Chapter 204 Goodbye Master Miao

Hanging up the phone, Chen Ran thought that since Yang Long was going to celebrate his birthday, he could only go to Zhongdu once. It had been so long, and it was time to go. After all, when he left, he told Master Miao that It's only a few days away, and it's been more than a week now. I'll go to Zhongdu to settle things, so I can calm down and do my own thing.

"Brother, are you up yet..."

A sudden knock on the door woke Chen Ran up. It was already past seven o'clock, and it was Chen Xiaowen who knocked on the door.

Chen Xiaowen goes to school in the city, and now he comes back once a week, but although he comes back once a week, every time he returns home now, he feels that there have been great changes in his home, not to mention the changes in his home, even His life at school has also undergone earth-shaking changes now.

Although Li Yuzhi was still restricting his living expenses, when he got home, the small money that Chen Ping gave him from time to time almost covered his previous month's living expenses.With money, he naturally has all the things he wanted to buy before, and he often treats his classmates to a high-end meal. In this way, his status in front of his classmates will naturally rise. Those classmates with rich families used to look down on him, but now they also take the initiative to talk to him, and the tone of their speech is different from before... These changes have brought about a great change in his whole mental outlook, not only becoming More confident and brighter.

Chen Xiaowen knew that whether it was his own changes or the changes in his family, all of these came from his elder brother, so he admired his elder brother very much.

But this time when he came back and heard that his brother had made tens of millions in Huadu, he was surprised and at the same time made him admire his brother even more, so that he was so energetic that he didn't sleep late. Then he ran to Chen Ran's room.

"Brother, did you carve all these jade objects?"

Chen Xiaowen walked in with a smile, saw a pile of jade wares on the table, and walked over, lovingly 'touching' this 'touch' and 'touching' that one.

"Well, yes, you can play with it..." Chen Ran tidied up his things and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Although the jade materials of these jade wares are not very good, there are also many middle-grade materials. After Chen Ran's carving, they are still very exquisite. Hearing that Chen Ran said that he can use them casually, Chen Xiaowen was naturally very happy. Picked several pieces.

In addition to the ones he picked for himself, he also picked a few for his close classmates. At the end of the selection, he even brought over Chen Xiaomei who was going to school. , started bickering directly, and quarreled and quarreled with Li Yuzhi. As a result, both of them were cleaned up, and the jade wares they had chosen were also confiscated. Both of them were depressed.

After Chen Ran finished washing, he looked at the little thing and found that the little thing was still sleeping. Chen Xiaomei knelt down and 'touched' it, but it just opened its eyes and tilted Chen Xiaomei's side, then closed it again and whimpered. It fell asleep, and Chen Xiaomei thought it was sick. Chen Ran naturally knew what was going on, so he ignored it, and three or four people went downstairs noisily.

While eating breakfast, Chen Ran said that he would go to Zhongdu, and Chen Xiaowen wanted to go with him, but Li Yuzhi cleaned up the meal again, and he was so angry that he didn't even eat, and sat on the sidelines sulk stand up.

It's no big deal for Chen Ran to go to Zhongdu, so it's okay to let him follow, but Li Yuzhi won't let him go, so he can only give up. Chen Xiaomei still has to go to school, so she can't even go if she wants to. Looking depressed, Chen Ran comforted the two of them, saying that they would calm down after taking them out on vacation.

After dinner, Chen Ran called Guo Hai and told about Yang Long's birthday, but Guo Hai said that he really couldn't leave. In the past few days, Chen Ping and he had already chosen the location of the restaurant. I'm busy with the renovation, and I have other things to do besides the decoration, let alone a trip to Zhongdu, I almost don't have time for a meal at home.

If Guo Hai couldn't go, Chen Ran also left for Zhongdu alone.

The little thing has been sleeping, feeding it, but not eating, so Chen Ran left it at home.

Before nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Ran left Bishui in his car and headed for Zhongdu.On the road, the sky was not beautiful, and it rained heavily, and there was strong wind and lightning. Chen Ran didn't dare to drive too fast, and it took him five or six hours to reach Zhongdu.

When we arrived in Zhongdu, the heavy rain gradually stopped, but the weather was very stuffy, as if a storm might come at any time, which made people feel suffocated unconsciously.

When Yang Long and Chen Ran called, they told him to call him when Chen Ran arrived, so Chen Ran took out his phone and called him as soon as he arrived in Zhongdu.

Yang Long said on the phone that he asked Chen Ran to go directly to him, but Chen Ran saw that it was still early and planned to go to Master Miao's place first, so he told Yang Long to go there in the evening.

Parking the car at the intersection, Chen Ran entered the alley. While walking, he couldn't help wondering what kind of person Master Miao was, and why Du Du looked at him differently.

These two questions have undoubtedly been entangled in his mind for a long time, but he has never been able to answer them. He also asked Master Miao, but Master Miao didn't answer him, and went straight to what he should do.

Gao Qiang once introduced Master Miao to him. He said that Master Miao’s family has been cooking for generations and has a very long history. In the 90s, Master Miao was favored by an old general and invited to the capital. He was injured and his right leg became lame, so he returned to his ancestral homeland.

Chen Ran really didn't know much about Master Miao. He only knew that the food cooked by Master Miao was absolutely first-rate. exaggerate.

Chen Ran also thought about whether Master Miao might have something to do with his grandfather's family. After all, his grandfather was also a cook, but when he was at home this time, he asked his parents about Master Miao, but whether it was Neither Chen Ping nor Li Yuzhi had heard of it.

While thinking, Chen Ran walked, and soon came to the gate of Master Miao's courtyard, but the gate was closed.

"Bang bang..."

Looking up at the gloomy weather, Chen Ran stood at the door and knocked on the door.

"Who is..."

With a creaking sound, the courtyard door was opened with a gap, revealing a head, but this person was not Master Miao, but a young man wearing a white chef's hat.

"You are here for dinner, no, there is no food." The young man looked at Chen Ran, and before Chen Ran could open his mouth, he said such a sentence, and after he finished speaking, he was about to close the door.

"and many more……"

Although Chen Ran was a little surprised that there was suddenly another person in Master Miao's room, he stopped him quickly: "I'm not here to eat, is Master Miao here?"

"Uncle doesn't see any guests, you'd better go." Hearing that Chen Ran came to see Master Miao, the young man refused to let Chen Ran in, but just as he was about to close the door, a hoarse voice came over : "Xiaotao, let him in."

Hearing Master Miao's voice, Chen Ran hurriedly squeezed in. When he came in, he saw the vicissitudes of life standing in the yard, still wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a hat from the period of the Republic of China. Standing there is like a pole erected.

Chen Ran looked at Master Miao, and Master Miao raised the brim of his hat with his right hand, revealing a pair of eyes, and also looked at Chen Ran.

"Master Miao." The two looked at each other, and Chen Ran nodded and greeted.

"Come in."

Master Miao left a word, turned around and walked into the house.

Chen Ran followed. He used to eat in the yard, but this was the first time he entered the house.Both Master Miao and Chen Ran entered the house, and the young man followed behind, but it was very strange, and he was not to blame for being strange, but his uncle's temper was very strange. When other people came, if they said they were looking for his uncle Well, his uncle will definitely not see him, but the young man in front of him is an exception, not only letting him in, but also letting him into the house.

Master Miao's room is very simple, except for a cabinet and a table, there is nothing in the main hall.

"Sit down and wait."

Master Miao's words were still so simple. Knowing Master Miao's temper, Chen Ran was not polite, nodded and sat down directly.The young man, that is, Miao Hongtao was standing at the door and looking at Chen Ran strangely, but Master Miao suddenly called him into the kitchen.

Chen Ran was also a little hungry at this time. After all, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, Master Miao didn't keep him waiting. Not long after, he brought him a bowl of chestnut rice and a pig's trotter. A small pot of mandarin fish soup, as well as vinegared cabbage, Master Miao's three specialty dishes, none of which are missing.

"Don't rush to eat, stand up."

When Chen Ran was about to move his chopsticks, Master Miao suddenly said.

Chen Ran was taken aback, although it was a bit strange, but he stood up immediately. After he stood up, Master Miao walked up behind him, stretched out his hands on his arms, legs, shoulders, back, and neck. Pinch it.

Master Miao's actions made Chen Ran a little puzzled, and when Master Miao pinched it, there was finally a slight change on his expressionless face, as if he was a little surprised and puzzled.

What made Master Miao puzzled was nothing but Chen Ran's body.The "medicine" soup that Master Miao gave Chen Ran was indeed for Chen Ran to recuperate his body. The medicine'prescription actually came from the court of the Qing Dynasty.

The ancestor of the Miao family who served as the imperial cook in the Qing court once met an imperial doctor who was also a folk legend. During Kangxi's private visit, he was injured once and was rescued by this imperial doctor. An imperial doctor was born in a family of medicine and medicine, but the family declined later. This person is also very strange. He was born in a family of medicine and medicine, but he can neither diagnose pulse nor acupuncture and moxibustion. He only knows medicine soup method.

As the saying goes, no matter it is a white cat or a black cat, if it catches mice, it is a good cat. Kangxi didn't care whether he could diagnose the pulse or not, so he took him directly to the palace and served as an imperial doctor, specializing in Royal descendants condition their bodies.

The culinary skills handed down by the Miao family belong to the line of dietary therapy, and they are also used to regulate the body. In modern times, the ancestors of the Miao family and the imperial doctor are competitors. No one agrees with anyone, but secretly they cherish each other.

When Yongzheng ascended the throne, the entire imperial court was purged, not only the foreign ministers were purged, but also the court was purged, the imperial doctor was also caught in it, and before he died, the imperial doctor gave his family's medicine The method of soup was passed on to the ancestors of the Miao family, and later became the method of "medicine" soup passed down by the Miao family.

Although this kind of "medicine" soup therapy can't achieve the legendary effect of washing meridians and cutting veins, it can lay a good foundation for the human body. In fact, there are many such health preservation methods in China. Athletes use similar health-preserving methods to regulate their bodies. After all, they are often injured. The body cannot be strengthened by exercising more, but also by being able to maintain health.

Of course, among these domestic health preservation methods, the effects are also different, and the Miao family's method of 'medicine' soup is also a very good one.

Master Miao had recuperated Chen Ran's body for less than a month, but he checked Chen Ran's body just now, and found that Chen Ran's body was much stronger than the last time he saw Chen Ran, which surprised him Not small.

During this period of time, Chen Ran has not only been practicing weird dances, but also used the energy aperture to recuperate his body, how can he not get better.

"Eat, don't rush to leave after eating."

Master Miao left a word and turned back into the house.

Chen Ran didn't feel strange either, he was already used to Master Miao's appearance, and after Master Miao left, he couldn't wait to start eating.It had been a long time since he had eaten the meal cooked by Master Miao, and he was already hungry, so he ate very deliciously, eating three bowls of chestnut rice in one go.

"come in."

After Chen Ran finished eating, Master Miao stood at the door of the inner room and greeted Chen Ran.
