Chapter 23: The Gift
"Vegetable garden?" Du Xiaowan only knows that the poor can grow vegetables by themselves, and the Ke family actually has their own vegetable garden, what will it be like?
"Uncle Wang, can I go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables," Du Xiaowan hadn't gone out since she entered the mansion, and when she heard that the vegetable garden wanted to go out and have a look.
"This, so I'll go with you," Uncle Wang didn't dare to let Du Xiaowan go out alone easily, but fortunately, the vegetable garden was a mile or two away from Kefu, so he agreed to Du Xiaowan.
Du Xiaowan was like a bird out of the cage, sitting on the vegetable cart and being very happy, walking out of Kefu like a back mountain, and seeing patches of green vegetable fields and a few tents in ten minutes, the car drove into the vegetable garden.
Du Xiaowan seemed to see patches of green earth, and muttered in a low voice, "Such a big land is called a vegetable garden?" What's that garden in my house? ”
All kinds of seasonal dishes are intricately arranged, not to mention how fresh, "Uncle Wang, there are so many dishes, the Ke family can't finish them?" Uncle Wang laughed and told Xiaowan that this is the Kejia planting base, and there are many varieties on the supermarket, and the fresher the better.
It's really poverty that limits her thoughts, Du Xiaowan doesn't know how much industry the Ke family has, following Uncle Wang, looking at all kinds of vegetables, Du Xiaowan picks some of this for a while, picks some that for a while, and the vegetable basket will be full after a while.
But she still couldn't get enough, but she really couldn't take it, and returned to Kefu with a full harvest, Du Xiaowan was in a very happy mood, and chatted with Uncle Wang about the past along the way.
Back in Kefu, Du Xiaowan moved the dishes to the kitchen, sorted them one by one, and wanted to eat the green dishes when he looked at them, but Uncle Wang suddenly received a call, saying that Ke Zhenhao would not come back to eat, and dinner was being arranged.
Uncle Wang put down the phone and came to the kitchen, "Xiaowan, let's eat by ourselves when we cook some work meals, and the young master won't come back for dinner at noon." ”
Du Xiaowan simply made a few dishes, everyone gathered around you and I was very happy to eat, Du Xiaowan was the first time to find that so many people liked the food she cooked, thinking that her stepmother had never praised her, her heart was sour, "Xiaowan eats vegetables, Xiaowan, what are you doing in a daze?" We're not going to leave it for you. ”
Hahaha.
Du Xiaowan came back to her senses, looked at everyone's happy appearance, and told herself that she had left her stepmother and must be happy in the future, but with Du Xiaowan's time in Ke's house, her heart also had subtle changes to Ke Zhenhao.
Time flies, Du Xiaowan has been in the Ke family for a few months, from strange to familiar has completely adapted to the rhythm of life of the Ke family, Du Xiaowan is not doing sundries, but taking care of Ke Zhenhao's diet and daily life full-time, and she is also the only woman in the Ke family.
I don't know why Du Xiaowan's food is like the unique aroma on her body, it is different, the same ingredients have a unique taste in her hands, Ke Zhenhao likes it very much, I don't know if it's the happy mood or the unique fragrance, Ke Zhenhao's headache seems to have been relieved a lot.
Du Xiaowan personally went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables every day, and the vegetable garden became the only place where Du Xiaowan could go out.
Du Xiaowan carried a basket, wore a gray uniform with an apron, combed two braids, and under the green background, she looked like Little Red Riding Hood who delivered food to her grandmother, and her smile was particularly sweet in the field.
Du Xiaowan picked some vegetables, picked some fruits, came back from the vegetable garden and began to clean the vegetables, she chopped the green vegetables into dices, and cut Jinhua ham, and the potatoes were also cut into small dices, and made a nutritious porridge, white fragrant rice, reddish-brown ham, warm yellow potatoes, green vegetables, several hours of boiling, well, fragrant.
The same is placed on the mahogany table, with white porcelain plates with shallow bottoms holding stir-fried shrimp and cold lettuce, and small steamed buns with multigrain noodles exude the aroma of corn bean noodles.
Regardless of the dish, the presentation is full of praise, and it is salivating when you look at it, and the ordinary ingredients are exquisitely made, and with exquisite tableware, it is really a work of art that can be eaten.
Ke Zhenhao came back from the company and changed into casual clothes, slightly loose casual clothes, less strict than the past, and a little more vibrant.
Ke Zhenhao began to taste each dish, the shrimp was fragrant but not fishy, the emerald green lettuce was crisp and delicious, the golden multigrain steamed bun noodles were full of fragrance, Du Xiaowan put a bowl of vegetable porridge and put it in front of Ke Zhenhao, the salty aroma of Jinhua ham, the sticky glutinous potatoes, plus green vegetables and white rice, sprinted Ke Shao's taste buds.
A simple dinner, the nutrition is very balanced, Ke Zhenhao returned to the study after the meal, and Uncle Wang brought a cup of Du Xiaowan's homemade tea to the study, "Young master, your tea." ”
Uncle Wang put down the tea and exited the study, Ke Zhenhao felt that his eyes were a little tired, picked up the cup of tea, opened the tea lid, the green and astringent fetal chrysanthemum, the fragrance of tangerine peel, the sour taste of hawthorn, and added rock sugar and wolfberry, which was very refreshing and helpful for digestion.
took a sip, it was a little sweet and sour, it was delicious, Ke Zhenhao put down the cup and called Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, this will be sent to Du Xiaowan for a while, even if it is a reward," Ke Zhenhao gave Du Xiaowan not only a reward, but also an agreement.
Uncle Wang took the gift box and came to Du Xiaowan's room, "Dangdang." ”
Du Xiaowan opened the door, "What's the matter, Uncle Wang?" Uncle Wang picked up the gift box and handed it to Du Xiaowan, "Young master, let me send it, take it." ”
Du Xiaowan covered her mouth with her hand in surprise, "Gave it to me?" Are you sure Uncle Wang gave it to me? ”
Du Xiaowan pointed to the gift box with an extremely surprised expression.
"Yes, it was given to you, the young master said that this is a reward for you, take it quickly," a smile filled Uncle Wang's face, Du Xiaowan took the gift box, thanked Uncle Wang and went back to the house, she looked at the exquisite gift box, guessing what would be in the box?
The blue long box, tied with a red ribbon knot, the color matching is very chic, Du Xiaowan untied the ribbon, opened the box, and a white lace dress came into view.
Du Xiaowan couldn't believe that Ke Zhenhao actually gave a skirt to herself?
Du Xiaowan gently stroked the white lace skirt, she had never worn such a good skirt since she was a child, she touched and touched, she was afraid of getting dirty, washed her hands, touched it, and tossed it back and forth several times before putting the skirt away and putting it in the box.
Du Xiaowan was reluctant to try, she felt that she didn't have a chance to wear such a good skirt, just take a look, just a week later, Du Xiaowan really wore this skirt.
Du Xiaowan was very happy to receive the gift, she didn't feel sleepy for a long time, she just looked at the box in a daze, and she fell asleep after being in a daze.
I got up early in the morning to make breakfast and came to Ke Shao's bedroom, "Dangdang, young master, it's time to eat." ”
After a while, Ke Shao opened the door, and as soon as he took a step, he saw Du Xiaowan standing at the door, "Why are you still standing here?"
