Chapter 26 Sneaking out of the house
Xu Mingye woke up, and Lin Shuran's mood improved. When they arrived in the kitchen, she asked everyone to make steamed buns with her.
"Make more today, everyone will have a share!" Anyway, there are only thirty or forty people in the General's Mansion from top to bottom, and there are many people helping with the cooking, so there is no need to worry about not having enough food.
As soon as the mistress gave the order, the two cooks in the back kitchen didn't dare to neglect. They quickly asked the housekeeper to buy more meat and vegetables from outside. At the same time, they also started making noodles according to Lin Shuran's instructions.
Xu Mingsheng had been following Lin Shuran like a little tail. When he saw her putting on an apron, she was busy in the kitchen, checking whether the dough in the pot was ready, and preparing the stuffing for steamed buns by herself, without even bothering to talk to others.
.
Xu Mingsheng felt that such a scene was lively and warm. Later, he sat obediently by the threshold out of the way, holding his chin in his hands, and followed Lin Shuran's figure with his eyes that gradually filled with light.
People in the Jin Dynasty did not eat steamed buns or dumplings very much on weekdays. Rice and noodles were really expensive these days. Only during important festivals or Chinese New Year, their families would eat steamed buns or dumplings.
And Xu Junze has always been a person who doesn't pay much attention to food and drink. He and the people in the house usually eat whatever the kitchen cook does. Usually Xu An helps take care of the kitchen. He doesn't know much about nutritional balance. He only knows other people's food.
The mansion has chicken, duck and fish, and the general's mansion is also indispensable. The cooking skills of the two cooks are quite good, but sometimes the young men in the mansion don't eat much of what they cook.
Lin Shuran started to feel tired after two meals at the General's Mansion. There was more meat and less vegetables, and the cook also liked to add more lard. She was not used to it, and such a diet was not very suitable for a growing child.
good.
Now that Xu Mingye was ill, she couldn't eat greasy food, so she went back to her room and wrote a seven-day nutritional menu, and asked the two cooks to follow this menu in the future.
Lin Shuran made the bun fillings by herself today, and the cook was responsible for wrapping and steaming them. She made several pots of pan-fried buns and raw pan-fried buns using the fermented dough and bun fillings, and also cooked a large pot of fresh fish soup.
Feeling the hostility of the dark young man, Xu Minghao glanced at him dissatisfied and said, "Who are you? Where is the little tiger?"
He used chopsticks to pick up a small golden bun with a golden bottom and put it into his mouth to take a bite. It was crispy and fragrant, and the gravy was rich. Xu Junze's eyes lit up. He had eaten buns before, but this was the first time he had eaten buns that seemed to have been fried.
The first time I ate it, it tasted really good.
"What are you doing?!" A young man who looked dark and strong blocked the brothers Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan from outside. His face was full of ferocity, and his posture was very difficult to offend.
"Then I'll go with you!" Xu Mingxuan also wanted to go out for a walk after not returning to the capital for a long time.
So the two of them packed several more big buns, put them in their arms, and slipped out of the house through the small door of the back kitchen.
However, children like Xu Minghao were a little unable to control themselves when faced with the temptation of delicious food. They were so greedy after eating the fried dumplings made by Lin Shuran for them at the farm last time. I heard that the kitchen made a lot of them today.
So they ate with open stomachs.
Soon, the plate of steamed buns came to an end. He seemed to be a little unfinished, but he had a strong sense of self-control and could only taste delicious food. He had always controlled his appetite very well.
When it was time for lunch, Xu Junze looked at the bowl of hot fish soup and the plate of steamed buns with a strong aroma brought by the kitchen, and was a little stunned. Although he didn't have high requirements for food, lunch was so simple.
It's also the first time.
"Come here, surround him!" At this moment, the strong black boy gave an order, and a dozen little beggars in the deserted house surrounded the Xu Minghao brothers. Maybe they all smelled them.
With the smell of the buns in his arms, his eyes revealed a hungry and fierce look, and he began to approach them step by step.
Seeing that the burly young man was about to grab him in the next second, Xu Minghao dodged and shouted inside: "Little Huzi, little Huzi, are you here?!"
"Got it!" Xu Junze waved the boy back. I heard that Lin Shuran had been busy in the back kitchen for most of the day. The dignified daughter of the Imperial Tutor did not dislike the strong smoke and smoke in the back kitchen. Is this her nature or is she deliberately doing it?
How do you show it to outsiders?
"What a little tiger, get out of here, this is my territory!" The strong black boy stretched out a hand to push Xu Minghao away, but when he got closer to him, he smelled the aroma of steamed buns on his body and saw his bulge.
Protecting a cloth bag, "What is it? Bring it here!"
"Reporting to the general, my wife said that there are still a lot of steamed buns and fish soup in the back kitchen that is not enough!" The boy who delivered the meal did not dare to speak loudly. He raised his head cautiously and glanced at Xu Junze, wondering if he was right about this.
Simple meals made me angry.
"Brother Qi, haven't you eaten two plates of small buns, why did you put so many big buns into the cloth bag?" Xu Mingxuan watched Xu Minghao eat nearly twenty fried buns, and he even burped after eating, but this
After a while, he sneaked to the kitchen to put those big buns in a portable cloth bag.
"I haven't seen Xiao Huzi for a long time, and I don't know if his legs are okay. It's so cold now, and he will definitely not be able to get food!" Xu Minghao was still worried about his good friend Xiao Huzi, whom he met while listening to books in the teahouse.
Since he was kicked by Fang Da last time and his leg was broken, he has been recuperating in an abandoned house in the city. Although he gave him some money for treatment, he never saw Xiaohu again after being dragged to the farm by Lin Shuran.
Son, now he wants to see him.
Xu Mingxuan swallowed his saliva with some fear, pulled Xu Minghao's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Qi, I think Xiao Huzi is not here today, let's go first!"
The two of them found the abandoned house where Xiao Huzi lived by familiar means, but found that they had not come during this period, and other beggars lived in the abandoned house, and they did not seem to be very old. When they saw the two beggars, Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan,
The well-dressed teenagers all looked wary.
A good man doesn't take immediate losses. Although the two of them have learned some boxing and kicking skills, they will suffer big losses if they can't protect them all at once against a dozen people who look taller and stronger than them. What's more, they seem to be very hungry and keep staring at them.
Wearing a cloth bag for buns.
"What are you afraid of? You forgot that there are secret guards following us!" Xu Minghao blinked at Xu Mingxuan. He was worried that they would get into trouble later, so Xu Junze assigned a secret guard to each of them, and they slipped out of the house to find others.
Maybe they don't know, but the secret guards must be following them secretly to protect them.
"Yeah, why did I forget!" Xu Mingxuan smiled "hehe" and puffed up his chest. Now he was no longer afraid, and even raised his head provocatively towards the little beggar who surrounded them.
The little beggars surrounding the two people didn't hear clearly what the two brothers of the Xu family were muttering. The smell of the steamed buns made them so greedy that they couldn't help but take action. They kept shrinking the circle, and even with the look of the strong black boy, they couldn't help but take action.
, and rushed towards them at the same time.
