lady, please calm down

Chapter 183 A Bowl of Porridge
"Dutong, where did you find those rotten chicken eggs? How can you eat them if they're all black!"

"First, these are duck eggs, not chicken eggs. Second, these are called preserved eggs, and they are not spoiled! It is a kind of food that Ben Dutong made secretly, and no one in Daqi and even the whole world has ever eaten it."

In the kitchen of Caihua's house on Shuyuan Street, Chen Chu peeled off a black preserved egg, and explained to Ru'er in a serious manner.

Just now, Chen Chu came to the kitchen in a hurry and asked the cook in her 40s to take off her apron without saying a word. After the cook turned pale with shock, she said regretfully, "My aunt is too old to serve you!"

Chen Chu just wanted to borrow an apron to wear
Now, the blue apron with white flowers on the cook's body was worn on him, but because the apron was too small, it looked a little funny.

The ill-fitting peripherals made Chen Chu, who was already unfamiliar with cooking, look even more unreliable.

Ru'er hurriedly slipped back to Cai Hua's bedroom to report: "Third lady, Du Tong just sent Maodan home to fetch a few scoundrels, and I'll make them for you to eat, you should pretend to be asleep and hide for a while!"

"What kind of bastard?" Cai Wei asked in confusion as she leaned against the bedside.

"Uh, Maodan is Dutong's personal soldier. The villain is brought by Dutong to cook for San Niangzi."

Ru'er recalled it for a while, and said unsurely, "It was cooked porridge for the third lady."

"Bad guy lean meat porridge?"

The name of this meal sounds a little scary!

But Cai Hua never took the usual path, and such a weird name aroused her interest. She got up, put on her clothes, and walked to the kitchen.

"Third lady, wear thicker clothes!"

Ru'er took a thick cloak and chased after her.

In the kitchen, Chen Chu was sitting on a low stool less than one foot high, guarding in front of the clay stove, holding a wooden spoon and constantly stirring the rice porridge in the clay pot.

Such a big man, but sitting on such a short stool, looks a bit aggrieved.

Cai Hua leaned against the door frame of the kitchen, and smiled when she saw this.

"Honey, why are you up? I cooked you a porridge with preserved egg and lean meat."

"Oh, puppy, has the little wild cat ever eaten the rice you cooked?"

"No, she never let me into the kitchen."

"Hee hee, puppy"

"Honey, didn't I teach you? You can follow our proud rules and call me husband."

"It doesn't sound good. It sounds like a eunuch in the palace. I still like to call it a puppy, hehe."

".,what ever."

Half an hour later, Daqi's first pot of preserved egg and lean meat porridge was steaming hot.

Cai Wei didn't choose a place, and sat down on the threshold of the kitchen, and then patted the threshold beside her, motioning for Chen Chu to sit down too.

Chen Chu brought a bowl of porridge, sat down next to Cai Wei, and then passed the bowl over, "Here, try it while it's hot. When I was sick, my mother would cook porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat. She always said that porridge is the most nourishing."

After Chen Chu finished speaking, he was distracted for a moment.

Smart as Cai Wei, she immediately guessed that the little lover might be homesick.

But she didn't try to comfort her, and said deliberately: "My hand hurts, and I can't hold the bowl, so feed me."

"it is good."

Chen Chu chuckled, the nostalgia dissipated immediately, and then scooped up half a spoonful of it with a spoon, and brought it to Cai Wei's mouth.

Cai Hua approached and tried it, then coquettishly said: "It's hot, blow it on for me"

"Hey! You little girl, you are making people sick because of your illness."

Chen Chu muttered back to muttering, or withdrew the spoon, blew on his mouth, and then sent it back.

Only then did Cai Hua open her mouth to accept it contentedly, took a bite, then raised her head and pouted her mouth, signaling to Chen Chu to wipe her mouth.

Outside the courtyard door of the kitchen, Ru'er and Mao Dan poked their heads, giggling and laughing at each other.

Maodan has never seen his boss serve people so patiently.

Ru'er has never seen San Niangzi so hypocritical.

The kitchen door.

The two sat on the threshold, like young children playing house, feeding porridge and rice bite by bite, until Cai Wei ate half a bowl, Chen Chu said: "I'm not in a hurry to smelt iron, why are you working so hard?"

"I'm not just doing it for you. I can't do these things in vain. When your iron smelting workshop opens, you need to let me take [-]% of the profits."

"..., I thought there was a relationship between us, but in the end, it turned out to be a deal! Hey."

Chen Chu sighed pretending to be sad.

Knowing that he was joking, Cai Wei still said, "Can feelings be eaten?"

"What else can I miss from you?"

"What's yours is yours. I don't like to keep asking men for money."

"Hehe, okay. Is this the big thing you've been talking about?"

"It's not counted, it can only be counted as half."

"What is the other half?"

"Help you set up the internal monitoring agency you mentioned."

"There is currently no suitable candidate for this matter."

"Don't you mean He Bei?"

"He Bei can't do it alone, and it's hard to find people who work under him."

"Puppy, have you forgotten Xu Zhiyuan and the others?"

"Ok?"

Chen Chu's eyes lit up, "Hao'er keep talking."

Cai Wei raised her face arrogantly, and opened her mouth slightly, "You didn't care about feeding me porridge when you were talking about business! Continue to feed me."

"Hello, hello"

Chen Chu repeated the action of feeding the porridge, and then carefully wiped off the corners of her mouth with Cai Wei's handkerchief, and then dabbed some rice milk, before the latter continued: "First, they are not familiar with the Zhenhuai Army, so they won't be concerned about their brother's feelings for selfishness. Second, those boys are all stupefied with their studies.

Three, they are all from my big family in Tongshan, and there is no shortage of money in the family, so the possibility of making mistakes for money is relatively low.

Four, they are bold and not afraid of offending others.

Fifth, they are only convinced by you, and you can't suppress them without He Beili.This kind of spy agency, which is similar to the embroidered clothing envoys of the Han Dynasty, has strong branches and weak stems, so it can be controlled.At that time, people like Li Ke will also be absorbed, and some local veterans like Li Mule will be added, so that they can monitor lawlessness internally, gather intelligence and spread public opinion externally."

Cai Hua explained everything from the balance of power to the responsibilities of the organization.

The more Chen Chu heard it, the more he felt that this method could be done.

Not wanting to, but Cai Wei smiled, winked playfully at Chen Chu, and said in the tone of a school exam: "Puppy, tell me, what are the benefits of transferring Xu Zhiyuan, Ximen Chong, Cai Si and others from the army?"

Cai Wei's words were straightforward enough, and Chen Chu naturally realized what she meant, "Don't let them meddle in military matters?"

"Yes! You are also very smart."

Cai Wei is so smart, worried that if she finished everything, it would hurt her lover's self-esteem, so she deliberately reminded Chen Chu to say it himself.

Chen Chu couldn't help laughing, "I'm not that fragile! Go on."

Cai Hua bent her eyes and smiled, but then said in a very serious tone, "Puppy, you are generous. The five of you are sworn brothers, and you can seek wealth and official positions for them. The only thing is that the military power should not let others get involved, not even my family. Taking advantage of the establishment of a supervisory agency this time, Xu Zhiyuan and others can be drawn out of the army, and they have cut off the idea of ​​several of them cultivating power in the army."

Cai Wei's mouth was dry, and she elbowed Chen Chu.

Chen Chu understood, and fed another mouthful. Cai Wei chewed it twice and swallowed it, and then said: "This is a better arrangement for them. It will not offend the few families, and it can prevent problems before they happen. If they wait until they become popular in the army, it will be a pain in the neck to do this."

Chen Chu listened, and sighed after a while: "Hua'er, if you were a man, you would be a hero."

"Hey, puppy, you don't want me to be your wife anymore, you want me to be your brother?"

"Where does this come from! But, then again, you have even plotted against your own family. If my father-in-law finds out, I'm afraid it will annoy you."

"How many more years can I be the Cai family's daughter?"

Cai Wei raised her head, squinted her eyes at the blue sky, and said slowly, "Even if I am filial to my father, sooner or later I will belong to someone else's family in his eyes. My future child will be named Chen, not Cai."

Hearing this, Chen Chu said nothing more, and stretched his arms to hug Cai Hua's shoulder, Cai Hua meekly leaned on Chen Chu's shoulder, and took the opportunity to rub the porridge at the corner of Chen Chu's mouth on Chen Chu's shoulder.

"Hey! Are you disgusting? Don't you have a veil!" Chen Chu looked disgusted.

"whee."

Cai Wei smiled as if she had succeeded in playing a prank, and suddenly said, "Puppy, did you miss your mother just now?"

"Uh, no."

"Don't pretend, I can see it. Didn't you just say that when you were sick when you were young, your mother would cook this porridge with preserved egg and lean meat for you? In the future, if you get sick again, I will cook it for you."

"Why does this sound so awkward?"

"Are you awkward? Why don't you call me mother?"

"Can we stop being so perverted! Why don't you call me daddy to listen!"

"Hee hee~"

Cai Hua smiled charmingly, leaned over to Chen Chu's ear, and blew two weak air currents, then said softly, "Uncle, Hua'er is cold, Uncle, take me back to bed."

There is also the power to be a demon!
The disease is mild!
