Before getting married, Jiang Shuyao had already understood the situation of Xie Guogong's mansion, and Xie Xun told her again on the way.

Xie Xun was the third oldest. The first two brothers were both direct sons. They were older, and their children were about the same age as Jiang Shuyao. Behind him is a younger brother and a younger sister, who is only one year younger than him.

The two stepped into the room, the maid opened the curtain, and everyone turned their heads to look at it.

Jiang Shuyao was a little nervous, and followed Xie Xun to greet her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The old lady was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. After the engagement, she sent someone to inquire about Jiang Shuyao, and the words that came back were worse than the others. In terms of character and family background, Jiang Shuyao was not worthy of Xie Xun.

Seeing that her etiquette can't be faulted, the old lady's expression is a little better.

Jiang Shuyao respectfully offered tea to the second old man according to the etiquette he had learned, but the old lady had no intention of reaching out to receive it.

Xie Guogong has always been a kind-hearted person. He took care of himself and took the tea, so the old lady couldn't make things difficult for Jiang Shuyao.

The first level was easy, and the following greetings were much easier. Jiang Shuyao received the red envelopes one by one, and then distributed the gifts prepared earlier to the juniors.

There were many children in the second room, and the older ones were about the same age as Jiang Shuyao. When she called her "Aunt San" with a blushing face, she had the illusion that she would go home for the New Year and take advantage of her peers because of her seniority.

She pursed her lips and snickered, and the smile made her already bright appearance more lively and energetic.

Xie Pei on the side felt extremely dazzling when he saw this scene.

She is the young daughter of Xie Guogong's mansion, and she has been a figure of the stars and the moon since she was a child. The three direct brothers above are more capable than the other, especially the third brother. How many noble girls came to flatter her in order to inquire about his news. I didn't expect the third brother to marry Jiang Shuyao in the end. Thinking that she would call Jiang Shuyao the third sister-in-law in the future, she felt that she had lost all her face.

When it was Xie Pei's turn, she took the gift and handed it to the maid, and said thank you in a perfunctory manner, making it clear that she wanted to give Jiang Shuyao a face.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Jiang Shuyao was already prepared to be made difficult, but he didn't expect the elders to pass the border, but the little girl couldn't pass.

Her smile didn't change, as if she didn't notice Xie Pei's troubles: "No thanks, it's just as long as the little sister likes it."

Xie Pei was choked, she hadn't even opened the box, how could she like it? Jiang Shuyao is indeed a cheeky one.

She angrily snatched the box from the maid's hand, opened it and glanced lightly, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law San really has a heart, but this set is too luxurious, I always like more elegant and pure jewelry, I'm afraid I won't need it anymore. ."

Jiang Shuyao has always been ridiculed for being cheesy in appearance, and her dress is not on the table. These words are mixed with the meaning of targeting.

Jiang Shuyao, who was targeted, was neither painful nor itchy. When he was about to answer, Xie Xun spoke first: "You are still young, and there will be opportunities to use it in the future."

Although he didn't like Jiang Shuyao, he didn't want to bully her, and he didn't want to give birth to right and wrong today.

After he finished speaking, he led Jiang Shuyao past Xie Pei, stunned Xie Pei.

Everyone present did not expect Xie Xun to speak for Jiang Shuyao. After all, his attitude was very clear on the wedding night yesterday.

Jiang Shuyao secretly glanced at Xie Pei, and found that the little girl's eyes were red with grievances.

Xie Xun, the pig teammate.

It was obvious that she could be fooled, but she had to help her provoke hatred, and even provoke a glass-hearted aunt.

After the tea was served, the crowd dispersed one after another. Jiang Shuyao didn't even think about getting in front of her mother-in-law to make fun of her. Seeing that Xie Xun was leaving, she quickly followed him.

The marriage has not been on duty for the past few days. Xie Xun didn't want to stay in the mansion to face Jiang Shuyao, so he planned to invite a friend to go horse racing outside the city.

After walking for a while, Xie Xun found that Jiang Shuyao had followed him all the way, and felt a little guilty for no reason.

He stopped and cleared his throat: "I'm going out of the house to find some friends." After speaking, he realized that he was explaining this to his daughter-in-law, and he felt even more uncomfortable.

Jiang Shuyao didn't understand why he suddenly reported the itinerary to herself, she nodded suspiciously: "Oh."

Xie Xun stepped forward again, but Jiang Shuyao was still with him.

He couldn't help but said, "Why are you following me?"

Jiang Shuyao was at a loss: "I didn't follow you." She tilted her head and thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "I went to the big kitchen and happened to be on the way with you."

Xie Xun didn't expect that he was being self-motivated just now, and his ears quickly flushed red.

Jiang Shuyao took a big step back silently when he saw that he did not speak with his eyes lowered: "How about you go first?"

Xie Xun was thinking of saying something to make up for it. Jiang Shuyao said this, he always felt that she was mocking him for being self-motivated just now, and now his ears were flushed with shame.

He looked up at Jiang Shuyao, who blinked innocently, and reached out his hand to make a "please" gesture.

Xie Xun choked for a moment, and gritted his teeth secretly in embarrassment.

He was born beautiful, his black eyes were bright when he was embarrassed, and his immortal-like appearance was stained with a bit of anger.

Jiang Shuyao didn't realize what she was doing wrong. Seeing Xie Xun looking at her, she continued, "Or should I go first? Just turn the corner and you'll reach the big kitchen."

"No need!" Xie Xun turned around neatly, and flew away with his long legs, as if there was a fire behind him.

Jiang Shuyao looked at his back and sighed silently: It is better for young people to be more lively, and their high-spirited appearance is really eye-catching.

After sighing, she led the maids towards the big kitchen.

She got up late in the morning and didn't have breakfast, and now she was so hungry that her chest was on her back.

When the servants in the big kitchen saw Jiang Shuyao coming, they saluted in a panic.

Jiang Shuyao waved his hand and entered the kitchen directly.

Large families pay attention to careful cooking, and the amount is small, and people usually deal with leftovers, so Jiang Shuyao strolled around the kitchen and only saw the soup simmered for the masters.

"Third madam, what are you..." Seeing her looking around, Mammy Changshi asked anxiously.

"It's okay, I'm just looking for something to eat."

"What would you like to use?"

Mammy bowed respectfully and nodded and followed Jiang Shuyao. Jiang Shuyao was not used to it, and said, "Go and do your own thing first. I'll just get something to eat."

Yesterday, Xie Xun slept in the study, and all the servants in the house knew that they couldn't help but despise Jiang Shuyao, the third lady. When she said this, Mammy stopped following her, and left the kitchen after salute.

Jiang Shuyao didn't have breakfast, and the four maids were also hungry. Everyone was so hungry that she chose two quick dishes to cook.

When she rolled up her sleeves and started to dry, she realized that none of the five people in the kitchen could start a fire, so she asked someone to go outside and called a fire girl to come in.

The little girl is not tall and thin, so she can work quickly.

After the fire started, Jiang Shuyao put the big pot on the rack and boiled water to prepare noodles.

She found carrots, greens and green onions, diced them neatly for later use.

The maids were taken aback by the knife skills she revealed, and they winked at each other to remember when the young lady would cook.

At this time, the water boiled, and Jiang Shuyao threw the mustard noodles into the big iron pot.

She took a large bowl and cracked eggs, added chopped vegetables and chopped green onion, sprinkled salt and starch, and stirred well. Let the fire girl start another stove, burn a small fire, and put the oil in the pan.

After the oil is hot, pour in a quarter of the egg mixture, stir into a smooth egg shape, roll up the egg skin when the egg is not completely solidified, press with a spatula to set the shape, wait until the inside is stuffy and pour in another quarter One egg wash.

Repeat this several times. After the last egg liquid is poured into the pot, the noodles are already cooked.

Jiang Shuyao asked the maid to pick up the noodles and put them in cold water, then cut the prepared thick egg into pieces and divided them into five portions.

"Come and taste." She beckoned to the maids.

The maids were stunned. They didn't expect that Jiang Shuyao, who has always been difficult to serve, would cook and eat for their servants. After several thoughts in their minds, they all agreed that this was Jiang Shuyao's interest and wanted to cook. It fell on them.

Bai Shao was the most stable of the four. Seeing that the other three did not dare to step forward, she stood up by herself.

Isn't it just unpalatable, at most it is undercooked, is it possible that it is still poisonous

She comforted herself in her heart and took the plate that Jiang Shuyao handed her.

Getting closer, the rich egg fragrance penetrated into the nose, Bai Shao couldn't help swallowing.

She picked up a thick boiled egg. The egg was golden on the outside and soft on the inside.

Bai Shao took a bite under everyone's anticipation or sympathy. The thick egg that just came out of the pot was a little hot. When biting, the delicious juice inside burst into the mouth, the smooth egg was soft and tender, and the rich egg fragrance was mixed. With the fragrance of diced vegetables, the taste is rich, and the taste buds are alive.

"How is it?" Jiang Shuyao asked. The heat of this kind of earthen stove was not easy to control, and she was a little uneasy when she was cooking for the first time.

"Yeah!" Bai Shao nodded uncertainly and swallowed the thick egg burnt in his mouth, "It's delicious, delicious, you can try it."

The rest of the three maids groaned in their hearts. They used to see Bai Shao calm and steady, but they didn't expect to be flattering because they had a lot of skill, and they wanted to pull the three of them into the water.

They picked up their plates, held their breath and took a bite of the omelette, and then they were slapped in the face.

They were already hungry, and their expectations were low. Naturally, they felt that the thick egg roast was extremely delicious.

The taste is rich but not greasy, and the taste is fresh, which is more pleasant than the porridge and side dishes that I used to eat in the past.

Jiang Shuyao tasted a piece by herself, and it tasted better than she thought.

She ate two pads, then went back to the stove, prepared the sauce with soy sauce and white sugar, chopped green onions, and minced garlic. Heat oil in a hot pan, put in the shallots and minced garlic.

"Shuh", the strong onion fragrance overflowed. Compared with the mellow egg fragrance just now, the scallion oil tasted a lot more overbearing.

When the scallions are slightly charred, pour in the prepared sauce and simmer for about a minute, and the scallion oil is ready.

Pour the scallion oil onto the noodles that have been drained with cold water, mix well, and the simple scallion oil noodles are ready.

A few people had just eaten the thick egg burnt to pad their stomachs, and when they smelled the scallion oil, the worms were hooked up again.

One end of the scallion oil noodles came up, and before Jiang Shuyao greeted them, the four of them ate their bowls.

The entrance is the strong aroma of scallion oil, and the sauce is fresher, which better sets off the richness of the scallion fragrance.

Everyone ignores etiquette, relying on the long table to solve the food in a big mouth.

Jiang Shuyao saw the burning fire girl standing beside her, looking eagerly, and also served her a bowl. She shied away twice, unable to resist the temptation of the food, took the bowl and plate and started to devour it.

Thick egg roast and scallion oil noodles are not really top delicacies, but one is fresh and the other is heavy, and the tastes are well matched. Jiang Shuyao, who was forced by Mrs. Xiangyang to eat a vegetarian and fat-reduced meal with clear soup for more than a month, finally passed it. mouth addiction. ,,
