Chapter 50, the snarky old woman
Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro had no choice but to continue to light the fire, but at this time, the firewood became wetter than before, and they couldn't repeat the old trick and raise the fire again.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, and they turned their heads to see that it was Chu Haoge who was running over, and at this moment he was holding the starlight giant sword, vigilantly looking at the dynamics around him, and making sufficient defenses.
"Chu Haoge, why are you here?" Murong Xiaoyan saw Chu Haoge running in a hurry, and asked a little strangely, and then saw Chu Haoge's appearance and couldn't help but "flutter" and be happy.
At this time, Chu Haoge was disgraced, his clothes were full of dust, and his hair was messy, like a beggar who was out of business.
It's just that Murong Xiaoyan didn't pay attention to herself and Jiuli Qianyao, because the flames suddenly burst out just now, their clothes were blackened, and their faces were also a little black and gray, and she wiped the sweat with her hands before, and now she caught up with the little mud child.
"Flutter" This time it was Murong Xiaoyan and Chu Haoge who laughed out loud at the same time, "How did you make it like this?" "How did you get this way?"
After hearing what the other party said, they were both stunned, and said in unison, "Your face! "What's wrong with my face?" Immediately, they all reacted, and at this time, I was afraid that my face would not be much better than the other party, so I hurriedly wiped it with my hands.
Jiu Li Qiantaro didn't care about the two of them, but knew that his face might be dirty, so he pinched a water method and carefully washed his face, and the originally cool water turned dirty gray.
"You taro!" As soon as Murong Xiaoyan turned around, he saw Jiuli Qiantaro who had just washed his face, and exclaimed, "You are too cunning!" As she spoke, she reached over with one hand and wiped it Jiuli Qiantaro's face, leaving her with a black mark.
"You!" Jiuli Qiantaro loves cleanliness very much, and as soon as she washed her face, she was soiled by Murong Xiaoyan again, how could she not be angry? casually condensed a water balloon and smashed it towards Murong Xiaoyan's face.
Jiuli Qiantaro's reaction was not slow, her body was much faster than Chu Haoge and Jiuli Qiantaro, and she dodged sideways.
It didn't matter if she dodged like this, but Chu Haoge in the back suffered, and the water balloon "snapped" and slapped Chu Haoge's face fiercely, and his face and some of his hair became dripping.
"Jiuli girl...... You ......" Chu Haoge was stunned by this, and looked at Jiuli Qiantaro in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Don't get me wrong, Gongzi Chu, I saw that your face was dirty, so I will help you wash it with a water condensation method." Jiu Li Qiantaro saw that she smashed the wrong person, but there was no trace of guilt on her face, in her opinion, there was no difference between smashing Chu Haoge and smashing Murong Xiaoyan, but she still had to find a reason to prevaricate on her face.
"Oh......" After Chu Haoge wiped the water off his face, it was really clean.
Jiuli Qiantaro on the side washed her face lightly again, and then quietly took a step back, away from Murong Xiaoyan, it seemed that she was afraid that Murong Xiaoyan would rub black ash on her face again.
"......" Murong Xiaoyan saw that the situation was not right, and said with a discussion in his tone: "Qiantaro...... Do you still have water? ”
"Nope." Jiuli Qiantaro refused, and stopped caring with her.
"Cut." Murong Xiaoyan glanced at Jiuli Qiantaro and muttered in a low voice, "Stingy ghost." ”
"Hey, Chu Haoge, come over here." Murong Xiaoyan beckoned Chu Haoge on the side to come over.
"Oh." Chu Haoge didn't think too much about it, so he walked over and asked her, "What's wrong Murong?" ”
Murong Xiaoyan didn't speak, his body moved suddenly, and his two hands slapped Chu Haoge's face fiercely, making a crisp sound of "pop", and then Murong Xiaoyan's hand didn't leave, and wiped it on his face fiercely.
"Oops!" Chu Haoge was shocked, and it took a lot of effort to push her away, and said with a depressed face: "Murong, what are you doing?" As he spoke, he wiped his face with his hand, and saw that his hands were covered with black ash, but he knew what Murong Xiaoyan was doing just now.
Murong Xiaoyan squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "I saw that you looked a little white face before, but now it's okay." ”
"I ......"
After a while, Murong Xiaoyan and Chu Haoge washed away the black ash on their faces, and it was almost dark at this time.
"Chu Haoge, have you packed up everything over there in the firewood room?" Murong Xiaoyan also washed his dirty sleeves by the way, and asked him.
"Hmm." Chu Haoge nodded, stretched, moved his muscles, and said weakly, "Alas." It's almost, I'm tired from a busy afternoon. ”
"I wanted to rest for a while." Chu Haoge glanced at Murong Xiaoyan and said, "You suddenly screamed so loudly, I thought that the old woman had attacked you again, so I hurried over...... By the way, what are you doing? ”
Hearing Chu Haoge's words, Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro's faces turned red, and they couldn't say that the scream before was because the two of them almost burned down the house when they were on fire, it was really a shame to throw them home.
"We're cooking...... Murong Xiaoyan said embarrassedly.
"Cooking?" Chu Haoge looked at the ingredients a little strangely, and they were put into the pot before they were cut, "Why don't you put this dish in the pot without cutting it?" ”
"......" Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro didn't speak, Jiuli Qiantaro hadn't cooked before, only knew that the dishes were to be put in the pot to be burned, but they didn't know how to cut them......
"Ugh." Chu Haoge shook his head and took out all the dishes in the pot, if this was the whole dish for the old woman at that time, then she wouldn't have to lift the table?
Chu Haoge glanced back at Jiuli Qiantaro, he usually felt that she was very knowledgeable, what he didn't know, Jiuli Qiantaro seemed to know, but she didn't know how to cook the simplest of things, which reminded Chu Haoge of a sentence: "Master doesn't know grains." ”
Turning his head and looking at Murong Xiaoyan again...... Not to mention her, no wonder she likes to bring so much dry food as soon as she comes out, it turns out that she has never even touched the cooking utensils.
"Chu Haoge, you came just in time, and the cooking will be handed over to you." As she spoke, she took a step back, gave Chu Haoge a place and said, "By the way, we have already washed the dishes." ”
When Jiu Li Qiantaro heard this, she was really a little embarrassed, and turned her face away, not looking at Chu Haoge's expression.
"Alas......" Chu Haoge sighed and said, "There is no other way." "Feelings: These two people have been busy for so long, and they haven't done anything except washing vegetables.
I looked back at Jiuli Qiantaro again, and said yes, I'm afraid that the vegetables are still washed by the Jiuli Qiantaro method.
went to the side to chop vegetables, and muttered while chopping vegetables: "Always use me as a cook." ”
Jiuli Qiantaro didn't leave, just stood on the side, she had to learn how to use this cooking utensils, otherwise she would be embarrassed next time, and Murong Xiaoyan saw that Jiuli Qiantaro didn't leave, so she had to stand aside and watch with Jiuli Qiantaro.
Chu Haoge's movements were very quick, and he cut the vegetables after a while.
Because he used to be greedy, he always went to the imperial dining room to steal food, and the imperial chefs didn't dare to drive him away, so they could only pretend not to see it, Chu Haoge wanted to eat a little more, and it didn't take much trouble, until for a while, Chu Haoge ran to the imperial dining room almost all day long, and also learned some cooking skills, and later the emperor's uncle thought that he was in love with this kid, which princess did he fall in love with, and he was happy for a while, saying that no matter which princess Chu Haoge fell in love with, he would tell the matchmaker.
Later, Uncle Huang also felt that something was wrong, the time he saw Chu Haoge's kid, he didn't have even a little rouge or femininity on his body, but his face was rounder than before.
So the emperor's uncle sent someone to follow him until he went to the imperial dining room, and then he realized that this kid had a crush on some kind of girl, and he simply went to steal food every day, but the emperor's uncle was angry.
There is a special menu in the palace, which is to maintain a balanced nutrition, he is so old to run to the imperial dining room, no wonder he is so much fatter than before, besides, there is an old saying: "A gentleman is far away from cooking." "What's the matter with him running into the kitchen all the time? found an opportunity to call Chu Haoge to the imperial study and scolded him, and those imperial chefs were also punished, and since then, Chu Haoge has never dared to go to the imperial dining room again.
Because today's meal is for four people, I can't just make one dish, so I take some ingredients and prepare to make three or four home-cooked dishes.
"I said, 'Why are you standing?' Chu Haoge was so busy that he couldn't wait to give birth to a few more arms, but he saw that Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro were still watching stupidly, "Come and help." ”
Hearing Chu Haoge beckoning them for help, he stepped forward, but he didn't know what to do for a while, Murong Xiaoyan asked, "...... What are you going to do? ”
"Raise the fire first." Chu Haoge said while busy, and went to get some meat from the kitchen, and cut it open, if it was all vegetarian, even if the three of them didn't feel anything, I don't know if the old woman would be unhappy.
When Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro heard that they were going to make a fire again, they all stood in place, no one moved, Chu Haoge looked back, their faces turned blue, and they didn't say a word.
"What's wrong with you?" Chu Haoge didn't know why they looked like this, because he hadn't seen the two of them on fire before.
"Except...... Is there anything else you need help with starting a fire? Murong Xiaoyan asked.
"Washing rice......" As soon as Chu Haoge's words fell, Murong Xiaoyan interrupted him and said, "Well, then I'll wash rice." ”
Jiu Li Qianyao on the side said very calmly: "I'll help." ”
"......" Chu Haoge is the first time he has heard of washing rice, and two people are needed.
Shaking his head helplessly, Chu Haoge had to go and make a fire by himself, when he squatted down and looked at the firewood, Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro both turned their heads to look at him, they really wanted to see how Chu Haoge started the fire.
"Huh?" Chu Haoge sighed lightly and muttered to himself, "Why is this pile of firewood wet?" As he spoke, he looked at Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qianyao with a strange expression.
"......" The two of them felt him look at it, and quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to know anything.
Chu Haoge had to change some dry firewood before the fire was lit.
They looked at the way Chu Haoge made a fire, and then it suddenly dawned on them that they were going to use flint to light the paper on the side first, and then use the burned paper to ignite the pyre...... They didn't know what the paper was for, and they thought it was for memorizing recipes.
"What's wrong?" Feeling the gaze of the two, Chu Haoge turned his head and looked at him strangely.
"It's nothing ......" Murong Xiaoyan hurriedly waved his hand and said.
Jiuli Qiantaro on the side handed the washed rice to Chu Haoge and said, "Young Master Chu, the rice is washed...... How else can you help? ”
"No ......" Chu Haoge shook his head, these two people basically couldn't help much, so let the two of them stand on the side, put the rice on the stove, he hammered his waist, today he was really tired, he didn't rest for so many days, and cleaned up the firewood room for an afternoon, and finally felt that he could rest for a while, and he had to come to cook.
"Chu Haoge, or I'll help you beat your back." Murong Xiaoyan saw that Chu Haoge was tired enough, and he couldn't bear it.
"......" He glanced back at Murong Xiaoyan, and said in his heart: "Murong won't give me a hammer to fall apart after this fist?" Hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, no, I'm afraid that you will punch me in the stove." ”
"You!" Murong Xiaoyan was originally kind-hearted, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by Chu Haoge, and said viciously: "If you don't need it, you won't need it, you'll be tired to death!" ”
Long......
The aroma of the food had already come out, and Murong and Jiuli Qiantaro had never tasted it, they only felt that the fragrance of the food was good, and Murong Xiaoyan's stomach had secretly "gurgled" a few times.
Murong Xiaoyan rushed to the vegetable pot and walked forward, looking like a hungry ghost, but was stopped by Chu Haoge and said, "Murong, what are you doing?" You don't want to steal it, do you? ”
"I ......" Murong Xiaoyan was grabbed by Chu Haoge's wrist, "I don't have it, I'll take a look at ......" said, reluctantly glanced at the food in the pot, and stepped aside.
"Well......" There was a voice outside, and the three of them looked at it, and the person who came was the old woman, who was standing at the door with a smile on her face, and said, "It's so fragrant, I don't know how it tastes." ”
Rubbing her hands, she left on crutches, stopped in the courtyard, and said, "Bring it up quickly, or I will faint from hunger, old woman, and it will be your trip that will be delayed." So saying, she sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.
The three of ......them were speechless for a while, and they couldn't help but sigh at the scoundrel of this old woman.
"Jiuli girl, Murong, help serve the food." Chu Haoge took out the dish and said to the two people on the side.
"Hmm." "Okay." They answered, and brought the dishes out, and then Chu Haoge served four more bowls of rice and went out with the two.
The three of them put the meal on the table, which was a four-course home-cooked meal, with vegetarian and meat, which looked quite appetizing.
"Oh, I didn't expect the two girls to even know how to cook, but this young man cooks a good dish." The old woman tasted the dish and said.
Chu Haoge heard the old woman praise him, and he was also slightly happy in his heart: "The old man has won the award." ”
It's just that the old woman's next sentence almost made him half angry: "However, this gentleman is far away from cooking, alas, it's a pity." ”
