However, everyone is not cooking here, at most boiling tea, Xiao Nianzhi is afraid that it is not good to be special, so after thinking about it, he asked his two subordinates first.

They didn't have any idea about cooking on the Yamen's side.

Xiao Nianzhi was not at ease, and went to ask other colleagues nearby.

I found that everyone didn't object, and I was looking forward to it, so I was a lot more relieved.

When he came back, Cong Xiangwu also explained in a low voice: "Everyone is not very good at this, so it is convenient to go out and eat directly." ”

The main thing is that there is no special kitchen, and it is not easy to clean all the items.

They are office yamen, and they don't have a special well.

The daily water is used to the nearby fetch.

The nearest well is from the side of the Superintendent of Agriculture, and the distance is also a few hundred meters.

After listening to Cong Xiangwu's explanation, Xiao Nianzhi nodded clearly.

She now has a handmaiden, a guard.

Yan Xingxuan prepared a carriage to ensure her daily commute, and Chang Shan worked part-time as a groom by the way.

If she was blue, it was inconvenient to appear in Xiao Nianzhi's office every day, so she arranged to go back to Xiao's house.

In order to ensure Xiao Nianzhi's safety, even if Yan Xingxuan and the others leave later, Chang Shan will stay on the side of the yamen after sending him every day.

This also makes it easier for her to go to the garden at any time when she needs to.

Therefore, Chang Shan is a good helper, if you use more water yourself, let the other party help lift it...... Probably too, right?

Xiao Nianzhi thought uncertainly.

Knowing that he could bring food, and even cook here, as long as he could find a way to bring the water back, Xiao Nianzhi began to ponder, what to eat tomorrow?

Yan Xingxuan also knew that it was not good for him to stay around here all the time.

However, he was reluctant to go.

If there are too many people and too noisy, then send some back?

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Yan Changxia.

The other party was looking here and there, curious about everything.

At this time, Yan Changxia hadn't discovered that there was a person who was secretly poking and preparing to send her back.

The first day was to get used to the office, and it was time to get off duty in the evening.

Xiao Nianzhi simply cleaned up, said hello to the two subordinates, and then packed up and walked back.

Yan Xingxuan and the others naturally sent each other all the way, in fact, he really wanted to follow him into the Xiao Mansion together, but right......

Not so good.

Therefore, in the end, I watched Xiao Nianzhi enter the door, and then the uncle and nephew simply cleaned up and prepared to go back to their respective homes.

Yan Changxia didn't really want to go back.

But......

Nowadays, it is not like in the official kiln or in the Guozijian, where there is a place to eat, live and play.

The yamen of Shanglin Garden, the local committee is not too big, unless you go to the garden outside, otherwise, the space is too small.

Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi now has an official position, and they have been surrounding each other, and they have also disturbed each other a little.

Yan Changxia was no longer happy, and in the end he could only honestly return to the house.

After winter, the days become shorter.

After the next value, I tossed around and returned to Xiao Mansion, and the sky was already dark.

In fact, this is not too late.

Xianglan was waiting at the door early in the morning, and when she saw Xiao Nianzhi get out of the carriage, she hurriedly handed over a hand stove, for fear that she would freeze.

Xiao Nianzhi nodded, and after thanking them, and saying goodbye to Yan Xingxuan, he strode back.

When they returned home, the walnuts had prepared dinner early and waited for her to come back to eat.

The father and son of the Xiao family do not come back every day, and everyone in the house eats together every day, and there is rarely a time to toss.

However, this is no longer the case!

The eldest girl will have to go back to the house to eat and live every day in the future.

This made Aunt Qin very happy, and Uncle Zheng originally thought that he would drive Xiao Nianzhi to take the upper and lower values every day.

However, the eldest girl now has Changshan, but he has no chance to perform.

Xiao Nianzhi had never had much chance to come back before, but now it is rare to come back, and Aunt Qin and the others went out to buy early in the morning.

In the evening, the three of them crowded into the kitchen and tossed around.

Pinching the time for Xiao Nianzhi to return home, the steaming meal was just on the table and could be started.

The main family is Xiao Nianweaving herself, so Aunt Qin set up a small table, so that the dishes are compact, and Xiao Nianweaving is also convenient to eat.

It's just that she was afraid that the big girl would think too much, so she made a special inquiry before setting the table, and after knowing that Xiao Nianzhi didn't mind, she went to operate.

In winter, mutton is the most nourishing, so today Aunt Qin stewed mutton soup.

After Xiao Nianzhi's guidance, Aunt Qin's craftsmanship has also improved significantly.

Tonight's mutton soup is stewed fresh and fragrant, the mutton is soft and delicious, the soup is rich in flavor, and extraordinarily delicious.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't hold back, and took a sip of soup first.

The fragrance is in the mouth, and the warmth flows into the body.

This bite goes down, warm and comfortable.

The most important thing is that the taste is really well handled.

Xiao Nianzhi was not stingy with his praise, and nodded at Aunt Qin: "It's delicious." ”

Hearing Xiao Nianzhi's praise, Aunt Qin smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

She deliberately didn't rush to eat, just to see Xiao Nianzhi's evaluation of this mutton soup.

This is also convenient for her later improvements.

You must know that Aunt Qin thinks that she is also very good at stewing soup.

However, after meeting the big girl, I found out that ......

I used to be too shallow.

However, she is also constantly learning and improving.

Now that he was praised, he went to eat in a fluttering manner.

Xiao Nianzhi eats by himself, and the other servants go to the kitchen or cubicle to eat.

Xiao Nianzhi drank two mouthfuls of mutton soup before starting to taste other dishes.

Stir-fry the chicken until fragrant, braised the duck, and then stir-fry the fish with sauce......

Every dish tastes good.

Compared with when she first came, Aunt Qin's craftsmanship has indeed improved a lot.

Xiao Nianzhi ate dinner deliciously, and then drank a big bowl of mutton soup.

After eating, I was sweating all over.

Between the lips and teeth, there seems to be a trace of the freshness of mutton, the tenderness of radish, and the beauty of the soup......

A table of dishes, this mutton soup, really satisfied Xiao Nianzhi.

After eating, I took a brief rest for a while, and made a simple plan for tomorrow's work.

Although Xiao Nianzhi has not officially started the handover work now, she still knows some about the general process.

So, after thinking about it and making a simple plan, I got up and went to take a shower.

It's getting colder today, so bathing won't be as frequent as in summer.

Because if you don't keep warm enough, you can easily get caught with wind chill.

In the era when the medical conditions are not too good, and a small cold may be easy to cure, and it will be directly washed off, such a thing as taking a bath in winter is mostly enjoyed by the powerful.

For example, Xiao Nianzhi can arrange a bath every day if he needs to.

Aunt Qin and Walnut must have cleaned up the clean room early in the morning, and worked hard to raise the temperature, striving to make Xiao Nianzhi comfortable.

However, servants like Aunt Qin and their sisters may not be able to take a shower once in half a month.

Two more
