Nan Nan was speechless as he watched Fang Xiaoxi walk towards the kitchen. This was the person his mother had hired to be the cook, and the key point was that this person was very active.
What he didn't know was that Fang Xiaoxi was so happy to get the new recipe that she couldn't wait to try it out.
When Fang Xiaoxi arrived at the kitchen, the cook hurried to greet her. Anyone who could be invited by the master and the mistress today was definitely not an ordinary person. He must be very close to them, so the cook respected him very much.
"Young lady, how did you get here? Would you like me to ask someone to take you to the front hall?"
Fang Xiaoxi shook her head: "No, I came to the kitchen specially to help cook a few dishes. My chef likes my cooking. You can just find two people to help me prepare the ingredients."
Hmm? The cook was a little puzzled. She was just thinking whether she should go to Qingyue to ask. This kitchen was a very important place that not everyone could enter. Then she saw Ziyuan coming towards her.
He bowed to Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Hello, Miss Xiaoxi. Madam asked me to come over and see you. Is there anything I can help you with? And you all, you must cooperate with whatever Miss Xiaoxi says."
Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes: "Thank you, Sister Ziyuan. I just arrived! I was just about to start."
Ziyuan nodded. She also knew some cooking skills, so she stayed to help. Fang Xiaoxi was busy in the kitchen.
Nannan had already found Beibei, and the two of them packed up and went to pay their respects to Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu. The old lady didn't have to do anything herself, she just went to take a look, and if she found that she liked it, she didn't have to do anything else, and she left with satisfaction.
The family gathered together to chat, and Father Fang was a little reserved. Although he was already very familiar with this family, he was still a little uncomfortable with the aura of these people.
Mu Yexiao and Master Fang were discussing the tax situation this time: "Don't worry, sir. The tax issue is almost settled. The only thing left is the farthest Tongjia Village. But I am a little worried. Tongjia Village has not paid taxes in these years. Will they deny it this time?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled when he heard this: "This village is also a citizen of my Great Zhou. They have been fleeing for so many years, and we have already shown them special favor by not letting them make up for it. How could they not pay taxes this year? But the road over there is not easy to travel. When you go there, bring more people with you so that it is easier to move the food. Also, let Liu Yifang go with you. He is very capable."
When Liu Yifang heard his name being called, he immediately stood up and bowed: "Madam, rest assured, I will protect everyone who goes there."
Qian Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction. Time passed quickly when she said this. Beibei asked curiously, "Mom, why didn't I see Fang Xiaoxi?"
"She was cooking in the kitchen. I gave her your master's treasure and she was very happy to experiment with it."
When speaking, Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised. She had always thought that Nan Nan and Fang Xiaoxi had a good relationship, but she didn't expect to ask about Bei Bei.
Beibei was a little confused. She knew the master's recipe. "Are you talking about the master's recipe? It's amazing. Can she understand it?"
Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a moment. She had not hidden the matter of the recipe from Nannanbeibei before. The two guys had also seen it, but after fiddling with it for a while, they gave it up again.
Previously, I thought that these two pairs were not interested in the recipes. Fortunately, Fang Xiaoxi was accepted, otherwise, I would have to suffer the consequences next time the master came back. But now, listening to what Beibei said, it seems that the two of them can't understand it
"You two are not interested, but you just can't understand it?"
Beibei nodded: "Yeah, it's all jumbled up, I can't understand it at all. My brother couldn't understand it either, so we tried to make it according to what was written on it, but it tasted terrible."
Although Qian Jiujiu had some doubts in her eyes, she had also made it according to the recipe, but it tasted terrible. She thought it was because of her poor talent, but it turned out that everyone was the same.
Suddenly figuring it out, Qian Jiujiu was in a good mood: "Then we can look forward to it. Xiao Xi went there very excitedly just now, so she should be able to understand it."
The conversation between the mother and her two children immediately attracted the attention of others. Mu Yexiao looked over and said, "That recipe is very precious. I didn't expect you to give it away like this."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched a few times, feeling a little embarrassed. Even though she had sharp eyes and golden pupils, she also had times when she didn't know what was good. She wondered if her master would beat her up if he knew. She looked at Mu Yexiao with some dissatisfaction: "Do you understand?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Of course I can understand it, otherwise why do you think I, who knows nothing, can make delicious food. That is a martial arts secret book, I only learned the cooking part, because my internal martial arts have already formed their own lineage."
"Fang Xiaoxi has never learned any other skills, so it's quite suitable for her to use. Maybe she can even give us a surprise! I just don't know if she can really understand it?"
The people of the Fang family understood what they heard, and Fang Xiaoxi took a treasure from Qian Jiujiu. Qian Jiujiu frowned and said, "No, I just gave Xiaoxi a technique to protect herself some time ago. Isn't this a waste?"
Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this? I'll know after asking you."
Just now, when Qian Jiujiu was testing Fang Xiaoxi's homework, these people were busy checking their own rooms and didn't know anything yet!
Fortunately, everyone didn't have to wait long before Fang Xiaoxi's food was ready and the servants brought it up one plate at a time.
As soon as I walked into the dining room, I smelled a special fragrance. This smell alone can whet one's appetite. Because there were many people today, there were two tables, one for men and one for women.
After sitting down, Beibei couldn't help but sniff: "Did Fang Xiaoxi really follow the recipe? It smells so good, it seems like she really understands the recipe."
Mu Yexiao was somewhat happy for Qian Jiujiu and looked at her: "I never thought that she is so talented in cooking. This is worth celebrating."
Qian Jiujiu laughed out loud: "That's true, no wonder I liked her the moment I saw her, this is what you call it, it must be predestined."
Fang Xiaoxi brought up the last dish and heard Qian Jiujiu's proud voice. She didn't know what he was saying. She respectfully put the dish on the table and walked in front of Qian Jiujiu: "Master, please check it."
Qian Jiujiu was not in a hurry to eat, but looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "Can you understand that recipe? And make the dishes according to the recipe?"
Fang Xiaoxi didn't know the secret of the recipe yet, and thought it was just an ordinary recipe, so she nodded immediately: "I understand, everything the master gives is good. When I was cooking just now, I found that my skills were increasing. Are the skills the master gave and the recipes paired?"
This was her true thought. Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes and said, "It seems that what he said is true. There is a destiny in the dark. You must keep this recipe well and don't lose it. Study it carefully. No one can understand this thing. I can't understand it either, so I can't help you."
"But you don't have to worry. I will write a letter to your master and tell him that I found you. He will definitely come to me happily."
Seeing Qian Jiujiu still nagging, it was obvious that she was too happy. The old lady wanted to eat a long time ago, and the fragrance kept attracting her: "Okay, Jiuer, eat first."
Qian Jiujiu scratched her head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Mom, I talked too much when I was happy. Let's eat, Xiaoxi, you sit down too."
The tofu that the old lady liked looked so shiny and appetizing that she asked the people around her to scoop a spoonful of it for her.
Then he couldn't stop eating it and asked someone to bring the tofu soup directly to him, which made Qian Jiujiu stunned.
The old lady had been a noble lady since she was born, and her words and actions were well-behaved. What she did today was considered out of the ordinary, and her dining habit was always to eat no more than three chopsticks of the same dish.
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but give Fang Xiaoxi a thumbs up. Fang Xiaoxi just smiled, but she understood. In a wealthy family, people don't talk while eating or sleeping. Sometimes it may be a rule, but sometimes it is because the food is so delicious.
Fang Xiaoxi cooked sixteen dishes for lunch today, and the people at the two tables ate all the dishes without leaving any. The old lady realized that she had lost her composure and felt a little embarrassed: "I'll go back to my room to rest first."
After the old lady left, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help laughing: "Mom is really cute, isn't it just eating a little more, what's the big deal. Well, but such delicious food can't be eaten often, is it bad for the body?"
Beibei had just been thinking about whether to keep Fang Xiaoxi at home and eat her cooking every day, but when she heard Qian Jiujiu's words, she immediately retorted: "Why?"
Qian Jiujiu laughed and said, "Of course it's because eating too much makes you fat. Well, I've eaten too much too, I need to take a rest, you guys can do whatever you want. Anyway, we don't know outsiders."
After saying that, Zhen stood up and left. Ziyuan immediately followed him. Mu Yexiao was a little helpless: "Master Fang, you can take your parents to the guest room to rest. If Xiaoxi has any questions, you can ask me. Before your master comes back, I can still help you answer questions."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded immediately: "Thank you, Master."
Mu Yexiao then stood up and chased in the direction where Qian Jiujiu left. Beibei was struggling, should she eat well or keep in shape
She is neither too old nor too young, and is at the age of pursuing beauty. She is in a dilemma. Nan Nan is a little helpless, and nods Bei Bei's head: "You are really easy to fool. Eat more, exercise, how can you get fat. But your idea is not going to work."
As expected of twins, they knew everything Beibei was thinking. After all, Nannan had also thought of this idea for a moment, and he believed that everyone would have this idea after eating the food made by Fang Xiaoxi.
