At noon the next day, Mo'er came to Zhu's Mansion on time with a prayer post and crystal. After the guards guarding the door at the door of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion carefully checked Mo'er's prayer post, one of the guards in his early thirties with a sturdy figure said politely to Mo'er: "It turned out to be Fang Gongzi of the Jade Treasure Pavilion. Steward Xia had already instructed Fang Gongzi to come with the little one. As the words fell, the guard bowed down and made an inviting gesture.

Mo'er and Crystal exchanged glances, and followed the guard into the Zhu Mansion through the side door next to the gate.

Zhu Ye's real name is Zhu Youqian, there are Qian, there are Qian, this name is really not called in vain. Along the way, whether it is a pavilion or a rockery stone carving in the house, it is either carved into the appearance of ingots, or carved into the pattern of copper coins, which is full of "money" scenes, which really makes Mo'er and Crystal two breathtaking!

"Brother Guard, why did you take us to the kitchen?" More and more feeling that the route was wrong, the crystal finally couldn't help but ask.

"Girl, this is the way to the cellar." The guard who walked in front and led the way explained, paused and said, "The master and Steward Jiang are in the cellar at this time."

Cellar?

A dark, damp, smelly, and foul place flashed through Crystal's mind, and a terrible thought popped into his mind......

Startled, she glanced at the back of the guard who was walking in front of them to guide them, and a small hand quietly tugged at Mo'er's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Mo'er turned around and asked her.

Crystal glanced at her, glanced at the guard again, and then mustered up the courage to take Mo'er's hand, and wrote a line of words on Mo'er's palm with his fingertips: "Fang Mo, will this guard take us to the cellar to kill people?"

Seeing that her little face was full of fright, Mo'er raised her eyebrows and asked her with her mouth: "What, are you afraid?"

The title of choking little pepper is not for nothing, although Crystal was very scared in her heart, but she was stimulated by Mo'er's words, not only did she pretend to be fearless, "Whoever is afraid, is kind enough to remind you to pay attention." After answering Mo'er with her mouth, she withdrew her hand in a huff.

But Mo'er grabbed it first, and this time, she wrote on the crystal palm with her fingertips: "Don't let go, follow me."

The moist fingertips slashed across the palm of his hand, and an electric current sparkled up, making people numb, and there were two more red clouds on the crystal white face.

At this time, there were many people working in the kitchen, and when they saw the guard leading Mo'er and the others from here, they didn't ask much, but just greeted the guard one after another.

The guards of the Zhu Mansion nodded in response, and then took Mo'er and the crystal from the narrow passage on the side of the kitchen to the back, Mo'er's vision suddenly widened, and a large area of drying appeared in front of her. In addition to the rows of shelves for drying cucumbers, there are also empty jars with large vats in the corners of the drying field. There was a cellar not far from the empty jar, and a staircase extended to the ground, and although the sun was shining at noon, you could still faintly see the light refracting from the ground.

Obviously, the cellar was lit with candles and brightly lit.

Following the guard into the cellar, a sour smell that seemed to be unique to pickled products came to his nose, and in that next second, Mo'er saw Zhu Ye's behemoth body, and Xia Jiang standing beside him.

At this moment, their master and servant looked intently on a dark-skinned man dressed in light gray clothes, who was pickling cucumbers.

Xia Jiang seemed to hear the footsteps, and suddenly turned his head, when he saw that it was Mo'er and the others, he not only nodded as a greeting, but before Mo'er responded, he preemptively made a silent action, signaling Mo'er to wait for a while, and then turned his head to continue to look at the gray-shirted man pickling cucumbers.

Crystal gave Mo'er a look and asked her what was going on?

Because the guard was beside her, Mo'er didn't have the convenience to say more, so she had to hand back a slightly calm look to the crystal. Then he looked at the gray-shirted man, and watched him pickle cucumbers with great interest.

Crystal had always believed that Mo'er's identity was that of a talented chef poached by her grandfather from a large restaurant, so Mo's interest in all things cooking was taken for granted.

I don't know if it's because of the influence of Mo'er, Crystal suddenly felt that the boring process of pickling cucumbers in sauce seemed to be a lot more interesting.

Pickled cucumber is a popular side dish in Daxia, crispy and delicious, easy to eat, so many people in Daxia will have this side dish in their breakfast. And in winter, some people in the north who are freezing in the cold, when they can't go out in heavy snow, take this pickled cucumber and bacon, sausage and other pickled ingredients as winter food.

The process of pickling cucumbers in sauce is not complicated, but it takes some time.

You only need to pick the best cucumbers, clean them and dry them, pour salt and water, put the cucumbers in an empty jar, and marinate them in a pickled soup prepared with soy sauce, sugar, pepper, chili pepper, and salt according to the taste.

It was about half an hour before the gray-shirted man finally stopped all his work.

He didn't care about wiping away the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, but turned around, hugged his fists and said to Zhu Ye: "Zhu Ye, this pickled cucumber has been pickled below, just let it sit until this time tomorrow, and it can be eaten."

"There's Boss Laogu." Zhu Ye thanked him, and said: "Boss Gu must be very tired after a long journey for his mother's affairs, so let Xia Jiang take Boss Gu to Xiyuan to rest and rest."

"Master Zhu is polite." Boss Gu said politely: "I can help Zhu Ye a little, so that the old lady is in a good mood and very happy, this little rush is not tired."

"Boss Gu is really a helpful person, haha!" Zhu Ye laughed, and then turned his head to explain to Xia Jiang, "Boss Gu is a distinguished guest, you have to entertain well." ”

Xia Jiang hurriedly said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, Xia Jiang Province." At the same time as the words fell, he also felt that the time to leave Mo'er and them aside was about the same, so he reminded Zhu Ye that Mo'er and their existence.

It's also strange to say, when Zhu Ye heard that Mo'er and Crystal were from the Jade Treasure Pavilion, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and before Mo'er and them came to say hello, he had already taken a step towards Mo'er and them.

"Haha, Brother Fang, you're finally here!" There was no preparation for Mo'er to say hello in advance, and Zhu Ye had already greeted Mo'er familiarly.

Although she was a little surprised, Mo'er was also very agile and shrewd, and hurriedly introduced herself to Zhu Ye: "Zhu Ye, down is Fang Mo of the Jade Treasure Pavilion."

"I know, I know," Zhu Ye said as if he was very familiar with her, "Miao'er has already told me, saying that you are her own brother."

Fang Miao!

Mo'er suddenly knew in her heart, and she had already guessed that this Zhu Ye was introduced by the female shopkeeper of the Jade Building. (To be continued)
