Chapter 925 Revealing the truth
Le Yunxuanjiu went to the inner courtyard of the Xuan family, still listening to the sounds outside. He heard Major Hong returning to the car, and heard the car go away into the avenue. He stopped until he couldn't tell which car was driving and made the noise. focus on.
Xuan Jiu led the little girl through the back hall of the tea house, and then through the front yard to the second courtyard. He led the little girl into the main hall of the east wing, while Xuan Yi and others hurriedly prepared tea.
Xuan Shaowai was reading a book on the Luohan bed in the east hall. When he saw the pink little Lolita finally arrived, he threw away the book and showed a clear smile: "Little beauty, you have dispersed so early. There is no water tank or anything else." It’s easy to get stuck in traffic during the day, so I asked the store to deliver it at night.”
"Hey, is it really early? How can I say that there is a beautiful and outstanding young master who has been talking about me."
Le Yun smiled and walked outside the Arhat bed where she was sitting, took off her shoes, climbed onto the Arhat bed, and followed her master's example, leaning on the back of the chair and facing the door.
In winter, Xuanjia's Arhat beds are covered with thick cushions and have pillows for sitting or half-lying on. It is very comfortable because a layer of sorghum poles is added to the wall to keep the heat on. There is no need to turn on the heating. Anthracite stoves can also be used to warm the interior of a house.
"Ajiu, you betrayed me." Mr. Xuan picked up the pillow and threw it towards Xuan Jiu.
When the pillow flew by, Xuanyi lowered his head and let the pillow fly over. Xuanjiu, still standing in the hall, saw the pillow flying and stretched out his hand to catch it, and returned the pillow to the main seat: "Young Master, I will help you count it. You can count it from now on." I chanted about the little girl sixty-three times before dusk when I was on guard duty, and I don’t know how many times I chanted about her in the afternoon when I was not there.”
"Traitor, absolute traitor," there was a guy who revealed his true identity. Young Master Xuan glared at Xuan Jiu in anger: "I have decided that you will try new dishes for me in the next month."
< br>
"I knew it was like this." Xuan Jiu put the pillow beside the young master, calmly returned to where Xuan Yi and the others were sitting and sat down. He didn't care about the punishment given by the young master. What was he afraid of?
Anyway, after trying the young master's dark cuisine before, he didn't get upset. Now that the young master's cooking skills have improved, it's unlikely that he will die after eating it.
After being exposed by the family guards, Young Master Xuan threw away countless daggers and turned to talk to the little Loli with a smile: "Little beauty, I don't know that person. You pretend you didn't hear what he said."
"The truth is offensive, and honesty is the most valuable thing." Le Yun smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "Young Master Xuan, the handsome boys in your family are all honest children. In order to praise their moral character, I decided to make a delicious dish for them to taste."
"Okay, okay, what do you need?" Mr. Xuan was instantly excited. The little loli wanted to make delicious food, and he could learn from her.
"The rabbits, lotus leaves and sand on my list, as well as a large coal stove, are enough."
“We have basically found all the raw materials on the list, except for the cactus, which is hard to find and can only be found a little bit.”
"As long as I find some, I'll go to bed at 11pm and get up after 1am to cook delicious food. I'll be able to eat delicious rabbits tomorrow morning."
"No problem." Mr. Xuan was delighted, and secretly decided not to sleep at night, but to get started and learn how to cook delicious food.
The Xuanjia youths were also overjoyed. The little girl came to their house to cook some delicious food, and they benefited a lot. The little girl was like a little lucky star, lighting up wherever she went.
The time had just reached ten o'clock, which was still early. Classmate Le was not in a hurry. He lay on the Arhat bed and ate melon seeds with Mr. Xuan, chatting about how to invite the young men of the Guxiu family to have lunch tomorrow and what to cook.
The Xuanjia youths also summed up their experience and knew that Young Master Jiang and others would take action after hearing the news. In order to prevent a group of people from coming to grab the food early tomorrow morning, they decided to notify the young master of the Guxiu family after breakfast tomorrow.
After consuming it for a long time, the merchant who delivered the stone jar called and said it was coming soon. The Xuanjia youths ran to the side door excitedly, opened the door and went out to wait for the merchant to deliver the product.
Mr. Xuan and Little Loli walked around from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard. When they walked out of the side door, the delivery truck had just arrived at the door. The Xuan family placed orders for four stores, a total of three trucks, open There are small Dongfeng trucks in the shed. Two trucks are equipped with stone jars and one truck is equipped with a ceramic water tank.
There were seven or eight porters who came with the car. It was too cold, so they all wore masks and gloves. They started to work as soon as the car parked, untied the ropes that tied the goods, set up wooden slats to lay wooden boards, and moved the stone water tank from inside the car. Slide down the slope to the ground one by one.
The porters slid the stone jars from the carriage to the ground. The Xuanjia youths carried the stone jars home. Each person could carry one jar easily and without stress.
It was his own business. Little classmate Le didn't have the nerve to watch and went to carry it. The young man from the Xuan family sweated all over the floor when he saw such a little girl carrying a water tank weighing more than 100 kilograms. : "Little beauty, you are wearing high heels, we can do this for you."
Mr. Xuan carried a water tank back to the inner courtyard at a floating speed. He turned around and saw the cute little loli carrying a water tank. He almost fell over and rushed over to grab it and help carry it: "Little beauty, you Just watch, this kind of work is done by men, just make food.”
The stone vat was snatched away, and Le Yun was speechless. This was obviously her private matter, but it finally became the Xuan family's matter. Embarrassing!
The Xuanjia youth refused to let her work, so she accepted the kindness and slipped outside to stand by and watch, silently memorizing how many tanks there were.
The Xuanjia youths were all very skilled, and they came and went. The porters had just moved the stone jars to the ground, and they moved them away in the blink of an eye, making it impossible for the jars to accumulate.
There were eighty-seven stone jars in total. They were stacked one layer at a time when being loaded onto the truck. Because they were too heavy, they could not be stacked higher.
After unloading the stone vat, unload the pottery water vat. The water vat is a rough pottery vat with a wide mouth. There are only a few jar-shaped pottery vats, a total of thirty-two.
The porters finished unloading the clay jars and put away supplies such as ropes and wooden frames.
The Xuanjia youths settled the bill with the shopkeeper who came with the car, settled the remaining balance, and gave the porters a hard fee of 100 yuan each. It was a cold day, it was night, and the temperature was extremely low. The porters relied on Life is not easy if you work hard and work in the cold.
After settling the bill, the store owner and the delivery truck hurried home, and the Xuanjia youths also closed the courtyard door. When they returned to the inner courtyard, they saw stone jars and pottery jars piled up in the patio and under the corridor.
Mr. Xuan was very satisfied with the purchase results. Of course, he also asked the young people to go back to bed quickly, so as not to be frightened when they saw the little loli put the tank into the space talisman.
Le Yun walked around, took out the talisman, and moved the jar into the space in an aboveboard and aboveboard manner. It took a total of half an hour to complete the transfer. Then she entered the main hall of the upper room and collected a dozen small stone jars and clay pots. After collecting their belongings, they chose a place and moved out the wine purchased by Young Master Xuan and Young Master Hua in Country F. Mr. Xuan was not in a hurry to pack the wine and took Little Loli to get the items she had left at Xuan's house before and yesterday.
Student Le Xiao put away the stored things, moved the luggage trailer to the main hall, took out a few boxes and stacked them together, and found a basket of fruits, a 10-pound gold brick, and an African-style clay pot filled with coffee beans. To Mr. Xuan: "Master Xuan, to be honest, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't give it to him. The fruit is a wild cactus fruit on the African plateau."
Seeing what little Loli gave him, Mr. Xuan was a little confused: "Give these all to me? I like the fruit, why did you throw another gold brick?"
"Gold bricks are pre-deposited money. It is inconvenient for me to buy anything in the future. Just like this time, I will ask you for help. You will deduct the money from this gold. The money for buying stone tanks, water tanks and purchasing raw materials will also be deducted from here." , remember to say it when you don’t have enough money.
That pottery pot is a rare black clay pottery in Africa. If you try using it to hold sauce or wine and seal it for a year, you will have unexpected effects.
Coffee beans are also produced in the country of origin. If you don't like to drink them, you can use them to entertain those who like to pretend to be 13 and like to imitate European and American people who think that drinking coffee is a high-class behavior. ”
"But if you bring the red wine back for me, the tax will be exempted. The money we paid to buy the tank this time is not worth the tax payable when bringing the red wine out of the country. How can this be calculated?"
"You don't have to count. You helped me purchase and find things. I borrowed your house and sent the handsome Xuan family men to do odd jobs, and I didn't pay them any wages."
"Well, okay, the gold bricks will be stored at my house. If it's not convenient for you to come out and buy something, let me know."
Mr. Xuan thought about it and felt that he couldn't continue discussing the detailed accounts with the little Loli, otherwise the little girl would calculate everything carefully and give his family money for everything. That would be too awkward.
After tidying up the things, Mr. Xuan sent the little Loli to the guest room to rest. He also went back to the bedroom to meditate, waiting to wake up in the early morning to cook delicious food.
Young Master Yan and the captain did not return to the garrison headquarters until eleven o'clock. The brothers in the army were waiting for the three of them. When they saw the people coming back, they swarmed up and asked about the situation. They also reported to the brothers who had been sent to the hospital. inspection results.
The brothers were all there. Yan Xing shared the biscuits given by the little Loli to the brothers. He refused to share the bread and went to bed with the food in his arms.
There were so few biscuits, and there was not enough biscuits. Each of them had half a piece, which made a group of soldiers feel very greedy after eating them. They wished they could drag the leader up and give them a slap in the face. The captain was obviously deliberately trying to whet their appetite.
No matter how greedy they are, they can't really catch the captain and beat them up. A group of soldiers went to bed unwillingly. As they lay down, they still thought about one question: When will the little Loli come to prepare delicious food for them?
The soldiers were very resentful, and the guests who attended the Qingda University dinner were also resentful. The truffle bread was delicious. Could you please tell me how I can get the opportunity to have a meal of herbal medicine with Mr. Le alone?
Some teachers and students from Qingdao University did not return to school until early in the morning, and everyone hurriedly went back to sleep.
Li Shao and others who went home directly from the banquet basically crawled home after eleven o'clock and quickly went to bed.
Le Xiao's classmate in Xuanjia did not sleep. He meditated in the guest room, which was considered sleep by the way. He woke up at one o'clock in the morning, moved his limbs, did not wear a coat, changed into a pair of sneakers, took out some cacti and ingredients and used a basket. Load it up, use the flashlight to open the door and go out to the kitchen.
Mr. Xuan had been waiting for the little girl for a long time. Hearing the slight sound of her opening the door, he jumped out of bed neatly and put on his shoes. He also used the flashlight and ran out of the bedroom, happily catching up with the little Lolita.
Xuanjia's kitchen is neatly tidied, with earthen stoves, coal stoves and gas stoves. The stove can accommodate three briquettes placed side by side for burning coal. There is hot water in the upper pot. The rabbits are slaughtered before evening. It is best to put them in a basket to drain, and place the various ingredients in a row on the shelf where the items are placed, or pile them in a corner of the floor.
Checking that all the necessary things were in place, Leyun put on an apron and sleeves, removed the pot of hot water, replaced the stove ball, put a small stone vat for growing flowers on the coal stove, and poured half of the vat into it. Sand, open the tuyere of the coal stove, let the fire of the coal stove burn vigorously, and heat the stone jar and sand.
Then use several pots to hold the concoction, one pot to marinate the rabbit, another pot to marinate the meat, and another pot to marinate the whole chicken. Leave them to marinate and soak, take out the stone pot, chop the truffles, throw them in and mash them, and use a small pot to marinate them. Pack it up and pound the truffles again. The first time is to pound the truffles purely. The second time is to add the medicinal materials, pound them well and then filter them to separate the juice and residue.
Prepare a portion of the medicinal ingredients, put some of it into the dumpling fillings chopped by the Xuanjia youths, and mix well. Then take flour and dough. No water is used to make the dough. All medicinal juice is used. Some medicinal residues are also added, and mashed For truffles, knead two large doughs and let them ferment. Instead, use mud and thin mud to form a dough, and then spread it into mud pancakes.
Make the mud cake, take out the rabbit that has been marinated for a long time and fill it with medicinal materials, plate it neatly, stick the cactus on it, tie it up with purslane grass, then wrap it in lotus leaves, tie it tightly to prevent leakage, and it's done. Once again, take a rabbit and fill its belly with medicinal materials.
Mr. Xuan studied everything carefully, memorized the amount of materials to use, and got started.
The two worked quickly. They wrapped twenty rabbits in lotus leaves and then wrapped them in mud cakes, forming them into a mud ball. They then applied some dry mud on the surface to prevent sticking and turned them into mud eggs.
After handling the rabbit, they washed their hands, put a steamer on another large coal stove, and poured in hot water to preheat it. Little Lolita and Mr. Xuan made dumplings for a while, and then waited for the water in the steamer to boil. Responsible for making dumplings, the little loli kneads and bakes bread. When a certain amount is reached, open the oven and put it in for baking.
After steaming two pots of dumplings and baking a pot of bread, the sand in the stone vat was also very hot. Classmate Le buried the clay eggs wrapped with rabbits into the hot sand in the stone vat, and then put some pickled rabbits into the hot sand. The whole chicken method is to stuff medicinal materials into the chicken belly, wrap it in lotus leaves and put it in an earthen jar, then put the sand with mud eggs on it, and then use a stone jar to cover the stone jar with sand upside down to let the sand slow down. Slow simmered clay eggs and chicken in a crock pot.
After burying the dumplings, classmate Le continued to knead bread to make toast, while Master Xuan worked hard to make dumplings and sometimes meat buns.
The little Lolita and the young master of the Xuan family got up at midnight and went to the kitchen in the middle of the night. The young man of the Xuan family didn't fall asleep at first, and they all fell asleep when they fell asleep. They slept until they woke up naturally, and the time was still the same time they used to wake up on time. There are traces of fragrance lingering on the tip of the nose.
The young people stood up one by one, took care of themselves quickly, and ran to the corridor quietly. It was dark outside, so they hurried to wash up. They ran quietly outside the kitchen and peeked in from the half-open door.
When Mr. Xuan saw the young family members poking around, he laughed and scolded: "What are you doing sneaking around? He came over with nimble hands and feet to help make dumplings and buns. He was clumsy in running the coal stove and moved the dumplings and buns to the west hall. They packed up what should be packed. .”
"Young Master, we are not sneaky, we are looking at it openly."
A dozen young people filed into the kitchen, and a group of people took away the dustpans, baskets, and buckets containing dumplings and buns to the west hall to pack them. Several young people with fast hands helped make dumplings and buns, and were responsible for managing the fire.
