Chapter 124 Cui Shao Xi is here
“Third Aunt, this chicken
should you kill it? Do you dare to kill?” After boiling the water, Lian Fang Zhou was immediately embarrassed, and she hurriedly looked at Third Aunt with a smile. She really didn’t dare to kill chickens.
“What’s the point? It’s not murder!” Third Aunt gave Lian Fang Zhou a white look, and handed her the spatula in her hand, rubbed her hands on the apron, took a bowl and put a little water in it. She sprinkled a pinch of salt into it, stirred it with a spoon, and turned it into salt water. Holding a knife in one hand and a bowl in the other, Lian Fang Zhou asked Lian Fang Qing to pick up a wooden bucket to follow.
The bowl was used to hold the chicken blood, and adding some water and salt made the chicken blood coagulate quickly. This kind of chicken blood would not be scattered after being boiled in the pot, and it will taste smoother and more tender.
The wooden barrel was used to hold the chicken after the chicken was killed, so as to prevent the chicken from flapping and flying wildly, spilling blood everywhere.
“Hold the chicken feet for me, you have to work hard, don’t let it break away!” Third Aunt said as she walked out, and Lian Fang Qing happily agreed.
Lian Fang Zhou could almost imagine the swiftness of Third Aunt’s hand with the sharp blade, because only a few minutes later, she returned with a bowl of chicken blood and a bloody knife.
“So fast!” Lian Fang Zhou was taken aback.
“Isn’t it just killing a chicken? It’s not difficult!” Third Aunt put down the bowl and knife, and said: “Forget it, I’ll clean up the chicken, you bake the cake! Don’t forget it later. Steam the steamed buns. This chicken stews quickly, and the soup will be very flavorful in at most an hour!”
In the past, Lian Fang Zhou didn’t know how to deal with it. She just bought the chicken and directly sent it to the butcher. If you insisted on doing it yourself, you could do it but you would be embarrassed! When Third Aunt spoke, Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t dispute so she hurriedly smiled and agreed.
Although Third Aunt was distressed at killing two chickens at once, she was very happy when she thought of eating delicious chicken for lunch and dinner and maybe there would be more to eat tomorrow. She went happily, and was very busy outside with Lian Fang Qing.
The second Lian house was busy preparing lunch for the workers. On the road from Yuhe County to Dafang Village, several horses were running briskly.
Sitting astride was a pair of young master and servant. The master was in their early twenties, wearing sapphire blue round-necked and arrow-sleeved robes with a royal blue ‘Three Friends of the Year’ pattern. The belt of the same color was studded with white jade, and the waist was decorated with a yellow sachet. He was wrapped in a lake green shaded cloak and wearing high-soled soap boots.
Because the cloak came down, almost covering his entire head and face, and outsiders couldn’t see his appearance, but just by looking at the temperament and the radiantly long figure displayed between his gestures and feet, he must be a handsome young man.
He was followed by his entourage, wearing green clothes with a dark green cloak, and carrying a string of three or four gift boxes. They were looking around from time to time.
These two people are really Cui Shao Xi and his little servant Cui Yi.
“Young Master, you are so honest. We left the housekeeper to come here, I really don’t know what you pictured!” Cui Yi couldn’t help complaining.
When they had first come from De Xing to the Su family in Shuang Liu County, they had been accompanied by the second housekeeper, a maid, a small servant, and a full carriage and horse with people waiting on the way. But the young master had insisted on just the two of them and had almost lost his baggage.
When it was time to go home and he refused to leave with the second housekeeper and the servants, insisting on going his own way. Now he had come to Ye he County without telling them. Cui Yi knew that he had come to see Lady Su’s distant Lian cousin.
However, he didn’t understand why he was looking for Miss Lian? Was there anything fun and interesting to do here?
Cui Shao Xi glanced at him when he heard his muttering and said, “If you are not happy and don’t want to follow me, go back and follow the second housekeeper! Or, why don’t you just go home and wait for me there?”
“Never!” Cui Yi hurriedly said with a smile: “This servant thinks it’s better to be with you, otherwise, this servant will not be relieved!”
Cui Shao Xi snorted: “Since you know what you are here for, stay with me and don’t complain!”
“Master, don’t you feel sorry for me?” Cui Yi muttered in a low voice, but didn’t dare to say anything else, and hurriedly followed Cui Shao Xi.
The master and servant walked down the road, casually inquiring as they went, and soon arrived at Dafang Village. When they looked up, they could already see the scattered houses.
Cui Shao Xi raised his eyebrows with a very happy and expectant expression on his face. He couldn’t help reining in his horse and stopped briefly. He sighed into his hand, smiled and asked Cui Yi: “You say, wait for the girl to see us. What will be her reaction when it comes?”
Cui Shao Xi’s eyes were bright and shimmering, his thin lips slightly raised, and he smiled lightly.
Although the smile was shallow, it came from the heart.
Cui Yi curled his lips and said, “Well, I would be surprised and happy, so happy that I couldn’t speak! Young Master, you have come so far to see her in person. This is the blessing of her eight lifetimes!”
“Why do you bastard talk so badly?” Cui Shao Xi glared at Cui Yi with dissatisfaction, and said sternly: “Listen to this Master! Consider Miss Lian and the Lian family more respectfully, don’t make me ashamed with your bad manners!”
Cui Yi glanced at Cui Shao Xi weirdly, and made a prolonged voice “Oh-“. He thought that the girl had no parents and there were only four siblings, so how many little kids should he respect?
Cui Shao Xi had something on his mind. Hearing Cui Yi’s answer, he felt a little guilty subconsciously. He straightened his waist unnaturally and stared at Cui Yi with a straight face: “Don’t say that this master didn’t warn you, Miss Lian is the cousin of my cousin. Sister-in-law values Miss Lian very much! Disrespect to Miss Lian means disrespect to my cousin’s wife; disrespect to my cousin’s wife means disrespect to my cousin, disrespect to my cousin is disrespect to the Su family! The Su family is my mother’s maiden family, do you dare to despise Su Home? That is to look down on my mother, look down on your master and me! Do you hear this and understand?”
“Listen, heard! This servant has heard it! This servant must be respectful and polite, and dare not embarrass him!” Cui Yi was sweating coldly on his back and couldn’t figure out what his young master said. Say it like this? It sounds reasonable, but to despise Miss Lian is equivalent to despising the master? How can this be?
Cui Yi felt a headache, he really couldn’t turn this corner!
“It’s fine if you understand!” Cui Shao Xi gave him a satisfied glance, and said, “Let’s go!” Pulling the rein, they slowed down and walking slowly into the village.
On the other side came a middle-aged man who was wearing a tan shirt and looked quite decent. Cui Shao Xi thought for a while, then simply turned over and got off his horse, calling out “Uncle, please stay!” Busily stepped forward, bowed his hands and asked with a smile: “I don’t know. , Which is Miss Lian Fang Zhou’s house? Uncle please give me directions!”
Seeing that he got off the horse, Cui Yi hurriedly rolled over and got off the horse to keep up.
The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed, he looked at Cui Shao Xi, and asked, “You are looking for Fang Zhou? Who are you?”
Cui Shao Xi was taken aback for a moment, and was a little overwhelmed by the middle-aged man’s question.
Just when he hesitated to say what to say, the middle-aged man patted his forehead with “Ah” and asked with a smile: “You are from the Su family in Shuang Liu County? You are the son of the Su family?”
