In the newly bought mansion, a pot of hot water was boiled for the little girl to bathe and change clothes, Jiang Huaiyu cleaned up the kitchen by the way, and it didn't take long for the person who sent the bed to come, Jiang Huaiyu bought two beds made of camphor wood, the fragrance was looming, and it could expel mosquitoes.

One is placed in the bedroom of the main house, and the other is placed in the bedroom of the west wing first, although the next person sleeps in the inverted room, but now there are only Jiang Huaiyu and her two adults, and she really let the little girl's family sleep close to the door, and she can't bear it.

Besides, Jiang Huaiyu doesn't have to challenge the current system, and insists on being on an equal footing with the maid who spent money to buy, but she will also give the respect she deserves, and she should be the boss and invite an employee with food and accommodation.

After the little girl washed and changed into apricot yellow clothes, she instantly made people's eyes shine, and her white little face was not cowardly, but like a shuttle tree standing in the wind.

Jiang Huaiyu praised: "What a white and lovely child, why did he make it so black." ”

"If you escape all the way here with your father from outside the Saiwai, if you don't get dusty dirt, you will be eaten." The little girl was silent for a moment before answering softly.

"Cannibalism!?" Jiang Huaiyu's eyes widened in surprise.

Just thinking about it, she sighed silently, this situation is not uncommon in the records, but she didn't expect that there would be such a tragedy in the Great Cloud Country, which was full of flowers and singing and dancing.

"Do you have a name?" Jiang Huaiyu asked.

The little girl said gloomily: "Daddy calls me Xiaocao." ”

However, she was also very sensible, and immediately looked at Jiang Huaiyu with a serious expression and said: "You must be a good person, just like that gentleman, since you brought me back, Xiaocao will definitely serve the lady and the young master with all her heart." ”

Although Xiaocao has never read a book, she has wandered all the way to Beijing and has seen how rich and noble families get along.

Jiang Huaiyu is rarely soft-hearted, but after watching this child suffer for a long time, she is still as strong as her name Xiaocao.

"As long as you are diligent and willing to do it, I will not treat you badly." Jiang Huaiyu smiled at her soothingly.

Xiaocao's dim eyes finally shone slightly, and she made a nondescript salute to Jiang Huaiyu very awkwardly: "Whatever Madame says in the future, Xiaocao will recruit her!" ”

After thinking about it, he added: "It will be done well!" ”

Jiang Huaiyu couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, you go and rest first." ”

"I'm going to have to keep a vigil for you, right? Madame, don't worry, Xiaocao will never fall asleep, you can say anything at night! Xiaocao's face is only a little bigger than a palm, but her expression is very serious.

"Well, I don't need you to keep vigil, besides, if you don't sleep all night tonight, who will clean up the house with me tomorrow?"

Jiang Huaiyu was about to amuse this girl's Gengzhi, her expression was indifferent, and she couldn't hold the sugar packet to free her hand, so she went directly to the main house.

Seeing her disappear in the main house, Xiao Caoben was at a loss and even a little in a panicked mood, which had already calmed down Jiang Huaiyu's words before.

Xiaocao touched the small wooden sign hanging around her neck, it was the only thing her father had left.

"Dad, there are really a lot of good people in this world,"

She thought she was a good child in her father's mouth, so Xiaocao never cried, but when her father passed away, she couldn't hold back crying, Xiaocao raised her hand and touched her face, touching her tears.

Sleeping in your own room naturally feels different.

Early in the morning, I can vaguely hear the sound of selling outside, but it is not noisy, but it is the sugar bag that this guy will call his mother, as long as he wakes up, he likes to call her from time to time.

"Mother~"

"Hey!" Jiang Huaiyu lazily answered.

The little guy immediately ran out of words, and he was only a few months old and was able to call his mother is already very remarkable, but his mother actually answered himself.

Sugar Packet's small eyes were full of big doubts, and then he simply sold it cutely, and screamed twice.

After teasing the sugar bun, Jiang Huaiyu hugged him and prepared to go to the kitchen to get some food.

There are a lot of things in Beijing, and there is a milk paste for children, which is not easy to preserve, so Jiang Huaiyu bought some town in the well, and prepared to get up this morning and steam it hot and feed it to him.

To be busy cleaning up the house and preparing to make handmade soap and bath beans, I can only toss like this.

Fortunately, Sugar Bun is also a good baby, and he has grown up day by day in such a rough day, and his appearance is still Yuxue cute.

As soon as Jiang Huaiyu walked out of the main house with the child in her arms, she saw that Xiaocao was already sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard with a broom.

"Madam, you're awake, I've boiled the porridge, and the little master's milk paste is also hot, I'll bring it to you." As soon as Xiaocao looked up, she saw Jiang Huaiyu, and immediately lowered her head slightly and said.

She was so familiar with these caring jobs that it was distressing, Jiang Huaiyu sighed lightly, and then smiled: "Okay, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" We'll eat together later, and when you're done, go out with me to buy something. ”

"Hmm!"

Xiaocao hurriedly swept the fallen leaves aside and walked to the kitchen with a broom.

Soon the two people who had used the porridge and side dishes took the children to the west of the city, yesterday they had bought some firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and put them at home, and today Jiang Huaiyu wanted to buy some Chinese medicinal materials and beef fat.

I plan to go home and make a batch of handmade soap first, not to mention whether it sells or not, at least let myself use it first, and I also have to make some bath beans, the weather is hot, both children and adults are prone to prickly heat.

For example, the bath beans made of jade can make the skin extremely tender and smooth, and can even be accompanied by a sweet aroma, after all, they are all used as raw materials for medicinal materials and fragrant flowers.

With Xiaocao helping to carry some things, Jiang Huaiyu was much more relaxed.

The two of them were busy all day, only to feel that their feet were not like their own, and finally the east wing was full.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is piled up, the Chinese medicinal materials cost her a total of seventeen taels of silver, and some of the flowers she needs still need to be bought by the guys in the pharmacy, and the original price can be charged a little luckily.

Although Xiaocao wondered what Jiang Huaiyu was going to do, she didn't ask, just silently did what she was told.

At noon, I dealt with it casually outside, and when it was dark, Jiang Huaiyu felt hungry, but Xiaocao carried things and gurgled and didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's sort out the rest when tomorrow's flowers are delivered, and make dinner with me first." Jiang Huaiyu beckoned to her.

There are a bunch of knowledge and skills in her head, Jiang Huaiyu doesn't want to hide them, she wants to see what Xiaocao is suitable for, and then teach her a skill, of course, it also takes time to test, and now she is just familiar with it and doesn't know the roots.

Jiang Huaiyu also didn't want to pass on what he knew to a person with a bad character.

Xiaocao wanted to say that it would be good for her to do the rough work, but she fled all the way to Beijing, how to serve people and learn when she watched those powerful people get along with her subordinates, but when she made food, she would only boil porridge at most.

Suddenly afraid that he would be too useless, Xiaocao blushed and followed behind Jiang Huaiyu.

Entering the kitchen, Jiang Huaiyu was very satisfied with the space that was larger than the kitchen at Wangjia Village, and then Xiaocao began to clean the vegetables according to her instructions.

The little girl had a lot of strength, and it was easy to carry the water in, Jiang Huaiyu simply gave her the time to chop the meat, and cut the water chestnuts and cleaned up a grass carp in a wooden basin.

Shangjing is located in the Central Plains, all kinds of resources are very rich, there are four pounds of grass carp only two pennies, counting miscellaneous vegetables, water chestnuts and the like, only spent five pennies.

Of course, this is also because the people of Shangjing do not like to eat grass carp very much, although the fish meat is delicious, but there are many spines, and the cooking is mostly fried, which is troublesome and not delicious to eat, and it is easy to let the thorns get stuck.

Except for families with little money, few people will buy these and make them at home.

Jiang Huaiyu used to cook by herself when she was alone, and after she skillfully killed the fish and removed the scales, she quickly picked out the thorns with a small knife.

It's not that there are no chefs here who can pick thorns, but Xiaocao has never seen it, his eyes widened, and his mouth was round: "Madam, you ......"

"You haven't eaten fish balls, have you? Today, we will make Dao Eight Treasure Fish Balls, and after eating, our days will be fulfilled. After Jiang Huaiyu finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

She found that her mentality was becoming more and more Buddhist, probably because she had a child to take with her, and she had more thoughts than when she was single before.

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she used a knife to chop the fish balls into a meat puree, chop the water-filled, sweet and crisp water chestnuts into it, add some pine nuts, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, chop them finely, and then put them in a porcelain basin and add two eggs.

When she added eggs, she remembered: "Xiaocao, remember to remind me when we come back tomorrow, buy some hens and chicks nearby, and let's make a chicken pen in the open space outside the kitchen, so that you can have eggs for sugar packets every day to replenish your body." ”

When Xiaocao heard this, she only felt that her eyes were going to be hot again, and Jiang Huaiyu's expression was as usual, as if she had said something insignificant.

"Hmm!"

Jiang Huaiyu then whipped the fish puree in the porcelain basin until it was gelatinized, and at this time a few green onions were placed in the pot, and she used a spoon to squeeze and scrape the fish puree into balls at a uniform speed, and the hot but unboiled water immediately formed the balls.

It wasn't until a layer of white and delicate balls floated on the surface of the water that Jiang Huaiyu went to clean the knife and anvil and spoon, letting Xiaocao stare at the fire.

As soon as the water boiled, the meatballs were immediately fished out, and the soup at this time was also very sweet, so it was used to blanch the cabbage.

The pot on the other side was already stuffy with wild rice, and this kind of rice tasted good, so Jiang Huaiyu discarded the original rice and bought a bag of wild rice instead.

Jiang Huaiyu thought about it, thinking that it would be too hypocritical for the two of them to have a child, and to go to the main house to eat, so he simply let Xiaocao set up a table and eat in the small courtyard outside the kitchen.

Xiaocao is naturally what Jiang Huaiyu tells him to do.

Soon, the lanterns were lit, and in the hazy moonlight, there was a plate of emerald green cabbage on the square table, a porcelain pot of eight-treasure fish balls floating in the clear soup, and a pot of wild rice.

Jiang Huaiyu made a bowl of soup for Xiaocao with a male spoon, and a few white and cute balls in the bowl were decorated with green onions, which made people very appetizing when they looked at it.

Xiaocao was flattered, her face flushed and she snorted, "Thank you, madam." ”

In fact, she was supposed to serve Jiang Huaiyu to eat, but Jiang Huaiyu felt that she had hands and feet, so she asked her to be a half-old girl to pick up vegetables, so she asked her to sit down and eat together.
