Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 39 Undercurrents surging
Fortunately, the weather is still cold, and the meat can still be stored. The only thing to guard against is mice.Xiu Niang found many empty baskets, put the meat cut into strips, put them in the baskets one by one, and hung them under the beams, so that the mice could not crawl in.

The pig's head and pig's feet were kept by Xue Lang, and then they were burned, washed and scraped, and put in the pot to wait.Xue Lang asked Xiu Niang for a piece of clean gauze, and went back to the house to pack a packet of seasoning from Licorice——

It's not for the purpose of keeping the formula secret, it's purely because I don't want to cause trouble for the licorice.However, Xiu Niang and the others seemed to have misunderstood it, thinking that Xue Lang wanted to keep it a secret, so they were all cautious.

Seeing it, Xue Lang simply didn't say much, and let them maintain the so-called secrecy.

Fished out the oil residue, filled a big bowl for Xiu Niang and took it home, Xue Lang remembered that there was still a little white sugar left in the bag, so he ran into the house to find out, each of them filled a small bowl Oil residue, sprinkle with white sugar, eat sweet oil residue.

Wanfu, Changjian, and wintersweet have long been drooled by the aroma of boiled oil. Now that there is something to eat, they all happily take it: "Thank you, sir, it smells so good!"

Xue Lang also liked to eat this when he was a child, but he couldn't eat too much every time, lest he would be greasy if he ate too much.Xue Lang looked at Mo Zhu who was full of confusion: "Mo Zhu, do you want to eat?"

Mo Zhu pursed his mouth: "Lang Jun, this is made from boiled pork."

Xue Lang silently rolled his eyes and said, "So you don't want to eat?"

"But it's very fragrant..."

As he spoke, he swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, hesitating and hesitating between words and actions.

Xue Lang didn't bother to talk to her anymore, and said: "Eat it or not, it's up to you! If you don't eat it while it's hot, you won't be able to eat it when it gets cold!"

Mo Zhu pouted and looked at Xue Lang, then at the delicious wintersweet, Changjian and Wanfu.Changjian turned around directly, didn't look at Mo Zhu, and concentrated on eating his own food, his mouth was full of oil.

Lamei is an honest child, and she greeted her warmly: "Mozhu, you have to try it, I think it's even better than mutton soup."

Wanfu smiled foolishly: "Our identities, as long as we have delicious food, Mozhu, do you care if it's a pig or a sheep?"

Mo Zhu looked at this, then at that, and said in a low voice, "Then...then I'll try a piece?"

"..."

Now, even Lamei ignored her.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Mo Zhu squinted her mouth, picked up the bowl, held the chopsticks, and was about to pick up a piece to eat. When she saw the white sugar Xue Lang put in the bowl, she couldn't help but muttered again: "Mr. What a waste of such a good frosting to eat with pork!"

Changjian couldn't help but glance at Mo Zhu, the look in his eyes was Chi Guoguo's meaning of "you can't gag your mouth if you have good things", and he couldn't bear to speak until he saw Xue Lang.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Mo Zhu lowered his head and started to eat with the bowl. He ate one piece tentatively, and then couldn't help but take the second piece, and the third piece... Slowly, the speed of using chopsticks became faster and faster. When she caught the empty chopsticks, she realized that she had already finished eating the bowl. She had a disappointed expression on her face when she looked up and saw Xue Lang was looking at her jokingly. I can eat it, but if it wasn't for the extra-grade frosting that Mr. Lang put on, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to eat a single bite."

Xue Lang laughed and joked: "Fortunately, you ate it reluctantly, otherwise, at the speed you eat Mozhu, two more bowls would not be enough for you. I don't feel sorry for sugar and oil residue, sir, I'm afraid of you If you eat too much, you will get bored."

"Lang Jun!"

Mo Zhu became angry from embarrassment, blushing like a piece of red cloth, stomped his feet, turned around and went back to the backyard.

Xue Lang laughed loudly, and called out to Wanfu who had finished eating: "Wanfu, I have a task for you tonight, be careful not to let the fire go out in the pot, simmer slowly for two hours, and then you can fish out the meat in the pot Come out and put out the fire again, remember?"

"Here, don't worry, sir, the little one will pay attention."

"Okay, I'll leave the important task of organizing to you. Lamei, are you done eating? Sir, I want to take a bath, go and prepare water."

"Here, sir, please wait a moment."

Lamei hurriedly went to the kitchen to fetch hot water. Mo Zhu, who was hiding behind the backyard door, heard that Xue Lang was going to take a bath, so she finally got out and prepared to go with Lamei.

After eating a bowl of sweet oil residue, Xue Lang felt a little tired and panicked. He wanted to go back to the house for a drink. After asking Changjian to clean it up, he followed him back to the backyard, just in time to hear the voices of two girls——

"...Lang Jun has a good temper and treats people kindly, but Mo Zhu, you shouldn't be annoyed with Lang Jun just now. If it were a different gentleman, your words and deeds just now, Mo Zhu, were a great disrespect and offense. If your superiors find out, but You have to eat a lot of money."

Is this Lamei trying to persuade Mo Zhu?

Xue Lang stopped in his tracks, not easy to dodge, so as not to make a noise and scare the two of them, so he could only passively listen to the two of them talking——

Mo Zhu seemed to sigh, and said: "Why don't I know that such words and deeds should not be done. It's just that sometimes I can't control myself. You don't know that when I went to the sewing room today, I met Ju Xue who was beside His Highness , Her words and expressions are really infuriating. We all serve as servants by His Highness, but we are the only ones sent by His Highness to serve Xue Langjun. She said that this is because His Highness no longer takes a fancy to us. Your Highness hates it!"

Mo Zhu spoke angrily.

Lamei seemed surprised: "Why did you say that? When we came, His Highness once said that because he liked Xue Langjun, he sent us to serve. Otherwise, some of the servants in the mansion would be suitable people! It is precisely because Your Highness's liking for Xue Langjun is why we, who grew up beside her, should come here, and we should serve her wholeheartedly."

"That's what I said, but how can a favored servant be transferred away from his master!"

"This is presumptuous! A servant should be loyal to his master and do his errands with all his heart. Your Highness likes Mr. Xue Lang, let us come, we should do our best. This is loyalty to the master. There are so many cares. ! Mo Zhu, you were not such a muddleheaded person before!"

Mo Zhu didn't speak, and was silent for a while, with melancholy in his words: "I hope so too, but Mr. Xue Lang doesn't look like a son of a family! Lamei, do we have a future? Tell me, will His Highness let us serve Xue? Sir?"

"Paws!"

Lamei is angry!The tone was full of anger: "You actually said such shameless words! Young master of the aristocratic family... Hehe, we grew up together, and I didn't know that you, Mo Zhu, still have such ambitions."

Mo Zhu hurriedly said: "Lamei, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I mean, Xue Langjun doesn't look like a person with a great future, which promising person do you think, thinking about eating and drinking all day long? He He actually knows how to grow bean sprouts, how can this be done by a great husband!"

Xue Lang, who passively listened in silently, secretly wiped his sweat in his heart——

Mo Zhu, what you said is so reasonable, I am speechless!
Xue Lang is indeed just an ordinary person with an ordinary background, look, this is not obvious!Fortunately, he didn't make up any family background, or he would have been seen through long ago!
