While she was thinking about it, she saw Xie Xun pick up a shrimp, put it in the bowl, and frowned
Jiang Shuyao just took out the shrimp vein, but shrimps that Xie Xun had eaten since his childhood were treated very cleanly. When encountering shrimps with heads and tails, he didn't know how to eat them.
He didn't like anyone standing by his side when he was eating a meal, but now there were no people who could peel his shrimps.
Jiang Shuyao didn't know what to say, so she picked up a shrimp and said to him, "Look at how I eat it."
"Bite off the head... bite off the tail... the skin is crispy and it comes off." She said and demonstrated. "Look, it just peels off."
Xie Xun's eyebrows jumped wildly, this gesture was too inelegant!
Jiang Shuyao didn't care what he thought, she started to eat with a storm again. Xie Xun hesitated again and again, and learned to follow her. He had never been too particular when he traveled abroad, but he was too rigid and serious.
After he figured it out, he learned the movements of Jiang Shuyao to peel the shrimp with his teeth. The first one was difficult to peel, the second one he was barely used to it, and the third one was gradually smooth... He didn't know how many he peeled, it slowly stacked on the plate and raised into a hill.
Jiang Shuyao immersed herself in the meal. After a while, she noticed something was wrong. Why did shrimps disappear from the pot?!
She looked at Xie Xun, the good fellow, everything had gone into his stomach.
She speeded up. The faster she ate, Xie Xun was affected by her and also raised his speed. The two of them were sweating profusely after eating, and they were immersed in the meal.
In the end, she couldn't hold it any longer. Jiang Shuyao stopped her chopsticks, and when she glanced at the dishes in the pot, there is only the bottom left. When she came out with the pan earlier, she thought that she was cooking too much. She estimated that she and Xie Xun could only eat half of them, but she didn't expect this person could really eat.
After eating, Jiang Shuyao went to the yard for a stroll to help digestion. Xie Xun went back to the study to read, but after she was no longer in the yard, he sneaked out of the study.
He was more panicked than Jiang Shuyao. He ate a lot in the meal at the Lord Xiangyang's house today, and he had another big meal in the evening, which was usually enough for two days.
Xie Xun went out of the yard and went around in the outer yard. Just when he feels a bit better, he was held down by his elder brother who was watching the moon in the pavilion next to the small bamboo forest to play chess. Two stinky chess game were one hour at a time, and Xie Xun's stomach cramped from sitting still.
He went back to the study to wash and go to bed, but after turning left and right he still couldn't sleep. He just got up and went outside to practice the sword for a while, and the night breeze blew more of his energy.
After such a toss, he fell asleep only after the fourth watch, and he was on duty the next day, so of course he woke up late.
"Master, get some snack to eat on the road." His personal servant, Zhi Yan, followed behind and shouted.
Xie Xun adjusted his cuffs as he walked, and replied, "Not eating."
"Master, somehow cushion your stomach."
"No." Xie Xie walked out the door and returned, almost hitting Zhi Yan, "Where is my jade pendant?"
"This one, this one." Zhi Mo came from behind the screen, and handed Xie Xun the jade pendant.
Xie Xun put it on and hurried out.
Zhi Yan was still following and whispering, "Then when you pass by the alley and go around the road, you can buy a sesame cake."
Xie Xun was impatient, "I know."
The master and servant scurried walking and chasing one by one, and a curious voice came from not far away, "Huh, did you wake up late too?"
Xie Xun hurriedly stopped and looked sideways.
Jiang Shuyao held a roll in each hand, with sauce on the corner of her mouth. Her mouth was still chewing, and her cheeks was bulging like a hamster.
Behind her were the four maids, each one was eating happily.
"I'm not late." Xie Xun explained weakly.
Jiang Shuyao had an "I understand" look in her eyes, and talked like an aunt who walked early in the morning, "Hey, I haven't eaten this yet. Do you want to have a portion?"
Xie Xie was about to refuse, but Jiang Shuyao had already handed him the crepe from her left hand to him, "Here."
Xie Xun was stuffed with a share. The oiled paper was cut to a large size and folded into a roll, which fit into his sleeve.
He had no time to delay, so he thanked her and left in a hurry.
Jiang Shuyao looked at his leaving back, and sighed, "It's nice not having to go to work."

She took a bite of the crepe, um... it's almost perfect, it's better to wrap it with spicy strips.
She thought of crepes stands at the school's entrance. She could smell the scent from a long distance away. The crust was spread thin and soft, and an egg was added. The egg smelt nice, brushed with sauce, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and spicy strips. The ham, lettuce and crisp, after one bite, the heat would churn in the mouth, and she would rush to the school while breathing hard. She was full of thoughts that the next time she must put more crisp.
"How is it?" She turned to ask the few maids.
"Well, it's delicious, it tastes really fresh."
"The sauce tastes good, and it would be better if you put a little more."
"I like the crisp inside. It crunchy when you bite."
Jiang Shuyao was amused, "If it's delicious, you can make a few more when you're done."
...
Xie Xun saw that it was still early, he sighed in relief. He slowed down his horse, and turned from the end of the street.
He loosened the reins, let the horse find his way to the imperial city, and then took out the hot crepe in his sleeve.
Someone behind him called him, "Bo Yuan!"
After he had a meal, the man ran over on his horse, saw that he was holding food in his hand, and smiled, "You don't have breakfast either."
This person is the prime minister's grandson, and he is on duty with him at Teacher Zhan's Mansion. The two of them had played together since childhood, and they could be counted as cousins around corners.
"Me too. I just bought the mutton sesame seed cake at the end of the alley." He shook the sesame seed cake in his hand and took a bite. "What did you buy?"
Xie Xun shook his head, "I didn't buy it, but brought it from home. "
Lin Cheng envied him, "Ai, I'm also tired of those cakes at the end of the alley. It would be nice if my main kitchen also made cakes for me. Unfortunately, my mother always talks about it, telling me to get up early and eat at home, instead of buying food outside."
Xie Xun knew that he misunderstood, and couldn't explain that Jiang Shuyao forced it on him, so he just laughed awkwardly.
Lin Cheng didn't ask much, he shut up and began to eat the cake.
Xie Xun also started eating with him, took a bite of the crepe. The taste was strange, especially the crispy fried outer layer, it made a crispy sound when he bites.
The sauce was rich, and the outer layer of the meat which was wrapped in the innermost layer was grilled until it's browned. The meat inside was fresh and tender. After a bite, the fragrant gravy burst in the mouth, making the tip of his tongue slightly tingled.
He seemed to understand why Lin Cheng liked to eat breakfast while riding a horse.
The capital in the early morning was not very lively. There were only sparsely pedestrians on the road. The sound of small conversations was drowned in the sound of shouts and birds, and the smoke from cooking was mixed together, which can't hide the green forest in the distance. The horse under them move forward leisurely. He bite a bit of the steaming crepe, and felt like human fireworks.
Lin Cheng ate the last bite of the sesame cake, smashed the wrapper and complained, "The mutton is getting less and less." After finished speaking, he looked at the crepe in Xie Xun's hand, "Bo Yuan, you... this cake... What's in it?"
Xie Xun replied, "Eggs, meat, vegetable leaves."
"I heard you bite something crunchy, what is that?"
"It must be fried dough or something."
"Oh~ Will you have it tomorrow at your house? Can you give me some?"
Xie Xie hesitated, "I don't know, probably won't."
"Well, if you do, then give me a share ."
The two chatted, riding side by side towards the imperial city.

Sure enough, Jiang Shuyao didn't get up early the next day, and Xie Xun is inexplicably relieved. If she did, he wouldn't be able to open his mouth to ask for two crepes.
Jiang Shuyao lived in the Bamboo Courtyard. She ate, drank and skept every day. Her days were extremely comfortable. Apart from staring at her maternal dowry shop, her life was boring.
When people were free, they liked to make fun and delicious food. After she got the milk and butter that Bai Zhi bought last time, she started thinking about pastry.
Although there was a lack of tools in ancient times, human resources were sufficient. The four maids took turns, and two hours later they finally whipped a large pot of egg whites. The bread kiln built last time came in handy. The cake batter was put in the kiln and baked, and after a while the whole yard is full of sweet smell.
Everyone in the yard smelled greedily, and after the cake came out, Jiang Shuyao divided a small piece for each of them, and by the way she has someone to send it to the two little nephews of the first room.
Xu -shi 's life had been quite comfortable recently. After the twins were called back from Jiang Shuyao last time, the two obediently agreed not to look for her again. Jiang Shuyao also quietly shrank in her yard and did not make a fuss. A few days have passed in the house. As if there is no such person.
To say that she hated Jiang Shuyao too much, it's not that she hated her. But now the entire capital city was waiting to see the jokes of Duke Xie's mansion, speculating about when Xie Xun would divorce his wife. Her eldest son had also reached the age of talking about marriage, but because of Jiang Shuyao's laughingstock, when people mention her eldest son, the first thing they thought of was not his talent and demeanor, but "Xie Ye is the nephew of Xie Yun who married Jiang Shuyao?"
When she thought about it, she became angry again, and beckoned to the maid, "Nothing has happened over there recently?"
The maid hadn't answered yet. Someone ran in from outside to report, "Madam, there is someone in the yard, from the third lady, saying that they are giving some snacks to the two little boys."
"Snacks?" Xu -shi 's heart sneered. They really don't need snacks in the first branch. Xie Ye loved his two younger brothers, and always brought some new snacks to them every time he went out. She also liked sweetness. There were different flavors of pastries on the table every day, but the two children don't like them very much.
"Yes, madam, look..."
Xu -shi waved her hand and didn't care, "Send it over, you can't return it to her. But don't talk too much, if Ah Zhao and Ah Yao don't want to taste it, don't force them."
So the maid leading the Bamboo Courtyard's maid to Xie Zhao and Xie Yao's room where they practiced calligraphy, she asked them to put the cake on the tea table and withdrew.
Xu -shi heard this and continued to reconcile the accounts. After two sticks of incense, Xie Zhao ran over and jumped into her arms.
Xu -shi pushed him away and said with a straight face, "Why do you forgot to behave and forgot manners? You have been enlightened and you are no longer a child."
Xie Zhao was still smiling. He approached again, raised his hand, said coquettishly, "Mother, eat snacks."
Xu -shi 's face was scolding, but her heart had melted into a pool of water. Without seeing what he handed to her mouth, she took a bite and realized that the taste was not right. What kind of snack was it?
Different from the thick and dense texture of pastries that she had eaten in the past, the pastry was extremely fluffy and soft, delicate and pleasant, with a slight milky fragrance.
She looked down at the pastry in Xie Zhao's hand, which she had never seen before. The color was light yellow, the bottom was brown, and it looked very fluffy.
"Is it delicious?"

There was still a faint sweet fragrance in her mouth, the cake had a fine taste. It did not need to be pressed into the usual solid cakes.
Xu -shi replied, "It's delicious."
Xie Zhao's eyes were crescent from his smiles, "Mother take another bite."
The maids were all amused by his appearance, and cheered, "The young master is really filial, there are delicious foods and think about Madam."
Xu -shi liked to hear these words, she smiled and took another bite, tasting the pastry. The presentation is unique and the taste is special. Is it a new cake from Babaofang? No, maybe it's Zhenguolou...
Xu -shi was thinking and heard Xie Zhao say, "This is just sent by my third aunt. I just took a bite and brought it to my mother."
Wait.
Third aunt?
"Cough!" Xu -shi coughed suddenly, her face was flushed red, "Cough, water...cough...water..."
