Shao Ming squatted in front of the stove to add fire, but his eyes were unblinking looking at the knife shadow flying up and down in Ran Yan's hand, coupled with Ran Yan's cold and serious face, Shao Ming felt that his scalp was numb, and he said in his heart, isn't it just cooking, as for being so serious?

Ran Yan has learned a lot of cooking skills, Lu cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Su cuisine, Western food, all roughly understand some, all have a few dishes, for her, cooking is like anatomy, as long as all aspects are grasped just right, not afraid of no results.

Shao Ming looked at the crystal jade flower that was born from Ran Yan's hand, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and even forgot to add fire.

"Add firewood." Ran Yan reminded that there was still milk soup and eight-treasure cloth bag chicken in the pot, and the fire could not be broken.

Shao Ming withdrew his soul and hurriedly added fire.

As the saying goes, the mouth of a cannibal is soft, and Ran Yan made up his mind to use all his skills to break the taste of the cheap master in one fell swoop. Therefore, the dishes made are both new and colorful, and they have put a lot of effort into it.

Wu Xiuhe squatted on the porch and squinted in the sun, suddenly smelled a pungent fragrance, his eyes opened slightly, and looked at the small kitchen. The sound of stabbing and lala came from inside, and with the aroma of hooking people's gluttonous insects, Wu Xiuhe swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely.

After waiting for a moment and a moment, there was still no intention of serving the food, Wu Xiuhe's deflated stomach gurgled and screamed, hesitated for a long time, tiptoed into his sandal shoes, and quietly came over.

Wu Xiuhe leaned in front of the window, inhaled the aroma deeply, swallowed his saliva again, and peeked through the gap.

After looking at it for a long time, but he never saw the direction of the stove, he was in a hurry, and was about to poke a hole in the window paper with some spit, but the door creaked open at this time.

Wu Xiuhe was still in the posture of wanting to poke the window, and the two faced each other, Wu Xiuhe put his hands behind his back without blushing and heartbeat, coughed dryly, and said, "The sun is big on the corridor, I'll come here to avoid the sun." ”

"Master, let's eat." Ran Yan was amused in her heart, and at the same time felt that she had chosen to cook correctly.

No matter how eager Wu Xiuhe was, he still had to remain decent, straightened out his crumpled clothes, and paced into the hall.

Shao Ming followed Ran Yan in with a tray, and when Wu Xiuhe sat down on the table, Ran Yan personally served a few dishes one by one.

In the delicate plain porcelain plate, a few emerald green "leaves" hug a cluster of jade-like flowers, the petals are complex, almost transparent, you can clearly see the light blue veins inside, next to this cluster of flowers, orange-red fried prawns, it looks crispy and delicious. Ran Yan said, "This is stuffy prawns." ”

Another plate of golden slices is set off by a reddish-brown and oily soup, exuding a rich meaty aroma. Ran Yan said, "This is ginger hot chicken." ”

"This dish is Wensi tofu soup." Then he brought out a white light bowl, and the thin white in the transparent soup of egg yolk was like a flower blooming in an instant, scattering from the center to all sides, and dotted with bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, which was clear and beautiful.

Next is a white bowl, the lid is lifted, the flesh inside is shiny, crystal clear, and the fragrance is bursting, "This is ...... Braised pork. "In fact, it is the practice of Dongpo meat, but the famous Mr. Su Dongpo was not born yet, so Ran Yan changed his name.

And then the milk soup Babao cloth bag chicken is much more plain, but the thick soup makes people can't help but be aroused by their appetite at a glance.

There are also a few appetizing and refreshing side dishes.

Although there are many dishes, each portion is not much, such as Dongpo meat, in a small bowl, there are only two pieces the size of a small egg, and the fried prawns are also carefully jumped out of six evenly sized and beautiful appearances.

I don't know if it's because the ingredients in the Tang Dynasty are all green food, and the effect of a few dishes is far beyond Ran Yan's own expectations.

"Master, it's not suitable to eat greasy food in summer, so the amount of preparation is a little small, and I don't know what kind of flavor you like, can you try it first?" Ran Yan turned a blind eye to Wu Xiuhe's straight gaze, and handed over a pair of chopsticks with both hands.

Wu Xiuhe took the chopsticks and chopsticks, and immediately sandwiched the shiny red Dongpo meat in the light white bowl, Ran Yan knew in his heart, it seems that this cheap master loves pork for ten minutes.

Dongpo meat is fat but not greasy, crispy and fragrant, and it melts in the mouth, so that Wu Xiuhe almost swallowed his tongue, and after taking a bite, the ** in his mouth was even better, and the saliva almost dripped out. But in order to take care of the dignity of the whole body, I had to take a reluctant look, and turned to the hot chicken with ginger sauce.

The chicken nuggets were deboned, each piece was cut in size, the muscles were tender but not rotten, the rich ginger flavor and the chicken aroma were just right, Wu Xiuhe was happy while eating, thinking to himself, his apprentice confiscated the mistake, just with this skill, he can sweep the whole of Suzhou, it is really a treasure!

Shao Ming was allowed to eat some of everything in the kitchen, but when he saw the food on the table at this time, he still secretly swallowed his saliva.

Ran Yan personally gave Wu Xiuhe a small bowl of tofu soup, and was just about to hand it over, but he heard Xing Niang's call outside, "Lady!" ”

Ran Yan glanced at Wu Xiuhe and said, "Master, use it slowly, I'll go out first." ”

This is exactly what Wu Xiuhe wanted, if Ran Yan was not there, he would simply grab it directly, how could he use chopsticks to be so troublesome! In a hurry, his old man's heart was on fire.

After Ran Yan walked out, Wu Xiuhe looked at Shao Ming and said lightly, "You can go down too." ”

Shao Ming responded, bowed down and retreated, and said in his heart, there are still some in the kitchen, so I have to hurry up and take it away, and go home to give my sister and my mother a taste!

Ran Yan walked out of the hall and saw Xing Niang standing at the gate of the courtyard, constantly moving, showing that she was a little anxious.

"Xing Niang?" Ran Yan called.

"Lady." Xing Niang greeted her, her eyes hurriedly swept over Ran Yan's casual dress, and said, "Yin Sanniang has come to visit you, and she is in the hall, so hurry up, change your clothes, don't be rude." ”

Ran Yan thought that there must be a smell of oil smoke on his body, and he didn't object, and when he looked back at Shao Ming coming out, he explained, "You go back and tell the master, I'll go back to the courtyard and come to see him in the evening." ”

Shao Ming originally thought that Ran Yan was as arrogant as other noble girls, but after contact, he felt that although she looked more serious in her description, she had a good temperament, so he had a good impression of her, and when he heard the order, he immediately replied, "Don't worry, lady, I'll go and say it." ”

Back in the courtyard, Ran Yan first went to the bedroom to wash his face, changed into a set of comfortable clothes, and his black hair was loosely nested in a bun, revealing a little lazy and casual taste. Xing Niang probably thought that only gentle and dignified was good, and she made all the outfits for Ran Yan, and spared no effort to cover up the cold and serious aura on her body.

Ran Yan has never objected, she is not a person who likes to follow the rules, she used to have no time to dress up, but now that she has the conditions, it is good to change some things.

After packing up, when I arrived at the hall, I saw Yin Miao sitting on the seat in a bea-green skirt with a breast-length gauze, her black hair pulled into a delicate cone, dotted with a few silver flowers, her fair skin was like fine mutton fat jade, her pointed chin was connected to her slender neck, her chest revealed a small piece of white skin, and a few strands of loose hair were gently brushed by the summer breeze, naughtily scratching her cheeks. Yin Miao noticed that someone was coming in, raised her head slightly, stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, looked at Ran Yan and smiled lightly, lowered her head and put the cup in her hand before getting up elegantly and said, "Ah Yan." ”

This is really a delicate and elegant woman everywhere! Ran Yan couldn't help but admire in her heart, saying that the daughter of the Yin family was a model, but she was not particularly rigid.

Ran Yan smiled slightly, looking at her mist-like watery pupils, for fear that she would not be gentle enough to scare her, so she slowed down her voice and said, "How is the misty body?" But what's uncomfortable? ”

"It's just that I was scared that day, and I felt a little uncomfortable, but it's nothing, it's much better now." Yin Miao's voice was as soft as a human.

Ran Yan couldn't help but think of when she was on the water pavilion, she proposed to play hide and seek with a smile on her face, and she always felt that it was a little different from the character she was showing now, but it was not ruled out that there were many people that day, and she was in a good mood.

Ran Yan's gaze swept over her pale pink nails, and asked, "Miao Miao came to me today, but is there something?" ”

Yin Miao smiled slightly, "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Then he seemed to think of something, lowered his eyes, and said sadly, "Ah Yan Mo wants to blame me, you know, the daughter of our Yin family is even managed to make friends, you were sent to Zhuangzi by Uncle Ran, and he seemed to have forgotten your daughter, and you were given up by the Ran family in Suzhou City, I ...... Naturally, I can't come to see you. ”

Ran Yan was stunned, she didn't expect Yin Miao to say this so directly. Under such a strict upbringing in Yin Mansion, Yin Miao Miao can say such things calmly, either because she really cherishes her as a friend, or because it is a strategy to win her favor, or Yin Miao herself has a kind of rebellious psychology against Yin Mansion's strictness. Ran Yan couldn't see which one it belonged to for a while.

"That's the way it is, and I don't blame anyone." Ran Yan thought to herself, most of the reason why the original owner was in such a miserable situation was because he was too cowardly, and he really couldn't complain.

"Ah Yan is different from before, and he will definitely be able to live a better life in the future." Yin Miao said sincerely.

When Ran Yan heard her sincerity, she didn't think much about it anymore, and said with a smile, "I hope I can accept your good words." ”

Xing Niang brought two plates of pastries, Zhuangzi does not often entertain guests, Xing Niang only made one or two things for spare, fortunately made a pot this morning, otherwise now you can only invite guests to tea.

"Ah Yan, is your maid okay now?" Yin Miao asked.

Ran Yan Yuguang paid attention to Yin Miao's expression and said, "Now that the situation has stabilized, there is no danger to my life, I woke up last night...... I don't know who she provoked to kill her. ”

Yin Miao sighed, "There was such an incident in the Yin Mansion, and two people were killed inexplicably at once, and the grass and trees in the family have been soldiers for the past few days, which is really frightening, but fortunately, the late green girl is fine, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to you." ”

"You don't have to blame yourself." Ran Yan took a sip of tea, raised her head and asked as if unintentionally, "Are your maidservants by your side that day?" ”

Referring to the situation that day, Yin Miaomiao's face turned a little pale, and said, "Two days ago, Wei Niang helped A-Niang prepare a tea banquet, and said that there were not enough people to know the ceremony, so she borrowed a maid beside me to use it for a few days. Didn't expect ......"

"Wei Niang?" Ran Yan recalled it and found that he had no impression of this person.

Yin Miao nodded and said, "It's Aye's concubine room the year before last, A-Niang's health is not good, so Aya asked her to help take care of some tedious things in the house." ”

Wei Niang...... At the tea banquet that day, Ran Yan didn't notice this person. was thinking about it, but heard Shao Ming shouting, "Lady! Wife! Oh no! ”

Ran Yan smiled apologetically at Yin Miao, got up and walked to the porch, and saw Shao Ming rushing over like a gust of wind, "Lady, Doctor Wu was choked, I helped him shoot for a while, but the situation is getting worse and worse, and his face is a little blue!" ”
