The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 106 - I'm in trouble (3)
Scrape off the outer skin of the pumpkin, clean it, cut it into thick pieces, wash the soaked glutinous rice, put it in a soil bowl, and put the pumpkin on top.Sprinkle some water, then steam in a steamer over high heat.

Wan Xiaoliu sat on the edge of the table and ate melon seeds, waiting leisurely for the dishes to be cooked.

Xiaolan ran back and forth many times.Seeing Wan Xiaoliu cracking sunflower seeds, he felt very anxious, but when he looked at what was steaming in the pot and simmering on the stove, he could only feel anxious after thinking about it.

"Xiaolan, are you young masters hungry?" If Master Liu saw Wan Xiaoliu like that, he would probably go crazy.

"The young master has been playing the piano in the back mountain. He didn't say he was hungry or wanted to eat." It was the first time Xiaolan saw the young master like this, and no one dared to talk to him.

"Hey, your young master is really a fairy." Seeing Xiaolan's appearance, Wan Xiaoliu didn't make things difficult for her anymore. He stood up and saw that the pumpkin was already juiced, so he opened it with chopsticks and got some glutinous rice out to taste. , not bad.

Wan Xiaoliu took out the soil bowl, put the glutinous rice and pumpkin on the plate with two spatulas, and poured some sweet-scented osmanthus honey diluted with water.Let Xiaolan carry it.

"Miss Wan." Xiaohong came.

"Sister Xiaohong, we meet again." Wan Xiaoliu smiled wryly.

"Miss Wan, it's because you are so skilled." Xiao Hong came over and chatted with Xiao Liu affectionately.

"Where. I wonder if sister Xiaohong is up?" Wan Xiaoliu asked.

"Yes, Ma'am is looking for you. Let me take you to her yard. If you don't want to come for a long time, I won't delay you." Xiaohong said.

"Oh, that's it, then, let's go." Wan Xiaoliu saw that the casserole was still simmering, and the soup had to be simmered for a longer time to taste better.

"Okay." Xiaohong led the way ahead, Wan Xiaoliu followed.

It was a different path this time.Wan Xiaoliu is really depressed, how many ways does this rich family have?

When we arrived at Mrs. Liu's yard, there were no flowers and trees, which was very simple compared to the old saying outside.

"Xiao Liu." Mrs. Liu stood up when she saw Wan Xiaoliu coming.

"My Xuan'er is not in good health. I'm too used to raising her. It's really hard for you." Mrs. Liu pulled Wan Xiaoliu to sit down.

"What's the matter Madam, it's my honor that Young Master Liu likes to eat the food I cooked." As he said that, he scolded himself severely in his heart, what kind of bullshit, he obviously didn't want to come.

"Xiao Liu, you are really a sensible child." Mrs. Liu patted her hand and said, "You came today, I still need your help."

"Although Madam said, as long as Xiao Liu can do it, I will do it." Wan Xiaoliu added silently in his heart: There is still enough money, it will definitely work.

"I have something to do with the master. I'm worried that this Xuan'er will be disobedient and won't eat or drink medicine. I would like you to stay here for a few days and help me stabilize him, can you do it?" Mrs. Liu held Wan Xiaoliu hand said.

"This..." Wan Xiaoliu hesitated a bit, and said, "I have nothing to do except make food."

"As long as you pick a trick to make food for Xuan'er, as long as he eats and drinks medicine. To be honest, I went out with the master to seek medical treatment. It will take four or five days at the fastest. Xiao Liu, these few days have been hard Let the accountant pay you twice the wages for the past few days." Madam Liu really couldn't think of any other good way, so she could only give Wan Xiaoliu as much money as possible.

"It's not ma'am, it's not about money, it's about if I can't keep Young Master Liu, he won't take medicine, and you're not here, then I'll be in trouble." Wan Xiaoliu stood up and said.We need to make money, but we also need to make good money.

Mrs. Liu also stood up, and said kindly to Wan Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, I believe in you, you must have a way."

In the end, Wan Xiaoliu returned to the kitchen one by one and the two older ones, praying in his heart that this young master Liu would not suffer from the young master's illness, so that he could live a peaceful life in a few days, so that he could earn a few dozen taels of silver.

In the kitchen, Ah Jiu also came back, and Xiao Lan was also there.

"Miss Wan, the old blacksmith took it, and gave double the money, saying that I can pick it up at this time tomorrow." Ah Jiu said happily.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Wan Xiaoliu thought that with this pot, he should be able to help him for a while.

"Miss Wan, thank you, the young master has finally stopped and is eating pumpkin." Xiaolan said happily.

"Just eat it, let him eat less glutinous rice and pumpkin, and serve him this corn rib soup immediately." Wan Xiaoliu said.

"More Miss Wan." Xiaolan said happily.

"You're welcome, I should." Wan Xiaoliu added salt to it, mixed it up, poured some soup into a bowl, tasted it, poked the pork ribs and corn with chopsticks, and made sure it was ready. He served a bowl of pork ribs and corn soup and asked Xiaolan to bring it back.

This lunch was settled, Wan Xiaoliu sat on the edge of the table with a headache.Ah Jiu fried the leftovers with the leftovers, and everyone ate together.

"Miss Wan, the young master said that you will stay here for a few days, and specially asked us to give you a room. I will take you to rest." Xiaolan came back.

"Then thank you, are you young masters eating?" This is what Wan Xiaoliu is most concerned about.

"I ate a little pumpkin, drank the rib soup, and ate two pieces of corn, but the ribs didn't move." Xiaolan reported truthfully.

"Oh. Good." Wan Xiaoliu was thinking in his heart, what is so good about this young master?
Wan Xiaoliu followed Xiaolan to a separate room not far from the main house. "What was this room used to do?"

"This is the young master's pharmacy. Now that the young master's condition is under control, there is no need for it, so it has been put on hold." Xiaolan replied.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a tangy herbal smell. Although there is no more herbal medicine, the smell still lingers.What Xiaolan said was true.Although the wooden house is a bit shabby compared to the main house, Wan Xiaoliu really likes it very much, it is very unique, and Wan Xiaoliu also likes the neutral decoration in the room.

"Who prepared the things in this room?" Wan Xiaoliu asked.

"This is brought by the steward next to the young master, let us replace it." Xiaolan said.

"Oh." Wan Xiaoliu murmured in his heart, does this manager still care about these things?
"Miss Wan, this is for bathing, I'm afraid you won't be used to it, so everything is new." Xiao Lan was really envious.

"En, well, where do you live?" Wan Xiaoliu asked.

"We live in the courtyard outside." Xiaolan smiled and pointed to the house protruding from the courtyard wall.

"Can't I live with you? Why do you let me live here alone?" Wan Xiaoliu was really afraid of this Young Master Liu.

"You live close to the young master, so you can make whatever you want to eat at any time." Xiaolan thought it was normal.

"Well, that's right." Wan Xiaoliu didn't say anything more.How can you get tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair?Living next to this Young Master Liu, perhaps one can understand what his intentions are.
