Chapter 11: Mei'er's Cooking

The little girl was lying on the table with her face sideways, and one wrist under her head was exposed, and the blood marks on it were clearly visible. Originally, the marks of Yu two days ago were not good, but now with the new one, Mei'er's thin wrist appeared a whole purple red, which looked a little infiltrating under the reflection of the lights.

"This girl, why is she disobedient!" Jiang Xingchen's face darkened, and his mood was destroyed in an instant, and when he saw the scars on Mei'er's wrists, he knew that this girl was lying in the morning, and what to pay back Uncle Huang was all under the guise that she was going to Chunxiang Building to do hard labor again.

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Jiang Xingchen's tightly locked eyebrows slowly loosened again. Although he was angry, he was more sad and sorry at the moment, and fell asleep on the table, how tired it was......

"Mei'er, go back to bed and sleep!" Jiang Xingchen leaned over and whispered in the little girl's ear, helping her lying body up, ready to carry her to the bed.

But as soon as she moved, the sleeves of the linen dress rubbed against Mei'er's wrist, and the little girl immediately let out a cry of pain and woke up.

"Ah......h Brother, you're back......" Mei'er put her wrist to her mouth and blew, and then saw Jiang Xingchen.

Hurriedly getting up from the stool, Mei'er smiled embarrassedly and complained, "It's so boring to be at home alone, I actually fell asleep on the table...... Brother, how is today, have you found a job?"

As she spoke, Mei'er widened the distance between her and Jiang Xingchen, and her hands quietly shrank into her sleeves.

Jiang Xingchen ignored Mei'er's question, reprimanded with a stern expression and a straight face: "Weishenme is disobedient?

"Huh?" Mei'er pretended to be surprised and said angrily, "What nonsense is my brother talking about, how could I lie to you...... Forget it, don't worry about you, I'll boil water for you! After a day of running outside, you must be tired, take a hot shower for a while......"

Mei'er said very quickly, not giving Jiang Xingchen any room to interject, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Bang!" Mei'er had just opened the door halfway when Jiang Xingchen pushed it shut again.

Mei'er's babbling words came to an abrupt end, looking at the serious Jiang Xingchen, the corners of her mouth twitched, her lips pursed into a straight line, and her black and white eyes showed an aggrieved look.

"Hey!" Seeing Mei'er's demeanor, Jiang Xingchen couldn't hold back his face anymore, his expression softened, and he said softly: "Mei'er, my brother said that everything at home will be handed over to me in the future!

"My brother didn't find a job yesterday, and I'm afraid I will ...... today I haven't been there for two days, and if I don't go, people won't let me work!" Mei'er lowered her head and said in a small voice.

"How much money did you make?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

Mei'er's little face was raised, and seeing that Jiang Xingchen was no longer straight-faced, her nervous mood slowly relaxed, and there was a hint of pride in her tone: "I earned two copper coins today, double the amount I earned last time, I can buy a white flour cake!"

"Two copper coins, one white flour cake......" Jiang Xingchen pulled Mei'er's little hand in front of him, looked at the purple scars on it, the indescribable bitterness in his heart, and said secretly: "In the future, there will never be such a day again!"

Mei'er obviously felt her brother's care, her heart was warm, and she whispered: "Brother, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all...... Gollum!" Before she could finish speaking, her little belly let out a thunderous roar.

"You didn't eat dinner?" Jiang Xingchen asked with a frown and displeasure.

"Ate at noon and wasn't very hungry at night...... Gollum!" Mei'er blushed, and the lie was blocked back by another thunderclap from her stomach.

"I'll give you money, don't I just let you eat, even if you want to save money, you can't go hungry!" Jiang Xingchen raised his hand and tapped lightly on the little girl's head.

"Brother is such a loser, can I do it if I don't save a little, maybe I will ...... in a few days" Mei'er muttered quietly.

"Little girl, if you say that I am a loser, I am really anxious!" Jiang Xingchen knocked on Mei'er's head again, and then said: "It just so happens that I am also hungry, let's eat together!"

"Didn't my brother eat dinner either, but it seems that there are no more white bread sellers now!"

"Who said that you want to eat white flour cakes, let's make them ourselves this time!Let's go, go to the kitchen!" Jiang Xingchen smiled, imagining the little girl's surprised look when she saw the meat, opened the door, and walked out.

"Do it yourself, how can there be materials in the kitchen......" Mei'er did a hard day's work, came back and drank a sip of cold water and went into the bedroom, she didn't go to the kitchen at all, and she didn't find the spices that Jiang Xingchen bought.

After following Jiang Xingchen into the kitchen, Mei'er saw all kinds of furnishings on the stove at a glance, and her eyes suddenly widened.

"Green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce...... And wine, what are those two things......" After a general glance, Mei'er's little face was already bulging, and she stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xingchen, and said loudly: "Brother, are you crazy, you must have spent all the money to buy these spices, how will we live in the future...... Ugh!"

Before Mei'er finished speaking, a piece of meat in the shape of a long strip suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, shaking slightly.

"It's ...... Meat! Such a big piece, at least ten pounds......" Mei'er's pupils swayed with the meat, and she swallowed her saliva.

"What's the matter, little girl!" Jiang Xingchen laughed, carrying the meat and shaking it in front of the little girl's eyes.

"Brother, you actually went to steal it!How can you do this, if someone finds out......" The little girl did not cheer as Jiang Xingchen expected, but looked at him with an incredulous gaze.

"Hey!" Jiang Xingchen stumbled, so he fell headlong!

"Stop, stop...... This is whether my brother earns well or not!" Jiang Xingchen hurriedly interrupted Mei'er.

Mei'er straightened her eyes, opened her mouth slightly and was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "This ...... Is it really earned by my brother?"

"Of course, you don't want to think about it, is my brother the kind of person who steals things?" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said with a straight face.

"Yes!" Mei'er touched her chin and muttered, "Although my brother is rigid, indifferent, unkind, self-righteous, and wants to save face......"

Jiang Xingchen's head was full of black lines, his teeth were clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead were jumping.

"However, my brother will never steal other people's things!" Mei'er showed surprise at this time, staring at the meat in Jiang Xingchen's hand with her eyes, and asked curiously: "Such a big piece of meat, at least ten citrine coins!

"Eat first, I'll tell you later!" Seeing Mei'er's happy look, Jiang Xingchen's mood also became happy, and with a wave of his big hand, he put the meat on the wooden board, and picked up the kitchen knife to deal with it.

"Brother!" Mei'er stepped over and snatched the kitchen knife from Jiang Xingchen's hand, and said loudly: "Will you get it, I've never cooked, and then I spoil the meat, dodge!"

"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen blinked, and before he could react, he saw Mei'er's eyes shining, and he raised his hand and chopped it down, dividing out more than three catties of meat. Then the little girl's arm waved continuously, and every time she chopped it, the mighty and domineering momentum, and the sound of every knife chopping on the wooden board, made Jiang Xingchen's heart tremble.

"Mei'er, what ......" Seeing that more than three catties of meat were chopped into strange shapes and pieces of meat of different sizes, Jiang Xingchen licked his lips and tried to stop it.

"What?" Mei'er turned, her slender eyebrows furrowed, and the knife in her right hand held in mid-air.

"If you do this, I'm afraid the meat won't be easy to ......" Jiang Xingchen said softly, Mei'er's momentum at this time was really terrifying.

"I'm afraid that I'm not doing well, uncle has been away for three years, and I didn't cook any meal!" said Mei'er, raising the kitchen knife in her hand.

This shijie's kitchen knife is different from the earth, it is a little slender, and it is like a machete in his hand, Jiang Xingchen obviously felt a cold light flashing on the blade, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly took two steps back.

Mei'er smiled proudly, puffed out her mouth at Jiang Xingchen, turned around and continued to chop meat, while swallowing saliva, the smile on her little face was piled up into folds, her eyes narrowed into two caterpillars, she hadn't eaten meat for several years!

Jiang Xingchen didn't dare to step forward on the side, watching Mei'er chop up the meat pieces, then scoop up the water and make a fire!

When the water boiled, Mei'er threw the meat directly into the water, then pinched a handful of salt and threw it in......

Half a month later, Jiang Xingchen served a big bowl in front of him, with meat and soup, and foam on it, and a fishy smell drilled into his nose.

Next to Jiang Xingchen, Mei'er was throwing off her cheeks and feasting, the corners of her mouth were oily, and he felt sick to his stomach. Moreover, while the little girl was eating, she muttered in her mouth: "Woo~ It's so fragrant, it's delicious!"

Three catties of meat, stewed out of two catties, within a few minutes, half of it has entered the little girl's stomach, and even the soup in the bowl has been drunk.

"Mei'er, give it!" Jiang Xingchen pushed his bowl over.

"Brother, why don't you eat it?" Mei'er asked with a frown, wiping the oil from her mouth.

"I ...... Suddenly I'm not hungry again!" Jiang Xingchen smiled.

"Brother!" Mei'er looked straight at Jiang Xingchen, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, she bit her lip, and said softly: "I know that my brother is distressed by Mei'er and wants me to eat more...... But my brother still has to go out to earn money, and he can't go hungry!, so ......"

Mei'er stood up and said loudly, "These meat brothers must be eaten!"

As soon as Mei'er's tone changed, Jiang Xingchen knew that it was not good, this little girl would have convulsions, and on the night she just crossed, she stuffed the black flour cake into her mouth.

Sure enough, before Jiang Xingchen moved, Mei'er had already put her arms around his neck, picked up a piece of meat and sent it to his mouth

Jiang Xingchen didn't dare to struggle, the little girl's hands were full of injuries, and he was afraid that he would hurt her. As a result, he could only open his mouth and bite the hard-to-swallow piece of meat into his mouth.

"Little girl, I don't feel sorry for you, I really don't want to eat it......" Jiang Xingchen wailed silently in his heart.

After eating a bowl of meat, the little girl let go of her hand with satisfaction. At this time, Jiang Xingchen was already disgusted and wanted to vomit.

"Now that it's cold, the rest of the meat won't be bad, let's save a little, at least enough to eat for seven or eight days...... When my brother comes back tomorrow after earning money, I will do it for you!" said the little girl with a grin.

Jiang Xingchen, who had just stood up, tilted his body and almost hit the corner of the table.

"Okay, brother, tell me quickly, how did you earn such a big piece of meat? Ten citrine coins!" Mei'er helped Jiang Xingchen by the hand, and then stared at him, her eyes bright, looking like a curious baby.
