After Xie Qiaoyu was full, it was also a bit interesting to accompany Mrs. Xie to the house to do needlework.

Mrs. Xie said, "Your embroidery is good. ”

Xie Qiaoyu smiled proudly, the guy who ate naturally cared about it very much, his fingers were very flexible, and the crane on the handkerchief was lifelike, he had just made a look before, and embroidered the red top of the crane in the courtyard of Mrs. Xie.

It was still raining outside the door, and the only sound in the room was the sound of needlework and thread.

Old Madam Xie cut out the lines with scissors, put down her needlework, and she stood up to see Xie Qiaoyu's embroidery. Xie Qiaoyu is very calm and nimble.

Xie Qiaoyu pretended to be calm, and subconsciously showed off his embroidery work.

"How do you live in this Zhuangzi?" Old Madam Xie asked.

How can this be, Xie Qiaoyu didn't dare to say bad things, he trembled: "Except for being a little tired, it's acceptable, it's quite quiet here." ”

"That's good, I'm afraid you're not used to it, the brothers here can cook, you let Xiaoyun teach you to cook tomorrow."

Xie Qiaoyu hung her head dejectedly: "Grandmother, I don't have to cook in the future." ”

Old Madam Xie shook her head and said seriously: "Be prepared, I used to be with your grandfather, and your grandfather liked the vegetable soup I made the most." ”

"Isn't that why my grandfather loves my grandmother, so I like to eat vegetable soup? Otherwise, the grandfather didn't have anything to eat. "Grandfather Xie made a county order after being admitted to fame, but his father, Xie Yuan, was not angry and only became a county magistrate.

But a county is already the emperor of soil in Ningjiang County, as long as he doesn't mess with the county order, the Xie family can walk sideways in Ningjiang County. In addition, the Xie family has roots in Ningjiang County for generations, and the roots are big and deep, so they can't be provoked.

Old Madam Xie felt that this grandson's mouth was very sweet, and she said, "Let you cook, don't try to escape." ”

Xie Qiaoyu: "......"

He is so miserable, he has to mow the grass, farm and cook, is there a young master like him? I knew that I should fool Xie Weixuan over and be happy together.

Xie Qiaoyu returned to the courtyard and cried silently, God, why is he so bitter, the scholar he likes is a negative man, and he looks at a scholar, he doesn't look like a scholar, but like a fighter, if he wants to get married, he has to wait for filial piety, and his grandmother took him to dig wild vegetables.

Cry, cry, cry!

Sad, sad, sad!

The next day, he went to fry the kitchen with great vigour, Xie Qiaoyu rolled up his sleeves and frightened the kitchen lady.

"Third Young Master, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

"My grandmother taught me how to cook."

The cook looked at Xie Qiaoyu's posture and was a little scared, she thought for a while: "Third Young Master, why don't you light the fire first?" ”

"No problem, just tell me." Xie Qiaoyu bent down and took the match to light the fire, and the cook said seriously: "Third young master, you first use the dry grass to light it and then throw it into the stove, and when the fire rises, just watch the fire." ”

Xie Qiaoyu nodded, wiped the match yellow, orange and orange light on his face, and with a whoosh Xie Qiaoyu threw the match into the dead leaves, and then kept adding dead branches and fallen leaves, making the fire up, that is, the fire was fierce.

"Ahem, how about this?"

"It can be that the third young master can put less firewood, the third young master wants to drink white porridge this morning, let's make lean porridge today."

Xie Qiaoyu is full of confidence, and the lean porridge is very simple when he hears it.

The chef is conscientious: "The most important thing in lean porridge is the processing of lean meat, first prepare ginger, soy sauce, and salt to marinate to remove the taste." ”

Bring the hot water to a boil first.

Xie Qiaoyu took a small piece of lean meat and put it on the board, carefully for fear of cutting off his fingers, the lean meat was cut into large pieces, not as thin as the one he ate, and it didn't look beautiful.

The cook brought a big bowl over, Xie Qiaoyu poured the ginger and others into it and began to scratch it with her hands, it was slippery and greasy. Xie Qiaoyu grabbed the lean meat evenly, and then went to wash the rice, and washed the rice three times before boiling it in the pot until it was white and thick.

"The third young master can eat meat now." The cook reminded.

Xie Qiaoyu very solemnly threw the lean meat into the pot and stirred it a few times with a soup spoon.

The cook also breathed a sigh of relief, she continued: "I still have to make steamed buns and buns this morning, the dough is already ready, and the third young master will follow me to pinch the buns." ”

The method of steamed bread is very rough, as long as the dough is kneaded into a circle, Xie Qiaoyu put the churned cabbage into the center of the dough, and then wraps it whole, an oval, simple bun is ready.

The cook was so shocked that she lost her speech: "......"

I've never seen such ugly buns!

Xie Qiaoyu also looked at his buns and compared them with the buns in the cook's hand, and he found that the cook's buns were a little better than him.

"Third young master, there must be folds in making buns, look at this folds." The cook's hands are very flexible, and a beautiful bun appears in her hand.

Xie Qiaoyu lowered his head and continued to make his own buns, he pinched the edge of the bun with his fingers, and a strangely shaped bun with irregular folds appeared in Xie Qiaoyu's hand.

The cook stubbornly taught it three more times.

Three ugly buns appeared in Xie Qiaoyu's hands in order.

Cook: "......" is tired.

"It's good that the buns can be eaten, and the third young master can make perfect with practice." The cook encouraged.

Xie Qiaoyu made a lot of steamed buns again, and she was very satisfied. He multiplied the lean porridge and cooked the buns, and Xie Qiaoyu took the porridge and buns to the main hall.

"Grandmother, look at what I did!" Xie Qiaoyu showed off the breakfast she had made on the table.

Old Madam Xie looked at the strange-shaped buns and was a little silent. I still gave my grandson a face and ate a small one, and the taste was still good, but the shape was a little unsightly.

Xie Qiaoyu took a beautiful bun made by a cook and ate it happily.

Mrs. Xie: "......"

Then he ate a few bites of lean porridge with a spoon, and Xie Qiaoyu felt that he was alive again.

"You're welcome, grandmother." Xie Qiaoyu took a steamed bun made by himself to Mrs. Xie, and took the steamed bun made by the cook in her hand and continued to eat.

After eating, Xie Qiaoyu was very confident, he had cooked all the food, and he shouldn't be washing the dishes. He took his hoe and planned to dig the ground.

"The ground is still wet, you can go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits, and pick some soaphorns to come back."

Xie Qiaoyu took Xiaoyun, who was familiar with the shape of the mountain, on the mountain together, they didn't dare to go inside, they only walked around the periphery, Xie Qiaoyu walked very carefully for fear of getting his shoes dirty, and as a result, he accidentally stepped into a mud pit, and the whole person was cold.

"Third Young Master, how are you?" Xiao Yun pulled Xie Qiaoyu up.

Xie Qiaoyu was already numb, the son of his dignified county Cheng family actually fell into the mud pit, and he was going crazy.

"I'm fine." His heart is dead.

He became like this as a great beauty, and Xie Qiaoyu no longer had worldly desires.

Xiaoyun picked a few wild fruits and handed them to Xie Qiaoyu, pulled him to find the soap horn again, picked a lot of them and put them in the back basket, and Xie Qiaoyu's soul had already floated during the whole process.

"Third young master, don't worry, just go back and take off your clothes and shoes and change them, this is nothing, we will accidentally step into the mud puddle." Xiaoyun comforted him very intimately.

"Okay." Xie Qiaoyu responded aggrievedly.

The people on Zhuangzi have realized Xie Qiaoyu's temper in the past few days, he is a good-tempered master, he is good-looking and good-tempered, and he is full of vitality all day long, such a person is the most likeable.

Xie Qiaoyu washed the wild fruit with the mountain spring in the mountain, and took a bite, this fruit was sweet.

Xie Qiaoyu carried his small basket on his back and nibbled on wild fruits and went back to Zhuangzi.

A hairball covered in thorns rolled over, Xiaoyun quickly dodged, Xie Qiaoyu didn't dodge being hit by a square, and gasped.

Good guys, this hurts!

He turned his head to look at Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun picked up the hairball, and said righteously: "Third young master, this is a hedgehog." ”

Xie Qiaoyu: "......"

Why is it always him who is unlucky.

He didn't eat the fruit anymore, and it was embarrassing that Xiaoyun still picked up the hedgehog, and his heart hurt: "Let it go." ”

Xiaoyun nodded and praised him: "The third young master is so kind. ”

The third young master didn't want to speak, and he was sad with a small basket on his back.

Back in the courtyard, Mrs. Xie stood at the door looking at the scenery, still smiling, and when she saw her grandson like a mud monkey, her smile gradually solidified.

"You fell into a mud puddle?" Old Madam Xie hit the nail on the head.

Xie Qiaoyu: "......"

*

Wan Mingji returned from town.

+6 silver

Umbrella +2

Food +3

gave the rest of the silver to Li Yun, gave the umbrella to Wan Xiuyue and Wan Xiubai, and Wan Mingji went out.

There is a river in Linshui Village, and women and children usually wash clothes in this river, but it rained heavily yesterday and did not wash clothes, but there are many children who are collecting shells and crabs, and using small pockets to net small fish.

Wan Mingji walked up, and someone shouted: "Brother Wan, you also come to catch crabs." ”

"Catch some crabs and sell them." In fact, he eats it himself, and he wants to eat meat secretly.

Wan Mingji didn't have the slightest shame of catching crabs with children, he even grabbed crabs with children, and relied on his courage to catch a lot of crabs and small shrimp in the rain and put them in the bamboo pocket.

When a group of adults came back, the children went to the river to catch crabs and were told that it had just rained, and the adults were afraid that the children would be washed away by the river.

A child was beaten and screamed.

"Brother Wan is also here, he will watch us."

"I didn't see Wan Mingji, I only saw you playing by the river. Play and lie and deceive people! See I don't beat you! ”

As soon as the child turned his head, there was still Brother Wan, probably because he ran away when he saw the adult coming back.

“……”

This is unjust! Even small children are bullied!

Wan Mingji returned with a full load, and the wailing of children could be heard in the distance.

"I'm not doing it again! Never do it again! ”

"I'm not lying, I'm screaming!"

Tut-tut, that's miserable.

It's a pity that he is an adult and does not have to suffer like this.

Wan Mingji boiled crabs and dried shrimp in jars deep in the woods, and although there were no condiments, they were very delicious. When the two younger brothers are brought away, oh no, the two younger brothers are turned on the right path, and he can bring them to eat wild meat.

If the two younger brothers sued, he would not admit it.

Wan Mingji picked the wild fruit and went back and handed it to his two younger brothers.

The two younger brothers were very moved, and Wan Mingji remembered to bring them wild fruits when they went out.

"Big brother, you're so nice."

"I'm going to read a book first."
