The wooden door opened, and the kitchen was filled with steam, as well as the smell of sulfide from the burning of coal.

A few seconds later, the line of sight became clear, and Miss Zhao was squatting on the ground and hurriedly digging out the fire, bending over for a while and straightening her waist for a while, looking so anxious.

Feeling the smoke dissipate and the cold air came in, Miss Zhao stood up in surprise, turned her head to look at them, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and then looked apologetic:

"Uh...... I...... I really don't know how to make a stove like this, I don't know how to put out the fire......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang reacted first, and also sighed and smiled:

"Miss Zhao, you're fine...... Hehe, we thought something had happened to you...... Look at how big the gas is, ahem......"

Li Gensheng hurriedly called out to two people, and quickly sealed the fire.

Miss Zhao and Xiang Xiaoqiang scooped boiling water into the enamel jar of the team members and distributed it to everyone to drink. The team members have been running around in the cold wind for a day, and at this time, the hot water is in the stomach, and it is really warm from the inside.

Under the warm light, Miss Zhao's pale face also showed a flush. She personally put the boiling water on the hands of each team member, gentle and thoughtful, like a holy angel in white. These young lads looked at her differently.

"Okay, Miss Zhao, you can rest," Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but say, "You've worked hard enough." ”

Immediately a large number of voices:

"Yes, yes, Miss Zhao rest!"

"We'll ...... it ourselves"

"Miss Zhao is really not easy, don't get tired......"

Miss Zhao straightened her waist and wiped her forehead, and laughed softly:

"Not tired, not tired......"

……

Li Changgui and his stomach ache came back. Bring a big basket of food.

Everyone "coaxed" to surround them, opened the paper bag, and the room was full of aroma.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was happy at a glance, typical Xuzhou local snacks: braised pork head meat, steamed buns, green onions. Xiang Xiaoqiang happily instructed everyone to spread out the steamed buns, spread the pork head meat cut into small pieces, add half of the cut green onions, and roll them to eat.

The so-called steamed bun is a kind of thin bread that is rolled out thinly and spread on an iron plate. It's a bit similar to Shandong's pancakes, but the pancakes are made with batter, and the steamed buns are rolled out into thin dough and then cooked. In the local dialect, it is called "steamed bun".

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Snail are originally northerners, so they naturally like to eat very much, although the other team members are southerners, but their parents are all from the north, and they grew up in a family that is used to living in the north, and they are also very accustomed to this very rude and enjoyable way of eating.

However, Miss Zhao and Xiao Wu, two southern girls, looked at a large pile of bread, green onions, and red pork pieces, and were a little stunned.

"Ah," Li Changgui patted his head, "Blame me, blame me, forget that we still have two young ladies here!" That's right, fortunately, Aunt Liu next door sent two catties of cut noodles yesterday, and now there are some left, wait, I'll go and give the next two bowls out, and then beat two eggs......"

As he spoke, he was about to go to the kitchen.

Miss Zhao hurriedly stood up and excused herself, telling him not to bother, and picked up a piece of pig's head meat on the spot and stuffed it into her mouth. Xiao Wu also followed her example and ate a piece of lower belly, but then she had a bitter face, looking very disgusted, peeking at Miss Zhao, wanting to vomit but not daring to vomit.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked in his eyes, thinking about the possible noble status of this Xiao Wu, and felt that it was an opportunity to win him over, so he immediately rolled a green onion patty, and wanted to go into the kitchen to give them noodles while eating.

Miss Zhao hurriedly followed in and said that she wanted to help. Stomach ache and Li Gensheng pressed Li Changgui to eat with a lot of eyes, and rolled him up with a meat patty, saying that he had worked hard and worked hard, so there was no need to follow up with the kitchen. It was a snail, stretching his neck to watch his aunt and Miss Zhao both enter the kitchen, his throat rolled twice, and he didn't say anything.

……

The wooden door closed behind him, and the kitchen was quiet, only Xiang Xiaoqiang and Miss Zhao were left.

Xiang Xiaoqiang squatted on the ground, looked at the hearth and added two shovels of coal, and the fire hook made the fire hot with three or two clicks. Strangely, this fire is not so difficult to fiddle with. Why did Miss Zhao ...... just now?

"Hehe," Miss Zhao behind her had nothing to say, as if she had seen through his thoughts, "It's easy to burn now, but it's hard for me to extinguish it just now." Alas, I'm so stupid......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang saw the flames licking the bottom of the pot, threw down the fire hook with satisfaction, patted the ashes and stood up, and said with a smile:

"Miss Zhao...... There are also five girls...... Ah no, it's Miss Five, hehe, where are they from? ”

A "five girls" came out, and Miss Zhao almost couldn't hold back her laughter. But she still lowered her eyebrows and said:

"Well, I'm from Nanjing. Xiao Wu is also from Jiangnan...... Isn't Mr. Xiang British-Chinese? How do you feel so familiar with the snacks here? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang sweated, and immediately found that he had unconsciously revealed a big flaw. He smiled and said:

"Hey, it's British, it's Chinese...... after all My father is a local and often tells me about the customs of my hometown...... Five Girls...... No, Miss Five's family is probably ...... Famous, right? ”

As he spoke, he took a bite of the dough roll and observed her expression as he chewed.

Miss Zhao leaned against the wooden door with her hands behind her back, bowed her head and said:

"Hehe, you see that she is not used to eating bread rolls and big meat...... How so? Primary 5...... Xiao Wu's family is still very good, but it happened three years ago...... In the midst of that turmoil, her father had the thugs killed...... She was young at the time, and I protected her and changed her name, and she has been following me ever since...... Hehe, no more can be said. ”

She squinted, as if she was still remembering the horrific incident that shocked the world three years ago.

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and he didn't bother to guess which one Miss Zhao was talking about. He thought as he ate the meatloaf. Listening to Miss Zhao's tone, this "Little Five" probably has nothing to do with Zhu Yourong. Unless three years ago, Zhu Ming's royal family really carried out a bloody coup, and the young "fifth princess" Zhu Moumou became a victim of the struggle, and was taken away by her personal guard, that is, Miss Zhao in front of her, and changed her name and surname since then, and went into exile...... But it's a bit too bloody. Xiang Xiaoqiang himself didn't believe it.

"Hehe, speaking of which," Miss Zhao smiled again, staring at the flames jumping in the hearth, and recalled, "Xiao Wu is not used to eating pork, but she can't be blamed for being pampered...... Because she hasn't eaten pork since she was a child...... In her hometown, well, I grew up there too...... People there generally don't eat meat, they mainly eat fish, a lot of fish, all kinds of fish. ”

Looking at Miss Zhao's leisurely appearance, Xiang Xiaoqiang also smiled:

"Yes, Jiangnan people, most of them are like this."

Many of his college classmates are from southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and those guys who grew up in water towns will never beat meat as long as there is fish when they cook in the cafeteria. Xiang Xiaoqiang has never understood what is delicious about the flat, fishy, and thorny things, how can they compare to the charm of large pieces of meat. Those southern classmates are so haunted by the soul of the fish, is it possible that the people who grew up in the water town are all cats?

"Ah, the water is boiling."

Xiang Xiaoqiang hurriedly stood up, took the bamboo plaque, grabbed a pile of raw noodles on it, and turned around and asked:

"How much can you two eat?"

"Hmm......" Miss Zhao hesitated, "I can eat a bowl of ......"

Pull out a handful of Xiang Xiaoqiang and throw it into the boiling water.

"Little Five...... Able to eat half a bowl ......"

Another handful was thrown in.

"Then you won't eat a little?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that there was still a little strip left in the bamboo plaque, which was definitely not enough for half a bowl, so he smiled and said:

"Well, I'll eat some noodles too. We're just going to finish it all for him. ”

Pour the rest into the pot and stir it with chopsticks.

Hehe, this feeling is good and warm.

In the past few years in the Ming Dynasty, even if you don't want to make meritorious contributions and don't want high-ranking officials, it's good to be able to live such a plain and happy life with a confidant.

"Hey, I said ......" Xiang Xiaoqiang turned his head, and found that Miss Zhao's face was also a little red, probably she also felt that the atmosphere was a little ambiguous.

Miss Zhao is worthy of being a professional, and the flush dissipates in a few seconds. She regained that confident, charming smile:

"What did you say?"

"I said ......" Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her and said stupidly, "I said...... What about eggs......"

Miss Zhao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, pointed to his hand and said:

"Eggs, don't you have them in your hands?"

"Ah, ah, yes, yes, in my hand, cough cough ......"

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang hurriedly filled the egg noodles, and Miss Zhao entered the house and beckoned Xiao Wu out.

The big and small beauties sat obediently on the benches in the kitchen, sitting in rows, dividing the noodles.

Xiang Xiaoqiang first filled half a bowl, poured a poached egg, and handed it to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu happily took it with both hands and bowed in thanks.

Then another bowl was served, a poached egg was poured on it, and it was handed to Miss Zhao. Miss Zhao smiled very gently:

"Thank you."

The left half of the bowl was served to himself, and Xiang Xiaoqiang held this bowl of clear water without eggs, looking at the big and small beauties very happy, and he felt very happy.

It's really ...... It's like a family of three!

But...... So what is Little Five? Well, let's count it as a sister-in-law first......

Just when Xiang Xiaoqiang was YY, there was a shout from the door with a stomachache and a low voice:

"Captain! Captain! Miss Zhao! Miss Zhao......"

Why is this guy so blind, he's picking up girls, this kid is too ......

It was a little louder:

"Captain! Miss Zhao! Come on in! Oh no! ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang took a look, put down the bowl, went out of the kitchen with Miss Zhao and Xiao Wu, and pushed the door into the house.

"What's going on?"

Everyone in the room crouched on the ground, clutching their weapons, as if they were facing a great enemy. When the two Heavy saw them enter, they closed the door, placed the "Woodpecker" in the doorway, and lay down.

Xiang Xiaoqiang asked sharply:

"What's going on?"

"Squat down," Li Gensheng motioned for them to lower their bodies and said nervously, "There are quite a few soldiers outside who are touching them." We seem to be surrounded. ”

Blow up Xiaoqiang's scalp: The last thing you want to happen has happened.
