Jiang Shuyao asked Xie Xun in confusion, "What do you want to say?"

Xie Xun said with a bad face, "Don't take what Miss Ge said just now. I think she is deliberately trying to provoke the relationship between you and me."

Jiang Shuyao was startled: "How is it possible? She just told me not to care about the rumors and not to aggrieve myself. Besides, what do you and I have to provoke?"

Hearing her say this, Xie Xun restrained his expression, and there was some grievance on his face: "It's me who worried too much."

Jiang Shuyao's eyes became strange when he looked at him: "Although Miss Ge doesn't seem easy to get in touch with, she's actually a very nice person, and she wants to be friends with me by writing letters."

Although she was happy to be able to make friends with Xie Xun, she was still a little unhappy to hear her say that. He hummed inwardly, turned his face to one side, and muttered in a low voice: "It looks like an ice cube, what's so good, I wish I could freeze everyone around me."

Jiang Shuyao: …

"Would you like to borrow my vanity mirror to take a look at you now." He also said that other people's ice cubes, the two of them are no different when it comes to cold faces, okay

Xie Xun turned his face back with a "swoosh", and pursed his lips in anger: "You... you... hum!"

Jiang Shuyao didn't understand what kind of wind he was smoking, so he stopped looking at him, and turned to lift the curtain of the car to look at the scenery outside.

The carriage was driving smoothly on the avenue, but it started to bump when it turned into the trail. Jiang Shuyao was a little dizzy because of the shaking, so he lowered the curtain and leaned against the wall of the car.

Xie Xun has been peeking at her and asked, "Drinking tea?"

His voice sounded a little vague, and Jiang Shuyao realized later that he might be drunk.

Those fruit wines didn't drink to a high degree, but she drank too much and drank so violently that she couldn't hold back her stamina.

She took out the low table and spread it out, lying on it, and replied, "No drink, I'll sleep for a while."

Hearing the sound, Xie Xun looked at her, and found that her complexion was flushed red, her eyes were dyed with a faint drunkenness, and she wondered: "Are you drunk?"

Jiang Shuyao ignored him, closed his eyes and fell asleep, frowning uncomfortably.

Xie Xun said, "I'll ask the maid to come in and take care of you." He was about to lift the curtain and ask the driver to stop when he heard a sob behind him.

He turned around in surprise, and saw Jiang Shuyao's brows furrowed, her face darkened, and her eyes filled with tears.

Xie Xun was startled, and quickly sat next to her and helped her up: "What's wrong?" Thinking of what Ge Qingshu said just now, he felt a jerk in his heart, "Who made you angry? Why did you feel wronged and didn't follow me? Talk, go find someone you just met to complain." At the critical moment, he still did not forget to kick Ge Qingshu away.

Jiang Shuyao's mind was dizzy, and she didn't know what she was crying, but it was very uncomfortable. It took a long time to find the reason for her crying: "I'm worried about my mother."

Xie Xun's heart softened suddenly, and he supported her against his arm: "Don't be afraid, mother-in-law will definitely get better."

Jiang Shuyao shook his head: "It's not that, I just think she's so pitiful, she clearly has a lot of wealth, she should be a carefree and pampered eldest young lady, but she is jealous and intriguing in the backyard, and her temper has been sharpened, and she has become the current fighting spirit. Nothingness."

It was the first time Xie Xun heard Jiang Shuyao say such a thing. He sighed and wiped away her tears: "This is your mother's own choice. Everything is fate. At least she still has you, which can be considered comfort."

"I know." She leaned on Xie Xun's shoulder and wept. "If she didn't fall in love with my father, why would she marry and suffer? How did she end up like this when she fell in love with her? Why did she lose her?"

Xie Xun didn't know how to comfort her, he could only wipe her tears.

Jiang Shuyao was suffocated in her heart, and started to go crazy with alcohol, not knowing what she was thinking or saying, sobbing and scolding men for being heartless.

Xie Xun listened silently, seeing that she was crying, her makeup was dizzy, her tears and snot, she still racked her brains to persuade a few words: "It's not like this, look at my brother and sister-in-law, two years. Married for so many years, still loving as usual, big brother treats her the same."

He helped her to straighten her hair bun and sighed: "After all, empathy is not enough love."

This sentence somehow persuaded Jiang Shuyao, she held back her tears, leaned against Xie Xun and lowered her eyes in a daze, just when Xie Xun had exhausted her drink, she suddenly asked, "What about me? "

Xie Xun didn't understand what she meant and looked down at her.

Jiang Shuyao raised her head slightly, wet tears hanging on Crow's black eyelashes, confused, sad, and pitiful.

"What about me? Will there be people who will please me and love me forever and ever?"

Xie Xun said with a light smile, and put the Huadian that she rubbed off right: "Yes."

Jiang Shuyao began to cry again: "Who would like someone like me who can eat a whole chicken by himself?"

Xie Xun was stunned, and quickly replied, "Butcher shop owner?"

Jiang Shuyao's sobbing choked, her eyes met Xie Xun's, and the carriage fell into a strange silence.

"Woo woo woo-" Immediately, the sound of crying resounded through the carriage.

Xie Pei sat in the back compartment and was stunned to hear the cry. No way, what happened to Jiang Shuyao, the third brother actually made her cry

She silently made a note for Xie Xun in her heart, although she didn't like Jiang Shuyao, but scolding a woman is not a gentleman.

Xie Xun carried the black cauldron, You didn't know it, Jiang Shuyao fell asleep from exhaustion after howling for a few times, leaning on Xie Xun's body, tears and snot rubbed against him, ruining the fine satin.

After the carriage arrived at Xie Guogong's mansion, Jiang Shuyao woke up leisurely and went back to the room with the help of the maids. After the maids waited on her to wash and wash her face, she fell onto the bed and fell into a drowsy sleep. She didn't wake up until the next day.

When I woke up this time, I completely forgot that I had a drunken madness yesterday, and even more that I destroyed a piece of Xie Xun's clothes.

It just so happened that the flat-bottomed iron pan that she had been beaten was delivered to the house, and after waking up, she had no appetite and just wanted to eat some snacks, so she planned to make the cold baked noodles that she had been thinking about for a long time.

The cold noodle skin of baked cold noodles is very particular. The flour should be buckwheat and wheat flour, plus starch, salt and alkali, mix well, knead it with cold water to make a relatively hard dough, wake up for half an hour and roll out the dough. Boil the noodles in hot water, drain and dry in cold water.

Start making the ham while the dough is drying. The chopped minced chicken from the big kitchen comes in handy, seasoning is added, and finally glutinous rice and starch are added and mixed well. Take the minced meat and squeeze it into long strips through the oiled paper, put it into the cellar and bake, and the ham sausage with full meat is ready.

The sauce is prepared with self-fermented sweet noodle sauce, soybean sauce and garlic sauce. It is salty, sweet and spicy, and the sauce is fragrant.

After the dough is slightly dry, pour oil on the iron pan, put the skin on, and make a sound of "thorn", and the water is steaming.

Knock on an egg, spread the egg liquid with a spatula, the egg liquid gradually solidifies from a transparent state, and then brush with a thick layer of sauce.

Baked cold noodles are the most taboo when the dough is dried out, so in the middle of the process, water should be continuously sprinkled under the dough. After the dough and eggs are all cooked, add the ham and sausages. Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onion and parsley, wrap it into a roll, cut it open and put it on a plate.

The cold noodles are white and yellow in the middle. After being cut, the egg cake with white and yellow mixed inside and the dark pink ham sausage are exposed. The green onion and coriander are sandwiched in between, which is rich in color.

In particular, the layer of brown-red sauce with sesame sticking on the cold noodles has a rich color and green coriander sticks in some places, which looks very delicious.

The essence of baked cold noodles lies in the cold noodles, which are chewy, chewy and tough. And during the frying process, water is continuously sprinkled, so that the roasting will not be too hard, but rather soggy.

The freshly baked cold noodle sauce has a strong aroma, the sauce is salty, the spiciness of the garlic sauce is combined with the salty and sweetness of the sweet noodle sauce, and in one bite, the aroma of sauce, egg and meat is strong.

Jiang Shuyao didn't care about being hot, so he madly stuffed a few mouthfuls of roasted cold noodles into his stomach, feeling that his craving was relieved.

As expected of the grilled cold noodles she was thinking of, the resident contestant of the snack street, this delicious taste made all the preparations worthwhile.

She quickly finished a plate, baked another slice, and stopped after eating.

When it was lunch time, I didn't want to eat anymore, so I baked two more cold noodles, but it was still not enough, so I planned to continue eating at night.

It's just that Xie Xun came back at night, thinking about the only two cold noodles left in the kitchen, Jiang Shuyao hesitated.

Xie Xun saw that her face was not good, and thought she was still minding the drunkenness yesterday, and she was amused.

He walked over to Jiang Shuyao and handed her the oiled paper package: "I saw a twister on the way back from the next day, so I brought a package for you."

Jiang Shuyao opened the oiled paper bag, and inside it was twisted like a thick rope. It was still warm to the touch, and it was fried to just the right temperature, somewhere between golden yellow and jujube red.

Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth, the twist is crispy, the outer layer smells of oil, the inner layer is not soaked in oil, there is a pure malt aroma, and it is fried, but it is not greasy at all.

The taste is soft and sweet, it is crunchy and crunchy, and has a faint oily fragrance, which is very addictive.

Jiang Shuyao closed the oil paper package and decided to give Xie Xun a piece of roasted cold noodles.

When she was cooking, Xie Xun was used to leaning over to watch, so he naturally followed him in at this moment.

Seeing a new wok in the kitchen, I asked curiously, "Why did you think of making a wok with this shape?"

Jiang Shuyao explained to him: "This kind of pot can cook a lot of dishes. When the iron stove that I called people to beat comes back, we can eat barbecue."

After he ate the cold roasted noodles, he couldn't wait to eat it every day, and he felt that the iron pan was the right one.

The two licked their mouths incessantly, and then Jiang Shuyao realized that he forgot to make dinner.

So the two had to go to the big kitchen to ask for dinner.

The next day, when Jiang Shuyao went to Shouning Hall to greet him, the eldest master and the second master happened to be there.

When they were talking, Jiang Shuyao came in. They both had a good impression of Jiang Shuyao, the younger brother and sister, and nodded to her.

The old lady looked unhappy and pulled down the corners of her mouth.

The brothers couldn't see this either, so they continued to pick up the topic just now, and said that in a few days, the vassal countries came to pay tribute.

Up to the prime minister, down to the minor officials are all present, and they are often present before dawn. From the court meeting to the emperor's temple, one stop is almost a whole day.

The old lady was also very sad to mention this, and said: "Remember to bring some pastries, and eat some to pamper your stomach when you are hungry."

Jiang Shuyao listened, and when Xie Xun came back, he asked about it. Xie Xun was accustomed to it: "I'll be hungry for a day, and it won't get in the way. Besides, the sun is shining, and eating some sweet and greasy cakes is annoying."

Jiang Shuyao asked curiously, "Is there no pancake?"

"Usually don't bring it, the buns are dry and hard, and the cakes are cold and fishy."

Jiang Shuyao raised her eyebrows: "Why is it fishy? Why don't I make it for you, there are various types, so you won't be hungry all day." She clapped her hands and was eager to try.
