Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 47

After taking Sun Ze for a round trip, Xia Junyan focused on preparing new dishes three days later.

Boiled fish is spicy, and the county head, as a lady, can't eat more in full view.But the other dish was different. Xia Junyan put the three grass carp she bought back in a separate fish cage, preparing to let them starve for a few days.Just three days later, it can be taken to the town.

When shopkeeper Sun heard that Xia Junyan had another ancestral dish, he was stunned for a while, mouth shut. ——This village girl is too wicked!Although full of doubts, but the first two cooperations with Xia Junyan were very pleasant, so when Xia Junyan came with fish again, he readily vacated the kitchen and let her show her skills.

"Come on, Shuanghe Village Vinegar Fish, try it while it's hot." Xia Junyan thoughtfully changed the name of West Lake Vinegar Fish to a realistic one.

A sweet and sour aroma came out.For this dish, Xia Junyan went to shopkeeper Sun to ask for pepper, but it hurt shopkeeper Sun a bit, but thinking that this was a dish for the county magistrate, she gritted her teeth and bought a small jar for five taels of silver return.

Shopkeeper Sun carefully picked up a chopstick. The meat was tender and refreshing, with a unique taste, which was very suitable for women to enjoy.Just about to say a few words of admiration, when she raised her head, Xia Junyan looked at him with bright eyes.

"Cough..." Shopkeeper Sun put down his chopsticks, "How much is this recipe, Miss Xia can ask for a price."

"Everyone is old acquaintances, talking about money is so vulgar!" Xia Junyan smiled and waved her hands, "This dish is not too difficult to cook. If Jufulou is going to help the county lord's mansion, I can go !"

Is this trying to use the signboard of Jufulou to climb higher?

Shopkeeper Sun was not stupid, and he could understand what Xia Junyan meant when he heard it.

If the county lord eats happily that day, there will definitely be a reward, and maybe he will meet the person who cooks.For a village girl to become a cook in the county lord's mansion, this is definitely a good deal!
The cook in the county lord's mansion has no business conflicts with Jufulou, and if the cook is from Jufulou, she can give Jufulou a golden signboard!The more shopkeeper Sun thinks about it, the more he feels that this will be a win-win deal, and everyone will gain something, so why not do it.

It's just that there are two ancestral dishes in a village girl's house, which is really suspicious here.Shopkeeper Sun tentatively asked: "Miss Xia's family has a chef in her ancestors?"

Xia Junyan knew about this question earlier, and she has probably figured out the ins and outs of the Xia family during these days.Miss Xia's grandfather did business in the South in the early years, and had quite a bit of savings.After returning to his hometown, he tried his best to support Xia's father to study, but Xia's father was not suitable for studying, and he never passed the exam in his life.After Xia's grandfather passed away, Xia's father was even more extravagant, and Xia's family fell into decline.Then he said: "In the early years, my grandfather traveled all over the world, and these two dishes were brought back by my grandfather."

Shopkeeper Sun nodded, thinking in his heart to ask the staff to go to Shuanghe Village to find out.But seeing Xia Junyan say it so frankly, it is probably not a big problem.Shopkeeper Sun asked Xia Junyan to go back to the village to get ready. On the sixth day of the lunar new year, a staff member would pick her up. After that, she lived in Jufulou, and she could go to the county lord's mansion in advance at the ninth day of the new year.

Sun Ze got up to send Xia Junyan away. As soon as the two walked out of the kitchen compartment, they saw Chef Li standing in the place where Xia Junyan was cooking, as if studying something.After spotting Sun Ze and the others on the opposite side, he cursed in a low voice with a dark face, and left immediately.

"How about it, shopkeeper Sun is really going to let that kind of country girl who can't be seen on the stage go to the county lord's mansion to serve food?" Chef Li just returned home, and his mother-in-law Qiu asked hurriedly.

Cook Li took a sip of his wine: "A group of bastards! I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into Shopkeeper Sun!"
