Because Fang Qi took the initiative to offer the production method of chili oil and bean paste, Mrs. Wen was very happy to support Fang Qi's cause of currying favor with her grandfather and grandmother.

"Your grandfather is a person from Yangzhou, don't like to eat spicy, the favorite dish is the honey crisp sliced duck, the old lady because she lived in Chengdu with her parents when she was a child, but she likes spicy food, the old lady loves to eat Jin Ming chop, and the fresh fish used to make fish is best produced in Yazhou's Yayu, for the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, I have already entrusted the business house to buy a hundred tails from thousands of miles away, Jin Ming chop is not difficult, the test is the knife work, Yayu is not easy to come by, you first use Jiang carp to practice your hands."

He also told Fang Qi in detail about the cooking method of honey crispy sliced duck, emphasizing: "This dish does not sound difficult, but it is not easy to keep the duck skin charred and crispy, and let the honey/juice penetrate into the duck meat, and it is very difficult to master the proportions and heat." ”

Fang Qi let out a long sigh.

She finally understood why Aunt Wen refused to teach her the main dish of the banquet table, such as this honey crispy sliced duck, in order to ensure the tender taste, a fat duck only takes two or three slices of meat, and it takes at least twenty ducks to make a plate. She was so poor that she couldn't even learn how to cook.

Therefore, in life, the most important thing is to have money and silver.

"I won't go to the Xiangdi for the past few days, and you can't come to my house every day, but my private chef in the Xiangdi can be lent to you to use, the utensils and condiments are complete, and you don't have to worry about the ingredients, I will let the family send them to the Xiangdi, even if it is costly, the eldest lady can't hold your handle."

Aromatic period: ......

A master like Aunt Wen is really great.

But I still have to express some shame: "The lady taught me cooking, and I have to let the lady break the bank, how embarrassing it is." ”

"How much can you spend? Your knife skills have been practicing, and the skills of the fish fish can be mastered quickly, as for the roasted duck, you don't need to really make a big plate to practice your hands, according to your talent, it will be enough to spend at most a dozen or so. ”

Fang Qi got another inch: "I still want to ask the lady to wait for her time to teach me that quail crystal tart." ”

Aunt Wen felt that the value of chili oil and bean paste was far higher than these three dishes, so she agreed very happily: "Today, you will see me make these two dishes first, and in a few days, I will also promise to make the quail crystal sauce for Yan Lang to taste, and you will come over that day." ”

Before returning to the Xiangdi in the Fang period, I didn't forget to have two small jars of mustard vinegar pickled by Mrs. Wen herself, the weather is hot, and the pickled vinegar is mixed with some chili oil and white porridge, which must be very appetizing.

At lunch the next day, Fang Qi put this jar of pickled sorrel to handy.

After saving this morning, she went to Mrs. Wen's private kitchen to be busy, and roasted three ducks in a row and finally it was not so unpalatable, but it had not yet reached the sweet and tender taste of the crispy skin and meat, and she was not in a hurry during the fang period, so she took a jar of green mustard pickled by Mrs. Wen, mixed it with sugar, chili oil, and sesame oil, and asked March to send a bowl to Yugongtang, and gave it to the second brother, the third brother, the second brother Xu, and the four of Brother Li as accompaniments, and the rest were divided into three small plates and given to the fourth sister two small plates.

Zhou Xiaoniang does not live in the Qiuliang Pavilion, but she mostly uses lunch with Siniang, and Fang Qi plans to further maintain friendly relations with Zhou Xiaoniang.

As soon as this was done, the system went live.

Dear, the side quest has risen by five points.

Fang: Huh? I haven't provoked the eldest lady yet.

System: Zhou Xiaoniang is a thorn in Wang's side, and every time she gets closer to you, Wang will be more afraid of you.

In this way, her pickled vegetable snacks are very suitable for Zhou Xiaoniang's appetite.

Fang Qi had just finished lunch, and was about to go to the blister kitchen to work hard, but Zhou Xiaoniang came over with a red paint eight treasure box, and said with a smile to Fang Qi: "I have entered the summer, and I have always had no appetite at noon, and today I drank two large bowls of porridge with the sorrel sent by Sanniang, and I have nothing to thank Sanniang, so I took some candied fruit over, thinking about ordering tea for Sanniang again." ”

Zhou Xiaoniang's family used to run a teahouse in Kaifeng, so the skill of ordering tea with one hand is superb, and she can divide the tea, and can draw a picture pattern on the soup noodles.

It's no wonder that Zhou Xiaoniang can be pampered for a long time.

Fang Qi knew that her father was only considered the heir by Weng Weng after the age of fifteen, and before that, although his father also planned to take the road of the imperial examination, but because of the embarrassment of the family, he insisted on relying on relatives to help him in his studies, where did he still have the heart to learn the elegant things such as piano, chess, poetry and painting, flower arrangement, and tea, but he was in response to a sentence of what was lacking and what was urgent.

Zhou Xiaoniang can divide tea with one hand, and she was praised by Qin Jing as elegant and impressed by her.

At this time, Fang Qi sighed: "With the guidance of the little lady, although the fourth sister is young, she has also learned to make tea, unlike me who doesn't know anything, no wonder I am regarded as useless by Daddy." ”

"Su Xiaoniang can also order tea, and her skills are even stronger than mine." Zhou Xiaoniang said with a smile.

"I don't even know what the little lady will do, and the little lady never tells me this, let alone advises, in my impression, the little lady has nothing else but to be silent." Fang Qi's words are true, her biological mother used to treat her coldly.

"To say that Su Xiaoniang was not so silent before, when I first entered the door, Su Xiaoniang reminded me, saying that at that time, the eldest lady's two sons and one daughter had died one after another, and I was depressed, so I should take everything to heart, don't anger the eldest lady."

Fang Qi was surprised: "I only heard about the death of the eldest sister, but I didn't hear that in addition to the eldest brother, the eldest lady has two sons. ”

"The eldest lady's firstborn is a son, and she died before a hundred days, and the later one was the eldest mother, and the eldest mother had a sister-in-law under her, and she didn't even raise a year old, so the two little Langjun didn't have time to preface the teeth, this matter really touched the taboo of the eldest lady, and no one in the family dared to mention it, so Sanniang didn't know that you still had two brothers who died before the prelude."

Zhou Xiaoniang came over today, just for the sake of "courtesy exchanges", but she was not in a hurry to fan the flames, and she had to go to roast duck in the next day, and she had no intention of having a long talk with Zhou Xiaoniang.

And on the second day of the first month of May, Mrs. Wen "returned to work" and personally inspected the two dishes made in Fang Qi, and she was even more sorry: "Jin Ming will not say it, the key is that the knife work and the ingredients themselves are delicious, but this honey crisp roasted duck is extremely difficult to master, only three days, the roasted duck you cook is at least more delicious than the finished product of Chunfeng Lou, it is really a good material for cooking." ”

Fang period has been recognized and encouraged by Mrs. Wen, and her confidence has increased a hundredfold.

On the third day of the fifth month, the imperial court began to have a holiday, and the Xiangdi was busy before, but most of the visitors on this day were for bribes and gifts, so it was naturally impossible to bring family members to eat and drink, not to mention the ladies such as Fang Period, so even Qin Xun was too lazy to show his face, and only told his nephew Qin to go to the flowing water banquet to entertain.

He stayed in Fengshu that day, wrote for half a day, and was about to go back to Guanchun Garden to take a nap, but he saw Qin Chu coming in in a hurry, and at first he thought that something was going on at the banquet.

The guards are good at drinking, and there are occasional incidents of disputes and even hands at the banquet because of a few more drinks.

Qin reported something else.

When Qin Xun heard this, his brows frowned tightly: "Did the eldest woman really contact Liaoguo Xizuo?" ”

"Yes, and I bribed a lot of money, and I said that I wanted the people of the whole hall to design to make the Ge family lady die violently!"

"It's ridiculous!" Qin Xun snorted coldly: "Ge Chengzhi is the minister of the official family's mansion, the official family has always believed in him, and Ge Dalang is the champion and the first, and the future is limitless." This marriage is beneficial and harmless to our family, how do we know that the eldest woman can be so stupid, she thinks that it will be seamless to buy the Liao people, but she doesn't want to make enemies of the Ge family if she misses! ”

"Xianggong doesn't need to be anxious, after all, the people who beg the whole hall don't dare to mess around, and the reason why he notified his nephew is to ask Xianggong what he means."

"I can stop her from being stupid this time, but I can't stop her from being stupid next time." Qin Xun thought for a while, and then said to Qin Xun: "That's it, I'll deal with this matter, you told the people in the hall to let them not listen to the woman's words and do such stupid things, the two countries are now in peace talks, if they dare to assassinate the wife of the important minister, wouldn't they give it to the main battle faction?" ”

Qin Xun waited for Qin to go out, and he was no longer in the mood to take a nap.

He doesn't like his eldest daughter-in-law very, very much, to be honest, he doesn't even look down on his second uncle, but when his old wife had to marry his uncle's family again, the eldest uncle and the third uncle's daughters are not of the right age, only Wang Shuting is a lady of the right age, in order to marry Wang Shuting and help the old wife housekeeping, he actually chose another heir.

Although Qin Jing's conduct is good, and he is good at learning and progressing, he has a rigid temperament, and Qin Xun doesn't like it from the bottom of his heart.

But who makes the old wife and Wang Shuting like it?

was exiled to Shangjing back then, although Wang Shuting did those things viciously, but in the end it was beneficial for the family to gain a foothold in Shangjing, and Qin Xun didn't bother to take care of it, but now he has returned to Lin'an!

Wang Shuting, a fool, really thought that since the official family had made up their minds to negotiate peace, they would not even investigate the crime of secretly fornicating with the Liao State by the courtiers? Liao has a fine line in Lin'an, but David has no fine in Shangjing? It's two things to ask the whole hall to not be exposed, she actually dared to buy the Liao people to murder the Ge family's wife!

In the past, their family was in Beijing, and it was a last resort to show favor to the Liao people, and it was an expedient measure to win the trust of the Liao people and arrange for them to return to China to facilitate peace talks.

Qin Xun felt that his tolerance for his eldest daughter-in-law had reached the limit, but he knew that it was impossible to persuade his old wife to divorce this scourge, if he let the eldest woman die violently...... Forget it, after all, the eldest woman's surname is Wang, she is the granddaughter of her father-in-law, and she has been cared for a lot by Lao Taishan, it can be said that without Lao Taishan's support, her career will never be so smooth, and she has done something that can't live with her old wife.

And to stop the eldest woman from being stupid, she doesn't necessarily have to kill someone, as long as she stops the marriage between Erniang and Ge Erlang.

As soon as Qin Xun thought of this, he had another idea.

So he asked someone to call Fang Qi.

Straight to the point, he said: "I'll give you a chance, test whether you really have the ability, you have to do this, I guarantee that you will be more free in the future, you think of a way, so that Erniang can't marry Ge Erlang, and it is best to let our family and Ge family continue to marry." ”

Qin Xun naturally wouldn't tell Fang Qi the reason, and waved his hand: "I'll only give you three days, if you haven't figured out a way after the Dragon Boat Festival, even if you haven't passed the test." ”

Fang Qi wants to cry without tears, her life is really worse than Huang Lian, while completing the task of the system, she also has to complete her grandfather's task, and her grandfather's task cannot be completed, because her grandfather's implication is that if she is not useful, she will not care about her life and death in the future.
