The little girl was ashamed, and her eyes rushed to eat: "I heard that a few white fish sent from outside the pass in the second half of the day will grow stronger than those in the spring, isn't it?" ”

White fish are raised in the Songhua River, the best in February and March, followed by the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now it is in October, it is rare to see such fat and thick meat.

What's even more rare is that this person has always been outdated and picky, but now he is also approachable.

Gu Tingwen nodded, marinated the fish and then cut the meat: "It's okay to taste it once in a while." ”

Ren Yan smiled with crooked eyebrows: "That's a good dare, I haven't tasted the craftsmanship of the Seventh Master for a long time!" ”

The fish entered the hot oil pot, and in the sound of oil bubbles, the seventh master said reservedly: "Do you think about my craft, or ......?"

"Miss you!"

Ren Yan is a person who understands, and all the clues have to be attributed to the right master. He was happy, and she was able to eat the juicy and delicious roasted white fish.

Gu Tingwen saw her blinking, and knew that she had other thoughts, and deliberately teased her: "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to buy your favorite catfish." ”

She loves to eat fish, but she is not picky about the type of fish, and she has burned those fish under her hands, and the most delicious is the fish soup that he called Shang Ke last time, but it has not yet been completed.

But it is unlikely that Gu Tingwen mentioned catfish for no reason, and Ren Yan's eyes rolled and suddenly realized.

At the critical time, she was not ambiguous, she propped up the table with her arms, twisted her neck to look at his eyes, and her face was full of funny smiles: "Gu Tingwen, are you jealous?" ”

Tofu Hutong, the bean dregs braised river catfish; And the young man who spoke to her.

He sent someone to protect her at all times, and had previously asked if it was bothering her or making her feel unfree; Ren Yan shook his head, there was no trace of him, and he only showed up when he was in danger, such as Xiao Mei who was accidentally injured last time.

Therefore, it is normal for Gu Tingwen to know her whereabouts.

was meant to tease her, but I didn't expect to leak my heart first.

He rarely showed an embarrassed expression, noncommittal.

Ren Yan leaned over and bit his chin: "I said something, it's about you......"

"Tingwen, how early and late can you eat!" The two gentlemen who went and returned appeared at the door and quipped, "If it's inconvenient, let's go upside down first, find a restaurant on the street, and you can live by burning half a bowl of haggis on fire!" ”

Through the door, no one came in, and the shadow was printed on the cotton curtain, hugging his shoulders, watching the play.

The fried golden fish body was served on the plate, and the pot was reheated and the meat slices were poured in vegetable oil, and Gu Tingwen took advantage of the time to reply: "It's good to go, don't send it!" ”

Ren Yan covered his mouth in the house, the two gentlemen on the door were dumbfounded, and Liang Fu opened his mouth first: "If you don't have a cheap price, let's just stay here, we can't eat after half an hour, let's go in and fight our own teeth!" ”

After a few jokes, Ren Yan helped to bring the roasted white fish out of the house, boiled white and fat steamed buns in the iron pot, and served two vegetarian dishes, one meat and one soup, and the four of them ate happily around the small table.

Because outsiders are there, Ren Yan is not good at talking to Gu Tingwen about the second master of the Gu family, but he thinks it is very interesting for Mr. Liang and Zhang to eat at the same table. After all, one is Cheng Huiyu's fiancé, and the other is her sweetheart.

Sending the guests away, Gu Tingwen explained: "Liang Fu asked Huiyu to go out, and it was Yue Nian who saw Yue Nian, and there was a curfew for the family, so she went back first." ”

"So, what will happen to the next three people?"

Gu Tingwen said: "The parents of the two families are very persistent. ”

"Oh." She began to get nervous.

Gu Tingwen touched her hair: "What did you want to say to me just now?" ”

"Du Liren and your second brother are very familiar." Ren Yan told him what he saw and heard about Xiangsheng, "A gentleman has been standing in front of the door for so long in the middle of the night, if it is not love, it can only be hate." ”

"Okay, I got it." He smiled and stroked her hair again.

Ren Yan looked up at him: "Last night, did you meet each other, and the guy Xiao Liuzi from Tangkou?" ”

Gu Tingwen smiled and lowered his head to kiss her lips: "It's a dispute in the family, I'll tell you in detail when it's over, okay?" ”

The tone was pleading, gentle, and unquestionably persistent.

She always accommodated him: "Okay. ”

His forehead pressed against hers, slightly apologetic, "I'm sorry to involve you." ”

"It doesn't matter, sooner or later, I don't have to face it all." She hugged him and patted him on the back for comfort.

"Rouge—"

"Huh?"

"When this is over, I will propose to you." He put her in his heart, "When your three-year mourning period is over, we will get married." ”

Ren Yan was speechless for a moment.

He didn't wait for a response, so he looked down at her: "Do you think something is wrong?" Or maybe you don't have the intention of doing so? ”

Gu Tingwen's voice was very soft and calm, as if he was really discussing with her; But look closely at his eyes, faintly uneasy.

Even more uneasy than him was Ren Yan, who was clutching the collar of his shirt and trembling slightly.

He noticed it, trying to ease her mood: "We've only known each other for eight months, and you probably don't know me well enough. Before the matter of the Gu family is over, you can think carefully and give me another answer. ”

She still didn't respond.

Gu Tingwen was not in a hurry, he just hugged her quietly.

Then, with a move of the hand that was on his arm, he bowed his head—

The little girl looked up, her eyes watery: "I have never been married......"

What is the beginning of this?

He laughed: "Coincidentally, I didn't either." ”

Ren Yan's eyes were a little red with anger: "I don't know what to prepare, and I don't know ......"

"It's okay, it's all me." He bowed his head and kissed her, smiling.

"There are no parents or brothers......"

"You've got me." He said.

The little girl in her arms was crying.

He hugged her and patted her on the shoulder: "Your grievances and regrets can be handed over to me, and I will compensate you for the rest of my life." ”

What happened that night later, Ren Yan can't remember very clearly.

For example, what time did Gu Tingwen leave, what did she explain before leaving, how did she go back to the house, whether she rested or not, her mind was chaotic.

When she got up to eat in the morning, Zhao's mother also teased her: "It's all settled, and I haven't eased my mind yet, crying and laughing, the chicken cat is shouting, stupid!" ”

Ren Yan held his chopsticks and pursed his lips.

Not only her, but also Zhao's mother, swept the courtyard and washed the leaves and said, "It's so good, Qi'er is going to marry his wife!" ”

Basking in the sun under the eaves, touching a handful of wild cats' shiny fur, he said, "It's good, Qi'er is going to marry his wife!" ”

When she went to work, Ren Yan Lele entered the Honghen Hall, and whoever saw her had to ask: "Miss Ren picked up the gold ingots again, how old is it?" ”

It's been a few months since I last picked up the money, right?

She was happy in her heart, and she could bend her eyes to say hello to Du Liren who was about to go out in the backyard.

Du Liren sighed in his nasal cavity, and he was considered to have returned, took two steps and hummed: "Zhang Ba'er, he doesn't have three or two all day long, he doesn't do it right!" ”

Because Xiangsheng unintentionally mentioned it yesterday, everyone was gone, and Ren Yan was still standing in place and pondering to himself.

Senior Brother Yang leaned over with her and took a look: "Where is there gold again, I'll pick it up!" ”

Ren Yan glared at him: "It was Uncle Du just now, who sent him out." ”

Senior Brother Yang trembled: "I see that you are really tired, send him, snort!" ”

"In this situation, he didn't follow the hall and walked around again?"

Senior Brother Yang shook the rag that cleaned his hands: "We are not an ordinary restaurant here, and Uncle Du is not an ordinary rope and ink, so there is no need to wait here all the time." It is said that the bookkeeper has guaranteed him an apprentice, and he is being led by his parents to see him. ”

Ren Yan nodded: "Uncle Du is famous all over the world, and the threshold of being his apprentice will be trampled." ”

Senior Brother Yang disdainful: "Whoever worships him as a teacher must be the finished thing!" Look at the apprentices under his hands, their reputation hasn't been called yet, and now there are no people? ”

But no, when her mother was not willing to teach her the craft, she always said, "Don't learn to cook and eat when you raise cubs, and you have to be three inches short when you see people", this person is not only a guest, but also a master.

miscellaneous grievances, even more grievances in the hall. Especially with that Master Du, who is still doing handyman work, he almost cries blood.

When it comes to this, Ren Yan still has lingering palpitations.

Senior Brother Yang pulled her twice: "This journey is busy, don't stand stupidly." We don't have master's apprentices, so we don't have as good as others. ”

To the root of the year, there is an endless stream of drinking and banquets in various provinces, not to mention the first day of the new year to Chinese New Year's Eve, which is almost the busiest time in Hongpheasant.

In addition to these, there are also important things for the masters of each restaurant to learn their skills.

This year, the chef industry union set the date of the twelfth of next month, less than half a month away, the chefs of each restaurant are riveting their strength to make a splash, and several masters here in the Hongpheasant Hall Bai Case have also hollowed out their minds to prepare.

Even though there was a gap between the masters of the red and white cases because of their fear of Du Liren on weekdays, they have now temporarily turned hostility into jade silk, and they have a posture of hatred and hatred.

Therefore, he worked as a master and became a handyman, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

In comparison, Ren Yan is quite leisurely.

Now she is still on the cusp of the storm, her identity is extremely embarrassing, she is not a handyman, nor is she a helper, and she has a stubble every day.

The examination at the end of the month was also banned, and it was only said that it was to avoid the limelight.

It's not busy, but it's not idle, there are people at the entrance of the hall who come to urge the tax, and she also follows the bookkeeper to deal with it.

The clerk of the Jingzhao Tax Bureau Office carried a briefcase, smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, counted the tax in person, and returned more than half of it when he carried it.

The clerk of Maitreya Buddha arched his hand and asked the account room to ask for a trick in front of the seventh master, and stuffed a silver dollar into Ren Yan's hand, saying that the director of the bureau loves Master Ren's craftsmanship, especially the eight treasure duck that nourishes the body, I don't know if there are other medicinal diets?

After a warm call, the person left.

The bookkeeper glanced at the silver dollar returned by Ren Yan, and shook his head with a smile: "You keep it, isn't it also the seventh master's?" ”

Ay!

Ren Yan didn't take this stubble: "Aren't all taxes fixed, we can't make up enough here, how can we make it?" ”

The account room smiled: "The quota is also set by the people themselves, where there is a loss, and if it is not enough, it can be made up elsewhere." They, the money in the coffin board can be pulled out! ”

Ren Yan sighed, put the silver dollar in his hand into the jade gourd, and said that the reward from the guest would be distributed to everyone when it was dark.

After this errand, she went to the back kitchen, and pondered the words of the Maitreya Buddha on the way.

Diet?

Medicinal diet is good, can't the white case also make medicinal diet?

Wherever the road is broken, she will continue from there!
