Chapter 406: Hu Xi and Shi Xuan
Shi Qingran had nothing to do in the house, and after taking a nap in the room alone, he went to the flower hall. Shi Xuan hadn't come back today, so Shi Qingran sat at the dining table in the flower hall, waiting for Shi Xuan to come back.
Today's dinner is also very rich, and in front of Shi Qingran is a large arowana that is very delicately sliced. The chef's knife skills in Fuchu are excellent, and the Arowana fillet is as thin as a cicada's wing, and after being poured with hot oil, it is cooked just right. The Arowana is full of color and fragrance, and there are a lot of big ingredients such as Sichuan pepper and star anise, which smells very fragrant.
This kind of fish is tender and melts in the mouth, and there are no small fish bones, which is the first choice for rich children to eat fish.
Shi Qingran is not talented, because he has an older brother who has a very developed business mind, so he is naturally included in the category of children of rich families.
At this time, Hu Xi'er came in with another plate of sauce elbows and placed it beside Shi Qingran. The sauce elbow was cut into small pieces by the chef in the house along the rib lines, so it didn't taste too ugly. The sauce elbow is also full of color and flavor, and it is much stronger than the ham elbow I tried to make before.
Sure enough, a cook in the house has a characteristic of the house. If you change to the chef of the palace, you may not be able to make such delicious sauce elbow and arowana!
Shi Qingran was drooling greedily, when she saw Hu Xi'er saying hello to her, and moved the big arowana in front of her a little more, and put a plate of pumpkin pie in front of Shi Qingran.
"Miss, this pumpkin pie is freshly baked by the chef in the house, if you are hungry, you can eat some first to cushion your stomach." Hu Xi'er was smart and clever, and knew that Shi Qingran was probably hungry, so she was also very thoughtful.
Shi Qingran was not polite, and used chopsticks to clip a baby's fist-sized pumpkin pie and stuffed it into his mouth. The pumpkin pie is crispy and sweet, and I have to say that the chef in the house is not bad.
Previously, because of the ham elbow incident, Shi Qingran was quite dissatisfied with the chef in the house. Now a pumpkin pie has made Shi Qingran forget about the ham elbow.
In fact, the ham elbow in the house is not badly done. There is just a poem, called that once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud. After eating the ham elbow in the Zhennan Palace, I am afraid that the taste of other places is not that taste.
Fortunately, there is not only such a dish as ham elbow in the world, you can't eat delicious ham elbow, but also big arowana, sauce elbow, and pumpkin pie! Shi Qingran didn't have to be disappointed.
"Delicious, delicious!" Shi Qingran nodded approvingly, and reached out to grab another piece of pumpkin pie.
Seeing Hu Xi'er again, Shi Qingran remembered the last time, when he talked about Shi Xuan's marriage in front of Hu Xi, Shi Xuan's face was flushed. At that time, Shi Qingran had some doubts, did Shi Xuan and Hu Xi have some sparks of love?
Now that Shi Xuan is not in the mansion, Shi Qingran thought that he would take this opportunity to ridicule Hu Xi'er, maybe he could find out some shocking gossip.
Thinking like this, Shi Qingran coughed twice and smiled at Hu Xi'er: "Xi'er, are you on an errand in the kitchen?"
"It's not." Xi'er replied truthfully: "The slave maid is the maid in the young master's room, serving the young master's diet and daily life."
"Oh!" Shi Qing nodded clearly: "In the past, my brother never wanted a personal maid." It seems that in the six months since I left, he has changed a lot. ”
"In any case, the young master and the young lady are the same mother, and the young master always loves and loves the young lady in his heart."
Of course Shi Qingran knows this!
"Hey!" Shi Qingran shook his head again pretending to be sad and sighed: "It's a pity, my brother is in his twenties and hasn't married yet, and I, as a younger sister, am really worried about him."
"After all, my brother is a man who doesn't know how to take care of himself. The people in the house are thin, if I can have a sister-in-law, take care of the housework, and take care of my brother's daily life, I, as a sister, can always rest assured. ”
Shi Qingran spoke earnestly, and when the people on the side heard it, they glanced at Shi Qingran with disgust. Shi Qingran has always been a big grin, and today he doesn't know what kind of madness he is, so he said these words in front of Hu Xi'er.
Although Shi Qingran said that he had been married, he was not yet seventeen, so how funny he looked at when he said this.
"Miss." Hu Xi'er smiled faintly at Shi Qingran: "Marriage is such a thing, and it still pays attention to fate. The young master is a talent, and he treats people very well, so he must have met a very good woman. ”
Shi Qingran listened, and looked up at Hu Xi again. Shi Qingran felt that Hu Xi was very good. Hu Xier is beautiful but not demonic, and she is also very reliable and careful in her speech and deeds, giving people a feeling of knowing the world but not being sophisticated.
Such a woman is the most heart-warming, although she is the identity of a slave, but Shi Qingran believes that if Hu Xier is the master of the Shi family, she will definitely carry forward the Shi family.
Because last time, when she saw Hu Xi'er looking at her stupid girl's sister, her eyes were full of shining light.
"Xi'er, it's good for me to see you!" Shi Qingran looked at Hu Xi'er and nodded very firmly.
"Miss." When Hu Xi'er heard this, she was not happy, but frowned lightly, and saluted Shi Qingran: "Miss praised it falsely, the young master is kind to Xi'er." Xi'er came from a humble background, and she didn't dare to think too much, so she just wanted to have a shelter from the wind and rain in Shijia Villa. ”
"Xi'er, I'm just saying it casually." Shi Qingran said, and stuffed another pumpkin pie into his mouth: "You don't have to be too nervous."
Xi'er's performance made Shi Qingran a little confused. Perhaps, there is nothing between Shi Xuan and Hu Xi'er, it is because he is in a hurry to find a sister-in-law for his brother, so he will mistake Shi Xuan's intentions.
"Yes." Xi'er said before standing up.
"Yes." At this time, Shi Xuan entered the flower hall from the outside, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his expression seemed to have a faint flush: "What are you talking about?" ”
I don't know if Shi Xuan heard what Shi Qingran and Hu Xi'er said just now.
"Young master." Hu Xi'er glanced at Shi Xuan and replied with a smile: "Miss likes the pumpkin pie made by the chef in the house very much, and just now said that the pumpkin pie is delicious." ”
Hearing Hu Xi'er's answer, Shi Xuan's eyebrows stretched a lot, and a smile spread on his face: "This is their newly learned dish, if you like to eat, you can let the chef in the house cook more." ”
"Although the cooks in the house can't make ham and elbows, but if you want to eat the rest, I think they can do it well." After all, the chefs in the palace are the leaders in the cooking world, and it is not so simple to learn their craft so quickly.
"Hmm." Shi Qingran replied lightly, and his heart was also moved. Although Shi Xuan is always busy working outside on weekdays, he has always cared about himself.
