Chapter 31 Chinese medicine foot soaking

Mengxi held the red beads, a few little maids with meals followed behind, and came to the main hall, Xiao Jun's health was much better, Mengxi ordered someone to put the dinner in the hall, and after the maids were set, Mengxi came to the door of the bedroom, took a deep breath, and recited three times silently in his heart:

"Xiao Jun is my boss, I am just an employee in charge of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, I have to rely on him to support myself, get along with the boss, I must be kind"

After meditating, she straightened up and walked into the bedroom calmly, she really had enough of the black and cold face, he was not tired every day, she looked tired, in the past two days, before facing Xiao Jun every day, she had to do a psychological construction, so as not to want to flatten the iceberg face that day.

When he entered the house, he saw that the second master was lying on the bed, Hongyu was sitting on the rusty pier and hammered his legs, Mengxi stepped forward and said softly:

"Second master, the meal is ready, you can get up and eat first"

Xiao Jun didn't look at Mengxi, waved his hand to make Hongyu stop, got up and went to the ground, Mengxi acted like a nobody, and Hongyu waited for him to put on clothes and shoes, a maid had already entered the washing water, Hongyu waited for the second master to wash, stretched out his hand to help the second master to walk towards the hall, Xiao Jun patted Hongyu's hand away and said:

"Ye is much better now, no need to help"

Ruby answered, following behind.

Xiao Jun sat at the table, looking at the food on the table and was stunned, Mengxi saw it, stepped forward to take the porridge served by the maid and gently put it in front of Xiao Jun and said:

"The concubine specially made plum blossom porridge for the second master tonight, this porridge is made of japonica rice and plum blossoms, first boil the japonica rice into porridge, then add white plum blossoms, and boil it again, this plum blossom is flat, can soothe the liver and regulate qi, stimulate appetite, the concubine because the second master ate very little at noon, deliberately made, the second master compensated, the concubine also made a few more pastries tonight with porridge to eat, see the sky to drink porridge, the physique can not keep up, these pastries are very soft, and easy to digest, very suitable for the second master to use now."

After introducing them one by one, Mengxi stopped talking, and only waited carefully on the side, Xiao Jun's appetite was really good tonight, all kinds of pastries were paid, and after eating a meal, his expression eased a lot.

Bedridden for more than two months There are many things backlogged, although the big things have been taken over by the eldest master, but there are also a lot of trivial matters, Xiao Jun just was able to move, so he passed on the personal servant Xiao Xia, and he was anxious to deal with the affairs.

What a workaholic, he can be regarded as a good man in modern times, but unfortunately, there are too many women in the backyard, and sooner or later they will die under the flowers, looking at the back of the second master walking into the study, mengxi thought viciously.

Xiao Jun came back from the study very late, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw a small wooden bucket prepared in the bedroom, most of which was half a bucket of water, exuding a smell of traditional Chinese medicine, his brows were twisted into a pimple, and he looked at Mengxi puzzled and asked:

"What are you doing here?"

"In the past two days, the second master has been a little numb in his limbs and feels sluggish, the concubine specially prepared these traditional Chinese medicine soups, soaked the feet of the second master, and the concubine put safflower, angelica, astragalus, sumu, zelan, shengdi, Sichuan pepper, kudzu, Shenjin grass, fine pungent, sour jujube kernel, skullcap, bitter ginseng, Sichuan military soup soaking feet can dredge the meridians and activate the meridians, calm yin and yang, nourish qi and blood, reconcile the spleen and stomach, nourish the liver and kidneys, nourish the heart and calm the nerves, etc." Mengxi said while helping Xiao Jun remove his coat.

Xiao Jun hesitated, opened his mouth to refuse, and suddenly remembered that Mengxi pressed his feet so comfortably last night, and forcibly swallowed the words he wanted to refuse back into his stomach, and sat on the edge of the bed noncommittally.

Hongyu stepped forward and squatted on the ground to take off the shoes and socks for the second master, pulled up the trouser legs, put the two feet in the water, rolled up the sleeves, and was about to wash the second master.

"I'll come," Mengxi said, having taken off her coat and sitting on the small embroidery pier that had been prepared on one side, as she rolled up the sleeves of her underwear.

Xiao Jun and Hongyu Hongzhu were both shocked, this foot washing is all done by the maid, how can the second grandmother do it herself.

"Second grandma can't help it," Hongyu said anxiously, her face swollen and red, and her hand didn't leave.

"You go and get a pillow for the second master to lean on, it can be more comfortable"

Mengxi commanded while his hand had reached into the water, grabbed Xiao Jun's left foot, and pressed it down for Xiao Jun.

Hongyu looked at the second grandmother in embarrassment, and then looked at the second master, and saw that the second grandmother had stretched out her hand, and the second master didn't say anything, so she stood up, and Hongzhu took out two pillows on one side, and the two of them found a comfortable position for the second master and let the second master lean up.

Xiao Jun has never enjoyed such a high-end Chinese medicine foot massage, leaning there comfortably, watching Mengxi's eyes gradually deepen, he enjoys this kind of warm service very much, and also wants to keep this warmth by his side, but thinking of what she did today and the comments in the market, his heart is not steady, he Xiao Jun wants to dominate the world, how can he put a woman who is rude and willful, and stirs up his backyard for a moment without peace by his side? For a while, I didn't know what to do with her.

"Second master, the concubine cleaned up the east wing room today, and wants to make a small study, so that the concubine can go to read books and write when she is fine"

Mengxi saw Xiao Jun lying there comfortably, and his face was much softer, so he took the opportunity to bring up the matter of the East Wing.

"Well, I know" For a long time, Xiao Jun's voice seemed to come from the clouds.

……

When Mengxi woke up in the morning, Xiao Jun was still asleep, thinking that it was last night's Chinese medicine foot massage that worked, Mengxi quietly got out of bed, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, Hongyu Hongzhu hurriedly stepped forward to enter the house to wait, Mengxi put his hand to his mouth to signal that the second master was still asleep, and came to the outside room to be served by Hongzhu to wash up, let Hongyu wait for the second master to get up outside the door, and then helped Hongzhu to go to the kitchen,

Seeing the newly purchased jade bamboo and bamboo shoots in the kitchen, these are all plants in the south, the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, and it was rare to eat these in the north, and only a family like Xiao Fu could occasionally eat them, these are rare things in Pingyang City, seeing the chef holding it there, I didn't know how to start for a long time, and Mengxi had itchy hands for a while. Then he started directing it.

First, let the chef cut the tofu into large slices, fry them in 70% hot oil until golden brown, and then remove the mushrooms from the water and wash all the two petals, and the fresh mushrooms are also all two petals, and put the mushrooms, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots into a pot of boiling water respectively, blanch them thoroughly, and take them out and set them aside.

Then use a wok to stir-fry the green onion and ginger until fragrant, then add soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, mushrooms, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and stir-fry, then put in the tofu blocks, change to low heat and simmer until the flavor is incorporated, thicken with wet starch, point into monosodium glutamate, pour in sesame oil and push evenly, a delicious, fragrant three fresh tofu is baked.

With the cooperation of the chef, Mengxi made a dish of Yuzhu stew, Shouwu chicken, and shiitake mushroom radish soup with Yuzhu.

After the dish is done, let Hongzhu and the chef pay for it first, not to mention that after the chef compensated Mengxi for the dishes, his eyes were green, just saying that this Hongzhu was paid, not only marveled at the craftsmanship of this second grandmother, but also said that she had never eaten such a delicious dish, and scolded the previous chefs for coming to Xiao Mansion to eat mixed rice, and it was not a dish at all, until Hongzhu saw the murderous eyes of the two chefs on the side, she remembered that she even scolded them, and quickly closed her mouth.

Mengxi saw their expressions, she was in a good mood, and after thinking about it, she made a lot anyway, and let people divide it into two portions, pack one in a food box, and serve it with the plum blossom porridge and a few colors of pastries that have been made, and let people send it to the old lady while it is hot.
