Chapter 241: Familiar Taste
"Oh?" Can't think of this layer? Yuan Shanjia raised his eyebrows. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It must have been five or six years since then, why didn't you get any news before? Didn't you find out about such a big thing? This is not the economic lifeblood of the Li family, but it is also one of the economic sources. ”
Yuan Shanjia put down the white porcelain cup, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a little unhappy.
Ran Zhu shook his head, "They have always been very careful, for fear that if the imperial court finds out, they will think that the Li family is going to rebel, so the transactions on both sides are covered up by business on the surface." It wasn't until recently that there was an epidemic in the west, and the Ximen family's shop was also affected, and there was less worship for the Li family, which made the Li family have some complaints, so that our people heard it by chance. ”
"I see." Yuan Shanjia nodded clearly, "In that case, we have to help Miss Simon." It's not easy for her to be so pitiful, framed, and disfigured. ”
"Miss can do what she wants." Ran Zhu continued to pick up the medicine pestle, flipped the medicine over, and slowly pounded it again.
Yuan Shanjia came to Ran Zhu, but his enlarged face didn't make Ran Zhu change.
"I need your help." She had a shy face and a smile in her eyes, like a little fox stealing fish, a little cunning.
Ran Zhu didn't stop the work in his hand, and lowered his eyes to pound the medicine seriously, "What I have in my hand is the antidote on her face, and there are still three steps to finish." ”
"Ran Zhu is so good~" Yuan Shanjia hugged Ran Zhu and rubbed it, in a good mood.
Ran Zhu was not affected at all, and the movements of his hands were neither fast nor slow, and they were very regular.
Simanya fled, but was captured less than a mile away. I haven't left the suburbs of Yundu yet.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the Zhuangzi was lit with red lanterns, with yellowish lights dappled in the shadows of the trees.
Because Yuan Shanjia lived on Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi's steward Gou Ji lit the lamp very early. In particular, the road near the courtyard of Wonshanjia is made of good candles and lanterns, which will not be easily extinguished.
That's why the twilight is gradually coming out, and the yard is already full of lights and shadows.
"Good evening, Miss Simon." Yuan Shanjia was having dinner at this time and said hello casually.
The dinner was made by the chef Shi Lihua Shi, and the things used were all chicken, duck and fish produced on Zhuangzi, which was really delicious.
And because Yuan Shanjia saved the people in Zhuangzi, coupled with her status as a distinguished guest, Shi Lihua even showed her skills, and with the support of the steward Gou Ji, she made a large table full of delicacies.
When Ximenya came in, she saw Yuan Shanjia sitting in the position of facing the door, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he drank the pigeon soup with appreciation.
The cook lady Shi and the housekeeper next to him were all nervously holding hands, staring straight at Yuan Shanjia's movements, and the sweat on their foreheads was a little slippery.
Yuan Shanjia said approvingly: "Well, Chef Shi's cooking skills are very good, and the taste is good, I haven't eaten this taste for a long time." ”
It's not that Yuan Shanjia hasn't eaten anything better. But such a home-cooked taste is really rare to eat.
Only the food cooked for her by Yun Niang has this taste, which makes her feel very comfortable, just like ordinary people's.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shanjia missed Yun Niang even more.
She said in her heart: Am I waiting for Yun Niang to come over? Or go over to find Yun Niang, and by the way, see how the epidemic situation is in the west. You can also check out Daddy.
She thought as she drank the pigeon soup, and it didn't take long for the pigeon soup to finish.
When the cook Shi Shi saw it, it was called an excitement.
The life-saving benefactor thinks that the food she makes is delicious, which is the greatest praise for her.
She couldn't help but shake her hand, holding it tightly, suppressing the tension and excitement in her heart.
The steward Gou Ji wiped his sweat, and it was good to be satisfied, and it was good to be satisfied.
He received a hint from Mama Hou at noon that he should serve the distinguished guests well, and the benefits are indispensable. Otherwise......
If he can't satisfy his guests, he estimates that he has done it as a steward.
You know, he's in charge here.
There are only those days of the year when you have to serve people. The rest of the time, he was like the emperor of the soil, his wife and daughter wore gold and silver, and his son also went to school in the best school.
If he loses this errand, the rest of his life will be basically over.
The steward Gou Ji wiped his sweat again, "Guests can try other dishes." There are still a few of Shi's specialty dishes. For example, this cold cucumber, although ordinary, is also praised by the guests who came. There is also a house full of gold and jade corn chips, which many girls in the Red Chamber like. ”
Yuan Shanjia glanced at the table, and near her left hand side was a cold dish, which was cold cucumber.
The cucumbers were simply patted, cut into strips, the heads and tails were removed, and they looked neatly arranged on the plate.
The cucumber is drizzled with a thin layer of red oil, and it looks like there should be some vinegar on it. Some chopped garlic is haphazardly sandwiched between cucumber strips, which is very appetizing to watch.
The most special thing about her is that there are some white and black dots on it, and if you look closely, you will find that they are white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds.
Yuan Shanjia took a cucumber strip and took a bite gently, the juice in the cucumber overflowed, some salty, a little sweet, and at the same time with a little sourness, very refreshing.
Her eyes lit up, this dish was quite appetizing, and the master should like it. I don't know if the master has lived here?
In a blink of an eye, she decided to let Ran Zhu go back and cook it for the master after she learned it. After all, the master is pregnant, and it is such a hot day, so he must be very picky about eating.
"It's delicious." Yuan Shanjia praised, "Ran Zhu reward! ”
"Thank you for the reward." Shi was very excited in his heart, and hurriedly took the silver handed over by Ran Zhu, although it was only two silver horns, but it was also worth two months' monthly money for their family.
Gou Ji didn't care about this little money, but he was very happy to be recognized by the distinguished guests, and thanked him again and again.
Shi's name for Yuan Shanjia was nondescript, which made Yuan Shanjia laugh dumbly.
She put down her chopsticks and gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "You guys go down first." ”
Gou Ji and Shi hurriedly retired.
They also saw the ugly man who had just come in and was being pressed, and it seemed that the distinguished guest was going to punish the thief.
Although they all wanted to see this thief punished, they also knew the identity of the others.
Yuan Shanjia smiled, picked up the chopsticks again, and ordered the food on the table. "Miss Simon, would you like to eat something?"
Simanya lowered her head, her hair falling loosely on her face, and said hatefully, "No! ”
At the same time, there was a gurgling sound in her stomach, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Thinking about her eldest lady of the Ximen family, how could she have been so miserable, she couldn't even eat enough, and she was caught and imprisoned.
Yuan Shanjia chuckled, the corners of his eyes showed a hint of flattery, and his eyes were even more sparkling, "If Miss Simon doesn't mind, let's eat some together?" ”
Simanya's body stiffened, gritted her teeth, and some of the broken jars were broken.
It's like this anyway, can it be worse? If you want to die, be a full ghost!
She sat down hatefully, and took it and began to sweep quickly, leaving people stunned. It should be said that the main thing is that Hongqiu was dumbfounded.
Ximenya's eating is actually not ugly, even if she looks so ugly, the etiquette posture of the meal is very good. But that speed is not flattering.
It was as if she had been hungry for several lifetimes, but in the blink of an eye, the dishes in front of her were empty.
