self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 54

Mei Da took the post, feeling extremely upset, and glanced at Gao Bingyi: "Where are they staying?"

Gao Bingyi hurriedly said: "Gu Yongcheng, who lives not far from Jufeng Building, came to vote. Ge Shunsheng heard that he had settled down at a relative's house. I asked my clerk to follow him. It was the third courtyard at the entrance of Lama Lane. At the entrance of the alley was a A long pastry stand."

Mei Da's eyes flickered, and Gao Bingyi asked Gouzi to come over.

After a while Gouzi came over, Mei Da dragged him aside to talk, An Ran couldn't help feeling a little depressed, and felt more and more that Gou Zi was not like her apprentice, who obeyed Mei Da's words, seeing that he was about to run away, An Ran called him to stop he.

Gouzi stood still: "Master, you called me."

An Ran glanced at Mei Da: "You still know that I am your master." Gouzi scratched his head and smiled: "Master, what you said, Shunzi and I have kowtowed to the master's kitchen knife, how can we say that?" If there are fake ones, Master, please stay at home, I have serious business, and I will honor the master when I finish my work later." Putting down the words, he ran away.

Hearing Mei Da's low smile, An Ran couldn't help giving him a blank look: "The dog is still young, you asked him to do something, it's mysterious."

Mei Da took her hand and looked at her for a while, then wrote on her hand: "It's your apprentice who can't run away, don't worry, I won't fight you, the dog is from Qizhou, and he has been running around the city since he was a child, Daoer Cooked, Mr. Qian'er didn't say he wanted to eat longevity cakes, I'll let him go for a while."

An Ran looked at him dubiously, always felt that the man's words were not trustworthy, and sometimes An Ran wondered how she thought he was an honest person before, and the more she looked at him, the more dishonest she became.

Seeing the little girl staring at her, Mei Da nodded her nose: "What are you doing looking at me like this, you don't even recognize your own man?"

An Ran blushed, turned her face away and ran away.

Mei Da, on the other hand, pondered on the spot for a while, wondering if she had revealed something, and she had to be more careful in the future, this girl is not stupid, if she really wants to see her flaws, the half a year of her painstaking efforts will be in vain If I don't say anything, I'm afraid that this girl will run to some deep mountain and old forest in a fit of anger, and she won't be able to find it even if she wants to.

Mei Da knew that this girl was a daring thief, so there was no place she didn't dare to go, but in Lama Lane, this Ge Shunsheng didn't live in the inn, but went to live in Lama Lane, it was not an easy matter.

Ge Shunsheng was Han Zizhang's apprentice before he became the imperial cook, and he was much closer than the last two. After Han Zizhang became the imperial cook, Ge Shunsheng also took care of some things in the imperial dining room.

The imperial dining room is poorly fat, and even if it touches the edges, it will be fat and oily. What's more, Ge Shunsheng is still in charge. He is no longer a poor little cook who just came to Beijing. He has money in his hands. , I finally left my master and came to Qizhou City. I was having fun, and ran to Lama Lane to do something. There must be something going on here.

Gouzi just came back in the late night, and he really had a pack of longevity cakes in his hand, handed it to An Ran, and ran to the back to find Mei Da.

Mei Da was building a bean stand. An Ran felt that it was unnecessary to set up a stand so early. It would take two months for the beans to grow. Head, An Ran thought that she would spend her whole life here.

lifetime?Thinking of these three words, An Ran felt sweet in her heart, she shouldn't think about it, Mei Da is a good man, at least ten thousand times better than An Jiamu, gentle and considerate, understanding, and able to bear hardships and stand hard work, many things You don't need to say it yourself, it's already done, the most important thing is that they like each other, they hit it off, and they should be able to live happily in the future.

Even though I was still a little unsettled, I began to look forward to my future married life, and to traveling the world with Mei Da. This was something I didn't even dare to think about before, but now it's about to come true, and I'm still blind Thinking about something.

However, what did Mei Da ask Gou Zi to do? No matter how stupid she was, she knew that it was not as simple as buying longevity cakes. Could it be related to the two apprentices from Han Zizhang?

But Mei Da really made An Ran talk. It was the first time to arrange his own home, which made him feel fresh. He used to be busy with business, so home didn’t mean much to him. , Therefore, most of the year is outside, and I don't like staying in the mansion very much, but now I am full of interest in this small courtyard.

It also made him understand that when he was with the person he liked, even such a boring thing would be very interesting, so he never got tired of it, even more excited than An Ran, even Wang Gui and Mei Da let him go up.

If it wasn't for the fear that the little girl would be tired, he wouldn't even want to find someone to take care of him. In such a small courtyard, he and the little girl are the only two people who are good. When he saw the dog, he put down the bamboo pole in his hand and washed it in the basin over there. Wash your hands and come over.

On the porch bench was the tea that the little girl had just brought over. I was afraid it would be cold, so I put it in a warm cover, and poured it out to take a sip. The temperature was just right. It wasn’t good tea, but it had a refreshing jasmine fragrance. If I drank too much, I felt quite uncomfortable. Delicious.

Glancing at Gouzi: "Can you hear it?"

Gouzi nodded, remembering what he had seen, his black face couldn't help but blush, all the people living in Lama Lane were carters who pulled their feet, and the market near Furong Street had a cow harnessed to a cart. To earn a living.

Coincidentally, Gouzi just ran into an acquaintance when he passed by. The old man who was selling pork heads at the gate of the city saw him very happy. He talked for a long time and asked him why he didn't go to sell pork heads. up.

Hearing that Gouzi said that he went to learn how to be a chef, he laughed and patted him twice: "It's good to be a cook. Now our Dayan's life is peaceful, and the restaurants on the street are busier than each other. Long live God also holds an imperial chef once a year." After a competition, if you have learned the craft, will you have a great future in the future, then ask him what he is doing here?"

Gouzi casually told a lie to fool him, and saw a tall and thick man coming out of the courtyard that Uncle Shi said, he was pulling a car out of the alley, and he said hello to the uncle who was pulling his feet when he passed by.

After the man left, Gouzi asked, "Uncle, do you know this guy?"

The uncle who pulled his feet thought of something, and couldn't help saying bitterly: "Learning to be a cook is a good thing. After you learn the craft, you can marry a wife and live a good life. Don't have nothing to worry about other people's daughter-in-law, stealing chickens and dogs."

Gouzi was taken aback for a moment, and then he wanted to ask again. The uncle who pulled his feet probably felt that he was too young to say anything to him, so he left with a sigh.

Gouzi rolled his eyes, looked at the yard over there, and went around to the back. Behind him was a quiet alley, and an old elm tree was planted by the back wall. Gouzi looked around and saw no one there. I climbed up immediately, sat on the fork of the elm tree, and looked into the yard, my face flushed immediately.

Although Gouzi is only eleven, because his father is gone and his mother is sick, he ran around all over the place in the past two years, in order to get some money to treat his mother, he has never done anything, the easiest job to make money It is to give things to the girls in the kilns on Huajie, such as rouge and gouache, flowers on the head, and even handkerchiefs.

As soon as those kiln sisters heard a peddler hawking, they took half of their bodies out of the window and yelled for something. A few dollars is the best way to make money.

Those who can look at the goods of the shopkeeper are naturally not very decent, they are all the worst kilns, and the customers are rough men with no money, and they don't pay attention to them. In the small cubicle, there is no sound insulation at all. If there is someone who can't wait, the door is not closed. When the dog runs all the way up, he can always see several pairs of naked buttocks rolling on the kang, barking louder than the cat outside the window in Kaichun. Terrible panic.

Even so, I didn't see it being done in the barn in the yard in such a clear day and day. The angle of the dog was just facing the barn. Fortunately, there were branches to cover it. I guess even if it wasn't there, the hot men and women who were beating below would not be seen. Own.

Gouzi couldn't listen anymore, fearing that the two of them would find out, he climbed back to the wall and still huddled in the tree. When it was getting dark, he saw the man at noon coming back, leading the animals to the shed, and the wife dusted him off. , the man also asked: "Where is my cousin?"

The man who had been working with his wife for a long time came out, and Gouzi took a look at him. He was wearing a satin robe, but he looked very similar. He exchanged a few words with the man, saying that he had a dinner party.

Gouzi followed him all the way from afar, saw him enter the guest to vote, and came out after a while, and it was Gu Yongcheng he had seen by his side, so he had a clue in his heart, and just came back to deliver a letter to Mei Da.

When Mei Da heard this, he nodded secretly, and as expected, he said why Ge Shunsheng ran into Lama Alley because he was greedy for adultery, so it would be much easier to deal with him.

The post Gao Bingyi sent said that three days later, because Fuchun Residence was still under renovation, they made an appointment for Jufeng Building.

An Ran didn't want to go at first, but Mr. Qian's family came over in person, and they kept talking, An Ran thought that he didn't dare to offend Han Zizhang.

Mr. Qian Shichen liked the cloth bag chicken very much, and specially recommended him to enter the imperial dining room. Although Jufenglou is a time-honored brand that has been passed down for a hundred years, it has never been an imperial chef. Now that his son has become an imperial chef, it is really a fight for his ancestors The face made Qian Hong very happy. For this matter, Jufeng Tower had set up running water seats for a whole day. When Qian Shichen entered the imperial dining room, he naturally didn't dare to offend Han Zizhang, so he came to invite him in person. Give it a face.

What's more, the post was well written, discussing cooking skills, and didn't talk about competitions. My husband also said: "If you use the word "comparison", if you don't go, you will look petty." Therefore, An Ran came to get together with Mr. Mei early this morning. Feng Lou.

Before we got there, I couldn't help being shocked, there were more people than the last culinary competition in Yanzhou Mansion, and there were people around the inner and outer third floors of Jufeng Building.

An Ran: "Why are there so many people?"

Mr. Mei laughed: "It's really lively. It seems that the people in Qizhou City want to see your girl's cooking skills with their own eyes. Is it as amazing as the rumors outside?"

An Ran couldn't help saying: "In the end, it's just cooking."

Mr. Mei shook his head: "No, no, other cooks are called dishes, you girl is really enjoying it, but some people may not like it."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mei Da, this kid wished he could hide An Ran, but this girl is not one who can hide, so naturally he would not be happy in his heart, when Mr. Mei thought of the stinky face under that mask, he would He couldn't help but feel happy, now he still remembers how fearless the boy was when he stopped his sedan chair, after so many years of being domineering, it was really not easy to finally have a girl who could restrain him.

Mei Da glanced at him, knowing that the old man wanted to laugh at her, but, thinking about it today, he couldn't do it as he wished.

Qian Hong came out to greet each other, Qian Hong said with a smile: "Sir, you won't come to Jufeng Lou for some days, since Fuchunju opened, you don't care about our time-honored brands."

The fan in Mr. Mei's hand shook: "Your Jufenglou eight-treasure bag chicken, old man, I have eaten it for many years, and I am not happy that I am tired of eating it. Besides, don't look at your kid becoming an imperial chef. In terms of culinary skills, it is far behind."

Qian Hong was not annoyed: "What you said is serious. With Ms. An in front of you, who can catch your eyes?" Looking at An Ran, he said in a low voice, "Ge Shunsheng's cooking skills are not bad, especially Bei Cai. It’s extremely authentic, and it’s good at drawing silk in one pot, even the emperor once praised it, so be careful, girl.”

Draw silk out of a pot?She wanted to see and see.

In order for Jufeng Building to be closed for one day today, all the tables and chairs in the lobby on the first floor were moved out, and the kitchen table was set up last night. The magistrate of Yanzhou came early, nodded with An Ran, and sat down to talk with Mr. Mei went.

As soon as An Ran came, the owners of the time-honored brand in Qizhou surrounded her and greeted An Ran one after another. Miss An, Miss An's voices were heard endlessly.

Gu Yongcheng was stunned when An Ran came in just now. Although it was rumored outside that this girl An could not help cooking, and her appearance was also exceptional, Gu Yongcheng never took it seriously. He wondered how could there be any beauties in the kitchen industry, just one of those cooks Sai Yi is ugly, especially if he is good at craftsmanship. Could it be that he is big and rough, looks like a man more than himself, and is in trouble every day.

But I didn't expect that Miss An is really a beauty. There are the most beauties in the palace. I follow the master in the imperial dining room. I have never seen any beauties. Especially, during the cooking competition every year, the emperor and the harem concubine The concubines would come to watch the excitement, and any of the maids in front of the concubines were rare beauties, but today, Miss An really surprised me.

She was dressed quite simply, with a green shirt and white skirt, her hair in a big braid, and the only jewelry on her body was a pair of simple and crude silver bracelets on her wrists. It is even more like a spring breeze.

However, it's getting late, so why hasn't senior brother come yet?Although it's a cooking competition, everyone knows it's a competition, and it's to get back some face for the master and the second senior brother. The master is the best chef in the world, and he lost to the cooks of the Southern School twice in a row, which is really not good.

There are many rumors in Beijing now, saying that the chef's cooking skills are far inferior to Zheng Chunyang's before him. When he comes out as an apprentice, he can compare with the chefs of the Northern School. Needless to say, I know.

Especially after the second senior brother went back, the rumors were even more fierce, saying everything. For now, the only way to win the game is to win this girl An.

However, if Miss An's previous competition with the second senior brother was all real skills, then the senior senior brother might give it to him in vain. I am very curious, how can such a big little girl be so good at cooking? .

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to come over.

Seeing him coming, Qian Hong said to An Ran: "Ms. An is Han Yuchu's apprentice, Chef Gu. I heard that she made several Sichuan dishes a few years ago, and His Royal Highness shouted authentically. This Gu The chef is a native of Shu."

Gu Yongcheng was taken aback for a moment: "Miss, can you cook our Sichuan dishes?"

An Ran nodded: "I know a thing or two, but it's a pity that many Sichuan spices are not available here, and even if they are made, they are just similar in shape, and it is difficult to make the essence of Sichuan cuisine."

Gu Yongcheng raised his eyebrows: "Miss An really has a lot of knowledge. I didn't know the cuisine of our Sichuan until I arrived in the Central Plains. The Central Plains knows very little. There are only north and south in the kitchen. Jiangnan is the most important thing, and there is not a single dish from our Sichuan region on the imperial meal. Speaking of it, I can’t help but make people feel emotional. No wonder when I was in Sichuan, I often heard people say that the cooks in the Central Plains look down on our Sichuan cooks , said that the dishes in our Sichuan region can’t be put on the table, what does the girl think?”

An Ran smiled: "In the eyes of my master, there has never been a distinction between factions. There is a southern faction and a northern faction. All the kitchens in the world belong to the same family. As for the dishes of Sichuan, it's not that they can't be put on the table, but that there are too few people who know them. It is said that the technique of northern cuisine is the most difficult, but the seasoning of Sichuan cuisine is even more difficult. There are records of Sichuan cuisine a long time ago, but later the Great Yan established the capital in the Central Plains, and the road to Shu was difficult, and it was not easy to get in and out. You know, it’s only getting worse day by day, and to tell you the truth, Chef Gu, I like Sichuan cuisine in every way, with all kinds of dishes and all kinds of flavors.”

Gu Yongcheng murmured: "One dish, one dish, one dish, one hundred dishes, one hundred flavors, the girl is really amazing, this sentence truly expresses the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine." I couldn't help but look at An Ran again, no wonder the old owners of Yanzhou Mansion are respectful to such a little girl Plus, I didn't see her cooking skills with my own eyes, and this insight is also admirable.

Just about to ask her about Sichuan cuisine again, Mr. Mei said: "What time is it? Han Yuchu, a high-ranking apprentice, is really arrogant."

As soon as the master finished his sentence, he saw Zhou Dahu running in, came to him, and hurriedly said: "My lord, there was a murder case in Lama Lane this morning." As he spoke, he looked at Gu Yongcheng, hesitant to speak.

Everyone was stunned, wondering what the murder in Rama Lane had to do with this culinary discussion?
Liang Zisheng was also taken aback: "First take the key criminal and put him in the prison, and wait for the officer to go back and investigate carefully. Let's step back now."

"Returning to my lord's words, according to the testimonies of the people in the neighborhood, this murder case is probably inseparable from Ge Shunsheng, a senior apprentice of Han Yuchu."

Liang Zisheng was startled, and stood up abruptly: "What are you talking about? How can you have anything to do with Chef Ge?"

Zhou Dahu hurriedly said: "The man who died was a sloppy man. I somehow discovered the adulterous relationship between my wife and Ge Shunsheng early this morning. I got angry and started to fight. He was chopped on the head by Ge Shunsheng's kitchen knife and died. That man His mother-in-law has already been locked up and detained, but Ge Shunsheng jumped the wall and ran away, and she is nowhere to be seen now."

Liang Zisheng felt his scalp tense, fearing that something might happen, and something would happen. This murder case is no small matter. Under the eyes of everyone, Ge Shunsheng's murder case was really committed to him, and he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to. That's all, the problem is that Ge Shunsheng still has Han Zizhang behind him.

If it was handled impartially, taking Ge Shunsheng would be the crime of beheading. If so, I am afraid that I will offend Han Zizhang. Although Han Zizhang is an imperial cook, but if I make a stumbling block for myself, my official career may end. Ge Shunsheng is not Liu Cheng. But the trouble was so big that it was impossible for him to let the water go.

The more I think about it, the more my head hurts, and I can't help cursing Han Zizhang in my heart, what kind of apprentices are they taking, one is more bastard than the other, Cui Qing is a licentious person, and this Ge Shunsheng can't even get on the stage, you say you can be regarded as an imperial cook anyway, and you can still The lack of women is not enough, how many do you want to find? You have to worry about what other people's wives do, and you have to go all the way to Qizhou to do such a thing. I guess Han Zizhang is not a good person, otherwise how can he teach such an apprentice? Come.

When everyone heard this letter, they were blown up, and started whispering, scolding Ge Shunsheng for being an idiot for doing such an inhumane thing, and while talking, they rolled their eyes at Gu Yongcheng.

Gu Yongcheng never thought that such a thing would happen. The two of them had just entered the Qizhou mansion a few days ago, and they said that visitors would come to live in them, but Ge Shunsheng ignored him and asked him to come here by himself, saying that he was going to visit a relative and would come to find him. , disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Cooperating with this relative is a fake, it turned out to be an adulterous affair, and even killed someone, even if he ran away, the murder case is here, where can he go, he might have to implicate the master, his brows were tightly frowned, and he disappeared for a while idea.

Qian Hong glanced at him: "Chef Gu's discussion today..."

Gu Yongcheng's complexion changed, and he cupped his hands at Anran: "I have to talk to the girl, so I can clear my mind. With such knowledge, I think the girl's cooking skills are even more exquisite. If I have a chance in the future, I will ask the girl for advice, brother." Something happened, so I will take my leave today." Then he turned and wanted to leave.

But Mei Da snorted coldly: "I want to go, your senior brother committed such a murder, you are his junior brother, so it is impossible to guarantee that you are not an accomplice."

Gu Yongcheng's face changed instantly, and An Ran gently pulled Mei Da. Although Gu Yongcheng is Han Zizhang's apprentice, but following his words and deeds, people really can't hate him. Besides, Ge Shunsheng did this, so what does it have to do with him? Isn't this a crime of desire?

Mr. Mei shook his fan: "This old man has really seen it. He dared to take a knife to hurt someone's life in broad daylight. Is there any law in this eye? I don't know who gave him such courage. As the apprentice of the imperial chef, you can do whatever you want."

Looking at Liang Zisheng: "Master Liang, as the magistrate of Yanzhou, you are the official of one of the parents. For such a murder case, why don't you quickly send documents to the sea to arrest the murderer? Can't you wait for him to run away? People related to the case, etc. It needs to be brought back for careful questioning, and the truth will come out after the trial.”

Liang Zisheng was excited, and took a look at Gu Yongcheng: "Chef Gu is related to the murder case, I'm sorry, you should go to the government office first, if it really has nothing to do with you, it will not be too late to return to Beijing."

Gu Yongcheng's face changed several times, so he had to follow Liang Zisheng away.

A culinary competition ended before it even started, and the common people watching the bustle outside were disappointed and had to leave. The bosses looked at me and I looked at you, and said that Han Zizhang's apprentice really opened their eyes. They co-authored a bastard one by one, and it was a good time to compare their cooking skills, but they had an adulterous affair and even killed someone, even if Han Zizhang was afraid, it would be hard to get rid of it.

Mr. Mei glanced at Mei Da, and said in a low voice: "This matter is really strange to say, even if this Ge Shunsheng is not successful, it will not be discovered by others, Mei Da, you said that what the old man said is true." ?”

Mr. Mei didn't say a word, and dragged An Ran away. Mr. Mei couldn't help shaking his head, thinking whether he should write an elegiac couplet for Han Zizhang in advance. Thoughts, that is, thinking about how to die.

However, this girl An Ran is the apprentice of old man Zheng, and due to Han Zizhang's grievances with old man Zheng, sooner or later she has to confront this girl, without Mei Da's intervention before, maybe Han Zizhang can still be proud for a few years, but now it is difficult.

Speaking of which, old man Zheng really knows how to accept apprentices, not to mention such an upstanding one as soon as he accepts him, and he also sent a son-in-law who is very capable. It would be a good thing for me to walk around hand in hand with the old man.

Even for this, I have to help this kid, just cheat, anyway, this kid knows how to love his wife and protect his wife, even if he finds out in the future, it's a done deal, and it's a good marriage. It's about accumulating virtue. Isn't there a saying that it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage?

Therefore, Mr. Mei is not a good bird. It is really unlucky for An Ran to meet these people. Afterwards, when the truth came out, An Ran almost died of anger.

However, Mei Da is the one who is angry now. Sometimes An Ran really doesn't understand men's thoughts, so she just said something for Gu Yongcheng, why did she go all the way back to the small courtyard from Jufeng Building as if she had committed a heinous crime? Most of Mei was awkward with herself and didn't speak.

At first, she didn't pay any attention to it, after all, because of her voice, Mei Da seldom spoke until after entering the small courtyard, he ran to the kitchen to split forks with an axe, and An Ran finally realized that this The man is angry.

Mei Da's special hobby of chopping firewood when he was angry was discovered by An Ran in Fuchunju. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't think about why he was so angry for a long time.

Although he didn't think about it, he decided to coax him, went in and poured a cup of tea out, handed it to him, but continued to drink, still ignoring her.

An Ran was at a loss, and sighed: "What are you angry about?"

Mei Da took a look at her and spit out three words: "Gu Yongcheng."

An Ran was stunned, the trouble for a long time was because of Gu Yongcheng, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Mei quit, threw away the axe, grabbed her in her arms, and glared at him: "Don't talk to him again."

An Ran: "Do you make sense, even though he is Han Zizhang's apprentice, he is also a cook after all, and I don't think he is the same as Cui Qingge Shunsheng, he doesn't look like a bad guy."

Mei Da sneered: "It's not good to write bad guys on your forehead. Your eyes are very beautiful, but your eyesight is really bad."

Now when the two are together, Mei Da likes to talk, I don't know if it is An Ran's illusion, after listening for a long time, I feel that his voice is much better than before, not so harsh, but, what does this man mean? What does it mean to have poor eyesight?

An Ran blinked: "Are you saying that I fall in love with you because of my poor eyesight?"

Mei laughed loudly after saying a word, lowered her head and kissed her eyes, then slid to her ear: "Your vision is not very good..." An Ran wanted to say something, but he swallowed it whole...

Is your vision bad? An Ran doesn't think so, even though many people think so, a good day is set, on the sixth day of March, Shuan Ziniang came to help make quilts, in fact, Gou Ziniang's needlework is better, but Wang Gui's family said, This was done by Dequanhe talent, the dog's father was gone, and the dog's mother was sick and unlucky, so I asked Shuan Zi's mother to come over, and Gao Bingyi's wife made quilts for each of them.

While doing this job, it was inevitable that she would gossip, Shuan Ziniang said: "If you want to talk about our Miss An's appearance and skills, she is more than enough to be a concubine. Why..." Gao Bingyi's family stopped her before she finished speaking. : "You don't have a handle on your mouth. The good times are coming soon, and you just talk nonsense. Besides, what's so good about being a concubine? I can hear people say that there are too many concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards in the palace. Your Majesty Just one, if she becomes a concubine, if she is not favored, there are some who will never see the emperor for the rest of her life, what's so good, it's better to marry a down-to-earth man, I'll just look at Mei Da."

Shuan Ziniang said in a low voice: "No matter how good you are, you are just a servant, how can you be worthy of Miss An."

Gao Bingyi's family shook his head: "What do you know? They say they are domestic servants, but they are actually Mr. Mei's nephews. I heard that the family used to be great. If it wasn't for the fire, they wouldn't have followed Mr. Mei to Yanzhou Mansion. I'm afraid this marriage with our girl is gone, this is the marriage of thousands of miles mentioned in the book, don't look at Mei Da's burnt face, my heart hurts the girl."

As he said that, he leaned into Mrs. Shuanzi's ear and whispered: "Listen to me, the head of the house, Mei Da personally brings the water for washing the feet to the girl every day. Tell me, where in the world can I find a man who loves others so much? .”

Shuan Ziniang nodded: "This is really a caring wife. It is far better than my man. My man, don't ask him to bring me foot washing water. I will bring it to him. If it gets colder , It’s good to kick off with one foot.”

As she spoke, she touched the quilt: "This quilt is really slippery. Looking at the embroidery on it, it's really exquisite. The pair of mandarin ducks seem to be alive."

"Well, you don't know, even though Mei's house is burned down, there are still a few businesses, how can there be no money in hand, not to mention the quilt, look at the furnishings in the room, which one is not exquisite Carefully selected, not to mention the wedding dress for Miss An, you haven't seen how decent it is, and the pearls on the wedding crown are so big..." As he spoke, he compared it with his hands.

Shuan Ziniang burst into laughter: "I'll tell you to compare, it's not like pearls have turned into eggs."

"Eggs are not so bad, but pigeon eggs are about the same." He said with a sigh: "From this subtlety, you can see that you may like a girl in your heart. If it wasn't for her face being burned, she would stand here and there. It's also a natural match between a man and a woman."

With a tray in her hand, An Ran listened outside the window for a long time, and the more she listened, the sweeter she felt in her heart. Women, it is a lie to say that they don’t care. Knowing that a man has himself in his heart, and is careful and thoughtful, he will naturally be happy.

Fearing that the two of them would talk about something again, they coughed lightly, and the two people in the room stopped talking.

An Ran stepped in and said, "The two ladies take a break first, drink some tea and have some snacks. The snacks are delicious when they are hot, and the taste will go away when they are cold."

The eyes of the two of them lit up when they heard the dim sum made by An Ran. No one in Yanzhou now knows that Miss An's dishes are hard to find. This is a chance, so how can I let it go? rolled into the kang.

Wang Gui's family put the table on the kang table, Wang Shuanzi took a look at the plate, and couldn't help saying: "Oh, the girl is handsome, and the dim sum is also beautiful. What kind of dim sum is this? I've never seen it before."
