Then, several figures followed.
But the Shen family didn't know that at this moment, they were sitting on the ground as if they had survived a disaster, but when they thought of Xiao Jinlin being kidnapped by a woman, they suddenly became panicked again.
“Ouch!”
Chen Xinli screamed.
It turned out that when the monster appeared just now, the little snake didn't know where to hide.
Now, the little snake actually bit Chen Xinli's wrist.
Chen Xinli looked carefully, but the little snake was nowhere to be found.
Looking at the wound on her wrist, it didn't look like a snake bite, but more like a bump on a rock.
Could it be that I am dazzled?
Chen Xinli was puzzled when she suddenly heard a woman's voice:
"Everyone, I am the manager of the manor. You can call me Miss Yun. I would like to trouble you to rest in the manor today."
It turned out that it was Yun Gu and Shen Jinlin walking out of the yard.
After hearing that the group had not yet had dinner, Aunt Yun gave everyone the use of the kitchen.
The main reason is that the young master doesn’t care about food.
There is only one cook in the villa. Perhaps the cook heard that the young master went crazy today, and no one knows where he hid.
It was inconvenient for Yun Gu to tell everyone about the situation in the manor, so she had to let them cook for themselves.
Although the Shen family had already eaten buns on the tea mountain, they had been busy all day.
It's already midnight and I'm really hungry.
Chen Xinli and others were taken to the kitchen by Yun Gu, who warmly told them that they could use the food at will.
Although there are few things in the kitchen, they are neatly arranged. There is rice and flour, pork, a lot of seasonal vegetables, and condiments such as onions, ginger, and garlic.
Seeing the pepper, Chen Xinli was very surprised.
Eating too much in the middle of the night is difficult to digest. Seeing that there was rice, meat, and pepper, I thought of cooking a big pot of lean meat porridge for everyone.
"Ms. Yun, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Chen Xinli estimated the appetite and ordered two bowls of rice.
Wu and Zhang got busy.
Even Old Mrs. Wu came to join in the fun and help light the fire.
Chen Xinli originally planned to cut the meat herself.
But Wu Yuehua snatched it away, "Ali, you've worked hard today, go and rest, just teach me how to do it!"
"Yes, Ah Li, you are just a little kid. You must be tired after a long day. Let Second Aunt handle these things!"
The two of them had no doubts about the changes in their daughter/niece in recent days and agreed that it was due to the gods.
Chen Xinli had no choice but to give up.
Ask A Niang to cut the meat into shreds and then call her, and ask Second Aunt to prepare some diced and sliced white radish.
Yun Gu was a little surprised to see that this family was neither humble nor arrogant, but rather seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Moreover, she was surprised by the family's attitude towards the girl.
Next to the kitchen are three small courtyards in a row, which are used to receive farmers when they send their animals.
Tonight, the Shen family rested here.
After Yun Gu arranged accommodation for everyone, she left.
Under the dark moonlight, Chen Xinli could only see the general layout, but she also knew that the owner of this courtyard was extremely particular.
For example, the house seemed to be built entirely of blue bricks, and even the courtyard wall was higher than that of Qian Dayou's house, a wealthy family in Qianniu Village.
Chen Xinli walked through the courtyard and into the room, only to see that the group of people were actually sitting on the ground.
"Father, Second Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Ali, this chair is too expensive. I'm afraid it will break if I sit on it."
The light in the house was very bright, more than ten times brighter than the soybean-sized light at home.
Shen Xinli took a closer look.
Wow, all the furniture is made of huanghuali wood.
Who is the owner of this villa?
Such a good thing is enough for a small courtyard where servants live.
Looking at the bed next to it, there is no need to say more.
The bed was covered with a cotton quilt made of fine cotton cloth.
Although there are few things in the room, they are all exquisite.
Ah, they are all exhausted from the journey, and needless to say, they smell a lot. If they go to bed, they will probably have to wash up tomorrow.
"Second Uncle, let's all clean up properly today. Aunt Yun won't mind."
Kuai Wei and Li Xiang were sitting on chairs at this moment and nodded.
Meng Yun smelled the sweat on his body and said that he really couldn't stand himself now.
Chen Xinli went to the kitchen to help A Niang marinate the lean meat. She poured onion and ginger water into the meat and stirred it, then added salt and pepper.
Just wait until the porridge is cooked.
Pour all of this into the pot and stir, then add the diced radish and that's it.
Chen Xinli taught Second Aunt to use salt to remove moisture from the white radish slices, then wash them clean and add salt and vinegar again. After soaking for a while, they become sour and delicious pickled radish.
I have some free time now.
"Second Aunt, let's clean up properly today. Let's boil a pot of water first!"
Chen Xinli saw that the big pot was still empty, and thought that it would take a long time for the porridge to cook, so she could take a shower first.
So, two big pots in the kitchen were used at the same time.
After a while, Chen Xinli magically took out two large wooden basins, two large wooden barrels, as well as bath beans and towels.
When leaving home, Shen Xinli packed up all the usable items of the Shen family and put them into the space.
Wu Yuehua and Zhang Fangju looked at the two familiar large wooden basins and barrels, tears welling up in their eyes.
These are things from home!
The two women cleaned up quickly, gave the children a bath first, and then helped them wash their hair.
Then the men took a quick shower and washed their hair.
Even Old Man Wu and Old Lady Wu were invited to take a bath one by one.
Looking at the Shen family's coordinated movements, Meng Yun and Kuai Wei widened their eyes.
However, before he could recover, he saw Shen Fugui and Shen Fuyou actually started washing clothes.
While washing, Shen Fuyou glared at them: "Hurry up and wash, or we won't be waiting for you for dinner."
The two people who were assigned one or two wooden buckets immediately started drawing water.
Fortunately, it is summer and the hot water is available quickly.
Meng Yun almost cried as he looked at the muddy bath water he had taken.
He couldn't understand why he, a noble young man and the last disciple of the Ghost Doctor, had ended up living like this.
Soon, after Chen Xinli finished taking a bath and washing her hair, the big pot of porridge finally began to bubble, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of rice.
Chen Xinli puts the marinated lean meat and diced radish into the pot.
Stir quickly and roll a few times.
The lean meat and diced radish are cooked by the residual heat in the pot, and then salt and pepper are added to season.
Finally, add a few drops of sesame oil and sprinkle with a handful of coriander before serving.
In the pot, there was a round bowl of white rice porridge filled with shredded meat and green coriander, which smelled very fragrant.
Chen Xinli quickly filled two bowls and said, "Second Aunt, you guys eat first. I'll take it to Aunt Yun. We're using someone else's kitchen, so it's only right that we give them a midnight snack."
"Okay, go ahead and let us serve it and cool it down at the same time."
Chen Xinli carried two bowls of porridge and two small portions of pickled radish and walked towards the inner courtyard.
