C222 (1/2)
When it was the fifteenth day of the first month, Dong Shu had already woken up before the sky had even begun to brighten.
Just as she was about to quietly get up, who knew that Xu Shiqiu beside her would wake up the moment she woke up, and sense her movements. She immediately reached out and wrapped her arms around her waist, and said: ”Sleep a while longer, it's still early.”
”What's too early? Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law are coming to our house for breakfast this morning. Although I had instructed the kitchen over and over again, master still doesn't have the right to directly sleep in front of guests.”
Although she said that, in the end, Dong Shu borrowed Xu Shiqiu's actions to lie down again. After lying down quietly for less than an incense's time, Dong Shu still climbed back up.
After being tormented by Dong Shu, Xu Shiqiu had also lost his sleepiness, thinking that Yuanxi, his family, had not even finished the third or the full moon, so capturing Zhou was Mother's idea to cause a ruckus. It was only natural for Young Girl to be so concerned about him.
”It's still cold, you should wear more. If you can't, hug a warm stove in your arms.” While talking, Xu Shiqiu also followed Dong Shu and stood up. Seeing movement coming from outside, he knew that Ling Xiang and the rest had woken up.
”I know. Hubby still has some time before your daily morning practice. Why don't you sleep for a while longer?” As Dong Shu spoke, her hands also quickly helped herself to get dressed.
Although their status and identity were different now, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were not used to servants serving them in the house.
Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu laughed in his heart, but he held back and laughed: ”You're worried about Yuanxi seizing the Zhou banquet, how can it be possible that I, as your father, am not thinking about it? You can go busy yourself, I'll go train in the morning, and then, I'll personally take Yuanxi with me. ”
Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately stopped her movements, turned, and kissed Xu Shiqiu lightly on the lips.
”I knew Hubby was the best.” As Dong Shu spoke, her pair of new moon eyes also shined shockingly.
But Xu Shiqiu, who would have thought that Dong Shu would suddenly kiss him, before he could react, and just as she was about to embrace Young Girl to deepen the kiss, Young Girl who just finished saying that had already walked out a few steps, away from him.
Xu Shiqiu laughed bitterly at his actions, but in the end, he could only watch as Young Girl quickly dressed and left the room, calling Ling Xiang and the others to bring hot water.
However, Xu Shiqiu's heart, after being kissed by Dong Shu just now, had instead turned into a ball of fire.
After calculating in his heart when his guests would be able to leave tonight, he decided to have a good night's fight with the Young Girl twice.
Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking, she was concerned about other matters. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she simply pulled back her hair and walked outside with her cape draped over her shoulders.
She still had to go to the kitchen after all, so Dong Shu didn't rush to comb her makeup. Even the clothes she wore were still the ordinary clothes she usually wore at home.
When Dong Shu arrived at the big kitchen, the big kitchen was already busy.
This morning's meal, was only for his own family, and even Xu Nuanwen, the outsider married woman, was unable to come back to eat.
Although he was only from the Xu Family himself, the Xu Family that had reached the Xu Family yesterday was also present.
This was the first banquet guest for the third branch of the Xu Family. Adding on the fact that the sons of the Xu and second branch families were gradually gaining prospects, their side branch Xu Family could be considered quite good.
This way, just based on Xu Family alone, there would be three to four tables of people in the morning.
”How are your preparations?”
Dong Shu asked the moment she entered the kitchen. The moment she finished speaking, the two stewards of the large kitchen arrived in front of her one after the other.
The man in the front answered respectfully: ”Madam, the people in the big kitchen have divided into three groups to keep an eye on us. The fire in the big kitchen has not stopped yet. We can only wait until quarter to noon to deliver the food to the hall.”
Just as the male manager finished speaking, the female manager who was behind him also spoke up, ”The food that Madam has ordered for the past few days has been prepared. In addition, all kinds of small snacks are prepared according to the snacks provided by Madam in the kitchen. ”
After listening to the two stewards' words, Dong Shu nodded her head in satisfaction.
”We are all family members in the morning. Although the food need not be extravagant, it must be guaranteed that the master and his wife will have the perfect time to eat it. That specially made Five Blessed Noodles, you must wait until it is on the table before you cook it properly. ”
When Dong Shu's voice fell, the two stewards naturally immediately responded respectfully.
The noodles that Dong Shu talked about was something that she had accidentally seen in the kitchen that was made with vegetable juice and noodles.
At her command, the kitchen used four different kinds of vegetables along with a plain white noodles. They specially made this' Five Blessed Mask 'out of a kind heart.
Therefore, today's' Five Blessed Noodles' was not enough for everyone to eat, so no one could only try a little. If one wanted to eat enough, they still had to eat other things.
Not only this noodle soup, Dong Shu had also spent a lot of time thinking about the soup and the water in it. The reason why Dong Shu made the kitchen think about it for a long time and specially made out dozens of flavors was so that the whole family could eat happily this morning.
