Allure of a Country Maiden

After the boat docked, Shangguan Xuanyi walked to the side of the boat and stretched out his hand to pull Xiaoer ashore.

After Xiaoer came ashore, Shangguan Wanru, who was following Xiaoer, consciously extended her hand to Shangguan Xuanyi.

Shangguan Xuanyi ignored the hand in front of him, turned around and asked Xiaoer: "Are you tired?"

"Shangguan Xuanyi, pull me!" Shangguan Wanru said angrily. This person is really cold-blooded. She is his cousin after all! He actually didn't even want to pull himself up! How could Lord Rui'an tolerate him? annoying! It’s really a flower stuck in cow dung!

"Can't you come up yourself?" Shangguan Xuanyi said without looking back.

At this time, the fifth princess behind her said: "Forget it, even I can't pull him."

After hearing what the two said, Xiaoer turned around and reached out to give them a hand: "Okay, stop bickering and save some energy for eating. My fourth uncle's family opened a restaurant nearby, let's go there to eat. .”

After hearing this, Di Shaowei quickly said: "Girl, these days of rowing, I have been eating the food here until there is no taste in my mouth. You can cook some dishes for us to try!"

Shangguan Xuanhao listened and nodded: "Yes, you don't know, I come here hungry in the afternoon these days."

Xiaoer glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi. This man was also picky and probably didn't eat much. Besides, she was already prepared, so she nodded: "Okay!"

"No, they can just go and eat by themselves. Aren't you tired after rowing all morning?" Shangguan Xuanyi refused.

"That's it, don't bother my Lord Ruian to find food by yourself. Lord Ruian cooks for me as well! Lord Ruian, right?" Shangguan Wanru said.

Listener: If we cook together and feed it to her, she won’t be tired!

"Let's go together, it's just a few dishes, it'll be quick, you won't be tired." Xiaoer said.

"Then let's cook together, I'm the best at cooking!" Shangguan Wanru said, holding Xiaoer's arm with both hands.

Shangguan Xuanyi wanted to chop off those hands with a knife. What was going on with the girl who was always hugging her? Now that there were so many people, he couldn't hold Xiaoer's hand and he was really jealous of the person who could hold Xiaoer.

"Just you, don't burn down the kitchen!" Shangguan Xuanhao said contemptuously.

"Stop looking down on others!" The group of people walked away under Xiao'er's guidance.

On both sides of the Huaijiang River, cement dams have been built in recent years.

There are many snack shops of different sizes on both sides of the strait, which facilitate the dock workers and merchants to solve their meal problems.

Mrs. Lu also bought a shop with a backyard and opened a restaurant here. She hired someone to do the work and came to check the accounts every day. The shop makes breakfast in the morning and fast food at noon and evening. It costs five cents for two dishes and one meat. Many people buy it, and the net profit ranges from four to six taels of silver every day.

Shen Chengzu opened an iron shop in the imperial capital, and the business was very good. The couple loved each other, there were no troublesome people and things, and they lived a harmonious and beautiful life.

When Xiaoer came with her people, Madam Lu was about to go home. She was surprised to see Xiaoer and the others coming. Madam Lu saluted Shangguan Xuanyi and his party before asking: "Xiaoer, why are you here?"

"Fourth Aunt, we are rowing dragon boats on the Huaijiang River. I will bring them over for you to eat. Can you use the kitchen?"

"Of course. There are many people in the shop now. Come in through the back door with me." Mrs. Lu said with a smile.

The imperial court would organize a dragon boat race every year, and Lu knew about it. Dragon boat races were held in many sections of the Huaijiang River.

This time of year is also the best time for her shop's business.

Mrs. Lu took them to the largest private room on the second floor. Xiaoer took out the tea she had brought and gave it to Mrs. Lu to make tea. Mrs. Lu didn't mind. The six princes were all here, and the others were naturally rich or poor. It's expensive, and the original tea leaves in the shop are not enough.

After serving tea, Xiaoer and Mr. Lu walked out of the private room together and came to the kitchen in the backyard, which was exclusively used by Mr. Lu.

"Fourth Aunt, you don't have to greet us. You can bring food back to Fourth Uncle." Just now she saw Mrs. Lu carrying a lunch box, presumably preparing meals for Shen Chengzu, his father and his daughter.

"It doesn't matter, I'll cook with you and greet them." Madam Lu waved her hand. She was really flattered by the fact that so many noble people came to her small restaurant at one time!

The chef and waiter in the shop were also very busy now, and besides, he didn't trust them to greet him.

"It's really not necessary. Don't starve Fourth Uncle and the others. Yangliu and Yangmei can help me."

"Yes, County Lord Rui'an's fourth aunt, you can go back, I will help County Lord Rui'an." Shangguan Wanru also walked out at this time.

This was her first time cooking! I really want to cook with County Master Ruian.

After hearing this, Madam Lu looked at Xiaoer, who nodded: "It's okay, Fourth Aunt, please go back!"

"Okay then, do you need me to call a cook to help you?"

"No need." Xiaoer shook her head.

Lu didn't insist anymore and went back.

Zhao Yong also brought a lot of food from the house at this time. This was what Xiaoer had ordered when she went out. They were all food from the space. She had to eat something good to replenish her strength!

The ingredients were all prepared before being loaded. Xiaoer took Shangguan Wanru to the small kitchen in the backyard, "County Master Rui'an, what are you going to cook?"

"What does the princess want to eat?"

"I want something spicy! Very spicy!"

Xiaoer saw that there was half a plate of fresh duck blood in the kitchen. She guessed that the meat dish in today's lunch was duck meat. "Let's make some Maoxuewang and Mapo tofu, and then make a dry-roasted fish, soy sauce ribs, and soy sauce braised pork belly." How about abalone, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, steamed sea urchin eggs, two fried vegetables, and some yam and pork ribs soup?"

"It sounds delicious, so let's do it!"

"There happen to be two stoves. Princess Wanru, why don't you make a pot of rice first?"

"Okay, but how to make rice?"

Xiaoer:.

She doesn't even know how to cook rice, so what exactly does she know?

"Let me serve the rice. What kind of food does Princess Wanru know?"

"I won't do anything you tell me."

Xiaoer: Are you really here to help? Wouldn't that be a disservice?

Xiaoer was a little helpless, but still said: "Then Princess, please help light the fire!"

"Okay!" Making a fire means putting firewood into the stove, and she knows how to do this.

"Yangliu, you wash the rice and cook it!"

"Yes, girl."

At this time, Yang Mei had cleaned the two iron pots, "Princess, you can light the fire."

"Make a fire? How?" Shangguan Wanru was dumbfounded. She had never made a fire before.

Xiaoer: Are you sure she’s not here to cause trouble for you?

Yang Mei suppressed a smile and said, "Princess, I will light the fire. You can just put the firewood into the furnace when the time comes."

"Okay" Shangguan Wanru nodded.

"Princess, please watch the fire in this stove. Don't let the rice cook. Yang Liu, please light the fire in the other stove. I will start cooking." Xiaoer gave Yang Liu a look, telling her to keep an eye on Wanru. Princess, don't work so hard, you won't even be able to eat a bite of rice!
