After Jiang Shuyao returned to the mansion, he went straight back to the east wing.
Xie Xunji hung on her, and after reading a book for a while, he strolled down the corridor to look at the candlelight in the east wing.
Once, twice, three times... After watching a lot, I realized that Jiang Shuyao didn't seem to be in the house.
He searched the yard for half a turn, stopped, and walked towards the small kitchen.
There are several lanterns in the kitchen, the light is soft and bright, and Jiang Shuyao is sliding on the desk.
She tied her hair neatly in a bun, her sleeves were tied in a weird way, and with a lot of energy, she repeatedly pounded, kneaded, and stretched the large lump of soft noodles, then pinched the ends of the noodles and beat them constantly.
The quiet kitchen is full of loud "bang bang" sounds.
Xie Xun didn't know what she was doing, so he walked over to her: "This kind of thing can be done by the servants, why do you need to do it yourself."
His voice was soft, and Jiang Shuyao was not frightened. When she saw him, she didn't respond: "I just want to come by myself." This is her habit. .
There was a strand of hair hanging down on his forehead, scratching his face a little itchy, Jiang Shuyao raised his arm, wrinkled his nose and rubbed the itchy spot.
She stretched the noodles again, beat them hard on the chopping board, then folded them in half, and continued to beat them. The force is great, and when she exerts force, it seems that the dough has a grudge against her, and it looks a bit silly.
Xie Xun didn't leave, didn't make a sound, just stood there quietly and watched for a while, the corner of his mouth couldn't help showing a smile.
The two did not talk, one slammed into the face, the other watched from the side.
Jiang Shuyao finally finished, and the sullenness in his heart dissipated a lot. He turned to Xie Xun, his breath was uneven, and he said viciously, "Let's eat it!"
How much hatred
Xie Xun couldn't help laughing, and a little candlelight reflected in his black eyes, "Okay."
Jiang Shuyao clapped the flour on her hands and said proudly, "Let me show you a hand."
She smeared oil on the chopping board, picked up the slipped noodles, held both ends in her hands, stretched her arms hard, and quickly stretched out, then folded them in half, her fingers fluttered, her wrists shook, and she stretched again, and in the blink of an eye, the noodles were right there with her. The hands became a mess of scattered noodles.
Xie Xun looked curious: "Where did you learn this?"
Jiang Shuyao was too lazy to lie, so he blocked him back and said, "Are you going to be a teacher too?"
Xie Xun shut up.
Soup is the soul of Lanzhou Beef Noodles. It is made with cheese bones, fat chicken and beef brought back by Jiang Shuyao as the main ingredients, and is slowly boiled with seasoning and traditional Chinese medicine. The soup base is crystal clear, but the fragrance is completely integrated into the soup middle. Even if you put a variety of meat and fishy bones, it is not smelly or fishy, and the soup is clear and delicious.
When the water boiled, Jiang Shuyao threw it into the ramen, boiled the water for a while, and took it out in time.
Pour a tablespoon of soup with a strong flavor, add boiled radish slices and beef slices, then sprinkle with coriander, chopped green onion, and pour more balsamic vinegar.
Xie Xun volunteered to serve the plate, and the two returned to the east wing to eat.
The soup base is clear, the noodles are white, the green onion is green, and the sliced radish is white.
Xie Xun picked up a large chopstick of noodles and put it in his mouth.
Although the noodles are thin, they are continuous, flexible and pliable. The thick soup is soaked into the thin noodles, and each noodle is delicious and delicious.
The noodle soup has a slight vinegar aroma, which is appetizing and fresh. The noodles wrapped in the soup can be eaten in one bite, and the whole body is comfortable and ironed.
"It's delicious." Xie Xun sighed, loving supper.
Jiang Shuyao said, "Of course."
After Xie Xun sighed, he lowered his head and blew off the chopped green onion and oil slick on his face, and drank a thick and hot soup base, so comfortable that he narrowed his eyes, like a gluttonous cat.
He looks tall and thin, but he is actually a master who can eat.
I don't know where the sea bowl he found has become his special bowl. Compared with his, Jiang Shuyao's small porcelain bowl is completely unattractive.
She still reminded as usual: "Don't eat anymore."
Xie Xun buried his face in the bowl, made an "um" through his nose, and continued to gulp down the noodles.
The mist was on his face, making his cheeks slightly red, and he felt that the nose and mouth were full of delicious taste. He couldn't help but sigh again, how can this clear and watery soup base have such a mellow fragrance.
Nights are always relaxing. He is immersed in food, eating noodles and soup, thinking that it is the most enjoyable to chew noodles.
When Jiang Shuyao finished eating, he also finished eating.
No one wants to move after eating, so I lean back comfortably and slowly wait for the sweat to dissipate.
Xie Xun suddenly thought of something, and reminded: "Tomorrow, you will go to the long princess' mansion for a banquet, don't forget it."
"Well, Bai Zhi has been talking about it."
"Don't miss the time because of cleaning up." The last time I left the house was enough to wait.
"No, I must get up early to get dressed."
Jiang Shuyao's mood was much more relaxed, and there was no gloomy expression on her face.
Seeing the opportunity, Xie Xun asked, "What happened to Uncle Mansion in Xiangyang?"
His topic changed suddenly, Jiang Shuyao wondered why he mentioned this, but he didn't reject it, shook his head and said, "No, it's my mother, I always feel that she is condensed and unhappy, as if she has lost hope and fighting spirit. I'm bored."
She was willing to chat with him, Xie Xun was a little happy, and wanted to help her solve problems, and said, "What does your mother like to do on weekdays?"
Jiang Shuyao thought for a while: "Love... earn money?" She recalled the time when she first arrived, and said in detail, "I usually find trouble with a concubine, settle accounts, do business, and hope that I will marry soon—"
Speaking of this, she shut her mouth awkwardly, after all, her marriage with Xie Xun was definitely not pleasant.
Xie Xun didn't notice it, and chuckled when he heard the words: "Then let her find her motivation again." The problems that troubled her were not as difficult as she imagined, Xie Xun breathed a sigh of relief, "Your mother loves business, so let her do business. The Lin family The businesses that are involved in the business now are the top ones in the industry, so change to another industry.”
"For example?" Jiang Shuyao's eyes lit up, and his mind was different.
Xie Xun stood up slightly, with a vigorous smile on his face, and Yourongyan: "For example, restaurants, restaurants, you can't waste all your cooking skills in Xie Guogong's mansion."
"Snapped!"
Jiang Shuyao stood up, swept the bowl to the ground at the corner of his sleeve, ran quickly beside Xie Xun with his skirt in hand, and sat down: "Tell me in detail."
She got so close, her eyes were full of gorgeous expressions, and she looked at him stubbornly, making Xie Xun inexplicably shy and holding back the smile on her face.
"The Lin family has now reached the pinnacle in the original line of work, and there is no point in going further, but it will be different if you switch to another line of work. Everything starts from scratch, the road ahead is unknown, and it is new and novel. Presumably, the mother-in-law who loves business will be interested in this."
Jiang Shuyao patted the ground with both hands, and said excitedly: "It makes sense! But how does the Lin family stand out in the restaurant?"
Seeing that she was so excited, Xie Xun couldn't help laughing again, his eyes were handsome and warm: "It depends on you. But I have a suggestion. The Lin family is rich, so I think they don't have much hope for making money. Then change to another hope, such as making money while doing things that are beneficial to the people.”
"This... it sounds so difficult." Jiang Shuyao didn't expect Xie Xun to give her such a great and noble task.
Xie Xun said: "It's not a way to save the common people, don't frown. It's not difficult to say, for example, your Lin family's boating, leading the navigation, sweeping away bandits, making it easy for the people to travel, and convenient for trade, this is not beneficial to the people. Is it? That's what Emperor Taizu meant when he supported the Lin family."
Emperor Taizu, the infrastructure emperor who also traveled through fellow villagers.
Thinking of him, Jiang Shuyao couldn't help but sigh that others came to do infrastructure construction, and she came to eat and drink. It's just that Taizu went up to the social system, down to clothing, housing and transportation, but he didn't develop "food", and let the caravan go out to sea to find seeds, and he just looked for corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are prolific and satiating food for infrastructure construction, even a pepper. Don't look for it.
She nodded: "Okay! I will propose it to my mother."
Xie Xun continued to advise her: "Restaurants are often only accessible to rich and noble people, and they pay attention to meticulousness, and ordinary people will not step in. Why don't you think about cheap and delicious food, and open a restaurant to sell to ordinary people, what do you think?"
Not to mention Lin Shi, even Jiang Shuyao was motivated. She excitedly patted the ground again, but it wasn't enough, and patted Xie Xun on the shoulder again: "Xie Boyuan, you are so amazing! You wake up the dreamer with one word."
Xie Xun was still shy at first, but when she saw how excited she was, she felt helpless and amused, and let her pat his shoulder vigorously: "I'm just making up my mind, how do you and your mother-in-law have more? Let's discuss."
"Yeah!" Jiang Shuyao nodded, and slowly retracted her hand with a depressed face: "Why are your arms so hard, don't you gain weight after eating so much?" Her face has become a lot rounder recently.
Xie Xun was stunned when she heard the words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She really didn't know what strange things were thinking in her mind every day.
"I-"
He was about to speak when Jiang Shuyao suddenly reached out to his abdomen.
boom-
Xie Xun's mind was blank and sluggish.
The soft hands were attached to his abdomen, and through the layers of fabric, it seemed that she could still feel the softness of her palms.
Xie Xun's whole body was as stiff as a stone, and he forgot to even dodge.
Jiang Shuyao took it back with just a touch, and then touched his abdomen: "Why do you still have abdominal muscles? It's really unfair. I feel like my stomach is about to get fat—hey, Xie Boyuan, what are you running for?"
Xie Xun stood up abruptly, stumbled and ran out, his face flushed, and he was extremely embarrassed.
The servants only felt a gust of wind entering the study and slammed the door with a bang.
The heat on Xie Xun's face did not dissipate for a long time, and his heart was so hot that white steam was about to rise from his head.
He paced back and forth around the house, but he couldn't get rid of the heat.
The candlelight was so bright that it seemed to put all his shyness on his face.
He hurried over to blow out the candlelight, and when it was dark in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand and touched his face, feeling the heat of his hand, and knocked his head against the corner of the wall again and again in embarrassment.
Jiang Shi is really... Really... Really helpless against her. ,,
