The kitchen of Xu Mansion was filled with aroma, and there was a fragrance in the wind.
Some servants smelled the smell and looked towards the kitchen. They all wanted to know what was so fragrant in the kitchen.
When Xu Que walked out with two large bowls, several servants were instantly shocked.
In the big bowl are silk-like objects, dotted with chopped green onions and sliced meat...
"It smells so good!" the little girl praised with salivation.
"That's necessary!" Xu Que placed two bowls of noodles on the stone table.
And just when Xu Que and the little girl were about to eat, Xu Fan and Liu Rushi were also attracted here by the aroma.
"Brother, what are you..." Xu Fan came to the table and looked at the food in the big bowl.
"Oh, it's the eldest brother and sister-in-law." Xu Que pushed the bowl in front of the eldest brother: "This is the noodles, I made them!"
"Noodles? Did you make them?" Xu Fan and Liu Rushi were shocked, and even the servants standing far away were a little shocked.
"Little brother, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. The kitchen is not a place where a scholar like you should enter." Xu Fan said.
"Hey, you are a gentleman, you are a fool to just study. The ancients said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. A true gentleman can do anything." Xu Que waved his hand indifferently.
Xu Fan's eyes twitched. He couldn't argue with his younger brother. After all, his literary career had opened up a big road. If he wanted to continue this, he would definitely lose.
"Here, let's have a taste." Xu Que pointed at the noodles in the bowl.
"What about you?" Xu Fan asked doubtfully.
"There are still many, I just cut a piece of noodles." Xu Que explained with a smile, then stood up and re-entered the kitchen.
And just after Xu Que entered, he revealed his head and shouted to the servants: "Wait a moment. When I finish cooking this pot, I will make another pot for you."
When they heard that the young master was making food for their servants, the servants quickly knelt down to thank him.
"I'm going to kneel down and get up to work. I'll call you later." Xu Que took his head back and continued with his gourmet plan.
Xu Fan looked at the face in front of him, and then at the little girl sucking and feasting, his expression was a little tangled.
"In that case, you eat first and I'll go take a look." Xu Fan pulled Liu Rushi and pushed his face in front of her.
"Langjun, this is..."
Before Liu Rushi could finish speaking, Xu Fan said: "My advice, little brother, you can eat it."
Liu Rushi was actually very curious. Seeing how good Xin'er was eating, she was a little shaken...
There was a "ding-dong" sound in the kitchen, and Xu Fan looked inside: "Brother, come out. This work should be left to the servants. The sage said: A gentleman..."
"Brother, a saint is still a human being before he becomes a saint. Everyone must have appetites. His so-called gentleman's behavior, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, does not mean that he cannot study eating." Xu Que lowered his face and said.
Xu Fan was once again at a loss for words and felt that he really had no confidence in front of his younger brother. At this moment, he had an idea that if his younger brother could make good use of this sophistry talent, he would definitely come out on top in participating in discussions among various countries.
Xu Fan was shocked by his own thoughts. As for why he had such thoughts... It was probably because Xu Que was able to twist the saint's words!
Xu Que didn't know what was in Xu Fan's mind at this moment. If he knew, he would definitely persuade his elder brother.
What he is thinking about now is how to use flour to make more delicacies. In the eyes of people in this world, flour is just a food to satisfy hunger, but no matter how it looks, it will probably end up like that...
Xu Que shook his head. He felt that he really had to teach them a lesson, otherwise it would be bad for him to appear too good...
After the fragrant noodles were put into the bowl, Xu Que sprinkled some chopped green onion as a garnish.
He really didn't skip cooking this time, making enough for five people, and one pot was just full of noodles.
Xu Que came out with three bowls of noodles on a tray: "Brother, you can send these three bowls of noodles to your parents and Uncle Liu."
"What about yours?" Xu Fan asked.
"There are two bowls left for both of us. You go and come back quickly. I'll just make some for these servants." After Xu Que finished speaking, he returned to the kitchen again.
Xu Fan originally wanted to stop Xu Que from saying something, but after thinking about being blocked by his younger brother's eloquent speech twice, he instantly lost his confidence.
"Lang Jun, let me go." Liu Rushi said.
"Okay, let's go together then."
When Xin'er saw the noodles that had only been touched by Liu Rushi, she quickly asked: "Sister Rushi, aren't you going to eat?"
Hearing the little girl's inquiry, Liu Rushi smiled awkwardly: "If Xin'er doesn't dislike it, then you can eat it."
"Thank you, Sister Rushi!" Xin'er said without any politeness, holding the big bowl on the table in front of her and eating.
Xu Fan looked at the little girl and then at Liu Rushi. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then led Liu Rushi to the main hall in the backyard.
Xu's mother was planning to take a nap again. Although her body had recovered a lot these days, her face was still so haggard.
As for breakfast, she automatically ignored it. When she was the wife of the Marquis of the Duke's Palace, it was of course three meals a day. After falling from the clouds and her illness, eating became irregular.
Just as she was lying down, suddenly, there was a knock on the door: "Old madam, my uncle has prepared some fresh food for you to try."
The door opened, Xu's mother took the bowl she was holding, and came to the table to look at the noodles in the bowl. Her expression was as confused as the people who had just seen the bowl of noodles. However, when she brought it to her nose and smelled it, Xu's mother just I feel gastrointestinal peristalsis and secreted saliva flows out of my mouth.
She swallowed, picked up a noodle and put it into her mouth...
That scent...
That silky feeling...
"This is very fresh, so white, so fragrant, and so delicious..."
After eating half a bowl, Xu's mother felt warm and comfortable in her stomach. She glanced at Xiaohong, smiled and pushed the rest to Xiaohong. Xiaohong had long been fascinated by the fragrance, and she took a taste. He became no longer reserved, his chopsticks moved up and down significantly faster, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He picked up a large bowl of soup and drank it "gudong, gudong"...
Seeing not a drop of soup left, Liu Rushi and Xu's mother were shocked. None of them expected that Xiaohong could be the same as Xin'er...
"I didn't expect this flour to become so delicious. Do you think Queer made it?"
"My brother-in-law personally cooked this for the old lady."
"This little bastard! Don't you know that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen? Why is he so contemptuous of a scribe who can write so many good poems? You and Fan'er didn't stop him? If this spreads out, wouldn't his reputation be ruined? ?"
"Old madam, don't be angry. Lang Jun stopped him, but he didn't. My brother-in-law is very talented. I have nothing to say in defense to Lang Jun..." Liu Rushi quickly comforted her.
"Xiaohong, go ahead and do what I say. From now on, this brat is not allowed to enter the kitchen."
"Yes! Madam!" Xiaohong responded, carrying a big bowl and walking towards the kitchen.
By the time Xiao Hong rushed to the kitchen, Xu Que had already brought out the noodles for his servants. He was a little too hungry at the moment, or rather stuffed.
I picked up the big bowl and took a bite. It felt ok, but it lacked some spices.
Xiaohong was stunned when she saw the scene in the kitchen courtyard. People No. 7 and 8 were squatting on the ground holding a big bowl and sucking noodles...
When Xiao Hong saw that Xu Que seemed to be thinking about something, she walked over in small steps.
"Young master, how can you do these lowly jobs? These jobs are done by servants like us. Madam has said that you are not allowed to enter the kitchen from now on... Xin'er, don't eat, you are the same, why don't you know how to persuade her? Encourage the young master."
Xin'er raised her head with a question mark on her face. She had tried to persuade her, and the eldest son had also tried to persuade him, but it was of no use...
Although in the eyes of others, Xin'er is a maid, in Xu Que's eyes, the little girl is a sister. Xin'er also thinks so, so she doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.
"Ah?" Xu Que came to his senses. He was thinking about some issues just now, and then he realized that Xiao Hong was here.
"Young Master..."
Xiao Hong wanted to say it again, but Xu Que interrupted: "Hey~ you came just in time, Xin'er is still a little too young, I'm afraid she spilled it on the way, and there are three bowls in the kitchen, specially for You, my eldest brother, if my sister kept it, you can take it away."
