Chapter 175: In the Annex
After noon, I walked for another hour, and then I entered a courtyard in the back mountain of Xiaoqingliang Mountain, the courtyard occupies a huge area, divided into the front yard and the back yard, the backyard is full of strange flowers and plants, the layout is very elegant, and I don't know which rich and noble family's mansion was borrowed by the academy to make this overnight place.
There are many side rooms in the annex, and they have all been arranged in advance, and one side room can accommodate six people, but it can arrange all these female students in the west courtyard.
Mr. Dong led a few rough old women over, and assigned the female students of the West Courtyard to the side room one by one, and said to everyone with a cold face,
"There are already a lot of things prepared in this courtyard, and there is no girl by your side to serve you, so you have to do it all yourself......"
Pointing to the northwest corner of the courtyard,
"There's a stove room there, so you can make your own dinner today!"
It was only at this time that everyone realized that they had come to this small Qingliang Mountain not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to suffer, and they immediately collapsed their faces.
"Mr. ......"
Mr. Dong glared at everyone and said,
"Don't talk much, if you don't know how to do it, go hungry, stay until tomorrow night and go back to the city!"
Ignoring the wailing of everyone, he led the mother-in-law away.
Xia Xiaomei also pulled Han Qi's sleeve with a broken face and said,
"Sister Qi'er, what should I do? I don't have much left to eat in that baggage, you ...... Do you know how to cook? ”
Han Qi nodded slightly, thought about it and asked the other four,
"Are you going to cook in the stove together?"
The four of them looked at each other, and one of them hesitated,
"Sir doesn't take us seriously, does he?"
They are pampered and wealthy ladies in the family, and they have been serving around since they were children, and now they feel very embarrassed to let them do it themselves.
and humane,
"Han Qi, if you know how to do it, make more, let's use it together, okay?"
Han Qi frowned and thought for a while,
"It's just a meal left and right, but it doesn't matter, just according to my view, the academy's move is to test us, if you are not afraid of Mr. blame, it is not that you can't share it!"
Those who thought of Mr. Dong's cold face, they were all afraid, they looked at each other and didn't speak, Xia Xiaomei snorted when she saw this,
"Even if you want to eat, you can do it yourself, but it's just a meal, how can you get it...... Just hurt your daughter's jade finger? ”
The four of them sat there, but they would not speak.
Han Qi looked at the four of them,
"Even if you don't want to move, we'll go first!"
Saying that, she pulled Xia Xiaomei out, Xia Xiaomei hummed,
"The big guys in this place are all average, they are favored at home, and we are not bad at home, so why do we have to do a good job to serve them!"
It's not that I want to bully people by relying on my family background because my father, brother and children are older!
Han Qi responded,
"Don't worry about this, when you get hungry later, there will be no young ladies and girls, and there will be no distinction between big and small officials! Let's go to the stove and see what's in store......"
The two of them went to the stove and took a look, and sure enough, the rice, noodles, oil, firewood, etc. were all very complete, but all of them were raw, and there was nothing that could be directly imported.
Xia Xiaomei grabbed a handful of vegetables in her hand and asked Han Qi,
"Sister Qi, do you really know how to do it?"
Han Qi nodded, looked at the sky outside and responded,
"Although it is a little earlier to cook at this time, it also has the advantage of being early, and we did it at this time, so as not to be crowded and not be able to get in line later!"
Xia Xiaomei said happily,
"Sister Qi is so good, not only is she good at reading, but she can even cook!"
Han Qi smiled,
"This is a normal thing, and what is there to boast about!"
The lady of the official family is known as a good cook, that is just the people to raise the fire, all kinds of ingredients are prepared aside, the young lady to the stove to fry a few times, bring out a plate of dishes can already be praised by everyone, like this to roll up the sleeves, lift the skirt, take firewood to make a fire, carry water to wash the pot, but don't think about it!
However, Han Qi is a human being in two lives, and she has never done any kind of subordinate work in the Teaching Workshop Division in her previous life, so this little thing is not difficult for her!
At that moment, Han Qi instructed Xia Xiaomei to go outside to carry water, and she inspected the kitchen, thinking that Xia Xiaomei's meal was not small, but she didn't dare to be stingy with white rice, so she took a small bowl out to hold rice, and after washing, she went to the pot to stew rice, and washed and washed it, cut and chop, Xia Xiaomei stood there and saw that her eyes were shining, Han Qi ordered a move, and ran around to lay down her hands.
It took about half an hour, Han Qi had already sorted out four dishes, a big bowl of rice came, Xia Xiaomei leaned over and sniffed and sniffed, praised,
"Sister Qi, your skills are comparable to our cook!"
Han Qi smiled and said,
"I'm also rarely hands-on, today is in a hurry, and the right will be used!"
Saying that, she pressed the fire in the stove, put the four dishes and chopsticks in the tray, she held it in front, Xia Xiaomei held the rice bowl in the back, the two turned back to the house, and the other four people were still talking in the room, seeing that the two had brought out the food, they were all a little surprised, and came over to take a look, and praised,
"Your craftsmanship is so good!"
Han Xia and the others didn't speak, they sat down and took the dishes and chopsticks to eat, the four of them saw this, you look at me, I look at you, someone just wanted to speak, but Xia Xiaomei glared at her and said angrily,
"If you don't go to the front to help, you still want to eat ready-made ...... at this time."
She became famous in the academy, and there are few people in the official family who don't care about her face, and everyone is a little afraid of her, and listen to Xia Xiaomei,
"Don't blame us for not reminding you earlier, there is no one in the stove at this time, you used it in the past, if you go too late and let others take it, you will wait to starve!"
There are six side rooms in this courtyard, and there is only one shared stove room, which is half an hour in one room, and it takes three hours.
The four of them all looked at each other when they heard this, and hurriedly lifted their skirts and went out.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaomei snorted at Han Qi,
"Let them help in front, they push back, and when they are done, they will take advantage of it......"
As he spoke, he gave Han Qi a chopstick dish,
"You are too honest to be bullied, and you are as fierce as I am, so they don't dare to get an inch!"
Han Qi smiled and nodded,
"Sister Xia's words are extremely right!"
Some things can be settled after the fact, but if you can slap your face, it is also very pleasant!
However, Han Qi is a chronic child, even if she wants to take revenge on others, she has to think and think about it, but she lacks the courage of Xia Xiaomei to do it in person, so she also admires Miss Xia very much.
"Sister Xia's courage is comparable to Zhang Fei, and a husband is a key ......"
Xia Xiaomei laughed when she heard this, and reached out to screw her,
"Sister Qi will also tease people now!"
The two of them ran out of food, most of the four dishes went into Xia Xiaomei's stomach, and all the white rice was swept away, Xia Xiaomei hummed and hugged her stomach and leaned on the chair.
"It's so full! I didn't expect Sister Qi'er's craftsmanship to be so good! ”
Han Qi was afraid that she would accumulate food, so she took her out to wash the dishes, and as soon as she went out, she saw the smoke billowing from the stove room, and both of them were shocked.
"It's ...... Is this going to burn down the house? ”
Xia Xiaomei likes to see the excitement the most, and hurriedly pulled Han Qi over to take a look, but she saw that there were many people outside the stove room, and everyone was looking to watch it, but saw that in the thick smoke, Xu Miaoling ran out of it in embarrassment, Xia Xiaomei's chaotic appearance couldn't help but sneer, Xu Miaoling glared at the two of them angrily,
"What's so funny? If you have the ability, you can go! ”
Xia Xiaomei shook the washed dishes in her hand triumphantly,
"We've used it for a long time!"
said with a look of contempt to Xu Miaoling,
"You don't know how to raise the fire, it's okay, make this stove a miasma, and let others go in!"
Xu Miao's body trembled with anger, and she wanted to scold two sentences but was very afraid of Miss Xia's skills, and now she was alone, and she couldn't beat one by one, let alone with one against two!
Han Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Miss Xia, looked at the crowd who were still waiting outside, and said to Xu Miaoling,
"That's it! After all, you can't delay everyone because of you, I'll help you raise the fire! ”
Then he went in with the smoke that filled the house, took out all the firewood stuffed in the stove, and set the hay on fire with flint, and raised the fire in the stove, got up and clapped his hands, and went out to the outside world.
"The fire has risen, you can use it one by one, remember not to add too much firewood to it......"
turned around and asked Xia Xiaomei to return the dishes to their original places, and then they went out of the stove together.
After the two of them walked away, Xia Xiaomei muttered,
"I think the surname Xu is the most treacherous, what do you do for her?"
Han Qi smiled and said,
"She can't even raise the fire, do you think she will choose vegetables and cut meat?"
After helping her in front of everyone like this, she still won't do it herself, wouldn't we have betrayed her again and slapped her in the face even more?
Xia Xiaomei laughed when she heard this,
"Sister Qi, you are the worst ......"
Pretend to be benevolent and generous, but I'm afraid that if you sell someone, that person will have to help you count the money!
Han Qi shook his head with a smile and said,
"I said a long time ago that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if she didn't make it first, why would I have to embarrass her!"
Speaking of the fight in front of Sister Xia, the cause was also the grievance between herself and Xu Miaoling, although she didn't know why she got into this inexplicable grievance, but after all, you can't let people bully you and still don't fight back!
After the two of them finished eating, they wandered around in this courtyard, watching the beautiful scenery in this courtyard, the owner here is an elegant person, the courtyard layout is scattered and chic, the small sees the big, the big and the exquisite, there is some artistic conception, the two wander around, eliminate the accumulated food, see that the sky is getting dark, and then plan to go back to the house to rest.
Turning back into the house, the other four people have also turned around, and are laying beds in the house, although there are beds in this room, but all the furnishings on them should be removed, and they still need to do it themselves.
