Madam, let's steam buns together

"good idea!"

In special circumstances, this special method can only be used temporarily, but if you ask a few more people to help you sell buns, there should be a surplus in terms of income and expenditure.

Yang Dabao quickly asked: "If I ask them to help, how much should I pay them for manpower? I have never asked a man to help, so I don't know the price."

"They work under my father, and they already have a good salary. If you are really sorry, you can treat them to buns for a few days. Our family may not have anything else, and buns are enough."

Yang Dabao was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head embarrassingly: "This is not very good."

"What's so embarrassing." Zhang Huaruo has completely regarded Yang Dabao as his family in the bottom of his heart, and he naturally thinks about Yang Dabao's interests, "They took my father's money to protect us, and they are the ones who do things for us. What you should do, don't think so much."

Zhang Huaruo got up and walked in front of Yang Dabao, only he knew how scared he was when he saw Luo Situ attacking Yang Dabao with killing intent.

Raising his hand to caress Yang Dabao's side face, he gently stroked his warm cheek with his thumb. Yang Dabao looked up at Zhang Huaruo, not understanding why Zhang Huaruo's mood suddenly fell so much.

Zhang Huaruo suddenly said: "Dabao, take a good bath tonight."

Yang Dabao responded subconsciously in bewilderment: "Ah?" He takes a good bath every day, why does Madam still say that, as if he doesn't take a good bath often.

Zhang Huaruo lowered his brows, and he was too embarrassed to say something clearly, but just explained a little: "You always wash with cold water, this time there is a room specially used for bathing, take a good bath with hot water, okay? If you agree, I'll send someone to prepare."

Yang Dabao originally thought that there was no need to go through so much trouble. He often washes in cold water, and cold water can wash it very clean, but he couldn't say anything when he refused. Looking at Zhang Huaruo's appearance at this moment, it seems that I vaguely guessed that the hot bath tonight might not be just a hot bath.

The Adam's apple moved slightly, and Yang Dabao said, "Okay."

Zhang Huaruo raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Well, I'll let someone prepare it."

Yang Dabao looked at the back of Zhang Huaruo leaving, and thought with some anticipation: Madame wants to rub his back personally and wait for him to bathe and change clothes tonight, right?Am looking forward to!

At this time, Dabao didn't know that what Zhang Huaruo wanted to do for him was far more exciting than rubbing his back.

It is impossible for Luo Situ to go directly to Yang Dabao's troubles, and Zhang Xieyi can't continue to sit idly by. After Luo Situ returned to the prime minister's residence, Zhang Xieyi gave him a small punishment.

For tonight's dinner, Luo Situ only had a few big white flour buns, and a bowl of vegetable soup with a few pieces of tofu and spinach floating in front of him. Luo Situ couldn't believe that they dared to prevaricate him openly, so he Prepare such a dinner for him, and immediately want to flip the table.

The old butler at the side looked calm, and explained before Luo Situ launched an attack: "My master said that Mr. Luo is a distinguished guest from a neighboring country, and he must not be neglected. He wants to entertain you with the best food in the house, so I give it to you. These two dishes are prepared."

Luo Situ pointed at the white bread and vegetable soup and sneered: "That's all, how dare you say it's the best food in the house?"

The old housekeeper picked up a white bun on the table, broke it open in front of Luo Situ, and revealed the yellow cornmeal steamed bun inside, plausibly said: "This is a famous delicacy unique to my dynasty, called Baozhongbao, choose the best Made of wheat flour and corn flour, it is fragrant on the outside and even more fragrant on the inside, it is excellent for entertaining distinguished guests.”

...It turns out that this white bun that looks like a bun is not a bun, but a steamed bun!Even if there is a small cornmeal steamed bun inside, it is still a steamed bun, what an amazing taste it can taste!

The expression on Luo Situ's face became more and more ugly. He pointed to the clear vegetable soup, gritted his teeth and asked the old housekeeper: "What about this, isn't this a soup made with a few rotten vegetable leaves and white tofu? Treat guests like this?"

As he said that, he took a sip and smashed the spoon angrily, "It's still cold!"

"Your Excellency Luo doesn't know, this is also a high-grade vegetable soup specially used to entertain distinguished guests in our prime minister's mansion. Locking the most authentic nutrition in vegetable leaves and tofu, it is both delicious and healthy. If it is not for entertaining distinguished guests like Mr. Luo, the chefs in our mansion will not cook this dish easily. Mr. Luo, please don’t let us down ah."

The old butler Weiwei blessed himself, as sincere as he could be.

Luo Situ was so angry that he threw the teacup at his hand directly at the old butler, who caught it easily, without even letting half of the tea in the cup leak out.

Just this show of his hand made Luo Situ understand that this old man was not an ordinary old housekeeper.

Putting the teacup back to Luo Situ's hand, the old housekeeper took a few steps back: "I won't bother Mr. Luo to enjoy the food. I wish you a good meal tonight. If you don't have enough for the kitchen, just ask your servants to continue."

Looking at the steamed buns and cold vegetable soup in front of him, Luo Situ certainly didn't believe the old butler's words, not a single word, and he would never obediently eat such a poor meal.

"Cut, childish."

However, he was not so ignorant that he would take the initiative to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion just because of such a trivial matter, even if he delivered a meal that he couldn't swallow.

Luo Situ took a last look at the steamed buns and vegetable soup, got up decisively and left, sneaked into the kitchen of the prime minister's mansion in the dark, and found several dishes kept warm in the pot in the kitchen: roast duck, mandarin fish, sauced beef etc.

He directly took these few dishes, scooped up a bowl of white rice and returned to his room, and began to feast on it.

When he had almost eaten, he lay down contentedly and prepared to go to bed. His stomach began to ache, as if something was twisting his stomach inside. The pain was unbearable. He glanced at the few dishes on the table that he had eaten, and his brain Li suddenly reacted.

Oops, I fell into the trap set by that old fox!

There was no problem with the dishes prepared for him tonight. The steamed buns and vegetable soup were both edible, but these dishes in the kitchen probably had some medicine on them, and they were just waiting for Luo Situ to pick them up.

The old fox knew that Luo Situ would never eat the steamed bun vegetable soup he sent, but Luo Situ is not a fairy in the sky so he can skip eating, and he will definitely go to the kitchen to find food. Luo Situ will obediently eat these drugged dishes if he tampers with them.

Luo Situ covered his aching stomach with one hand, and slammed the bed below him with the other, splitting a crack in the bed.

I just don't know what kind of poison that old thing gave him. I think it shouldn't be serious enough to kill him, but it won't make him feel better either.

The stomach hurts so badly, the facial features on Luo Situ's face couldn't help but get tangled together, he stood up patiently and prepared to call his entourage, let them go and find a reliable doctor for him, absolutely not use the prime minister's mansion to give him Arranged doctor.

At the same time, in the other courtyard where Zhang Huaruo and Yang Dabao temporarily lived.

The bath pool made of high-quality white jade is steaming, and the maid is standing by the pool, pouring the boiled medicinal soup into it.

The amount of medicinal soup is not much, and it dissipated after being mixed with the original hot water in the pool, but the medicinal fragrance in the hot air proves that it still exists, waiting to moisten people who will enter the bath later.

After the maids arranged everything in the house, they retreated to the door together, and when the uncle entered, they closed the door and left.

Yang Dabao walked in alone, and was slightly disappointed not to see Zhang Huaruo. He originally thought that Zhang Huaruo would come to help him, but it turned out that he was just thinking too much.

Silently spit on himself: "Dabao, Dabao, what are you thinking, Hua Ruo has been the young master of a rich family since he was a child, how could he do such things as serving people in the bath, you, just because Hua Ruo treats you well on weekdays , even dare to imagine such a thing.”

Taking off his clothes and hanging them on a special shelf, Yang Dabao walked out from behind the huge screen, and stared at the bathtub in front of him in a daze.

so big!

Yang Dabao had never bathed in such a big bathtub, he was a little curious and excited, he put his feet in tentatively, the water was just right.

Can't wait to go down into the water, the hot water temperature seems to open the pores of Yang Dabao's body at once, the water flow takes out the tiredness and filth accumulated in the daily life, and the essence of the medicinal materials mixed in the water flow slowly penetrates into the blood vessels, Extremely comfortable.

After washing his body for a while, Yang Dabao leaned against the edge of the bath. There is a special design underwater here, allowing Yang Dabao to sit comfortably here, resting his hands on the edge of the bath at will, raising his head and closing his eyes to enjoy the heat of the moment. bath.

It turns out that taking a hot bath is such a comfortable thing.

The half-closed door seemed to be blown open by the wind, Yang Dabao felt a cool wind blowing in from the outside, but it disappeared soon, as if the passing maid had closed the door again.

Yang Dabao closed his eyes again, and couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.

Hearing Madam's words is indeed true, it's good to take such a bath once in a while, and I heard from them that the hot water is also added with medicinal soup, which is very good for the body.

only……

Isn't it a bit wasteful to let him use such a large pool of water? It would be nice for the wife to take a dip too. Since medicinal baths are good for the body, the wife should come to soak more.

Yang Dabao didn't notice that there was an extra figure on the other side of the screen behind him, and there was also an extra set of clothes on the shelf where he put his clothes.

Stepping around gently, the heat steamed out a vast expanse of whiteness, allowing Yang Dabao to see clearly the things within two meters nearby, and the other side of the bath was a vast expanse of whiteness, hazy and unrecognizable.

It seemed that there was a slight sound of water like a person entering the water, and it was also like an auditory hallucination. Yang Dabao was a little lazy from the steam at the moment, so he didn't pay attention to these subtle sounds.

The water rippled slightly, coming from the other side of the bath, Yang Dabao couldn't pretend that he didn't notice it, and opened his eyes to look there.

There was nothing in the hazy mist, but the water in the bath was getting more and more rippling.

With a crash, a person suddenly appeared under the water one meter away. Yang Dabao, who had been paying close attention to the movement in the hot air above the bathing pool, was taken aback. Both time and space stood still in an instant.

Only that place is not stagnant.

Zhang Huaruo's upper body came out of the water, the hot water wet his loose black hair, and as he got out of the water, it was tightly attached to his body, the black color made his fair skin more crystal clear.

He was breathing with his head up, obviously the diving had consumed a lot of air in his lungs, and he needed to replenish it in time.

After breathing smoothly, Zhang Huaruo lowered his head slowly, put his gaze on Yang Dabao, and smiled at him.

There were drops of water slowly flowing down the well-shaped neck, flowing over the collarbone, passing along the chest, and slowly falling into the water, where no trace could be found.

Yang Dabao's gaze followed the water drop all the way down, looking at the invisible but infinitely imaginative part hidden under the water, he couldn't help swallowing, his Adam's apple rolled, his mouth was dry.

Zhang Huaruo swam closer to Yang Dabao, dived into the water again when it was about half a meter away, and when it appeared, it almost appeared close to Yang Dabao's face, the beautiful picture wet by hot water The face is close at hand, and it is a bit more handsome than what I usually see.

What's going on, why is the water in the bath getting hotter and hotter, he can hardly breathe.

Yang Dabao looked at Zhang Huaruo stupidly, his eyeballs moved slightly, but he didn't dare to move his body.

Under the water, Zhang Huaruo's hand came over and accidentally touched Yang Dabao's waist. Yang Dabao reacted violently as if he had been stung by something, breathing heavily and wanting to escape, but he was reluctant to escape.

Zhang Huaruo's lightly joking laughter came from his ears, and there was no malice in it, but he thought Yang Dabao's reaction was cute and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Pressing a switch on the wall of the bath with your fingers, a small opening suddenly opened at the edge of the bath, revealing a jar of rice wine and two wine cups hidden inside.

Yang Dabao heaved a long sigh of relief, it turned out that he was looking for a trick, not deliberately teasing him to touch his waist, he relaxed a little and was no longer so nervous.

Zhang Huaruo took out the wine cup and poured two small cups of rice wine on it. The red liquid fell into the ceramic wine cup, and the red was extremely gorgeous.

Handing the wine cup to Yang Dabao, Zhang Huaruo said softly, "Drink it, a cup of rice wine is a must for medicinal bathing, it can help your body absorb the traditional Chinese medicine in the water faster."

Yang Dabao didn't understand these things, but as long as Zhang Huaruo said it, Yang Dabao was willing to believe it, took the wine cup and drank it down.

Zhang Huaruo couldn't stop it in time, Yang Dabao looked at Zhang Huaruo's reaction, and knew that he probably made a mistake: "...can't drink it all in one sitting?"

Zhang Huaruo shook his head and said it's okay: "It's okay, it's okay to drink it in one breath, but it's better to drink it slowly, I'll pour you another glass, this time you have to drink it slowly."

The tone of his speech seemed to be coaxing a three-year-old child, Yang Dabao lowered his head and smiled with his cheeks burning.

Uh...he seems a little drunk, but he has always held a good amount of alcohol, and he will never get drunk just because of a small glass of rice wine, but his heartbeat is so fast, it really seems to be a sign of drunkenness, or should I say it.

——Alcohol does not intoxicate people, but people intoxicate themselves.

"Ma'am, you want to come to take a bath together, why don't you tell me in advance? We can come in together."

After taking the second glass of rice wine, Yang Dabao looked at Zhang Huaruo, trying to keep his eyes on Zhang Huaruo's face, not to go down.

Zhang Huaruo explained: "The water temperature that is just right for you is too hot for me. I can only wait for you to soak for a while before the water temperature drops a bit. Even at this temperature, I can't soak here for a long time, or I will pass out. .”

Will faint?so serious!

Yang Dabao hurriedly wanted Zhang Huaruo to leave, but Zhang Huaruo didn't care and said, "It's okay, with the current water temperature, I can stay a little longer."

Zhang Huaruo didn't take a sip of the rice wine in his hand before, but after saying this, he took a shallow sip, as if he was looking for wine to give him courage, one sip after another.

The color of the thin lips is not too red, steamed by the heat at the moment, it is more like a cherry-like pink, sipping the white side of the cup.

Yang Dabao didn't dare to look any further, and hastily looked away.

Zhang Huaruo put the wine cup, which was only one-third drunk, back on the floor at the edge of the bath. He looked at Yang Dabao, who was pretending to look around, with a gentle smile on his face.

That's enough, since it's something I've made up my mind to do a long time ago, why bother to be reluctant to let it go before the battle, so I won't be Zhang Huaruo.

He moved a little closer to Yang Dabao, and now the two were really close. Zhang Huaruo moved a little closer and whispered in Yang Dabao's ear, even though there was no Outsiders exist and cannot be heard by others.

"Dabao, you have been accumulating desires for too long, let me help you relax."

Yang Dabao's ears turned red, but it wasn't because he understood Zhang Huaruo's words, but because Zhang Huaruo was too close and whispered next to his ear.

Looking at his reaction, Zhang Huaruo knew that Yang Dabao didn't understand what he was going to do, shook his head and sighed, and didn't intend to get Yang Dabao's answer, and directly used actions to explain to Yang Dabao what he was going to do.

Long and slender fingers touched it tremblingly. In Yang Dabao's unbelievably wide eyes, Zhang Huaruo wrapped one hand around Yang Dabao's neck and stretched out the other under the water.

The swaying arm swayed circle after circle of ripples, completely disrupting Yang Dabao's thoughts. He tilted his head and looked at the ripples on the water surface, feeling that he was about to melt into Zhang Huaruo's hands.

It's a feeling I've never felt before, like a kitten scratching someone, scratching your heart.

The beating pulse was so clear, Zhang Huaruo knew that it was almost the same time, so he changed his hand to speed up, Yang Dabao couldn't hold back, he hugged Zhang Huaruo tightly, pressed his face into Zhang Huaruo's neck, and finally deeply Take a sip of Zhang Huaruo's neck.

Zhang Huaruo lowered his hands, Ren Yang Dabao hugged him quietly, and said softly: "Sorry, I can only do so much now."

Yang Dabao held back his voice for too long, and suddenly opened his mouth to speak in a muffled voice: "It's enough."

After lingering together for a while, Zhang Huaruo quietly raised his hand to hold down the position of his heart that was beginning to feel strange, and quickly withdrew from Yang Dabao's arms, turning his back to Yang Dabao and said, "I'm done washing, let's go out first, you... Don't stay here too long."

Yang Dabao thought he was being shy, and Zhang Huaruo said earlier that he couldn't stay in the hot bath for long, so he nodded to express his understanding.

Reluctantly watching Zhang Huaruo leave all the way.

Zhang Huaruo pretended nothing happened, put on his clothes quickly and ran out, when he came to a place where Yang Dabao could never see or hear, his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground, clutching his chest and curled up into a ball.

Lycium barbarum noticed the movement here, and ran over quickly. Seeing that Zhang Huaruo's clothes were still wet and sticking to his body, he quickly took off his own clothes and wrapped them around Zhang Huaruo: "Master, can you still go?"

Zhang Huaruo nodded with difficulty, stood up slowly with the help of wolfberries, and walked slowly towards the bedroom. Zhang Huaruo looked through the eaves of the corridor and saw the bright moon hanging there, all pale.

After helping Zhang Huaruo into the house, Gouqizi complained to Zhang Huaruo distressedly: "Young master, I told you that you can't soak for so long, why are you still in it for so long!"

Zhang Huaruo leaned against the side of the bed with a smile on his face: "You don't understand medlar, the time in it is very long, a moment is as long as a whole year, how can I count how long I stayed in it?" Woolen cloth."

Wolfberry muttered: "Yes, yes, I don't understand, but I know that everything should not be too forceful!"

Zhang Huaruo responded lightly: "But, I really want to force him."
