Chen Niangzi's husband died early, only Xu Dalang has a son under his knees, he has been very pampered since he was a child, and he has been unable to write for so many years, she has a headache when she thinks about it, although she is happy to hear that her son is willing to go up, but she is afraid that she will make trouble outside, so she only shook her head and said: "You study at home and keep to yourself, which is my creation, and this business is not to be done."
Anyway, if you guard me, I can rest assured. ”Xu Dalang had already made up his mind, and raised his voice and said: "My mother doesn't know me yet, it's not a reading material at all, or it's more suitable to do business."
My mother said that I don't know the world.Now that I have made up my mind to become an adult, and you are not allowed to do anything to me, what do you want to call me?
”Mrs.
Chen sighed and said, "You grew up to eighteen years old in front of your mother, and you have never been out at all, what if you are deceived?"
Even your friends, I don't worry. ”Xu Dalang was anxious: "I'm not a daughter, what's the matter with my mother locking me up at home all day long."
What's more, Brother Wu is the one you have ever seen, he is the most old-fashioned and kind-hearted, so why don't you worry. ”At this point, Mrs.
Chen still refused to let go, and Xu Dalang had no choice but to leave stupidly.At this time, Xue Ying finished Mrs.
Tai's dinner, and the maid Yuehua in Li Jia's room came again, this time her face was quite unkind, and she asked, "Why is Mrs.
Chen not here?"
”Xue Ying said: "She just went out, what is the lady looking for her?"
”Yuehua said coldly: "Not long after the little lady finished eating the hand-washing crab, she yelled that her stomach hurt, thinking that she didn't cook cleanly. ”Xue Ying groaned and said, "I know some dietary therapy methods, is the little lady in pain now, can you let me take a look?"
”Yuehua glanced at her and hesitated: "The little lady's stomach pain is not very bad, but Xue Niangzi is not a doctor, can it be useful to see it?"
”Xue Ying smiled: "How do you know it's useless if you don't try?"
”Yuehua pondered: The little lady was afraid that Mrs.
Tai would accuse her of being greedy, and she was unwilling to ask the doctor to publicize it, so it didn't hurt to let Xue Ying take a look.Then he said: "It's okay, Xue Niangzi come with me." ”Xue Ying followed Yuehua to Li Jia's room, and saw that she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a jade-colored cardigan, a pale yellow gown and a hundred-fold skirt, but she looked very coquettish.It's just that the spirit is a little sluggish.Introducing her intentions, Xue Ying asked, "The little lady feels uncomfortable there?"
”Li Jia lay on the couch and whispered: "The crabs I ate just now were blocked in my stomach, but I couldn't vomit them, and my stomach hurt for a while." ”Xue Ying thought darkly: Crabs are cold by nature, and hand-washed crabs are eaten raw, which is normal for damage to the spleen and stomach.said casually: "I'll go make a bowl of orange soup for the little lady, and it will be much better to drink it." ”Yuehua is still hesitating, will a mere bowl of orange soup really have an effect?
Li Jia had another cramp in his abdomen at this time, and he couldn't take care of it, so he hurriedly ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly lead Xue Niangzi to the kitchen to make soup." ”The cook quickly brought orange peel and licorice.Xue Ying put a pound of orange peel, four taels of licorice and four taels of salt into the pot to boil, after boiling over low heat, put the orange peel and licorice out, dry it first, and then pound it into powder and put it in a bowl and rinse it with boiling water, and the orange soup is ready.Xue Ying instructed Yuehua: "The orange soup should be drunk while it is hot, and it should be served to the little lady quickly." ”Yuehua didn't dare to slack off, and quickly fed the soup to Li Jia to drink, and after the hot soup in her stomach, she felt more comfortable in her stomach, and the orange peel was fragrant and pleasant, and she didn't want to vomit so much when she smelled it.Li Jia rested for a while, and suddenly felt abdominal pain again, Yuehua hurriedly said, "Why does the little lady hurt again?"
It seems that the orange soup does not work at all. ”Li Jia only felt that her abdomen hurt from falling to the ground, and she couldn't help it, so she asked the maid to help her go to Dengdong.After a while, Li Jia came back from outside, opened his mouth and said, "This soup is really effective, I feel much more relaxed in my abdomen now." ”Yuehua put her mind at ease and praised: "It's still Xue Niangzi who has the ability." ”Li Jia suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said: "I have no problem eating hand-washing crabs in the past, is it that the crab selected by Mrs.
Chen is not clean this time?"
”Xue Ying is not a virgin, but she doesn't want to frame others in vain, so she hurriedly said: "The procurement of kitchen ingredients is strictly controlled by special personnel, and they don't dare to use dead fish and dead crabs to make up the numbers."
What's more, Mrs.
Chen is a proper person and will never make such a mistake.In my opinion, it should be that the lady has a weak spleen and stomach recently, and the crab is a cold thing, so it will be uncomfortable. ”Li Jia thought about it carefully, he did have some stomach pain two days ago, and seeing that Xue Ying refused to fall into the well, he became more and more fond of her, so he smiled and said: "That's the truth."
Xue Niangzi is the cook girl who was personally selected by Niangniang and her eldest brother yesterday?
After that, if I want to eat, I can go directly to Xue Niangzi. ”This little lady was a little greedy, and her stomach was just better, so she wanted to eat again.This is Xue Ying's first impression of Li Jia.She smiled and said: "There are still some ingredients left to make orange soup, and the lady can use it instead of tea on weekdays, which is the best way to strengthen the spleen and eliminate food." ”Li Jia naturally complied, and suddenly remembered something and said: "I almost forgot, my eldest brother came to see me in the afternoon and tasted a little hand-washing crab, he doesn't have a stomachache like me."
Mrs.
Xue also sent a bowl of orange soup to her eldest brother. ”Xue Ying was really reluctant to do this errand, but the little lady's instructions had to be followed, so she had to bite the bullet.Xue Ying walked all the way and found that there were only a few male servants in Li Wei's room, and there was no maidservant, not only was she a little surprised, shouldn't these sons and daughters of the big family be surrounded by slaves and lean on the red and green?
Li Wei was not in his room, and a subordinate told Xue Ying that he had gone to the study.Xue Ying walked over, the layout here is very simple, there is a large sandalwood case on the ground, which is full of celebrities of the past dynasties.The wall behind the case is full of bookshelves, in which a subset of the classics and histories is displayed, and Li Wei is sitting in front of the desk reading.I have to admit that he was born very well, tall and tall, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, with a light cyan robe, black soft wings, wet like spring moon willows, and rock rocks like winter pines.It's just that he refused to be thousands of miles away: "Xue Niangzi, except for the old servant who waits for pen and ink, no one is allowed to come in my study." ”Xue Ying pursed her lips, tried her best to pretend to be sincere and fearful, and explained her intention to Li Wei, and his expression rarely softened: "Third sister too, my body has always been strong, I don't need to drink orange soup, you can take it back." ”Xue Ying was relieved, and turned around and left without saying a word."
Wait."
Li Wei saw that Xue Ying avoided him like a snake and scorpion, and went without saluting, and said with a slight annoyance in his heart: "Xue Niangzi is really from the market, you go back to find the third sister's teaching lady, and let her teach you the rules well." ”Xue Ying was a little unconvinced, and muttered in a low voice: "I came to your mansion to be a cook, and I didn't come specifically to learn the rules." ”Li Wei's face sank, and he was about to knock Xue Ying a few more words, but he saw an old servant hurriedly walk in and whisper a few words to him, and handed over a piece of letterhead.Li Wei took it and swept it slightly, his expression changed slightly: "The corpses of those people in the shipping department are vegetarian, and I have to clean up the mess for them." ”He threw the letterhead down casually and instructed the old servant: "Prepare a sedan chair, I want to go to the palace." ”Ignoring Xue Ying, he went straight away.Everyone is gone, Xue Ying naturally has no reason to stay in the study and wait for the training, and was about to walk away, but saw that the letterhead on the ground was very eye-catching, so she picked it up and put it on the bookcase.She was taught to read and write by her father since she was a child, and she couldn't help but glance at the letterhead curiously, and immediately understood the reason for Li Wei's annoyance: due to the heavy rain this spring, more than a dozen official ships of the shipping department that were trafficking goods from Zhejiang Road caught up with the flood season and capsized, and a large number of raw silk transported to the capital on it all sank into the river and drifted.It seems that the price of silk in the capital is going to rise again.Chapter 7 Because Li Jia has a bad stomach these days, Mrs.
Tai specially instructed the kitchen to send some light food.On this day, Ri Yuehua took the food box sent from the kitchen, and found that it contained a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and a few plates of pickled vegetables like yesterday, and couldn't help laughing: "The lady is already ready, when will this porridge and side dishes be troubled?"
”Yuehua put the food on the table, and looked at the box again, but there was a plate of pork shoots and steamed buns, which were hurriedly served in front of Li Jia.Li Jia hurriedly took a bite and said, "It's so hot." ”Yuehua smiled: "Lady eat slowly." ”But seeing that Li Jia only ate one steamed bun, he couldn't help but wonder: With the temperament of a little lady, I haven't seen meat for a few days, and when I encounter a meat-stuffed steamed bun today, shouldn't I eat it?
was thinking about it, but Li Jia winked at her and smiled: "Yuehua, I want to eat crabs today." ”Yuehua chuckled in her heart and said busily: "Lady, don't hurt us anymore."
Last time, I had a stomach trouble because I ate crabs, and this time Mrs.
Tai would never agree. ”Li Jia smiled: "I thought about it carefully, the last time it was because I ate raw crabs, so I had a discordant spleen and stomach."
This time, I'll be fine if I eat it. ”Yuehua shook her head: "Whether raw or cooked, crabs are cold by nature.The lady's daughter is noble, in case something goes wrong again, the maids can't afford it. ”After Yuehua finished speaking, the maidservants in the room also followed the advice.Li Jia saw that the situation was not right, so he suddenly turned his face and said: "I don't care, you go and tell the chef Xue Niangzi to let her make a crab dish without cold for dinner." ”Since Li Jia was so stubborn, Yuehua and the others couldn't disobey it, so they had to pass the word to Xue Ying.Since Xue Ying offered orange soup last time and won the favor of Mrs.
Tai and the little lady, the ladies who help the kitchen in the big kitchen are used to looking at the direction of the wind, and most of them are willing to listen to her deployment.The remaining two or three people are friendly with Mrs.
Chen on weekdays, so they have a wait-and-see attitude for the time being.After receiving Li Jia's order, Xue Ying only groaned slightly and smiled: "Then let's make crab stuffed oranges." ”Although Mrs.
Chen was annoyed that Xue Ying had stolen the limelight from Li Jia, but the hand-washing crab she made caused Li Jia to have a stomach upset, Xue Ying did not take the opportunity to fall into the well, and she couldn't say what mood she was in at the moment, so she only said coldly: "Relying only on oranges, I'm afraid I can't solve the cold of crabs." ”Xue Ying glanced at her and said unhurriedly: "I have my own opinions." ”Wang Niangzi has always admired Xue Ying's cooking skills, and said busily: "I'll prepare the materials." ”"Don't forget to grab some sand ginger."
Xue Ying reminded her with a smile.Wang Niangzi was surprised: "Sha ginger is eaten by Lingnan talents, and the taste is heavy, what does Xue Niangzi want it to do?"
”Xue Ying was very sure: "You just have to take it." ”Within a few moments, the materials were ready.Wang Niangzi was skillful, and quickly cut off the top cover of the orange, dug out the flesh and fascia inside the orange, and the orange urn was ready.Immediately afterwards, Wang Niangzi took three live crabs and put them in the cage drawer to steam.When the crab was not hot, Xue Ying and Wang Niangzi sat down to dismantle the crab meat and crab roe together.The umami of the crab wafted to her nose, and Wang Niangzi looked at the golden semi-solid crab paste and praised: "This time the crab is really fat." ”Xue Ying was also aroused by the taste, and sighed: "Crab is the most delicious, in fact, steamed crab is also delicious, just use ginger vinegar to remove the fish." ”While the two were laughing, the crab paste and crab meat had been dismantled, and Xue Ying added a little sweet wine, vinegar and orange juice, and put these ingredients into the orange urn together.Next, Xue Ying scraped the skin of the sand ginger and minced it again, squeezed out the ginger juice and dripped it into the orange urn, and added a small amount of ginger paste.After everything is ready, Wang Niangzi boiled the water, and after the water boiled, she put the orange urn with the lid in it, and it only took half a stick of incense time to make the crab stuffed orange.Xue Ying prepared another plate of sauce with salt and vinegar, put the crab stuffed orange and other side dishes into the food box, and handed it to the maid in Li Jia's room to send it over.As soon as the food box was opened, the unique aroma of crabs came to his face, and there was also the sweetness of oranges, Li Jia was happy to see it: "It's crab stuffed oranges, I haven't eaten them for a long time." ”Yuehua hurriedly brought this dish to her, Li Jia scooped a spoonful of crab meat and put it in her mouth, and found that in addition to the deliciousness of crab meat and the fragrance of oranges, there was also an obvious numb and cool taste, which tasted fresh and refreshing. ”Yuehua was stunned and said: "The maid doesn't know, I think it's nothing more than materials like green onion and ginger." ”Li Jia shook his head and said, "You don't understand, call Xue Niangzi, I will ask her in person." ”Xue Ying came to Li Jia's room, Li Jia raised her own questions, Xue Ying explained with a smile: "I specially added sand ginger to the crab stuffed orange, which can be used in the temperature, eliminate food and relieve pain, and can dissolve the cold of crabs together with oranges." ”Li Jia was curious: "What is sand ginger, why have I never eaten it before?"
”"Sha Jiang is the name of the Lingnan people, and we call it Sanqi in the north.Its meat is whiter and crispier than ginger, with a strong camphor wood aroma and obvious numb cool taste, which can be fishy, and goes well with crabs, but you can't put more, otherwise the taste is a little rushy. ”Li Jia couldn't help but praise: "Mrs.
Xue is really well-informed.In the future, the food in my room will be handed over to Xue Niangzi to be responsible. ”Xue Ying was stunned, she was in charge of Mrs.
Tai's diet, Li Jia's diet had always been in charge of Mrs.
Chen, if she handed it all over to herself, not only would she be too busy, but Mrs.

Chen would become more and more unfair.Xue Ying pondered for a while and persuaded: "Mrs.
Chen is an old man in the house, and her cooking skills have always been very good, so I am afraid it will be inappropriate to change it rashly."
It's better to be like this, the little lady's diet is still Chen Niangzi's responsibility, if you want to eat anything else, just send someone to summon me to do it at any time. ”Li Jia had no choice but to give up, and suddenly winked at Xue Ying and smiled: "Xue Niangzi, you are not familiar with the place when you first come here, if someone bullies you, you can tell me quietly, and I will definitely uphold justice for you." ”Xue Ying hurriedly agreed, thinking: Although Li Jia is simple, he is not stupid, after all, he was born in a family, and he probably knows a little about the private affairs in the inner house.Xue Ying returned to the big kitchen, and it was time for dinner.She smiled and beckoned everyone: "Mrs.
Tai and the little lady have eaten, let's eat too." ”Everyone sat down at the table, and there were still some ingredients left for making crab stuffed oranges, Xue Ying put it on a plate and said with a smile: "Let's try it too, crabs are very good for rice." ”Wang Niangzi was the first to pick up a chopstick crab meat to taste, and praised: "It's so delicious, Xue Niangzi added sand ginger to the crab meat is really a stroke of genius, which not only does not cover up the saltiness and freshness of the crab, but also integrates the spicy flavor of the sand ginger, and also dissolves the coldness of the crab, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone." ”Wang Niangzi's words aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all stretched out their chopsticks to the plate of crab meat, and they all praised Xue Ying's cooking skills.Only Mrs.
Chen refused to move her chopsticks.Xue Ying decided to take the initiative to break this embarrassment, and asked with a smile: "Does Mrs.
Chen have no appetite, this plate of yellow sprouts is very refreshing, can you try it?"
”Chen Niangzi sneered: "Xue Niangzi's means of buying people's hearts, I don't look down on it." ”"Oh."
Xue Ying was originally short-tempered, but she had been restrained when she first arrived, since Chen Niangzi was stubborn, she didn't have to endure it anymore, and asked rhetorically: "Taking other people's kindness as ulterior motives, this is Chen Niangzi's way of dealing with the world?"
”Wang Niangzi saw that the two of them were quite tense, and hurriedly persuaded: "Gossip aside, today's dishes are very rich, let's hurry up and eat." ”Xue Ying didn't intend to stop there, so she simply raised her voice and said, "I'm a straight person, and the ladies in the big kitchen are here today, so I simply made it clear."
Since I entered the house, I have been living in harmony with everyone, and I have never offended Mrs.
Chen, but Mrs.
Chen has targeted me everywhere, nothing more than jealousy that I have robbed you of your position.I am a chef by skill, if Mrs.
Chen is not convinced, she might as well try to compete with me. ”Chen Niangzi raised her eyebrows and said: "It's better than it, I've been working in the big kitchen for ten years, I don't believe it's better than you little lady." ”Xue Ying suddenly smiled: "Okay, Mrs.
Chen is really a bright person, let's talk ugly in front, if I win this time, in the big kitchen in the future, you need to listen to my deployment."
Vice versa. ”"Okay, Xue Niangzi, don't regret it."
Mrs.
Chen agreed without hesitation.Xue Ying said in a deep voice: "I have always done what I say.It's late today, and we'll compare it tomorrow at noon.For the sake of fairness, we cook the same dish, and the ladies in the big kitchen are the judges. ”All the ladies present are young and good, and when they heard that Chen Niangzi and Xue Ying were going to try their cooking skills, they all expressed their approval.Mrs.
Chen asked again: "Then what do we cook?"
”Xue Ying smiled firmly: "It's good that Mrs.
Chen decides." ”"How about Sichuan fried chicken?"
Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, Wang Niangzi thought she was going to regret it, but she quickly came back to her senses and said, "Okay." ”After dinner, Xue Ying returned to her room and was about to rest, but Wang Niangzi came to look for her.Wang Niangzi got straight to the point and said: "Why do you need to compete with Mrs.
Chen, you are the chef personally set by Mrs.
Tai, even if she disobeys the allocation, just send her to do something inconsequential." ”Xue Ying knew that she had good intentions, and said with a smile: "I have my own opinions, firstly, I have confidence in my cooking skills, and secondly, Mrs.
Chen's cooking skills are good, even if she is dissatisfied with me, she will put it on her face and will not make ghosts behind her back."
If you want such a person to be convinced, you just need to outperform her in strength. ”Wang Niangzi is still not at ease: "That's it, it's just that Chen Niangzi is from Meizhou and is the best at cooking Sichuan rice, and Xue Niangzi may not have a chance to win this time." ”"Meizhou, Sichuan fried chicken."
Xue Ying lost her mind for a moment, and she suddenly remembered the days of her childhood.Xue Ying is also a native of Shu and his ancestral home is Yizhou.Xue Ying's mother died early, and since she can remember, she has been displaced with her father, and she has spent the time from the age of eight to ten years at her uncle's house in Meizhou.According to her father, the ancestors of the Xue family went up to business, and in her grandfather's generation, due to poor management, they fell into trouble from a well-off family.In my father's generation, I can only barely survive by selling my property.Later, my father was really desperate, so he had to go to Meizhou to seek refuge with his brother-in-law.At this time, their mother had already passed away, their aunt was very spicy, and their uncle was cowardly, and their situation in Meizhou can be imagined.Fortunately, my father writes a good handwriting and is good at drawing, and the father and daughter make a living by selling words, so as not to be too blind.Many childhood memories are blurred, but there is one thing that has been marked on her heart.The author has something to say: after writing this chapter, I couldn't help but order the takeout of the spicy chicken......
Chapter 8 Shu people are still delicious, so spicy, my uncle was the county chief at the time, and his life was quite passable, and the kitchen lady at home often made Sichuan rice such as ginger and spicy soup and big braised noodles.Xue Ying was not used to eating it at first, but later she slowly adapted to it and gradually liked the spicy taste.One day Xue Ying was playing on the edge of the kitchen, the cook was cooking Sichuan fried chicken, and the fragrance of Sichuan pepper came for a while, and she felt very hungry.But she knew that it was a snack for her uncle and aunt, and she and her father were not qualified to eat it.After the dish was fried, the cook happened to have something to go out, she really couldn't resist the temptation of Sichuan fried chicken, so she went into the kitchen and tasted a piece, Sichuan pepper fragrant and sesame, the chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, she ate a piece and wanted to eat another piece, and soon, the Sichuan fried chicken on the plate was a lot less.Soon after the cook returned to the kitchen, she noticed something strange and said in surprise: "Who stole the chicken, why did it become less?"
”My aunt happened to be passing by at this time, sneered, raised her voice and said, "What's so hard to guess, there are so many people in the family, you should be a beggar and ask Hanako to eat." ”Xue Ying hid in the distance, but she could never forget her uncle's disdainful expression, which was the most humiliating moment in her life.Since then, she has never eaten Sichuan fried chicken again.At noon the next day, all the ladies in the big kitchen knew that Xue Ying and Mrs.
Chen were going to try their cooking skills, so they went to wait early.Sichuan pepper, ginger and garlic are the three indispensable magic weapons for making Sichuan rice.Chen Niangzi and Xue Ying want to make Sichuan fried chicken today, and naturally these three seasonings are indispensable.Xue Ying uses chicken thighs to make Sichuan fried chicken, marinated with pepper, sweet wine and starch, and then fried directly in an oil pan.Xue Ying quickly prepared a small bowl of sauce with milk, water, soy sauce, and salt.Add a wok to heat up again, add a little sesame oil, add the fried chicken pieces and a large amount of Sichuan pepper, green onion, ginger, garlic and stir-fry, pour in the sauce when it comes out of the pot, and the Sichuan fried chicken is ready.On the other side, Mrs.
Chen's approach seems to be different from Xue Ying's, she also chooses chicken thighs, but after putting a small amount of oil and frying it slightly, she pours boiling water and starts cooking, and the amount of Sichuan pepper and ginger and garlic is also less than that of Xue Ying.After the two versions of Sichuan fried chicken were ready, the unique hemp aroma of Sichuan pepper filled the whole room, and everyone felt hungry and picked up chopsticks to taste.Wang Niangzi first tasted the Sichuan fried chicken made by Xue Ying, because of the large use of Sichuan pepper, ginger and garlic, the dish was so spicy that she was straight in the mouth, but the strange thing is that once she got used to it, this spicy taste attracted her to continue to taste, the chicken skin is crispy, with the salty aroma of milk, but the inside is very soft, not at all as dry as the Sichuan fried chicken that has been tasted in the market.She ate three pieces in a row before she reluctantly put down her chopsticks.Wang Niangzi then tasted the Sichuan fried chicken made by Chen Niangzi, because it was stewed for a period of time, the chicken was very soft and delicious, and an appropriate amount of Sichuan pepper, ginger and garlic was added to enhance the flavor and highlight the fresh aroma of the chicken.This dish has a peaceful taste, which is obviously more acceptable to northerners who are not used to eating Sichuan rice.However, Mrs.
Wang always felt that something was missing, maybe it was a spicy and enjoyable feeling.When everyone tasted it and put forward their own opinions, there were as many people who supported Xue Ying as there were people who supported Chen Niangzi.People who support Xue Ying have the same opinion as Wang Niangzi: they like the spicy taste of Sichuan fried chicken, and it is enjoyable to eat, while those who support Chen Niangzi think that Xue Ying's dishes are almost numb to their tongues, too rushed, or the chicken nuggets made by Chen Niangzi are softer and more delicious.Wang Niangzi frowned and said: "In this way, the cooking skills of the two ladies are equal, and there is no difference between victory and defeat."
It's just that since I have to compete, there must be a result, do I want to find some more people to be referees?
”Chen Niangzi silently tasted a piece of Sichuan fried chicken made by Xue Ying, and asked with a moving expression: "Xue Niangzi is also from Shu?"
”Xue Ying's expression was a little stunned, and he paused for a moment and said, "Yes, I just came to Bianjing after I was ten years old." ”Chen Niangzi suddenly smiled: "I don't need to find someone to judge anymore, it's because I am not good at cooking, and I am willing to bow down."
In the future, in the big kitchen, I am willing to accept Xue Niangzi's deployment. ”After everyone looked at each other for a while, a little lady said angrily: "Obviously, the Sichuan fried chicken made by Mrs.
Chen is more flavorful and delicious, why does Mrs.
Chen say that she is not good at cooking?"
”Xue Ying only smiled and did not speak.Mrs.
Chen was silent for a moment and said: "Because in Shudi, people do this to stir-fry chicken. ”Mrs.
Chen paused and said, "It's just that in Bianjing, most people are not used to overly spicy Sichuan fried chicken.I wanted to win this contest so much, so I made improvements.But the dishes made are not the taste of home. ”She suddenly remembered that when she first entered the Li Mansion as a cook, she had also made an authentic version of Sichuan fried chicken, but after she finished it, the master and servant of the Li Mansion did not appreciate it, saying that the dishes she made were too spicy.Since then, when she cooks Sichuan rice, she consciously puts less Sichuan pepper and ginger and garlic, and strives to adapt to the taste of everyone in the house.It's just that today she tasted the Sichuan fried chicken made by Xue Ying, and the taste of her childhood was resurrected, and she really couldn't go against her heart and say that Xue Ying didn't do well.The winner has been decided, everyone will sit down to eat snacks with peace of mind, Wang Niangzi saw that Xue Ying was stunned and just didn't move the chopsticks, and there was no joy after winning on her face, so she couldn't help asking: "This Sichuan fried chicken is made by Xue Niangzi herself, and it tastes good with rice, why don't you eat it?"
”Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, and then put a piece of chicken in her mouth.The spicy smell was familiar and unfamiliar.It's shocking, eleven years have passed, and she is now self-reliant, and she is no longer the panicked, sensitive and fragile girl she was at the beginning, but those humiliating memories have taken root in her brain, and they will linger no matter what.Because Xue Ying and Chen Niangzi tried Sichuan fried chicken today, the materials were prepared more, and the lunch sent to Li Wei also had this dish, and the unique spicy smell of Sichuan pepper was extremely domineering, and Li Wei couldn't help frowning when he smelled it.Zheng Liang, the old servant waiting on the side, looked at him and said busily: "This Sichuan fried chicken is too spicy, I'm afraid it doesn't suit Ah Lang's appetite, so let's remove it and let the cook change it to other dishes." ”Li Wei was noncommittal on his face, paused and asked, "This is made by the newcomer Xue Niangzi?"
”"Exactly."
Levi said lightly: "Present it." ”Zheng Liang moved the dish to Li Wei, he casually took a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, a numb and choking taste rushed straight to his head, he lowered his face and put down his chopsticks: Li Jia praised Xue Ying's cooking skills to himself several times, didn't Sichuan Jiao want money, she actually put so much.Zheng Liang sighed and removed the dish without saying a word."
Wait."
When the spicy taste on the tip of his tongue subsided, Li Wei suddenly felt unfinished, and inexplicably wanted to taste a piece, Zheng Liang had to put it on again, and to his great surprise, Li Wei actually ate several pieces in a row.Fine sweat broke out on Li Wei's forehead, he took a sip of Longtuan tea to neutralize the spicy in his mouth, and thought to himself: This Sichuan fried chicken is still quite delicious if you taste it carefully.Recently, Li Wei had an important piece to write into the imperial review, and after eating a few pieces of chicken, he hurriedly used some snacks and went to the study.Before leaving, he instructed Zheng Liang to bring the plate of Sichuan fried chicken with him.When he went to clean up the dishes in the evening, Zheng Liang found that the plate of Sichuan fried chicken had actually bottomed out, that is, Li Wei finished eating the chicken while writing the slash, and couldn't help but drop his jaw in shock.Zheng Liang has served Li Wei for many years and knows his temperament very well: because he studied science under Cheng Yuan since he was a child, he pays the most attention to motivation and forbearance, abstinence and restraint, and has never loved beautiful clothes and clothes, and is not greedy for appetite.Therefore, even though he was not married at the age of twenty-six, there was not even a waiting maid in the room.But now it has been ruined by a plate of Sichuan fried chicken!

For a few days, Mrs.
Chen didn't go to the big kitchen on an errand, Xue Ying thought she was still awkward in her heart, and asked Mrs.
Wang, who knew that she sighed and said, "Mrs.
Chen is also a poor person." ”Xue Ying was surprised: "How do you say this?
”"Mrs.
Chen's husband died early, leaving behind a posthumous son, who has been raising him with hard work for so many years.Xu is too pampered, and now that he is twenty years old, he can't do anything, and Chen Niangzi has a headache when she mentions this son.In the past few days, there has been a sudden new trick, saying that she wants to go to Yangzhou with her friends to sell spices, and she has to pay for Mrs.
Chen.Mrs.
Chen couldn't be troubled by him, she was angry and annoyed, and the old problem of not being able to eat with a stuffy chest was committed again, so she has been sick in bed for the past few days. ”Xue Ying said in her heart: "I'll go see Mrs.
Chen." ”The author has something to say: I copied a few more flowers from my friend CP Qingshan Yuanyan to read the little cutie.{__/} (·-·) /&gtHuahua Chapter 9 Chen Niangzi in the room.Xu Dalang said all the good things, but his mother just refused to let go, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Why doesn't my mother believe me, I really want to be an adult this time."
If you are still lazy as usual, I will ......"
Chen Niangzi hurriedly blocked her son's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
I'll think about it again and give you an answer tomorrow. ”Chen Dalang sighed, saw that his mother was very haggard, and persuaded again: "Even if my mother has no appetite, I still want to eat something, I'll go and make you a bowl of noodles." ”"No need."
Mrs.
Chen waved her hand to stop: "I can't eat in my chest now, just ask the lady in the big kitchen to bring me a bowl of porridge at night." ”Xu Dalang sighed again and stomped away.Xue Ying came to the front of Chen Niangzi's room and saw Xu Dalang's eyes red, and couldn't help asking, "How is Ling Tang's body?"
”Xu Dalang smiled bitterly: "My mother is sick, and I only blame me for being a son." ”Xue Ying didn't say much to Xu Dalang, opened the curtain and entered the room.Mrs.
Chen lay on an old bed and greeted her: "Mrs.
Xue is here, and they all say that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.Now it's a joke for you. ”Xue Ying persuaded softly: "I already know about the affairs of Mrs.
Chen's family.Speaking of which, Ling Lang is already an adult, if he is really willing to change his life, this is naturally good.But then again, if he really doesn't change, we have no other way, half of us are manpowered, half of them are resigned to the destiny of heaven.In any case, keeping him at home and not knowing the world's feelings is not a long-term solution.Chen Niangzi simply let him do it, and when he was not familiar with life outside, he naturally had to be more diligent, and it was unknown if he had experienced it. ”Chen Niangzi sighed and said: "What you said is not true, if you say that my son, because his father died early, I am a little looser, some arrogance is true, but the nature is not bad, and it is filial piety to me, it is not impossible for him to go out and learn some good behavior."
It's just that he has never done business before, saying that he wants to sell spices, and he doesn't understand the market, in case he is deceived and loses all his money, half of my life savings will be filled in. ”Xue Ying pondered for a while and said, "Lady Chen doesn't have to worry.In my opinion, Ling Lang didn't have to do the spice business, it was more appropriate to go to Hangzhou to buy some raw silk and sell it back to Beijing. ”Chen Niangzi hurriedly asked: "It seems that Xue Niangzi knows some inside information?"
”Xue Ying lowered her voice: "I also heard some rumors, because of the flood, the raw silk transported from Zhejiang Road to the capital was damaged into the canal.According to my prediction, the price of raw silk in the capital will rise this year, and Ling Lang will not lose money if he does raw silk trading.My uncle was a tea merchant in Hangzhou, and he also knew some businessmen, so Ling Lang went to Hangzhou, and I asked him to take care of it. ”Mrs.
Chen was very grateful, and looked at Xue Ying in a daze: "Mrs.
Xue has superb cooking skills and is an excellent person, but I was narrow-minded a few days ago, and I thought that you occupied the magpie's nest, which is really ashamed." ”Xue Ying smiled: "We don't have to mention the past, and I'm not as good as you think."
I also have to pay for this raw silk business, and when the time comes, I will share it with Ling Lang, and Mrs.
Chen will not agree?
”Chen Niangzi couldn't help laughing: "The way is what you found, you want a piece of the pie, what's wrong with this." ”She suddenly felt a little more relaxed, otherwise she owed Xue Ying too much, and she would not be able to repay it for a while.After saying goodbye to Mrs.
Chen, Xue Ying originally wanted to go to the big kitchen, but her mind suddenly moved again, and she inquired about Xu Dalang's residence and went straight to the door.She didn't talk nonsense with Xu Dalang, and directly told him about her and Mrs.
Chen's decision, Xu Dalang was really overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Mrs.
Xue for turning the circle for me in front of my mother, and showing us a clear way."
Xue Niangzi, don't worry, I won't give you any less money you deserve. ”Xue Ying's uncle is a fine person, with him in Hangzhou to keep an eye on him, there should be nothing wrong, what she is worried about now is not these, and said with a faint smile: "There are rules in the business field, and the shares are shared, and the specific terms must be written and charged."
When we went back, we discussed writing a paperwork, and there were black and white words, and no one could suffer a loss.But there is something I want to tell you. ”Xu Dalang didn't expect Xue Ying to be young, but he was very sophisticated, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "Xue Niangzi, please speak." ”
