Chapter 10: Spending the Night

When Lu Xiaowen took He Shaoguang to touch the door lock of the big kitchen, he heard He Shaoguang's clear sigh behind him.

"It's locked, it's okay, let's go through the window."

Lu Xiaowen felt that he must be crazy, and came to the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal chickens!

Why use stolen ones?

Isn't this his house?

He stepped into the kitchen with a leap of time, bent down and searched for a while, and only thought of this question when he came out with a chicken in one hand and saw the satisfaction on He Shaoguang's face.

"Anything else?" Lu Xiaowen lowered his voice.

"No need, no need, we have it in the yard, let's go!" He Shaoguang thoughtfully opened the way for him to avoid the patrolling family.

It's still incense that was stolen.

He Shaoguang dipped the chicken in starch and flour, coated it in egg wash, and dipped it in a circle. When the oil was about six minutes hot, He Shaoguang carefully put the whole chicken into the oil pot, fried it repeatedly until the skin was yellowed, and then fished it out, and then fried it again over high heat.

During this process, the high-ranking General Lu helped her light a fire on the side, and He Shaoguang instructed him to add some firewood from time to time.

I quickly mixed a garlic soy sauce dipping sauce and cumin spicy powder, and sprinkled them on the two fried chickens respectively. Smelling the tempting fragrance wafting in front of him, He Shaoguang was indeed hungry.

So she asked Lu Xiaowen: "Is there any wine?" ”

Lu Xiaowen took out his treasure, burning knives with fried chicken... Well.

He Shaoguang directly tore a big chicken leg with his hand, handed it to Lu Xiaowen, and then thought to himself: "I used to do it at home, so I went to find my second brother, and we sat on the roof and watched the moon, and the moon didn't come out to see the stars." ”

"He's a man who talks a lot of nonsense, and he says something that he doesn't have. I don't like to hear it, I just want to find someone to eat with me, this is called a rice pairing. ”

"Rice pairing?" Lu Xiaowen chuckled, "Your word is interesting." ”

"Yes," He Shaoguang was melancholy, "I don't have any sisters, and my eldest brother has a coffin face all day long, so you can't let me go to my father and mother to drink and talk, right?" My second brother is a little stupid, but he can eat it. ”

"Does your second brother know that you said that about him?" Lu Xiaowen searched in his mind, and remembered that He Changjie was a good rectum, and he had just rated hundreds of household heads a year ago.

Young man, you need to exercise more.

"I don't know." He Shaoguang was a little drunk, stood up and staggered, "Without a meal partner, I will be bored eating." ”

"Is fried chicken delicious?" Suddenly asked, Lu Xiaowen wiped his mouth under her burning gaze: "It's delicious, I've never eaten chicken like this." ”

"Of course! I'll have a lot more and have a chance..."

"What's the chance?" Lu Xiaowen was still waiting for the next step, but he didn't hear the sound, but saw He Shaoguang lying on the chair drunk, already asleep.

When I looked at her cup, I drank most of it.

"It's really a drink of guts, but I don't have a lot of alcohol." Lu Xiaowen shook his head, he really looked down on her at the beginning.

Lift her up, move her to the bed, and cover her with the quilt. Seeing that the hour had already passed the hour, he simply couldn't sleep, Lu Xiaowen gently closed the door, turned around and walked into the study next to him to deal with official business.

Recently, the Turks have not been peaceful, and there are constant small frictions between tribes, and major conflicts will inevitably not endanger the border between China and the DPRK. Lu Xiaowen frowned and read the letter from the spy, and wrote a note.

...

He Shaoguang woke up and slept until three o'clock in the morning, which was simply refreshed. When she was still thinking about what to eat for lunch, she heard Lu Xiaowen's maidservant Jin come to tell her that Lu Xiaowen would come back with her for lunch today.

He Shaoguang said that it was strange today, Lu Xiaowen was either in the palace or with the soldiers for lunch, why did he come back here today?

Whose birthday is it today? He Shaoguang asked a special question, and Kite Jin was a little speechless, and replied that Lu Xiaowen's birthday was on the day of the winter solstice.

He Shaoguang didn't care about being choked by the maidservant, anyway, just prepare an extra lunch.

Yesterday I ate cold food all day, and today I want to eat something hot.

Steaming hot white rice with a few home-cooked dishes.

He Shaoguang personally went to the big kitchen to walk around, and saw that today's herring was good, so he asked the kitchen if there was any pickled sauerkraut? I'm going to make a sauerkraut fish.

At the end of the walk, the proposed food list was: sauerkraut fish fillet, braised short ribs, seasonal vegetables and white jade tofu soup.

"Wouldn't it be a little easier?" Zhijun followed He Shaoguang's side, the first time my uncle came back to eat at noon, not to mention the eighteen mountain delicacies, is the three dishes and one soup a little shabby?

He Shaoguang was helpless: "It's shameful to waste." This is also the idea she instilled in the He family since she was a child, and there will be no habit of extravagance and waste in the He family.

Every time she dined with the old lady, she smacked her tongue at the table of forty-eight dishes, and she only moved one or two bites of everything, and some of them were even served down without being used.

It's often thrown away, what a waste.

Seeing that Zhijun was still entangled, He Shaoguang took a step back: "At most, add a cold dish to him and shoot cucumbers!" ”

Lu Xiaowen got off early today, and on the way from the long street to the outside of the palace, he had to pass the Tangli Palace where Concubine Xiao Shu lived. It just so happened that Concubine Xiao Shu came back from the Taiji Palace today, and she saw him from a distance while sitting on the sedan chair.

"Huh? General Lu. Concubine Xiao waved at him, and Lu Xiaowen had to stop and wait for her to command.

"I heard that General Lu is newly married, and this palace hasn't congratulated you yet." Concubine Xiao Shufei sat on the sedan chair and did not move, lazily congratulating him.

"Thank you for your care." Lu Xiaowen always lowered his head when he replied, and never raised half a minute.

"Seeing the general in a hurry, he must be eager to return home, and a beautiful woman is pregnant." Concubine Xiao Shu is still lazy, but no one can hear her displeasure, "It's just that the little niece of the Japanese palace came to cry with the palace, and the palace is also distressed." General Lu, don't forget the old ones if you have a new person? ”

Seeing that Lu Xiaowen didn't speak, Concubine Xiao Shufei didn't want to be in a hurry, so she asked him to get up: "General Lu, go back, you should think about Yan'er's matter." The palace also wants to take the five princes to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and you also know who the Queen Mother and the Emperor value most. ”

Back at Lu Mansion, He Shaoguang had already prepared lunch. Seeing him come back, he naturally greeted: "Go and clean your hands and you can eat." ”

Returning to the familiar courtyard, Lu Xiaowen's mood relaxed a little. He changed into his homely clothes and helped He Shaoguang set up the dishes: "What are you going to eat today?" ”

He Shaoguang asked him to look at the table by himself: "There are only the two of us who eat, and I don't make so much." Every time we are together, we always have to have dozens of dishes, and we can't eat much, which is too wasteful. If you don't have enough to eat, let the big kitchen bring some? ”

Lu Xiaowen has been practicing martial arts for many years and eats more than others, but the few dishes in front of him are enough for the two of them.

"No, that's enough." Lu Xiaowen is not a difficult lord to serve, and the herring that He Shao came back smoothly in the sauerkraut fish is 3 catties, full of a big bowl, and he can't eat it all.
