"Madam, there are still some things outside that can't be stored for a long time, could you please give me an idea of how to put them?" Yuanxiang also walked in at this time, and Fushen asked.

Xu Jiayi stood up and asked out loud as she walked out, "What's there?" ”

Although the ceremonial officer had read it just now, there were so many things that she didn't remember much.

Chu Changfeng looked at the smiling Xu Jiayi who was standing in the courtyard and directing the maids to order the things sent from Shangshu Mansion, and couldn't help but smile lightly, and asked Mama Hua without blinking, "Is there a rabbit in the kitchen?" ”

Mama Hua was stunned, not knowing that Chu Changfeng suddenly asked about this. But she didn't know what she bought in the kitchen today, so she thought about it and replied out loud, "The slave went to the kitchen and asked, I don't know what the son of the world is going to use it for?" ”

"Don't you want to eat cold rabbits, if you have one, send it to the small kitchen of Fengyuan, and I will cook it for her myself." Chu Changfeng didn't forget the cute appearance of the little girl swallowing saliva when she talked about eating rabbits cold, and now she unconsciously bent the corners of her lips when she remembered it.

It's normal for a little girl to be homesick after being away from home for so long.

But after a while, Mama Hua came back to report that there was no rabbit in the kitchen, but there was a freshly processed sheep, which was originally intended to be used to make dried meat. If Chu Changfeng wants to use them, he will send them over first.

Chu Changfeng frowned and thought about it, mutton is not good to eat cold mutton, but roast mutton is good. Yiyi had never eaten this method in Yanjing City, but it was okay, so she instructed Mama Hua to ask the kitchen people to move the mutton to the maple garden, and then prepare some cumin, chili powder, pepper powder and other spices to send over.

Mama Hua answered "yes", turned around and went out to prepare.

After Xu Jiayi finished tidying up all the things here, it was already more than half an hour later. After a busy afternoon, she didn't even take a nap, this time her son was tired and sleepy, he had yawned several times, and his eyes were full of sleepy tears.

Xiangqiao was so distressed that she couldn't do it, and said in a low voice, "Madam, why don't you go to the house to rest for a while and make up for sleep." ”

"Wouldn't this be bad...... Xu Jiayi subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Changfeng, but saw Chu Changfeng looking back, "Look at what I do, you can sleep if you want, do whatever you want, you are the hostess here, don't care about other people's opinions." ”

Xu Jiayi thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded and went back to the house to sleep.

Xiangyun's son had already been settled, and after resting in the room for a while, he wanted to come out to serve Xu Jiayi. After learning that Xu Jiayi had fallen asleep, he quietly retreated, and pulled Xiangqiao under the porch to talk, mostly asking about Xu Jiayi's situation. As for Cuiyun and Yuan Xiang, one was busy assisting Chu Changfeng in the barbecue, and the other was busy checking the account books.

The two of them were talking about something interesting, when they heard a noise in the room, and their voices stopped abruptly. Xiangqiao glanced back at the room, and walked into the room as she spoke, "Madame, I'm afraid I'm awake." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Xiangyun and Xiangqiao walked in, they saw that Xu Jiayi had already sat up. Xiangqiao stepped forward to help Xu Jiayi, and Xiangyun took the coat on the side.

There was a strong fragrance in the air, and Xu Jiayi felt that she didn't wake up naturally from sleep, but was tempted to wake up by this fragrance. At this moment, seeing Xiangyun and Xiangqiao, I couldn't help but ask.

While asking, he swallowed his saliva, "What is this doing outside, so fragrant?" ”

"Uncle is cooking roast whole sheep in the yard."

"Really?" Xu Jiayi's eyes suddenly became shining, and then she immediately got out of bed, put on her shoes and ran outside. After leaving the room, the fragrance of the outer room became stronger, filling the entire courtyard. Following the fragrance, Xu Jiayi saw Chu Changfeng, who was sweating in the corner of the courtyard.

There was a simple barbecue grill in the corner, the tail of the sheep pinned into the belly with an iron skewer, the chest facing up, the limbs hung on the leather surface with iron hooks, and the fire was baking underneath.

Xu Jiayi couldn't help but swallow when she looked at the roasted whole sheep that was roasted to golden butter.

At that time, Chu Changfeng was holding clear oil in one hand and a small brush in the other hand to brush the roast sheep with a layer of oil to avoid burning. I heard a voice behind me, and when I turned around, I saw two eyes shining and staring straight at me...... Xu Jiayi, who was roasting sheep behind her, couldn't help but raise the smile on the corner of her lips.

It's really a snack guy, and you only have food in your eyes.

Seeing her getting closer and closer, Chu Changfeng hurriedly said, "Don't get too close, the smell of oil smoke here is very strong, it's not good for you to smell too much." Go sit over there, and you'll be able to eat in a while. ”

In addition to the strong smell of oil smoke, there is also an experience that it is very hot.

Xu Jiayi could feel the heat over there before she walked closer, as if she had been roasted in the stove, and when she heard this, she immediately stopped and nodded, seeing that Chu Changfeng was sweating and roasting meat for himself, would it be a little bad for him to just walk away like this, Xu Jiayi thought about it, took a handkerchief out of her sleeve, and ran over in small steps to wipe the sweat on Chu Changfeng's face.

Although it was just a simple wipe, Xu Jiayi's handkerchief could already be wrung out of water in an instant.

Sure enough, eating barbecue on a hot day is not an easy task, and she still can't complain that the chef in the kitchen is not good at cooking in the future.

"I'm not hot, go back to the house and sit, don't get dirty on you."

Xu Jiayi nodded, turned around and went back to the house, and asked Mama Hua, "Mama Hua, is there still ice in the ice cellar in the house?" ”

"Yes, the slave has already sent someone to fetch it." Mama Hua nodded in response, she had wanted to bring ice cubes over earlier, so that the prince could be cooler. But Shizi said that it doesn't have any effect to put ice cubes here, or it will be completely melted in two clicks, don't bother.

At this time, Mrs. Zi woke up, and just went outside again, her face was red, and she asked her mother-in-law to bring a few buckets of ice in the ice cellar and put them away.

Xu Jiayi nodded when she heard this, sat at the table with her chin in her hands, and looked at Chu Changfeng in the courtyard quietly. After about a quarter of an hour, the whole roasted sheep was cooked.

Chu Changfeng put on two layers of gloves to prevent frostbite in winter, took the roasted whole sheep off the shelf, and put it on the table in the oversized tray prepared in advance. Xu Jiayi took a deep sniff of the aroma of cumin and chili noodles mixed with the tip of her nose, only to feel that the saliva in her mouth was secreted very quickly, and she was about to take the chopsticks to pick a piece of meat down, but she found that she couldn't hold it at all, and she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

You can't see it, it's the real torture.

When Chu Changfeng came in from outside with a plate and a dagger, he looked at Xu Jiayi's puffed appearance and smiled dumbly, "Just sit there and eat, I'll help you get it." It's still hot, so you'll have to blow it when you eat it. ”

Chu Changfeng took a dagger and cut some small pieces of meat from the roast mutton, loaded it on a plate, and put it in front of Xu Jiayi. Xu Jiayi looked at the barbecue in front of her, and didn't care about talking to Chu Changfeng, so she raised her hand and picked up a chopstick and sent it to her mouth, and praised it inarticulate while chewing, "It's delicious!" ”

Originally, I felt that the taste would definitely not be bad, but when I really ate it in my mouth, I knew that it was not bad, it was simply a delicacy in the world, the meat on the outside was brown and crispy, and the meat on the inside was soft and tender.

Xu Jiayi usually pays attention to the rules when eating, especially at that kind of large-scale banquet, that is, there are dishes that she particularly likes to eat, and she will not clip them a third time after the second time. But if the elders at home are close to them, if there is anything they want to eat, they can eat it the next day. And it was sent to the maple garden, and there was no one present, so she could eat as much as she wanted.

And now after arriving at the Anping Marquis Mansion, except for the rules when accompanying Mrs. Chu in Rongyang Hall or accompanying Mrs. Chu to have a family banquet, the rest of the time in the maple garden is eaten by your own stomach. The people here in Changzhou, even the little girl's appetite is not small, and she will not have any gossip if she uses more.

What's more, there are also Mama Hua and Xiangqiao, who cooperate with themselves, and on weekdays, she asks the kitchen to cook too much and doesn't finish it, so they help her eat. Or when they ate too much and made the maid suspicious, they deliberately said that they had eaten these things, and it had nothing to do with her as a lady.

After a long time, Xu Jiayi found out that they actually had no malicious intent, that is, even the daily meal of Mrs. Chu was more than twice that of her grandmother. Over time, Xu Jiayi doesn't care about other people's opinions, and lets the kitchen cook whatever she wants to eat, but it's a pity that the chef in the kitchen is at a unique level, but he doesn't have the taste of his hometown.

Although Chu Changfeng's cooking today is not Kyoto-style, it is also extremely delicious. Xu Jiayi kept stuffing chopsticks into her mouth from beginning to end, and her cheeks bulged out when she ate, like a hamster hiding food. Chu Changfeng next to him took a dagger and carefully cut the roast mutton into small pieces and put it on the plate, so although Xu Jiayi had been eating it, the amount on the plate was not missing at all.

On the contrary, Chu Changfeng has been cutting meat pieces for Xu Jiayi, but he hasn't eaten much. However, he looked at Xu Jiayi's happy appearance, he was happier than he ate, and it was not in vain that he tossed in the yard for most of the afternoon.

Although Xu Jiayi was already very careful, the oil from the barbecue still touched the corners of her mouth, and Chu Changfeng couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene.

Xiangyun on the side looked a little anxious, why didn't my aunt pay attention to some images, look at the mouth full of oil, like a little flower cat, and the most important thing is that she was seen by her uncle. Xiangyun wanted to step forward to remind her, but she was dragged before she could take a step, and when she looked back, it turned out to be Xiangqiao.
