Chapter Twenty-Four: A Bowl of Noodles

Mama Yao said, "Miss wants to eat Zhenzi noodles? Then I'll do it for you at noon. ”

"No," Xue Jinyi refused very simply, "I'll make it for you." ”

Caiyun's desire to eat the noodles vanished suddenly.

Before his wife was sick, Xue Jinyi went to the stove to cook porridge in order to please his wife, but the porridge paste was not said in the pot, and the stove was almost burned out.

She suddenly remembered that she was sleeping in the stove now, and she remembered in a hurry, but after drinking the medicine, the sweat on her forehead was even more, her whole body was soft and had no strength at all, and her hands and feet were getting more and more sore.

Oops, it can't be that she was provoked, there is really something wrong with that bowl of medicine, right?!

She is now like a fish on a chopping board, motionless, and can only listen to Xue Jinyi and Mama Yao continue to speak.

Mama Yao had the same worries and persuaded, "Miss, let's come with me." ”

"Mama," Xue Jinyi smiled, her hoarse voice revealing gentleness, "just let me come." I'm sure I've eaten a bowl of it, and I want to eat another bowl! ”

Caiyun wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that he would be burned to death before he could take a bite.

Mama Yao couldn't resist Miss's coquettishness, so she had to agree, "Then I have a good day to be able to eat the food made by Miss." ”

Delicacies? Caiyun sneered in his heart again, the poison is almost the same!

Xue Jinyi straightened the broken hair on her ears, "It's pouring rain today, Mama go and get back the vegetable basket hanging in the well first." ”

In ancient times, there was no refrigerator, so she had to put some of the vegetables and meat she bought yesterday into the vegetable basket and hang them into the well, relying on the shade in the well to ensure that the vegetables and meat would not rot.

"Okay, I'll go." Mama Yao held up a certain broken oil-paper umbrella and went to the yard to get a vegetable basket.

Xue Jinyi took down a vegetable basket from the bamboo rack, in addition to vegetables and meat, they also bought flour and various seasonings, although it was a dynasty that did not exist in history that she knew, but there were quite a variety of vegetables and spices here.

The food that Mama Yao begged from the kitchen was basically not enough to fill her stomach, and sometimes it was about to spoil, and she would be unbearable both physically and mentally in the long run, so she used the money for clothes to buy vegetables and make some affordable and satisfying food.

It was still early, Xue Jinyi went to the west wing room to read a book for a while, but fortunately she had already tidied up, and there was no rain leakage in several rooms.

Near noon, Mama Yao asked for a piece of tofu from the kitchen, tofu is very cheap, and sometimes the masters don't like to eat this tasteless thing, so it's easy to come.

Xue Jinyi had already rolled up her sleeves and kneaded the dough neatly with both hands.

Mama Yao didn't care about being curious about when Miss learned to knead dough, and brought back a powerful news, "I heard from the people in the kitchen that there is terrible news going on outside today. ”

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Xue Jinyi asked without raising her head.

"Uh......" Mama Yao touched her nose, "It's related to the King of Chu," she didn't sell Guan Zi, and said directly: "It is said that Miss Dong was killed by the King of Chu." ”

Xue Jinyi smiled, "Isn't it rumored that he killed Miss Dong?" ”

Mama Yao waved her hand, and then made a knife cutting motion on her neck, "I don't mean to kill, but to kill." ”

Xue Jinyi's movements on his hand were slightly sluggish, although the King of Chu looked like a gloomy and terrifying big crow, but judging from a few contacts, it was hard to imagine that he would be a person who would move his hands on a weak woman.

Mama Yao felt that she was interested in this matter, and continued: "Didn't you meet King Chu in the medical hall yesterday? Do you know what he bought? Some people inquired that it was a mandala, and this thing would make people behave abnormally. Miss Dong must have eaten this, so she drowned in her own pond inexplicably! ”

"Doesn't this confirm the rumors of his wife, the king of Chu is so stupid?" Xue Jinyi shook her head, she had heard that the hallucinogenic mandala flower was said to be an important medicinal material in the "Ma Boiling Powder" created by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, "It is a good choice for the King of Chu to marry the Marquis of Hucheng, why kill Miss Dong?" ”

Mama Yao hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "It is said that the king of Chu does not like women and likes men...... He couldn't quit this family business, so he had to kill people, so that no one would dare to marry his daughter to him. ”

Xue Jinyi laughed, such a guess is too ridiculous, right?

But...... Why did she unconsciously think about the King of Chu for the better?

She rolled her eyes and looked at the beams of the house, maybe it was a life-saving grace that should be repaid by the spring.

Mama Yao suddenly remembered something and became excited, "Miss, maybe as soon as this incident comes out, Madame's side will have to dispel her thoughts, no matter what, Grandpa Guo will not tolerate his daughter marrying a murderer." ”

Xue Jinyi put the kneaded dough into the wooden basin, covered the pot, and said with a serious face: "No matter what rumors the King of Chu has, we can't relax until the King of Chu is officially married." ”

Mama Yao nodded seriously, and then watched the young lady wash and chop vegetables and fry egg skins.

There are all kinds of pots and pans in this broken courtyard stove, I don't know who lived in the past, and I don't know why it fell to this point, and no one has ever cleaned it up. Now they have cleaned it up and used it, saving money to buy new ones.

Gradually, her eyes opened as big as brass bells, and from the back of the young lady, she thought she was the cook at home.

"Miss, ......" she watched Xue Jinyi pour the thin egg skin on the plate, "When will you do this?!" ”

Xue Jinyi prevaricated: "Suddenly enlightened." ”

If she didn't want to be an actress, she would definitely choose to be a chef, cooking has been one of her interests since she was a child, and she once fantasized about changing her tricks every day to cook food for her beloved husband...... Now it seems that you should fill your stomach first!

"Uh......" Mama Yao didn't know how to ask, since Miss Da came back from the palace, many changes can really only be explained by enlightenment.

Xue Jinyi then fried the tofu and made the pork dumplings.

Mama Yao found that she couldn't help at all, because the young lady was too neat to do things, the pork belly with three points of fat and seven points of weight was cut into small dices, put them in the pot and stir-fried, after the diced meat changed color, from time to time put in minced ginger and various spices, and when the nine were ripe, sprinkle in a handful of chili noodles, and finally pour in water and simmer for a while.

The smell of meat spread silently in the small stove room, and Mama Yao swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It can be said that this is the most fragrant meat smell she has ever smelled in her life, and Miss Ming Ming didn't add special seasonings, why is it so fragrant?

"Goo-", someone's stomach sang the empty city plan, Mama Yao followed the sound, saw the colorful clouds that came to her eyes, and smiled: "What, you want to eat too?" ”

Seeing that he had been discovered, Caiyun turned his head with a cold snort, "Who wants to eat ......"

Xue Jinyi heard a little choked up at the end of her voice, smiled, and put out the almost boiled meat dumplings, left some gravy in the pot, put in the side dishes and stir-fried, and then added water to make soup.

When the dish was cooked, she took out the dough and cut it to cook.

When the noodles are cooked, put them in a bowl with cold water, then pour over the boiled vegetable broth, shredded eggs and pork dumplings, sprinkle with a handful of chopped garlic sprouts, and make it in one go.

"Taste it, Mama." Xue Jinyi said.

Mama Yao couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and was about to take a bite, but she heard someone disappoint, "Mama Yao, be careful of being poisoned." ”
