Xie Yunyan held the porcelain jar in his hand, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Madam, since Brother Qi doesn't welcome us, let's go back and enjoy this cured meat ourselves, right?"

"Lord Xie, please stay!" When Mrs. Qi heard the cured meat, she glared at Qi Cheng'an, and hurriedly stopped Xie Yunyan.

She stepped forward with a smile and snatched the porcelain jar from his hand, explaining, "It is an honor for my Qi Mansion to come to the Humble House!" ”

He handed the porcelain jar to Bai Zhi, grabbed Ning Shu's arm and said cordially: "It's windy outside, let's go in and talk." ”

Ning Shu didn't seem to see the-for-tat confrontation between Qi Chengan and Xie Yunyan, and entered the Qi Mansion very happily.

Xie Yunyan spread his hands and followed indifferently.

Qi Chengan stood alone in front of the main gate, stomping his feet in anger.

His eyelids had already begun to jump, and he always felt that Xie Yunyan's appearance would definitely follow!

Mrs. Qi couldn't wait to let Bai Zhi roast some cured meat, and before it was time to eat, the plate of cured meat was eaten by Mrs. Qi as a snack.

"Amazing, how do I think the taste you make is even better than Aunt Man's?"

Ning Shu smiled lightly, she didn't know how to cook at all.

To be able to make this cured meat, it is just to taste a few special herbs added to the cured meat last time.

The rest is still the experience gained from discussions with the cook.

Of the ten jars of cured meat, five cans were successful, and one can was added with "ingredients", which could not be eaten at all.

"It's just a gourd to draw a scoop, since Sister Zhu likes it, then I'll make more and send it to you another day."

Qi Chengan also felt that the cured meat was indeed the same as what Aunt Man did, and immediately forgot that Xie Yunyan was present, and smiled with satisfaction: "Mrs. Xie is really ingenious, Aunt Man's specialty can be made as long as she tastes it once." ”

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Qi's face suddenly turned cold, "You mean that I can't make it after eating it for more than a year, my heart is not good, and my hands are not lucky, right?" ”

Qi Chengan also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly coaxed Mrs. Qi and said: "Madame has been taking medicine, and her taste must have been stimulated by the medicine, otherwise with Madame's intelligence, she would have been able to make this cured meat a long time ago." ”

"That's pretty much it!" Mrs. Qi indifferently withdrew her gaze and asked Bai Zhi to bake another plate and bring it.

Qi Chengan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but in the corner of his eye, he saw that the corner of Xie Yunyan's lips seemed to have a mocking smile.

After glaring at Xie Yunyan with fierce eyes, Qi Chengan continued to hold the meat for Mrs. Qi.

Ning Shu suddenly sighed: "Actually, it's a coincidence that I can make these few portions of cured meat, and I don't know if it's right to put a few herbs, sister, why don't you invite Aunt Man to taste it, I still have some places to ask." ”

"Well, yes. Afu, you go and ask Aunt Man to come over. ”

Ning Shu hurriedly instructed Afu: "If the sister-in-law of the Ning family is also there, call them together." ”

"Yes."

Qi Chengan and Mrs. Qi didn't feel anything, and continued to eat cured meat.

Xie Yunyan's eyebrows raised, and he glanced at Ning Shu slightly.

I saw Ning Shu's eyes inadvertently glancing at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

After only a few moments, Aunt Man walked in with the wife of the eldest prince of Ning.

"The concubine has seen the second son, and the second young lady."

Mrs. Qi originally had a good impression of Aunt Man, not for anything else, just because she gave Mrs. Qi a whole year's worth of cured meat.

But Ning Shu's words made her feel like a fish in her throat.

I don't know if Aunt Man was intentional or unintentional.

"Aunt Man, you came just in time, this is Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie wants to ask about the production process of Aunt Xie's marinated meat."

"I see-" Aunt Man is a typical Jiangnan woman, and her gestures exude a faint sense of delicateness.

Her voice was also soft and weak, "If Mrs. Xie likes it, the concubine will make more next time, and send it to Xie's mansion, so as not to make it dirty by Mrs. herself-"

Ning Shu took out the porcelain jar that had been marked a long time ago and handed it to Bai Zhi, asking Bai Zhi to bake it quickly.

Then he smiled at Aunt Man and the young lady behind her, "I thought it tasted very delicious after eating it last time, no wonder Mrs. Qi was full of praise for Aunt Man's cured meat." ”

She got up and walked to Aunt Man's side, pulled her to sit at the table, and said lightly: "So after I went back, I also tried it according to that taste, and the success rate was only fifty percent." ”

"Auntie will help me take a look at it in a moment to see if there's anything missing from what I've made?"

From the moment Aunt Man first walked into the room, she smelled a familiar smell of meat in the air.

Judging from the taste alone, what Ning Shu did was naturally not much worse.

"The success rate of fifty percent is already very strong, and when the concubine first learned at that time, it took three months to learn it."

There were still a few pieces on the plate on the table, Ning Shu took a piece with new chopsticks and handed it to Aunt Man, "Aunt Man will taste it first, this is what I made, I always feel that it is a little sweeter than Aunt Man's." ”

Aunt Man held the wide sleeve in one hand, and took the piece of meat in her mouth very elegantly with the other, and the smile on her face spread as she ate.

"Very authentic! This is a folk delicacy in the concubine's hometown, but I didn't expect Mrs. Xie to make it even more delicious than the concubine's cooking, and there is no need to add or subtract anything. ”

At this moment, Bai Zhi also walked in with a new plate of meat.

Mrs. Qi eagerly picked up the chopsticks, and Ning Shu quickly stopped them.

She took the plate of meat, put the whole plate in front of Aunt Man, and said with a smile: "Then Aunt Man taste this again, this taste may be not much different from what Aunt Man did." ”

Aunt Man took a piece and tasted it without thinking, and as soon as the meat slice was eaten, her brows twisted unconsciously.

Raising his eyes slightly, he glanced at Ning Shu, and saw that Ning Shu was staring at him, so he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Ning Shu said again: "The young lady also tastes it, presumably you usually eat Aunt Man's cured meat, the young lady gives an opinion, what is the difference between this and Aunt Man's?" ”

The young lady didn't expect Ning Shu to let her taste it, so she picked up the chopsticks.

"Don't!"

The meat in Aunt Man's mouth had not yet been completely swallowed, and she pressed the hand of the eldest young lady in a panic.

Among the people present, except for Ning Shu and Xie Yunyan, everyone was taken aback by Aunt Man's sudden actions.

"What's wrong? This meat sister-in-law can't eat it? Mrs. Qi asked stunned.

Aunt Man knew that she was out of shape, and smiled awkwardly: "It's the concubine's rudeness, Xiulian has used a lot of snacks in my yard just now, and the concubine is worried that she will eat too much food——"

A trace of incomprehension flashed in the eyes of the eldest young lady, and she immediately smiled at Aunt Man's words: "Yes, yes, I have eaten a lot just now." ”

"A few less pieces would not hurt, would it? Or does Aunt Man think there's something unclean in my cured meat? ”

Ning Shu's slightly cold voice came faintly, Aunt Man's figure was stunned, and she looked at Ning Shu in disbelief.

Does she know it all?
