The back kitchen was busy, and the people in the front hall were impatient to wait, and frequently sent people in to watch.

Wu Shuang was not in a hurry, as long as these people did not interfere with her cooking, she would not be out of sight, and her eyes were full of only the dishes in her hand.

Song Qingyuan has been helping by the side, and the two have a tacit understanding, almost as soon as Wu Shuang stretches out his hand, he knows what to hand over, which saves some of the time of cooking.

At first, the servant was full of disdain, thinking that the ingredients she used were just the most common things in this rural mountain village, and that there were no such good things as abalone and sea cucumbers, so she could make something amazing.

But gradually, the fragrance wafted out, and even the guests in the front hall couldn't help but guess what kind of fairy delicacies were being made inside, and the servant's face began to change, although he was still impatient, but he was no longer as contemptuous as before.

In a short time, four dishes, one soup and one dessert were put on a plate.

A few dishes entered the private room on the second floor one after another, and Wu Shuang couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart, staring closely at the door of Tianzi No. 1 room.

Song Qingyuan comforted her: "If he dares to come out later and say that the food you cook is not delicious, then he is deliberately here to find fault, and he will just throw it out." ”

This made Wu Shuang laugh, "It is said that a gentleman does not use his mouth." ”

"Although I admit that I am a gentleman, it is useless to deal with villains." Song Qingyuan clenched his fists and moved his muscles and bones, and he heard a tooth-aching "click" sound from his finger bones and wrist bones.

His fingers are slender, his phalanges are even, his complexion is fair and soft, far from being like he said, he is a person who will do it casually, but Wu Shuang knows that he was not just joking just now.

The people in the lobby are speculating about the taste of these dishes, and the sound of chirping seems to be the whole restaurant is noisy, and some of them refuse to leave after eating, and they refill the pot of tea to see the excitement.

After a long time, the upstairs box opened, and the maid inside invited Wu Shuang in, but only let Wu Shuang go in alone.

Song Qingyuan refused, "I'll be with you." ”

Wu Shuang took out a small bottle from his arms and said, "It's okay, if I see something wrong, I'll splash him with chili oil, and it's not too late for you to come in and save me when the time comes." ”

The maid on the side twitched the corners of her mouth and explained: "My lord is apologizing to the girl, and he has no bad intentions. ”

Their arrogance is obvious to all, and they dare not take it lightly.

Wu Shuang entered the private room, and saw a rich middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, with a shiny face, and when she saw her, she greeted her happily and asked, "Girl, do you have any plans to go back to the house with me to be a private chef?" Your craft is buried in this place, if you go back with me, you will enjoy all the glory and wealth. ”

Wu Shuang took two steps back, the more he listened to this, the more wrong it became, isn't this the usual rhetoric used by the rich master when he robbed the people's daughters, how to ask the cook to use this set of words.

Wu Shuang declined the invitation, but didn't say anything to death, "Thank you for your kindness, I still have a father to take care of at home, and I have no plans to leave my hometown, if I want to go out one day, I will definitely visit my lord's house first." ”

The rich man didn't force it, but left his address with a smile, and said: "The girl is a dragon and phoenix among people, and she won't be buried in this place for the rest of her life, so you must remember what you said today." ”

Wu Shuang nodded in response, took the reward he gave and left.

The rich man was very interested, not only did he not dismantle the sign of He Xinglou, but also specially found someone to make a plaque painted with gold paint before leaving, and hung it in the sound of gongs and drums.

Boss Wang smiled so much that the corners of his mouth reached the back of his ears, and he praised Wu Shuang as his lucky star.

The news of He Xinglou's day spread, but anyone who had a little more money wanted to come to He Xinglou to see Wu Shuang's craftsmanship.

For a while, in the ten miles and eight townships of Kaibei Town, it became the highest level of banquet to invite people to Hexinglou to eat a table of dishes made by Chef Wu.

Wu Shuang still has one table of dishes every day, but Boss Wang makes money and makes a lot of money.

Ergou has made some way to do business in the past few days, and said to Wu Shuang: "Sister Xiaoshuang, you see that the restaurant is so profitable, and your craftsmanship is so good, why don't you open a restaurant too." ”

Wu Shuang shook her head, she just loves to cook, and opening a restaurant and cooking are two different concepts.

The latter is much more complicated.

She said: "Opening a restaurant is not only about cooking, but also about renting land for decoration, selecting and purchasing goods, hiring people, settling accounts, and dealing with people's feelings. ”

When Ergou heard this, he felt reasonable.

Song Qingyuan heard this, patted the back of Ergou's head, and said: "Don't listen to your sister Xiaoshuang's nonsense, it will delay you to do big business in the future, you will pay more, and you will naturally get more in return, but it depends on what you ask for." ”

The second dog blinked and blinked, and he seemed to understand it.

As soon as he wanted to interject, he saw that Wu Shuang had already argued with Song Qingyuan, and the two of them refused to let anyone say a word.

Ergou thought that the two of them were really quarrelling, and they were so anxious to fight, but they were pulled by their sister, "The two of them are playing, what are you going to make a fuss." ”

She hurriedly pulled the younger brother away, who had no eyesight.

The more the matter of He Xinglou spread, the more and more gods were spread, because there were many people who saw it that day, and everyone had spread what it looked like, and some people even said that Wu Shuang was possessed by the god of the sea, and he came to punish the stranger who spoke wildly.

Shen Ruoran brought the prepared lunch, a few plates of ordinary fried vegetarian dishes, because he was reluctant to use oil, all of them seemed to have a clear soup and little water.

The guy in the pharmacy took a bite and sighed: "I heard that the cook of He Xinglou is a woman, and she is still a little girl, and I don't know who will be so lucky to marry her home in the future. ”

He pulled the dishes on the plate twice, and glanced at Shen Ruoran, "I don't know if I can cook." ”

Shen Ruoran endured his anger and didn't dare to say anything, so he had to continue to bring the rest of the dishes.

She also heard about He Xinglou, and many guests have come to talk about it recently, so she can't help but listen.

The female chef who cooks in He Xinglou, who else can she be besides Wu Shuang.

Shen Ruoran gritted her teeth, and said in her heart that this person is really ghostly, and she can often hear her name when she arrives in the county.

Suddenly, a guy ate a bite of food, immediately turned his head and vomited, kept drinking water, and it took a while to recover.

The man threw his chopsticks and yelled at Shen Ruoran: "You are planning to kill your brothers, you can taste how much salt is put in this dish yourself." ”

Shen Ruoran tasted it, and it was really salty and bitter.

She was pondering this matter while she was cooking at noon, because she was distracted, and she might have put the salt too heavy.

She quickly removed the dish and apologized to others while redoing it.

The big apprentice of the shopkeeper Zhao persuaded: "Okay, when you haven't made a mistake, don't always hold on to it, this dish is an ordinary home-cooked dish, if you want to eat the taste of the restaurant, you can spend your own money to go to the restaurant, what are you shouting here." ”

In the pharmacy, except for the shopkeeper Zhao, it was this big apprentice who spoke and took care of things, and as soon as he said this, everyone was silent and buried their heads in eating.

Shen Ruoran finished the dishes and served them again, and then sat at the table and ate silently.

Although her face was calm, her heart was overturned.

Why can Wu Shuang be praised, but she has to hide in this place to suffer this kind of wretchedness.

In the afternoon, she took time off to run to the antechamber and looked at the guests in the pharmacy.

Among them, there was a person who looked like a scholar, she observed for a long time, and sure enough, today this scholar came over again.

He took the prescription to the counter to grab the medicine, and looked around when the guy was dispensing the medicine, and inadvertently collided with Shen Ruoran's sight.

Shen Ruoran didn't dodge, smiled generously at him, but looked embarrassed at the scholar, nodded at her, and quickly looked away.

Shen Ruoran cleaned up decently today, although she was dressed in plain clothes, she had a brightly blooming wood hibiscus on her head, lining her tactfully and beautifully.

This book is handsome, and although the materials of the clothes on his body are not the best, they are also on the middle and upper grades, and they are newly cut.

I heard that this scholar's wife is not in good health, and she has to be sick for half of the year.

His family is well-off, and the old couple is old and has children, and they only hope that this son can study and enter the office, but the daughter-in-law can't carry it on her shoulders, and even the inheritance of the family has been delayed.

She inquired a few more words, and the young man in the store laughed at her, "What? Are you looking down on him? It's a pity that you look down on others, people don't necessarily look down on you, people are scholars, how can you marry someone who is right, you? I'm afraid I can't reach people. ”

The young man laughed to himself, and in the afternoon he ran away and his legs were numb.

Shen Ruoran was casually preparing the ingredients for dinner, and seeing him running in front of him again and again, the corners of his mouth seemed to have a little smile.

The eldest apprentice taught him, "Let you talk less and work more in the future, and trouble will come from the mouth, and illness will come from the mouth." ”

The young man responded with uh-huh, but he couldn't hear what these words meant, did this have anything to do with his stomach upset?

Shen Ruoran kneading her dough paused, and looked at the eldest apprentice, who just smiled at her, and then lowered his head and went to work on his own work.

Shen Ruoran couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, could he have seen something?

She knows some superficial medicinal properties, but her Taoism is still far away, and if she pays attention to it, it is not difficult to see through it.

Sure enough, at night, the eldest apprentice found an excuse to chat with her alone, and the words were all about that.

"Some medicines in the pharmacy may only make people vomit and diarrhea, but some medicines can kill people, if you are unhappy, it doesn't hurt to play tricks on him, but everything is too much, you have to be measured."

Shen Ruoran didn't speak, she mixed some laxative powder into the bowl of that cheap-mouthed guy at noon, but she didn't expect to be caught by the big apprentice.

In the dead of night, the candle flame was flickering, and the big apprentice suddenly stepped forward and put his hand on Shen Ruoran's hand.

Shen Ruoran got goosebumps and looked at him in horror.
