Chapter 499: Cabbage and Wine with Spices
Xiao Xi rushed into the kitchen and shouted, "The ancestor said to serve two more dishes and a glass of wine, hurry up, hurry up!"
The fat chef looked at Xiao Xi, "What? The old man is urging us again! The problem is that there are no dishes to cook, so where can we get the wine?"
Ye Shiming also wanted to jump up and down.
"I'll go to the front to appease the old ancestor. I don't care. You have to think of a way!"
Ye Shiming said this and rushed out of the kitchen.
"What should I do? What should I do? I can't live like this anymore!"
The fat chef felt anxious and aggrieved. Suddenly he felt a palpitation in his heart and fell down.
Xiao Xi knew that the fat chef would be fine, but he was used to a leisurely life on weekdays and was suddenly under pressure and couldn't bear it and fainted.
"Hehe, it's my turn now!" Xiao Xi smiled proudly and started to get busy.
She saw that the kitchen refrigerator was indeed empty, with only two cabbages left. With her cooking skills, she could turn cabbages into something magical.
After a while, she cooked a vegetarian cabbage dish. Xiao Xi remembered that she needed some wine, so she found the ordinary wine that servants usually drank from the kitchen.
As the saying goes, old wine is put in new bottles, and then it was put on a tray together with the cabbage and taken out.
Of course, this dish and this wine have both been specially processed by Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi brought the food to the ancestor, who just threw a few dishes and wanted to overturn the table.
Suddenly a fresh fragrance drifted in front of the ancestor.
Ye Shiming, who was standing next to him, saw the cabbage served and glared at Xiao Xi, about to get angry.
But this plate of home-cooked cabbage looks very ordinary, with slightly yellowed cabbage leaves, as if revealing that it has experienced the baptism of sun, wind and rain.
The edges of the leaves are slightly curled, as if they had been gently kneaded by time.
The cabbage stalks are as white as jade and crystal clear, forming a sharp contrast with the yellowish leaves.
There are also some chopped green onions scattered on the plate, adding a touch of fresh color to the dish.
"How dare you! How dare you serve such a dishonorable thing to me for my ancestors to enjoy!"
Ye Bingkun finally roared out.
Xiao Xi pretended to be frightened and stammered.
"But the chef said that although it doesn't have the luxurious appearance of delicacies from land and sea, it exudes the taste of home.
Its simplicity, like the ordinary moments in life, makes people feel peaceful and at ease. ”
Xiao Xi spoke this dish of home-cooked cabbage in a tone that made her soul sublime.
It seems that this is not only a dish, but also a symbol of home and a manifestation of warmth.
The old man looked at the vegetarian cabbage with angry eyes, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
His furious face gradually turned into a calm one.
"Okay, Ye Bingkun, she's still a child, why are you making things difficult for her?"
The old man poured a glass of wine from the jug, took a sip, and his tone unexpectedly became gentle.
"Ye Bingkun, you haven't changed your temper in all these years? Look how scared this child is!"
Ye Bingkun stared at the old man in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.
I complained in my heart: Oh my god, when have I ever seen the old man be so good-tempered? Just now he wanted to overturn the table and kill someone.
"Okay, let the kid go. Ye Bingkun, come and try it. The food is good, and the wine is good too!"
The ancestor had said it, so Ye Bingkun couldn't get angry anymore.
His tone softened a little, and he became impatient with Xiaoxi.
"What are you still standing here for? Get off now!"
Xiao Xi felt as if she had been pardoned, and walked towards the door timidly. She turned back quietly and saw that the old ancestor and Ye Bingkun had both eaten cabbage and drunk wine.
The old ancestor and Ye Bingkun savored the vegetarian cabbage made by Xiao Xi and drank wine, as if they were in a wonderful world.
The perfect combination of food and wine not only satisfies the taste buds, but also brings physical and mental pleasure.
Every bite makes people intoxicated, as if all the troubles disappear at this moment.
The two looked at each other's faces, which looked many times younger, and felt that all the functions of their bodies were so young.
Especially the ancestor, he feels that he is the big winner in life.
If I had known there was such a good medical therapy cabin, why would I stay underground like a dark rat, relying on seclusion to survive?
At this moment, his mood was as light as if blown by the spring breeze, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and he entered a carefree state.
Xiao Xi knew that she had always been determined to add ingredients to the dishes and wine, and she never failed.
When she ran to the door, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
The two of them ate the cabbage she cooked and drank the wine she mixed. Hehe, let them be happy for a while now.
Xiao Xi was about to leave, but then she remembered the fat chef in the kitchen.
She reached the kitchen and touched the fat chef who was still on the floor.
The fat chef woke up slowly, feeling a little dazed.
"Uncle Fatty, are you awake?
I tell you, pack up your things and leave quickly, there is still a way out if you leave, otherwise you will be in great trouble. "
Xiao Xi's expression of "I'm doing this for your own good" confused the fat chef who had just woken up.
Where did this unfamiliar little girl come from?
He saw that Xiaoxi's face was full of righteousness, and her innate noble temperament made people feel convinced.
The fact that his master suddenly wanted to hold a big banquet in the evening was really too much for him to handle.
Yes, generally, celebration banquets are held at a good time during the day. It is indeed inappropriate to hold a celebration banquet at night at random.
Forget it, just listen to the advice.
"Thank you, little girl, but there is only one main entrance to our ancestral home and there are people guarding the door. I'm afraid I can't get out at night." The fat chef asked guiltily.
"I didn't tell you to go through the front door. Just go through the back door on the east side. Even though that door is abandoned now, it's the only way out!"
The fat chef wanted to catch Xiao Xi and ask her a few more questions, but he saw the little girl hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and disappeared without even turning a corner.
The fat chef was sure that he was not seeing things, because he saw a flash of golden light when the little girl disappeared.
So the fat chef crawled back to his residence to pack up his things and called the servants and gardeners with whom he had a good relationship.
The fat chef was a good person and everyone believed him, so these people immediately spread the news secretly.
Soon, thirty or forty people gathered.
All in all, almost all the servants in the Ye family's ancestral home were present, except for a few poor souls who were still serving in the hall.
The abandoned eastern gate through which the fat chef led them.
He always remembered that the little girl said this was the way out, and sure enough, the road was unobstructed.
When Xiaoxi returned to the Castle in the Air, everyone already knew that what Xiaoxi had done had worked. The most important thing was that Xiaoxi was kind-hearted and had dismissed most of the servants in the ancestral home.
I look forward to what the ancestor will look like tomorrow morning.
At dawn, the originally quiet ancestral home was suddenly filled with roars that resounded through the sky.
Ye Shiming and his uncles who were trapped in the ancestral home were frightened by the roar.
The reason is this.
The old man woke up early in the morning and wanted to drink a glass of warm water, but no one brought it to him after he shouted for a long time.
He asked Ye Bingkun to go and check out the situation, but Ye Bingkun came back and said that except for a few servants who served in the hall yesterday, everyone else had run away.
