Chapter Seventy-Six: Xu Mingyuan Changed Hexagrams
Of course, Zhang Zezhen knew Xu Mingyuan's intentions, and the current situation was not good for him, so he could only push the boat down the river and take one step at a time.
"Lady! Lady!" Xu Yue shouted desperately.
"Stop shouting, it's noisy!" Zhang Zezhen said to him with disgust.
Xu Yue immediately closed her mouth and watched Zhenzhen leave blankly.
Xu Yue was also taken to Xu Zhao's room by Xu Mingyuan's men, and then the door was locked, and they looked after it outside, and no one was allowed to enter.
Zhang Zezhen went to the kitchen to cook, and there was a man and a woman staring at her next to her, for fear that she would be slippery.
Xu Mingyuan saw that there was no obstacle, so he called the man in black in.
"Golden sting, you weren't noticed by them, were you?" Xu Mingyuan asked leisurely while drinking tea.
"Mr. Hui, no!"
"Well, that's good, where did you get the secret recipe on Zhang Zezhen?"
"Jinyulou, she and Xu Yue didn't go back to Zhang's house, but went directly to Jinyulou."
"As I expected, the most dangerous place is the safest place, so did they go somewhere else?"
"Yes, they first went to the mountain in the backyard of the Zhang family, and went around a big circle before going to the Jinyu Building."
"Oh? Went around the mountains? What is the purpose of this?"
"I don't know, could it be that they found me?"
Xu Mingyuan did not answer, but fell into deep thought.
"If they found you, then why did they go back to Xu's house? There's deception in this!" Xu Mingyuan got up and prepared to leave.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"Go see Zhang Zezhen, what kind of medicine did she buy in her gourd?"
"I'll go with you."
"No, you hide in the shadows, and when you need it, you will be told by nature."
"Yes, sir."
Xu Mingyuan quickened his pace, came to the kitchen, and saw that she was chopping vegetables, and she was so good at cutting a bunch of vegetable leaves into thin strips that she was worthy of being the chef of Jinyulou.
The two who were staring saw Xu Mingyuan coming, and hurriedly bowed and greeted.
"Sir!"
"Master, you're here!"
"Well, how's the rice going?"
"Miss Zhang is preparing the dishes and condiments, and she hasn't officially started making them yet."
"Zhenzhen, this time you have worked hard, no one else will do it, so I don't dare to let them interfere, these two people have some research on cooking, if you need any help, you can find them."
Zhang Zezhen didn't even raise her head, but said weakly, "Got it."
"What is your attitude, when the master talks to you?" The man yelled at her.
"Eh, don't bother Zhenzhen cooking, if there's anything wrong with this, I'll just ask you two!"
"Got it, sir."
Xu Mingyuan walked towards the secret recipe on the stove, he checked the content on it again, and found nothing unusual, and there was no obvious poison, could it be that he wanted to make a small move secretly?
He was still not at ease, so he kept staring here.
Although Zhang Zezhen was very uncomfortable when he saw him, there was nothing he could do, after all, his husband was still in the hands of others.
"Zhenzhen, I'll sit here for a while, and I won't get in your way, right?"
"I said it's in the way, will you go?"
When Xu Mingyuan heard such an answer, his face was full of embarrassment and anger, and he felt that he was bored with himself, so he sat there and didn't say anything more, while his eyes were firmly fixed on her hands.
Zhang Zezhen prepared the dishes, herbs and seasonings that should be prepared, and the next thing was to heat the oil and prepare for stir-frying.
"Get up, I'm going to burn the oil, be careful of splashing you!"
The two subconsciously stepped back, but Xu Mingyuan still didn't move.
Zhang Zezhen squinted at him, and then desperately added firewood to it, until when the fire was very hot, she began to pour oil into it, and after a while, the oil was boiling
Sparks flew everywhere.
The two were afraid that the oil would touch them, so they hurriedly covered their faces with their sleeves.
Xu Mingyuan was very angry when he saw these two cowards, he kicked the man and scolded, "Manly man, what's wrong with being splashed with oil? Watch me well, and learn how to cook with others!"
The man shuddered and lowered his hand, but his body kept leaning back.
Seeing that the oil was almost done, she began to put the medicinal herbs in the order in the secret recipe, boiled until half-cooked, then added other meats and vegetables, and finally added condiments.
After a while, the fragrance of this "Feng Fei Wish" came to my nose. The three of them tasted the fragrance and couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the man even left saliva directly.
He was afraid that Xu Mingyuan would see it, so he quickly wiped it with his hand.
"It's already, you guys can help me put it on the plate!"
The two were already fascinated by the fragrance and didn't seem to hear Zhang Zezhen's instructions.
Xu Mingyuan took a deep breath, raised his hand and slapped the man, "Zhenzhen called you, didn't you hear!"
The hot pain made the man come back to his senses immediately, and looking at the old man's gloomy face, the man hurriedly replied, "I heard, I heard, I'm going to help serve the dishes."
Under Zhang Zezhen's instructions, the two hurriedly got busy.
"Master, where are you eating this dish?"
"Bring me to the study, and I'll eat alone."
"Yes."
"Zhenzhen, you come with me!"
The four of them came to Xu Mingyuan's study.
"You two go out first!"
The two of them obeyed the order, and immediately, and now there were only the two of them left in the room, and the air in the room became unusually quiet.
Xu Mingyuan picked up the chopsticks and wanted to taste this palace delicacy quickly, he couldn't wait for a long time.
As soon as a bite of food entered his mouth, Xu Mingyuan closed his eyes and enjoyed the wonderful taste and feeling brought by "Fengfei Wish".
"Zhenzhen, you've done this dish amazingly! With your cooking skills, you can be called the best in the town, no, even in the entire capital, your craftsmanship can be invincible."
"Dad, you have won the prize, this is the secret recipe of this dish, I will give it to you, now that my task is completed, can I go back with my husband?"
Xu Mingyuan pocketed the secret recipe, and then said with a smile, "Where are you going? Isn't this your home?"
Zhang Zezhen knew that Xu Mingyuan, a villain, would not let go of herself, so she said angrily, "Didn't we talk about it before? As long as I give you the secret recipe, my husband and I can go back to my mother's house!"
"The daughter who marries out is like water spilled out, since you are married to the Xu family, you are naturally a member of my Xu family, and if you go back to live in your mother's house, wouldn't it be a joke for the people around you to see my Xu family?"
"Besides, I didn't say that I would let you go back, I just promised you that I wouldn't embarrass your family! Don't worry, I will do what I say!"
"You're so despicable!"
"How can you talk like that? I'm your daddy! How can it harm you?"
Zhang Zezhen stared at Xu Mingyuan fiercely, her eyes were full of murderous energy, she hated that she didn't bring a knife, otherwise she would die with this scumbag.
"You calm down, don't think about yourself in time, but also think about your husband!"
"What are you going to do with Xu Yue?"
"Look at what you said, he is my son, can I harm him? The main thing is his mother, who loves this child very much and wants to keep him by her side, since you are Xu Yue's wife, you naturally want your wife to go with your husband."
"And what if I'm not happy?"
"Humph! Then don't blame me for turning his face and not recognizing anyone!"
"Xu Mingyuan, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"I'm doing this for your own good, if you are willing to create a family business with me, I will definitely not treat your whole family badly!"
"With you? What do you mean?"
"With your cooking skills and the popularity of this dish, we can completely change the style of Jinyu Lou and raise the price so that more people will come to it
Come on, then we'll make a lot of money!"
"I want to hit Jinyulou's idea, but I don't have it at the door! Besides, it's already my father's and mother's, so it has nothing to do with me!"
"You don't have to worry about this, I have already sent someone to your house to communicate with your father, and it is estimated that there will be a result in a while."
After Zhang Zezhen heard this, she was so angry that she went crazy and hit Xu Mingyuan.
At this time, Jin Zhen appeared, controlled Zhang Zezhen, and made her unable to move.
"Xu Mingyuan! You brute! You swore you wouldn't touch my family! You bastard!" Zhang Zezhen shouted loudly.
Xu Mingyuan was even happier when he saw her like this.
"Hahaha! Don't panic, don't panic! I'm just asking them to make a deal with your father and mother, and let them give me Jinyulou, and I'll give them a huge fortune that they won't be able to spend for the rest of their lives!"
"Xu Mingyuan, I advise you not to touch my father, otherwise I will be a ghost and I will not let you go!"
"Humph! Then I'll wait, Golden Sting, and leave her behind, and show me a good look!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Xu Mingyuan! Xu Mingyuan! You son of a bitch! It's not good to die!"
"Teacher, why are you here?" Zhang Shanren was both happy and puzzled when he saw Lu Gaozhi coming to his home.
"It's a long story, but in short, it means chastity." Lu Gaozhi wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
"Chastity? What is her intention?"
"Uh...... Well, it's more complicated."
"Oh, teacher, you're going to kill me! What the hell is going on?"
"We're here to protect you!" Xiao Tian couldn't stand it anymore, so he got straight to the point.
"Protection? We're fine, so why do we need protection?" The more Zhang Shanren listened, the more confused he became.
"Because Xu Mingyuan ......"
Knock knock!
"Is Jang Shanren here?"
Lu Gaozhi was just halfway through his words when shouting came from outside.
"Looking for me?"
Zhang Shanren got up to open the door, and Xiao Tian, in order not to reveal his whereabouts, suggested that Lu Gaozhi hide first and wait and see what happened.
"I'm Zhang Shanren, what's the matter with you?"
The two sturdy men didn't ignore it, but broke into Zhang's house directly.
"Huh? Who are you? Dare to trespass into people's houses!" Zhang Zeshui saw it and wanted to step forward to stop it, but he didn't expect to be pushed to the ground directly by a man with one hand.
They walked into Zhangjiatang's house, and after Zhang Shanren helped his son, he also hurriedly followed.
"Who the hell are you? What are you doing here?"
"We are members of the Xu family, and we are ordered by Master Xu to make a deal with you."
"Deal, what kind of transaction requires trespassing?"
"This is the book deed you have drawn up, you can take a look, if there is no problem, just sign it, and we can go back and pay the difference."
Zhang Shanren picked up the book deed and looked furious, "Don't you think about it! Jinyulou is my daughter's brainchild, and if you want to take it, step on my corpse first!"
"Zhang Shanren, you don't know what the situation is now, right? Your daughter is in our hands, and your decision directly determines her life or death!"
"What? What happened to you to Chastity?"
"No, she works well in the Xu family!"
"What do you want?"
"Didn't you say that? Hand over the Jinyu Building, and you can live your life with the money."
"What about my daughter?"
"Zhang Zezhen? I'm afraid she won't be able to reunite with you, our lord said, her cooking skills are good, and she will do things for our Xu family in the future!"
"Xu Mingyuan, bastard! I didn't expect him to be such a despicable villain!"...
"I advise you to be careful when you speak, it angers Master Xu, so that your whole family can't eat and walk around! Sign it now, don't embarrass us!"
