Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 90 Broom Star

Xie Xiuwen glanced at Xie Ronglan coldly, but did not speak.

No matter how scheming Xie Ronglan was, she was still just a child at the moment, and she couldn't help shivering when she met the second uncle's cold gaze.

Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure.

In other words, she was thick-skinned enough to pretend that she didn't see that the second uncle didn't welcome her.

"Second Uncle, Third Young Master, I just learned how to cook tea when I was in Fucheng. This game of chess is an elegant thing, I don't understand it, but if you have a cup of incense as a companion, it will definitely be the icing on the cake."

Xie Xiuwen lowered his eyes and smiled ironically.

He obviously doesn't have much ink in his stomach, yet he still wants to speak like a famous lady, it's really nondescript.

Xie Rongzhao didn't hear the Ji Feng inside, but only heard that there was tea to drink, so naturally he applauded.

"Thank you for your hard work, big sister, I want to drink too."

Xie Ronglan smiled very gently: "Of course, the third sister must play tricks."

Xie Ronglan spoke to Xie Rongzhao, but she glanced at Cheng Sanlang from the corner of her eye, and said in her heart: Such a handsome young man, with a good family background and talent, only such a young man is worthy of me!
Seeing that the two of them were concentrating on playing chess, Xie Ronglan stopped talking and began to make preparations carefully.

Nowadays, drinking tea is popular in the Dazhi Dynasty, and it is only a matter of a hundred years since it really took off. A hundred years ago, literati preferred to drink wine as a gift.

Xie Rongzhao naturally also knows how to cook tea, not only can she cook, she can also fry silk, but the skill of frying tea is not very good.

Most people drink tea by grinding the prepared tea cakes into tea powder, and then start cooking.

And Xie Ronglan obviously made preparations in advance, she brought tea powder directly and poured it out from a beautiful small pot, it was not freshly ground tea powder.

Those above the powder, the crumbs are like fine rice and green powder, and the dust is not powder.It can be seen here that today's literati and refined scholars are not very accepting of particularly fine tea powder.

Xie Ronglan uses the most popular sencha method:

Pour water into the teapot, put it on the stove, and when the water boils slightly again, almost when the water in the kettle is like a spring, pour the prepared tea powder into the heart of the kettle, and then stir it with bamboo until it foams. When the pasta is full of noodles, pour it into a bowl and mix it with salt, then drink it.

Xie Rongzhao didn't like this way of drinking tea, so he might as well just scald the tea leaves with boiling water for a sweeter taste.

Xie Rongzhao always felt that after this kind of boiling, the tea powder would be boiled and the aroma would be reduced, and because of the addition of other condiments, it would lose its original taste.

But although she doesn't like to drink it very much, she likes to watch people cook tea, especially beauties cook tea, it is really a great enjoyment!
But right now, a beauty can't talk about cooking tea, the main reason is that Xie Ronglan is young, she has no breasts, and the baby fat on her face is still there, so she really can't be called a beauty.

After Xie Ronglan finished cooking the tea, the game of chess was finally over.

Xie Ronglan doesn't know how to play chess, even if she puts it out, she can't understand who wins and who loses.

Xie Rongzhao jumped off the stool directly, and ran over to have a look.

"Yeah, Dad won! Dad is great!"

Xie Xiuwen was in a good mood when he heard his daughter praise him with an adoring tone.

Xie Rongzhao was picked up by him, and then took advantage of the situation to raise it high.

Xie Rongzhao giggled, and Cheng Jingzhou who was on the side looked at her and frowned.

Xie Ronglan saw that the atmosphere among the three was harmonious, but she couldn't get in like an outsider, so she was naturally uncomfortable.

"Second Uncle, Third Young Master, the tea is ready."

Xie Xiuwen held his daughter in his arms and strode over, followed by Cheng Jingzhou.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you. Baby, I have something to discuss with your elder brother Jing Zhou, you and elder sister go out first."

Xie Rongzhao nodded obediently, and before going out, he smiled at Cheng Jingzhou with a wink.

Xie Ronglan actually didn't really want to leave, she was just cooking tea, and she couldn't even speak to Cheng Sanlang alone.

But when the second uncle spoke, she had to leave.

Xie Ronglan held Xie Rongzhao's little hand, her eyes rolled around: "Sister Zhao, the Lantern Festival is about to be celebrated, and Cheng Sanlang specially invited you to go to the county to watch the lanterns?"

The Lantern Festival here in Gaoyang County is mainly to enjoy the lanterns, and then to swim in the lake.

Those who choose to swim in the lake are generally those rich and noble families who rent a whole boat directly with their families, or their own boat, or some young masters and young masters go directly to board the flower boat.

For a child as young as Xie Rongzhao, generally speaking, it is enough to admire the lanterns, or to put a lotus lantern by the river to pray.

Xie Rongzhao had long forgotten about the lantern appreciation, "I don't know, Brother Jing Zhou didn't say anything. We just came here, and he was dragged by Dad to play chess."

Xie Ronglan was a little disappointed, she didn't find out anything, what should she do next?
Cheng Jingzhou didn't mention the lantern viewing to Xie Rongzhao and Xie Rongen until he left in the afternoon.

"Brother Jingzhou, let me tell you, I have a younger brother. I'll take you to meet him later."

At this time, Xie Xiaolang should be chopping firewood or digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, in short, he would not be sleeping idle at home.

When Xie Rongzhao came out, he purposely wrapped a few pieces of snacks with a handkerchief, and wanted to give Xie Xiaolang a taste later.

Xie Rongzhao didn't explain too much, but Xie Rongen who was on the side helped him clear up the confusion.

"So uncle wants to adopt this little wolf brother?"

Xie Rongen shook his head: "The second uncle said that he did not intend to adopt. The second uncle said that he does not care about his son, and his daughter is just as good. I eavesdropped on their conversation earlier, and Grandma blamed the second uncle for having no successors. The second uncle said that he can count on him in the future. With some nephews."

Cheng Jingzhou felt that this statement was reasonable.

Xie Xiuwen doesn't have a son, but he has several nephews, so he won't have anyone to rely on in the future.

Besides, Xie's family didn't have a separate family. If Uncle Xie really wanted to adopt a son, the head of the house might not agree.

Cheng Jingzhou even thought of that granny who was extremely eccentric, she must be the first one who refused!
After being fed for this period of time, Xie Xiaolang has grown a bit taller, but he still has no flesh on his body, and looks even thinner, making him look pitiful.

"Eat quickly, you can't save this, or you won't be able to eat it when you go home."

Xie Xiaolang held it in his hand, he was really reluctant to eat it.

His cousins ​​probably have never tasted such a sweet snack.

He always felt that he was not worthy of eating such a good thing.

As soon as Xie Xiaolang raised his eyes, he met Xie Rongzhao's expectant face, his original thoughts were immediately crushed, what is worthy or not, anyway, we can't disappoint Sister Baobao.

"It's delicious, so sweet! Thank you, Sister Gubao."

Xie Rongzhao pouted: "Don't add 'good boy'! Just call me sister!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Xiaolang didn't change his words, and heard a sharp voice first: "Hmph, you actually stole things from the house to this broom star!"
