Juan Wang's Little Lady: Nongmen hunters work hard to plow the fields

Chapter 48 High Salary Hiring
Yan Heng came to the door, Zhang Jianshan had expected this matter.He paid ten taels of gold for a pair of bear paws, and made it clear that he intended to make friends with the couple, but he didn't expect that he would be so free and come so soon.

It was not Zhang Jianshan's wish to alarm the descendants of the Hou's Mansion in the capital.But since he got to know Su Lian, he has started to see the tricks.For example, in a game of chess, the changes in the chess game are all calculated, and dealing with variables is a situation that people in the game must face.

Zhang Jianshan knew in his heart that his thinking was more or less an excuse for the little lady.

"Brother Jianshan, the first time I saw you, I felt that I hit it off very well. Have we met before?" Yan Heng asked.

Zhang Jianshan shook his head and said with a smile: "I grew up in the mountains, and I have never left the border of Qinghe County; Da Dong's family is from the capital, so I probably have never seen them before."

Yan Heng said, "Maybe it was because we passed each other in the city."

Zhang Jianshan smiled without saying a word.At the Lantern Festival family banquet when he was five years old, he remembered clearly who he met and what he said.

"Why did the big boss come from the capital to a small place like Qinghe? Don't you feel bored?" Zhang Jianshan intentionally turned the conversation back to Yan Heng himself.

Yan Heng said with a faint smile: "Although the capital is prosperous, it is full of institutions. It can't compare to the beautiful mountains and rivers here, and the leisure and ease here."

Zhang Jianshan naturally understands the truth that Hou Men is as deep as the sea.In the families of royal relatives and nobles, the fate of the concubine is often difficult to control.

Just like this Yan Heng, even though his father loved him a lot, once he loses his support, he can only end up being kicked out of the house, not as good as a dog in the Hou's mansion.

The ancestors of the Zhang family established the family rules long ago in order to avoid conflicts between the descendants and concubines and wives and concubines. All the children of the Zhang family are not allowed to take concubines. If they want to take concubines, they must separate the genealogy.

Yan Heng said quietly again: "Seeing Brother Shan not only has a beautiful family like a flower, but also has the freedom of heaven and earth, it is really a joyful life."

What a lovely girl.Zhang Jianshan couldn't help laughing, how did others know that his wife was the reincarnation of a hedgehog spirit, she couldn't be touched.

"I'm just a villager in the mountains. Life in the mountains is hard and miserable. The big boss doesn't know about it."

Seeing that the pastries on the table were exquisitely made, Yan Heng couldn't help but look at them a few more times.Zhang Jianshan noticed it, and greeted him: "This is a pastry made by Zhuo Jing himself. It is made of chestnuts picked up in the mountains. It is delicious after I eat it. Don't be disgusted with it, Mr. Big Boss, let's taste a few first to fill our stomachs. "

Yan Heng didn't bother to talk about the fake politeness, so he picked up a chestnut cake from the plate and ate it.After taking a few bites, his eyes widened.

"How is this made? It's even better than the Nanxin shop in the capital!"

Zhang Jianshan thought to himself, right, I also think it's better than Yuchu's.But he said modestly: "It's just the rough food in the countryside, don't make fun of the big boss."

Na Yan Heng ate three of them in a row, and he completely lost his previous reserved air: "How is this done? I'll ask my chef to learn it tomorrow."

As soon as Zhang Jianshan heard that he was going to send someone over, he was about to shirk, but Su Lian poked his head out and said, "The dishes are ready, it's time to eat."

She put the dishes on the small dining table and brought them out, and Aji ran out following the fragrance of the dishes like a puppy.Yan Heng saw that the child did not look like Su Lian at all, and knew that the child was not the child of the two.

Yan Heng had also inquired about Zhang Jianshan and his wife before, and knew that Su Lian was the daughter of a teacher in the city, and married Zhang Jianshan as a sequel.

Having said that, her father is really generous enough, even betrothed his prodigal daughter who is as beautiful as jade and well-educated to a hunter in the mountains...

Although Aji was a child who grew up in the mountains, he learned the rules very well.As long as the guests don't move their chopsticks, he will never be the first to serve the bowl.

Yan Heng thought that Mrs. Su would sit down and eat together, but she didn't expect that she would turn around and go back as soon as she set the table and chopsticks.Yan Heng hurriedly got up and said: "Thank you, lady, won't you sit down and have a meal together?"

Su Lian heard the words, turned around and bowed lazily, and said: "My family saw Brother Shan said that Lian'er is a woman, and women are not worthy of eating at the table."

Zhang Jianshan almost blurted out "When did I say such a thing", but then he thought that since this girl said that, she must have her own opinion, so he suppressed the words in his stomach.

Yan Heng originally wanted to stay with Su Lian for dinner, after all he still had something to ask this little lady.Unexpectedly, Aji suddenly reminded him very politely: "Dear guest, please have dinner."

Yan Heng glanced at the child, and couldn't help laughing—the child's saliva was almost dripping out, and he treated the guests to dinner in a serious manner.

Respect is worse than obedience, so Yan Heng had no choice but to follow the rules of the master, picked up the bowl and ate slowly.

Mrs. Su cooked four dishes, and Yan Heng tasted the same with the chopsticks, then put down the bowl and stopped eating.

Seeing this, Zhang Jianshan said: "The food in the mountains is vulgar, isn't it not to the taste of the big master?"

Yan Heng stood up, bowed in embarrassment, and said: "Wending has exceeded the rules today, I hope the master will not blame you. Wen Ding really has a difficult matter today and wants to ask my wife. I wonder if I can invite my lady to meet again?"

Zhang Jianshan said with a smile: "Why not." Then he called Su Lian out again.

Zhang Jianshan said with a smile: "Lian'er, we don't know Yan Dadong's family, so there is no need to be formal today."

"Oh." Su Lian bowed her head in response, and sat down obediently.

She pretended to be a wronged little daughter-in-law, even Zhang Jianshan was amazed, almost forgot how this guy usually jumped up and down at home, and went to the house to expose the tiles.

The last time I saw her, this lady Su's shrewd appearance was still deeply etched in Yan Heng's mind.Such a powerful woman was tamed so submissively by her man, Yan Heng admired Zhang Jianshan even more in his heart.

He still remembered the last time that Mrs. Su wanted to extort ten taels of gold from him, but it was Zhang Jianshan who stopped him, so the little lady obediently gave up.

"Lady, I have something to ask." Yan Heng clasped his hands, "It is said that the chef of my Lumingxuan was also invited from a famous restaurant in the capital, but for some reason, the dishes made here are comparable to my lady's craftsmanship. , suddenly felt dull and tasteless. Where did the lady learn from a teacher?"

Su Lian said indifferently: "Thanks to the love of the big boss. I have never studied with a teacher. These home-cooked dishes are all made by myself for fun. If you want to say that the dishes made by the master chef of this restaurant are bland, that's true. It's a very normal thing.”

Hearing the second half of her sentence, Yan Heng was a little taken aback. "Why did the lady say such a thing?"

Su Lian said: "Your restaurant only receives high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and what the nobles eat in the restaurant is not food, but their status. The chefs naturally have to work a hundred times harder to show the value of the dishes. It only takes half a quarter of an hour to steam a fish , but it takes a quarter of an hour to decorate, and the best tasting time has passed by the time it is served on the table. The food is very simple, and it is to taste its original taste. In order to show off their skills, the masters It is unavoidable to add more steps to the cooking; the more steps are added, the farther the dish will be from the original taste, so it is normal that it does not taste good.”

Zhang Jianshan thought to himself, so it is.When he was young, his family also invited famous chefs, but the dishes they made were not delicious at all. He thought that he was born with no special desire for food, but it turned out that it was because the cooking was too much.
