After the meal, Li Hui and others were folding paper in the hall. Bai Shao took Ginkgo and Angelica dahurica to the kitchen to prepare the food for the evening.

Shun Xi was in Cao's camp and his heart was with the Han Dynasty. Cheng Xue naturally didn't want to beat the mandarin ducks, so he asked him to go with Wen Xi to help.

He was happy, but Wen Xi had a bitter look on his face.Thinking that the famous red wolf in his wolf den was now going to do odd jobs in the kitchen, where could he go to reason with him?Seeing Dexi's face, he couldn't help but laugh, and he was even more angry.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Does your stomach hurt?"

"Shut up, I'm in a bad mood right now." Wen Xi yelled and left.

Shunxi was yelled at inexplicably. She was about to have a fit, but the next second she forgot about it and went to find her sweetheart happily.

When he came to the kitchen, he carried firewood and fetched water, doing all the menial work for himself, while Bai Shao and the three of them just cooked.

Wen Xi stood aside stupidly, wanting to help but there was nothing to do. Shun Xi was in charge of the two stoves and lighting the fires by himself. He talked to the girl from time to time and smiled in a mean way. He didn't want to step forward and make things easier.After Bai Zhi finished her work, she came over and asked him to go back and rest.As if listening to an imperial edict, Wen Xi said "Thank you, sister", turned around and ran away.

Put the washed sheep, scorpions and beef bones into the pot, add onion, ginger, garlic, jujube and wolfberry, add water and cover to stew.

Not long after the pot was boiled, the air was filled with the aroma of meat.

The people working in the lobby took several greedy breaths when they smelled the smell.

Even Yi Cheng, who had been staying inside to do things, came out and asked in good faith:

"Master Li, what are you cooking in the kitchen? It smells so good!"

You don’t need anyone to ask you to, just move a stool and sit down, and help you fold paper together.

"Oh, it's sheep and scorpion." Li Hui replied, "Let's eat here tonight. Let's learn the craftsmanship from the capital. You can try the tripe and louver. It's very delicious."

Yi Cheng frowned slightly when he heard that it was his internal organs, but he relaxed again the next second.

The taste is so fragrant, I think as long as it is washed clean, there should be no problem eating it.

Bai Wei received the look from Cheng Xue, curtsied and turned around to go out.

When he came to the kitchen, he went directly to Bai Shao and told him about Li Hui's invitation to Yi Cheng for dinner in the evening.

"Okay, I understand. Dinner will be served at the end of Shen Shimo. Do you want to eat in the lobby?"

"Madam and the ladies will go back to the house. The master will take the two young masters to join Yi Cheng in the lobby." Bai Wei replied.

Upon hearing this, Shunxi stood up, walked to Bai Shao, and said:

"Shao'er, I'd rather lose a village than settle down in a household. You are preparing an extra stove, and we will eat with the guys at the inn later."

"Row."

Bai Shao nodded, took out the plates and started to pack them, and asked Shun Xi to carry the food under the kitchen window.The battered tripe and tendons only need to be added to the soup and dipped in chive flowers to become fragrant.

Fasten the gauze cover to prevent flies.

After simmering for another hour, the meal was finally ready.

First, put Li Hui and Cheng Xue's two pots in. They were full of sheep, scorpions and beef bones. They would be more than half full just by eating them.Shunxi didn't show off, and called Wenxi, Dexi, and Tiandong together, two by one, and took them to the lobby and the room respectively.

Upon seeing this, Gingguo also went to lift the screen under the window. When she found that there were a lot less things on the plate, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"What's going on? Who ate it secretly?"

As he spoke, he stretched his neck and looked out. There was nothing in a dense forest.When Bai Shao heard the sound and came over, her heart was shocked.With so many people working in the kitchen, a thief didn't even notice when he came in. If the thief was trying to make money and smoke some smoke, they would all tell the truth.

Afraid of disturbing the situation, he hurriedly said soothingly:
"It's okay, it's okay. There's still more in the pot. Let's fill up the plate first."

Bai Guo's mind was spinning very quickly. After hearing what she said, he nodded cooperatively and said:

"That's right, I wouldn't be able to help but take a bite, let alone the guys at the inn. Pack more for them, lest Brother Tiandong and the others can't eat."

The largest official in the post station was the Jiupin Yi Cheng, who had four small paid officials under him. As for the assistants, they were all hired locally, and their wages came from the inn, which was similar to the modern system of taking responsibility for one's own profits and losses.Don't underestimate these guys, they can't get in without some connections, so Bai Guo forces people to label them. Unless the thief doesn't have much experience, he will be able to spot them in minutes.

Although Bai Shao felt it was inappropriate, she had no choice but to cooperate after everything was said.

"Sure, give them some more."

Soon, meals were served in the lobby and on both sides of the room.

Bai Shao deliberately hid in the darkness of the kitchen and observed, without entering the house.But after watching for a long time, there was no movement. It was probably because the little thief was full and stopped coming.

"What are you squatting here?"

Bai Shao shook his head and said:

"There's a thief stealing food. I'm wondering if I can catch him."

"A thief?"

It was already winter, so he quickly walked into the kitchen and jumped out of the window following the location pointed by his sister.There are indeed a series of footprints on the ground. If you squat down and look, you can see that they are probably a half-grown child.There was a forest in front of him. It was probably some family's children who came to play and smelt the fragrance and ate something secretly.

"elder brother?"

"It's okay, it's just a half-year-old kid who came here to eat." Tiandong jumped back to the kitchen and closed the window, "Don't talk about the kid, I was so greedy that I swallowed my saliva. You go back to eat quickly, and I also went back to the lobby. I guess De Xi and Wenxi didn’t bring Shao Zao, are there any left in the pot?”

"There are plenty. After you finish eating, ask Shunxi to come over and fish them out. He knows."

Watching his sister naturally arrange Shunxi's work, Tiandong felt both amused and helpless.The four brothers and sisters have been unable to help themselves since the day they were born, so now they have met a kind master who helped them arrange their marriage early.Apart from being a bit naive, Shunxi is also very good, especially he knows how to care for others.

He raised the corner of his mouth jokingly, poked his sister on the forehead, and turned away without saying anything.

It took Bai Shao a while to react, her face was extremely hot.

In the lobby, Mr. Li Hui and others ate quite elegantly. The Yi Cheng and the four station officials all focused on the meat, but did not even look at vegetables, hazel mushrooms, fungus and other vegetables.

"Oh Master Li, I've eaten a lot of this stew, but how did you stew the lamb spine? It's so mushy and delicious, and this chive flower is so delicious after dipping it, and it's not greasy at all."

Seeing Yi Cheng feasting happily, Li Hui smiled and said:
"If you want to eat it, go back and ask my wife to cook it for you. It's very simple, just add water to the big pot and put only the onion and ginger. The longer it simmers, the more fragrant it will be. This was all thought out by my wife and my maid during my scientific examination. I bought it at that time If we can’t afford meat, we can only buy bones to make soup.”

He said it deliberately in a bitter way, and Yi Cheng immediately thought of the time when he was taking the scientific examination.Most of the Yicheng were born in Juren. It was not easy to become a Juren from a scholar, and he could understand it best.

He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, sighed and said:

"It's not easy for our daughter-in-law. Because we have such a good wife and do such a good job, we have to treat our own daughter-in-law well."

He is a bit old, so he likes to reason with people.

Li Hui didn't find it annoying, after all, he was right, a man must love his wife...

Some treasures asked when the debt will be repaid. Don’t worry, there will be no scalpers. I will start repaying the debt as soon as the trivial matters at hand are sorted out.
