When night fell, a bright moon hung in the sky, unchanged for eternity, except that the circle would repeat itself every month, but the bright moon itself had never changed, and had been hanging high since the formation of the galaxy.

Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients. If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together.

In the small courtyard of Sufu, the breeze is warm, peaceful and quiet, and there are crickets chirping rhythmically in the shade and grass.

In the main hall of the reception, on the table of the Eight Immortals of Pear Blossom Wood, a lot of Su Chen's specialty dishes were gradually served, such as assorted pots, spicy hot iron plate mutton slices, and several kinds of stir-fried green vegetables, which were still different from the cooking techniques of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Before the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, roasting and cooking were still the main practices of cuisine; However, in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were already real stir-fried dishes, and there were already iron pots and vegetable oils for stir-frying, but it was difficult for the common people to popularize the iron pots of good quality, and most of the people could only buy poor iron pots at home, and it was easy to fry the vegetables in use, so the stir-fried vegetables were not popularized in the market on a large scale during that period.

In the Song Dynasty, the economy became rich, the food culture rose, the people had a large number of iron pots at home, the supply of edible oil was sufficient, and there were sufficient conditions for stir-frying, however, at that time, it was actually very simple when seasoning, especially the meat was not flavorful, and stir-fried vegetables were still not the mainstream cooking practice.

Su Chen used modern thinking to order a high-quality iron pot from the blacksmith shop, and bought some lard, vegetable oil, lamb slices, a small amount of beef, etc., and added them according to the needs when stir-frying, and the seasoning agent was also prepared sufficiently, so the taste of stir-fried vegetables was extremely special compared to the stir-fried vegetables in this period.

The meals were all served, six dishes and one soup, extremely rich, not to mention four people to eat, even six people, which is enough for the portion.

Xu Qingwan walked into the main hall, looking at a table of dishes with good color, the aroma was fragrant, her index finger moved, her eyes glanced at Su Chen, and a strange feeling surged in her heart: Has this talented man ever been a cook?

After Liu Mo washed his hands and entered the house, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile.

For her, the daily brocade clothes and jade food in Xiangyun Pavilion are not as good as eating the dishes made by her favorite man in Sufu, the key is that what he makes is really delicious!

"Take your seats!" Su Chen took off her apron, washed her hand stains, came in with a smile, and let the second daughter and Ling'er take a seat.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the gate, mixed with the woman's voice: "It's so fragrant, the smell should have just come out of the pot, and we haven't eaten yet, so we came just in time!" ”

When the words came, Su Chen frowned and looked, and saw someone walking in from the main entrance, bypassing the stone wall screen, and entering the courtyard, the three girl figures were Peng Jingqing, Bai Susu, and the maid Xiaotong!

At this moment, Su Chen felt his right eyelid jumping wildly, and for some reason, he had a premonition that the situation was a little out of control.

As the saying goes, three women in one play, now that four women meet, even if Su Chen doesn't understand the minds of girls, he also feels a little embarrassed.

Peng Jingqing enthusiastically held Bai Susu's arm, moving and quiet, from the courtyard to the main hall, the second daughter also seemed to see the bright lights in the hall, there were a few women's figures, a little surprised.

"Hey, there's a guest at home!" After Peng Jingqing said a word, he found that Xu Qingwan and Liu Monong in the room were both familiar faces.

"Susu, Qinqing, you're here." Xu Qingwan greeted the second daughter with a smile, her expression was natural, and there was no disobedience or embarrassment.

Bai Susu saw Xu Qingwan and greeted him with a smile, he got the news from Qin Jing in advance, and learned that Su Chen had disclosed his identity to Xu Cainu, and Xu Cainu also came to visit today, but he didn't expect that she hadn't left by dinner.

"Sister Xu, you're here too!" Bai Susu greeted politely.

Xu Qingwan smiled and said: "Well, you also know that I have admired Su Gongzi's talent for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet, I knew his identity yesterday, and I came to visit Su Gongzi today." ”

"Don't dare to be, Miss Xu has an overreputation." Su Chen took a moment to round up, and then asked Bai Susu, "Have you eaten with Qinqing?" ”

Peng Jingqing shook his head and said, "No, the meal is here, I plan to come to your house for dinner, hurry up, the stools, chairs, dishes and chopsticks are ready." ”

Su Chen was used to Peng Jingqing's straightforward speech, not annoyed at all, and asked Ling'er to prepare the dishes and chopsticks, while he moved two wooden chairs and filled the seats in front of the table.

After a while, Su Chen, Ling'er and the four female guests took their seats, and they became six people at the same table.

The maids Xiaotong and Xiaolan were waiting on the side.

This scene is a bit weird, much like a man in a wealthy compound having dinner with his wife and concubine. However, these women are inevitably too beautiful, and the best red face is full of trouble, which is easy to make the male owner lose his life!

"Move the chopsticks, you're welcome!" Su Chen sat in the pile of women, and he also felt quite awkward, thinking that he wanted them to eat quickly, and leave quickly after eating, so that Su Mansion could be cleaned.

Bai Susu, Peng Jingqing, Liu Monong, and Xu Qingwan glanced at each other, all smiled faintly, and then began to pick up vegetables and have dinner.

Ling'er lowered her head and looked at these beautiful sisters a little embarrassed, she felt embarrassed for her brother!

However, Su Chen didn't have that consciousness yet, he only felt that he had no special relationship with these four girls, but he just had frequent contacts.

One is a partner who has withdrawn from marriage!

A bookseller friend who occasionally learns martial arts!

A Qinglou Huadan who saved her life twice and wrote words for her!

The first talented woman in Runzhou who has just known each other for two days and came to the door to make trouble!

There is no woman who has confessed her feelings to herself, so Su Chen did not treat her specially, and was a little restrained at first, but gradually ate by herself, and did not pay attention to what they were chatting about.

But the thoughts of the four girls are different.

"Congratulations to Miss Bai for being able to seize the opportunity of the imperial merchant for the Bai family at the tribute election meeting this time, I heard that in Runzhou City, many businessmen are now planning to cooperate with the Bai family and stay away from the Ding family." Xu Cainu is still a little well-informed about the big and small news of Runzhou, after all, the people who have dealings with her, in addition to the great Confucianism and talents, there are also some powerful sons and sons of Runzhou and Yanei, and there are also news channels.

Bai Susu glanced at Su Chen first, and said with a chuckle: "Fortunately, thanks to Su Chen, who helped the Bai family plan, he was able to defeat the Ding family and fight a beautiful battle!" ”

Su Chen heard that he was named, raised his head and smiled, and did not say anything more.

Peng Jingqing asked, "Sister Xu, have you been in Su Mansion all day?" ”

Xu Qingwan nodded slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Yes, I asked Su Gongzi many questions, such as font penmanship, arithmetic symbols, poetry and articles, Gewu Theory, etc., today I found that Su Gongzi is erudite and talented, proficient in everything, and is indeed an alternative among scholars. ”

When Bai Susu and Liu Monong heard the news, they were both slightly stunned, and their faces involuntarily appeared a little worried. If he goes to Jinling to be an official, it will be difficult for him to see each other. What's more, the identity of the second daughter, one is a businessman, and the other is a servant, if you want to have further emotional development with Su Chen, it will be even more difficult.

Peng Jingqing said a little indifferently: "What's so good about being an official, look at my father's life in the official career, suffering from gains and losses, not free, it's better for Su Chen to be at ease now, don't worry about food or clothing, have nothing to do, more comfortable than those gentlemen, like a carefree marquis." ”

What does it mean to be idle, more comfortable than a gentleman!

After Su Chen heard this, he protested in his heart against Qinqing's words and sentences.

After a moment of silence, Bai Susu asked Liu Monong: "Miss Liu, the performance of the West Chamber is almost at the end, right?" ”

Liu Monong has always been hindered by his identity, and there is a huge difference between him and the head of the Bai family, the daughter of the prefect, and the talented daughter of the county lord of the Ningguo Mansion, so he was eating quietly and silently on the side, and he didn't say much, and when he was asked at this time, he nodded and said: "I just got the last two scenes from Su Gongzi, and the performance will be finished at the end of the month." ”

Bai Susu chuckled and said, "The fans in Runzhou City are going to have a good time." ”

Peng Jingqing asked Su Chen curiously: "After the end of the West Chamber, will there be a new play?" ”

Su Chen nodded and said: "Yes, the next one is the Peony Pavilion, which is similar to the Legend of the West Chamber, and it is also a love story, which is equally exciting." ”

Peng Jingqing smiled and asked, "Can you reveal some in advance?" Roughly what, is there a martial arts master who appears, similar to the story of Heaven and Dragon Slayer? ”

Su Chen smiled bitterly and said: "You are talking about martial arts legends, and the Peony Pavilion is an ancient romance, and the classification is different." However, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can stage some dramas of foxes, fairies and ghosts, and it will not always be a drama of talented and beautiful women! ”

"Okay, fox fairies and ghosts, it's very enjoyable to hear!" Peng Jingqing is not very interested in the plot of talented and beautiful women, but has a strong interest in martial arts masters and ghost stories.

Liu Monong smiled when she heard this, so that she could get more scripts from Su Chen; I have an excuse to come and contact me often.

Xu Cainu asked curiously: "Heaven and Dragon Slayer, what is this story?" ”

Peng Jingqing said with a smile: "It's the martial arts story that Su Chen told me, because of the bloody case in the rivers and lakes caused by two peerless weapons, the six major sects besieged Guangmingding, it's wonderful!" However, the male protagonist Zhang Wuji's mother-in-law and mother look a little annoying, there are four celebrities around him, Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and Ah Li all like him, but he can't tell who he likes, how do you say he is a man! ”

After hearing this, the other women at the table glanced at each other, except for Ling'er, the number of women on the table seemed to be exactly four, and they couldn't help but look at Su Chen, how could it be such a coincidence?

"It all depends on what I do?" Su Chen was a little stunned.

Yang Ling'er's smile stiffened slightly, turned bitter melon color, looked at her brother, and secretly thought: Brother Su Chen, you can have a snack, these women's thoughts, in addition to not saying it directly, but the affection, even she, a little girl, can see it, but the elder brother has not yet realized it!
