Chapter 81 A little thoughtful

Wei Ru personally cooked a table of meals, four people ate, six dishes and one soup, two staple foods, rice and sugar cakes, no matter how you eat, you can't finish it.

"My sister did it all alone?" Youyi knew she could cook, but she didn't know she was so quick. In less than half an hour, a table full of food was conjured, and it was full of color, aroma, and fragrance all over the room, so that people were hungry and wanted to run out.

The old lady was even more full of praise when she saw it, "I didn't expect Wei Ru to have this skill, look at this table of dishes, the chef is no better than this." Fortunately, she didn't say anything like a good wife, a room, an IKEA, or anything like that, otherwise Youyi would have thought it was too explicit.

The four of them sat down, and Wei Ru said with a smile: "It looks like there is some pomp, but the taste may not be to your appetite." The kitchen here often cooks casual meals for the guys, and many things are not fully prepared, and it is too late to buy them temporarily. ”

The old lady had already eaten a bite of fish-flavored eggplant and praised: "The saltiness of this dish is the key, and the oil requirements are also high." If it's too salty and greasy, it won't be greasy after two bites; But if it's too light, it will be tasteless. The saltiness of this plate in front of me is just right, fragrant but not greasy, and there is a special taste in it, which is nothing. ”

"The old lady has a keen sense of smell, and there is my exclusive secret recipe here." Wei Ru said mysteriously, "Generally, shrimp is put in fish-flavored eggplant, which is more fragrant, but the disadvantage is that it is too greasy and crooked." But this eggplant likes to be stained with some fishy smell to become fresh, so it can't be removed. I thought and thought, tried to put different condiments a few times, and finally chose this one. It has a special flavor and reacts wonderfully when it meets eggplant and shrimp. The strange smell itself is completely gone, and it is completely integrated into the dish, and it also relieves the oiliness in the dish. ”

"What's so magical?" The old lady looked carefully, and fiddled a little in the small plate in front of her, but did not find any special materials.

Seeing this, Wei Ru smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary fennel root." I boil water with a little fennel root and add a little more when cooking. ”

"It turned out to be boiling water, no wonder you couldn't find anything. What a coincidence. The old lady took another bite. She rarely eats eggplants on weekdays, but now it's smooth.

Chang Cun is a person who practices martial arts and likes to eat meat. Wei Ru made braised pork and steamed pork ribs very intimately, the south side has a slightly heavier taste, likes spicy, and there is also a boiled fish. She also took into account that the old lady and Youyi liked light, and made vegetarian stir-fried three shreds and cold cabbage sum. In the center is a steaming winter melon soup, with small meatballs made with fine meat in it, and a thin white broth sprinkled with chopped coriander, exuding a faint fragrance.

"This braised pork is different from the usual taste, is it the way of the capital?" Chang Cun ate a big bowl of rice and made people add another bowl. The soup and rice in the braised pork are even more fragrant than eating meat.

"This is not the taste of the capital, it is the originality of Sister Wei Ru." Youyi laughed when she heard it, "It's also the first time I've eaten such braised pork, it's not a melt-in-your-mouth texture, the meat is just right, and it tastes delicious with a little chewiness." And in addition to the meat flavor in it, there is also a special taste, which should be tofu milk. ”

Youyi found that Wei Ru likes to put a variety of different condiments when cooking, and uses matching methods to bring out unusual flavors.

Wei Ru replied with a smile: "You are a natural foodie, as long as you smell and taste, you can know what ingredients are in it." I just put a little bit of crushed secret tofu in it, and you're ready to eat. ”

"There are too many secret things made by my sister, all of which can't be eaten outside. After eating like this for a long time, my mouth is raised. Youyi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wei Ru smiled and said nothing, she was very uncomfortable with the taste of the food here when she first arrived here. Fortunately, she is good at cooking, the condiments here are quite complete, and she is good at making new old dishes, and she has become an expert in two years.

Chang Cun only knows that it is delicious, but he can't say anything. After eating enough, several people went back to rest separately, preparing to leave early tomorrow morning.

The old lady felt that she had eaten too much, so she slowly walked around the house, and the young lady was sleepy and rested on the couch outside. Mama Lu supported the old lady and spoke softly.

"Brother Cun is a sincere person, although he is careless, he is a generous person. In particular, he has a pure temperament, is the most filial to his elders, kind to his peers, and kind to his juniors. It's just that there is a fly in the ointment in this world, and it is unsatisfactory to give birth to this child. Now that he is in his twenties, how can he start a business wholeheartedly without a successful family? I looked at Wei Ru coldly, I don't know if they have this fate. "The old lady is used to talking to Mama Lu about something, but she doesn't expect her to have any good ideas, she just wants to talk about it. Especially when people are old, they like to chatter. Besides, there is only Mama Lu by the old lady's side, and there is little to worry about.

Youyi was lying on the couch in a daze, and suddenly woke up when she heard this. She didn't move, pretending to listen to their conversation.

Mama Lu has always been used to saying good things according to the old lady's wishes, "Miss Wei Ru is not young, even in a big place like the capital, it is not easy to find her in-laws. Besides, she doesn't have parents, so some people will be taboo. Although the eldest lord is now at home, he is also the leader of the fourth grade. Brother Cun is from Wuju and is currently seeking a position, and he is also a six-rank Lan Ling guard. To tell the truth, if it weren't for Brother Cun'er's many disasters in marriage, I am afraid it would not be her turn to be a small businessman to enter Yu's house to be a grandmother. ”

This is true, the ancestor of the Yu family is an official, and there are two major shares in the old lady's generation, the eldest master has become the leader of the fourth grade from the martial arts, and the second master is the political envoy of the fourth grade from the text. There are a total of four nephews below, except for the youngest Yu Changqing, who is still studying, and the other three are all eating imperial food. The perennial thing is that * does not leave ten, although it has not yet officially taken office, but it has not run away.

There are four aunts and grandmothers in the family, including the old lady, only the old lady married a little worse, and her husband died early, and life was more difficult. Now they are going to visit Aunt Yu's grandmother in Huizhou, whose husband's surname is He, is a well-known local family. The ancestors had been officials and worshiped the senior doctors of the second grade, and their descendants were dense and had many achievements, and they were quite influential in the northwest region. But whenever a state official takes office, he has to visit the He family, and with the support of the He family, this official can be comfortable. The other two aunts and grandmothers are also married to large families with deep roots, which are intertwined and affect the whole body.

"I just value her being alone." The old lady's words made Youyi's heart move and think about the bad place. Wei Ru is alone, but his family has a lot of money. If you really want to become the daughter-in-law of the Yu family, won't you move all the gold and silver mountains over? Could it be that the old lady is greedy for Wei Ru's silver and wants to use this to help her brother? In Youyi's opinion, the old lady is not so snobbish.

"Brother Cun'er is too hard, and Wei Ru, this kid is also hard. In addition, she has the courage to go south and north, and she has the courage to do such a big deal, and I think she is a clever person who can talk this time. You are very clear about the affairs of your brother's family, in the early years, my brother believed in Buddhism and ignored family affairs, and my sister-in-law was in charge of the family when she went early. The partial nephew and daughter-in-law are unclear masters, blindly afraid of their husbands, and put on a shelf in front of their daughter-in-law.

Brother Cun's daughter-in-law is a very quiet and honest girl, and she went to the house less than three years ago. When I left, I was already pregnant in my belly, what a sin! If the child had been born, he would have run away by now. Find a powerful and rich girl, suppress her to death, and save her from being a demon all day long! Speaking of which, the old lady looked a little hateful.

Youyi naturally didn't know about these things, listening to the meaning of the old lady's words, the death of Brother Cun's daughter-in-law had something to do with her mother-in-law. With such a chicken-flying and dog-jumping home, Wei Ru is even more unlikely to like it.

"Did you look at the two of them?" After just eating a meal, the old lady has been secretly observing her words.

Mama Lu hesitated when she heard this, and replied with a smile: "Brother Cun is a person who practices martial arts, and he has always been used to being rough, and he will not pity the fragrance and cherish the jade before the moon." Besides, the Yu family has a very strict family education, how can he be embarrassed to stare at other girls? The old slave saw that he had eaten a lot, but he didn't say much, and his eyes only looked at the rice bowl and plate. Miss Wei Ru acted generously and uprightly, and she didn't hesitate to eat at a table for the first time. She also smiled and asked Brother Cun to eat more if she liked it, but she was just doing her landlord's duty. The old slave felt that even if he didn't match it now, he couldn't keep it all the way. After all, it takes half a month to travel from here to Huizhou, and the relative time of day and night is there, and the rest depends on fate. Brother Cun has a manly taste and a good personality, and whoever gets along with him will like him. ”

"You're right and you're not right." The old lady shook her head and nodded, "Brother Cun is a person who doesn't like women, but he is not a lump of dead wood. When he sees the woman he likes, he will also have a watch, but it is not obvious. I can see it clearly from the side, as long as Wei Run's girl speaks, he will bow his head and eat desperately. This kid has this problem since he was a child, and when he is nervous and excited, he uses food to relieve it. The more he eats, the more wrong he is! ”

The old lady watched Brother Cun'er grow up, and knew him better than her grandson.

Hearing this, Mama Lu's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "So you have a little bit of eight words?" ”

The old lady smiled and nodded, "Brother Cun has this meaning in his heart, it's up to Wei Ru." If she also has a heart, I will push the boat with adult beauty; If I don't want to, I can only regret it. ”

Youyi lay on the couch and listened clearly, and her hanging heart was put down. Listening to the old lady's meaning, she would not force the two of them together if she couldn't figure out the situation. Since that's the case, she pretends not to know.

Early the next morning, the old lady and others set off from Jixian County and headed west. Along the way, Brother Cun explored the road in front, and had to go back and forth every day, arrange the inn in advance, and then come back to pick up the old lady and others. In the end, he was born in martial arts training since he was a child, and he is not tired of running around like this, and he is full of energy every day.

Wei Ru walks outside all the year round, and his temperament is free and easy, and he can't see those sour scholars who can't lift their shoulders or hold them, and they have no power to restrain chickens. She doesn't dislike Brother Cun, she just thinks Brother Cun is very interesting. Obviously, Kong is powerful and a standard man, but as soon as he talks to him, he is a little shy.

Thinking that the old lady's injuries were just right, they couldn't sit for a long time and be bumpy, so they stopped and stopped. Every day is a midday break, and as soon as the sun turns west, I stay at the hotel. Catching up with the branch of Jinxiufang, Wei Ru had to stay for one more day, Youyi was strolling, and the old lady simply rested for a whole day. Although the carriage could lie down, it was not as comfortable as the bed, and the people who were shaking were dizzy.

After walking like this for seven or eight days, they arrived at the largest canal in Dayu. There is the largest port in Dayu, docked with many ships, and the boats on the river are shuttling and busy. The small county town on the shore is even more prosperous and lively, not much worse than the capital. There are also many novelties that are not available in the capital, which is dazzling.

Chang Cun went to hire a boat to negotiate the price, and the old lady and the others walked around the county. It is worthy of a port, and goods from the east, west, north and south can be found here. There are also some small bits and pieces of exotic customs, which make Youyi love it.

On the street, you can often see people of different styles of clothing, and occasionally you can see people with high noses and deep-set eyes. Listening to them greet each other in their hometown dialect, Youyi found it particularly interesting.

"What a strange pronunciation." Youyi heard them bargaining for things, and couldn't help but smile and say.

Seeing this, Wei Ru replied: "Maybe they think the same way when they listen to us." However, their ability to bargain is really high, and they coaxed the boss to sell at a low price in just a few words. ”

"Can my sister understand them?" Youyi was surprised.

Wei Ru smiled when he heard this, "I can only understand some common words." Because I had occasional contact with them in business, I deliberately studied for a while. ”

Youyi was amazed when she heard this, "They talk like their tongues are burning with a burning stick, and they feel tired and panicked when they listen to it, let alone study." It's really not easy for my sister to do business, and she has to suffer any crime. ”

Wei Ru couldn't help but giggle, and said that Youyi had a clever mouth, and she didn't use dirty words to hurt people.

The few foreigners who were shopping next to them saw Youyi and a few people criticizing them, although they didn't understand very well, they felt that Baozhun had no good words. Seeing Youyi and the others smiling happily, they actually came over with their eyes standing and chattered, but they couldn't understand the expression and gesture of being very angry.

Not yet

Youyi and the others replied, and saw Chang Cun riding over. When he saw the posture in front of him, he jumped off his horse with a bang, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and looked like he was about to make a move. Wei Ru hurriedly stopped, and the aliens were not afraid at all when they saw this, and a short man with a cat's waist pulled out a dagger from his boots. The dagger was very sharp, shining in the sunlight, shining blindly.
