After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 35 Showing Your Craftsmanship

The bride came in to show off her skills. Although there were no elders above who needed to make rules for herself, Chen Xiuyan still went to the kitchen.

Luo Mingqing and Luo Mingxin were both in the kitchen, one was boiling hot water and the other was scooping up hot water. When they saw Chen Xiuyan come in, they all smiled and called, "Little aunt."

"Hey." Chen Xiuyan replied smoothly, without being pretentious at all, which made the impression of the two of them even better.

"Little aunt, I will show you the cellar and warehouse of our house first, and then I will give you the keys of the house." Luo Mingxin stood up from behind the stove, "From now on, my little aunt will be in charge of the house."

"Our uncle is the oldest, but he has no interest in common affairs. He used to worry about his parents when they were around. In recent years, my elder brother and I have been in charge of the house." Luo Mingxin sighed, "Oh, right, little aunt Your dowry is in the treasury except for the ones you need in the room, so go and check it out."

Luo Mingxin took Chen Xiuyan to see the Luo family.

Compared with her natal family's pinzi institution, Luo's house is more like a courtyard house, with houses on all sides, but it is more comfortable than a courtyard house because the yard is large, and the remaining space in the middle is large, so the lighting is good.

There are three rooms in the main courtyard, and there are two side rooms on both sides. Luo Wenqian lives in the room on the left, and the side room serves as a study, while the clean room is a small space separated from the room; The other party; the main room on the right is Luo Mingqing's room.

There are also three east and west wings, the kitchen is on the south side of the east wing, and the south side of the west wing is the hut.

"Little aunt, I live in the West Wing, and my second brother and younger brother live in the East Wing." Luo Mingxin introduced them one by one, "There are three rooms in the back seat, one is usually used by my uncle to receive guests, and the other two rooms are set up for relatives to visit later. Don’t worry about having no place to live.”

"There is a backyard at the back, and several rooms have been built for storerooms, and the cellar is also in the backyard." Luo Mingxin led Chen Xiuyan to the backyard.

The backyard occupies a large area and is paved with bluestone slabs like the front yard. There are three houses, with wooden sheds on both sides. The donkeys are grazing in the wooden shed near the back door, and the pigpen is on the other side. The Luo family raised two. pig.

There is no waste on both sides. One side is surrounded by land, and a low shed is built to raise chickens. When I came out, there was no bluestone slab, but a small vegetable garden was surrounded.

The whole is clean and substantial, and Chen Xiuyan likes it very much.

There are three rooms in the backyard, two are warehouses, and one is a firewood room. The cellar is dug under the firewood room.

"Little aunt, what shall we have for breakfast today?" Luo Mingxin held up an oil lamp to light up the cellar. The cellar was full of fine grains, coarse grains, bacon, vegetables...

"Make gnocchi soup, boil an egg for each person, and put some cornmeal pancakes on it." Chen Xiuyan said, and Luo Mingxin picked up the eggs by scooping up the noodles.

Passing by the backyard was Chen Xiuyan pulling a celery and green onions.

Although Chen Xiuyan's cooking skills are not as good as her second sister-in-law He's, but after so many days of immersion, she can be regarded as understanding.

Wash and chop the celery finely, sauté the celery with lard until fragrant, put the celery down and fry for a few times, then add water, pour in the flocculent noodles that have been opened by rubbing them with cold water, boil them, add salt and pour a little soy sauce, Finally, sprinkle chopped green onion, and the noodle soup comes out of the pot.

Luo Mingxin knew how to make eggs and cornmeal pancakes. There were two pots in the kitchen. When Chen Xiuyan was busy, she went to see Luo Mingxin next to her.

The cornmeal pancakes were of different thicknesses, Chen Xiuyan's mouth twitched as she watched, and she took over her work to knead the dough and paste the pancakes by herself, whether the food is delicious or not is also very important.

When all the pancakes were ready, Luo Mingxin actively filled up the pimple soup, carried them to the main room one by one, and shouted loudly, "Dinner is ready."

"My little aunt made it today, this pimple soup smells really good." Luo Mingxin praised Chen Xiuyan vigorously.

Everyone in the Luo family had arrived, and the juniors obediently called Auntie when they saw Chen Xiuyan. Chen Xiuyan found that the second child Luo Mingchu was the most indifferent to her, and the fourth child Luo Mingnian was the closest to her.

At the Eight Immortals table, Luo Wenqian invited Chen Xiuyan to sit next to him, at the main seat, with Luo Mingqing and Luo Mingchu on one side, and Luo Mingxin and Luo Mingnian on the opposite side.

"Little aunt, the noodle soup you made is so delicious." Luo Mingnian praised it while eating.

"Ming Nian, eat without talking." Luo Mingchu interrupted his younger brother's words, which also made the atmosphere at the dinner table quiet.

However, none of these affected Chen Xiuyan's appetite. I don't know if it was because of her cooking. Chen Xiuyan ate very deliciously. She ate two bowls of noodle soup, an egg and two cornmeal pancakes.

"咚咚-"

"Mingqing, come and open the door."

As soon as Chen Xiuyan put down her chopsticks, there was a loud shout from outside, accompanied by a vigorous knock on the door.

"It really lingers." Luo Mingqing rolled his eyes.

"Brother." Luo Mingchu frowned slightly, and looked at Luo Mingqing disapprovingly, "After all, you are an elder, you still have to save face, how can you say such things in front of so many people, if it spreads to other people's ears, yes Uncle is not good."

"Got it, got it." Luo Mingqing said impatiently, "The second brother is not telling you, you have to study hard, don't be stupid, you are even more boring than my uncle now."

"Uncle, the second grandpa's family must have come to drink tea with my nephew and daughter-in-law." Luo Mingqing was like a mirror in his heart, "Little aunt, if they make things difficult for you later, don't bear it. They ask you for gifts, and you don't give them. Not a serious elder."

Chen Xiuyan turned to look at Luo Wenqian, after all, he was the head of the family.

"There's no need to worry, and there's no need to offer tea to them. You should recognize your face." Luo Wenqian said.

Chen Xiuyan nodded with a smile, knowing it well.

Luo Mingqing happily went to open the door, while Luo Mingxin went to make tea. The visitor was a guest, so he still wanted a bowl of tea.

"Ming Nian, take your little aunt to deal with all the doors that should be closed and locked in the backyard. It will take a while for your elder brother to open the door." After Luo Wenqian explained, Luo Ming Nian Xing hurriedly dragged Chen Xiuyan away.

Luo Wenqian and Luo Mingchu were left in the main room at this time.

"Uncle, I too..."

"Wait a minute." Luo Wenqian called to stop Luo Mingchu, "Do you know why I left you alone to talk?"

Luo Mingchu lowered his head slightly, Luo Wenqian sighed upon seeing this.

Chen Xiuyan has good hearing, even if she goes out of the main room, she can still hear the conversation between her uncle and nephew as long as she listens attentively.

"You are stubborn, and you admit death. I have always told you that you need to know how to get along with a person. You can't hold grudges just because of some unfounded rumors."

"My name is little aunt."

"But why did you say that just now? You are afraid that what your family members say will spread, so you are worried about your little aunt, aren't you?"

"Uncle, I know what to do."

"Ah."
