Qin Huaijin has been a little depressed in recent days, always spending time in the midst of gains and losses, for a while he feels that he is gentle and handsome, and for a while he feels that he can't carry the grains without trying, and in the midst of self-motivation and self-doubt, people have also become a little neurotic.

Shen Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to Qin Huaijin's changes at first, just because of the ups and downs that Qin Huaijin experienced in her growth stage, she experienced a lot of things earlier, Qin Huaijin grew up and couldn't be blown in the rain or wind, and her growth was definitely later than that of a poor person's child.

"It's time to eat, don't be in a daze, I won't see you practicing calligraphy this afternoon." Shen Xiaoyu said: "The business can't be delayed. ”

Qin Huaijin sighed, afraid that he was really a little hypocritical.

When I went to the kitchen for dinner, I learned that the eldest brother of the scholar was not at home, and after inquiring with Yu Ping, I learned that August 15 was coming, and he was going back to his hometown to visit relatives, Shen Xiaoyu counted the days, there were still 20 days until August 15, so what did they eat in these 20 days?

"I don't know how to cook...... Shen Xiaoyu raised his hand first, don't count on him, Qin Huaijin was happy, but she didn't want to eat the things she made, and finally the two of them saw Yu Ping's body.

Yu Ping smiled bitterly: "I'm not very good at ...... either"

Shen Xiaoyu smiled dryly, none of the three of them can cook, and they are not allowed to tie their necks these days?

Although Qin Huaijin wanted to show it, he hadn't been able to show it for the time being, so he finally said, "Why don't you call one from home for some time?" ”

After the three of them discussed, they felt that this was quite reliable.

Shen Xiaoyu went back to run errands and went to find Fu'an first, and Fu'an transferred a master from the back kitchen.

"This is Master Zhou, it's convenient to go to your place." Fu'an said that Master Zhou is a woman, in her forties, and her cooking is fine.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, and then took Master Zhou to the other courtyard.

Qin Huaijin didn't care very much, although Shen Xiaoyu couldn't cook, he still knew the eating habits of several people, and told Master Zhou everything.

"Master Zhou, the teacher doesn't eat very salty, the young master doesn't eat spicy, I eat everything." Shen Xiaoyu instructed.

Master Zhou nodded: "Cheng, it's getting late today, let's make something first and eat it first!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, and then led Master Zhou to the kitchen.

Although Master Zhou is a woman, but the strength is not small, now the general family is used by the South Chef, there are very few cooks, there are women that cut piers and do chores, and women are basically not allowed to do such work as cooking.

"Wow!" Shen Xiaoyu looked at Master Zhou's small thin arm and flipped the spoon, and it was flying up and down, and let out a heartfelt sigh of emotion.

Qin Huaijin was also pleasantly surprised, he never went to his own back kitchen, and he felt that the master was even more powerful than the scholar's eldest brother in cooking this week!

"Awesome, I want to learn!" Qin Huaijin said, his eyes lit up.

Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly waved his hand: "Master Zhou is a person in the house, I'm afraid that my wife will know and say that I abuse you..."

When Qin Huaijin heard the same, he said, "If it doesn't work, let's steal the teacher." ”

"It's okay to steal the teacher, but if you come and stare at it all the time, Master Zhou will also be suspicious, right?" Shen Xiaoyu said, and people are particular about cooking food, this is not easy to learn. The main reason why she cooks is that she doesn't know how to cook, everything she cooks is like boiling pig food...

"That's... Or just tell Master Zhou that you want to learn! Qin Huaijin came up with an idea.

Shen Xiaoyu laughed directly and said, "I'm afraid that Master Zhou can make me angry!" "At the beginning, Cui Fenglan taught her so hand-in-hand, she couldn't even learn a home-cooked meal, let her learn it now, Master Zhou was afraid that he would be able to slap her to death with a frying spoon!

"You just say you learn, and then I'll watch from the side, and when she teaches you, she moves slowly, and I can see it!" Qin Huaijin said, feeling that his move was not bad.

"You think too beautifully, she taught me a dish, if I want to learn the second one, do I have to do the first one well? When the time comes, she will be able to throw me in the pot and fry it together! Shen Xiaoyu said.

Qin Huaijin sighed, this is not good, it is not good, it seems that it is really impossible to learn.

At this time, Master Zhou said: "The young master wants to learn to cook with me?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu was startled, the two of them shouldn't be talking loudly, right? How did Master Zhou listen to this!

Master Zhou wiped his sweat and said, "Learn to cook, I won't tell Madame!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu looked at Master Zhou with a simple face, although his skin was dark, he was very healthy, and his eyes were round when he smiled.

Qin Huaijin asked, "Don't you really tell me?" ”

"Don't tell!" Master Zhou said: "The master in my hometown passed on my cooking skills, because I am a woman, everyone does not accept me to cook, and the Qin family accepts me, I also want to find a disciple to pass on this skill so that the master will teach me a time!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu was very happy to hear it, Master Zhou is not like a foolish person, since he said it or not, he definitely won't tell it.

Master Zhou looked at Qin Huaijin and said with a smile: "If the young master wants to learn to cook, I'm afraid that the strength in this hand is not enough!" ”

When Qin Huaijin heard this, he quickly raised his arm and said, "It's strong!" ”

Master Zhou smiled and said, "I see that there is an old pot, you practice the spoon first!" "It's not something that can be done well with energy, but it takes skill.

As soon as Qin Huaijin heard this, he went to get the old pot, and Shen Xiaoyu went to find some sparse stones, which could weigh two catties, and all of them were poured into the pot.

When Master Zhou saw it, he said, "Okay, let's practice these first." Then I just got on cooking.

For dinner, Master Zhou's staple food was spicy soup noodles, and even a bowl of noodles and soup went down to the stomach, and even Yu Ping said: "When this scholar comes back, I'm afraid I'm going to have to talk about it." ”

"Teacher, don't worry, I will learn as soon as possible!" Qin Huaijin's ambition is as good as how easy it is to learn.

Shen Xiaoyu smiled, Qin Huaijin was happy, as for the rest, just talk about it when you meet it!

Master Zhou squatted at the door with a bowl of noodles to eat, and he didn't come to eat at a table, and he still maintained the habit of his hometown, Yu Ping saw it and said, "Master Zhou is from Tanbei?" ”

Master Zhou nodded: "Yes, from Fujiang County, Danbei!" ”

Yu Ping nodded and said: "That's really a good place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, I have been there once before, and I still want to go again, but now that I am older, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future!" ”

Master Zhou said, "Mr. doesn't seem to be very old, just sixty, right?" ”

The spicy noodle soup in Shen Xiaoyu's mouth almost squirted out, it was really Master Zhou's simplicity and truthfulness, and Yu Ping was only fifty-five years old this year!

Yu Ping was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "It's not ...... yet."

"Then you're not sixty yet, what are you anxious about, don't you just say you can go now!" Master Zhou said that she thinks that these literati are too good at grinding, just go if you want to, and still consider the question of whether there is a chance or not, Danbei is only a few hundred miles away from Liaoyang City, and it will be there in a few days by carriage, even if you walk with your feet, it will be there in half a month!

Qin Huaijin also held back a smile, his teacher probably encountered such a situation for the first time, this week's master is really amazing!

Shen Xiaoyu said: "The teacher wants to teach the young master to read, not just leave. ”

Master Zhou nodded: "That's right, you scholars are just troublesome." ”

"I'm full, keep eating!" Yu Ping was really embarrassed to death, and originally wanted to add another bowl, but this time he was full.

As soon as Yu Ping left, Shen Xiaoyu and Qin Huaijin looked at each other, and they laughed.

Master Zhou was inexplicable: "What's wrong?" What are you laughing at? ”

Shen Xiaoyu shook his head, and then said, "Master Zhou, the spicy soup is so delicious, I'll have another bowl!" ”

As soon as he heard that he wanted to eat it, Master Zhou said, "It's delicious, it's still in the pot, I'll serve it for you!" After that, he took the bowl and went to serve the noodles.

Qin Huaijin smiled happily, there were no such happy days in the Qin Mansion before, if he wanted to laugh, he couldn't laugh, he was afraid that Wang Xiuyan would know that he was not a sick man, and he would not dare to contact his subordinates easily, and his mother was not allowed, his mother looked at everyone as if she had been bought by Wang Xiuyan to harm him, how could there be a day like laughing when she wanted to laugh like in front of her!?

The days of the other courtyard were not deserted because there were fewer scholars, but because Master Zhou came to be lively.

Shen Xiaoyu can see that this week's master's cooking skills are not to say how high, and he may not even be able to compare with Lu Butterfly, but he is very good at arranging, the ingredients at home can be used, and he often makes some special snacks from his hometown in Tanbei, even if Yu Ping thinks that this week's master is a little annoying, but after all, they are all simple-minded people, and Yu Ping does not hate it.

"Look at it, it's hot, and there is bubbling in the chopsticks room, so at this time, put this meat into the oil pan and fry it!" Master Zhou taught Qin Huaijin, and Qin Huaijin learned seriously.

Master Zhou taught Qin Huaijin easily, she taught what she ate every day at home, Qin Huaijin can basically remember it, a little bit is thorough, although she has never brought an apprentice before, but when her master took her, it was not so smooth.

Shen Xiaoyu and Yu Ping have also become active when it is time to eat every day, Yu Ping used to always eat by himself in the room, but recently he has often eaten with them.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at Qin Huaijin's appearance in the kitchen, and felt that he was in a very good mood, he had always heard people say that men should either be cooks or not touch the stove, but Qin Huaijin didn't care at all. If you want to live in the future......

"Huh? Later......? Shen Xiaoyu was stunned, now she seems to automatically substitute the idea that she and Qin Huaijin will get married and live in the future?

Yu Ping looked at Shen Xiaoyu from the side and was startled, and said: "The future is still long, no one knows what will happen, but the future is not in vain, and nothing can be directly denied the possibility!" He also knew Shen Xiaoyu's situation, and he probably guessed Shen Xiaoyu's thoughts.

Shen Xiaoyu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Unlikely!" ”

Yu Ping glared and said: "Who are you and you, you are my Yu Ping's disciple, male disciples can be first-class members above 10,000 people under one person, what is wrong with female disciples being first-class orders?" He still has this confidence!
