Chapter 161: Food

It was already completely dark, but there were a few glass-covered lamps in the room, and it was very bright.

Knowing that if Fang Zi was snatched away, Xiao Yucheng and the others would never be so indifferent as they are today, Xiao Yu took a fruit and put it in his mouth, and asked, "How did you send those people away later?" ”

In fact, Xiao Yucheng could refuse Li Ying's unreasonable request.

In fact, Xiao Yucheng did speak directly to the people of the Jingnan County Royal Mansion that day: "Please forgive me for not being able to make fairy grass jelly for the Lord of Shuhui, let alone giving your mansion a recipe." ”

The person from the county king's mansion suddenly changed his face: "What do you mean?!" ”

Hao Jun, who was standing on the side, pulled out the big knife expressionlessly and slammed it on the table.

Xiao Yucheng smiled and arched his hand: "A few people are angry, listen to me first." The day before yesterday, my Xiao family just signed a contract with the newly opened Lanyue Building in the city, and in the future, fairy grass jelly and sour bamboo shoots will be exclusively for Lanyue Building, and they shall not be resold or given to others. I think that coming to the county king's mansion will not let my Xiao family break the contract and make me fall into the land of unbelief and injustice, right? ”

Those people's faces suddenly turned blue and white, and red for a while.

Xiao Yucheng said sincerely: "In the future, if your mansion is in need, you can buy it at Lanyue Tower, and I will let the shopkeeper take special care of your mansion." ”

It took a long time for the people in the Jingnan County Royal Mansion to squeeze out a few smiles and get up to say goodbye.

Who doesn't know that Lanyue Tower is the property of the General's Mansion? It's just that he doesn't give people impeachment and compete with the people for profit or anything, so he borrowed the names of a few veterans who returned to the field due to injuries.

In the General's Mansion, Bai Yu took the contract handed by Hao Jun and stroked the mustache on his chin with satisfaction.

Not only did he get such a good thing with money, but he also sold a favor from the Xiao family, this account is really cost-effective!

……

After listening to this, Xiao Yu probably guessed the ins and outs of the matter, and was relieved that Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng were fine, and at the same time he was angry with Li Ying. She never believed that Li Ying's invitation would have any good intentions.

Thinking of what happened last time, Xiao Yu felt that she was still too soft-hearted, because Li Ying was stopped and didn't really make an unforgivable mistake, so she let her go lightly.

But he never thought that if Ling Yan hadn't arrived just in time, maybe Xiao Pei and Lichun would have really been killed by Li Yingcane.

Now Li Ying has sinister intentions and wants to be unfavorable to the Xiao family, it can be seen that he is such a vicious person, and he will never repent because of the obstruction and persuasion of others, but will also resentment and use more means to harm others.

It is a sin to be soft-hearted in the face of such a scourge.

Xiao Yu regretted it, at least she should have let Li Ying lie in bed for an extra year and a half, just like Li Zhen.

Speaking of which, this family is really not a good thing.

But now that Li Ying is staying in the palace of Jingnan County all day, Xiao Yu has no chance to do anything to her, and this account can only be calculated later.

Xiao Pei was silent after hearing what Xiao Yu said, and hurriedly comforted: "Ah Yu, don't worry, that Shuhui County Lord didn't bargain, we are all good." ”

Xiao Yu turned his head.

Is it okay to take the medicine that causes fever? No wonder the face is so bad.

Xiao Yu immediately asked Xiao Pei to stretch out her hand to check her pulse, and when she was checked, although her body was a little weak, fortunately there was not much damage, so she hurriedly asked Dr. Zhou to come over for a consultation, so that it would be safer.

Lichun, who was standing next to him, hurriedly smiled and said, "It's already late at this time, I'm afraid it's not good to disturb Dr. Zhou again?" ”

Xiao Yu came back to her senses at this time, and she was also a little tired after a tiring journey, so she immediately went to sleep.

The next day, when Banxia went to ask for a doctor, he met Atractylodes on the way, and instead invited Dr. Liang, who stayed in Changle Villa, to come over and give Xiao Pei a prescription for recuperation.

The General's Mansion sent over the things brought back from Changzhou.

Xiao Yu asked Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng to pick what they liked, and then selected some to give away, so that the maid counted the things and put them into the warehouse.

There are not many people who are familiar with the Xiao family, and Xiao Yu sent a lot of things to Uncle Zhou Qi's family.

I haven't seen you for a few months, I don't know if it's because of the change of identity, I feel that Uncle Zhou's family is a little estranged, and this relationship must be maintained.

It rained for half a month, and the weather was rare and sunny in the next few days, and the corn in the field had been filled, and a lot of it could be picked and eaten.

The turquoise corn stalks are taller than a man, and brown whiskers hang from the top of the corn with branching leaves.

The morning dew is shining on the dilated leaves.

When Xiao Yu saw this scene, she who had never eaten corn in her life suddenly felt that her saliva was about to flow out. Fortunately, when Emperor Qi asked her to continue to try to grow corn before, she boldly asked for instructions, and then Emperor Qi opened the royal mouth and allowed her to take a part of it in the process of planting corn to study how to eat it.

Therefore, Xiao Yu immediately used the reason of studying how to eat and broke more than a dozen tender corn cobs under the heart-wrenching eyes of Wang Lei and others.

A dozen!

This kind of waste of food will be blind to the heavens! Wang Lei's heart hurt so much that his liver hurt together. Maybe God really heard his heart, and the sky suddenly thundered.

Wang Lei was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but glance at the sky in fright.

But seeing that Xiao Yu didn't have any self-consciousness, he said with a smile: "The spring thunder has sounded, this is really a good sign." ”

Taking the corn home, Xiao Pei couldn't help but say when he saw it: "This corn hasn't grown, why did you pick it?" ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "I'm not ordered to study how to eat this corn!" ”

Xiao Peiden was speechless. Xiao Yu has moved out Emperor Qi, what else can she say? However, this corn is just a legend that it can be eaten, and I haven't heard of anyone who has ever eaten it, so maybe there will be a problem, and it should be tried first.

Although Xiao Yu had eaten the peanuts and sweet potatoes when she was in the valley, and the brocade did not show anything unusual, she had Hua Yue to mention it last time, and this time she did not plan to cook the corn and eat it rashly.

In fact, the way to eat corn is not complicated at all, and now that it is the first time to try it, Xiao Yu decided to start with the simplest.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yu still asked Xiao Pei first: "Sister, how do you think this corn should be eaten?" ”

Xiao Pei hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Why don't you just peel off the corn kernels and put them in water to cook?" ”

Xiao Yu blinked and said, "Is it like cooking rice?" ”

Xiao Pei nodded, "Hmm." And this corn doesn't look like it needs to be hulled, it looks like a bean, and if it can be eaten, it should be able to be used for cooking. ”

Xiao Yucheng next to him nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yu praised her sister for her foresight in her heart, and then pretended to think for a while, and said, "I don't think it's so troublesome, just throw it into the pot and boil it first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for a few people to react, Xiao Yu tore open the green bud on the outside of a corn cob, threw it into the pot and put water, and let people start to burn the fire.

At this time, Xiao Yu also regretted it a little. I just started to try it today, maybe I won't be able to eat this sweet and delicious corn for a while, so why is she so greedy and picked a dozen at once! The rest of the corn will not run away in the field, and it will not be fresh after a long time.

Xiao Yu's own mind was turning back and forth there, and the water in the pot didn't take long to boil.

The escaping heat mixed with the sweet smell of corn wafted through the kitchen. The few people waiting next to him sniffed involuntarily.

After another half an hour, Xiao Pei finally couldn't help but speak: "It should be cooked, right?" After all, the corn looks quite tender. ”

Xiao Yu waited for this sentence and hurriedly asked the girl to cease fire.

Pulling out the corn that had become more golden after cooking, Xiao Yu wanted to take a bite immediately, but he still held back.

Hao Jun had already caught a chicken.

Xiao Yu waited for the corn to cool down a little, peeled off a few grains and gave them to the rooster to eat, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She hasn't even eaten yet.

The rest of the corn was harvested like a treasure, and the chicken was kept under close scrutiny.

It's still early, but because Xiao Yu has just come back, Xiao Pei cooks in a good mood every day, so he has lunch again.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel: It's really great to have such a sister!

After lunch, the chicken was safe and sound, and Xiao Yu gave Xuetuan a few grains of corn. In the evening, the chickens and dogs were still in good spirits, and Xiao Yu got his wish to eat the corn that he had not seen for a long time.

The sweet taste made Xiao Yu believe that these corns were better than those in his previous life!

Seeing that Xiao Yu had already eaten it first, Wang Lei and Hao Jun were eager to try it for a long time, and they no longer cared about anything, they tried a few grains respectively, and they were immediately impressed by the rare delicacy.

In fact, there are countless things that are better than corn nowadays, but now this corn is extraordinary, not only has the reputation of a divine object, not to mention that no one has eaten it for a long time in the legend, so Wang Lei and Hao Jun feel lucky and excited, and naturally feel delicious.

And for Xiao Yu, why is this not the case?

After careful tasting, Xiao Yu felt that the texture and taste of this corn were similar to those she had eaten in her previous life, but she thought about it for a while and didn't let Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei try it rashly.

This corn is growing so fast, maybe there's something wrong with it.

If they can hold back their greed, Xiao Yu thinks it's best for them to wait for many people to eat for more than ten or twenty years.

But Xiao Yu had experienced it in his previous life, so he subconsciously thought that this corn was edible and would not go wrong. With such a fluke mentality, how could she endure it.

Wang Lei recorded the tasting in detail.

A few days later, there was nothing unusual about the three of them, the chicken, and the snow balls, and if you don't eat such a delicacy as tender corn, you will be old this season. So Xiao Yu picked more than a dozen and invited Ling Yi's brothers and sisters, Hua Yue and Zhong Lang to come over.

Jiang Qingyuan heard that he was eating corn, so he came over with a thick skin, but Ling Yi unsympathetically asked people to stop him at the door.

When the corn was served, Ling Yi and the others ate it without hesitation. Maybe people nowadays are relatively simple, because they have long been convinced that this is the ancient artifact relic, and Xiao Yu and the others have already tried it, so they haven't thought too much.

Unlike Xiao Yu, who also thinks of mutations and the like, he is worried that something terrible will happen in the future.

After tasting a bite, several people couldn't help but admire.

Ling Yan was pleasantly surprised: "Sure enough, it's a divine object, it's so delicious to cook it in white water at will!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

With the tasting of this corn cob, Xiao Yu changed his tricks and came up with various ways to eat, which was easily accepted by several people.

And corn is made in a similar way to some beans.

Xiao Yu used a small stone grinder to make corn juice, stewed corn rib soup, and made several related dishes such as pine nut corn, as well as corn fried rice and corn roasting.

Everyone ate very happily.

After the banquet was dismissed, Ling Yan sat and gossiped with Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei, because he said: "It's Shangsi in a few days, will you two go out for spring?" (To be continued.) )
