Chapter 484

If you want to say that the fourth master is in Daxing, the location of the Zhuangzi, it is still good, not only there is a small earth mountain about three stories high, but also a meandering stream, the round and smooth pebbles polished by the stream, you can see everywhere, one by one from the stone crevices out of the small grass, is facing the spring breeze, swaying.

Erff stood by the stream with her arms outstretched, closed her eyes as if she were embracing nature, listened to the rustle of the wind in her ears, breathed in the fragrance of the earth, and could not help but forget all her troubles.

Xiao Qi, who ran over with a round circle, pulled the corner of Erfu's clothes, pointed to the stream flowing not far away, and shouted in surprise as if he had found something interesting: "Eniang, look there......"

Erfu followed the direction of Xiao Qi's finger and looked up, the shadows of the trees were reflected on the water, swaying with the waves, like a good ink painting, "Just walk along the stream, don't go into the water." After speaking, he beckoned Gu Zheng to take care of the guards in front of him, and then pulled Cao Shi to the side of the mountain on the other side of the willow forest.

Xiao Qi responded happily, and without waiting for Erfu to go far, he had already pulled Yuanyuan, who was still stunned, and ran towards the upper reaches of the stream.

Listening to the movement behind her, Erfu looked back, couldn't help but smile and shook her head, as if sighing, and muttered as if complaining, "This kid is really crazy." ”

"Judging from the concubine, our girls from all over the world should be like this. Cao Shi couldn't hear the doting in Erfu's words, and said with a smile.

"I'm spoiling her too. I'm really worried that this crazy girl won't be able to marry in the future!" But there is no parent who doesn't like others to praise their children, and Erfu said it half-truthfully, and forget it. smiled and looked at Cao Shi and Xiaowen who were following her with their skirts, and said softly, "Let's rest here for a while, I look at this place is good." ”

"Well, Fang Fujin is right.

It is close to the water source, backed by the mountains and forests, and listens to the gentle breeze. I won't feel the sun is dazzling, but I still have to block the two screens, so as not to be bumped into you and the little masters by those rough people. Cao stood on a piece of bluestone. Glancing around slightly, he replied softly.

Erf looked at the small gray dirt mountain in front of her, and had no idea of climbing.

It's just that she thinks that she and Cao's are with the children, and the little ones may not be able to let go. That's when I came to this side about the picnic. So seeing that the Cao family also agreed with the location she chose, she didn't hesitate much, so she ordered: "Xiaowen, you let the guards prepare first, and when the children are tired of running, just eat some snacks to pad their stomachs!" Thinking that after finishing the preparations earlier, she could also sit down and rest for a while.

Although this trip has been sitting in a carriage. But the bumps in the carriage were still very tiring. Especially a pampered mansion girl like her, after a few steps around, she already felt a little out of breath.

Xiaowen had a great eye to put the cushion he was holding on a flat big bluestone, carefully helped Erfu to sit down, and smiled and asked Cao's to talk to Erfu, and then ran to the carriage parked in Zhuangzi, and beckoned the carriage that was pulling the screens, felt blankets and other things needed for travel, and rushed to this vicinity, supporting the guards, and began to prepare the picnic place.

A carpet the size of a house was soon spread out on a flat land, with low tables, low stools and other furniture, lacquered screens erected on all sides, only one side facing the woods and the water flow was empty, and only a few light gauze curtains were hung to cover it.

Looking at the clearing, which had changed in the blink of an eye, Erf shook her head again.

The picnic should be close to nature, the more casual, the better, if she wants her to say that it would be good to spread a tablecloth for a picnic and sit on the ground, but even if she has asked Xiaowen and them not to pay too much attention to pomp, they are still helpless by the picnic venue in front of them, which is like a temporary house.

As the furniture was placed, the guards took out the incense burner, candlesticks and other things from the carriage as if by magic, and finally Xiaowen took out the food box prepared in the carriage.

It's just this food box, how does Erfu look at it, how does it feel?

Erfu had a whim to come out, and only let a few small dishes and snacks prepared by Xiaoshengzi barely fill a three-layer food box, and at this time, Xiaowen's food box was full of six layers, not counting, or two, not counting the food bought by Xiaoman and Baguio from the small street shop wrapped in oiled paper in their hands.

Seeing that the three one-meter-square low tables were filled, Xiao Wen stopped, "Master, this side is ready, you and Cao Fujin come over to rest first." ”

"Yes. Erfu nodded helplessly, took Xiaowen's wrist, stood up, moved to the picnic venue that was temporarily fought, chose a random place and sat on the side, and said to Cao Shi with a smile, "I originally wanted to go out for a walk casually, and simply eat some snacks and fruits, but I don't think these girls still prepared such a lot of things, I'm afraid that I will live up to the lunch prepared by the eldest grandmother." ”

"I'm afraid I'm thinking too much.

The guards who came with him also wanted to eat, and after a while, let Xiaowen and Xiaoman girls take these foods down and divide them, and they will be gone, I'm afraid it won't be enough!" The Cao family has long known that Guerjia Fujin in the Fourth Master's Mansion is a rather diligent and thrifty person, and when he heard Erfu's somewhat helpless tone, he understood, and smiled and pointed to the loyal guards next to him, and put forward a very reliable idea.

Hearing this, Erfu smiled and nodded, and even praised Cao's thoughtfulness, and then felt that Cao's was still too restrained and restrained, so he deliberately made an angry look, twisted his eyebrows, pouted, and said in a low voice: "Cao's, didn't I say it before, let's go out today, don't pay attention to those false courtesies, you don't want to take a bite and a side Fujin, just hand over a handkerchief and go out for a walk......"

Seeing this, Cao Shi blessed his body slightly, and explained with a glance: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, although I am outside the mansion." But this rule can't be messed up. ”

Seeing that the Cao family insisted on calling her Fang Fujin, although Erfu felt a little awkward, he looked at the serious expression on Cao's face. So she followed Cao's meaning, not that she was easy to talk to, but Erfu didn't know what to call her Cao.

If the Cao family is asked to call her Erfu, then the Cao family will definitely not agree.

And if the Cao family called her Guerjia, she felt even more awkward.

It seems that there is only the title of side Fujin, relatively speaking. It's relatively ear-catching, or Orf is more used to listening.

The two of them sat on either side of the low table, facing the earthy breeze. Listening to the frolicking voices of Xiao Qi not far away, drinking fragrant hot tea, eating sweet preserves, and talking about some gossip. For example, what good goods came to the newly opened silk village in Nancheng. There are more topics like gouache in the newly opened rouge shop in Beicheng, but it is easy to pass the time, and it will not be cold.

In the meantime, Erfu also asked Xiaowen to take out the gilded leaves she brought, and played with the Cao family for a while, and soon it was noon.

"You go over to the big mama and have a look, and ask the big mama to prepare some home-cooked side dishes, if only there were corn pot stickers and small fish sauce that she said earlier. Erph leaned slightly sideways. He threw the cards in his hand into the middle of the table, clapped his hands, and said.

In the era of Erfu's childhood. This corn potsticker and small fish sauce are authentic Northeast dishes, and they are also the taste in the depths of her memory.

On weekdays, it is basically impossible for her to eat in the house.

Seeing the yellow clay stove of the eldest grandmother today, Erfu remembered the taste again, and couldn't help but drool a little out of the menu.

After listening to this, Xiaowen didn't dare to delay, so he stuffed the incense burner with smoked mosquitoes in his hand into Xiaoman's arms and hurriedly ran to the eldest grandmother's house, and also bought a net of small fish from a farmer's house with a fish pond on the way, so as not to have it at the eldest grandmother's house.

The eldest grandmother has always known that Erfu likes to eat home-cooked food, and she doesn't pay much attention to pomp and circumstance, but looking at the small fish with a net of fingers handed over by Xiaowen, she still asked twice in disbelief, and only then did she make sure that the menu ordered by Erfu was no different from what she understood.

"Why does the master want to eat this!" the eldest grandmother sat on the edge of the well with a wry smile, washing small fish, while talking to Xiaowen, who helped wash the vegetables.

When Xiaowen heard this, he also responded with a wry smile, "I don't know either."

The master and Master Fu Nai's Fujin Cao clan chatted very well, and it was not until the beginning of noon that he suddenly said such a sentence, don't say that you always feel sudden, but I suddenly heard it, and I was stunned for a while!

It's also a shame that I met a farmer who happened to come out on the way, otherwise I really don't know where to find such a small fish, and there is really no such thing in the ingredients we came out with us. ”

"If you want to say this small fish sauce and corn potstickers, I still ate them when I was in my hometown, and I haven't eaten them for more than ten years, and I have to help my mother make them a few times at that time, otherwise I will really disappoint my master.

Fresh small fish washed and cleaned so without oil in the pot, fried out some dry place is the best, but not paste, then add water, under the farmhouse sauce stew, stew to the bottom of a pot rotten, salty and fresh.

The corn pot sticker is close to the edge of the pot, and it is baked in a circle, which is sweet and glutinous when it comes out of the pot, and the golden pot is round below, which is crunchy and crunchy, and it tastes very chewy, and if it is accompanied by fresh wild vegetables, the taste is even better. Looking at Xiaowen who was stunned when she looked at the basin containing the little fish, the eldest grandmother opened the conversation box and explained patiently.

"Is it really delicious? Such a small fish has meat, and it's not easy to pick the thorns?" Xiaowen asked in disbelief.

"Hey, where do you need to spit out the thorns, this fish meat is stewed, and the fish bones are all stewed, even if there are scattered small thorns in it, it can't be eaten, or just eat that mouthful!" The big mama pouted her lips while changing the water for the little fish, rolled her eyes with a face full of "you don't understand that deliciousness", and explained in a low voice.

And just when the eldest grandmother and Xiaowen were washing vegetables and fish around the edge of the well, in the kitchen of the eldest grandmother, there was such a man who was shrunk into a ball, squatting in front of the stove, really depressed!

This person is not an outsider, it is the exclusive chef of Erfuxi Courtyard - Xiaoshengzi.

Erfu and his party said that they were out for a trip and a picnic, but the little boy who was in charge of the preparation did not dare to be ambiguous, not only hurriedly prepared a few side dishes and snacks for Erfu, but also carried all kinds of ingredients such as meat, eggs, vegetables and other ingredients in the small kitchen into the carriage, and also packed himself and brought it over.

If it weren't for Erfu's whimsical idea to eat at the eldest grandmother's place, the little shengzi would have already set up a fire by the river, so when he came to the eldest grandmother's side with a smile, the little shengzi who had nothing to do and was stunned by the river volunteered to come over to help, full of the little shengzi who would become the chef, but the little shengzi never dreamed that Erfu would raise such a problem, and it was so sudden that he didn't even have a little defense.

Listening to the name of the dish, I don't know how to do it, that's called a depressed.

Especially after Xiao Shengzi saw the teasing smile on the face of the eldest grandmother, he was even more depressed, and he couldn't wait to get into the stove and refine himself, he was not depressed and couldn't show his face in front of Erfu, but he was depressed that he was the exclusive chef of Erfu, and he didn't even know the preferences of his own master, and he didn't even know how to do the dishes ordered by Erfu, and he couldn't fail more.

Although this kind of thing is not the first time, it has never appeared since he served in the west courtyard for more than three months, and after a few years, there has been such a sense of frustration and powerlessness again, which makes Xiaoshengzi very uncomfortable.

Hui'er, who was left in the kitchen to prepare the ingredients, looked at the little shengzi who wanted to cry without tears and had a complicated expression, took two steps back with a frightened face, whispered hello, pointed to the ginger shreds on the cutting board like hair, and asked in a low voice: "Can you see this ginger shredded cut like this?"

"Well, that's it, chop everything with that garlic. Xiao Shengzi, who was immersed in frustration, glanced back, pointed to a few heads of garlic that had been peeled off on the side, muttered weakly, and stared at the stove again in a daze.

Hui'er secretly said "weird" in her heart, and continued to bow her head and cut garlic.

Speaking of which, this time not only is Xiaoshengzi useless, even the ingredients he brought, it seems that there is no use, the small ingredients such as onions, ginger and garlic are all prepared in the kitchen of the big grandmother, some fresh vegetables, which are also bought by Hui'er from nearby farmers, and a few lines of bacon that are steaming on the stove, which are dried and smoked by the big grandmother herself, compared to the bacon in the small kitchen that I don't know where to buy it, the color is not a little bit better, and the mood of the whole person is even lower.

"Let's see if you're going to add some firewood. ”

Hui'er looked at the flames in the stove that were gradually extinguishing, and couldn't help but greet Xiaoshengzi again, and secretly wondered in her heart: Is this person really a cook, why can't he even do a little thing like watching the fire, and he is not as good as her half-grown child!

The little boy who was interrupted from his thoughts was still a little displeased, but when he saw the pitiful little flame in the stove, the whole person was a little panicked, and he hurriedly grabbed firewood, but he didn't want to catch the axe that was put aside, and before he could react, there was a trace of blood in his hand.

"Oh, really!

Are you really a cook?" Hui'er, who dropped the kitchen knife, didn't care if it was rude, she pressed Xiao Shengzi's hand, and while lowering her head to stuff two pieces of wood that had been chopped into the stove, she grabbed him and entered the east room.
