Chen Qiuniang knew that Chen Wen was testing her. And the letter sent by Zhu Wenkang was obviously more than one page, because she saw that the letter paper was also stained with ink on other pages, which should have been folded together with the page in front of her.

"The jade ring of the head of the Zhu family used to be a token of Zhu Wenkang's engagement to me, and I took it back when I got out of marriage." Chen Qiuniang said calmly.

"This ——, then this jade ring is specially for you?" Chen Wenzheng's face was very surprised.

Chen Qiuniang pulled out a smile and said, "Why should the eldest brother be like this." Zhu Wenkang sent these and named them to you, he must have told you that this jade ring was shown to me, saying that I would understand when I read it, right? ”

"Me." Chen Wenzheng was seen through, and there was a burst of embarrassment on his face, and he didn't even know where to put his eyes.

Chen Qiuniang still said in a light tone, "Actually, there is still a page of letterhead." ”

"Well, here." Chen Wenzheng replied as he quickly took it out of his sleeve, as if the letter paper would be hot.

Chen Qiuniang waved her hand and said, "Don't look at it, now that you are the head of this hotel, you can look at it." ”

"Danfeng, it's the eldest brother who is not good, he shouldn't do this kind of small-bellied chicken intestines. Don't do that, okay? Chen Wenzheng's tone softened.

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes and said: "Big brother, it's not that I don't care, it's that now we have no backing in the Ming Dynasty, they must have found out that Jiang Hang is just Jiang Hang's personal behavior, and there is no intervention from the Zhang family, so how can such a cornucopia be let go with the style of the Zhu family?" What's more, they have only appeared for so long, because they have made complete preparations, and the purpose is not to become our collaborators, but to control us and eventually annex us. ”

"Ugh." Chen Wenzheng sighed and said to himself, "Is there no other way?" ”

"Don't think about it yet, you can make an appointment with them according to the regulations and listen to their conditions." Chen Qiuniang stood up and straightened her clothes.

"They named you and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will come to visit you and me." Do you ——, need to avoid it? Chen Wenzheng hurriedly asked.

"People's rings have been delivered to the door, do I have a choice?" Chen Qiuniang laughed at herself, then opened the fan and said, "I'm tired, let's go to sleep." Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's day. ”

Chen Wenzheng wanted to say something, but Chen Qiuniang didn't care anymore, she just wanted to lie down in bed and sleep immediately, and then tomorrow would be a new day, and she would replan her life.

She hurried back to the house, soaked her feet in hot water, washed up, and lay down on the bed like a dead dog, motionless.

She's really tired today. Not only because she was tired from rushing back to Liucun and then coming back to work at a wealthy feast, but more importantly, she learned about her complicated life experience.

Lady Blossom's daughter! When I talked to Dai Yuanqing about Mrs. Hua Rui before, Dai Yuanqing said that the woman was so beautiful. Now, she has become the daughter of this woman, and she is also boundlessly beautiful, only nine years old, this coarse cloth shirt, yellow face and thin muscles have already seen the signs of beauty, and as soon as the men's clothes are worn, they are the noble sons that women are vying to see.

But this identity is very tricky. Hou Shu has been destroyed, and Madame Hua Rui has been brought to Bianjing by the Song army, according to history, she is trying to survive in the cracks of Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, and it seems that she will not be able to jump for long. History says that she was deeply loved by Zhao Kuangyin, but because she was involved in the selection of the crown prince, she violated Zhao Guangyi's interests and was shot by Zhao Guangyi.

This is a peerless beauty, a former concubine, the favorite concubine of the current emperor. Because she is so beautiful, there are too many people who remember her face, and Chen Qiuniang must be very similar to her as her daughter, otherwise Luo Hao would be surprised if she didn't see her. There is also the lady Wang and the black-clothed man who chased and killed Zhang Ci, who seemed to be a little abnormal the moment they saw her.

At first, she didn't understand, but now, knowing her background, she knew that those people must have suspected her of having something to do with Madame Blossom. It's just that those people aren't 100% sure yet.

However, with Chen Quanzhong here, if those people want to be sure, it is a matter of lifting their legs.

After the fall of Hou Shu, Zhao Kuangyin ordered that the Hou Shu royal family must move to Bianjing, and the violator was to resist the decree and be decided. Chen Qiuniang remembers that there is this article in history. Now, she is the daughter of Madame Hua Rui, whether she is Meng Chang's daughter or not, she has to be charged with resisting the decree.

"Well, there are too many people who can threaten me." Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but muttered to herself, and suddenly felt that the road ahead was dark. There had never been a moment when she felt that she was in such a difficult situation.

This night, she was very tired, but she was completely sleepy, tossing and turning until dawn. At dawn, she called all the good chefs she had selected, and said that they would learn traditional dishes from Chef Fang for a while, and that she would go over on time to teach them something every day. If you have any other experiences, you can come to the back house to discuss with her. She was too tired a while ago, and her body was a little unsuitable.

Everyone responded, and she asked Chen Mo, Zhou Ming, and Li Kai to stay and explained some things to the three of them. Among them, Mr. Fang is very old, and it is not easy to teach cooking skills, so the three of them have full authority to organize, learn modestly, respect Mr. Fang, and not let people be burdened.

The three of them agreed, but when Chen Qiuniang asked them to step back, Chen Mo suddenly asked, "Did Gongzi Jiang encounter something?" ”

Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, and raised her eyes to examine them. Chen Mo's face was blank, and he said very calmly: "The ideal of the three of us is to cook and become a famous chef, on the other hand, when we come here, we are also entrusted by the big boss to protect Jiang Gongzi when necessary." If the son encounters something tricky, just ask. ”

"Yes. When we went down the mountain, the big boss repeatedly explained, saying that Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among people, even if he tries his best to hide it, it is impossible to hide his light, and there will definitely be a lot of danger in the process, and the three of us are here to try our best to protect and assist Gongzi. Zhou Ming added.

The three of them stood up straight, just looking at Chen Qiuniang, as if soldiers were waiting for the general's order, as if she gave an order, they could go to the soup for her, and they would not hesitate.

Judging from Luo Hao's appearance when he first saw Chen Qiuniang, he knew Mrs. Hua Rui, and he should be very familiar with him, after all, he was one of the captains of the guards of Chengdu Mansion and could enter and leave the palace. Otherwise, people in his position would not have been shocked when they saw her. Now, Luo Hao sent these three people here to protect her. Then, on the surface, Luo Hao should not be an enemy.

But who knows? Now everyone who may know her background should be on guard. So, she smiled lightly and said, "The big boss is really righteous." If you have the chance, thank him in person. ”

"The big boss said that the son has a great favor in Zhuxi Mountain, and all the people in Zhuxi Mountain will remember it. This little thing, why worry about it. Li Kai arched his hand.

"You're so polite." Chen Qiuniang stood up as she spoke, stretched out her hand to open a window, looked at the golden sunlight in the courtyard, and said, "I have nothing to do, it's just that I'm too busy for a while, I'm so tired that I want to rest for a while." If you really want to help me, study hard, support the beams of the rich feast, and wait for a while, and then recruit cooks, and ask a few of you to teach apprentices. In the future, there will be branches all over the country, and you may have to inspect the major branches on the way on a business trip all year round. ”

"We'll do what we can. I'm just afraid that my talent is not enough and I will live up to my son's love. The three of them spoke in unison.

Chen Qiuniang waved her hand and said, "Don't say too much." I believe in my vision, you also have to believe in your own strength, study hard, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the combination of different flavors in this world will have infinite changes, different processes, different knife work, different heat can create a variety of delicious, you must be good at discovering. ”

"Follow the teachings." The three of them bowed to Chen Qiuniang.

She waved her hand and motioned for the three of them to go down. After that, she asked Xiaoqing to help her get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to write the content of the lecture. From the change of taste, the control of the heat, the practice of knife work, the matching of taste, the storage of food, the selection of ingredients and utensils, etc., she listed them one by one.

After only writing the content of the lecture five times, Chen Wenzheng hurriedly came in through the push door and said, "Danfeng, someone from the Zhu family is here, at the Good Dream Feast, I want you to be the chef by name." ”

"Oh." Chen Qiuniang stood up, folded the dried course, covered it with an ink tray, and said, "Then let's take a trip." ”

On the second floor of the feast of the wealthy family, there is a large private room near the river, where several pots of orchids are in full bloom, full of fragrance, and six freehand screens of mountains and rivers separate the multi-layer spatial artistic conception. Turning the screen, it is the outer room of the private room, a large bamboo couch is placed in front of a black wood coffee table, white porcelain cups, and waiters in work clothes are kneeling to make tea. On the main seat, it was Zhu Wenkang, who was dressed in a white robe, leaning on the cushion, and on the right-hand side, facing Chen Qiuniang sideways, was a Nian slave in a dark shirt, and his hair was just casually tied with a red hairband and a few strands that were easy to fall down on the back of his head.

When Zhu Wenkang saw Chen Qiuniang come in, he had a playful smile on his face, and narrowed his eyes slightly, like a tiger looking at its prey, as if it would jump up and bite people fiercely in the next moment.

"Master Zhu, this is my cousin Jiang Danfeng." Chen Wenzheng is neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone is appropriate.

"Really?" Zhu Wenkang smiled and glanced at Chen Wenzheng lightly.

"Exactly. He is also the current chef guide of the Wealthy Feast. Chen Wenzheng introduced again.

Zhu Wenkang sat up straight and said: "I heard about Jiang Gongzi's fame, but I didn't expect that he would have such a high understanding of cooking skills at such a young age. really made Zhu admire. ”

"Zhu Gongzi won the award, my parents all like to eat, all parties collect, there were a lot of cooks in the family before, and they were familiar with it, so they paid attention to it everywhere, and they had a glimpse of the essence of eating. Now that my family is in the middle of the road, I pretend to be a chef in my cousin's shop, and I just eat two mouthfuls of rice. Chen Qiuniang behaved decently and looked calm, as if she had never seen Zhu Wenkang before.

"Jiang Gongzi is too modest. However, has Jiang Gongzi forgotten that we have seen it? Zhu Wenkang said playfully.

Chen Qiuniang let out an "oh" with a surprised look on her face and asked, "Really?" I've never had a good memory, and I can't always remember things or people that don't impress. ”

"And what about Chai Yu's life and death?" Zhu Wenkang suddenly laughed twice.

Chen Qiuniang's heart sank, he used Chai Yu to threaten her, presumably Chai Yu set fire to take her away, this person knew everything. She had heard that the Zhu family was acting secretively and viciously, and now that Chai Yu fell into his hands, even if he still had his life, he would definitely be tortured.

The boy had a rough life, because she was in danger many times. Chen Qiuniang only felt a delicate pain in her heart, but at this time, she needed to stay calm and not have the slightest annoyance. When Zhu Wenkang said this, he originally wanted to disturb her mind, stifle her weakness, and completely defeat her.

It can't be messy, and it can't show a trace of decline. Once there is chaos, once the trend is declining, it means that she loses. If she loses, Chai Yu's life will also be lost.

"Who is Chai Yu?" Chen Qiuniang's face did not change, and her tone was calm, as if she had never known Chai Yu.

Zhu Wenkang had a playful smile on his lips, and he didn't continue, but whispered infinitely to Nian Nu next to him: "Nian Nu, since the chief chef of the wealthy night banquet is here, let's see what you want to eat." ”

Chen Qiuniang knew that Zhu Wenkang said something about Chai Yu, so she immediately stopped talking, this was to put pressure on her psychology and make her mess up.

Don't mess around. Chen Qiuniang once again admonished herself. Immediately, he folded the fan and tapped it on his hand, and at the same time shouted: "Cuihua, serve the recipe to the two masters." ”

The waiter who was holding the recipe outside the door lowered his head and walked in with small steps, put a few thick recipes in the hands of Zhu Wenkang and Nian Nu, and said softly: "Please take a look at the two masters." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Wenkang took the recipe and motioned for Cuihua to retreat.

The emerald flower is also a transparent person, and immediately retreated behind the screen. Zhu Wenkang and Nian Nu began to open the recipe. The recipes for this wealthy feast are all written by Chen Qiuniang, transcribed by Chen Wenzheng, and painted by himself, and the workmanship can be described as very exquisite.

"The picture is exquisite, presumably from the hand of the shopkeeper Chen, this Xiaokai is also beautiful, and it looks like the handwriting of the shopkeeper Chen. It's just that the recipe is illustrated, and the main introduction and function are also matched, and my family has traveled from south to north, which is the first time I have seen it. It seems that the grand feast of Shopkeeper Chen has indeed done a good enough. Zhu Wenkang casually flipped through the recipe, made a few comments, put the recipe on the coffee table, and said to Chen Qiuniang: "If you choose the dishes, let Nian Nu go." My taste, he knows. ”

"Okay, Cuihua, come and take Nian Gongzi to the vegetable selection room, serve him well, set the dishes, and then report to me." Chen Qiuniang shouted loudly.

Cuihua, who was waiting behind the screen, immediately ran out with small steps, bowed ninety degrees to Nian Nu, and said, "Nian Gongzi, please come with me." ”

The Nian Nu got up leisurely, straightened out the dark robe, and followed Cuihua out, when he passed by Chen Qiuniang's side, he glanced at Chen Qiuniang, and a gloating smile hung on his lips, like the smile of a hunter looking at the prey in the cage. RS
