Chapter 352: Inquiring about the capital

"Then you wait!" Cheng Yangyang looked back at Zhou Ping and said with some embarrassment: "Shopkeeper Zhou, can I borrow your kitchen to make some food for myself, I'm too hungry." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Ping agreed, he walked out and led her to the back kitchen.

When Gu Jiang heard that she was going to cook by herself, he followed curiously.

There are two cooks in the back kitchen, two who cut vegetables and one who burns wood, they are all very busy, and there are many diners waiting for their dishes outside.

Cheng Yangyang's requirements are not high, she doesn't occupy their cauldron, she just uses Zhou's shopkeeper to open a small boiler.

"Wronged Miss Cheng, you use this small stove", Zhou Ping took her to a corner of the kitchen, pointed to the small stove in the corner, and asked her to use this.

"It's okay, it's enough to cook!" Cheng Yangyang didn't mind the small stove at all, she squatted down and took the pot out and washed it.

Their carriage was parked in the backyard, and she went to the carriage to get some of the ingredients she had brought, and went back into the kitchen with her arms.

Gu Jiang was sitting in the courtyard of the back kitchen, the kitchen was too small, and it would get in the way if he went in, so he simply sat in the backyard and waited.

Cheng Yangyang handed over his side dishes to the kitchen chopping workers to help cut them, and he was tinkering with something on the side.

She brought ingredients with her to prevent them from making their own food when they couldn't catch up with the city on the way, so for convenience, she brought a lot of semi-finished products.

As long as the side dishes are cut, she can start cooking the dishes.

"Gu Gongzi, can you eat spicy?" Cheng Yangyang suddenly poked his head out of the kitchen and asked Gu Jiang, who was sitting in the courtyard.

"It's edible!"

Hearing his answer, Cheng Yangyang didn't wait for him to say anything more, and went into the kitchen again.

After a while, a special smell wafted out from the kitchen, which was originally occupied by the rich aroma of cured duck, and the smell of that smell already made the mouth mouth tingle.

"Yo, what is Miss Cheng doing?" The two chefs in the kitchen had been busy and didn't bother to pay attention to Cheng Yangyang until they smelled the smell and turned to look at her.

"It's nothing, make some home-cooked food", Cheng Yangyang got up and explained with a smile, she really just cooks home-cooked food, but the ingredients are slightly different.

"Miss Cheng is hiding!" Seeing that she didn't want to say more, the two chefs didn't say anything, just teased her, and then went back and continued to cook their own dishes.

Cheng Yangyang only cooked the dishes that the two of them ate, and the speed was much faster than them, and it didn't take long to see her serving the dishes out of the dining plate.

"Gu Gongzi, the meal is ready, let's go upstairs together!" Cheng Yangyang walked out and said to Gu Jiang, the two of them went upstairs directly.

She didn't know which room he was in, so she walked straight to her room, and Xiao Er followed behind them and helped them bring them rice and chopsticks.

"Is this Miss Cheng's room?" Gu Jiang looked at this ordinary room and threatened to change her room, "How many days do you have to stay? I'll help you change to a bigger room!"

"No need, this room is enough", Cheng Yangyang refused his kindness, for her, as long as there is a bed in the room, she doesn't care much about anything else.

Gu Jiang sat down across from her, and Cheng Yangyang handed him a bowl and asked him to eat as much as he wanted, "What about the little brother next to you, don't you ask him to eat together?"

"The fun is still sleeping, let's eat it ourselves", so he doesn't let others disturb them!

"What is this?" Gu Jiang asked curiously, looking at his somewhat unfamiliar dishes on the table.

"This is boiled fish, this is fried preserved duck, this is steamed pork, this is hot and sour shredded potatoes, and there is a fresh vegetable soup", Cheng Yangyang introduced him one by one, and ate it himself.

"I know the meat you said, but the method is different from what ordinary people make, what is this?"

Gu Jiang was very curious about the duck, and he stretched out his first chopsticks towards the fried duck, but he didn't quite understand what the red, yellow, and green things in that dish were.

"This is a bell pepper, which my family grows themselves. ”

"Is it chili?"

"No, it's a bell pepper", Cheng Yangyang replied to him, motioning for him to give it a try.

"Is the pepper still sweet?" When Gu Jiang heard this, he felt even more novel, he took a piece and put it into his mouth along with the duck meat.

The salty aroma of the duck meat and the umami of the bell pepper are combined to form a unique taste, which makes his eyes shine, "Delicious!"

Cheng Yangyang saw the surprise on his face, which made her want to ask, "Gu Gongzi, where are you from, why did you come here?"

Many people in Dali Town know that there is a Chengjia department store in Shimen Town, so they will occasionally take a carriage to Shimen Town to buy her food, not to mention that everyone in Dali Town has eaten her food, but most of them have eaten it.

I haven't eaten, except for the caravans who are in a hurry, and I don't know where I come from like Gu Jiang.

"I'm coming all the way south from the capital, as for why I came here, it was purely an accident", Gu Jiang suddenly smiled embarrassedly, looked at her and said, "Because I got lost with Lezi......"

"From the capital?" Cheng Yangyang paused when she heard the word capital, because she was too familiar with these two words, or rather, she was too familiar with some people from the capital.

But she soon regained her composure, and she inquired about him in the name of chatting.

"It turns out that Gu Gongzi is from the most prosperous place in Nanyi, is the capital fun? I haven't been to it yet!"

"You haven't been there?" Gu Jiang disagreed, "It's okay if you haven't been, there's nothing fun in that place!"

"Really?" Cheng Yangyang raised his head, "But everyone envies the people in the capital, it is said that they can see the emperor or something, have you seen them?"

"I've seen it", Gu Jiang nodded, but his eyes never left the dishes, "When I entered the palace with my father, I met a few times. ”

"Can you enter the palace?" Looking at Gu Jiang's appearance, Cheng Yangyang knew that he was rich, but he didn't expect him to be able to enter the palace, "In this way, your identity is not simple." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiangcai finally shifted his gaze from the plate to Cheng Yangyang's face, "Miss Cheng, is there anything you want me to help with?"

For the sake of her cooking, maybe he could consider helping out.

But if he helped, it would mean that he had lost her friend, and when he thought of this, Gu Jiang's face was slightly disappointed.

"I don't have anything to ask you to help with!" Cheng Yangyang shook his head, when did she say that she wanted him to help?

"Is it really not necessary?" Gu Jiang's previous experience told him that when others knew that he could enter the palace, they would ask him for help, so he didn't believe that Cheng Yangyang wouldn't ask him for help.

"Why should I ask you for help? I won't enter the palace", Cheng Yangyang smiled, what's wrong with him?

"It's okay!" Gu Jiang saw her sincere look, he suddenly became happy, it seemed that he didn't mistake her!
