Chapter 333 Chapter 336

Shen Mu and the two of them didn't expect her reaction to be so intense, and they were taken aback. Xu Ziling hurriedly said, "Miss Xiaojuan misunderstood. Xiaoning just said that the host or thought that we were not taught enough, so she asked us to lecture again."

Xiaojuan was dubious, and said solemnly: "Remember not to show any disrespect to the owner, otherwise no one will be able to save you."

The two had no choice but to nod.Xiaojuan said in a low voice: "If you really dare to speak ill of the owner behind his back, I will ignore you from now on."

When Shen Mu and Xu Ziling arrived outside the "Flying Horse Pavilion" where Shang Xiuxun handled the ranch's affairs, the beautiful farm owner was talking to the chief steward Shang Zhen and the four deacons including Liu Zongdao.There were more than a dozen men and women standing in the courtyard outside the Xuan, the deputy housekeepers Liang Qian and Lan Gu were two of them.

When everyone saw the two coming with Xiaojuan, they all showed attention.Lan Gu even whispered to one of the men, obviously talking about them.

A well-proportioned, demure, dignified, and beautiful girl greeted the three of them and frowned, "Why did you come so late? I don't know how embarrassing it is when the host is urging people."

After Xiaojuan explained the reason, she introduced: "This is Sister Fu!"

The two hurriedly saluted, secretly praising Luo Fangyan for being a blessing, let alone expecting her to have such a status in the ranch at such a young age.

Sister Fu looked at the two of them for a few moments, her pretty eyes flashed the surprised expression, and she was about to speak when a man guarding the door sang, "Bring the two pastry masters!"

Sister Fu ordered in a low voice: "Follow me, be careful what you say."

They couldn't help being a little nervous, and followed her to the threshold.

I saw that the hall is full of finely carved furniture. There are three marble large reclining chairs in the middle, two pairs of marble round screen chairs symmetrically from east to west, together with coffee tables, flower tables, etc., which make the atmosphere solemn and solemn.

Shang Xiuxun half-lyed on the couch, dressed in men's attire, and wore a hat that hid her hair, but it was still difficult to conceal her natural beauty.

The chief steward, Shang Zhen, sat on the first chair on her right, and the second person at the bottom was Liu Zongdao, and the other two deacons were on the other side.

The three first gave way to an old man who came out of the hall, and then Miss Fu saluted: "The two young masters are here." Then she said in a low voice: "You are newcomers, you cannot cross the threshold." Then she backed away for a while side.

Shen Mu and the two had no choice but to lean outside the threshold to salute, which felt strange.

Shang Xiuxun was drinking tea with his head down, and Shang Zhen was puffing out his pipe. The second deacon Liu Zongdao smiled back, but the eyes of the other three deacons were like sharp arrows shooting at them.

Chief Deacon Liang Zhiwu has a short stature and is in his forties, but he has a beautiful black beard, his eyes are shining brightly, and his temples are bulging. Just by looking at his appearance, he can tell that he is a master of both internal and external cultivation.

The third deacon, Tao Shusheng, was a tall, middle-aged man, but he had a pair of goat-like eyes, which made his appearance unattractive.

On the contrary, the fourth deacon Wu Zhaoru was young and handsome, with a fair complexion like a girl, but compared with the unique physiques of Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, he immediately looked very vulgar.

The reactions of the three of them were rather indifferent, as if they just nodded to the courtesy of the two of them just to give Liu Zongdao some face.

Shang Xiuxun put down his teacup, picked up a few things like an account book, looked down, and said absently, "Aside from pastries, what else do you know?"

Everyone, including Sister Fu, was stunned. They never expected that the owner, who has always been shrewd, would ask two people to ask such trifles.

Shen Mu lowered his hands and replied respectfully: "I know a little bit about everything."

The third deacon Tao Shusheng scolded: "Idiots! The host is asking you what special skills you have besides pastries? Do you understand?"

Wu Zhaoruxian shared his nostrils with Tao Shusheng, mockingly said with a smile: "Maybe they are good at everything!"

Xu Ziling didn't have anything to say, but Shen Mu wanted to drag them out and beat them up, but right now he could only swallow the breath with a "grunt".

Shang Xiuxun was still concentrating on the book, and seemed to be unable to hear anyone else's words. After a while, he slowly said: "There will be distinguished guests from the north tonight, and the northerners love to eat barbecue and bacon. stuff, do you know how to do it?"

Shen Mu nodded and said: "There is no problem with barbecued meat and smoked meat, please tell me which kind of meat to get."

Shang Xiuxun said casually, "Just bacon!"

The head deacon Liang Zhi coughed dryly and said: "It's not that I can't trust you, but that the status of the guests is very important, and they are also a noble family, and they are very particular about food. As long as you are poor in this respect, you will become a gangster, so Can you tell us how to make the bacon first?"

Shang Xiuxun finally raised her head, looked at them with her beautiful eyes, and agreed: "That's right! Come and listen to me."

Shen Mu knew well that Liang Zhi and others were doubting their identities, and said lightly: "The most important thing is to adjust the taste of bacon. It needs to be served on old fire with pepper, cinnamon, cloves, amomum, cardamom, soybeans, Garlic, fresh ginger, soy bean curd and sweet noodle sauce, the finished product can have a bright color, and is fragrant and delicious. The second is the method of smoking. First, the selected meat is mixed with the sauce in the pot, and then smoked with cypress wood , the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, the outside and the inside are consistent, the mouth is fat but not greasy, thin and not sticky, and the flavor is unique."

The big housekeeper, Shang Zhen, moved the pipe away, and said emotionally: "Sure enough, he is a generation with real talents and real learning, not a fool."

Shen Mu secretly laughed in his heart, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Chief Steward."

Shang Xiuxun was noncommittal, looked down at the book again, and said casually: "In addition to being in charge of this dish tonight, you also need to make some desserts. Back off!"

When Shen Mu and the two returned to the dining room, they were both a little dumbfounded, unexpectedly Shang Xiuxun went to find them in a grand and solemn place, just to talk about such trivial matters.

But this had an unexpected side effect, because Lan Gu didn't know Shang Xiuxun's attitude towards them, she immediately became much friendlier, and after asking for the required materials, she immediately went to collect them for them.

Once all the materials were ready, the two of them were too busy.At dusk, smoked fish and crispy fish are on the scene.

Xiao Juan and Sister Fu came to visit at this time, and said: "The host told me that although you will be waiting at the banquet, when necessary, I will introduce you to Jiangnan's delicacies, understand?"

Xu Ziling didn't like excitement, let alone being a servant sent by others, he pretended to be tired and said, "We've been busy all day and we're exhausted, can we be spared this job?"

Xiaojuan said with a smile: "What is half a battle? Do you think you are going to fight? The owner of the field thinks highly of you, so he is willing to let you go to see the scene. What the owner said is the golden rule. Anyone who violates orders will be beheaded. Be clear!"

Sister Fu smiled sweetly and said, "There is no one in the ranch who likes to play tricks like the two of you. Quickly grab something and follow me. The farmer wants to try it first!"

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling stood respectfully at the table, staring intently at the beautiful farm owner Shang Xiuxun, who was equally as beautiful as Houhou, picked up a piece of smoked fish, and brought it to her fragrant lips, eating it in her unique way, revealing the whiteness of shellfish With white teeth, he took a delicate bite, and began to chew carefully with a slight frown on his eyebrows.

Sister Fu and Xiaojuan, who were standing on the other side of the table, also became nervous, fearing that she would be dissatisfied, so they drove them away from the pasture.

Shang Xiuxun glanced at the two of them, and suddenly bit off a big bite out of embarrassment, and began to chew happily, with an incomparably touching expression.

Shen Mu pretended to be modest and said, "Is it okay?"

Shang Xiuxun rolled her beautiful eyes, but she still refused to look him in the eye, and said with a "huh", "It's better than your strange cakes. Ah! No! It can't be compared, you don't want to be pastry chefs in the future! "

Xu Ziling said respectfully: "The host, please try the crispy and crispy dish before deciding?"

Shang Xiuxun glanced at him, and when Xu Ziling with such high concentration felt the soul-stirring force of her two autumn waters, she reluctantly put down the smoked fish, grabbed a crispy piece, quickly took a bite, and immediately moved Said: "Did you really do it?"

Shen Mu smiled and said: "Naturally, cooking skills are like drawing and painting, which can only be written with the intention, and more importantly, we need to study. If the owner of the restaurant can give us more free time for self-study, the things we make will be even better."

Shang Xiuxun turned her pretty face away, her beautiful eyes glanced at Shen Mu, she slowly put down the shortbread, leaned towards the back of the chair, closed her beautiful eyes and said: "Look at the two of you who are as strong as horses, with a strong body, Have you ever learned martial arts?"

Xiaojuan hurriedly winked at the two and told them to be careful when speaking.

Shen Mu said: "A little bit..."

Shang Xiuxun nodded slightly, at this time the chief housekeeper Shang Zhen came in from the hall and reported: "The guests are coming soon."

Shang Xiuxun stood up gracefully, and said to Sister Fu: "Teach these two boys the rules in the house, don't be rude to outsiders."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling sat in the corridor built around the house behind the main house, enjoying the preferential treatment given to them by Sister Fu.

Not long after, Xiaojuan said to the two: "The owner of the farm wants you to serve the guests in the main hall immediately and explain the method of making smoked fish."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling walked boldly into the main hall, and glanced at the banquet in the middle of the hall, which was full of people, through the screen of flowers.

Sister Fu was taken aback when she saw this, she opened her hand to block the way for the two to escape, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing? I wonder if the host and guests are waiting for you?"

Shen Mu smiled apologetically, and said in a low voice: "The two of us ate something wrong together just now, so now we have to go to the latrine to have diarrhea together, advance and retreat together, please be kind and convenient, Sister Fu."

Sister Fu was angry, funny and worried, stomped her feet and said, "Don't mess around, you have to bear it for a while. Hmph! Ghosts will believe your nonsense, get out of here, or the family law will serve you."

Xu Ziling couldn't pretend to be a hero, so he pleaded: "Xiao Ning's words are indeed nonsense. We are actually not used to big scenes, and now we are so scared that we have diarrhea. Why don't Sister Fu tell the host, so we don't lose money?" Her face."

Before Elder Sister Fu had a chance to sternly reprimand her, Shang Xiuxun's silvery voice came over and said, "Xiao Ning, Xiao Jing, what are you two doing there? Hurry up to see the distinguished guests, Princess Xiu Ning appreciates your smoked fish, I still want you to be my master!"

At this time, even Shen Mu was regretting that he would never change it, and changed his name to Xiao Ning, but now he regretted it, and he was riding a tiger. After Sister Fu pushed it down hard, the two stepped out of the screen bravely. outside.

Under the eyes of everyone, they were as embarrassed and unbearable as if they were walking naked in the busy city.

"what!"

Li Xiuning's sweet cry came to their ears, and the two of them knew that she had recognized them, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads.

The six most important people from Pegasus Ranch were present tonight, because the one who came was Li Xiuning, the daughter of Tang Wang Li Yuan and Li Shimin's sister.

The attention of the four major deacons, Shang Xiuxun, Shang Zhen, and Liang Zhi, were all focused on Shen Mu, and they couldn't help looking at Li Xiuning in amazement when they heard the yelling.

Li Gang and Dou Wei, who accompanied Li Xiuning, didn't know them. Seeing that Li Xiuning, who was always gentle and quiet, cried out coquettishly for the two pastry chefs, she was also at a loss.

Li Xiuning's astonishment was fleeting, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Please forgive Xiuning's disrespect, because I didn't expect the two masters to be so young."

At this time, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling came to the side of the table, facing Li Xiuning, and stood with their hands down in a daze.

Li Xiuning returned to her usual elegant and quiet demeanor, and smiled at Shang Xiuxun on the right: "What are the names of the two masters?"

Shang Zhendai, who was sitting on her left, replied: "One is named Fu Ning and the other is named Fu Jing, they are brothers from the same village."

He didn't point out which one was Fu Jing and which one was Fu Ning, which showed that he had no respect for them.

Li Xiuning recited "Fu Ning" twice in her mind, her pretty face suddenly flushed slightly, obviously she had realized it.This change is not significant, and no one else can notice it.

Shang Xiuxun smiled and said: "Xiao Ning, Princess Xiu Ning, Li Gang and Dou Wei are all full of praise for your smoked fish, and they are regarded as the best in the world. I don't want to thank you for your appreciation."

Shen Mu smiled wryly in his heart, but reluctantly bowed to thank him.

Li Gang is a shrewd person, seeing Shen Mu's outstanding appearance is rare in the world.Among the people I know, only Li Shimin can be compared.He tentatively said: "With Master Xiaoning's qualifications, no matter which industry he chooses, he will definitely be able to stand out. Why do you only love cooking?"

Shen Mu said indifferently: "This is called time and fate. If there is peace and prosperity, I may try to gain fame and do some good things for the common people."

Dou Wei was surprised and said: "Little master speaks well, with deep meaning in his words, but why is his tone so cold? Is there something sad about the past?"

Seeing Shang Xiuxun staring at his beautiful eyes with a pensive expression, Shen Mu hurriedly said: "Before I entered the hall just now, I was idle talking about the old things about my hometown being devastated by the flames of war, so I felt touched, Lord Dou, please don't take offense. "

Li Gang nodded and said to everyone in the audience: "The world is in chaos, and the people who bear the brunt of it are always the common people. Just like the popularization of private coining now, it has caused great damage to the livelihood of the common people. Originally, a thousand coins weighed two catties, but now private coins are minted." One thousand coins is less than one catty, and even pieces of iron and parchment are used as copper coins. If this situation continues, I don’t know what will happen.”

The second deacon Liu Zong interjected: "As long as the Great Tang can rule the world, the evils will be eradicated, and the world will be peaceful."

Li Gang looked at Shang Xiuxun and said with a chuckle, "This is only possible with the help of the owner."

Shang Xiuxun was noncommittal, turned his wonderful eyes, and said to Li Xiuning who was sitting silently: "Didn't the princess want to ask Xiaoning about the method of making smoked fish?"

Li Xiuning said as if waking up from a dream: "Xiu Ning has thought about it! It is best to go to the dining room tomorrow and practice with Master Xiao Ning."

The fourth deacon Wu Zhaoru's eyes flashed with jealousy, and he suggested: "If Princess Xiuning has no time to clone, I can ask him to write down the recipe in detail, that's the way."

Li Xiuning took a look at Shen Mu who was bowing his head, and insisted: "It's better for Xiuning to ask Master Xiao Ning personally for advice!"

Shang Xiuxun smiled faintly: "Let's do as the princess wants!" Turning to Shen Mu, he said: "You can go back and rest."

The next day, Shang Xiuxun and Li Xiuning came hand in hand along the corridor, surprisingly there were no other followers.Shang Xiuxun was still dressed in a warrior uniform, wearing a feather hat, charming and heroic.

Li Xiuning is surprisingly simple, with a pure white skirt and jacket paired with a small vest with blue flowers and yellow ground, she looks lovely and charming.This beauty is like Song Yuzhi, she has the unique noble and charming temperament of a woman from a high family background, which can make any man feel ashamed.

Under the background of the sunshine in the sky outside the corridor, the two women are even more glamorous, and they seem to have some kind of strange endowment beyond the ordinary.

Shen Mu and the two of them were stunned for a moment.

The two women Yingying came in front of them, Li Xiuning smiled generously and said, "I'm sorry! I'm tired of waiting for you two masters!"
