Chapter 2: It's really hard to eat enough
When Xuejian woke up again, she asked Sanni, who was taking care of her, "I remember I had chicken soup yesterday. Is there any chicken?"
Sanni blushed angrily and couldn't help saying, "Xuejian, there is only an old hen borrowed by my mother's face. Yesterday, I let you eat half, and even Qi Niang Jiulang Shi Niang only drank some soup, you..."
"Sanni," Zhou Bo's cold voice came from the door, "You don't need to serve here. Go down!"
Sanni stood up, saluted Zhou Boye aggrievedly, and then walked out of the door.
Xuejian struggled to sit up. Zhou Bo held her and frowned, "What are you doing up?"
He raised his hand to smooth his eyebrows and whispered, "You are angry with me again!" Seeing that Zhou Bo frowned more tightly, she quickly put down her hand and whispered, "My dear is a young master. I should abide by the law and keep myself safe. * Tighten my tail is not a slave maidservant."
Zhou Bo listened to her messy thoughts and couldn't help raising his hand and saying, "Are you talking nonsense again?"
Xue Jian was familiar with his routine for a long time. Although this little man was thin but muscular, it was not difficult to imagine the consequences of this slap. It's better to hide first, right?
She turned down to the ground, turned her eyes and said, "I want chicken porridge, not chicken soup."
Zhou Bo looked at her helplessly, thought for a moment, and sighed, "Oka, let Zhou's mother..."
Xue Jian shook his head: "I'll do it myself. I can't afford Zhou's mother and Du's mother."
Seeing Zhou Bo frowning again, Xue saw that he quickly greeted people with a smile: "I'm wrong, young master. I just feel that it's always hard for everyone during this period of time, so I think it's better to make it for myself. Others are more worry-free."
When he couldn't resist her, Zhou Bo called Du's mother to come in and take Xue to the kitchen.
Zhou's mother has heard Sanni say that this Xuejian is thinking about the only half of the chicken in the family, and she is also very angry, but she has always looked at the house in her hometown, not as close to the young masters and young ladies as Du's mother, and has always been obedient to the kind of 100% good servants assigned and command, so she sighed, this fox Meizi is born to meet everyone. Xian's good skin has been sleeping with the young master for so long. Alas, even the young master doesn't say anything. What can she say?
Xue Jian pretended not to see her face and entered the kitchen. First, she ordered, "Mrs. Zhou, please take out half of the japonica rice left in the jar and wash it clean!"
The corners of his eyes swept to Du's mother, who came over later (it said it might be more appropriate to catch up) and Xue Jian immediately commanded rudely: "Du Ma, you are tired to wash that half of the chicken and blanch it in boiling water."
She put water in another pot and said at the same time, "Sanni, don't be idle. Boil the water over high heat."
It's not that she intended to make a group of people. It's really because Xuejian has never used this kind of stove pot, so she asked others to help.
After the water boiled, she personally put the chicken into the pot, covered it, and boiled it on low heat for more than half an hour. Then she took it out, soaked it in cold boiled water, then took out the dry water, and applied sesame oil on the skin to keep the chicken bright and not shrink nor old.
Not to mention Zhou's mother, even Du's mother has never seen such a thing.
Xuejian poured japonica rice into the pot, added the original chicken soup, and ordered Zhou's mother to boil it over high heat, and then cooked it over low heat until the porridge was thick. Then he ordered Du Ma to slice the chicken and put it on a plate, mix it into seasonings with green onions, ginger, salt and sesame oil, and pour it directly on it. Unfortunately, there is no soy sauce in this era, otherwise it will taste better. Xue Jian sighed.
Xuejian asked them to send porridge and chicken to Zhou Bo's house for a while, so they went back first.
Sanni stared at her back and looked at the fresh and delicious food. She couldn't help saying, "This taste is really fragrant..."
Zhou's mother and Du's mother are also sighing. Zhou's mother said, "This taste is naturally fragrant, but there is really nothing else to eat at home."
Du's mother scolded, "That's the point. In this way, this little fox spirit is tossed away and hurt me to death."
Before the words fell, Xue saw that she returned, as if she had not seen the embarrassment on their faces. She ordered as if nothing had happened: "Sanni, go and call Qi Niang Balang Jiulang Shi Niang here."
Outside Zhou Bo's bedroom, Zhou Xian, the second mother, was arguing with Zhou Bo with a calm face. When she came in, she shook her hand and went out of the room.
Xue saw that she had just made half of the salute, so she simply couldn't do it. She took Zhou Bo's hand and said, "Dalang, try Xuejian's craftsmanship."
Zhou Bo frowned and looked at her hand. Xue Jian quickly let go of her hand and saluted again: "Young master, please taste the craftsmanship of the slave maidservant Xuejian!"
There was a burst of excitement in the courtyard, accompanied by the fragrance of chicken porridge, which was the voice of surprise and admiration of several children.
"It smells so good. It's the smell of chicken, isn't it?" This is the voice of Qi Niang.
Hachiro confirmed: "It's more fragrant than usual chicken, and Du Ma and Zhou Ma's craftsmanship is very good!"
Jiulang and Shi Niang also came around the incense chatty.
Zhou Bo ignored Xue Jian's eager eyes and just waved his hand. Xue Jian pouted and walked out of the study.
In the main room, four children have spontaneously sat around the table, and chicken porridge and chicken emit a magical fragrance, making people who have been hungry for a long time almost have an illusion.
Zhou's mother Du Ma Sanni and Zhou Xian, the second mother who met the children as soon as they came out of the study, stood aside and stared at Xue Jian with their own expression.
Xue pretended not to see it. First, she put a bowl for herself, and then ate a mouthful of porridge. She closed her eyes and thought about it. She clearly heard the sound of swallowing saliva, and then picked up a small piece of chicken. She tasted it carefully and sighed slowly, "The chicken is still delicious, and the porridge is also delicious."
Er Niang's eyes were round. Xue saw this and asked Sanni, "Where is Qi Niang Ba Lang Jiu Lang Shi Niang's bowl?"
Seeing that Sanni ran back to the kitchen to get the bowl, Xuejian said to Zhou's mother, "I ran away without saying anything just now. Please ask Zhou's mother to bring the bowl for Dalang again, and Qian'er's."
Zhou's mother answered repeatedly and turned around happily and went out.
Xuejian stood up and went to Er Niang and whispered, "I've seen it. There is really nothing to eat at home, but the young masters and young ladies are too young. It's time to grow up. They can't always be so hungry. Even if we are hungry, we can't wrong them!"
Only then did Er Niang find that Xue Jian had just given herself a bowl, but in fact, she just pretended to be a look and did not put a mouthful of porridge.
Zhou Xian has always felt that he is strong. Even if his family is in great trouble, it is all supported by her and her eldest brother. Now he can't help crying because of Xue Jian's words. Du's mother next to her has already burst into tears.
Xue Jian continued: "Zhou's mother, don't do this. Although Xue Jian doesn't remember the past, since I am a member of this family, I will definitely work with everyone in the future, and everyone's life will eventually get better in the future!"
When Er Niang saw Xue's little girl, who was younger and much smaller than herself, with a solemn look on her face, she didn't know why she had a feeling of loosening her shoulders and faintly felt that she had opened her eyes? Finally, someone helped our brother and sister take on this heavy responsibility.
Zhou's mother and Sanni have brought back the bowl, and Er Niang whispered, "Chen, you can also sit together."
Four children and Qian'er each have a bowl, which is extremely sweet.
Xue saw herself go to the study with a bowl.
Er Niang looked at the rest and ordered Du's mother to send a bowl to Sanlang Si Niang Wu Niang Liulang each, and then asked Mrs. Zhou to bring it back to the kitchen and add more than half of the water, and the servants will clear one point.
Modern people often say that to catch a man's stomach first, it turns out that this is also decisive and reasonable to go back to ancient times. Not to mention others, these youngest people now can't wait to be with her every day, not only because of the same porridge and salt, it is no longer difficult to swallow through her hands or her guidance, but also make people eat with relish, but also because she really likes them to love them like an old hen to protect chickens, and And she will also tell them good stories and play fun games that she has never heard of.
In addition, Xuejian's mantra is, "Dalang said..." Zhou Bo has an excellent position at home, and no one is willing to face her in front of Zhou Bo. Therefore, Xuejian, who took chicken feathers as an arrow, lived a beautiful life above everyone under a person with the power of a tiger.
