"Curious?" Huo Jie came to be interested and said with a smile, "how come I haven't heard my sister say that I'm curious about brother Mu before?"
Granny Liu used to misunderstand the relationship between Xia Yi and Xiao Linmu, but at that time Xia Yi just felt uncomfortable at most. Now Huo Jie says that. She doesn't know why. Suddenly, she feels a little hot on her face.
So, Xia Yi quickly explained: "don't think about it. I just want to thank Mu Lin for saving our sister and prepare a gift for him. That's why I ask you what he really likes?"
She thinks Xiao Linmu is right. It's too perfunctory to just say thank you. It's really time to express your thanks with actions.
Huo Jie sat up straight and helped Xia Yi think about it carefully.
She knew Xiao Linmu when she was a child. Xiao Linmu had such a strange temperament when she was a child. She was light about everything and never showed any interest in anything.
In her cognition, Xiao Linmu's only interest is Xia Yi's last gift.
In Xia Yi's expectant eyes, huojie finally opened his mouth slowly: "sister Xia Yi, you don't need to prepare any thank-you gifts. Just prepare a meal for brother mu, it should be enough."
"But is it too perfunctory to thank you with a meal every time?" Xia Yi twisted her eyebrows and asked.
Huo Jie immediately blurted out: "sister cooking so delicious, where perfunctory? As a gift of thanks, it's natural to give what brother Mu likes. Besides, although it's cooking twice, it's made by my sister. Naturally, it's more meaningful than buying something by the roadside... "
Xia Yi finally nods. Since she hasn't figured out what to send, it's better to prepare a meal to thank her. When she knows what Xiao Linmu wants, she can make it up.
Xia Yi went to the kitchen for a walk, and found that the last withered dish had been replaced with a new batch, but the meat had not been made up in time. There was only a large piece of pork and a large piece of mutton, but the rest was not.
Seeing that Xia Yi has been walking around the food shelf for several times, huojie can't help asking, "sister, what are you looking for?"
"Chicken." Xia Yi replied, "but it seems not."
"What is my sister going to do?"
"Fried chicken." Xia Yi replied that, in her impression, this is Xiao Linmu's favorite food. He ordered few dishes, but ordered several times.
Huo Jie also followed Xia Yi to stand in front of the food rack for a long time and said, "I haven't found chicken either, or my sister will change a dish. There is pork here. You can make Sufu..."
Xia Yi suddenly turns her head, looks at huojie and says, "can you do me a favor?"
"What's up?"
Huo Jie has some doubts. Is there anything else she can do to help in the kitchen?
Xia Yi said, "I want you to go out and buy two chickens for me."
She has no way to go out for the time being, so she has to ask huojie.
Huo Jie agreed: "sister Xia Yi, don't worry, it's on me."
"It's better to be a good one." Xia Yi doesn't forget to tell her that she is really afraid of killing chickens.
After the experience of killing chickens for the first time, Xia Yi never killed chickens by herself again. Every time, she was sent by Leng Qian.
Now think about it, Xiao Linmu is also a face cold heart hot people, mouth said no matter, finally not only help her kill the chicken, but also help to solve her worries.
Just in the past, she had a lot of prejudice against Xiao Linmu and didn't pay attention to these details.
"OK, sister Xia Yi, don't worry." Huo Jie patted his chest and assured.
After Huo Jie left, Xia Yi began to deal with the ingredients.
Mutton has a strong smell and needs to be treated in advance.
Xia Yi skillfully separated the fat and lean mutton, removed the fascia in the middle of the mutton, and then cleaned it repeatedly with a lot of water.
After washing for half an hour, the smell of mutton was almost removed.
Then use yellow rice wine to marinate the small pieces of mutton in the basin, and then go to prepare other things.
Xia Yi is used to cutting all the dishes at one time before cooking.
After she had cut and prepared the dishes, Huo Jie came back from the outside with two chickens in his hand. They were all cleaned up. Not only the hair had been removed, but also the internal organs had been cleaned up.
Xia Yi is clear that the chickens in Xiliang are all live chickens. Even if the stall owner is kind enough to help, he just wipes his neck.
Is the chicken dealer in the capital different.
So Xia Yi asked, "where did you buy the chicken?"
Huo Jie put two fat chickens on the chopping board and said, "I took them from the kitchen at home."
After Huo Jie went out, she didn't know where to buy chicken, so she went straight home. Although she didn't forget to go to the kitchen, she also knew that there were a lot of chickens in the yard.
With the family to kill a good boy, just to Xia Yi brought over.
Xia Yi is tiny a Leng, just say: "so it is."
Huo Jie asked, "how does my sister see it? Is it because the chicken is not clean? "
This is what she looked at Xiaosi to kill, and specially checked that there was no hair left on the chicken.
Xia Yi said with a smile, "no, it's too clean."
Xia Yi chopped the chicken into small pieces with a knife, put them into a basin and cleaned them, then pickled them all.
Two chickens just fit in a big porcelain bowl.
"Sister Xia Yi, have you finished frying so much food?" Huo Jie asked.
Xia Yi replied: "prepare it first, in case people will not be enough to eat."
Xia Yihao remembers that he came to Xiao Linmu's house for the first time, and there was a small group of attendants. Although he didn't see them again later, could he come today.
Xia Yi prepared a table of dishes, meat and vegetables, waiting for Xiao Linmu to come back.
But it's time to have a meal, and Xiao Linmu has disappeared.
Huo Jie has long been attracted by the flavor of the food. He has been waiting for a hard time. Every moment is suffering.
Finally, she couldn't stand the temptation of fragrance, so she stood up and said to Xia Yi, "sister Xia Yi, why don't I go out and look for brother mu?"
"Where are you going to find it?" Xia Yi twisted her eyebrows and asked, Xiao Linmu has always been a dragon without a tail.
Huo Jie scratched his head. He didn't dare to reveal Xiao Linmu's identity. He said, "just stroll around. Maybe I'll meet him somewhere."
Although he is going out to look for Xiao Linmu, huojie has no other place to find Xiao Linmu besides Mu's residence.
As soon as Huo Jie was about to go out, he saw that the door of the courtyard was pushed open.
Xiao Linmu stepped in, still holding Xia Yang in his arms.
In addition, followed by Xia Changsheng.
It's not surprising that Xiao Linmu brought Xia Yang here, but Xia Changsheng also came with him.
