"Hahaha, I'm waiting for you!" Zhao Bufan smiled even more heartily.

Zhao Boniang glared at him and said with a smile: "You don't treat yourself as an outsider." Do you know how much silver is in a jar of 'Jian Nanchun' and 'Gujing Gong'? Hundreds of taels at every turn, you are an uncle, are you embarrassed to take advantage of Xiaocao? ”

"Uncle Zhao, if you say this, you will be outside! As a junior, I honor my uncle a few jars of wine, what is there to take advantage of? Could it be that what you just said about not treating me as an outsider is all polite words? Yu Xiaocao shook Zhao Boniang's hand lovingly, and she didn't even call.

"The little grass girl is right, we are not outsiders!" Zhao Bufan smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Xiaocao and Zhao Boniang were doing homework, General Zhao was sipping tea with a smile on the side, and Zhao Bufan chatted with his senior brother from time to time.

chatted and chatted, and talked about Zhao Han. Xiaocao asked with concern: "Uncle Zhao, this year's Chinese New Year, is Brother Han still stationed in the guard?" For so many years, he hasn't come back for the Spring Festival once. Do you want to fight so hard? ”

"Not really! When he was asked to follow his grandfather and father to the northwest, this kid was as stubborn as a donkey, and he had to rely on his own ability to accumulate military merits step by step. Last year, I tricked him back under the pretext that he was not feeling well, and after only two days at home, he went back again! It was as if the whole guard had left him and had stopped turning! Speaking of her only son, Uncle Zhao complained all over her stomach. I feel more distressed in my heart: the last time my son came back, he lost weight and became dark......

When Uncle Zhao heard this, he said disapprovingly: "Man! It is within the scope of duty to make meritorious contributions and defend the country. The seaside has not been very peaceful in recent years, and Han'er is also maintaining the stability of the party, so don't drag your feet behind! ”

Zhao Bufan is quite satisfied with his son's performance. It's only in his early twenties, and he's a thousand total of six grades. As a general, if you don't fight, where do you get your military merits and achievements? There will be no major battles in the northwest in the past ten years, and it is not bad at the seaside, at least the pirates and pirates have not dared to attack as blatantly as before in these years.

Uncle Zhao glared at him vaguely, sighed and said: "People often say, start a family first and then start a business, Xiaocao girl is four or five years younger than him, and she will get married after the New Year." Yu Hang is two years younger than him, and he is about to become a father. He's good, he's in his twenties, and he's alone. Like him, who is away from home all year round, when can he bring me a daughter-in-law back! ”

Zhao Bufan picked up the cup, took a sip of tea and said, "Han'er is only twenty-two or three years old, what are you anxious about?" His Royal Highness King Xu is still two years older than Han'er, isn't he not married at this time? ”

Zhu Junyang, who was helping to entertain the guests on the side, said that he was also shot while lying down. Hum! Ye Cai is not as stupid as your stupid son, obviously grew up with a little girl's childhood sweetheart, but he can't even understand his own thoughts, and he is cheap for nothing...... Ahem, well, I have to thank him for his emotional sluggishness, otherwise how could he marry such a good little daughter-in-law?

Uncle Zhao can be worried to death by her own man: "His Royal Highness King Xu, but he has already set his goal and patiently waited for the grass to grow up." No, as soon as the spring began last year, I made a family relationship with Xiaocao. If Han'er had also decided on a family affair, I wouldn't have been so worried! ”

Zhao Boniang glanced at the delicate and sweet Yu Xiaocao on the side, and a trace of melancholy flashed in her heart. Obviously, he knew Xiaocao's family first, why didn't he set a baby kiss for the two children in the first place, otherwise there would be no matter about King Xu! Where to find a daughter-in-law like Xiaocao who has a good temperament and is capable, and who is in love with her?

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry. This marriage is all arranged by God, and when fate arrives, it will naturally come to fruition. Brother Han is so good, and his family background is good, if you let it go, the ladies in Beijing will not break their heads! Yu Xiaocao said witty words, comforting the anxious Uncle Zhao.

"I hope it is as you say! God bless your brother Han's family affairs to be settled early, and this matter of my heart is over! Uncle Zhao folded her hands and bowed to the sky.

After chatting with him for a while, Xiaocao got up and said, "Godfather, you help greet Grandpa Zhao and them, and I'll go to the kitchen to get a few dishes." Grandpa Zhao, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, you sit down first, and try my craftsmanship later. Zhu Junyang was assigned by his daughter-in-law to accompany Mr. Su to talk. Zhu Junyang said: I don't want to go!

Uncle Zhao also got up and said, "Uncle Niang still doesn't know your girl's cooking skills?" When I was in Dongshan Village, I couldn't make delicious dishes with all the ingredients. At that time, you were a little bit tall with a pot table. This kind of kung fu will grow into a big girl. Let's go, Uncle Niang will help you go. When we were in Xishan Mansion before, we and I worked together more than once. I really miss the days at that time, although it was harder, but after all, the family was together, and it was lively and lively......"

"Okay, what are you talking about? I think you're idle, so you think and think wildly! Zhao Bufan interrupted her. In fact, he also knows that it is not easy for his wife to be alone in Beijing all these years, thinking about his father-in-law and men who are far away on the frontier. However, when the eldest husband should protect the family and defend the country and make contributions, how can he only take care of the small family?

Xiaocao hurriedly and thoughtfully diverted the topic and said, "Uncle Zhao, your house in Dongshan Village will be repaired every year, and the furniture and supplies in it are all complete!" When Brother Han was resting, he went to stay for two days from time to time! The folks of Dongshan Village often talk about you. If you are free, go back and stay for a few days, see Brother Han, and talk to my mother. ”

Zhao Boniang felt that this proposal was feasible, and said with a smile: "Then we have to wait for you and King Xu to get married." Didn't you say that your father and mother would be able to come over the day after tomorrow? When the time comes, it'll be enough for your mother's work. ”

When it comes to her own family affairs, Xiaocao didn't mean to be shy at all, and said cheekily: "When the time comes, Uncle Zhao will have to come over often to help out, otherwise my mother won't be able to do it alone." ”

"Good, good, good! When the time comes, the aunt will come over every day to help you, the unashamed little girl, prepare the dowry! Zhao Boniang nodded Xiaocao's head a few times, why is this little girl so rare?

In the kitchen, all the ingredients have been prepared, and the people have washed the ingredients cleanly, cut them into cubes or shreds according to the requirements of the grass, and just wait for the "chef" to be in place. On the stove next to me, the stewed "Buddha jumping over the wall" is bubbling hot, and the enticing fragrance wafts in the thick gas.

"This is the signature dish of the medicinal food workshop - Buddha jumping over the wall, it really lives up to its name, just smelling this fragrance can intoxicate people!" Zhao Boniang looked at the orderly ingredients in the kitchen, some of which she had never seen before, and knew that she couldn't help much.

Yu Xiaocao cheekily plagiarized the achievements of future generations, and said with a smile: "Isn't our Dongsan Village seafood very famous?" In my spare time, I wonder if I can make a good dish with a lot of top-quality seafood and some ingredients! 'Buddha jumping over the wall' is the result of slow experimentation. There are as many as 18 kinds of ingredients in it, including sea cucumbers, shark fins, abalone, fish lips, fish maw and other precious ingredients. Moreover, I found that this dish has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, clearing the lungs and moistening the intestines, and preventing and treating sweating. Not only is it delicious, but it also nourishes the body! So even if it's a little more expensive, there are still many people who are willing to try it. ”

"What you said is too modest, who doesn't know that the 'Buddha jumping over the wall' in Yuji Medicinal Diet Workshop is scheduled to be scheduled for three months!" Although Zhao Boniang rarely goes out, there are few things in Beijing that can be hidden from her.

"This can only show that our people in the capital are not bad for money! If the emperor leads well, the people of the Ming Dynasty can become richer and richer! Yu Xiaocao snorted, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

"This looks like minced meat, right? Could it be that we make dumplings and eat them at noon? Zhao Boniang couldn't help but ask when she saw her add water chestnuts and egg whites to the minced meat.

While kneading the meat filling into a round meatball, Xiaocao explained: "I am going to make four happiness balls, which means that life is full of happiness, luck, longevity, and happiness, and it is auspicious. ”

Soon, four large meatballs were formed in her hands, and then she had a lot of oil in the pot to heat up, put the meatballs in them, and fry them until golden brown and removed. Then, start another pot, pour in an appropriate amount of hot water, put soy sauce, star anise, green onion and ginger and other seasonings, put four large balls in it, cook over low heat, and finally reduce the juice over high heat. The four happiness balls made are golden in color and overflowing with fragrance, which shows that Xiaocao's cooking skills are profound.

Then, she made famous dishes from all over the world, such as "Pot Collapsed Tenderloin", "West Lake Vinegar Fish", "Hand Finger Mutton", "Steamed Pork", "Nine Turns of Large Intestine" and so on...... Everything is ready, serve the cold dishes first. There are six cold dishes: "Beijing Roast Duck", "Flavor Roast Chicken", "Pickled Pepper and Phoenix Feet", "Preserved Egg Tofu", "Red Oil Ear Silk" and "Cold Fungus".

When the dishes with all colors and flavors are presented to everyone one by one. Zhao Bufan couldn't help but praise sincerely: "The skill of the little grass girl, you can go to Zhenyulou to be a cook!" ”

Zhu Junyang unhappily answered: "Many of the cooks in Zhenyulou are trained by our girls!" Zhenyulou, if there is no girl in our family, maybe it will not be able to stand in Tanggudu! "The meaning is obvious: comparing our girl with the chef of Zhen Yulou is too much to reduce the style of our family.

He took a bite of "our girl", which made the house town very unhappy, glared at him fiercely, and snorted coldly: "Our Cao'er, it's not your family yet, you should pay attention to what you say, so as not to ruin the reputation of our Cao'er!" "Yes, father-in-law and son-in-law, this is a.

The old man is big, how dare Zhu Junyang go against the house town in order to marry the little girl smoothly? I couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in my heart - there is still half a year to go, and the little girl is the grandfather's family! We have already been engaged, and we say "our family", why is it wrong?
