Lingquan after kitchen

Chapter 30
Ouyang Yue got Yi's decree, got rid of the poisonous woman Kong who was next to her pillow, and finally got a clean house, as if the clouds opened and the sun rose, and the stones in her heart were gone.

He took the medicine made by Ouyang Jinhua's sister and brother, and was comforted by Ouyang Teng, and he was able to go to court again, with power in his hands. In just three days, his energy and spirit were restored to the original level.

Taking advantage of Muxiu, he left Chang'an City early in the morning and rushed to Zhuangzi in Lintong. When he saw Mrs. Ding, both mother and son were moved to tears, as if they had been separated for many years.

Ouyang Jinye and his wife, and Ouyang Jinhua's siblings saluted Ouyang Yue successively.

Ouyang Jinhua saw that Ouyang Yue was tall and thin, wearing a purple shirt made of high-quality silk, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked like a refined talent from a distance, but his lines were deep and long when viewed up close, and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles. Life.

Ding's appearance is ordinary, and Ouyang Jinhua guessed that Ouyang Yue's appearance followed his grandfather Ouyang Linhai's.

When the family entered the hall, Ouyang Yue knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Ding, presenting her birthday gift.

"Get up quickly." Madam Ding called to my son in her heart, but because of the habit she had developed in Ouyang Mansion in Chang'an for many years, she couldn't say it even in front of her relatives.

Ouyang Yue came down, looked carefully at Ding Shi, and asked with a smile: "Your complexion is much better than it has been in a few months, but did you take the panacea?"

Ding pointed at Ouyang Jinhua and said proudly: "My Jinhua filial piety cooks all kinds of delicious food every day, so I don't suffer from insomnia, and my complexion naturally improves."

"Jinhua also came out more graceful." Ouyang Yue just saw that Ouyang Jinhua's temperament has changed a lot, even his appearance has changed, "I have heard many people say that Jinhua's food is unique in the world. Today When I went out in the morning, I only ate a little."

Ouyang Jinfeng chuckled and said, "It turns out that uncle is also greedy."

Ouyang Yue is famous for his serious and cold face outside, but he is very easy-going at home, and he has always regarded his nephew and niece as his own, so he beckoned Ouyang Jinfeng to come over and hugged him on his lap , and asked softly: "I heard that you got drunk and vomited on the night of your grandma's birthday party?"

"Yes." Ouyang Jinfeng lowered his eyes, thinking of the table of delicious food and sweet fruit wine that night, spread his hands, and said in a very regretful tone: "It's all ruined."

Everyone laughed.

Knowing that Ouyang Yue likes to eat sweets, Ding invited him to eat the snacks on the table.

Ouyang Jinyu looked around at the crowd and said with a smile: "Uncle, how do my sister's dim sum compare to those made in the palace?"

When Ouyang Yue was a playmate of the three princes, he often ate dim sum in the palace, tasted the nearest plate of yellow dim sum, nodded and said: "Okay!" Then asked: "What's the name of this dim sum?"

Ouyang Jinfeng rushed to answer: "Pea yellow. Uncle, my sister made this with peas. It's delicious."

"It turned out to be made of peas, but it doesn't have any beany smell." Ouyang Yue wanted to eat another piece, but there were three plates of dim sum in front of him, so he went to taste the other two plates, and after eating a piece each, he took a deep look Ouyang Jinhua, with a calm expression, couldn't help but praise a few words, and said specially: "I heard before that dim sum is a favorite food for girls and children. If it can make men feel delicious, it is really delicious."

Ouyang Jinhua raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said: "You are right." The process of making dim sum is more complicated than that of ordinary dishes, and it tests patience and skill.

Ouyang Yue took another piece of pea yellow in his hand, with piercing eyes, and said: "You are from my Ouyang family, and I will say a few words with a fair and just attitude. I dare not say that these three snacks are the best in the world." One, but Chang’an No. [-] can’t run.”

Ouyang Jinye said loudly: "Sister, the Chang'an mentioned by my father includes the imperial dining room and the private kitchen of the most powerful and noble people in this dynasty. I think it can be called the number one in the Great Hua Dynasty."

Ouyang Jinhua said with a smile: "Today, these three snacks of mine can get such a high evaluation from my uncle. I'm really happy."

After everyone had lunch, Ouyang Jinyu specially invited Ouyang Yue to the study, and asked, "Uncle, you see, I am taking my sister's dim sum recipes to open some dim sum shops in various cities of the Dahua Dynasty to earn a little money. How's the news?"

Ouyang Yue knew that Ouyang Jinyu was worried about the 20 taels of silver that he gave to Dongfang Xuanyi, so he said, "Nowhere in the streets or alleys can the news spread faster than the teahouse. If you want to inquire about the news, you have to open In addition to selling snacks, teahouses also sell tea."

Ouyang Jinyu said slowly: "Snack shops don't take up space, but teahouses need a spacious place and a good environment to attract rich people."

Ouyang Yue thought about it and said: "If you discuss with Jinhua, why don't you open a dim sum shop first, make a name for yourself, and then open a restaurant."

Ouyang Jinyu said: "If you open a restaurant, you will need to invest a lot of money and manpower in the early stage."

Ouyang Yue reminded: "Everyone in the Great Hua Dynasty is staring at the money in your pocket. If you don't spend it for a day, someone will try to trick you. Just do some business and spend the money."

Ouyang Jinyu stayed in the Zhuangzi these days and received a lot of invitations. The son of a powerful family whom he didn't know before also came to Zhuangzi to make friends with him by hunting in Mount Li, which made him want to leave Zhuangzi and travel far away. .

Ouyang Yue met Ouyang Jinye in the study, and talked about the situation in the court and the preparations for Qiu Wei.

Neither father nor son mentioned Kong Yiwen, as if he had never been in the family.

Ouyang Jinfeng was playing in Ouyang Jinyu's yard, and his servants sent a message, telling him to take the calligraphy he had practiced recently to the study in the main courtyard.

Ouyang Jinfeng looked nervous and asked, "Will uncle want to test my homework?" Although he has memorized the "Three Character Classic" and "Book of Songs" and is good at reading books, he is also afraid of the exam.

The servant shook his head and said, "The Eldest Master didn't say to test the homework, he only said that he wanted to read your handwriting."

Ouyang Jinfeng went there for a while and then came back happily. It seemed that he had been praised.

Ouyang Yue followed, and in front of Ouyang Jinfeng and a few servants in the living room, Su Rong said to Ouyang Jinhua: "I misunderstood someone from the Qin family. I didn't send anyone to investigate Qin Huang. You almost lost your life. This matter cannot be overcome by an apology. But if I don't say sorry to you face to face, I will have no face to see you again in the future. "

He has always been kind and amiable at home, but he has served so many officials in the court, and with his own majesty, no one is not afraid of him.
