Chapter 121

"Miss Xi'er?" Xu Niang had seen Xi'er before, so she naturally remembered, but she couldn't help calling out.

Xi'er nodded with a smile, and then said, "Just say Aunt Xu that Zhu'er was talking about."

Xu Niang nodded, and then said a little restrained, "Yes, why is Miss Xi'er here?"

In the past two days, Chu Zi belonged to those who acted like a clique, and it was spread all over the house, and everyone knew that Miss Xi'er was the person that the young master valued the most.

Xi'er smiled slightly, walked forward, and then said softly, "Come and help, help Aunt Xu."

Xu Niang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, then don't dare, Miss Xi'er, please rest."

"Aunt Xu, I'm idle even if I'm idle, why don't you try my handicraft?" Seeing Xu Niang's performance, Xi'er was obviously afraid of troubling herself.

Zhu'er didn't know Xu Niang's worry, so she hurriedly said, "Aunt Xu, let sister Xi'er cook a dish, maybe the young master will be happier after tasting it?"

This unreasonable matter can be made sense as long as the young master is moved out.

Sure enough, when Xu Niang heard this, she immediately agreed.

"That's fine, I just need to trouble Miss Xi'er." Xu Niang looked at Xi'er, not knowing what to do for a while.

Seeing Xu Niang's restraint, how could Xi'er not understand, so she said, "Aunt Xu, you do your own thing, just give me a pot, don't worry about me."

Xu Niang was taken aback, there are plenty of cooking pots in this kitchen, she immediately said, "That's no problem, you can use these cooking pots as you like."

Stretching out her hand to point at random, big ones, small ones, everything that one expects to find, it can be said that she chose at will.

Xi'er nodded, chose a medium-sized pot, and then smiled, "Just use this, I'll make a baby dish for soup, and then put it on a small stove and cook it slowly."

With that said, Xi'er already had a plan in mind.

The weather is very cold, so naturally this baby dish cannot be prepared according to the conventional method, it can only be eaten while cooking like a hot pot.

In fact, it's not that Xi'er didn't want to try making hot pot, but now the spices are not complete, and I'm afraid that everyone won't be used to it.

Or wait until you have time to spare and study slowly.

Xu Niang obviously said that she had never heard of such a dish name, she couldn't help being stunned, and then asked, "Do you serve baby dishes in soup?"

"Well, baby cabbage is the core of Chinese cabbage." Xi'er thought for a while, there must be no baby cabbage in this place, so he can only settle for the next best thing.

Then Xu Niang nodded and smiled, "Oh, if you want Chinese cabbage, that's no problem! Miss Xi'er wants some cabbages, and I'll ask someone to get them for you."

"Four." Xi'er thought for a while before saying.

Xu Niang nodded, and then ordered Xiao Gong to get the cabbage, Zhu'er stood aside, obviously not understanding.

She has never been in the kitchen. Although she is a maid, she has a good life. She is loved by her parents, but she has not done any rough work.

Xi'er waited for the little worker to arrive with four Chinese cabbages, and then began to work.

Zhu'er stood aside, dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Zhu'er, come pick vegetables and leaves with me!" Xi'er would not let Zhu'er be idle, and greeted directly.

Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, and said reluctantly, "Sister Xi'er, I don't know how to do it."

"If you don't know it, just learn." Xi'er couldn't help but feel ashamed when she heard Zhu'er's words so delicately.

Zhu'er was still reluctant, she looked at her cheeks and said, "Sister Xi'er, I have oiled my hands."

"Then you go hee hee, if you don't work, you won't have food." Xi'er didn't persuade her anymore, she just lowered her head and started busy picking leaves.

Zhu'er has always wanted to try Xi'er's handicraft, but Xi'er said so, why is she not in a hurry.

Immediately rolled up his sleeves and took a basin of warm water to wash his hands.

Seeing Xi'er docile Zhu'er, Xu Niang couldn't help laughing, "Miss Xi'er is the best, our Zhu'er girl hasn't worked in the kitchen yet."

Xi'er smiled lightly, and said, "I know how to order, so I won't starve myself."

"That's true." Xu Niang nodded, agreeing.

Knowing how to do a lot of things by myself will save a lot of trouble. If you learn how to cook, you can fool yourself no matter what, and you won’t be hungry.

Zhu'er washed her hands, then ran to Xi'er and stood beside Xi'er.

Xi'er didn't dislike this stupid student, she patiently taught him little by little, she was really afraid of going to Bianjing, Zhu'er was not with her, what should I do if she couldn't take care of her well.

As soon as Zhu'er learned it, Xi'er praised her enthusiastically. This girl's eagerness to learn was immediately aroused, and she was full of motivation to work.

Xi'er asked Zhu'er to pick the vegetable leaves, while she started to prepare the raw materials.

There was no soup, so of course he had to make it by himself. Watching Xu Niang stew chicken soup, Xi'er asked for a bowl, mixed it with warm water and put it aside.

A frame in the kitchen was full of household things brought by Xi'er, no one touched it, and no one dared to touch it.

She stepped forward and took out a piece of bacon and preserved eggs, which were the best ingredients.

Xu Niang had never seen preserved eggs and salted eggs before, so she couldn't help being curious, "Miss Xi'er, why is the egg wrapped in mud?"

"These are duck eggs, our homemade salted eggs and preserved eggs." Xi'er didn't hide anything, Xu Niang asked, and she told them all.

In fact, this thing sounds easy, but it is not simple to do.

Before Xi'er left, she taught the women at home hand in hand, and she didn't know if she really learned it.

Xu Niang was confused, but she still nodded, "It's really troublesome."

"Fortunately, I brought some. If you like it, Aunt Xu, I'll leave it for you." Xi'er peeled off the preserved egg in her hand, revealing the crystal clear egg white inside, and turned her head and smiled.

Xu Niang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved her hands and smiled, "No, no, no excuses."

"It's okay, Aunt Xu, I'll just bring a few, and you can keep the rest to eat. This thing is already cooked, so you can just cut it open and dip it in vinegar." Xi'er knew that Xu Niang was embarrassed, Otherwise, I wouldn't keep asking myself how to do this thing.

"That's true, thank you Miss Xi'er." Xu Niang, who cooks food, naturally loves food, and naturally wants to try something that she has never eaten before.

But because of face, she refused, but Xi'er seemed to really want to give it away, and Xu Niang was not pretentious, so she naturally agreed.

Only then did Xi'er grin, and said softly, "This salted egg is also delicious, and the egg yolk inside is the most delicious."

As soon as the words fell, Xi'er raised the knife and dropped the round salted duck egg, and Xi'er raised the knife and cut it open, and the egg yolk just flowed out like this.

Both Xu Niang and Zhu'er were stunned, it was the first time they saw such an egg.

In fact, food was scarce in ancient times. Although the working people were intelligent, they obviously had not yet evolved to that point.
