Shopkeeper Zhu was in his own restaurant, drinking the newly delivered spring tea with his legs crossed, while waiting for the good news that Shuangxi Lou was seized.

Shopkeeper Zhu was so angry that he smashed a set of cloisonné cups, and hated the family surnamed Li for taking the money but not doing things well, so he had to find someone to reprimand him.

But said that over there in Ningxi, Rong Daquan went to the street to buy several books that could be used in the chef assessment and gave them to Ningxi: "Ningxi, the chef assessment is divided into two parts, one is cooking, as long as you have a certain understanding of the ingredients, you can make the ingredients randomly assigned by the other party, and the taste can pass the assessment of the five examiners, which is very reassuring to us; The other part is the written test, most of the content of the test is in these books, but the time is a little rushed, and you are afraid that you will have to work harder these days. ”

Ning Xi took the book with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Rong." After a casual look at it, she found that the book was all about some superficial cooking knowledge, nothing more than characteristics and cooking methods, etc., and the latter also focused on the mutual growth and restraint of various ingredients, which were only a small part of what she was already familiar with, and for her, there was no need to spend time here.

It's just that he didn't want to live up to Rong Daquan's heart, Ning Xi carefully put the book aside: "Brother Rong has a heart, I will take a good look at it, you go and get busy first, I can't cook now, and everything in the kitchen depends on you." ”

"Look at what you say, these things are my business." After Rong Daquan finished speaking, he strode to the kitchen.

Ning Xi had nothing to do, so he went to the warehouse and found a big bag of ginger to come out, ready to make some snacks to accompany the meal.

Cut the tender ginger into small slices, blanch water to remove part of the spiciness, soak it in honey, and take it out when you want to eat it, which is a sweet, crispy and delicious pre-dinner snack honey ginger; There is also bad ginger, it is to select a complete good ginger, can not touch the raw water, wipe it with a dry cloth, after it is half dry, add the aged dregs and an appropriate amount of salt according to the amount of one to one, plus the purple-red morning glory picked on the same day, go to the stem and mix the sugar and ginger together and seal it in the urn, the urn can be opened after seven days, the ginger is bright red and good-looking, and the flavor is particularly special.

Meng Shuangshuang greeted the guests in front, and after being busy for a long time, it was easy to have time to drink saliva and catch his breath, and suddenly remembered Ning Xi, so he went to the backyard to see her, and when he saw that she was busy, he asked, "Didn't Brother Rong say that you were reading?" What are you messing up again? ”

Ning Xi smiled: "Anyway, it's nothing, make some pre-dinner snacks." ”

"What time is it now, you still do this, don't get it, hurry up and endorse it, Brother Rong said that as long as he memorizes the few books he bought, it will not be a problem to pass the guò chef assessment."

"Shuangshuang, you said that in our restaurant, do the chefs, second chefs, and third chefs have chef brands?"

"Of course, after your accident, I was worried that something would be wrong, so I asked them to show me all the chef cards."

"Then you say, even they can pass the chef card, how can I not pass the exam, what are you worried about!"

"Are you serious?"

"Naturally, seriously, when did I lie to you?"

"That's right, what are you doing now?"

"I'm going to make some brown sugar ginger, making these things is trivial and time-consuming, and I usually don't have time to do it, so I'll make it first while I have a few days to spare." I saw Ning Xi take out the dried plums prepared in advance, take a bottle of ginger slices and stack them with a layer of dried plums, and finally seal it with brown sugar mixed with morning glory, "After pickling, this brown sugar ginger is sweet and sour and slightly spicy, and it is the most appetizing." ”

Meng Shuangshuang sighed: "That is, you will have so much mind to fiddle with these foods." ”

Ning Xi smiled: "I really like to do these things, and I won't feel tired when I do it, by the way, how is Miss An doing these days, and has she complained about it?" ”

"I didn't expect her to be quite motivated, and she has been cutting cucumbers hard these days!"

"What about the prince of Qi, who hasn't come to the door these days?"

"Yes, I've been here a few times in the first few days since it opened, but it's been missing for a few days."

Jun Shaofeng was sitting in Jun Qianyu's study, boredly flipping through a new book, suddenly sneezed loudly, and couldn't help rubbing his arms: "In this broad daylight, who is talking about the master!" ”

A few days ago, he went to the workshop to drink, for a singing song Qing Qi'er and the youngest son of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had a little conflict, and made some small things, and was detained at home by the King of Qi to think about it behind closed doors.

Unexpectedly, Jun Qianyu was summoned into the palace by the queen mother early in the morning, and he hadn't come back yet, but fortunately he had a book with him that he had bought back for the little girl, so he wouldn't be too bored.

I almost fell asleep, and suddenly heard a noise outside the door, it sounded like Jun Qianyu was back, and a girl came forward to greet him but was called away by him, Jun Shaofeng was just about to stand up and go out to see what was going on, when he saw Jun Qianyu come in angrily, threw a booklet on the desk, and went to pour herbal tea to drink.

"Yo, fifth brother, what's wrong? Could it be that the queen mother is still angry with you? ”

Jun Qianyu sneered: "I didn't give it, but I gave it." He gestured to the booklet on the table.

Jun Shaofeng curiously picked up the booklet and flipped it over, read a few pages, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there are so many stunning beauties in this book, is there no one in the fifth brother who is eye-catching?" ”

"If you want to take a fancy to it, marry it and go home as soon as possible, so as not to be favored by my mother, but it will not be your turn."

Jun Shaofeng laughed: "The queen mother forced you to marry a wife again, fifth brother, I didn't say you, you will be nineteen in two months, and there is not even a woman in the house, which is too unusual." ”

Jun Qianyu frowned: "What's so good about women, it's annoying to death." "As a prince, as early as thirteen or fourteen years old, the palace will arrange for experienced palace maids to come to enlightenment, but I don't know if it was his bad luck or something else, in short, this first experience was extremely bad, not only did it not succeed, but also made him very painful, and he was so angry that he kicked people out of bed.

The palace maid was frightened, kneeling and begging bitterly, tears and snot on her face, and a white body of flesh kept swaying in front of his eyes, which only made him nauseous, but he still didn't say anything about it in the end, firstly, because he didn't want to kill in vain, and secondly, he felt faceless and didn't want to mention it again.

Anyway, from then on, he had no good feelings for women, and he drove away all those sent by the queen to serve him mercilessly.

Sixteen years old out of the palace to open the palace, the queen gave him two beauties, he placed them in the backyard is not much, these two people secretly fought first, Jun Qianyu is a good martial artist, before the opening of the mansion has been thrown by the emperor to the barracks to participate in two small battles, after returning to Beijing, he rarely stays at home, most of the time is mixed in the barracks, occasionally go home, I heard that the two beauties did those pickled things in order to frame each other, in a fit of anger sent two beauties he had never touched to the countryside Zhuangzi, It's just that the queen can't sell them because of her face, so she can only send them away from afar.

In short, for Jun Qianyu, a woman means trouble, and it is best not to get involved in it for the rest of her life.

"But the queen mother, this time it won't be so light, I heard that she has been very keen to summon young women from various families into the palace recently, it can't be to choose a concubine for your eldest brother, he has a concubine." Jun Shaofeng said.

Jun Qianyu sighed: "Forget it, she can choose if she likes to choose, anyway, if she marries back, she also throws it in the backyard to live, anyway, I won't stay too long in this capital, after a while, when my father is in a good mood, I always ask him to let me go back to the north." ”

"You were so seriously injured last time that you almost lost your life, even if the emperor agreed, the queen mother is probably not willing to let you go out again!"

"Let's talk about it!" Jun Qianyu obviously didn't want to mention this matter anymore, "Are you hungry, do you want to go out and eat something?" ”

"Okay, where are you going to eat?"

"Sungai House."

"Yes, I haven't seen Ningxi's girl for a few days, and I really miss her a little!"

"I think you're thinking of her cooking!"

"Can't you think about it? I said, aren't you a particularly annoying woman? Why don't you bother Ningxi? ”

Jun Qianyu smiled: "What kind of woman is she, at best, she is just a little girl." ”

When he arrived at Shuangxi Building, he had just sat down, and Jun Shaofeng wanted to ask Ning Xi to hurry up and make a few specialty dishes, but unexpectedly, Xiao Er said: "Today's chef is Chef Rong, and Ning Dong's family doesn't cook these days." ”

"Hey, why is that? Could it be that Miss Ning is sick? Jun Shaofeng said strangely, and glanced at Jun Qianyu, who was also nervous, staring at the little two.

The little second was looked at by the two of them like this, and was a little panicked: "No, no, Ning Dongjia is not sick, it's just that she doesn't have a chef license and can't cook." ”

"Don't have a chef license?" Jun Shaofeng laughed, "This girl is so bold!" ”

Jun Qianyu also smiled: "If you don't have it, it's gone, it's not that you haven't done it before, is it still this time?" ”

Xiao Er was embarrassed: "It's just that something happened a few days ago, and Lord Jingzhao Yin Huang told Ning Dong's family not to cook again in the near future, so as not to cause another incident." ”

Jun Qianyu's face turned cold: "But I haven't come for a few days, what happened?" "He is a person who has been mixed in the barracks, and he is angry, and there is a fierce and vicious aura all over his body, which makes the little two tremble, and he stammers but can't say why.

Jun Shaofeng sighed and waved his hand to let him go down: "It's really a useless thing, go and call that girl surnamed Meng over." ”
