Outsiders of Mianjia Dyeing Workshop

Buqi was packing up in Zhuangzi's inner courtyard, and after returning the things she had brought, she found that Mianli, who had been obstructing her all along, had disappeared.

Bu Qi wiped the perspiration from her head with a handkerchief, thinking that just now she was pouring water for herself like a follower, and fanning the wind from time to time, and asked Yingcao who put an ice basin for the house next to her, "What are you doing?" But I saw your uncle."

Yingcao was startled when she heard that, she just took a few women to get ice from the ice cellar in Zhuangzi, so she couldn't care less about where Mianli was.

So Yingcao shook her head and said, "Little lady, I didn't see where my uncle is."

At this time, Xiao Yu who came in from outside giggled and said, "Little lady, Liu Ye is a bit tired watching you clean up the housework. It's also a bit hot today. I'm afraid you will suffer from heat stroke. No, I ran to the kitchen to make you something to eat." .”

Buqi was surprised when she heard this, and then looked into Xiaoyu's hand, only to see the icy smoothie with some red jam on it.

"What is this?" Buqi asked in surprise.

"Sand ice, Mr. Liu said this is smoothie, that is to crush the ice and sprinkle it with honey jam. This is a wild fruit that Mr. Liu specially asked Xiaoying to find on the mountain. Miss Liu, please try it." Xiao Yu put the sand on the ice. The ice was brought to the table, and the spoon was passed to Buqi. Buqi took it, scooped up a spoonful, and opened a small mouth to eat it. Instantly, a burst of ice and sweetness appeared, and the heat disappeared, and the sweet taste It pleased the taste buds again, making people unable to stop, so Buqi took another spoonful and ate it. After three spoonfuls, Buqi felt that the summer heat all over her body disappeared, and she felt much cooler. Unknowingly, a small bowl The smoothie was finished, and Buqi looked at the small bowl with some pity.

Bu Qi asked Xiao Yu, "Is there any more in the kitchen?"

"Yes, when I came here, Liu Ye had already taught the cook, and there should be a lot of them by now, but Liu Ye didn't let you eat more, saying that the cold weather is severe, and you can eat a bowl to cool off the heat, and eat more It's not good for your body." Xiao Yu said to Bu Qi.

Buqi didn't have anything to do, so she wondered, "Why doesn't she just sit in the room and read books? Yingcao, Xiaoyu, come, come and see with me."

As soon as Xiaoyu heard Buqi talk about the essays, she felt a lump in her heart. She knew that Buqi could do anything, but she didn't relax about Mianli's study. It took an hour to review the book before letting him rest.

Xiaoyu saw that Buqi had already left the house with Yingcao, she hurriedly followed, thinking in her heart that her master must not make Liu Niangzi angry.

Buqi brought Yingcao and Xiaoyu to the kitchen, and heard Mianli's voice: "Yes, just stir fry like this, it should be ready soon, sprinkle salt." After hearing this, Buqi opened the curtain and just Seeing Mianli standing in front of the big stove directing a cook to turn the frying spoon, looking at the big black iron pot, Buqi was puzzled, it was the first time she saw it, and so was the frying spoon.

"Li'er, what are you doing here if you don't go to review your books?" Buqi asked questioningly when she came up.

"Um, I saw that my wife is working hard, so I want to come to the kitchen and make some delicious food for her." Mianli said with a smile.

"But the sage said, the gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Is it right for you to follow the teachings of the literary sage?" Buqi said a little angrily.The kitchen was filled with smoke and the smell of oily smoke was heavy, and because Mianli had done something, a few strands of her hair fell out of her hat, and there was a gray stain on her face. Buqi was very angry when she saw her not cherishing herself so much.

Mianli heard Buqi's voice which had been a few degrees colder, walked a few steps hurriedly, turned around after thinking about it and said to the cook, "Okay, it's ready to cook."

Mianli walked up to Buqi, and just reached out her hand to shake Buqi, when she saw that there was oil stain on her hand, she put it down slowly, took out a handkerchief and wiped it again and again, feeling uncomfortable. It was almost time, and I went to shake Bu Qi's hand. Bu Qi looked at it and hurried away, and said in a cold voice: "Mother-in-law let us come here, just let me urge you to read more books, you are so indifferent, obsessed Eating food, greedy for enjoyment, if you fail in the autumn test, how can I face the mother-in-law who entrusted you to me?"

Mianli hurriedly shook her head and shook her hands: "Qi'er, you're serious, it's just a meal. I'll go to review the book in the afternoon, don't worry."

Buqi looked at Mianli who was in a hurry to explain, thinking that the first day her family moved here, the house was also in a hurry, and there was no quiet environment, Mianli's behavior was justifiable: "Only for one day, if there is another time, you will Study for an extra hour in the study every day."

Mianli looked at Buqi's firm look, and knew that she couldn't tell Buqi apart at this moment, so she nodded. Seeing that Mianli was like this, Mianli calmed down: "Look at your filthy appearance, don't you think you're not good enough?" Go back to the room with me and wash up." Bu Qi took the handkerchief and wiped her small face in the cotton.

Mianli's face wrinkled, and Buqi let go of her grip.

Feeling Buqi's gentleness, Mianli jumped for joy, and said sweetly, "My lady, you are so kind! I am so happy."

"Hmph, poor-mouthed, wait until you don't study hard, and see how I punish you. See if you still say I'm good!" Bu Qi frowned and said coldly.

"Okay, that's good too, no matter how good a lady is, I'd love it!" Mianli said with a stick.

Looking at the faceless and skinless Mianli, Buqi felt a little powerless, she flicked her handkerchief to Mianli: "Wipe it by yourself, Yingcao, let's go." After speaking, Buqi took Yingcao out of the kitchen .

Mianli grabbed the handkerchief that Buqi threw on her face, looked at Xiaoyu who followed out at the end, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoyu, wait, help me get the food! Are you hungry at noon? You are starving to death .”

While talking, Mianli put the meals on the table next to her on the tray one by one, and said to Xiaoyu who was left behind because of her shouting: "Come on, take it to the backyard quickly, it won't taste good after a while gone."

Xiao Yu obediently carried a tray, and the remaining two trays were carried by two little girls, and they went back to the inner courtyard together.

"Miss, eat first, then clean up after eating." Mian Li just stepped into the door of the main room, and shouted towards the inside.

Seeing that there was no one in the main hall, Mianli lifted the curtain and looked at Buqi, who was fiddling with her books on the bookshelf by the window.Mianli looked at the bedroom that had been tidied up. The bed was similar to that of Denglan Pavilion, and it was also a canopy bed in the shape of a boudoir, but the couch that Buqi often sat on was much closer to the desk. Mianli knew in her heart that this was what Buqi wanted. Monitor yourself, except for these screens, the tables and chairs are similar to Denglan Pavilion.

"Qi'er, let's do it later, eat first, I'm so hungry." Mian Li patted her stomach.

Buqi took the book that Yingcao handed over again, and gave Mianli a white look: "What did I tell you before?"

Mianli scratched her head: "What did you say?"

Bu Qi snorted coldly: "Didn't I tell you to pack your own books by yourself, so that you won't find them when the time comes."

Mianli thought about it, when he was a follower just now, it seemed that Buqi had said something, but he was thinking about the iron pot that Xiaoying made, thinking about not being able to use the kitchen, and even more thinking about cooking, so he slipped into the kitchen.

Mian Li murmured, "Hey, isn't it to see that the lady is hot, I'll go get you some smoothie."

"Miss, how about Shabing?" Mianli walked up to Buqi and put the books on display. Because of Mianli's tall stature, the book that Buqi needed to put on her feet just now was placed in Mianli's place. The speed is also much faster, and a box of books is quickly placed.

Bu Qi replied: "If you want to eat in the future, just give the method to the kitchen and let the cook do it. You don't have to make outsiders laugh when you do it."

Mianli listened and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm like this today. Ma'am, I'm tired, go, I'll accompany you to eat." Saying this, Mianli took Buqi's hand and walked to the main hall, when the meals had already been arranged.

Bu Qi looked at the dining table, except for a vegetable soup that looked familiar to her, the other dried vegetables made her puzzled, but they all looked good in color.

"Usually mutton is stewed or roasted. This is scallion-stirred mutton. My wife has a taste. Is it to your liking." Said the scallion-stirred mutton with a chopstick in the cotton, and put it in the little butterfly in front of Buqi, Buqi nodded in surprise, picked it up with chopsticks, looked at it carefully and ate it in her mouth. The tender and smooth mutton occupied her taste buds for a while, and Buqi's eyes widened due to the deliciousness.

"How is it?" Mianli took a sip, feeling normal, after all, the seasoning was missing, thinking about waiting for Tu Lude to come over one day to ask about the seasoning.

"Yeah, it's delicious. It's tender but not rotten. It's chewy and delicious. It's delicious." Buqi nodded in affirmation.

Mianli shook happily, scooped up the soup and handed it to Bu Qi: "Qi'er, take a sip of the soup first, to change the feeling in your mouth, and then try this stir-fried cabbage."

Buqi nodded, drank two mouthfuls of soup, waited until the smell of mutton in her mouth was diluted, and ate it with chopsticks. Buqi's taste has always been light, and this dish suits her taste. She squinted her eyes : "It's delicious." After speaking, he picked up another chopstick, and then saw Mianli put a bowl of white rice in front of him.Buchi looked at her.

"I asked Xiaoying to buy it specially. We are used to eating soup cakes here. How about you try the rice from the south." As he spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of special chicken soup and poured it over, then looked at Buqi with bright eyes.

Buqi nodded, lowered her head and scooped the soup-drenched rice with a spoon, chewed it lightly, and the instant taste conquered her: "Sweet and delicious, with a grainy texture, delicious."

Before Mianli could ask, Buqi said by herself, and then ate a few mouthfuls. Before Mianli was poured with soup, she poured it on the rice and ate it by herself, and then saw a red croquette appearing in front of her eyes.

"River prawn balls are very fresh, my lady." Mianli smiled.

Buqi no longer doubts whether this food is delicious, but is curious about how delicious it is.She took a bite of a river prawn ball, which was just enough for her to eat. It was delicious and crispy. Buqi didn't know which dish to pick up, so she just picked them up in the cotton, and she picked up whatever Buqi saw.

Buqi has a small appetite, even though it was delicious, she didn't eat much. When she was full, she looked at Mianli suspiciously: "Why don't you eat?"

"Looking at the lady's beauty, it's delicious." Mianli said with a smile, making Buqi's face blush.
