"Old man! Let's get some more wild pheasant eggs!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
This time he wanted wild pheasant eggs not just for eating. In addition to pigs, horses, messenger birds, speed eagles, and a sheep-like sheep beast in the empire, there were basically no animals domesticated by humans. I heard that the Orc Alliance
There are many domesticated beasts, but after all, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer, and it is difficult to even eat an egg! So he just suddenly thought of whether he could artificially hatch wild pheasant eggs and then raise them in captivity!
Of course, this is just an idea. He understands that it is not easy to hatch successfully. He only knows to maintain a certain temperature. But he has to try it anyway. If he does it, he may not succeed. If he doesn't do it, he will definitely not succeed.
will succeed.
"Go!" The old man waved his hand and curled his lips and said: "You think that thing is so easy to find! The pheasant's nest is very secretive. I was also lucky the first two times! Now the snow is getting thicker and thicker, and I can't find it anymore!
"
Jiang Xingchen ignored how difficult it was to tell the old man, and said with a smile: "As long as you come here, I will cook you a good meal!"
The old man's eyes lit up, he rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Big cake and scrambled eggs? I'll know how to do it after just one look. You don't need to make it!"
"Who told you it was fried eggs with flatbread?"
"What is that?" The old man's eyes brightened.
"You can come and talk to me, there's no point telling you now!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand.
"It's not impossible for me to find it, but in addition to making a good meal, you also need to get some of the wine used during Xin'er's surgery!" The old man pursed his lips.
"Forget it if you don't want to go! You can go have dinner with Han Xiaowu and the others later!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingchen turned around, pulled Mei'er and left.
"Hey! Don't leave!" When the old man saw that Jiang Xingchen had no intention of bargaining, he quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "Boy! Look at this cold weather, it's still snowing, I'm so old
Already..."
"I'm sorry! Old guy, can you be any thicker-skinned? A great master in the realm of vitality actually pretends to be pitiful and says he's old... Look at what you're wearing, we're all wearing leather trousers and cotton trousers.
Yes, you are still wearing single clothes..."
Jiang Xingchen looked at the old man speechlessly, as if he couldn't stand you.
Looking at Jiang Xingchen's expression, the old man knew that his tactic of pretending to be pitiful had failed. With a straight face, he said, "Go ahead, but if you can't make something delicious when you come back, I won't be done with you!"
"Hehe, I guarantee your satisfaction!" Jiang Xingchen said and walked out!
Chopping meat, stuffing stuffing, kneading noodles, making dumplings... Jiang Xingchen and Meier were busy working together, while the old man watched from the side. He had been with Jiang Xingchen for more than 20 days, but he had never eaten dumplings before.
He thought Jiang Xingchen was making soup dumplings again.
However, later he realized that he was wrong when he saw that Jiang Xingchen didn't make the meat jelly and that Meier's rolled skins were smaller than the buns.
Jiang Xingchen, on the other hand, was full of praise for Mei'er and nodded with a smile. This girl learns things so fast. In just a short time, she has almost caught up with her in making dumpling wrappers, making them round and fast!
A month later, the crystal-white dumplings came out of the pan. The old man pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't wait to reach out.
"Wait a minute, old man!" Mei'er hurriedly protected the dumplings and said, "Send them to sister Xin'er first!"
"Then girl, shouldn't you try to eat as little meat as possible? This is meat!" The old man said, his eyes never leaving the dumplings.
"It's been more than ten days and she's ready to eat! She lost a lot of blood during the surgery and needs to supplement her nutrition!" Jiang Xingchen explained and asked Mei'er to send the dumplings to Xin'er.
Not long after, the second pot of dumplings came out of the pot and as soon as they were placed on the table, the old man who was not in a hurry took action. With his chopsticks like the wind, he picked up one and threw it into his mouth.
"Wow~ Not bad, not much worse than soup dumplings!" The old man commented while inhaling and chewing.
After eating seven or eight in a row, the old man saw two bowls placed in front of Mei'er and Jiang Xingchen. They poured vinegar into them and then ate them with dumplings.
"Uh!" The old man blinked. Seeing the playful smiles of Jiang Xingchen and Mei'er, he felt like a country bumpkin...
"Squeak!" At this time, the kitchen door opened, and Nier's little head stuck in: "Sir, Sister Meier, and the old man are eating..."
"Little girl, we're here to eat and drink again!" Before Jiang Xingchen could ask a question, the old man said with a smile.
Ever since this little girl had eaten the food cooked by Jiang Xingchen, she had been running here as soon as it was time to eat. Her grandmother told Shi Wazi several times but refused to listen. One time Shi Wazi almost slapped her, but Jiang Xingchen still
Protect.
Ni'er pouted her little mouth and whispered with a red face: "I..."
"Puch!" Meier burst out laughing when she saw Nier being told what he meant by the old man but not wanting to admit it.
Jiang Xingchen also laughed. This little girl's cute look made people like her, so he raised his hand and said, "Come here quickly!"
"Hey!" When the little girl saw Jiang Xingchen's words, she immediately rolled her eyes. She immediately threw away her previous embarrassment and ran directly to the table.
"It smells so good!" Nier pursed her lips, swallowed her saliva, and asked, "Master Jiang, what are you eating? Nier hasn't eaten yet!"
"These are dumplings! Sit down quickly and eat with us..."
"Thank you Lord Jiang!" The corners of Ni'er's mouth turned up, and her eyes narrowed into slits!
"Nier, come here, sit down here with sister!" Meier patted her side.
"Okay!" The little girl climbed to Mei'er's side.
The old man looked at Jiang Xingchen, who was taking care of Nier with a smile, and thought to himself: "Although this boy was promoted from a commoner, he has always been a nobleman. Why doesn't he have any airs that a nobleman should have... Even a commoner girl dares to
Those big guys from the Tian mercenary group who came here to eat, if it weren’t for Du Rushan’s control, they would definitely have come here long ago, and they would never eat the food cooked by the villagers..."
If ordinary people are like this, although they can maintain a normal mind and avoid the bad habits that many nobles have, they will also make their subordinates lose awe because they are too easy-going. But the old man knows that Jiang Xingchen will not be like this, no matter if it is Tang Chuxue's
The evaluation is based on his observations these days. Jiang Xingchen is very strong in his heart, not like his appearance. If he decides something, no one can pull him back. This can be seen from the fact that neither Qingyun nor Huangshi can get distilled liquor.
One or two.
"I'm afraid this kid won't be able to come out in decades..." The old man sighed again, stopped thinking about this, and stretched out his chopsticks...
A total of more than one hundred and sixty dumplings were made, and in the end there were less than forty left. Jiang Xingchen looked at the old man and Nier who were leaning on the chairs with their stomachs bulging and being too lazy to move, and sighed in his heart: "Sure enough,
Foodies do not distinguish between age, gender, national boundaries, and..."
Picking up the remaining dumplings on a plate, Jiang Xingchen said: "Old man, why don't you take a trip and send Ni'er back, give these dumplings to Grandma Yun, and let Tiedan'er have a taste too!"
"Thank you Lord Jiang!" Nier smiled so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth.
Not long after, at Grandma Yun's house, Shi Wazi and Grandma Yun were eating dumplings and exclaimed that they had never tasted such delicious food in their lives.
Ni'er looked at Tiedan who was grabbing and chewing the dumplings and kept muttering: "Brother, you've already eaten six, and there are only a few left for me..."
The heavy snow continues and the temperature continues to drop, but the house with the heated kang is very warm.
In the lord's mansion, Meier was holding a rag doll and pestering Jiang Xingchen to draw Crayon Shin-chan for her again. But this time Jiang Xingchen said nothing and stopped drawing.
Of course Mei'er didn't want to, and kept mumbling in his ears like she was talking nonsense, and she didn't stop for two months.
In the end, Jiang Xingchen's head was getting bigger, and there was a constant buzzing in his ears. He had to use the Great Shifting Technique to divert the little girl's attention: "Obey! You go to bed quickly, and I will give you a new one tomorrow morning."
game!"
Sure enough, the little girl was successfully attracted by the new game, stopped nagging, and went to sleep with the doll in her arms...
The next morning, Jiang Xingchen found a large piece of wood and started working with a knife.
"Brother! What kind of game are you playing this time?" Meier asked curiously as she watched.
"This is called chess!" Jiang Xingchen said, and began to smile proudly in his heart: "Little girl, this depends on how you beat me. I was the champion of the department back then..."
Soon after, the chess game was completed, and Jiang Xingchen began to give Meier the rules: the horse moves the sun, the bishop moves the field, the cannon hits every other player, the rook moves swiftly...
Mei'er showed great interest. After listening to the rules, she immediately started to fight.
I have never played chess before, so how can I play with this old man like Guo Jiang Xingchen? In less than a dozen moves from the beginning, Meier was killed like a melon and a vegetable.
However, the little girl was not unhappy at all and continued to start! This time, she took a longer time to think about it, and she had to think about each step for a while.
Keep losing, come again! Lose again, come again... Mei'er becomes more and more addicted, and she doesn't even know that Xin'er has entered the house.
Jiang Xingchen was extremely happy. Although playing chess with bad chess players was not fun, he was very happy to regain the shame of losing five pieces in a row.
I have to say that chess is really addictive. Even Xin'er, who was watching from the sidelines, became addicted after understanding the rules. The three of them didn't even notice that it was past lunch time.
When the old man came back from outside, he was originally depressed because he couldn't find the snow pheasant eggs. But after standing next to them and watching them for a while, he became more involved and miraculously didn't shout about eating.
Finally, Jiang Xingchen got hungry and realized that it was already afternoon.
"Okay! Let's wait until we finish eating!" Jiang Xingchen stood up.
"You go get the food first, and Mei'er and I will have two plates!" As soon as Jiang Xingchen got up, the old man took advantage of the situation.
Meier raised her head and looked at her brother, then at the old man playing chess opposite, with a secret smile on her lips. The little girl just lost consecutively. Although she didn't show anything, it didn't mean that she was happy in her heart! Now she finally felt happy.
Something is delivered to your door...
"Hey! Old man, please wish yourself well!" Based on Jiang Xingchen's understanding of Meier, the old man is going to be in trouble.
