self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 60

Gold and jade carp?Several bosses present at the scene looked at An Ran in unison, all of them were stunned, and after a long while Cui Fucai said tremblingly: "Miss, do you really want to make this golden and jade carp?"

An Ran nodded: "As His Royal Highness said, it would be a pity if the ten catty perch was cooked in other ways. Now is the time when the perch is plump and the meat is delicious. Over-cooking is not good. The fish sticks are delicious."

The bosses naturally agree with An Ran's words, but what she wants to do is gold and jade?
Seeing the reactions of these people, Yue Jintang was puzzled and raised his eyebrows: "What? Is there anything wrong with this gold and jade?"

Cui Fu: "May I ask if the prince has ever eaten this dish?"

Yue Jintang was stunned for a moment: "You say that, it's true, this king has never eaten this dish, I only read it in the book, and said how delicious it is." He couldn't help being quite dissatisfied, pointing at them: "You said You, such a good thing, how come no one gave me a taste, coauthored it, and fooled me with messy things."

Cui Fuxin said, every time you come, you order the dishes yourself, who dares to fool His Royal Highness, you are looking for death, but you dare not tell the difference, just said: "It's not that you can't serve it, it's because this dish has long been lost. It’s big, but no one knows how to make it, not to mention the golden and jade fish dish, even the fish cake, few cooks dare to try it now.”

Yue Jintang felt even more strange: "Why?"

Cui Fu glanced at An Ran: "I don't want to hide it from my lord, this fish stick is fresh, after a little delay, the taste goes away and it smells fishy, ​​so how can it be called fish stick, besides, the chef's knife skills are extremely demanding Gao, let’s not talk about the fish cooking technique, just say that the fish sticks need to be sliced ​​thinner than paper. What’s more, no one knows how to cook this golden carp. A superb dish of dishes."

Yue Jintang nodded: "It's the good fortune of the world's diners." Looking at An Ran: "I said Chef An, you really know how to cook, don't fool me."

An Ran didn't bother to talk to him: "If the prince doesn't believe in An Ran, you can go back to your other courtyard first."

Yue Jintang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Believe me, anyone who doesn't believe in Chef An, I have to believe it too. So, this king is lucky today, so hurry up, this king has been on the boat for half a month, and the stomach The oil and water are almost gone, so it is just right to make the tooth-tasting ceremony first after this fish meat dish."

Not to mention An Ran, even the bosses headed by Cui Fu want to give him a supercilious look. Who would believe that there is no oil and water for a chef who is guarding him every day? Yandu is famous, and it's still half a month old, so I guess I can't live without good food for a day.

The road from the ferry to Songyue Tower took half an hour, and in this half an hour, by the time An Ran and his party arrived at Songyue Tower, the city of Suzhou had already exploded.

In the kitchen shop, rumors spread from ten to ten, and in less than half an hour, the whole Suzhou city knew about An Ran's business of making gold and jade.

There are many officials from the south of the Yangtze River. Apart from their knowledge, these famous officials all have a common problem. They are greedy, especially the top-level delicacies such as the legendary golden carp and jade carp, which are only recorded in books. If you miss it, you will not regret it. His intestines are all green.

Moreover, these people know best, according to the records in the book, this dish is not only delicious, but also highly appreciative, just imagining it, can't help drooling.

To say that the most prestigious and prestigious official in the south of the Yangtze River is Mr. Mingyue who lives in seclusion in Suzhou. His surname is Lu and his name is Pu.

When the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River, he personally visited the door, and besides discussing knowledge, he also consulted the world and the people, and gained a lot. Later, he praised him, his heart is like a bright moon that does not stain the dust, and since then, he has been called Mr. Mingyue.

He has a lot of friendship with Mr. Mei, and has also met An Ran's master Mr. Zheng several times. Originally, before he came here, the master specially asked him to visit Mr. Mingyue.

Now that An Ran is going to do the gold and jade carcass, there is a lot of rumors, there is no need for An Ran to visit, the old man has already come to Songyue Tower first.

Dayan has treated famous officials and scholars a lot since the first emperor, what's more, this Mr. Mingyue is the leader of the famous officials in the south of the Yangtze River, even Yue Jintang didn't dare to neglect. Said: "Sir, well."

Mr. Mingyue was very polite: "Lu Pu has met the king of Xiaoyao County."

We greeted each other and sat down.

An Ran stepped forward to pay respects: "An Ran greeted Mr. Mei. Mr. Mei said that Mr. Mei had traveled all over the world and knew a lot about folk customs and food in various places. An Ran was about to make a proper settlement, so she went to pay a visit, but she didn't want Mr. to come to Songyue Tower first."

Mr. Mingyue sized up this girl, since he lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, he was used to seeing beauties, so he secretly praised her in his heart, such a beauty is really rare to see.

In particular, the beauty of this girl is even more different from others. Jiangnan is a famous and prosperous place of smoke and willows. There are many beauties. Wu Nong speaks softly, with a soft waist and full eyebrows. Just like this intoxicating spring scenery in Jiangnan, so are the beauties in Jiangnan Intoxicating, far from being comparable to other places, even the few famous beauties in the capital are somewhat eclipsed in the south of the Yangtze River.

But this little girl surprised even an old man once. There were not many pearls on her head, and her bun was extremely simple. The bright red silk flower on her sideburns made her fair little face even more beautiful. The eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and the jewelry on the whole body is the bluestone pendant by the ear, and the silver bracelet on the wrist that is not very finely crafted.

But just like this, there is a kind of beauty like a green lotus out of water, it looks so clean and clear, with a slight smile, and clear eyes, although beautiful, it does not feel unattainable, on the contrary, it is gentle and amiable. Can't help liking it.

He stroked his beard and nodded: "How is Mr. Mei these days?"

An Ran smiled and said: "As long as you are accompanied by delicious food every day, it is the best for Mr. Mei."

Mr. Mingyue laughed: "This old man is still so greedy."

In a word, the bosses next to me were a little embarrassed, and said to themselves, you are always greedy, what are you doing here in a hurry.

An Ran originally wanted to ask Mei Da to come over to greet Mr. Mingyue, but she didn't want to, after a while, she was gone, and she didn't know where she went. She was about to call Gouzi to look for her, but she heard Cui Fu say: "Dare to ask Miss, What ingredients are used to make this dish of golden and jade carp?"

When he said a word, there was a sudden silence around him. This is something that everyone wants to know. The few famous officials who followed Mr. Mingyue were out of curiosity and wanted to know how the famous dishes mentioned repeatedly in this book were made.The fish is easy to understand, what is this golden scorpion?
And those owners are even more anxious, they are all insiders, basically, once they know the ingredients and how to make this dish, they will almost know how to make it. If they can really bring this lost classic dish to their restaurants Selling is a living sign to make money, who doesn't want to know, so everyone listens with all ears.

An Ran naturally understood what they were thinking, and had no intention of hiding anything. She smiled and called Gou Zi over. This time when she came to Jiangnan, the two young apprentices clamored to follow. Gouzi came, this kid learned the unique skill of knife making from the senior brother, and the skill of turning spoons from the second senior brother. Although he has not been apprenticed to the teacher for long, he has benefited a lot, and he can do well as an assistant to An Ran in the kitchen.

An Ran also wanted him to learn more, so she brought him here, just because of this, the dog fell asleep in the middle of the night with excitement, and was still giggling by himself, scaring his mother into thinking she was crazy, and then let him go Heart.

After finally getting this opportunity, I will naturally behave well. When the master called, I rushed over and listened carefully.

An Ran thought for a while and told the dog: "Prepare in a while, garlic, ginger, salt, white plum, orange peel, cooked chestnut meat, stalked rice, mash these seven ingredients and mix them with balsamic vinegar." Then he asked Cui Fu: " Dare to ask senior, does Songyuelou have mustard seeds, horseradish, wasabi?"

Cui Fu was stunned: "Mustard seeds are ready, but what are the horseradish and wasabi that the girl said?"

But Mr. Mingyue nodded and said: "It's really a little tricky, don't you want to make mustard sauce, the old man read this method in an ancient cookbook, I planted some in my yard, I wanted to try to make it, but always It doesn’t taste right, could it be that you know how to do it?”

An Ran nodded.

Mr. Mingyue's eyes lit up, and he ordered the little boy behind him to go back quickly to get some wasabi and horseradish, and the little boy followed suit.

Mr. Mingyue looked at An Ran for a long while: "You girl really has some knowledge, but this fish meat is most concerned with knife skills. Cooks with poor knife skills dare not try it lightly. Are you really sure?"

Seeing that the old man kept doubting the master, Gouzi was not happy, and pouted his lips and said, "Sir, what you said, my master's knife skills are very good. In Qizhou, it doesn't take a stick of incense to cut a chicken." The bones come out, and the eyes are still blindfolded, who can compare with my master."

An Ran hastily shouted: "Gouzi, sir, you have forgotten the rules."

Gouzi hurriedly bowed: "Gouzi is rude, sir, don't blame me."

Mr. Mingyue laughed, looked at An Ran and said: "You little apprentice is very good at teaching." He said to Gouzi: "These have become storytelling jokes, how could I not know, only those storytellers have something to say Ten, the old man has not witnessed it with his own eyes, so he is a little worried."

Gouzi raised his head, and said with great certainty: "Sir, after seeing my master's knife skills for a while, he knew those storytellers, but this time they really didn't talk nonsense."

Mr. Mingyue laughed: "That's it, this old man has seen and seen, how is your master's ability compared to your master's ancestor?"

Gouzi raised his chest and said, "You can keep it up." Everyone present laughed.

An Ran shook her head, her two disciples are petty, they don't want others to say that they are not good at all, this kind of maintenance is heartwarming, but where did Mei Da go?
Because there are so many people coming, no matter how big the Songyue Tower is, it can’t attract so many distinguished guests. Fortunately, the place in front of the Songyue Tower is big, and it is facing a bend of clear water. Now the spring is warm, and the green willows beside the water are like smoke. , Two peach blossoms are in full bloom, and a tree of peach blossoms of different shades is gathered, which is better than the house.

In addition, there are a lot of people watching the excitement outside, including those in the kitchen and ordinary people. If Anran's golden and jade fish can be made, it will be a living advertisement of Songyuelou. It's not that easy, and it's not easy to do it in one fell swoop, so Cui Fu asked the waiter to put the table outside.

Just now she said that she wanted to set up a stove, but An Ran stopped her, and said with a smile: "This dish doesn't use fire, it would be best if it had ice."

"Yes." Cui Fuying hurriedly called the waiter to fetch ice, trying his best to get what An Ran wanted.

After a while, I took out the ice, but it was a big piece and put it on the table, occupying half of the table.

Cui Fu looked at An Ran carefully: "I wonder if this much is enough?"

An Ran nodded, and saw Gouzi bring over a tray, which contained a bowl of golden sauce, ordered some with chopsticks, tasted it, nodded, Mr. Mingyue's boy also brought wasabi and horseradish, and There was mustard sent by Songyuelou, so I told Gouzi the method in detail and asked him to tinker with it.

This kind of sauce doesn't have too much technical content, as long as the method is right, it will be almost the same when it is mixed, but Mr. Mingyue followed and looked at the dog with great interest.

When Gouzi prepared the mustard sauce, he couldn't wait to taste it first. He burst into tears, but he said it was so refreshing. Even the common people watching the fun found it funny and laughed one after another.

But Mr. Mingyue didn't take it seriously, and walked over and said: "The sauce is ready, you girl should do it too. Let us experience this legendary golden carp."

An Ran smiled and nodded. When Cui Fu heard this, he hurriedly asked the men to carry out the fish. The ten-jin perch was put in a big tank, and it took four men to carry it out.

An Ran took a look with her head, and couldn't help but secretly wondered that such a big wild perch has long been extinct in modern times, and most of the ones sold in modern restaurants are farmed. If you want to eat real wild perch, you have to make an appointment with those fishermen in advance. , not necessarily. A real gourmet can tell whether it is wild or farmed in one bite. The taste is different, and the freshness of the meat is also different.

The highly developed modern farming industry has caused the taste of many ingredients to change, and the real gourmet delicacy has become unattainable, and overcooking sometimes makes these rare and good ingredients mediocre.

An Ran always believes that the biggest feature and strength of southern cuisine is the irreplaceable ingredients. Because of the warm climate and beautiful mountains and rivers, the products in the south of the Yangtze River are extremely rich. Seasonal vegetables, delicacies, and fish are all unique. Therefore, southern cuisine pursues the original taste, and what you eat is fresh.

Coupled with the profound cultural heritage, southern cuisine is like a bright pearl, attracting the attention of diners all over the world, and is sought after by countless literati. Even, southern cuisine often appears in imperial cuisine dishes.

In short, multiple reasons have created the reputation of southern cuisine, and today, An Ran cooks a famous dish that pays attention to the most authentic taste.

An Ran touched the ice cubes on the table, stretched out her hand, and said two words: "Chef's knife." Gou Zi hurriedly opened the knife box, holding the kitchen knife over with both hands.

As soon as they saw this kitchen knife, the people around began to whisper: "This, this is Mr. Zheng's knife, I have seen it before. A few years ago, Mr. Zheng went south with Mr. Long Live. I have seen Mr. Zheng's knife box, and now it is in Miss An hand."

"It goes without saying, taking in an apprentice with such ability as Ms. An, it is natural to pass on the mantle..."

"How do you know that you have the ability? I don't think the rumors are necessarily true. The storyteller's mouth is not accurate. If he doesn't say it, who will listen to him? Look at how old this girl is, at most sixteen Seven, it's not easy to learn to be a cook, you can't learn it in one or two years, not to mention such a top chef, even a cook in an ordinary restaurant, you can't do it without more than ten years..."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Otherwise, how can you spread it so well..."

"Okay, okay, stop beeping, you'll know if you just look at it, hey, didn't you make fish sticks, why did you attack the ice cubes on the table..."

Not only these spectators, but also the dozen or so masters present here didn't have much faith in An Ran's craftsmanship. Seeing An Ran pick up the kitchen knife, they stared at each of them with wide eyes, thinking that she was definitely going to kill the fish, but they didn't think so. I went with the ice on the table.

Everyone's faces were a little disappointed, but after a while, their eyes widened again, but there was a tendency to open them wider and wider. Even if it wasn't a piece of fish, the knife skills of this man were indeed amazing.

Yue Jintang's eyes were straightened, this girl really surprised people from time to time, this fish cake had already shocked the whole audience, such slender hands, holding the kitchen knife must be difficult, but look It was so easy and incomparable that she could hardly see how she slashed the knife, but felt the light of the knife flashing non-stop, and when she put away the knife, take another look.

Yue Jintang couldn't close his mouth anymore, the messy ice just disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a perch, its body was tilted up, as if it was about to jump out of the water, and there were rough waves underneath, and even the lines on the fish's fins could be clearly seen Although it is an ice sculpture, it does not feel stiff at all, the lines are smooth and vivid, and the fallen ice is piled up under the body of the fish. I saw the girl slide it with the back of the knife, and it became a natural ice tray.

Everyone has not regained their senses from the ice sculpture, just listen to the flutter, there is already a several feet long perch on the chopping board, remove the scales, remove the internal organs, grab the head of the fish and roll it out in the clean water, the fish has been washed The blood stains on the body, after the head was removed, it was cut open against the fishbone...

Next, there will be a visual feast that will never be forgotten by the people present. With the kitchen knife lightly held by the jade hand, the fish meat will be finely chopped. When the blade falls down, there will be a snow-white fish stick. , piled on crushed ice.

An Ran put away the knife and handed it to Gouzi, Gouzi took the kitchen knife with starry eyes, wiped it carefully, and then put it away, excited and proud, this is his master, so amazing, thinking about it, he couldn’t help but look at Mr. Mingyue, secretly said, I want you to see my master's knife skills, and see if you are convinced.

An Ran waved her slender hand: "Everyone, please taste this dish of golden and jade."

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and warm applause erupted around them, one after another. At this time, no amount of language is superfluous. Only the palms that have hurt can express their feelings. What is a chef, this is a chef. .

The common people looked at the excitement, but the old cooks in the kitchen were secretly ashamed, how old he is, and he has studied as a cook for several years, not to mention his knowledge, his knife skills are not comparable to himself.

It's okay to say other things, but this knife skill is not a trick, it is practiced day by day, so if I am not as good as others, it is definitely because I have not done enough.

The young eyes are shining brightly, thinking that if one day I can be so beautiful, this life will be worth it.

Mr. Mingyue and Yue Jintang walked over with small dishes of dipping sauce in their hands, Yue Jintang's was golden sauce, and Mr. Yue's was mustard sauce.

When the two walked over, a gust of wind happened to blow by, and dots of peach blossoms of different shades fell on the snow-white fish cakes, and some light pink peach blossoms were placed on the snow-white fish cakes. Blowing up, red skin and white skin, shockingly beautiful, even the most beautiful lady in the world does not have such a color.

The two caught a piece of fish sticks and narrowed their eyes.

After a while, Yue Jintang said: "The ice melts at the entrance, there are really such fresh and beautiful things in the world, this king really has a lot of good taste today..." He took another slice.

Mr. Mei, however, is much more elegant, shaking his head and said: "No wonder there was a poem written by Lay Qinglian that day, Hu'er brushed a few frost blades, and the red flesh blossomed into white snow. Let's have a meal for the king, drunk with the golden whip Get on the horse and return. This is the veritable golden carp and jade carp, such a delicacy, the ancients will not deceive me."

More than a dozen hosts rushed forward and began to taste in a hurry.

Feeling a gloomy gaze falling on her, An Ran couldn't help turning her head, and saw an obscene looking man in a gray robe, with a pair of triangular eyes gloomyly looking at her, met her gaze, and disappeared in a split second. trace.

An Ran couldn't help frowning, and heard Mei Da's voice next to her ear: "What are you looking at?"

An Ran shook her head, looked at him sideways, and couldn't help complaining: "Where have you been for so long, I can't find you."

Mei Da chuckled lightly: "I asked the manager of the shop to find a small yard for us. I'll go over and have a look first. If it's not good, I'll find another place to stay as soon as possible, so as not to wrong my wife."

An Ran's heart warmed up, but she couldn't help giving him a blank look: "As you said, I'm so difficult to serve, I'm not a rich lady, I'm just a handyman in An's mansion, I can't bear hardships, I just need a place to sleep. It's done."

Mei Da shook her head: "In my heart, Madam is much more expensive than the daughters of those families."

An Ran blushed, took a sneak peek around, and saw that everyone was eating fish sticks around the table, and didn't notice the couple, so she was relieved. She was too embarrassed to be too close to Mei Da in the public, and moved a little to the side One step, but Mei said regretfully: "It's too late, and I haven't even tasted the fish cake made by my wife."

An Ran glanced at the people who gathered to eat fish cakes, and said in a low voice: "I'll make it for you when I get home. In fact, this fish cake is not very rare, but it's just a gimmick, and it's great when dipped in mustard sauce."

Feeling a little tired on her face, Mei Da felt distressed for a while: "Having been on the boat for half a month, I had no rest right after landing. I also made this fish stick, so go back and rest."

Seeing that everyone was immersed in delicious food, An Ran probably wouldn't think of himself as a cook for a while, just in time, so as not to deal with the next thing, Dong Cui's family of Songyuelou held a banquet to welcome the wind, and they had their own Yue Jintang, thinking of this, they turned and walked away with Mei Da up.

By the time the people present recovered from the deliciousness of the fish cakes and the visual shock just now, the young couple had long since disappeared.

Cui Fu hurriedly grabbed the man and asked, "Where is the man, Miss An, why is it gone?"

The guy hurriedly said: "When my boss was eating fish sticks, Miss An left, and went with a man named Mei Da."

Cui Fu was stunned. When An Ran got married, there was a long street banquet in Qizhou City. Everyone in the kitchen knew about it. Naturally, they knew about her marrying Mei Da. In order to be respectful, even the surnames should be named after her husband's surname and changed to a certain surname, but in their kitchen business, An Ran's status has nothing to do with her husband's family.

The status in the kitchen industry depends on the craftsmanship, so as long as someone in the kitchen industry knows that An Ran is married, but still calls her Miss An, it is a respect for her and an affirmation of her status in the kitchen industry. Her husband, Mei Da, basically ignored her.Unexpectedly, both An Ran and his wife came.

Seeing his expression, Yue Jintang said coolly: "If it weren't for Mrs. Su's friendship with An Ran, and Tanhua Lang had helped this girl, the young couple wouldn't bother with your business. You are a newlywed, even if It's coming, can it still be taken apart, naturally the couple are together, don't look for it, I know where they are staying, just prepare yours, on the day of the competition, she will naturally come to Songyue Tower, as for the others At that time, it's better not to bother the young couple, so as not to attract people's hatred."

Cui Fu looked embarrassed: "Well, I want to ask Chef An for advice on this golden and jade dish."

Yue Jintang glanced at him, and said unceremoniously: "This sounds fresh. When this girl did it just now, we were all watching. The king is a layman and just watched the excitement. The bosses are all Expert, I have read this once, don’t you know how to do it, I, an amateur, can understand it.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and said to themselves, as an expert, I don't understand, but His Highness the Duke of the County does.

Cui Fu: "In that case, I would like to ask Your Highness for advice."

The fan in Yue Jintang's hand shook: "I see two things, quick hands and superb knife skills, quick hands can ensure the freshness of fish meat, and fine knife skills can make fish slices as thin as a cicada's wings. What's so difficult about fish sticks?"

Everyone turned their backs one after another, not daring to offend the lord, they really disdain in their hearts, isn't this nonsense, who doesn't know fast hands and superb knife skills, the question is how to practice such knife skills.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Yue Jintang also felt that what he said was too simple, and there was one thing he didn't say in his heart, that is, the most important thing in cooking this dish is that the cook must be a beauty.

Just at this moment, think about that girl just now with white wrists like snow, fingers like spring onions, and under the knife is a fish fillet as white as cicada wings. It can be called the most beautiful.

Speaking of this, the envy, jealousy and hatred for An Jiamu reached a new height, and some malicious thoughts suddenly arose in my heart. Looking back, the couple broke up the other day, could I take advantage of this opportunity and kill this girl? If you go to your own palace, you can't touch your friend's woman, but it's also comfortable to look at. What's more, with such a good cooking skill, won't you lose your honey pot in the future?

With this thought in mind, thinking of An Jiamu's temper, he couldn't help but shiver, An Jiamu is not easy to mess with, don't look at his little wife's 1 reluctance, soft-hearted can't do it, but it's not good for others The heart is black and the hands are ruthless.

In particular, this guy is now obsessed with his daughter-in-law. He looks at it like this every day, worrying about gains and losses. He is afraid that others will snatch it away. If he knows his own thoughts, it will be fine. Come on, it's not so bad now.

Suddenly came up with an idea, should I find a woman and have a child, one is a successor, and the other is to have a son by myself. It's okay for a girl to get it. My mother's craftsmanship is so good, can my girl be worse?If I can get a daughter-in-law with good craftsmanship, I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life, but it's a big problem to find a woman to live with...

Suddenly I heard Mr. Mingyue say: "Originally, the old man didn't believe the rumors outside, but now that he has seen this golden and jade fish, I have to say that those rumors are really worthy of the name. This girl is not very old, but her cooking skills have been invited by Lan Sheng. Yu Lan."

As he said that, he looked at Cui Fu: "If Songyuelou can invite this girl as a helper, the chances of winning are much greater, but Wang Pinrong's cooking skills, I have seen it once before, it is really not bad, and this person is insidious and cunning , I see this girl is an upright person, if Wang Pinrong is serious about cooking, I don't have to worry about it, I'm afraid she will use some tricks, and this girl showed her hand today, I'm afraid it has already spread to Wang Pinrong's ears , you should be on guard." Turning around to leave.

Yue Jintang hurriedly said: "Sir, please go slowly, if the day of the competition, sir can be there..."

Before Yue Jintang could finish speaking, Mr. Mingyue laughed: "Just focus on An Ran's culinary skills, it would be a pity if I missed it, but I really want to see what other famous dishes this girl can make that amazes me. "Leave the words and laugh and leave.

Yue Jintang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Cui Fu: "Mr. Mingyue is the head of the famous officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Only Mr. is willing to come to be the judge. With this king in charge, the fairness of this culinary competition should be guaranteed. As for winning or losing, it depends. Let's take care of Chef's skills."

After seeing An Ran's culinary skills, Cui Fu is now full of confidence, and said with a flushed face: "Don't worry, Your Highness, with Miss An's cooking skills, Wang Pinrong can't win, we Songyuelou will definitely win."

One sentence made Yue Jintang amused: "You're so energetic now, it's not the time to mutter, don't think that this king doesn't know, you got such a fish just because you want to try that girl's skills."

Cui Fu chuckled: "Miss An is too young and pretty, no matter how she looks like someone in our kitchen, I'm suspicious."

Yue Jintang glanced at the cooks around him, and couldn't help laughing: "Your words are true. It can be seen that your kitchen is full of oil and water, and everyone eats fat heads and big ears. This girl is an odd number, but this is the only way to see it." Boss, if it's all you cooks with big faces and thick necks, no matter how well they cook, it's just a dish, this girl is different, I look at it, it's more beautiful than your Jiangnan scenery." Shaking Walking away step by step and shaking the golden fan.

After leaving the Songyue Tower, the guards came up and asked, "Master, are you going back to another courtyard?"

Yue Jintang rolled his eyes at him: "Go back to the other courtyard and cook for me."

The guard rubbed his nose: "Well, the lord wants to go to the old man, right? Just now, I saw that the man of the old man pulled the luggage over. I guess it's still packed now. I'm afraid it's not right for the lord to go there."

"What's wrong? His house was bought 800 years ago. When we were still in Qizhou Prefecture, we probably cleaned up eight houses here. What else can we clean up? Besides, there are so many people, It's still useless to ask him to clean it up personally, coaxing his wife back, thinking about who doesn't know what."

The guard's black face turned red: "So, wouldn't it be more inappropriate for the prince to go."

Yue Jintang was amused: "No matter how talented he is, An Jiamu, he should have finished all his troubles when we arrive. Don't worry, this guy is hurting his little wife to death now. He just got off the boat, and even if he's troubled, he will keep his sex Son, what's more, he didn't eat the golden carp and jade carp at Songyue Tower today, his wife will definitely prepare the food tonight, so it would be a pity to miss it." He said and got into the car.

They followed the guards and looked at each other, even they could see that the young couple was annoying their lord to death, but the lord could pretend not to know with a thick-skinned face, so that they, the guards, saw each other now Everyone couldn't hold their heads up.

But thinking about the dishes made by Chef An, I understood the prince. After all, compared with his face, Chef An's craftsmanship is much more valuable. In Qizhou, the dishes made by Chef An himself are hard to find.

Moreover, during the past half month on the boat, they have followed the lord for a lot of good food. Even the most common pasta has become different after Chef An's hands. What is a chef? The one who can make everyone amazed, and who can make the simplest home-cooked dishes extremely delicious, this is the real chef.

An Ran didn't know that after getting off the boat, Yue Jintang was still lingering, thinking about running to grab a meal, she was really tired at the moment, even though Yue Jintang's boat was comfortable, it was different from the one on land, this stay was half a day After a month, the soles of my feet were still a little wobbly when I came back with Meida. In addition, I made such an energy-intensive dish just now. I fell asleep under the quilt.

In her opinion, as long as Mei Da is by his side, anywhere is fine, and she trusts him completely and unconditionally.

Mei Da was still a little charming at first, but when she saw how tired the little daughter-in-law was, she didn't want to bother her, and helped her adjust a comfortable sleeping position, pulled up the brocade quilt, and remembered that she was outside the Songyue Tower just now. She acted like a fish, and reached out to touch her face. This face was so beautiful just now that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Feeling a little sour in my heart, I whispered: "I really want to hide you from those people." Then he sighed: "You girl, I really don't want you to worry about it. Taiping, so I lived with my master for a few years, men farming and women weaving, but I don’t know when this kitchen business will be peaceful, and whether you will blame me for lying to you, I am getting more and more afraid."

Just as he was talking, An Ran suddenly mumbled something in his sleep: "Brother Mei, I will make you some silver rolls tonight."

Mei Da was stunned, couldn't help laughing, and nodded her little mouth: "I heard that, I'm waiting for you to make it for me tonight."

Suddenly I heard the servant's voice from outside the window: "My lord, the king of Xiaoyao County is here."

Mei Da frowned, this guy was addicted to food, he just arrived in Suzhou, before he was settled, he ran over, combed his daughter-in-law's sideburns, put down the curtain, and came to the front with a gloomy face.

As soon as he saw Yue Jintang, he snorted: "Is the lord too busy, why don't you stay in the other courtyard, and come to the humble house?"

Yue Jintang acted as if he hadn't seen his face, and laughed aloud: "Although my other courtyard is big, it is far less exquisite than yours. Moreover, when King Gomoto came, he could see a few sneaky boys outside. The people outside the courtyard wall are poking around, maybe they are Wang Pinrong's people, trying to deal with your daughter-in-law."

He said and glanced inside: "What's the matter, can I lend you my king's bodyguard?"

A stern look flashed in Mei's big eyes: "You should keep the prince's guards for yourself."

He snorted inwardly, he was afraid that if those people didn't make a move, if they dared to make a move, Wang Pinrong would teach him a lesson, knowing who he can't mess with...
