Chapter Seventy-Two: Making Fake Dishes
"Who, Chastity?" As soon as Xu Yue poured the "poisonous fetal chicken soup", he heard someone shouting outside the door, and thought that someone else had discovered it.
"Lao He, ask me what I want to buy today?"
"What? Do they really think you're a cook? I'll go to them!"
Zhang Zezhen looked at Xu Yue's indignant face, she really couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly stopped her and said, "No, isn't your father going to eat that secret recipe dish? They don't know what ingredients to buy, so they come and ask."
"It's strange, why did Xu Mingyuan taste this Feng Fei Wish so much?"
"Looks like that's what he's for."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Zezhen put it in Xu Yue's ear and whispered to him what he thought?
"Really?" Xu Yue was shocked when she heard this.
"Shhhh Be quiet!"
"And what are you going to do?"
"I'll figure it out, and when it's time to eat, you just eat as it comes, without any surprised and confused expressions and words."
Xu Yue nodded obediently.
Subsequently, Zhang Zezhen found a pen and paper from Xu Yue, and according to his memory, wrote down the ingredients and meat needed for this dish, and then found Lao He.
"Old Ho?"
"The young lady is here?"
"It's what I need to buy today, and I've written it all on it."
"Okay, young lady, I'll ask someone to go out and buy it."
Seeing Lao He go out, Xu Yue whispered to the lady, "How did you buy all the right ingredients? Isn't that jumping into the pit by yourself?"
"Don't worry, just do as I say."
Seeing the lady's sworn appearance, Xu Yue didn't ask any more.
"By the way, the most important thing for you now is to study hard, and in two days, you will be going to visit Teacher Lu, but you can't ask three questions, it's too embarrassing."
"How is this possible? How could I do such a rebellious thing?"
"Then hurry back to study!"
"That's what the lady urges."
The two returned to their room with a smile and a smile, and Xu Yue also found a scientific research bibliography that had been dusty for many years from under the bed.
"So much ash on the book? How long has it been since you've watched it?"
"It's been three years!"
"Three years! Don't men all like fame and fortune? Why aren't you interested in any of that?"
"Fame and fortune are trivial matters, but who doesn't want to be a pillar of talent and share worries for the country, it's just ......"
"How can you speak halfway, man? But what?"
"It's just that Xu Mingyuan always interferes by force, so I want to open it, what's the good of fame and fortune? It's better to learn from Tao Yuanming and be at ease."
"What does it have to do with Xu Mingyuan when you participate in the scientific expedition?"
"You forgot? I also have a younger brother who is also going to take part in the scientific expedition."
"What does your brother's scientific expedition have to do with you? Can we do it in one go, you're going to kill me in a hurry!"
Xu Yue looked at Zhenzhen's angry appearance, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment, so she pretended to be serious and said, "Do you want to listen?"
Zhang Zezhen nodded.
"If you want to hear it, don't you beg me?"
"Xu Yue, don't toast and don't eat and drink!"
"Huh? I warn you, this is not a begging attitude!"
"Humph! I won't listen to me, old lady!" Zhang Zezhen turned her head angrily and ignored Xu Yue.
"Don't you really listen? It's going to be a great thing to come by!"
When Zhang Zezhen heard the word wonderful, he looked at Xu Yue again and said, "Is this true?"
"Of course, and it's a secret you want to know."
After hearing this, Zhang Zezhen immediately changed his face, smiled, and said coquettishly: "Husband, you and I were originally cultivators in our previous lives, why should we be angry and angry? Tell me your secret today, and I will take care of you with all my heart one day, shall you?"
"Well, that's it
It sounds really fascinating, but I don't know how much I can trust you?"
"Of course it's a perfect score, I'm so sincere to you, can't you see it?"
"Tell me what, and if it's true, I'll tell you the secret you want to hear."
After thinking about it, Zhang Zezhen didn't seem to have done anything beneficial to Xu Yue, but she still quibbled and said, "Mr. Teaching's matter is what I prepared for you."
"That's because you blew the teacher away, and you couldn't find anyone, so you found me!"
"Uh...... And I made a phoenix wish for you with my own hands, you are the first person to taste this dish!"
"Really? How can I remember that it is suitable for Chu Ming to taste together, besides, the first time you did it, it was so that the two of us could test the poison!"
"This, that's not what you can say, can you? Forget about it, for example, I resist all obstacles just to marry you, and that always moves you, right?"
As soon as she said this, Xu Yue said angrily, "Ask yourself, are you really trying to marry me? No other thoughts?"
"Well, this, that, that's it, come, drink saliva."
Xu Yue: ......
"Husband, I'm still sincere to you, right?"
"How did you have the courage to say that?"
"You don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, it's true that I married you, right? It's true that my whole family treats you very well, right?"
"Well, for their sake, I won't be like you, so I'll tell you everything I know!"
"Husband, don't worry, I will definitely be good to you in the future, except for you, I will never have an affair with a second man!"
"I hope you can keep your promise!"
"A must! Let's talk about it, what's going on with you and Xu Mingyuan and Xu Chang?"
"Xuchang, you have also met a few times, and have been in contact, he is actually a child who does not learn and has no skills, although Xu Mingyuan invited the best gentleman to guide him, but Xuchang ignored it at all, it is not impossible for him to want high school."
"Then Xu Mingyuan might as well cultivate you."
"I think he had that idea in the first place, but after that incident, everything changed."
"What's the matter?"
"One day, I wanted to go to his room to find some books to read, and I happened to meet a stranger at the door who entered his room, and I thought I should wait at the door and wait for the man to go, and then I would go in."
Zhang Zezhen listened very attentively.
"But I overheard that person at the door saying to Xu Mingyuan that his matter was discovered by the people above, so he could only stop trading."
"What the hell is going on?"
"To be honest, I really didn't hear you, because when I walked over, they were already in. I walked over and listened to what was said, but not to the one in front of me."
"Were you discovered by Xu Mingyuan?"
"Hmm. To be precise, it was Xuchang who harmed."
"What do you mean by that?"
"He happened to come over and shouted my name. After Xu Mingyuan heard it, he quickly opened the door, saw me at the door, and asked me what I heard."
"You didn't tell him, did you?"
"No, I subconsciously shook my head and said I had just arrived and was going to take some books back to read."
"Needless to say, a suspicious person like Xu Mingyuan will definitely not believe it, no matter whether what you say is the truth or not."
"Clever! So, from then on, he wouldn't let me go into his study to get some classic books, but used some idle books to pass me, and finally, seeing that there was no hope, I gave up."
"Why don't you ask your mother for money to buy books?"
"My mother's money is all given by Xu Mingyuan, and the monthly money is fixed."
"Impossible? Your mother is dressed in brocade and satin, and she is beautiful when she goes out to meet people, how can she not have extra money?"
"My mother is always followed when she goes out, especially after that incident, Xu Mingyuan will give the money to the housekeeper or Xiaoju, so that they can keep an eye on my mother, if there is an extra expense, he will be the first
I know for a while."
"Isn't Xiaoju your mother's person?"
"Hehe, there is no me and my mother in this family, the only scholar is still the one who grew up with me since childhood, and everyone else is Xu Mingyuan's eyeliner."
"In this way, it means that Xiaoju sent me medicine, which was actually acquiesced by Xu Mingyuan."
"That's right! Moreover, from then on, Xu Mingyuan tried his best to train Xuchang to participate in the scientific examination, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire famous teachers."
"No, no, this logic is not right." Zhang Zezhen shook her head and denied Xu Yue's idea.
"What's wrong?"
"Xu Mingyuan knows very well in his heart that Xuchang is a dou who can't be helped, and I usually don't see him particularly fond of Xuchang, but he is willing to spend money on him. His true purpose should have something else hidden."
"According to what you say, Xu Mingyuan wants to get some benefits from you."
"Yes, and this benefit is definitely not as simple as Jinyulou."
"That's ......"
As soon as Xu Yue wanted to ask something, he heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Young Master, Young Madam, the ingredients have been bought, see when you have time to do it?"
"Let's go, let's go cook first, the people take food as the sky, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"You stay here to study, eat, let's go to the street to buy books, Xu Mingyuan doesn't spend money on you, I can, buy books as you like."
"Then thank you, lady!" When Xu Yue heard this, she laughed happily like a child.
Zhang Zezhen followed Lao He to the kitchen and checked the ingredients they bought, and there were basically no errors, so he was relieved.
Although the ingredients were correct, Zhang Zezhen adjusted the grams of the ingredients, reducing the amount of a large number of herbs, and instead increasing the amount of some side dishes.
In this way, even if there is a difference in the taste of Xu Mingyuan, he can't say anything. After all, she didn't know much about this dish, and if she adjusted the recipe, it was likely to cause poisoning, and she couldn't afford to kill someone.
But if you just reduce the amount of medicinal herbs, there will be no problems.
"Let's all go out first! I'll cook this dish alone, and you can share the rest of the dishes, and you can do what you're good at."
"Yes, young lady."
Zhang Zezhen put things into the oil pot in turn according to the order of cooking for Lu Gaozhi yesterday, and then put them into the dishes after the herbs are cooked, so that the toxicity in the medicine will be removed by high temperature, and it will definitely not harm people, this is the taste......
Half an hour later, Zhang Zezhen was ready, she served the dishes, and then went to check the progress of the others.
"Are you all ready?"
"It's done, young lady."
"Alright, let's prepare the plate and serve."
"Yes."
"By the way, my dish must be set up better, this is the master's favorite dish, you don't want to keep it, the other dishes, leave more for everyone."
"Got it, young lady."
After the order, Zhang Zezhen went to ask Xu Yue to prepare for dinner.
Xu Mingyuan, Xu Zhao and Xu Chang came to the table in advance to wait. new
"Dad, mother!" Zhang Zezhen addressed them politely, Xu Yue also saluted symbolically, and then sat down.
"Zhenzhen, I heard that you bought a lot of ingredients, all to make this secret recipe?"
"Yes, Dad, this dish is more complicated in terms of ingredients and ingredients, not only does it require more things, but it is also more complicated to make."
"Well, I'm going to try it."
As he spoke, the people put the dishes on the table, and from the presentation, it was very beautiful.
"Taste Daddy, see how it tastes?"
Xu Mingyuan couldn't wait to take a bite, and just put it in his mouth and spit it out directly!
