If it weren't for his father's border in Mingzhou and the need for the eldest son in the family, he would actually rather enlist in the army by himself, but as the elder brother in the family, he had to give up this dream and stay at home to take responsibility.

Now He Changqi has just received an idle position from the fourth grade in the Ministry of Rites, and he is not good at business, although he is the prince of Jing'an Bofu, he does not have much balance in his hands.

The dignified son of the world, because of his mother's illness, he also worried about the silver.

Chu Lian didn't know the twists and turns, after all, she was not at home, and this matter was not mentioned in the original book.

got a cart full of chili peppers, Chu Lian was almost overjoyed.

My mind is already full of chili oil, fresh pepper tender chicken, boiling mutton, hot and sour soup, dry fried shredded beef, mapo tofu and other spicy dishes.

When I returned to Songtao Garden, I went straight to the small kitchen, and I couldn't even take a lunch break.

At the door of the small kitchen, Mama Zhong took Wen Lan and watched in amazement as several rough mothers-in-law were moving things to the small kitchen one by one.

The cart of chili peppers took up half of the warehouse connected to the kitchenette.

Mama Zhong walked to Chu Lian's side in two steps, opened her mouth and asked in surprise, "Third Grandma, what is this? Why are there so many?"

Chu Lianxiao's eyes narrowed, and he deliberately sold it, "Don't worry, Mama, it's a good thing, it's given by the eldest brother." ”

"The prince gave it?"

Following behind Chu Lian, seeing that she opened a bag and asked Jing Yan behind her to find a larger wooden basin, Chu Lian lifted the calf-high pocket and poured a bag of dried chili peppers into the wooden basin.

When Mama Gui heard the news, she also rushed over, and when she saw this pot of fiery red things, she was surprised: "What kind of crop is this, it looks weird and beautiful." ”

Chu Lian stretched out his slender jade hand and flicked it on the pepper in the pot, looking at the bright red dried pepper, he instantly felt bad.

She turned her head and looked at the group of maids behind her, "This is a kind of foreign food, even if it is eaten directly, you want to taste it?"

The first to nod were a few geese and asked Qing and Lan, and several girls had anticipation in their eyes, it was really delicious that no matter what the three grandmothers made before, they felt fat in the mirror these two days!

I always tell myself that I must eat less when I eat, but when it comes to the meal, I can't control it, which is really annoying.

Chu Lian saw that they were willing to try, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he took two steps to the side to get out of the way.

A few geese and Wen Qing and Lan pinched a dried chili, looked at it twice, and without even asking what it tasted like, they just stuffed it directly into their mouths.

In less than two seconds, the throats of several girls were on fire, and they hurriedly spit out the red pepper in their mouths, and hurriedly ran to the small kitchen to find water to drink.

This action only shocked Mama Zhong and Mama Gui, this ...... What the hell is going on!

Mama Gui was in a hurry to see the situation of a few girls, but she was grabbed by Chu Lian, and said with a smile: "Mama, don't worry, they're fine, it's just that after eating this spicy seed, the spicy mouth is on fire for a while, just drink two glasses of cold water." ”

After saying that, Chu Lian couldn't help laughing, and when Mama Gui heard Chu Lian say this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced helplessly at the third grandmother who deliberately put a trap on her, her eyes were disgusted.

Mama Zhong turned her head and instructed the two stunned little maids behind her, telling them to hurry up and go to the small kitchen to pour cold water for a few girls.

When a few geese and Wenqing Wenlan came back, their eyes were watery, their cheeks were red, and their eyes were even more aggrieved when they looked at Chu Lian.

Chu Lian deliberately stiffened his face and said, "Look at how you dare to eat indiscriminately next time, if you find out that you have done something wrong, the punishment in the future will be to eat a bowl of such spicy food!"

A few geese and Wen Qing Wenlan hurriedly shrank their heads, not even daring, and even Mama Gui and Mama Zhong next to them were stunned for a while.

In fact, Chu Lian also meant something when he said this.

Two days ago, Xiyan and the others handed over all their food, and Mama Gui took her own wine again, and since they ate in the small kitchen, because the food in the three rooms was particularly delicious, there was always less from time to time. Chu Lian had only heard about it a little before, but recently the momentum in the courtyard has intensified.

Although Xiyan and Gui Mama sent food and wine to He Saburo for her sake, there are no rules, after all, she is the one who is in charge in Songtao Garden, and there is a bigger Jing'anbo Mansion outside Songtao Garden.

Although eating and taking some things is a trivial matter, but the accumulation of time and repeated connivance will raise the greedy and insufficient, Chu Lian said this is also to take this opportunity to knock the maid in her yard. At the same time, she stated her position, even if Mama Gui made a mistake in the future, she would punish her accordingly.

Chu Lian's gaze swept over the group of people in front of him, and when he felt that this warning had worked, he relieved his face and became gentle again.

"Fu Yan, go and see if there are fish in the kitchen today, ask Lan and Ming Yan to get two more pots to hold these peppers, Jing Yan went to find sesame seeds, garlic cloves, green onions and ginger. ”

After the order, Chu Lian stood aside and instructed a few big girls to wash the dried chili peppers in a wooden basin and then chop them.

All afternoon, the spicy smell of Pine Garden was filled with a burnt aroma, which made the people in the kitchen cough again and again.

Chu Lian asked Xiyan to bring a rose chair and lean under a wisteria in Songtao Garden to enjoy the coolness, holding the account book of Gui Lin Ju in his hand to sketch and draw, and from time to time glanced at the maids in and out of the smoking kitchen in the distance.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Xi Yan hurriedly handed over a delicate small plate, which was a cold melon cut into small pieces with bamboo sticks.

Chu Lian pinched the bamboo skewer and ate a mouthful of cold melon, feeling refreshed, Xi Yan looked at her face with a sense of comfort, and hurriedly stepped forward to pinch her shoulders attentively.

Chu Lian also reminded from time to time, "Focus on the left." ”

Xi Yan hurriedly complied.

Chu Lian closed his eyes in enjoyment, what is the life of a rice worm?

It didn't take long to see Fu Yan and a few people covered with the smell of oil smoke, his little face was red with sweat stains and heat, and he kept coughing when he came to Chu Lian's side.

Chu Lian clenched his fist with one hand and put it to his lips and coughed deliberately, "It's all done?"

"Back to the third grandma, the chili oil you want is all made according to your method, there are two jars in total, and you can install the jar after cooling for a while. Jing Yan replied.

"Now that it's done, you should go back to shower and change your clothes, and look at the smell of your body. ”

A few big maids hurriedly ran away as if they had been pardoned.

Chu Lian proudly ate another mouthful of cold melon, "Xi Yan, have you seen it, this is the end of the greedy elbow turning out! Don't worry, I still have a lot of bags of chili peppers!"

Xi Yan was frozen by Chu Lian's words.

After enduring it, he finally admitted his mistake, "Third grandmother, in the future, the slave and maid will no longer dare to be the master of your private belongings, please ask the third grandmother to spare the slave and maid this time!"

Chu Lian glanced at Xi Yan, "Xi Yan, it's good if you understand, don't lose a big one because of a small thing." ”

Although those snacks are not easy to come by, they are just appetites, Chu Lian took this opportunity to remind Xiyan that if she handed over something more important to her for safekeeping in the future, if she still made a mistake, she would not be punished.

For dinner, Chu Lian personally cooked a boiled fish fillet and a hot and sour soup, which were all dishes commonly eaten in Songtao Garden.

The boiled fish fillet is covered with freshly sprouted bean sprouts, with snow-white fish fillets on top and floating red chili peppers on top. The fish meat is tender and smooth, although it is covered with a layer of red pepper, it is actually not too spicy, and the thin snow-white fish fillet is in the mouth, and the corners of Chu Lianmei's mouth are upturned.

It's just a pity that I sit at the table alone to eat, originally such boiled fish fillets were served in a large basin to feel it, but because she ate alone, only let Xi Yan fill a small bowl.

The rest of Chu Lian asked Xiyan to divide two portions and send them to Qinghui Hall and Dafang Courtyard respectively.

Mama Gui went to Qinghui Hall in person, and Mama Liu quickly welcomed her in.

"This is the fresh food made by the third grandmother today, the old slave sent some to the old lady to taste at the words of the third grandmother, but the third grandmother told him, the taste of this boiled fish fillet is a little heavy, if the old lady can't eat it, just taste it. ”

Mama Liu greeted with a smile, took the food box and handed it to the maid behind her, asked her to take it in, and personally sent Mama Gui out of the yard by the way.

Naturally, the big house also received this boiled fish fillet, and Shizi He Changqi happened to be present at that time.

He Changqi lifted the lid of the food box, saw a layer of red pepper spread in the porcelain cup, and said in surprise: "This dish is made by the spicy pepper I brought back in the afternoon?"

Our third grandmother personally cooked it in the evening, saying that this boiled fish fillet has a heavy taste, and if the prince is not used to it, he will eat less. ”

"Since it's made of that spicy man, I'm going to try it. ”

Without waiting for Xiyan to leave, He Changqi ordered the grandmother in the courtyard to eat.

I can't wait to try the peculiar taste of the spicy dishes.

The next day, Chu Lian went to Qinghui Hall to ask for peace, but he didn't expect to meet his eldest brother He Changqi.

The old lady smiled and asked Chu Lian to sit down beside her, and joked: "Your eldest brother deliberately left two quarters of an hour late today, just waiting for you to come over and say goodbye." ”

Chu Lian said strangely: "What's the matter with the eldest brother?"

He Changqi's dark and broad face suddenly flushed a little, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth with his mouth pursed, so he had to look at Mrs. He for help.

"Look, you are so good, it's just a trivial matter, and you're ashamed to export, the third daughter-in-law married into our He family, you are her eldest brother!" He Lao Taijun pretended to be disgusted and counted He Changqi, and then took Chu Lian's hand and said to her with a smile: "Your eldest brother is going to invite his classmates and friends to come to the house as guests in two days, he ate the boiled fish fillet you sent yesterday and felt that it was very delicious, so I want to ask you to make a clean up to support some façade on the day of your hospitality." ”

Treat friends and treat friends, there must always be one of the food and wine, the secret recipe is precious, and most of the houses have one or two delicious dishes to support the façade.

Before, Jing'anbo Mansion relied on Chef Zhou's dim sum, but now Chef Zhou's Niang is gone, and the He family's hospitality feels that there is nothing good to take out, and the food owed to friends is delayed again and again.

Now that I have this opportunity, of course, I can't let it go.

Chu Lian thought that the reason for the embarrassment was just to add two dishes to the dinner table of the eldest brother's friends, which was very simple, and Chu Lian immediately nodded and agreed.

Here, He Dalang finally had a matter on his mind, but Mama Liu suddenly ran in in a hurry outside.

"Old lady, the housekeeper in the front yard has delivered a message, someone has come to the palace!"
