Chapter 63, called Flower Chicken

"Then, Miss, why is this called 'Flower Chicken', it sounds so strange, it looks like it's for Hanako."

Lan'er squatted aside, helping Bai Qiurui add a few sticks of firewood to the firewood pile from time to time.

Seeing this, Bai Qiurui was rare to be serious, and she was very proud of the origin of calling the little girl a flower chicken.

As the name suggests, it is said that it was originally a dish derived from a flower child.

It is said that a long time ago, there was a man named Hanako who begged for food along the way and ended up in a village.

By chance, he got a chicken. But his name is Hanako, and he has neither cooking utensils nor spices.

So he had an idea, and he thought of eating it by directly removing the internal organs of the chicken, wrapping the soil in lotus leaves and roasting it on the fire.

Wait until the soil is roasted until it is dry and cracked, and the aroma of the chicken comes out, which is called flower chicken.

The little girl listened to it with relish, and after listening to Bai Qiurui's story, she made a comment on herself.

The chicken called Hanako in that story must have been stolen from the village.

This conclusion made Bai Qiurui cry and laugh, she shook her head with a smile, and then remembered that she went out to buy cloth.

With a turn of her eyes, Bai Qiurui looked at the little girl and said, "Lan'er, which is the most famous clothing store in the capital?" ”

Bai Qiurui has been in this time and space for a long time, and she has never cared about this.

Compared with her, what these little girls in the house are best at is discussing which one in the capital has good rouge gouache and which one has more clothes and styles.

Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, the little girl already understood, and immediately began to count the treasures.

"Miss, Baijia Cloth Village has the most styles of clothes in the capital, and the patterns are the latest, but the price is a little expensive. The clothes in the Li family clothing shop are not as new as those of Baijia Cloth Village, but the styles are very good-looking, and the price is slightly cheaper. And the Zhang family's ......"

Bai Qiurui listened to the clouds, and after a while, she waved her hand and decided to go to the most expensive Baijia cloth village to have a look.

Except for being expensive, it's good to be expensive, and expensive is no longer a problem for Bai Qiurui now.

Since she crossed over to replace the weak and incompetent original body and got noticed in front of her father, her life with her mother Liu has slowly become better.

Especially now, her father has changed a new yard for her and the Liu family, and has allocated a lot of maids to serve her, and there is no shortage of money at all.

Bai Qiurui's own private small treasury alone has saved a lot of silver in this short period of time.

Adhering to the principle that if money is not made to be spent, then money will be meaningless.

Bai Qiurui decided that she would take Lan'er to the streets tomorrow, and then go to Baijiabu Village to choose a good horse and come back.

After Lan'er finished introducing the top-ranked clothing shops in the capital one by one, she remembered in hindsight how her young lady began to pay attention to the fabric of the clothes.

She remembered that in the past, her young lady never cared about this, but didn't the young lady have a sweetheart, so she remembered to dress up well?

Lan'er remembered Xiao Mingrui, who always forgot to run in her yard some time ago, but she saw that her young lady frowned when she heard this young master, and it shouldn't be interesting to this young master.

So, after thinking about it, the little girl decided to ask her own lady directly.

"Miss, why did you suddenly remember to ask about these clothes today?"

Bai Qiurui looked at the little girl's obviously inquiring expression, as if she had seen a type of girl whose gossip soul was burning in her previous life.

If you can't do anything else, you love to inquire about gossip.

"Want to know? I won't tell you. ”

Bai Qiurui opened her mouth playfully, and Lan'er didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that the little girl suddenly took a deep breath: "What a fragrant taste." ”

At this time when the master and servant were talking, the chicken on the fire had already been roasted.

Bai Qiurui put out the fire, and then took a stone from the open field and smashed it against the mud.

It was the first time for Lan'er to see her young lady so brave, and she was shocked again.

Her young lady, when did she become so strong!

If no one was caught next to Bai Qiurui and called the flower chicken, it would be a knock, and with her unremitting efforts, the mud outside had completely fallen off.

The lotus leaves inside had been roasted brown by the fire, and Bai Qiurui found a kitchen knife to cut the rope.

Wait until you use chopsticks to open the steaming lotus leaf, revealing the golden oily chicken inside.

At this moment, the tempting aroma suddenly filled the surrounding air, and the aroma of chicken mixed with the unique fragrance of lotus leaves, the two flavors were intertwined, making people can't help but swallow when they smell it.

Lan'er stared wide-eyed at the golden-colored, oily old hen in the lotus leaves.

If she was not mistaken, the lotus leaves were still bubbling with oil.

Bai Qiurui was quite satisfied when she saw this, and with her experience as a food blogger, this hot flower chicken is the most tender and delicious time.

She took a large plate from the small kitchen and moved the whole chicken wrapped in lotus leaves to the plate.

She instructed the little girl to clean up the remnants of the scene, and then carried the chicken on the plate into the small kitchen.

The roasted chicken won't be cold for a while, Bai Qiurui put the chicken on the plate, and she didn't cut it with a knife.

If you call it a flower chicken, you have to eat a whole chicken, and tearing it by hand is the soul.

In order to taste too monotonous, Bai Qiurui prepared a spicy and refreshing dipping sauce after arranging the chicken.

When everything was ready, she put the chicken into the food box along with the dipping sauce, and walked to the study with a full amount of chicken.

Generally, as long as Bai Hong is in the study, he will not leave easily.

After Bai Qiurui stood outside the door of the study with a food box, she saw the housekeeper waiting at the door.

Does this show that his father is still in the study now.

This time, the housekeeper still didn't stop Bai Qiurui, he took the lead in entering the study to inform her the moment he saw Bai Qiurui's figure.

When Bai Qiurui walked to the door of the study, the housekeeper directly pushed the door and invited people in.

Watching the little girl walk in front of her with a food box, this time the food box exuded an attractive fragrance, and the smell was unique. There is also a fresh fragrance.

The housekeeper swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and smiled bitterly in his heart that there was a reason why the eldest lady and the eldest lady were gradually falling out of favor now.

Look at the second lady's cooking skills, it is really unparalleled in the world. In Pingsuri, the second lady's reputation in front of the subordinates has always been very good.

Most of the comments to the eldest lady are rude, temperamental, likes to reprimand subordinates, and loves to get angry.

On the other hand, the second lady's comments are easy-going, smiling, gentle, and easy to serve.

What kind of master do people like the most?

Isn't it just a master who doesn't like to blame people, has a good temper and is easy to serve?

Smelling the tempting fragrance, the housekeeper smiled bitterly in his heart, respectfully invited Bai Qiurui into the study, and then closed the door.

"Daddy."

Bai Qiurui respectfully saluted Bai Hongfu, and didn't hear his voice for a long time.

She quietly looked up and saw that her own father was almost buried by piles of files and cases.

It's an emotionless working machine.

This scene reminded Bai Qiurui of the scene of the countdown to the college entrance examination in her previous life.

The same learning materials are piled up, the same crazy study, the same emotionless.

She resisted the urge to laugh, and then opened her mouth and called him again.

"Huh? Oh, Rui'er is here, Daddy is too busy to take care of you. ”

Bai Hong raised his head and said a word, then frowned again, and buried his head in the sea of punishment and couldn't extricate himself.

Bai Qiurui didn't say anything when she saw this, she walked to her father's table and refilled the teacup that had been drunk without water.

Then she simply cleaned up a place, then opened the food box that was placed aside, and took out the chicken called flower inside.

At the moment when the lid of the food box was opened, the fragrance of flower chicken wafted out from the food box.

Bai Hong, who was thinking hard about the case, suddenly smelled an attractive fragrance, like roast chicken, not the smell of roast chicken.

He stopped thinking about the case and moved his gaze to the direction with the strongest fragrance, that is, Bai Qiurui beside him and the flower chicken in her hand.

"Daddy is busy with official business these days, and my daughter heard that you are busy day and night, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, so I specially made a dish for Daddy to taste."

Bai Qiurui put the chicken on the table, and the whole chicken in the white porcelain plate was golden and bright, as if it was plated with a layer of golden light.

The unique fragrance of lotus leaves and the fragrance of chicken together, Bai Hong took a deep breath, and his stomach contracted uncontrollably.

It was only then that he remembered that he had been busy until now and had not eaten a meal yet.

"This is, roast chicken?"

Bai Hong looked at the chicken on the plate, which was still shiny, steaming to tempt his appetite.

Bai Qiurui smiled softly and explained: "Daddy, this is called Flower Chicken. ”

briefly explained the origin of the name, and Bai Qiurui asked her father to taste it.

Bai Hongshang, who had not eaten before, did not feel hungry, but at this time, there was such a plate of fragrant chicken, and he immediately felt that his stomach began to roar, reminding him that it was time to eat.

Almost without much thought, Bai Hong had already instinctively said the word 'good'.

Bai Qiurui smiled and asked her father to taste it, and told him to tear the chicken directly.

Bai Hong paused for a moment, looking at a plate of chicken without cutlery, he could only tear it with his hands.

The yellow color is called the flower chicken, and a chicken leg is torn off with a light tear.

As soon as you bite into it, the fresh and delicious lips and teeth are fragrant, and the aroma of chicken directly permeates between the lips and tongue, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which makes people want to stop.

Bai Hong hadn't eaten for a day, and he had already eaten a chicken leg in the blink of an eye at this moment.

He took a sip of tea, and saw that Bai Qiurui was so well-behaved and sensible, and sighed rarely.

"It was my father who neglected you before, if Yueyue had half of you who were sensible and well-behaved, then I would be really grateful to my father."

Bai Qiurui smiled softly when she heard this, and then she looked at the pile of documents on Bai Hong's desk, and unexpectedly found that many of them were seen in the file attic of Shen Yuan's Criminal Department.

"Daddy, have you been hurting King Ning's case recently?"

Bai Qiurui said as she added a cup of tea to her father.

Before the words fell, I saw that my father was like a deflated ball, frowning.

After a long time, Bai Hong opened his mouth and said: "Rui'er, I am afraid that the marriage contract between you and the prince of Ning Wangfu will be invalidated." ”

He already knew about it a few days ago, and he wanted to tell his little daughter directly, but he couldn't bear it.

Now he feels that the long pain is better than the short pain, and he turned his heart sideways, even if he said it.

"Daddy, why do you say that?"

Bai Qiurui's face showed just the right amount of surprise, looking like she was just surprised by the incident itself, but she was not shocked by this marriage.

And in her heart, Bai Qiurui had already tried hard to hold back and forcibly controlled herself not to laugh out loud.

Bai Qiurui's expression was flat, and there was no anger and grievance for girls to withdraw from the marriage, which was rare and calm.

Bai Hong looked at his little daughter for a long time, and finally spoke: "There may be a big turmoil in King Ning's mansion, and my father will reply to King Ning in a while and retire this family business for you." ”

Hearing this, Bai Qiurui nodded obediently and saluted: "Thank you, Daddy." ”

Bai Qiurui got the assurance of her own father, and she was already in a hundred hearts, and she was in a very good mood at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Qiurui also wanted to ask King Ning what specific circumstances were involved, but he didn't know that his father was unwilling to reveal a word.

In desperation, Bai Qiurui had no choice but to retreat first.

When she returned to the Bamboo Branch Courtyard, Lan'er quickly ran to her side and said.

"Miss, when are you going to buy new fabrics?"

Looking at the little girl's smiling appearance, Bai Qiurui pretended to be surprised and said, "When did I say that I was going to buy fabrics?" ”

Lan'er's little face collapsed instantly when she heard this: "The slave saw that Miss was asking this, and naturally wondered if Miss wanted to go out to buy clothes." ”

In ancient times, the little girls could only go out with their masters when they went out.

Bai Qiurui looked at Lan'er's excited face, obviously wanting to go out for a walk.

So, she put away her joke and said, "I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow." ”

Lan'er's eyes widened when she heard this: "What Miss said is true?" ”

"Absolutely."

This time, the little girl laughed, and then said directly to Bai Qiurui: "The slave maid just went to tell Madame that Miss wanted to go out to see the new materials in the capital, and Madame has already agreed, saying that Mademoiselle can go out tomorrow." ”

Bai Qiurui smiled when she heard this, she poked Lan'er's face and teased: "I think you little girl also want to go out to play." ”

Lan'er was punctured, her little face turned red all of a sudden, Bai Qiurui knew that the little girl beside her was loyal, and she had suffered a lot by the side of the original owner.

Now that he has replaced the original owner, he will definitely take care of the little girl more.

Early the next morning, Bai Qiurui was woken up from bed by Lan'er early.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Lan'er's excited appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle.

didn't sweep the little girl's interest, Bai Qiurui rarely got up early in the morning with her.

Sitting in front of the state, Bai Qiurui began to doze off in a daze, letting Lan'er toss back and forth on her head.

When she finished dressing up, Bai Qiurui looked at herself in the mirror, and the clothes she was wearing were the ones that Shen Yuan 'temporarily' asked people to buy back for her to change last time.

At this moment, Bai Qiurui suddenly remembered that night, and felt that Shen Yuan was standing behind her, and involuntarily began to feel hot on her face.

"Miss, what's wrong? Is it too hot today? Lan'er looked at her young lady's face a little red, and she just thought it was hot.

When Bai Qiurui heard this, she immediately denied it: "No." ”
