"I only need to teach you one person, and you can go to the store for me and teach the female workers new tricks." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile, "Of course, if you don't want to, forget it."

"My slave is willing." Zhixia quickly stated that she could do anything she could to help her young lady.

"But can you teach a slave?" Zhixia said unconfidently.

"Why not? Just do what I just taught you." Gu Xiaoyou encouraged.

"This slave is willing to share your worries for the young lady." Zhixia pursed her lips and said firmly.

"You're so kind." Gu Xiaoyou felt warm in his heart and smiled: "But other people are not as good as you. They can't learn it in one go. You have to thank me for your patience in teaching."

"The most important thing I need is patience." Zhixia said with some confidence.

"Small sample." Gu Xiaoyou scratched Zhixia's nose and said with a bit of fondness.

Zhixia blushed in embarrassment and asked impatiently: "When can I help you?"

"I'll teach you more tricks and take you there after you become proficient in paper-cutting." Gu Xiaoyou thought for a while and said.

Zhixia is young, so if she wants to convince the female workers in the backyard, she must be trained in her skills.

"This slave must practice paper-cutting well. Miss, please give me some more tricks." Zhixia said positively.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at the candles on the table. The candles on the candlesticks were almost burnt out. It was probably past eleven o'clock.

"It's too late today. I'll leave some tricks for you tomorrow morning. You can practice at home during the day."

"Okay, I will wait for you to go to bed." Zhixia quickly stood up and said to Gu Xiaoyou.

"No, I'll just wash my face and then go to sleep. You can go back and rest and come back tomorrow morning." Gu Xiaoyou waved her hand and told Zhixia to leave.

"Yes, my servant, please leave." Zhixia responded obediently, then turned around and left.

Gu Xiaoyou rolled his neck, washed himself briefly, then blew out the candle and lay down on the bed.

Lying on the bed, his brain could not rest. Gu Xiaoyou was thinking about what tricks to teach Zhixia, and he fell asleep unconsciously after thinking about it...

The next morning, the raindrops gently beat on the window lattice, like the sound of drum beats.

Gu Xiaoyou woke up amid the soft clicking sound, stretched out and rubbed his beautiful eyes.

Pushing the quilt aside, making a rustling sound, he sat up from the bed.

Almost as soon as she sat up, Zhixia's voice sounded from the door, asking softly: "Miss, are you up?"

"Yeah." Gu Xiaoyou scratched his head and responded lazily.

"The slave has come in." Zhixia reported softly, carrying a basin of warm water through the door.

After placing the washbasin on the stand, Zhixia immediately walked to the edge of the bed and actively helped Gu Xiaoyou get up.

Gu Xiaoyou was in a daze as Zhi Xia put on her embroidered shoes, and then Zhi Xia put on her dress. When she finally woke up, she had already sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair, and Zhi Xia was doing it.

Put a hairpin on her head.

"Miss, your bun is done. Are you satisfied with it?" Zhixia asked softly, holding the mirror.

Gu Xiaoyou blinked her watery eyes, looked at herself in the mirror, and turned her face sideways: "I'm satisfied, my bun looks beautiful today."

Zhixia smiled happily, put the mirror back in front of the dressing table, and asked cautiously: "Then will you go to the west yard for breakfast today?"

"I have to go, I have to make breakfast." Gu Xiaoyou said matter-of-factly.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhixia's eyes: "That depreciation trick..."

"Hey, I haven't forgotten the pattern. You come with me and I'll draw it for you after breakfast." Gu Xiaoyou stood up and patted Zhixia's arm in a comforting way.

She said, why is this girl so active so early in the morning? It turns out she is thinking about all kinds of things.

"Okay, I will go with you." Zhixia immediately smiled.

"Oh, how childish." Gu Xiaoyou shook his head funny, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door.

"Let's go."

"Yes, I will hold an umbrella for you." Zhixia responded positively, holding the oil-paper umbrella high, and followed Gu Xiaoyou to the Zhou family's courtyard.

In the courtyard.

In the kitchen, Gu Xiaoyou rolled up her sleeves and was about to use chopsticks to stir the eggs in the bowl, but Zhixia beat her to it and took the bowl and chopsticks into her hands.

"Leave it to your servant, are you going to stir the eggs?"

"Yes, stir in one direction." Gu Xiaoyou warned.

"My slave understands." Zhixia took the chopsticks and stirred the eggs flexibly.

Gu Xiaoyou sprinkled some sugar and salt into the bowl while she was stirring.

Zhixia was stirring the eggs, and Gu Xiaoyou turned around to get the carrots and washed them in the basin.

After washing, she put the carrots on the cutting board and picked up the kitchen knife. Just as she was about to cut, Zhixia walked over from the side and took the kitchen knife from Gu Xiaoyou's hand.

"Slave, do you want it sliced ​​or diced?"

"Uh, shred it." Gu Xiaoyou blinked and said dryly.

"Okay, cut into shreds." Zhixia responded, picked up the kitchen knife and pressed the carrots to cut into pieces.

Not to mention, Zhixia is very skilled in shredding and shredding like a professional chef, cutting it quickly and well.

Gu Xiaoyou was dazed for a while watching Zhi Xia cut into shreds, then came to his senses and turned around to get the marinated steak last night.

He opened the lid of the bowl and poked it with chopsticks. The steak was marinated in deep red. He picked it up and smelled it to make sure it was in. Gu Xiaoyou took the bowl and came to the stove.

Mrs. Zhou has already heated up the earthenware pot and is using a brush to brush cooking oil on the bottom of the pot: "Has the steak been marinated?"

"Yes, the color is very good." Gu Xiaoyou replied, picking up the special long chopsticks and preparing to put the pork chops into the pot.

At this time, Zhixia Diandian trotted over: "Miss, let the slave come."

Gu Xiaoyou's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and he looked at Zhixia with a flattering look in his eyes as he handed the bowl and chopsticks out: "Okay, I'll let you do it."

"Thank you, miss." Zhixia smiled shyly and took the bowl and chopsticks.

Taking the long chopsticks into her hands, Zhixia was stunned: "Miss, are these chopsticks?"

"Well, you use it to put the steak into the pot and hold the top to prevent it from being splashed by oil."

Gu Xiaoyou taught Zhixia how to use long chopsticks step by step. Zhixia quickly got started and put the steak into the pot according to Gu Xiaoyou's instructions.

The steak made a sizzling sound as soon as it entered the pot, and the air was immediately filled with the unique aroma of barbecue.

"It smells so good." Zhixia sniffed and couldn't help but say.

"It can be even more fragrant." Gu Xiaoyou smiled and sprinkled a little pepper on the steak. When it was almost fried, he took out honey and applied a layer of honey on the steak with a brush: "Turn over."
