self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 26

An Zhi originally thought that this girl was here as a display, but when he saw the knife box in An Ran's hand, it was almost piled up. He was also the steward of An Ji Restaurant, so he had some knowledge, not to mention, the old man in the mansion was When I came to Jizhou, I dried my craft here.

The old man hurt his wrist, so he doesn't cook much now, and he only made a dish of cherry meat that time, but this dish of cherry meat has already opened his eyes.

Cherry meat is a serious imperial meal. Don’t look at the name as cherry meat. It has nothing to do with cherries. The half-foot-square pork belly is cooked slowly on low heat until it is fully mature, and then cut into twenty four squares. Use a sharp knife to draw the cross pattern, and you need to draw four grids. Each grid must be the size of a cherry. When it was time to eat, the meat slices opened like four plump cherries.

The old man hurt his hand, this knife is the old man's great apprentice, and now the chef Gao in the mansion does it for him, and the last is the stir-fry sauce, salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, green onion, ginger, of course, red yeast rice must be used, Only in this way will the meat be a purplish cherry color.

Put the 25 pieces of fried cherry-shaped meat into the juice and simmer until the juice is fully absorbed into the meat, take it out and put it neatly on the plate, it is a hundred oily and plump little cherries, Purple red, crisp and fragrant, crystal clear, just looking at it is good luck.

At that time, I was lucky enough to hold the knife box for the old man for a while, and I still remember the portrait of Peng Zu on the knife box, so I recognized it at a glance. The girl was holding the kitchen knife used by the old man. How many times does the Lord go back to the imperial meal guy?

I vaguely heard that the old man recently accepted a girl from the big kitchen as an apprentice, and now the guy is in the hands of this girl, needless to say, this must be the old man's novice apprentice, even willing to give me the kitchen knife that I have been with for a lifetime, it can be seen How rare is this apprentice, the old man is probably more than the two chefs in the house, he has no real skills, how can the old man take a fancy to him, no wonder only sixteen or seventeen girls dare to accept the job of the chef Well, this guy has a bottom line in his heart, and he has goods under his command, so he is not afraid of anything, otherwise, he would just do this three-thread deduction without daring to open his mouth.

After thinking about it, An Zhi immediately changed into a very respectful expression: "Miss, don't blame the little one for being blind and neglecting the girl. I really don't know if it's the girl who came to invite you. Why is the little one holding the dick for you?" He stretched out his hand to pick up An Ran's knife case.

The people watching the excitement around were all dumbfounded, they didn't understand what kind of fanfare the manager was doing, especially Li Dashao, who was 1 unconvinced in his heart, thinking that this girl must not know the details of the deduction, looked at the menu board, and felt This dish looks easy, and you can order it casually. Since his chef is a chef, he is not afraid of An Zhi at all, so he curled his lips: "You have been fooled by this girl, Manager An. She is so old, and it is difficult to know whether she can hold a knife." He said that he dared to open his mouth to make the three-thread button. It’s a joke. If you can’t do it in a while, you’ll be ashamed. I’m afraid it will smash the signboard of our Anji Restaurant.”

An Zhi glared at him, and said to himself, this Li Dashao is really as stupid as a pig, the real Buddha is still yelling nonsense in front of his eyes, and he is just calling the old man's name, even his master, the old grandson, has to be polite and respectful here Dear, don't make any mistakes.

I know the job of a cook, it doesn't seem to be popular, but it is the most important thing to teach seniority, no matter how young this girl is, if she worships the old man as a master, she will be number one among Dayan's top cooks, even the old grandson is unknown As a junior, Li Dashao is even more unworthy.

Thoughtfully pointing to him, An Ran said: "Since we have reached this point, I will make a statement today." Then, he respectfully bowed to the knife box held by An Zhi, and pointed to the statue of Peng Zu on it: "Our chef's patriarch, An Ran swears, if An Ran smashes the signboard of An Kee Restaurant because of me today, An Ran will never cook again from now on."

At An Ran's words, everyone around gasped. Anyone who is a cook knows that this is the most poisonous oath. Don't cooks just rely on cooking for a living? If they can't cook, it means leaving the profession. In other words, An Ran's words are equivalent to, if you can't make a real button three silk today, you won't be a cook from now on, which is equivalent to smashing your own job. For a cook, this is the worst Poisonous oath.

Li Dashao was taken aback, but thought of something, and couldn't help but said: "You women are capable, so what if you can't go to the stove, as long as you can seduce a man, you will have rich clothes and fine food waiting for you."

An Ran turned cold, and looked straight at him: "I respect you as a colleague, so I tolerate you a little bit, but it doesn't mean I can let you insult me, what about women, just standing here, there is no difference between men and women, there are only crafts High and low, you utter slanderous words indiscriminately, could it be that your master taught you like this."

An Ran's words were sonorous and forceful, without the slightest smile on her face, she just stood there with a small stature, and the aura she radiated naturally made the surrounding people bow their heads and dare not speak.

Li Dashao was also intimidated by her aura, and took a step back, but when he thought of saying a few words to a little girl, he was timid, and he was really ashamed, and said stammeringly: "What does this have to do with my master, you Don't worry about it here."

An Ran looked at him very coldly for a while: "Do you think you can be called a cook simply by being able to cook a few dishes? With all due respect, even if you are a successful cook, if you don't learn how to be a human being, you will be a scum among cooks." , I will never become a top chef, if I were your chef, craftsmanship would come second, and I would tell you to be decent, otherwise, your heart will be crooked, and no matter how good your cooking skills are, it won’t help.” As he spoke, he stepped inside.

Li Dashao said a few words to An Ran, a black face that turned red and turned white for a while, very ugly, how could she let her pass by, stretched out her hand to stop her, but was dodged by An Ran, subconsciously withdrew her hand, for some reason, never Fearing this girl, he lowered his hand, realizing that he was saving face, and wanted to stop him, but An Zhi hurriedly stopped him: "Li Dashao, you are deaf, you didn't hear what the girl said, open your blind holes and look at her." Come on, if you are Hu Qin again, don’t blame your uncle Zhi for blocking your stinky mouth with a foot wipe.” Xin said, this pig really doesn’t know what to do, so it’s so cool to squint now , and still want to make do with it, isn't it uncomfortable?

Li Dashao saw that An Zhi's face changed, and he was not angry anymore, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow behind angrily, staring at An Ran, his eyes were right, and he said to himself, I don't believe such a young man. Girl, you can make three-thread buckles.

An Ran ignored Li Dashao, went into the kitchen, looked around, and couldn't help frowning secretly, for the first day, she didn't know any place well, if all the time was spent looking for things, I'm afraid this three-thread button wouldn't be able to be used at the banquet. Finished, this dish takes too much effort, and you can't take any tricks, it depends on the knife skills, you need to concentrate on finely chopping to complete it, although my knife skills are not bad, after all, it is not as good as the big brother, so I can only focus on it, And in this way, a striker is needed.

At this moment, An Ran couldn't help scolding An Zihe secretly. If Defu was around, he wouldn't have cooked this dish. With his comprehension ability, he could remember it by just saying it once. Yes, he still flirted with himself, I really don't know what was going on in his head, or he couldn't digest what he ate early in the morning, he didn't feel happy and didn't want others to be happy, so now he doesn't even have a helper.

She groaned for a while, looked around, and her eyes fell on the boy who brought her a chair and made tea just now. Seeing that he was quite clever, and his hands and feet were also neat, he raised his finger and pointed at him: "Your name is Zhuzi, right? Si's way?"

Zhu Zi was taken aback, not wanting that An Ran would point to him, but he also stammered: "I know, I know, I have seen Chef Sun do it a few times before."

An Ran nodded: "Okay, then come here and help me prepare the side dishes." Zhu Zi's eyes lit up, he had worked so hard to enter the back kitchen of An Ji Restaurant, just to learn the craft, but unfortunately he came here for a short time, He wanted to ask for a master, but Li Dashao was very strict. Usually, he didn't even have the opportunity to show his hospitality to Chef Sun. He was still a handyman after two years, but he didn't want this opportunity to come.

Zhuzi's mind is lively, and his eyesight is not bad. From the beginning to the end, he almost understands it in his heart at the moment. If he doesn't look at anything else, he can see the 180-degree turn of Guanshi An's attitude towards Miss An. Zhuzi knows it , Miss An, I'm afraid she's someone who can't hide her secrets. What's the point of being young? Who stipulates that if you're young, you're not a chef. Besides, if you bet right today, what will you worry about in the future? This opportunity fell from the sky, if I didn't seize it, I would be stupid.

Thinking of this, he completely ignored Li Dashao's gaze that swept over him like a knife, and quickly started to attack An Ran. An Ran looked at him for a while, then nodded secretly. I know that I don’t have to pay less attention. There is a saying that stealing a teacher is better than learning art.

The reason why it is so difficult to buckle three shreds lies in one knife skill. The method is relatively simple. Cook the chicken breast and let it cool, steam the Jinhua ham over high heat, remove the shells and boil the winter bamboo shoots in water for 10 minutes, and then shred the most important thing.

It’s not difficult to shred, but it’s not easy to cut the same length and thickness. Therefore, this dish pays attention to the chef’s knife skills. There are many people in modern times. The top chefs have the best knife skills. Cut to 1999 pieces, each one has the same thickness and length, which can be called uncanny workmanship. An Ran estimated that with the master knife skills, he might be able to reach this level, but his own is not so good.

She thought so, but having the An family's ancestral kitchen knife in hand gave An Ran great confidence. Today was the first time An Ran used this knife. The feeling of not wanting to hold it in the hand is surprisingly good, whether it is the sharpness or weight of the blade, it is very suitable, and the feel is excellent. An Ran even feels that it is more suitable for him than the modern knife that has been with him for more than 20 years. As if it was tailor-made for yourself.This kind of feeling is weird and wondrous, holding it in the hand for a moment, there is a feeling of the unity of the knife and the man. With the guy in hand, the smooth flow of water completed with three threads is too easy.

An Ran himself felt relaxed, but in the eyes of others, it was simply unbelievable. Almost all the people in the back kitchen, whether it was second-class, third-class, cold meat, noodle dishes, or grocery picking, surrounded An Ran for three floors. On the third floor, watching helplessly, the knife in An Ran's hand was in a daze, and she could barely see her hand moving, only the sound of the knife hitting the chopping board was heard, which was unusually regular. The regular sound continued continuously.

When the sound stopped, everyone came back to their senses, looked again, and saw that all the cut silk had been put into the cup, mixed and compacted, added seasoning, An Ran told the pillar to turn on the fire, but seeing that the pillar did not move, he stretched out his hand Going to adjust the fire, Zhu Zi hurriedly picked it up, staring at the fire below seriously, his eyes are not bad, but his heart is very excited like a pot is boiling, this is the chef, I can be regarded as an eye-opener today , As far as this knife skill is concerned, not to mention Li Dashao, even Chef Sun will not be able to do it when he comes back. If I can worship such a master, will my skills be worse? I just don’t know if I have this good fortune.

It took An Zhi a long time to recover from the shock, and he said to himself, it's so strange, if he didn't see the old man's knife box and waited for this one, would he have his own good son in the future? His knife skill is a veritable top chef. To be honest, this kind of culinary skills is too good to be a chef at Anji Restaurant. , seeing Li Dashao still standing stupidly, he didn't get angry. If the words from his stinky mouth just got out, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Thinking of the favor I owed his master, let me help him: "The banquet is about to start, what are you doing here, and you are still not working, don't say I didn't remind you, today Su Tongpan's banquet will be held in the future. The relationship between our Eldest Master and Lord Su, we may come over to offer a birthday wine in a short time, you don’t need me to tell you about our Eldest Man’s temper, if anyone makes a mistake, and the Eldest Man is offended, Don't blame me for not talking about ordinary people, just do what you want, and you will be responsible for life or death."

The people who had been talking for a while coaxed them to disperse, and each went to work. An Ran took the initiative to look around, all of them were frightened, and it was the same in the mansion. That person is a ruthless master, think about it, don't say that these people are just Anji's errands, even I, who have slept with the old man once, can send them down mercilessly, which is enough to show that the old man It's ruthless.

In comparison, An Zihe and this kind of volatile psychotic man are considered good people. This person is really good at comparison, and this comparison immediately distinguishes him. However, An Zihe is not a good person either. , I was completely confused by his masculinity before, so I would associate with him, but now that I think about it, it is nothing new, and I have to stay away from this guy in the future.

What An Ran was thinking about, the buckle has already gone up. In fact, what An Zhi said earlier is that as a chef, he doesn’t have to cook every dish himself. The chef is only on the sidelines to guide and grasp the quality of the dishes.

In modern times, the head chef of a big hotel is quite prestigious, and even the big boss has to be respected. Skill determines status, and it's the same everywhere.

An Ran just came over on secondment, and made a dish of osmanthus fish, a dish of roasted saddle bridge, and a dish of stewed crispy chicken with longan purse, and invited An Zhi to rest in the yard outside.

An Zhi personally poured tea for her: "Miss An, drink tea, drink tea."

An Ran gave him a funny look, knowing that he was apologizing to herself in disguise, so she didn't point it out, took a sip of it, An Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help saying: "You really don't hide it, I heard about it a long time ago. The old man accepted the closed disciple, so it turned out to be a girl, I never thought that it was a girl who came here, if I had known earlier, I would not have neglected the girl."

An Ran laughed and blinked: "How did Manager An ever neglect me, why don't I remember."

An Zhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and laughed: "Yes, I was confused."

She said in her heart, this girl is not ordinary, this clever and tactful girl is not like a little girl who is ignorant of the world at sixteen or seven. A skilled person will be underestimated wherever he goes, and it is reasonable to be clever and tactful.

The two of them didn't explain, if they had established a good relationship with each other, it would be much easier to get along with each other in the future. An Ran had already thought about it, and estimated that he would have to stay for a month after this trip. It is very necessary to have a good relationship with An Zhi, Not to mention counting on him to take care of her, if you don't look up and look down for a month, at least it will be more pleasant.An Ran didn't even think about getting along with An Zi, she was a psycho, if she could get along with the neuro, then she would be abnormal.

Thinking of An Zihe, An Ran suddenly became suspicious, glanced at An Zhi, and said, "There is an important banquet today, that An Zihe, no, the chief manager, isn't he here to watch?"

An Zhi smiled and said: "The chief manager is in charge of our four Anji restaurants in Jizhou Prefecture. It's usually fine, but I really have to get busy and run around, so I can't stay in one place all the time. However, Mrs. Su celebrates her birthday today, sir. I will come to offer birthday wine in a while, not to mention that the chief steward will naturally accompany me."

An Ran nodded, no wonder An Zihe disappeared as soon as she got out of the car, so she really had something to do.

Speaking of Mrs. Su, An Ran couldn't help being a little curious: "Usually when the wives in the mansion celebrate their birthdays, don't they always hold a birthday banquet in the mansion? Why, this Mrs. Su's birthday banquet is held in a restaurant?"

An Ran has no common sense, and knows that women in ancient times did not often go out, especially Mrs. Su, who had status and status, would not go out easily, and when she came out, most of them were invited by the family members of other prefectures, and they also went to other people's homes for dinner In the back house, I have never heard of people who go to restaurants, but those fans in the brothel, the top divas, don't care about face, go to restaurants with men to eat, and listen to operas in the theater, they don't take it seriously.

Besides, if you want to eat restaurant dishes, you don’t necessarily come out. With Mr. Su’s face, it’s not difficult to invite the chef of the restaurant home and tidy up a birthday banquet. I’ve never seen any lady herself He came here to go to the restaurant, so just hearing what An Zhi said, An Ran was very surprised.

An Zhi smiled: "Your words are not bad, but this Mrs. Su is different from others. Although she is now the Mrs. Tongju, she is not very high in terms of background. She was a small businessman in the south at first, and she is not like everyone else. Her father opened a small restaurant that sells food. If you say that this person is really lucky, you should be lucky, and you can't stop it. It is said that it was cold that year, and Mrs. Su and her father watched it get dark. For business, I wanted to close the door early, plan to rest, and didn’t want to be on the door panel. I saw a man wandering over from there, and he passed out when he plopped in front of him. My father and I were kind, so we carried him in and fed him. Bowl of ginger soup, slow down, I heard that I was hungry, so I ordered another bowl of noodles, and saw that this man had nowhere to go, so he took him in. This is Mr. Su now. My father didn't think Mrs. Su was poor, so he betrothed his daughter to Mrs. Su. As soon as he got married, he caught up with the bandits in the south. If you don't think about it, you will make meritorious service, please reward according to your merits and become an official, and after a few years, you will become the judge of our Jizhou Prefecture, and Mrs. Su will become the wife of the judge in one step. Do you think this is fate, because it is in the south Those who sell food don't care about appearance and manners. Our Master Tongpan is also a rough man who practices martial arts. He has a lot of friendship with our third master. When we meet each other, we will practice boxing and kung fu, and we often go to our house for dinner. , I am even more familiar with the old man, and we come and go frequently, and Mrs. Su has such a carefree temper, so she doesn't shy away from it, and this birthday banquet is only held in our Anji Restaurant."

He paused and said in a low voice: "Miss, you haven't seen our Mrs. Su's behavior. She is very big and rough. From a distance, she looks like an old man. If she is strong, she will not be kingly. Give the little one a punch, and the little one's life will be gone. It's our famous tigress in Jizhou Prefecture. He has the worst temper. Last year, he threw a concubine that Mr. Su just took into the pond. , it wasn't Master Su's timing, that little concubine would have drowned."

After hearing this, An Ran really admired this Mrs. Su, her temperament deserves to be appreciated.

An Zhi was quite gossip, and revealed a little secret to An Ran: "Do you think why Mr. Su is so fond of her today? It's because the one raised in the outer house is there. Ask the doctor to take a look and say it's a boy. Mr. Su Now that the year is past thirty, and there is not even a son to inherit the incense, can you not be anxious, Mrs. Su who is coaxed today is happy, and if that one enters the door, this Mr. Su will be considered to have a descendant."

An Ran was stunned, she couldn't think of a birthday banquet, and there was so much filth hidden in private, this Mrs. Su's temperament can be called a hero among women, but unfortunately she is a hero among women, and she can't control her husband's three wives and four concubines, It's easy for couples in need, but it's hard for them to be rich together. I just said that Mr. Su is a good man who never forgets his wife, but he is also so dirty. If you think about making friends with someone like the old man, it's natural that you have similar tastes. How can you be a good person? Poor Mrs. Su was kept in the dark, and she was so happy for nothing. She didn't know how sad she would be when she found out the truth later. This birthday banquet would be better than nothing. sad.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a young man running up ahead, seeing An Zhi, he hurriedly said: "Master An, Master Su has just sent word that Mrs. Su will not have birthday noodles for her birthday, and ask the back kitchen to make a bowl to meet the occasion." Son."

An Zhi nodded: "Understood." After dismissing the boy, An Zhi was about to give orders, but An Ran stood up and said, "Let me do this."

An Zhi was taken aback and hurriedly said, "It's just a bowl of birthday noodles, no need for the labor girl."

An Ran shook her head: "This is my kindness." After thinking for a while, she asked An Zhi again: "Do you know where Mrs. Su's origin is?"

An Zhi: "I've heard of this. It's Suzhou. Speaking of which, there are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, but somehow there are also women like Madam Su who are more masculine than men, but Madam Su has a little bit of the gentleness and gracefulness of Jiangnan women." Son, if you think about it, Mr. Su won't be carrying people home every three days."

An Ran pouted, this has something to do with being gentle or not, Mrs. Su is as beautiful as Xi Shi, if Mrs. Su has the heart, she will still have three wives and four concubines. If a man wants to take a concubine, everything is an excuse.

An Ran makes Yangchun noodles, the most common food in Suzhou. The method is very simple. Cook the noodles in a pot, pick them into a large bowl, blanch the cabbage, put them on the noodles, pour fresh soup, and season with salt. Sprinkle with finely chopped green onions, and a bowl of homemade Yangchun noodles is ready.

An Zhi looked at the extremely simple bowl of Yangchun noodles, and felt a little troubled. He never thought that An Ran made such a simple bowl of birthday noodles, which was a bit shabby, and if he really served it, wouldn't it annoy Madam Su? Deliberately slacking off, wanting someone else to make another bowl, An Ran urged: "Take it up, the batter will get mushy after a while."

An Zhi gave a wry smile, but fortunately she had the face of the old man, so Mrs. Su felt unhappy, and she didn't think she would save some face, so she brought it up herself after thinking about it.

An Ran still drinks tea in the shade of the trees, thinking it would be good to stay here for a month, it is close to the market, and after a while, she can go out for a stroll to see if there is a suitable shop, preferably There is a small courtyard in the back, so that it is just right to do business in the front and live in the back.

An Ran was thinking about it, when she suddenly saw An Zhi rushing in, with a distraught expression on her face: "My aunt, this time I have stabbed a hornet's nest, as for the bowl of noodles you just put in, Madam Su's face turned pale. It’s not good, after staring at the noodles for a long time without saying a word, Mr. Su was furious, and told me to call the cook who made the noodles over, and said that he wanted to ask for a crime.”

An Ran actually smiled.

An Zhi broke out in a cold sweat: "Grandma, you can still laugh. Come on, you go there first, and I'll ask someone to find the chief steward. There is a chief steward anyway. Master Su should show some face."

An Ran's face darkened: "What are you doing with him, don't worry, nothing will happen, if something happens, I won't implicate you, I will do everything by myself, but it's just a bowl of noodles, I can kill my head and go to prison." Said Then he followed the boy behind Anzhi and said, "Take me there."

The boy glanced at An Zhi, saw An Zhi nodded, and led An Ran to the front.

It was really a big deal, but it was just a birthday banquet, but it covered the entire second floor of Anji Restaurant, the largest private room facing the street, which was Madam Su's table. An Ran followed the boy to the door and stopped, thinking about the big Is the master also in there, and what to do if he recognizes me again, I really feel a little uneasy.

After thinking about it again, I don't think so. Although we have a good relationship, Mrs. Su doesn't stick to trifles, and this friend's wife didn't say that it's reasonable to come and join in on her birthday. At most, she just toasted a glass of birthday wine.

Just as he was thinking about it, the boy had already reported that the noodle cook was coming, and a rough and slightly annoyed voice came from inside: "Let him in."

An Ran lowered her head and glanced at herself, it was still clean and tidy, she pushed the door open and walked in, glanced away from the corner of her eye, she couldn't help being stunned, there were only four people in the huge private room, and two servants stood behind, probably they came with the lady , but only one man and one woman were sitting.

The man has a big beard and looks about 30 years old. There is a slanted scar on his black face, which looks a little hideous. He thinks it is Mr. Su, and the woman sitting next to him is a woman in her thirties, unlike what An Zhi said. As exaggerated as she is, she is stronger than ordinary women, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her skin is not white, but wheat-colored.

This is the most popular skin color in modern times. An Ran used to be extremely greedy. She spent several days under ultraviolet light for this. Later, she heard that it caused cancer, so she gave up the idea. After all, health is more important than smug beauty, so this Madam Su even She can't be called a beauty, and she can't be called an ugly one. It is estimated that people here love petite women with fair skin, so that Mrs. Su's bodybuilding type is not flattering.

Obviously, she didn't expect that it was a pretty little girl who came in. An Ran was very sensitive to discover that Master Su, who was still full of anger just now, after seeing him, his face softened obviously, and his eyes also seemed to fall on him. , I couldn't help cursing the pervert, blinding such a lady with personality for nothing.

Mrs. Su, however, was obviously out of shape. She never raised her head when she came in from Anran, and kept staring at the bowl of Yangchun noodles on the table. Mrs. Su glanced at her sideways, and coughed: "Today is my wife's birthday, and I should have a bowl of birthday noodles." What are you doing here?"

An Ran was not afraid, and said calmly: "I make Yangchun noodles."

As soon as An Ran's words came out, An Zihe's voice came from outside: "Something has delayed me for a while, Mrs. Su's toast to this cup of birthday wine is late, Master Su, don't blame me." The door of the private room opened, and two people came in. personal.

Mrs. Su hurriedly stood up, An Ran glanced at the two people from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help becoming nervous. Just now An Zhike said that Mrs. Su's birthday banquet, the Elder is bound to come to toast a cup of birthday wine, the Elder will also toast, An Zi and He is the big steward of the restaurant, so of course he can't escape. Of the two people who came in, one is An Zihe, and the other has to be guessed.

Thinking of the incident between herself and this old man, An Ran was really afraid that he would recognize her. She didn't want to have anything to do with this scumbag, so she hurriedly stood aside, lowering her head even lower. But he looked at it from the corner of his eye.

An Zihe was still wearing the same clothes that he had in the morning, but compared to his black face just now, his face was flushed now. He didn't know if he was drunk or happy, and he exchanged warm greetings with Mr. Su. , impeccable, An Ran is really convinced, this guy really has a good mouth.

A man next to him looks to be about the same age as An Zihe, wearing a moon-white silk shirt and a swastika turban on his head. His appearance is beyond An Ran's expectations. His facial features are not as handsome as An Zihe's, but he has an unspeakable elegance. , but there is no expression, cold and indifferent, it seems a little difficult to get along with.

An Ran said in her heart, it really is that sentence, even animals can't write it on her face, just look at this person, even if An Ran is killed, she won't be associated with any legendary old man, and don't blame her previous life. Climbing the bed schemingly, this old man's appearance is indeed not bad. Originally, the old man in An Ran's mind has always been the kind of dirty man with a fat head and a lecherous face. Who would have thought that it would be like this.

Suddenly meeting An Zihe's gaze, An Ran lowered her head a little, she didn't want to look at him, but she heard An Zi and said: "Madam celebrates her birthday today, I would like to offer Madam a cup of birthday wine, I hope Madam will be as old as today There is the present." Then, the elder next to him also toasted the birthday wine, and then they took their seats.

An Zihe glanced at An Ran seemingly unintentionally, pretending to have just recognized him: "Isn't this the chef who just came here? Why didn't he come to the front instead of the back chef? Could it be that he wants to cook some novel dishes on the spot."

Master Su was taken aback: "Is this girl a chef?"

An Zihe nodded with a smile: "Master Su probably doesn't know yet, the old man in our mansion has a new apprentice, she is her, Mr. Su, don't look at her young age, she is not bad at workmanship, why is she here with Mr. Su? "

Mr. Su hurriedly said: "I don't know if it's Mr. Zheng's high-achieving apprentice, some misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this side is very good, very good."

An Ran couldn't help laughing secretly, it seems that his master's name is quite useful, this Mr. Su immediately changed his attitude when he heard his master's name, and suddenly heard An Zi say: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, since it was a misunderstanding, Mr. An What is the cook still doing here?"

An Ran naturally heard that An Zihe had come to rescue her, and turned to leave, but Madam Su said, "Wait a minute."

An Ran had no choice but to stand still, feeling that Mrs. Su's gaze was not sharp but rather gentle, but also a little unknown sad: "Your bowl of Yangchun noodles is indeed very good, it reminds me of the old things back then. My father and I, my father and daughter, opened a small restaurant in our hometown and sold food to make ends meet. What we sell is Yangchun noodles. Don’t look down on it, but it’s enough to make ends meet, and it also supported our husband and wife. Later, when the master became an official and became rich, I have tasted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but now that I think about it, the Yangchun noodles from my hometown are the most delicious."

Looking sideways at her husband: "People outside said that my family opened a restaurant in the south, so the master ordered so many exquisite dishes, but he didn't know that what I wanted most in my heart was just a bowl of the simplest dish. It’s just Yangchun noodles, now that I think about it, even though life was more difficult in the past, it makes me miss it more than it does now, sometimes I think it would be nice if I could go back.”

As she spoke, she stood up slowly, looked at her husband and smiled sadly: "If you don't have an empress, you have already committed the seven crimes. Didn't the master want to bring the outside one in? Why bother so much, just say a word for your wife and let me go!" How can you embarrass the master, just ask for a letter of divorce from the master for his wife, leave your Su mansion, go back to your hometown and set up a stall selling Yangchun noodles, it is quite comfortable."
