Chapter 141: The small courtyard is peaceful

At dinner, Su Xiaowan did not deliver food to Fang Yu's room.

The grandson said that he would not eat dinner, King De and the princess ate very little, and Yang Yan ate very little, only Princess Leping ate a little more, and all the meals sent were withdrawn to the kitchen and there was a lot left.

Su Xiaowan looked at the leftovers that she had only eaten a few bites, feeling a little lost in her heart, and resentful of Fang Yu.

But what she wants to think about now is not to hate Fang Yu, but how to get close to Taisun.

Although she cooks for her grandson every day, her grandson has Luo Qing to serve her closely, and she doesn't even have the opportunity to serve tea and pour water.

Normally, Su Xiaowan left to go home after cooking dinner, but she didn't leave today. Her reason is: in case the grandson is hungry at night, she will keep watch for a while.

When the sun set, Chen Xiao took out the melon seeds soaked in the five-spice soup, spread them flat on the bamboo sieve and filtered the water to dry, and then spread the pickled pork strips one by one on the bamboo sieve to dry.

Princess De had nothing to do, watching Chen Xiao do these things on the side, while asking her what to do after these things?

"After the melon seeds are dried, you can stir-fry them with salt. Pork jerky, air dried, steamed in a pot, and then air-dried, or roasted. After that, put it in the jar and eat it whenever you want."

"Is this pork raw?"

"Yes."

Princess De picked up a melon seed and tasted it. The melon seeds can be eaten raw, not to mention that they are cooked.

"Well, these melon seeds are very delicious."

"It's more fragrant when it dries."

Chen Xiao had introduced that this was cooked with "five spices" before, and Princess De smiled coincidentally:

"Can you give me the recipe for your five spices?"

"Quite simply, star anise, cinnamon, cumin are the main ingredients in the five spices, and you can also add white cardamom, cloves, licorice, or peppercorns and ginger. In short, there should not be too many ingredients for boiling spiced melon seeds, and it is best not to exceed five kinds. The above mentioned kinds can be mixed and matched at will, as long as the main ingredients star anise, cinnamon, and cumin are there."

"Ouch, it looks like I'm going to have to learn the herbs first." Princess De said with a smile. Because these condiments are all medicinal herbs.

The two chattered. Princess De did not have the frame of a princess, Chen Xiao did not grovel, and the two chatted very usually.

Su Xiaowan stood not far away and watched, she wanted to join and get closer to Princess De, but what could she talk about with the princess? The best place to start is to ask Chan some questions and talk to the princess, but she doesn't want to flatter Chan. An ordinary woman is not worth it.

Chen Xiao laid out the pork jerky, then stacked all the bamboo sieves on top of each other and prepared to carry them to the empty house to dry.

"Can you move?" Princess De subconsciously reached out to help.

"Lift." Chen Xiao easily carried a stack of bamboo sieves and walked to an empty room in the small courtyard.

Princess De followed her and smiled, "I forgot, you are a Hercules."

At this time, Fang Yu helped Taisun out of the room. After the sun set, it was very cool in the yard, and Fang Yufu Taisun came out for a walk.

Seeing that Chen was carrying such a large stack of bamboo sieves, Taisun said, "Aren't you going to help?"

Fang Yu smiled, "I don't have as much strength as hers."

Luo Qing went over to help, Chen Xiao said "no", she kicked open the door with her foot, and walked in with a bamboo sieve.

Fang Yu said, "Look, it's easy for her."

Taisun smiled and shook his head: "You must know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

The grandson is twenty-two years old, one year older than Fang Yu, but Fang Yu is very mature in all aspects, which makes people feel as if he is older than the grandson. But no, they are the same age.

Fang Yu said, "It should be that she pities me and cherishes the jade. You don't know, I was beaten up by her every night and couldn't sleep well." Fang Yu said this in a whisper, so he only said it to the grandson alone.

Taisun laughed when he heard this. He understood that he couldn't sleep well, and felt that it might mean something else.

Fang Yu helped his grandson walk down the steps, and Chen Xiao also dried the bamboo sieve and walked out of the house.

Taisun said, "Let's go to Yang Yan's house and have a look."

So the two slowly walked into Yang Yan's house.

Su Xiaowan looked at the closeness of the grandson and Fang Yu, and thought: Why do they get along so well? How can she get close to her grandson?

At night, Su Xiaowan left. The grandson didn't say he was hungry until he went to bed.

Chen Xiao and Fang Yu closed the door and went to sleep.

Of course, not really sleeping, but going into the space for supper.

Fang Yu said, "Let's cook a bowl of noodles!"

Chen Xiao said, "Yes," and then took out a packet of dried noodles.

"Huh?" Fang Yu was referring to him kneading dough to make noodles, but Chen Xiao took out a bag of something?

"Eat these quickly, if you don't eat them, you should throw them away." The vacuum-packed dry noodles that Chen Xiao bought before crossing have a shelf life of 18 months, although it has only been ten months (production date) now, she has bought a lot, and so far, she has not eaten 1 percent.

"What is this?" Fang Yu picked it up and looked at it.

"Noodles! Isn't it written?"

The packaging is printed with simplified characters, Fang Yu looks at these words, roughly like Chen Xiao looks at Japanese with Chinese characters, but it is better than looking at Japanese, and he can guess more than half of the words.

Chen Xiao said as he turned on the fire to boil the water.

Fang Yu said, "You teach me to know your words there, right?"

Before Chen Xiao took out the drug instructions, Fang Yu found that they did not keep the formula secret, and everything was written clearly. If you learn their words, you can learn a lot from such small things alone.

"You can't read?" Chen Xiao with a mocking mockery.

"I don't know much of your writing." Fang Yu is sincerely seeking advice.

"Alas, I've been out of primary school for many years, and I don't know how to teach people to read."

Although Chen Xiao was sarcastic, he also seriously recalled: How did he learn to read and write when he was a child? Starting with Hanyu Pinyin? Or do you want to start with a radical?

For an old student with a foundation like Fang Yu, he should start directly from reading aloud, right? Just like she reads traditional Chinese characters, in fact, she will listen more and read more.

Let Chen Xiao read aloud to Fang Yu, she didn't have the patience. However, she thought of a solution.

While the water was still boiling, Chen Xiao entered the study and took out a tablet. Open the e-book and click "Read aloud".

[Chapter 1, Astronomy.] In ancient times, people regarded nature as mysterious, believing that there was a supreme lord in the entire universe, that is, the emperor or God. The tablet emits an AI reading female voice.

Chen Xiao pointed to the tablet: "See, this text with color change is the text being read." You listen and look at it again. Listen to a few more books like this, and you'll be literate."

Fang Yu took the tablet very curiously and looked at the half-understood text on it.

Chen Xiao pressed the pause button just now and said, "Press here to continue reading; Press it again, it's pause. Press this small cross to turn off the reading function, click here, 'Read two words aloud, it is to start reading aloud.'

Chen Xiao gestured again, then clicked on it, and let him continue listening.

[In ancient texts, Tianhe Emperor often became synonymous. The ancients also believed that all kinds of natural phenomena have their presiding officers, and people personified them and gave them certain names, such as Feilian called by the wind master, Pingping by the rain master, Fenglong by the cloud master, Xihe by the sun emperor, and Wangshu by the moon emperor......]

Chen Xiao was like a child, giving him a tablet, and then went to cook noodles himself.
