Chapter 921: Revealing the truth
Le Yunxuanjiu went to the inner courtyard of the Xuan family. He was still listening to the sounds outside. He heard Major Hong return to the car, heard the car go away and entered the avenue, until he couldn't tell the difference. I no longer paid attention to which car made the noise.
Xuan Jiu led the little girl through the back hall of the tea house, then passed the front yard to the second courtyard. He led the little girl into the main hall of the east wing, and 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 Loli finally arrived, he threw away the book and showed a beautiful smile: "Little beauty, you guys have left the table so early. , the water tank and so on haven’t been delivered yet. Traffic jams are easy during the day, so I asked the store to deliver the goods at night.” She's talking about me." Le Yun smiled and walked outside the Arhat bed where she was sitting, taking off her shoes, climbed onto the Arhat bed, and followed her master's example, leaning on the chair to the north and facing the door.
In winter, Xuanjia’s Arhat beds are covered with thick cushions and have pillows for sitting or half-lying on. They are very comfortable because a layer of sorghum poles is added to the wall to keep them warm. With heating, two anthracite stoves can also be used to warm the house.
"Ah Jiu, 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, Let me help you count. From before dusk to when I went out to guard the door, you chanted about the little girl sixty-three times. I don’t know how many times you chanted her in the afternoon and when I was not there."
"Traitor , an absolute traitor." There was a guy who exposed his background. Young Master Xuan glared at Xuan Jiu in anger: "I have decided that you will help me taste new dishes in one month."
< br /> "I knew it was like this." Xuan Jiu put the pillow beside the young master, calmly returned to where Xuan Yi and 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 all the young master's dark ingredients 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.
Being exposed by the family guards, Young Master Xuan threw away countless knives helplessly, and turned to talk to the little Loli with a smile: "Little beauty, I don't know that person, don't you think so?" Hear what he said."
"The truth is offensive, but honesty is the most valuable." 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. For praise, Because of their moral character, I decided to make delicious food for them to taste."
"Okay, okay, what do you need?" Mr. Steal the teacher.
"The rabbits, lotus leaves and sand on my list, as well as a large coal stove, are enough."
“I have basically found all the raw materials on the list, but it’s hard to find cactus, so I only found a little bit.” Get up after one o'clock and cook delicious food, and you can eat delicious rabbits tomorrow morning."
"No problem." Mr. How to cook delicious food.
The young people of Xuanjia were also overjoyed. The little girl came to their house to cook delicious food, and they benefited a lot. The little girl is like a little lucky star, lighting up wherever she goes.
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 Guxiu family to have lunch tomorrow and what to cook.
The Xuanjia youths also summed up their experience and knew that Jiang Shao 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 Guxiu family after breakfast tomorrow. The young master.
After consuming it for a long time, the merchant who delivered the stone jars 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 goods.
Mr. Xuan and Little Loli wandered 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 went to the four stores. The order is for a total of three trucks, small Dongfeng trucks with open roofs. Two trucks are equipped with stone vats, and one truck is equipped with ceramic water tanks.
There were seven or eight porters accompanying the car. It was too cold, so they all wore masks and gloves. They started to work as soon as the car stopped, untied the ropes that tied the goods, and then set up wooden slats to lay the planks. , the mobile stone water cylinders slid from the car along the slope to the ground one by one.
The porters slid the stone jars from the carriage to the ground. The Xuanjia youth moved 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 Xuanjia youth looked at the little girl carrying a water tank weighing more than 100 kilograms. Sweating all over the floor: "Little beauty, you are wearing high heels, we can do this for you."
Mr. , turned around and saw the cute little loli carrying a vat, she almost fell over, and rushed over to grab it and help move it: "Little beauty, you'd better just watch, this kind of work is done by men. You just have to make delicious food."
Le Yun was speechless when the stone jar was snatched away. This was obviously her private matter, but it finally became Xuanjia's matter, embarrassment! 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, coming and going. The porters had just moved the stone jar to the ground, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye.If you move it away, it is basically impossible for the tank to accumulate.
There are eighty-seven stone jars in total. They were stacked one layer during loading. 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 stoneware vat with a wide mouth. There are only a few pot-shaped 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 shopkeepers who came with the car, settled the remaining amount, and handed it over to the porters. The hard work fee for each worker is 100 yuan. It was a cold day, it was night, and the temperature was extremely low. The porters relied on their strength to make a living. Working in the cold, life was not easy.
After settling the bill, the store owner and the delivery truck hurried home. The Xuanjia youths also closed the courtyard door and returned to the inner courtyard. They saw stone jars and pottery piled up in the patio and under the corridor. cylinder.
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 paper, and moved the jar into the space openly. It took a total of half an hour to complete the transfer work. Then she entered the main hall of the upper room and moved a dozen small stones. The jars and pots were also collected. After collecting their belongings, they chose a place and moved out the wine that Mr. Xuan and Mr. Hua bought 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.
Mr. Le Xiao collected the stored things, moved the luggage trailer to the main hall, and took out a few boxes to stack them together. He found a basket of fruits and a 10-pound gold brick, and packed them in one box. An African-style clay pot with coffee beans was given to Master 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 the little Lolita Xuan Shao was a little confused about the things he gave himself: "Give these all to me? I like the fruit, why did you throw another gold brick?"
"The gold brick is the money saved in advance, what do I need to buy in the future? I am inconvenienced, so I ask for your help again just like this time. 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 tell me when the money is not enough. That pottery The jar is made of black clay pottery, which is rare in Africa. You can try using it to hold sauce or wine and seal it for a year, and you will have unexpected effects. The coffee beans are also produced in the country of origin. If you don’t like to drink it, you can use it to entertain those who do. People who like to imitate European and American people think that drinking coffee is a high-class behavior."
"But if you bring me red wine back, it will be tax-free. The money we spent on buying a tank this time is not worth the cost of bringing red wine. How do you calculate the tax payable when leaving the country?"
"You don't have to calculate it. You help me purchase and find things for me. I borrow your house and send the handsome Xuan family guys to do odd jobs, and I don'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 the things, let me know."
The little girl calculated carefully and paid for everything to his family. That would be too outrageous.
After sorting out the items, 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.
Mr. 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, asking about the situation and reporting back. The test results of several brothers sent to the hospital.
The brothers were all there. Yan Xing shared the biscuits given by Little Loli to the brothers. He resolutely refused to share the bread and went to sleep with the food in his arms.
There were so few biscuits, so there was not enough to share. Each of them had half a piece, which made a group of soldiers feel very greedy after eating it. They wanted to drag the leader up and give them a slap in the face. The captain clearly meant to hang them. 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 appreciation banquet also expressed resentment. The truffle bread is delicious. Can I ask how I can get Mr. Le to treat me to a meal of herbal medicine alone?
Some teachers and students of 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 did not go back to school until after eleven o'clock. Climb home and quickly wash up and go 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, and took out Put some cacti and ingredients in a basket, turn on the flashlight and open the door to go to the kitchen.
Mr. Xuan had been waiting for the little girl for a long time. When he heard 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. pace of.
, the rabbits were slaughtered just before evening, put into baskets to drain, and various ingredients were lined up on the shelves or piled in a corner of the ground.
Everything needed to check was in place. Le Yun put on an apron and sleeves, removed the pot of hot water, replaced the stove ball, and placed a small stone jar for growing flowers. Pour half a jar of sand into the coal stove, turn on the tuyere of the coal stove, let the fire in the coal stove burn brightly, and heat the stone jar and sand.
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 meat.Chicken, leave them to marinate and soak, take out the stone pound, cut the truffles, throw them in and pound them, put them in a small pot, pound the truffles again, the first time is just pound the truffles, the second time add the medicinal materials, pound well and then filter , juice and residue are separated.
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. Make the dough without water, use medicinal juice, and add Add some medicinal dregs, add mashed truffles, knead two large doughs and let them ferment. Instead, use mud and thin mud to make a dough, and then spread it into mud cakes.
Make the mud pancakes, take out the marinated rabbits and stuff them with medicinal materials, plate them neatly, put them on the cactus, tie them with purslane grass, then wrap them in lotus leaves, and tie them tightly To prevent leakage, make a portion and fill a rabbit's belly with medicinal ingredients.
Xuan Shao studied everything carefully, memorized the amount of materials to use, and started working hard.
The two of them worked very quickly. They wrapped twenty rabbits in lotus leaves and then wrapped them in mud cakes to form a mud ball. They then applied some dry mud on the surface to prevent sticking and turned it into a mud ball. Clay balls.
After handling the rabbit, I washed my hands, put a steamer on another large coal stove, poured in hot water to preheat, Little Lolita and Young Master Xuan made dumplings first, and waited for the water in the steamer to boil. , steam a pot of dumplings, Mr. Xuan is responsible for making the dumplings, and the little Loli kneads the toasted bread. When a certain amount is reached, open the oven and bake it.
After steaming two pots of dumplings and baking a pot of bread, the sand in the stone vat was also very hot. Student Le buried the clay egg wrapped in the rabbit into the hot sand in the stone vat. , then take out several marinated whole chickens, stuff the chicken belly with medicinal materials, wrap it in lotus leaves and put it into an earthen jar, then put it on the surface of the sand with mud eggs buried in it, and then cover it with a stone jar upside down. Stone jars of sand, let the sand slowly simmer roasted clay eggs and chickens in earthen pots.
After burying the clay eggs, 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, but they all fell asleep when they fell asleep. They fell asleep and woke up naturally. Time It was still the same time as before when I woke up on time, and the scent lingered on my nose.
The young people all stood up, took care of themselves quickly, and tiptoed to the corridor. It was dark outside, so they hurried to wash up, and then quietly ran outside the kitchen and opened the door. The half door peeked inside.
When Mr. Xuan saw the young family members poking their heads, 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. The hall should be decorated."
"Young master, we are not sneaky, we are looking at it openly."
About a dozen young people filed into the kitchen. A group of people took them awayThe dustpans, baskets, and buckets containing dumplings, steamed buns, and bread were packed in the west hall. Several young people with fast hands helped make dumplings and steamed buns, and were responsible for managing the fire.
