Chapter 2: It's hard to get enough to eat
When Xue Jian woke up again, she asked Sanni, who was taking care of her, "I remember that I ate chicken soup yesterday, is there any more chicken?" ”
Sanni's face turned red with anger, and she couldn't help but say: "Xuejian, this whole family is up and down, and there is only an old hen borrowed by my mother with an old face, and you have already eaten half of it yesterday, and even Qi Niang, Ba Lang, Jiu Lang and Shi Niang only drank some soup, you ......"
"Sanni," Zhou Bo's cold voice came from the door, "You don't need to serve here, go down!" ”
Sanni stood up and saluted Zhou Boluo aggrievedly before walking out of the house.
Xue saw that she struggled to sit up, Zhou Bo supported her, frowned, and said, "What are you going to do when you get up?" ”
Raising his hand to soothe his brows, Xue Jiancai whispered, "You murder me again!" Seeing Zhou Bo's brows furrowed even tighter, she quickly put down her hand and muttered in a low voice: "My family is a young master, and I am a slave, and I should obey the law and obey myself, clamp my tail, and be a girl." ”
Zhou Bo listened to her messy thoughts, and couldn't help but raise his hand and said, "Talking nonsense and begging again?" ”
Xue Jian is already familiar with his routine, this little man doesn't look thin but has muscles, this slap is down, the consequences are not difficult to imagine, let's hide first.
She rolled over and got off the ground, rolled her eyes and said, "I want to drink chicken porridge, not chicken soup." ”
Zhou Bo looked at her helplessly, thought about it for a while, but sighed and said, "Okay, let Zhou's mother ......"
Xue Jian shook his head: "I'll do it myself, where can I afford to work Zhou Ma and Du Ma." ”
Seeing Zhou Bo frowning again, Xue Jian hurriedly greeted people with a smile: "I was wrong, young master, the slave maid just thinks that everyone is always working hard during this period of time, so I thought it would be better to make it myself and eat it myself, and others would be more worry-free." ”
couldn't resist her, so Zhou Bo called Du Ma to come in and take Xue Jian to explore the kitchen.
Mother Zhou has heard Sanni say that this Xue Jian is worried about the only half chicken in the family, and she is also very angry, but she has always looked at the house in her hometown, and she is not as close to the young master and young ladies as Mama Du, and she has always been obedient to the distribution and listening to the command, so she sighed, this fox was born with a good skin that everyone envies, and she has shared the bed with the young master for so long, alas, even the young master doesn't say anything, what can she say?
Xue Jian pretended not to see her face, entered the kitchen, and first ordered: "Trouble Zhou, Mama you will take out half of the remaining japonica rice in the jar and wash it!" ”
The corner of his eyes swept to Mama Du, who came over later (it may be more appropriate to say that it might be more appropriate to chase in) with a darker face, Xue Jian immediately commanded unceremoniously: "Mama Du, you are tired to wash that half of the chicken, and then blanch it in boiling water." ”
She herself put water in another pot and said, "Sanni, don't be idle, quickly boil the water over a strong fire." ”
It's not that she deliberately supports everyone, but it's really because Xue Jian has never used this kind of stove cauldron, so she asked others to help.
After the water boiled, she personally put the chicken in the pot, added a lid, and boiled it for more than half an hour over a slight fire, then took it out, and then put it in cold boiled water to soak it down, and then took out the dry water, and smeared sesame oil on the skin to keep the chicken shiny, not shrinking and not aging.
Not to mention Zhou's mother, even Du's mother has never seen such a practice.
Xue Jian poured the japonica rice into the pot, added the original chicken soup, and instructed Zhou's mother to boil it over high heat, and then switch to low heat to cook until the porridge was thick. Then I told Du Ma to slice the chicken and put it on a plate, mix it with green onions, ginger, salt, and sesame oil into a condiment, and pour it directly on it, but unfortunately there is no soy sauce in this era, otherwise the taste will be better, Xue Jian sighed secretly.
Yukimi asked them to send the porridge and chickens to Zhou Bo's house in a while, so they went back first.
Sanni stared at her back, looked at the fresh and delicious food, and couldn't help but say, "This taste, it's really fragrant......"
Zhou's mother and Du's mother were also sighing, and Zhou's mother said: "This smell is naturally incomparably fragrant, but there is really nothing else to eat at home." ”
Du Ma scolded: "It's just such an idea, so that this little fox spirit tosses it and makes me feel sorry to death." ”
Before the words fell, Xue saw that she went and returned, as if she didn't see the embarrassment on their faces, she ordered casually: "Sanni, go and call Qi Niang Ba Lang Jiu Lang Shi Niang over." ”
Outside Zhou Bo's bedroom, Erniang Zhou Xianzheng had a calm face, arguing with Zhou Bo about something, and when she saw her come in, she shook her hand and left the house.
Xue Jian had just done half of the salute, so he simply couldn't do it, so he grabbed Zhou Bo's hand and said, "Da Lang, try Xue Jian's craftsmanship." ”
Zhou Bo frowned and looked at her hand, Xue Jian quickly let go of his hand, and saluted again in a proper manner: "Young Master, please appreciate your face and taste the craftsmanship of the slave Xue Jian!" ”
There was a bustle in the courtyard, accompanied by the aroma of chicken porridge, and it was the surprise and admiration of several children.
"It's so fragrant, it's the smell of chicken." This is Qi Niang's voice.
Hachiro confirmed: "It's more fragrant than the usual chicken, Du Ma Zhou Ma's craftsmanship is good!" ”
Jiulang and Shi Niang also followed the chirping around the incense.
Zhou Bo ignored Yukimi's longing gaze, just waved his hand, and Yukimi walked out of the study with a pout.
In the main room, the four children have spontaneously sat around the table, and the chicken porridge and chicken emit a magical fragrance that makes people who have been hungry for a long time almost have a hallucination.
Zhou's mother, Du Masanni, and Zhou Xian, the second mother who had just come out of the study and met the children, stood to the side, staring at Xue Jian with their own expressions.
Xue Jian pretended not to see it, first served himself a bowl, and then ate a mouthful of porridge beautifully, closed his eyes and savored it, and clearly heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and then sandwiched a small piece of chicken, tasted it carefully in his mouth, and sighed slowly: "The chicken is quite mellow, and the porridge taste is also delicious,"
Erniang's eyes widened, Xue saw that she sighed, and turned around and asked Sanni: "What about the bowl of Qi Niang and Ba Lang, Jiu Lang and Shi Niang?" ”
Seeing that Sanni hurriedly ran back to the kitchen to get the bowl, Xue Jian said to Zhou's mother again: "I didn't finish talking about Sanni just now and ran away, please trouble Zhou's mother to bring the bowl for Dalang again, and Qian'er's." ”
Zhou's mother responded repeatedly, turned around happily and went out.
Xue Jian stood up, walked to Erniang's side and whispered: "I've seen it, there is really nothing to eat at home, but a few young masters and young ladies are too young, and it is the time when they have long bodies and bones, so they can't always be so hungry, even if we are hungry, we can't wronged them!" ”
Only then did Erniang realize that Xue Jian gave herself a bowl just now, but in fact, she was just pretending to be a mouthful, and she didn't hold a mouthful of porridge.
Zhou Xian has always felt that he is strong, even if his family is in a big disaster, he relies on her and her eldest brother to support him, but now he can't help but cry because of Xue Jian's words. And Du Ma next to her was already in tears.
Xue Jian continued: "Mother Zhou, don't be like this, although Xue Jian doesn't remember the past, but since I am a member of this family, I will definitely work together with everyone in the future, and everyone's life will eventually get better in the future!" ”
Erniang saw that Xue saw this little girl who was younger than herself and her body was much more petite, with a solemn look on her face, I don't know why, she actually had a feeling of loosening her shoulders, and faintly felt that she was innocent and opened her eyes? Finally, someone has helped us siblings take on this responsibility.
Zhou's mother and Sanni had already come back with the bowl, and Erniang whispered, "Qian'er, you can also sit together." ”
The four children and Qian'er each had a bowl, and they ate very sweetly.
Xue saw that she went to the study with a bowl.
Erniang looked at the rest, and then instructed Du Ma to send a bowl to Sanlang, Siniang, and Wuniang Liulang, and then asked Sister-in-law Zhou to take it back to the kitchen and add more than half of the water, and the people would clear it up.
Modern people often say that to catch a man, you must first grab his stomach, and it turns out that this sentence goes back to ancient times, and it is also decisive and reasonable. Not to mention others, these youngest, now I can't wait to follow her every day, not only because of the same porridge and salt dishes, after her hands or through her guidance, it is no longer difficult to swallow, and it will also make people eat with relish, but also because she really likes them like an old hen and loves them, and she will tell them good stories and play fun games that have never been heard of.
In addition, Yukimi's mantra is, "Dalang said,......" Zhou Bo has an outstanding status in the family, and no one is willing to confront Zhou Bo in front of her, so Xuejian, who is holding chicken feathers as an arrow, lives a beautiful life above everyone under the fox and fake tiger.
