168, cousins

Cui's love for this lost niece is undoubtedly loved, although Liu Jiaojiao repeatedly said that there is no need to expand the house, but the anxious Cui family still called the craftsman on the second day, and without disturbing Liu Jiaojiao's normal life, the work started vigorously.

In order to facilitate his daughter's family to enjoy the flowers, the owner of the family also specially planted a peach forest and plum forest next to the yard.

But now, in order to expand a few rooms to facilitate Liu Jiaojiao's storage, after learning that she was not interested in enjoying flowers, the head of the family directly waved his hand to demolish the peach forest and plum forest, and the land was used for expansion.

It is said that "the daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled", and when Xie Linlang returns home after leaving, I don't know if I will be depressed that my status will be replaced by my daughter, or I will be glad that my daughter is favored by the whole family.

The existence of Niu Haoran and others Liu Jiaojiao did not hide the Xie family, but she also did not plan to let them attach themselves to the Xie family, and she had already paid for the matter of opening a Qingxin Fang in the capital.

When they knew that their baby granddaughter turned out to be a master cook, the Xie family was undoubtedly amazed, and then deeply pity.

In this era, the chef has no status, even the imperial chef in the palace, to put it bluntly, is just a slightly more advanced worker, in the eyes of the nobles of the family, and even ordinary people, it is not a profession worthy of respect.

Shinong industry and commerce, even if the cook is in the "work", the status is only a little higher than that of the businessman, and the businessman is no longer treated and people are rich, and the cook who has to work for others all his life is not as good as them.

Each era has the characteristics of each era, although Liu Jiaojiao is from the modern era, it is impossible to change everything on her own, so in the face of the pity of the Xie family, she only chose to smile and say nothing, and then cooked a large table of dishes herself, successfully raising the aesthetics of the Xie family in food and drink.

Because Qingxinfang was still in the preparatory stage, Liu Jiaojiao only gave them enough money in order to exercise the ability of Niu Haoran and others, and asked the Xie family to come forward to help one or two, so she didn't make any further efforts, just waiting to see how many points they would hand over to themselves at that time.

In fact, she could have taken out the jade pendant that the third prince left her that day, and with his ability, she could handle everything casually, but considering Liu Jun's life experience and various problems, she decided not to have anything to do with that prince for the time being.

Thinking of Liu Jun, Liu Jiaojiao was slightly lost for a moment.

It's been several months, since the call was made by the Thousands of Miles Transmission Note, the little brother has never had any news, although Xie Ping'an has sent people to the neighboring countries to investigate, but no news has come back, if it weren't for the system's categorical affirmation that his life is not in danger, she would want to go to the neighboring country in person.

Red Sleeves walked in with a chilled mung bean soup, and saw Liu Jiaojiao sitting there in a daze with her eyebrows locked, guessing that she must be missing her brother, and said with a smile: "Miss, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the slave knows that you are afraid of heat, so she specially asked the kitchen to make chilled mung bean soup, and according to the method you said, the skin of the mung beans was removed, and it was boiled into sand, how do you taste it?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao slowly loosened her brows, took a sip of mung bean soup, showed a satisfied smile, and nodded: "Yes, you tell the cook that you can also add some tangerine peel to boil together to make tangerine peel mung bean paste, which is best used to clear the fire in summer." ”

Red Sleeves said happily: "The slave knows that in terms of eating, no one can compare to you, Miss, and an ordinary mung bean soup can be made into flowers by you." The slave and maid went to tell the cook in a moment that he would die of joy! ”

Although the Xie family was impressed by Liu Jiaojiao's cooking skills, they were reluctant to let her cook by herself every day, so they ordered the cook to learn from her. At first, the cook didn't go to his heart at all, he just thought that the rich man had nothing to do at home, but after being instructed by Liu Jiaojiao a few times, the cook was simply shocked, if he hadn't worshiped the master and couldn't betray the master, he couldn't wait to kneel down on the spot and beg Liu Jiaojiao to accept her as an apprentice.

As mentioned above, ancient craftsmen especially like to cherish this set of brooms, and always feel that if they teach their apprentices, they will starve to death to the master, so in addition to their own disciples or children, outsiders are not taught, and some people who admit death even prefer to take one thing into the ground, and resolutely do not teach it to outsiders, so for thousands of years, there are not more and more things that have been handed down, but many things have been faulted, which is the reason.

So Liu Jiaojiao's teaching and classless approach moved the cook very much, even if she didn't say anything else, he also consciously made a poisonous oath and swore never to spread it.

Liu Jiaojiao is actually quite like carrying forward the food she can make, if possible, she also wants to set up an ancient New Oriental, but considering how much resistance she will encounter, she can only secretly think about it in her heart.

Just kidding, the cooking skills of this era are passed down from generation to generation, if she opens a cooking school and accidentally teaches other people's family heirlooms, people will have to hang herself at the door of her house.

Even if someone as enlightened as her master, Lao Li Tou, might not agree to her doing so.

A person can't fight against an era, unless she wants to learn from Wu Zetian, sit on the world and then change the world.

Forget it, girl, she doesn't have that much ambition, and she doesn't have that ability, so Gong Dou's brain-burning and life-burning thing is still left to future generations!

As Red Sleeves expected, when she repeated Liu Jiaojiao's words to the cook, the sturdy man almost cried, and asked Red Sleeves to convey his respect and gratitude to Liu Jiaojiao, and then went back to the kitchen to study.

When the red sleeves come back to life, Agarwood is doing a shoulder and neck massage for Liu Jiaojiao, who is deeply troubled by the shoulder and neck in modern times, is determined to treat her body well, massage and massage if she has nothing to do, exercise, and never let her shoulder and neck have problems anymore.

After listening to Red Sleeves' description of the cook, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile, and said: "His skills are still good, but he doesn't know how to use his brain, you must know that a good chef must not only make good dishes, but also be able to develop new dishes, so that he can go further in cooking." ”

Agarwood patted his ass and said, "Miss, not everyone who is a cook can be as smart as you." It's a pity that you are the daughter of a family after all, and you can't be a cook for the rest of your life, otherwise you will definitely become the world's first celebrity chef! ”

"Who said that the daughter of a family can't be a cook? The name of the world's first is too big for me to afford, but it is still possible to be the first in the capital. Liu Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and said.

The two maids were shocked, weren't they? Miss Xie Jiabiao, the daughter of the household book, really wants to be a cook?

Liu Jiaojiao didn't bother to explain to them that these two girls had been brainwashed by feudal society, and there was no way to tell them anything about the equality of men and women, and that women should be self-reliant and self-reliant to earn money on their own, so as not to scare them to death.

Anyway, she never planned to be a daughter like everyone else, Qingxinfang is just the first step, and the ultimate goal is to dominate the entire food industry.

On the second day, Cui's came to Liu Jiaojiao's yard early in the morning.

Liu Jiaojiao had just gotten up and was being served by the red sleeves to wash, when she saw Cui's sudden arrival, she hurriedly asked suspiciously, "Auntie, is there something wrong with coming here so early?" ”

It stands to reason that Liu Jiaojiao is just the cousin of the Xie family, the Xie family is her uncle, and the Cui family is also the eldest uncle, but Mrs. Xie and the old lady spoke directly, anyway, Xie Linlang will come back sooner or later, and this granddaughter will never be returned to the Xu family, so the Xie family is not the grandfather's family, but the family, so the title should be changed.

As for why the second elder of the Xie family is still called "grandmother" and "grandfather", it is purely because they are too excited to forget to correct it, and Liu Jiaojiao did not react, after all, the family affection in her previous life was weak, and now she suddenly has a lot of relatives, and she is still slowly adapting.

When Cui Shi waited for her to sit in front of the dresser after washing, he waved his hand to let Red Sleeves stand aside, took the comb from her hand, and personally combed Liu Jiaojiao's hair and pulled her hair.

"Her delicate hair is so good, black and shiny, like the satin sold in the store." Cui Shi praised while combing his hair.

Liu Jiaojiao was a little flattered, but her hair was already in her hand, and it was inconvenient to struggle, so she asked, "Auntie, what made you come to me so early in the morning?" He also combed my hair himself. ”

Cui Shi lowered his head, winked at her, and deliberately said: "There is something particularly important today, but I can't tell you now, first put you in a beautiful bun, and then change into a beautiful dress, and when you have breakfast with your grandmother, you will know." ”

This is to comb her hair in person, and to let her change into beautiful clothes, why don't you take her on a blind date?

Oh my God, her body is not yet thirteen, okay? Do you want to be so cruel? Besides, doesn't she have a legendary fiancΓ©?

Cui's is really tight-lipped, no matter how Liu Jiaojiao is coquettish and knocks on the side, he doesn't want to say a word.

In desperation, Liu Jiaojiao could only let her comb herself into a slanted bun, with the same set of aquamarine head and earrings, changed into a newly made light blue dress, and followed Cui to the old lady's yard.

As soon as she entered the door, the old lady raised her hand to let her pass, and inevitably called the "heart baby" or something, but fortunately, the big guy was used to it, and there were many men and few women in the family, and there was only this one girl among the juniors, so no one expressed jealousy and dissatisfaction. Otherwise, the elders were sitting there, and a few cousins would have rushed up and called "baby sister" along with them.

Today is not a big day, and it is not a birthday for anyone, but the people who came were surprisingly neat, except for the head of the family and the second master who went to the last dynasty, everyone else came.

Although the old lady's room is not small, there are more than a dozen people crammed into it, and the maids standing next to it are still a little crowded.

After breakfast, the old lady took a sip of the teacup, glanced at the old lady, looked at Liu Jiaojiao, and said kindly: "Jiaojiao, how are you doing these days?" Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with? Tell your grandfather, I'll ask your aunt to do it at once. ”

The old lady finally knew to change her name, Cui's as the current housewife, always because Liu Jiaojiao was repeatedly dissed, but there was no dissatisfaction on her face, and this mentality was also stable.

Liu Jiaojiao hurriedly shook her head and said: "I'm doing well, I live very comfortably, my aunt is already very caring, and I don't need her to be busy anymore." ”

The old lady nodded and said, "That's good, the restaurant you want to get has been found, I heard from the housekeeper that the few people you brought are very good, although they are not very old, they are very steady." Ping'an's letter mentioned that they were all taught by you, and they are indeed worthy of being the daughter of my Xie family, and she is much better than your mother in terms of knowing and employing people. ”

Why did the topic suddenly jump to her silly white sweet mother? As a woman, Liu Jiaojiao is not easy to reply, so she can only smile back.

Hearing that her daughter was mentioned, the old lady's expression changed, tears appeared in her eyes, and she sighed: "My hard life! ”

As soon as the old lady was sad, the juniors were all panicked, and they were busy comforting each other, and they didn't forget to cast a condemning look at the old lady.

Knowing that Xie Linlang is a thorn in the old lady's heart, Jiaojiao finally came back to make the old lady a little happier, why are you going to pick thorns when you have nothing to do? The first rule of the Xie family is to love his wife? You're ready to break the law, aren't you?

The old lady was also a little sneering, he just said that he was smooth, where did he think of so much?

Liu Jiaojiao was also a little helpless, and after casting a reassuring look at the old lady, she walked to the old lady's side, and while stroking her back, she deliberately diverted the topic and said, "Grandmother, I want to sue." ”

Hearing that the baby granddaughter was going to sue, the first thought was that she had been wronged, and the old lady's tears were suppressed, and her sad expression was gone, replaced by a murderous face, and said angrily: "Who is it?" Who bullied my Jiaojiao? Tell your grandmother, and she told your cousins to beat him up! ”

When several cousins heard that they were mentioned, they also had a murderous face, and they had the posture that Liu Jiaojiao would form a team to fight as soon as she said her name.

The corners of Liu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched, and she couldn't laugh or cry, but she still endured it and pouted deliberately: "My aunt bullied me, came to my yard early in the morning, combed my hair herself, and forced me to change into new clothes, saying that there was something very important today, but she refused to reveal the inside story to me, grandmother, you have to make the decision for me!" ”

Cui Shi immediately mentioned her heart when she heard that it was a complaint against her, thinking that she had really done something, but when she heard it, she was simply ridiculous, and her eyes were full of helplessness when she looked at Liu Jiaojiao.

The cousins who were all about to fight with the guys were speechless, especially the Cui family's parent, Xie Pingjing, who also muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, Jiaojiao is just funny, otherwise wouldn't I have to kill my relatives with righteousness?" ”

When Cui Shi heard this, he stepped forward and scolded: "You rabbit cub!" ”
