Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 31 Deposit
The relationship between people is so wonderful.Feng Yao and Mr. Wen obviously haven't been together for a long time, but they feel like they've known each other for many years.This is a kind of intuition, Feng Yao felt from the bottom of her heart when she saw Mr. Wen at the first sight, this is a person who can be friends with.Having lived in the cracks for more than 20 years in her previous life, Feng Yao has already honed a keen heart and a pair of sharp eyes, and she almost never misses it.

Only...a delicate and gentle face flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a little shivering in my heart.

Perhaps it was because Shen Congzhi hid it too deeply, or maybe it was because Shen Congzhi had her obsessive temperament, subconsciously covering up his guard against him.However, Feng Yao is not someone who was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.Even if she stumbles hard, her principle of making friends will not change because of this, she just likes to make friends from the heart.

Feng Yao stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, we business people, especially when it comes to food, the most important thing is cleanliness and safety. You have never seen this star anise, so there is something wrong in your heart, why not? , I’m going to make a dish now, and try it for you.”

"This—" Mr. Wen looked at Feng Yao's frank and straightforward gaze, and couldn't help but sigh again, Lady Feng is really a glorious person.So he accepted her kindness, after all, he had suffered a lot before: "Then there will be Mrs. Laofeng!"

After all, he walked in front and led Feng Yao towards the kitchen.Feeling very emotional in my heart, I couldn't help my head getting hot, and said: "My surname is Wen, Mingren Yu, I am a little older than you, if Miss Feng doesn't mind, just call me Uncle Wen!"

"Uncle Wen." Feng Yao called out with a smile, "My name is Feng Yao, that's what Uncle Wen called me."

"Haha, okay, then I'll call you Yaoer." Wen Renyu laughed.There were only a few boys in his family, all naughty, and they never knew what it was like to have a daughter.He didn't dare to say that Fengyao was the girl in his heart, but he just pitied her for being so strong and not easy, and secretly vowed in his heart that if she encountered difficulties in the future, he would definitely do very cheap with her.

Feng Yao smiled slightly, her face was calm, but there was a villain in her heart who was going crazy.It was obvious that the two of them chatted very well just now, as if they had forgotten their friendship, why are they suddenly a generation shorter?However, this is also a good thing - if she calls him Uncle Wen, how dare he not protect her in the future?Not only do you have to protect it, but you have to worry about it often.

After entering the kitchen, Wen Renyu said: "Yao'er, just watch and cook, the ingredients are all complete."

Feng Yao turned her eyes, scanned the kitchen with more than ten square meters, and nodded: "If Uncle Wen's place is not complete, the entire Huangsha Town may be even less complete."

A little compliment, Feng Yao walked to the chopping board, pulled out a green onion, a head of garlic, and a piece of ginger from under the chopping board, peeled, washed and cut into pieces, and began to prepare for cooking.

In the cupboard, there are chickens that have been depilated and cleaned, ribs cut into sections, pieces of bright red beef and so on.Feng Yao thought for a while, scooped out half a bowl of pork ribs, and picked up a water radish from the ground, planning to make a pork rib stewed radish.

Wen Renyu stood aside, occasionally lending a hand.I saw Fengyao heated up the pot, put in half a teaspoon of oil, and when the oil in the pot emits white smoke, pour in the chopped green onion, ginger and garlic, pull it until the fragrance comes out, then pour the washed pork ribs went in.

"Sizzling——" the pork ribs fell into the oil pan, making a sizzling sound.Wen Renyu stood aside and watched, and saw that Feng Yao fried the pork ribs until golden on the outside, put in three or four star anises, stir-fried for a while, and a unique fragrance wafted out immediately.Then pour half a bowl of clear water, add water radish, and simmer.

Although the sequence of the period was very ordinary and there was nothing unusual about the movements, Wen Renyu was still surprised.It's just because Feng Yao's movement of holding the pot is surprisingly steady!

Wen Renyu is a cook, and he has also taken in several apprentices. No one has ever been able to hold the pot so firmly at such a young age!Without enough experience and skills, no matter how strong your hands are, you can't do it!
"Just stew for a quarter of an hour." Covering the pot, Feng Yao took the towel by the stove, wiped her hands, turned and said to Wen Renyu: "The usage of this star anise is probably like this. It tastes good, but when stewed, it has a particularly spicy aroma."

Wen Renyu nodded in agreement: "I've already smelled the star anise when it was put into the pot just now." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yao'er is really well-informed, Uncle Wen has been a cook for so many years, and often Running around, I have never seen this seasoning alone."

Feng Yao smiled: "I also met by chance."

On the stovetop, there was a "gurgling" sound from the pot, and the rich and mellow meat aroma wafted out from the gaps in the pot cover, which attracted the little guys outside to come over one by one: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing?" , so tempting!"

"You bastards, wait another half an hour, and I'll serve it for you to taste later." Wen Renyu laughed loudly looking at the boys crowded at the door of the kitchen.

As the fragrance in the pot became more and more intense, the smiles in Feng Yao's eyes gradually increased.Wen Renyu is both the shopkeeper and the cook, and he is extraordinarily reasonable, and has a strong ability to accept new things. It doesn't take much effort to sell the star anise to him!
With this friendship, if you find any seasonings from now on, just bring them here and ask Wen Renyu to give you a fair price.Or make some new dishes, maybe you can make a small profit.A half-basin of snails raised in a water basin appeared in her mind, Feng Yao couldn't help but curl her mouth.

"Get out of the pot!" At this time, the stewed radish with ribs in the pot is also ready.Feng Yao wrapped her hands in a cage cloth, walked to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot.Suddenly, an extremely strong fragrance wafted out, and the boys standing at the door of the kitchen swallowed their saliva one after another.

Even Wen Renyu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, seeing the crystal clear and attractive gravy on the plate, which was emitting a fragrance he had never tasted before: "Let me have a taste first."

"It's just out of the pot, and it's still hot." Feng Yao couldn't help laughing, she took the plate and walked to the outside hall, and still sat where the two of them were sitting just now.

"It's not hot, I'll try it." Wen Renyu couldn't help itching, picked up a piece of ribs with chopsticks.He even forgot that Fengyao's original intention of cooking was to try and reassure him about the safety of star anise.After chewing twice, he immediately stretched out his thumb and praised: "Such a delicious spicy taste is simply irreplaceable!"

Feng Yao smiled slightly, and said to the little guy who was standing beside him, holding chopsticks and trying to come forward but dared not, but swallowed: "You might as well try it too."

As soon as the words were finished, Wen Renyu also nodded to them, and then the boys rushed up and ate a spare rib for each of them.Suddenly, the voice of praise sounded from time to time, until there was a scream: "Ah! My tongue!"

It turned out that the pork ribs were so delicious that a young guy actually bit his tongue, which made Feng Yao very amused. He raised his head and said to Wen Renyu: "Uncle Wen, fifty cents a tael, is it worth it?"

"It's worth it!" Wen Renyu said as he extended his chopsticks to the last rib in the bowl, chewing and saying, "Spicy, fishy, ​​delicious!"

At this time, the boys were surprised: "What? Fifty cents a tael?"

In this world, fifty Wen can buy two catties of high-quality pork!And just one or two seasonings will cost fifty yuan?Is it too expensive?What's more, it's just a bit more delicious, so it can't be more expensive than meat, right?

Feng Yao smiled lightly: "The annual output of this seasoning is less than two hundred catties, and only I know where to get it. Moreover, I only sell it to your family."

Hearing this, the boy fell silent, but looked up at Wen Renyu to see what their shopkeeper and chef was planning.

Wen Renyu finally finished eating, let out a sigh of relief, sat down and glared at the young man: "Things with no vision! You just know how to eat and eat! Do you know that in the eyes of nobles, fifty Wen is the same as Like a strand of hair? They want it to be exquisite! It’s exquisite! It’s delicious! Just to remove the fishy smell, they are willing to spend five taels of silver more! Fifty Wen? What a fart!"

The few boys were so scolded that their faces were red and their ears were red, they lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Wen Renyu just poured a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, then looked up at Feng Yao: "Yaoer, when will you bring me the star anise?"

Feng Yao thought for a while, and said: "I'm afraid I don't have time these few days. After four or five days, I will send you twenty catties." She promised the mysterious man to make something for him to make the little girl happy. The most important thing is to finish this one.

"Okay!" Wen Renyu pinched his fingers and counted. Fifty Wen a tael, five hundred Wen a catty, and twenty catties equaled ten taels of silver.He patted the table and said to the boy next to him, "Go, get ten taels of silver!"

Feng Yao was stunned for a moment, only to hear Ren Yu say: "Yao'er will take the fixed silver first, and when it is convenient later, I will send it to Uncle Wen."

"Thank you, Uncle Wen." Feng Yao's heart warmed, and she was sure she saw the right person.

After Feng Yao left, Wen Renyu took off the half-new shirt outside, exposing the waistcoat with bare arms, and walked into the kitchen.It's almost noon now, and seeing that there will be more guests, it's time to prepare the ingredients.

A young man followed closely behind: "Uncle, how can you give her money first? What if she cheats us?"

"Promise!" Wen Renyu glared at this distant nephew, "I have been with me for two years, why do you have so little insight? Is that girl like an ordinary person? She has a lot of knowledge, buy half of it." All restaurants are worth it!"

The little boy bowed his head after being scolded, and muttered: "You are dressed in rags, you really don't look like an ordinary person, you look like a beggar!" He rolled his eyes and said to himself: "Uncle can't be so prodigal, how big is his family fortune?" It's all lost! Could it be that Uncle has taken a fancy to that little lady? No, I have to tell my aunt!"

Feng Yao walked out of Wuyou Building, covered her eyes with one hand, and looked at the sun in the sky.I saw that the sun was about to rise to the middle, and I knew immediately that it was almost noon.

Stretching out his hand to touch his bosom, he sold it for three taels to eight hundred taels at Chen Ji seasoning shop, and just now he got another ten taels of silver in Wuyoulou, which is probably enough to buy what he wants.

With the score in mind, Feng Yao stepped forward to the cloth art street in Huangsha Town.
