Chapter 291: The Kitchen
"Zhu Gongzi, please inside, please inside!"
"Boss Tian, you can come, it really makes my small courtyard shine!"
"Master Cen, you are my mentor, and I have half of the credit for this move!"
Hua Jizu stood at the door of the courtyard of the old flower family in a luxurious brocade gown, today's dress is much more decent than usual, and he has a jade crown on his head, although the jade quality is not transparent, but it is rare to see it in this small mountain village. And today, Hua Jizu is on the shelf, and the people who can let him personally open his mouth to receive are the squires and famous scholars in the town.
It is indeed rare to have a show talent in a double lift, not to mention that there is a free banquet, so there are many people in the town, and there are many people with heads and faces. Those squires who show off their talents naturally don't come to the door empty-handed, and they have to bring some gifts more or less. Looking at the people who smiled before saying a word and had a bit of flattery and flattery, Hua Jizu's heart is incomparably ironing!
Those classmates who are high up on weekdays, those who look down on him on weekdays, are not all accompanied by smiling faces and carrying gifts in person! Hmph, he has long known that his step-ancestor will have a day when he will raise his eyebrows, and he has long known that one day he will definitely be trampled under the feet of some people who despise him!
Look, this year, the Yamen of Fucheng has sent people, and his face is extraordinarily bright!
"Master Feng, it's been a long time! I didn't expect you to come back, but this time I must have a few drinks! Looking at the middle-aged man who got off the carriage, Hua Jizu greeted him with a smile.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" That Master Feng arched his hand towards Hua Jizu, looked left and right for a while, and a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed in his half-drooping eyes, but it was quickly taken away again. He had just the right smile on his face, neither alienated nor humble, "Today I am here to congratulate the Hua Juren, your Hua family is now a family of cultivation and study, and many people are envious!" ”
Hua Jizu led Master Feng to the courtyard, half holding his head high and not lowering his posture at all, he is now a lifter, this Master Feng is just a showman, nothing more than an errand in the mansion, his identity is not equal, how can he be grovel!
The gate of the courtyard of Lao Hua's house is very lively, Hua Qi is a good face, since he said that the flowing water table is naturally not one table or two tables, he has ten tables. If it couldn't be placed in the yard, it was directly placed outside, from the door of his yard to the old locust tree, a long shot.
The villagers of good deeds came early and took up a seat early. Looking at the carriages parked at the door, looking at the brightly dressed people who came out of the carriages, I couldn't help but smack my tongue, these are all big people they can't see and can't touch on weekdays, but today they can eat at the same table, it's a blessing for three lives!
Hua Biluo loves to join in the fun, and pulls Yu Jiamin to the old Hua's house for a while. Although the people of the Lao Hua family saw these two rivals, it seemed that because there were too many big people today, it was a festive day, so they completely ignored the two of them, and regarded them as ordinary villagers who came to eat together, and didn't take them seriously at all.
However, the old Hua family doesn't have the heart to deal with the two of them now, this own kitchen is not big enough, and the table of more than a dozen tables cannot be used at all, even if there is a chef from Guanlanju, it is useless. But the kitchen of their old flower house is so big, why don't they go to another house to borrow a kitchen? If you want to come to the entire mountain village, the biggest person in the kitchen is Hua Qingyan.
But before the idea of asking Hua Qingyan to borrow the kitchen was spoken, Hua Qi's face darkened and she resolutely disagreed. In the end, I had no choice but to build a big shed outside the yard and make a temporary kitchen.
The chefs of Guanlanju are all born in famous families, which are carefully selected by Jin Nanshu and Yun Shumo, where have I ever seen such a simple kitchen, just a shed, three stoves, and a board made of thick wood, this is simply a house wine! He was so angry that he wanted to leave the burden and quit, but when he thought of Guanlanju, he endured it again. can't lose the reputation of Guanlanju, and besides, their second owner is still in this mountain village, so they can't make it difficult for the second owner!
Fortunately, the chefs in Guanlanju are all really capable and have not been restricted by the environmental conditions.
Hua Biluo dragged Yu Jiamin to the temporary kitchen, looked at the environment Hua Biluo frowned, and came to the chef quite sympathetically: "Chef Yu, this kitchen is too simple!" ”
There are many times when Hua Qingyan is busy and doesn't have time to go to Guanlanju to cook new dishes, Hua Biluo has learned to do it for her, and Hua Biluo is familiar with the kitchen. Chef Yu raised his head and sighed: "Miss Biluo, to be honest, this environment is too bad, and I'm afraid that someone will learn this recipe." ”
What Chef Yu said is indeed a problem, how important is the recipe of Guanlanju, it is usually hidden, and no one knows except the shopkeeper chef, it is a treasure who makes a fortune. Look at the shed, not to mention the wind on all sides, there is no shelter at all, only a few straws on the top of the head. Any person who goes here can see the situation clearly.
Hua Biluo's brows furrowed, she saw that Chef Yu was still making side dishes, and hurriedly said: "Chef Yu, don't continue if you get the side dishes ready, I'll go to my sister and ask her opinion." As she spoke, she pulled Yu Jiamin again, "Jiamin Jiamin, you are guarding here, don't let anyone get close to this place." ”
"Okay, there you go." Yu Jiamin patted Hua Biluo's shoulder and promised to complete the task.
Hua Biluo ran home as fast as she could, pulled Hua Qingyan and ran back again, and along the way, she told the old Hua family what she had done, and criticized the open-air kitchen that was so simple that there was no one?
"This old flower family is too ignorant of the rules, how important is our Guanlanju recipe, they actually arranged such a kitchen, what do they treat us for."
Listening to Hua Biluo's complaints, Hua Qingyan looked over there, and the empty thatched kitchen was particularly eye-catching. Hua Biluo's words do make sense, if this recipe is passed out, one or two recipes don't matter, but this time the banquet is more than just one or two dishes. If this recipe is stolen, then Guanlanju will definitely suffer a heavy loss.
Of course, Hua Qingyan's arrival attracted the attention of the people at the banquet, thinking that this old Hua family and Hua Qingyan were atmospheric enough, and they were all like this, and they actually invited each other, and then Hua Qingyan also came with a big heart? As the saying goes, there is no absolute enemy in the face of this interest.
Hua Qingyan didn't care what these people were thinking, of course, she couldn't know. She walked up to Hua Qi and said coldly: "Please also ask Old Man Hua to arrange a hidden kitchen for my chef, this Guanlanju recipe can't make any mistakes." ”
Although Hua Qingyan's tone was cold, her attitude was quite gentle, and her request was reasonable. But when these words were heard in Hua Qi's ears, it became that Hua Qing's face was clearly shaking, saying in front of so many people that their old Hua family intended to steal the recipes of Guanlanju!
Hua Qi's face darkened, but he didn't plan to tear his face with Hua Qingyan in front of so many squires on such a day, "Today is the day of great joy for my old Hua family, and I also invite the girl to be accommodating, but the kitchen at home is too small for this chef to perform, so he will make this decision." ”
How is the kitchen of the old Hua family, Hua Qingyan naturally knows, it is true that it can't be used, but so what. "If Fang Zi is stolen by someone, will the old man be responsible?"
Hua Qi was really choked by Hua Qingyan's anger, and he even saw with his spare eyes that after Hua Qingyan said this, the people around him showed a trace of distrust. That look made Hua Qi feel that if this recipe was lost, the responsibility would be all on their old flower family, more like it was determined that the recipe was stolen by the old flower family!
Hua Qi took two breaths fiercely, calming down his surging anger, and just as he wanted to scold a few words angrily, he heard Hua Jizu behind him say: "Responsible, why do we need to be responsible?" This recipe belongs to your Guanlan Ju, and if you lose it, you don't take care of it yourself, so what does it have to do with my old flower family. Girl, I know that our two families have old grudges, but we are relatives, so you can't give my uncle a thin face? Let's spend these days in peace and joy? ”
"I'm laughing to death!" Hua Biluo rushed over from the side and firmly protected Hua Qingyan behind her, "Listen to what you mean, are we aggressive?" I figured it out, the chef was invited by you, and this kitchen was also built by you, and you invited them to hold a banquet. Who doesn't know how precious our Guanlanju recipe is, and it is inevitable that there will be that kind of stealing school that sees money! I think you're uneasy and kind to prepare this kitchen! ”
Hua Biluo's mouth is sharp, and Hua Jizu thinks that he is a man, and he doesn't care about this rough girl. But every sentence is on point, which makes the people around him talk endlessly, and looking at the kitchen next to it, which is unconcealed on all sides, he also has a little thought in his heart.
"I said, Huajuren, don't talk about my sister's relationship with your family, my sister has already branched out to set up her own door, and this name is not on your family tree, which kind of relative is this?" Hua Biluo glared at Hua Jizu, "Besides, does someone want to sell their children to bury them?" Do you think your relatives are called by maids? Your relatives of the old flower family, my sister can't afford to climb high! ”
"You! You, you! ......" Hua Qi was so angry that he subconsciously looked back at the squire in the courtyard, and the surprise on the faces of those people and the sudden slap on Hua Qi were slapped!
Although he has never studied, he also knows very well how much this court attaches great importance to the conduct of scholars, and now there are two people in their family and one talent, and they can't tolerate the slightest mistake! In the past, Hua Qi had ordered the family to raise their faces, everything had been revealed, and they were not allowed to mention it again in the future, so they couldn't ruin the future of the three of them! He didn't calculate that this banquet was a good day, because a kitchen actually shook these things out in front of Master Feng of the Yamen in front of the public!
