When Ma Xiaoxiao returned from the market with a basket of vegetables, Friday was not in her small courtyard.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Ma Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it, she just carried the vegetable basket into the kitchen and began to prepare food.

Ma Xiaoxiao had just finished selecting the vegetables in the basket, and on Friday, he had already strode into the courtyard from the direction outside the courtyard.

Placing the two jars of wine in his hand on the table under the grape trellis, Friday went directly into the kitchen with a pile of firewood and the ingredients he had brought in his hand.

"I just went to the City Lord's Mansion to get two jars of good wine, and by the way, I got some ingredients that can't be bought in the market." Friday entered the kitchen, put the firewood in his hand next to the stove, put the ingredients on the side of the board and explained to Ma Xiaoxiao.

"Oh." Ma Xiaoxiao didn't feel any surprise, because most of the city lords who came to this city were not relatives of the Friday family and should also be one of his subordinates, so there was really nothing strange about this.

"You go over there and stay, I'm here to show my hand today, my skills are much better now than they were ten years ago." Friday pushed Ma Xiaoxiao, who was going to start cleaning vegetables, directly to the side and said.

"Oh." Ma Xiaoxiao sighed again, and squatted directly on a low stool in the corner of the kitchen.

"Friday, have you eaten your own food regularly for more than 10 years?" Ma Xiaoxiao, who was squatting on a small low stool, asked him after looking at Friday's busy and neat figure for a long time.

"It's only occasionally, most of the time I eat what other people make, because. A lot of the time, I don't have time for this, and I learned this way of cooking from the recipes you wrote, and after you left, I tried it myself, and found that the food cooked according to the recipes you wrote did taste much better than the food made by my cooks. Friday replied as he stir-fried the dish in the pan.

No wonder he felt familiar with the way Friday cooked and the smell of cooking food, it turned out that he made these things. It's all the ones she wrote in the recipe before...... These dishes and how to make them are written down by her own hand and recorded on the recipes. Originally, she wanted to wait until she moved into her new home, and then planned to make it herself for everyone to taste...... However, now all this is as if the peach blossom is still unbelievable......

Looking at Friday's busy back, Ma Xiaoxiao fell into his own thoughts again......

"Hey...... Don't continue to be in a daze. You stay like this any longer. The dishes are cold. "Put the last dish in your hand on the desk outside the courtyard under the vines. Friday said as he returned to the kitchen and pulled Ma Xiaoxiao up from the low stool from the corner.

Ma Xiaoxiao was dragged by Friday's arm all the way until he sat down at the desk that was used as a dining table. She was slow to remove.

"It's just the two of us, we don't need to cook so many dishes, even if Mao Mao comes back and adds it, I think there will be a lot of leftover from these dishes you make." Ma Xiaoxiao, who came to his senses, slowly glanced at the desk that was full of desks, and said slowly to Friday.

"It's okay, if you can't finish eating, you can eat slowly until you eat it all." Friday slapped the seal of the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for Ma Xiaoxiao and said.

Ma Xiaoxiao smelled the fragrant and fruity aroma of the wine poured into the wine bowl by Friday, and her heart became mixed again, if there was no such thing, then everything would be different, even if the final result may still be bad for her, but at least it will always give her more time to deceive herself......

Ma Xiaoxiao stared at the wine in the bowl with quite complicated eyes for a long time, and she finally picked up the wine bowl with one hand and poured all the wine in the bowl directly into her mouth.

Because Ma Xiaoxiao's action of pouring wine for herself was very rough, when she drank the whole bowl of wine, she put down the wine bowl and began to cough.

"Don't drink so quickly, eat some food first." Seeing that Ma Xiaoxiao was choking on wine and coughing badly, Friday stretched out a hand, patted her gently on the back, and put a piece of braised fish that had been depinned into her plate and said to her.

"Ahem, ahem...... I cough it up...... It's okay. Ma Xiaoxiao replied while coughing.

After Ma Xiaoxiao finally stopped coughing, Friday withdrew the hand he patted on Ma Xiaoxiao's back.

"Eat quickly, the dishes will be cold for a while, you don't have to worry about me." Ma Xiaoxiao, who had already gasped for breath, said to Friday, who had not moved.

"You eat first, I'm still waiting for you to evaluate the dishes I cooked." Friday said after putting another dish on Ma Xiaoxiao's plate with utensils again.

"Oh." Ma Xiaoxiao sighed, then picked up the tableware and took a mouthful of food from his plate, put the dish in his mouth, and chewed it mechanically without knowing the taste.

"How's it taste?" Seeing that Ma Xiaoxiao didn't puff out his cheeks like he usually did, Friday's eyes narrowed slightly and asked her.

"It's delicious." Ma Xiaoxiao swallowed the dish that didn't taste at all in his mouth and replied.

"Then eat more, you're a little skinny now." After Friday picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine for Ma Xiaoxiao again, he looked at Ma Xiaoxiao's face and said to her.

"Yes, I see." When Ma Xiaoxiao said this, Mao Mao, who had returned from going out, had already opened the courtyard door with the top of his head, and swaggered in through the gap that was opened by it.

Mao Mao, who entered the courtyard, first made two calls from the donkey, which had a long pitch in a cheerful voice, and then walked with four small hooves towards the place where Ma Xiaoxiao and Friday were sitting.

Mao Mao, who ran to the dining table, circled around the dining table a few times, then turned to Ma Xiaoxiao's and rubbed Ma Xiaoxiao's shoulder with his donkey face.

Pushing away the donkey's face rubbed by Maomao, Ma Xiaoxiao said to Friday, "I'll go to the kitchen to get Maomao's food plate." He stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Mao Mao didn't follow behind Ma Xiaoxiao, it just looked at the dishes on the dinner table with its long eyelashes on both sides of its cheeks, and continued to circle around the dining table, and the one who was circled by it was also sitting quite upright Friday.

Being watched by a donkey, Friday was very calm, so while he was eating food at this time, he would also take a sip of wine from the wine bowl under the watchful eye of Mao Mao.

After taking a sip of wine on Friday and putting down the wine bowl, Ma Xiaoxiao had already walked out of the kitchen with a large rectangular plate with a deep bottom.

Ma Xiaoxiao, who walked to the table, picked out some of each food with utensils and put them on the square plate, brought the square plate full of dishes to another desk, and said to Mao Mao, who came with him this time: "There are bones and fish bones in this, it's best not to click on yourself when you eat, I don't want to ask you to be a veterinarian or dig out the things that are holding you by hand."
