Chapter 110: Braised River Catfish

"It's a fart, you know it's yes all the time!"

Second Master Gu was annoyed again, lit a cigarette and took a puff, and looked at Du Liren through the smoke: "Things that are not enough to succeed and more than to fail, in the past, they were all fed to the dogs, this will not only be not good, but also put the master in the pit, see that you are tired of life!" ”

Du Liren became shorter and shorter: "Second master, it turned out that Liu Zi was interested in seeing the color, and he couldn't find the north after saying a few words to Xiao Mei, so he shook my plan, and it was all a woman's mistake." ”

Second Master Gu became more and more disdainful: "Young Master is here, women make mistakes all day long, I think you have cleaned up women, you can be considered capable!" ”

Du Liren sneered: "Then where do I dare, Ren Yan is the person on the tip of the seventh master's heart, and when he turns around, he doesn't dare to bother the second master to save me, for fear of ruining the brotherhood between you and the seventh master!" ”

Gu Tingwang took a puff of cigarette and sneered: "The old man and the old lady can't even look down on Cheng Huiyu, can you still look at your three rotten?" Put your heart in your belly, don't say that she is the top of her heart, even if she is the emperor at the top, she can't enter the door of the Gu family. ”

Du Liren sighed: "Then I understand, the second master will wait and see!" ”

The second master sighed: "What's good, that's also my brother who slipped down a seedling, if it weren't for looking at the face of the old man and the old lady, he would have been beheaded in the name of a revolutionary party, this is hard!" ”

He was not ashamed to speak, and Du Liren lowered his head and listened.

After Gu Tingwang finished speaking, he slapped him twice on the face with his gloves: "Today is for the sake of saving me in the past, spare your life, and then dare to have a next time, I said that Hongpheasant Hall can't reach you in the end, and my life will have to fly away from you!" ”

Du Liren replied again and again: "Yes, yes, Second Master Xie." ”

Gu Tingwang's entourage covered the car door for him, and joked lightly: "Then the master will come here first to congratulate Master Du...... Du shopkeeper's! ”

The car left him behind, and Du Liren stood in the boundless night, turning his face to look at the Pheasant Hall.

The three-story building with the eaves and corners, carved beams and painted columns, is splendid, and people with status have to pay three respects here, which is to see the face of the seventh master of the Gu family.

But it doesn't matter, it won't be long before this Pheasant Hall will change owners.

Even if you go to the top as a cook, you will always be fluttering in the muddy water, and it is better to be the master by yourself to give people a look. It was precisely because he had had enough of cold eyes for most of his life that he agreed to Gu Tingwang's conditions.

In exchange, he asked for the Hung Pheasant Hall.

Du Liren retracted his eyes, walked out of the alley, and greeted the rickshaw.

The Pheasant Hall was left behind him, the doors and windows were closed, and the men who were patrolling the night were napping in the front yard or the back yard, and there was no sound.

Seeing the light in the east, Ren Yan rubbed his eyes and entered the Hongpheasant Hall, and greeted the guys at the entrance of the hall and ran to the back kitchen.

The head of the hall came from the backyard, walked to the opposite face, and pulled her: "Xiao Liuzi has quit." ”

"So suddenly!" Ren Yan's last bit of sleepiness flew away.

The head of the hall pouted: "As soon as it opened, the door where the brother entered with the deed compensation, the shopkeeper checked the household registration certificate, and the photo of the Baojia number on the top was clear, how could there be a reason not to let go?" ”

"But why?"

"Go home and take care of the fields."

In October, what kind of fields should be taken care of in such a hurry? Because of Xiao Tong's gunshot wound, Ren Yan didn't dare to ask more, just listen to it as a lively person.

She spent a whole day, and she probably couldn't get rid of Gu Tingwen. But going deeper into the depths shouldn't be something she asked, just say it, for safety, he didn't say that she wouldn't mention it again.

Xiao Liuzi's matter passed so silently, and when she met Xiao Mei in the hospital, she still remembered this young man full of witty words, knowing that it was the boss's regret that people left Beijing City, and said that such a friend was also dispersed.

Ren Yan remembered the secret in it and didn't talk to her deeply. After leaving the hospital, I took a shortcut to my home.

In the narrow alley, walking in front of the head is an old lady, pushing a wheelbarrow and staggering; The more she looked, the more familiar she became, and she stepped forward to take a hand: "Mother-in-law? ”

Mother-in-law Tofu twisted her face: "Yo, isn't this a girl?" ”

"It's not me, why did you come here, so far away from home."

"It's almost winter, my legs are inconvenient, and I want to come to the hospital to find a serious Langzhong to take a look and have no money." Mother-in-law Tofu patted her pocket and smiled, "I found a tolangzhong, and I pasted a few pastes of ointment to make do with a winter." ”

Ren Yan was speechless, and pushed the cart back to Tofu Hutong for her.

The mother-in-law went home and went to the pit crookedly, and her legs were so painful that she couldn't move: "We are not outsiders, so my mother-in-law won't greet you." ”

Ren Yan put down the book with a smile, poured two bowls of hot tea well, drank one bowl by himself, tied his braids and went to the kitchen to cook for his mother-in-law.

When her mother-in-law appeared, she had already cut and washed the catfish, slipped small pieces of fish in the shape of tiles, and put them in a bowl with starch.

She looked up and smiled: "I saw that there were fish in the water tank, and there was a bean dregs rake in the basket, and the fish was stewed for you to eat." ”

Since the last fish soup, she seems to be less afraid of the kitchen; I forced myself to wander around in the sound of pots and pans all day long, and the fear in my heart was gone, and I didn't know when I would start to carry the knife and not tremble.

Although Baird did not approve of her extreme approach, he had to praise her as a miraculous patient.

The mother-in-law sat on the bench with her legs stretched and looked at her: "I haven't tasted your craft for a long time, and now you are also a master." ”

"You look up to me, it's not counted."

Ren Yan talked, and the work in his hands did not stop. Moved the mold box and rested it on the stove, and lifted the top layer of straw, revealing the pale red okara rake evenly spread in the grass layer.

Mother-in-law smiled again: "Moldy bean dregs or you will teach me when you came in February, some time ago there were dozens of boxes of mold, all of them were sold, and the small restaurant wanted the most, but I made a lot of money." ”

"That's a good idea." Ren Yan cut a few pieces of bean dregs and roasted them in a hot iron pot, "If it's colder, it won't be moldy, and when the spring is about to warm, you will be busy." ”

The mother-in-law said, "You are a capable man, and they all listen to you." I see you're holding a book, aren't you a cook? ”

"No, I went to the girls' school after work."

The mother-in-law didn't understand, and she didn't ask: "Oh, it's good to read, and it's insightful to read." ”

I haven't seen you for a long time, and last time I made a big red face, and no one had anything to say.

This will be Ren Yanzheng scooped up the baked bean dregs and cut them into long strips, and the pot was heated with oil and sauce and spicy seeds to fry the fragrance, there was no soup here, only a scoop of cold water was filled, so that the bean dregs and ingredients could be boiled in the pot.

Boiled the water, simmered the beans, and then put the bean dregs in a large soup bowl.

The fish pieces and garlic grains are soaked in bean-flavored soup and simmered for half an hour, and the soup is poured with a thin layer of glazed rice and simmered into the bean dregs. The thick broth is topped with a layer of green coriander grains and bright red chili powder, wrapped in fish pieces and served in a soup bowl.

The sauce is slightly thick, and the spicy taste runs out of the tender red soup with a light fish fragrance, scurrying around in the small room, and the door curtain is lifted, rushing to Xiangsheng who has just entered the house.

Xiangsheng suddenly saw the eldest girl in the house, she didn't know how to move her hands and feet, and stood at the door and smiled: "Ren, Miss Ren is here!" ”

A young man followed here, and it was inconvenient for her to stay any longer, so she washed her hands and picked up the book to leave.

The mother-in-law sat at the table and rushed outside and ordered: "It's dark and the road is far away, send Miss Ren back." ”

There was a rickshaw parked at the door, and Xiangsheng scratched his head embarrassedly: "Go home to see my aunt first, eat a steamed bun and then go back to the car shop, no, I don't know that Miss Ren is also there." ”

Ren Yan smiled and explained his intentions: "This will see that my mother-in-law is fine, and she is leaving, the outside is bright, and you are busy." ”

"I'll send you." Xiangsheng stepped into the handlebar, pulled the car to the door, and looked at her eagerly.

Ren Yan smiled and refused: "Mother-in-law's legs and feet are not good, you take care of it while you have time, I don't care." ”

"Miss Renβ€”"

He called her behind him, looked around again, and whispered: "The master who pulled the last trip before getting off work yesterday seems to be your master, with a knife face, who went to the east of the city." ”

Ren Yan sighed: "Is he relying on your car money?" ”

Xiangsheng shook his head: "I think he came by car, and the car is still the second master of the Gu family, and the two of them had a big quarrel in the alley in front of Hongpheasant. ”

Ren Yan frowned: "What happened later?" ”

"I asked a lot, his boss was unhappy, saying that women are troublesome, and men have a lot of things, and if they talk again, they won't give the car money, so I didn't dare to ask again."

Ren Yan was silent, and he always felt that there was something wrong here.

Xiangsheng asked again: "Master Fu doesn't want to see you, I just want to ask Miss Ren, you, how are you lately?" ”

Ren Yan smiled and bowed: "I'm fine, thank you." I know about this, and you don't have to tell anyone about it. ”

"I know, I know!" The girl wants to be faced, and she can't let outsiders know if she is not treated by the master, so Xiangsheng nodded vigorously.

He stood at the door, watched the girl walk away, and after a long time of silly amusement, he entered the door.

The mother-in-law was sitting in the house, waiting for his family to come to dinner, and she looked at people so quickly, and said that she was not angry.

Xiangsheng smiled innocently and went to the kitchen to carry the soup bowl to take care of his aunt for dinner; The soup bowl was lifted, and there were four silver dollars stacked underneath.

The mother-in-law grabbed the money, her eyes were red, and she sighed for a while: "Good girl, it's a pity that our family is not worthy of others." ”

Ren Yan was already hungry when he got out of school, and he made a bowl of stewed catfish with bean dregs, and his stomach was full of gluttonous worms; She rushed all the way into the courtyard and frightened Mother Zhao, who was sweeping the leaves under the tree.

"You can slow down, it's just a round face, and then smash it flat!" Mother Zhao rushed in her direction again, "Qi'er is in the kitchen and made what you love to eat." ”

"Got it!"

She put the book down, jumped out and went into the kitchen, and didn't see anyone calling first: "Tingwen-"

I wanted to flutter my wings and rush towards the person, hugged my waist behind my head, and rubbed my face against his back.

Gu Tingwen was slanting the blade of the white fish, and was hit by her, but the knife edge slashed steadily.

He was speechless, and the two gentlemen who were standing in the corner of the house drinking tea opened their mouths first: "There is such a well-behaved and clever milk swallow by the side of the seventh master?" ”

Ren Yan opened his eyes, and Yu Guangzheng looked at Liang Fu and Zhang Yuenian with a malicious smile on their faces: "...... Good evening. ”

The two gentlemen took off their hats and saluted, and then left with a smile: "Excuse me, I'll see you later." ”

When the person left, Ren Yan covered his face on Gu Tingwen's back: "Why didn't you remind me earlier?" ”

The Seventh Master stood there innocently, looking down at the thin arms around his waist, and smiled: "Rouge-"
