Views:

Nine days later, the exam was over, and everyone waited eagerly for the release of the rankings. The heat of Ruan Sanniang's pursuit plummeted, because neither party had any evidence, and there was a Concubine Mu on the head of the Mu family. An already bad reputation just got worse.

Apart from these two things, there is another thing worth mentioning. The fried noodles that Wen Tingzhou soaked in the test house were too delicious. After the first test, the fried noodles became famous.

Wen Tingzhou took the opportunity to push out the dry fried noodles. After he learned about the method of dry fried noodles from Ruan Xi, he got Ruan Xi's consent and opened a small shop in the name of Ruan Xi, specializing in selling dry fried noodles and fried noodles. Herbal teas are not expensive, and ordinary people can afford them, and they are sold exclusively to exam candidates.

This small shop was full of customers as soon as it opened, and it was very popular. It spread throughout the capital in just one day.

During the next six days of exams, the exam hall was filled with a strong aroma, which whetted the appetite.

The chief examiner and the invigilators twitched their mouths, feeling as if the serious examination room had suddenly turned into a restaurant.

"Miss, Miss San opened a fast-food shop opposite our shop that specializes in instant noodles. It is very similar to our fried noodles, except that there are two more things called seasoning packets and vegetable packets."

As soon as Suyu heard the news, she rushed to report it anxiously.

With a calm expression, Ruan Xi calmly finished copying a passage of scriptures before putting down the brush.

"Suyu, don't worry about this matter. I don't intend to sell dry fried noodles all the time. The purpose of opening the store is to provide hot food for exam takers."

"But Miss San is too much, the capital is so big, it's not good where to open, but it has to be opened opposite our shop, anyone with a discerning eye can see Miss San's malice, there are bad rumors outside."

Suyu felt wronged for the young lady, but she just couldn't swallow it.

Ruan Xi moved to the couch and sat down, said lightly.

"Suyu, calm down, third sister, the more you fight her, the happier she will be, because there are so many people who pay attention to her about being chased and killed. If I fight her, won't it be seen by outsiders? Just kidding, I have other plans for the shop."

As soon as Ruan Sanniang's instant noodles come out, the hostess Mu Qingci will definitely guess the identity of Ruan Sanniang's time-traveling woman.

As for the shop, Ruan Xi is going to sell braised duck. In fact, this dynasty also had a variety of braised duck, but it is very difficult to make it delicious. Ruan Xi's cooking skills are average, but her braised duck has a secret marinade, which is delicious. Beautiful, the meat is tender and sweet, and the marinade is thick and mellow.

Suyu's face turned pale instantly when she heard what the young lady said, and she almost broke out in a cold sweat, but her heart became more and more angry with the third young lady.

"Miss, if you don't sell fried noodles, then what will you sell? I'm most afraid that Miss San will follow us and sell the same thing."

Ruan Xi raised the corners of her lips: "Selling braised ducks."

Suyu: "..."

"Miss, as far as I know, there are already several famous restaurants in the capital selling braised meat, among which is the famous stewed duck dish."

Suyu was worried. In her opinion, it was better to sell dry fried noodles than to sell stewed duck when the young lady opened a shop. The stewed meat in those big restaurants was the secret recipe of the royal chef, and the stewed meat had a special flavor.

Among them is a large restaurant that is still owned by the Wen family.

Ruan Xi took a sip of the tea cup and said with a smile, "Suyu, don't worry, I also have a secret recipe for stewed meat."

When I went to pay my respects to the main courtyard this morning, for some reason, Mrs. Zhang asked her to choose a shop to practice hand skills. It happened that Wen Tingzhou gave her a shop, so Ruan Xi didn't choose the property of the uncle's mansion, and planned to run her own small shop. Shop, train a few cooks, and specialize in braised duck.

Suyu: "..." Miss said so, she lost confidence even more.

Ruan Xi didn't see Suyu's expression, so she set aside an hour every day to learn how to cook soup with Yang's mother. It's been more than ten days, but the soup still has the original taste, and the performance is shockingly stable.

Mama Yang has given up and started teaching her how to cook other side dishes, as long as she learns.

Ruan Xi decided to show off her specialty dish - braised duck.

Suyu: "..."

In the small kitchen, two cooks prepared as many as twenty kinds of marinade ingredients that Ruan Xi needed.

Ruanxi's secret stewed duck has complex and complicated procedures, which requires patience, especially the marinade.

This involves a secret of hers. She once found a piece of cloth in the interlayer of a strange wooden box that is invulnerable to water and fire. There is only a secret recipe for braised duck on the cloth. The stewed duck made according to this secret recipe of stewed duck is not harmful to the body at all, and has a nourishing effect, suitable for all ages.

Ruan Xi has made marinade several times according to the steps on the cloth, but the materials for making this marinade are very expensive. Ruan Xi only makes a stewed duck to satisfy his cravings.

Thinking of eating stewed duck as much as he wants in the future, Ruan Xi is full of motivation.

"Miss, do you really want to make your own marinade?" When it comes to confidentiality, there are only Ruan Xi and Suyu master and servant in the small kitchen, and Suyu temporarily serves as the fire maid.

Suyu once watched the chef make stewed duck in the big kitchen, and then saw the steps of the young lady making stewed duck, she was even more unconfident.

In fact, Miss can go to the big kitchen to get some thick marinade.

"Um."

Ruan Xi has made the marinade several times according to the steps on the cloth. She has long been familiar with the amount of ingredients and the order of placing them. child's play.

During the process of making the marinade, the aroma keeps wafting from the small kitchen. As time goes by, the huge sincerity house is filled with a strong stewed aroma.

"Miss, is the marinade ready yet?"

While lighting the fire, Suyu stared at the cauldron eagerly, swallowing hard.

The mistrust just now has long since disappeared.

"hold on."

In fact, Ruan Xi was also very uncomfortable with the stimulation of the smell of marinade, but she held on with great perseverance, her eyes were shining brightly, and the surprise in her eyes was about to overflow. She had cooked marinade several times, but she did not This time it is so fragrant and so gluttonous.

Is it because the ancient ingredients are natural and pollution-free

Ruan Xi secretly guessed.

Not far from the door of the small kitchen, many people gathered at some point.

The one who started it was the old lady of Ning Shoutang. The prayer beads in her hand had already stopped turning, and her nose moved unconsciously.

Mrs. Zhang, Ruan Sanniang, Ruan Yumin, Aunt Lin and others all came.

Ruan Sanniang's eyes were about to pierce through the door of the small kitchen, she did not expect that the fourth sister had such a secret marinade recipe in her hands.

I really don't know where the fourth sister got the secret recipe of marinade, it's so delicious.

Obviously, it never appeared in the previous life.

Ruan Sanniang was so stimulated by the scent that she was going crazy, and she swallowed hard.

In the small kitchen, Ruan Xi finally showed a smile.

"Okay, the marinade is ready, and the remaining duck stewing steps don't need to be kept secret, Suyu, go out and ask someone to slaughter twenty ducks, I'm going to show my skills today."

Suyu hurriedly opened the door of the small kitchen, and was startled when she saw the old lady waiting outside.

"Suyu, did Fourth Miss make marinade?"

Seeing that it was the old lady's confidant mother asking, Suyu nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss ordered the servants to have twenty ducks slaughtered."

"Fifty." The old lady tapped her cane and made a final decision.

Suyu had no choice but to go into the small kitchen and tell the lady that Ruan Xi was shocked when she learned that the old lady and others were attracted by the aroma of the marinade she made, and said calmly after recovering.

"Fifty is only fifty. When the time comes, call some people from the big kitchen to help."

The kitchen had servants who were responsible for slaughtering poultry. Fifty fat and tender ducks that had been slaughtered for plucking were quickly brought over, along with several chefs and their helpers.

These chefs have long been stimulated by the aroma of the marinade, and they started to marinate the duck according to Ruan Xi's instructions as soon as they arrived.

Ruan Xi marinated nine naked ducks with her own hands. She first dried the water on the ducks, and then wiped the ducks all over with the secret seasoning just now. , simmered and turned several times during the process to make it tasty.

The whole Chengyi Mansion is filled with the smell of stewed duck, which makes the mouth water with greed, which makes all the servants absent-minded in their work.

Half an hour later, the stewed duck was ready. After it cooled down, the chef with excellent knife skills cut it into neat thick slices, poured Ruanxi's secret marinade and served it out.

Looking at the plate of stewed duck with bright red color and strong fragrance in front of him, Ruan Xi took a deep breath, took a piece of stewed duck meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, after only one bite, all the fresh fragrance exploded on the tip of his tongue. An indescribable deliciousness surged from the tip of his tongue to his whole body, and Ruan Xi fell into a trance. He ate up the whole piece of fresh, tender and plump braised duck meat at once, only to recover from the ultimate deliciousness.

"Suyu, you have a piece too."

Ruan Xi smiled when she saw Suyu swallowing her saliva, Suyu was ecstatic, thanked the lady quickly, and quickly picked up a piece of braised duck meat and ate it.

"Oh my god, it's so fragrant, so tender, so crispy, so delicious!"

After Suyu finished eating, she looked at the stewed duck on the plate with unsatisfied desire, wishing to eat up the whole plate of stewed duck.

"Miss, can this servant have another piece?"

Seeing this, Ruan Xi had a sense of accomplishment, nodded generously, and glanced at the chefs in the small kitchen who were sharing a stewed duck. Ruan Xi thought of Wen Tingzhou, and quickly ordered Suyu.

"Suyu, go and get some food boxes, I'm going to send the stewed duck I made to Wen's house."

How can you not share the delicious food with Brother Tingzhou

The old lady and the others ate the stewed duck made by the chef. It wasn't that they couldn't trust Ruan Xi's craftsmanship, but that the chef was more experienced.

The stewed marinade is rich and unique, which does not mean that the duck in Ruanxi stew is tender and delicious.

Therefore, none of them ate the stewed duck that Ruan Xi made himself.

Ruan Xi was also happy.

"Yes, miss." Suyu ate up a piece of braised duck meat again, looked away reluctantly, quickly brought four big food boxes, and packed six braised ducks and two jars of marinade according to the miss's instructions.

After washing up, Ruan Xi specially wrote a letter and sent someone to send the stewed duck sealed in the food box to Wen's residence.

On this day, Uncle Chengyi, who came back from the government office, ate the stewed duck made by Ruanxi's secret marinade.

The old lady Zhang Shi Ruan Sanniang also had the same idea as Bo Chengyi.

Mama Lin and Mama Yang were lucky enough to taste the stewed duck made by Ruanxi, and they were both overwhelmed by the deliciousness of the stewed duck.

"Miss, I heard from Suyu that you plan to open a stewed duck restaurant?" Mother Lin asked suddenly.

Ruan Xi nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, that shop is located in a prosperous area of the capital. It would be too wasteful to sell dry fried noodles. I plan to use it to sell braised duck, but now it seems that it may not work."

"Miss, you are right to think so. Your secret marinade recipe is so good that it is easy to attract people's attention." Mama Yang said solemnly.

She thought of the Yang family's secret recipe for health preservation.

The difference is that Miss Fourth has the Wen family and Mrs. Wen as her backer.

Ruan Xi sighed in her heart, this was also unexpected to her, obviously the stewed duck she made in modern times was only better than the stewed duck made by the chef of the most famous restaurant here, it should not be as good as the palace The stewed duck made by the royal chef in the palace, but mother Yang and mother Lin told her that the stewed duck made by the royal chef in the palace was not as good as hers.

Things are getting worse.

At this time, Wen Tingzhou was enjoying the stewed duck sent by Ruanxi with Mrs. Wen Shangshu and Mrs. Wen in the main courtyard.

The news of Ruan Xi's stewed duck was told to Wen Tingzhou by Mama Lin. Wen Tingzhou was very surprised when he saw Mama Lin's letter. .

Wen Tingzhou has been waiting for Ruanxi's delicious braised duck.

Ruan Xi did not disappoint him.

Wen Tingzhou's eyes were full of smiles.

Of the six stewed ducks sent, Wen Tingzhou kept four after reading Ruan Ruan's letter, one was sent to Anguo Gong's mansion, and the other was given to Mrs. Wen.

"The stewed duck made by Ruan girl is more delicious than the one made by the royal chef in the palace. After eating it, I feel refreshed. It seems that the secret recipe of the marinade in her hand is not simple." After eating all four stewed ducks, Wen Shangshu squinted his eyes, His eyes were shining brightly.

"Yes, I have never eaten such a delicious braised duck. It would be great if I could eat one every day." Mrs. Wen agreed.

How could Wen Tingzhou fail to hear his father's intentions? He raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Father, this is a unique secret recipe that Ruan Ruan got by chance. It doesn't belong to the Ruan family. She told me in the letter that the secret sauce recipe will be used in the future. To be passed on as a family heirloom to her children and grandchildren."

There was a hint of toughness in his tone.

Wen Shangshu took a deep look at the eldest son, and suddenly laughed: "It's just Zhang's secret recipe for eating, and it's not a big deal. Tingzhou, if you think too much, how could I snatch the secret recipe from my future daughter-in-law? You should worry about it." What I want is sincerity."

Wen Tingzhou smiled lightly: "Father, don't worry, I won't let anyone take away Ruan Ruan's things."

Wen Shangshu looked surprised, he wanted to see where this son's confidence came from.
