Going to ancient times with a sign-in system: Stepmothers are not to be trifled with

"Miss, miss, the shopkeepers have brought you a New Year gift."

Just as he was speaking, Ziyu's cheerful voice sounded in the yard.

When the two heard it, they looked at each other, and then walked outside the house.

Guo Xiaoxiao shook his head and smiled, "My second brother knows you're back?"

Regarding Guo Xiaoxiao's joke, Cheng Wanyi didn't say anything, but the smile on her face showed her happy mood.

"Miss, the New Year's Day store is a bit busy, so the New Year's gifts are delivered late, please don't blame me." As soon as Guo Xiaoxiao came out, Chang Shun and Chang Chun clasped their hands together and explained.

Guo Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said: "Before I left, I told you not to bring New Year gifts this year, and told you to close the door for a few days, but you just didn't listen."

"The weather is not good, and the road is not easy to walk. Hurry up and get in the house to warm up. Let Ziyu and the others come here."

The two brothers shook their heads, "It's okay. Miss, come into the room to warm up, we'll be fine soon."

Seeing this, Guo Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more, but he didn't go back to the room, but stood in the corridor and looked at them.

Xiao Ziyang's three brothers and sisters also joined the moving team...

For the annual gift, Ziyu set up a special room to put it, and registered how many items there are.

Although there are only two carriages, there are quite a lot of things.

When Guo Xiaoxiao saw the list that Ziyu brought over, he looked at Chang Shun suspiciously, "Qin County Magistrate Qu also sent a New Year's gift?"

"Yes. Magistrate Qu and Master Qi both gave New Year's presents. We have prepared some in return. Miss, see if there is any need to increase or decrease the return." Chang Shun took out two slips from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Guo smiled.

After scanning them one by one, Guo Xiaoxiao felt that the return was low-key and not outstanding, and was very satisfied, so he handed it back to Chang Shun, "Just follow the list you drew up."

"Yes, ma'am."

"It's past noon, you guys have a rest tonight, and you'll go back to the county tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Go down and rest, there are still things to do at night."

When the two brothers heard it, although they didn't know what it was, it was definitely not a trivial matter, so they turned around and took a rest after responding.

Kitchen.

"Miss, you go and rest, we'll just come here."

"I'm here today, look carefully, I'll just do this once."

After all, he glanced at the water in the pot and felt that it was about the same, then he opened the cloth bag in his hand, looked at Cheng Wanyi and Ziyu and said seriously: "I cook cold dishes, the taste is a little different."

"This is star anise, fennel, cinnamon, pepper... Some of these are medicinal materials, and some are spices. I only found this amount of pepper and pepper. When spring comes after the new year, we will go to the mountains to look for it."

Watching Guo Xiaoxiao wrap all kinds of ingredients in a gauze bag, put them in the pot, and then put a lot of sugar, salt and so on.

As time went by, a scent wafted from the pot, Cheng Wanyi and Ziyu felt that they could eat three bowls of rice just with the soup in the pot, it was so delicious.

After a while, Guo Xiaoxiao finally said, "Ziyu, take the two ducks and pork on the table and put them down slowly."

"Hey, just come."

Seeing the duck and pork in the pot, Ziyu couldn't help sucking it again, and then sighed: "Miss, it smells so good."

"Smell it, don't you look at how many things I put in your lady."

"Yeah, that's it."

Taking advantage of the cooking time, Guo Xiaoxiao asked Ziyu to bring over the thawed large intestine and pig's trotters. Under the watchful eyes of the two, they cut each pig's trotter in half with a knife.

The cleaning work was taken away by Cheng Wanyi, Ziyu could only look at the fire, smell the meaty smell, and thought: "Greedy!"So hungry!
Feeling that it was almost done, Guo Xiaoxiao instructed Ziyu to scoop up the pork, while the trotters and duck continued to cook.

The three of them were messing around in the kitchen, completely forgetting about the people in the yard, let alone the people who were staring at them not far away.

The aroma of stewed meat floated everywhere with the gusts of cold wind, causing the two Chang Shun brothers who were lying on the bed to sleep with their eyes closed, opened their eyes instantly, stepped out of the house, and then headed towards the kitchen.

Seeing Xiao Ziyang's three brothers and sisters sitting outside the kitchen door, Chang Shun raised his finger and pointed to the kitchen room, "Miss, are they cooking new food?"

The lively Xiao Ziqing nodded her head and responded, "Uncle, Uncle, Mom said it's not all right yet. Wait a little longer."

Hearing this, Chang Shun stretched his head to look inside, then walked to the side and sat down, waiting quietly with his younger brother Chang Chun.

"Okay, pick it up. Find a basin to store the marinade, it will taste more delicious next time."

"This is good."

"I'm going to change clothes. Let's keep it simple tonight. Eat hand-rolled noodles and cut some stewed noodles. It's not bad."

"Okay, we will do this."

Guo Xiaoxiao walked to the door, saw the five people sitting in a row outside the door, and smiled instantly, "Big brother and second brother, help make the noodles. You two go wash some green onions and cabbage."

"Hey, let's go."

Seeing the five people leaving quickly, Guo Xiaoxiao smiled unkindly again.

This devilish laughter puzzled the people hiding in the dark, and they really wanted to show up to find out, but when they thought that this woman had placed mouse traps all over the yard, causing them pain and not daring to yell, they all trembled. trembling.

Glancing at Xiao's courtyard again, the people in the dark took a few steps back before stopping to continue staring.

For dinner, each person started eating with a bowl of stewed pork noodles.

Xiao Ziyang's three brothers and sisters had a lot of fun eating, especially Xiao Ziqing, who even ate two bowls.

When walking in the yard, I still didn't forget to ask Guo Xiaoxiao, "Stepmother, I will eat this noodles tomorrow, it's so delicious."

"Yeah, mother, this meat is delicious and fragrant."

Seeing the eyes of the brothers and sisters saying that they still want to eat, Guo Xiaoxiao turned to look at Xiao Ziyang who was sitting on the side without moving, "What does Ziyang think?"

"It's fine for the mother to be the master."

Looking at Xiao Ziyang, who wanted to eat but didn't say anything, Guo Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, and waved his slender hand, "I marinated that pig's head tonight, brothers and sisters will go back tomorrow and bring some to the nanny, so she can taste it too."

"Ziyu, bring out two more pieces of meat, I'll marinate them together tonight."

"Hey, good."

As the night darkened, every household gradually fell asleep. Guo Xiaoxiao took Xiao Ziqing and Ziqing busy in the kitchen, while Cheng Wanyi took Ziyu and Xiao Ziyang and flew out of the village.

The Chang Shun brothers attacked the people who were hiding in the dark and staring at the yard, making them unable to get away and go back to report.

Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared, the man in black shouted coldly: "Who are you?"

"Who are we? You have been staring at my master's yard for so long, and you actually asked who we are and what are you doing here?"

"Your master's yard?"

"Brother, don't roll your eyes. The task of the two of us tonight is to stop you so that you can't leave here."

"Won't you let me go? Heh, look at the palm."
