Scholars in the courtyard

Chop chop chop

Tsk tsk rub...

The sound of the kitchen knife sounded rhythmically.

The friction between the shovel and the iron pot makes a unique sound...

In the kitchen, Yang Xiaotao is like a programmed machine, doing everything in an orderly manner.

Not far away, the three eldest sisters wrapped dumplings and watched Yang Xiaotao cooking.

"This man can cook, so he has nothing to do with women!"

The eldest sister couldn't help but admire Yang Xiaotao's skillful movements.

Tang Mingyue nodded, "Yes, the masters in Fengze Garden are all men. I don't know what's going on."

"It's not discriminating against us!"

Ran Qiuye shook his head after hearing this, "Everyone can cook, but to do it well, you need not only experience, but also strength!"

"Is this what he said?"

Tang Mingyue glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and Ran Qiuye nodded, "Yes, he said so!"

"Liar!"

While the two were talking, they saw Tong Xiaolong walking in with someone, and the eldest sister quickly got up to greet him.

Tang Mingyue also got up. Ran Qiuye looked at Yang Xiaotao's busy appearance, and after thinking about it, he went to the yard next door.

"The fish is ready, someone come get a plate!"

In the kitchen, Yang Xiaotao opened the lid of the pot. Only a little bit of the fish soup inside was cooked.

The aroma of the fish is fully stimulated, and the rich aroma quickly fills the kitchen.

"Coming, coming!"

Tang Mingyue's voice came from beside her, and then a large flower plate was brought over.

Yang Xiaotao looked back at the other party and saw that there was still some flour on her face. He couldn't help but joked, "You haven't even eaten yet, and you have it on your face?"

After hearing this, Tang Mingyue immediately wiped it with her hands, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Now I dare to joke. Why didn't I dare to guard Qiuye before?"

Yang Xiaotao was embarrassed, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Whoever said that, I am the same everywhere."

"Really? Not necessarily!"

There was no one else around, so Tang Mingyue felt more at ease.

But Yang Xiaotao didn't care. Anyway, under the influence of later generations' customs, let alone an ex-girlfriend, a dozen ex-girlfriends would be like that!

"This plate is a bit small!"

Yang Xiaotao changed the topic and looked at the plate. He gestured that no matter how he put the fish tail, it would fall off.

"This is the biggest plate!"

Tang Mingyue said helplessly.

The family is usually thrifty, but this time Yang Xiaotao cooked so many dishes, it was really not enough at one time!

"How about cutting it into two pieces?"

Tang Mingyue said tentatively, but Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "How can the fish on the table be separated? It's unlucky!"

"No longer one?"

"It's gone. I've searched all over the house."

"Where's the surrounding area? Can't you borrow some?"

Tang Mingyue gave Yang Xiaotao a roll of his eyes. Yang Xiaotao looked back and immediately turned around. He had forgotten where this place was.

"This way, you find two pairs of chopsticks and a hemp rope, and I will build a ladder for it!"

I had no choice but to find a way.

"Build a ladder?"

"Stop asking, go find him quickly."

Tang Mingyue didn't react for a while, but Yang Xiaotao's tone still told her to go out and look for something immediately.

After adding some water to the pot, Yang Xiaotao went to open the pot and turn out the braised pork.

"Brother Xiaolong, plate!"

"Hey, here we come!"

Tong Xiaolong's voice came from the door, and then he came in with a plate. Yang Xiaotao immediately poured out the braised pork with a spoon.

Two plates were quickly filled.

"It looks delicious!"

Tong Xiaolong looked at the braised pork and his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

This time Yang Xiaotao prepared two portions of everything except one fish.

In Yang Xiaotao’s words, people who are busy cooking must also eat!

But he knew in his heart that this was for his eldest sister and Ran Qiuye.

He can also take advantage of it.

"How many more are there?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the dishes on the chopping board and said immediately, "And the last one, scrambled eggs with leeks!"

"It'll be ready in a moment, wait until it comes out of the pot and use this to make dumplings!"

"Okay, I'll take it out first!"

With that said, Tong Xiaolong was not afraid of the hot plate and walked out immediately.

"Hey, is anyone here?"

Yang Xiaotao still wanted to ask, but he had already ran out.

"So fast!"

Add oil to the pot, Yang Xiaotao stirs the leeks and eggs together, and immediately puts the oil in the pot when it boils.

There was a sizzling sound, and a burst of oil vapor floated out of the kitchen.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the oil can, "The oil used in this meal is probably enough for two old people to eat for a week!"

After a while, when the eggs are fried, add some water and boil them.

After waiting for a while, Yang Xiaotao felt that it was almost done, tasted the saltiness, and then prepared to serve it.

"Brother Xiaolong, plate!"

He shouted, but there was no response from behind, but there was the sound of someone's footsteps.

When Yang Xiaotao turned around, he saw the old man walking over with a plate in one hand and a smile on his face.

"Chief, why are you here?"

The old man put the plate on the stove and said, "Why can't I come? I heard that you are so busy. Come and take a look!"

"You said you were a guest, but you became the chef!"

"No, nothing to do!"

Yang Xiaotao put down the shovel and wiped his hands.

"Stop talking now, let's watch the food!"

The old man looked into the pot and twitched his nose. Yang Xiaotao immediately reacted and picked up the shovel to scoop out the food.

"Chief!"

At this time, Tang Mingyue and her eldest sister came over, holding hemp rope and chopsticks in their hands.

"You guys, it's outrageous to just let the guests work here!"

Tang Mingyue lowered her head and smiled, "This is what he asked for!"

The eldest sister was not happy to hear this and said, "Yeah, look at people's consciousness. Those who eat but don't work have no right to speak!"

The old man was embarrassed, and Yang Xiaotao said quickly, "Chief, I came early, and I just happened to come over and give him a shot!"

The old man shook his head, "You're the one who cooked two tables of food!"

"Haha, I'm the one who cooks at home, aren't I used to it!"

"Besides, I'm just showing off! I hope to come here more often to have a meal!"

Yang Xiaotao said, and the eldest sister and the old man both laughed.

The eldest sister even smiled and said, "Come here whenever you want, and bring your children with you. It happens to be very lively here."

"Hey, okay, just don't mind making noise next time you come."

The eldest sister said yes, and then the old man quickly picked up the plate and smelled it, "Well, these stir-fried leeks and eggs are pretty good, I'm appetizing just by looking at them."

The eldest sister hurriedly said, "These leeks are irritating to the stomach, please eat less!"

"Don't worry, I feel much better now. I'm fine!"

"You are so brave! Who knows who will be uncomfortable when the time comes!"

"Ah, haha..."

The two spoke in bickering tones of concern in the kitchen.

Yang Xiaotao next to him watched with gusto.

I have never seen such a scene where the parents are at odds with each other!

Ahem

Seeing Yang Xiaotao and Tang Mingyue smiling at the side, the old man hurriedly said, "Everyone is here, hurry up and get to the table."

As he was about to leave, Yang Xiaotao finally realized, "Wait a minute, there will be another fish!"

As he spoke, he opened the lid of another pot, and the rich aroma surged up along with the steam, quickly spreading throughout the kitchen.

The old man immediately smelled the fish fragrance and couldn't help but sigh, "It must have lasted all afternoon for such a fragrant fish!"

"No, only two hours!"

While talking, he took the thing from Tang Mingyue's hand, put it in a bowl, picked up boiling water and scalded it before weaving it with hemp rope.

After a while, a pair of small rope ladders was ready. Several people looked on and saw that Yang Xiaotao moved quickly and couldn't help but admire his ability.

"Mingyue, help me!"

Yang Xiaotao used two shovels to shovel the fish. Tang Mingyue hurriedly picked up the plate and followed him to put it inside.

"Be careful, don't burn your hands!"

The eldest sister was talking to the side, watching the two people put the fish away, and Tang Mingyue hurriedly put the plate on the stove.

Yang Xiaotao's shovel still held the fish tail.

The elder sister on the side immediately placed the ladder at the tail of the fish.

Finally, Yang Xiaotao found another piece of cabbage and placed it on the tail of the fish, so that the remaining fish soup dripped down, and it was done.

The old man looked on and said to the eldest sister, "Don't mention it, doing it like this has a special meaning!"

"It's like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate. It has the potential to soar to the sky!"

Several people laughed after hearing this.

"Okay, it's time to serve!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's serve it!"

"We can't keep our guests waiting. They have to take this meal orally!"

The old man was talking while carrying leeks and eggs, while Yang Xiaotao walked into the living room carrying the fish.

I was also thinking, who will come this time?

The eldest sister and Tang Mingyue walked towards the outhouse.

In the yard next door.

Ran Qiuye hugs Xingxing, and the more he looks at it, the more he looks like the Dragon Boat Festival.

I felt deeply that this family had too many followers for Yang Xiaotao.

The little guy stayed in Ran Qiuye's arms without crying or fussing. From time to time he stretched out his hand to play with Ran Qiuye's hair, looking very comfortable.

Next to her, an old woman with gray hair was feeling Sister Zhang's pulse. Her expression was calm, which made people feel at ease.

The eldest sister and Tang Mingyue walked in and slowed down when they saw this scene.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Mingyue asked in a low voice. When Xingxing saw her mother coming, she thought of looking for her.

"It's fine to wake up, nothing's wrong!"

"He who doesn't cry or make trouble is much better than his brothers and sisters!"

As he said this, he handed the child to Tang Mingyue and did not forget to praise him.

"That's when you're full, but when you're not full, you make that sound!"

Ran Qiuye nodded immediately, "They are all very similar in this regard!"

"Especially Xiaosi, even though she is a girl, she cries louder than anyone else!"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, it's all his father's habit..."

The two whispered to the side, laughing from time to time.

At this time, the old woman had finished reading and said with a smile, "It's good for both adults and children."

"Just pay attention to rest and ensure nutrition!"

Mrs. Tong smiled after hearing this, and then asked, "Mama Lin, am I a boy or a girl?"

The old woman shook her head, "I don't know either, but boys and girls are pretty good!"

"Yes, yes, both boys and girls are fine!"

Mrs. Tong realized what she was doing and hurriedly explained.

The old woman stood up and smiled when she saw Tang Mingyue and the eldest sister, "I have checked this child's body and he is stronger than other children of the same age."

"But you have to control your food intake and eat small meals often. It's okay to be hungry, but it's not good to have too much food!"

Tang Mingyue nodded immediately. The eldest sister stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's hand, smiled softly, "Sister Lin, please!"

"No trouble, it's just a matter of convenience!"

"Besides, I also like these children. Looking at them makes me feel at ease!"

The old woman smiled, and then looked at Tang Mingyue, "You child, you should pay attention to rest and don't be tired, especially during this period of time, you should have a good rest!"

"Otherwise, it will be easy to leave the root of the disease."

"Women, you have to know how to take care of yourself!"

Tang Mingyue nodded silently after hearing this.

The old woman could see the other party's unspeakable secret, and didn't say much, but looked at Ran Qiuye, "This comrade Ran Qiuye is in good health, you can learn how to eat from her!"

Tang Mingyue and the eldest sister looked at Ran Qiuye, and then nodded.

Ran Qiuye was a little puzzled. Her diet?

Isn't it just eating her man's food?

Is there anything special?

But when she heard her say this, Tang Mingyue was also worried.

Or, let Sister Mingyue go to the house for dinner?

Then Xingxing has to go too.

In this case,

it seems that it is not impossible!

"Sister Lin, go to the living room quickly, I'll wait for you now!"

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

The old woman looked at a few people, and then walked to the living room.

"Sister Tang, let's go and listen?"

Ran Qiuye remembered the task assigned to her by Yang Xiaotao, and couldn't help getting excited.

If those people left photos, it would be a good story in the future!

Tang Mingyue held the sleeping child in her arms, and looked at the camera in Ran Qiuye's hand and couldn't help but smile, "Sister, let's go to the next door to listen!"

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

Sister agreed happily.

Tong also got up happily and followed.
