Chapter 275 Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao

Xiao Qiao pursed her lips, causing Da Qiao, who was beside her with her flowing hair and pink clothes, to chuckle.

"Well, you've read your father's book, and it says that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen."

Da Qiao spoke softly, but her eyes kept looking at the figure standing under the tree in the courtyard.

Lin Chen watched Qiao Xuan's skillful way of killing sheep.

Cut the throat, bleed and blow, and then peel the skin.

In less than five minutes, the whole sheepskin was peeled off.

What a good craft!

As for what Da Qiao said, Lin Chen nodded slightly and said, "Miss Da Qiao is right. This saying comes from Mencius: A gentleman cannot bear to see the death of animals when he sees them alive, and cannot bear to eat their meat when he hears their voices. Therefore, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen."

Seeing Lin Chen agree, the young lady who pretended to be elegant had a hint of joy in her bright eyes.

Only Xiao Qiao, who was familiar with her elder sister's past style, did not laugh.

No wonder the books say that when a woman sees someone she likes, she will act pretentiously.

The ancients never lied to me.

As for Qiao Xuan, he washed the blood off his hands and chatted with Lin Chen.

It turned out that he learned the skill of slaughtering sheep from the local shepherd when he was a county magistrate in the frontier before he came to Beijing to take up his post.

"In that case, Lin is in for a treat today." Lin Chen laughed.

Today, Qiao Xuan slaughtered sheep to entertain guests.

In modern terms, Qiao Xuan plans to have a barbecue BBQ.

Unlike modern barbecue, the meat is cut and grilled on skewers.

In ancient times, the host would let the guests choose the part they want to eat, and then cut it off and grill it.

Lin Chen looked at it and chose a piece of meat from the leg of the lamb.

Qiao Xuan saw this and immediately cut it off with a knife.

Looking at Qiao Xuan's neat movements, it can be seen that he is not a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken.

During the grilling period

Qiao Xuan led Lin Chen into the inner courtyard and sat down separately.

There was already a stove cooking wine.

"Lord Lin, this is Qiao's homemade turbid wine, I hope you don't dislike it." Qiao Xuan said modestly.

Lin Chen took a look at the wine poured into the cup, which was shimmering with some light green microscopic objects.

This is the green ant wine that often appears in some poems.

These floating objects appear simply because of the rough craftsmanship.

This reminded Lin Chen of brewing wine.

In ancient times, strong liquor was also a luxury to a certain extent.

Unexpectedly, he found another business for Ziwei Chamber of Commerce.

Suddenly, Lin Chen slapped his forehead.

Now is not the time to think about this.

Lin Chen did not dislike the green ant wine, and took a sip.

How to evaluate its taste?

From the perspective of Lin Chen, a modern person, the taste is very similar to that of crude rice wine.

In terms of alcohol content alone, it is probably only about ten degrees.

Just when Lin Chen and Qiao Xuan were drinking wine and talking about trivial matters in the court.

Suddenly, a pleasant sound of the piano was heard.

Then, there was a sound of the guzheng that was not to be outdone.

The two competed with each other, but they were inexplicably harmonious.

Lin Chen thought of the introduction of the two Qiao sisters in the original history.

It was said that the two girls were good at music.

Today, it was true.

But at this moment.

The sound of the piano suddenly became hurried, and then the melody was messed up.

The guzheng stopped.

Then there was a sound of fighting.

Crack.

Behind the screen that was hit, two graceful figures hugged each other and rolled out.

Lin Chen looked closely and found that they were naturally the two sisters, the two Qiao sisters.

However, looking at the appearance of these two people, it seems that their relationship is not as harmonious as written in the history books?

Lin Chen didn't understand.

Only Qiao Xuan was so angry that his beard trembled slightly, and he didn't know what to do with his two daughters who were disrespectful to their elders.

Seeing that they had made a fool of themselves in front of the guests, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao quickly let go of each other, and then began to tidy up their clothes, and bowed to Lin Chen with a slightly red face.

"General Lin, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

Qiao Xuan sighed, as if he was very tired.

Lin Chen shook his head and said politely: "The two daughters of Mr. Qiao are very..."

He paused and added, "Very energetic."

"Hehe~"

Xiao Qiao was watching the fun and laughed tenderly and crisply.

She felt that the General Lin in front of her was really a very interesting person.

Only Da Qiao's earlobes turned red jade because of shyness.

She was not as heartless as her little sister.

Naturally, she understood that this was a embarrassment.

Lin Chen was not surprised, and continued to smooth things over.

Speaking of the sound of the zither played by Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao just now, it was very nice. Even if he was not in the same tune, he could hear the beauty of it.

Seeing Lin Chen talking about this, Da Qiao immediately became energetic and volunteered to sing another song.

Xiao Qiao also expressed her willingness to join.

"Don't make trouble!" Da Qiao whispered to her little sister.

After the latter nodded, Da Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisp sound of spring water rang out again.

This time, the two cooperated closely and felt like real sisters.

Lin Chen nodded and applauded.

After the song ended, the servants of the Qiao Mansion brought the roasted mutton.

This golden and crispy mutton was sprinkled with some seasonings.

It looks like it should taste very good.

This time, Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao also took their seats.

Lin Chen was also fortunate to see Mrs. Qiao Xuan, who gave birth to Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

It can only be said that genes are inherited.

Although she is old, it can be seen that she was also a stunning beauty when she was young.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.

Lin Chen thanked Qiao Xuan for his hospitality.

Qiao Xuan waved his hand while holding his beard, saying that he was even more grateful to Lin Chen for saving his daughter.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lin Chen said goodbye.

There was only the daughter's boudoir in the Qiao Mansion.

Xiao Qiao waved her hand to let her sister come back to her senses.

"Don't look, everyone is gone."

Da Qiao came back to her senses and glared at her sister with a little annoyance.

"Why did you drag me to embarrass myself in front of General Lin today?"

"Who said that? I was just careless."

Xiao Qiao argued.

After a fight, the two sisters, whose clothes were slightly stained, leaned together and talked about what happened that day.

That day, the two of them were kidnapped by the ruffians arranged by Jia She.

They thought they were going to be in trouble, but they never expected a hero to come.

"Sister, did you see what General Lin looked like under the mask?" Xiao Qiao asked with pretended curiosity.

"Is it as rumored that he was ugly and dared not see people?"

Da Qiao's eyes suddenly became erratic when she heard this.

"Ugly?"

If General Lin is ugly, then there are no good-looking men in this world.

However.

Da Qiao didn't know what she was thinking, and she said to her sister: "Don't talk about other people's appearance behind their backs."

The implication is that Lin Chenjia's appearance is indeed not good-looking.

However, hearing her sister's words, Xiao Qiao curled her lips.

Did her elder sister think that she was the only one who saw it that day?

She was just testing, but she didn't expect that even her own sister was on guard!

Humph!

Xiao Qiao got up, tidied her clothes, and suddenly smiled and said: "Sister, when we were young, you and I agreed to emulate the wives of Emperor Shun, Ehuang and Nvying."
