"Beibei, you don't know, our family used to be unable to make ends meet, but after my sister-in-law came in, she straightened up the house, and opened several rouge and gouache shops with her natal sister-in-law in An County and several surrounding counties. There are several thousand taels in the account every month, plus my father's Junxiang and my brother's salary, our family is quite loose now." Qiao Qiongyan said again.

Seeing Qiao Qiongyan tell such secret things about the family, Bai Beibei was very speechless, after thinking about it, she told her: "Qiongyan, you can't just talk about things like this at home, it will cause trouble if people who care about you hear about it. .”

Qiao Qiongyan doesn't look like a 14-year-old girl like this. Sister Yuzhu is also as old as her, but she is steady and steady, and she doesn't need anyone to worry about her. But then again, Bo Beibei just likes Qiao Qiongyan's straightforward temperament.

"I'll just tell you." Qiao Qiongyan grinned.

After visiting the General's Mansion, it was almost dark, and when they returned to the hall, Mrs. Jiang was already waiting there.

"Are you tired from shopping? Let's take a break first, and we can have dinner right away." Jiang smiled brightly at Bo Beibei.

The conversation between Beibei and Qiao Qiongyan outside just now has reached Jiang's ears, and Jiang is more assured that Qiao Qiongyan and Bai Beibei will be on good terms. With a cautious person like Bai Beibei reminding Qiao Qiongyan, she also agrees. Can save a lot of heart.

A quarter of an hour later, several people moved to the dining room, and the servants had already laid out the dishes.

Looking at the cold salad with thousands of shreds and pork belly with thousands of knots, Jiang asked in surprise, "What are these two dishes?"

Before the cloth maid could answer, Qiao Qiongyan said first: "Sister-in-law, this is brought by Beibei, and it was made by her mother herself. This is cold salad with thousands of shreds, and this is pork belly with thousands of knots."

Hearing that it was Qianzhang, Jiang was even more surprised: "Is this Qianzhang?"

These thousands of sheets are well-known to the big families in An County. Jiang heard about them when he went out to socialize with those noble ladies. He didn't expect Beibei's mother to make these thousand sheets. Send them as souvenirs.

You know, those sister-in-law sisters used to only take advantage of Qiongyan and take advantage of her. When did Qiongyan get better than them?This is why Jiang shi was wary of Beibei at first.

This person doesn't know if he doesn't compare, but after comparing, it's clear at a glance who is sincere and who is fake.

"Beibei, you're hungry, sit down! Sit down!" Jiang's smile became more and more cordial.

"Mother, Miss—"

A soft and waxy voice sounded at the entrance of the dining room. When Bai Beibei looked back, it was a little boy with a thick head and a thick head.

As soon as Qiao Qiongyan saw the little boy, she immediately ran over to pick him up, turned around, and then pecked his little face: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss my aunt! Yier misses my aunt?"

Qiao Huaiyi put his small arms around Qiao Qiongyan's neck, and said with a smile, "Yi'er also misses aunt, where have you been, aunt?"

"Auntie went to the beach to play, next time Auntie will take you with me, okay?"

Qiao Huaiyi glanced at his mother and whispered, "No, Daddy will scold you."

When he went to find his mother last night, he saw that his father lost his temper with his mother.

Qiao Qiongyan was taken aback, then turned her head and looked at Jiang with guilt: "Sister-in-law, did my brother scold you? Is it because of me?"

"It's nothing!" Jiang walked over and carried his son, and put him on a special high stool.

Seeing her sister-in-law like this, Qiao Qiongyan knew that what Yier said was true. My brother always loved my sister-in-law very much and was never willing to let her be wronged. Only when things happened to her would my brother lose his temper with his sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!" Qiao Qiongyan felt very uncomfortable.

This is someone else's housework, and it's not easy for Bai Beibei to intervene, so he can only lower his head and treat himself as an invisible person.

"Okay, I'm fine now." Seeing his son sitting on a chair and staring at Beibei, Jiang smiled casually, and introduced, "Yi'er, this is Aunt Beibei, hurry up." Call someone."

"Hello, Aunt Beibei." Yi'er called obediently.

Bo Beibei raised her head and saw Yi'er staring at her with big black eyes, and the corners of her lips raised unconsciously: "Yi'er is so good."

Jiang held up the chopsticks and said to Bai Beibei: "Beibei, eat more, just treat this place as your own home, don't be polite."

"Understood, sister-in-law." Bai Beibei hooked her lips.

"Beibei, try this fried fungus shreds in sauce." Qiao Qiongyan picked up a chopsticks of shredded fungus fungus for Bai Beibei, and said tirelessly: "My cook's skills are much better than those of Hongfu Restaurant."

Bai Beibei smiled: "I really haven't eaten fried fungus shreds in sauce."

Bai Beibei said as he picked up a few strands of fungus and put them in his mouth, slowly tasting them.

The fried fungus in this sauce is slightly spicy. As soon as you eat it, the strong aroma of sauce mixed with the smell of fungus spreads on the tip of your tongue. After chewing lightly, the fungus is extremely crisp and refreshing, obviously it is the best fungus.

"The taste is really good." Bai Beibei said from the bottom of her heart. She used to think that the fungus had no taste, so she didn't like to eat it very much, but today the fungus was stir-fried with sauce, which lifted the taste of the fungus. It's true. It's very good.

Jiang said with a smile: "Master Rong made the sauce for the fried fungus himself. Everyone in our house likes this taste very much."

"Master Rong is what I told you last time, the cook who came out of the imperial dining room." Qiao Qiongyan explained.

"No wonder you can make shredded fungus so delicious!" Bai Beibei nodded.

"Beibei, if you like it, the chef will teach you how to make this sauce later, and then you can eat this dish at home." Qiao Qiongyan said.

"Will he teach me?" Bo Beibei doubted that the expressionless cook would teach his exclusive secret recipe to an outsider.

"Beibei, making this sauce is nothing to Master Rong. He has taught other people how to make this sauce before. Let my sister-in-law tell him, and he will teach you." Qiao Qiongyan said.

Bo Beibei looked at Jiang Shi suspiciously.

"Beibei, don't look at Master Rong who looks cold, but he is actually a nice person. He has no children and no one inherits his cooking skills, so he will be very happy if someone learns cooking skills from him, and he will tell you a thing or two. , but he doesn't teach everyone." Jiang said.

"What kind of person does Master Rong want to teach?" Beibei asked with some excitement.

"If he feels talented, he will let people learn from him."

Bei Bei, who was originally full of hope, wilted when she heard the word "talent". She couldn't even grasp the oil, salt and seasoning. Where did the talent come from? It seemed that her plan to ask Master Rong for advice was in vain.

Qiao Qiongyan didn't notice Beibei's mood, and gave Yi'er and Jiang each a chopstick with a thousand pieces of knotted pork belly, and said, "Sister-in-law, Yi'er, try this thousand pieces of knotted pork belly."
