……

When it came to Shen Shi, the courtyard of the Qinghe Hou Mansion was a little lively.

Several domestic servants had saws, sawing planks, strips of wood and chopping wood.

Chen Xu was also holding a planer and was digging a few wooden blocks with tenon holes on the wooden table.

Next to him, there was also a carpenter who had come with him from Qinghe Town to help, holding a chisel and axe in his hand to knock ping pong, and sawdust was flying everywhere.

A school bus from a women's college stopped at the gate of Hou's mansion, the door opened, Shui gently led Xing'er and Yu Ji down from the car, and after saying goodbye to the classmates on the bus, the school bus left, Shui Qingrou and Xing'er Yu Ji entered the house under the greeting of several guards.

"Wow, brother, what are you doing again?"

"Brother Xiaoxu, I want to eat something delicious!"

Xing'er and Yu Ji carried a small schoolbag on their backs, dropped the water, and ran over softly and shouted.

Chen Xu put down the planer with a dark face, and said to the two obviously chubby girls one by one: "Eat, eat, eat, you know to eat, this is wood, which eye sees that it is eaten?" ”

"It turned out that it wasn't food, so I was happy in vain!" Apricot pouted and ran to the kitchen with her schoolbag on her back.

"Brother Xiaoxu, Yu Ji wants to eat delicious food, I haven't eaten delicious food for a long time!" Yu Ji looked at Chen Xu expectantly.

Uh, Chen Xu touched the sweat on his forehead, and thought about it carefully, it was true that he hadn't developed a new food for a long time, and the last time it seemed to be in the summer when he made ice powder.

More than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Shall I make a barbecue patty later?" Chen Xu touched Yu Ji's head and said.

"Okay, I'll tell Sister Xing'er!" Yu Ji happily ran away with her schoolbag on her back.

"What did the husband do?"

Shui walked over softly and silently, looking at the planks and sticks all over the ground and asked curiously.

"The mother-in-law who won the battle gave birth to a fat boy in July, and he invited me to attend the 100-day banquet the day after tomorrow, and I was very busy some time ago and didn't go to congratulate, this time I made him two special gifts!"

Shui Qing's expression was a little lonely in an instant, and she lowered her head and saluted and said, "Husband, I'll go wash and change clothes first!" ”

Looking at the lonely back of the water gently leaving, Chen Xu felt panicked in his heart, dropped the tools in his hand and said to the carpenter named Stick: "You continue to do it according to the drawings I draw!" ”

"It's Master Hou!" The stick and several of the servants agreed together.

In the bedroom, after washing gently, I took off my coat and wore a sweater inside, the color of which was gray and white was almost no different from the sweater of later generations, and the fit set off the perfect body curve, and the long black skirt on the lower body looked slim and full of extreme temptation.

When Chen Xu came in, she saw Shui Qingrou standing in front of the bed in a daze, holding a coat in a daze, until she heard Chen Xu's footsteps coming in, she quickly wiped her tears, and turned around to salute Chen Xu.

"Husband~"

"Gently!" Looking at his wife with red eyes and faint tears on her cheeks, Chen Xu stepped forward in pain and gently hugged the water in his arms and comforted him: "Gentle, don't think nonsense, whether you have an heir or not, you are my wife, and I am also my favorite woman, no one in the world can replace you!" ”

"Husband, I'm sorry for you gently, I feel so uncomfortable!" The water gently and tightly hugged Chen Xu's back, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"That's it, when I marry the fifth princess and Wan Niang, I will go back to Nanyang together to worship the ancestors, and then let's go to Lushan together to see if we can find the predecessors of Chi Songzi, the predecessors are masters of the world, and they are a hundred times stronger than the liar warlock like Zheng Boqiao, if you really can't have children, the seniors must have known it a long time ago, otherwise why did he never talk about it, maybe Zheng Boqiao was wrong, maybe it was because of the exercises you practiced, and it was more likely that we didn't work hard ......enough."

In order to comfort Shui Qingrou, Chen Xu had to give some reasons to ease Shui Qingrou's emotions.

"Husband, we have worked very hard, but half a year has passed since we got married, and there is no reason why you can't conceive ......" The pear blossoms that cried softly brought rain, and the delicate body twitched one after another, it was indeed sad to the bones, the two had known each other for a few years, and Chen Xu had never seen Shui Qingrou so sad and helpless.

"Don't cry, don't cry, cry too much and it's not beautiful, this time I went back to see the predecessors of Chi Songzi, and naturally I knew the reason, if you really can't get pregnant, don't be sad, giving birth to heirs is the way of nature, whether there is or not is the principle of heaven, how can Taoist children be sad because of this matter, you see that the predecessors of Chi Songzi are not living alone at ease, as soon as you are sad, I will have no master, and I want to give up my original ambition to go to the mountains to accompany you to the end of my life......"

"Husband, don't say that, it's a gentle mistake!" Shui Qingrou hurriedly reached out to cover Chen Xu's mouth, and raised her beautiful face like pear blossoms with rain to look at Chen Xu, "My husband is a strange man of the next rank in the world, how can I give up this ambition because of gentleness and because of the love of my children, I ...... I just heard that the wife of the princess gave birth to a child, and she will not worry about her husband in the future! ”

Chen Xu wiped away the tears on his face with water with his sleeve, and then said with a smile: "Hungry, let's go make scones and eat them!" ”

"Hmm~" Shui gently nodded gently, Chen Xu picked up the coat placed on the couch and draped it on Shui Qing's body, carefully helped her button and tie her belt, and then took her hand to the kitchen.

Meat patty, there are many kinds of this kind of food in later generations, and the practices vary all over the country, Chen Xu has eaten several kinds of meat patties, potato patties, egg patties, pork patties, beef patties, chive patties, pot helmets, and donkey meat roast and meat sandwich buns are actually meat patties.

But among all the meatloaf, mille-feuille meatloaf and charcoal-oven scones are the two most fragrant and delicious in Chen Xu's opinion.

It is best to use the oven to knead the flour into a dough and ferment it, then roll it into a dough, evenly spread the minced meat filling on the dough, and then fold it several times and put it in the oven to bake.

However, if you don't use an oven, you need to use an iron pan to make mille-feuille meatloaf, so the easiest way to eat meatloaf is to use an oven meatloaf.

There is an oven at home, which is made of a thick layer of clay in a clay pot, and a charcoal fire is placed underneath to put the food to be baked in it and slowly bake.

The crispy roast duck of Qinghe Hotel is slowly roasted out in this way, the slaughtered duck is cleaned, and then marinated with sauce for a night, brushed with a layer of Qinghe tea oil and then put into the oven, and slowly baked with charcoal made of peach wood, pear wood, apricot wood and other fruit trees, after a few hours, it will become charred on the outside and tender on the inside and with the fragrance of fruit wood, so the crispy roast duck is the most popular delicacy in Qinghe Hotel, diners must order, but the number is limited, the daily supply will not exceed 20, mainly because it is too laborious to do.

In the kitchen, Chen Xu cooked by himself, put on a white coat and hat with the help of the maid, and gently rolled up his sleeves to help make noodles, while Chen Xu ordered a piece of beef to chop the filling.

Now it's winter, fresh onions, garlic, leeks, etc. are gone, only some sun-dried dried vegetables and pickled vegetables, and then there is the soaked sour reeds, Chen Xu had to chop the beef, let the kitchen go to the vegetable garden to get some fresh and tender woad vegetables finely chopped, add a small amount of shredded ginger and pepper powder and salt to make the filling.

When everything was ready, the soft dough was also put on the stove and slightly fermented to have some soft elasticity, and then wrapped it like a bun with a few little maids, and pressed it into a round cake shape with their hands, and when they were halfway through, Xing'er and Yu Ji also ran over to help after finishing their homework, and the two girls also noisily wrapped some various strange shapes of meatloaf.

When a group of people started, the two cooks also added apricot charcoal to the oven and lit it, and when the meatloaf was finished, the temperature of the oven had risen, so Chen Xu personally demonstrated the method of scones.

Dip your hands in water, then wet one side of the scone, then gently stick the patty on the inside of the oven, and when all the more than 20 patties are glued, let the cook take care of the fire and bake slowly.

This method of grilling meatloaf is very simple, and there are people everywhere on the street who push carts to bake and sell it, and it is very crispy and fluffy when eaten hot.

Waiting for the time of the barbecue, Chen Xu went to the yard to continue to guide the stick and a few domestic servants to make cribs and strollers, and when the sky was already dark and almost out of sight, he returned to the kitchen, and the whole kitchen was already filled with the fragrance of scones.

Shui sat softly on a low stool in the kitchen with a book and read, while the two little girls stood by the oven, muttering and talking while constantly looking at the meatloaf in the oven, and swallowing saliva from time to time.

Seeing Chen Xu coming in, Yu Ji hurriedly took Chen Xu's hand: "Brother Xiao Xu, Yu Ji is hungry, how long will it take for the meatloaf to be baked!" ”

"Don't worry, wait for me to see!" Smelling this kind of barbecue patty with the taste of later generations, Chen Xu also felt that he was instantly hungry, so he took a closer look into the oven and found that the meatloaf was already bulging, and the surface was slightly browned, it should have been baked, so he instructed the kitchen to bring a plate and use tongs to take out a meatloaf.

After Chen Xu washed his hands, he broke the meatloaf, and instantly a rich fragrance spread in the kitchen.

"Wow, it's so fragrant~" Xing'er couldn't help but shout loudly.

"I want to eat, I want to eat!" Yu Ji jumped up and pulled Chen Xu's sleeve vigorously.

Chen Xu broke off a piece and put it in his mouth and tasted it, the skin was crispy and the meat filling was soft, and it was indeed ripe.

"Well, it's ripe!" Chen Xu broke the meatloaf in half and put it on a plate, and the two girls immediately happily took the plate and hid next to it to eat.

At this time, Shui Qingrou had already put away the book and stood up, Chen Xu took out another one and blew it lightly, and handed it to Shui Qingrou when it felt not too hot: "You've been busy for a long time, let's try one first, this meatloaf should be eaten while it's hot!" ”

"Thank you, husband!" Shui gently took the meatloaf and took a bite gently, and then praised it repeatedly, "I didn't expect the meatloaf to be so fragrant, although the production method is similar to that of buns, but it is much better than buns!" ”

"That's, it's just that scones are much more troublesome to make than buns, you have to control the heat carefully, otherwise you will bake paste, and you can't make much at one time......" Chen Xu also clipped one for himself when he spoke, and then handed the tongs to a kitchen worker and said, "You can pick it up yourself, one person will taste it first, and then leave three for us, and the rest will be sent to the housekeeper and each steward to let them taste it too, and make more tomorrow, and everyone in the house will share one ......"

"Thank you, Master Hou!" The two cooks and the maids saluted happily and then gathered around the oven, and soon one of them was divided, and the rest were packed in bamboo baskets, and the maids went next to each other to distribute them to the butler and a few stewards.

Chen Xu took three meatloaf to the restaurant with water and Xing'er Yu Ji, and began to chew slowly around the stove.

The production of meatloaf at home is very affordable, one is basically half-full, two are down, the maid brought a few bowls of red dates and millet porridge, two meatloaf and a bowl of porridge Chen Xu began to burp, and the water only ate one and then drank half a bowl of porridge and couldn't eat, but the two little girls each ate a whole, although they couldn't walk anymore after eating, Yu Ji still wanted to eat.

"If you eat your belly again, you're going to burst it, and if you eat too much, you'll grow too fat, not only can't kick the shuttlecock and jump the house, but you won't be able to dance in the future!" Chen Xu warned Yu Ji with black lines on his head.

"No, Yu Ji wants to kick the shuttlecock, sing and dance, don't gain weight!" Yu Ji shook her head in fright.

"Then you have to remember that you can't eat until you eat in the future, do you know?"

"Oh, well, I'll only eat half of it later...... Half a meatloaf! Yu Ji quickly accepted Chen Xu's suggestion.

For the two girls who are getting fatter and fatter, Chen Xu is now more and more unable to deal with it.

Now the family is rich in food and drink, not only the two little girls have gained weight, but even a group of little maids have gained weight, and Chen Xu himself is the same, he has been in Xianyang for more than a year, he has eaten and drunk every day, not only has his body grown to about 1.7 meters, but he is already tall in Daqin's current man's height, and he has completely gotten rid of the black and thin image in Xiaohe Village, and began to transform into an idol-level handsome guy.

After eating and drinking, Shui Qingrou and a group of little maids took out woolen balls around the stove and began to knit sweaters, Xing'er and Yu Ji took out a pair of marbles and sat on the kang to play checkers, and Chen Xu asked the servants to move the half-made stroller over, and continued to install the tools with jingling tools.

Half an hour passed, and the strollers were all installed.

The structure is very simple, it is a small baby chair, each of the four legs is equipped with a ball bearing, and the back of the chair is a T-shaped armrest, which looks similar to the strollers of later generations, but it cannot be folded.

After Chen Xu was ready, he stood up and pushed back and forth in the room.

Looking at this strange little chair that could be pushed and run, Shui Qingrou and a group of little maids all put down their sweaters and came over to watch, and Xing'er and Yu Ji stopped playing checkers, and squeezed over as soon as they threw the glass marble.

"Wow, it's a car with long wheels, I'm going to play!" Xing'er shouted and snatched Chen Xu's driver's position, and soon pushed extremely skillfully, running around in the restaurant.

"Sister Xing'er, can you play with me for a while?" Yu Ji followed behind and kept begging.

"Okay, one person and two laps to change the push!" Xing'er reluctantly gave the stroller to Yu Ji, Yu Ji's body was not tall enough, her two hands were just enough to reach the handle, and she soon hit the dining table, so Xing'er pushed the cart very proudly, let Yu Ji stand in front of her and grab the backrest of the car, and the two little girls soon had a lot of fun, and the room was full of excited shouting and screaming.

"Husband is really whimsical, with this small car, you can put the baby in it and push it out to play, light and labor-saving, all the nurses must like it!" Seeing the two little girls excitedly pushing the car around the room, and a group of little maids standing next to them to take care of the car so as not to overturn and hit the items, Shui Qingrou couldn't help but praise softly.

"Well, when we have a child, I will make him all kinds of toys, as well as wooden horses, slides, bicycles, ......"

Chen Xu suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, looked at the soft and lonely mood of the water, and quickly stood up and said, "It's getting late, you take Xing'er and Yu Ji to wash and sleep!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" A few little maids hurriedly saluted, and then took the two reluctant girls to wash and sleep.

Chen Xu gently hugged the water in his arms and comforted him, "Don't be anxious, lady, let's go wash and rest, continue to work hard, there is a reward for paying!" ”

"Well, listen to your husband gently!" Shui nodded softly with a crimson cheek, and the two hugged each other and walked towards the bedroom in the backyard.
