Su Xian, who was serving the food, slipped her hand, and the dish plate she was holding fell to the ground, startling the few men who were talking, but the two men didn't know her relationship with the Sun family, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Su Chan came over and squatted down, picked up the debris, cleaned the ground, paused, and asked stiffly:

"Are you tired? Let's go and take a break. ”

"It's just a slippery hand, it doesn't matter." After Su Xian finished speaking, she calmly walked towards the kitchen.

Su Chan stood in place and looked at her back, and the man who had an itchy mouth just listening to the gossip in front of the table began to discuss with great interest again:

"At that time, the little lady was tossing in the ancestral shrine with her father-in-law's cousin, the ancestral shrine, it is the ancestral shrine of the Sun family, but the ancestral shrine is also a good place, and no one usually goes there. It happened that Sun Li had a dream that day, and I don't know what it was, so I went to burn incense for my ancestors in broad daylight, but I didn't expect to hear the movement as soon as I walked to the door, and began to think it was a thief, and called someone to take a look, my brother's brother-in-law was doing long-term work in the Sun family, according to him, the little lady's belly pocket was still tied to the head of the Sun family's cousin, the white and tender water, the waist was thin and soft. Sun Lizheng almost fainted when he saw it, and took the person down for trial, the little lady was a powerful one, and kept saying that it was the cousin of the Sun family who used force on her. When the cousin of the Sun family heard it, he was willing to admit that the little lady of the Sun family was determined because Sun Dalang was not good at that, and he couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to have a son as soon as possible, so he found him. He also said that the little lady also wanted a male fetus for the second time, and who knew that it was a female fetus in the dream. I said I didn't want it several times, but the baby really fell out in the end. ”

From the birth of his first son to the present, Sun Dalang didn't notice it at all. Isn't that a fool? The others sneered.

"I said I didn't find out, who knows, maybe it's because I can't do it in that regard, and I'm afraid that people will know, so I have to swallow my anger and cuckold, Sun Dalang's appearance is weak at first glance, how can that look give birth to a son!" The gossip man before said disdainfully.

"Since the little lady and the adulterer have been caught. What happens next? Fire or dip in the pig cage? Someone asked with a laugh.

No matter how angry Sun Lizheng is, it is impossible to do such things under the nose of the government, Sun Lizheng has already sued the Zhao family to the yamen, and the women and children have all retreated. A large amount of compensation silver was also required, and the dowry was also deducted. As for the adulterer, he was beaten half to death and was recuperating from his injuries. ”

"That little lady is not virtuous at first glance, and she hooked up with Sun Dalang first. After that, he forced Sun Dalang to divorce his wife. Being a girl can do this kind of thing, it's okay to play with such a little prodigal hoof, and dare to marry home, this kind of stupid person deserves to be cuckolded! ”

The voices of discussion echoed one after another, and the corners of Su Chan's thin lips pursed coldly, paused, walked to the table where the gossip was in full swing, and raised her chin. He looked at them gloomily, and whispered in a sharp and cold condescending manner:

"A couple of guest officers. Please refrain from mentioning items such as hooves and in our shop, as they may affect the appetite of other customers. ”

"......" Several people who were gossiping about it heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched fiercely, and they all looked at her together, always feeling that today's Su Xiaomei was surprisingly terrifying!

Su Xian walked into the kitchen and said casually:

"I'm sorry, I spilled the curry pork slices just now, please make another plate!"

The voice fell but he was dumbfounded, and the kitchen that should have been busy was unusually quiet at this time, except for Uncle Hu, who was still sticking to his post, the rest of the people were all quietly holding the door and looking into the back alley. Aftertaste leaned against the door frame with his hands on his chest, and listened to Tongxi Tonggui whispering:

"What do Master and Ning Xiaoguan suddenly want to say, and they have to say it behind people's backs?"

"It's the second time I've said this, Master seems to be very close to Ning Xiaoguan recently." The brothers said, looking up together at the nonchalant aftertaste on their faces leaning against the doorframe.

Aftertaste sensitively lowered his head, looked at them, and asked coldly, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

Tongxi Tonggui stared at him for a moment, shook his head together, with a strange expression, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

"Hey, it turns out that the second child likes the short and concise kind!" Su Xian suddenly blended in as if she was airborne, put her hands on the pergola, and looked at Su Miaoningle who was standing at the entrance of the alley face to face, Meng Lang said with a smile.

Her sudden appearance startled the aftertaste, and frowned: "Sister, where did you come from?" ”

"Don't call people like rats, I just made such a loud noise and you didn't hear it, what are you looking at to make you so attentive?" Su Xian raised her head, looked at him with a smile, and asked.

Aftertaste looked down at her for a while with a strained face, obviously a little angry, and asked hard, "What do you mean?" ”

Su Xian covered her lips, smiled, continued to look at the two people standing at the entrance of the alley, and said very deliberately: "Don't say, the second child is quite discerning, although Xiao Le'er is a little shorter and a little worse, he is the only son of the county master, if he can take the exam in the future, even if he is a county magistrate, he will be the wife of a county official." ”

"Just his head that can't even tell the difference between 'noon' and 'cow'?" The aftertaste is disdainful authentic.

"Your mouth is so vicious, ah, Mo Fei, are you jealous?" Su Xian looked at him, covered her lips and asked with a snicker.

After looking at her for a long time, he bluntly put down a sentence: "What are you talking about!" It's the busiest time, so don't you go out and greet guests! As he spoke, he turned around and returned to the stove, muttering while breaking mushrooms, "One or two are like this, and I don't look at what time it is, I actually leave my post without permission when I am so busy, and I am embarrassed to tell others to abide by professional ethics all day long, where is my professional ethics!" He cracked the mushroom vigorously.

“…… Back to my brother, the mushrooms are too broken. Although he didn't want to disturb him when he was talking to himself, Uncle Hu couldn't help but remind him when he looked at him with a hand full of chopped mushrooms.

After a pause, he looked at the white mushroom powder in his hand, and said calmly: "You can cook the soup." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths.

Alley entrance.

"It started about a year ago. The original head chef was sent by Yipinlou's family, and I don't know what the reason was after that. The head chef was suddenly replaced and replaced with the current one, called Zhou Cheng. In the past, he was the big apprentice of the owner of Pinxian Building, and as soon as he took office, all the signature dishes of Pinxian Building were put out again, among which the most popular ones were fried fish in sauce, lychee meat, chrysanthemum sea bass balls and fish roe tofu pot, but people who have eaten it say that the taste is far less than that of the previous Pinxian Building, even so, there are many more people who patronize Pinxian Building than those who patronize Tong's Yipinlou. The Tong family is the rich family in the southern part of Yueliang Kingdom. It is now the tenth generation, and the ancestor has been an official in Liangdu, and after retiring from the court, he has been his richest man in the south. The current Tong Jiaguang Yipinlou has hundreds in Yueliang Kingdom. Other industries don't know. Tong Sishao, who bought Pinxian Building, became the governor of Tongjia Jiangnan and Qin'an provinces three years ago, and he was not very old, but his methods were extremely insidious, and it is said that the most common means he used to expand the industry was to force down the most famous local restaurant. Then take it for your own use. However, he was fourth. No matter how insidious it is, there are three elder brothers above, and the Tong family will not be able to take his turn. Ning Le clasped his hands to his chest and said with a sneer. The most hated thing in his life is the same sex who is smarter than him, and it is rumored that Tong Sishao is extremely smart, although he is a copper-smelling businessman, he is very talented, so he stubbornly thinks that this person is insidious and cunning, maybe he is also bald.

Su Miao lowered her eyes. After a long silence, he asked:

"Do you know where Zhou Cheng lived before he returned to Fengzhou?"

"It's taken a lot of effort on this. After asking the talents in the Pinxian Building, although Zhou Cheng was a person from the Pinxian Building in the past, this time he was transferred as the sous chef of the Lizhou Yipinlou. ”

That is, after leaving Pinxian Building, Zhou Cheng directly jumped to Yipinlou's branch in Lizhou, worked as a sous chef for a year, and then was transferred back to take charge of Pinxian Building......

The corners of her lips hooked up with a sneer, and quickly retracted, she continued to ask Ning Le:

"Does he have a wife with him?"

"He has a seventeen or eighteen-year-old lady and a son."

I even have a son......

It's been almost two years, and unless there's something wrong with your body, it's not strange to have a son.

After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said with a smile: "I have inquired so thoroughly, thank you for your hard work!" ”

"Why the hell do you want me to inquire about those things for you? What is the relationship between that Zhou Cheng and you? Ning Le put his hands behind his head and asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter, it's just that I care a little bit about Pinxian Building." Su Miao replied with a faint smile, paused, and turned around, "Let's go in, there is a pumpkin today, you can make a pumpkin cup for you to eat." ”

"What do you mean by mentioning food at this time?" It's like he's going to help her inquire about it for food, and he's a fool?

"Don't eat?" Su Miao was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at him and asked.

Ning Le looked at her firmly for a while and replied, "Eat!" ”

So the two of them returned to the Su restaurant, and Su Miao walked back to the stove to cut the pumpkin.

The aftertaste standing beside her didn't look up after she came back, and when she waited for two quarters of an hour for her pumpkin cup to be cooked, she still didn't speak to him, although she wasn't very happy that the person who didn't hold back first was actually him, aftertaste looked up at Su Miao, who seemed to be in deep thought, her head was thinking about other things, but the work in her hands was orderly, he was even more unhappy than just now, paused, and counted in a deep voice:

"When cooking, you have to devote yourself wholeheartedly, this is what you said, why are you absent-minded now!"

"How can I be absent-minded." Su Miao glanced at him and asked inexplicably.

Aftertaste looked at her and asked, "What did you just say to Ning Le?" ”

"Nothing, just talk about it." Su Miao replied nonchalantly.

As soon as the words fell, Hu Shi leaned in half of his body from the outside and said loudly: "Miao'er, Wang Zhutou is looking for you!" ”

Su Miao was slightly stunned, answered, and went out with the pumpkin cup.

The aftertaste was left to dry in the kitchen by a person, she didn't tell him the truth, she actually perfunctory him...... Don't they talk about everything?!

"Brother Hui, even if it's soup, this mushroom is too broken." Uncle Hu pointed to the crushed mushroom in his hand and reminded.

There's nothing to talk about...... It seems to be self-righteous in the aftertaste.

Su Miao walked out of the kitchen and put the pumpkin cup in front of Ning Le, Ning Le had already held the spoon, and as soon as the pumpkin cup was brought to him, he immediately raised the spoon and feasted happily.

"Brother Wang, are you looking for me?" Su Miao walked in front of Wang Dabao, every time she saw this eldest brother, she would feel that he was twice as old as the last time they met, even though he was only in his thirties but looked like he was forty or fifty years old, and he didn't know if it was because the yamen was too busy or his younger brother was too worried about him.

Wang Dabao wore a head-catching suit that had not been washed for several days, rubbed his face full of vicissitudes of life, and asked tiredly:

"Has Ah Leopard been here recently, that kid hasn't been home for a few days."

"It's true that I haven't been here for a long time, and even Zhang Hu and Zhao Long haven't come."

Wang Dabao was silent for a long time, lowered his head, and let out a long breath from his nose:

"Two pig's trotters, a bowl of spicy soup, and two or two burnt knives!"

Su Miao looked at his tired face, paused, answered, turned back to the kitchen, picked up the hook and hooked two pig's trotters down, suddenly remembered, threw away the hook and walked to the storage cabinet, rummaging and asking:

"Tonggui, where did I put the rattle grass I picked last time?"

"In the top compartment." Tonggui hurriedly replied.

Su Miao found the rattle grass that had dried up, walked to the cooking table, and asked suspiciously:

"What are you doing with it?"

Su Miao smiled but didn't answer, washed the rattle grass and soaked it in water, squeezed out the water and cut it into minced pieces after blanching, put the sorghum flour, bean dregs, wild vegetable powder, and salt together and stirred evenly, mixed into a dough, made into a small nest, and steamed in a pot.

Now the people of Changle Town are already very wealthy, and even the poorest families rarely eat coarse grains, so when a plate of litters with the fragrance of cereals and wild vegetables is placed in front of him, Wang Dabao, who is drinking stuffy, suddenly tightened his eyes, was stunned, and asked in surprise:

"It's ......"

"Last time, Brother A Leopard came to the birthday banquet, saying that it was Brother Wang who recovered from his injury and caught up with his birthday, so he must celebrate it well, and specially wrote a list to ask me to help him find this wild vegetable to make a nest, and I finally helped him find it, but I don't know why, he was angry and said no. It just so happens that you come today, it's not good to waste what you eat, give it away for free, you eat it! ”

Ning Le had already stretched out his hand, picked up the nest head and took a bite, but he wrinkled his face and spat desperately:

"What is this, so rough!"

"Eat more whole grains and be healthy." Su Miao said with a smile.

As if there were many long-term memories flooding into his heart, Wang Dabao stared at the steaming nest in front of him in a daze.

Su Miao glanced at him and said with a warm smile: "Although I don't know what happened, it's better to say what is in my heart than to quarrel." ”

Wang Dabao glanced up at her, paused, picked up a nest head, and took a bite silently. Rough and astringent, it is not delicious for him now, but the fresh and slightly sweet taste is the taste that he will never forget in the depths of his memory.

"Nosy again!" Standing in front of the small window, I looked at Su Miao, said helplessly, paused, and a soft smile curled up at the corner of my lips. (To be continued......)
