This temper came really quickly, which made Qin Wuran feel a little inexplicable, but thinking that the eldest young master was a little difficult to serve after all, she didn't pay much attention to it.

After sending Li Man away, Qin Wuran actually thought a lot, after all, if she continued to stay in Yuanxi Town, I am afraid that it would only make Li De and Li Man hold on to her even more, and over time, the business of Li Ji Restaurant would also be greatly affected.

What's more, now she is not alone, but has younger brothers and sisters by her side, and because this small place is really not good for development, in order for her younger brothers and sisters to have a normal living environment, as well as their own development, Qin Wuran still thinks about not staying in Yuanxi Town for a long time.

Thinking of this, it is inevitable to ask Shen Linzhou's opinion, after all, she herself is not a very assertive person, and relying on Shen Linzhou has become a habit for her during this time.

And the most important thing is that there is a half-year contract between them, and during this half a year, Qin Wuran has to be a cook for Shen Linzhou, of course, she has to ask for his opinion on everything.

You can't be empty-handed when you ask about things, Qin Wuran pondered that simply making a lotus cake could be regarded as giving herself some confidence, but even he didn't realize that when dealing with Shen Linzhou at this time, she seemed to be a little more flattering.

The practice of lotus cake is not difficult, Mrs. Li taught her several times when she was still alive, this time she took bean paste and salted egg yolk to make two kinds of fillings, and the color took the juice of seasonal vegetables, one red and one green is very beautiful.

First, I prepared the filling, crushed each into even small portions and put it aside for later use, then dug some lard and filled it into the flour pit, rolled it repeatedly until it was completely mixed, and put the puff pastry in a cool place, and then took the vegetable juice to make another dough.

After waking up the dough, knead the two parts into small pieces, with a colored layer on the outside, and puff pastry dough on the inside, wrap it into a small ball, roll it out and fold it aside, and repeat it several times, and then put the filling in it, which is considered to be half done.

The remaining step is to cut out a "rice" character on the dough, at this time the "lotus" has begun to take shape, although it is not considered to be a budding appearance, but the petals will not come out, then the only remaining step is the last step.

Heat the oil in the pot, put the dough into the spoon, put it in the hot oil and fry it, during which you don't forget to take the chopsticks and connect the place where you cut it before, and the lotus flower will bloom in the oil in a short time.

Pieces of petals from deep to shallow, the middle of the filling is like a small flower core, and then put into the porcelain plate, with a few washed leaves, if there is no oil fragrance, I am afraid that it will really make people think that it is the lotus shell in full bloom before fasting down, presented in the plate, for people to enjoy.

After making the lotus cake and brewing the greasy tea, Qin Wuran let out a long sigh of relief, and finally went out of the kitchen to Shen Linzhou's side.

Because in the end, he still has to manage the business of Li Ji Restaurant, Shen Linzhou must have been busy these days, and when Qin Wuran arrived, he was still holding the account book to look at it carefully, but the frowning appearance of his eyebrows made Qin Wuran only feel a sigh in his heart, and subconsciously took a step back.

Ah Jin looked at her beside him and was still a little inexplicable, patted her shoulder, and asked in a low voice that didn't disturb Shen Linzhou, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Wuran was still a little apprehensive in her heart, "It doesn't seem like the time for me to come." ”

"Why isn't it time?" Ah Jin is used to seeing the cold face of his young master, and he doesn't know how he is obviously a cheerful person on weekdays, but he always looks scared to death when he encounters serious things.

But after getting along for so many years, I have seen the wrong habits, so when Qin Wuran said this, Ah Jin didn't react for a while.

It's just that after looking at Qin Manran's appearance again, he also came back to his senses, waved his hand and said to her: "My young master is often this virtuous, you don't have to worry about him, and if you go in, he won't put on any face for you." ”

Qin Wuran was still a little skeptical when she heard this, but she still walked in under Ah Jin's encouraging gaze.

However, the facts did not match what he said, because when she passed, Shen Linzhou simply had a cold face and glanced at her slightly, which made you look down and not look at her.

"Didn't you say he wouldn't put on a face for me? Look at his face, also called not showing people's face? Qin Wuran asked him through gritted teeth.

Ah Jin could only scratch his head, and he didn't know what kind of illness his young master was guilty of.

"I'm just here to deliver something, and since it's already delivered, I'm going out." As she spoke, Qin Wuran put the tray in her hand into Ah Jin's hand, and turned around to leave.

"Come back." Shen Linzhou only said this, which made her almost run away get stuck in place again.

"Ah Jin go out and give her something."

Hearing this, Ah Jin was also powerless, so he could only stuff the tray back into her hand, and then retreated.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to close the door, which was completely cut off from Qin Wuran's desire to go out.

"What's the matter here?" Shen Linzhou asked.

Where did Qin Wuran dare to ask him so much? At this time, I just wanted to run away, so I picked up the lotus cake and put it on the table not far from him, and then said: "I'm really here to deliver something, the lotus cake that was fried today." There are a few in the kitchen, and I have to send them to them. ”

This sentence is naturally a word, after all, when the two of them were just fried, Qin Wuran sent them over, and what she was looking for at this time was just an excuse.

However, Shen Linzhou raised her eyelids at this time, so the embarrassment in her eyes completely betrayed her, making her look a little evasive.

Reading people's faces has never been a virtue that the Shen family lacks, and at this time, Shen Linzhou naturally knew that Qin Wuran was simply looking for a reason. But she knew that her face was a little ugly, so she could only try to ease it down.

"If you have anything to say, come in and say it, and if you don't say it today, don't bring it up again."

The words had already reached this point, and Qin Wuran had to say what she thought in her heart, so she could only come over, and she didn't talk about her future plans, but first asked Shen Linzhou why she was angry with herself today.

"There is a half-year agreement between you and me, even if I work for you now, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can explain it to me, otherwise the two of us will be pestled here, and we will not be able to solve anything."

Shen Linzhou sighed softly when he heard this, and he was relieved that she asked about him.

"Before I tell you why, I have to mention that I have never put you in a position lower than I have, and you don't have to be so careful. As for why I'm angry today, since you asked, give me an answer. You have to think about it. ”

Qin Wuran really didn't know what he meant, but after thinking about it carefully, what he would ask must be related to himself, so he simply nodded and responded.

But then Shen Linzhou said something he didn't understand.

"Your two uncles are like this to you, why do you want to let them go?"

This is something that Shen Linzhou can't understand, because when he was in the Shen family, there was an uncle at the top, and there were two uncles and an aunt at the bottom, and this was only one branch of the Shen family. The rest of the concubines have more than 100 people, half of whom live in the mansion, and the most he has experienced since he was a child is intrigue, and those so-called family affection are really cold, so cold that he has never felt much warmth in front of his father.

And the person who really gave him warmth died in that open shot and hidden arrow. A small business blocked a human life, but the murderer bluntly said that it was an unintentional mistake and did not suffer much.

So he never understood what it meant to repay grievances with virtue, and in his opinion, what could he do even if he was a relative? If the other party doesn't take you in their eyes, why do you keep being polite? In the end, she ended up with the same fate as her mother, and Shen Linzhou really couldn't stand it.

However, he didn't hide the dissatisfaction in his heart, and Qin Wuran was able to understand what he meant, and the magnet looked at him a little strangely, and after a long time, he said: "I didn't let him go, but I just felt that I didn't have to do too much." ”

Shen Linzhou snorted coldly, obviously still not very satisfied with this.

"You don't think you have to go too far, but what do they do to you? I've inquired about your injuries before, it was your uncle who did it to you, and you still think they deserve sympathy? ”

"I don't sympathize with them, and they can't make me sympathize." Qin Wuran lowered her gaze slightly, although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she also knew that Shen Linzhou asked this for her own good.

"If it's the kind of people who are less human, naturally you don't have to put up with it to such an extent, but although I hate them, my grandfather feels indebted to them all his life, so I can't push them too hard. What's more, now that I have lost my grandfather's biggest backer, how can I not let them go? Report to the officer? Or do you want to denigrate them everywhere? Not to mention that the former will not be cared for at all, and the latter is something that I think I have done very excessively, and I really can't be aggressive. ”

Shen Linzhou actually probably understood what she meant, but he still asked, "What if I can help you?" Help you get them to prison so they can't come to you again. ”

"Where is that?" Qin Wuran hurriedly waved her hand, and then saw that the expression of the person opposite changed slightly, and she secretly said trouble in her heart, but she could only explain her meaning to him.

"When my grandfather was young, he left such a big family to take care of his grandmother for his own pursuit, and their life was very difficult before, so after my grandfather came back, I felt that I owed a lot to the children, which is why I spoiled my two uncles to such an extent."

"No matter how bad they are to me, they are still the most distressed person for my grandfather, if I really hurt them to that extent, not to mention that I can't go in my own heart, I am afraid that my grandfather will know about it, and it will be very uncomfortable."

"But I don't think your grandfather is an unreasonable person, and I'm sure that even if you did, he would never blame you." Shen Linzhou said.

Qin Wuran just smiled, with a little helplessness.

"Of course I know he won't blame me, in fact, if his uncles or cousins at home bullied me when he was alive, he would definitely stand up for me, but he has just left, and I don't know what the situation is over there, so I want him to worry less. It's better to let him know that everyone is okay and not to make him worry too much. ”

Hearing this, Shen Linzhou fell silent.

He remembered what his mother had said to him on her deathbed.
