Today's Jinbuju is particularly lively, Yan knows that Yao Shi is going to bring a few friends from the academy to the house as guests, so he will close the door of Guiyun Pavilion early to go home to cook, but in the end there is a large population, and the meals are rich, when Yao Shi and his party entered the door, the meals were not ready.

Yan Shi came out of the kitchen when he heard the sound, and saw that there was a young man next to Yao Shiwei, this person she knew, it was the eldest son of the Wu family, Yan Shi glanced at Yao Shiwei, the latter understood, and took Wu Shiwei to the hall, and Lan Xin put down his burden and went directly to the kitchen.

Wu Shiwei first made a junior salute with Yan, and then followed into the hall, Yao Zheng was playing chess with Chen Jinhai, Mao Xiucai sat on the side and watched seriously, muttering a few words from time to time, suddenly, Mao Xiucai slapped his thigh, pointed to the chessboard and looked at Chen Jinhai and frowned, the meaning could not be more obvious: how to move this chess, a mistake, a mistake.

Chen Jinhai shrugged helplessly, "How can my chess skills compare to the owner, Brother Xiucai, don't talk about me, come on, come on, come on." As he spoke, he gave Mao Xiucai a place.

Yao Shi looked at this situation, and his heart was also very happy, thinking about this time a year ago, his father and mother were still planting crops in the field, and when the autumn harvest came, he was not sure how much rations he could keep in his hands, but now he was fine, although he was tired of running Guiyun Pavilion, he could earn more and earn less by himself.

"Dad, Mr. Mao, Mr. Chen... Yao Shi stepped into the threshold, smiled and saluted the three of them, Wu Shiwei also hurriedly saluted, and there were two other people in the room he didn't know, so he consciously introduced himself.

Chen Jinhai and Mao Xiucai glanced at Wu Shiwei, they liked it very much, and hurriedly asked him to sit down, although it was the relationship between the elders and the juniors, but Wu Shiwei had also seen the world, and had a set of ways to get along with the elders.

Yao Jiang was in the kitchen, Yao Yan was a little surprised, his father never let him enter the kitchen more.

"Second sister, do you want to eat?" Yao Jiang handed Yao a ball ball, Yao Yan took a bite, and then said, "How is the homework assigned by Mr."

Yao Jiang smiled, "With Mao Xiucai here, naturally it's no problem, and I don't dare to be lazy, why hasn't Brother Wei Za come yet?"

"It will take a while for them to arrive, and you will think about him every day, and you will have a basket of toys for you, and you will not be embarrassed to see you. After Yao Xi ate the hemp ball in a few bites, he couldn't help but laugh and ridicule, so he went to help the Yan family.

Yao Jiang smiled secretly, took another hemp ball, and then ran out with a smoke, but took a book and sat on the swing in the yard.

Only then did Yan ask, "Why didn't you come back with the two children of Changwen and Xi Ran?"

"There are a lot of carriages on the road, and they are probably stuck behind, but they all know the road anyway, so I will come back to help first. Yao Yan looked at the materials on the board, "Niang is going to make steamed vegetables today." ”

Yan Shi nodded and hummed: "Those two children like to eat steamed vegetables, but I don't know what the Wu family's children like to eat, I will make a few more home-cooked stir-fried dishes and stews." ”

Lan Xin's stove was burning vigorously, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said greedily: "Madame's cooking, Lan Xin likes to eat everything." ”

Yan Shi laughed, "You are all gluttonous cats, I'm worried about whether there are enough dishes on this table." ”

Yao Yan smiled: "When they didn't eat, they had to break their stomachs." As he spoke, he picked out the pork belly that had been cooked in a large pot and the smell of meat suddenly came to his nose, and the hot smoke wafted everywhere along with the smell of meat.

Lan Xin swallowed her saliva, hurriedly went to get a clean plate to hold, and then turned around to wash and heat the middle pot, while Yao Xi went to get the oil pot.

The first step of steaming pork is to fry the pork belly, and fry the outer layer of the pork belly until it is browned.

Yan put down the shredded meat that was being cut in his hand, holding the pork belly that had been cooled in one hand and the lid of the pot in the other.

Yan Shi probed the temperature of the oil, and then carefully and quickly slid the pork belly into the oil pot, at the same time, the lid of the pot was also instantly buckled, only to hear a crackling sound in the pot, and the people who listened to it were shocked, but because of this step, the pork belly can be fat but not greasy, fragrant and smooth.

Lan Xin sat down in front of the stove again, added a handful of firewood to the stove, and lit another smaller pot.

At this time, Yan has prepared all kinds of condiments, wait for the small pot to heat, add appropriate oil, pour all the condiments into it, stir-fry until the fragrance is fragrant, add a bowl of water, and then cover the pot and cook for a while, this is the sauce of the steamed meat.

The sound of the explosion in the oil pot was much smaller, and Yan estimated that it was almost there, so he opened the lid of the pot, and he didn't see a few drops of hot oil splashing out, which was a good time.

Take out the fried pork belly and put it on the plate, but it is not finished, take another piece of brown sugar, while the pork belly is still hot, rub the brown sugar on the skin, and then pour the sauce on the skin, this is called coloring.

At this point, the pork belly is ready, just wait for it to cool and cut it into slices.

On the other side, Yao Xi has already put the boiled juice in a bowl for later use, after the pork belly is cut, then pour the juice, and then put it into the steamer to steam for an hour, when it comes out, the steamed meat is lubricated and fragrant, and it melts in the mouth, but it is not greasy, the juice is all steamed into the meat, sweet and salty, and then with the vegetables at the bottom of the bowl, not to mention how delicious it is.

There was a sound outside the kitchen, Yao Xian guessed that Qiu Ji and Xin Xiran came, just walked out of the kitchen door, and two tall men came side by side, at this time the sunset will be slanted to the west, sprinkling a gentle sunset afterglow from behind, looking very harmonious.

When Xin Xiran saw her, she laughed and sniffed, "It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten the dishes made by my aunt for a long time." As he spoke, he was about to enter the door.

Yao Yan stopped at the door, you go to the hall to sit, the kitchen is smoky, not to mention the dirty, you can't help much.

Yan's voice came from inside: "Come on, come in and get a few hemp balls to eat, the meal will take an hour, pad your stomach first." ”

Xin Xiran smiled, bypassed Yao Shi and went into the kitchen, and then ran to Yan's side affectionately and called Auntie.

Yan really likes this child, he looks very simple and likable, and he is also very interested in Yao Shi.

Qiu Ji walked behind and followed in, although he was not as cordial and enthusiastic as Xin Xiran, but he was very sincere and sincere.

In fact, Changwen is a child, Yan also likes it, alas... She sighed in her heart, picked up two plates of various snacks and handed them to the two, and then laughed and blasted the two out like ducks.

Yao Yan looked into the courtyard, and Yao Jiang was not on the swing, so he was afraid that he was going to play with Wei Za again.

Approaching the end of the unitary time, the meals were put on the table one after another, more than a dozen people sat around the round table, Yao Zhenghe also deliberately took out the old wine made by the Yan family in the early years, the moonlight in the courtyard was just right, and a table of people chatted while eating and drinking, and the time was as fast as a snap of a finger.

After eating, the women went to clean up the mess, and the men chatted in the courtyard, Yao Zheng and Qiu Ji's chess skills were the most obedient, and it was easy to wait for Qiu Ji to come to play, so he didn't care about the face of the elders, and pulled Qiu Ji to play chess.

Fushimi was a little unconvinced, and muttered: "The young master's chess skills are good, why don't you play two games with the old man?"

Xin Xiran didn't care, and walked to the kitchen, "They play their chess, and I'll go and wash the dishes myself." ”

Fushimi obediently shut up, and he knew that their young master would not miss any time with Miss Yao.

I didn't really let him wash the dishes, at most he handed a bowl next to him or something, but Yao Xi knew that chess was playing outside, and Xin Xiran didn't have anything to do, so he didn't drive him away, and the two talked and laughed, and they were in harmony.

When it was over, it was too late, so everyone packed up and prepared to leave, and when they were leaving, Qiu Ji told Yao Xi a few words about tomorrow's competition, and what she said was to make her feel at ease.

Yao Xian was not nervous, after all, she tried her best or something, if she really lost, it would be because her skills were not as good as others, and she was willing to bow down.

sent a few sons out of the door, and when he came back, he saw that the lights in the hall were still on, so Yao Xi walked over to take a look, but his father was still pondering while his chin was in meditation.

"What was Daddy thinking?" she asked.

Yao Zhenghe saw her come in, "I was about to call you, and your mother and I decided to buy a house in the city."

Guiyun Pavilion's income is becoming more and more stable, in addition to the one hundred taels of rent paid to Wu Ji every month, there is still a surplus of one hundred taels left, which is somewhat surplus, anyway, I have to settle down in Beijing, it is best to buy a house by myself, and it is not good to live in someone else's house all the time. ”

Yao Xi snorted and sat down next to her, she knew that the income of Guiyun Pavilion was good, and it could even be compared with Wu Ji Restaurant, but Wu Ji Restaurant had three floors, but Guiyun Pavilion only had one floor, in fact, on the other hand, Guiyun Pavilion was even better.

The reason why he promised a rent of 100 taels per month was actually to borrow the name of Wu Ji but not to hang the name of Wu Ji, otherwise Guiyun Pavilion had just opened for more than a month, how could there be so many customers, part of the reason was because the fourth shopkeeper of the Wu family, Lin Dao, was in the opening day, although no one arrived, he could give a generous gift.

The development of Guiyun Pavilion is very good, Yao Yan understands this, but... She thought for a while, and then said, "I heard from my mother, the eldest sister wants to bring the child to Beijing, and she is not ready to stay in Liu's house?"

During the snowstorm last year, Yao Ling followed the Liu family to move to the east of Yuezhou, until later Xiaotou Village had an accident, and there was no contact, it was only recently that the family got in touch with the family, and heard that the family settled in Beijing, Yao Ling revealed a strong intention to come to Beijing in the letter.

Of course, she can't come alone, and the Liu family is not allowed, so if she wants to come, she must bring her children and husband.

Yao Xi hesitated a little, the virtue of the Liu family, she was disgusted in her heart, if she still lived under the same roof, where could she stand it.

What's more, his Liu family is not without a house to live in, and the family has just improved, so he is busy getting a piece of the pie, and this character is even more disgusting.

At the beginning, his father was discounted by Dai Binglun, Yao Xian wanted to ask the Liu family to help, but he only got Yao Ling's thirty copper plates, if she hadn't poked the sore spot of Old Man Liu, the Liu family would not have come forward to settle it in the end.

As for Yao Ling, she was furious when she thought that she would give her to an old man who had a baby fetish.

Dad wants to change houses, I'm afraid part of the reason is that he wants to give Yao Ling's family of three a place to live.

Yao Xi thought about it carefully again before he said solemnly: "Dad, this house... She didn't know how to explain it for a moment, but it was her name on the title deed. Although she has always planned to send Qiu Ji an equivalent value, after all, it is not her style to take it for nothing, but in the eyes of her father, I am afraid that it will not be a trivial matter.

"This house is actually... I asked Qiu Ji to buy it for me. She was slightly dull and said something vague.

Yao Zhenghe really didn't understand much: "Let Changwen buy it for you?"

"He bought the house, but the name on the title deed is mine, so I can be regarded as borrowing it from him. She thought of a plausible reason.

But even so, Yao Zheng frowned, he was afraid that he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yao Zheng's next sentence.

"Dad, if the Liu family comes, have you ever thought about us? When we are in trouble, they don't care about themselves, but we are just getting started, and they are anxious to post it.

What's more, this is a bottomless pit, once we accept it at the beginning, then no matter what happens in the future, as long as we don't meet his intentions, he has the ability to make trouble, and in turn he will beat a rake.

Dad, what Guiyun Pavilion does is reputation, the reason why he invited so many rich and noble sons, and even did not hesitate to pay a rent of 100 taels per month to get in touch with the Wu family, and even let Jingzhao Yin Liao Weizhang also get involved in it, I did all this to gain a good reputation.

The current Guiyun Pavilion can't withstand the toss of the Liu family, and if you don't pay attention, he will destroy the Guiyun Pavilion that we have worked so hard to run. ”

Although Yao Xian said this is a bit exaggerated, she is also telling the truth, even if it is not now, it will be the future, what kind of virtuous people do things, when there was a snow disaster, Yao Ling followed the Liu family and said to leave, regardless of the life or death of her mother's family, there is really no need to show mercy at this time.
