Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 78
Ye Qinghan walked into the kitchen with the pitcher in hand, without looking at her.

A look of disappointment flashed in Mao Chun's eyes.

Before coming here, she thought it would not be difficult to take down Ye Qinghan. After all, she knew that beauty is a woman's best weapon against a man, and she is very good at cleaning herself up. She can make nine out of seven points of beauty pretty.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came to the Ye family's new house, she saw a girl who was more beautiful than herself. In front of her, she really paled in comparison, which was a great disadvantage to herself!
Fortunately, this girl is his younger sister, so she is not a threat to her.

As long as he pleases his second brother and third sister, with her looks and scheming, she must be able to take him down, right?
Mao Chun followed into the kitchen and heard Ye Qiongdan rummaging through the ingredients in the kitchen while saying to Ye Qinghan: "Brother, how about having braised hoof pork, crucian carp tofu soup, Kung Pao rabbit meat, and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root at night? Four There are a few dishes, do you have anything else you want to eat?"

"Shall I make braised mullet eggs, dry-roasted winter bamboo shoots, fried diced chicken in sauce, and preserved egg and amaranth soup?" Mao Chun said quickly, "These dishes are all my father's specialty dishes back then."

"You are a guest, how can there be any reason to let someone come to the kitchen?" Ye Qiongdan smiled politely, "It's hot in the stove, go outside and rest under the pomegranate tree, it's cooler there."

"I've been resting all afternoon, and I want to exercise my muscles and bones. Dan'er, don't treat me as an outsider. I want to make you a good friend. Let me help you!" Mao Chun eagerly said Said.

"It's really unnecessary..."

"Dan'er, just try my handicraft." Mao Chun said softly.

Mao Chun wanted to attract Ye Qinghan's attention through his cooking skills.

Although Ye Qinghan said before that he had no intention of marrying a wife for the time being, Mao Chun believed that it was because he hadn't met a girl who satisfied him. Sure to please him.

Ye Qinghan picked out ingredients from the kitchen to make braised trotters, crucian carp tofu soup, Kung Pao rabbit diced and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, put them in a basket, and went to the well to wash them.

Looking at his figure, Mao Chun was even more satisfied with a man like him.

Not to mention that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, as long as it is an ordinary family with a woman, the man in the family will never take a step near the stove, but he is willing to lower his body, loves his sister's hard work in the shop during the day, and takes her seriously Wash vegetables.

Mao Chun thought of his difficult situation at home, and thought, Ye Qinghan is really a loyal, kind and warm man.

Mao Chun looked at his handsome side face, and for a moment, she was a little dazed. She didn't realize it until he finished washing the dishes, and turned around with a blushing face.

Ye Qiongdan kept all this in his eyes, feeling a little annoyed.

Ye Qinghan returned to the kitchen with a basket of washed vegetables. Ye Qiongdan quickly started cutting, garnishing, and frying vegetables. After a while, Kung Pao Chicken, crucian carp tofu soup, and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root were ready. The braised hoof was moved to a small stove, and a few pieces of charcoal were caught, and it was slowly simmered over a small fire, gradually rotting it.

At this time, Mao Chun also washed and chopped the ingredients, and started cooking with some nervousness.

When her father was alive, her family was from an average family, and she could barely eat meat a few times a month. Sometimes, her father would bring home leftovers from the restaurants in the town. That was the happiest time for the whole family. .

She had previously inquired about the three bedrooms separated from Ye's family, and they were living a very good life. She never expected that their family's life was so good. There are big fish and meat in the kitchen. Doesn't this mean that his family can eat every meal? Chicken, duck and fish?

This is equivalent to the life of a rich family in the city, right?

She must marry into the Ye family!

for sure!
Half an hour later, Mao Chun brought the stewed mullet eggs, dry-roasted winter bamboo shoots, diced chicken with sauce, and amaranth soup with preserved eggs to the table, and he wiped his hands awkwardly. The girl said: "Xiao Hai, it's time for dinner, stop working hard, it's getting dark."

Little Fourth Uncle ran in first, couldn't wait to pick up the bowl, scooped up a bowl of preserved egg and amaranth soup, and took a big gulp: "Hey, this is not a dish made by Ah Dan!"

"Is it delicious?" Mao Chun suppressed his distaste for fools and smiled.

"Delicious." The fourth uncle nodded.

Mao Chun widened her smile in satisfaction, she believed that fools would not lie.

"However, it's not as good as the preserved egg and amaranth soup made by Adan." The fourth uncle drank the soup in the bowl and asked, "Which dishes on the table did you cook?"

"I made braised mullet eggs, dry-roasted winter bamboo shoots, fried diced chicken in sauce, and preserved egg and amaranth soup." Mao Chun said, looking at Ye Qinghan again as if offering a treasure, hoping to attract his attention.

Ye Qinghan ignored her earnest eyes, served Ye Qiongdan a bowl of rice, and poured her a glass of cold boiled water.

"Oh, then I want to eat these other dishes," the fourth uncle said immediately, and he quickly pulled some of the Kung Pao rabbit meat, braised trotter, crucian carp tofu and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root into his sea bowl, " I like to eat the dishes made by Adan!"

"Try some of my other dishes too." Mao Chun was a little unhappy, and said with a half-hearted smile.

"You can't even cook a simple soup well, and you must be even worse at cooking other big dishes!" The fourth uncle shook his head vigorously.

The next meal seemed to confirm the words of my fourth uncle.

After everyone tasted the dishes made by Mao Chun, they stretched their chopsticks more diligently into the dishes made by Ye Qiongdan.

After Mao's father passed away, the Mao family suddenly fell into despair. Where can there be good ingredients for Mao Chun to practice?

Especially the stewed mullet eggs, after everyone tasted one, they didn't eat it anymore, because the salty smell of the mullet eggs was not removed, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Mullet eggs are a difficult ingredient to handle. Cleaned mullet eggs have to peel off the fat skin, put them in a pot of cold water, boil them on high heat, and soak them in the pot for 6 hours.Then uncover the mullet eggs one by one, put them into a cold water pot, and when they are [-]% boiled on a high fire, replace them with cold water and boil them again. Repeat this five or six times to get rid of their salty smell.

Mao Chun stretched out his chopsticks unwillingly, first tasted a few dishes he made, and felt that except for the unsatisfactory stewed mullet eggs, the other few dishes were well done, and he was a little bit dissatisfied with Ye Qiongdan. convinced.

Unexpectedly, after eating the food made by Ye Qiongdan, she was convinced.

Mao Chun smiled mischievously, and put a piece of fried chicken with sauce into Ye Qinghan's bowl: "Brother Ye, you have worked hard today."

Ye Qinghan's breath suddenly cooled down, he frowned slightly, without saying a word.

Then, he looked away indifferently, stopped eating, and started to feed Ye Qiong Danbu vegetables instead.

Mao Chun was a little embarrassed, and lowered his head under the pressure he unconsciously released.

Ye Qiongdan doesn't eat ginger, but in order to increase the sweet and spicy taste of the lotus root slices, she sprinkled some ginger powder on top of the sweet-scented osmanthus root slices. Ye Qinghan carefully picked out all the ginger powder on the lotus root slices, and then put the lotus root slices into Ye Qiongdan's bowl middle.

Crucian carp has a lot of spines, Ye Qinghan will scoop the crucian carp into a spoon every time, carefully pick out each bone with chopsticks, and then put it into Ye Qiongdan's bowl.

Ye Qiongdan saw that he had stopped eating since there was an extra piece of vegetables brought by Mao Chun in the bowl, so he asked, "Brother, don't you want to eat?"

"Ah."

"I am full?"

"It's okay." He continued to concentrate on picking fish bones for her, as if his own affairs were not important at all, and picking fish bones for her was the most important thing right now.

Mao Chun felt even more embarrassed. She knew that some men didn't understand etiquette, but they just didn't want to get in touch with this girl.

From the moment she entered the door until now, Ye Qinghan has shown no interest in her, which made her feel deeply frustrated, and even blamed Ye Qiongdan a little bit.

If Ye Qiongdan hadn't been more beautiful, would she have been overshadowed by her comparison?

If it wasn't for Ye Qiongdan's better cooking skills than hers, would she be dwarfed by her comparison?
After eating hair, Mao Chun took the initiative to say: "Let me wash the dishes."

"No need, I'll do the washing," Hai Yatou said quickly, "Brother Qinghan, Adan, Axue... are all busy people, and I always do the washing, so how can I let you do it alone? ?”

"Let me help you," Mao Chun actively wanted to show his virtuous side, "I work very quickly."

She helped Hai Yatou clean up the kitchen, but Ye Qinghan and Ye Qiongdan walked out without giving her a look, which made Mao Chun feel disappointed again.

After washing the dishes, Mao Chun was about to go back, she hoped that Ye Qinghan would come out to see her off, so she said: "It's so dark outside, I'm so scared, I'm not familiar with Shanghe Village, so I won't meet bad people, right? "

After finishing speaking, she looked at Ye Qinghan eagerly.

If it was another man, he would definitely offer to send her home at this moment in exchange for a chance for the two of them to be alone together, right?

But Ye Qinghan was indifferent, he concentrated on chopping firewood under the corridor.

Hai Yatou came out with a lantern and said to Mao Chun: "The villagers in Shanghe Village are very simple. If you are afraid, then I will send you back."

"But our two girls' family..."

"Then I'll call my second sister!" Hai Yatou said.

So Haiyatou and Xueyatou sent Mao Chun back together. Mao Chun endured the discomfort in his heart and thanked them.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Family Restaurant.

The Wu Family Restaurant is the best restaurant in Qinghe County. At this time, in a private room of the restaurant, there are the manager Fu and the second daughter-in-law of the Ye family who are eating non-stop.

The daughter-in-law of the second room has never eaten in such a high-end place. While eating the food on the table greedily, she asked meanly: "I won't ask you to pay for it later? I can't afford this meal. If you want me to pay, your wishful thinking will be in vain. You go to Shanghe Village to inquire, who doesn’t know that I, You Yue’e, is the most difficult to pester? Be careful not to ask me to pay in the end, and let you provoke yourself It's fishy!"

"Ma'am, don't worry, this meal is a treat for someone." Manager Fu said with a smile.

"That's good." The daughter-in-law of the second room said with a smile on her face. She knew that this was a feast, but it didn't affect her mood. She had never eaten such a delicious dish in her whole life. It's a pity that she didn't bring her man and three daughters to eat with her.

The second daughter-in-law ate intently, and when she was almost finished, she took a sip of tea, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said seriously, "I don't know what the manager Fu is looking for me for?"

"You know the recipes for pig offal and wild bracken, and the recipes for frying these dishes, right?" Manager Fu asked straight to the point.
