Wang Mengjiao was born in poverty, lived in exile since childhood, and met a merchant surnamed Ma at the age of sixteen.

The merchant surnamed Ma already had a wife in his family, but because his wife was jealous, he did not dare to marry a concubine.

went out to do business to Wang Mengjiao's hometown, and married Wang Mengjiao as a concubine by convenience.

When the day of returning home was the raw rice and cooked rice, the wife of the horse merchant could not say much.

A few years later, Wang Mengjiao gave birth to a son for a horse merchant. The horse merchant was overjoyed to have a son in his later years. Wang Mengjiao was mostly suppressed by his wife before this, and now that he has a son, he thought he could live a good life, but he didn't want to put his life in danger.

……

Qian Junbao retracted his gaze, thinking of the bad things at home, his mood was extremely heavy.

Thinking about whether he should propose to break up the family if he can get away with it after he gets married.

He is just a concubine brought home by his father who doesn't even know who his mother is, and his mother-in-law Liu only has one son.

Her son is fourteen years apart from herself, although he is a brother, he is from a different mother, and there is a big difference in age, so he is naturally not close.

There are no other concubines in the family, and he used to be young and weak, and he was raised in his grandmother's name.

In the first few years, he was able to get along with his mother and eldest brother, and he and they could live without interfering with each other and living separately in the same house.

The well water does not interfere with the river water, as long as he manages the one acre and three points of land in Qingzhu Courtyard, he will be safe.

It's just that when he gets older, his brother-in-law has more ideas, and he slowly takes over the family's business.

And the mother-in-law also began to make plans, and her existence became more and more dazzling to the Liu family.

Especially after his father fell ill, Liu's movements became more obvious, making him feel that it was difficult to move at home.

It's just that these are things outside his body, and he doesn't take them too seriously, but his life is not long, and he doesn't know how many days he can last, but it's a pity that the people he thinks about in his heart can no longer be seen.

"Young Master, what are you looking at?" Qian Duoduo walked over and asked.

Qian Junbao was stunned, and asked with some sadness: "Do you think I can still see her?" ”

"She?" Qian Duoduo was sluggish and didn't know what to say.

"Forget it......"

Qian Duoduo scratched his head, took out the brocade box with a smile and said, "Young Master, I got the medicinal materials, shall we go back to the Homeinn now?" ”

"Let's go back!" Qian Junbao got up.

……

It took a quarter of an hour to return to the small courtyard at the north gate from Tianxueju, Ye Qing helped Ye Wenshan to his room and just let him lie down, and Ye Xi also happened to be out of school.

As soon as Ye Qing saw him, he said, "Xiaoxi, you go to boil medicine for your father first, and I'll go out and buy some food and come back." When Dad has finished eating, you can feed him medicine after half of the hour. ”

"Hmm." Ye Xi nodded, he didn't know that so many things had happened in his family this afternoon, and he thought that his sister had returned to the town from the village.

"Be careful of the fire." Ye Qing instructed again, and then found a bamboo basket to go out.

Ye Qing had already thought a lot on the road just now, if he left like this, his father's illness would definitely be extremely sad.

He can only lie down more, and he can't even read and write, and people are afraid that they have nothing to do and are spiritually empty.

So Ye Qing was going to find a little guy to come over to take care of his father, and when Ye Qing was away, his father also had someone to talk to, so time passed relatively quickly.

And she has to take advantage of the two days to arrange everything, and she has to take out the money in her hand to invest in some trading.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be taken away with this silver, nor would it be returned to Ye Wenshan, but the time was in a hurry, and I didn't know what to do first.

Preferably, it is best to find a partner first. Thinking about it, Ye Ying is very suitable, it should be more reliable and stable.

Cooking food is what Ye Qing is best at, but he can't get up in a short time to open a restaurant.

Thinking that Ye Ying and her mother-in-law just wanted to go back to the town to live, if she opened a shop in the town, she could partner with Ye Ying to do business.

Originally, the inn was a ready-made place, but the location was relatively remote, not to mention that she didn't have much time to stay in town.

The sky is clear and clear.

When he got up in the morning, Ye Qing looked in the mirror for a minute more than usual.

Looking at the two-layered chin in the mirror and some acne marks on his face that have not completely disappeared.

He pinched the flesh on his body again and frowned.

She felt that her task of becoming rejuvenated and slim was even more urgent.

Qian Junbao was still resting, she didn't wake her up, and walked out of the bedroom by changing into simple clothes and pants alone.

In the early morning, the small kitchen of Qingzhuyuan is already busy.

The plan of the day is in the morning, and breakfast should be nutritious.

Ye Qing entered the kitchen, and the people inside hurriedly greeted her when they saw her coming.

She smiled one by one, and now she was relatively familiar with the place, and even one person could easily make the food she wanted.

The better part of the kitchen of a large family is that in addition to the complete stoves, all kinds of ingredients are also available.

There are also freshly caught river fresh products in the tank.

Ye Qing first washed the japonica rice and soaked it in cold water, which should be an early-maturing variety from Haizhou.

The rice porridge made is not easy to turn into paste, but the particles are distinct, crystal clear, and fragrant.

"I started as a seaman, and I really have some ingredients that ordinary people don't have.

I heard that the Qian family also has more than a dozen sea ships that go to sea every month, and some even go to several small countries around them. Ye Qing couldn't help muttering.

She asked the original cook in the kitchen to fetch all the ingredients for the porridge later.

Then he instructed her to remove the old tendons from the scallops, soak them in warm water, and knead them.

Cut the dried squid into thin strips, put it in boiling water to blanch it to remove miscellaneous flavors, and then soak it in warm water with alkali so that it will not bite and not move.

Rinse the fried pork rind, cut it into strips, and cook it in a pot of boiling water.

Cut the salted duck breast into shreds, and then teach the cook to put the peanuts into the slow boiling oil pot and fry them with boiling oil until fragrant, and remove and drain the oil when they are golden brown.

And what she has to do is naturally the process of cooking porridge at the end.

Ye Qing looked at Dong Ling, who had just come into the kitchen and didn't know what to do, and instructed her: "Dong Ling, you peel and chop the horseshoe, add rock sugar and a little tangerine peel to make soup."

Then steam the mung beans that were soaked last night, add water and boil them into mung bean paste, and finally put the mung bean paste into the water chestnut soup. ”

"Okay, slave and maid, let's do it." Dong Ling received the order, and he was still a little happy in his heart, but he didn't expect to learn a dim sum method.

Horseshoe mung bean is a good thing that can clear away heat and detoxification, and rejuvenate the skin.

While waiting for the ingredients to soak, Ye Qing decided to make two more side dishes to eat with porridge.

Summer is the hottest season of the year, and people often experience general fatigue, loss of appetite, sweating, dizziness, upset, and drowsiness in the hot summer, so greasy things are not considered in the morning.

She picked up a piece of fresh white lotus root, carefully washed and scraped the skin of the lotus, and held the kitchen knife on the thick board.

Ye Qing's expression instantly became very focused, and only when she was cooking did she feel like she had gone back to the past, and she could feel that this body was completely at her disposal.

A thick kitchen knife rotated flexibly in her hand, whether it was a crisp white lotus root or a crisp bamboo shoot that had just come out of summer.

and fresh ginger and red peppers, all of which have become even and beautiful slices and shreds in her hands.

Add an appropriate amount of cold water to the pot and bring it to a boil over a strong fire first;

Rinse the lotus root slices and crispy bamboo shoots in hot water, then take them out and soak them in cool well water, so that they can be crispy when you eat them later.

Soon a plate of cold sweet and sour lotus root slices and a plate of hot and sour crispy bamboo shoots are ready.

At this point, the ingredients for making porridge are almost ready to use.

Pour water into the pot and heat it, then add japonica rice, dried scallops, and other ingredients, wait for boiling, change to low heat and simmer until the porridge is formed, add a little salt to taste.

Finally, put the fried egg skins, fried peanuts, and coriander into a large bowl, flush into the rolling porridge, and then add lard, soy sauce, and ginger and mix well.

Soon a strong smell spread through the kitchen and down the door into the courtyard.

Then he leisurely got into the tip of Qian Junbao's nose who had just gotten up, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, he smiled shallowly, and instructed Qian Duoduo, who had just walked in and was still a little sleepy-eyed, to fetch water and wash him.

Qian Duoduo stretched his waist, suddenly his nose twitched, sniffed hard, and smelled a fragrance he had never smelled before.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he said with all his sleepiness: "Wow, it's so fragrant, could it be that the young lady is making something delicious in the kitchen!" ”

Qian Junbao shook his head, picked up the fan and patted him on the shoulder, "Then you don't go to fetch water quickly, I haven't seen a scholar who gets up later than the master." ”

"Yes, Master Bao." Qian Duoduo scratched his head, and then ran out of the door as if he had Hot Wheels on his feet.

"I've never seen him so active." Qian Junbao smiled and muttered, he put away the books on the table, and then went to find a set of light blue brocade robes to change into.

After washing up, Qian Junbao walked out with a calm step, and found that breakfast had been set on the table in the courtyard.

Since the last time he had a meal in the courtyard, Ye Qing proposed to eat in the courtyard when the weather was good.

Qian Duoduo stood on the edge of the table and stared at the things on the table, his eyes were incredulous, and he kept shouting: "What a fragrant porridge."

How to do this, I have never seen so many delicious things in the porridge, which is more fragrant than the laba porridge made in winter. ”

"Well, it's golden water porridge." Dong Ling stood aside and swallowed his saliva before raising his head and said proudly.

This porridge, she watched the young lady make it from beginning to end, and the young lady not only didn't mind them watching from the side, but also explained the method to them.

"Golden water porridge?"

Dongling nodded, "Hmm." Duoduo, let me tell you...... There's a touching story here. ”

"What a story, tell me about it." Qian Duoduo is curious, he likes to listen to stories the most.

"According to legend...... There was a girl named Jin Shui from the boat who was very kind-hearted.

One day, she released a carp that her father had caught back into the river.

A year later, Jin Shui's father fell seriously ill, and she was very sad and came to the river to pray for the blessing of the immortals.

Then a fairy came out of the water and said, "I am a carp that you saved a few years ago. All you need to do is cook some fish porridge and sell it to others, and you can exchange money to take your father to the doctor, and you will be cured within 10 days. ”

Jin Shui cured his father's illness according to the law, and the porridge was named Jin Shui Porridge from then on. ”

After hearing this, Qian Duoduo smiled with a little expectation in his eyes: "Jin Shui is really a kind girl, and she can make good food, if only I could marry such a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Mao hasn't grown up yet, so I'm thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law!" Qian Shanbo also walked out and said with a smile, and suddenly saw Qian Junbao standing not far away, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Young Master Bao, you're up."

"Well, go and invite my wife over for dinner." Qian Junbao walked to the dining table with a light smile.

"The little ones are going." Qian Duoduo immediately ran towards the kitchen.

"Look at his anxious ......," Qian Shanbo smiled and shook his head.

After Ye Qing sat down, Dongyun began to distribute porridge to everyone, and as soon as Qian Duoduo got his bowl, he hurriedly sat down at another table and ate it without burning his mouth.

While eating, he shouted, "It's delicious...... It's so hot......"

It made the big guy laugh, but no one teased him, because the porridge tasted so good.

"How's it going, is it delicious?" Seeing that Qian Duoduo opened his eyebrows and smiled without stopping, Dongling couldn't help but tease him.

"Uh-huh...... Several...... Oh. He spat out a few random notes, and he couldn't even hear what he was muttering.

But at the moment of food, it is impossible for him to stop talking.

I don't know what Qian Duoduo said, Dong Ling laughed out loud.

"Be kind, don't tease him anymore, be careful that he chokes." Dongyun said from the side.

Qian Duoduo looked at Dongyun gratefully.

"Who wants him to have the virtue of being reincarnated as a starving ghost." Dong Ling teased.

Qian Duoduo didn't carry it with her, but babbled and ate it, what a waste of time to talk.

Although the young lady makes a lot of porridge, there are also many big guys, and it is estimated that there will be no one who eats two bowls, he wants to eat quickly, eat three bowls, and eat Dongling's share.

Seeing that he ate too fast and kept stuffing cold lotus root slices, Dongyun couldn't help but tell him: "Eat slowly, be careful of choking." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Duoduo really choked.

"Hey, take a sip of mung bean soup!" When Ye Qing saw it, he hurriedly poured a bowl of soup and came out, and Dong Yun also hurriedly ran behind him to pat him on the back.

After drinking half a bowl of soup, Qian Duoduo patted his chest and said, "Suffocate me!" ”

"Who told you to be gluttonous?" Dong Ling flicked at his head, "I don't know how to pay attention to such a big person when eating, no one will rob you." ”

"It's delicious!" Qian Duoduo also wrinkled his nose at Dongling and smirked.

"It's delicious, just eat one more bowl, and there are so many porridges, but I'll have to eat it slowly." Qian Junbao also looked at him and said.

"Thank you, young master. Don't worry, the little one will be careful next time. ”

Everyone smiled, and then everyone picked up their spoons and enjoyed the warm morning slowly.

After eating, Qian Junbao put his rice bowl aside, and Qian Junbao proposed: "The weather is good today, and everyone is tired in the first two days, why don't we go out for a walk together during the day?" ”

"Where?" Ye Qing looked at the sky, the sun came out, looking at the weather today, it is estimated that there will be more than 30 degrees, and it will be hot in a while.

Qian Junbao stood up and said: "Let's make a decision later, Dongling and Dongyun, you clean up, while the weather is still not hot, everyone will set off in two quarters of an hour." ”

Two quarters of an hour later, Ye Qing walked out of the Qian Mansion with Qian Junbao, and both got into the carriage, and Dongling and the others also followed in a small carriage.

Ye Qing curiously lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, only to find that they were heading towards the east of the city.
