Chapter 1 Hot Pot and Escape
The thick soup "Gollum" and "Gollum" are bubbling in the big iron pot on the stove, a whole piece of lamb hind leg meat is placed on the vegetable table, the vegetables on the ground are still stained with muddy water, and Mu Bangxiang sits in the corner of the kitchen in a daze.
"Xiang Niang, is the hot pot ready?" Outside the door, there was a woman's honey-stained voice, slightly hoarse after drunkenness.
Mu Bangxiang looked at it, under the sun, the weak and boneless body leaned on the door frame, a palm-sized face, no fat powder, no matter how many times she looked at it, she couldn't connect the person in front of her with Liu Xin'er, the top brand of Cuihua Courtyard at night.
Sure enough, no matter ancient or modern, women's makeup is the most magical existence.
"Just a while."
Mu Bangxiang rolled up her sleeves and was about to pick leeks when Liu Xin'er suddenly lowered her voice: "I heard that Master Zhou wants to accept you as a concubine, and he can give you a grandfather according to his age, if you really marry her, I will really wronged you." ”
"Master Zhou is a well-known good man in Wudong Mansion, his family is rich and powerful, if he can really be a concubine, it will be a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes." Mu Bangxiang has big wet eyes, which always gives people a simple and innocent illusion, she carefully selects the yellow leaves in the leeks, and seems to be quite satisfied with this marriage.
Liu Xin'er secretly slandered herself, the little girl pretended to be tall on weekdays, but in the end she didn't show her fox tail, and Fang's mother was also worried about it, and she was afraid that she would make a moth.
"Also, it is a great blessing for us people to be good, where is there any reason to pick people." She glanced at the smoky stove, "Hurry up, I'm hungry." ”
Mu Bangxiang responded obediently, and Liu Xin'er left the kitchen satisfied, turned around and went straight to Fang's mother's house.
Looking at her back, Mu Bangxiang was thoughtful, the acting skills of the ancients were a little worse, Liu Xin'er's careful thinking was all written on her face, and she saw through it at a glance, except for one person, the unscrupulous father of the original owner.
This is a long story, starting from Mu Bangxiang's previous life, she has no father and no mother, and grew up in an orphanage.
Because of his excellent cooking skills, he quickly made a name for himself in the chef world and opened a creative restaurant.
On the first day of opening, the ceiling of the kitchen collapsed, and it happened to kill Mu Bangxiang, who was cooking, which may be happy and sad!
For some reason, Mu Bangxiang did not die, but also traveled to a two-year-old girl in ancient times, and she depended on the original owner, Mu Sanwei.
Because Mu Sanwei really has no talent for cooking, Mu Bangxiang completely took over the stove at the age of four, she stepped on a small stool to fry vegetables, Mu Sanwei burned the fire, although the life was poor, but also happy.
Until she was seven years old, Mu Sanwei went to Cuihuayuan to find a girl and didn't give money, Fang Cuihua took a thug to the door to ask for money, and the stumbled discovery of Mu Bangxiang's cooking skills was excellent, and immediately proposed to let her go to Cuihuayuan to be a cook to pay off her debts.
Mu Sanwei agreed, and coaxed Mu Bangxiang that the diners there were the most picky, if they could praise her, her cooking skills would be considered a small success.
Mu Bangxiang is also stupid, I really believe it, she worked hard in Cuihuayuan for a year, but it turned out that there were only girls and wine in the eyes of prostitutes, so she returned to Shenmu Sanwei is to deceive her, but unfortunately it was too late.
In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed, Mu Bangxiang has gradually grown into a slim girl, in order to prevent the bustard from letting her pick up guests, she basks in the sun all day long, eats desperately, and does not breathe a sigh of relief until the whole person looks dark and strong.
People are not as good as the sky, this winter Mu Bangxiang had a serious illness, people lost a lot of weight, and even their complexion turned white, and they were targeted by Zhou Cai's old color batch at the beginning of spring.
Mu Bangxiang secretly checked the guards of Cuihuayuan, the front yard is the place to pick up guests, there are four tall thugs on weekdays, the backyard is where the girls live, and there are four at the back door, unless you put on your wings to escape.
Fortunately, Zhou Cai will have a while to go to Yangzhou to do business, and she can still think of ideas.
……
The best thing about February is a steaming hot pot, where the girls of Cuihualou sit around in front of the copper stove hot pot and throw their favorite ingredients into the thick soup of local chicken racks and pork bones.
"Xiang Niang, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." The old bustard Fang Cuihua is about forty years old, with a purple brocade dress, black and thick hair, a melon seed face, and a little fat powder, which is different from the red and green bustard in Mu Bangxiang's cognition, Fang Cuihua is definitely a woman with charm.
It is rumored that Fang Cuihua used to be the head of a certain green building in the capital, and when she was old, she returned to Wudong Mansion to open this green building named after her.
Mu Bangxiang smiled, with the shyness unique to the little girl after being praised, like a sweet and sour cherry, it was very lovely to look at.
With this smile, two shallow pear vortices appeared at the corners of his mouth, his cheeks were slightly red, and his smooth skin was as warm as mutton fat jade.
Lost, Fang Cuihua regretted not at the beginning, Zhou Cai took a thousand taels to redeem Mu Bang Xiang, she thought he was old and his eyes were spent, but now it seems that she is blind, so many years, she didn't find the best Mu Bang Xiang.
Mu Bang Xiang sandwiched a few pieces of mutton, put it into the thick soup with a copper colander and blanched, dip a little salt, and then put it in the mouth, it was delicious and smooth, without any smell.
The black goats of Wudong Mansion are raised on the mountain, eat Chinese herbs, drink mountain spring water, where is the mutton not delicious, plus the wood is still a little lamb, and the meat is even more tender.
Compared to modern contaminated ingredients, ancient ingredients are natural and delicious, which may be the only benefit of crossing!
"I smell it from afar." Before he could say anything, a young man walked in, wearing a plain gray robe, loosely covering his body, with a piece of yellow paper pinned to his belt, and sat down next to Liu Xin'er.
He was born with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose, thin lips that were more beautiful than lychees, and a wicked smile, which was a little more prodigal than the girls in Cuihualou.
Liu Xin'er raised her pink fist high and gently smashed it on his chest: "Li Yan, why didn't you come back yesterday?" ”
"Don't mention it, an old ghost came to Sanfu Gambling House, with a very powerful little ghost, and a few of our brothers fought with the little ghost all night and lost a lot of money." Li Yan took her chopsticks and sandwiched a thick pile of mutton slices, put them in a copper pot to boil, and when it was almost over, she took out the full chili sauce and threw it into her mouth, her cheeks bulging.
Mu Bangxiang frowned when she saw it, the most important thing she could be on weekdays was this Li Yan, he was a little gangster with a beautiful face who came to cheat and eat and drink every day.
She really didn't see the girls around her, so she left the table by going to the kitchen to get beef balls, and just a few steps away from the table, she saw a yellowed and worn paper on the ground.
Mu Bangxiang looked at the belt of Li Yan's trousers just now, and handed it to him, Liu Xin'er snatched it halfway, glanced at it a few times and scolded: "I'm going to die, why did you uncover the notice?" ”
Li Yan puffed out his cheeks and replied vaguely: "Wanted...... Five hundred taels ......"
Hearing five hundred taels, Liu Xin'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly looked at the notice again: "The government offers a reward of five hundred taels to arrest the ...... who wants to commit the crime."
"That's enough, it's the official's business to catch the bandits, you guys have a meal quickly, and the guests will come to the door later." Fang Cuihua frowned slightly, obviously unhappy, Liu Xin'er hurriedly put down the notice and ate obediently.
Problematic!
Mu Bangxiang glanced at the "pig" who was eating wildly, and it seemed that she could only look for him.
