"Little mouse?" Xiao Zuozi's face was full of suspicion.

Mu Mengchen strode out of the reception hall like the wind, picked up the cloak and put it on in a dashing manner and said, "Go home!" ”

"Yes! Your Highness. Xiao Zuozi followed closely.

Knowing that Mu Mengchen had left the house, Chu Liangrao did not breathe a sigh of relief, but said: "Now that my mother is in good health, the guests here should also talk to her, if she really doesn't have the strength to entertain, it's not too late for me to go back." ”

Hearing this, Lilac was a little apprehensive: "County Lord, but the prince is there......"

Chu Liangrao shook her head and did not answer.

Mother Du thought about it and replied: "Why don't you tell the old lady, no matter how you say that the county lord is also unmarried, it is a matter of misreputation to meet a man like this......"

"That's what Mom said." Chu Liangrao said, "Just find a little guy to talk about, the old lady knows the powerful relationship." ”

"Okay, Mom will go and order." Mother Du hurriedly went out and called a 'excited' little maid to help pass the word, the old lady got the letter, and asked Qin'er to reply and tell Chu Liangrao not to go out in the cold, so as not to freeze, and she made her own arrangements for the affairs of this house.

With the right permission, Chu Liangrao put her mind at ease.

In the second half of the year, Wu took Yun Shanshan to visit the 'door', and the old lady was a little uneasy when she learned about it, and felt that the 'woman' of the mere merchant came once, and she was addicted. How could it be that Chu Liangrao had already received people on her own, and the old lady only thought that she would give Chu Liangrao a preventive injection afterwards.

Knowing that the Wu family was also here, Chu Liangrao knew that they must have come for business, and sure enough, the Wu family brought good news.

Yun Shanshan sat beside the Wu family obediently, and waited for the Wu family to speak before saying: "County Lord, you see if it is a coincidence, Mr. Zhu happens to be helping out in my house, otherwise I am afraid that it will take some effort to find it." ”

Chu Liangrao also felt that this was an arrangement in the dark, but when she looked at Lilac again, she looked incredulous, so she helped ask, "Is it really Mr. Zhu?" ”

"He said that his ancestral home is Pingyuan County and he has a 'daughter', but he didn't say where his 'daughter' is." Wu glanced at Lilac with emotion, and said, "Now that the caravan has encountered some trouble, it has delayed its efforts, and I am afraid that you will not be able to meet until the next year, so I am really sorry." ”

At this point, Lilac has believed ninety percent, and thanked him: "What Mrs. said, it is not a simple matter to help the slave and maid find their father. It's too late for the slave to thank you, so where can I blame you. ”

Wu said with a smile: "Lilac girl is serious, how much work to worry about, I want to thank you and thank your own county lord." ”

Chu Liangrao was stunned by this Xie Laixi, and diverted the topic to say that the meal was set.

The guest is as he pleases, and the Wu family doesn't say much, but Yun Shanshan is very curious about what delicious food the palace will prepare this time.

Eight hot dishes, four snacks, and two hot soups, the dishes are rich in color and even more delicious.

According to what Chu Liangrao said, the two of them each used a bowl of soup first.

Wu saw that his own was a 'milky' white and delicious fish soup, while Yun Shanshan and Chu Liangrao were using a luscious pig's trotter soup, so they couldn't help but ask a little more.

Chu Liangrao did not hide her 'selfishness', and told Wu that the soup should also vary from person to person, and the 'flower' pig hand pot 'sex' is flat and sweet, nourishing blood and moisturizing dryness, and it is particularly good for 'female' and 'sex' skin. And the radish shredded crucian carp soup strengthens the spleen and appetizes, as well as the effect of wrinkles and decompression, which is the most suitable for the Wu family, who needs to do everything.

Wu was impressed when he heard this, and felt that Chu Liangrao really deserved to be called a lady, and he could know these without leaving home. The heart of 'friendship' is stronger, so she asks for advice on how to make soup.

In fact, the 'flower' pig hand pot is also made in the general house, Chu Liangrao still did not refuse, and knew everything.

Because it is not the master's business to deal with the ingredients, Chu Liangrao said to a long story short: "Handle the four pig hands, put them in the casserole, and then add half a catty of peeled 'flower' raw rice, this 'flower' raw peel is to avoid the soup 'color' is not good." After that, put green onions, ginger, Shao wine, add water to spread over the ingredients, put it on a hot fire to boil, and then change to stew the pig's trotters over low heat until cooked. ”

"This radish shredded crucian carp soup is not difficult, cut the radish into shreds for later use, first put water in the soup pot and boil over high heat. Heat the oil pan and add oil, and after it is 60% hot, use medium heat. Then put the processed crucian carp in it, fry it until golden brown on both sides, and put it in a boiling soup pot. Wait until the water boils, then add the ginger slices, and cook for three stones on medium heat for three minutes. ”

"But this crucian carp is a little troublesome, because it is an aquatic product, so it contains water, which will make the oil splash out. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that both sides of the fish are dry before frying, so that it can not only avoid being splashed with oil, but also keep the skin intact. ”

This time, not only the Wu family listened, but even Yun Shanshan couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the county lord knows so much, unlike me, he can only eat ......" said and lowered his voice.

"Where, if you have nothing to do, you will not do your job, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Chu Liangrao said with a smile.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao's attitude was gentle, and he did not look down on merchants as deeply as other housekeepers, Wu felt more and more that his father-in-law valued Chu Liangrao correctly.

After having a satisfactory meal, the Wu family wanted to take Yun Shanshan to say goodbye first, but Chu Liangrao kept them, saying that it was not too late to have dinner. On weekdays, no one came to visit her, and even if she handed over the post, most of them were handed to Gu's room, and it was rare that there were two people who could talk at this time, and Chu Liangrao would not let them go.

Finding out the leaf card, Chu Liangrao said: "Three are missing one, cloves, you come." ”

On weekdays, these maids have not played with Chu Liangrao, and Lilac did not shirk, sat down generously, and said: "The county lord should not let the slave and maid lose too badly, the slave and maid can not afford to lose with this little monthly money." ”

Chu Liangrao didn't care: "If you lose, it's mine." ”

Hearing this, Wu lowered her eyes slightly, she is most familiar with the leaf card, and it can be said that she can completely master the entire game. Seeing that Chu Liangrao respects Lilac so much, she will not let Lilac lose money, and after a few handfuls, everyone has their own wins and losses, and they are all interested.

This game is an hour, Chu Liangrao is still unfinished, and after settling it, she found that she won a little money, and so did Lilac, but Yun Shanshan won a lot. The Wu clan lost the most, losing nearly thirty taels of silver.

Yun Shanshan took the money and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you won't want to go back this money." ”

Disgustedly nodded Xia Yun Shanshan's brows, and Wu said helplessly: "Look, it's cheap and good." ”

Chu Liangrao couldn't help laughing, and instructed his subordinates to bring the prepared sweet soup and pastries.

Immediately, Zhu'er presented a 'color' golden and 'tempting' pumpkin soup with a light taste of chrysanthemum 'flower' crisp, and a 'fine' pastry with a chic shape, Yun Shanshan liked it very much, and pestered Chu Liangrao to find a way. Chu Liangrao didn't tell her, but said: "If you like it, you can bring some back, I want to tell you everything, will you come next time?" ”

Hearing this, Wu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he took Yun Shanshan's hand and said, "What the county lord said is, you, there are no rules for being a guest at all, the county lord is kind enough not to care about you, and you have become even worse." ”

With a small mouth, Yun Shanshan muttered in a low voice: "The county lord is not such a cautious person." ”

Chu Liangrao smiled and said, "I'll be careful this time." ”
