self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 90

Jiao Xing'er grabbed Zhou He tightly: "I, I won't go with you, you, you are talking nonsense, Yuan Laoer was beaten to death in your yamen, what has anything to do with me, Zhou He, tell them , I married you, I belong to the Zhou family, you are my man..."

Seeing that she was so scared, Zhou He hurriedly stood in front of Jiao Xing'er: "Did the elder brothers make a mistake, she is the daughter-in-law of my Zhou family."

The Yacha took a look at him: "Master Zhou, don't be confused. You dare to have a daughter-in-law who murdered your husband like this. Aren't you afraid that you will end up like Yuan Lao Er that day?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Zhou He got annoyed.

The Yacha didn't take Zhou He seriously at all. The reason why he was polite to him was entirely for the sake of the Anfu, otherwise, who would take the Zhou family seriously.

Seeing that Zhou He was annoyed, his face darkened: "It's office work, who is talking nonsense to you, hurry up, take the prisoner away, and miss the adult's trial, who of you can take care of it."

The next two office servants rushed over, regardless of whether Jiao Xing'er was on the bed or not, they just set it up and dragged it out.

Aunt Liu saw that Jiao Xing'er was wearing thin clothes, she had just lost her child, and it was freezing cold today, so she went to the yamen like this without interrogation.Half of her life was gone, she had entered Zhou's house anyway, and couldn't bear to do this, so she hurriedly said: "Can the official make it easier for the old lady to change her into some thick clothes."

When Aunt Liu spoke, the yamen officer naturally wanted to save face and let Jiao Xing'er go.

Aunt Liu and Zhou Tai's daughter-in-law rushed to change the cotton clothes for her. Jiao Xing'er had lost her mind and grabbed Aunt Liu's hand: "Mother, mother, please help me, help me, it used to be My fault is that Jiao Xing'er is ignorant. From now on, I will never embarrass the Chen family again, nor will I provoke Zhou He to quarrel with the eldest brother, or to separate the family. Please help me, I am also the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family what."

Aunt Liu sighed: "Don't be afraid, if you didn't kill Yuan Er Er, just make it clear, if it is really you who killed him, the Zhou family will not be able to save you if you pay for your life."

Jiao Xing'er shook her head hurriedly: "Mother, you can save, only you can save, just go to An Mansion and ask Da Furen, it will be done."

Aunt Liu frowned, and looked at her for a long time: "Your mother has long been in charge of you, but your mother refused to listen. She always thought of an old woman, and she gave birth to a good-looking child. The couple met their living ancestors." Same, but you are spoiled so ignorant, since ancient times, debts are repaid, and people are paid for their lives, even if those high-ranking officials and nobles kill people, it will not work, let alone, we poor people, you must not mention Da Furen, Da Furen If you have a compassionate heart, then it depends on who? What is the matter? For such a matter, the eldest lady can help, but I can't open my mouth. Let's go, life or death is up to you Abuse, since you have done it, you should suffer."

Jiao Xing'er suddenly screamed: "I know, you don't like me a long time ago, and you too." Then, she pointed at Zhou Tai's wife: "Don't think I don't know you, we all look forward to seeing you in private." Let me die, and save your Zhou family's good life."

As he spoke, he nodded suddenly: "I see, these yamen servants were called by you. You thought I was an eyesore, so you thought of such a trick. My child just died, and you sent me to the yamen. , such a vicious mind, if I die, even if I am a ghost, I will not let your Zhou family go."

"It's not your turn to be a ghost." Zhou Tai's daughter-in-law couldn't help but said: "Why aren't you afraid that your man Yuan Er Er will come to you as a ghost, and, who knows if the child in your belly is Mr. Yuan? Second, I fell on the head of the second younger brother. The second younger brother lost his head and was coaxed by you. Falling on the heads of younger brothers and sisters, now God has opened his eyes and turned over what you did. You still have the face to say such things. I advise you to think about how to explain clearly the murder of your husband in the hall. , our Zhou family doesn't have such an ugly daughter-in-law like you."

Saying that, she went out and asked the Yamen to come in and dragged Jiao Xinger away. Before she left, Jiao Xinger yelled that Zhou He had no conscience.

Zhou Hewai was about to follow, Zhou Tai and his father grabbed him one by one, Aunt Liu pointed at him with a livid face: "You still want to chase after you, but you are not going to be arrested by the Yamen, you are not implicated. It's the ancestors of our Zhou family who bless you, it's better to get rid of such disasters as soon as possible, if you don't stay at home, you will definitely bring disasters of ruining your family."

Zhou He didn't agree: "She is from our Zhou family after all, and she just lost her child. Is it okay for me to watch her suffer? No, I have to go to Anfu."

Aunt Liu was trembling with anger, seeing that he was about to leave, she raised her hand and gave her a slap or two: "Mother, why did you give birth to such a stupid bastard, what crime is Jiao Xing'er, murdering her husband, this is human life Lawsuit, what are you going to Anfu for, not to mention, what face do you have to go there? At this time, you think of An Ran, the goddamn girl. When you took the money from the cabinet, why didn't you think about it, did you embarrass your goddamn girl? Look down, what you wear and what you eat is not from Anfu. If you really have the backbone to live on your own ability, it's your ability.

Mother doesn't have such a backbone, but at least she knows what is good or bad. Mother is leaving her words here today. If you dare to misbehave again, mother will drive you out. From then on, the Zhou family will not have you as a son. "

Zhou He was shocked, although he didn't feel that he was wrong, but he also knew that the good food and drink are all thanks to his family, if his mother really kicked him out, then he would lose everything.

Thinking of this, he stopped, Zhou Tai pushed him back to the house, looked at the room and couldn't help frowning, since Jiao Xing'er entered the house, the second brother's courtyard was really different, seeing his brother sitting on the edge of the kang in a daze, Can't help saying: "You are really confused, this Jiao Xing'er just looks neater, as for you can't let it go, there is a saying that marrying a wife and a virtuous man, brother thinks, it's good to do this, it will save your life It was all destroyed in Jiao Xing'er's hands, listen to brother's words, pack up, go back to Anfu to bring your wife back, and live a good life from now on, wait for your younger siblings to give birth to a big fat boy for you, the family of three can be compared with Meimei Nothing strong."

I don't want Zhou He to be ungrateful, but when Zhou Tai mentioned the Chen family, he couldn't help saying: "Big fat boy? I don't know if it's a son or a nephew." This sentence made Zhou Tai angry, and pointed at him: "Jiao Xing You can believe my son's nonsense, but I still say such stupid things, I Zhou Tai is not a beast, I can't do such a beast." Angrily, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.

But Zhou He was still thinking about Jiao Xing'er, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't let it go, he stood up and wanted to go to the yamen, but his father hurriedly stopped her, and Aunt Liu went and said coldly: "Let him go, let him go, since you are so reluctant If not, let him go, just, if you step out of this door today, you will never come back, let alone the son of the Zhou family."

Zhou He is not very old, and it is the time when he has a strong temper. He used to be fine when he was a waiter, but later he became the big manager of a restaurant this year. How old is he, how can he bear his mother's run-off once or twice, and shouted angrily: "It's not the son of the Zhou family, it's not, I am a man of seven feet, I don't believe that I can't support myself." Let his father run away.

Aunt Liu glanced at the yard, sighed deeply, and said to Zhou Tai's wife, "Go and get the lock, lock the inside and outside of this yard, and give it to her when your younger siblings come back. If Zhou Heruo comes back, don't let him Come in."

Zhou Tai's daughter-in-law was stunned: "Mother, you really kicked out my second brother."

Aunt Liu: "Now I have figured it out. If you don't let him know that the pot is made of iron, he will definitely not repent, let alone cherish his blessings. If this goes on like this, it's okay to cause much trouble for the Zhou family. I'm afraid it will implicate you." Damn girl, our Zhou family is able to rely on others to have what it is today, this benefit comes too easily, so we should share it as it should be, don't worry about this matter, I have my own reasons."

Zhou Tai's daughter-in-law didn't dare to say anything, and helped her mother-in-law into the house.

Besides, Zhou He came out of his house and ran to the yamen in a fit of anger, just in time for the interrogation of the case, he still passed the lobby, attracting many spectators to stand outside the fence of the lobby.

Zhou He took some effort to squeeze forward, and saw Jiao Xing'er and the man next to Jiao Xing'er who sued Jiao Xing'er. This man was much younger than Yuan's second son, only around twenty at first glance, but he looked exactly like Yuan. Second brother.

Even Jiao Xing'er was stunned for a moment, thinking that someone was pretending to be Yuan's second brother, accusing herself of taking the opportunity to blackmail her, seeing this face, her heart suddenly thumped, she thought to herself, could it be that she was smashed to death by herself? The matter of Yuan Laoer really makes people know, it can't.

It was still early in the morning, after Ye Xiang left, I took a special look at it, no one was there, how could anyone see it, no one saw it, how would I know that I smashed Yuan Laoer to death, It may be that someone wants to kill him according to his heart, as long as he refuses to admit it, such a crime of murder can't be forced on his own head.

Thinking of this, I glanced up, and kowtowed: "My lord, the little lady is really wronged. The second Yuan is my man. How dare the little lady dare to harm her own man. He is dead, little lady!" What hope does a woman have if she becomes a widow, how can there be such a foolish person in the world."

Zhang Tai looked at her a few times, and couldn't help nodding secretly, don't blame Zhou He for not letting go, this woman is indeed quite beautiful, and her flamboyant gestures are more attractive than those fans, it's a pity .She has good looks, but her luck is really bad. If she offends the old man, what can happen?

What's more, this woman is really poisonous. Although she beat Mr. Yuan twenty or forty times that day, she didn't kill him. After returning home for a few days, she couldn't return to normal, and she wouldn't lose her life. I guess Mr. Yuan Er did not expect that he would die in the hands of his own wife in the end. It is really a cycle of cause and effect, and evil will be rewarded with evil.

However, since there was such a big battle today, she would naturally not allow her to deny it, and listened to her cry of grievances: "Mr. Jiao, do you think this is where you are allowed to deny it? Somebody, bring the one who poured Yexiang over here. "

As soon as Zhang Tai finished speaking, Yexiang came up tremblingly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Little one, please give me a bow for the adults."

Zhang Tai: "How did you find Yuan Laoer that day? How to send him home, tell me one by one, if there is half a lie, be careful about your life."

Zhang Tai hurriedly said: "Little, I don't dare to lie, that day I came out to pour the night fragrance as usual, before dawn, I went to the yamen, and I saw that the ground looked like a person in the dark. Seeing that he recognized Yuan Lao Er who was the butcher, he got him into the car and took him home. After knocking on his door for a long time, Yuan Lao Er's wife came out, but she didn't pick up Yuan Lao Er, pinching her nose. I didn't even leave the gate of dislike, so I got angry and threw Yuan Laoer on the ground and left."

"When you left Yuan Er Er, was he dead or alive?"

Ye Xiang hurriedly said: "If it's dead, how dare the young one care about this matter, I would have called someone long ago, although he was fainted, but Yuan Lao Er is strong, the young one breathed out, and he was angry."

"Do you remember when you left Yuan Er Er at the door?"

The one who fell in love with Ye Xiang thought for a while: "The young one has spent half his life in Ye Xiang, and he can tell when he just looks at the sky. When the young one left the Yuan's house, he took a special look at the sky. It was just dawn, and I guess it was almost Maoshi."

Zhang Tai nodded: "Is what you said true?"

"Your words are true, don't dare to deceive Master Qingtian." Zhang Tai asked the master next to him to make a pledge, and Ye Xiang pressed his handprint down.

Zhang Tai also sent a message to the neighbors of Yuan's family to come to the court and ask, "When did you know that Yuan's second son died?"

Some of the neighbors said Mao, some said the moment of Mao, and some said that it was not before Mao. I also know that there must be something.

Zhang Tai patted the gavel, and Jiao Shi's body trembled in fright: "Jiao Shi, tell me about it, why did your man become a dead man in less than half an hour?"

Although Jiao's heart was flustered, she knew that this matter must not be admitted. If she admits, she will have to pay for her life. This life will be over. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth: "I don't know, after Dao Yexiang left, I wanted to I dragged him into the house, but the little woman was weak and couldn't drag him. Just as she was thinking of asking the neighbors for help, she realized that my man died at some point. The little woman came up in a panic and called out to her neighbor Youshe came out and helped to carry it in. The packing was restrained and the funeral was carried out.

The little woman originally said that she would live like this, but she didn't want to, but my mother persuaded me to marry another, and everyone agreed, so I married.My lord, my little lady, tell the truth. "

As soon as she said this, someone yelled outside: "This bitch is talking nonsense, who didn't know that she had already hooked up with the second son of the Zhou family, and was blocked in the house by the second son of the Zhou family, so she took the opportunity to blackmail the second son of the Zhou family." money to eat, drink, whore and gamble."

Jiao Xing'er's complexion changed: "My lord, don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders, the little woman is quite pretty, and there are often unscrupulous men passing by my house, trying to take advantage of the little woman, but if the little woman refuses to obey, he will just go to the door of my house." Bear the grudge in your heart and pour dirty water on me."

"Nonsense? Who's talking nonsense? Ask the neighbors of your enemy, who doesn't know what happened between you and Zhou Laoer..."

But Zhang Tai didn't want to implicate Zhou Zhouhe, this Zhouhe is the eldest wife's brother-in-law, implicating Zhou's family, wouldn't it mean that Anfu was also involved, the gavel patted: "Quiet." Looking at Jiao Shi: "The trial today is for your crime of murdering your own husband, so let's not talk about other things."

The common people outside couldn't understand Zhang Tai's words, they didn't want to hold Zhou He accountable, they were afraid of dragging Zhou's family into trouble.

Jiao's head was lowered, and she insisted that she did not harm Yuan Laoer.

Zhang Tai exhausted his patience: "Jiao Shi, are you really not recruiting?"

Jiao Xing'er gritted her teeth: "The little lady really can't afford such a crime."

Zhang Tai sneered: "Ask Wu Zuo to come and open the coffin for an autopsy."

Jiao was shocked. If so, wouldn't it be a leak? No, it has been several months now. Yuan Laoer's body must have died long ago, so he opened the coffin to find out what he wanted to mention. The heart fell back again.

What Jiao Xing'er didn't know was that even if the body rotted, Wu Zuo could still determine the cause of death. The small conclusion is that Yuan Er Er died of being hit on the head with a heavy object, and, judging from the shape of the wound left, the subordinates guessed that it was probably a brick."

Jiao Xing'er felt her eyes darken, and she fainted with a bang.

Zhang Tai snorted: "Wash her up."

The two clerks brought in the well water that was icy cold outside and poured it on Jiao Xing'er, Jiao Xing'er woke up with a jolt.

Zhang Tai said gloomyly: "Sister Jiao, are you going to recruit or not? If you don't, then why don't you blame me for punishing you?"

How could Mrs. Jiao bear this crime, she felt that she was going to die immediately, better than now, she nodded hurriedly: "Recruit, recruit, the woman recruited, Yuan Laoer always beat me to death, I am afraid that if he comes back to life , was beaten to death by him sooner or later, seeing that he was not awake, she wanted to suffocate him to death, but when he suddenly woke up, the woman was terrified, and happened to have a brick in her hand and smashed it down."

As soon as Jiao Xing'er confessed, the trial of the case was clear, the murder paid for her life, Jiao Xing'er went to death row and waited until Qiu Hou beheaded her.

Zhou He just squeezed to the front, but when he heard someone mentioning the matter between him and Jiao Xinger, he felt scared and shrank back again. It was not until Jiao Xinger confessed that Zhou He returned home in a daze.

I didn't want to, but I couldn't get in when I got to the door of the house. There was a new lock on the outside of the courtyard door. I went to knock on his parents' door, but they just didn't open it. In vain, he waited for his sister-in-law to poke her head out from the side yard, waved to him, and called Zhou And get into the house.

When Zhou Tai saw him, he stopped going into the back room. Zhou He didn't understand, so he said, "Sister-in-law, why is the door of my house locked?"

Zhou Tai's daughter-in-law sighed: "Could it be that my uncle forgot what he said when he left?"

Zhou He was taken aback for a moment, and just remembered that he just said in a fit of anger that he would not go back to Zhou's house in the future, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart. Telling him not to enter, he stood up and wanted to knock on his parents' courtyard door again, but Zhou Tai's daughter-in-law held him back: "Uncle, sister-in-law advises you, this time mother-in-law is really in a hurry, and she won't be here for a while. You will be soft-hearted, otherwise, you go outside and stay for a few days, and I will persuade your mother with your elder brother, and it will be the same when you come home again when your mother recovers."

Then, he went into the house and took a purse and stuffed it to him: "You take the money first, it's no better than going out at home, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, nothing is free."

But Zhou He stood up abruptly: "Sister-in-law, don't pretend to be a good person. Maybe it's because of you two who want to monopolize our Zhou family's property. Think I'm a fool."

His words annoyed Zhou Tai in the back room, he came out a few steps, grabbed the money from his wife's hand, pointed to the door: "Get out."

Zhou He turned around and left with a snort.

Zhou Tai sat down on the kang and said for a long time: "Thinking about it this way, it's not as good as when I was poor. Although life was poor, it stopped."

His daughter-in-law persuaded: "What you said is that wealth has nothing to do with it. My uncle is confused. Thinking about you being a girl, people are called rich and noble. I haven't seen anything like my uncle."

Mentioning An Ran, Zhou Tai couldn't help nodding his head: "You don't know who my sister is. Although she is a girl, she has more skills than anyone else, and she can see farther than anyone else. She can't help but be good at cooking, and she can read and write, and she is sensible, otherwise , Do you think that anyone can be the lady of the Anfu, I always feel that being a girl is not the same as us from the very beginning."

His daughter-in-law nodded: "The heart is still kind, it's not your godmother who protects younger siblings, maybe Jiao Xing'er should have been put to death long ago."

Not to mention the couple secretly sighing here, but also to An Ran, the snow started to fall early this morning, the snow was not heavy, but dense, and after a while there was a thin layer on the ground, this was the second snow since the beginning of winter.

The first snow fell lightly, and it didn't take long for it to stop. An Ran hoped that the snow would be heavier this time, and told Xiao Tao to ask someone to wash the tank, and remember to dry it with a cotton cloth for preparation.

Xiao Tao wondered, "Is the lady going to pickle pickles?"

An Ran smiled and shook her head: "The big kitchen has enough salted vegetables, and I can't eat any more. It would be a waste. I want to pickle the snow when the snow is heavy."

These words just fell into the ears of Yue Jintang who just came in, and Yue Jintang laughed backwards and forwards, pointing at An Ran and said: "You are an idiot for being a cook, I have heard of pickled fish, pickled meat and pickled vegetables, even the pickled fruits are not fresh , but I haven’t heard that snow can be pickled. Let’s not talk about the pickling method. I would like to ask, what do you want to pickle so much snow? Is it for eating? Doesn’t the snow turn into water when pickled? Is it necessary to make tea, this is true, those literati like to collect the snow from the branches, bury it under the tree, and wait for the next year to make tea, which is very interesting, but I have never heard of pickling snow."

An Jiamu also looked at An Ran suspiciously.

An Ran shook her head: "Even if you are ignorant and ignorant, you should know how to hide your clumsiness. If you spread it so much, you won't be afraid that others will laugh at your ignorance as the majestic Xiaoyao County King."

"This king is ignorant? Well, what do you think you can do with this salted snow?"

An Ran looked at the flying snowflakes in front of her, and reached out to catch some. The hexagonal snowflakes were crystal clear and beautiful beyond description. Only nature can create such a miraculous workmanship, but in her own eyes, this snow is really good. thing.

Seeing An Jiamu and Yue Jintang, including Xiaotao and a few servants looking at him suspiciously, he couldn't help laughing: "It's been recorded in medicine books that snow water can detoxify and cure plague, and folks also use snow water to treat fire burns." , Frostbite on one side.”

Yue Jintang: "Who told you about the medicine book, don't you want to say that you pickle the snow to cure the disease?"

An Ran shook her head: "I'm a cook, pickled snow is naturally for cooking, especially Layuexue, which is a rare and good thing. Take Layuexue and mix it with salt and store it in a tank. When summer comes, take a spoonful out to cook fresh meat , without raw water and salt sauce, the taste of the meat is the same as that of the salted meat, and it is as if it has been marinated from the inside to the outside. The color is bright, ruddy and lovely, and it can last for a long time. If you use this salted snow to make other dishes, Or combined sauce is also very wonderful."

Yue Jintang was stunned: "Are you serious? It's not just coaxing."

An Ran gave him a blank look: "You don't believe it." She said to An Jiamu: "It's getting late, let's go, it's not right to be late."

An Jiamu nodded, and closed the feathered satin cloak with fox fur lining for her. The cloak was bright red, and looked very good on his wife. Moreover, the wide cloak covered her stomach, and if she just looked at the round The small face reflected the white fox fringe of the hood, making her look more and more like a little girl, so tender that she could squeeze out a pocketful of water.

After making sure that the little daughter-in-law was tightly wrapped, the couple went out.

Yue Jintang followed behind and did not forget to tell Xiaotao: "Prepare a few more jars, and I will ask someone to get some clean snow in a while, so that next year I can taste what this marinated snow boiled meat is like." Seeing that Xiaotao agreed, Just chased it out.

The foundation stone laying ceremony of the culinary art school was near Zhuangzi, where Anjia raised horses, and Zhuangzi, who raised horses, was integrated into the culinary art school.

Not coming for a long time made An Ran quite embarrassed, especially when he saw the puddle, which was extremely frozen now, and suddenly remembered An Jiamu's embarrassment that day, if he didn't save him by himself, he might have died.

An Jiamu saw that she was looking out of the window and smiling, and looked over, saw the puddle, and naturally knew what the daughter-in-law was thinking of, so she couldn't help laughing, and put An Ran in her arms: "At that time, I thought of a lot of tricks. Son, but you girl is slippery, like a little loach, I haven't waited to catch the net yet, you girl slipped away and disappeared through the net, that time I really thought you were I couldn't think about throwing myself into the river, so I jumped down without even thinking about it."

An Ran looked at him and smiled: "You are the one who threw himself into the river. If I hadn't kindly rescued you at that time, there would be nothing else to happen."

An Jiamu also laughed: "So the marriage is destined, even if you hate me at that time, you will still save me." Suddenly, Anping said from outside: "Master, madam, we are here."

An Jiamu went down first, and then carefully helped An Ran out of the car. An Ran was stunned when she got out of the car, why are there so many people here?

At first, she thought that there were not many people, that is, the officials of Jizhou led by Ji Gongming, the magistrate, and the people from the kitchen shop of Jizhou, who might come to join in the fun, but she didn't expect so many people to come, Gang Zhuangzi blocked it and didn't see it. Only now did I know that there were hundreds of couples coming.

An Jiamu: "It's still unknown to the outside world. If it gets out, I'm afraid that Jizhou City will be overcrowded. These are cooks from nearby state capitals. Besides the foundation stone laying ceremony, they also want to see you, the number one in the world. The style of a chef."

There were many acquaintances in the house, and when they met, they naturally wanted to say hello, but they all knew that An Ran was pregnant now, and it was a surprise to be able to come to the foundation laying ceremony, so they didn't dare to make her tired, so they only said a few words before leaving.

When Yue Jintang came, he was naturally the host, who gave him the highest status.

Yue Jintang was thinking about going back to pickle the snow, so he didn't have the heart to greet these officials, so he ordered to get straight to the point.

The so-called foundation stone laying ceremony is similar to the modern times. It is to bury a boundary marker on the ground where the house is to be built, indicating that the ground will be broken. Naturally she was asked to come.

The loess was prepared early in the morning, loosened, and brought over and covered with a tarpaulin. Now that the tarpaulin was uncovered, An Jiamu shoveled it and handed it to An Ran, who sprinkled the soil on the boundary marker on the ground.

It was just such a simple action, but the surrounding applause was thunderous.

An Ran knew the feelings of these cooks, and having the Anji Culinary Academy nominated by the emperor's imperial pen was equivalent to affirming the status of cooks in Dayan.

What's more, with An Ran, the number one chef in the world, as the principal, the chef's status will be more respected. What they believe in is not the Culinary Academy, but An Ran standing in front of the boundary marker.

Even though An Ran is so petite, in the eyes of all the cooks, this An Ran still looks like a towering giant. Her extremely beautiful hands can make the most delicious food in the world, and her thin shoulders can support the body of a big swallow. The whole kitchen.

Yue Jintang couldn't help but said to An Jiamu: "Your daughter-in-law's charisma is really great, you don't need to invite, there are so many people here, and when I wait for the elegant house in the capital to open, let your daughter-in-law show up. Definitely hot."

An Jiamu shook his head: "There is no fool in this person, An Ran didn't come to where he is today, from Qizhou to Suzhou, and then to the capital, in several cooking competitions, he couldn't help defeating his opponent, and also convinced Dayan's chef Okay, apart from her cooking skills, she is upright and frank, and has nothing to ask for.

She let all her colleagues know that even if she has amazing cooking skills, she will not become the second Han Zizhang. She is not for herself, but for the stability and peace of the world's kitchen industry. It is the most difficult to be convinced from the heart, not to mention that with so many people, the reason why it is difficult is that everyone has selfishness, and they don't want to seek profit for themselves.

However, An Ran regards fame and wealth as floating clouds, and instead thinks about the safety of the kitchen. Others hide it, for fear that others will learn the unique skill, but she can write it down and print it as a recipe for everyone to know. She can't do it. "

Yue Jintang couldn't help but nodded: "That's right. The emperor said that you, a daughter-in-law, have a bright heart. What's even more commendable is that you can make everyone close to you bright. This is the most rare thing."

An Jiamu couldn't help but glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "I don't think it's everyone, some people have become very philistine, and they only see money in their eyes."

Yue Jintang was rather happy: "We are not the same, and we are each other. Speaking of it, I am not as close as you, and I have not seen you become a good person. So, we are broken from the root, so let's save it." Well, clearly the King of Hades insists on pretending to be a Bodhisattva, even if he pretends to be a bodhisattva."

An Jiamu couldn't help laughing.Seeing that the matter was almost over, fearing that An Ran would be frozen if he stayed outside for a long time, he gave An Ping a few words, helped An Ran get into the car and left.

Only then did Anping say: "Anji has set up a running water table. If you have time, please go back to Jizhou City to join in the fun."

Yue Jintang and Ji Gongming and other officials went to the other courtyard for dinner. Now the cook of the other courtyard was transferred from Anji, so naturally they cannot compare with An Ran, but they are also well-known chefs, and their skills are quite good.

Even so, Yue Jintang only took a sip before putting down his chopsticks. The wine was not of a good taste, so he lost interest, but he heard Ji Gongming say: "The chef's skills in the Anfu have improved a lot. .”

Yue Jintang rolled his eyes, and couldn't help feeling that Xia Chong couldn't speak Bingyu. These people are really bumpkins. What have they eaten? Their cooking skills have improved. Even Gou Zishunzi, two young apprentices who have not graduated The dishes he makes are a hundred times better than this cook.

Thinking about the matter of Xianxue, how could he have the heart to talk nonsense with Ji Gongming, so he found an opportunity to leave the other courtyard and go back to Anfu.

As soon as I entered Anfu, I saw it was very lively. In the garden of Anfu, Anran held a hand stove in her arms, and directed the servants to collect the snow that fell on the flower branches. With his mouth open, he was catching the falling snow.

An Ran originally wanted to marinate a few pots for the next summer to make sauce and cook food. Once An Jiamu mixed it, it would become a big project. Adding a Yue Jintang would make it even more lively.

The first snowfall in Jizhou this twelfth lunar month lasted for three full days. In previous years, if it snowed so heavily, it would take a long time to clear it up. This year is unusual. First, the rich and official families began to harvest the snow. Later, Somebody spread the word of An Ran, the common people knew how to pickle the snow, and every family started to do it.

After the pickling at home was finished, we went to the street, and when there was nothing left on the street, we went to the suburbs. As a result of so many people doing it, the snow stopped for a long time, and it disappeared. Even the official roads were extremely clean, which made Yue Jintang return to Beijing. The journey was exceptionally smooth.

It's just that there are two full carts of salted snow behind him, looking a little weird, thinking about going back and putting it in his county prince's mansion, so that he can taste the salted meat that An Ran said next year.

I also thought of the mutton pot that I ate. Although I ate too much and felt uncomfortable for a long time, I couldn’t forget it. Now that I eat more dishes cooked by An Ran, I am getting older and better. Fortunately, the cook in my house is not bad. .

The private chef in Yue Jintang's mansion is Jiang Yu, Gu Yongcheng's uncle, and he kept Jiang Yu because he fell in love with his cooking skills. Although he is not as good as An Ran, he is much better than the other cooks. The most important thing is that he has a high understanding. After reading the recipes written by An Ran, the dishes they make are quite authentic. This is a talent, and it will be useful in the future. If you let it go, there is nowhere to find it.

It was also because Jiang Yu was Gu Yongcheng's uncle, that he was able to take care of Gu Yongcheng's affairs.

Looking into the capital, thinking of Gu Yongcheng, he asked someone to take Yanxue back to the mansion first, and ordered the guards to go to the Ministry of Punishment, no matter what, he had to get Gu Yongcheng out of the prison first.

Not to mention how Yue Jintang rescued Gu Yongcheng, but to look back at Mrs. Chen, who lived in Anfu for a month, and finally raised the food and drink. She has gained a lot of weight, and her complexion has improved. The aunt came over in a hurry to take Mrs. Chen back.

An Ran was still worried at first, but later she heard from Xiao Tao that the case of Jiao Xing'er murdering her husband was uncovered, she was sent to death row, and she hanged herself the same night she entered.

An Ran was stunned for a moment, and knew that it was An Jiamu's handwriting. No wonder this man asked him to leave this matter to him. He probably knew that it was Jiao Xinger who did it. If you don't make any progress, you won't end up like this.

An Ran didn't feel sorry for her at all. Some people in this world are worthy of pity, but some are not. People like Jiao Xing'er are clean after death, and they harm good people if they don't manage well while alive.

But Mrs. Liu followed Mrs. Chen to go home. As soon as she entered the alley, she saw many neighbors surrounded in front of her. When she saw their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she hurriedly said, "Ms. Liu, you are back. There is a debtor here. He talked about you Jia Zhouhe is in arrears."

As he spoke, he leaned into Aunt Liu's ear and said, "Look at the way you dress up, you don't want to be a good person, maybe it's the old bustard in the kiln..."
