Chapter 39: The Dark Tide Surges
Fortunately, the weather is still cold, and the meat can still be stored, and the only thing to guard against is rats. Xiuniang found a number of empty baskets, put the meat cut into strips, put them in the baskets one by one, and hung them under the beams, so that the mice could not climb in.
Xue Lang let the pig's head and pig's feet stay, so he set it on fire, washed and scraped it, and put it in the pot and waited. Xue Lang asked Xiuniang for a piece of clean gauze, and went back to the house to pack a package of spices from licorice-
It's not for the purpose of keeping the formula secret or anything, it's purely because I don't want to make trouble for licorice. However, Xiuniang and the others seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that Xue Lang wanted to keep it secret, so they were all cautious.
Xue Lang looked at it, and simply didn't say much, letting them maintain the so-called secrecy.
Fished out the oil residue, filled a big bowl for Xiuniang and took it home, and the rest, Xue Lang remembered that there was still a little bit of leftover sugar in the bag, ran into the house and felt it, and one person filled a small bowl of oil residue, sprinkled with sugar, and ate sweet oil residue.
Wanfu, Changjian, and Lamei have long been hooked by the aroma of boiling oil, and now they have something to eat, and they all happily take it: "Thank you Langjun, it's so fragrant!" ”
Xue Lang also liked to eat this when he was a child, but he couldn't eat more every time, so as not to eat too much and be greasy. Xue Lang looked at Mozhu with a tangled face: "Mozhu, do you want to eat it?" ”
Mo Zhu flattened his mouth: "Lang Jun, this is boiled pork." ”
Xue Lang rolled his eyes silently and said, "So you don't eat it?" ”
"But it's very fragrant......"
As he spoke, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he hesitated and hesitated between words and actions.
Xue Lang didn't bother to take care of her anymore, and said, "It's up to you whether you eat or not!" If you don't eat it hot, you won't be able to eat it when it's cold later! ”
Mo Zhu looked at Xue Lang with a flat mouth, and then looked at the plum, Changjian, and Wanfu who were eating fragrantly. Changjian turned around directly, didn't look at Mozhu, concentrated on eating his own, and ate with his mouth full of oil.
Lamei is an honest child, and greeted her warmly: "Mozhu, you can taste it, I think it's better than mutton soup." ”
Wan Fu smiled and said: "Our identity, as long as there is something delicious, Mozhu, do you still care if it is a pig or a sheep?" ”
Mo Zhu looked at this, then at that, and whispered, "That...... Then I'll try a piece? ”
“……”
Now, even Lamei ignored her.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Mo Zhu flattened his mouth, picked up the bowl, pinched the chopsticks, and prepared to eat a piece, seeing the white sugar given by Xue Lang in the bowl, he couldn't help but chant again: "Lang Jun, you actually use such a good frosting sugar with pork to eat, it's really a waste of good things!" ”
Changjian couldn't help but glance at Mozhu, his eyes were Chi Guoguo's "There are good things that can't plug your mouth", and Xue Lang couldn't bear to speak.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Mo Zhu lowered his head and ate the bowl, first ate one piece tentatively, and then couldn't help but take the second and third pieces...... Slowly, the speed of using chopsticks became faster and faster, and when her chopsticks were empty, she found that she had finished eating a bowl, and her face just showed an expression of pity and disappointment, and when she looked up and saw Xue Langzheng looking at her playfully, she couldn't help but blush: "The oil residue boiled in this pork can only be barely eaten, if it weren't for the special frosting that Lang Jun put out, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat a bite." ”
Xue Lang laughed and teased: "Fortunately, you are reluctant to eat, otherwise, at the speed at which you eat Mozhu, two more bowls will not be enough for you to eat, Lang Jun, I don't feel sorry for sugar and oil residue, I'm afraid that you will eat too much and get tired of you." ”
"Lang Jun!"
Mo Zhu was annoyed and angry, his face was red like a red cloth, he stomped his feet, turned around and went back to the backyard.
Xue Lang laughed and shouted Wanfu after eating: "Wanfu, I'll give you a task tonight, be careful not to let the fire in the pot go out, simmer for two hours, and then you can take out the meat in the pot and put out the fire again, remember?" ”
"Oh, don't worry, Lang Jun, the little ones will pay attention."
"Okay, the responsibility of the organization is up to you. Lamei, are you done eating? Lang Jun, I want to take a bath, hurry up and prepare water. ”
"Oh, Lang Jun, please wait a moment."
Lamei quickly went to the kitchen to bring the boiling hot water, and Mozhu, who was hiding behind the backyard door, heard that Xue Lang was going to take a bath, and finally got out and prepared to go with Lamei.
Xue Lang ate a bowl of sweet oil residue, a little tired and panicked, wanted to go back to the house to drink saliva, let Changjian be in charge of cleaning up, and followed back to the backyard, just when he heard the voices of the two girls-
“…… Lang Jun has a good temper and treats people kindly, but Mozhu, you shouldn't be annoyed with Lang Jun just now. If you change to Lang Jun, Mozhu, what you said and did just now is a big faux pas and offense, if it is known by the above, you will have to eat a big hanging. ”
Is this Lamei persuading Mozhu?
Xue Lang stopped, it was difficult to avoid it, so as not to make a disturbance and scare the two of them, so he had to passively listen to the two of them talking-
I only heard Mo Zhu seem to sigh and said, "I don't know such words and deeds, I really shouldn't." It's just that sometimes I can't control myself. You don't know that when I went to the needlework room today, I met Ju Xue next to His Highness, her face and words were really annoying, everyone was by His Highness's side as servants, only the two of us were sent by His Highness to serve Xue Langjun, she said, this is because His Highness no longer likes us, and we have been rejected by His Highness! ”
Mo Zhu's words were indignant.
Lamei seemed surprised: "Why do you say this? When we came, His Royal Highness once said that because he liked Xue Langjun, he sent us two to serve, otherwise, some of the people in the house would be suitable people! It is precisely because His Royal Highness takes a fancy to Xue Langjun that we who grew up beside her will be allowed to come, and we should serve with our hearts. ”
"That being said, how can a favored servant be transferred away from his master's side!"
"This is presumptuous! Let him be a slave to his master, and do his errands with all his heart. His Royal Highness takes a fancy to Xue Langjun, let us come, we should do our best, this is the loyalty to the master, where are there so many plans! Mo Zhu, you weren't such a foolish person before! ”
Mo Zhu didn't speak, he was silent for a while, and his voice was melancholy: "I also hope so, but where does Xue Langjun have the atmosphere of a son of a family!" Lamei, do we have a future? You say, will His Highness let us serve Xue Langjun? ”
"Palm!"
Lamei is angry! There was anger in his tone: "You actually said such shameless words! The son of the family...... Hehe, we grew up together, I didn't know Mozhu you still have such ambitions. ”
Mo Zhu hurriedly said: "Lamei, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I mean, Xue Langjun doesn't look like a person who can have a great future, which person do you think has a lot of talent, who thinks about eating and drinking all day long?" He actually knows how to sprout bean sprouts, where is this done by the great husband! ”
Xue Lang, who was passively and silently observing, secretly wiped sweat in his heart-
Mozhu, you are so reasonable, I am speechless!
Xue Lang is indeed just an ordinary person, from an ordinary background, look, isn't this a clue! Fortunately, I didn't make up any family sons, or I would have been seen through it a long time ago!
