Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

The sudden hiccup scared her so much that she quickly withdrew her hand. Her body was stiff for a few seconds. Only when the crying started again did she feel a little guilty and secretly look at Jian Ming again - very good, the crybaby was performing steadily.

After calming down, she reached out her hand again, wanting to touch his hand, but then she felt that it was too despicable to take advantage of someone in distress. If she wanted to take advantage of someone, she should do it openly. Doing it secretly was immoral.

Thinking of this, she withdrew her hand righteously, supported her cheek and looked at him with her eyes: I don’t know when he will wake up. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.

Jiang Shangxian watched the sleeping handsome man for a while, but the handsome man didn't wake up. Seeing that it was time to get off work, she once again sneakily put her chubby hand on Cui Bianxu's forehead.

"Ms. Jiang, hiccup~what are you doing?"

"what!"

Oh no! The crybaby had secretly finished her work of draining out moisture for the day without knowing when. Seeing her rubbing her husband's forehead over and over like a pancake with her hands, she couldn't help but cry out.

Jiang Shangxian turned his head and saw Jian Ming, whose face was flushed and whose eyes were swollen to a slit. He coughed lightly and defended himself righteously, "The wounded are afraid of fever. Let me see if Cui Shaoqing has a fever."

Jian Ming's head hurt from crying. Hearing this, he immediately became nervous and asked, "Do you have a fever?"

"Never."

"That's good, that's good. If you have a fever, I will ask Doctor Ning to take a look." Jian Ming patted his strong chest, making a muffled "bang bang bang" sound.

Seeing that he had been fooled, Jiang Shangxian quickly slipped away: "I have to go back. You keep an eye on him. If he gets a fever at night, you have to go find Doctor Ning immediately."

"Yes, thank you, Miss Jiang. You know more than a certain rough guy... hehe." Jian Ming grinned foolishly.

"Yeah." Jiang Shangxian waved his hand calmly and walked away calmly.

I saw Cui Bianxu again at Lexian Tower three days later.

Jiang Shangxian, who works seamlessly, is slacking off in the small kitchen, directing his three apprentices to make rice cakes. He forgot to make rice cakes during the Chinese New Year this year, and he always feels a little regretful about this year. Rice cakes, rice cakes, only by eating rice cakes during the Chinese New Year can one grow taller every year!

She was overheard by Shopkeeper Wang as she was mumbling. Who was Old Wang? He was the highest-paid and most ambitious man in the entire Lexian Building!

Jiang Shangxian muttered "Nian Nian Gao" and immediately thought of "Nian Nian Gao Sheng"! He immediately decided that Lexianlou must prepare this dish!

The most primitive version of rice cake existed in the Shang Dynasty. At that time, it was called "粢", which is the "cooked sorghum and rice, pounded into rice 粢" recorded in "Shi Ci".

In the north and southern Sichuan, eating baba and white cakes is more popular, but Jiang Shangxian likes to eat soft and glutinous water-ground rice cakes. In fact, she wanted to eat it on the first night of the new year, but without three apprentices at home, making it herself was a big project.

Traditional water-milled rice cakes are made with japonica rice, which requires soaking, grinding, steaming, pounding, kneading, pressing, and shaping. Each step is physically demanding. At this time, people in the south should be using traditional water pestles to make rice cakes. There are none in Chang'an, so of course they have to rely on three apprentices to do it - the main one is Li Meng.

Now it has reached the final stage, and we can start kneading the hot rice cakes into strips. Jiang Shangxian is looking forward to it.

She has already thought it through. Japonica rice is not as easy to get clogged as glutinous rice. She wants to eat fried rice cake with crab, rice cake soup with beef and pickled mustard greens, sweet rice cake with red bean paste, and make rice cake balls with the hottest rice cakes. In March or April, she will stir-fry them with shepherd's purse and small river shrimps!

When the person in front said that Cui Shaoqing had arrived, Jiang Shangxian felt a little regretful. She loved both handsome men and delicious food, and it was really difficult to make a decision.

Jiang Shangxian, who was in a dilemma, grabbed a handful of rice cakes and stuffed them into the bowl. He also added some sugar and hurriedly grabbed a small piece of rice cake, dipped it in sugar and put it into his mouth before stepping out of the kitchen with his right foot.

This glutinous texture is so satisfying!

In the box, Cui Bianxu pursed his lips, raised his chin slightly, clenched his left fist on the table, and clenched his right fist on his knees. His whole body exuded a sense of tension.

This injury...is so embarrassing!

The moment Jiang Shangxian pushed the door open, his already tense body stiffened like a petrified Arbok.

"Young Master." Jiang Shangxian bowed.

"Well, sit down." Cui Bianxu's voice became a little sharp due to nervousness.

His face was still a little pale, and he looked like he had been ill for a long time. His cheeks were slightly sunken. Fortunately, beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Cui Bianxu was just like that. Even though he had lost some weight, he was still a sick beauty.

The fragrance on his body was extremely strong, probably because he had been fumigated countless times inside and out. I could smell it from ten feet away. I would have thought someone was carrying a spice shop on his shoulders.

Unfortunately, Jiang Shangxian was like Xiaotian Dog who had stood up, and he could still smell a faint stench of corpse from the surging fragrance.

"Is Shaoqing feeling better now?" Jiang Shangxian sat opposite him, looking him up and down. On her last day working part-time at the Dali Temple, she went to look for him but didn't see him.

She still remembered clearly the way Jianming looked around and said that her husband had important matters to attend to and was unable to meet guests - it was definitely Cui Bianxu who felt ashamed and was hiding from her.

She is a very considerate toad, she just patted her butt and left - to give the handsome guy some time to adjust his mentality.

I just didn't expect that his mentality would adjust so quickly.

Cui Bianxu was embarrassed for a moment, and after trying hard to adjust his expression, he spoke, his voice a little hoarse than before: "I'm sorry to bother you. I was busy before and couldn't see you."

In fact, he was completely exhausted in the past two days. He was lying in bed and even needed Jian Ming's support to go to the toilet. He didn't want her to see him in such a miserable state.

In addition, he felt so ashamed these past two days because he was almost killed by a cat scratching him, and he had to prepare himself mentally before he was willing to come out.

Jiang Shangxian shook her head. After knowing that he was not dead, she was no longer worried. Of course, she should eat and drink as usual. Nothing could stop her from eating.

Having not seen her for a few days, she was a little excited and decided to liven up the atmosphere. She racked her brains to come up with some polite words, but her mouth started to imitate Jiang's mother a little uncontrollably: "You've lost so much weight. A man can't be too thin. If you're too thin, your hands will be..."

I feel bad...

At the critical moment, Jiang Shangxian's brain came back to life and he slammed on the brakes. He blushed and swallowed the rest of his words. Oops, he almost said what was in his heart. Damn it!

Cui Bianxu's pale face turned red in an instant, his clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist, his pink lips were pursed into a line, and his right hand on his knee was clenched suddenly - he couldn't respond to this.

It's rare that he can't connect with it even if he wants to. Miss Jiang is really different!
