"Don't worry, I never mistreat capable people," Zhong Wanshan paused, "Just do your job well. If you need anything, just tell me."
Well, this capitalist is not so bad.
Xie Yunjiao thought, then she would just reluctantly help him try.
"Then can I go back early today and help you study the recipe?" Xie Yunjiao said.
"Go ahead." Zhong Wanshan waved his hand. If Xie Yunjiao could really make the unique eight-treasure porridge, let alone leaving early today, she could leave early every day.
This was the first time in recent times that Doudou saw Xie Yunjiao come back so early.
He happily rushed towards Xie Yunjiao: "Mother!"
Xie Yunjiao opened the bamboo basket, which contained various snacks that she had "brought back" from the Qian Mansion.
When Zhong Huaishuang heard that she had a son, she asked the kitchen to pack some snacks for Xie Yunjiao.
These snacks are exquisitely made and taste good.
But they are all snacks, so they should be eaten slowly with tea. If you eat them too fast, you might choke.
What you fear will come true. Before she could say anything to Doudou, Doudou couldn't help but grab a piece of dessert and stuff it into his mouth.
As a result, he couldn't swallow it, and he choked, his eyes rolled back, and his face turned red.
Xie Yunjiao was quick to act. She hugged Doudou with both hands and performed the Hekram maneuver on him.
The snack stuck in his throat finally flew out, and Doudou started coughing violently, crying loudly in fear: "Mom..."
"Don't be afraid. It's my fault. I should have told you not to be anxious."
She just looked up at the craftsman who was working, and unexpectedly something happened.
She gently wiped the tears from Doudou's face, but Doudou shook his head aggrievedly: "No, the snack fell on the ground, what a pity."
It fell before he could even taste it properly. What a pity.
Xie Yunjiao: “…”
This child! She thought he was afraid, but it turned out that he was sad because the snack fell to the ground.
"Dabao, Xiaobao, come here and have some snacks." Doudou called the two little pigs. Now the two little pigs have grown up a lot and their butts have become round.
Two chubby pink piglets waddled over, grunting and scrambling for the snacks on the ground.
Doudou held the snack in his hand. This time he learned his lesson and started to chew it slowly.
Xie Yunjiao went into the kitchen, made some sugar water, and secretly added some spiritual spring water to it for him to drink.
I hope his throat feels better.
Doudou was eating snacks, and the two craftsmen couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they watched. After all, they had never eaten such exquisite food before.
Seeing this, Xie Yunjiao asked them to come over and eat.
The two craftsmen refused several times, but finally couldn't help but give it a try.
"So this is what rich people eat. It tastes really good, much better than sesame seed cakes."
"How does your sesame cake compare to other people's snacks? How many sesame cakes can you buy with this piece of snacks?" The old master spoke in a loud voice, and he spoke by shouting, so loud that his voice could be heard by the next door.
Not long after, Fan rushed over with red eyes, drooling at the snacks in the craftsman's hand.
My goodness, she had never seen such exquisite snacks in her life, let alone eaten them.
"Xie, you hid the food and secretly ate it, then shared it with outsiders without even thinking about your father-in-law and parents-in-law. Your conscience must have been eaten by a dog."
The last time Gu Lan came to get the meat but returned empty-handed, they hated Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao to death.
Now that she has the chance, she must grab all the snacks.
Xie Yunjiao learned from Aunt Tian that the old Gu family and outsiders had said a lot of bad things about her and Gu Huai.
Talking bad about them, ignoring them, and still wanting to eat her food? No way!
"If you want to eat, go buy it yourself. My food didn't come from the wind."
"Xie Yunjiao, you give the snacks to outsiders, but don't give any to me, your mother-in-law?"
Xie Yunjiao looked at Fan coldly, thinking that she would definitely cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide, doing the standard three tricks of causing trouble at home.
Why are the people in the Gu family stewing dead turtles into soup? They are full of bad intentions.
Always keeping an eye on their family and can't stand seeing them do well.
If she becomes rich in the future, she will definitely move away from here and stay away from these top-notch people.
"Mom, this is what the boss asked me to bring back to comfort the child. Do you want to snatch it too? I am also pitiful. I have never had the love of my grandparents.
Now you, as a grandmother, have to snatch food from your child's mouth. Isn't that unreasonable?"
Doudou's eyes turned red and he burst into tears: "Grandma, please don't take Doudou's snacks. Doudou really likes them."
Doudou's loud crying made Fan feel a little embarrassed, and the craftsman also looked at her unkindly.
"Mr. Gu, how can you, an adult, snatch food from a child? Do you have any shame?" The old master had a loud voice, and when he yelled, several families nearby could hear it.
Xie Yunjiao said to the master, "Uncle Chen, please don't speak so loudly, otherwise the villagers will hear it and ruin the reputation of our Gu family. My mother-in-law is not that kind of person, right?"
Fan was so angry that she wanted to die, but she didn't want to get entangled with them any more, so she could only leave angrily.
It’s not that she was afraid of Xie Yunjiao and Doudou, she just didn’t want to cause any more trouble. If Old Man Gu found out, he would definitely scold her again.
Doudou wiped the tears from her face and smiled at Xie Yunjiao.
Gu Huai brought back two wild pheasants from the mountain. When the craftsmen saw them, they exclaimed that they were great treasures.
"This wild pheasant stew is the most delicious and sweet, even better than chicken raised at home."
Xie Yunjiao looked at the pheasant in Gu Huai's hand, her brain working rapidly.
"Ma'am, where are you going?"
"I'll go chop some bamboo and make you some delicious food later. Kill a pheasant first and wait for me to come back and take care of it. I'll sell the other one tomorrow. I'm sure it'll fetch a good price."
Doudou ran out happily following Xie Yunjiao, saying he wanted to help.
Xie Yunjiao cut some bamboo in the village's bamboo forest and cut it into pieces so that she and Doudou could take it back with them.
When he returned home, Gu Huai had already killed the chicken.
Xie Yunjiao put various medicinal herbs into the sugar, and then began to build a rack and put the bamboo on the fire.
When the bamboo is heated, bubbles slowly appear at the cut surface, followed by water.
The water increased in volume and was all collected by Xie Yunjiao into a basin.
"Mom, this is amazing! This bamboo can actually produce water!"
"This is called Huoquan, also known as bamboo sap water. It's the nutrient in bamboo. Ancient books record that this bamboo sap water can be used as medicine, clearing away heat and calming nerves, moistening dryness and removing phlegm. It's used for coughs with excessive phlegm, tongue stiffness caused by stroke, asthma and chest tightness, and phlegm-heat and convulsions in children."
"So should we drink it now?" Doudou was eager to try.
He didn't understand the pharmacology, but the bamboo water smelled good, so he wanted to try it.
"Drink a little, don't drink too much."
Xie Yunjiao poured a small bowl for Doudou. He took a sip and it tasted fragrant, but a little bitter, then sweet.
He was reluctant to finish it, so he asked Xie Yunjiao to have a sip as well. Xie Yunjiao tried it and found that it tasted really good.
Unexpectedly, the ancient books were not deceiving her. This bamboo water really did have the fragrance of bamboo and was very refreshing.
