He Wei

After a night of tossing and tossing, Xu Hong was a little hungry, thinking about eating in his sleep, holding Xue Chengyu's arm and calling for osmanthus cake countless times...

At the beginning, Xue Chengyu hadn't fully woken up, and he was vaguely curious to hear Xu Hong talking in his sleep. After a while, he opened his eyes and listened to Xu Hong's continued chanting.

"Don't run... Osmanthus cake..." Xu Lang kept rubbing his head against Xue Chengyu's arm, as if the arm in his arms was made of osmanthus cake, reluctant to let go.

Xue Chengyu was amused by Xu Lang's cute appearance, he rubbed Xu Lang's head fondly, carefully put down Xu Lang's hand on his arm, and turned over to get out of bed.

Since Xu Lang wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he made it for him.

Since the technique of cooking pear water was affirmed by Xu Lang three years ago, Xue Chengyu has started to learn cooking skills, going to the kitchen from time to time to study the recipes he learned in books.

It's a pity that Xue Chengyu is still competent when it comes to boiling medicine and picking medicine. It is really difficult for him to wash and cook. If you don't cook a dish twice, you will definitely not be able to control the heat. It will be either bland or salty.

What is gratifying is that Xue Chengyu's fire control is not bad. So far, he has never made a pot, and he can barely swallow it.

Xue Chengyu told his subordinates to hand over the 500 taels of silver to Jiang Qi, and then he went to the kitchen, took out the copied production steps and started to work.

However, as soon as I got started, I encountered difficulties. Maybe it was the first time I didn’t master it well. I accidentally poured too much water when I loosened my hands.

Just when she was confused about what to do next, the cook in charge of the kitchen heard that her young master was going to start cooking again, so she didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and rushed to the kitchen to help.

It is also not good for the cook to interfere with Xue Chengyu's constant cooking in the kitchen. Although the sage said "a gentleman stays far away from the cook", this is far away from the slaughter of livestock, and does not include the matter of cooking pear water with noodles.Since Xue Chengyu likes it, let him go, not to mention that most of these dishes are made for Xu Hong.

"Master, what new dish do you want to study today?" The cook asked softly.

Seeing the cook coming, Xue Chengyu seemed to see a savior, and handed her the list, "You came just in time, please guide me how to make this sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

The cook took the list and looked at it carefully, and then laughed like a silver bell, making Xue Chengyu confused.

"But there's something wrong with what I transcribed?"

"The young master remembered nothing wrong...it's just that the young master made a mistake with the noodles and glutinous rice flour, so the harmony became more and more rare. From now on, just follow the instructions on the list. If necessary, the young master will call me."

"okay."

After receiving the guidance of the cook, Xue Chengyu began to show his strengths. It may be because there is no need to add a variety of seasonings. This time, except for a small episode at the beginning, the production went smoothly and was finished quickly. Pot cooking.

While waiting for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to be cooked, Xue Chengyu cooked some hot porridge for Xu Lang. It's winter, and Xu Lang's stomach is not good, so it's better to eat something warm.

After the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was steamed, Xue Chengyu returned to the house with food, while Xu Lang was still sleeping.

Xue Chengyu came to the bed, and now Xu Lang hugged the quilt like a little rabbit, curled up.

Seeing the harmless sleeping face of humans and animals, Xue Chengyu couldn't help lowering his head, and kissed Xu Lang's forehead.Xu Lang seemed to feel Xue Chengyu's kiss, and slightly twitched his eyelashes.

Seeing that Xue Chengyu suddenly came up with a fun idea, he picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and shook it in front of Xu Lang.Xu Lang smelled the sweet scent of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, shrugged his nose, and followed the moving route of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Just when Xu Lang was about to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Xue Chengyu put the cake back on the plate in an instant, clasped the back of Xu Lang's neck with lightning speed, and kissed it directly.

The moment the two soft lips touched each other, Xu Huang woke up suddenly, looked at Xue Chengyu dully, and his little face immediately turned red.Seeing that the effect he expected had been achieved, Xue Chengyu let go of Xu Lang.

Xu Lang hugged the quilt, touched his lips, and stammered and asked, "Young...Master...what are you doing..."

Xue Chengyu pampered Xu Lang's head, picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and deliberately ate it in front of Xu Lang.

"Of course I told Xiaohong to get up, the sun is already high."

Looking at the osmanthus cake, Xu Lang couldn't help swallowing, and his stomach groaned uncontrollably.

"Hungry?" Xue Chengyu asked jokingly.

Xu Hong nodded and shook his head, Xue Chengyu sneered, helped Xu Hong to sit up, and put the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by himself in Xu Hong's hand.

"Eat it, I made it myself."

After hearing that Xue Chengyu made it himself, Xu Lang was very surprised, but what made him even more curious was why did Xue Chengyu know that he wanted to eat osmanthus cake?Could it be that he was talking in his sleep?

Xue Chengyu read what he was thinking from Xu Lang's expression, and took another piece of pastry and ate it into his mouth, "You were talking in your sleep before you woke up, holding my arm and calling Osmanthus cake, I think you should be If you’re hungry, I’ll go to the kitchen and make it for you, try it.”

Xu Lang obediently picked up a piece and tasted it, and felt that it tasted good. Out of the control of hunger, Xu Lang ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake like a storm while drinking hot porridge.

Xu Lang didn't remember what Xue Chengyu did to him last night until he finished eating. As the saying goes, if there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Xue Chengyu is such a shrewd person, he must have a plan for this move.

Seeing that Xu Lang had finished eating, Xue Chengyu struggled for a long time before tentatively asking: "Is Xiao Lang still angry with yesterday?"

Xu Lang didn't respond to Xue Chengyu, she lowered her head and pouted, playing with the quilt to herself, as if ignoring Xue Chengyu who was waiting for the answer.

"Last night... It was my fault... I shouldn't have tormented you so many times... It made you so tired... Your waist still hurts..." Xue Chengyu didn't dare to look directly into Xu Hong's eyes when he said this, for fear of seeing his resentment small eyes.

Is there any reason to be unhappy after going to the brothel?Of course, with Xu Hong by his side, there is no need for a girl, and Xu Hong's jealousy was strong last night, if he didn't push the boat along, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity?

"Master...you...don't say it..." Xu Hong's face was blushing, and when he thought of the lingering last night, Xu Hong's head and waist hurt together, and there was an expression of grievance on his face.

Xue Chengyu thought Xu Lang was still angry, rubbed his red earlobes, and asked softly, "Why are you blushing again?" He said, but found the right time to wrap his hands around Xu Lang's waist.

Xu Lang felt a little bit of uneasiness, and immediately stopped him: "Master... wait a minute..."

Before Xu Hong could finish speaking, Xue Chengyu pushed Xu Hong to the side of the bed, scratched the soft flesh on Xu Hong's waist, and the itchy Xu Hong laughed and burst into tears.

"Don't... haha... it's itchy... haha... let me go—" Xu Lang ignored the pain in his back and struggled to escape Xue Chengyu's restraint.

"Are you still angry with me?" Xue Chengyu asked lightly.

Xu Lang laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe, her little face flushed, and she patted the bed hard, "I won't give birth... I won't give birth... I was wrong——"

Xue Chengyu quickly let go of Xu Lang, and rubbed his waist instead, "Just admit your mistake earlier, why bother to suffer this crime."

Xu Lang bit his lip and didn't want to speak. He was the one who went to the brothel yesterday, and he was the one who ravaged him in every possible way at night. How come it was him who was wrong the next day? It's too unreasonable.

"Master... when did you become so bad... always tormenting me like this..."

Xue Chengyu continued rubbing Xu Lang's waist with a slight smile, and replied: "I also heard from Jiang Qi, he said that this can make Xiao Lang become obedient, even though Xiao Lang has always been very obedient, I don't need to worry about it, but I just don't love him." initiative."

initiative?If he took the initiative, wouldn't his waist hurt every day?He didn't want to go back to the days when Xue Chengyu was tossing him every day.

During that time, he was dreaming almost every day, and his back hurt every day. Master Xue could know what the two of them were doing in the house when he saw him dangling in the yard with his waist supported. Does anyone need to say more?

In order not to continue talking about the topic that made him blush, Xu Hong forcibly changed the subject: "Didn't the sage say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen? Why does the young master always like to go to the kitchen to get smelled of oily smoke?"

Xue Chengyu expected that Xu Lang would ask such a question, and explained slowly: "Xiao Lang's thinking is too narrow. The sage said that far away from the kitchen refers to staying away from the slaughter of livestock. In fact, Confucius persuaded King Xuan of Qi to implement benevolent governance and be gentle when governing the country. Treat your subjects well, this is to stay away from the cook."

What Xue Chengyu said made sense. For a while, Xu Lang couldn't find anything to refute. When he was in a dilemma, Xu Lang remembered that Xue Chengyu had cooked braised fish for him a long time ago. It seemed that Xue Chengyu had personally selected and killed the fish. Can't help but have the capital to fight back.

"The young master cooked braised fish for me before, didn't he also kill a living person and get close to the cook, why is he called a gentleman now?"

"It depends on two conditions, one is for whom to stay away, and the other is why you have to stay away. There is nothing wrong with a gentleman cooking for the one he loves, why should he stay away?"

After hearing this, Xu Lang felt warm in his heart. Cooking for the one he loves is also a part of enjoying life.

Although the hobby of cooking is nothing among various noble hobbies, it is the best in Xu Lang.

After all, one loves to eat and one wishes to do, what else in the world is better than this?The end of the year is approaching, with Xue Chengyu's temperament, maybe he will cook two dishes for the family.

"It's almost Chinese New Year. My father ordered some clothes from Qiao's tailor shop. There are some clothes for you, me and Cheng Yi. You can try them on when the time comes."

Xu Hong's head hurts when he heard that there are new clothes. The clothes that Xue Chengyu buys for him every New Year's Eve are enough for him to wear for a year, and he bought two more clothes this year. .

"I haven't worn the one I bought before, so why did I order it again?"

"It's the New Year's Eve, so I want to celebrate it. Besides, it's what my father meant, and I can't dissuade you. You can take it if he decides it for you. It's right to be this year's New Year's money."

"New Year's money..." Xu Lang sneered and shook his head helplessly.Yes, this year he is an adult, even if Master Xue "pains" again, he will not give him New Year's money anymore.
