"When will you go to the Gu family to be hired?" Xiao Jiangbei asked straight to the point, thought about it and added: "It's already a year old." ”

"Hey!" Aunt Xiang couldn't help laughing: "What should I do, it turned out to be for this." Second master rest assured, now that the Lantern Festival has not passed, the day of the next hire, how to get out of the first month, I have already arranged everything, there are still a few things to complete, and I will send the list to you in two days to see if you have anything to add or subtract. In fact, this family affair is already considered compact, and Mrs. Gu also told me that the eldest girl came to the capital for two days, and the father and daughter got together for a short time, and according to her thoughts, they would get married in a year. ”

"Nope." Xiao Jiangbei said categorically, his tone could not be refused. I only heard that a few aunts and girls were a little funny, so Aunt Xiang shook her head and said: "Okay, okay, I know, the master has already agreed with Master Gu, it will not be more than the end of spring at the latest, and I am allowed to hold this marriage for you and the eldest girl, this is finally done, right?" ”

"Okay."

According to Xiao Jiangbei's thoughts, he hated to get married now, but he also knew that it was impossible, so he had to agree. Just as he was about to turn around and go out, he suddenly remembered something again, so he turned around and said, "Mama Yue is old, so I don't need her to serve in my room in the future." ”

Aunt Xiang hurriedly said: "How can this be done?" There is no old man in your room, just that one, and it's not someone else, it's your nursing mother, the second master can't even tolerate her, what do people say when they pass it out? ”

"It's because she's old that I let her go back and enjoy the blessings." Xiao Jiangbei refused to give in, but listened to Aunt Xiang sigh and said, "I know, she must have said something you don't like to hear." It's just the second master, you also think about it, you grew up with her milk since you were a child. She also had a son at that time, and her own son drank goat's milk, but he couldn't drink a mouthful of his mother's milk, and fed it all to you. How dare she order you to fail? If you kick her out now, what face will she have to look up in front of people? The master knows, and he will definitely not follow. ”

Xiao Jiangbei frowned. I don't know which of Aunt Xiang's words touched him, he finally didn't insist anymore and turned to leave.

*********************

"The girl didn't even go out to see the Lantern Festival lanterns, just to get these. Now it's so easy. Sister Xinghua. You must show all your skills, our girl will make a fortune on you. ”

On the way to the kitchen, Chunyu was holding a food plate with some ingredients and seasoning bottles on it, while joking about apricot blossoms, but she laughed and scolded: "Little bad hooves, I'm nervous enough, you still say such things." But I'm afraid that I won't make a mistake? ”

"What is there to be nervous about?" Chunyu pouted: "Isn't it just to make two dishes?" ”

"You said light, have you ever eaten such a dish? Besides, you just said that. The girl is counting on this fortune, if I do it, won't I overturn the girl's whole plan? ”

While talking, they came to the kitchen, and the two mothers-in-law in charge of the kitchen stood up without smiling when they saw them coming, and one of them said in a strange way: "Yo, what kind of wind blew the two girls over?" The eldest girl is now learning housekeeping with her wife, I heard that the former child just checked the warehouse, this New Year's month, is it going to toss the kitchen again? ”

When Xinghua heard this, she accepted her plan to be kind to them, and sneered: "I came today to make two fresh dishes according to the girl's instructions to honor the old lady." You don't have to take it big in front of me, there are naturally days to check the kitchen, but it also depends on the mood of our girls. The accounts on the treasury side are easy to do, if you can also make the accounts as tightly as the treasury side, and then say this yin and yang weird words in front of me. ”

The two mothers-in-law stiffened, so the other hurriedly touched the one who spoke before, and said with a smile: "She has eaten too much wine, and she is still drunk at this time, the two girls must not be like her." Since the eldest girl asked the girls to come and cook the dishes herself, and to honor the old lady, and come with me, I will make a pot stove for the girls. After speaking, he bowed down and led Xinghua and Chunyu to the pot stove by the window, and shouted: "Feng Chun's family, when you see the girls coming, why don't you hurry over and help you start?" ”

The other two daughters-in-law in the kitchen glanced at each other, and their hearts were full of praise. These two stewards rely on Su Ri to be Mrs. Lu's confidant, and I don't know how much they have done to deduct corruption, and now the eldest girl is also following the housekeeper, and finally the wife in this house is no longer covering the sky with one hand, look, even the two girls are so tough, they really deserve to be the people who are adjusted by the eldest girl, is it not the excitement that I didn't see before, but now I can finally see it?

Xinghua and Chunyu also ignored the different minds of these people, and put the bottles of ingredients and seasonings they brought on the pot table, Xinghua silently thought about the recipes that Gu Qiluo taught her, and then her face was solemn, and she saw that Feng Chun's family had already handed over the board and kitchen knife, so she pulled up a green onion and began to shredd.

******************

"Today, I invite the old lady and my sisters to come to my grandmother's place for dinner, first, while the first month has not passed, everyone will get together and have fun; Second, Xinghua suddenly got up with the idea of showing off her skills and made two fresh dishes, and I want everyone to try them. ”

In Mrs. Zhou's house, Gu Qiluo handed out chopsticks while explaining to Master Gu, seeing the girls put the meals on the table, and finally Xinghua and Chunyu carried a three-layer big food box, and after opening it layer by layer, they brought out two large plates of steaming dishes, and a large plate, half of which contained three stacks of boxy tofu skin, and the other half was slender shredded green onions.

"Huh? Sure enough, I've never seen such a dish, what are the names? ”

Master Gu looked at those two dishes curiously, not only him, but even Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Lu were also well-informed, and they were also very curious when they saw these two dishes, not to mention the other girls, hearing their father ask like this, they turned their eyes to Gu Qiluo together.

"One is called shredded pork in Beijing sauce, and the other is called fish-flavored shredded pork because it tastes like fish." Gu Qiluo replied with a smile: Although these two dishes are just ordinary and simple home-cooked dishes in modern times, the fish-flavored shredded pork is a Sichuan dish, and Shudi is too far away from the capital, I don't know if there are few contacts, or even there is no fish-flavored shredded meat, in short, Gu Qiluo has never seen this dish in the capital; Another dish of shredded pork in Kyoto sauce was originally made by accident in modern times, and there is no one here. And these two dishes have a rich and fragrant taste, and they are unique, so the dishes that Gu Qiluo first taught Xinghua are these two dishes.

Don't look simple, it's also a lot of effort, let's just say that in modern every household has cooking wine, there is no in this era, fortunately, there is soy sauce, Gu Qiluo likes to read recipes in modern times, but he always knows how to make seasonings in the prophet, no way, so I have to follow the vague impression in my mind, and use Sichuan pepper and cinnamon to concoct this cooking wine, in fact, it lacks materials, and it is not authentic, but in this era, it is still rare. At least the two girls were shocked by her "strange dreams".

This is the first time Xinghua has made a novel dish taught by the girl, although when she tried it in the kitchen, she and Chunyu both thought that these two dishes were very delicious, but in the face of the test of the masters, they still felt a little nervous. Fortunately, after Aunt Han and Aunt Zhuang arranged the vegetables for everyone, everyone tasted it and applauded in unison, and the two girls breathed a sigh of relief.

So Master Gu was overjoyed, and asked about the recipe of these two dishes, and Gu Qiluo said it simply, Master Gu is just a whim, how can he have the heart to remember? Nodding and praising a few words, he said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, eat more, my son thinks these two dishes are very appetizing." ”

Mrs. Zhou nodded with a smile, and Gu Jinxiu looked at Gu Qiluo's eyes with a hint of jealousy, wanting to say that it was just two dishes, and remembering her mother's words, she had to hold back her temper and praise a few words.

In the end, there was not a drop of the two dishes left, everyone finished eating, Gu Mingyang and Mrs. Lu and others retired and left, Gu Qiluo sent them to the door on behalf of Mrs. Zhou, and saw that everyone turned back after leaving the courtyard door, but saw Mrs. Zhou branch the two girls out, beckoned to her and called her over, she walked to the old lady and sat down according to her words, only to hear Mrs. Zhou smile and say: "Say, what idea did you come up with?" I have lived together in the countryside for more than ten years, how did I not know that you are so filial to cooking? ”

"According to what my grandmother said, didn't my granddaughter often make snacks for you in the past? Now Xinghua is the best at cooking, her granddaughter is with her, often some whims, just the house has conditions, so let her try it, and then I heard her say that these two dishes taste good, so it is used to honor grandmother and old lady, why grandmother now says that people have no filial piety? ”

"I just said that you didn't pay attention to cooking before, how could you ever say that you didn't have filial piety?" Mrs. Zhou smiled and said to Gu Qiluo: "You, grandmother doesn't know you yet?" A few days ago, you said that you wanted to learn housekeeping from your wife, and I heard that it gave her a headache for a while, and now she suddenly made such a novelty, what is the reason? ”

Gu Qiluo didn't plan to hide it from Mrs. Zhou, so she smiled and said, "Grandmother thinks this dish is delicious?" My granddaughter intends to make a few more of these novel dishes, and then open a private restaurant, do you always think there is a future? ”

"You...... Do you want to do business? Mrs. Zhou was from the bottom of the people, and she was not furious when she heard this, but she was very surprised, but before Gu Qiluo answered, she seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice: "But what is the behavior of your wife?" ”

Gu Qiluo knew that her grandmother was shrewd, and if she didn't say some things, she would definitely not be able to hide them, so she was silent for a while and then said softly: "I don't know the specific granddaughter, but my wife probably thinks that her granddaughter is really not worthy of the Xiao family, so now it doesn't seem like she wants to get married as soon as possible for her granddaughter." ”

"Humph! I can't help her, I have already told your father that the Xiao family will be hired in the first month, and at the latest in late spring, I will marry you. I know that the Xiao family is different from the past, everyone in the capital who has a daughter is staring, but after all, we are the main ones who are married to his family, not to mention that you say that he is very good to you, even so, grandmother has fought for this old life, and it will not let people spoil this family business.
