Volume 1: Once in a Lifetime Chapter 31: The eldest lady goes to the kitchen

"Don't cut the lean meat and fat separately, it tastes better with semen, oil and bones."

Qin Xin did as he was told, and slowly found joy in chopping vegetables.

This knife sliced out a piece of white cut meat, lean, fat, skin and cartilage, it is really a work of art, let me dip it in soy sauce and eat a slice of it. Qin Xin grabbed a piece of meat, washed the meat in the soy sauce dish and took a "bath", "Ah woo" stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, it was really delicious, this white cut meat with oil and skin was much better than pure lean meat.

A pot lid was lifted, Tie Ming wore thick gloves and took out a plate of pickles and brine steamed Xiaomei Tong, the fragrance penetrated into Qin Xin's nostrils, seduced her to come over, deeply smelled the pickle brine and the fragrance of Xiao Mei Tong, couldn't help but tap the soup with his little finger and take a sip.

Tie Ming Zhengse, she didn't want to be like this, Qin Xin rolled her black eyes to look at him, and stuck out her tongue mischievously. Xiao Julai took the plate and brought it to the table,

Qin Xin instructed Xiao Ju a few words, Xiao Ju nodded, and went out with a plate.

Another dish is out of the pot, it is radish with fish soup. The radish inside is Qin Xin just washed, and now it is shaved into silver threads, wrapped in hairtail, one is as translucent as snow, the other is shiny silver, and the dish is really attractive. Qin Xin came over again, Tie Ming scooped a spoon with shredded radish and a piece of small hairtail, blew it for her, and told her:

"Eat it with care."

Qin Xin opened his mouth, took a small bite in his hand, his eyes lit up, nodded a few times and said, Well, delicious! The radish was sweet and crunchy, and the hairtail was delicious and delicious, and he gave Tie Ming a thumbs up and praised him for making a vegetable stick. Tie Ming looked at Qin Xin and smiled, just like looking at his sister, and said:

"Qinxin, you have to learn to do things yourself, others can't serve you for a lifetime."

Qin pouted his lips with disdain, raised his head, and still had the temper of the eldest lady.

After the dishes were finished for a while, the maids all served it to the table, and Qin Xin invited Tie Ming to eat with her, and Tie Ming agreed with a smile. The two came to the dining room together, and Qin Xin also asked Tie Ming to sit in the position of the first father. Tie Ming was pleased that she knew the etiquette, respected the elders, and sat down, wondering why Qin Xin didn't sit. After a while, Xiaoju came back and said:

"Miss, they are here, but Uncle Zhong stopped them from coming in, and asked Miss to pick them up."

"This loyal old man, his head is heatstroked? He also stopped my people. ”

Saying that, Qin Xin went out with Xiao Ju angrily, leaving Tie Ming alone at the table and wondering, did Qin Xin invite someone to eat together? Who did you invite? - It can't be a dog, right?

A chaotic sound of footsteps mixed with laughter from far and near, Tie Ming heard it clearly, and sure enough, it was a dog. Qin Xin led them into the dining room, and when the four of them saw Tie Ming, they shouted in unison:

"Brother Ming!"

Tie Ming smiled and signaled, Qin Xin beckoned them to take a seat, and asked them not to be polite, Xiao Ju came to turn the chair, Ah Gou sat down unceremoniously, Ah Rat also rubbed his hands, and sat politely for a long time. The maids at the table all held their mouths and muttered to each other, squinting and smiling.

Qin Xin is afraid that Ah Dog will not be comfortable with them, let the maids go down, there is no need to serve the table today, Xiaoju will also go down, Qin Xin beckoned her to stay and eat together.

"Come on, come on, everyone eat, don't be polite, don't be polite, today's meal is specially made by Mr. Song for everyone to eat, I will start."

Ah Gou's eyes widened incredibly, I really didn't expect that Brother Ming would personally cook to entertain them, and Qin Xin also helped to help. Oh, what's this called, Ah Gou asked Qin Xin.

"Flattered, isn't it? You're welcome, come, dog, I'll have a drink with you first, good brothers, take a sip. ”

Qin Xin laughed and clinked glasses with Ah Gou, but when he was about to drink, he found that the maid poured not wine, but tea, and was unhappy, so he called someone to pour wine. Xiao Ju got up to get the wine, but was stopped by Tie Ming. Xiao Ju stood still on the ground, waiting for instructions, Tie Ming said to Qin Xin:

"Refreshment, tea can be drunk, but wine can't be stained."

"You care about me!"

The laughter at the dinner table suddenly became dumb, everyone looked at Qin Xin and Tie Ming, and Xiao Ju stood and didn't know what to do. Ah Gou rolled his eyes "bone and bone", sometimes looking at Qin Xin, sometimes looking at Tie Ming.

A cat looked at the pig's head meat on the table and drooled, and while everyone was not paying attention, he picked up three pieces and stuffed them into his mouth. Ah Worm swallowed his saliva "crunch", he also wanted to taste what the wine in the Lin Mansion tasted like. Ah Rat kept looking at Qin Xin, and that look seemed to persuade her not to be angry and listen to Mr. Song's words.

"Xiaoju, bring the wine."

"Xiaoju, sit down and don't go."

"Song Tieming, I'm just going to drink today, I have so many good buddies here, everyone has a drink, what's the matter with just to help the fun, you are here to spoil the fun."

"The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, you are a good buddy, and you can't drink a table full of rooms."

"Why should I listen to you, Song Tieming, with your mouth full of morality and righteousness? With your fists? I have calloused ears when you teach me, do you still want to beat me? ”

Tie Ming didn't speak or look at her, and there was no reaction. Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Ah Gou hurriedly picked up the teacup and said in his heart:

"Qin Xin, Brother Ah Dog will toast you first, thank you Qin Xin for inviting us to dinner today. These days, I drink too much alcohol and have stomach pain, so it's just right to have tea, hot tea to nourish my stomach! ”

After Ah Gou finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, looked at him with his heart, put his hands on his waist, stretched out his thumb and pointed at him, and waved his head in and said:

"Dog, why are you speaking for him?"

"Ah Gou never speaks for anyone, refreshing his heart, Ah Gou still wants to live healthy and comfortable for two more years, and alcohol hurts his body!"

The dog kicked the cat and the worm, and they also said that they would not drink. A rat brought the drunken white shrimp and said to Qin Xin:

"Qinxin, there is wine here, let's eat shrimp and taste some wine."

The dog glared at him, and the rat's head shrank in. Tie Ming understands now, I said, Mr. Lin doesn't let Qin Xin get drunk, and her alcohol addiction can't come out of thin air, it turns out that it is all used to this group of fox friends and dogs. Ah Gou just advised Qinxin not to drink, what does it mean?

Qin Xin looked at his followers angrily and persuaded him not to drink, it was all damn Song Tieming said, what's wrong with a small sip, your sister and I usually drink a lot! Are these unrighteous people so afraid of him? He said that if he didn't drink, he wouldn't drink, and he knew that he wouldn't invite this "Tang monk" to eat together, so he knew how to discipline people. Qin Xin angrily folded his hands and leaned on the back of the chair, Tie Ming sandwiched the white cut meat to her, Qin Xin twisted his head and ignored him, Tie Ming couldn't, he ate some casually, and said goodbye and left after a few words.

Ah dog, they ate happily, the table was full of dishes, some of them had never seen before, and they were invited, and they shook off their cheeks to eat. Qin Xin also returned to his lively appearance after a short time, introduced the names and methods of the dishes to Ah Gou, exaggerated Hu Zou Yitong, and bluffed the four of them for a while, Xiaoju only smiled, ate like a canary, and listened to Qin Xin's story.

The rat only moved a few dishes in front of him. Xiao Ju noticed it carefully, and gave him quail eggs soaked in soy sauce and let him taste it to see if it was delicious. A rat took it with a smile, looked at the quail eggs for a long time, picked up the entrance, and bit it, huh? How is it brittle and raw, and still have teeth? What is it?

"Hahahaha-"

Xiao Ju laughed, everyone looked, it turned out that the rat ate ate quail eggs without peeling the eggshell, isn't this eggshell hard? It's weird and can't chew it! Seeing that he was making a fool of himself, Ah Rat became cramped, chewed the unshelled quail eggs with a "sand coo", and said with an embarrassed smile:

"I like to eat it in the shell, it's so flavorful, it's flavorful."

Everyone still laughed at him, and Xiao Ju brought him a cup of tea to rinse his mouth, and his shell was uncomfortable sticking to his teeth. A rat thanked him, reached out to pick it up, didn't notice that he touched Xiao Ju's hand, Xiao Ju lowered his head, his face was red, and Ah Rat hurriedly changed his posture to pick it up. Ah Gou picked the meat in the crab and squinted at them and smiled.

After everyone finished eating, Qin Xin led his followers upstairs to play mahjong. Xiao Ju went to work outside alone. Mahjong has to be played by four people, and the rest of the person is either the referee or helps someone watch.

But Qin Xin didn't want any referees, just play casually, and don't want anyone to help watch, the other three also said they didn't need it, and the rat was ostracized, he was still sitting on the side at first, waiting for someone to take over when he was tired of playing, and seeing that everyone was having fun, he was really bored on the side, so he went downstairs and walked around in the garden.

Lin Mansion is so beautiful, look at the frost leaves are red, and the path is sad. A rat has read a little book, and also knows the good sentence "frost leaves are red in February flowers", he put his hands behind his back, pretended to be a poet, enjoyed the autumn colors of the garden, and walked into the flower heavy secluded land. It's so nice to live here and bring them to play at home. Walking and watching, the rat lost his way and unconsciously came to the Huanshui land.

It's quite open here, on a cement ground, more than a dozen faucets are neatly arranged in two rows, there are washing desks around it, and there are large and small basins on the ground, and then there is a place to dry clothes, all of which are built with iron rods, neatly arranged like a guard of honor. The sheets and clothes were hung on them, and the sun looked bright from afar.

A few laundry girls are here to do their laundry and splash water on each other. Xiao Ju walked over, holding the lady's underwear in her hand, she didn't wash the bulky coat, and the other girls didn't wash the master's underwear.

"What's the big deal, aren't they all girls, washing one or two small vests, are they half a young lady? It's not about washing the lady's clothes yet. ”

The group of laundry girls have always been at odds with Xiaoju, and when they saw her coming, they ridiculed her twice, picked up the basins in their hands and left one by one. Xiaoju never thought that she was a "deputy miss", but because she was well-behaved and obedient, she was liked by the old lady, and the treatment was better than them.

Putting down the basin, Xiaoju began to fetch water and wash clothes, and she was alone in this place now.

In the distance, Ah Rat saw a few maids walking with basins, and wanted to go up to ask for directions, but these maids saw that he was sour, and they all ignored him, twisted their butts and left. A rat had to walk a few more steps, but when he saw Xiaoju washing clothes there, it was like seeing a relative, so he hurried over to say hello:
