self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 61

When An Ran woke up, it was already dark, and after she got up and washed, she asked her maid to find out that Yue Jintang had come, and at the moment she was playing chess with Mei Da in the small pavilion in the East Garden.

An Ran was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask the maid to inform Mei Da, she packed up and went out by herself, and went forward along the ultra-handy corridor.

After taking a rest for a while, Fang thought about looking at the yard. It should be said that the garden is more appropriate. The yard they live in is in the middle, and there are two small gardens on the side. Unexpectedly, it is quite exquisite in Jiangnan gardens.

Entering the East Garden, I saw a clear stream, gurgling past, and the bamboo shadows swaying, adding a little vitality. When I came back, I didn't think it was so big. Now I know there is something wrong.

After spending half a month on the boat, he has already gotten to know Yue Jintang very well. Although Yue Jintang is a man of high status, he has an unconstrained temper.

Although he always intervenes between himself and Mei Da, from the bottom of his heart, An Ran doesn't hate this person, and she can see that Mei Da is quite congenial to him.

Sometimes An Ran even had the illusion that the two had known each other before, but Mei Da categorically denied it. Later, An Ran thought about it, maybe this was hit-a-piece.

Even though their identities are very different, their acquaintance with Yue Jintang did not make the couple feel inferior. Therefore, An Ran still admired the Xiaoyao County King in his heart.

There are not so many rules for getting acquainted with each other. Originally, An Ran was very disgusted with the ancient rules and etiquette. Those rules were made for women, and had no binding force on men. What's more, she was not the daughter of everyone. She is not a wife of a family, she is just a cook, and if the rules that restrain women are transferred to her, it is not appropriate.Therefore, there is no need to shy away from Yue Jintang too much, and come here wearing homely clothes.

Since getting married, An Ran has never worried about wearing clothes, except for those made by Gou Zi Niang and Shun Zi Niang, Mei Da also likes to buy these for her.

An Ran heard from him that Mei's shop in the south of the Yangtze River made clothes and jewelry, so she had a lot more clothes and jewelry. Looking at the pair of rough silver bracelets in her hands, An Ran really felt that Mei Da was very cunning.

Probably because he was afraid that he would suspect his background, this was the first time he gave him something, so he gave such a pair of cheap bracelets, and after he got married, he bought things every day.

It's just that she still likes the pair in her hand the most. Although it is rough, every time she sees it, it reminds her of her heartbeat at that moment.

An Ran didn't like to wear jewelry in the first place. In modern times, as a chef, such things as jewelry cannot be worn. When entering the kitchen, he has to wear a chef's hat. This is a basic quality of a cook, and he will get used to it after a long time.

There were not so many rules in ancient times, and she didn't like to wear jewelry. The reason why the pair of silver bracelets on her wrists was an exception was because Mei Da said that when she wore the bracelets to cook dishes, they looked very beautiful, and they were considered objects of love between the two. I was reluctant to take it off, so I wore it.

An Ran doesn't like to wear jewelry, but she likes the clothes that Mei Da bought for her. After getting married, An Ran doesn't feel that Mei Da is a delicate man. She is also extremely precise about her preferences.

Take the clothes I bought as an example, most of them are simple in style and elegant in color, very much in mind for An Ran, and the materials are extremely comfortable.

Suzhou is much warmer than Qizhou, so she couldn't wear it anymore. An Ran changed into something lighter. She wore a homely white shirt with a water-red fairy skirt. After all, she was just married, so she couldn't dress too plainly. He pulled up his hair, inserted an agate hairpin, and walked slowly.She herself didn't think much of it, she fell into the eyes of the two men in the pavilion, but they both stopped playing chess and stared at her.

Mei Da stared at it for a while, then suddenly recalled it, and gave Yue Jintang a bad look: "What are you looking at?"

Yue Jintang also felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to stare at his wife, so he turned his head and coughed: "I didn't look at anything? I just thought that the scenery in your garden is good, so I took a few more glances unconsciously." .”

As he said that, he couldn't help laughing, and looked at him and said, "I said you're not good enough, don't you just look at your little wife a little more, if you can't make it up, I'll marry the princess later, and I'll let you see If not, it's over."

The two guards outside the pavilion almost stopped laughing when they heard this, their prince is really big enough, if he was willing to marry the princess, he would still have no heirs.

Mei Da was also amused by him: "Your concubine has a twist, but you promised to come out first." She looked at Yue Jintang suspiciously: "You really miss my wife, don't you?" It was covered by the mask, but the cold light in the eyes was like a cold knife, swishing out.

Even if he had thought this way before, he would never admit it at this time, Yue Jintang said with a chuckle: "How can it be, there is a saying that a friend's wife should not be bullied, and we have been friends for so many years, it is impossible for this king to be a human being. Missing my friend's daughter-in-law."

"Not the best."

Yue Jintang didn't want to dwell on this dangerous topic, so he pointed the fan outside: "Your wife is here."

Mei Da had already stood up and went out, and took a closer look at her face, seeing that she was tired after sleeping, her face was rosy, her eyes were bright, and she was extremely energetic, so she felt relieved and led her in. into the pavilion.

Although he didn't want to see the light bulb Yue Jintang, he still had to take care of the basic manners, and An Ran knelt down to greet him.

But Yue Jintang laughed: "As long as you don't think I'm here to eat again, girl, it's fine, and it's fine if you're rude."

An Ran pursed her lips and said unceremoniously: "If An Ran dislikes it in her heart, will the prince not come to my house in the future?"

Yue Jintang pretended not to hear it, and chuckled twice: "Well, it's getting late, shouldn't it be time for dinner? This king, I only ate a few slices of fish cakes at noon this day. Those things are good, but it's not time. Right now, the king is hungry, with his chest on his back, and I said, Chef An, what shall we have for dinner?"

An Ran couldn't help giving him a blank look, looked at Mei Da, and said a few words: "Yinsi Kuai."

Mei Da remembered that when she fell asleep, she always muttered about this dish, which showed that she was thinking about herself in her heart, and her eyes were soft: "The fish sticks are good, but the preparation is too complicated, just eat whatever you want."

An Ran knew that he felt sorry for her, and shook her head: "No trouble, besides, I also like to cook, you continue to play chess, I will come when I go." As she said that, she turned to leave, but she heard Yue Jintang say: "Well, Chef An, Isn’t this fish sticky delicious, it’s better to cook and eat now.”

An Ran blinked her eyes, "I didn't say I was going to make fish croquettes, I made silver croquettes." She left the words.

Yue Jintang was stunned for a long time, then looked at Mei Da: "Isn't this silver croquette a fish croquette? Or am I thinking wrong?"

Mei Da sat down instead, and said angrily: "If you can't eat something, you can get it. If you understand it so clearly, your majestic prince will also plan to be a cook."

Yue Jintang laughed: "What you said really touched my heart. I used to like to eat, but after seeing your little wife's cooking skills, I am really interested in cooking. You didn't see you. The appearance of the daughter-in-law when she was cooking fish meat is beautiful in a single word, those bright wrists, bullying frost and snow, and those ten green onion fingers..."

Suddenly, a cold light shot over, realized something, quickly closed his mouth, and smiled twice: "In short, your wife looks good when she cooks, looks good, hehehe... Well, playing chess, playing chess, I just finished Son, it's your turn."

Mei Da was really upset, but thinking about the situation at that time, she had to admit that what Yue Jintang said was that his daughter-in-law was born pretty, let alone when she was cooking.

Speaking of which, wasn't I also attracted by the way this girl cooks at the beginning? In such a twilight evening, a little girl in a green cloth skirt lowered her head and looked serious about cooking, but just one glance attracted me. After passing by, it was only when I entered that I realized that the little girl was baking alfalfa cakes.

The earnestness of this girl when she cooks is very attractive. She was still in Anfu, and she was in a bad situation. Now she is more like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon. She spreads her wings and is dazzling. Can't even hide, I can only protect her and let her do what she wants to do with peace of mind.

At the beginning, he was indeed unbalanced, he thought she belonged to him alone, wanted to hide her in his arms, only to be seen by him, but then he finally figured it out in Qizhou, this girl was not born to hide She lives, and I love her so much, which is exactly what I love.

Just imagine, if she followed him, became his own woman, and followed him in a law-abiding manner, there would be no difference from those women in Anfu. He loved Anran who was so glamorous and unique.

And this kind of An Ran can only be protected by herself, this girl is too capable of causing trouble, no, it should be said that even if she doesn't cause trouble, trouble will come to her automatically as long as she stops wherever she goes.

Originally, although the cooks of the North and South Schools had been fighting for a long time, they were still decent. After all, they were all in the kitchen industry. The dispute between the North and the South was provoked, so that the battle between the cooks in the North and the South intensified.

And this girl was picked out, whimsically trying to resolve the dispute between the North and the South by herself. At first, I felt that she was overreaching, but now I feel that maybe only she can do it.

What's more, Mei Da has to say that An Ran is an impeccable and perfect wife, needless to say about her appearance, Yue Jintang is notoriously picky about women, and he has repeatedly praised An Ran's beauty, which is quite telling.

temper?She was indeed a bit tough on her previous self, but that was because she never thought about living with herself. Now look at how gentle she is, and even if she is already a top chef in the kitchen, she is also the most gentle and gentle wife when she enters the house , she will cook three meals by herself according to her own taste, even if she is not good at sewing, she will study hard.The house is also well organized.

What surprised him the most was that the bed was more real and unpretentious, he would cooperate if he liked it, and he would tell it if he didn't like it. Such frankness made the relationship between the two of them extremely harmonious, and it also gave him a headache. Back to feel the wonderful taste of the unity of body and mind, the unity of soul and flesh.

Mei Da clearly knew that apart from An Ran, there would be no other woman in this world who made her fall in love with her so deeply. Moreover, the longer they were together, the more she couldn't help feeling bored, but the more she loved her.Thinking about it, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly.

Yue Jintang caught a glimpse of his smile, and couldn't help saying: "You're enjoying yourself, you're addicted to wearing this fake face." Thinking of something, he suddenly approached him, and said ambiguously: "This king is very curious, you and you When the daughter-in-law is making out, is she still wearing a mask?"

Mei gave him a warning look, and Yue Jintang hurriedly said: "Well, I don't ask, it's okay if I don't ask." But he muttered: "This is a fun thing, and I will try it later, but, What exactly is the silver thread that this girl is talking about? It’s like a cat scratching my heart here.”

Just as he was talking, he saw An Ran walking over with a food box, and Yue Jintang stood up without a servant, and put away the chess pieces on the table in two or three strokes, looking eagerly at An Ran, to be exact, at Looking at the food box in An Ran's hand.

An Ran suddenly felt it was funny, it seemed that she had seen these people, one by one was more greedy than the other, only her family, Mei Da, was better, An Ran completely ignored Mei Da's picky problem at the moment.

When An Ran brought up the dish, Yue Jintang's eyes lit up, pointing to the plate with the fish head on it, he murmured, "No wonder it's called silver shreds, it's really cut like silver shreds, it's also perch? Why? practice?"

An Ran nodded: "Take off the fish bones, cut them into thin strips, blanch them in boiling water, take them out and put them in ice water to cool them down, and eat them with mustard sauce."

Yue Jintang took a sip and couldn't help nodding: "It's true that the taste is different from the one eaten at noon, but I still prefer the fish cake at noon, the umami taste is really delicious."

In addition to silver noodles and three seasonal side dishes, the staple food An Ran made a shepherd's purse emerald siu mai, which was rolled with spinach juice and noodles, and stuffed with shepherd's purse, pork and spring bamboo shoots.Steamed in a pot, the color is crisp and crystal clear, and you will have an appetite just looking at it.

There were four baskets of siu mai, and Yue Jintang ate three baskets by himself. He touched his stomach and couldn't eat any more, so he said, "This one is more suitable for my taste than the silver shredded rice. Besides, the color makes people like it just by looking at it." , how do you do it? And this stuffing, how come this king has never eaten it?"

Haven't eaten?An Ran was stunned, and after a little thought, she understood that although Yue Jintang had no pretensions, he was the majestic King of Xiaoyao County. He came to the south of the Yangtze River because he was sent by the emperor, and when he came to do business, the standard of reception in the place must be extremely high.

Most of these high-standard banquets are classic dishes of southern cuisine, such as squirrel mandarin fish, assorted tofu soup, crab roe and lion's head, etc. This mustard green is a wild vegetable eaten by the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, they dare not use it like this when receiving His Royal Highness. Common people's things, so much so that Yue Jintang has come to Jiangnan many times, and he has never even eaten the most common seasonal food.

An Ran suddenly felt it was funny, and looked sideways at Mei Da.

Mei Da is different from Yue Jintang. Although An's family is rich and can afford to eat as many meals as possible, but because Jiashu often runs around the rivers and lakes, he is impatient to eat the food in big restaurants. Whenever the two brothers meet in Jiangnan, they will definitely go there. On the street, sometimes it is a humble restaurant, and sometimes it is eaten at a street stall.

As for wild vegetables like mustard greens, at this time of year, common people often pick them up, whether they are mixed vegetables or made into stuffing, so he has eaten them before, but he has such an opportunity to openly laugh at Yue Jintang, how can he let it go? He opened his mouth and said, "This is a rare item, and it is expensive. What are you asking, do you want to pay for the meal?"

Yue Jintang looked at them in astonishment: "You guys are not a restaurant. Does this king have to pay for the meal?"

Mei Da nodded: "Whoever said that we are not a restaurant here, we have agreed in Qizhou, come to the south to open a restaurant, otherwise what will we do for a living?"

Yue Jintang blinked: "Forget it, who is fooling you, you still need money."

Mei Da said very seriously: "It is said that a rich family is not as good as a penny every day. I still have to support my daughter-in-law. When I have children in the future, I will need money even more. Isn't it a bit of a calculation? I don't think so. Prince, with the salary of the imperial court, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."

Yue Jintang almost made him angry, but counting Dayan, who has as much money as his Anjia, and how much money is there in Jiangnan for his Anji business? Mu can afford it too.

What's more, as far as his wife's skills are concerned, he still needs money. A Fuchun residence in Guangqi Prefecture is no exaggeration to say that he is making money every day. Otherwise, I would not have thought of opening a restaurant with him , By the way, open a restaurant?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help saying: "You agreed to open a restaurant together with me."

Seeing that he had come to understand, Mei didn't want to make fun of him any more, and pointed to the dishes on the table: "How much do you think these few dishes are worth outside?"

Yue Jintang shook his fan: "It goes without saying, just because of Chef An's reputation, the dishes he cooks are priceless and hard to find."

Mei Da nodded: "An Ran has always wanted to open a private restaurant, not Fuchunju..."

Mei Da took this opportunity to tell Yue Jintang about An Ran's thoughts, the more Yue Jintang listened, the brighter his eyes became, and in the end, all he saw were gold ingots.

Even though I am a majestic Prince of the County, I really don't have a lot of money, my salary is not much, and I am used to spending a lot of money, so every year when the root of the year comes, there will be a famine.

In the first few years, the emperor helped him, but after getting to know An Jiamu, he gave him a few small fortunes to support him, but it was not a long-term solution.

The An family's business has already started, and it's not suitable for me to invest in shares, but Mei Da is different. Anyway, since An Jiamu is Mei Da at the moment, I regard him as Mei Da.

His Fuchun Residence, I am really envious when I look at it. Regardless of just a few tables, it can cover several Jufeng Towers, which is far better than the Anji Restaurant in the An family. Therefore, he was encouraged to open a branch in the south of the Yangtze River. No., I can also take the opportunity to invest in shares, even if I have a long-term way to make money in the future.

At first, he thought he was quite smart and could figure out a real way to make money, but compared with An Jiamu, Yue Jintang was really convinced. Seeing his way, he made money without any effort, and it was extremely easy.

Mei Da's meaning is basically what An Ran said, but with a slight change. Yue Jintang is allowed to invest in the dry stock, and he is asked to save people. One day can't be too much. There is only one table, and it has to be ordered three days in advance. As for what to eat, it doesn't matter. Choose, what the chef cooks and eats, everything is according to the chef's preference, as for how much is a table?
This is the place where Yue Jintang admires An Jiamu the most. This guy is simply too smart. He doesn't set a price. He tells the diners to wait and see what they can do. It depends on what the diners want. But if you think about it carefully, you can make a lot of money.

The dishes made by An Ran in Qizhou are hard to come by, so here in the south of the Yangtze River, this girl made a dish of golden and jade fish, and her reputation has already gone out. If it is a few days later, the competition with Wang Pinrong will win again. It's even bigger. At that time, as long as you let the wind out, there will be many people who come to the door.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the future of money is bright, and I don't even bother to ask about the stuffing of the siu mai. I went back to my other courtyard muttering, wondering which fat sheep I should save first...

After seeing off the unexpected guest Yue Jintang, Mei Da turned her head and found that An Ran was staring at her, and her heart skipped a beat: "What are you doing looking at me like that?"

An Ran shook her head: "Suddenly discovered that you are really a natural material for doing business."

Mei Da's eyes flickered, she hugged her in her arms, and said in a low voice: "If you don't like it, we won't open any restaurants, but, don't go to Sichuan as you said, okay?"

An Ran was stunned: "Why?"

Mei Da kissed her small mouth: "The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and suitable for raising a baby."

An Ran blushed: "Is it too early? I'm only seventeen." An Ran had no choice but to reveal her age, but Mei Da sighed: "But I'm old."

An Ran laughed, "It's only thirty, what's the big deal?"

"Thirty years have passed, and the knees are still empty. If there is an emergency, no one will die." An Ran's expression changed, she reached out her hand to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Okay."

Mei's eyes lit up, and she hugged her: "Then I will work harder today, maybe next year we will be parents."

An Ran suddenly felt that she had been fooled and was moved by this man's policy of mourning soldiers. Then again, when did he stop working hard?

Basically, if Mei Da wanted to make a fuss, she would have to spend half the night if she didn't do it all night. After the tossing was over, An Ran was almost dizzy. He fell asleep after hearing what he said, anyway, there is Mei Da, so there is no need to worry about it.

Mei Da took the quilt to wrap An Ran, carried her into the bathroom and took a bath and came back. The quilt on the bed had been replaced with a new one, the thin quilt was covered, the curtains were lowered, and she told the maid to keep watch, and then she put on her clothes and went out.

The small courtyard ahead was brightly lit, and the hands and feet of the two men on the ground were tied. The sword in An Jiashu's hand pointed at the two of them: "Say, who told you to come?"

The two men couldn't explain clearly, seeing his elder brother coming out, An Jiashu put away his sword: "Elder brother is really predictable, there are really people who are not afraid of death."

Then, he handed the snake cage next to Mei Da: "These two people are really vicious, and they want to release poisonous snakes. Brother, you see, this kind of snake is also called Wubulong, which is very poisonous. You will surely die within one step, if the elder brother hadn't been on guard and asked me to lead someone to guard outside, if these snakes were let in..." He paused.

Mei Da's face was extremely gloomy. The person behind this was indeed vicious and thoughtful, and he actually thought of such a sinister trick as releasing poisonous snakes. If it wasn't for the vigilance of the third child, these snakes entered the garden, and An Ran...did not dare to go down Thinking about it, even if I got tricked, I didn't know anyone knew it, and I couldn't find the enemy even if I wanted to.

Thinking of this, he bent down and stretched out his hand to pull one of the men up: "Say, who told you to come?"

"No, no one, our two brothers just passed by, yes, passed by, we caught this snake from the mountain and went home for drinking, and we didn't intend to put it in your house."

An Jiashu listened to it, and bah... spat: "You fucking fools, I've been staring at you two for a long time, you two cats are at the back wall, when you were discussing to put the snake in, the master was there You are listening on the tree on top of your head, now that this person has got all the stolen goods, you still want to deny it."

The expressions of the two of them changed, and they gritted their teeth: "You're a servant, we didn't think about letting the snake go, we just passed by, otherwise, send us to the yamen, and let the lord of the government yamen have a clear and clear trial. You can’t frame it indiscriminately.”

An Jiashu's face turned pale with anger, he pulled out the sword in his waist, and was about to stab him with a sword, but An Jiamu grabbed him: "Third brother, what are you doing?"

An Jiashu said angrily: "This kind of insidious villain has harmed countless people. I want to do justice for the heavens."

Mei Da couldn't help shaking her head: "The rules of your arena can't be applied here. Besides, since these two people keep saying they want to be sent to the government, I understand. Could it be that the two of you have some collusion with the government?"

"No, no, don't talk nonsense." The faces of the two of them changed and they denied it repeatedly.

Mei Da sneered: "It's true that there is no silver 300 taels here. I just lied to you. I don't want to have such an unexpected harvest. I will give you another chance. If you tell the person behind the scenes, I will consider letting you go." If you don’t tell me about the way of life, then you can’t blame the Lord, you will be killed and thrown into the cesspit, and no one will know when it rots.”

Although the two were afraid in their hearts, they couldn't dare to say it when they thought about the consequences. They just gritted their teeth and said, "We are two lives, even if you are Chef An's man, you are just a commoner. If you don't believe me, you dare to take ours." Destiny, is there any royal law?"

Wang Fa?Mei laughed loudly: "This is really a thief calling for a thief. You ran to my house to release poisonous snakes and asked if there is any law. However, there is some truth to what you said. You two lives, sir. It’s useless to come, but Grandpa is in the mood today, let’s play something new, come here, find some strong sacks and put them on.”

A few people came up, and without any explanation, they put them in the sack, and Mei ordered An Jiashu to pull out the snake's fangs in a loud voice, and said, "Put the snake in too."

As soon as the snake got into the sack, it burrowed into the sack. The two seven-foot-tall men were so frightened that they couldn't make out their voices. I never thought that Chef An's man was such a ruthless character. I only heard about it before. He's a servant, so he's a softie. Seeing Chef An's pretty face during the day, I'm really envious. Why didn't I have such a capable and beautiful wife?

Thinking of the little beauty being bitten by a snake and dying of fragrance, when she came to release the snake, I still felt a little bit reluctant, but I didn't think that the man of the little beauty was King Yama: "I said, said, it's the governor. Chef Wang from the mansion asked us to come..."

Mei Da waved her hand, two nurses came up and dragged them out of the sack and threw them on the ground, suddenly smelling the smell of excrement and urine, An Jiashu looked forward and couldn't help being happy: "Brother, these two people No way, I was so scared that I pooped in my pants." He slapped his nose and said, "It really stinks."

Mei Da looked at the two of them: "Did you just say it was the Governor's Mansion or Wang Pinrong? I didn't hear clearly."

Although the two of them pulled up their pants in fright, they still had some sanity. When they heard this, they were shocked. What a great official the Governor of Jiangnan is. , the two of them have a few lives, dared to talk about the governor's mansion, and hurriedly said: "It is Wang Pinrong, Wang Pinrong, who ordered us to release snakes to murder Chef An, so that Chef An can't go to Songyue Tower to compete with him in cooking in three days. "

Mei Da nodded: "Three days later, repeat what I said today in Songyue Tower, and the Lord will let you live."

When the two of them heard this, they quickly kowtowed: "Grandpa, master, why are you letting us live here? You want to kill us both. The culinary competition in three days' time will be spread all over the city of Suzhou. Your lord, The lords of Fu Ya are here, if the two of us say so, how can we save our lives."

"As long as you speak clearly, don't involve others. Afterwards, I will ask the king of Xiaoyao County to intercede for you. At most, I will spend a few more years in prison, which is better than losing my life."

Xiaoyao County King?The two of them glanced at each other, and they suddenly understood that Wang Pinrong was fooling them. Chef An was a cook with no backer, and married a man was a softie. If he died, he would die. In order to hinder the face of the Governor's Mansion, the government will not dare to go into it. As long as the matter is done without anyone noticing, they will be given 100 taels of silver.

Being moved by gold and silver, the two of them gritted their teeth and took the risk. They did this kind of thing, but they didn't expect to run into this person's hands. Now they know that there is no backstage. Chef An's backstage is tough, Xiaoyao King of the county, is that something that rascals like them can provoke?

Both sides are not easy to mess with, and they can only sell Wang Pinrong in order to make a living. After thinking about it, the two hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Mei Da still asked someone to put them in a sack, and carefully instructed his brother in his ear. An Jiashu nodded, and led the people out through the back door, quietly going to An's family's other courtyard in Suzhou at night.

Mei called the nursing home to divide into three shifts to patrol around the garden day and night. This time he was really frightened. It was Jiashu who caught him. If he didn't catch him, or when he caught him, the snake had already been released. Come in, the consequences are disastrous.

Although the garden is not big, it is not small either. The gardens on the east and west sides are verdant with lush vegetation. Once the snake comes in, it burrows into the grass and looks for it.

Thinking about it, she broke out in a cold sweat, entered the house, took off her shoes, got on the bed and hugged her well-behaved daughter-in-law in her arms, Mei Da felt at ease.

An Ran slept soundly, being hugged by him suddenly, she was naturally uncomfortable, she opened her eyes in a daze, saw that it was him, and muttered: "What are you going to do at night?"

Mei Da let go of her slightly: "It's nothing serious, go to sleep."

An Ran hummed, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep in his arms.

Mei looked down at her for a while, the little daughter-in-law was sleeping soundly, her little face was flushed, she probably felt hot, half of her snow-white arms were exposed outside the quilt, she was lying on her arms slightly on her side, there was a faint tinge on her slender neck. Some of the traces left by me have faded, while others are extremely clear...

He put her arm into the quilt, touched it down, and stopped on her lower abdomen, wondering if he already had his own flesh and blood here, never for a moment did he want to have a child so urgently, and put them together Husband and wife are tied tightly together and will never be separated in this life.

At that time, I don't have to be afraid anymore, thinking about it, I couldn't help sighing, bowed my head and kissed the little daughter-in-law, and said softly: "If you don't want me to always wear a mask to make out with you, just earn some money, Hurry up and get pregnant with my master's child, when the time comes, I will let you do whatever you want, as long as you don't leave, you can do whatever you want..."

Not to mention how Mei Da is looking forward to having a child here, and Wang Pinrong is anxiously waiting for the letter at the moment. The reason why he gave Songyue downstairs the challenge letter was to help senior brother Han Zizhang deal with this little girl who suddenly popped up .

After senior brother Han Zizhang won Zheng Chunyang, he had the opportunity to be recommended to Shangguanyi by his senior brother, and then followed Shangguanyi from Guangdong and Guangxi to Jiangnan and became the chef of the governor's mansion.

Although it is not as good as the royal chef of the senior brother, it is also rich in oil and water. Moreover, if the cooks of the Northern School want to find a good job in the south of the Yangtze River, they have to give him money. There are a lot of deposits, and two foreign houses have been set up in Suzhou.

Wang Pinrong knew in his heart that he had such a source of income because of his brother's current status. If his brother's royal cook disappeared, his own source of income would also be cut off.

I thought that Zheng Chunyang's wrist was broken, and he would be a useless person in this life. He didn't pay attention to the craftsmanship of your two apprentices, but he didn't expect that the old man took in another little girl to inherit the mantle.

Regardless of how young you are, the two culinary competitions not only settled the dispute between the north and the south cooks in Qizhou, but also shaved Cui Qing's head. Looking at the momentum, I am afraid that he is going towards his senior brother and wants to avenge Zheng Chunyang, an old man. Well, it would be a big trouble if this girl was allowed to enter Beijing.

Therefore, this game was set up to lure this girl to the south of the Yangtze River, so that she couldn't beat her in cooking, and if she used a trick to kill this girl without anyone noticing, it would be over.

Who would have thought that this girl would make a long-lost golden and jade cymbal as soon as she came here, and Wang Pinrong also knew that this girl was difficult to deal with after hearing the disciple's return, even if he couldn't lose, it would not be easy to win her.

Wanting to save trouble, he found two rogues, promised them some money, and told them to release poisonous snakes to kill the girl.

However, it was almost dawn, why didn't he come back, stood up and walked back and forth a few times, looked outside, and called his apprentice Liu Yicai: "Go and see, nothing happened."

Liu Yicai rolled his eyes: "Master, it's not that the apprentice is lazy, it's better not to go at this time if you follow the apprentice."

Wang Pinrong always knew that this kid had ideas, and he waited for his explanation.

Liu Yicai said: "Master, think about it. There are only two possibilities if you don't come back at this time. One is someone who catches the current situation and may wait for the person who will be the master later. Once the apprentice goes, wouldn't he be falling into the trap of others? If he is not caught Hold on, if you don't come back at this time, you must have run away with the money, and if you don't leave Suzhou City, you must find a place to hide, where to find someone."

Wang Pinrong: "According to you, just don't mention it for nothing. If that girl really catches it, wouldn't it be a bad thing to tell the master when the time comes?"

Liu Yicai smiled: "Master, don't worry. There are Lord Governor and His Highness Ning Wang behind the master. What are you afraid of? As long as those two rogues have a bit of brains, they will never dare to recruit the master. Master still think about how to win that girl." It's important, I saw her cooking fish sticks the other day, I'm afraid it's hard to deal with..."
