Chapter 94 Croton Powder

"You are Dabao's friend, just call me Auntie." Xu Miaomiao said.

Li Yi, this child, has helped her with a lot of things these days, and his help is indispensable for testing and ordering dishes.

Xu Miaomiao was relieved for a while that this child was sensible.

"Aunt Xu." Li Yi smiled slightly, looked at Xu Miaomiao and cried out.

"You are very talented in cooking, do you want to learn to cook with me?" Xu Miaomiao looked at the boy in front of him and asked aloud.

"Really!" Li Yi also looked at Xu Miaomiao in surprise. The dishes made by Xu Miaomiao were delicious. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to learn a thing or two.

"Of course it's true." Xu Miaomiao smiled amused by his appearance and looked at him solemnly to explain: "You are very talented, shouldn't it be wasted?"

Li Yi immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Miaomiao: "Master, please accept my apprentice's worship."

"Okay, get up quickly." Xu Miaomiao said and quickly helped the person on the ground up.

"I'll give you two choices. First, you open your own store and do it yourself. Second, you can learn from me and help in my store. You can choose one."

Li Yi looked tangled and hesitated.

The first option has too many uncertainties, obviously the second is more secure.

The little boy frowned tightly, as if he had encountered some big problem.

Two sentences, looking at Xu Miaomiao with firm eyes and ears, said: "I want to open my own shop, and I also want to open my own shop like Master."

"Okay!" Xu Miaomiao felt relieved looking at the boy, as expected of the boy she fancied had ambition.

After this teacher recognition, Li Yi will be more serious in the next work.

Xu Miaomiao first asked him to take care of some simple ingredients, but the child learned very quickly.

Later, I also learned a lot about the production of some basic dishes, which is a bit like Xu Miaomiao's cooking.

"Come on, Happy New Year!"

Xu Miaomiao raised her wine glass to respect the people in front of her.

This is not her first year in this world, but it is their first Spring Festival.

Looking at the people on the table, Xu Miaomiao felt a burst of satisfaction in her heart.

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone toasted and celebrated. As the fireworks rose outside the house, the family stood outside and watched the fireworks all over the sky.

The woman at the corner pinched her fingers tightly. Seeing their happy faces, Song Yingying could always think of the suffering her family had suffered in that old house, and she definitely couldn't just let it go!

"Miao Miao, good night."

The night was getting dark, Gu Yuanniang bid farewell to Xu Miaomiao after watching the fireworks and went back to the house to rest.

"Yeah." Xu Miaomiao nodded, but walked towards the kitchen by herself.

She always had a bad premonition, and she still had to go to the kitchen to have a look. After all, the whole village would have dinner together tomorrow, so there must be no mistakes.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Li Yi washing vegetables.

A small light stretched the boy's shadow long.

Seeing the seriousness of the boy, Xu Miaomiao asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I want to see it again." Li Yi looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "The whole village will come tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes."

Xu Miaomiao patted the boy's shoulder in relief, and she really wanted to go with her.

Li Yi was in charge of checking the vegetables, while Xu Miaomiao looked at the meat for any abnormalities.

"It should be fine." Xu Miaomiao clapped her hands and said, "Go back and rest early."

Just when he was about to leave, Li Yi stopped the woman: "Master!"

As he spoke, he picked up the broccoli on the side and said, "There is some small powder on this broccoli."

"What!" Xu Miaomiao was startled, tomorrow there will be a vegetable stir-fried broccoli, Xu Miaomiao immediately took the broccoli to check.

There were indeed some small powders on the top of the green vegetables. Xu Miaomiao was startled when she sniffed the small powders and said, "It's croton powder."

This dish is going to be served to the villagers tomorrow, who knows the bean noodles.

Li Yi sniffed the air, which aroused Xu Miaomiao's curiosity: "What's wrong?"

"There was a smell in the air just now, more here."

"What is the taste."

"It's the fragrance of magnolia, not very strong." Li Yi responded.

Xu Miaomiao understood, except for Song Yingying, she really couldn't think of anyone who would use magnolia as a spice and add croton powder to the dish.

"Master will miss one dish tomorrow, why not use yam instead."

Li Yi said.

"Yam is difficult to handle, I'm afraid we have to get up early tomorrow." Xu Miaomiao responded.

"It's okay." Li Yi shook his head: "Mr. Nangong also asked us to get up early when we practiced before, so it doesn't matter."

Xu Miaomiao nodded in response to Li Yi's proposal.

But before that, she had to do one thing, in case someone came to make trouble.

"Dangdangdang—"

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Miaomiao immediately knocked on the door of the original house.

"Who is it?" Zhang Ru said dissatisfiedly, put on her clothes and came out to open the door.

When Xu Miaomiao saw her, she thought that the other party was here to confess her mistake, so she immediately said in a strange way: "Who am I, so it's my nephew and daughter-in-law."

"Ma'am." Xu Miaomiao pretended to salute respectfully and said: "This afternoon is the day when everyone comes to my house for dinner. Ma'am, please remember the time and don't miss it."

"Yo, I've heard for a long time that you're going to hold a water banquet. I thought we didn't have a share. Thank you for being sensible!"

With that said, Zhang Ru agreed: "We will go."

Xu Miaomiao nodded with a knowing smile, turned and left.

Today is a water feast, but not in the afternoon, but at noon.

When their family came, everyone had already finished eating and was about to leave, so naturally there would be no disturbance.

"Mother, what you said is true?" Song Yingying asked in disbelief: "Then Xu Miaomiao really invited us to her banquet?"

"Of course it's true." Zhang Ru raised her chin and said proudly, "She came to the door and said it herself."

"Why do I feel that this is not right?" Song Yingying paced back and forth in Fangzhong and looked at Zhang Ru, but she still said worriedly: "No, we have to inquire again."

Zhang Ru grabbed Song Yingying and refused to let her leave: "What are you asking for? The people around are not willing to talk to us at all. Why bother to make fun of yourself? This Xu Miaomiao must be afraid. After all, your father will be the one in the future If she wants to be a high official, and we are her elders, she must be obedient."

"Okay." Song Yingying loosened the strings in her heart, pulled Zhang Ru and told her: "Mother, don't forget that you must not eat broccoli."

"ok, ok, I got it."

Zhang Ru perfunctorily agreed, and twisted her body to go back to the house. She got up early today and needed to catch up on a good night's sleep.

The family waited for the afternoon to go to Xu Miaomiao's for a big meal, and then naturally stayed there.

But I never thought that people had already started the banquet.
