super rich

Several dishes with delicious flavors and colors were quickly placed on the table, such as minced vegetable lion head, roasted tofu with crab powder, green vegetables and shiitake mushrooms, meat and vegetables, and the aroma was tangy.

Chen Mingyuan took a piece of fish, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, then sighed and smiled, "It's all right for you to be both talented and beautiful, and you can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. How can you embarrass the majority of female comrades."

"It's just a small handicraft, and it can't be put on the stage." Mu Jiayin untied the apron, and said with a smile: "When you see the real big handicraft, you will understand the true meaning of our country's people's food. Some of the elders in our family didn’t build that craft, I just learned a little fur from them when I was young.”

Chen Mingyuan tasted a few more dishes carefully, and asked, "You cook Huaiyang cuisine, right?"

"It can be said to be yes, or it can be said to be no." Mu Jiayin stroked her hair and explained: "It can be regarded as our Mu family's private kitchen, which is similar in nature to the well-known Tan family cuisine, although it is not as famous as the Tan family. The food is good, but the standard is still there.”

Chen Mingyuan nodded in relief.

Private kitchens, as the name suggests, are private dishes and private dishes. Private kitchens usually have no store signs, fixed menus, or full-time waiters. However, the cooking techniques of these dishes are often ancestral, with unique flavors, and limited supply. It is not available in restaurants in the market.

It is said that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Tan Yuqing, a descendant of a family whose ancestral home was in Lingnan, was an official for generations and loved to drink and eat. His father Tan Zongjun mixed Cantonese cuisine from his hometown into Beijing cuisine and made it famous in Beijing.Later, the family was in decline, and Tan Yuqing was sitting on the mountain, so the family cook or his wife and concubine made the Tan family's "private kitchen" to help the family. The banquet was set up at home, and there were three tables per night. Reservations had to be made three days in advance. After waiting for a month, over time, the well-known Tan family cuisine in China gradually became a reality!

"Try it too, it tastes really good."

Chen Mingyuan urged Yin Qingning and Mu Taotao to move their chopsticks again, but both of them seemed to be a little absent-minded. Yin Qingning's attitude was understandable, perhaps because he was more curious about the relationship between Mu Jiayin and himself. As for Mu Taotao, from the beginning of entering the door, a small His face was full of distress, and he was sitting in the corner chewing rice grains.

Chen Mingyuan glanced at her, and jokingly said, "Why do you still have a bitter face? Maybe it's because I was scared out of my wits by that incident and haven't recovered yet."

Mu Taotao pursed her lips, not daring to say anything.

Yin Qingning smiled wryly: "Brother, don't worry, she just got into a temper tantrum with her brother in the afternoon."

"Are you having trouble again? Who made the promise in front of me last time that you won't lose your temper again?"

Chen Mingyuan put his chopsticks aside and looked at the girl playfully.

Mu Taotao also put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said aggrievedly: "I can't be arrogant, my brother is obviously unreasonable, I really couldn't bear it, so I just said a few words."

Yin Qingning comforted: "Isn't your brother just worried that you will be cheated when you go out to find a job again? It's also for your own good."

"Why worry about me? He always scolds me for being stupid and stupid. It will only cause trouble. Well, I listened to it and said that I want to go back to my hometown. Help people with laundry and cooking." Mu Taotao said aggrievedly, "Why is my life so hard..."

Yin Qingning could only look at Chen Mingyuan in embarrassment.

Chen Mingyuan couldn't laugh or cry, he thought that this girl would be more sensible after suffering a catastrophe, but she didn't expect her nature to be hard to change.

He didn't want to pay too much attention to other people's family affairs, but since his mother loved Mu Taotao very much and told him to take good care of her, he patiently explained: "Let's not talk about whether your life is hard or not, but what do you want to do?" , do you feel wronged by asking you to wash and cook now?"

Mu Taotao drooped her head and tugged at the hem of her clothes, muttering, "It's not that I'm wronged, it's just that I don't want to be reconciled. I don't want to spend the rest of my life washing, cooking and doing rough work for others."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Want to make money, make big money!"

Mu Taotao replied without hesitation. Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin looked at each other and laughed. They couldn't tell that this girl was quite ambitious.

Mu Taotao's pretty face turned red, she pouted her cheeks, and said coyly: "I know you all think I'm daydreaming, but I really don't want to be like my brother for the rest of my life, only doing hard work. When I first came out of the village, I was looking forward to becoming famous in the big city, but when I came here, I am still the same, I am really not happy."

"Besides, rich people don't necessarily get rich from the very beginning. I've heard that many big bosses set up street stalls, pulled carts, and sold newspapers before they got rich. Like Aunt Yang, isn't she also Work hard step by step."

Hearing her clear examples, Chen Mingyuan knew that this girl was determined to break into a career. Unfortunately, no matter how ambitious her ambition was, just looking at her various unreliable behaviors, there was basically no need to expect anyone to be a fool. thing.

However, seeing that she was like an angry little woman, Chen Mingyuan couldn't bear to continue to beat her young heart, so he softened his tone and said: "You have some truths, but if you want to make money, you have to be down-to-earth. Let’s get rich overnight, let’s not talk about your plans, just talk about your specialties now, as long as you can come up with a reasonable one, I promise to arrange a good opportunity for you.”

"I, I will..." Mu Taotao opened her mouth excitedly, but after thinking for a while, the look in her eyes faded again, and she said dejectedly: "I seem to know how to wash and cook, but, I can learn slowly..."

Chen Mingyuan said bluntly: "Then you should go to the technical school to learn the craft first, and I will arrange it for you after you get your grades."

Mu Taotao was completely disheartened, and said in Shuchuan dialect with a sad face: "One wrong step, one wrong step, my life is a mistake!"

Mu Jiayin was so teased that she couldn't help laughing, she thought for a moment, and said, "Taozi, apart from washing and cooking, will you do grocery shopping and cleaning?"

Mu Taotao stared at her big watery eyes and nodded slightly.

"Well, I've hired you." Mu Jiayin said sweetly, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to be a servant, but I'm going to stay in Qiantang for a while, and I'm short of an assistant who can do housework and run errands for me. I'm quite satisfied if you help me, if you really feel that the life squatting on the construction site is too depressing, you can think about it, the salary is definitely better than your current treatment."

"Of course, you don't know anything at the moment. I can only let you start with running errands and teach you some things by the way. I can guarantee that as long as you follow me to learn with your heart, I will definitely arrange a good career for you in the future. I will consider subsidizing you a sum of money."

Mu Taotao covered her closed mouth with her hands, and said pleasantly, "Really?"

Mu Jiayin said solemnly: "I always keep my word!"

Mu Taotao was overwhelmed. Although she didn't know Mu Jiayin's specific identity, but considering the wealth of the Chen family, and looking at her elegant and determined demeanor, she was definitely a rich lady. Although she was a handyman, she was better than It is much better to continue to work hard with the construction team.

I didn't expect that I would be able to meet a noble person in such a desperate situation. Excited, Mu Taotao hurriedly got up and bowed to thank him, and promised again and again that he would work hard to do a good job in this promising career, and never let everyone down, etc. .

Yin Qingning hesitated to speak, Chen Mingyuan shook his head with a smile, that's all, let this strange woman train this troublemaker well.

…………

The night was dark, and after everyone dispersed, Mu Jiayin strolled alone in the neighborhood. After walking for a while, she saw a gentle man waiting quietly under the street lamp, but it was Shang Wenbin!

"I've kept you waiting, Brother Shang." Mu Jiayin walked up to him and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you to come here in person at night."

Shang Wenbin's spirit suddenly lifted, and he said respectfully: "It's okay, I planned to find a chance to visit you at first, if you have an order, just say it."

But Mu Jiayin sighed slightly, and said: "Brother Shang, as I said, you are older than me, so there is no need to use honorifics, and besides, you are now a member of the Standing Committee of a province, if this spreads, you and I will It's not a good face."

Shang Wenbin shook his head resolutely: "This can't be done, the rules can't be messed up. In my heart, you will always be my benefactor and noble person. As I said ten years ago, I sold my life to you."

Mu Jiayin suddenly smiled: "Do you still remember this old thing?"

"Of course." Shang Wenbin sighed: "At that time, I was full of scholarly spirit, and I wanted to plead for the people with great ambitions, but I offended people everywhere and made troubles on all sides. If you didn't happen to pass by and help me, I would I was framed by those corrupt officials and profiteers and imprisoned wrongly, so how can I get the high salary of the current high-ranking officials."

"Well, we were both young and frivolous at that time, and we liked to intervene when there were things we didn't like." Mu Jiayin smiled slightly: "However, your achievements today are mainly due to your own efforts. , I just introduced you to my family. If you are really grateful, you just need to do your job well. You, Wu Gang, and Qingxue are all close people supported by me. Of course I am I hope you can all make a big difference, so that you can save face for me."

Shang Wenbin solemnly agreed that at this moment, if outsiders were to see such a respectful attitude from the bottom of their hearts to a young woman from the majestic Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, they would be dumbfounded.

Only Shang Wenbin knows that this strange woman's identity, background and means are enough to make the whole Forty-Nine City dread and look sideways at her!

Immediately, Mu Jiayin talked about the cheating officer, and wrote lightly: "You should understand what I mean, please help me make this matter bigger, and give these local bureaucratic landlords a little memory."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Shang Wenbin nodded, although he knew that he might turn against Ji Mingtang and others because of this, but since it was Mu Jiayin's order, he would never say no!

After hesitating for a while, he glanced at the brightly lit building and said, "You want to stay here for a long time, old lady, do they know?"

Mu Jiayin said disapprovingly: "You know, that's the way it is. I've been traveling around all these years, and I don't see that they can control me."

Shang Wenbin was still worried: "But you and Chen Mingyuan..."

"Brother Shang, when did you become such a gossip."

Mu Jiayin crossed her arms, looked sideways at the house in the distance, and showed a world-renowned gentle smile in the night: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, but I think he is very interesting, everyone It’s all about making friends, no matter how many, that’s impossible.”
