Allure of a Country Maiden

Yang Liu nodded knowingly.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

"It smells so good, Lord Rui'an, what are you cooking?" Shangguan Wanru sat there lighting the fire, but she was not a peaceful person either. From time to time she would stand up and watch Xiaoer stir the dishes in the wok.

Xiaoer is very patient and patiently answered all her questions one by one.

Finally, all the dishes were finished, leaving only the yam and pork ribs soup still simmering in the stove.

Seeing that Princess Wanru had done nothing wrong, Xiaoer said: "Princess, let's serve these meals first. You watch the fire in the stove and let the soup simmer for a while so that the ribs will be more flavorful. I will cook it in a while." Down."

"Okay, don't worry, leave it to me."

So Xiaoer and the other three started to serve the food.

There are not many dishes, but the portions of each item are large, so each person can only serve one or two dishes at a time. The three of them serve the dishes together, and the meal is completed in two trips.

Shangguan Wanru sat in the stove and watched the fire calmly. After waiting for a while, she remembered that Xiaoer had asked Yangmei to lift the lid of the pot and stir the soup in the casserole with a spoon to prevent the yam from sticking to the bottom of the casserole. , is burnt, in that case, the soup will have a burnt smell.

Shangguan Wanru is not without some common sense. She picked up a clean dishcloth placed next to the stove and placed it on the lid to keep it warm. Then she picked up the lid of the casserole. She imitated Yang Liu and held the casserole in one hand. Cover and use a spoon to carefully stir the soup in the pot.

The water droplets from the casserole lid dripped onto her embroidered shoes and insteps, burning her feet so quickly that she accidentally dropped the casserole lid that she wasn't holding very firmly to the ground. The lid happened to hit one end of a log in the stove. The flaming log fell out of the stove and landed on Shangguan Wanru's feet. She kicked the log away with a scream and it fell to the side to start the fire. The straw immediately caught fire.

Shangguan Wanru's trousers caught fire, which frightened her so much that she kept kicking her feet and looking for something to put out the fire.

Li Mingjun also participated in the dragon boat race this year. He had seen Xiaoer and the others a long time ago, so he deliberately followed them and hid in the dark to pay attention to their movements.

Now when he saw the fire in the kitchen, he sneered in his heart, but had no intention of going forward to help.

Princess Wanru was burned by the fire. The Queen Mother and Prince An would definitely blame County Princess Ruian. He wanted to see if she would live such a happy life after offending these two people!

Xiaoer and the other three walked back. They saw smoke coming out of the kitchen window and ran over quickly.

Xiaoer twisted a bucket of water from the yard and went in. Yangliu and Yangmei also carried the basin and the bucket.

When Xiaoer came in and saw Shangguan Wanru's pants on fire, her face changed with fright, and she quickly poured the entire bucket of water on her legs.

The fire finally went out.

"Princess, are you okay?" Xiaoer stepped forward to support her and asked.

"County Master Ruian, my feet hurt so much. I'm so scared!" Shangguan Wanru turned pale with fear.

Yangliu and Yangmei poured water from buckets or basins onto the fire, and then ran out to fetch water.

"Girl, you take Princess Wanru to the private room first, and we will put out the fire." Yang Liu said to Xiaoer in a hurry.

"Don't be afraid, I will carry you out and give you medicine. The pain will subside soon." Xiaoer quickly comforted you.

Li Mingjun, who was hiding in the dark, saw that the two of them were close to the fire, and a yellow tabby cat jumped on the stove to steal some food.

Li Mingjun took out his concealed weapon and shot at the tabby cat.

The cat, who was injured by the hidden weapon, gave a shrill "meow" sound, jumped up, and knocked over the oil can. The oil spilled on the floor and the porcelain pieces shattered on the floor.

Shangguan Wanru, who was already frightened, heard the cat's shrill scream and thought that the cat was also on fire. She was so frightened that she jumped on Xiao'er and her whole body hung on Xiao'er.

Xiaoer was made to take two steps back by her momentum, and stepped on the puddle of oil.

The sole of her foot slipped, and under the influence of gravity and her body's imbalance, Xiaoer fell beautifully backwards.

Xiaoer fell to the ground, and her right hand happened to touch the burning straw. She couldn't help but frown in pain, quickly retracted her hand, and patted the burning sleeve on the ground to put out the fire.

Xiaoer's left leg was hit by a piece of porcelain in the popliteal fossa, which was really painful to her.

Shangguan Wanru lay on top of Xiaoer, too frightened to care about the pain in her feet: "County Master Ruian, are you okay?"

Li Mingjun didn't expect such a good thing to happen. This was such an unexpected surprise. He sneered and left quietly.

Yangliu and Yangmei ran in and were almost frightened when they saw this scene!

Why did the girl come to cause trouble? She is not the one who helps more and more!

Yangliu and Yangmeihuo didn't care about saving them and hurriedly helped them up.

The smoke coming out of the kitchen attracted the attention of a waiter in the shop.

When he saw a fire in the small kitchen, he quickly shouted for someone to put out the fire.

Shangguan Xuanyi came down to help. At this time, he also came over. He saw thick black smoke coming out of the kitchen window, and vaguely saw the yellow light of fire. His face changed with fright, and he quickly ran in.

At this time, Xiaoer and Shangguan Wanru had just been helped up.

Shangguan Xuanyi saw Xiaoer's injured hand and bleeding leg at a glance, and his expression became even more ugly.

He quickly stepped forward and hugged her: "Why are you hurt!"

"I accidentally fell. Get out quickly and don't hinder others from putting out the fire." Xiaoer covered her nose to avoid inhaling more smoke.

The kitchen was already small, but now there were so many people crammed in that no one could get in to put out the fire, and the fire had already reached the window edges and beams.

Shangguan Xuanyi didn't waste any time and rushed out of the kitchen with Xiaoer in his arms.

Yang Liu also picked up Princess Wanru and ran out after her.

Yang Mei wanted to follow, but Xiaoer asked her to continue putting out the fire and not let the fire spread.

Because the shops by the river are all connected, there is no risk of a fire starting in the backyard of the shop next door.

Di Shaowei waited for a long time but did not see Xiaoer and the others coming up. Smelling the fragrant food, he became anxious and decided to go down to help. As soon as he walked out of the private room, he saw Xiaoer being held by Shangguan Xuanyi, and Shangguan Wanru being held by Yangliu. He hurriedly asked: "What happened?"

"There's a fire in the kitchen, hurry up and put out the fire." Xiaoer said.

Shangguan Xuanyi didn't know whether to be angry or laugh after hearing Xiao'er's words. This girl didn't care if she was injured, all she wanted to do was put out the fire!

Xiaoer and Shangguan Wanru were taken to a separate private room.

Xiaoer urged Shangguan Xuanyi to go out.

Shangguan Wanru's maid also got the news and walked in.

Although Shangguan Xuanyi was extremely worried, he still put Xiaoer down, asked Yang Liu to take care of her, and hurried out.

He didn't want to delay Xiaoer's time to deal with the wound, even for a breath.

The burns on Shangguan Wanru's legs were much more serious than those on Xiaoer's hands. Originally, she couldn't stop crying, but when she saw Xiaoer, who had suffered burns on her hands and injured her legs, her face was calm and she could feel calm. And when she told people how to do it in an orderly manner, she couldn't shed tears anymore.
