It's noon on the sun.
Li Zexuan finally wandered to the Han family courtyard, and heard the whirring sounds of Lan'er and Tiedan from afar.
"Sister Yu Xi, Lan'er wants to eat the pheasant stewed with mushrooms from last time."
"Sister, Tiedan wants to eat the chicken."
"You brat, the chicken you are eating is so expensive, can you eat it every day?"
This was the voice of Han Lizheng. A few days ago, he went to the city to ask about the price of the chicken. After learning about it, Han Lizheng felt heartbroken. The last time Li Zexuan came to their house, Tiedan ate a lot of chicken. .
Li Zexuan smiled, opened the courtyard door and walked in.
Han Li was chopping firewood in the yard. When he saw Li Zexuan, he quickly came up to him and said with a smile: "Sir, you are here."
After saying that, he quickly wanted to take the reins from Li Zexuan's hand. Li Zexuan waved his hand and refused. While tying the big white horse to the big tree in the yard, he responded with a smile:
"Uncle Han, please don't call me Sir. That's fine with other people calling me that. You and my father are old friends, and I am Tiedan's master. You can just call me Xiaoxuan or Young Master."
Han Lizheng saw that after Li Zexuan became a baron, he treated others as kindly as before. Hearing Li Zexuan's sincerity, he felt warm in his heart and said with a smile:
"Haha, young master, come inside quickly and sit down. It's hot outside!"
Li Zexuan smiled and nodded. He told Han Lizheng that he didn't want to get too far away from their family's relationship.
"Yu Xi, the young master is here, hurry up and prepare the food. Don't keep the young master waiting!" Han Lizheng shouted to the kitchen.
"I know, Daddy, I'll be fine soon!"
Han Yuxi's pleasant voice came from the kitchen.
… …
When Lan'er saw her brother coming, she came to the house and had an intimate fuss with Li Zexuan for a while, and then she couldn't help but go out with Tiedan to go crazy. As soon as the little girl arrived in the country, she became even more wild. She felt that the village was better than the one in Chang'an City. Much more fun.
In the house, Han Lizheng said with emotion after seeing Lan'er and Tiedan going out:
"Tiedan's mother has been gone for a long time. This kid is used to being a wild child and doesn't know etiquette. He must have caused a lot of trouble for the master and his wife at the young master's house. I really feel a little sorry!"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "What did Uncle Han say? Since I have accepted Tiedan as my disciple, my father and mother have long regarded Tiedan as one of their own, so why bother? Besides, I see the character of this child Tiedan Yes, with a little training, he can be a promising talent."
When Han Lizheng heard what Li Zexuan said, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. Any father would be very happy when he hears other people praising his son.
"Haha, as long as that boy doesn't cause any trouble to you, Master!"
"Uncle Han, I came here this time because I wanted to stop by Plum Village. You should know that the fiefdom your Majesty gave me is in Plum Village. How much do you know about Plum Village?"
After chatting for a while, Li Zexuan got down to business.
Han Lizheng nodded and said: "Master, these are all from neighboring villages. Of course I understand. The villager of Mei Village is Liu Qingfeng. He passed the examination as a scholar in the early years. He is a highly respected figure in Mei Village and he has some friendship with me. Before Mei Village The head of the family is Liu Shiren. You already know this young master.
Liu Shiren was rich and unkind, causing harm to the village. Liu Qingfeng dared not speak out against him. The farmers in Meicun not only had to bear high rents, but also suffered various kinds of exploitation.
Although I can't stand what Liu Shiren did, I can't do anything about it. But this time it has become the young master's fiefdom. If people who want to come to Plum Village know about it, they will definitely be very happy. "
Li Zexuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and there will be reincarnation in the way of heaven. Liu Shiren will receive the retribution he deserves. Uncle Han, please take me to Plum Village in the afternoon. I will take a look at the situation there. And I plan to imitate Hanjiazhuang and open one in Plum Village." The chicken farms can also add some income to the farmers."
Han Lizheng said with emotion: "Young Master is so kind..."
"Dad, young master, it's time to eat."
At this time, Han Yuxi's shout came from outside, and then she saw Han Yuxi walking in with a dish. Of course, she was followed by two little tails.
After not seeing each other for many days, Han Yuxi became more and more radiant, and the joyful look between her eyebrows made her already charming little face even more charming.
Even though it was not the first time he saw Han Yuxi, Li Zexuan was still fascinated by her peerless appearance, and he was a little crazy for a moment.
"Ahem."
Han Lizheng coughed softly twice, and Li Zexuan woke up instantly. His face turned red with embarrassment. He stared at his daughter in front of Han Lizheng and was caught doing it. No matter how thick-skinned Li Zexuan was, he still felt a little embarrassed.
Han Yuxi put down the dish and hurried out, planning to go to the kitchen to bring the remaining dishes.
She also noticed Li Zexuan's stunning gaze just now, and she felt a little happy. When Tiedan and Lan'er came over early in the morning, she learned that Li Zexuan had gone to Hu Jingran's house and would be here soon.
Then she didn't know why, while Lan'er and Tiedan were out having fun, she secretly went back to the room to dress up.
She had just called her Young Master Li Zexuan instead of Lord, and she had some thoughts.
After the news of Li Zexuan's knighthood spread throughout Hanjiazhuang yesterday, Han Yuxi felt happy for Li Zexuan, but also felt sad because the identity gap between herself and Li Zexuan was getting wider and wider.
But thinking about how courageous she was at that time when she had resolutely agreed to help Li Zexuan make wine, despite the dissuasion from her father's eyes, Han Yuxi couldn't bear to give up, so she secretly decided to cherish it even if she couldn't be with him in the future. Just treat him well when you are together now and you won't regret it in the future.
Therefore, when Han Yuxi called Li Zexuan young master just now, she also tried to numb herself and prevent herself from thinking about the status gap.
The food and wine were served and everyone sat down.
Only then did Li Zexuan notice that the dishes on the table today were a little unusual.
In addition to the pheasant stewed with mushrooms last time, there are also fried eggs with leeks, fried meat with fungus, fried shredded chicken, and stir-fried cabbage (cabbage). These stir-fried or fried dishes are not available outside except Li’s family. Yes.
"Yu Xi, how do you know how to cook these dishes?"
Li Zexuan couldn't help but ask.
Han Yuxi tidied her hair in embarrassment and said softly:
"This was the last time I stayed at the young master's house. Yu Xi saw that the cooking methods of the young master's house were a little unusual. Out of curiosity, he asked Aunt Zhao, your cook, and then he knew that this cooking method could also be used. So Yu Xi Xi tried making it a few times after returning home and found that it tasted pretty good.
Later, Yu Xi thought of some other dishes that could be stir-fried over high heat. It just so happened that she could use these new dishes to entertain the young master today. "
Li Zexuan smelled the aroma of these stir-fried vegetables, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Not bad, not bad. Just smelling this smell will whet your appetite. Yu Xi, you are really ingenious."
Han Lizheng chuckled and said, "Master, you don't know that when my Yu Xi cooked stir-fry at home for the first time, Lao Han and I almost swallowed my tongue. This cooking tastes really good."
Lan'er couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and tasted the scrambled eggs with chives. The little girl immediately narrowed her eyes and exclaimed: "It's really delicious, brother. Lan'er doesn't want to go home. She wants to eat rain here every day." Cherish the food cooked by my sister.”
Everyone was amused by this innocent remark.
Li Zexuan also picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He found that what Lan'er said was not an exaggeration at all. The taste of these stir-fried dishes was basically comparable to that of some big restaurants in his previous life, and even more delicious than what Aunt Zhao cooked at home. , Han Yuxi’s skills are simply outstanding.
Li Zexuan tasted some flavors from his previous life in these dishes, and his appetite suddenly whetted. He ate four bowls of rice before putting down his bowls and chopsticks with satisfaction.
When Han Yuxi saw that Li Zexuan was eating happily, she couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart. Her efforts these days were finally not in vain. What she just said was simple, but God knows how much effort she put in to research these new dishes.
But judging from the results, all her efforts were worth it. She had already achieved the first step and captured Li Zexuan's stomach.
