self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 70

Liu Yicai had just left the Governor's Mansion. He looked around, fearing that others would notice him, so he sneaked into a small alley next to him, thinking of taking a shortcut to get out of the city.I don't want to, as soon as I turned into the alley, I was hit on the back of the head, my eyes went dark, and I didn't know anything.

When he woke up, he found himself hanging naked on a tree, surrounded by many people, most of the women avoided him, but those men pointed and pointed at him with great interest, talking a lot.

He was stunned, and said to himself, who would be so hard on himself, to clean himself up like this, seeing more and more people below, not only a little anxious, but after a while, he realized that the tree he was hanging on was right by the city gate Come on, people who come and go now, as long as they enter the city, they have to beat themselves, this person has lost a lot.

She put her face down and begged: "All the folks and elders, I was robbed by gangsters and hung up here. Whoever kindly put me down will have a big thank you."

Those people listened to it, but none of them came forward. Liu Yicai went in without knowing it, thinking that they saw that he had no clothes and luggage, and he was afraid that they would not benefit him, so he hurriedly said: "I have money at home, who put me down? Come back with me to get the silver, and never break your promise."

But an old man came over and whispered: "I advise you to stop shouting, you just want to kill yourself, who dares to let you down, look down yourself, what is written on your body?"

Liu Yicai was startled, and hurriedly looked down, and saw that there were several characters from his chest to his stomach, but he was illiterate, so it was useless to read, so he hurriedly asked, "Old man, if you can read, can you read it to me?" listen?"

The old man shook his head: "The old man can't say the words so embarrassing."

There was a ten-year-old boy next to him, who jumped out: "Grandpa, grandpa, I know these words, and I read them to him. It says, I slept with Shangguan Yao. Who is Shangguan Yao? It's your wife." Is it your son's name?"

Liu Yicai's eyes darkened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The old man scolded: "What nonsense, hurry home." He dragged his little grandson away.

Those around me who just couldn't understand heard it now, and the discussion became even more joyful: "Who is this Shangguan Yao? Do you know? Could it be a sister from a kiln? This is jealousy, and someone tied it up and hung it up." Eyes on the tree?

You are really ignorant, even Shangguan Yao doesn’t know, this is not a girl from a kiln, but a daughter of the governor’s mansion, she looks bad, and has a savage temper, running outside all day, not a safe person My master, the queen mother just issued an order a few days ago to give marriage to Ning Wang as a side concubine, and she is waiting to choose a good day to pass the door. Oh, this kid is amazing, how could he have such a good fortune, but give Ning Wang Qiansui wore a green turban.

What Yanfu?This is not knowing death, you don't even think about it, who is King Ning, he is the royal family, the brother of Long Live Lord, even if he is not a mother, he is also the son of the late emperor, but he has become a living bastard, so he can bear this useless Are you angry, not to mention the lord, it is Lao Tzu, if the wife of the family dares to cheat, I will kill the adulterer first, and then the husband will kill the prostitute to express his anger. "

Everyone nodded: "But, but, who is this kid? How dare he have such courage?

You don't know him, but I do know that he is the cook of the Governor's Mansion. I saw him when Wang Pinrong competed with Chef An in Songyuelou before. He is Wang Pinrong's apprentice. His name is Liu Yicai. Wang Pinrong is now Death row, waiting to be executed in autumn, no, he hooked up with the lady of the governor's mansion, and he was happy. "

Just as he was talking, he saw a group of officers and soldiers galloping over there on horseback. The man at the head had a bearded black face and a mighty official uniform. Someone yelled: "The governor is here?"

Hurrah, the people who watched the excitement dispersed immediately. This joke in the Governor's Mansion is not good. Although Liu Yicai has been hanging here for a long time, it is estimated that the entire Suzhou city knows about this matter, but the Governor-General did not catch the current situation. I tried to silence them, but I couldn't find anyone, but they bumped into each other, maybe, the governor took them into prison in a fit of anger.

Thinking about it this way, who would dare to stay? One foot is faster than the other. When Shangguanyi arrived in front of him, none of the people who had been surrounded by the third floor and the third floor to watch the fun were left, until they reached the city gate cave. It was very quiet, not even a single person was seen, even the businessmen around were busy closing their stalls and closing their doors, for fear of getting involved in this matter.

Shangguan Yi was so angry that he couldn't even vent it, his ears were buzzing with anger, why did he raise such a shameless daughter, the dignified daughter of the governor's mansion, who actually had an affair with a cook? It is well known that he did such a scandal without leaving the cabinet.

Today, I am discussing the date of marriage with His Highness Prince Ning at Prince Ning’s Mansion. Although the Empress Dowager bestows the marriage, she is a side concubine. To put it bluntly, she is still a concubine. She is no match for a serious princess. I don’t need to go back to Beijing to pay a big gift, so I just choose a good day in Suzhou That's it.

Although she is a side concubine, King Ning has not yet married the main concubine, and her own daughter does not have to be under others for the time being, but she is at ease. It's not too difficult to get a man in one fell swoop, and it's not too difficult to get a small part in the future.

With this thought in mind, he didn't care whether he was a concubine or not. He didn't want to, it was a good day to be discussed, and the servants of Prince Ning's mansion rushed in and whispered in King Ning's ear.

King Ning's unattractive face suddenly became even uglier, and he cast a gloomy look at Shangguan Yi: "You should find someone else for the governor's daughter, this king can't bear it, this king is going to play his mother's queen today. That's the end of the marriage."

Shangguan Yi hurriedly said: "Why?"

King Ning snorted: "Ask your dear daughter." He walked away.

Shangguan Yi came out of Prince Ning's mansion with a depressed expression on his face, and saw that the manager of the mansion was waiting with big men. Seeing him, he hurried over and said, "Master, Master is not well. I don't know who the cook Liu Yicai in our mansion is. He stripped off his clothes and hung them on a tree at the gate of the city."

Shangguanyi frowned: "It's just a cook, what does it have to do with me?"

Manager: "It can be heard that Liu Yicai has writing on his body."

Shangguanyi looked at him: "What word?"

"Small ones don't dare to say."

"Say, there is nothing you dare not."

The manager gritted his teeth: "It is written on Liu Yicai that he is asleep, asleep, Shangguan, Shangguan Yao..."

As soon as the manager's words came out of his mouth, Shangguanyi was furious, and the whip in his hand snapped off: "Presumptuous."

The manager hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die..."

Shangguanyi's face was extremely gloomy, no wonder King Ning wanted to cancel the marriage, it was Yao'er who did such a scandalous thing, got on the horse and brought people to the city gate.

Seeing Liu Yicai's wretched appearance, Shangguanyi became even more angry. Without even thinking about it, he pulled out the treasured knife from his waist and cut it off. Liu Yicai's head fell to the ground and rolled to the base of the wall. Underneath, you can still clearly see the fear in both eyes, and the blood spurts all over the ground, which is shocking.

The manager next to him wanted to stop him and hurriedly said: "Even if Liu Yicai deserves to die, my lord, it's not appropriate for you to cut off his head in the street, especially since Yue Jintang, the king of Xiaoyao County, is in Suzhou now. Big trouble."

After killing this man, his anger dissipated a little, and his rationality returned. Shangguanyi also knew that he was impulsive, and killing people in the street would inevitably give others a excuse, but how could he bear this tone, and snorted coldly: "I just killed one It’s no big deal for a cook who intends to poison this official, you will take this official’s post later, go to the prefect’s yamen, and explain this matter to Jia Dairen, that’s all.”

Putting down his words, he got on his horse and galloped away. After entering the governor's mansion, he rushed to Shangguan Yao's courtyard. Seeing the master coming, the two maids hurriedly saluted, but were kicked aside by Shangguan Yi with a sound of hatred. Said: "Tie up all the slaves in this yard and beat them to death."

She went straight into the room, Shangguan Yao's face turned pale with fright, she tried her best to gather herself together: "Why is Daddy here..."

Before he finished speaking, he received a heavy slap on the head: "You, you did a good deed."

Shangguan Yao was slapped and fell to the ground, covering her face and looking at the furious Shangguan Yi in horror, suddenly heard ghosts crying and howling in the courtyard, mixed with the sound of slapping boards, she seemed to understand a little bit in her heart.

Although Shangguan Yao was stupid, she knew at this time that her father was so angry that her relationship with Liu Yicai was exposed, and she quickly changed her mind. Did not catch.

Thinking of this, he burst into tears, crying and saying: "Where did daddy hear some gossip, so he came to beat my daughter, even if my daughter did something wrong, daddy said it directly, so that my daughter would understand Correction, if you hit me as soon as you come up, don't be wronged to death, my daughter hasn't even left the house recently, how could she do something to make dad angry..."

Shangguanyi stared at her for a long time, and saw that she was frank and frank, not pretending to be her own daughter, so he wondered if he had wronged her, after all, he did not see it with his own eyes, and the reason why Liu Yicai was written The words were hung on the gate of the city, and it was obvious that they were coming for themselves.

Perhaps it was because Yao'er and King Ning's marriage was overwhelmed that they made up such rumors, no, who is so bold?Dare to go against him so blatantly, this is Jiangnan, his own territory.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but scrutinize her daughter. When she saw this, she suddenly became angry. As a person who has been there, how could she fail to see the difference between this place and a woman? Today's Yao'er has an unspeakable charming charm in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. This appearance is obviously broken, but he still wants to use words to coax himself.

Feeling even more angry, he raised his hand and slapped again. Shangguan Yi was a military commander, and he was already very strong, but he was so angry that he slapped Shangguan Yao out of the air. I saw Shangguan Yao covering her stomach and screaming, a puddle of blood flowed out from under her skirt.

Shangguanyi's head buzzed, so he didn't understand anymore, and now he also knew that it was a sign of miscarriage. Since miscarriage, it means that she and Liu Yicai had a private relationship, and it was not a day or two that his daughter did such a scandal , spread the word, tell him where to put this old face, and now this old face is all lost.

Stand up, don't look at Shangguan Yao anymore, turn around and walk away, see the women and girls in the yard, suddenly get angry from it, and said in a hateful voice: "Beat me to death, and find some other suitable women to come over and show me Miss, except for three meals a day, no one is allowed to come in, if anyone in the house mentions this, they will be killed immediately."

The manager couldn't help but shivered a bit, and said in his heart that it would be difficult to be an errand in the Governor's Mansion from now on.

Even though Shangguanyi didn't let the people in the mansion mention it, he killed Liu Yicai in the street, but many people watched him, plus the words on Liu Yicai's stomach, King Ning's resignation, how can this series of gossip be covered up, but just a day There was an uproar in Suzhou City.

The majestic daughter of the governor's mansion hooked up with a cook, and Shangguan Yao's reputation was completely rotten. Shangguan Yi was helpless, so he was busy finding a small official under his command, packed up Shangguan Yao and married her out. Said that the three media and six hired, even the wine was not served, just a sedan chair was carried over to finish the job.

Moreover, as soon as they got married, they procrastinated and transferred to other places to take up the post, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.

Thinking of this, Yue Jintang couldn't help sighing, although Shangguan Yao did something wrong, seriously, it was Shangguan Yi who taught his daughters no way, only cared about his own career, and ignored his own daughter, so that he became such an ignorant Unruly temper.

Let's be more unruly, with Shangguanyi's name protecting him, he wouldn't end up like this, but he went to provoke An Ran. Master, the only one who can make An Jiamu suffer in this world is that girl who suffers, Shangguan Yao has to touch this thunder, will it be alright?

An Jiamu vented all his grievances on Shangguanyao. No wonder, he said that he would treat him in his own way. Shangguanyao sent a letter to expose his identity, so that the husband and wife were at odds. Immediately arrested Liu Yicai, exposed the adulterous relationship between the two, and made it known to everyone.

In this way, without him taking action, Shangguan Yao's life is over, and all of this is for An Ran, but this girl doesn't know anything, she hides in this Chongyuan Temple, tinkering with her vegetarian food, but she doesn't know that the entire city of Suzhou is because of her. Turned upside down.

As for the instigator, An Jiamu, with a flattering face, he came up to help from time to time, picking beans for a while, grinding soybean milk for a while, and chopping firewood when he was fine, with an honest and honest face, trying his best to please his wife .

An Ran is now getting more and more out of touch with An Jiamu. This guy is so thick-skinned that it makes people speechless. It is useless to ignore him. He will take the initiative to come over and have nothing to do with you. If you ignore him, he will talk about him. Taking the opportunity, I will make up for it, express my sincerity and so on.

An Ran feels that he is now more like a combination of Mei Da and An Jiamu. After living in Chongyuan Temple for more than a month, he has completely combined Mei Da and An Jiamu. Even she can't tell the difference. Like Mei Da, but sometimes it's An Jiamu.

However, having his help saves me a lot of trouble. An Ran is making tofu, and the summer is over, and it will be the beginning of autumn, which is a good time to marinate fermented bean curd.

I learned the method from the crazy monk in Taoli Village, but I have never tried it, so I just tried it here. If it is done, it can be used as a vegetarian stuffing or eaten alone, and it is also a rare delicacy.

However, it is not easy to make. You need to make tofu and squeeze it into dried tofu, spread it evenly with flying salt, leave it overnight, cut it into small pieces, and after drying it in the sun, boil it in a pot and put it in a sieve to dry it. , soaked in the sauce overnight, washed and dried, and finally mixed with soy sauce, fermented wine, pepper noodles, red yeast rice powder, mixed into the urn, tied with flowers, sealed with mud, edible for a few days, if marinated one month, the taste is better.

An Ran is currently smearing the dried tofu with salt, and when the smearing is done, Mei Da covers it with gauze and puts it on the shelf next to it, the two of them cooperate very well.

Yue Jintang looked around for a long time, curious: "What is this for?"

An Ran replied: "Tofu curd."

Yue Jintang was even more confused, but he knew that what came out of An Ran's hands must be good things, so he hurriedly said, "Leave some for me later." Knowing that An Ran's cooking depends on his preferences, he doesn't make too much every time, if he doesn't Book in advance, and when it's done, there's nothing wrong with you.

Mei Da gave him a disgusted look: "The prince is really idle, running to the temple every day."

Yue Jintang gave him a meaningful look, it wasn't because he had messed up Shangguan Yao's marriage with King Ning, Shangguan Yi wouldn't come looking for him every other day.

I don't know what Shangguanyi's fantasies are, probably because he thinks that King Ning is unreliable, and wants to find a way out of self-protection from himself, what did he do so early?When Shangguan Yi was first transferred to Jiangnan, I reminded him several times that although he was greedy for money in Guangdong and Guangxi, as long as he was the governor in Jiangnan, the emperor looked at the queen mother, and if he was not sure, he would let him go. He is a size.

But what did Shangguanyi do, not to mention the silver for the two Huaihe rivers, even the money for the disaster relief from the court, and secretly communicated with King Ning, if An Jiamu hadn't messed up, Shangguanyi would have become a King Ning's father-in-law.

An Ran pickled the tofu, and seeing Yue Jintang's expression, she knew that she had something to ask An Jiamu, so she washed her hands and went to the monk chef of Chongyuan Temple to ask Su Zhai for advice.

After she left, Yue Jintang said: "You are really ruthless. Shangguan Yao has been ruined all her life. Speaking of which, isn't it just such a trivial matter, as for killing them all?"

An Jiamu looked at him with raised eyebrows: "If we really kill them all, ten Shangguanyao's lives will not be enough, and they can still marry well. You know your cousin's nature better than me. With her hatred for An Ran, she will definitely try to murder her. An Ran, there is no one who can harm someone for a thousand days and defend against them for a thousand days, so I also feel that it will cause future troubles."

Yue Jintang: "Forget it, what's the future trouble, after this incident, her temperament should be restrained, besides, she married far away, and she will be like this for the rest of her life, there is no chance of murdering your wife, but , I have something to tell you from the prophet, your daughter-in-law is now famous far and wide, and it has already reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor asked about An Ran in a letter a few days ago."

An Jiamu frowned.

Yue Jintang: "Anran's current reputation cannot be hidden, not to mention, Han Zizhang's matter will need to be settled sooner or later."

An Jiamu: "I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't want to punish Han Zizhang, but wants to completely remove the influence of the queen mother and King Ning. Han Zizhang is not even a minion, but, Han Zizhang is the queen mother's person, so the emperor will do nothing." The method will not do anything to the Queen Mother, if you break this pawn because of An Ran, I am afraid that you will be angry."

Yue Jintang laughed instead: "Although you, An Jiamu, are not an official in the court, your An family's business is spread all over Dayan. An Ran is no longer a little girl with no background. She is your wife, An Jiamu, who is married by Mingmei, so the empress dowager will never forget her." Dissatisfied, what can I do with your wife who settled down.

Moreover, Mr. Zheng lost to Han Zizhang five years ago and broke his wrist. An Ran has inherited the mantle of Mr. Zheng, and it is also the duty of an apprentice to seek justice for his master.

Besides, besides her, who else in this kitchen can win over Han Zizhang, Han Zizhang's cooking skills are not like Wang Pinrong's, he is really capable. "

An Jiamu stared at him: "Why do I feel that you seem to be looking forward to it?"

Yue Jintang chuckled twice: "I'm not the only one looking forward to it, I'm afraid the whole kitchen business is waiting for your daughter-in-law to compete with Han Zizhang in cooking. Think about Han Zizhang's cooking skills, and then think about your daughter-in-law's ability , this competition is definitely more exciting than Qizhou and Songyuelou, to tell you the truth, I also want to see what other skills this girl has not shown."

An Jiamu is different from Yue Jintang. No matter how good his friendship with him is, Yue Jintang is still an outsider and won't put himself in An Ran's shoes. Maybe it's like what he said, what would the Queen Mother do to Mrs. An?
But the empress dowager was able to stand out from the many concubines on the premise that the first emperor loved and respected the empress dowager deeply, and her methods were absolutely extraordinary. If she really hated An Ran, it would be a big trouble, and she had to think of a way to deal with it. become.

An Ran found that since Yue Jintang left, An Jiamu had been frowning for the past few days with a worried look on her face, An Ran couldn't help secretly guessing, maybe something happened, it must be something big that made him worry so much, He also thought that if even An Jiamu couldn't solve the problem, he would not be able to help him, so he simply threw it away and went about his own business.

As autumn approached, there were not so many mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains. An Ran thought that while the weather was still warm, she would pick more and dry them in the sun, and prepare them for cooking in winter. It would be best to make soup.

He went up the mountain early in the morning, and every time An Ran went up the mountain, An Jiamu would always follow, at first it was far away, then it was not too close, and now he followed An Ran.

This man is well versed in the principle of step-by-step, devouring what he eats, which makes An Ran feel angry.

An Ran has almost forgotten now, what is she angry about?After the anger of being deceived at that time dissipated, I actually felt that it was not a big deal. Just like what the man said, Mei Da is An Jiamu, An Jiamu is also Mei Da, and being Mei Da's wife is also An Jiamu wife.

Going around the old man, I became husband and wife with him after all, perhaps, this is also a kind of fate, in short, this man always has the ability to make big things small and small things small.

In fact, An Ran knew that she was not angry with him anymore, and the reason why she still ignored him was because of unwillingness in her heart, she was not willing to just forgive him like this.Watching him do this, watching him act with his eyes, gave An Ran a strange sense of satisfaction.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt that something was entangled on her feet. At first An Ran thought it was a shrub vine, but An Jiamu said in a low voice, "Don't move."

An Ran looked down and saw a yellow-flowered snake wrapped around her ankle, she couldn't help but turn pale with fright, she still cared about An Jiamu's words, subconsciously raised her foot, and the snake head biting An Ran's calf At the same time, An Jiamu had torn the snake into several pieces.

An Jiamu half-kneeled on the ground, and quickly took off her shoes and socks, revealing the snakebite wound, An Ran's face turned pale, but the wound had turned black after a while, showing the severe toxicity.

An Ran couldn't help being a little scared, you know, this is not the modern age, there is no snake venom serum, she is likely to die, if she dies, An Jiamu may be relieved, don't need to entangle with herself, and continue to go back to his suave old master.

But she didn't want to die, and she didn't want him to be the original An Jiamu. He was Mei Da, her lover, her husband, and the father of her child in the future, why should he let it go to others.

Thinking of this, he suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar: "I'm dead, and you are not allowed to marry someone else."

An Jiamu was taken aback, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he leaned over and kissed her on the mouth: "My wife can't die." Then, he lifted her leg up, and sucked the poisoned blood one mouthful until the black The blood was completely sucked out before it stopped.

He took out a medicine box from his bosom and opened it, picked some ointment and applied it on the wound, tore off his shirt and wrapped it up for her, squatted down in front of An Ran, and let him come up.

An Ran obediently lay on his back, and An Jiamu carried her down the mountain, feeling that the little daughter-in-law was obedient and obedient, An Jiamu raised her mouth slightly, and looked at the venomous snake beside him that he had torn into several pieces, maybe she should thank it , it's not it, I don't know how long this girl will continue to fight with her.

After returning to Chongyuan Temple and putting An Ran on the couch, An Ran found that his lips were a little pale, and his complexion also had a layer of blackness, she couldn't help being startled: "Aren't you poisoned?"

"It's okay..." As soon as the words were finished, the person had already fallen to the ground, An Ran was terrified, and hurriedly called for someone.

Chongyuan Temple didn't have a doctor, so they had to ask someone to carry An Jiamu into the car and drive back to Cuiyuan. Gouzi didn't go to invite a doctor, but called An Jiashu.

Only then did An Ran know that An Jiashu knew medical skills, so she felt her pulse, took out a pill and hydrated it for An Jiamu, and took a pill herself.

Then An Ran stared intently until he saw that the blackness on An Jiamu's face had faded and his complexion had improved, but he still refused to look away, for fear that he wouldn't be able to wake up in a blink of an eye.

An Ran now regrets and fears in her heart, why do people only realize the importance of the people around them after life and death, compared with life and death, what is he lying to himself?
Moreover, this is already the second time he has saved himself. In a critical moment, this man would always rush over without hesitation, but he still cares about how he lied to him, isn't it ridiculous.

An Jiashu was full of anger at first, and the elder brother pretended to be Mei Da, after all, it was because of this girl. If she didn't hate the elder brother so much in the first place, why should the elder brother suffer such a crime? up.

The woman in the mansion was sent away, and the business was ignored, and she accompanied her every day to protect her. She went to Qizhou, and the elder brother followed to Qizhou. She came to Jiangnan, and the elder brother followed to Jiangnan. Does she know how difficult it is for elder brother, but she still blames elder brother for lying to her.

I wanted to ask her a few words, but seeing her like this, I couldn't bear to say anything. What's more, he and the second brother respected the elder brother since childhood, and the elder brother supported the family. Without the elder brother, there would be no them. As long as the elder brother married back , is their sister-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so she must not lose her courtesy.

Thinking of this, Wei Wei took a step back, and said respectfully: "Brother, it's okay, sister-in-law, don't worry."

An Ran was stunned for a moment, and had to look at An Jiashu, even at this moment, the sound of sister-in-law made her feel extremely awkward, as if she was in her late [-]s.

Especially An Jiashu's respectful demeanor is completely different from him in Jizhou, An Ran only now remembered that he treated him like this during the wedding banquet in Qizhou.

It's just that I didn't know the secret at the time, and felt that he was a little weird, thinking about it back then.He regarded himself as his sister-in-law.

An Ran never thought that she and An Jiashu would become uncles and sisters-in-law, and she didn't know how to face it. When she was at a loss, she found that her hand was being grabbed, and she hurriedly looked at the bed, and she was overjoyed: "You're awake, but you still feel Where is it uncomfortable, Sanlao, uh, Jia, Jiashu is here, let Jiashu show you again." He was about to stand up, but An Jiamu grabbed him: "It's okay, don't go."

After all, An Jiashu was here, An Ran blushed, An Jiamu's eyes flicked across her blushing face, and she couldn't help laughing, knowing in her heart that she really didn't care about it, and she was lying to her, so she was really relieved After taking a sip, he stopped embarrassing her and let go.

An Ran glanced out the window, seeing that it was noon, she stood up and said, "I'm going to cook."

An Jiamu: "I hurt my leg, I'd better take a rest, and it's the same if I ask the servants to do it."

An Ran shook her head: "You have sucked out the poison, plus Jiashu's medicine is quite useful, so it's not going to be a problem for a long time." She said and glanced at Jiashu: "What does the third brother like to eat?"

An Ran was so generous, but An Jiashu was a little squeamish: "Sister-in-law just cooks something to eat."

An Ran nodded, and when she entered the kitchen, she remembered that when An Jiashu was in Anfu, An Jiashu seemed to like crispy dishes, for this reason, she even made sesame seed cakes for him.

Thinking of these things now, An Ran really has an indescribable feeling, but she also thinks of a dish, crispy pork tenderloin, which An Jiashu would like. She turned her head and saw the bamboo basket from the morning next to it. The mushrooms stepped on it were still there. It must be a dog. son brought it back.

When I made Bazhen Arhat noodles last time, I didn't leave it for An Jiamu because of his righteousness. Now that I think about it, I feel a little nauseous.

After thinking about it for a while, it would be too much waste, and if it was too little, I was afraid it would be too shabby. It doesn't matter if I'm just my husband and wife. It's the first time I'm eating in Cuiyuan in a serious manner with my uncle. My sister-in-law must treat me well. .

According to An Jiashu's taste, I made four dishes and one soup, two staple dishes, the four dishes were golden lionfish, crispy pork tenderloin, egg mushroom, and finally a stewed wild bamboo shoot in oil, a mountain mushroom soup, the staple food Bazhen Arhat Noodles and Jade Shrimp Dumplings.

Gouzi couldn’t be more excited. Since the master went to Chongyuan Temple, it’s rare to see the master cooking big dishes, either grinding tofu, making fermented bean curd, or making some pasta and vegetarian food. There is much less cooking time like now, especially this Among the few dishes, except for the braised wild bamboo shoots, I have never seen or even heard of the remaining three dishes. They must be the master's innovative dishes.

Therefore, while laying hands down, I listened attentively to the master explaining the recipe. In fact, the golden lionfish is a serious Shandong dish, but it is not yet available.

An Ran speculates that this golden lionfish may have evolved from squirrel mandarin fish, but he chose carp. Whether it is knife work or wrapped in eggs and battered with oil, it is quite similar to the ancient squirrel fish, and even the final dish is sweet and sour The juice is similar. Because the finished dish looks like a golden lion, it is named golden lionfish.

The cooking of crispy pork tenderloin is even easier, but it took a bit of effort because there is no ready-made crispy rice. As for the egg mushroom, it should be meat, but An Ran made it vegetarian, using bean sprouts, coriander, and fermented bean curd to make vegetarian stuffing , wrapped in egg skin, and steamed for a quarter of an hour.

The four dishes were served on the table, not extravagant, but not shabby, just suitable for entertaining the family, An Ran let the dog dig out a jar of wine under the flower trees in the garden.

Before, I wondered why there was wine buried under the tree in the garden I just bought, and it was supposed to be left by the old owner. Now that I think about it, the old owner of this garden was An Jiamu.

Thinking about it carefully, he didn't see many obvious flaws. It should be said that he didn't think about it at all, which made him lie for half a year.

The food was placed in the small porch in the East Garden, and there was a Four Seasons Osmanthus plant next to it. Although it had passed the flowering period, it was full of osmanthus fruits. Huanxi, when I am happy in my heart, I feel that everything is a good sign.

An Ran just showed her side, afraid that An Jiashu would restrain her, so she avoided it, leaving the brothers to drink with each other in Xiaoxuan.

An Jiamu glanced at the dishes on the table, and smiled deeper: "Your sister-in-law knows your taste."

An Jiashu looked over one by one, and was really convinced in his heart. Although Anran had a great reputation outside, in his impression, he was still the little girl he had seen outside Anji Restaurant in Jizhou. But he has never seen it with his own eyes, let alone eaten it. Speaking of it, this is the first time he has eaten An Ran's cooking.

With a chopsticks, the crispy taste is so suitable for my own taste. I eat an egg mushroom, which is extremely delicious, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant. As for this lionfish, it is crunchy and sweet, and it is better than the squirrel mandarin fish in Songyuelou. There are also braised wild bamboo shoots, mountain mushroom soup, emerald shrimp dumplings, and even this bowl of plain noodles, all of which are extremely delicious.

An Jiashu suddenly understood why Yashe's dishes are so expensive, but people still covet them, just because they can eat such delicious food once in a while, it is worth any money, and he couldn't help saying: "No wonder people outside praise my sister-in-law for her superb cooking skills. , When I was in Jizhou, I ignored it."

An Jiamu shook her head with a smile: "Why do you care about this? She was still a girl in the mansion at that time. Didn't she later enter the big kitchen and pay homage to Mr. Zheng, I'm afraid she would fool me, but at that time After all, she has some taboos and hides a lot of skills, and later, when I arrived in Qizhou, I really saw her culinary skills and also knew her temperament, so I didn't dare to show her whereabouts, for fear that she would hate me."

An Jiashu held the pot and filled the wine cup, and raised his hands: "Fortunately, the elder brother will watch the clouds and see the moonlight. My younger brother wishes the eldest brother and sister-in-law to grow old together, and give me a little nephew early." An Jiamu laughed heartily.

The two brothers chatted more and more vigorously, and they ate lunch until late at night. An Jiashu was so drunk that he just left. An Ran asked someone to help An Jiashu to rest in the house that had just been tidied up, and then let the dog see him off. After drinking the hangover soup, tell the maid to keep watch, and don't disturb the third master.

He came back to the house with hangover soup to see An Jiamu, and as soon as he entered the room, he was hugged into an unusually familiar embrace. The hangover soup in his hand was almost knocked over, and he hurriedly put it on the small table next to him.

Next to An Jiamu's ear was an increasingly ambiguous voice mixed with drunkenness: "Where did Madam go? Let my husband wait."

An Ran blushed, and wanted to push him away, but she couldn't push him away, instead, she was hugged by him.

An Ran hurriedly said: "I haven't eaten the hangover soup yet."

An Jiamu laughed: "What kind of hangover soup do you eat, Madam is the hangover soup for your husband..." He lowered his head and kissed her small mouth, very affectionately: "You count how many days you have been cold for your husband. And to return it is..."
