After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich
Chapter 5 Showing off cooking skills
In the narrow, dark room, after the people left, Xu Mengxiao quickly took out a bottle of green healing agent from the space and drank it, then ate two pieces of purple rice bread to cushion her stomach.
My body felt much better immediately.
She wanted to go back to the Xu family to see Zihan and the others, but she herself had not recovered yet. She had to put her to use as soon as possible, and then persuade Lu Lizheng, and then she could lead her mother and younger brother out of the control of the Xu family's best.
Seeing that it was noon, Xu Mengxiao went to the Lu family's kitchen, intending to light a fire for them to cook, but found that the Lu family was almost too poor to open the pot.
"What are you doing!" Lu Hai rushed up and snatched the deflated rice bag from her hand.
"What I want to do is probably impossible." Xu Mengxiao muttered.
Lu Hai heard this. He had been learning boxing and kicking skills from his master since he was a child. He was not familiar with Xu Mengxiao, a little fool in the village, otherwise he might notice her changes.
"If it weren't for your Xu family, we wouldn't be hungry and full!" Lu Hai was full of resentment. "We should have demolished your row of blue brick houses. Our family was supposed to build them." House of!"
Destroy it, demolish it, Xu Mengxiao is happy to see the result.
"We never lived there anyway."
Lu Hai didn't expect that she would dare to refute, and thinking of her family's situation, he choked back the unpleasant words.
"Lu Hai, come out." Lu Lizheng greeted, "This is the thirty taels of gift money returned by the Xu family. Go to the town and buy some tonics for your elder brother."
"Why is it only thirty taels?"
Lu Lizheng's expression was also very ugly, "What a bunch of scoundrels! They said they could only take out thirty taels for the time being, and even issued an IOU of twenty taels."
"But doesn't it count to more than eighty taels? This little money is not enough to buy anything."
"You go and borrow some from the clan." Lu Lizheng sighed.
Xu Mengxiao, who was making noodles, was thinking about tonic? There are probably hundreds of millions worth of tonics in my space, including ginseng, cordyceps, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., as well as extracts of various Chinese medicinal materials.
It's a pity that there is a treasure mountain in vain, but it is difficult to take it out.
……
When Lu Hai shamelessly borrowed two taels of silver from his clan and came back, he saw that Xu Mengxiao had already prepared a hot pot of noodle soup.
Although he was almost tired of eating, he still sat down and started eating from the earthenware bowl.
"Girl, come over and eat too." Lu Lizheng saw her face turned pale when she woke up and was busy doing all kinds of things, and his resentment towards her lessened.
Xu Mengxiao shook her head. When she was cooking just now, she took out a lot of food from the space and almost ran out of food.
"Huh?" Before Lu Lizheng could continue to persuade her, Lu Hai suddenly let out a startled sound and started drinking again. When he put down the bowl, the bowl of noodle soup bottomed out instantly.
"It smells so good. How was this made?" His eyes widened and he couldn't help but grab another bowl.
Lu Lizheng also started eating, and couldn't stop eating. His eyes were in disbelief, "I have never tasted such delicious noodle soup. Even when your mother was alive, she could never have tasted this delicious."
Of course, this is no ordinary gnocchi soup.
Xu Mengxiao not only took meat oil from the space, but also added chicken essence seasoning. The originally rough-tasting elm skin noodles were also mixed with a lot of refined wheat flour, and they also beat four or five eggs into it and mixed it evenly. , the texture of the noodles soup is smooth and tender.
There are also chicken essence and meat oil to enhance the freshness, so the taste is naturally not bad.
"Did you add other things?" Lu Hai became irritable immediately after realizing this. He rushed forward to check and was surprised to find that not a single egg was missing at home, and the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and even the flour had not been touched much. .
But she made a big pot of gnocchi soup!
While talking, Lu Lizheng ate the second and third bowls. If Xu Ruyi was a delicate and expensive person who couldn't do rough work, he felt more and more that he had made the right decision.
"Girl, you can eat the rest."
"I haven't eaten enough yet." Lu Hai muttered, and when he met Xu Mengxiao's eyes, he immediately hummed and walked away awkwardly.
Xu Mengxiao hesitated and said: "Uncle Li Zheng, I'm not hungry. Can I give the rest to my mother and younger brother? They must have been hungry for several days. I'm afraid..."
Lu Lizheng frowned. Naturally, he didn't like this kind of taking things out. To raise Xu Mengxiao, she also had to support her mother and younger brother.
What if the Xu family comes to rely on them again...
But seeing that Xu Mengxiao's short clothes could barely cover her hands and feet, and what she was saving was her own food rations, "It's just this once, it won't happen next time."
At this time, Lu Hai shouted excitedly outside the kitchen, "Dad, big brother is awake, big brother is awake again!"
Lu Lizheng suddenly stood up, and before leaving, he glanced at Xu Mengxiao in surprise.
Xu Mengxiao touched her face, what's wrong?
She took out the last two bowls of gnocchi soup, but took one bowl to Lu He's room.
Lu Li was seeing her behavior and suddenly wondered if she was still the shy little fool who was less courageous than a quail in his previous impression?
"You have some conscience!" Lu Hai took it, "Brother, try it quickly, it tastes very good."
Xu Mengxiao took the remaining bowl back to Xu's house, but smiled. She would not let her family suffer.
Long before this pot of noodle soup, she had borrowed the Lu family's pot and made a pot for her family using her own ingredients.
The food is more nutritious.
The reason why I wanted to tell Lu Lizheng was because I didn't want to be exposed later and arouse their suspicion.
It can also make her mother and little brother feel more at ease.
The Xu family has never been engaged in farm work, and they are not in the fields now. Fortunately, the shabby thatched house they live in is at the back of the blue brick house. Even the toilet is too dirty for them, and there are very few people. used.
Xu Mengxiao sneaked in and shocked Wang.
As soon as he saw her, he looked overjoyed and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you okay! Why are you back? They said that you were detained by the Lu family to settle a score, and that you were going to marry Lu He in secret."
"It's okay, Mom." Xu Mengxiao's face turned cold as she handed them two large bowls of solid noodle soup.
"This is what the Lu family asked me to serve you. They are very nice to me and wouldn't do that kind of thing."
"But then Lu He..."
Xu Mengxiao thought about the man she just saw, who didn't say a word about her stay, as if her presence or absence would have no effect.
"It's good for him. He gave me a hand when he hit me that day."
Although she had the purpose of testing him at the time.
"I can trust you, it seems that the illness is not that serious." Mrs. Wang said worriedly, "Then the Lu family is a good family. Lu Lizheng also spoke to us before. Since I didn't express my anger to you, you must serve them well and don't come back. Come on, don’t come back here!”
It was precisely because Lu Lizheng was a good person in his memory that Xu Mengxiao thought of going along with it, and it was indeed difficult to resist.
But things soon changed.
"Zihan?" As soon as he comforted Mrs. Wang, Xu Mengxiao noticed something was wrong with him.
"Second...sister, wuwu, I thought I would never see you again!" Xu Zihan struggled to come over, and Xu Mengxiao realized that he had been injured again.
"They hit you again!"
"No, I dropped it myself." Xu Zihan's eyes were evasive, obviously not wanting her to worry.
Xu Mengxiao gritted her teeth and gave them the good wound medicine that she had prepared before. It contained a lot of anti-inflammatory and blood-stasis and pain-relieving ingredients, as well as nutritional supplements for Wang's body. It was packed in a small porcelain bottle.
"This is for you. Don't let anyone find it. Eat it quickly. I will give it to you later."
"No, don't come!" Ms. Wang was frightened by her and didn't understand why she was so bold all of a sudden.
"If Lu He can still get better, you can live a good life with him. Don't worry about mother. As long as you are good, mother will be fine!"
Seeing that she had not been completely brainwashed by the Xu family, Xu Mengxiao became even more determined to take them away, "If you wait a little longer, I will definitely let you leave here."
Xu Zihan didn't know why he suddenly believed in this second sister. She had obviously been the one who needed to be taken care of in the past, and even held others back.
"Well, second sister, I will protect my mother!"
Xu Mengxiao left him some pork jerky and beef jerky that she had eaten as snacks in the apocalypse, and they were all packed.
With a blink of an eye, Xu Zihan didn't know where she had taken out so many things, so she pushed him to hide the food.
Look at the thick pimple soup. There are two beautiful poached eggs in it. When you take a chopstick, it is full of diced meat, and even shrimps and yams that Xu Zihan has never eaten before!
"This is noodle soup, it's all meat!" Ms. Wang was surprised and at a loss. She didn't know what happened to her daughter, but Xu Zihan persuaded her. The mother and son finished the meal quickly, burped with satisfaction, and applied it again. Please give me the ointment sent by Xu Mengxiao.
"Mom, this medicine is refreshing and cooling. I don't feel any pain anymore!"
"That's good, that's good." Wang cried with joy.
Before Xu Mengxiao left the Xu family, she narrowed her eyes. She was about to add some ingredients to the water tank used by the Xu family, when she saw a figure not far away.
"Why did you come here?"
It was actually Lu Hai.
"If my elder brother hadn't asked me to come and take a look, I wouldn't have cared about your life or death at all!" Lu Hai snorted and saw that she was fine, "Go back quickly, I'm going to the town to buy medicine."
Is this because she is afraid that she will be beaten by the Xu family? Xu Mengxiao watched him jump onto an ox cart parked not far away, turn around and head towards the Lu family.
