246. Never get used to it
There were eight pieces of pastry on the small white plate, which were placed very beautifully, Shen Xingqi picked up one and thought it was delicious, but the only man tasted it once and then stopped touching it.
Seeing this, Cheng Xi remembered that she had never made such a sweet for the two of them, and she hadn't found it before.
However, men like sweetness, which is extremely rare even in modern times.
Four signature dishes were quickly served, just ...... Shen Xingqi felt tasteless after eating every dish.
"It's still delicious made by my sister-in-law."
Cheng Xi commented sincerely, "Your skills are also better than those of the restaurant chef." ”
The whole table is steamed and cooked, and there are not many seasonings for stir-frying, so the taste is naturally not too good, but the texture of the ingredients itself is also highlighted, and the taste is very unique.
Several people have no habit of wasting, but fortunately, the dishes in the restaurant are exquisite, and the four dishes are originally small, which is not a matter for a few big stomachs.
Shen Xingluo didn't frown the whole time, and Cheng Xi, who watched it, repeatedly sighed at his superb expression management, you must know that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is not ordinary to go from luxury to thrift.
Look, the little girl next to me has been heading towards the pastry.
"So that Zhao An has been looking at you unpleasantly?"
Cheng Xi dragged his chin to observe Shen Xingluo, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this kind of thing was very reasonable, he already had a face of hatred, not to mention that his intelligence was also top-notch?
"It's a mediocrity not to be envied, my husband has worked hard all these years."
"Madame must have had a hard time in those years."
Shen Xingluo glanced at her, he still remembered how many awards and trophies there were in the villa space, let's do it.
"That Zhao family ......"
"It's just a clown, Madame doesn't have to pay attention to it."
"......" The second-ranked wealthy businessman in Fucheng, can it really be described by the words clown?
Cheng Xi was speechless for a long time, and finally chose to silently give the Zhao family some wax.
She has been with Shen Xingluo for so long, and it can be said that she knows him very well, since she dares to say so, she must have a plan in her heart, if she is really unlucky, it must be the Zhao family.
The carriage gradually stopped, and Wangshu's voice came from outside, "Childe, madam, it's here." ”
When the two got out of the car, they saw an old man standing at the gate of the Shen family's courtyard, and the beard on his chin curled with his breathing.
"Unfilial piety, unfilial piety! There is no reason, she took her husband and sister to Fucheng to enjoy the scenery and eat delicious food, and she actually left her master at home alone, and no one knew about starving to death! ”
"Master, did you meet Shen Zhang's at today's free clinic?"
She is familiar with the tone of this speech, and the entire Shenjia Village is also Shen Ziqing's mother-in-law is in this tone.
Xu Lao was stunned, "It turns out that the woman who likes to lie on the ground and roll around is Shen Zhang's?" ”
......: "You don't know who the other party is, and you still learn to speak?" What about the face!
"Master, didn't I tell you in the morning, there is an aunt in the ancestral hall who cooks every day, and you can just eat with the patrol team."
I promised to do well when I left, why did I regret it after half a day? Besides, it was you who obviously invited you to go to enjoy the flowers together, but you always disliked the fat powder and refused.
Xu Lao snorted, his expression stinky.
"Can you eat the food in the ancestral hall? In addition to stewed game, steamed rice is not yet alcohol! ”
But that's something that ordinary people can't afford to eat.
Cheng Ximu Ran, pushed open the door and walked to the kitchen, "I'll go make something to eat, just wait a while." ”
If it weren't for the fact that her little girl didn't eat much in the restaurant...... Don't get used to it!
Xu Lao immediately smiled, hummed a small tune, and walked with his hands behind his back.
The sun overhead has gradually turned west, indicating that after noon, it is impossible to cook a serious meal at this point, so Cheng Xi simply made some simple food pads to cushion his stomach.
She drove Shen Xingqi and Wangshu, who were coming to help, out of the kitchen and into the space.
However, this operation could not stop Shen Xingluo, and after she took out the refrigerated steak from the time-standing storage compartment, he had already washed his hands and stood in front of the counter.
"What are you going to do?"
"Keep it simple, fry the steak, heat up the ready-made shortbread crust and make a few Chinese burgers."
Shen Xingluo took over the steak and took care of almost all the work, and Cheng Xi just went to the yard to pick two fist-sized tomatoes and a few lettuce leaves.
After a few moments, six hearty burgers are served.
The puff pastry that has been fried until golden brown on both sides is crunchy when you bite into it, and when you bite into it, you will find a black pepper steak and flaky tomatoes wrapped in lettuce leaves, which burst in your mouth instantly.
Xu Lao narrowed his eyes when he ate, "This is the food that people eat, the old man's mouth has been raised by your husband and wife." ”
"......: "It turns out that you know that you have bad tastes now.
The old man ate two hamburgers in one go, and the rest of them were divided one equally, and his stomach instantly felt full.
After eating the extra meal, Xu Lao didn't know where to go, and Cheng Xi followed Shen Xingluo to the ten acres of land used to grow potatoes in the clan.
More than a month has passed since germination, and the growth is quite gratifying after one fertilization.
"Look at this posture and it's about to bloom."
"Well, in a few days."
Flowering means that the plants begin to bear fruit underground and can be harvested after a while.
The growth cycle of potatoes is about 60-100 days, Lin'an Province is located in the north-central part of the country, the four seasons are distinct, the climate is suitable, and it can be two seasons a year, and in the early stage, they have shortened the time for raising seedlings at home.
"If you plant in mid-April, you can harvest in late June or early July."
You can catch the autumn planting in August.
Shen Xingluo was silent for a moment and looked sideways at her, "Xiaoxi." ”
"Huh?"
"How about we leave for the capital after the first potato harvest?"
Ha?
Cheng Xi was stunned, "Isn't the additional test after autumn at the end of August?" ”
No matter how slow the potatoes grow, they will be harvested in early July at the latest, and it only takes 10 days to travel from Lin'an to Beijing.
"Do you have something to do?"
Shen Xingluo nodded invisibly, "It's all a trivial matter, just leave it to Su Zhan and Fuguang." A few days ago, I heard you talk about a lot of mountains and rivers, why don't you go and see them all the people you pass by? ”
Cheng Xi suddenly remembered the travelogue that she had turned over...... Her heart struck.
"But potato planting and promotion is such a big thing......"
"It's okay, Lord Xie is a good official, and there is still Uncle Man in Shenjia Village, don't worry."
If he had to do everything, what was the use of someone else keeping it?
Shen Xingluo didn't care, he couldn't stay in Shenjia Village all the time, it was very likely that he wouldn't come back for a few years after entering Beijing after the autumn, so Shenjia Village could only rely on themselves.
"I remember that a few days ago, you kept talking to Uncle Manchu, and at that time you thought you were discussing potato planting with him, but it turned out that you were arranging the next thing?"
"Madame is smart."
“......”
"So, does Madame want to accompany her husband to see half of Dayan?"
Shen Xingluo stretched out his hand to her, staring at her with dark eyes and making an invitation.
Cheng Xi smiled without thinking about it, and put his hand on the warm big hand in front of him.
"It's an honor."
