Chapter 194: Confession
Chen Jingting sat up straight suddenly, "Serious business? I came back and ate so much that I almost forgot about business. ”
Duran and Xu Hening looked at him suspiciously: "What is the matter with you?" ”
"It's not me, it's Brother Xue. To be precise, Brother Xue wants to recognize Duran as his righteous sister, and this matter was told by Brother Xue in his letter. ”
"Sister-in-law?" The Zhao family lowered his head and pondered, from Gu You'an's side, these friends with extraordinary instruments came to them, and the Zhao family suspected that Gu Youan's life experience was definitely not simple.
Now, Chen Jingting suddenly proposed that Xue Yan said in the letter that he must recognize Du Lan, the righteous sister, indicating that he wants to give Du Lan a noble identity.
Chen Jingting is already the son of a general, Xue Yan's life experience is definitely not ordinary, and Gu Youan's life experience is even more noble and extraordinary.
Xu Hening was also confused, what was Xue Yan's purpose in doing this?
Du Lan already knew Gu You'an's identity, and knew that Chen Jingting, the son of the general, was jealous in front of Xue Yan, so it can be seen that Xue Yan's background is not inferior to that of the general's son.
Could it be that Gu Youan is about to return to his roots? That's why he wants to give his commoner wife the status of a nobleman. Is he so superficial? Or is he still at the mercy of others even if he returns to his home?
Chen Jingting didn't care what others thought, but he was excited, and stood up excitedly: "Duran, after you worship Brother Xue as your righteous brother, we will become brothers and sisters, and then I can justifiably eat this meal from my sister every day, haha." ”
Duran shook his head and smiled, this kid was still thinking about eating.
"Duran, from today onwards, you are Brother Xue's sister-in-law, we must hold a formal banquet, just tomorrow." Chen Jingting nodded for Du Lan on his own.
Duran looked at him funny: "Brother Xue himself is not here, how can I worship him as a righteous brother?" ”
Chen Jingting waved his hand indifferently: "These are all false, they are all going through the motions, as long as he says a word, you are his sister." Setting up a wine banquet is just a form of public announcement, so as long as the world knows that you are Xue Gongzi's sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if Brother Xue himself is not there. ”
Everyone present was surprised, and this way of worshipping brothers and sisters? Is it okay if the person is not there?
Duran looked at Old Man Gu uncertainly, only to see Old Man Gu nodding his head with a smile in agreement.
Old man Gu has been by the side of Prince Shuo for many years, and he knows that the royal people are very interested in his background and status, so Du Lan became the righteous daughter of Prime Minister Xue and married the prince of You'an, and the people in the court are understandable.
The old man agreed, and Duran had nothing to fear, "Okay, let's set up another table tomorrow and have a good banquet for the villagers." ”
Everyone present laughed heartily when they heard this, only Zhao was absent-minded, she didn't know where to get the hibiscus carved jade pendant that proved Duran's background, and she didn't know Gu Youan's true life experience, if she really used it, she would definitely find her wife in person and take Duran's identity.
Zhao folded the dishes and chopsticks and went to the room to clean, Du Lan helped clean up the dishes, and when he arrived at the room, Zhao lowered his voice and asked Du Lan nervously: "Lan Lan, do you really want to be Xue Gongzi's sister-in-law?" So what is the identity of Xue Gongzi? ”
Duran shook his head in confusion: "I don't know, I just know that he is very good to You'an." ”
Zhao didn't believe it: "Are you still hiding it from your mother?" ”
"No, I really don't know what Brother Xue's identity is, but I guess the status should not be low. Mother, is there anything wrong? ”
"No, my mother is just curious." Zhao smiled weakly, and hurriedly urged Du Lan: "You go out to accompany the guests, just clean up the dishes." ”
"Then I'm going to bother my mother." Duran smiled and walked out of the room and returned to the hall, where she still had nothing to say.
Du Lan entered the room, and his eyes swept over Chen Jingting and Xu Hening faintly: "Now it's time for me to get down to business." ”
"Say, I can't wait to hear what Duran has to say." Chen Jingting was excited again.
Duran glanced apologetically at Xu Hening before slowly talking about her renting a window in Wuwei Zhai.
Sure enough, Xu Hening showed a surprised expression, his lips moved, and finally he didn't say anything, if it wasn't for his father's desire to take back his Shilixiang Restaurant, Du Lan would not have been able to find another way out.
Chen Jingting was also quite surprised: "Duran, what are you renting windows for?" If you want to open a restaurant, I will give you money to open it, don't wronged yourself, what can you sell in such a big place. ”
Du Lan smiled disappreliantly: "What do you know, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, I am already in a hurry to open a small delicatessen, and then open a big restaurant, can't I hire a guy to cook?" The guy is easy to find, just give me any money, but the cook has to be brought out by me myself. A chef has a cooking style, some people like to put salt, some people like to put sugar, and the amount is also controlled by themselves, so won't my restaurant become a hodgepodge? ”
Chen Jingting was choked up and couldn't say a word, he didn't know anything about opening a restaurant, but he definitely supported Duran.
"Duran, you don't have enough manpower, just tell me, I will definitely try my best to help." Chen Jingting patted his chest righteously.
Hearing this, Duran smiled and said, "This is what you said, a gentleman is hard to chase, don't regret it!" ”
For some reason, looking at the treacherous glint in Du Lan's eyes, Chen Jingting suddenly felt that he was being calculated.
Xu Hening was on the side, and he pondered for a while before he spoke: "I also support you, as long as you can use it, you can speak up." ”
Duran nodded excitedly, "Thank you, as long as my shop is on the right track, I can be busy alone." ”
"Well, by the way, why don't you see Du Liang and Uncle Du today?" Xu Hening asked curiously, Aunt Zhao has been here to help.
"My father and my brother went to the village to collect ducks."
"Ducks?"
Chen Jingting and Xu Hening couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, it seemed that Duran had already started to prepare for the delicatessen.
After finishing the business, Chen Jingting took Xu Hening to Xue Yan's courtyard in the village to rest first, and rushed back from Shengjing.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Jingting and Xu Hening rushed to help early in the morning, and Aunt Zhang and Aunt Du also came early, so they couldn't ask Zhao and Du Lan to be busy.
Most of the residents in the village came, only a few did not come, Du Lan noticed in his heart, only Uncle Gen's family, and those close to Xu Cui'e's family did not come, Xu Cui'e's family was building a house, and those people thought that they couldn't lose the opportunity to make money for a meal.
Even Li San, who was close to Xu Cui'e before, and the fat aunt came.
The reason why it was so grand was also what Xue Yan meant, the villagers were able to come, all because they gave Du Lan enough face, Du Lan didn't think about it, he just thought about it.
While helping Duran cut vegetables, Aunt Zhang felt sorry for Duran: "Duran, you just want to invite the villagers to eat, why do you have all the pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese?" ”
In the eyes of the villagers, these dishes are hard dishes, and they can't be eaten in their mouths all year round.
Duran stirred the marinated minced meat with seasonings, kneaded it into a ball, made it into meatballs, and fried it in the oil pan while saying: "Aunt Zhang, you think about me, I am grateful, but the villagers have only eaten here a few times?" Of course, I'm going to take care of the housekeeping skills and entertain everyone. ”
Duran doesn't say anything else, cooking is a masterpiece, she won't smash her reputation.
Aunt Zhang understands Duran, and she is a fair and upright person, since she invites guests to dinner, she will never fall into the hands of others.
Zhao also echoed: "My Lanlan just doesn't want to treat the villagers badly. ”
Aunt Du also smiled and quipped: "Lan Lan is generous, no wonder you have prestige in the village, if you say a word, the villagers will come to help you, and you will respond to every call, and you have the demeanor of a female general." In the future, all the ladies should learn from you. ”
"Auntie, how can I hear the meaning of being reluctant to let the child trap the wolf?" Duran giggled.
"No, the eldest lady really praises you."
As he spoke, Duran had already fished out the meatballs, and the whole room was full of meat, and the smell was mouth-watering.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Duran, not only your aunt praises you, but Aunt Zhang also thinks you are very capable." ”
Zhao Shi smiled from ear to ear: "Don't praise her, otherwise she won't know which leg to take when she walks proudly." ”
Duran looked at her mother funny, does this mean that she is floating?
"Okay, don't make fun of me, look at the dishes I cooked, and keep your belly broken when you eat it!"
Everyone took a look at the board, and it was really full of color, flavor, and flavor.
Shredded fish-flavored pork, Mao Xuewang, Kung Pao chicken, roasted pork ribs with potatoes, boiled cabbage, shredded beef, mapo tofu, ants on the tree, tamales, braised duck, shredded chicken, minced eggplant, braised chicken wings, peppercorn fish fillet......
These dishes are full of portions.
"Mother, aunt, Aunt Zhang, you help me bring it out together." Duran picked up two dishes and walked out, and the rest of the people were not idle, and they brought out the fragrant meals one after another.
The villagers looked at the table full of good dishes, and they all stared at each other, unconsciously opened their mouths, and let the saliva flow down......
