The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 198 Xiao Shilang, let’s remarry (first update)
Because Xiao Yi had just attended a palace banquet and he was still wearing formal official uniform. Xu Jing glanced at him and said with a smile, "Do you want to change your clothes first, Minister Xiao?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "I had something to eat in the palace. If you and Chang Xiao are hungry, you don't need to wait for me and start eating first."

He saw that the long table next to him was covered with sliced ​​meat and washed vegetables, but it had not been touched yet.

"You don't have to worry about the little one. After the moon cake was ready, he ate a full one and a half, as well as a lot of fruits and snacks."

Xu Jing glanced at Xiao Huaian, who had a small belly next to her, and said, "If I hadn't stopped him from eating, he would have been exempted from dinner."

Hearing that grandma might not eat barbecue for him, Xiao Huaian said quickly: "I, I'm not full at all, really! My stomach was still beating just now!"

As he spoke, he tried his best to push out his belly, but he didn't expect that his behavior would actually reinforce Xu Jing's words.

Everyone was amused by his silly appearance. Xu Jing deliberately kept a straight face, reached out and patted his belly gently, "Indeed, your belly has become a small drum. If you continue to eat, it will It’s going to turn into a big drum!”

Xiao Huaian suddenly became anxious, "Auntie!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh even more heartily.

The spacious courtyard was instantly filled with cheerful and melodious laughter.

Xiao Yi's eyes couldn't help but become softer and softer. He glanced at the mother and son with a smile, then quickly went back to the room to change clothes.

When he came back, Xu Jing was already holding a pair of chopsticks and placing the thinly sliced ​​meat on the hot stone. The meat was roasted until it was sizzling and oily, and the whole yard was filled with the oily and tangy aroma. The greedy servants in the family who had never seen the world were constantly surrounding Xu Jing, their eyes shining as if they had been hungry for ten lifetimes.

Xianyun on the side rubbed his nose arrogantly.

Humph, they are a bunch of ignorant guys. He had smelled this fragrance many times when he and Xiao Langjun lived at Madam Xu’s place, and he would no longer show such a worthless expression!

Seeing Xiao Yi walking over, Xu Jing quickly asked him to sit down, handed him a pair of chopsticks, pointed to a small plate of barbecue placed on the small table in front of him, and said enthusiastically: "Try it quickly. You may have never tried this way of eating barbecue, but it’s delicious.”

In addition to the small plate of barbecue, there was also a small plate of green vegetable leaves, a small plate of garlic, a small plate of something like pickled radish, and a small plate of sauce on the small table.

The leaves of this vegetable are lettuce leaves. It is said that life in ancient times was inconvenient. When Xu Jing started to study food, she found that many modern ingredients that are available everywhere are not available here. There is no lettuce and no peppers. Xu Jing can only use lettuce. A similar substitute for lettuce is to use pepper and Sichuan peppercorns instead of peppers to make spicy sauces.

The final result seemed to her to be unsatisfactory, but seeing that Xiao Bu Dian and Qiu Shui were very satisfied with their meal, it was considered a success.

Xiao Yi held chopsticks in his hand and looked at the pile of ingredients in front of him with hesitation.

Xiao Huaian, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but look at his father with pity. He had never eaten the barbecue made by his mother, so he definitely didn't know how to eat it. Thinking about it, he said positively: "My father, my father." , look at me, I eat like this!"

While talking, he picked up a vegetable leaf, put a few pieces of barbecued meat and a piece of pickled radish into it, wrapped them together and dipped them in the dipping sauce in front of him, then took a big bite, and a look of happiness suddenly appeared on his face.

Xu Jing gave him a funny look and said, "Just eat it like Changxiao. Changxiao's dipping sauce does not contain pepper, Sichuan pepper or other seasonings. See if you are used to it. If you are not used to it, change it to growth." A dipping sauce like that would be fine too.”

Changxiao's Caiye was also different from them. He went through the water on purpose, fearing that the little one would ruin his intestines and stomach.

It turns out that this is the barbecue that this little kid talks about every day.

Xiao Yi rolled up a lettuce wrap according to Xiao Huaian's method. Although he made it by hand, it was particularly elegant and beautiful.

Finally, he took a bite under the expectant eyes of Xu Jing and Xiao Huaian, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.The vegetable leaves and the garlic and pickled radish wrapped inside neutralized the greasiness of the barbecue very well. When paired with the salty and slightly numb dipping sauce, it had a taste that he had never tasted before.

It feels like he won't get tired of this kind of barbecue no matter how much he eats.

After he swallowed the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face and said, "It's delicious."

Xiao Huaian suddenly felt as if he had been praised, and his eyes narrowed with laughter, "I said dad will definitely like it! In addition to barbecue, grandma will also cook a lot of delicious things!"

Xu Jing couldn't help but smile and rolled her eyes.

Although she only provided the recipe for this dish, and Qiu Shui made the preparation of the dipping sauce and the selection of ingredients alone, it did not prevent her from feeling very satisfied.

She smiled and said: "Eat more if you like. We have prepared a lot of ingredients tonight. Qiushui, Chuju, help bake some more and share them with others to try."

The servants on the side, whose tongues were so greedy that they wanted to swallow it, burst into tears of gratitude.

Alas, Madam Xu is the Guanyin Bodhisattva in their hearts!No one is allowed to object!

Chunyang and Chunxiang couldn't help but secretly glance at each other.

Thinking of the plan their lady told them a few days ago, they felt inexplicably nervous.

I don’t know where the lady and Xiao Shilang will go from now on.

Everyone ate lively all night, and finally enjoyed the moon and ate mooncakes.

Xiao Huaian was a child after all. He felt sleepy after eating and drinking enough. He moved to Xu Jing's side in dependence, his little head moving little by little.

Xu Jing gave him a funny look, called Chu Ju and said, "The young man is sleepy, please take him down to rest first."

Chu Ju responded, picked up Xiao Huaian and walked inside.

After Xiao Huaian left, Xu Jing was not in a hurry to leave. She still sat there, talking to Xiao Yi.

Although everything tonight was so beautiful that Xiao Yi felt like he was not drunk, but he was not a man who would be easily carried away.

On weekdays, Xu Jing would not take the initiative to come to him if she had nothing to do, and she would not stay for a moment longer after the matter was done. Today, she stayed uncharacteristically, just because she had something to say to him.

He picked up the teapot and poured Xu Jing a cup of tea to soothe her tiredness. He motioned with his eyes to the servants around him to move away, and said warmly: "Mrs. Xu, what do you want to tell me?"

Xu Jing, who had been thinking about how to express what was in her heart, couldn't help but cough slightly.

This man is too keen!
However, she couldn't drag this matter out forever. She immediately sat upright, looked at the man in front of her, and said: "I do have something to tell Mr. Xiao. It's a rare holiday today, so I won't let Mr. Xiao do it today." It’s annoying, but it’s really… forced by the situation.”

After a pause, facing the man's patient and deep black eyes, she took a breath and said: "Shilang Xiao, you said before that you don't mind remarrying me in a fake way. I wonder if Shilang Xiao's mind has changed? If not. , let’s pretend to remarry.”

There was a "pop" sound. It was Xiao Yi who failed to hold the cup lid in his hand properly and fell onto the cup.
