In this way, Gu Changan and his daughter can toss these big crabs with ease.

In an instant, there were piles of crab shells in the kitchen, and Xiaoxiao’s crab meat soup dumplings were ready to go on the steamer, so she started making crab-stuffed oranges again.

Gu Changan had never heard of this dish, so he watched his daughter handle the large yellow oranges with curiosity.

"I just wanted to ask, where did you buy these fruits and crabs? Why are they so big?"

Xiaoxiao knew that the things she took out were a bit too eye-catching, but she didn't care, she wanted to give the best to her family!

"I bought it from a peddler at the vegetable market. It happened to be that I met him right after I arrived. Seeing that his goods were good, I bought them all."

Considering the financial situation of the General's Mansion, Gu Changan and Xiao Ran rarely make such lavish decisions. Crabs are precious items, and even if they are eaten, they would not be bought in such a way, but Xiaoxiao likes them, so he doesn't care.

Instead, he was worried that his daughter would not have enough money to spend, so he simply took out the keys to the General's Mansion's warehouse: "From now on, I will leave these keys to you for safekeeping. You can take whatever you need!"

Xiaoxiao looked at the key and then at her father, but she didn't refuse.

Sometimes rejecting the kindness of elders may be harmful to them.

Sure enough, Gu Changan was happier when he saw Xiaoxiao accept it. He didn't care whether Xiaoxiao would spend so much money and ruin the general's mansion.

Besides, they had not been able to save much money for their daughter. The most recent big income was from Xiaoxiao selling dehydrated vegetable prescriptions. He always felt that it was inappropriate to hold on to the money, but to give it back to his daughter would be too much. It's better to look fresh, it's the best of both worlds.

Xiaoxiao also knew about the situation in the general's mansion, and she had actually been thinking about one thing for a long time - the soldiers who retired from the battlefield were all heroes who had fought alongside my mother. It was of course reasonable for my mother to take care of them, but this care It cannot always be based on giving money.

Even if they don't worry about whether my mother's salary is enough to support so many people, the soldiers and uncles themselves can't ask for help.

Just like when she asked her parents to sell dehydrated vegetable prescriptions to the Yan family, there was a soldier whose old mother was seriously ill, but because of his facial disability, he could not find a place to work and could not earn money for medicine. Seeing that his mother was dying He was about to die of illness, so he had no choice but to perform a chest-breaking performance on the street. As a result, he was brutally attacked by the dandy boys who were watching the fun. Not only was he unable to solve the family's dilemma, but he almost lost his life.

Xiao Ran wouldn't have known about it if the people from the General's Mansion hadn't mentioned the one eye and scar on his face when they went out to buy and saw the excitement when they went back to discuss it.

At that time, the lives of the soldier, mother and son were hanging by a thread. Even if the doctor dared to take action, he would still need a lot of precious medicinal materials to survive.

Later, Xiaoxiao and Li Muyan asked to borrow medicinal materials, and then used the Yan family's money to buy the son to solve their urgent need. Then the lives of mother and son were truly saved.

This matter can never happen again, but things are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that a lifetime will be free of illness and disaster?

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, so Xiaoxiao was wondering if there was any way to help his uncles and eldest brothers supplement their family income without having to keep the general government at a loss.

Originally, she had tried to no avail, but today, Chi Ernan's counselor talked nonsense about the transportation of iron ore in front of the emperor, which gave her a flash of inspiration, and she suddenly thought of something.

"Dad, I want to make a deal."

Gu Changan didn't even think about it: "Okay!"

Xiaoxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why don't you ask me what I want to do?"

Gu Changan wiped his hands and gave his daughter some food with chopsticks: "You can do whatever you want. If you want to open a restaurant or something, dad can cook for you."

This is really...

Xiaoxiao felt the favor from Gu Changan, and felt warm in her heart: "Actually, I..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard several popping sounds from outside, and then, many people filed in and went straight to the kitchen.

Standing between the sullen brother and the mother who rolled her eyes was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat familiar. This man had a very outstanding temperament. When he stood there, he looked like stars looming over him.

The man waved his hand behind him: "I am in private, so there is no need to be formal."

Xiaoxiao realized that he was the emperor.

Although the emperor said there was no need to be polite, she and Gu Changan couldn't really be rude. Just as they were about to put down the things in their hands and touch their knees, they saw the emperor step forward and pick up a piece of meat on the table that Xiaoxiao had just dug out. Orange: "What is this going to do?"

Xiaoxiao immediately straightened her knees: "Back to Your Majesty, we are preparing to make crab-stuffed oranges."

Don’t waste the dug out oranges. Squeeze out the juice and make dessert later.

The emperor had never heard of it, and the emperor thought it was strange. The emperor walked around and looked around, and then the emperor was hungry.

His series of emotional expressions were so explicit that it was difficult for Xiaoxiao to understand the purpose of his trip.

Sure enough, the next moment I heard him say: "I heard that Chef Gu returned to the world today and was ready to show off his skills. General Xiao extended his warm invitation, but I was disrespectful."

To sum it up simply, he comes to make ends meet.

"He farted" was written all over Xiao Ran's face, but considering the identity of this person, she held back her words and told him with a smile: "Today is a rare reunion in our General's Mansion, so we have a family dinner. .”

Did you hear it clearly? It's a "family banquet"! Do you understand "family dinner"?

The emperor pretended not to understand the disdain in her words, and nodded with a smile: "That's very good. Let's not talk about monarch and minister today. I will attend the banquet as a junior brother. Everyone should be casual, casual."

Xiao Ran chuckled: "You said this, don't regret it later."

The emperor said confidently: "You have no joke."

He was too much of a hindrance in the kitchen, running around like someone who had never seen the world, and touching and looking here and there. The attendant, Mr. De, could only ouch and scream all the time, sometimes because he was afraid that he would boil the pot, and sometimes because he was afraid of him. He was injured with the knife, and seeing Xiaoxiao and Gu Changan's faces turned dark, Xiao Ran acted vigorously and got them away.

Eunuch De didn't dare to breathe the whole time. He suspected that if His Majesty didn't leave, General Xiao might kick him.

This, this, this, even if His Majesty says that he is not a king or a minister, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, will not dare to turn a blind eye to this!

The heartbroken Eunuch De felt that just half an hour was more tiring than working as a servant in the palace for a whole day, and he was sweating when he left the kitchen.

Xiaoxiao was relieved as soon as these old men left. Rong Yan did not leave. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "What can I do?"

Xiaoxiao was also not polite to him: "Gig the oranges for me and squeeze the juice. Don't throw away the cut oranges. They will be used as lids later. Don't dig out the flesh of the oranges too clean. Leave some of them inside so they will taste better when steamed."

Rong Yan compared what Xiaoxiao had handled before and quickly finished one. After confirming with Xiaoxiao that it was correct, he began to gradually become a skilled worker.

Gu Changan was very satisfied with Rong Yan's self-consciousness. Sure enough, the children he taught at home were different from those pedantic scholars. If the person Xiaoxiao liked was the kind of person who said "a gentleman stays far away from the cook", he would probably end up with Ran. The son kicked the people out together.
