Chapter 68 The Distinguished Guest Who Came to Eat
Why did you hit the muzzle of the gun again, is it that the comfortable days have been too long, and you have nothing to do and want to find something to do? Secretly regretted it for a while, Mai Xiaohuan thought that he would be punished anyway, so he simply didn't do anything, and took the opportunity to ask Zhou Yue if he knew about Brother Qu's situation.
Mai Xiaohuan looked up at Zhou Yue and said very sincerely: "Young Master Yue, I did something wrong, I admit punishment, but I want to ask you about something, if you know, can you tell me!" ”
"It's because of this incident that you don't give up every day!" Hum! Just listen to what she wants to ask.
"I, Brother Qu, am the son of the Qujun Shoujia, do you know the test results? How many places did he win? ”
Turns out she didn't want to go home! Zhou Yue's heart was relieved at the same time, but also a little pantothenic, this girl and Qu Hao should not spend as much time with themselves as they do! Listening to her talk about what kind of tone Qu Hao is and what kind of tone she talks to herself, it is a world of difference.
As far as he knew, Qu Hao had returned to Qingcheng County, and the results were about to come out in the next few days. Should this news be told to her? Why do you want to get valuable information when you do something wrong!
Zhou Yue wanted to appreciate Mai Xiaohuan's eager expression, and then walked away, but when he met the big clear and bright eyes, he couldn't help but confide what he knew.
He didn't know why he was like a demon, he said those words uncontrollably, seeing Mai Xiaohuan's bright smile, thinking about the stupid things he had done, Zhou Yue really flicked his sleeves and "walked away".
"You...... You...... Seeing that you are angry with the child, I will punish you for one night in the study today, and you are not allowed to eat dinner, remember? Xiaofuzi ran out to chase after the master, and pointed his finger at Mai Xiaohuan and ordered.
"Remembered." Mai Xiaohuan smiled and waved his hand at Xiaofuzi, go and chase your master! You can skip dinner and have a snack!
The palm lamp was very ten, Xiaoquanzi sent a quilt to Mai Xiaohuan, and Mai Xiaofang secretly stuffed in a bag of food, two braised eggs, three snacks and a handful of dried sweet potatoes. With these, I won't have to worry about it tonight, Mai Xiaohuan hummed a tune, looking for a place to eat and sleep.
In the next few days, Zhou Yue didn't give Mai Xiaohuan a good look, she didn't care, she was more attentive than before when she worked, and when she was done, she went back to her yard and stayed honestly, since people don't care about themselves, it's always right to hide!
It just so happens that the weather is getting colder, so take this opportunity to make more soup to warm your stomach. The most important thing in this lotus courtyard is good food and drink, as well as those good ingredients.
Mai Xiaohuan went to the kitchen and took the radish and mutton, washed and shredded it, poured in the base oil after the fire was lit, added seasonings and boiling water to put the mutton to cook, then put the radish, and finally sprinkled the shredded green onion and coriander leaves when the pot was started.
Two pigeons were stewed in another pot.
"No wonder the second brother is reluctant to let you go, and he really has a good fortune with you." Mai Xiaofang is very satisfied with the current life, or it should be said that as long as Zhou Yue does not deliberately embarrass people, there is really nothing else to lack except for freedom in the lotus courtyard.
As soon as the sisters set up the dishes and chopsticks, there was a knock on the door outside, this little spring belongs to a dog! The nose is also too smart, and the timing is really accurate.
Mai Xiaofang went to open the door with a pigeon leg in her mouth, Mai Xiaohuan served a good meal, sat at the table and waited for the second sister to come back and prepare to start. But I didn't see anyone come back when I waited left and right, didn't I come today but the little Fuzi who loved to find trouble?
What are you afraid of, what you should do has been done, and you have to have a reason to say the past when you come to find fault, right? Mai Xiaohuan stood up and wanted to go side by side with the second sister to deal with the enemy.
"Huh! How did he come! Mai Xiaohuan rubbed his eyes with both hands, could it be that he was dazzled!
What does this girl mean? Don't welcome yourself? In Zhou Yue's eyes, although Mai Xiaohuan is different, she is not special enough to condescend to see her. Everything today was designed by Xiao Quanzi, who pinched the meals of the Mai sisters and took his master for a walk around here. These two girls are also very cooperative, it is mutton and pigeons, such a strong aroma, you don't need to add anything by yourself, the son himself followed the fragrance and found it.
"I don't know how to give up my seat when I see Childe, and also, take away your unpopular food, don't stain Childe's eyes."
This time, without waiting for Mai Xiaohuan to refute, Zhou Yue first taught Xiaofuzi a lesson: "You are good at it!" Any master can do it for Ben Gongzi, right? What I want to do in the future will have to go through your nod, right? ”
Last time, he actually dared to be the main punishment for himself, and Mai Xiaowei was on duty at night, which eye did he see that he wanted to punish the bad girl. And today, I just look at it casually, he's good, and what he says is too demeaning to people. can make such fragrant dishes, even if it is not at the level of a chef, the craftsmanship should not be much worse, he actually said that, no wonder the two girls and Xiaoquanzi can get along, and he doesn't even bother to say a word!
Let yourself clean up the table, right? Okay, after so much effort to make something, I can't bear to give them food! Mai Xiaohuan really went over and picked up the soup cup to take it away.
"It's lamb and turnips! I like this one the most, it's getting colder and colder, and drinking the soup warms my stomach! ”
"Brother Xiaoquanzi, if you want to drink it for a while, can you? I'll put it away first, and after Yue Gongzi leaves, ......"
In the eyes of these two people, there is no master of themselves, Zhou Yue sat in Mai Xiaohuan's position just now, and ordered her to get a soup spoon.
If they dare to ignore their master, they will wait to be repaired! If today's soup is to your liking, it's okay to say, but if it's very unpalatable, no one in Xiaoquanzi or Mai Xiaobai will want to escape punishment.
The mutton is soft and tender, the radish is refreshing, and the temperature of the soup is just right, when Zhou Yue's soup spoon was stretched into the soup cup for the second time, Mai Xiaohuan knew that he would not be punished, and Xiaoquanzi knew that the bet was right.
In fact, it is indeed an exaggeration to say how superb the cooking skills of nine-year-old Mai Xiaohuan are. Her advantage is that she knows a lot, combined with the memories of two lifetimes, she not only maintains the tradition, but also has the spirit of innovation, coupled with her own good cooking skills, it is no wonder that the food she makes is not delicious!
"Are you just going to drink soup?"
Mai Xiaofang saw that her sister just didn't want to entertain the person in front of her, she had the guts, she didn't dare to follow the nonsense. Mai Xiaofang lifted the pot and took out a plate of flower-shaped pastry made by her sister with purple potatoes and flour, she still remembered that her sister said that it was called a rose roll.
"What is this, what color do you dye with, and can anyone eat it? The identity of the master is so valuable, can you afford this responsibility? ”
This is the case again, Mai Xiaohuan moved out of another table, took out a small stool, served the soup, picked up the rose roll and ate it in a big gulp. She had to keep her mouth shut, otherwise she wouldn't be able to help but open her mouth to curse.
She dared to eat, she had no reason to admit defeat as a big man, and Zhou Yue also followed Mai Xiaohuan's example and ate a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of flowers.
Mai Xiaofang and Xiao Quanzi squeezed to the small table, and the three of them whispered while eating deliciously. Now it's Xiaofuzi's turn to be embarrassed, people are really uncomfortable eating the taste they watch, not to mention just in time for the meal, these people are still eating so fragrantly, his stomach is very good at picking the time, "grunt, grunt" called.
"If you don't dislike it, sit down and eat together!" As the saying goes, Hades is aggressive, and little ghosts are difficult, and people like Xiaofuzi who follow his master and have no energy and love to find trouble can not be offended, and it is best not to offend.
Anyway, his olive branch has been handed out, and it is his business whether to accept it or not, Mai Xiaohuan has a small amount of rice, a bowl of soup, and a rose roll are full, she cleaned up her position and put on clean dishes and chopsticks, and turned her head to feed the rabbit.
Zhou Yue, who was full of food and drink, rinsed his mouth, cleaned his hands, and looked at this small yard, there is a square vegetable field in the corner, the green vegetables look quite eye-catching, and there is a cage surrounded by wooden boards not far away, and a few rabbits are having fun in it. There were no flowers or plants in the courtyard, only a few morning glory trees that climbed up the pillars.
As a little girl, there should be at least two maids! The janitor and the rough worker, why are they just the two of them?
"Xiao Huan, are you two living in this courtyard? Then are you afraid of the night? Koizumi asked with concern.
Zhou Yue also set his eyes on Mai Xiaohuan, and he also wanted to know the answer.
Mai Xiaohuan replied with a smile: "The two of us are doing well now, we have a separate yard to live in, and we can still start our own gang, as for the night?" Haven't you heard that village girls are all wild girls? We are neither afraid of wild beasts nor thunder. ”
Sometimes animals are friendlier than people, and in this lotus courtyard, there is nothing more terrible than your master.
"Don't be afraid of wild beasts, just blow it! If you see a bear or a tiger, you dare to say that. After drinking two bowls of soup in a row, Xiaofuzi, who had three rose rolls, hiccuped and didn't forget to sing against Mai Xiaohuan.
Mai Xiaofang can't see her sister being bullied, if Zhou Yue is the one who says this, she can only listen, Xiaofuzi? Just eating your mouth and not wiping it clean to teach people is simply too bullying.
"We haven't seen the tiger you mentioned, and we don't know how powerful it is, but are bears scary by wild boars? Our family eats wild boar several times a year. ”
As soon as it comes to hunting, the boys come to the spirit, Xiaoquanzi heard what Mai Xiaofang said quite like that, and Xiaofuzi you said, I asked about the Mai family going up the mountain to hunt and Shaxi Village, although Zhou Yue didn't say anything, his ears were always listening with his ears up.
Since someone was willing to listen, Mai Xiaofang became energetic, and finally even said about her sister selling rabbits.
They had a good time gathering in the small courtyard for half an afternoon, and the others in the lotus courtyard were not calm, what does Yue Gongzi mean by this? Are the two sisters going to get through it?
