Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Finally, Butler She took them to the kitchen, called out the cook and the kitchen lady to meet Xue Baobao one by one, and said, "The young master has ordered that from now on, everything in the kitchen, including the purchase and selection of ingredients, will be the sole responsibility of Xue Baobao." The girl is in charge.”

Xue Baobao nodded and added, "The big kitchen is a little far away after all. I wonder if it would be convenient to set up a small kitchen in the yard where I live.

In addition, I want to open up a small garden in my yard to grow some fruits and vegetables. Is it convenient? "

Butler She cupped her fists and saluted, "Of course it's convenient. My young master told me that if Miss Xue needs anything, just ask her directly, and my subordinates will do their best to do it."

Later, I will ask Miss Xue to make a list so that I can send people down the mountain to buy it."

Xue Baobao nodded. Seeing that she was fine, Butler She sent her and Yu Xin back to the yard and then left.

Xue Baobao and Yu Xin walked around the yard allocated to them by Baozhuang again, found pens, ink and other items and started making lists, and wrote letters to Mrs. Xue and Lin Daiyu.

After finishing the work, it was almost noon, and Xue Baobao took Yu Xin to the big kitchen and asked Yu Xin what he wanted to eat.

Yu Xinxin said absently, "It's time now. Let's make something simple. Otherwise, let's eat mapo tofu rice bowl. The food in this Zhuangzi can really put a smile on your face."

Xue Baobao laughed, "If you understand your identity, you will be classy if you are not hungry."

Yu Xin glared at her dissatisfied, "Why are you talking to that fake monk? Are you going to become that fake monk's fan again?"

He said that he didn't even wait for Xue Baobao to object, and pinched his face angrily, "Am I not more handsome than him? Why don't you be my fan?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

What does my fan brother's face look like?
The kitchen was fully stocked with ingredients. When Xue Baobao was making Mapo Tofu, he quickly cooked a bowl of Yangchun noodles and asked the woman in the kitchen to deliver it to Baozhuang.

The kitchen has actually prepared meals, but as a special guest chef, she needs to know her position.

Because the kitchen is far away, after the rice bowl is ready, Xue Baobao and Yu Xin sit directly on the small horse in the kitchen and eat with bowls.

Awei didn't dare to eat at the same table as Yu Xin, so he took the bowl and went out to eat.

Seeing no one around, Xue Baobao secretly took out a jar of candied kumquats from the space, stuffed one into his and Yu Xin's mouths, and then stuffed the jar directly into Yu Xin's sleeve.

Yu Xin's handsome face, which had always been stern, finally revealed a smile, and he whispered, "This place is not like home, so be careful and don't let anyone notice.

Especially that Baozhu, he looks like a thief, so be especially careful with him."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Baozhuang definitely looks like a holy monk, why is he looking at a chicken thief?
Xue Baobao was afraid of saying what was in her heart, so Yu Xin hit her, nodded obediently, and turned to talk about things in the capital.

He also told Yu Xin to help Lin Daiyu identify young talents, and sighed, "I see that Sister Lin absolutely despises Jia Baoyu now. It can be considered that I have torn down their official CP. I have to find a better one, otherwise I can't even help her."

Yu Xin was dissatisfied and said, "Stop meddling in other people's business."

Xue Baobao, "...Sister Lin is my adopted sister. She has the same status as you, how can she be considered an outsider?
Oh, by the way, I also have a sworn sister, Zhen Yinglian, please help me keep an eye on it. I don’t want to marry rich and powerful, but at least I want to live in a well-off family and have enough food and clothing.

The most important thing is that the husband should be capable and responsible, but should not be carefree or have concubines or maidservants."

Yu Xin touched his waist and threatened, "Are you asking me to pull out the Xiuchundao again?"

When he said this, Xue Baobao suddenly thought about it, "Hey, didn't you say that you didn't even have the strength to walk to the entrance of the yard?
I saw you walking around with me today, so lively! "

As she spoke, she went to check Yu Xin's pulse, and let out a cry of surprise. Then she looked at Yu Xin's face, tongue coating, etc., and was even more surprised, "All the weak points in your pulse disappeared overnight. It's amazing! "

Yu Xin frowned, "I also discovered it. Baozhuang must have done it, I just don't know how he did it."

Xue Baobao's eyes were bright, "If it is really him who did it, then his pharmacological achievements will definitely far exceed mine. I will definitely ask for advice when I have the chance!"

Yu Xin, "..."

Sister, is your focus in the wrong direction?
Xue Baobao took a big mouthful of rice and chewed it with satisfaction, "So, brother, it's definitely not a grievance for me to stay here. Maybe when one and a half years comes, I won't be able to leave!"

Yu Xin narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Can't you bear to leave?"

Xue Baobao laughed dryly, "Haha, it's just an exaggeration, a rhetorical technique, do you understand?

How could I not want to leave?If I stay here, if nothing else, I will miss my brother so much that I can’t sleep every day! "

How could Yu Xin not know that she was trying to comfort him in a different way? Although he was reluctant and worried, he still reluctantly laughed with her, "That's pretty much it!"

Xue Baobao said, "I think that Ning Ze of yours is good, good-looking, and not too old. Please check other aspects for me.

If it's really good, tell it to Sister Zhen. If Mrs. Zhen and Sister Zhen are willing, it can be considered a good match."

Yu Xin, "..."

I haven’t forgotten about being a matchmaker!
While the brother and sister were talking, the chant of "Amitabha" sounded outside, and Yu Xin stood up with his rice bowl in hand, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Xue Baobao put down his rice bowl, took the bowl in Yu Xin's hand and put it aside, then stood up and tidied his clothes.

After a while, Baozhuang entered the kitchen, followed by Awei carrying a rice bowl.

"Amitabha, the two donors are courteous."

Xue Baobao returned the gift, and Yu Xin reluctantly returned the gift.

After Baozhuang saluted, he raised his head and looked at Xue Baobao with bright eyes, "What is Donor Xue eating? It smells so good!"

Xue Baobao, "...it's Mapo Tofu Rice Bowl, Master, you can't eat it yet."

Baozhuang looked extremely disappointed and said, "Is it true that I can't eat it? Although the Yangchun noodles sent by the donor are also delicious, this rice bowl looks delicious too, and the poor monk is not full yet."

Xue Baobao, "..."

I have no idea how a patient like him, who vomits blood after eating too much, has such a good appetite and complains that he doesn't have enough to eat every day.

Xue Baobao thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that the three fresh buns were delicious last time?
It just so happens that I want to make some for my brother and save it for dry food on the road. Why don't you wait for a while? The buns that are just out of the pot will definitely taste better than the ones that have been stored for many days last time."

Baozhuang reluctantly looked at their jobs and let out a sigh.

Xue Baobao said again, "Master, I hear you still have a bit of a nasal sound, so why don't you go back and take a nap first.

When you wake up, the steamed buns in the first cage should be ready. I'll ask someone to send them over and you can eat them when you wake up."

Baozhuang became happy again, bowed and left.

As soon as he left, Yu Xin immediately said, "Baby, he definitely pretended to be innocent in front of you on purpose to deceive you!"

Xue Baobao, "...He is a noble prince, and he went to great lengths to deceive me. What is he trying to do? Is he trying to get my few buns?"

Yu Xin wanted to say something, but he swallowed it and gritted his teeth to warn, "Anyway, remember, that treasure building is definitely not a good thing!

You guys are different between men and women. Whether you treat him or cook him, stay away from him. If you have something to do, just ask Asafoetida to tell him! "Okay, okay!" "

Xue Baobao returned the job to him, "I know! I know even if you don't tell me, but I still want to keep my reputation as a best friend and recruit a son-in-law!"

Yu Xin felt a little relieved when he saw that she didn't seem to be perfunctory with him, and continued to eat without mentioning it.

In the Meishou Courtyard, there is a pavilion covered with quilts and leaning on pillows.

Although spring has already begun, there is still a fire burning in his house. The temperature of the charcoal fire makes his face turn bright red. Against his pale lips, his eyes are as bright as amber, making his majestic face shine through. Somewhat enchantingly beautiful.

"...I know! I know even if you don't tell me, but I still want to keep my reputation as a best friend and recruit a son-in-law."

The handsome young man in black clothes finished his last sentence and looked up at Baozhuang expectantly, "Master, Miss Xue will bring you some steamed buns later, can I eat a few too?"

Baozhuang coughed lowly and said, "It depends on how many Miss Xue will send."

The young man in black clothes was dissatisfied, "If she gives less, master, won't you ask her to give more?"

Baozhuang did not answer his words and instead asked, "Son-in-law, this is the second time I heard this word. What is son-in-law?"

The young man in black clothes said happily, "I know this. I heard my master say that if I don't study martial arts well and have no skills when I grow up, I will have no choice but to work as a son-in-law for a wealthy family, otherwise I will starve to death sooner or later.

Master, although I am now second in the world in martial arts, if Miss Xue wants to recruit a son-in-law, I will definitely go! "

The young man in black clothes swallowed his saliva as he spoke, "Master, when I came back from eavesdropping just now, I stole a small bowl of Mapo Tofu rice bowl while Miss Xue and her brother were not paying attention.

Delicious!It tastes better than everything I’ve eaten in my entire life!I am willing to be Miss Xue’s son-in-law! "

Baozhuang laughed angrily, "Master, I haven't eaten it yet, but you did it first!

roll!Keep watching, the buns are steamed, come back and wake me up immediately! "

The boy in black clothes rolled away obediently. Baozhuang closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

About a quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes again, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and flicked Sun Xiaosheng, who was hanging upside down on the tent hook.

Sun Xiaosheng jumped onto the desk in front of the window, picked up a small pot of water, poured some water into the inkstone, and skillfully took out the ink stick and started sharpening it.

If Ah Wei saw it, he would definitely be amazed that Sun Xiaosheng had become a spirit.

Baozhuang walked to the desk and sat down, laying out the paper and choosing a white jade wolf-hair pen.

At this time, the ink in the inkstone had already taken shape. Bao Zhuang dipped it in and raised his pen, "This place is not like at home. You should be careful and don't let anyone notice the clues."

Especially that Baozhuang, he looks like a thief, so be especially careful with him..."

He actually said exactly what the young man in black clothes had just overheard.

"...I know even if you don't tell me, but I still want to keep my reputation as a best friend and recruit a son-in-law."

Baozhuang put down the last stroke, stared at the paper for a while, then opened the box on the table, took out the paper, and laid it out page by page.

If Xue Baobao and Yu Xin were here, they would find that the densely written words on it are all what they said since they met last night until now, and almost every sentence is recorded.

But some of the words were blurred because they spoke softly or couldn't speak clearly.

Obviously, there are a lot of vague words.

Baozhuang read the paper back and forth carefully several times, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "The poor monk likes people with secrets the most."

……

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yu Xin was blindfolded and sent to the place where Ning Ze and others stayed.

When they got there, Yu Xin was taken off the blindfold, and found that not only Ning Ze and others, but also the men he brought with Shennong Mountain were sent over.

Butler She did not leave immediately, but escorted them all the way down Shennong Mountain.

He was ordered to pick up the seven-leaf pearl grass left by Xue Baobao at the foot of Shennong Mountain.

After getting the Seven-leaf Pearl Grass, he raised his fist towards Yu Xin and others. Just when Yu Xin and others thought he was about to leave, he suddenly pulled out a soft sword from his waist, pointed it at Ning Ze, and said coldly, "Ning Ze" Sir, She was ordered to take Lord Ning's right hand and ask Lord Ning to draw his sword."

Everyone was shocked. Yu Xin took two steps forward, protected everyone behind him, and sneered, "Is this your order? I wonder whose order you are receiving?"

Butler She did not answer, but Ning turned pale and said, "Sir, my subordinate pointed a sword at the prince's neck that day."

Yu Xinxin's head jumped, but his face remained calm. He slowly pulled out the Xiuchun knife and said in a cold voice, "Then please pass Yu's test first."

Butler She simply nodded, "Okay."

……

……

Of course, Xue Baobao had no way of knowing about the dispute at the foot of the mountain. She was worriedly checking Baozhuang's pulse, and then opened his closed eyelids to check.

The old man standing next to the bed blew his beard and glared at her, "Miss Xue, the master's cold weather and food accumulation are all thanks to the girl, so the girl doesn't have to be in the way here!"

Xue Baobao was not convinced, "Master's accumulation of food may have something to do with me. If he has a cold, what does it have to do with me?"

"The reason why the master caught wind must be because he stood outside the yard that night waiting for the girl to reminisce with your brother. How come it has nothing to do with the girl?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

You just stood there for a while and got a cold?

Awei was angry, "It's not like we girls begged your master to wait. Everything is our girl's fault. Why don't you blame yourself for your poor medical skills? A weak disease in the fetus has not been cured even after 16 years of treatment!"

The old man's surname was Bian. He had followed Baozhuang since he came to Shennong Mountain and helped him take care of his health. Zhuangzi called Bian the miracle doctor.

It can be said that Baozhuang became critically ill several times after being raised in the palace for a year, but he was able to live to the age of 17 in Shennong Mountain. He definitely contributed a lot.

When Doctor Bian heard this, he felt as if he had been hit in a fatal spot, and was unable to speak for a long time.

Xue Baobao hurriedly stood up and saluted, "My maid is rude, please forgive me, Doctor Bian."

Doctor Bian waved his hands sullenly, "She is right. My master's young mind is greedy or willful. It is normal. It is indeed my incompetence.

Now that my master has a high fever and is unconscious, I am even more helpless. If you don’t blame me for my poor medical skills, who can blame me? "

Xue Baobao majored in medicine, and he only knew a little bit about medical skills. He was helpless and had to persuade, "How about Dr. Bian thinks about how to change the prescription, and I will make some for you." Here comes the pear soup that nourishes the lungs."
