Chapter 144: Xia Ningdie's cooking skills
Hu Guang is also proud of the spring breeze now, don't look at his identity is not a serious identity, but he doesn't steal or rob, relying on his own efforts and Ye Chen's trust to be very satisfied so far.
No matter how bad it is, it's better than the days when I was like a rat crossing the street in Ningcheng. What's more, Ye Chen also assured him that this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.
"Brother Hu, who was that young man yesterday, he was so powerful, he killed Bai Yuan and them all by himself, and none of them came to trouble us?" Someone asked curiously.
"That's my eldest brother, that is, your boss, you don't care who he is, anyway, mix with me, and your parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters will live a good life because of you in the future." Hu Guang replied.
The man immediately said: "Brother Hu, don't worry, just rush to you to save my seriously ill old mother last week, my Yang Zhi's life is yours." ”
Fang Mansion, Fang Zhi and Zheng Gan have also been busy with the recruitment and governance of the other nine prefectures of Zhenyuan Mansion recently, and now everyone is staring at here, and only six of the ten prefectures of Linzhou are under their control, and the rest are more or less divided by other families.
The two of them didn't bring much money here, they could only rely on some tax money to recruit soldiers, and they didn't think about some special channels to make money, but those channels were firmly held in the hands of Wang Zhitian's people.
For example, the grain in Linzhou is all controlled by Wan Kun, and with his current grain storage alone, there is no problem in supporting two million troops for ten years.
There is also Liu Qing, the problem that one person can supply all the armor and clothes of Wang Zhitian's army, there are countless such people, and it can be said that the resources of the entire Linzhou are firmly controlled by Wang Zhitian.
Otherwise, they would have had their own power for so many years, but knowing that Wang Zhitian controlled all this, they didn't dare to fight, so they could only slowly accumulate from some small places, so now the six mansions add up to more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
If there were more people, they would not be able to afford their salaries.
But even so, they are still envied by the people of various families, and there are already many people who know the news of Wang Zhitian's destiny soon, as long as Wang Zhitian dies, everything will be completely changed.
In particular, the benefits obtained by Fang Zhi and Zheng Gan, who occupied the land of the Six Mansions, would be unimaginable, especially the most prosperous Zhenyuan Mansion in their hands.
Wang Zhitian has no queen, which is his biggest disadvantage, although everyone knows that he has a righteous son, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is not enough at all, after all, the "god of war" is not anyone, the time and place are favorable, and all of them are indispensable.
In a legendary army like Wang Jiajun, without a decent general, it is impossible to prohibit orders at all, and it is even impossible that there may be a mutiny, so for so many years, Wang Jun has been desperately trying to establish a good relationship with various generals and soldiers.
"Sister Xia, are you all right, brother is up?" Zhang Qian ran over and asked.
Xia Ningdie was choked and coughed lightly, and replied, "Don't worry, it's already half ready, you came just in time, go wash these dishes for me." ”
"Qian'er, your face is much better, if you are tired, you can rest, I will wash this plate and wash the vegetables." Hongmakeup said, she found that Zhang Qian's face had slowly recovered, thinking that it was the reason for the need to rest.
Zhang Qian touched her hot pretty face and said, "No, no, I'll just come, I'm already much better." ”
Ye Chen saw a puff of smoke rising from a distance, a black line on his head, and secretly said that it was exactly what he guessed, Xia Ningdie's qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were proficient, and her comprehension ability was extraordinary, but in terms of cooking, she really had no talent.
"Ning Die, I've asked them to bring food over in a while, you don't have to be so lucky." Ye Chen walked in and said.
Xia Ningdie, who was concentrating on cooking on the fire, didn't hear what Ye Chen said clearly at all, and turned her head and said, "When did you come, what did you just say, tell me again." ”
"What's wrong with you, how are you the same as the big cat?" Ye Chen realized that Xia Ningdie's forehead and veil were all blackened by smoke.
Xia Ningdie got up and walked to a basin of clear water to take a look, and sure enough, it was already dark, and said: "Black is black, isn't this trying to cook for you to make up for your body, just be kind to Miss Ben, is it possible, you still dare to dislike me?" ”
"Why, you're so good to me, I'm too late to be moved, but since I'm here, then you can rest and leave the rest to me, and let me cook a few dishes for you?" Ye Chen asked.
"That's right, Sister Xia, let's go out and let my brother do it here, have you forgotten what he did this time." The two little girls also said beside them, it seemed that they didn't want Xia Ningdie to continue to stay here.
"It's also said that this big villain dares to go on an adventure alone without saying hello, and he should continue to let him do it." Xia Ningdie smiled, turned her head to the two little girls and said, "Let's go, let's go change our clothes, and we'll wait for dinner in a while." ”
Zhang Qian and Xia Ningdie went out first, leaving the red makeup behind, and quietly said to Ye Chen after Xia Ningdie left: "Brother, we will help you drag Sister Xia in a while, and lunch will all depend on you,"
"Don't worry, trust me, go wash it, you'll become a little flower cat too." Ye Chen responded.
After Ye Chen was the only one left here, he picked up the chopsticks next to him and began to taste the dishes Xia Ningdie had just made one by one.
Sure enough, out of a total of four dishes, only two were barely in the mouth, and the remaining two were completely salty.
Ye Chen glanced at the materials next to him and found that there were still leftovers, and then made the two dishes again, and finally made three new dishes and a pot of soup by himself.
In the end, when Ye Chen was serving the food, he found that the two little girls were really conscientious, and Xia Ningdie was being dragged by the two of them to paint there.
"You're so fast, did you just make one?" Xia Ningdie was a little surprised, she and the two little girls worked hard all morning, and only made four dishes, and it took half a day to make the fire.
Ye Chen did it in just a while, which made her have to doubt.
"You can go and have a look, okay, come with me to serve the food, after eating, let's go to your house and the red makeup house to have a look, this year is the New Year." Ye Chen replied.
At the end of the meal, the two little girls looked at Ye Chen in unison, and when they saw Ye Chen nodding lightly, the two little girls picked up a dish and put it in their mouths.
"How's it going, am I good at cooking?" Xia Ningdie looked at the two girls expectantly.
"Mmmm, it's delicious, it's better than my brother's, Sister Xia, you and your brother should also taste it." Zhang Qian replied.
She ate it, this is the taste of Ye Chen's cooking, so she is relieved.
Xia Ningdie took a bite, then looked at Ye Chen proudly and said, "It's really good, eat it, you are blessed today." (To be continued.) )
