my wife is queen

Chapter 43 Chen Yuanyuan's Cooking Skills
The ladies in ordinary people's homes do the cooking by themselves. When they are at home, they mostly eat the meals cooked by their mothers, so they don't have to do it themselves.

After getting married, the first meal will only be cooked for my husband.

Chen Yuanyuan's cooking skills are not bad, she has always cooked for herself, at most Shen Yixiu is included.

But she is a woman, and she can't be counted.

Unexpectedly, today, Chen Yuanyuan made a meal for the first time and gave it to Li Mian.

Chen Yuanyuan is a good wife and mother, she values ​​women's three obediences and four virtues very much, no matter how good the relationship between the two parties is, she would not entrust Li Mian to make the first meal.

only……

I really don't know how to thank Li Mian for today's rescue, so I can only make a meal to thank him.

Unfortunately, this was Chen Yuanyuan's first time.

Li Mian didn't know the way to do this, the pheasant slave only had candied fruit in his mind, and he didn't know the rules of a woman's first meal.

Yun Niang is a budget-conscious person, she is worried that the Xiapei will be worn out, so she carefully puts it in the Duanmuliang brocade box after using it.

When she heard that Chen Yuanyuan was making meals, she felt strange, why her uncle had a close relationship with a pretty widow.

In her opinion, Chen Yuanyuan could not be a virgin if she said that she would cook a meal before thanking her, she could only be a little widow.

Chen Yuanyuan's attention was always on Li Mian, and when she pushed open the wooden door of the exquisite building and invited Li Mian and the two maids to walk in, she remembered something.

The moment Li Mian showed up, he frightened the Qingshou shopkeeper away. It seems that after he passed the provincial examination in high school, he became an official in Wucheng Bingma Division.

As for the possibility that the green-handed shopkeeper was scared away by the two little maids, in Chen Yuanyuan's opinion, it was unlikely.

Ordinary officials and gentry can't scare Qingshou shopkeeper away, let alone two little maids, only the officials of Wucheng Bingma Division can easily scare Qingshou shopkeeper away.

Even a small official of the Wucheng Bingma Division, as an official office that patrols and arrests thieves, sorts out the streets, and collates hudou, is enough to scare off the green-handed shopkeeper.

Chen Yuanyuan squatted next to the small red clay stove, took dry firewood to boil a pot of hot water, brewed a pot of gardenia tangerine peel tea for Li Mian, and hurried out with a vegetable basket.

When she came back again, the vegetable basket was full of vegetables, and she was carrying a chicken and a fish.

Chen Yuanyuan stroked her hair, walked to the courtyard with vegetables and crucian carp, and started cooking in the kitchen.

Since Chen Yuanyuan didn't like to open the window lattice to avoid being peeped, even in the daytime, the wing room on the first floor of the exquisite building was slightly dark.

Li Mian walked out of the wing room, and asked the pheasant slave to carry an eight-legged round drum stool outside the house, sit under the eaves, and watch the scene in the yard full of life.

All kinds of livestock are raised in the yard, and vegetables are grown in the vegetable bed next to the yard wall.

In the kitchen, a young woman lit a fire to cook meals, and smoke rose from the kitchen.

Chen Yuanyuan was sitting by the stove near the door of the stove. The firewood was burning very well, reflecting on her beautiful and heavenly face, she stroked her gray hair from time to time.

Li Mian was in a daze, looking at Chen Yuanyuan in the kitchen, he was fascinated for a moment.

Husbands and children, men farming and women weaving, are talking about the scene in front of them.

With Chen Yuanyuan's beauty as the most beautiful in the capital, it is reasonable to say that she should be a delicate lady with a temper, but she is a good wife and mother.

Longing for simple tea and light meals, and spending a lifetime with your relatives.

Li Mian originally only regarded her as a good friend, looking at the ordinary days in front of him, for some reason, he suddenly fell silent.

The pheasant slave looked at Chen Yuanyuan in the stove with a cute face, and his eyes kept turning around the stove and the big and round curve.

In her head, she was thinking about delicacies, and she was also envious of Chen Yuanyuan's graceful figure.

Yun Niang was different from the master and servant, walking up and down in the courtyard, nodding constantly.

Instead of planting some flowers and plants in the yard, I used all the available space in the yard, raising livestock and growing vegetables.

This made Yun Niang, who likes to plan carefully, very happy, and even thought of Chen Yuanyuan as a close friend in her boudoir.

Li Mian watched Yun Niang walking around in the yard, stopped and nodded from time to time, and laughed dumbly: "Little lady is different from you, she is said to know how to live, you are careful planning."

Yun Niang doesn't care about the difference between being able to live a life and being careful about budgeting. It's rare to meet a young lady with similar interests, and it's reasonable to become a close friend in her boudoir.

As noon approached, Chen Yuanyuan prepared several meals one after another, and suddenly felt embarrassed again.

Normally, she was the only one eating meals at home. She sat on the small stove in the kitchen with a bowl in her hand, watched the chickens and ducks in the yard by herself, and finished the two meals contentedly.

I never thought about entertaining guests at home, but I can solve it with just one guest. I moved the half-moon table in the wing room where the pine flower glaze tea cups were placed, and used it as the Eight Immortals table with dishes and chopsticks.

Every time Shen Yixiu came over to eat, he usually moved out the half-round table in the wing room.

It's just that there are three guests today, and the half-moon table can't fit three people's dishes.

Li Mian saw Chen Yuanyuan's embarrassment, and went directly into the kitchen, picked up a blue and white glazed porcelain bowl, filled half a bowl of rice, and covered the rice with prepared dishes.

Li Mian casually picked up the chopsticks in Chen Yuanyuan's hand, and started eating with relish in the courtyard with the blue and white glazed porcelain bowl.

Standing to eat meals, it touches a special taste.

Chen Yuanyuan's ears turned pink suddenly, staring at Li Mian who was standing in the courtyard eating, her vermilion lips parted, hesitant to speak.

It was not because Li Mian solved the embarrassment of having no place to eat, but because the pair of chopsticks in his hand were the chopsticks Chen Yuanyuan had always used.

Chen Yuanyuan held the chopsticks in her hands, not offering them to the guests, but to prevent Li Mian from taking her usual chopsticks.

Things backfired, the more Chen Yuanyuan didn't want to be taken away from her usual chopsticks, by accident, she turned into the chopsticks that she voluntarily gave away and gnawed in her mouth all year round.

Li Mian gave her a puzzled look: "What's wrong? The meal is not cooked."

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Li Mian thought the meal was not cooked, picked up a grain of rice with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Worried that the white rice was not cooked, the chopsticks stayed in his mouth for a while longer.

In Chen Yuanyuan's eyes, it didn't look like he was tasting rice, but rather chopsticks.

Chen Yuanyuan's face was completely red, so red that it was hot, he hesitated and couldn't speak: "Then...then eat food quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

The pheasant slave couldn't wait a long time ago, and ran into the stove happily, filled a big bowl of rice for himself, and put tall dishes on top of the rice, all of which stood out.

Yun Niang was not interested in meals, so she squatted next to Chen Yuanyuan with a blue and white glazed porcelain bowl. As soon as she squatted down, she saw her big and round curves.

Yunniang subconsciously took a look at her buttocks, it was already rare to see it was round, it was still far behind Chen Yuanyuan, so she quickly stood up again and sat on the little cock beside her.

While eating, Yunniang took the initiative to chat and chatted with Chen Yuanyuan about growing vegetables and raising livestock in the yard, using every cent of the land.
