opposite him was a girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, quite handsome, and at first glance she did not look like a lady who grew up in an ordinary boudoir.

I saw that the girl looked proud, and couldn't help but raise her chin slightly when she spoke, "Yes, what am I lying to you for, since my grandmother said that I was going to betrothal you, I made up my mind, I want to go first to see what kind of character the future sister-in-law is, what she looks like, if she is compatible with you, then it's fine, if she is not compatible with you"

"Why, if it's not a good match, what are you going to do?" The man's mouth curved out of a just right arc, and his smile was exceptionally good-looking.

The girl rolled her eyes, "I won't pity Xiangxiang and cherish the jade, if I can't do it, I will send a few people to break one of her legs, I don't think my grandfather and grandmother will force you to marry a slope, right?" ”

"You, you, why are you still like a child." The man raised his slender fingers and nodded at her, his tone full of helpless pampering.

"Big brother, let's get down to business, what about the two girls of the Xu family, aren't you curious?"
