The Fang family's original mansion also had a lot of old honey locust trees, but unfortunately the mansion was later exported by Fang Hui's father as a bet.

The few remaining orphans and widows of the Fang family had to move to the current small courtyard.

There was also a honey locust tree planted in this small courtyard, but it was not old enough to bear honey locusts.

In order to generate income, Mrs. Fang would buy some honey locusts from other people's houses, peel them out, dry them and sell them to the medicine shop.

She couldn't do any other manual work.

Peeling honey locusts is a time-consuming and laborious delicate work, and the original sack of honey locusts was peeled out of the soap horn rice, but only a shallow layer was laid in the basin.

Old Madam Fang has been peeling it for several days, and it is inevitable that she will have some back pain and sore neck.

She got up and moved, only to hear a knock on the courtyard door.

Who will come at this time?

Old Madam Fang walked to the door and did not open the door immediately, but raised her voice and asked, "Who?" ”

There is no way, their family is now old, young, either widows or orphans, so they have to be cautious.

"Old lady, it's me." Shen Yizhi replied outside the door.

Qin, who was biting the line, looked up in surprise: "Mother, it's Miss Shen." ”

Only then did Old Madam Fang open the door and welcome Shen Yizhi in.

Shen Yizhi handed over a large basket he was carrying, which contained some vegetables, meat and fruits.

And a letter of pastry.

Old Madam Fang was disgusted: "Come here, what kind of gift do you bring." ”

In the end, I still took the things.

The Qin family had already moved a chair, invited Shen Yizhi to sit, poured water for her, washed the dates and brought them up.

Shen Yizhi waved his hand, "Auntie, just do your own thing, don't worry about me." ”

Qin could see that she was not saying kind words, so he sat down again and picked up the embroidered bandage.

Old Madam Fang sorted out the things that Shen Yizhi brought, and looked at the extraordinarily fresh and watery fruits and vegetables, and the more she felt good about her in her heart.

When she came out of the house, she saw Shen Yizhi and her daughter-in-law together, talking and laughing, and they were very harmonious.

"Mother, come and see, this is the embroidery sample that Yizhi painted for me, it is really beautiful, and the embroidery will definitely be brilliant."

Old Madam Fang glanced over and couldn't take her eyes off it.

The painting shows two fat dolls playing with balls, the two dolls still look exactly the same, only the clothes are different, the appearance of Yuxue is cute, quite pleasing.

And the painting is so vivid that the laughter of the two dolls seems to come out through the pages.

Mrs. Fang was already at the age of being a grandmother, and when she saw these two dolls, she immediately liked them very much.

Shen Yizhi looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who couldn't put down this embroidery, and squinted with a smile.

Needless to say, the two dolls she painted were Qingbao and Yuanbao.

Sure enough, her baby is popular everywhere she goes.

Now he has helped her further gain the favor of the Fang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Shen Yizhi realized his intentions.

"Five days later, there will be a triennial cooking conference in Yingcheng, old lady, if I can help Huihui win the first prize in the conference, how about you sell me the family heirloom kitchen knife?"

Xie Wanxiang helped her find out the news.

Shen Yizhi felt that there was a door when he heard it, didn't Old Madam Fang think about revitalizing the family and carrying forward Fang's cooking skills? This cooking conference is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself!

Sure enough, Old Madam Fang's expression was shocked when she heard her words, but in an instant, she became suspicious again: "How can Miss Shen help Huihui win the first place in the conference?" Huihui's cooking skills are among the best among her peers, but they are still inferior to those chefs who have been immersed in cooking for decades. ”

She is still aware of this, and she will not blindly ignore it just because her granddaughter is her pride.

And cooking skills are not something that can be improved in a short period of time.

Shen Yizhi raised a mysterious smile: "Mountain people have their own tricks. ”

Seeing that the old lady was still hesitant, Shen Yizhi rolled up her sleeves: "In this way, I'll make you two dishes to taste, and you can evaluate whether I am qualified to help Huihui win the first prize, how about it?" ”

"Okay." This time, Mrs. Fang agreed happily.

Shen Yizhi walked to the earthen stove, to be honest, she hadn't used the earthen stove for a long time, and she was used to using Chang Ran Ding for cooking, after all, she could control the heat at will with Chang Ran Ding, and she could switch between various kitchenware modes, not too convenient.

"Old lady, can you please help me light the fire?" Shen Yizhi walked to the door.

Old Madam Fang got up and entered the house and sat down in front of the stove.

Shen Yizhi used the dishes he brought, but those were all from the space, and they tasted more than one grade better than the dishes outside.

The seasoning is also made by yourself.

While using it, he introduced it to Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang has been married into the Fang family, a family of chefs, for decades, and naturally understands that the quality of a dish sometimes depends on the seasoning.

If you don't use the right seasoning, the taste will probably be much worse.

And at this moment, the row of seasonings that Shen Yizhi took out, the basic seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were forgotten, monosodium glutamate, oil consumption, chili, tempeh sauce, pepper, etc., but Old Madam Fang had never seen them.

Curry chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, sauerkraut fish, tomato scrambled eggs, loofah soup.

Four dishes and one soup.

During this period, Old Madam Fang didn't know how much saliva she swallowed.

Even the Qin family outside was so fragrant that he didn't bother to do embroidery work, and his fingers were poked several times.

When Fang Hui and Fang Cheng came back, they smelled the tempting fragrance from afar.

I thought to myself that someone's cooking is so fragrant, it's really greedy.

When I got home, I found that the fragrance came from my own house.

"Coming back? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, this meal today was made by Miss Shen, and we are all blessed. Old Madam Fang greeted her granddaughter and grandson with a smile.

Fang Hui was pleasantly surprised: "Sister Shen is here?" ”

The sister and brother quickly washed their hands and sat down at the table, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

In addition to being greedy, Fang Hui also noticed that except for the loofah soup on the table, the other four dishes were all new dishes that she didn't know!

The chicken curry was a whole chicken, but the soup on top was so rich and complex that she could barely tell how many of them were.

You must know that she is born with a keen sense of smell, and when she was a child, her grandfather said that she was God's food.

When a dish is placed in front of her, she can often get a general idea of the ingredients and ingredients in it by smelling it, and she can make it by trying to make it a few more times.

However, she couldn't distinguish this chicken curry, which could only be said that there were several spices in it that she had never heard of or seen.

The ingredients of the two dishes, shredded pork with fish flavor and sauerkraut fish, were not unusual, she smelled them as soon as she smelled them, but the method was something she had never seen before.

There is also this tomato scrambled egg, the method and seasoning are simple, but the tomatoes in it are something she has never seen before.

I've never seen it, let alone used it for cooking.

Fang Hui pondered and chewed slowly.

When she tasted the loofah soup, she was shocked again, she thought it was just an ordinary loofah soup, but it was completely different from what she had tasted before, it was very fresh, and there was a hint of sweetness.
