Chapter 108: Let's Apprentice
Seeing that Qi Erfeng was so happy, Xiao Hongluo's heart was also happy, he turned his head and glanced at Dong Fangyu, which seemed random, but in fact reminded him very meaningfully: "Mother, if there is anything Erfeng doesn't understand, you have to mention it more, don't treat her as an outsider." ”
Dong Fangyu's face changed, she was the top chef in the imperial dining room before, and it was precisely because of her special identity that she was chosen as the best candidate to take care of the young Xiao Hongluo.
How can people who know cooking not know the importance of cooking to themselves? Therefore, they generally do not pass on their unique skills to others. Xiao Hongluo reminded Dong Fangyu like this, but she asked her not to hide her secrets, which shows the importance of Qi Erfeng in her mind. Dong Fangyu's face was only unnatural for a moment, and soon she said with a smile: "Of course, she is my daughter-in-law, which is equivalent to half of my daughter, will I still treat her as an outsider?" You can rest assured. ”
Hearing her say this, Xiao Hongluo nodded.
"Put the cooking skills first, eat the meal first, I also know Erfeng's cooking skills, at that time, the cooking competition of Drunken Xianju in Feilong County, it was a shock to the Quartet, I didn't dare to hold it in front of her, and when she finished eating the food I cooked, I felt that I could really guide her, and I had the confidence to teach her." Dong Fangyu said.
Qi Erfeng hurriedly said: "Mother, don't say that, the dishes you cook are above me, you can teach me." ”
At this time, Qi Erfeng couldn't take care of it anymore. When it comes to learning to cook, she is very thick-skinned. I think that in order to learn cooking skills, she did a lot of work for those excellent chefs in the back kitchen of the hotel. Not only was she scolded so bloody, but she also looked at other people's faces every day, just like that, Qi Erfeng still waited with a smile, for fear that others would not be willing to teach her a little bit. In those days, Qi Erfeng relied on his diligence and studiousness, and soon he would be able to take charge on his own. Later, when she also became a star chef in a five-star hotel, when she took her apprentice again, she would not treat her apprentice like that. In her opinion, there is indeed a situation of 'blue out of blue and better than blue' in the matter of cooking, but if you only look at this matter with such a narrow consciousness, not only will it not develop for herself, but it will not be beneficial for the improvement of the cooking skills of the entire industry.
For her, she was well-known in the industry at that time. As long as everyone mentions Qi Erfeng, they all nod, such a chef with both character and cooking skills is rare. Therefore, there is such a situation, although many people have never seen Qi Erfeng, as long as they hear her name, they will say that she is good.
Dong Fangyu didn't speak for a while, just looked at Qi Erfeng with a smile. She wanted to see if Qi Erfeng was polite with her, or if she really wanted to learn something from her.
Seeing that Dong Fangyu didn't speak, but just looked at her with a smile, Qi Erfeng was a little anxious: "Mother, are you ...... You wouldn't want to, would you? You say, what do you want me to do before you agree? ”
She understands the rules of conduct, and learning a craft under someone else's hands will definitely have to endure some hardships. Qi Erfeng had already made such preparations in his heart.
When Xiao Hongluo saw Dong Fangyu like this, he called out a little unhappily: "Mother......"
Dong Fangyu broke the gong in a second, and immediately responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you, Erfeng, you girl is too ignorant of teasing, I didn't say anything for two seconds, you see that you are so anxious." ”
In fact, where is Qi Erfeng talking about this, he is clearly talking about Xiao Hongluo. He just couldn't see Qi Erfeng's anxious appearance, so Qi Erfeng hadn't caught fire yet, but Xiao Hongluo was angry.
Of course, Xiao Hongluo is not stupid, can he not understand the meaning of Dong Fangyu's words? Seeing Dong Fangyu say this, she obviously had a sense of grievance, after all, she was the nurse who brought him up since she was a child, and she was almost like her own mother. Therefore, seeing Dong Fangyu's grievances, Xiao Hongluo was also a little unbearable.
"Mother, don't take it to heart, I'...... I just hope you two are okay. Both of you are the most important people in my life, and I don't want the two of you to have a bad time in the future. These words are really Xiao Hongluo's heart.
Dong Fangyu nodded and sighed silently in her heart. Alas, what can be done? Men should get married, women should get married, and they won't be left behind. Now Xiao Hongluo's eyes are Qi Erfeng, no matter how aggrieved Dong Fangyu is, he can only accept this fact. You can't compete with your daughter-in-law for favor, right?
Dong Fangyu said: "I understand, since Erfeng is willing to learn, I will teach you a simple dish after eating." ”
Hearing this, Qi Erfeng, who had not had a very good appetite just now, immediately buried her head in eating without raising her head, for fear of affecting her own eating speed.
Xiao Hongluo smiled and said, "You slow down, don't choke." ”
As soon as his words fell, Qi Erfeng wiped his mouth and said, "I'm done eating." ”
The other three all looked at her in disbelief. This...... This is eating too fast, isn't it? If you enter the palace with such a meal......
Dong Fangyu and Xiao Huwei's eyes fell on Xiao Hongluo's body. The worry in his eyes could not be concealed.
However, Xiao Hongluo didn't seem to realize it at all, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Qi Erfeng finishing his meal so quickly. She had grown up in the countryside, and it was impossible for her to have the royal etiquette of a court lady. Besides, he didn't like that. Elegance to others seems to him to be nothing more than an unreal deliberateness. On the contrary, it was Qi Erfeng's simplicity and truthfulness that made him happy.
Seeing that Dong Fangyu and Xiao Huwei looked at her a little strangely, Qi Erfeng was a little embarrassed, and she said apologetically: "You eat slowly, I'll take a rest." You don't have to worry. ”
Although he said that he was not in a hurry, his eyes kept glancing at Dong Fangyu. She really wanted to learn cooking from Dong Fangyu immediately.
Dong Fangyu was a little embarrassed: "This ...... Why don't you go to the yard first? It's like digestive food. ”
She is really not used to being watched like this. Moreover, Qi Erfeng's meaning was obviously waiting for her. Dong Fangyu wanted to teach her to cook immediately without eating, but in the face of Xiao Hongluo and Xiao Huwei, Dong Fangyu couldn't do such an outrageous thing.
Xiao Hongluo also turned his head to Qi Erfeng and said, "Do you want to go out for a walk?" ”
Qi Erfeng thought they had something to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk." You eat slowly, and when you're done, call me. ”
Of course, the last sentence was for Dong Fangyu.
After Qi Erfeng walked out, Dong Fangyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she exhaled, and then asked Xiao Hongluo: "Da Lang ......"
Although Xiao Hongluo and Qi Erfeng have now become husband and wife, and they are already adults, Dong Fangyu has been used to calling Xiao Hongluo Xiao Dalang in order to hide their identities for so many years.
Xiao Hongluo raised his eyes to look at her, and his eyes were unhappy.
"This ...... Erfeng's appearance, I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the rules of the palace, right? Anyway, she has to learn how to cook with me, or ...... I'll also teach her the etiquette in the palace by the way, right? When Dong Fangyu said this, she was completely thinking about him from Xiao Hongluo's point of view.
However, what she didn't expect was that Xiao Hongluo didn't appreciate it at all. Originally, the waves in his eyes were unhappy, but after hearing her words, his face immediately changed: "Mother, I like Erfeng's appearance, as for the rules in the palace...... I'm originally a country man, so why should I care about the rules in the palace? ”
But ...... "You're going back to the palace after all!"
Seeing that Dong Fangyu still wanted to persuade her, Xiao Huwei on the side immediately pulled her sleeve and signaled her not to continue. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Hongluo is very fond of Qi Erfeng now, what are the rules in the palace? It is estimated that he is willing to let Xiao Hongluo exchange the country for a beauty now.
Men always know men best.
Dong Fangyu, who originally wanted to say something more, immediately shut up with amusement, and just buried her head in eating her own food.
Without Qi Erfeng by his side, Xiao Hongluo suddenly felt interested, and before he had eaten a few bites, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Dong Fangyu and Xiao Huwei: "You eat first, I'll go out to see her." ”
"But you haven't eaten yet." Dong Fangyu said with concern.
"Oh, Fangyu, you don't care so much, let's eat our own. When you're done eating, I'll help you clean up the dishes. "It's rare for Xiao Huwei to take the initiative to help with housework, which is unprecedented in Dong Fangyu's opinion. Therefore, Dong Fangyu's attention was immediately diverted.
"Really? That's a rare thing. ”
"Look at you, I'm kind enough to help you, and you're still teasing me. Otherwise, I won't help you with the housework, you can do the work yourself. Xiao Huwei said with a deliberately calm face.
"Don't don't, oh, you don't know, it's rare for me to enjoy such a blessing in my life." Dong Fangyu smiled comfortably.
Xiao Hongluo didn't care about the two of them, stood up and walked to the courtyard.
Qi Erfeng was sitting alone on the stone bench in the courtyard at this time, holding a flower in his hand at random, looking around a little bored and curious. Hearing the movement, she immediately turned her head excitedly to look, and after finding out that it was Xiao Hongluo, her look of anticipation was immediately reduced by half.
She thought it was Dong Fangyu who came out after eating, but she didn't expect it to be Xiao Hongluo!
How could the change in her expression escape Xiao Hongluo's eyes?
"What? At this time, I don't want to see a second person other than my mother, do you? ”
was thought of by him, Qi Erfeng's face was a little embarrassed: "Where is it, I'm just ...... I didn't think you'd finish your meal so quickly. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? What are you doing here? ”
"Without you, I wouldn't have an appetite." Xiao Hongluo said very calmly, but Qi Erfeng on the side made a big red face.
