Because Su was pregnant, King Yong'an slowed down his journey, and when he arrived at Shanyin City, he had already entered the wax month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it was the coldest time in Shanyin City, and everyone was tightly wrapped in heavy mink fur.

King Yong'an picked out some of the best furs in his inventory and made several thick pieces of thick fur for Su Shi, Chu Yuning, An Ge'er, etc.

Chu Yuning saw and experienced the cold of the northern land for the first time, as if everything she said could quickly freeze into ice.

Because it had been snowing for several days, the ground was slippery and difficult to walk, and the Su family was carried out of the carriage by King Yong'an and went directly into the general's mansion in Shanyin City.

After entering the inner room, a hot air came from the surface, almost making everyone breathless.

But I was finally able to take off my heavy clothes.

Because of Su's pregnancy, King Yong'an directly handed over the stewardship of the General's Mansion to Chu Yuning.

Su was originally unwilling, but because of her age, Mama Liu did not follow Su and others to northern Xinjiang this time, and it was not until the spring of next year when the weather gradually warmed up that she would follow the merchant convoy to Shanyin City.

The other people who accompanied him, Su only brought Tian's mother, Bai Lan, Dangui, and Chu Yuning brought Bai Lu, Qinghe, Zhu Cao, and Zidai, and An Ge'er was temporarily taken care of by Tian's mother, as well as two big girls, Baishuang and Qingzhu.

Because Uncle He wanted to return to the north with King Yong'an, the chief steward Wang and Mrs. Yan took over the affairs of the Yong'an palace in Beijing, and Steward Liu and Mrs. Qi were in charge of the shop under the name of the Su family.

Originally, those people in the Su Mansion's kitchen, their parents and relatives were in Beijing, and they were not very willing to leave their hometowns, and the Su family was soft-hearted.

After signaling everyone to arrive at the General's Mansion in Shanyin City, the first thing they faced was the problem of lack of manpower.

The General's Mansion in Shanyin City is simpler to purchase than the Su Mansion, with only one Uncle Wu who guards the door, the fat uncle who cooks the food, and the two teams of secret guards who take turns on duty.

Uncle Wu and Uncle Fat are both veterans and remnants who retired from the battlefield, because they were homeless and had never married a wife, they were placed in the palace by King Yong'an. Of course, there are many more disabled soldiers, who have been placed elsewhere by the son of the king of Yong'an to find a way out for them.

Uncle Wu and Uncle Fat were reluctant to leave King Yong'an because they had the deepest feelings for King Yong'an, so they were placed in the mansion by King Yong'an.

Uncle Fat was originally a member of the forward team, in the decades of military career, broke an arm and lame a leg, and later worked as a firehead soldier in the room for a few years, until he really couldn't lift the big shovel in the room to fry vegetables, and he didn't want to return to his hometown alone, and was pitied by his family, King Yong'an placed him in the kitchen of the General's Mansion, King Yong'an would always go back so many times a year, and Uncle Fat could also play his role and cook for King Yong'an.

On weekdays, Wu Bo and the two teams of secret guards also need to fill in their stomachs.

Uncle Wu's experience is not much different from that of Uncle Fat, and King Yong'an feels that his aspect is more intimidating than Uncle Fat, so he placed him in the gatehouse.

As a porter, Uncle Wu has a characteristic that ordinary people can't reach, that is, he can't forget his eyes and his face is expressionless, that is, if he recognizes someone at a glance, but that person is not welcome in the general's mansion, even if that person says that he is in heaven, he can pretend to be the first time to meet this person.

Because of this skill, in the past five years, the eldest princess of Changning followed King Yong'an to Shanyin City, and blocked King Yong'an outside the General's Mansion several times, but without exception, she was deflated in front of Uncle Wu.

Every time Uncle Wu took the black cloth with a round hole to face the eldest princess of Changning, asked her what she was doing, and when she explained her intentions, Uncle Wu only said in a hard way, "The prince is not here, please go back." "Princess Changning is gone.

After there were more Su and others in the general's mansion, Uncle Wu guarded the gatehouse, which was naturally very proper, and the fat uncle was in charge of the kitchen alone, which seemed to be a little hanging.

Because first of all, King Yong'an had to strengthen the guards in the palace, increasing from two teams of secret guards to ten teams, and the food of these people needed to be solved in the palace.

In addition, there are dozens of servants brought by the Su family, and Xue Yongyi and Zi'er are there, Tian's mother takes care of the Su family's food at most, and has no time to take care of the rest, so the top priority in the house is to find a few reliable cooks for the house.

King Yong'an instructed Lan Zhou to find a few people first, but in the end, whether it is suitable or not depends on the meaning of Chu Yuning and Tian's mother, and King Yong'an will not trouble the Su family with such a trivial matter.

Therefore, the first thing Chu Yuning and the others did when they arrived at the General's Mansion was to see a few cooks who Lan Zhou had found.

Seeing this, she was suddenly greatly touched in her heart.

Among the cooks Lan Zhou brought back, three of them were known to her.

One is the hard-working widow who was taken in by Lan Zhou when he lived in the Su Mansion in his previous life, and made delicious Yangzhou dishes, known as Zhou Niangzi.

The other two were when she was pregnant after marriage, and the taste became peculiar, and Lan Zhou didn't know where to find them.

One is good at making soups, and the other is good at barbecuing and cooking all kinds of meat.

The cook who is good at making soup is thin and small, and she speaks a mouthful of words that Chu Yuning can't understand, she is a Southern Barbarian, and Lan Zhou calls her Liu Niangzi.

The one who is good at barbecue and meat has a black and red complexion, a high nose bridge, and seems to have foreign blood, Lan Zhou calls her Ada.

When these two appeared in front of Chu Yuning, she was really startled, and she was also hesitant about the food they made.

Lan Zhou sat down at the dining table and ate what the two had made into his stomach with relish.

He ate so deliciously, he was engrossed and meticulous, Chu Yuning was aroused, and he couldn't resist the temptation, so he also sat down at the table, and motioned for Bai Lu to put some of everything into the bowl in front of her.

Almost as soon as he ate the first piece of barbecue, Chu Yuning narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

For the first time, she almost bit off the tip of her tongue when she experienced what it was delicious!

For the next meal, she didn't stop her head, and before she could finish eating, the bowl was empty.

Chu Yuning raised her head and looked at Bai Lu dissatisfiedly, but bumped into Lan Zhou's eyes full of smiles, and looked at her with tenderness and doting, "Eat again, you will have to shout later." ”

Chu Yuning glanced at the table, the soup bowl was at the bottom, and only bits and pieces of bones were left on the plate.

She immediately pouted, "You've eaten them all!" ”

Lan Zhou looked at her and laughed, leaving the two cooks like this.

How sweet those honey-like days were, and how bitter my heart felt when I think about it now.

Chu Yuning bit the tip of her tongue lightly, forcing herself to come back to her senses, and then listened to Tian's mother gasp, looked at Ada with a black and red face, and whispered in Chu Yuning's ear: "Girl, this cook looks so strange. (To be continued.) )
