Xiao Nianzhi really suspected that the plot was forcibly pressing his head!
She took a deep breath and was about to persuade her uncle to stop. Aunt Yu spoke before her: "I have official business, and the manpower is probably not enough, so I won't bother them."
After hearing what Aunt Yu said, the uncle who had already stood up thought about it and nodded again and came back.
The two people quickly got on the carriage and left. After walking some distance, Xiao Nianzhi finally felt relieved.
Aunt Yu thought that the little girl was young and had never been afraid of big things, so after getting in the car, she gently shook Xiao Nianzhi's hand and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, my aunt is here."
Xiao Nianzhi pursed her lips and nodded obediently: "Yes, I'm not afraid."
She's not afraid of bandits, she's afraid of the plot!
However, in fact, this may not be completely blamed on the plot.
After all, we are in the same capital, even in the same city and outside the city, but not far apart. If we bump into each other by chance, it seems reasonable?
Xiao Nianzhi had thought before that such a salty daily life was not bad.
However, thinking about it now, she and Lu Jingyuan met each other one day before they knew it. The other person's job responsibility was daily safety issues.
The other party's daily working place is also in the south of the city.
So, you never know which day you will meet.
You can't just sit back and be a turtle all the time, right?
She didn't do anything wrong, so why should she avoid it?
Therefore, you still need to have status and ability, and it is best to stand in a high position. If Lu Jingyuan wants to touch him, he needs to weigh it before he can afford it.
It's just that I am a peasant girl, and now I am still living on my lap.
So, how to climb?
Xiao Nianzhi was lost in thought, and Aunt Yu was a little scared, so she said nothing more after a few words of comfort, as if she was thinking about something.
The Imperial College was outside the city, and Aunt Yu's Zhuangzi was not far from the Imperial College. In a short while, the carriage arrived.
Aunt Yu's village has more than a dozen houses, with three spacious main rooms in the middle.
Xiao Nianzhi has never been clear about Aunt Yu's identity.
Those who come out of the palace are usually those who have been released when they reach an age.
Aunt Yu can be called an aunt, and her status should not be low.
However, no matter how low it is, it is still a slave status.
However, looking at the current situation, this doesn’t look like it, does it?
Xiao Nianzhi had doubts in his heart, but he was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
There are some things that you will naturally know when you should know them.
The long-term slaves on Zhuangzi were quite surprised to see Aunt Yu coming back.
The chief steward was busy for a while, and then Aunt Yu dismissed her: "Okay, let's ask the kitchen to prepare something to eat. We've been working all the way, but we haven't eaten yet."
Aunt Yu was not satisfied with the food in the cafeteria, and she didn't expect much from Zhuangzi.
Thinking that the other party wanted to eat what he had cooked, Xiao Nianzhi hurriedly stopped the steward who was about to leave in response: "Auntie, I'll go."
When Aunt Yu heard this, she frowned and looked disapproving, but she couldn't refuse the child's wishes directly: "Are you feeling better? Are you still afraid?"
Xiao Nianzhi smiled obediently and said, "It's okay. I've recovered after a long ride in the car, and I'm not afraid of being at my aunt's place."
This was a nice thing to say. After hearing this, Aunt Yu relaxed her brows. Finally, she thought about it and waved her hand to signal her to go: "If you have anything to do, tell Director Hu, don't be afraid of trouble."
After Xiao Nianzhi responded, he followed Manager Hu to the kitchen.
The two of us were tired after struggling for a long time, so we just wanted to eat something simple and convenient.
After going to the kitchen and seeing fresh tofu, Xiao Nianzhi knew what he was going to do.
After washing his hands, Xiao Nianzhi asked the cook arranged by Manager Hu: "Is there any cabbage?"
The cook hurriedly responded: "Yes, I'll get it."
When the cook went to get the cabbage, Xiao Nianzhi cut the tofu into equal triangles, beat the eggs, and chopped onions, garlic, and dogwood.
On the way here, Xiao Nianzhi had already thought about it. What she had to do now was to show off her talents, not only in cooking, but also in other aspects.
For example...
As summer approaches, everyone's demand for ice has increased, so saltpeter ice making can be arranged.
Another example……
Water conservancy facilities, farming equipment.
She has to make herself look useful and make people feel that the value of her existence far exceeds that of Lu Jingyuan, so that there will be noble people willing to protect her!
Since Aunt Yu came from the palace and received such preferential treatment, it means that her existence itself is extraordinary and she is inextricably related to the palace.
In the palace.
That is where the imperial power is highest.
If there were people there to protect him, Xiao Nianzhi felt that with Lu Jingyuan's current status, he wanted to touch him?
He has to weigh it first, right?
Therefore, the first step to becoming famous is to turn Aunt Yu into his most reliable golden thigh!
The cook came back with the cabbage, and Xiao Nianzhi shred it into the portions he needed. Then he cut the tofu, wrapped it in egg liquid, and slowly fried it over low heat until golden brown on both sides.
Fry a large bowl of tofu, put it out and set aside. Then heat the pan with oil. Chop the chopped onion, garlic, and dogwood. After the oil is hot, add it to the pan and sauté until fragrant.
After the aroma came out, Xiao Nianzhi quickly put the Chinese cabbage into the pot and stir-fried it until it was cooked through, and then added the fried tofu.
Xiao Nianzhi's movements were so quick and smooth, with the beauty of flowing clouds and flowing water, that the cook looked straight at him.
When the tofu is fried, the aroma has already come out. The aroma of eggs is wrapped in the aroma of beans, which makes the cook couldn't help but twitch her nose.
When the onion, garlic and dogwood are sautéed, the aroma spreads farther.
They had already eaten at noon, and the long-term and short-term workers had already gone to work in the fields.
However, the aroma wafted out and everyone touched their stomachs, feeling that they were not full at noon.
However, it shouldn't be the case. The host is not stingy. There is pork in the lunch meal.
Those who are far away are confused, let alone the cook who is close by?
She touched her belly and sniffed the air with her nose. The smell became more and more mellow, and she couldn't help but salivate.
There are not many seasonings available today, and soy sauce is mostly reserved for wealthy families. The daily seasonings for ordinary people may just be oil and salt.
Tofu and cabbage stew, if there are no seasonings to enhance the flavor, the taste of both ingredients will appear bland.
Therefore, when Xiao Nianzhi asked the cook to get something for him, Xiao Nianzhi quietly reached out to the delicious cook.
Add oyster sauce, chicken essence, pepper and other seasonings in order, then add hot water, and then wait for the pot to boil and you can take it out!
When the cook came back with something, she was hit by the delicious smell!
She tilted her head in confusion: before it was just the aroma of oil and egg, but now there is a lot added to the smell, which she can't smell.
Although I can't smell it, it smells great! ! !
The cook scratched her head out of curiosity, but was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, for fear that it would involve family inheritance or something like that. In the end, her face turned red.
