Chapter 13 Good intentions
Just when Jiang Mingyue was carrying the beef home depressedly, Xie Yuan glanced at Jiang Minghong who was concentrating on reading, got up and walked out quietly.
In the kitchen, Xie Yuan saw that the noodles had fermented and started making pies. Before Jiang Minghong came, he had already chopped the meat filling, which had been marinated for so long.
Roll the dough into a long strip and coat it with minced meat, roll it up and then roll it into a long strip, and fry it in a pan. On weekdays, his breakfast is mostly a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun and a fried egg. It is rarely as troublesome as today. It was time-consuming, but Xie Yuan enjoyed it.
At half past nine, when Jiang Mingyue passed by Xie's house, her nose flapped slightly. Brother Xie was making delicious food again. It smelled so good!
Xie's house, waves of aroma wafted into the study. Jiang Minghong was no longer interested in studying. He looked up and saw that it was already half past half hour. Thinking that it was time for his sister to get up, he reluctantly closed the book. Although it was only half an hour, he Has benefited a lot.
In the kitchen, Xie Yuan saw Jiang Minghong coming out and said, "I've made breakfast. Eat it before going back."
"Thank you sir, but I'm still waiting for me to come back. How about having breakfast with me some other time?"
Xie Yuan nodded, picked up the pie that had been packed earlier and handed it to Jiang Minghong.
"If you make more, you can take it back and eat it!"
Jiang Minghong wanted to refuse, but the pie was so fragrant and golden, so he couldn't help but take it.
"Thank you sir."
In Jiang's kitchen, Jiang Mingyue, who was making milk tea, saw her brother coming back and said, "Breakfast will be ready soon."
Jiang Minghong walked into the kitchen carrying the pie.
"What is sister cooking?"
"Milk, I just went shopping in the East Market to see if there was any milk seller, so I bought it back."
Jiang Mingyue looked at the pie on the plate.
"Mr. Xie gave it to you?"
"Ok!"
Jiang Minghong put down the plate and looked at a large piece of beef in the basin on the chopping board and asked.
"How do you plan to eat so much beef?"
Jiang Mingyue touched her nose and said, "When I bought them, I only thought about how delicious the beef dumplings and braised beef would be. It was only after I left Dongshi that I remembered that I don't know how to make them."
Jiang Mingyue poured a cup of milk tea into a bamboo tube, added some brown sugar and stirred it. Then she took a freshly boiled egg and handed it to her younger brother: "You can send these, plus beef and beef bones, to Brother Xie."
"to make!"
Jiang Minghong put the things into the basket, waited for his sister to clean the plate, and then carried it to the next door.
Xie family, Xie Yuan sent Jiang Minghong away, carried the basket to the kitchen, took out the milk first, blew the hot air on it, and took a sip, eh! Not bad, it seems that in addition to cooking porridge, she has now learned to cook milk, oh! And eggs.
Xie Yuan sat down and took a sip of milk and an egg. The pie he had worked so hard to make did not touch a single bite. It seemed that the eggs and milk were more delicious than the pie.
In the Jiang family, Jiang Mingyue saw that her brother was back, picked up a pie and handed it to him, and couldn't wait to take a bite.
The outer skin is crispy and crumbly, and it is exceptionally soft and waxy in the mouth. The texture is very delicate and the meat is full of flavor.
"This pie is well made. It feels even more delicious than the ones made by Aunt Cui." Jiang Mingyue commented after swallowing the pie in her mouth.
Jiang Minghong nodded, it was indeed delicious.
The two siblings finished the five pies, and they were so full that they burped. Neither of them touched the hard-boiled eggs, but each drank a small bowl of milk tea.
At the beginning of the morning, Xie Yuan took the book and locked the door to Yu's private school. Not long after he left, Jiang Mingyue and her brother pulled the cart out.
When buying gifts, the two also planned to buy some spring water, as there was not much water to drink at home.
When buying gifts for Xie Yuan, the two siblings picked and picked them with great care. They spent an hour buying the gifts and bought some paper, ink, pens and inkstones on the way, and then went to the water shop to buy water.
It was already early noon when we left the water shop. Although it was already noon, they were not hungry yet. After some discussion, they bought two packs of pastries. If they were hungry in the afternoon, they would fill their stomachs first.
At the end of Shen Shi, Xie Yuan returned home, put on coarse linen clothes, and went into the kitchen to process beef. There are only a few common ways to cook beef, and the most common one is braised beef, which she should like.
At the beginning of the Youshi period, Jiang Mingyue put some milk into the porridge. After a while, the fragrance of milk mixed with the fragrance of rice porridge floated out.
Jiang Mingyue covered the pot and simmered it over low heat. A quarter of an hour later, she saw that the porridge was cooked and turned off the heat. She was about to call her brother to eat when the courtyard door suddenly rang.
Seeing that her brother had already opened the door, Jiang Mingyue took out a bowl and just filled two bowls of porridge when she saw Jiang Minghong walking in with a large plate of braised beef.
"Sister, Mr. Xie will stay and have dinner with us."
"it is good!"
Jiang Mingyue quickly put the porridge and steamed buns on the tray, poured out more than half of the beef, handed it to her brother, and said, "Go and accompany Mr. Xie! I'll eat in the kitchen."
"Mr. Xie, there is no need to deliberately avoid suspicion here."
Jiang Mingyue looked at her brother in confusion.
"In Mr. Xie's heart, there is not much difference between my sister and me."
Jiang Mingyue was stunned, what do you mean? Before she could react, her brother turned around and walked out.
Although there is no need to deliberately avoid suspicion, she has already reached the age of hair and has not entered the main hall after all. Then during the meal, for the sake of her reputation, the two of them deliberately opened the door.
In the main hall, Xie Yuan took a sip of milk porridge and said warmly: "This is the first time I know that porridge can be cooked like this. It has a different taste."
"Growing up, my sister has always had some weird ideas when it comes to food. When she was at home, she often discussed how to make food with Aunt Cui, and every time she made it, it was delicious."
Jiang Minghong picked up a piece of beef and ate it: "My sister and I went to Junyou for dinner before, and she would always order a plate of braised beef.
Although the chef's food is delicious, it is far inferior to what the chef cooks. Your cooking skills are so good, but did you learn from the master? "
She really likes braised beef.
"I have never gone out of my way to learn it. As long as the method is not complicated, I will be able to eat it two or three times. When I was young..."
In the kitchen room, Jiang Mingyue heard the constant voices in the main hall and knew that the atmosphere was good. She turned away her eyes and concentrated on eating. The braised beef was very suitable for her taste.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Mingyue saw that the two of them had finished eating and walked out of the kitchen.
"I haven't prepared much food at home. If there is any lack of hospitality, please forgive me, brother."
Xie Yuan glanced at the bright girl, looked away and said, "I'm not picky, and the porridge is delicious."
Xie Yuan thinks the porridge she cooks is delicious! Jiang Mingyue felt instantly fulfilled.
"Then I'll cook more tomorrow morning and ask my brother to deliver it to you. Brother Xie won't have to cook porridge."
"Okay, I'll trade beef buns with you tomorrow morning."
When Jiang Mingyue heard this, she swallowed her saliva first, and then waved her hands hurriedly.
"No, that's so embarrassing."
"It's me who should be embarrassed. After all, you bought the beef, so that's settled."
Jiang Mingyue sent Xie Yuan away, closed the courtyard door, and turned to look at his brother: "What did you mean when you said before that in Brother Xie's heart, there is not much difference between you and me?"
Jiang Minghong was silent. He felt that the answer might not be what his sister wanted to hear.
