Chapter 46 - Porridge, a little salty



Caroline got up before dawn.

Without disturbing anyone, she quietly came to the kitchen. She brought in the firewood herself, and used a lighter to light the sawdust to ignite the firewood.

The lighter was naturally left by Zhang Feng.

“Cough cough~”

The firewood was a little wet, and the thick smoke emitted when burning made Caroline choked and unable to open her eyes.

But she didn’t give up. After the firewood was completely burned, she put the washed rice in a pot and boiled it with water, and then put some minced meat, shredded green onion, and shredded ginger.

These are the steps she wrote down when she watched Zhang Feng cook the polished rice porridge. She should remember correctly… right?

When cooking porridge, she boiled a few eggs in another pot.

However, what Zhang Feng mentioned was that Caroline didn’t really understand the method of cooking a soft-hearted egg in five minutes, especially she was a little confused about the time unit of one minute, but Zhang Feng said that one minute is sixty seconds, and A second is the time to count a number.

Five minutes is 300 counts.

After Caroline put the eggs in the pot, she immediately closed the lid and started counting while staring at the pot.

“One, two, three… two hundred and ninety-nine, three hundred!”

At the moment of counting three hundred, Caroline quickly opened the pot, and she didn’t care about the heat coming from the shop. She held a large spoon and quickly filled the eggs, as if she couldn’t wait for a second.

“Hu~hu~”

The egg was very hot, and Caroline didn’t dare to hold it with her hands, so she could only blow it first, and then carefully place it in the bowl with a spoon.

The smoke in the kitchen is already a bit thick.

“Grumble~”

At this moment, the pot for cooking porridge opened, and Caroline came to the other side without stopping, opened the lid of the pot, and the smell was instantly fragrant.

Caroline’s happy eyes narrowed. It was this smell, yes!

“Ah yes, there are also steamed buns!”

Caroline hurried to find the steamed buns. Since the steamed buns are cooked and easily spoiled if they are not stored properly, they did not put them together.

There were not many steamed buns left, so Caroline brought them all.

Then boil a pot of water again, put a few bamboo strips on the water surface in the pot, and put some hard steamed buns in it.

But at this time, Caroline discovered another major problem – the stove was not burning!

She brought a large bundle of firewood again and put it all into the stove. Then she took a burning log from the stove next door and stuffed it into the stove.

“Cough cough~”

The thick smoke from the three stove pits was very choking, but there was no way. At this point, Caroline could only bite the bullet.

After the water in the pot boiled, Caroline quickly used a knife to insert the steamed buns and put them on the plate.

“Well, it’s already soft, it smells so good!”

The smell of white-flour buns made Caroline swallow her saliva, but she didn’t forget her mission.

“Huh? What does it taste like?”

Caroline moved her nose, she smelled a strange smell!

Suddenly I have a bad feeling!

Caroline put down the steamed buns and hurried to the stove where the porridge was cooked.

A faint mushy smell penetrated into the nostrils.

“It’s over, it’s over…”

Caroline didn’t care about being hot, she poured out the porridge with steam, and the bottom of the pot was burnt. The whole pot of porridge had a mushy smell.

Caroline was a little frustrated, but she still didn’t give up. After she carefully picked out all the black parts of the porridge with a spoon, a small white pot of lean meat porridge appeared in front of her.

Although it still smells of paste, it seems to be no different from what Zhang Feng made in appearance.

At this moment, several servants rushed over in a panic.

“The kitchen is on fire! Help—er, ma’am?”

When the servants saw Caroline with a dirty face, they didn’t know what was going on for a while.

“It’s alright, there’s no fire, you all retreat first!”

Caroline pretended to be calm and let them go.

The servants looked at the things on the stove, and probably figured out the situation, and quickly backed away.

But when the servants withdrew, a bolder maid reminded in a low voice:

“Ma’am, the chimney doesn’t seem to be open…”

After speaking, he quietly retreated.

Caroline blushed, a little embarrassed. She knew where the switch to turn on the chimney was, but she had forgotten about it before.

After quickly turning on the switch on the chimney, thick smoke ran up, and the air in the kitchen was indeed much cleaner.

Caroline picked up the lean meat porridge and put it on the tray, and then put the steamed buns and eggs on it. She personally carried the tray towards Zhang Feng’s room.

At this time, the sky was already turning white, and the servants all got up and started to work.

Facing the slight morning light, Caroline carefully brought breakfast to Zhang Feng’s room.

“Will Mr. Zhang Feng be very happy when he sees the breakfast I made?”

“But my porridge seems to be overcooked. I wonder if it will taste bad?”

“I’m a little worried that it doesn’t suit Mr. Zhang Feng’s taste, but I’ve come here…”

Caroline removed the messy thoughts in her mind, and she took a deep breath.

dong dong dong!

“Master Zhang Feng, breakfast is ready, I’ll bring it to you!”

There is no echo inside.

Caroline asked again, but there was still no answer in the room.

dong dong dong!

A hint of panic suddenly appeared on Caroline’s face. She gently pushed the door, and found that the door was not locked, and opened as soon as she pushed it.

With her breakfast in hand, she walked in cautiously.

But the room was empty.

“Are you gone…”

Caroline’s tone was a little nervous and lonely. She didn’t know what was going on, so she felt that her heart was in a mess right now.

She went to the study to take a look again, but there was no one there.

“It’s really gone…”

Caroline was very afraid that Zhang Feng would never return, but Zhang Feng promised her that he would definitely come back, which made Caroline very contradictory, and she didn’t know whether to believe him or not.

Because judging from the things Zhang Feng took out and the daily life situation, the place where Zhang Feng is located is definitely not comparable to the Red Leaf City, and the Red Leaf City is far inferior!

Perhaps in Zhang Feng’s opinion, Hongye City is an ignorant and backward place!

Facing such a poor place~www.mtlnovel.com~, will he really come back?

Caroline couldn’t tell why she was so afraid of Zhang Feng leaving.

It stands to reason that the current Red Leaf City will be on the right track immediately, and even without Zhang Feng, the Red Leaf City will be able to survive.

But why do you care so much about Zhang Feng?

Thinking that Zhang Feng might never come back, Caroline suddenly felt a little pain in her heart.

Caroline, who was somewhat confused, picked up the porridge she cooked and took a sip.

“It’s a bit salty…”

……

On the other side, Zhang Feng opened his eyes and saw the familiar little nest. He was in a good mood.

Turning over to get up, Zhang Feng’s mind moved, and his exotic clothes immediately turned into long sleeves, jeans, and sneakers.

He went to the refrigerator to get a box of yogurt, licked the bottle cap, and muttered:

“I don’t know what Caroline ate in the morning. Without me, she wouldn’t be eating boiled meat in salted water again! But she’s really stupid, she can’t even cook a meal!”

Shaking his head, Zhang Feng doesn’t have any hope for Caroline’s cooking skills. After all, the fried eggs can be fried, so what else can you expect?

hum~ hum~

At this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated, Zhang Feng took it out and took a look, good guy, dozens of missed calls!

Except for a few calls from Lin Yulan, the others were all unfamiliar numbers. Zhang Feng estimated that it should be Wang Boyu, a treasure appraiser.

Seeing that he made so many calls, there should be something urgent. Could it be that there is something new about the old antique?

Seeing that the other party was not bad and that he had earned 500,000 from him, Zhang Feng felt that he should call back immediately. After all, he seemed to be in a hurry.

So Zhang Feng broadcast to Lin Yulan’s number.
