Chapter 16: Pot Wrapped Meat: The Legend of Harbin Diet Ancestor (3)
Wretched.
Helpless.
Uncomfortable.
Looking at the interaction between the young Zheng Xinwen and his childhood sweetheart Mao sister Lori, Hao Xian's eyes gradually faded.
I'm here to save the pot meat, why are you feeding me dog food?
Brother Chef, do you think I was chosen by a material that can be made, or do you think I was a bully to choose me?
Hao Xian had the urge to turn around and float away, but remembering that he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, it was not good to really leave. What if an adulterer who doesn't pay attention comes to harm Zheng Xinwen?
So he could only force himself to stay by Zheng Xinwen's side like a spirit behind him, trying to block what the two said.
I can't block it.
Because he found that even if he blocked his ears, he could still hear all the sounds clearly, after all, he was a soul now, and his ears were just decorations.
However, in the process of being forced to eat dog food, he at least solved the mystery of why Zheng Xinwen had a hairy girl's childhood sweetheart.
As early as the 17th century, the Qing Dynasty had a military conflict with the Rakshasa State* in Heilongjiang, and the captured Russian troops were moved to Beijing, and at the behest of the Kangxi Emperor, they were given the status of banner people, and they were assigned to the most descendant Manchurian Yellow Banner.
[*Note: Rakshasa was the name of Russia at that time, given that there should not be so many readers who know Russian, you can refer to the pronunciation of English Russia, which is similar to Rakshasa in pronunciation. 】
This group of surrendered soldiers was mainly engaged in intelligence reconnaissance and recruitment of the Rakshasa country, so they were regarded as "Russian traitors" in Russia at that time.
The Qing court was very wary of all kinds of foreign cultures, but for the purpose of wooing, Kangxi gave the Rakshasa troops a Guandi Temple as a temporary church, renamed "Rakshasa Temple", which could only be used by themselves, and it was strictly forbidden to preach to others.
Due to the strong assimilation ability of the Chinese nation, the descendants of these Russians gradually regarded themselves as Chinese, and the Rakshasa Temple became cold.
However, in 1858, after the Second Bitter War, the Qing government was forced to sign the Treaty of Tianjin, which allowed the foreign powers to preach freely. The Russian Orthodox Church, which already had a church in Beiping, was able to seize the opportunity compared to other churches and immediately went all out to preach to China.
Anna's uncle went to China as part of the mission, and Anna's father later brought his family to Beijing to join his brother, and with the support of the church, he opened a Western medical clinic.
Her family clinic is near Zheng's house, and Zheng Xinwen, who escaped from home after being beaten, accidentally fell in front of the hospital one day, and was healed of his injuries by Anna's father, and the two families have formed an indissoluble bond since then.
After learning all this, Hao Xian's heart became even more sour.
Why didn't I have a cute Lori to cure me when I was locked up in the kitchen by my father when I was a kid and practiced my cooking skills?
Is it that I don't deserve it?
Oh, there is Sister Sisi who comes to laugh at me every day for not even making golden eggs and fried rice, and other sisters in Chinatown follow her to pinch my face and play......
The king of the vegetable field lowered his sad head.
Even when he noticed that Zheng Mingquan was returning to the house in the carriage, Hao Xian wanted to get under the carriage and sing: I should be under the carriage......
Zheng Ming entered Zheng Xinwen's room with a straight face, and when he saw Anna, he immediately changed his face and smiled kindly: "Anna, you are here." Eh, the new article is causing you trouble again. ”
"It's okay, Uncle Zheng, I just used him to practice medical skills, and my father said that I was too young and refused to teach me, hmph, I didn't bandage it very well!" Anna crossed her waist and pointed to the crooked snake-like bandage on Zheng Xinwen's body and said proudly.
"That's it......" Zheng Xinwen just opened his mouth to refute, but was glared back by his father's righteous eyes.
Zheng Mingquan turned to Anna and became smiling again: "Anna is so clever at such a young age, she will definitely be very virtuous when she grows up!" ”
Hao Xian pursed his lips bitterly and hatefully.
This is simply looking at the eyes of the daughter-in-law!
The old society of all evils! If only in the 21st century, I would have righteously called the police!
Zheng Mingquan is indeed very satisfied with little Anna, the stupid son doesn't listen to him, but when he is with Anna, although he will be strong in his mouth, he will be very accommodating to Anna in everything. This is excellent, I can't do anything about this bad son, someone has to be able to manage him, otherwise it won't be overturned?
The Zheng family has long had no idea of being unwilling to accept foreign bloodlines, and the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty are uncertain, and from the perspective of the future fate of the whole clan, it is not a bad thing to marry the Rakshasa people.
Seeing Anna's happy face after being praised, Zheng Mingquan turned his head to look at his son, put his face on his face again, and said coldly: "You prepare, after you recover from your injuries, you will go to Prince Gong's Mansion to learn to cook, don't embarrass me when the time comes." ”
Hao Xian was sure once again that this son was definitely biological.
Zheng Xinwen shook his hand with a big grin: "Dad, I know that you don't let me learn to cook, even if you lock me up in Prince Gong's mansion...... Wait, what did you just say I was going to Prince Gong's Mansion for? ”
Zheng Xinwen got up suddenly, looked at Zheng Mingquan excitedly, and startled the blonde Lori who was still bandaging him on the side.
Because of the sudden wound, he was in pain in several parts of his body, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at his father.
Zheng Mingquan didn't answer, he looked too lazy to look at him, and walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.
"Uncle Zheng said that you should learn to cook, do you want me to help you treat your ears!" Anna huffed.
Zheng Xinwen still had an unbelievable expression on his face, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he shouted loudly outside the door: "Dad, thank you!" I'm not going to embarrass you! I will be the best chef in Beijing! ”
Then, he hugged Anna beside him and said ecstatically, "Great! I can learn to cook! I can finally learn to cook! ”
"Oh, what are you doing stupidly, you stained my clothes!" Anna pushed him away in disgust, and ran out of the room with a red face.
Zheng Xinwen sat on the bed, looked at Anna's departing figure, and smirked:
"Prince Gong's Mansion...... Hey, hey, hey...... Hey, hey, hey...... How good should the chef of Prince Gong's Mansion be? Will it be more powerful than the spoon of Zhi Miaolou? It shouldn't be worse than the Eighth Building, right?
"By the way, Anna has always said that she can't get used to eating a lot of Chinese dishes, and when I am successful in my studies, I will invent a few dishes for her that she loves to eat!
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Hao Xian on the side was blank-eyed, feeling as if he had been brainwashed, and his mind was full of "hey, hey, hey".
He really wanted to use up the one-time soul wear, possess Zheng Mingquan, and come back to serve the family law again.
But for the sake of the pot wrapped meat, he endured.
Isn't it Maomei's childhood sweetheart?
But that's it!
In this way, under the witness of a lemon essence from 150 years later, the days of Zheng Xinwen, a generation of Harbin cuisine masters, sneaking into the old Beijing Eighth Building one by one to steal cooking skills came to an end.
Zheng Xinwen suddenly thought of something and said, "No! I haven't learned how to stir-fry ice cores yet! If you have a chance, you still have to sneak into the back kitchen of Zhimiao Building to have a look! ”
