In fact, there are still some porridge and steamed buns in the kitchen, but the owner of the village cannot eat the same breakfast as ordinary people. Besides, we learned from the servant that there are friends of the owner who are going back together this time. Not to be neglected.
The people who went out to buy haven’t come back. Although there are live chickens and ducks in the house, it takes time to slaughter, and it’s too common to use them to entertain guests. Therefore, Jiang Rui thought about it and planned to make a delicious and tender eel silk. Noodles are the main food, and are supplemented by other snacks.
The eel in the tank at the back was caught by Wu Er a few days ago to play. The eel came out of the hole in the spring, and it was relatively thin. Fortunately, after raising it these days, it grew some flesh and looked quite plump.
Smash the eel, clean the contents of the belly, remove the bones, cut into shredded eel, blanch the eel with cooking wine, onion and ginger, pick it up and put it in the oil pan, add ginger, cooking wine and soy sauce to sauté until fragrant, and simmer for a while After cooking, add it to the stock stock prepared in the kitchen, add shredded bamboo shoots, shredded shiitake mushrooms, and shredded cabbage, bring to a boil, and finally thicken with sesame oil, sprinkle with a little pepper to taste, and pour it over the cooked noodles.
Jiang Rui's movements were proficient, and many people attacked, and the whole process was completed in less than a quarter of an hour.
With two bowls of hot eel noodles, together with the shredded chicken porridge, mountain buns, and a few dishes of side dishes, I put two food boxes and let the boy take them away.
The people in the kitchen all wiped away their sweat, and Liu Liu grimaced at the back of the servant, "It's really annoying, I will keep urging, which time the owner comes back, didn't he wash and change his clothes first? There is still plenty of time, he But I wish we could conjure up a table of dishes immediately, we are not gods."
Sitting at the table, Sister-in-law Zhang took a breath and said, "It's not easy for him either. If you go early, you may not be rewarded. If you go too late, you have to scold someone before you go, so you can only come to urge us. Fortunately, Sanniang is here today, otherwise all of us would be scolded. I have to be scolded, maybe even a monthly fine."
"Yes," Liu Liu turned to look at Jiang Rui with a look of admiration, "the third sister was so amazing just now, the spoon dance seemed to fly, it looked better than those guards in the house practicing the exercises."
Jiang Rui smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were hungry? Now you're finally free, so let's eat quickly. After a while, Mama Li will come back and work again."
Liu Liu was right. The servant brought the food box to the main courtyard. The village owner had not finished changing his clothes. Fortunately, there was a charcoal fire in the food box, which could keep the food warm.
Even so, the eldest maid in the main courtyard was still dissatisfied: "Why did you send it now?"
"One by one, they are getting more and more slack."
The little servant had to apologize with a smile.
Ningxiang and Yunxiang took a food box and put it on the table in the side hall. When they heard the voice of the owner and the guests from a distance, they quickly brought out the breakfast and retired.
This is the rule of the mansion. Although they are big maids, the owner of the villa usually does not want anyone to wait on him. Some cleaning and cleaning tasks can only be done by the owner of the villa.
Their status is higher than the other servants in the mansion, and they are usually quite arrogant, but in front of the villa master, they do not dare to be arrogant at all, and those who are bold have become a lesson for the past.
I heard two people talking from far and near, but there was only one footstep. I didn't know what to say. The younger voice suddenly burst out laughing. At the same time, the visitor opened the curtain of the side hall.
The one who entered first was a tall and slender young man. He looked handsome and acted freely. With a sword on his back, he was dressed like a young hero.
After he walked in, he didn't take a seat right away, but took a step to the side, raised the curtain high, and said, "Your habit is really weird, there are people waiting for you, but you don't put it in the room, I think you are Deliberately want me to be a doorman for you."
"Brother Lao Liuxian." Another voice said, only slightly lower and magnetic, and then saw someone walk in. To be precise, he was sitting in a wheelchair and slipped in silently.
This person is Ling Yuan, the owner of Mingshan Villa. He looks handsome, has a warm expression, and has a refined bearing, but if you want to guess his specific age, it is hard to tell.
The rise of Ming Shanzhuang on the rivers and lakes is only a matter of the past ten years. No one knows where its owner came from or what background he has. It is only known that he built the now famous Ming Shanzhuang overnight, which is even more unbelievable. The thing is, the owner of the village is actually a bad person.
In the early years, it wasn't that no one deceived him because of his inconvenience. Those who came to fight the autumn wind, under the persuasion of the owner of the village, abandoned the evil and followed the good, and became the doorman of the village.
In the past few years, Ming Shan Zhuang has been praised for every righteous deed in the rivers and lakes. The owner of the villa, Ling Yuan, has also become a famous chivalrous man on the right path.
Ling Yuan went out this time, apparently to congratulate the 60th birthday of the leader of the Wu Lin League Liu, but in fact it was to discuss the plan of crusade against the demon sect with the colleagues of Zhengdao.
And this Liu Xingfeng, Liu Shaoxia, is the old son of the Liu alliance leader, who has some friendship with Ling Yuansu and is a frequent visitor to Mingshan Villa.
When Ling Yuan entered the door, Liu Xingfeng put down the door curtain, took a deep breath, and praised: "It's so fragrant, what delicious food did Li Ma make? I said Brother Ling Ling, are you really not going to give up your love? Or Li Ma can borrow my younger brother for a few months."
Ling Yuan said with a warm smile: "Ma Li is a living person, not a sword or a gun. She can borrow it if she wants to. Besides, her husband and children are all in the local area, how can she easily leave you and go back to Liu Mansion?"
"Oh, why is there no cook in my family who can compare to Li Ma?" Liu Xingfeng shook his head and sighed.
In fact, Liu Xingfeng's huge mansion may not be able to find a better cooking skill than Li Ma. It's just that Liu Xingfeng is used to eating since he was a child, so he doesn't feel good. , he's tired again
Ling Yuan knew this very well and smiled without saying a word.
The two of them were seated, Liu Xingfeng couldn't wait to raise his chopsticks, "Hmm... this is an eel? It looks dark, but it tastes good, smooth and fragrant, plump and plump. Ma Li didn't disappoint me." He moved quickly. , a few times into a small half bowl of noodles, it is rare that it never gives people the feeling of gobbling up.
Ling Yuan drank half a bowl of porridge first, then picked up an eel silk, took a bite, raised his brows, put down his chopsticks again, and pulled the rattle by the table.
Immediately someone entered the room to answer, it was the servant who went to the kitchen to pick up the food box just now.
"Mama Li isn't in the kitchen?" Ling Yuan asked him.
The servant said quickly, "Mama Li thought that the owner of the village didn't arrive at the house until noon, and went to the street with Manager Caimai Sun."
Liu Xingfeng swallowed the face in his mouth and wondered, "Then who made breakfast today?"
"Back to Liu Shaoxia's words, it was made by Qin Sanniang, the cook, who said she was Li Ma's apprentice."
"Qin Sanniang?" Liu Xingfeng rubbed his chin and thought, "Why haven't I heard of this person?"
The young servant boldly said to please: "There are so many people in the house, how can everyone be lucky enough to let Liu Shaoxia hear about it?"
"I can talk, I like it." Liu Xingfeng nodded at him with a smile, and threw two golden melon seeds over.
The little servant caught it in a hurry and thanked him again and again. No wonder people always hear that Liu Shaoxia is good-natured and generous, and when I see him today, it really is. He got the benefit, and when he saw that the owner of the village had no other orders, he retired.
Ling Yuan raised his chopsticks to eat the noodles again, his movements unhurried and slow.
No matter if he is hungry, full of wine, or full of food, no matter if he is facing rough tea, or delicacies from mountains and seas, Liu Xingfeng has never seen him lose the slightest bit of manners at the dinner table. There is a slight deviation. Whenever he sees this scene, he can't help but think, if Brother Ling can walk, I am afraid that every step must be the same length.
"Brother Ling, how do you know that the noodles are not made by Li Ma?"
Ling Yuan asked him back: "Can Liu Xiandi taste the difference between the food in Liu Mansion and the one in our village?"
Liu Xingfeng tilted his head and thought, and understood what he meant. If one person eats the food made by another person for more than ten years, and then eats the food made by others, it will naturally be different.
Soon, his mind turned to another place, and he said with a smile: "Mama Li, I can't borrow it, she's an apprentice, should Brother Ling borrow me?"
Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "You changed your mind so quickly?"
"It won't work if you don't change it, and you won't let go. And today's bowl of noodles is better than what Li Ma made. I have decided not to borrow Li Ma, as long as Brother Ling lends her apprentice to me."
Ling Yuan opened his mouth to speak, but Liu Xingfeng suddenly interrupted him: "Wait, don't answer first, if you refuse me, wouldn't there be no room for manoeuvre? How about this, Brother Ling always said that Li Ma is not a weapon, I can't borrow it at will, then again, it's up to the two of us to have the final say, I'll find Li Ma's apprentice myself, if I can get her to agree to go with me, Brother Ling can't refuse, how about it?"
Ling Yuan asked with a smile, "But is it really worth the effort by Brother Liu Xian for the appetite?"
"Hey, you don't understand. I think Brother Ling, you are young, but sometimes your thoughts are as old-fashioned as my father. All day long, you just want to punish the evil and get rid of the evil, and put the righteousness right, but this kind of thing can't be done overnight. In a short life, you always have to find some interesting adjustments. If you only focus on this, wouldn’t it be a lot less fun to be a person? Anyway, I told my father a long time ago, don’t expect me to be a big hero, hero Sir, I can only take care of this mouth and this stomach."
Ling Yuan smiled after listening to him, and then said, "If that's the case, then follow what Brother Liu Xian said."
"Really?" Liu Xingfeng's eyes lit up, "I have persuaded people at that time, you must not go back and regret."
"A gentleman's word."
"It's hard to chase a horse!" Liu Xingfeng said these words, and left the remaining half of his face and ran out, "I'll go to the kitchen first to meet her!"
Ling Yuan was still sitting on the spot and slowly finished the noodles in the bowl.
The author has something to say:
Liu Xingfeng: Come with me, Miss!
Jiang Rui: Okay.
Old Eight: [Smile draws the knife]
Liu Xingfeng: I, I will ask! QAQ
