Chapter 46: Porridge, a little salty
Caroline got up before dawn.
Without alarming anyone, she crept into the kitchen, brought firewood herself, and lit the wood chips with a lighter to ignite the firewood.
The fire machine was naturally left by Zhang Feng.
"Ahem~"
The firewood was a little wet, and the smoke from burning made Caroline choke her eyes.
But she didn't give up, and when the firewood was completely burned, she put the washed rice in a pot and boiled it with water, and then put some chopped minced meat, shredded green onions, and shredded ginger.
This is the step she memorized when she watched Zhang Feng cook rice porridge, and she should be right...... Right?
While the porridge was cooking, she boiled a few eggs in another pot.
However, Zhang Feng mentioned that Caroline didn't know much about the method of boiling soft-boiled eggs in five minutes, especially the time unit of one minute, she was a little confused, but Zhang Feng said that one minute is sixty seconds, and one second is the time to count a number.
Five minutes is 300 counts.
As soon as Caroline put the eggs in the pot, she closed the lid and stared at the pot to start counting.
"One, two, three...... Two hundred and ninety-nine, three hundred! β
In an instant, Caroline quickly opened the pot, and regardless of the heat from the shop, she held a large spoon and quickly filled the eggs, as if she could not stay for a second.
"Whew~Whew~"
The egg was so hot that Caroline didn't dare to hold it with her hands, so she had to blow it first and then carefully place it in the bowl with a spoon.
The smoke in the kitchen was already a bit louder.
"Gollum~"
At this time, the pot where the porridge was cooking was boiling, and Caroline came to the other side non-stop, opened the lid of the pot, and the fragrance was instantly fragrant.
Caroline's eyes narrowed with joy, it's the smell, that's right!
"Oh yes, and steamed buns!"
Caroline hurried to find the steamed buns, because the steamed buns were cooked and easy to spoil if they were not stored properly, so they were not put together with these things.
There were not a few steamed buns left, and Caroline brought them all.
Then boil a pot of water again, use a few bamboo sticks to put on the water surface in the pot, and put some hard steamed buns in it.
But at this time, Caroline discovered another major problem - the stove pit was not burning!
She brought a large bundle of firewood again, added all her brains to the stove pit, and then took a burning piece of wood from the next stove and stuffed it into the stove pit.
"Ahem~"
The smoke from the three stove pits was very choking, but there was no way, it had come to this point, and Caroline could only bite the bullet.
After the water in the pot boiled, Caroline quickly inserted the steamed bun with a knife and placed it on a plate.
"Well, it's already soft, so fragrant!"
The scent of the white-flour steamed buns made Caroline swallow, but she didn't forget her mission.
"Huh? What does it taste like? β
Caroline's nose moved, and she smelled a strange smell!
Suddenly I had a bad premonition!
Caroline put down the steamed bun and hurriedly went to the stove where the porridge was cooking.
A faint mushy smell crept into his nose.
"It's over, it's over......"
Caroline didn't care about the heat, and took out the porridge with hot steam, and the bottom of the pot was already burned, and the whole pot of porridge smelled of mush.
Caroline was a little frustrated, but she still didn't give up, she carefully picked out the black parts of the porridge with a spoon, and a small pot of white lean porridge was presented to her.
Although it still smells mushy, it doesn't seem to be any different from Zhang Feng's appearance anymore.
At this time, several servants arrived in a panic.
"There was a fire in the kitchen! Helpβuh, ma'am? β
The servants saw Caroline, who had a dirty face, and for a moment they didn't know what was going on.
"It's okay, there's no fire, you guys should retreat first!"
Caroline feigned composure and let them go.
The servants looked at the things on the stove, probably figured out the situation, and hurriedly retreated.
But as the servants retreated, a bolder maid whispered:
"Madam, the chimney doesn't seem to be open......"
After speaking, he quietly retreated.
Caroline's face turned red and she was a little embarrassed. She knew where the switch was to open the chimney, but she had forgotten about it.
After quickly turning on the switch on the chimney, the smoke ran up, and the air in the kitchen was indeed much cleaner.
Caroline put the lean porridge and put it on the tray, then put the steamed buns and eggs on it, and she personally carried the tray towards Zhang Feng's room.
By this time, the sky had turned white, and the servants had gotten up and started their work.
Caroline greeted the faint morning light and carefully brought breakfast to the outside of Zhang Feng's room.
"Will Master Zhang Feng be happy to see the breakfast I made later?"
"But my porridge seems to be boiled, I wonder if it will taste unpalatable?"
"I'm a little worried that it won't suit Lord Zhang Feng's taste, but I'm here......"
Caroline cleared the clutter of thoughts from her head and she took a deep breath.
Knock knock!
"Lord Zhang Feng, breakfast is ready, I'll bring it to you!"
There is no echo inside.
Caroline asked again, but there was still no answer in the room.
Knock knock!
Caroline's face suddenly showed a hint of panic, and she gently pushed the door, only to find that the door was not locked, and opened as soon as she pushed it.
She took her breakfast and walked in cautiously.
But the room was empty.
"Are you gone......"
Caroline's tone was a little nervous and lonely, and she didn't know what was going on, so she felt that her heart was in turmoil now.
She went to the study again, and there was no one either.
"Really gone......"
Caroline was very afraid that Zhang Feng would never return, but Zhang Feng promised her that he would definitely come back, which made Caroline very conflicted, and she didn't know whether to believe him or not.
Because judging from the things Zhang Feng took out and the daily life situation, the place where Zhang Feng is located is definitely not comparable to Red Leaf City, and Red Leaf City is far inferior!
Perhaps in Zhang Feng's view, Red Leaf City is an ignorant and backward place!
In the face of such a poor place, will he really come back?
Caroline couldn't tell why she was so afraid of Zhang Feng leaving.
It stands to reason that the current Red Leaf City will be on the right track soon, and even without Zhang Feng, Red Leaf City will be able to survive.
But why do you care so much about Zhang Feng in your heart?
Thinking that Zhang Feng might never come back, Caroline suddenly felt a little pain in her heart.
Caroline, who was a little confused, picked up the porridge she had cooked and tasted it.
"It's a little salty......"
β¦β¦
On the other side, Zhang Feng opened his eyes and saw the familiar nest, and he was in a good mood.
Turning over and getting up, Zhang Feng's heart moved, and the exotic clothes on his body immediately turned into long sleeves, jeans, and sneakers.
He went to the fridge to get a box of yogurt, licked the cap, and muttered:
"I don't know what Caroline eats in the morning, if it weren't for me, it wouldn't be boiled meat in salt water again! But she's so stupid that she can't even cook! β
Shaking his head, Zhang Feng didn't have any hope for Caroline's cooking skills, after all, the omelettes could be fried, what else could he expect?
Buzz~Buzz~
At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, Zhang Feng took it out and took a look, good guy, dozens of missed calls!
Except for a few calls from Lin Yulan, the others were all unfamiliar numbers, and Zhang Feng estimated that it should be Wang Boyu, a treasure appreciation expert.
Seeing him make so many calls, there should be something urgent, could it be that there is a new situation in the previous antiques?
Seeing that the other party was not bad, and he had earned 500,000 yuan from him, Zhang Feng felt that he should call back immediately, after all, he seemed to be in a hurry.
So Zhang Feng broadcast it to Lin Yulan's number.
