The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 57 A bowl of fragrant noodles
Li Xiaoxin asked Pei Zhiqi to fetch pen and ink, as well as two pieces of paper, and then wrote a bunch of flamboyant characters on each of the two pieces of paper.

After finishing writing, he carefully folded the two pieces of paper, stuffed them into Pei Zhiqi's arms, and said: "I wrote you two prescriptions, prescription A is for long-term conditioning, and this prescription is slow to take effect, but the effect is permanent. Yes, when to start drinking, when to stop, and how long a cycle is, I wrote it all; Fang B is only used for menstruation, when the pain is so painful that it can’t be helped, and it’s used for pain relief. Don’t take it at ordinary times, understand? ?”

Pei Zhiqi hurriedly put away Fangzi and nodded, "Understood, thank you brother."

After writing the prescription, Li Xiaoxin patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, leaned closer and whispered: "My own sister, the consultation fee will be half of the normal price for you, five silver coins, you go to my shop to get the medicine, and the medicine fee is half the price, how about it?" , Interesting enough? But there is a condition, this consultation fee is my private income, and my wife cannot let it know, you have to keep it a secret for me, don't tell it. "

After hearing this, Pei Zhiqi understood what his brother meant, and he chuckled lightly: "I understand, I won't talk too much. But you can take as much as you want for the consultation fee and medicinal materials. I have asked my brother to help find a house before, and I have no time to thank you in the future." , how can I ask my brother to charge less than half of the consultation fees and medicinal materials.”

Then he took out a tael of silver and handed it to Li Xiaoxin. Li Xiaoxin was polite and put it in his arms.

Li Xiaoxin sighed and said, "I shouldn't charge money for my sister's diagnosis and treatment, but I also have my own difficulties. Hey! Every family has a hard-to-read scripture!"

He patted Pei Zhiqi's shoulder again and said sympathetically, "Brother-in-law, you and Xiaodao are too, it's too difficult!"

After saying that, Li Xiaoxin got up and prepared to go back. Before leaving, he looked up at the upstairs and sighed softly.

Although he didn't understand what his elder brother meant by "too difficult", Pei Zhiqi saw that his elder brother cared about his sister but stopped moving forward, so he asked, "Aren't you going upstairs to see your wife? Do you have something to say, elder brother?"

Li Xiaoxin shook his head helplessly: "I can't go up, I can't help her with that job, I came to see if I was worried, if you are at home, you should be fine. Coax her well, live a good life, if you have any unspeakable difficulties, you can do it Don’t have any scruples when looking for me, you know? The most important thing is to live a happy life, and face is all empty. If you figure it out, you must come to Baihetang to find me.”

The first half of what my brother said was simple and easy to understand, but it took a while for Pei Zhiqi to understand what my brother was still misunderstanding.

Forget it, he said with a helpless chuckle, "Brother, please run, I will take good care of my wife."

Li Xiaoxin nodded, went out and turned right to go home.

Pei Zhiqi took Fang Zi out of his arms to look at it again, and smiled in relief.

I hope this prescription can relieve my wife's suffering.

When it was almost evening, Li Xiaodao came out of the room and cheered up to cook noodles for Xianggong.

She had only eaten in the middle of the afternoon, and she wasn't hungry at all, so she planned to cook enough for her husband, and if she was hungry at night, she would just have a snack.

What kind of noodles should I cook... let's make a bowl of oil-splashed noodles!Just enough to use the little chili noodles I tossed out before.

After returning from Fucheng last time, Li Xiaodao collected some red peppers in the village that others planted in the fields or in the yard, only to watch and not eat, picked them back and hung them in the yard, and put them into the iron pot after they were dried. Dry frying. When frying, the fire should not be too high to avoid frying. When the peppers are fried dry and crisp without moisture, put them into a mill and grind them into powder, and the pepper noodles are ready!I only collected a little bit after hard work, and I brought it with me when I came to the provincial capital this time.

She still remembers that when the chili was fried that day, the whole family was choked to tears. Even the husband couldn't stand it and kept sneezing.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiaodao's mouth unknowingly.

Xianggong was reading a book in the study, and she didn't speak. When Xianggong saw her, she smiled as a greeting, and then walked towards the kitchen.

The oil-splashed wide noodles are more delicious. Li Xiaodao kneads the noodles first, adding a little salt to the water so that the noodles will be chewy.

She kneaded the dough softer, and after kneading it, she put it in a basin to wake it up for a while, and then took the time to wash the shallots, mushrooms, and green leafy vegetables that she couldn't name.

After the vegetables were washed and cut, they were put aside first, and she handled the dough again, kneading the dough a little longer, dividing it into equal parts with a knife, and kneading each divided dough into about ten centimeters long and two centimeters in diameter In the form of strips, apply a layer of oil on each strip, stack them up one by one, and buckle them with a basin.

Then fry the shallots and mushrooms, and then boil the water.

After the water boils, tear off the strips of dough one by one, shake them twice on the chopping board, continue to pull, and put them into the pot when the thickness is right.

At this time, use a small pot to burn a little hot oil on a small stove.

When the noodles are almost done, toss the leafy greens into the pot and cook for a while.

Put soy sauce, vinegar and other condiments on the bottom of the large bowl for eating noodles in advance, then scoop up the noodles and vegetables, and then sprinkle spice powder, salt, and a little chili powder on top of the noodles and vegetables.

I'm afraid that my husband won't be able to eat spicy food, so let's put some meaning into it, she thought as she put it down.

After the oil is boiled, don't pour the oil on it immediately, wait for the oil to cool a little before pouring it on, the taste will be better.

Hot oil is poured on the spices and chili noodles, making a sizzling sound, exuding a slightly choking peppery aroma.

Leave some oil in the oil-burning pan, and beat an egg in it to make a fried egg.

She mixed the noodles well, then put fried mushrooms on top, covered with a fried egg, and it was considered as a fried noodles.

Li Xiaodao brought the noodles into the hall, and at the same time told Xianggong to come and eat quickly.

It was getting dark, and she lit the oil lamp in the hall.

"Xianggong, eat it while it's hot, and the noodles will become mushy after a while." After lighting the lamp, Li Xiaodao sat down opposite to her. Seeing her, he smiled at her and said thank you. Then he picked up his chopsticks and stirred, and started Eat up.

"My lady is very skilled and tastes very good, and I didn't know that this pepper can be eaten like this when it is made into powder," Pei Zhiqi praised after tasting two mouthfuls.

But there is only one bowl of noodles, "Won't the lady eat it? Did you only cook one bowl?" Pei Zhiqi asked with concern.

Li Xiaodao propped his small face with both hands, and looked at Xianggong with a smile: "I only ate the lunch left by Xianggong in the middle of the afternoon, and I am not hungry at all now. I will have a snack when I am hungry at night. Xianggong continued to eat noodles, I want to watch my husband eat."

"This..." After hesitating for a while, Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll continue eating." After that, Pei Zhiqi picked another chopstick and continued to eat the noodles cooked by the lady.

Li Xiaodao finally understands why some people like to watch food and broadcasting. She is very happy to see that Xianggong eats deliciously. A bowl of fragrant noodles is steaming, reflecting Xianggong's handsome face, which is very eye-catching, but...

Just a little lingering trouble lingering in her heart.

My brother refused to tell me the recipe for avoiding the child, what should I do?Could it be that I have to wait a few more months before I can reconcile with my husband...can I think of other ways...

For Li Xiaodao at this moment, Xianggong is like a bowl of delicious noodles, which can only be seen but not eaten.

It's annoying.
