In the private room of Xiangyi Building, He Lianxuan and Xia Chunyu drank together.
"Xiao Jing also runs out every day after he comes back. I don't know what he is busy with. Seeing him idle all day, I have a headache. I want to arrange an errand for him, but I am afraid that he will mess up and disgrace the Helian family." He Lianxuan held his forehead as he had a headache.
Xia Chunyu said in his heart: What is Xiaojing busy with? I'm not busy looking for someone yet, but now that I've found someone, I should feel relieved.
"If you ask me, it's better to give him an errand. When you have something to do, your mind will calm down and you will have a sense of responsibility. It doesn't matter if you do well or not. Who hasn't come all the way? It's you, no Have you ever been defeated? Didn't something go wrong when I first started working? Xiaojing is very smart, as long as he is given a chance, he will do something good." Xia Chunyu comforted him.
He Lianxuan thought for a while: "I'll look back and see if there are any suitable errands. You should also pay attention."
Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention."
"By the way, what happened to your third lady in Heifenggang? I never had the chance to ask you." He Lianxuan asked curiously.
Xia Chunyu filled up the glass of wine for himself and drank it all in one gulp. The hot liquid burned into his stomach, but it could not dispel the sadness in his heart.
This worry is weighing heavily on my heart. It's better during the day, when I have something to do. But at night, in the dead of night, I toss and turn every time I think of that person, and my heart feels very uncomfortable. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I subconsciously I touched the pillow, but it was empty, and I couldn't recover for a while.
He has thought carefully about his thoughts, but he can't figure out whether he is obsessed with Yaoyao because of guilt, or whether he really likes Yaoyao. Maybe it's a combination of both.
"She was originally the daughter of a good family. She was kidnapped and taken to the mountain. The boss rewarded her to me. I always thought she was a nail planted by the boss... Later I found out that it was not the case. To be honest, I have never owed anything in my life. She is the only one alive. It's a pity that she died and I didn't even have a chance to compensate." Xia Chunyu smiled bitterly and poured another glass.
He Lianxuan didn't know what to say for a long time, and sighed for a long time: "A beauty is destined to suffer."
After a pause, he comforted: "You don't need to blame yourself. In that case, it is reasonable for you to be wary of her. It is not only related to your own safety, but also related to the success or failure of the overall situation..."
Xia Chunyu waved his hand and his voice became increasingly bitter: "You don't know the situation. I promised her that I would protect her, but in the end I failed to protect her."
Helian Jing was dumbfounded. He and Xia Chunyu had been friends since they were little. He remembered Xia Chunyu as smart, capable, cold and arrogant. When had he ever seen him feel so sad for a woman? It was obvious that the woman herself There is something extraordinary about it.
"Forget it, don't think about it, it's all over. If you really feel guilty, just make it up to her family. You don't know where her family is, right?"
When he mentioned his family, Xia Chunyu had a cold look in his deep eyes. Are those Yaoyao's relatives? So cold-blooded and ruthless, plotting and plotting, yet you still want to make amends? He went to settle accounts with them one by one.
However, he didn't want to tell He Lianxuan these words, so he smiled indifferently.
"Stop talking about this and drink."
He Lianxuan originally wanted to tell Xia Chunyu something about Princess Liuli. Princess Liuli was the Empress Dowager's favorite little princess. The Empress Dowager had always wanted to find a good match for Liuli. Yesterday, her mother entered the palace and heard what the Empress Dowager said. From now on, he seems to be very optimistic about Chunyu.
This is a good thing, but looking at Chunyu's current mood, it seems that it is not suitable to mention this matter, so he suppresses it. If the Queen Mother makes a decision, there should be news soon.
Ye Jiayao finally coaxed Xiao Jingjing away and returned to the kitchen. Everyone looked at her with envy and jealousy.
Ye Jiayao was really speechless. What was there to envy? She was very annoyed.
"Hey... these days, everything you do depends on your face. If you have a good face, people will praise you. Unlike us, who are rich and poor, working hard, no matter how good the food is, it's all in vain." Someone sarcastically said.
Ye Jiayao took a look and saw that it was Zhong Xiang's follower Liu Qisheng.
Damn it, are you mocking me for being a pretty girl? Do you think everyone can be a pretty boy? Who do you blame for your appearance? Go back and blame your mother! You can't improve from Zhu Bajie to Tang Monk even if you are sour here...
"Do your job well. Let's do things down-to-earth. Isn't it good to be a responsible person?" Zhong Xiang said calmly.
Ah! The two of them even sang and talked about cross talk. Is this a mockery of my mother's opportunistic ways of getting into power? Who said that men are broad-minded and narrow-minded, making even women feel inferior
Deng Haichuan smoothed things over with a smile and changed the topic: "Brother Yao, what do you think of the dishes you cooked today? The beggar and bird looked a bit unsettling to me. It was wrapped in yellow mud. How can the young prince bear it? Today's beggar The chicken has been wrapped in Huadiao flour."
Ye Jiayao smiled: "Young Prince Jing is here to remember the bitterness and sweetness. I happened to meet Young Prince Jing on the way to Jinling. He was hungry at the time. I happened to be digging a pit in the wild to make a bird call, and he smelled the fragrance. I've been looking for it and I've always missed this smell, so last night I knew I was working as a cook here, and today I was specifically asked to be the beggar."
Ye Jiayao deliberately told the story about her relationship with Xiao Jingjing and concealed the period when Xiao Jingjing was in a state of decline. The purpose was to tell some people with impure minds that I have a friendship with the young prince. How about that? ? And we have a lot of friendship, how about it? I think I'm pretty good-looking, but I'm not so narcissistic that I think I'm the most powerful person in the world, and I can win over all the male idols as soon as I meet her.
"It turns out that Brother Yao and the young prince still have such a good relationship. No wonder the young prince asked Brother Yao to accompany him. It turns out that it was to reminisce about old times." Jiang Youli said, feeling a little sorry that he had not been able to help Brother Yao bake the cakes before.
Everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces. They thought to themselves that it was no wonder they had received so many rewards yesterday. They knew each other.
After a sudden realization, everyone became more and more enthusiastic about Ye Jiayao. With the young prince as her backer, she could walk around in Jinling City.
Ye Jiayao's faces turned dark when she saw Zhong Xiang and Liu Qisheng, and an imperceptible sneer curled up at the corner of her lips. As for me, I like unity and friendship, and everyone is happy. I will fight for the enemies who can win over me. I hope you two will not go further and further down the road of bigotry. A harmonious society values peace. Hello, I am ok. Hello everyone, if you insist on following me I'm not someone to be trifled with.
After a busy lunch, there was a period of rest. Shopkeeper Li said that if Ye Jiayao wanted to rest, she could go to Fuu Pavilion. There was a rocking chair in Fuu Pavilion. The private room faced the Qinhuai River and she could enjoy the beautiful scenery on the river. But Ye Jiayao didn't want to be special. She wanted to get acquainted with everyone as soon as possible as a newcomer, so she chatted with everyone in the kitchen.
After all, Ye Jiayao is a modern person thousands of years later. He was born into a family of chefs and has been the editor of a food magazine. He has been to many countries and tasted all the delicious food in the world. His knowledge is by no means comparable to that of these ancients.
At this moment, Ye Jiayao rolled up her sleeves, stepped on the bench, and talked about Kobe beef with great joy.
"I once went to the seaside and heard that a certain island country produces a kind of beef. It drinks spring water from the mountains and eats tender grass mixed with medicinal herbs. Every day, it has to play soothing and beautiful music for it, and it has to be played for it. For massage, if it loses its appetite, you have to feed it malt-fermented wine. The meat of this kind of cow is extremely tender, fragrant but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth. Don’t be too beautiful, it is simply the best among beef... "
As Ye Jiayao talked, she was almost drooling. She looked up at the beams with starry eyes, Kobe beef, I miss you so much.
"Brother Yao, are you fooling us? Being a cow and getting such treatment is much more comfortable than being a human. You might as well be reincarnated as a cow!" Cui Dongpeng said with a smile.
"That's right, it's better to be a cow." Everyone agreed.
Ye Jiayao chuckled: "Then it depends on whether you are so lucky. Maybe if you work hard in this life, make more money and go underground to bribe the King of Hell, it might be possible."
Everyone burst out laughing.
"I'm not fooling you. Abalone sashimi is so weak compared to this kind of beef. Do you know what the nine most advanced foods in the world are? The beef I just mentioned can only be ranked sixth..."
Everyone pricked up their ears curiously.
Deng Haichuan said anxiously: "Brother Yao, don't be so pretentious, tell us quickly."
Ye Jiayao was tired of standing, so she sat down and crossed her legs: "Okay, today I will give you a long insight. The number one fish is called yellow-lipped fish. You should know this. The area in Guangdong is called Qianqianyu, and the area in Wenzhou is called yellow-lipped fish. Gan, when we make abalone and ginseng fin tripe, we can only use the swim bladder of the yellow-lipped fish to make it the most authentic and delicious. Nothing else is as good as... "
Someone nodded: "I've heard of this, but I've never done it."
"That's because yellow-lipped fish is rare, so it's precious." Ye Jiayao said.
"Brother Yao, hurry up and tell me about the second kind." Jiang Youli urged.
Ye Jiayao thought for a while, and the second type was gold foil, but it would be difficult to explain this to a group of ancients. That kind of craftsmanship was not something that could be done in this era, so she skipped it and talked about white truffles directly.
"The second most precious food is called white truffle. This kind of fungus is only produced in a country with a terrain similar to a boot. It is tens of thousands of miles away from here. It is very rare. This kind of fungus must be eaten raw and cannot be eaten raw. When cooked, the flavor changes when exposed to fire. This fungus has a sweet taste and strong aroma and is not suitable for storage. It can be eaten immediately after picking it, so it is difficult for non-local people to eat such delicious food."
"Brother Yao, where did you hear this? It's not like you went there and tasted it yourself, right?" someone questioned.
Ye Jiayao sighed regretfully: "This was recorded by my master and my master's master who traveled around the world for most of their lives. My wish in this life is to travel around the world and taste all the delicacies like my master and grand master."
Zhong Xiang and Liu Qisheng were sitting outside, listening to the bustle inside, while the outside was deserted, and they felt very uncomfortable.
Liu Qisheng snorted angrily: "When I heard it, I knew he was talking nonsense. Why does he travel around the world and know how wide and big the fields are? He's just a bunch of people who have never seen the world, and they all listened stupidly and happily. "
Zhong Xiang was silent and looked gloomy. Everyone used to surround him, but now they are all attracted by Li Yao.
