Guide to the Empress becoming a God

Chapter 37 Who is coming?

"You woke up so early? Is there too much movement in this room, disturbing you?"

"No. I've never liked lazy beds."

Yan Yan walked over, took Mu Juan'er's hand and led her to sit down at the small square table by the south wall of the backyard, then turned around and was about to enter the kitchen.

"Eat breakfast first, I'll be here specially to wait for you." Mu Juan'er held her back, pushed her to sit down in front of the table, and opened the earthen pot on the table with her own hands.

Yan Yan looked into the soup pot curiously, it was a full pot of yellow and clear snow-winged wild duck soup.

There is also a drawer of hot rice bread on the table, and two plates of cold dishes topped with vegetable oil...

It's all the flavors that Yanyan mentioned inadvertently, she likes to eat.

The soup was untouched at first glance, and was reserved for her.

This kind of beautiful creamy yellow soup color can never be boiled for two or three hours.

Brought two bowls, Yanyan filled the soup and said: "Bi Cheng worships me as a teacher, it has nothing to do with our friendship. If you want to cook me breakfast all the time, I won't eat it."

Letting a blind person with limited mobility take care of her, Yan Yan could not accept it in conscience.

Holding the soup bowl, Mu Juan'er smiled gently: "Ah Cheng used to get up early at work, and I'm used to getting up early to cook and eat. I'm very happy to hear that you like the meals I made by myself. You won't let me do anything. Do it, I find it boring.”

Mu Juan'er was very diligent, and Yan Yan knew that she was telling the truth, so she stopped forcing herself and went into the kitchen after breakfast.

Seeing Yan Yan coming in, several young men surrounding Bi Cheng hurriedly put down their work and came over to salute Yan Yan respectfully.

All the honorifics were used, which was obviously explained by Bi Cheng in advance.

Bi Cheng also hurriedly put down the spatula in his hand, came over and saluted respectfully: "Master worked hard yesterday, we should rest more."

Yanyan asked everyone to continue working, and went to the cooking table to check the ingredients.

Bi Cheng hurriedly waved all the people away, and said respectfully: "Master, don't worry, all the ingredients are of the highest quality, and they are all brought by the masters outside. The apprentice originally planned to go to buy the goods early in the morning. Before I went out, I was blocked by these diners." home."

Yanyan nodded: "I've seen yesterday's order, these ingredients can't be used up, so keep the best ones, you understand the reason."

Bi Cheng hurriedly replied: "Apprentice knows, I have already stayed, and they are all here, you have a look."

Bi Cheng brought over a big old bamboo basket, and lifted the rattan cover on the door to show Yan Yan.

Yan Yan nodded, turned around and was ready to go out.

"Master, you, are you going out now?" Bi Cheng said with a little guilt.

Yanyan smiled: "What? You have been cooking for more than ten years, and you want me to teach you?"

Bi Cheng was a little embarrassed: "No, my apprentice doesn't have your skills, I'm afraid..."

Yanyan patted Bi Cheng on the shoulder: "To be my apprentice, the first thing you must have is enough self-confidence. I have taught you the basic techniques, and the rest must be practiced diligently, plus the exclusive secret material I gave you Maru, let's go and do it freely. There is no one in the kitchen business in Luwu City that is your match!"

"Yes! Apprentice respectfully obeys Master's instruction!" Bi Cheng's spirit lifted, and he responded sonorously, his whole body immediately full of energy.

Yanyan nodded in relief, and walked out with her hands behind her back, leaving the steaming kitchen to Bi Cheng.

Throughout the day, she never stepped into the kitchen again.

Instead of sitting by the wall drinking tea and eating sunflower seeds, just take out a book and flip through it, all the orders are completed by Bi Cheng alone.

Making a banquet is a handicraft.

Making more than a dozen tables of noodles is physical work.

This kind of hard work, of course, has to be done by Bi Cheng.

As for the noble masters outside who are eagerly waiting to taste the chef's cooking skills, Mu Juan'er's clever mouth is blocking the door, and the ghost master knows who is cooking in the kitchen.

Except for the buyer who had eaten the dishes last night, no one knew what they tasted like. Naturally, they didn't know the true level of those dishes.

Only Mu Juan'er quietly turned her face to Yanyan and stuck out her tongue from time to time: "This dish is a bit hot, I don't know if the young leaves are burnt... It's a bit late to start the pot, and the fragrance of the dish is gone... Ah Inherit this skill, it's still far behind you."

Yanyan peeled the melon seeds slowly: "The heat is cooked slowly, it doesn't matter, just grind it a little longer."

Those fat-headed nobles don't have a heart as clear as Mu Juan'er, so they know a thing or two.

At sunset, the last wave of guests was dismissed, and the small courtyard finally became quiet.

The young helpers received their wages for the day, and even the kitchen yard was cleaned up, and they hooked up and went to drink.

Bi Cheng put the recovered order balance, the heavy two generations of gold, on the table, and looked at the two women sitting beside the table with a smirk.

After two days of busy work, I have earned enough for a lifetime of chewing!
Master, she is simply a cash cow!
Cash Cow had no expression on his face, and took a sip from his teacup.

Bi Cheng: "..."

Mu Juaner: "..."

Why are you still unhappy?
It's so worrying, so distressing, but I just don't know what to do.

Yanyan raised her head, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the wooden window onto the pale yellow powder wall opposite her.

Standing up, she stretched her waist long: "It's been hard work today, you two should rest earlier."

From the beginning to the end, Yan Yan never looked at those few gold bags.

Bi Cheng and Mu Juan'er touched each other's hands under the table.

Yanyan didn't pay attention to their small movements, and walked towards the door with slightly lowered eyebrows.

As soon as one foot stepped over the threshold of the main room, there was a clear sound of hoofbeats in the deep alley, and a sedan chair slowly stopped outside the gate of the small courtyard.

Yanyan raised her head abruptly, and turned around to look at Bi Cheng nervously: "Quick, get ready to entertain distinguished guests!"

"Ah? Hey!" Bi Cheng and Mu Juan'er got up in a panic.

The two of them had never seen Yan Yan so flustered.

...Who is here? This is it?
There are two rattan chairs and a small rattan table in the center of the courtyard.

On one of the chairs sat a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing a navy blue gauze satin gown with a ganoderma pattern. He was of medium build, and his complexion was surprisingly fair.

Because his skin was extremely white, it made his not-so-excellent appearance look a little more gentle and kind.He wears a tall scarf of the same color on his head, and the forehead of the hat is in the middle, embellished with a piece of warm white jade.

The man's demeanor is serene and gentle, not like the richest man in the city, but like a civil servant who has become an official.

The only place where he showed his wealth was playing with a golden three-legged coin holding toad in his palm.

The middle-aged man sat opposite to Bi Cheng, and they were talking.

The butler behind him stood upright.

Yan Yan stood by the window of the inner room, quietly looking at the middle-aged man in a trance.

After not hearing her move for a long time, Mu Juan'er walked over slowly: "What are you looking at? So fascinated."

Yanyan's eyes didn't move, and her words were absent-minded: "I'm watching, how is his appearance different from ours."
