He Xiaoqiao was sure that he was not mistaken, the two people who came in had all been seen in the random garden before, except for the cool brother with a pinch of eye-catching white hair on the bangs, and the bearded man with a pair of beautiful blue eyes had chatted with him for a while in the rich gambling house before!

Jiang Fenghao glanced over, and there was a little surprise in his tone, "Have you seen it?" ”

"Yes." He Xiaoqiao nodded affirmatively, and anyone who saw an acquaintance who was not disgusted should be a little excited, "In the Random Garden, in addition to the two of them, there is also an uncle who looks like a god stick, but it seems that he is not here." ”

"The princess has a good memory, and the military advisor really didn't come." The cool guy with a pinch of white hair in his hair hung his head and replied with a straight look.

The bearded man next to him immediately nodded in agreement, and did not forget to add thoughtfully, "That old boy is on a mission." ”

"Strategist?" What's going on with the mission?

"That's his nickname," Jiang Fenghao took over unhurriedly, and introduced the three of them by the way, "The god stick that the lady said is called Hu Qing, as for the two of them," his gaze swept over the bearded two, and he continued, "The one wearing black clothes is Bai Shou, and the bearded man next to him is Hong Fang." ”

It's really simple and clear, He Xiaoqiao immediately understood, "They are the same identity as the cold guards?" ”

Although the outfits are different, they are similar in temperament, and they all look like people with kung fu foundations.

"Like, but not quite." The corners of Jiang Fenghao's mouth hooked, but he didn't plan to say more, he only picked the key point and told her, "During the next period of husband's absence, the two of them will follow you and send you at your disposal." ”

Hong Fang and Bai Shou don't often appear in the capital, even if they follow He Xiaoqiao to protect her, they won't be released too quickly - what he needs at this time is a fresh face.

"Where's the cold guard?" He Xiaoqiao asked casually, after all, she was quite familiar with Leng Qianshan.

Jiang Fenghao snorted, obviously taking the initiative to mention other men to his daughter-in-law, "He has other things, and he doesn't need him here." ”

"......" Leng Qianshan, who was disgusted, silently guarded in the dark, still expressionless.

"Okay." He Xiaoqiao shrugged his shoulders and compromised.

Although I don't like to be followed at any time, in the era of feudal rule when ordinary people have no human rights, it is not a bad thing to have two bodyguards who can beat and take it.

The matter was settled.

The next morning, because he had already given himself a psychological hint and didn't need to pick lotus to shout, He Xiaoqiao automatically woke up when he was about to arrive.

At that time, it was still very dark, and He Xiaoqiao went to the kitchen to boil water and start cooking after washing.

Although I promised Jiang Fenghao last night that I would not make dry food, I couldn't help but itch my hands when I got to the kitchen, in addition to the Jiang rice noodles that I had wanted to make for a long time, I also fried salty crispy chicken nuggets, and I originally wanted to make some sweet and spicy ones along the way, but then I thought about it, there was no ready-made fish and meat available in the kitchen.

Chop the bone-in chicken breast into small pieces, add salt, sugar, rice wine, shredded green onion and ginger, stir well with homemade five-spice powder and soy sauce, set aside to marinate for about half an hour, and then take out and evenly coat with sweet potato powder.

Add oil to the pot, separate the chicken pieces and fry them one by one until golden brown, remove them and let them cool, and then fry them again.

The washed and drained nine-story tower is also fried slightly in the pot, and then added to the fried chicken pieces with pepper and chili powder and mixed well.

When Cai Lian went to call He Xiaoqiao to get up, she found that she had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, and the smell of food was wafting everywhere in the yard.

The smell was so strong that not only the lotus picking, but even the shadow guards who were squatting nearby to guard couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Miss, why are you ......?"

He Xiaoqiao interrupted Cai Lian without waiting for her to finish, "You came just in time, help me get some oil paper in the room." ”

The finished salted crispy chicken still has some oil, so you can use oil paper to absorb some of it so that it will not be too greasy.

"Yes, miss."

When Cailian brought the oil paper, He Xiaoqiao used chopsticks to pick up a piece of salty crispy chicken and stuffed it into her mouth, "Taste it and see if it's delicious?" ”

"Delicious!" Cailian's eyes lit up, and she nodded violently while chewing on the chicken nuggets, "It's crispy and crispy, it's so delicious!" ”

He Xiaoqiao tried a piece by himself and thought it was okay.

Turning the wick on a bit, he asked Cailian to help spread the oil paper into the bowl, and then put the fried salted crispy chicken, He Xiaoqiao turned to the other side of the table, took out the cornmeal that had been sifted and prepared to make the cake.

Add sugar and yeast to the proportional cornmeal and flour mixture, and mix it with warm water to form a moderately thick batter.

Wait for the batter to ferment for a while, then pour it into a steamer that has been covered with a drawer, sprinkle with washed red dates and raisins, and steam on high heat for about half an hour.

The jujubes were bought from the market, and the raisins were picked and dried and stored in the random garden, and the taste was pure.

When the cake was steamed, the white porridge in the other pot was already gurgling.

As soon as Lu Ziqi, who was lightly dressed, walked to Fengzhu Yayuan, the aroma of food drilled into his nose for a while. Lu Ziqi, who had already washed up and changed into a dress, moved his nose like a dog, feeling that the whole person was about to float, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Jiang Fenghao looked up at the lights in the courtyard and sighed slightly, but there was an irrepressible warmth flowing through his heart.

The two of them were thinking about it, the door in the courtyard happened to open from the inside, Cai Lian walked out from inside, and seemed a little surprised to see the two of them, but they soon laughed, "Lord Wang, Lu Gongzi, you came just in time." The princess had already prepared breakfast, and the slave was about to call the two of them. ”

After saying that, he stepped aside, "Please." ”

"Brother and sister are so virtuous!" Lu Ziqi smashed his mouth, touched his stomach and sighed, and didn't look at Jiang Fenghao, he raised his feet and entered the door.

Jiang Fenghao grew up with his master since he was a child, and what he learned the most was the frank and bold mind of the children of the rivers and lakes, so he did not implement the policy of not allowing male creatures except the male owner to enter the inner courtyard like the Gaomen Courtyard, so naturally he would not care about He Xiaoqiao setting a meal in his yard and inviting Lu Ziqi and others to eat.

When he also walked into the courtyard with his feet, he found that He Xiaoqiao had already set up breakfast in the vacant room, and Lu Ziqi had already eaten it with both hands unceremoniously.

"Give."

Waiting for Jiang Fenghao to sit down at the table, He Xiaoqiao naturally sandwiched a large piece of cut cornmeal cake and put it in front of him. It took more than an hour to make everything without touching the ground, and even on a cold day, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Jiang Fenghao raised his hand and wiped her with his cuffs, and then wrapped the hair stuck to her face back behind her ears for her, with self-blame and pity in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, lady." ”

"It's okay, it's not hard." He Xiaoqiao was not embarrassed by him, and when he saw Lu Ziqi smiling, he was biting the hair cake and looking over here, and hurriedly picked up the white porridge and urged, "Hurry up and eat, it's almost time." ”

The sky outside the window was already a little cloudy, and Jiang Fenghao also knew that he couldn't delay, so he didn't speak again, just squinted and ate his breakfast happily.

The golden hair cake is decorated with bright red dates and raisins, take a bite, sweet and sour, soft and glutinous, with soft white porridge, and finally a piece of refreshing spicy cabbage pickled radish, delicious and not greasy, but also warm the stomach.

Looking at He Xiaoqiao beside him holding a hair cake and puffing out his cheeks like a little hamster, Jiang Fenghao's eyes were full of thick smiles, and he seemed to warm his whole heart.

After breakfast, He Xiaoqiao wrapped the salted crispy chicken with Jiang rice noodles in oiled paper, and there was also a large bag of fried chestnuts, all of which were packed into a package padded with banana leaves and soft cloth to keep warm.

I heard that from here to the Yin Yang Valley, it will take more than a month to ride a horse. Chestnuts and rice sticks can be stored for a long time after they are cooked, and the shelf life is longer due to the cold weather. In this way, even if you occasionally don't go to the village or shop on the road, you can barely use it to fill your stomach and not starve.

Lu Ziqi had never seen these things, they smelled good, and I heard that they could be used as dry food, and it was the only food in the entire Dayan, so his eyes glowed green on the spot, and he took all the things before Jiang Fenghao could speak, "How to say it's the intention of my brother and sister, we can't refuse, junior brother, right?" ”

Jiang Fenghao's reaction was to glare at him.

Lu Ziqi shrugged his shoulders, saw Jiang Fenghao standing in front of He Xiaoqiao, understood that he had something to say, winked at the two of them ambiguously, and happily walked away with something in his arms.

Seeing this, Cai Lian also found an excuse to retreat, and only Jiang Fenghao and He Xiaoqiao were left face to face in the room for a while.

"Lady, I'm leaving."

"Got it." He Xiaoqiao nodded, his expression seemed a little depressed, "...... Be careful along the way. ”

Compared with the first time without saying goodbye, this time Jiang Fenghao was able to say a word to himself before leaving, He Xiaoqiao was even more depressed.

I don't know how difficult it will be to live without a backer, especially if I am in the most intriguing royal family - what if one day suddenly the emperor Lao'er or the queen mother and some other princes and county lords come to the door? She shouldn't have to go out to deal with it, right? How can you say that she is also a man who eats and lives, although she is a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Jiang Fenghao, but she has not yet married! We don't have that position!

Thinking that she was reluctant to leave by herself, Jiang Fenghao stretched out his big palm and touched her head like a comforting puppy, "I will come back soon." ”

He Xiaoqiao looked up at him listlessly, "Why don't you call yourself a husband?" ”

Jiang Fenghao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, stretched out two big hands to hold her face and let her face him, and came to a conclusion with great certainty, "Lady, you are reluctant to be a husband!" ”

He Xiaoqiao's face turned red, as if he had been told through his heart, he slapped his hand away in annoyance, and said angrily, "Who is reluctant to give you up, I still save the effort of cooking when you are not in the house!" ”

Jiang Fenghao didn't immediately expose her duplicity, but just squinted and stared at her contentedly for two minutes, until He Xiaoqiao was almost laughed at by him, and then slowly opened his mouth, and the bull head said to the horse, "Lady, remember to collect money in the gambling house in two days." ”

He Xiaoqiao was dazed for a while, and then asked uncertainly, "You mean the rich gambling house?" ”

"That's right." Jiang Fenghao gave her an affirmative answer, and touched her head appreciatively, "Now that the gambling house is yours, you can take as much silver as you want, and it's up to you to buy or sell it - if you want to be a husband, you can also go there and count the silver and wait for me to come back." ”

Listening to Jiang Fenghao's words, it seemed that he was trying his best to encourage her to go to the loser, and He Xiaoqiao, who was stunned and couldn't speak, instantly had an unreal feeling of being hit by a big pie falling from the sky - no, this is more exaggerated than a pie, that is a whole treasure cave!

Amitabha! She must not have woken up yet!
