The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 98 Getting ready to wait for you to go home
When Li Xiaodao asked Cook Wang to go back, he called Xiao Xizi to come over. Not long after, Xiao Xizi came to the yard, looking for Li Xiaodao in the kitchen.

"Miss Li, if you have any orders, tell me!" Xiao Xizi stood at the door of the kitchen and said heartily.

"I want to go out to buy some vegetables and meat, please take a car with me. There are a lot of things to buy, and it will save effort to bring them back in a horse-drawn cart," Li Xiaodao said while packing the breakfast dishes in the kitchen.

"No problem! But you don't need to go there yourself for this kind of thing, you talk about what you want to buy, I'll go and buy it for you!"

Li Xiaodao put the washed dishes and chopsticks into the cabinet, wiped his hands while thinking: "This way... that's fine, then I'll trouble you to run for me."

"Don't dare to say it's troublesome, Miss Li is too polite, the master asked me to serve you, it's the right thing to do," Xiao Xizi bowed and said.

Li Xiaodao smiled at him: "Are you literate? I'll write you a list, do you know it?"

Xiao Xizi scratched her head in embarrassment: "Ms. Li, Xiao Xizi can't read, but I'm the smartest servant by my master's side, and my master likes to send me to do things. I have a good memory, so you can tell me what you want to buy. I can write it down, and there are very few mistakes or omissions."

Li Xiaodao thought for a while, nodded, and then told Xiao Xizi the same thing.

"Buy some dried mushrooms and fungus, some fresh mushrooms, some green onions, ginger and garlic, some fresh green leafy vegetables, some lotus root, some lean meat, a piece of tofu, and rice. I have to buy some rice. Oh, yes! Remember to ask for another chicken, some sea oysters, big ones; pass by the dim sum candy shop, and buy some snacks and dried fruits!"

Li Xiaodao finished speaking in one breath, and seeing Xiao Xizi wringing her fingers in thought, she wondered if she remembered it.

"Well... I'll read it to you again, you can see if it's right", Xiao Xizi counted her fingers while thinking about it, and repeated it to Li Xiaodao.

Li Xiaodao listened to it once, good guy, I really didn't miss anything.

"What about the quantity? Miss Li didn't specify the specifics, so I'll see what to buy?" Xiao Xizi added.

Li Xiaodao smiled and said, "It's just the two of us eating at home. You can buy as much as you can. Rice and dry goods can be bought more, and less can be bought."

Xiao Xizi nodded and said, "I understand!"

Li Xiaodao took out the silver from his sleeve and put it in Xiao Xizi's hand, "I reckon it should be enough. If it's not enough, come back and tell me, and I'll make it up for you."

Xiao Xizi weighed the money in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's enough for safekeeping."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Xizi bowed to Li Xiaodao and said goodbye, then went away to work.

Li Xiaodao looked at the yard and the house, he didn't go downstairs for two or three days and didn't clean it, it looked a bit messy.

Clean up before your husband comes back.Besides, there are still ten days to celebrate the new year, so it's time to clean up.

She first swept the front and back yards, and then took a rest for a while, then swept the upper and lower floors of the small wooden building, and the yard was much cleaner at a glance.

She swept slowly, not in a hurry, but Li Xiaodao was sweating just after sweeping the front and back of the house.

After drinking a glass of water and resting for a while, Li Xiaodao poured another pot of hot water, and then took a rag to wipe the tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, etc. on the upper and lower floors. Although he was very tired after wiping, the windows were clean. so comfortable.

Simply wipe the windows?Sometimes working is so strange, once you start working, you will not be able to stop, it may be given to PUA by the dopamine secreted during labor.

The windows Li Xiaodao is short and there are not many places that can be reached, and the carved wooden window lattices are also difficult to clean, so she wipes the window sills clean, and does not force herself to reach them.

After the house was cleaned up, Li Xiaodao washed the rag and poured out the dirty water. After cleaning up, he stood in the front yard, admiring his masterpiece with his hips crossed.

"I'm such a hardworking daughter-in-law... Wait, I seem to have read this sentence before", she joked to herself while admiring it.

The house has just been cleaned up, looking at the sun, it is almost noon.

At this time, Xiao Xizi just came back from shopping, knocked on the door and shouted a few times outside.

Li Xiaodao hurriedly opened the door, and together with Xiao Xizi moved the rice and vegetable and meat snacks back into the house.

Xiao Xizi paid for the food at the medical hall, and after helping to tidy up the things, she hurriedly led the horse over there, unhacked the horse, and went to the kitchen of the medical hall to have lunch.

Li Xiaodao picked up some food for himself at noon, and then hurriedly put the chicken in the pot and scooped it out, marinated it with cooking wine and light soy sauce first, and it will be very tasty when it is cooked again in the middle of the afternoon.

Tonight she is going to make braised chicken for Xianggong.

My husband hasn't been home for fifteen days, so why don't you cook a few dishes to be more grand?
She didn't cook braised chicken very often, er...it's better to say that she didn't cook much when she lived alone before time travel, maybe once or twice a month.But she likes to eat this dish, so she has a deep memory.

There is no ready-made braised chicken sauce, so I can only try the normal method by myself, I hope it will be delicious!

A braised yellow chicken alone is a bit monotonous, then make homemade tofu, add a vegetable, and cook a lean meat soup at the end, hehe, three dishes and one soup, perfect!

The remaining lean meat and lotus root can be made into dumplings tomorrow.

Although it's not Chinese New Year yet, the dumplings are delicious, and you can make them with your husband, which is also a kind of fun.

Li Xiaodao was working while drawing a small abacus in his heart, and he was beaming.

Boss Wan didn't summon her yesterday or today. It seems that she is busy with official procedures. No. 20 is the tenth day. She has agreed that she will take a vacation. She can stay at home with her husband for a day, and there is no need to worry.

It seems that the work is not too heavy when I first joined the job. If it can be so easy in the future, the money is quite comfortable to earn.

She also recalled that when she first joined the company before time travel, she had nothing to do for the first month, but then she became more and more busy as she became more proficient in the business, until she finally worked overtime day and night.

Li Xiaodao sighed. Although he doesn't have a mobile phone to play with now, he seems to have returned to the normal rhythm of life, and he feels an indescribable sense of comfort.

After marinating the chicken, Li Xiaodao began to wash and chop the vegetables, making preparations first.

It was already mid-afternoon when the dishes were washed and prepared, and cut up and put on plates.

I have to go to the next door and tell Xiaoxizi that it's time to go to pick up my husband.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaodao took off his homemade apron, took the key and left the courtyard, and went to the next door to find Xiao Xizi in the medical clinic.

*

In Jingde Academy.

On the night before the ten-day holiday, the evening self-study can be voluntary or not.

After Pei Zhiqi finished his schoolwork in the afternoon, he went back to the house to pack his things, preparing to rush to the mountain gate early and take a carriage home.

When the lady came last time, she probably told about the appearance and clothes of Xiaoxizi who came to pick her up, the approximate shape and color of the horses and carriages, and also made an appointment to pick her up between Shenzheng and Youchu.If you pack up and go down the mountain now, it happens to be around Shen Zheng, and the carriage should arrive after a while after arriving at the mountain gate.

With quick hands and feet, Pei Zhiqi packed up his things and put them in a bamboo basket, then picked them up on his back, opened the door and walked out of the house.
