Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 27 Family Letter
In the early morning, when the first ray of rosy clouds fell, Gu Xiang got up early and went to the big kitchen in Huotouying.

Reach out and dig out a piece of marinated minced meat, spread it on the risen dough, knead it again and flatten it, spread a layer of base oil in the pan, and fry it slowly over low heat.

In about ten minutes, a pot of golden meat biscuits came out of the pot hot.

Gu Xiang looked at it and was very satisfied. For many years, she didn't like to eat bread for breakfast, she drank milk, but liked to eat noodles in wonton soup and meat pies. Now she can make good pancakes, and the taste is no worse than that of pastry chefs outside.

Li Sheng followed Zhao Ying for three steps, and stood not far behind the queue. It was already cool at this moment, Zhao Ying was wearing a cloak that could cover half of his face, and his gaze fell on Gu Xiang...'s hand They didn't leave each other, and took two steps slightly to the side, and Li Sheng hurriedly followed suit.

Zhao Ying: "Stay away from me."

Li Sheng: "!?"

"Smelly." Zhao Ying uttered the word from the crack of his lips with a straight face.

Li Sheng: "..."

He backed away silently, but couldn't help rolling his big eyes. After hearing the message from Miss Gu last night, he rearranged the patrol routes of the soldiers overnight, deliberately reserved gaps, and blocked the back door to wait for the rabbits. , Sure enough, Cuilan was caught.

To be cautious, he didn't sleep the whole night, sitting in the dungeon for interrogation overnight, and nearly eight generations of Cuilan's ancestors were interrogated.

The Duke of the State still hated Cuilan for making him unable to eat mutton, and repeatedly hinted that something must be interrogated, which made it difficult for him to have a peaceful night.

After the interrogation, people had to be dispatched overnight to monitor the unrest in the army and send a letter to the capital. This morning I didn't have time to wash and change clothes, so I just practiced a set of boxing according to the habit, and hurried to this man's side as an errand.

He worked so hard, not to mention twice the reward, but to complain about him, hehe.

One day, their grandpa was beaten up in a sack, and the murderer would never be found.

Soon, Li Sheng, like the soldiers waiting to be fed, could not help but focus on Gu Xiang. A beauty paired with delicious food is definitely more worthy of attention than a big man.

The golden biscuits came out of the pot, Li Sheng hurriedly greeted them a few steps, took the food box specially sent by A Feng, opened it first, took out one, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

The sesame seed cakes are crispy on the outside, but the taste is not weak at all, it is very refreshing, the meat is not greasy, and it is full of fragrance.

Li Sheng nodded, this morning meal was definitely up to standard.

Yesterday Miss Gu limped Cuilan effortlessly and pushed her into a trap, but today she was able to get rid of her distracting thoughts and still start eating in a steady manner. She is so unafraid, this person will become a great weapon in the future.

"cough!"

Zhao Ying glared angrily.

Li Sheng smiled, not only did not hand it over, but also took a delicious mouthful of sesame seed cakes, and picked up the corn and fish porridge in the bowl, and drank it slowly with great enjoyment.

Zhao Ying: "..."

"Keep things simple when you're away from home, and leave the drug testing to me in the future. Don't worry, I will definitely help you try it seriously."

Li Sheng laughed.

Just as Zhao Ying was about to sneer, Gu Xiang raised his head and glanced this way. He immediately stopped talking, raised his head slightly, and stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes.

The crowd was so crowded that Gu Xiang couldn't see the distance clearly at all. At this time, Wang Zhixian came to the front. Gu Xiang saw that he was panting and seemed to be very tired, so he pulled out a bench for him to sit on, and poured him another bowl of fruit dew.

Satisfied with the drink, Wang Zhixian recited the words he had pondered for several days in his heart over and over again, and then said to Gu Xiang with a smile: "Sanniang, there is a nephew in my uncle's family who was just selected as a scholar last year. He looks good and has a good temperament. Fang is a very good boy, but he is twenty-five this year, and he is a little older..."

Gu Xiang smiled and handed him a small dish of mung bean cake.

The sweetness of the mung bean cake is just right, and Wang Zhixian's stomach full of words made this pastry go back, but—"Well, it's delicious!"

Wang Zhixian ate two pieces of mung bean cake the size of a thumb belly in one sitting. Naturally, it was not enough, but it is good to taste desserts.

"Sanniang, don't let your craft go to waste."

He began to worry that Gu Xiang would no longer be able to enjoy her craft after leaving the Yongyi Army.

After eating the snacks, Wang Zhixian packed two big meat pancakes. Just as he left the queue, he bumped into Mr. An. Gongdao: "Young princes don't need to be too polite."

It was a soft voice.

Huh?
Wang Zhixian raised his head to meet Zhao Ying's indescribably soft smiling face, his head was full of confusion, and he straightened up in a daze. Seeing that Duke An actually smiled at him, his heart thumped several times.

From this to Shouling, Wang Zhixian and him also looked up and looked down, and what they enjoyed was always a coldness without warmth.

"The prince stayed up late again last night? Work is work, don't work too hard."

Zhao Ying comforted Wang Zhixian with gentle words, and ordered Li Sheng to send him a few steps.

Wang Zhixian: "...Did the Duke take the wrong medicine?"

Li Sheng laughed.

In the past few days, the Duke of his family has repeatedly asked his subordinates to investigate whether Miss Gu has relatives or friends in the army.

Wangzhi County is impressively at the top of the list.

Thinking of this, Li Sheng naturally understood why the Duke was so polite. He clearly suspected that Wang Zhixian and others were gossiping in front of Miss Gu, saying that he was right and wrong, so he pretended to ease the relationship at this moment.

Zhao Ying and Wang Zhixian each had careful thoughts, and each other was a little wary. Li Sheng had just sent Wang Zhixian a few steps, and suddenly saw Ah Feng running all the way, shouting as he ran: "Gu Chu, there is a young man outside, called Zhou Dong’s is said to be from Gu Zhuang, who was entrusted by your father to deliver a letter to you.”

Swish, Wang Zhixian's footsteps stopped, and Zhao Ying's eyes narrowed slightly. In the kitchen, from the chef to the helper to the handyman, they all turned their heads to look at it. Ah Feng was stared at by countless eyes, and he was startled—" belch! '

Gu Xiang blinked, put down the long chopsticks first, and told Lao Du to watch the stove for her, then stepped out and walked out of the fence where the kitchen was.

As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Dong standing neatly not far away, with two baskets on his shoulders, he seemed a little restrained, but his back was straight and he didn't shrink back.

When Zhou Dong saw Gu Xiang, he breathed a sigh of relief, then his face turned red, and he was a little surprised.

The young lady of the Gu family has really changed a lot.

He had known that Miss Gu's appearance was very good, but at that time she still had a bit of village air, now...he couldn't say it, he just felt that Miss Gu's face was so white that it was shining, she was like a fairy.

Gu Xiang smiled, walked over to thank you first, and then asked: "How are my parents? How is my grandfather? Is everything in the family safe and sound?"

Zhou Dong hurriedly explained the situation of the Gu family.

"Grandma Zhang took Erniang's sister and two brothers, Shiro and Goro, back to the village yesterday."

At the end of the sentence, Zhou Dong hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know the specific situation, I only heard that Erniang's sister seems to be sick."

His words were a bit tactful. Gu Xiang opened the letter from home. The letter was written by his father, but it was written by his grandfather. Apart from asking her about her situation, the one who talked most about her was her second cousin, bluntly saying that she was crazy and talking nonsense all day long. Nonsense, not only that Gu Xiang is dead, but also that there will be a military turmoil in Shouling after March, and Guzhuang will be almost turned into scorched earth, with corpses everywhere, and epidemics will occur frequently.

Gu Xiang read the letter, but felt that the second cousin's illness was a bit interesting: "Grandmother came back after visiting relatives for many days. I should go home to see her. I also ask Brother Zhou and Xiao Hou for a while, so I will go to ask for leave."
