Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Law of True Fragrance Warning
Although Xiao He got a pair of hygienic eyes from Zhao Jing, he didn't care about it, and came to the oven with a smile, and called it an oven for the time being, or it was more appropriate to call it an earthen kiln.
Rough mud buildings with round arches were piled up in the snow nearly a foot high, with a chimney at the top of the round arch and a large opening in the middle and behind the sides, and at this time a fire had been lit, and a burst of warmth hit.
Xiao He looked at the crude clay kiln in front of him, the strong contrast between white and black almost flashed into his eyes, and his face changed for a while.
"It's strange, is Ben Gongzi's painting so bad...... It must be a problem with Lao Wang's craftsmanship, forget it, it will be used. ”
"Childe, look, okay, if it doesn't work, I can change it." Lao Wang bowed, blushed his face, and reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the cake embryo.
Xiao He patted the wall of the 'oven', thick, warm, and praised against his will, "Yes, yes, the craftsmanship is very good, I used to work as a potter?" ”
"Hehe, Childe, I'm okay with this little bit of craftsmanship, but it's just ......" Lao Wang patted his chest and grinned again.
"Alas, I know, I'll leave some for the three of us later, and you can divide the rest," Xiao He shook his head helplessly.
"No problem, then follow what Ben Gongzi said before, put one in and try it first."
"Childe is magnificent, don't you dare to ask for so many ......"
"Yes, Childe has just taught the younger ones, let's go back and practice......" The other guards thanked each other.
"Okay, Childe, you just look at the little one." Lao Wang rolled up his sleeves and started working.
Xiao He ignored Zhao Jing's disgust on his face, and began to command several big men to continue to make noodles, kneading dough, baking dough, checking the heat, and being very busy.
After a long time, an abrupt burst of fragrance spread, and the whole courtyard was shrouded in a charming fragrance, which was particularly tempting, fragrant and thick, like a sleeping beauty sleeping in the spring of Begonia, opening her sleepy eyes, slowly showing her beauty, lazy and tempting.
"Suck ~ Suck ~ "
The guards who were kneading the dough and beating the eggs stopped what they were doing, sucking their saliva and looking at the oven.
Cheng Wan was also fascinated by the aroma, and did not continue to explain to Zhao Jing, leaving her behind, and ran directly to the simple oven to keep wandering, her cute little nose kept moving, and her face was intoxicated.
"Childe, the cake seems to be almost baked, and it is ...... browned and browned."
Regardless of the overflowing heat of the oven, Lao Wang shoveled out the cake with a wooden shovel and sent it to Xiao He.
Everyone stopped their work directly, surrounded them, and looked at Xiao He with blank eyes.
"This is the baked cake, and it's even more tempting than that day...... It's so fragrant......"
Cheng Wan squeezed the big man and got in front of the cake, and her saliva was dripping onto it.
Zhao Jing was also curious, but she restrained herself reservedly, just stretched her neck to look in, her head was heavy, and she couldn't see the truth.
Seeing Xiao He's smug eyes sweeping over, Zhao Jing snorted and turned her head away, making him bored again.
"Hmph, you know hum, you are not afraid of becoming a piglet......"
The freshly baked cake is orange in color, sliding down from the wooden spatula and shaking back and forth twice, full of elasticity and steaming with a strong egg aroma.
"The color is just right, the shape is intact, and there is no collapse," Xiao He nodded with satisfaction, and then touched the surface of the cake with his hand.
"Well, yes, it's not wet and sticky, it seems that the heat is just right, Lao Wang, the time is just right."
"It's all up to the son's guidance," Lao Wang scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Xiao He picked up a sharp knife and quickly divided the cake into two, the cake was fluffy and elastic, 'I didn't expect that my own rough way of baking a cake would be successful, my son is really a genius.' ’
The cake that was cut in half had a stronger aroma, and it also constantly teased Cheng Wan's sense of smell, making her itchy and unbearably hungry, and she was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks.
Seeing Xiao He stop, looking smug but not speaking, Cheng Wan couldn't wait to ask, "How, how, did you succeed?" ”
"Are you ready to eat......
A pair of watery eyes looked at Xiao He with hope and longing, as if he was about to pounce on Xiao He just when he nodded.
'This foodie, it's too cheap! ’
Zhao Jing on the side couldn't look at it, stepped forward to grab Cheng Wan, and pulled her outstretched little hand, the dignified little lady of the official family behaved like this, it was really embarrassing, too rude, it would only make that bastard look down on it even more.
"Pain...... ...... to death."
"Jingjing, what are you doing?"
Cheng Wan looked at Zhao Jing at a loss.
Who am I......
What's wrong with me......
What am I doing wrong......
Zhao Jing glared at her with hatred.
"Of course you can, and I don't see who did it......"
Xiao He raised his stinky head and fanned his fan, very proud.
"Lao Wang, it's okay, just bake it at this time, and leave a few bread for my son at that time, and divide the rest of your brothers."
"Gongzi Xie, the burst of aroma just now forced the brothers to almost swallow their tongues and saliva together......"
Lao Wang smiled and retired, and told the busy people the good news, causing everyone to cheer and thank Xiao He again and again.
Xiao He responded to everyone again and again, shrugging at Zhao Jing with a wry smile, to see if his brother was very kind-hearted and benefited the poor people, but he once again gained Zhao Jing's two big hygienic eyes.
"Alas, there are such shallow people in the world, and they can't understand the kindness of this son at all, and they can't understand the good intentions of this son."
Cheng Wan's eyes couldn't move the cake at all, her whole mind was on the cake, she didn't feel the subtlety between Xiao He and Zhao Jing at all, and she didn't understand Xiao He's injured heart when she was hit.
She watched the guards take away the cakes one by one, and couldn't help but feel a heartache, "Don't take them all, leave some for me, don't ......"
"I was so hungry last time, I couldn't taste it at all, I didn't taste it, so let it go......"
"Xiaowan!"
Zhao Jing pulled Cheng Wan back angrily, her appearance was completely begging for food from that bastard, wasn't this giving in to him.
Yes, she has indeed acquiesced in the cooperation between them in her heart, but it does not mean that she has to bow down to him, and the pride in her heart is not allowed.
"First, cut the cake into triangular pieces, and then add some honey, osmanthus syrup and the like, and slowly dig it with a spoon to eat......"
Xiao He no longer continued to pretend to be deep, ignoring Zhao Jing's vigilant defense against him, and as he spoke, he quickly divided the cake into several pieces, poured a spoonful of honey on it, pushed it in front of the two women, and motioned for the two women to enjoy it.
Cheng Wan carefully took the cake handed over by Xiao He, glanced at Zhao Jing worriedly, and saw that she didn't stop it, so she picked up the spoon and began to taste it.
Cheng Wan took a bite and was completely lost in the delicious world composed of fluffy cakes and sweet honey.
"Wow, really, the cake is so elastic, so fluffy, the fragrance of the cake is getting more and more fragrant as the concoction slowly deepens, and there is ...... Also, the sweetness of honey penetrates the heart......"
"Wow...... It's so delicious......"
Cheng Wan looked intoxicated, tasting the beauty of the cake, and did not forget to suggest that Zhao Jing pick it up and eat it quickly.
"It's really delicious, Jingjing, try it......"
Zhao Jing saw Cheng Wan's intoxicated appearance, and with her tricky mouth, she actually ......
She was also a little moved, and the fragrance that had precipitated that day in her mind was churning again, arousing the cravings in her stomach, and she couldn't help but look at it, and she couldn't take her eyes off.
Crystal clear honey slowly flowed from the fluffy cake, sweet and tempting, full of appetite, eating away at her will.
'I'm not...... Gluttony, I ...... Yes, yes, try the law, expose this bastard, let Xiao Wan see his true colors, yes, that's it......
She kept "hypnotizing" herself, glaring at Xiao He fiercely, but her hand involuntarily picked up the cake, dug it with a small spoon and put it in her mouth.
"Ah~, it's so fragrant......"
Although Zhao Jing was constantly tempted by the aroma of the cake, and wanted to stuff it all into her mouth, she still restrained herself, tasting slowly spoonful by spoonful, each action seemed to be strictly trained, well-behaved, not in a hurry, and full of beauty.
Her squinted eyes, intoxicated look, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, you can see her love for cakes.
Xiao He bit the bread that had just been delivered, listened to Cheng Wan's professional tasting like a food connoisseur, and admired Zhao Jing's dignified and noble demeanor.
It's funny...... The little lady is not like the little lady, the maid is not like the maid, it is really interesting, interesting..."
"Commander Wang, it's not good, it's not good......
The fox guard rushed eagerly, thinking about how to further strengthen the manor's guardian power, and Wang Shen shouted.
"Huh? What's wrong......" Wang Shen also became nervous, "Could it be that something happened in the outer village......
"How can this be good, the inheritance of the saint is imminent, the altar master has repeatedly ordered, and now there is a mistake, how should I be ......good?"
"No, that's not the case...... Fox Guard hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself.
"What the hell is that?"
The fox guard hesitated, looked at Wang Shen, and stopped talking.
