and the Metropolitan Governor's Palace.

Cheng Chuliang went to the military camp outside the city to inspect and returned, threw the reins of the horse to the guards guarding the door, and strode into the mansion.

After entering the house, Cheng Chuliang's figure was stunned, and then he sniffed fiercely in the yard with his nose very unfiguratively, "What is so fragrant?" Take it out and give it to Lao Tzu to taste! ”

Walking quickly into the hall, Cheng Chuliang shouted loudly to the people in the house.

At this time, a maid ring came up, took the long knife that Shi Liang removed from his waist, and said softly: "Master, Madame instructed before, if the old man comes back, please ask the old man to go directly to the back house to eat, the meal Madame has already prepared, just wait for the old man to come back." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Chuliang was stunned: "Mrs. cooked herself?" What's the matter, the lady's status is noble, how can she let her cook herself? ”

Seeing Yahuan nodded, Cheng Chuliang's old face turned dark, and he almost didn't hold his legs and slipped away, what the mother-in-law made was also eaten? Isn't that going for your life?

"When the young master came back from outside, he brought some greens, and the lady was interested when she saw that she liked it. And the aroma that the old man smelled before was emanating from the stove when the lady was cooking. ”

Vegetable?

Yahuan's reply did not make Cheng Chuliang's face look better, what if the aroma smelled good, the meals made by their wife were not golden every time? I have made up my mind in my heart, and after this hurdle in front of me, I will definitely find an opportunity to beat that bastard boy well, okay, what kind of vegetables do you bring home, I don't know if Lao Tzu likes to eat meat? Unfilial things!

Although he wanted not to go, in order to be able to go to bed normally at night, Cheng Chuliang could only move to the backyard step by step with stiff legs.

"Who let the family have a good father and a good brother, can't be provoked and can't hide, so I can only endure it, alas, ......"

Cheng Chuliang walked into the back house dejectedly, entered the small hall in the backyard, and immediately straightened up and cheered up, and walked towards his wife with a smile on his face.

There are two meat and two vegetables on the table, the dishes are fragrant, they look very good, and the smell is really tempting.

But Cheng Chuliang's heart was cold, because he saw that the plate with the greens was surprisingly big, and the greens on the plate were also piled up, didn't he want to die?

Seeing his father come in, Cheng Boyu got up to salute his father, but he had to give Cheng Chuliang a fierce glance, which frightened Cheng Boyu into a spirit, shrunk his neck and sat back.

Cheng Boyu knew that the old man was blaming him for arousing the old lady's interest in cooking, and he deliberately warned himself that according to past experience, a fat beating is indispensable. But this time Cheng Boyu was not worried, he believed that the old man ate these meals on the table, especially the plate of vegetables made by the old lady herself, and he would definitely beg himself to get him some more.

"Madame's body is expensive, how can this kitchen matter be done by Madame herself and directly handed over to the next people to do?" Facing his wife, Cheng Chuliang's rough voice was rarely gentle.

"Don't worry," Li Jingbai glanced at Cheng Chuliang, pointed to the food on the table and said softly: "Except for this plate of green vegetables, everything else is made by the cook in the backyard, if the husband doesn't like the craftsmanship of the concubine, he can't let the husband go hungry." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Chuliang was overjoyed, but he couldn't admit it anyway: "Who said I don't like the food cooked by my wife?" I just don't want my wife to be tired. ”

As if to prove that his heart is the same, Cheng Chuliang lifted his chopsticks and stretched out to the most conspicuous plate of green vegetables on the table.

"It smells so good!"

Cheng Chuliang put the green vegetables in front of his nose and sniffed them lightly, showing a hint of intoxication on his face.

The more fragrant something smells, the more careful you have to be when you eat it, this is the philosophy of life that Cheng Chuliang summed up after eating the meals made by Li Jing for more than ten years.

Sniffed and sniffed the greens under his nose, and finally under Li Jing's earnest gaze, Cheng Chu's eyes were closed, his heart was horizontal, and he threw the greens directly into his mouth, ready to chew them twice at will and swallow them directly.

"Huh? How does this taste ......?"

The dish passed the tip of the tongue, the fragrance bloomed, the expression on Cheng Chuliang's face suddenly froze, and the two tiger's eyes suddenly opened completely.

Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help but ask softly: "What?" How does the husband feel the taste? Can it still be closed? ”

"It's a rare delicacy, comparable to imperial food!" Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but put another chopstick into his mouth, and couldn't stop praising Li Jing while eating: "Madame's craftsmanship is really getting better and better, a simple stir-fry of green vegetables can actually make the taste of the imperial meal in the palace, well, it is better than the imperial meal." ”

Li Jingjiao's white face burst into laughter, this is the first time she has heard him praise his cooking skills so sincerely in the more than ten years since she married Cheng Chuliang.

In addition to being delighted, Li Jing lifted the chopsticks and put them in the bowl for Cheng Chuliang, and said softly: "It's good if the husband likes it, speaking of which, this is all due to Yu'er, the green vegetables he brought back today are really good." ”

"The main thing is that the lady's craftsmanship is outstanding, otherwise no matter how good the vegetables are, they will be in vain." Although he agreed with Li Jing's words in his heart, he was not stupid enough to admit it directly, he glared at Cheng Boyu, who was only caring about the vegetables, and asked in a rough voice: "Stinky boy, what do you say?" ”

Under the forced gaze of Cheng Chuliang's eyes, Cheng Boyu hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, my father is not bad at all, and my mother's cooking skills are better!" ”

"You're going to make me happy."

The smile on Li Jing's face was even worse, and as a reward, he lifted his chopsticks and gave his son a chopstick of green vegetables.

"Huh? This green vegetable seems to be a little ......."

After a few more mouthfuls of food in his mouth, Cheng Chuliang's expression stopped again, and when the food entered his abdomen, a slender warm current began to spread from his abdomen and gradually flowed all over his body.

"Madam," Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Jing, "Did you put any tonic in it when you cooked?" ”

"No?" Li Jing's face was puzzled: "Except for some salt and spices, nothing else has been added, is there anything wrong with this dish?" ”

"No, no." Seeing that Li Jing didn't understand, Cheng Chuliang didn't explain much, and put some into Li Jing's bowl, and said, "Madame also eat more, this dish is really good." ”

Li Jing's face softened slightly, seeing that after only such a short period of effort, most of the green vegetables she made had been wiped out by their father and son, while the other three next to her barely moved, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's good if the husband likes it." Anyway, Yu'er brought back a lot, if the husband really likes it, let the kitchen prepare it at night. ”

"Uh-huh!" Cheng Chuliang nodded vigorously while eating: "It's not bad to eat some vegetarian dishes occasionally!" ”

The meal ended quietly under the gaze of two people gobbling up and one person smiling.

After eating, Cheng Chuliang didn't say a word, and directly grabbed Cheng Boyu's collar and entered the study.

"Honestly, where did those greens come from?" Directly threw Cheng Boyu onto the chair in the study, and Cheng Chuliang asked sharply.

"Fragrant building!" Cheng Boyu replied calmly: "Sun Mancang's old man's newly collected dishes, the child thought it was good to eat, so he brought back some filial piety to your two elders." How's it going, Dad, it tastes good, right? ”

"It's not bad," Cheng Chuliangba smacked his mouth, and Zheng Se asked Cheng Boyu, "Do you know who the vegetable seller is?" ”

"Tang Xiu Tang Ziyou, a famous loser in Taiyuan Mansion, my father should have heard of him, right?" Cheng Boyu said: "It's that he doesn't know where he got this kind of green vegetables, but he only supplies twenty catties a day......"

"The grandson of 'Don Yishou'?" Cheng Chuliang nodded lightly, and suddenly said: "Since it is from the Tang family, it is no wonder......

"What's the wonder?" Cheng Boyu stood up and asked in confusion: "Dad, is there anything else wrong with his green vegetables?" ”

"What's the problem? What could be the problem?! ”

Cheng Chuliang kicked Cheng Boyu's ass and eggs, and said scoldingly: "I have long asked you to practice martial arts and practice martial arts well, but you didn't listen, until now you are still at the peak of external skills, and you haven't even practiced the most basic Mingjin, you still have the face to ask Lao Tzu?!" ”

Without explaining more to Cheng Boyu, Cheng Chuliang waved his hand and said in a fixed voice: "Isn't there twenty catties every day, you go and tell Lao Sun to send all these twenty catties of vegetables to the house, without my permission, you can't sell a piece outside!" ”

"Uh......, Dad, do you know how much these greens cost a pound?"

Cheng Boyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cheng Chuliang blankly, is the old man going to swallow it alone? Twenty catties a day, that is, six yuan of money, the Cheng family's family background is not very rich, if it is according to Dad's method, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will go bankrupt, right?

"How much?" Cheng Chuliang turned his head to look at Cheng Boyu.

"The price of income is 300 wen a catty," Cheng Boyu said: "And the selling price negotiated between the child and the shopkeeper Sun is 300 wen a catty, Dad, are you sure you want all these 20 catties?" ”

"It's only 300 pounds? When did the Tang family's medicinal diet become so cheap? Cheng Chuliang raised his eyebrows, obviously not intimidated by such a high price, listening to his tone, it seemed that he felt that it was too cheap.

As for the selling price that Cheng Boyu said, Cheng Chuliang didn't even think about it. Others can't ask for such a good thing, and they still want to sell it outside, and they have a sick head, right?

"As many as you want, all of them will be sent to Lao Tzu in the house!"

Cheng Chuliang made the final decision, and then didn't give Cheng Boyu any chance to refute, and turned around and walked out of the room. Twenty catties is not much, but if it is used properly, it is enough.

"Medicinal diet? What's that? ”

Cheng Boyu stayed alone in the study, and the look on his face was even more puzzled.
