Chapter Twenty-Six: Sneaking Out of the House
Xu Mingye came to his senses, Lin Shuran's mood also became better, and when he arrived in the back kitchen, he ordered everyone to make steamed buns with her.
"Do more today, everyone has a share!" Anyway, there are only thirty or forty people in the General's Mansion from top to bottom, and there are many people who help with cooking, so I am not afraid of not having enough to eat.
As soon as the housewife ordered, how dare the two cooks in the back kitchen slack off, and hurriedly asked the buyers in the house to buy more meat and vegetables outside, and at the same time began to make noodles according to Lin Shuran's instructions.
Xu Mingsheng has been following behind Lin Shuran like a little tail, seeing that she personally put on an apron and was busy in the kitchen, looking at the noodles in the pot for a while, and preparing the bun filling in person for a while, he didn't care about talking to others.
Xu Mingsheng felt that such a scene was lively and warm, and then he obediently sat on the threshold that was out of the way, holding his chin with both hands, and a pair of eyes that were gradually filled with light followed Lin Shuran's figure closely.
The people of the Jin Dynasty did not eat much food such as steamed buns and dumplings on weekdays, but rice noodles were too expensive in this year, and only on important festivals or New Year's holidays, the family would eat a meal of meat buns or dumplings.
And Xu Junze has always been a person who doesn't pay much attention to eating and drinking, usually what the kitchen does, he and the people in the house eat what, usually the kitchen is managed by Xu An, and he doesn't know what nutritional balance is, he only knows that other mansions eat chicken, duck and fish, and the general's mansion is naturally not less, the cooking skills of the two cooks are good, but sometimes the things made, the young masters in the house don't eat much.
Lin Shuran began to get tired after eating two meals of the General's Mansion, there was more meat and less vegetables, and the cook also liked to put more lard, she was a little unaccustomed to eating, and this kind of diet was not very good for growing children.
Now that Xu Ming is sick, she can't eat some greasy and excessive food, so she went back to her room and wrote a seven-day nutrition menu, so that the two cooks can follow this menu in the future.
Today's steamed bun fillings were all prepared by Lin Shuran herself, and the cook was responsible for bunning and steaming, while she made a few pots of fried buns and raw fried buns with dough and bun filling, and boiled a large pot of fresh fish soup.
When it was time to eat lunch, Xu Junze looked at the bowl of hot fish soup and a plate of steamed buns with a strong fragrance brought by the back kitchen, and was a little stunned for a moment, although he did not have high requirements for eating, it was the first time that lunch was so simple.
"Back to the general, Madame said, there are still a lot of steamed buns and fish soup in the kitchen that are not enough to eat!" The little guy who delivered the meal didn't dare to speak loudly, he cautiously raised his head and secretly glanced at Xu Junze, wondering if he was angry with such a simple meal.
"Got it!" Xu Junze waved his hand to let the little guy retreat, I heard that Lin Shuran had been busy in the back kitchen for most of the day, and the dignified Taifu Qianjin didn't dislike the thick fireworks in the back kitchen, was she by nature or did she deliberately make a show for outsiders?
Use chopsticks to pick up a small steamed bun with a golden bottom and put it in your mouth to take a bite, it is crispy and fragrant, and the meat is juicy, which makes Xu Junze's eyes light up, he has eaten the buns, but it seems to be fried like this It is the first time he has eaten it, and the taste is really good.
Soon, a plate of steamed buns bottomed out, and he seemed to be a little unsatisfied, but he was a person with strong self-control, and he could taste delicious things, and he had always controlled his appetite very well.
However, Xu Minghao and these children are a little uncontrollable in the face of the temptation of food, originally last time they ate a fried bun made by Lin Shuran for them in the Grange, they were hungry, I heard that the kitchen made a lot today, they ate it with an open stomach.
"Brother Seven, didn't you eat two plates of small buns, why did you take so many big buns and put them in a cloth bag?" Xu Mingxuan watched Xu Minghao eat nearly twenty fried buns, and he was burping, but then he sneaked into the kitchen and put those big buns in a cloth bag he carried.
"I haven't seen Xiaohuzi for a long time, and I don't know if his legs are good, now that it's so cold, he definitely won't be able to get food!" Xu Minghao is still worried about his good friend Xiaohuzi who he met in the teahouse, since he was kicked and broke his leg by Fang Da last time, he has been recuperating in a deserted house in the city, although he gave him some money to treat his injuries, but after being pulled to the grange by Lin Shuran, he has never seen Xiaohuzi again, and now he wants to see him.
"Then I'll go with you!" I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, and Xu Mingxuan also wants to go out for a walk.
So, the two of them packed several big buns, carried them in their arms, and slipped out of the house through the small door of the back kitchen.
The two of them found the deserted house where Xiaohuzi was located, but found that they had not come during this time, and other beggars lived in the deserted house, and they didn't seem to be very old, and they were all vigilant when they saw Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan, the two brightly dressed teenagers.
"What are you doing?!" A black-looking young man blocked Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan's brothers outside, with a fierce look on his face, and the posture was very difficult to provoke.
Feeling the hostility of the black young man, Xu Minghao glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Who are you?" What about Little Tiger? ”
"What little tiger, get out, this is Lao Tzu's territory!" The black young man stretched out a hand and was about to push Xu Minghao away, but when he approached him, he smelled the scent of buns on his body, and saw him bulging with a cloth bag, "What is it?" Take it! ”
Seeing that the black strong young man was about to come to rob him in the next second, Xu Minghao dodged and dodged out, and shouted inside: "Little Huzi, Little Huzi, are you here?!" ”
"Come on, surround him!" At this moment, the black young man gave an order, and more than a dozen little beggars in the deserted house surrounded Xu Minghao and the brothers in the middle, probably smelling the fragrance of the buns in their arms, their eyes showed a hungry and fierce gaze, and began to approach them step by step.
Xu Mingxuan swallowed his saliva a little frightened, pulled Xu Minghao's sleeve and whispered: "Seventh brother, I see that Xiaohuzi is not here today, let's go first!" ”
The heroes don't suffer the losses in front of them, although the two of them have learned some kung fu, but they will suffer a big loss if they deal with more than a dozen people who look taller and stronger than them all at once, not to mention that they seem to be extremely hungry and have been staring at the cloth bag where the buns are placed.
"What are you afraid of, you forgot that there are dark guards following us!" Xu Minghao winked at Xu Mingxuan, he was afraid that they would get into trouble after they caused trouble, Xu Junze assigned each of them a secret guard, others may not know about them when they sneaked out of the mansion, but the secret guard must be secretly following to protect them.
"yes, how did I forget!" Xu Mingxuan smiled "hehe" and straightened his chest, now he was not afraid, and even looked up at the little beggar who surrounded them a little provocatively.
The little beggars surrounding the two didn't hear what the two brothers of the Xu family muttered, and they couldn't help but make a move because of the smell of steamed buns, and kept shrinking the encirclement, and at the same time pounced on them under the signal of the black and strong young man's eyes.
