The news that Ji Huai had brought Mr. Yang and Yang Zhang back quickly spread throughout the town.
Caused quite a stir.
Xu Nan took the opportunity to open a bakery in Fucheng and a restaurant in the north of the town. The profits were of course half of Ji Huai's.
Now Ji Huai is only responsible for making the ingredients and teaching several apprentices in his free time. He does not need to cook himself.
He is now responsible for entertaining Mr. Yang and cooking various delicacies for him.
Every morning, Qiao Xin and I go to the beach to select ingredients. If the weather is good, the two of us will go up the mountain together to pick some fresh wild mushrooms.
She was weak, so he pulled her away halfway.
When he saw the wild fruits, he climbed up the tree and picked two for her.
Looking at the red color, Qiao Xin wiped it twice on her clothes, put it in her mouth and took a bite. As soon as she took a bite, her whole face wrinkled together and her eyes narrowed into slits.
"... sour." She couldn't speak clearly.
Seeing Ji Huai smiling, she wanted to give him another fruit to try, but he refused to eat it, so she became playful and chased him.
He didn't eat the other one in the end, so he grabbed her hand, took a bite of the fruit she had just bitten, and commented with a smile, "It's a little sour, but it tastes good."
Qiao Xin's face started to turn red again.
The two of them faced the breeze and had a little fight.
There is no one in this mountain, and Qiao Xin has become familiar with Ji Huai, and is slowly revealing her true nature. She is only sixteen years old.
Yun Shiqiao has been willful and indulgent since she was a child, but she can only suppress her temper and be more obedient, sensible and diligent.
In fact, she can also act coquettishly and be a little willful. After gradually understanding Ji Huai's feelings for her, she becomes more dependent on him. She will take the initiative to hold his hand when going down the mountain. When encountering a difficult road, she can also slow down a little and be gentle. He said in a loud voice, "Mr., please wait for me for a little while."
Ji Huai usually smiles and reaches out to pull her, but is afraid that she will fall, so he holds her hand tightly.
Someone finally appeared in this world to protect her.
When picking mushrooms, he would also teach her to distinguish whether they were poisonous or not.
During this period, Qiao Xin discovered wild cassava. When she and Mrs. Yun were in the countryside, He and Yun Shide ignored them. Since they had no food, they went to the mountains to dig cassava to satisfy their hunger.
She dug a little, and when she came back, she saw Ji Huai picking wild vegetables, and said to her, "This is relatively rare. Eat it to replenish your qi and blood. Pick it back and chop it into pieces and fry it with eggs for you to eat."
Hearing what he said, Qiao Xin felt warm. When she went back with him, she asked, "Can Doctor Yang cure my father's disease?"
Whenever Ji's father's illness was mentioned, Ji's mother's eyes were filled with sadness. Several times she saw him secretly wiping away tears, which made her feel sad and sad.
"Definitely." Ji Huai said firmly, giving her reassurance.
She believed in him. If he said it could be done, it would definitely be possible.
Back home.
Ji Huai entered the kitchen and Qiao Xin went to help him.
The picked mushrooms are also divided into rare mushrooms and common mushrooms. Some of them will change flavor quickly and need to be eaten immediately. He made a shredded mushroom and chicken soup.
After it was done, Mr. Yang just got up and gave it to him for breakfast.
The sweetness of the mushrooms and the aroma of the chicken soup were simply amazing. Together with the crystal buns from their restaurant, Mr. Yang ate a few and kept saying that he didn't want to go back and wanted to stay longer.
Not only can you eat game from the mountains here, but also fresh game from the sea.
There were some fish that Mr. Yang had never seen before. Ji Huai cooked them without a trace of fishy smell. Mr. Yang was full of praise. After eating them, Yang Zhang felt that they were comparable to the imperial chefs in the capital.
He has a soft mouth and is very happy to see Mr. Yang. He wanders around the restaurant happily and has taken several stomach medicines. Yang Zhang is more serious when treating Ji's father.
Ji's father's illness lasted too long, and the best time was delayed. He relied on that little medicine to support him. If he continued to take it, it would take two years at most, and he would be exhausted.
The condition was complicated, so Yang Zhang first prescribed a prescription and then treated him with acupuncture.
Just one day later, Ji's father said that he coughed less at night and his chest tightness was much better, and Ji's mother's brows relaxed.
"With my grandson here, it will definitely be fine." Mr. Yang was very confident. When he saw Ji Huai coming from the other side, he sniffed and wondered what kind of delicacy it was.
I saw him bringing a large shrimp, steamed until it turned red, and placed it on the plate.
There was nothing unusual about the shrimp. It was mainly for dipping sauce, which was just right. He ate most of it by himself.
"Don't be greedy, shrimps are cold in nature and your legs will hurt again." Yang Zhang reminded him with a frown.
"Helpless." Mr. Yang waved his hand and gave him an order, "If you don't cure my father's illness after eating so much, I will lose face. You can do whatever you want."
"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow." Yang Zhang looked at his old child's appearance, feeling extremely helpless. "It will definitely not be cured in such a short time. I can only prescribe some medicine, take it easy, and then recuperate. Is it possible to cure the disease?" Half. "
Live a few more years.
If it weren't for the fact that Ji's family was so attentive to serving Mr. Yang, he wouldn't have rushed to treat Ji's father in the past two days. He had been tossing in several ways.
At first, Mr. Yang was just nagging him to put it off a little longer. During dinner, Ji Huai made a mushroom and shrimp soup that completely conquered him.
Must stay.
Father Ji must be treated!
Because he refused to leave, and would not let Yang Zhang leave, and said angrily, "You left, when will you come back next time? Are you waiting for me to die and then come back to attend the funeral? If you don't do your best, how can I feel at ease? Eat and drink?”
"If his father dies, what dignity will I have to come next time? If I can't eat this delicious food, what's the point of this world?"
Yang Zhang couldn't fight, his head was full of black lines, and he could only extend it for a few more days.
At that time, Ji's father was able to walk out without help, and his complexion was much better. He even went to a restaurant with Ji's mother today.
In the past, I only heard that their restaurant had reopened, business was booming, and they were selling shrimp paste and shrimp paste. That was only when Ji's mother came back and said that he had never seen it.
When I walked there, I looked at the people coming in and out. The seats were all full, and the waiter’s voice kept coming and going, “Guest, please go slowly.”, “Guest, please come this way.”, “Okay, a plate of beef stew and stir-fried vegetables. , it will be ready soon, please wait.”…
Ji's father looked at Ji's mother next to him, still a little disbelieving, and said slowly, with some hesitation, "Is this our restaurant?"
"That's right." Ji's mother stood aside and said with a smile, "Our family has also opened a restaurant in the south of the city, and is planning to open a restaurant in the west of the city. Ji Huai has said that he will open the bakery to Fucheng and Lanzhou. , we want to drive to more places.”
Qiao Xin saw Ji's father and mother standing outside the door and walking out from the counter. She raised the corner of her mouth and called out: "Dad, Mom."
Before he finished speaking, there was a scream from the other side.
"What are you going to do? Don't hit her, you're going to get hit." Ms. He cried and struggled with the strong men. The other party immediately dragged her out of the door and said with a fierce look, "You haven't paid her yet, and you're still yelling?"
The other party said, putting a piece of paper in front of her, "It's written in black and white on the paper, do you still want to default on the bill?"
"No, tolerate us for a few more days, we, we..."
Before He finished speaking, the strong man sneered, "How many days of tolerance can you come up with the money? Brothers, throw this family out of here!"
Yun Hao and Yun Shide turned into turtles and were thrown out.
He yelled, but no one paid attention.
At this time, Yun Shiqiao rushed over, stood in front of them, and stared at the strong men, "What are you doing? Do you have any more royal methods?"
"Hey." The strong man looked up and saw her, raised his eyebrows, and looked her up and down.
Yun Shiqiao was wearing a slightly better material, but her hair was a little messy and her complexion was not good. The strong man looked sneer, "Are you the sister that the boy said married into the Xu family? Do you have any money? Your parents can mortgage the inn. If not, get out of here together!"
People on the street gathered around. Yun Shiqiao saw Ji Huai coming out of the restaurant opposite and standing next to Qiao Xin. She was so proud that she gritted her teeth and said, "I will return the money to you!"
"You are so angry." The strong man sneered, lowered his face for a second, and raised his voice, "Don't think that I don't know that you have been kicked out by the Xu family. What kind of trouble can a kicked-out concubine cause? And you still think you are yourself. Is it an onion?"
As soon as this statement came out, the people around him were in an uproar and whispered among themselves.
Was Yun Shiqiao kicked out by the Xu family? Aren’t they all pregnant
Arrogant as a cloud, her face was burning. She was jealous when she saw Qiao Xin still looking at her. He was wearing nice materials and jewelry on his head that she had never seen before.
Embarrassed and angry, her life in the Xu Mansion was not easy. It turned out that Xu Hao felt a little sorry for her. He married his first wife but still doted on her.
Mrs. Xu, the old immortal, arranged several beautiful maids for Xu Hao. She taught him how to know people, so he became attached to her. After marrying his first wife and having maids, his attention was distracted. How can I still remember her? Her status gradually declined.
Later, Mrs. Xu gave Xu Hao a maid as a concubine, and she also became pregnant.
She was still raising a fetus and couldn't serve him, so she could only fight secretly. The concubine helped the wife to stumble her, so she killed the child in her belly. Who would have thought that she would also suffer revenge from the concubine.
She was thrown into the water, the child was not saved, Xu Hao was impatient with her, the wife deliberately made things difficult for her, and Mrs. Xu punished her in a strange way. After Xu Hao lost interest in her, Mrs. Xu pretended to be assaulted by her and was so angry that she fainted. Xu Hao immediately had her kicked out of the house.
The Xu Mansion looks glamorous, but Xu Hao is useless. Mrs. Xu doesn't even have much say in the mansion. She is a concubine and depends on people's looks. If you are not favored, no one will come to see you when you are sick, and you may die of illness.
She could only comfort herself, she rushed as soon as she could, she didn't care about it!
The strong man threw all their luggage out and wanted to rent the inn to others and tell the Yun family to get away. They had no place to go and could only rent it in a dilapidated small courtyard. They were in a very embarrassed state.
He and Yun Shide were complaining to each other, and then they scolded Yun Shiqiao together. Even Yun Hao was muttering, "It's not you who caused these things? It would have been better if you had married Ji Huai at that time. Look at their family now How prosperous is their restaurant? I don’t need to learn any pastries, the restaurant they open can be managed by our family.”
"Let Qiao Xin take advantage. She now has maids when she comes in and out, and the jewelry she wears are all Fucheng styles."
Yun Shiqiao was already aggrieved, so after hearing what he said, her thoughts inevitably arose.
Qiao Xin was just a maid serving her. It was unspeakable to have a maid crawl on top of her.
"Yes, why did you say you were so troublesome?" Mrs. He also scolded angrily, "I went to be a concubine in the Xu family, and now? If you hadn't caused so many things, would our family be in this situation? It's all your fault. ! A concubine who has been kicked out, who else wants you?"
Yun Shiqiao didn't think that no one wanted it, and retorted directly, "I will find a way!"
Ji Huai was interested in her at the beginning. Ji's family was in such a difficult situation at the time. Ji Huai would buy her any jewelry she liked. He was never stingy about food if she liked it.
If she hadn't found Xu Hao, how could he marry Qiao Xin if he had no choice
Qiao Xin's current life was stolen from her!
