Chapter 284: Several people ate up the whole pot of skewers
Lan Shenye nodded slightly, looking into the room thoughtfully, and whispered, "I chatted with him for a while yesterday. He's a pitiful man."
Lan Xiyue patted her brother's shoulder and said firmly, "Brother, don't worry. Once the wound heals and the bones grow back, he can try to walk."
Lan Shenye pondered for a moment and said, "If he is willing to stay after he recovers, I can take him in as a servant so that he can earn some money to supplement the family income."
Lan Xiyue chuckled softly upon hearing this, her eyes curved. "Brother, whatever you decide is fine!" She paused, then turned to Xiao Muzi and instructed, "It'll be a while before he wakes up, so you need to take good care of him. He needs to stay in bed for the next few days, so please help him out if he needs anything."
After she finished speaking, she waved to Lan Shenye and said, "Brother, I still have to go to the pharmacy. I'll leave first."
Lan Shenye nodded: "Okay."
Lan Xiyue returned to her attic, changed into men's clothes neatly, and then left the house.
As soon as I arrived at the pharmacy and it opened, there were already several patients waiting.
She took the pulse, treated the patients and prescribed medicine one by one.
System: "Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host, the merit value has reached one thousand!"
Lan Xiyue's eyes lit up, and she secretly rejoiced: "Oh my god, I finally accumulated a thousand merits!"
Just as she was rejoicing, Qian Duoduo stormed in angrily, her face flushed red as she angrily shouted, "Yueyue!"
Lan Xiyue looked up and saw her like this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Duoduo, you came at the perfect time. I just finished my consultation and was just about to come look for you!"
Qian Duoduo stared at her aggrievedly, his voice full of accusations: "I just went to the Marquis' Mansion to look for you. I wanted to take you to see the progress of the renovation of Kelaixuan, but your sister..."
Lan Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have already moved out of the Marquis' Mansion."
Seeing Qian Duoduo still looking angry, she quickly moved closer, cupped her hands around her face and rubbed it, coaxing her, "Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. I'll deal with her for you later! A concubine's daughter, showing off all day long, do you really think you're a big shot?"
Qian Duoduo pouted, but seeing Lan Xiyue defending her like this, her anger subsided a lot. She pulled her sleeve and said, "Yueyue, let's go to Ke Lai Xuan! It's completely different now, completely different from before!"
Lan Xiyue responded readily: "Let's go!"
The two of them left the pharmacy and walked towards Kelaixuan.
When she arrived at Kelaixuan, Lan Xiyue remembered that when she passed by just now, the door of Kelaixuan was closed. Now the door was wide open, revealing the brand new decoration inside.
Qian Duoduo pulled Lan Xiyue in and saw that the hall was bright and clean, with brand new tables and chairs neatly arranged. There were several landscape paintings hanging on the wall, which could be called elegant.
Lan Xiyue looked around and nodded slightly: "The decoration is nice." It has a modern and ancient style, which is the effect of her drawing.
Qian Duoduo pointed at the specially made round table and frowned: "Yueyue, the table was made according to your drawing, but why is there a hole in the middle? It's so inconvenient to place the dishes like this." She gestured with her hand, her face full of confusion.
"Have the ingredients been prepared in the kitchen?" Lan Xiyue asked instead of answering.
"Of course it's ready." Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up. "I wanted to invite you here to taste the fresh food today. I asked people to buy some fresh food early in the morning." As he said this, he shook his head proudly.
Lan Xiyue tapped her forehead lightly and said with a smile, "Then you're in for a treat today. Let me show you my cooking skills." Before she finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
The kitchen stove was blazing, and several kitchen helpers were picking vegetables. Lan Xiyue filled a basin with clean water to wash her hands, then instructed Chuchun and Chuxia to wash the vegetables on the chopping board.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo quickly winked at the chef beside him.
"Don't just look at me," Qian Duoduo lowered her voice, "learn carefully."
The cook nodded repeatedly, sweat beading on his forehead.
"Bring some bamboo sticks." Lan Xiyue said without raising her head.
The cook hurriedly took out a bundle of bamboo sticks from the depths of the cupboard. Lan Xiyue looked at Chuchun and said, "Clean the bamboo sticks."
Chuchun responded and took it and washed it carefully.
Qian Duoduo came close to Lan Xiyue, blinking curiously: "Yueyue, what do you want bamboo sticks for? I was wondering when I saw you drawing it on the blueprint earlier."
Lan Xiyue just smiled without saying a word. With a flick of her knife, the fresh meat on the chopping board was cut into evenly sized cubes.
She took the bamboo sticks handed to her by Chuchun and skewered the pieces of meat.
Lan Xiyue asked Chuchun and Chuxia to follow her example and string the vegetables together. Qian Duoduo and her personal maid Xiaohong looked at each other, washed their hands and joined in. Soon, they had strung all kinds of vegetables together.
While the four of them were busy, Lan Xiyue had already started cooking the seasoning on another stove.
She put star anise, cinnamon and other spices into the pot one by one and simmered them over low heat. Soon, the rich aroma filled the entire kitchen.
When the soup boils, Lan Xiyue puts all the skewered ingredients into the pot.
The bright red meat and emerald green vegetables are swirling in the boiling soup, gradually becoming dyed with an attractive sauce color.
In just a moment, she picked up the pot and poured the steaming skewers into the special copper pot.
Lan Xiyue brought the copper pot to the hall and placed it in the center of the specially made round table. Chuxia had already set the table.
Qian Duoduo couldn't wait to pick up a skewer and took a bite without caring about the heat. His eyes immediately lit up: "Oh my God! This is so spicy and delicious, I've never tasted anything like it!"
Lan Xiyue shook her head, "Eat slowly, be careful not to burn your mouth!" After saying that, she looked at Chu Xia and the others, "Sit down and eat, there's so much."
Chuchun, Chuxia and Xiaohong bowed to express their gratitude and sat down at the table.
Qian Duoduo stared at the hole in the middle of the table, still puzzled. "Yueyue, it's okay not to make this hole, right? Can't we just put the pot directly on the table?"
Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes helplessly and tapped the table with her fingertips: "Didn't I draw a charcoal basin on the blueprint? Next time you eat hot pot, put the charcoal fire underneath and the pot on top. It's steaming hot, warm and convenient. If you don't eat hot pot on weekdays, you can also cover it with wooden boards."
"Hot pot?" Qian Duoduo blinked, obviously more interested in this new word.
"I'll write down the recipe later and you can ask the chef to follow it." Lan Xiyue said casually.
Qian Duoduo's face lit up immediately: "Yueyue, you really are my God of Wealth! Ever since you gave Jin Manlou those new styles, business has been booming!"
She lowered her voice and added mysteriously, "Besides, my father said that no one dares to cause trouble in our shop now."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Why are you being polite? I'll take the lion's share of the profits anyway."
Qian Duoduo nodded with a smile: "Of course!"
Qian Duoduo and a few other girls were eating skewers for the first time and they were all very excited. Qian Duoduo was eating this flavor for the first time and she couldn't help but eat too much. Several of them finished the whole pot of skewers.
