Chapter 39 Assorted Fragrant Noodles
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since I arrived at the General's Mansion. The matter of slavery has been settled, and the house has been settled. Xia Jin should also leave. Today, Lin Ziyi asked Mu Gu to come over and help Xia Jin carry her luggage.

If you want to leave the General's Mansion, you have to tell the old lady, so Xia Jin arrived at the main courtyard early, and five or six days have passed since Nanny Lin was found to have poisoned the old lady and was sent to Dali Temple.

Housekeeper Luo and Mrs. Sun are mainly responsible for the affairs of the main courtyard now.

Seeing Xia Jin coming, he took another look at Mu Gu standing behind her, and housekeeper Luo nodded slightly, making a gesture of invitation.

"Miss Xia, this way please."

Xia Jin and Four Seasons went in together behind Butler Luo, walked on the promenade through the garden arch, and finally stopped at the rockery not far in front of the flower hall in the main courtyard.

Steward Luo looked at Xia Jin and reminded: "The old matriarch is not in good health now, so you must be careful when you speak later, and you must not make the old matriarch angry."

"Nurse Lin has already been arrested. Under the doctor's treatment, the old matriarch's illness should recover soon." Xia Jin asked suspiciously.

Steward Luo shook his head, and said, "The confidant who has been with the old lady for more than 20 years wants to kill the old lady for the benefit of the Lin family! The old lady's heart is broken! She is so angry that she can't even eat! Now, The old lady’s illness is not only not cured, but worsened!”

Steward Luo has been worrying about this matter for a while, but no matter how the kitchen changes the way of cooking, the old lady has no appetite.

The old lady ordered not to talk to the general, so as not to distract the general.

Butler Luo choked back his discomfort about this matter, seeing Xia Jin asking, it was as if he had found a tree hole.

"Hey, I really don't know what's wrong with Madam Lin. The old lady trusts her so much, and even entrusts her to take care of the backyard. It's really chilling!"

"Yesterday, I sent someone to invite Chef Qin to see if he can find a way to cook delicious food, but I learned that Chef Qin is not in the capital, and I don't know where he went!"

Where is Qin Haoou, Xia Jin knows...

In order to make 'crazy saliva chicken' all the peppercorns in the capital are used up.

Xia Jin told him that there is a village in Jiujia Village of Wangxi Town that grows prickly ash, so Qin Haoou went there overnight, and now that he thinks he has already arrived in Wangxi Town, that's why Butler Luo wasted no time.

Seeing Steward Luo's sad face, Xia Jin glanced at the main courtyard not far away.

The benefactor was good to her, he settled her slave status and bought a house, and sent someone to help her move.

Now the old lady needs a chef to cook delicious food for appetizers, Xia Jin has no reason to just watch and ignore it!

"Let me try it!"

"You?" Butler Luo looked at Xia Jin. Xia Jin had just passed Jiji's age, and in the eyes of Butler Luo, she was no different from a little girl.

Xia Jin might be able to cook an ordinary hot soup dish, but to reach the level of a chef, ordinary people definitely cannot do it.

In the country of Yan, the recipes of chefs are kept secret, and the recipes of various delicacies are only in the hands of a small number of chefs. Some top chefs are no less important than high-ranking officials.

Ordinary household cooking is simple boiled and baked, and some salt will be added if possible. Butler Luo thinks that Xia Jin will definitely not cook that kind of exquisite food!
"Miss Xia, this old servant has remembered your kindness. Let cooking be done by professionals!"

"Pfft!" Siji couldn't help laughing.

"You girl, what are you laughing at!" Steward Luo glared at Siji angrily.

The ancient spirit of the four seasons shrank his neck, pouted his lips slightly, and said to himself: "My boss is the most professional~"

The voice was not loud, and Steward Luo couldn't hear it clearly because he was too old, so he thought this girl was talking nonsense.

He walked ahead to lead the way, and continued to say to himself: "I will see the old lady in a while, so be careful what you say, and don't say anything unpleasant. Miss Xia, don't be afraid, the old lady is very kind. It's just that I'm not healthy..."

While talking, seeing that there was no movement behind, Housekeeper Luo looked back.

"Huh? Where are people!"

Xia Jin and the others were still here just now, why did they disappear in the blink of an eye!

In the kitchen of the general's mansion, Lao Zhou sighed as he looked at the porridge he had just brought back.

"The old matriarch didn't take a bite again. Hey, why are you angry? It's not worthwhile to ruin your body!" Old Zhou said while pouring the returned porridge into the casserole.

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Lao Zhou thought it was the servant girl who hadn't left.

"The old matriarch's medicine will take a while to boil, you can come and get it in half an hour."

Seeing that the people behind were silent, Lao Zhou turned his head, but before he could see who it was, a rolling pin hit him on the back of the head!
Lao Zhou fainted on the ground, Xia Jin put the rolling pin away, knelt down and poked it, and after confirming that Lao Zhou was unconscious, he said helplessly: "Even if I explain, you will definitely not listen, this is the simplest and rudest way." !"

After finishing speaking, Xia Jin tore off the apron hanging on the wall and tied it around her body, picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board, and threw out a knife.

The old lady’s cough at night indicates that the internal fire is heavy, and the stagnation of the liver fire caused by anger leads to the aggravation of the disease and loss of appetite.

The best way to clear the liver is of course bitter gourd, but bitter gourd has a strong bitter taste, and it is definitely not enough to eat directly, so Xia Jin chooses bitter gourd and pork ribs stew soup, and only chooses the original soup to make a "Assorted Fresh Fragrant Noodles".

Throw the ingredients into the casserole and cook them with three-flavored real fire to shorten the cooking time. Filter out the original soup and pour it on the cooked noodles. With Xia Jin's extreme control over the seasoning and the heat, the color will change in no time. The fragrant noodles are ready!

Four Seasons could smell the fragrance while guarding outside the kitchen. Even though I had eaten early, I was still attracted by the refreshing aroma and my appetite was whetted!
The aroma of wheat and meat are combined into a refreshing taste, just like the wind passing by on the grassland, so comfortable that the eyes of the four seasons are squinted.

After Xia Jin was done, she took the tray to the old matriarch's residence, opened the door and put the noodles on the table.

As soon as it was put away, the old matriarch came back, and seeing a bowl of noodles on the table, Mrs. Sun thought it was put by housekeeper Luo.

"What kind of noodles is this? It smells so good!" The old lady hadn't smelled anything these past few days, but she could smell the clear fragrance of this bowl of noodles!

Seeing that the old lady was interested, Sun's face was overjoyed, "Try it, old lady!"

Mrs. Sun supported the old matriarch to sit at the table, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the old matriarch.

The old lady picked up a noodle and took a bite. The next moment, the fragrance rushed into the nostrils. The sweet smell and the taste of the noodles made the old lady feel as if she was in a vegetable garden, watching the garden full of spring. In that moment, she seemed to feel the revival of all things.

The mind that was stupefied due to illness became clear!

She continued to take a sip, and her taste buds, which seemed to be covered by lard, were opened. After a while, the bowl of noodles was finished. The old lady was reluctant to put down her chopsticks, and picked up the bowl to drink up the soup.

Seeing this scene, only Sun and Mammy were stunned!
The old lady hugged her warm belly, her face was ruddy, and her eyes were much clearer.

"Who made this bowl of noodles?" she asked.
