Chapter 17: The Golden Tortoise
Since He Xiaoqiao showed her hand in the kitchen, and after Mu Zinan's vigorous publicity, everyone in the garden has become more curious about her.
Hearing that this morning their future young lady entered the kitchen again, and threatened to make everyone the only innovative breakfast in the world, everyone was even more interested, and they didn't even do anything, and they all gathered outside the kitchen to peek around.
"Cai Lian, don't look at the marinade first, help me bring the rice skin made yesterday."
In the clean and tidy spacious kitchen, He Xiaoqiao stood in front of the stove, neatly rolled up his two sleeves, and saw Cailian stepping on a stool to get the dried rice skin under the eaves, so he went over to help him.
After taking the rice paste, just as the water in the pot began to boil, He Xiaoqiao estimated, grabbed several handfuls of the micro-rolled rice chips cut into triangles, and then quickly took a spoonful of glutinous rice flour slurry, and added the batter while stirring in the rice flakes with a spoon, until the soup in the pot became as viscous as rice cereal, and the rice peels were all shrunk into small rolls.
The thick aroma of rice began to fill the entire kitchen, and the smell of salty brine bubbling out on the other stove wafted outward, hooking everyone outside the door and waiting for the stomach worms to start unveiling all kinds of commotion.
Even the few people with facial paralysis who don't smile on weekdays couldn't help but look at the kitchen frequently, looking much more absent-minded than before.
"Young lady, what the hell is this? It smells so good. Cai Lian snorted, and watched with red eyes as He Xiaoqiao neatly scooped the sticky rice soup in the pot into the big sea bowl she had set up earlier, and wished she could get a bowl to taste it immediately.
"It's called kueh juice, it's a well-known folk snack in our area, and I liked to eat it when I was a child."
He Xiaoqiao said, took out the special long chopsticks and stewed for two days, the whole large intestine that had been boiled crispy and flavorful was fished out of the hot marinade jar together with the braised meat and braised bean curd, and the braised pork and braised bean curd were sliced neatly, and the large intestine was cut into small pieces, plus the braised eggs that had been cut in half and had completely turned into sauce, and put them together in the rice soup that had been bowled, and finally poured with a light brown fragrant marinade, sprinkled with garlic grains fried in oil and preserved cabbage grains (diced dried salted radish) and coriander, a bowl is not light or greasy, The refreshing and springy kueh juice is baked!
She didn't have the conditions to let her play when she lived in Rainbow Village before, but now there are all kinds of ready-made tools and food for her to use in the garden, and He Xiaoqiao, who misses his hometown snacks so much, begins to be out of control.
"The slave knows that some people who can't afford to eat meat will buy the large intestine and eat it when they go back, and I heard them say that there is a big smell, and it is very unpalatable," Cai Lian was busy helping He Xiaoqiao bring several large bowls of kueh juice to the tray, not forgetting to look at the steaming braised intestine on the cutting board, and said while swallowing saliva, "But why is this thing boiled out by the young lady so fragrant......" She wanted to hide it all and eat it slowly.
"Haha, the large intestine does have a strong smell, but as long as it is handled properly, it will be fine."
No chef can be stingy when he sees others drooling over the food he makes, and He Xiaoqiao naturally won't either.
Clamped two pieces of the cut braised large intestine and stuffed it into Cailian's mouth as a reward, seeing that she instantly wanted to jump up happily, He Xiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's take the things out first." Everyone is waiting. When you come back, I'll leave you with the most meat. ”
"Thank you, young lady!" Cai Lian immediately smiled when she heard this, and hurriedly beckoned another maid to go with her, and picked up the tray and sent the food.
He Xiaoqiao commanded behind her, "Remember to explain to them what is in it first." ”
She didn't want someone to spit it out on the spot without eating the pig's intestine, which was definitely not something to be happy about.
"Don't worry, young lady." Cai Lian was holding a tray with several sea bowls in her hand, and she was a little bumpy when she walked, and she actually had time to smile back at He Xiaoqiao, "Everyone will definitely like such a delicious thing." ”
He Xiaoqiao grinned and waved at her.
By the time he finished cooking all the other people's portions, He Xiaoqiao was already sweating profusely. My stomach was already grumbling with hunger, and I didn't bother to go back to the room to change my clothes, so I sat down at the kitchen door with a bowl of kueh juice, and enjoyed the food I made by myself while blowing the cool breeze.
It's just eating and eating, and I always feel like something is missing.
He Xiaoqiao held the bowl and thought about it for a long time, and then remembered that it was Jiang Fenghao who was missing - she was used to running over to the fragrance as soon as she made something delicious, but now that he was not there, no one was clamoring to eat this and that, she was not used to it...... It's incredible.
Shaking his head and shaking off all the loss in his heart, He Xiaoqiao returned to the kitchen, made the fire in the stove smaller, and continued to enjoy his breakfast beautifully.
………………
As Cailian said, the characteristics of He Xiaoqiao's kueh juice have once again won praise from everyone, and even Aunt Mu San, who had been acting as a cook, was impressed by He Xiaoqiao, and said that He Xiaoqiao could use the kitchen whenever she wanted to-provided that someone must help next to her, lest she be injured if she was busy and accidentally made all kinds of mistakes - this was a special order from Jiang Fenghao before leaving, and Aunt Mu Sanjie firmly remembered it.
With permission, He Xiaoqiao was naturally grateful. Although the garden is not large, the kitchen is spacious and tidy, and the ingredients in it are fixed and updated every day, which she likes very much.
With good cooking skills, she lived like a fish in water in the casual garden. Although the identity is a little embarrassing, this does not prevent He Xiaoqiao from being happy and grateful - he has a house to live and eat, he doesn't have to worry about losing his job without going to work, he sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, and when he is bored, he goes out to go shopping and see the scenery, even if he doesn't get a salary, such a rice worm life is enough to make people yearn for.
Just when He Xiaoqiao's little life was happy and satisfying, Jiang Fenghao, who had been missing for nearly half a month, finally returned.
It was a sunny morning, Cailian asked Aunt Mu San to call to help, Mu Zinan also ordered Uncle Xing to go out to buy in order to avoid suspicion, He Xiaoqiao was bored alone, so he had to go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers and take a walk, and he had the right to eat.
At that time, when the peony flowers were at their most brilliant, He Xiaoqiao deliberately got a few back to the room to put them in the mood, but when she just picked off the largest and most beautiful peony, she looked up and saw a long figure that looked a little familiar among the flowers not far away.
The moon-white robe with excellent drape, the neckline is a very eye-catching red gold, embroidered with flowing cloud pattern piping, a wide belt of the same color Tengyun auspicious pattern is tied around the waist, and a piece of white and warm jade pendant is hung on it, and the long ink-colored hair is loosely pulled up with only a green hairpin, and a jade bone fan with high quality is held in his hand.
The two sword eyebrows flew obliquely into the temples, the phoenix eyes that seemed to be seductive were slightly squinted, the nose was high and straight, and even the lips were perfectly diamond-shaped, still envious and hateful, and the light pink color was as attractive as a peach blossom.
He Xiaoqiao looked him up and down, and then silently made a summary in his heart - what a luxury!
This noble and high-grade dress at first glance is definitely not something that ordinary people can control, and what can be controlled are high-end goods worth several zeros - that is, the legend says that every woman is eager to catch a golden turtle to play.
I just don't know what this turtle is about, and what do you want to do when you come to the park?
He Xiaoqiao didn't speak, and the man who suddenly appeared didn't speak, and the two looked at each other silently.
After a long time, just when He Xiaoqiao seriously suspected that the goods opposite were actually a psychopath and regretfully considered whether to shout loudly for Uncle Xing and Aunt Mu San to take a broom to drive people away, the fashionably dressed Pianpian young man suddenly smiled toothily, two deep dimples were sunken on his cheeks, and his deep and good-looking eyes stared at her, and then he called out affectionately, "Lady!" ”
He Xiaoqiao was messy in the wind in an instant.
The voice...... The voice...... Why is he so much like Jiang Fenghao? It must have been that she hadn't woken up yet, it must have been.
Just when He Xiaoqiao was in a daze, the strange 'high-end goods' whose voice was very similar to Jiang Fenghao had already come to her quickly, looking down at her head condescendingly with an absolute height advantage, and then repeated again with great joy, "Lady, I'm back." ”
Smelling the faint incense from the other party's body, He Xiaoqiao swallowed his saliva, and only replied with difficulty after a long time, "This son, you recognize the wrong person......
No way! Jiang Fenghao has a big pie face, and he has a wide variety of acne like the Eight-Nation Alliance, how could he become so handsome and chic in such a short period of time?
The pig's head instantly becomes a super beautiful man, which is fucking unscientific!
He Xiaoqiao said he refused to acknowledge the possibility of the incident - unless someone from the stick country next door also crossed over, and at the same time spread his great plastic surgery technique here with unmistakable precision.
"How could my own lady admit her mistake...... Here, I'll show you. A certain handsome boy said, very sassy in front of He Xiaoqiao, and then reached out to stroke the long black hair that hung down to his shoulders, with a smile in his eyes, as if he was really sending her an autumn wave, "How is it?" Isn't it pleasantly surprised to see what a husband really is? ”
He Xiaoqiao petrified for a long time, then raised his head stiffly, and looked directly at his graceful chin, "Immortal? ”
Jiang Fenghao, who had recovered his original appearance, looked down at her in confusion, "What are you talking about, lady?" ”
Could it be that someone bullied her during his absence and brainwashed her again?
He Xiaoqiao didn't answer him, and asked again according to the established procedure, "Monsters?" ”
The corners of Jiang Fenghao's mouth twitched, and he directly put his hand on her forehead, and asked worriedly, "Lady, are you okay?" It doesn't seem to have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? ”
“…… Thank you. ”
He Xiaoqiao pushed his hand away expressionlessly, turned around and walked forward mechanically.
…… Yes? yes yes?!
Seeing He Xiaoqiao disappear into the Moon Cave Gate like a gust of wind, Jiang Fenghao's jaw almost dropped.
Although he had long expected that He Xiaoqiao would react greatly when he saw his true face, this reaction was not expected by him - what about the blushing and heartbeat deer that said yes? What about screams and warm hugs?
This script is not quite right!
And it's just the beginning, he has more important things to say, what kind of trouble is the heroine going to make if she leaves now?
Picking up the abandoned peony flower from the ground, Jiang Fenghao lowered his head and thought about it, and then followed in the direction where He Xiaoqiao left.
"Lady! Lady wait for me! Lady, listen to my explanation......"
