Chapter 139 I think you are fooling me, but I have no evidence
Mrs. Zhao came all the way to see that the houses in Wangjiacun were relatively shabby, and the Lujia's house was simple. She thought that from now on she would just have simple meals, but she didn't expect that the first meal would be so good!
Looking at the responses of several masters, they were all very calm, which shows that such good food is not just an occasional thing.
She felt that she couldn't understand the Lu family again.
The next day, He Yunxi got up and when he was about to cook, he found that someone was already in the kitchen.
She was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had bought a mother-in-law at home.
Mrs. Zhao saw He Yunxi coming in and said, "Madam, you're up. I've boiled some hot water. Madam, please wash up first?"
"There is no need to heat hot water in the future. There is always hot water in the stoves outside the two kangs." He Yunxi said, "I was too tired last night. I went to bed after eating and didn't tell you."
She took Mrs. Zhao out to see the two stoves under the eaves, both of which contained a large pot of hot water.
"This water will be boiled first at night, and it will be warm in the middle of the night. If you want to drink water in the middle of the night, you can come here directly to scoop up water and drink it." He Yunxi said.
Mrs. Zhao was very curious about the kang: "This way, water will be more convenient."
"yes."
After returning to the kitchen, Mrs. Zhao asked: "Madam, you don't know what to make for breakfast?"
"Can you cook?"
"When I was a maid, I used to stay in the kitchen. Later, when I became the housekeeper, my wife would ask me to cook whatever she wanted to eat. However, I couldn't cook such a delicious meal last night.
"
It means that her cooking skills are still good.
He Yunxi thought this was a bit of a surprise, but he didn't expect that he would also buy one that could cook.
"The seasonings and cooking methods are just different from ordinary cooking." He Yunxi said, "Since you can cook, you can knead the dough first, then make the steamed dumplings, and then cook some preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Let's have porridge in the morning.
Eat steamed buns."
"Preserved egg? What kind of egg is that?"
He Yunxi pulled out a few wrapped preserved eggs from the ashes under the stove. Mrs. Zhao was very curious when she saw the eggs wrapped in plant ashes.
"This is made of duck eggs." He Yunxi said, "You will know when you knock it out."
Mrs. Zhao looked at the dusty egg and said, "Madam, let the slave come."
"I'll show you the first time, and you can do it next time."
He Yunxi quickly knocked off the plant ash on several preserved eggs, and then peeled the shells open, revealing eggs solidified with frost flowers inside.
Mrs. Zhao saw that the egg inside was black and said, "Madam, the color of this egg... is it bad?"
"No. It's just this color." Seeing Mrs. Zhao like this, He Yunxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we've eaten it several times, it'll be fine."
Seeing that He Yunxi said so firmly, she said nothing and kneaded the dough according to He Yunxi's request.
He Yunxi taught her how to make dough, how to chop stuffing, how to make steamed dumplings, and how to make preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the morning. Even though it was just one portion of steamed buns and one portion of porridge, it was very different from the steamed buns and porridge she had made before.
After eating the xiaolongbao and preserved egg and lean meat porridge, she realized that her cooking skills, which she had been proud of before, were really bad.
"Mother Zhao, do your best, and I will teach you how to cook at home in the future."
When Mrs. Zhao heard what He Yunxi said, her eyes lit up with joy.
What He Yunxi said means that he will teach her how to cook in the future!
She usually doesn't have any hobbies, she just likes to cook some food. Now that she knows that she can learn from He Yunxi, she once again feels that she is so lucky to be willing to follow them.
After dinner, He Yunxi went around the workshop and looked at the moldy tofu that was molding. When he came back, he went to bring out some glutinous rice.
Mrs. Zhao had just washed the clothes everyone had changed out of the previous two days. When she saw He Yunxi holding the glutinous rice, she immediately went over to help.
"What are you going to do with the glutinous rice, madam?"
"Make some mash."
"What is mash?"
"It's just rice wine."
"Ma'am, do you know the recipe?"
"Yes." He Yunxi nodded, "Go and clean these glutinous rice."
"Yes, ma'am."
He Yunxi saw that Mrs. Zhao had just washed her clothes and then washed the glutinous rice. He felt guilty for a moment, but he quickly forgot about it.
She really doesn’t want to touch cold water in the middle of winter!
Moreover, the purpose of buying someone back is to share the burden with yourself.
Mrs. Zhao thought it was nothing. The well water was still warm, and it was not too cold to wash clothes and glutinous rice.
The washed glutinous rice needed to be steamed, so He Yunxi and Mrs. Zhao steamed it using two stoves under the eaves. They replaced the charcoal blocks that were about to burn, replaced them with the wood they had chopped before, and steamed the glutinous rice in the pot.
Both rooms are warm again.
While steaming glutinous rice, Liang Jinxi walked in.
"That Luo Fu got into a fight with her uncle yesterday."
"A fight started?"
"She came home after burying her father and found that her father's belongings had been thrown into the yard and burned. She started fighting with her uncle and aunt," Liang Jinxi said.
"Is she hurt?"
"A little bit. But her uncle and aunt were also beaten quite badly."
He Yunxi knew that Luo Fu had not suffered any loss, so he was no longer worried and asked: "With her uncle's family's temperament, isn't it easy to let this matter go?"
"Her uncle said he was going to report it to the official, and she said she would go, just in time to let the county magistrate check what happened to the house deed. Even white bullies have been caught, which shows that the county magistrate is the great master of Qingtian, he is fair and strict, and he will definitely do it.
Let's get to the bottom of it. When her uncle and the others heard this, they stopped talking about reporting her to the police and told her to pack her things and get out early this morning. She is on her way here now."
"Yeah." He Yunxi opened the pot lid to look at the glutinous rice. White smoke floated up, and the aroma of the glutinous rice came out.
Seeing that she didn't care about Luo Fu's fight, Liang Jinxi didn't say much. Smelling the smell of glutinous rice and thinking that now was not the time to eat, she asked, "What are you doing again?"
"Make some mash."
"What is mash?"
"Oh, it's rice wine." He Yunxi glanced at him and said with a smile: "When it's ready, we can make fermented glutinous rice poached eggs and fermented fermented glutinous rice balls!"
Liang Jinxi looked at her bright eyes and the happiness on her face and said, "Sister, do you like cooking very much?"
"That's right. Food is the most important thing for people. It would be great to be able to make all kinds of delicious food!" He Yunxi said.
"What about medical skills?"
"I also like medical skills. Food can help people survive, and medical skills can help people survive when they are sick. They are essentially the same."
"What about the others? Don't you have anything else you want to do?" Liang Jinxi asked.
"Well, people want to do different things at every stage. I like to cook food now, and this is what I want to do at the moment. As for other things I want to do, maybe they will happen in the next quarter of an hour.
"
Liang Jinxi: "..." I feel like you are deceiving me, but your expression is so serious that I have no evidence.
He Yunxi made rice wine, and Luo Fu appeared injured at the door of Lu's house.
