Wow! There's a free meal!! Yu Xiaocao looked down at his little brother, asked for Brother Han's opinion again, and readily agreed. However, the recipe for making small fish is not as open as oyster sauce. She asks to be cleared!

Wednesday Shao didn't have the idea of taking advantage of her, led her into a separate small kitchen, and guarded the door himself to prevent people from peeping. Others don't say it, Chef Wang has long been eager to try, and wants to see if he can learn something in the name of helping.

In fact, the umami of the small white fish itself, even if there is no extra seasoning to enhance the taste, can make people want to stop. When it comes to cooking, there are no difficulties and secrets to speak of. But she just wants to create a sense of mystery of a 'master', and there may be the possibility of cooperation in the future.

Yu Xiaocao took the simplest seasoning, only put salt and green onion and ginger, in order to make the soup taste more refreshing, she specially made a scoop of water, let the small rice balls flutter in it a few times, and used the "bath water" of the Tiantian Stone as the soup base.

The soup is thick and white like milk, and the fish melts in your mouth, making it delicious and smooth...... The teenagers present almost fought so that they could drink more fish soup.

Even the elegant Yuan Yunxi, who grabbed the fish soup and fish, turned into a fierce little monster. There is no way, he was influenced by his gluttonous grandfather and became a veritable glutton.

And the culprit Yu Xiaocao, in the VIP private room of Zhenyulou, led his younger brother to taste the most sumptuous lunch since the crossing - six dishes and one soup for three people, four meat and two vegetables, all of which are good dishes made by Chef Wang himself. The taste is naturally conceivable.

Even if Zhao Han has seen the world, it is difficult to endure it. The Xiaocao sisters and brothers even had a round belly. Xiaoshi held his round belly and snorted, so frightened that Xiaocao hurriedly helped him rub his belly. If you get sick, it's terrible.

[It's okay! Drink some bath water, strengthen the stomach and eliminate food, and avoid all diseases......] When the three of them were eating, Xiao Mending Tianshi was circling around the fragrant dishes, his eyes were glowing golden, and he almost didn't go to the vegetables. It's a pity that you can't eat it.

Hum! When the spiritual power of this god stone recovers some, it will be able to show people in entities, and it will definitely be enjoyable!!

Yu Xiaocao wanted to ignore it, so he quietly flicked his fingers at it, and the little guy was bounced on his head, erecting his teeth and showing his claws.

Xiaocao replaced the herbal tea in the pot with spirit stone water, poured a cup for Zhao Han, fed Xiaoshi some more, and drank a few sips himself.

Looking at the remaining half of the ginseng stewed chicken on the table, Yu Xiaocao of course would not waste it, asked the young man Li Liang for a basin, packed the chicken soup, and said to his younger brother with a smile: "I am worried that I didn't bring any good things to make up for my brother!" ”

After lunch, Yu Xiaocao said a few words to the shopkeeper, asked about the location of the "Zhangji" woodware store, and left with Zhao Han and his younger brother.

On the street, the cries of hawkers, the bargaining of customers, and the loud greetings of acquaintances are intertwined to form a lively market town song.

"Sell sugar, sell sugar! Sweet maltose! The sugar vendor, who was carrying the burden, shouted loudly and walked past the siblings. Xiaoshi turned his head to look at the coarse maltose wrapped in a layer of white flour on the burden, and his eyes seemed to be sucked in, and he couldn't pull it out.

The children of the peasant family do not eat sugar a few times a year. During the Chinese New Year last year, their father hit a deer, sold it for a good price, and made the decision to support a pound of maltose for the children. Grandma Zhang scolded and said that their father would be used to children, but the days were spent on a whole hour. He also took the candy away and hid it, saying that he was entertaining guests when he came.

In the end, the grandfather spoke, and only gave a few to the sister and brother, and one of them cut a candy cube the size of a fingernail, saying that he didn't want to give more. Later, I don't know whose stomach the candy fell into. The sweet, a little sticky, chewy and not greasy taste makes the little stone taste to this day.

Seeing the little brother like this, Xiaocao felt sad. She stopped the sugar vendor, took out two copper plates, and said, "Please cut ten dollars of maltose." ”

The clothes on the siblings were shabby, but clean. The peddler smiled and replied loudly, "Okay! ”

"No, no!" Xiaoshi swallowed his saliva, waved his little hand sensibly, and said, "Second sister, don't waste money, I don't like to eat sugar." ”

Xiaocao touched his head distressedly and said with a smile: "It's because I want to eat candy, isn't it okay?" Didn't we get money today? It's not bad for ten cents! Little shopkeeper, weigh it! ”

This "little shopkeeper" called the little brother who bought candy and was full of joy. He walks the streets and alleys with his burden every day, and his biggest wish is to open a candy shop and be his own boss. When he went down, he turned it slightly sideways, and the sugar he cut naturally increased.

Xiaocao, who bothered to buy sugar, cut the maltose into thumb-sized pieces, took one piece in his hand first, and carefully wrapped the rest in oiled paper. She deliberately shook the maltose in front of the little stone's eyes, and then brought it to her nose, sniffed it gently, and praised it loudly: "It is so fragrant, it must taste very sweet." It's a pity, brother, you don't like to eat these sugars, but I'm alone! ”

Little Stone licked his lips, his eyes moved as his sister held the maltose, and his face showed a pitiful expression like a puppy wanting to eat meat and bones. However, he couldn't bear to ask her for candy.

Xiaocao stopped teasing him, stuffed maltose into his mouth, and took this painful little brother in his arms: "Little stone, sister will buy you candy to eat every day in the future, and there are delicious snacks......"

"No, if you have money, buy cotton to make quilts first, and the quilts covered by my father and mother have all run out. and the sisters' clothes, which are all too short to wear. Little rocks don't eat sugar, and that's okay! ”

The little guy took the maltose in his mouth, reluctant to bite it, and only licked it with his tongue, and the sweet taste melted in his mouth, and the little guy squinted his eyes happily, like a feasting cat.

"Uh-huh! When we go out separately, make a set of clothes for each person in the family, buy a few kang bedding, and make white rice for us every day, and steam white flour steamed ......buns every day," Xiaocao took his brother's little hand and walked towards the woodware store.

Xiao Shi smiled even more: "Eating white rice and white noodles every day is a bit too wasteful, right?" It's better to save it and take it out when you want to use it in the future......"

Zhao Han walked behind the sister and brother, silently listening to the conversation between the two. This is the affection between brothers and sisters, right? His family is his own, and he rarely interacts with his peers in the village. Looking at the friendship between sisters and brothers, an inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart.

There are three vertical and horizontal streets in the town, the carpentry shop where Xiaocao's eldest brother Yu Hang "works", and the Zhenyulou, which are all on the most prosperous street. Talking, talking, the sister and brother saw the signboard of the "Zhangji" woodware store.

In her previous life, Xiaocao dropped out of junior high school without graduating, and after wearing it, she almost became illiterate in front of the complicated traditional characters. Even guessing with Meng, I can recognize a few.

The craftsmanship of the master of the carpentry shop is good, and the shopkeeper often goes to the capital to "learn from the scriptures", and the people in the town and the surrounding conditions like to go to this wooden shop called "Zhangji" to customize furniture and utensils, and the business is naturally good.

The sister and brother entered the shop hand in hand. When Xiao Er heard the movement, he turned around with a smile, and when he saw what the two of them were wearing, it suddenly turned cloudy. He stretched his face and shouted, "Go, go, go!" Poor ghost, this is not the place for you to play, get out of here! ”

Yu Xiaocao frowned, although he was very angry in his heart, he still held back and asked, "Second brother, our eldest brother is an apprentice in the woodsmith shop, called Yu Hang." Trouble the second brother to help pass on the word, just say that his younger brothers and sisters have come to see him, okay? ”

"Yu Hang? Someone only saw him last month, why is there another person in the house? If you can't bear it, just go back, and when you go in and out, what is this place? The man had an impatient expression, and his tone was full of disdain.

Xiaocao held back her anger and said softly: "Little second brother, it's not easy for our sister and brother to come all the way, please make it convenient for the little second brother." ”

The guy threw the rag in his hand heavily on the table, walked to the back door of the shop, and shouted at the back door of the shop, "Yu Hang, Yu Hang!" Someone is looking for! ”

Regardless of whether there was anyone inside answering, he went back to the shop, picked up a rag like a fly, and blasted the two sisters and brothers out: "Go, wait outside!" Don't delay us in doing business...... Lord Fang, please inside! Your custom-made screen has been laid, come in and have a look! ”

A handsome boy in a splendid costume got out of the carriage in front of the carpentry shop with a small servant, and the man saw the flattering smile and greeted the person courteously.

Yu Xiaocao shrugged her shoulders and smiled: People, it's so realistic.

The boy glanced at the siblings lightly, his gaze lingering for two seconds at the self-deprecating smile on her lips. Fang Xun saw the guy's style just now, and thought that he was treated like that, this pair of sisters and brothers who were obviously poor families would be aggrieved, sad, and dodge......

Unexpectedly, my sister smiled indifferently, and her expression was calm. This attitude of neither humility nor arrogance seems to indicate that she will be extraordinary in the future. Fang Xun's footsteps did not stop because of this. thought that each other was just a passing guest in life, but I didn't expect that in the near future, he and her would cross paths again......

"Second sister, stone, why are you here?" Yu Hang limped out of the shop, his face showing heartfelt joy.

"Big brother, what's wrong with your feet? And the face......" Xiao Shi asked distressedly, his eyes widened in confusion.

Yu Xiaocao looked at it, and on Yu Hang's delicate face, two red and swollen marks were clearly visible, and the posture that had just come out seemed to be enduring pain.

Yu Hang touched the scars on his face, pretending to be okay and said: "It's nothing, when I was working, I didn't pay attention to the fact that I tripped over the wood, and my foot was broken, and my face was scraped by the branches on the wood that were not cleaned." A little injury, don't make such a fuss. Second sister, how are you doing lately? Is everything okay at home? Can you eat enough? ”
