As for why she thought of letting Zhe Xia try the dishes, it was Zhe Jin who reminded her when she learned that she was going to open a restaurant.

She said that before Zhexia was picked up by Meng Jing, she was the only great-granddaughter of the imperial chef of the previous dynasty, and since she was born, she ate the most exquisite food in the world.

It is also because of this that she has raised a tricky tongue since she was a child.

Any dish, as long as you taste it, you can taste the inappropriateness in it.

At the beginning, the reason why she stood out from the many dead soldiers and became a member of the Qinglongwei was that she couldn't bear the rough meals on the training mountain......

Chu Ci silently wrote some dishes that had never appeared in the Yun Dynasty, and secretly thought that when it was stable in the future, maybe she could transfer this girl to Ruyi Lou and let her inherit the mantle of the ancestors.

And Zhe Xia had been waiting in the front yard for more than an hour before Chu Ci sent someone to call her.

In the kitchen, Aunt Wu also made a few dishes according to Chu Ci's recipe.

Seeing Zhexia coming in, she hurriedly beckoned, "Zhexia girl, come over and see how these dishes are doing?" ”

When Zhe Xia heard this, he only glanced at it, so he didn't look away, looked at Chu Ci who was smiling next to him, and said, "Girl, are you sure you want me to try it?" ”

"Why, you don't want to?" Chu Ci will fold the ugly distinction in Xia's eyes, frowned, and asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Zhe Xia looked at her and hesitated for a moment, before nodding and saying, "Slave maid...... I'm afraid that the girl will be disappointed! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhi Xia sighed, then pointed to a few dishes on the table, and said, "Aunt Wu's level may be acceptable at home." But if you open a restaurant, I'm afraid it's still far away! ”

As soon as she said this, Aunt Wu's face instantly turned red, her lips twitched, and she didn't know what to say.

Seeing Aunt Wu like this, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and she also realized that her words were a little hurtful, and she was about to apologize to Aunt Wu, but Chu Ci interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "I know what you mean, you go out first." ”

"Yes, girl!" Zhexia agreed. glanced at Aunt Wu apologetically again, and then retreated.

After she left, Chu Ci didn't immediately go to appease Aunt Wu, but lifted the chopsticks and tried the four dishes in front of her!

Aunt Wu saw that she had eaten a few bites of each dish, and her face became even redder.

At the same time, I couldn't help it, snatched her chopsticks, and shouted with a crying voice, "Girl, don't eat it!" Didn't you listen to Miss Zhexia say, my level is still far behind, this kind of pig food is bad! ”

"Aunt Wu!" Chu Ci didn't expect Aunt Wu to be so excited. She put down her chopsticks, called her, and then in her aggrieved and sad eyes, she quickly told the origin of Zhexia's family.

At the end, he said, "Don't say anything else, just say that after we return to the Chu Mansion, Aunt Wu, have you seen that girl eating at home?" ”

Aunt Wu heard Chu Ci ask like this, wiped her tears and thought about it carefully, then shook her head and said, "It seems that there is really none, every time I eat, Miss Zhexia is not there, I occasionally ask her, and she only said that she has eaten outside!" As for what she ate, she had never heard of her.

"That's it!" Purely patted Aunt Wu's hand gently, smiled and relieved her, "This girl is originally different...... So, what she says, you really don't need to take it to heart. ”

"That's what the girl said!" Aunt Wu was persuaded by Chu Ci like this, and the original surging shame slowly dissipated...... After a while, he held Chu Ci's hand again, choked up, and said, "I serve the girl, as long as the girl likes the food I cook, I don't have to take others to heart!" ”

"If only you were willing to think so!" Chu Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Aunt Wu wanted to open it. After that, she ate a bowl of rice on the table to calm her heart.

And after Zhexia went out, the more he thought about what he had just done, the more he felt that what he was doing was inappropriate.

So he found a gap and told his good sister Zhejin again.

After listening to it, Zhe Jin didn't react much, just glanced at her lightly, and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Wu just doesn't understand your tongue, so she will lose her temper, and when the girl makes it clear to her, it will be good if she understands...... Don't overthink it. ”

"Oh-" Zhexia replied with a long sigh, so that he was no longer entangled and went out to do his own business again.

Because of Aunt Wu's experience, Chu Ci didn't have the time to find Zhexia again until the evening.

Zhe Xia had no knot in his heart, and it was crisp enough to recall Chu Ci's words.

She touched her chin and gave her girl an idea directly, "According to the experience of the slave maid who has eaten all over the streets and alleys of the capital for so many years, if you want to talk about your culinary attainments, you still have to belong to Chef Li of Desheng Lou to be the highest, if the girl finds a way to dig him up and sign the death contract, then the slave can guarantee you that in a month, he will definitely be able to train him more than three ranks higher than now!" You're guaranteed to make a lot of money! ”

Chu Ci heard her say this, pondered for a moment, and said, "Kede Shenglou is the prince's property!" ”

She doesn't want to have anything to do with Meng Jing anymore, can she be cheeky enough to go to him and ask for someone?

But Zhexia seemed to know her thoughts, smiled hehe, and said, "So the slave said, let's dig people, not ask for people!" ”

Chu Ci: "......"

"Then if I give you this errand, if you can dig people up, and then train people for me, I will give you twenty percent of the dry shares, and then you will be allowed to ...... Eat casually in a new restaurant for the rest of your life, and don't want a penny of silver? After pondering for a long time, she tried to negotiate terms with Zhexia.

And Zhe Xia heard her say this, and she didn't even think about it, so she shouted "deal" with bright eyes!

After speaking, he didn't give her a chance to speak again, and said, "Slave maid, let's go to Desheng Building", and then turned around and left.

Chu Ci was left in the bedroom, looking at the sky speechless.

Could it be that this is the charm of food for foodies?

……

What she didn't expect was that the girl, at noon on the second day, brought the legendary Chef Li to report to the Chu Mansion.

in the hall.

Chu Ci sat on the main seat and raised his eyes to look at Chef Li in front of him.

Well...... Tall, thin, straight, handsome.

Almost all the compliments that describe a man can be related to him in a roundabout way.

"This, this is Chef Li?" After a long time, she suppressed the shock in her heart, coughed lightly, looked at the man's side, and asked with a smile.

Zhe Xia listened to the master's inquiry, nodded hurriedly, and arched his hand, "Yes, girl, this is Chef Li of Desheng Building." If the girl doesn't believe it, why don't you let him cook a few side dishes now, and teach him as a test? ”

Chu Ci couldn't see the little calculation in Zhe Xia's eyes, she quietly turned her gaze back to Li Lu's face, coughed lightly, and asked, "Chef Li, I have a question for you." Of course, if you want to say it, if you don't, I won't force it. ”

"Girl, excuse me!" Li Lu raised his head and said lightly, the words fell, and he lowered his head again.

Chu Ci: "Then I'm welcome, I want to ask you why you are willing to leave the prestigious Desheng Building." Switch to my small restaurant that has not yet opened and has an uncertain future? ”

"Does the girl want to hear the truth, or is it a lie?" Li Lu didn't look up when he heard her ask like this, but just stood with his eyes and nose and nose and asked rhetorically.

Chu Ci hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I want to hear lies!" ”

"Well, because the little one thinks that the girl is talented, smart and wise, no matter what she does, she will succeed and will not fail."

"What about lies?" The corners of Chu Ci's mouth twitched, and he asked again.

At this time, Li Lu hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Because...... The little one likes to fold the summer girl, and wants to get close to the water and get the moon first. ”

Chu Ci: "......" is really true!

Looking at him again, Zhexia's originally cold and white face was already full of red glow.

However, as the master, she did not protect her maidservant, but rolled her eyes, looked at the girl who seemed to be cooked, and asked in a ghostly manner, "What about you?" I have a love for Chef Li. ”

Summer: "......"

Chef Li was eager to try, and he was indescribably happy, "Miss Zhexia, what does the master ask you...... Remember, tell the truth, or you will deceive your master! ”

When his words fell, Zhexia's face turned even redder.

After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Yes!" ”

"Oh, then get close to the water, and then take the test!" Chu Ci listened to Zhe Xia give a positive answer, and his face couldn't help but be happy, and he said happily, but he didn't mean to give half of the marriage.

Just looked at Li Luwa with bright and hopeful eyes, and gave him an ambiguous answer.

As soon as she said this, Zhexia was satisfied. But Li Lu is unspeakably depressed......

Chu Ci looked at it, and it was a joy again.

Then on the grounds that there was something else to do, the two were dismissed.

Not long after the two left, Aunt Wu came in again outside and handed her a post, saying that it was sent by the Wei Mansion.

Chu Ci opened it and saw that it was Wei Jue's post for her, borrowing the reason for Lu Zhaohua's marriage. I want to ask her out for some shopping.

When Chu Ci thought of shopping, he thought of the newly opened Ruyi Fang.

Immediately instructed Zhejin to help her reply to the post and send it to the Wei family.

Counting up, Lu Zhaohua's good life is three days later, and Lu Xiaojunwang, as her only brother, is getting busier and busier.

On this day, it was night again.

Chu Ci personally twisted the veil for him, and after he wiped his face, he asked, "How is it, are all the things you need to use for marriage ready?" ”

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, "It's almost ready, these days." It's just to improve and add to it. Paused, he raised his hand and brushed the broken hair on Chu Ci's cheeks, and said, "By the way, Zhaohua also asked me to bring you a message, asking if you can go to the county king's mansion a day in advance and sleep with her for the night, she has something to say to you." ”

"It doesn't hurt." Chu Ci always felt a little guilty about her because of Ren Yihua's affairs, and at the moment, he agreed without thinking about it.

When King Lu Xiaojun saw her agree, the corners of his lips were already smiling. Immediately hooked up, stretched out his hand, pulled her into his arms, and said some private words in a low voice......

The night passed quickly.

On the second day, Chu Ci got up, and as soon as he finished breakfast, Wei Jue's carriage arrived.

When the two sisters met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries.

Of course, Chu Ci's occupational illness made her take the pulse of Wei Jue after she greeted her.

Wei Jue sat across from her, looked at her, and asked cautiously, "How is it?" How is my pulse? ”

Chu Ci let go of her hand, nodded, and said, "It's okay." Although it was affected by the previous negative damage drugs, it was not very serious. Did you run out of tocolytic pills that were given to you last time? Later, I will ask someone to bring you a few more bottles, you can take care of it, walk around more if you have nothing to do, it will be good for the child, and you will suffer less when you give birth in the future. ”

When Wei Jue heard her say this, she naturally nodded again and again, promising that she would do what she said.

After that, the two talked about each other's recent situation before holding hands and going out.

Because there are only two people. So Chu Ci simply invited her into his carriage.

Her carriage was specially modified by Meng Jing at that time, and it not only has excellent shock absorption, but also is more reliable than ordinary carriages when encountering danger.

Besides, although Wei Jue is older than Chu Ci, she is a gentle character, especially when she is with Chu Ci, it is simply a puddle of water, what Chu Ci says, she will do.

The two got into the carriage and continued to talk and laugh.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that the carriage stopped.

After getting out of the car, I was facing the alley of Alcohol Straight Street.

Chu Ci stretched out his hand and carefully helped Wei Ying down. Then the two of them, surrounded by domestic servants, walked towards Ruyi Fang.

Wei Ying walked forward slowly, turned his head, and said to Chu, "I've almost prepared the makeup for your sister-in-law, and now with your Ruyifang's skin care products, it's the icing on the cake!" ”

Chu Ci smiled, "Then I'm here, so I'll thank you for my sister-in-law first, and I also want to thank you for taking care of my business." ”

"Do we sisters still need to talk about this?" Wei Jue heard her say this, and looked at her with disgust.

Chu Ci hurriedly smiled and apologized. "It's my sister who lost her words, don't blame my sister!"

As he was talking, the two walked to the door of Ruyi Fang.

The shop has been open for seven or eight days, but it just missed the peak period.

The customers inside are not bustling, but they are just a little lively, but not too noisy.

The maidservant who was guarding the door knew Chu Ci, and when she showed up, she went out to greet people while shouting inside.

When Shopkeeper Li heard the movement, he also came downstairs.

Respectfully saluted Chu Ci and said, "The little one greets the princess!" I don't know how the princess remembered to come to the shop today? ”

When Chu Ci heard this, he smiled faintly at Shopkeeper Li. said, "I'm here with my sister, don't worry about me, just do your own thing...... In addition, in the future, as it is today, I will not look for you by name, you will only treat me as an ordinary guest! Don't mess with the rules. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shopkeeper Li listened to his master's instructions, hurriedly agreed, and after inviting people in, he went back upstairs.

And Chu Ci knew that Wei Jue was choosing makeup for Lu Zhaohua, and he didn't take her to see it underneath. Went straight up to the third floor.

Wei Jue is the only daughter of the Wei family, and there is naturally no shortage of silver in her hands, and after reading it, she quickly chose a set of boxes suitable for Lu Zhaohua's age under Chu Ci's suggestion.

After that, he chose a few sets for several female dependents in his family.

After choosing, she was a little tired, and her nose was dripping with a little sweat.

Chu Ci saw her situation in his eyes, and directly gave the maid beside her a look, and the maidservant girl understood, and walked towards the tea table on the side with Wei Jue.

The two sat down separately, and Wei Jue's maid glanced at the tea on the table, hesitating for a moment, but she still didn't pour it for her own girl.

But Wei Jue didn't think much about it, the maidservant didn't pour her tea, so she picked up the kettle and poured herself a cup.

When the maid saw it, she was about to open her mouth to remind her with a worried face, but Chu Ci waved her hand to stop her, and said to Wei Jue, "Sister try it, this is the tea I specially prepared for Ruyi Fang, and pregnant women can also drink it." ”

"Okay, then I'll try!" Wei Jue looked up and smiled at her, picked up the tea and passed it to her lips.

After taking a sip, my eyes lit up.

"It's very good!" She put down her teacup and praised Chu Ci in surprise.

Chu Ci nodded. No more was said.

The two rested for a while, had another snack, and were about to leave with their things.

But downstairs, there was a commotion.

Chu Ci listened, and his brows furrowed suddenly......

Wei Jue sat opposite Chu Ci, and his face became unnatural.

She looked at Chu Ci tentatively and asked, "What if, sister, you go down and have a look first?" It's not easy for this shop to open, so don't let people have a bad reputation because of all unnecessary things. ”

"I know, thank you sister!" Chu Ci smiled at Wei Jue, and then took the folding brocade and got up and walked downstairs.

When she got downstairs. Shopkeeper Li has arrived.

But despite his best efforts to mediate, the wave of people who came to provoke still did not give up.

looks like he has to smash the store.

Chu Ci looked at it, her brows furrowed suddenly, she turned her head sideways, and glanced at Zhejin.

Zhi Jin understood, and at that moment, at a speed invisible to the naked eye, he spun towards those troublemakers, and pointed at their acupoints, so that they could not move.

At this time, Shopkeeper Li also noticed Chu Ci, and immediately took a few steps back, arching his hand towards her, "Princess." It's chaotic here, why don't you go upstairs first, and then go up to see you when the little one solves all the things underneath? ”

"No need!" Chu Ci waved his hand directly, and then in front of everyone in the hall, he looked at the gang of troublemakers, and the man led by him said, "Say, who are you?" Why did you suddenly come to my Ruyi Fang to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, if you can't say clearly, then don't worry about me sending you to Jingzhao Mansion! ”

The man heard Chu Ci say this, but there was not the slightest fear on his face. There was only anger on his face.

gritted his teeth fiercely, flicked his sleeves vigorously and said, "It's obvious that the rouge sold by your Ruyifang ruined people's appearance, how did it get into your mouth, it became us picking quarrels and provoking trouble!" You are clearly relying on your identity as the princess of Nanjun Wangfu to bully us customers! ”

"I'm telling you, if you don't give us an explanation today, we will definitely smash your store and prevent these harmful things from spreading out again! Just when we eliminate harm for the people! As he spoke, there was another ruthlessness in the man's eyes.

Chu Ci saw the ruthlessness in his eyes, and felt that it was not as simple as simply making trouble, so he frowned again, glanced at him more, and asked tentatively, "Dare to ask Your Excellency if you can make it clear!" How did my rouge hurt people? Who is harmed? You have no head or tail, it's just a smash, a scolding, I don't understand! ”

"Don't worry, since I can open this shop here, instead of walking the streets, then I will definitely be responsible for what I sell!"

"You make things clear, if it is really the fault of our shop, I will naturally not sit idly by, let alone use power to oppress people, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"

What she said was neither humble nor arrogant, and it was reasonable, and the other people present also felt that this was the case.

At the same time, looking at the expression of the man who was the leader of the trouble, he was also a little more dissatisfied, one by one, coaxing and persuading, "Yes, you only said that the rouge harmed people, but you made it clear how it hurt people, and what kind of harm did it become?" You've got to show the proof! ”

"Exactly!" When Chu Ci heard someone speaking for him, he also responded, looked at the man, and said. "Anyway, who are you from, and who used my rouge to use it? Speak up, and we'll figure it out! ”

The man was driven by Chu Ci to talk about this, so he could only bow his hand and said angrily, "Since the princess asked, then I can't hide it anymore." To tell you the truth, I am the housekeeper of Cui Shangshu's family, and the one who ruined my appearance with that rouge is the eldest lady of my family, Xue Ling! ”

"My young lady is thin-skinned, since she was disfigured. I've fainted no less than ten times, and now I can't get out of bed at all...... If it weren't for this, the master would not have asked me to ask a housekeeper to seek justice for the young lady, but the young lady is really sick and dying, and the family can't leave the master! ”

"That's why I, a minion, was driven to the shelves to stand up for the eldest lady!"

"The eldest lady of Cui Shangshu's family?" Chu Ci didn't know much about this girl, she repeated it, and then looked at the folding brocade beside her and asked softly.

She didn't understand this, but Zhi Jin knew best, and immediately approached her and whispered in her ear, "Does the girl remember Mrs. Jiang's Xue family?" That Cui Shangshu is Mrs. Jiang's brother, and Miss Xue is Mrs. Jiang's niece! ”

"I see!" Chu Ci nodded thoughtfully.

At the same time, a hint of mockery rose on his face.

She hasn't forgotten who the Xue family is!

It's clearly the people from Cheng Enhou's side!

If she was still a little nervous just now, she was worried that the daughter of which family used her rouge allergy and ruined her appearance at will.

But now she is almost nine points sure, it must be a set given to her by the Chengenhou Mansion and the Xue family.

As for the purpose, one is to ruin her reputation and avenge the Chengenhou Mansion.

Second, naturally, her shop can't be opened, so the capital, and even the Yun Dynasty, there will only be a shop like Zhenhua Pavilion that sells high-grade rouge.

Thinking like this, Chu Ci's eyes when he looked at the butler of the Xue Mansion also turned cold.

"Since it was your eldest lady who ruined her appearance, and it was said that it was caused by my rouge, then I should not go and take a look, it shouldn't be too much, right?"

When the housekeeper of the Xue Mansion heard her say this, there was a hint of hesitation on his face, and he unconsciously took two steps back, glared and said, "Can ...... But the adults of our family didn't ask me to ask the princess to go back! ”
