In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since I arrived at the General's Mansion. The slave status issue has been settled, the house has been purchased, and it's time for Xia Jin to leave. Today, Lin Ziyi asked Mu Gu to come over and help Xia Jin move her luggage.
To leave the General's Mansion, she had to talk to the old lady, so Xia Jin arrived at the main courtyard early. Five or six days had passed since Granny Lin was found to have poisoned the old lady and was sent to Dali Temple.
Now, steward Luo and Mrs. Sun are mainly responsible for the affairs of the main courtyard.
Seeing Xia Jin coming, and looking at Mu Gu standing behind her, Butler Luo slightly nodded his head in a gesture of invitation.
"Miss Xia, please come this way."
Xia Jin and Si Ji followed Butler Luo in, walked through the garden arch on the corridor, and finally stopped at the rockery not far from the flower hall in the main courtyard.
Butler Luo looked at Xia Jin and reminded: "The old lady is not in good health right now. Please be careful when speaking later and don't make the old lady angry."
"Mother Lin has been arrested. The old lady's illness should be cured soon under the doctor's care." Xia Jin asked doubtfully.
Butler Luo shook his head and said: "A confidant who has been with the old lady for more than twenty years wants to kill the old lady for the benefit of the Lin family! The old lady's heart was broken! She was so angry that she couldn't even eat!
Now, instead of getting better, the old lady's illness has worsened!"
Butler Luo has been worried about this matter recently, but no matter how many ways the kitchen tries to cook, the old lady has no appetite.
The old lady ordered not to mention it to the general, so as not to distract him.
Steward Luo was holding back his discomfort about this matter. When Xia Jin asked, it was as if he had found a tree hole.
"Hey, I really don't know what's wrong with Grandma Lin. The old lady trusts her so much and leaves the backyard to her. It's really chilling!"
"I sent someone to invite Chef Qin yesterday to see if he could think of a way to make delicious dishes, but I learned that Chef Qin was not in the capital, and I don't know where he went!"
Xia Jin knows where Qin Haoou is...
In order to make the "Crazy Saliva Chicken", all the peppercorns in Beijing have been used up.
Xia Jin told him that there was a village in Jiujia Village in Wangxi Town that planted Sichuan peppercorns, so Qin Haoou went there overnight, and now he thought he had arrived in Wangxi Town, so Butler Luo missed the opportunity.
Seeing Butler Luo's sad face, Xia Jin glanced at the main courtyard not far away.
The benefactor was kind to her. He settled her slave status and bought a house. He also sent people to help her move.
Now that the old lady needs a chef to make delicious food for appetizers, Xia Jin has no reason to just watch and ignore her!
"Let me try it!"
"You?" Butler Luo looked at Xia Jin. Xia Jin had just passed the age of hairpin. In Butler Luo's view, she was no different from a little girl.
Xia Jin might be able to cook an ordinary hot soup dish, but to reach the level of a chef, ordinary people would definitely not be able to cook it.
In Yan State, the recipes of chefs are kept secret, and the preparation of various delicacies is only in the hands of a few chefs. The status of some top chefs is no less than that of a high-ranking official.
The cooking in ordinary households is simple boiling and roasting, and some salt is added if possible. Butler Luo feels that Xia Jin will definitely not be able to cook such exquisite delicacies!
"Miss Xia, your kind old slave has made a note of it. It's better to leave things like cooking to professionals!"
"Pfft!" Shiji couldn't help laughing.
"You girl, why are you laughing!" Butler Luo glared at Siji angrily.
Siji Guling shrank his neck, pouted slightly, and said to himself: "My boss is the most professional~"
The voice was not loud, and Butler Luo was too old to hear it clearly, so he just thought the girl was talking nonsense.
He led the way and continued to talk to himself: "I'll see the old lady soon. Just be careful with what you say and don't say anything unpleasant. Don't be afraid, Miss Xia. The old lady is very kind.
It’s just that I’m not in good health…”
As he was talking, when there was no movement behind him, Butler Luo looked back.
"Huh? Where are the people!"
Xia Jin and the others were here just now, but why did they disappear in the blink of an eye?
In the kitchen of the General's Mansion, Lao Zhou looked at the porridge he had just returned and sighed.
"Old lady, you haven't eaten one bite again. Hey, what are you so angry about? It's not worth it to make your body so angry!" Old Zhoutou said as he poured the returned porridge intact into the casserole.
At this moment, the door opened from the outside, and Lao Zhou thought it was the maid who hadn't left.
"It will take a while for the old lady's medicine to be ready. You can come back and get it in half an hour."
Seeing that the person behind him didn't say anything, Lao Zhou turned around. Before he could see who it was, a rolling pin hit him on the back of the head!
Lao Zhou fainted on the ground. Xia Jin put the rolling pin away, squatted down and poked it. After confirming that Lao Zhou was unconscious, he said helplessly: "Even if I explain, you won't listen. This is the simplest and most crude method."
!”
After saying that, Xia Jin pulled off the apron hanging on the wall and tied it around her body, picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board, and swung out a knife flower.
Lao Taijun's night cough indicates that internal fire is heavy, and the liver fire is stagnate due to anger, which leads to aggravation of the condition and loss of appetite.
Of course, the best way to clear liver fire is bitter melon, but bitter melon has a strong bitter taste and cannot be eaten directly. Therefore, Xia Jin chose to stew bitter melon and pork ribs in soup, and only chose the original soup to make a 'Assorted Fresh Noodles'.
Throw the ingredients into the casserole and cook them with three flavors of real fire to shorten the cooking time. Filter out the original soup and pour it on the cooked noodles. Coupled with Xia Jin's extreme control of the seasoning and heat, the color will be delicious in no time.
The fragrant noodles are ready!
Siji was standing outside the kitchen and could smell the aroma. Even though he had eaten breakfast, he was still attracted by the refreshing aroma and his appetite increased!
The aroma of wheat and meat combine into a refreshing taste, which feels like the wind passing by on the grassland, so comfortable that it makes your eyes squint all year round.
After Xia Jin finished cooking, she carried the tray to the old lady's residence, opened the door and put the noodles on the table.
As soon as they were put away, the old lady came back and saw a bowl of noodles on the table. Mrs. Sun thought it was Butler Luo who put it there.
"What kind of noodles is this? It smells so good!" The old lady couldn't smell anything these days, but she could smell the fragrance of this bowl of noodles!
Seeing that the old lady was interested, Ms. Sun's face lit up with joy, "Old lady, give it a try!"
Mrs. Sun helped the old lady sit at the table, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the old lady.
The old lady picked up a noodle and took a bite. The next moment, the fragrance rushed into her nose. The sweet smell and the texture of the noodles made the old lady feel like she was in a vegetable garden, looking at the spring scenery.
scene, for a moment, she seemed to feel the resurrection of everything.
The mind that was confused because of illness became clear!
She continued to take a bite, and her taste buds, which seemed to have been covered by lard, were opened. After a while, the bowl of noodles was finished. The old lady couldn't bear to put down her chopsticks, picked up the bowl and drank all the soup.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Sun and Grandma were dumbfounded!
The old lady was holding her warm belly, her face was rosy, and her eyes were much clearer.
