Although he had only moved into Zhang Garden a few months ago and had not yet fully established a sense of home here, Zhang Shou, who was exhausted from a whole day, fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow that night after returning from Cangzhou. Moreover, the emperor gave him three days of vacation, so if he wanted, he could sleep until he woke up naturally.
When he finally opened his eyes sleepily, he couldn't help but rest his head with the back of his hand. It took him a long while to realize that he was no longer in Cangzhou, nor on the road, but at home. Noticing that it was already bright outside, he calmed himself down and let his head gradually clear up. He supported himself and sat up, and then couldn't help yawning.
At this moment, a cautious voice came from outside the door: "Is the young master awake?"
It wasn't Ah Liu outside the door? Zhang Shou immediately recognized the difference and after a moment of surprise, he asked, "Is it Xiao Huasheng? What time is it?"
"It's me." Xiao Huasheng then hurriedly pushed the door open and came in, holding a copper basin in his hand. He put the copper basin on the basin stand, and then reached out to help Zhang Shou. Seeing that Zhang Shou had already stood up from the bed, he quickly took clothes from the hanger and handed them over. When he wanted to help him put on the clothes, he saw Zhang Shou waving his hand. He had to step back awkwardly and watched him put on the robe by himself.
"It's past nine o'clock."
He then remembered Zhang Shou's last question and answered it hastily. Seeing Zhang Shou's surprised face, he hurriedly explained, "Sixth brother said that the young master has been running around outside for so many days, so it doesn't matter if he sleeps a little longer. My wife also said so. She also asked the kitchen to cook the porridge base and keep it warm on the stove, and make the raw fish porridge when the young master wakes up."
At this point, Peanut couldn't help salivating as he recalled the breakfast that had simply stunned him.
He had never thought that breakfast could be so rich and exquisite. Raw pork liver porridge with pork liver, shredded ginger and lettuce, steamed dumplings stuffed with various vegetables, sweet and soft jujube paste cakes, and juicy meat stuffed dumplings. If he hadn't thought about how new he was, he would have almost eaten too much! And all of these, Ah Liu told him, were Zhang Shou's ideas!
Hearing that the porridge base for breakfast has been prepared and he can just put the fish fillets under the porridge, Zhang Shou couldn't help but yawn again.
It would be better to go home. The chefs outside require a lot of effort to teach him, and they often ask him to cook by himself. As for the chefs at home... Aunt Liu and Ah Liu, who are now in a sense of crisis, were found from somewhere. It is said that they are good at making human meat buns, cough cough, and Mrs. Xu, who is good at making all kinds of snacks, is competing in all aspects. He just needs to give a rough idea, and the two of them can make a bunch of trial products for him!
He was washing up when he heard Xiaohua hesitantly say behind him, "Master, have you asked anyone to take care of me? Today's breakfast was really too sumptuous. In fact, you can just treat me as an ordinary servant in your family."
Zhang Shou, who was brushing his teeth, almost swallowed the salt water in his mouth and laughed. After brushing his teeth, he finally cleaned them. After rinsing his mouth, he wiped his face with a soft towel, then turned to look at Xiao Huasheng and said with a smile: "My breakfast has always been colorful and full of varieties. The reason is very simple. You know, I am a foodie."
