Chapter 2 Is it delicious? This is the beast you raised
"Doctor, please take a look, how is my grandmother doing now?" Xiao Wenjun felt a little relieved. This old man was none other than the doctor he had forced to question in his previous life.
After a careful examination, the doctor said that luckily the rescue was timely. The disease looked dangerous and he would be fine as long as he vomited the foreign body.
Now there is no serious problem, but I am getting older, so I can just prescribe a dose of medicine to take care of myself. I also told them that I should pay special attention to my diet in the past few days. I will not be so lucky if I get stuck next time.
Now everyone who was still waiting to watch the show was dumbfounded. The expression on Xiao Shuyue's face was even more wonderful, and her chest was filled with internal injuries from the heavy breath.
After coming back to their senses, these "filial sons and virtuous grandsons" turned to the wind and steered without any worries, as if the abacus of the previous second had never happened.
"Blessed by our ancestors, the old lady is safe and sound. We are finally relieved."
"Yes! It is truly blessed by the Buddha. I am willing to go to the temple in person to pray for blessings and fulfill my wishes, and donate a year's worth of sesame oil."
The old lady lifted the tea cup at her hand, and it immediately shattered on the ground and scattered in all directions. The whole audience immediately fell silent. The old lady was obviously really angry!
"Get out of here, don't embarrass yourself here!" The old lady was also a person who had seen the storm and was not used to them.
When the old lady was dying, although she could not speak, her ears were not deaf, her eyes were not blind, and her brain was still clear. Among the people in front of her, she could tell who was sincere and who was hypocritical.
Everyone who was scolded had scornful expressions on their faces, bowed their bodies, and quickly retreated. Xiao Shuyue was left alone, still thinking about something on her mind, standing there abruptly. The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
"Second sister, grandma asked you to get out! Why, do you want grandma to invite you a second time?" Xiao Wenjun said playfully as he looked at Xiao Shuyue's face turning blue and white.
In the last life, after her grandmother passed away, Xiao Shuyue intensified her insults to her. She even colluded with the doctor to feed herself the poison "Jade Broken Pills" when she was seriously ill and weak. She finally survived, but her body was broken due to coughing.
voice.
In this life, my grandmother has survived, many things will change, and I will not repeat the same mistakes of my previous life.
Xiao Shuyue had never been so humiliated since she could remember. She was so angry that her silver teeth were almost broken. She glared at Xiao Wenjun fiercely and retreated in dejection.
"Wenjun! You go back to your room to freshen up first. Grandma will talk to you later." The old lady wiped away the blood from Xiao Wenjun's forehead distressedly and said with a tired face.
Returning to Qingyue Pavilion, Xiao Shuyue became more and more angry as she thought about it, and prepared to call Bai Ling over as usual. Every time she touched the white fox's smooth fur, she felt a little happier. But this time she called several times, but she didn't hear any familiar sounds.
The sound of bells.
This white fox was bought by her brother for a lot of money as a gift to her. This white fox is very humane, docile and clever. Xiao Shuyue loved it very much and named it "Bailing". She also made a pure gold bell for it and hung it on her.
on the neck.
Xiao Shuyue usually only calls its name a few times, and the little white fox will spring out from somewhere and rub Xiao Shuyue with its soft body. The eyes of the two foxes are full of flattery. Anyone with a heart of steel will know it if they see it.
It turns into softness that wraps around your fingers.
"Have you searched in the yard? When did you find it missing?" Xiao Shuyue asked. This fox was raised privately by herself. Except for the people in Qingyue Pavilion, few people knew about it. Don't let others discover the fox first.
traces.
"I've searched all over the yard, but still can't find it. The old lady disappeared after the accident." The maid almost burst into tears. The second young lady was narrow-minded and had killed many servants, so she lost it.
The second young lady’s favorite pet will shed its skin even if it doesn’t die.
"It's useless, hurry up and send a few more people out to look for it! If you can't find it, I'll break your legs!"
"Miss, please calm down, don't get angry because of these slaves..." Xiao Shuyue's newly pampered maid Hongdou said while fanning her master.
Bang! An unknown fire arose in Xiao Shuyue's chest, and she slapped Hongdou Fan to the ground!
"You go and look for it together! If you can't find it, sell it all to a brothel. The price you all sell together is not as good as my Bai Ling!"
Xiao Shuyue felt upset for a while. Could it be that Bai Ling sneaked out and frightened the old lady like that when she was passing by Cuizhuyuan?
"Yes, Second Miss!" The servants in Qingyue Pavilion knelt in a row and answered in unison with their heads lowered in fear.
"As soon as you find Bai Ling, tell me as soon as possible!" Xiao Shuyue added.
Until someone came to deliver dinner, no one in Qingyue Pavilion found even a single fox fur. Xiao Shuyue had to go to the flower hall alone while the others continued to search.
During dinner time, all the masters of the Xiao family, except Mrs. Xiao, gathered in the flower hall to eat. Because of what happened in the afternoon, everyone was a little absent-minded until a novel pot was served.
"What kind of pot is this? It's quite special. What are these small plates used for?"
"This is the most popular hot pot in Kyoto right now. Put the cooked ingredients into the pot, and put a charcoal fire under the pot. It can not only keep the pot warm, but also make the ingredients in the pot taste better as they cook." Xiao Wenjun said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they all cheered up. What came from Kyoto were all good things.
Even Xiao Shuyue temporarily forgot about Bai Ling, picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. As soon as the meat was in her mouth, Xiao Shuyue's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but take a few more bites.
After a while, the third master called the butler and asked who made today's dishes, especially this hot pot, and what ingredients were used to cook it. The meat was delicate and delicious, firm and chewy.
"Dad, this hot pot is really good. Even if we entertain distinguished guests from Lanling City next time, we will not lose the face of our Xiao family." Xiao Shuyue said to Mr. Xiao.
"Butler, tell the kitchen to buy more tomorrow." Mr. Xiao nodded and said with a smile. Now is the time when the warmth returns to the cold. Eat hot pot to drive away the cold and feel comfortable.
"Back to Third Master, Second Young Lady, today's dinner follows the house's custom and there are no new dishes added. The hot pot was served by the princess herself to celebrate the old lady's good fortune. It must be the princess.
With superb cooking skills, this hot pot is extremely delicious!”
The butler swallowed his saliva as he spoke. He would definitely go to the kitchen to try it soon. Even the ingredients on the side of the pot are good.
"Second sister, come and try this. The meat will taste even better when dipped in this dipping sauce!" Xiao Wenjun suddenly took out the small saucer of the hot pot dish, which actually contained some powdered spices.
"It's really good! Third sister, how do you make this hot pot?" Xiao Shuyue felt Xiao Wenjun's belated attentiveness, and a sense of superiority arose spontaneously. If the old lady is not here, you are still the same as before, staying with me honestly
Keep your head low in front of you.
Xiao Wenjun explained the method of making this hot pot in detail, then suddenly changed his subject: "The method of making this hot pot is similar, there is nothing unusual about it, but the ingredients are a bit rare."
"Oh! Tell me!" The others at the table were intrigued, and Xiao Shuyue also quietly pricked up her ears, but she was just eating meat to cover up her thirst for knowledge.
"Today, when I came back from my grandmother's house and passed by the back garden, I found a wild game, so I shot it, and that's how we got such a blessing." Xiao Wenjun looked at Xiao Shuyue, and Xiao Shuyue felt uncomfortable all over.
An ominous premonition quietly came to mind.
"This is strange. Our Xiao family is heavily guarded. How could wild game escape into my Xiao family? Is the princess mistaken?" someone asked.
"I thought so too, but after I shot it, I discovered that there was actually a golden bell hidden under the fur of the game's neck!"
Xiao Shuyue's eyes widened when she heard this, and the bowl and chopsticks unconsciously slipped from her hands and shattered on the floor.
"Second Miss, Bai Ling has been found!" Hongdou rushed over recklessly, shouting as she ran, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she was holding a white thing in her hand.
Hongdou ran too fast and tripped over the threshold. The object in his hand flew out and hit Xiao Shuyue's head with a pop.
Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a piece of white fox fur that had just been peeled off, and it was still stained with blood! The body that had warmed up while eating hot pot felt a cold wind blowing through it, and the pores all over the body froze.
