Daily life of the imperial mausoleum

"Two benefactors, there is no way to repay your great kindness. Please accept our siblings' worship!" Fang Huan settled down with his mother, as if he had grown up all of a sudden, and solemnly took his younger brother's hand to bow to the benefactor.If it weren't for the two benefactors in front of me, I'm afraid she and her younger brother would be orphans without father or mother.

"Hey~ Get up! He saved people, not me." Xia Xiaoqiao was most afraid of others kneeling to him, but people here seem to have this habit, whether it's gratitude or something, when emotions are intense He can't wait to kneel down to express his feelings, he is still not used to it.However, if you think about it carefully, this is probably similar to bowing to express gratitude in previous lives, right?

"If it wasn't for Xiao Langjun calling for help, my mother wouldn't have been saved so quickly." As an ancient version of a senior rotten girl, Fang Huan had already cultivated a pair of piercing eyes in the crowd. Unusual attitude, think about it carefully, if Xia Xiaoqiao hadn't asked for help just now, the indifferent man in front of him probably wouldn't bother to pay attention to them at all?Therefore, Fang Huan is more grateful to Xia Xiaoqiao than to His Majesty the Emperor who rescued people.

"Well, you should hurry up and take care of your mother. By the way, who are you? Why are you here?"

"We, my mother is the adopted daughter of the Cui family. The family was originally an official in the border town. After the rebels entered the city, my father was martyred. It happened that my uncle passed by and rescued our family. Now our family is ruined and homeless, and there are rebels everywhere outside. Uncle told us to take refuge in the Imperial Tomb and find Boss Xia. Do you know where Boss Xia is?"

"granduncle?"

"My uncle's surname is Cui!" Fang Huan said shyly. Because she was an elder, she never had the nerve to ask her uncle's name. She only knew that her surname was Cui, just like her mother's.

"Oh~ so it's Brother Cui, I see. If I'm not wrong, the Boss Xia he mentioned is me, but I'm not a big boss, I just plan to open a private restaurant here." Xia Xiaoqiao said He explained with embarrassment that he also said he wanted to open a small restaurant here when he was bored. Who knew that Big Brother Cui actually remembered it and called him Boss Xia. How dare he call him the boss of his small business?

"So it's you, that's great! Boss Xia, hello, little girl Fang Huan, this is my younger brother Fang Yuan, A Yuan, come, let's thank Boss Xia for taking us in with my sister." After finishing speaking, he knelt down again Fan.

"It's coming again~" Xia Xiaoqiao wailed, why are the citizens of Beiyue so keen on kneeling down?It's almost the same as the citizens of Kimchi Country in the previous life.

"Okay, okay, since you're here, let's live here with peace of mind. This embroidered house is really simple and hard to live in. However, the houses where the soldiers guarding the mausoleum lived were not cleaned, so they can't live in them for the time being. I think you have brought them too. There are a lot of people coming, why don't you send a few people to clean it first, and then prepare some quilts and braziers, and then you can move in when your mother wakes up. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Thank you, Boss Xia." Without kneeling this time, Xia Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and ran away in a hurry.

"Well, Brother Yuan, you don't mind taking them in without your consent, do you?" Xia Xiaoqiao didn't know Jiang Yuanzhen's real identity, but he already regarded him as a "roommate" who lived here together , To take in a newcomer, logically, you should discuss it with your roommate. He just left him in a moment of soft-heartedness. Thinking about it now, it is indeed a bit inappropriate.

"I don't mind. There are still many houses here. Anyone who Xiaoqiao likes can live in." In the eyes of His Majesty the emperor, except for the little imperial chef, other mortals are just clouds. Those who like it can stay, and dare to do anything bad Thoughtful, there is no shortage of places for water ghosts in the river course of the imperial mausoleum, isn't it?

"Brother Yuan, you are really a good person! By the way, where is my vegetable basket?" I was busy saving people just now, and I didn't know where to throw the vegetables and vegetable basket I picked up.

"I ordered someone to send it back to the kitchen." His Majesty said unhappily, "You told me to make carrot balls today." After such a long delay, it must be too late to make meatballs now. Jiang Yuanzhen watched Xia Xiaoqiao make meatballs , I know that it is very time-consuming to do this. Originally, they went to dig radishes early in the morning, and they were full of plans to eat radish balls at noon. Now it seems that it is too late.

"Hey~~ Let's eat meatballs at night. It's too late now. I'll make radish and roast meat for you. It's also delicious!" Huangling's radish is just ripe, crisp, tender and juicy. , it is delicious when used in cold salad, braised pork, stewed old duck soup or radish balls, it is versatile!In the previous life, Xia Xiaoqiao liked to go to farmers' homes to buy this versatile dish and store it back. First, the price is affordable, and second, it tastes like farm food.

It has to be said that since Xia Xiaoqiao's private farm restaurant opened, the wild animals near the imperial mausoleum have been in bad luck!He was besieged by the big brothers of the guards twice in three days. He couldn't escape even if he wanted to. His Majesty the Emperor, who wanted to please his sweetheart, set up barriers on several hills near the imperial mausoleum. The guards caught some prey alive and threw them into captivity. , ready to slaughter fresh game for Boss Xia to make ingredients at any time.

Fresh radishes, peeled and cut into pieces, are braised with large pieces of wild boar in soy sauce. You only need to put a little broad bean paste and wild pepper, and the taste is very delicious.Shredded radish meat, boiled and then cold salad, is also a nutritious and greasy side dish. The wild duck that was just slaughtered in the morning, choose the old duck that is about two years old, and simmer for a whole morning. It is delicious and rich. Add some cut pieces Put the radish in, and a classic old duck radish soup is ready.

The remaining radish skins are not wasted. Xia Xiaoqiao washes them separately and puts them outside the kitchen to dry. When the time comes, pickle them with coarse salt, then cut some garlic, wild salamanders, and wild fruits into them to make hot and sour radishes. The skin is appetizing and refreshing to eat. His Majesty the Emperor only ate it once, so he took the jar of kimchi as his own, and he was not allowed to give it to other people (ghosts) to eat.The next day the guards went down the mountain to buy a lot of earthen pots and fresh radishes, saying that the master ordered them to help make kimchi together.

"This hot and sour pickled radish skin is delicious only if it is made and eaten now. It will not taste good after a long time. Anyway, there are still many radishes in the field. We can make it anytime you want to eat in the future." Your Majesty the arrogant foodie, Xia Xiaoqiao looked at the big radishes all over the floor, and was speechless for a while. He decided to cut these radishes into radish strips, and after drying them, they can be eaten as sauced radish sticks. When vegetables are scarce in winter, they can be boiled It is also delicious to soak and eat fried meat.

Because His Majesty the Emperor was determined not to let Xia Xiaoqiao cook for the other servants of the Fang family, Xia Xiaoqiao had no choice but to take some fresh wild boar heads and venison from the kitchen, a bag of white rice, a bag of white flour, He also picked some fresh vegetables and asked the guards to bring them to them. There is also a small kitchen at the embroidery house. The servants of these big families must be able to cook, so he didn't care about it.

The servants of the Fang family were probably taught very well by Mrs. Fang Cui. After discovering that Xia Xiaoqiao went to pick vegetables for them in person, he offered to help take care of the vegetable garden in the future. Some of them specialize in taking care of the garden. It's very good, and it's not a problem to grow vegetables.

"Well, the vegetable garden here is not big, and I can take care of it by myself. If you want to live here for a long time, why don't you assign the vegetable garden on the carpenter's workshop to you? What do you want to eat in the future? You can grow vegetables by yourself, and if it is not convenient to go down the mountain to buy seeds, you can also give the money to the guards, and let them bring it back when they help go down the mountain to buy." Xia Xiaoqiao said after thinking about it.

"Thank you, Boss Xia!" The old slave of the Fang family had a wink, and immediately agreed, and at the same time admired Xia Xiaoqiao even more, thinking that this is really a good person who doesn't make trouble.

That night, Cui Shi finally woke up, walked around before the gate of hell, Cui Shi seemed to have figured it out, and did not mention the matter of seeking death, but saw a pair of sons and daughters closely following her like thieves , Cui was moved and sad, hugged her son and daughter tightly, asked her in detail what happened after she jumped into the river, and then called her personal servant girl, and asked her to open a box that she was dowry.

"Mother, what is this?"

"This is for the benefactor. Tomorrow morning, you and I will go to pay respects to the benefactor."
