Chapter 401 Cute Children
Xia Chan had spoken, and Xie Wenjun did not dare to delay and went to make arrangements immediately.
Originally, these things were done by the eldest brother.
But now the eldest brother has a sister-in-law, and she is pregnant, so naturally he has to do all the errands.
He had no complaints at all.
On the contrary, I was very happy to run errands.
In the cold winter, run more outside to keep warm.
Another thing is that the roasted whole lamb and roasted whole pig made by his aunt are very delicious. Not only his sister-in-law is craving for them, but he is also craving for them.
Hurry up and prepare everything and let aunt make some delicious food.
…………
The status of the Xie family now is different from before. It is much more noble than when it was the general's mansion in the previous dynasty.
However, there were no extravagant changes to their family’s food, clothing and other daily necessities.
Xie Wenjun went to the kitchen and saw only scattered mutton and pork.
"Second Master, what's wrong? What can I do for you?"
Uncle Zheng, who was in charge of cooking, asked Xie Wenjun.
Xie Wenjun originally wanted to ask the kitchen staff to do it, but after thinking about the servant's speed, he shook his head.
"fine."
"By the way, Uncle Zheng, you can let the kitchen take a break after breakfast. You don't need to use the kitchen to cook dinner. My mother and the others plan to cook it ourselves."
Almost everyone knows me. The Xie family came back after being exiled thousands of miles away.
You can't bring servants with you when you are in exile, you have to do everything yourself.
It is normal for the Xie family to cook for themselves.
Uncle Zheng was the family cook, but his boss suddenly stopped him from working and asked him to take a paid leave, so he was somewhat worried.
"Second Young Master, is there anything unpalatable about the food in the kitchen?"
"No, it's just that my aunt is going to make a roasted whole lamb, so we probably won't need the food in the kitchen tonight."
His aunt said that if she bought a pig and a sheep, the family would definitely not be able to finish them.
He boldly guessed that his aunt had included other servants in the mansion as well.
Since everyone has dinner, why bother Uncle Zheng to stay in the kitchen?
During the Chinese New Year, wouldn’t it be better to let him and the people in the kitchen take half a day off to go home and spend time with their family?
After Xie Wenjun finished speaking, he turned around and hurried out the door.
He went to the stable, got out his mount, Skylark, mounted the horse, and left the mansion.
When he left the house, in Xie's house, Xia Chan was eating melon seeds while watching Xie Lin and others repairing the oven in the yard.
The Xie family’s oven is not quite the same as the modern ones, but it’s pretty much the same.
Xia Chan asked Xie Lin to repair the oven according to the one at Chan Cheng's home. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
On the first day of the new year, there is no emperor ruling the world, but only husbands, sons, and fathers who love and care for their families.
On a snowy day, sitting in a warm house, making tea while watching the snow scene and looking at the man working in the snow, life is so comfortable.
Even someone like Wei Hua who can't sit still can return to the warm house after going out to play in the snow with Xie Yunying for a while.
As soon as he sat down, he poured the wolfberry and red date tea in the cup into his mouth.
Like a cow chewing a peony.
Xia Chan glanced at Wei Hua sideways, while Mrs. Xie was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She reached out and touched Wei Hua's hair, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.
"Thank you, mother."
The crisp word "mother" almost made Xia Chan spit out the tea in his mouth.
She looked at Wei Hua in disbelief.
If I remember correctly, this guy didn't call his own mother so sweetly, right?
It is true that girls tend to go outward, and a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, right?
Oh, that’s not right. Wei Hua hasn’t officially married into the Xie family yet.
At least she didn't marry into the Xie family on the surface.
She really didn't feel any burden when she called her mother!
Mrs. Xie has obviously gotten used to it.
Very calm.
The same was true for Mrs. Xie.
Xie Yunying and Xie Yunyao too!
Summer Cicada!!!
Is she the only one making a fuss?
It’s over! This is the disadvantage of being locked up in the palace every day. I feel like I’m isolated from the world!
No, in order to prevent this from happening, she must have more contact with the outside world.
After returning to the palace today, she immediately asked about the progress of the girls' school. She wanted to start her own business as soon as possible!!!
Several people were drinking tea and chatting. When Xie Lin and his brothers brought Xie Wenhao to repair the oven, Xie Wenjun also came back driving a pig and leading a sheep.
This action excited Xie Wenjin, Xie Wenbo and others.
The younger ones, Xie Wenzu and Xie Wenhan, were so happy that they clapped their hands.
The little kids were fearless and they even grabbed the pigs' tails and touched their ears, and hugged the goats and bleated like sheep.
This scene made the adults in the family laugh.
Except for the time when they tried to grab the pig's tail and were stopped by an adult, the adults didn't stop them from doing anything else.
Even including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xie Wenhan, the future king of a country.
He held the goat's head and rubbed it hard, and Xia Chan didn't say a word.
It was even more impossible for Xie Lin to say it.
After the children in the family had played with the two pieces of food for a while, Xie Wenjun dragged them downstairs to kill them and eat their meat.
Sisters Xie Meixian and Xie Congyue, dragged a group of younger brothers and sisters over to Xia Chan.
"Aunt, no bunny?"
Xia Chan raised her eyebrows slightly, "You like rabbits? You like roasted rabbits?"
"like."
The two little girls, who were already ten years old, had flushed faces.
Obviously shy.
Xia Chan smiled, "Then let my brother go catch a rabbit, and I'll roast it for you guys, okay?"
Not to mention that they wanted to eat it, just by mentioning it like that, Xia Chan's saliva started to flow out, and their appetites were aroused.
Spicy rabbit has always been a delicious dish.
Through the child's mouth, she can also satisfy her appetite, killing two birds with one stone.
Rabbits are easier to find than goats and live pigs, and some of the servants in the Xie family’s mansion raise them at home.
Xie Lin asked the housekeeper to take money and buy ten rabbits.
The rabbit was cleaned up along with the goats and live pigs.
Xia Chan prepared three basins, all of which were very large. She threw the meat that the men had processed into the basins and marinated the whole head.
When the time was almost up, I used specially customized very long iron skewers to string the rabbits together and put them into the oven.
Five rabbits are skewered on each skewer and placed in the oven. The oven door is closed and the skewers are constantly turned outside to ensure that the meat inside is heated evenly.
Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted out from the exhaust vent of the oven.
The children who were originally playing in the warm house couldn't help but look out one by one after smelling the fragrance.
"It smells good. Eat, eat."
The youngest, Xie Wenhan, stood there side by side with his two older brothers and an older sister, who were one year younger than him, slurping their saliva and talking.
