Ping An went for a long time, and it was almost midnight before he returned.

Tian Tian had already fallen asleep, and Yun Zhu sat at the table without any sleepiness and had been waiting for him to come back.

Until there was a knock on the door, Yunzhu hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.

Peace stepped in with one foot. Yun Zhu hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten?" Hungry or not? ”

Ping An said, "I've eaten it a long time ago." Why haven't you slept so late? ”

Yunzhu said: "I can't sleep." ”

"It's too late."

"It's not too late, so I've been worried about you, what's going on, the general isn't angry, right?"

Ping An smiled and said, "I don't dare to contradict the general." Now that everything is in order, let's wash and sleep. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Ping An stroked Yunzhu's face and said gently: "I accept any call from the general at any time, but I don't want to be qualified for the official position." That's all. The general didn't agree at first, but he nodded later. My character is not suitable for villains. ”

Yunzhu looked at him with a smile, although Ping'an's face was a little tired, but his eyes flashed with brilliant brilliance. Yunzhu thought, let Ping An do what he likes, and don't become his hindrance. She smiled and nodded, "That's fine." ”

"So, I also informed the general by the way, saying that we will go back the day after tomorrow."

"Well, okay. Tomorrow we won't go anywhere to play, so we will have a good rest day and recharge our energy before we can travel. ”

Finally dealt with the troubles, whether it was peace or Yunzhu. I slept very well all night. I woke up the next day feeling refreshed.

Ping'an said to Yunzhu: "You pack the luggage you want to bring tomorrow, and I'll go to the place where I hired a sedan chair and ask." ”

Yunzhu agreed. Then you have to get busy. Later, someone from the General's Mansion came and informed them: "The emperor has a will." Please Brother Feng immediately enter the palace. ”

Yunzhu glanced at Ping An with some trepidation, and Ping An patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay." ”

And he went into the palace in peace. Yunzhu was still picking things, and he didn't have any energy at the moment. It's Tian Tian who is busy tidying up.

"Uncle is so powerful, he can still accept the emperor's summons."

Yunzhu smiled and said, "Yes, it's amazing." ”

"I don't know what those princesses in the palace look like, are they just like the fairies in the painting? Do you have good food and clothing every day, and a lot of maids and servants? ”

"Yes. Be. If the princess can't even enjoy these treatments, what kind of princess will she be? Tian Tian's noise didn't make Yunzhu feel annoying.

Fortunately, Ping An didn't go long before he returned, and the joy on his face seemed to be a good thing.

"What? Got a prize? ”

"Huh. You're too smart. I didn't say anything, how do you know? ”

"That's because you can't hide things, everything is shown on your face, and I know you too well, so I can guess accurately. Could it really be that the emperor promised you benefits? ”

Ping An nodded and said, "The emperor rewarded us with 500 acres of land. and he gave him two thousand taels of silver. As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it to Yunzhu.

"Wow. That's all I turned in. ”

Yun Zhu took it a little tremblingly, looked at the numbers on the silver tickets, and was a little dizzy: "You are really amazing, I have to sell a lot of vegetables for this thousand taels, and it will take many years to sell them." And those lands...... God, didn't we become big landlords overnight? ”

"What big landlord? I heard that the land of those noble families is thousands of hectares. What are our hundreds of acres? But with this money, there is this land. You don't have to work too hard, we can also give Tian Tian and Konishi a better life. ”

Yunzhu nodded. I didn't have time to count it, so I quickly put it away.

"The general said he would send someone to escort us back to Chengxian. The cars are all ready-made. So there's no need to go out and look for a car anymore. You clean up again, let's go to the general's mansion to say goodbye. ”

Yunzhu agreed.

Tian Tian wanted to say goodbye to Miss Zhao San. The little sisters see each other and say goodbye.

Mrs. Shangguan and Yunzhu were also saying goodbye.

"Don't stay in the inn in the capital in the future, we have a ready-made yard for you to clean up, whatever you want. These sedan chairs at home are also available to you. You're going to teach me how to cook? ”

Whatever Mrs. Shangguan says, Yunzhu should do.

When they came, there was only one carriage with people and things to carry out, and when they left, they came out of the car they sat in, and followed by two drivers to help them pull things, in addition to the ones they bought, the Zhao family and the Liao family each had a gift to each other. It can be described as a full load.

Yunzhu thought that this was by no means the last time she came to the capital, and there would be many opportunities in the future. She has a faint dream, that is, she hopes to buy a house here in the future and open her own restaurant.

After getting into the car, Tian Tian had red circles in his eyes and didn't speak.

Yunzhu teased her: "It's like a little rabbit." Don't be sad, we'll see Miss Three again. ”

Tian Tian muttered: "The third lady is getting married, and she won't play with me in the future." ”

"You can still find Qiaoxiang when you go back. Aren't you going to be okay with you? ”

"But it's different."

The friendship of children is not so utilitarian and seems very pure.

Because they were not in such a hurry as when they came, they stopped all the way, so when they returned to Chengxian, it was already the end of February and the beginning of March.

went out for more than a month, which made Yunzhu feel as if he had been away for a long time. She misses her son and hasn't stopped for a day. So as soon as she got home, she didn't have time to put down the things in her hand, and when she saw Xiaoxi stumbling towards her, Yunzhu enthusiastically spread her arms, hugged her son tightly in her arms, and said gently: "Xiaoxi, my mother misses you." Are you well-behaved at home? ”

Xiaoxi pouted and kissed Yunzhu's face full of saliva.

"You're coming back pretty quickly, and I think you'll be home in a few days." Mrs. Feng was also relieved to see her son and daughter-in-law come back smoothly.

Family reunions are undoubtedly beautiful and happy. When Mrs. Feng learned that her son had received such a rich reward from the emperor, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Mother. Through his own efforts, your son can make you live a better life, and you won't have to work so hard in the future. ”

Mrs. Feng said with tears in her eyes: "Okay." If your father were still here, I don't know how happy I would be to see this. ”

The mother and son were busy contacting each other, only Tian Tian seemed a little lonely, and Ah Hong slowly collected the things she bought for her. She just sat there in a daze.

"Miss, on the seventh day of the second month, the old lady of the He family passed away. At that time, someone from the He family came to ask Miss to go back, but we said that Miss was not there. They still didn't believe you, and they broke in and looked for you everywhere before they stopped. ”

Tian Tian was a little surprised. Has that so-called grandma, the annoying old woman, finally died? That way she doesn't have to go back to the place she doesn't like.

The lady said that she would wait until the young lady went back to pay the sacrifice. So when will the young lady go over again, let's discuss it with the uncle and the young grandmother. ”

Do you want to go to the Hanging Sacrifice? Tian Tian thought to herself, she didn't want to go back. She didn't like everything there.

After Yunzhu learned about this, he discussed with Tian Tian: "Do you want to go back to the sacrifice yourself?" I heard that he was buried on the fourth day of junior high school. ”

Tian Tian asked rhetorically: "Mother hates grandma, right?" ”

It doesn't belong to the things that this cloud bead has experienced. The remaining memories were a little too far away for Yunzhu. However, the old lady Xie that Yunzhu came into contact with after that was really unlikeable. Her meanness and stubbornness are what make Yunzhu hate.

"I don't like her anyway."

"Good. Then I won't go. Let Ah Hong bring some offerings over and put incense on my behalf. I don't care what the He family thinks of me, anyway, my mother and I have no contact with the He family at all. ”

Yun Zhu looked at Tian Tian's face flushed slightly because she was a little excited, and she said gently: "Tian Tian, you have also grown up and can handle some things by yourself." I'm glad that this is exactly what you want it to do. It doesn't matter what my mood is, and I don't care about the eyes of the rest of the He family. ”

Tian Tian nodded and said, "I see." Mother. ”

Tian Tian took some money to Ah Hong on the second day and asked her to watch it. Ah Hong was a little stunned. Turning around to ask Yunzhu, Yunzhu said: "You just do what Tian Tian wants, don't use it to reply to me." ”

Yun Zhu went to Zhang Fu, Xiao Wu and Master Jiang respectively, and discussed that they planned to open the Wuwei Restaurant on March 15. Ping An was able to help Yunzhu this time, he took the initiative to take care of the purchase in the store, and the burden on Yunzhu instantly lightened a lot.

"By the way, what are you going to do with that money?" Ping An asked Yunzhu. After he handed over all the silver tickets to Yunzhu, this was the first time he asked.

Yunzhu said: "I plan to put 1,000 taels in the money village, and the others also plan to buy a more spacious courtyard again, and there are two entrances." I'm going to buy a few more shops. Of course, there will be some left, so it's better to tear down the old house in Huaishu Village and rebuild it, as for how to repair it, I'll leave it to you, okay? ”

"Hey, you let me do it."

"What's not to do? You didn't come from this before. My wish is to build a small and unique garden, with flowers and water. I won't ask for anything else. ”

Ping'an muttered: "Okay, I'll do my best, as for whether the cultivation is in line with your heart, I can't guarantee it, and you won't be able to complain when the time comes." ”

Yun Zhu smiled like a flower: "How can I complain to you, I will fully support you for the things entrusted to you." ”

Yunzhu's words made Ping An extremely relieved.

The Five Flavors Restaurant has finally opened smoothly according to the plan, and they have been closed for more than two months, but a group of old diners have been saddened by the fact that they thought that the Five Flavors had fallen since then. So on the day of business, discounts were given to old diners, and Yunzhu personally went to the stove and fried a number of specialty dishes to treat them.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Song, I heard that you also signed up for the food competition in April, how are you prepared?"

Yun Zhu smiled with an inexperienced look: "I haven't prepared yet, I don't even know what the theme is." So there's nowhere to prepare. ”

Zhang Fu heard that he hurriedly interjected: "Oh, the shopkeeper doesn't know yet." The shopkeeper in Huibin Building had already announced the title a few days ago, saying that it was about 'flowers'. ”

"Flowers?" Yunzhu thinks it's so novel, what kind of food can be made with such a theme.

"Yes, a few of them summed it up, and said that in the spring, flowers bloom, and it is not uncommon to use flowers in food, so this is settled. It seems that he wants to make a hundred flowers feast. Hey, if nothing else is easier, isn't this flower embarrassing? Zhang Fu couldn't help but start worrying.

Yunzhu said: "It's okay, it's still too late to prepare, let's do our best." It's impossible to back down if you've already signed up, just show your face at the contest and let others remember the name of our restaurant. ”

Zhang Fu nodded and said, "That's it." ”

The diner who spoke just now said: "But the food competition is far less interesting than when it first emerged, the first few sessions were very good, lively, and there were many people cheering, even the county magistrate also appeared." Later, it was reduced to a venue where those big restaurants and restaurants took turns to promote themselves, and the ranking had already been decided. ”

The more Zhang Fu listened, the more bored he became, and said, "Isn't this fair?" ”

Yun Zhu asked about Master Jiang.

"Would you like Master Jiang to try it with me?"

Master Jiang smiled indifferently: "I am also a person of five flavors, and I should make a contribution." ”

"Well, now that things are now, there is no room for retreat, everyone should work hard. It doesn't matter what the rankings are, just try to make everyone remember us. ”

To be honest, this is indeed a tricky topic, there are many flowers that can be included in the dish, but most of them can only be side dishes, or decorations, and there are only a few dishes to choose from. She will do it, and other cooks will do it.

Tian Tian walked over, and said to Yunzhu: "Mother, you promised me a while ago that you would teach me how to cook, when will it start?" ”

Yunzhu is a little distressed, where is she in the mood to teach her daughter now.

"Well, starting tomorrow, you can go and find fifty kinds of flowers that can be cooked and eaten to show me."

"Hey, my mother doesn't teach me seasoning, she doesn't teach me knife work, but she teaches me this?"

"Understanding food is the first step," Yunzhu said. ”

Tian Tian said: "Okay, I will definitely do what my mother orders." ”

For several days in a row, Tian Tian and Ah Hong went out to hang out, from the vegetable market to the countryside. She searched for all the flowers she knew she could eat.

From the roses and moon seasons at the beginning to the daylilies and jasmine in the back, Tian Tian tried her best to find everything she knew and showed it to Yunzhu.

Yunzhu is just a sentence to send her daughter, I didn't expect Tian Tian to be so serious about it. Every day she brings different kinds of flowers, although the types are getting fewer and fewer day by day, Tian Tian is really looking for it very seriously. Yunzhu was impressed by her daughter's efforts, and she was ready to go out with her daughter, intending to find a hundred kinds of flowers that could be used in the dish.

The personalities of the mother and daughter are extremely similar, they are both stubborn people, and they insist on what they believe without hesitation. Even Ping An sometimes says, "They are so stubborn that they give people a headache." ”

Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter really found a hundred kinds of flowers that can be used in the dish, which surprised everyone. (To be continued......)
