That evening, Uncle Chengyi stepped into Chengxin Garden.
Ruan Xi secretly sighed how fast it came.
As soon as Uncle Chengyi came, he pushed back the servants in the room, and asked Ruan Xi the secret recipe directly.
"Si Niang, I heard you have a secret recipe for marinade?"
Although the Chengyi Mansion has a big family and a big business, it also has a lot of expenses, and most of them are produced by the ancestral property and the farm shop. After discovering new ways to open source, especially the secret recipe of stewed duck that can be passed down from generation to generation, Chengyi is very excited.
The stewed duck that I ate today is really delicious, and Chengyibo still has a lot of aftertaste. If this delicious stewed duck is added to the restaurant of Chengyibo's mansion, the customers will definitely come like a cloud.
"Yes, father." Ruan Xi showed a faint smile, and poured a cup of tea for Uncle Chengyi who had just taken his seat.
"Si Niang, where did you get the secret recipe for marinade?" Uncle Chengyi didn't drink tea, tapped his finger on the table, and asked tentatively, this daughter has never left the uncle's mansion alone, and the number of times she has left the mansion can be counted on two hands .
Uncle Chengyi really wanted to know whether the secret recipe of marinade in Si Niang's hands had anything to do with the Wen family.
"Father, do you still remember the incident when grandma took her daughter to Yunhua Temple to offer incense two years ago?" Ruan Xi answered irrelevantly.
Uncle Chengyi's eyes froze slightly when he heard Siniang mention the matter of going to Yunhua Temple two years ago.
"Si Niang, did you get the secret recipe for marinade from Yunhua Temple?"
"Yes, father. In fact, my daughter met Mr. Wen by chance at that time. This recipe for stewed duck was given to Mr. Wen by a mysterious Taoist, and it does not belong to the Wen family."
"Mr. Wen privately copied a copy for his daughter as a dowry a few days ago."
Ruan Xi nodded and lied without changing his face, and pulled the tiger's skin. With Wen Tingzhou's help, Ruan Xi was not afraid of tearing the tiger's skin.
Although she doesn't have the memory of the original owner, she can forge one. Ruan Xi knew that the original owner must have been alone with Wen Tingzhou during the appointment in the small meditation room, which means that the original owner disappeared for a while in the eyes of the servants. This is a very good reason.
If not, how would a boudoir lady get the secret recipe of stewed duck? Could it be said that it was a relic of her biological mother? This is ridiculous. The original owner disappeared after giving birth to her. Where did the secret recipe come from
Grandpa is not stupid.
This is the idea that Ruan Xi came up with all afternoon. She didn't want to give up her plan to sell braised ducks, so she could only solve the problem of the secret recipe first.
Uncle Chengyi frowned, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the secret recipe of stewed duck belonged to Mr. Wen, and he had something to do with the mysterious Taoist. His plan was about to fail.
What surprised him even more was that Si Niang and Mr. Wen met two years ago. No wonder Mr. Wen, who has rejected many famous girls, would agree to this marriage.
Now he even privately gave her the unique secret recipe of stewed duck as a dowry. It seems that Mr. Wen's affection for Si Niang is deeper than he imagined.
Sincerity swept away the disappointment just now. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t get the secret recipe for stewed duck. After all, it belongs to Mr. Wen. Sincerity still regrets losing a golden mountain that can produce gold, but compared with his official career, Chengyi chooses official career. He exhorted with a serious face.
"Since it is the dowry that Mr. Wen gave you in private, you should keep it in your hands and pass it on to your children and grandchildren in the future. Don't let it out."
"I'll discuss it with Mr. Wen to see if I can tell the public that the secret recipe was given to you by the mysterious Taoist."
Mr. Wen did not give the secret recipe of stewed duck to Wen's family, but gave it to his daughter privately. Uncle Chengyi couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.
Ruan Xi: "..."
"Will Mr. Wen agree, if the mysterious Taoist gets angry after knowing it..." Ruan Xi deliberately showed concern, reminding Uncle Daddy, the "real owner" of the secret recipe of stewed duck, just in case.
Uncle Chengyi thought of the mysterious methods of some Taoists, and immediately put away those thoughts that should not have been: "As long as Mr. Wen agrees, it should be fine."
Ruan Xi seemed relieved, and told Uncle Cheng about his plan to open a shop to sell braised ducks.
Uncle Chengyi nodded in agreement, the Wen family was responsible for the secret recipe of the stewed duck, who would dare to take it by force, but Uncle Chengyi proposed to provide part of the stewed duck to the restaurant under the name of the uncle's house.
You can't take the secret recipe of stewed duck for yourself, but you can enjoy it.
Ruan Xi didn't refuse, as long as the secret recipe of stewed duck still belonged to her.
Uncle Chengyi came here on a whim and went back satisfied.
Suyu Suzhu, who was worried, saw that the uncle had left, and hurried in to comfort the young lady, but she saw that the young lady was drinking tea calmly.
"Miss, uncle, does he want to take away your secret recipe for stewed duck?" Suyu asked cautiously.
"Don't think too much, father is not that kind of person." Ruan Xi smiled slightly.
Suyu Suzhu looked surprised.
Ruan Xi is quite satisfied with Uncle's attitude, and I believe that Zhang and others who want to beat her secret recipe for stewed duck will stop.
Don't think that she doesn't know that Mrs. Zhang sent someone to inquire about the ingredients used in her small kitchen. Unfortunately, the ingredients for the secret recipe of marinade are similar, and there is no recipe, even if you know the ingredients, it's useless.
That night, Ruanxi's Chengxin Garden was very peaceful, but Mrs. Zhang and others, who had been warned by Bo Chengyi, were tossing and turning.
Knowing that there is a mountain of gold and silver in front of you, but you can only watch and not move, no one will be reconciled.
Ruan Sanniang is fine, she has a lot of ideas for making money, but who doesn't like delicious food, she has eaten a lot of stewed duck secretly prepared by the palace in her previous life, and compared with the stewed duck made by the fourth sister, she was abruptly inferior.
The stewed duck made by Simei is simply top-notch delicacy.
Ruan Sanniang especially wanted to eat the stewed duck made by her fourth younger sister, but the relationship between the two was so close that she let go of harsh words. It was only a few days before she slapped herself in the face, of course Ruan Sanniang was not happy.
Anyway, Simei will open a shop, so there will be no worries about food.
Thinking about it this way, Ruan Sanniang stopped being entangled. She lay on the bed thinking about other things.
She was hunted down and escaped. Not only did Qi Yue'an, the fiancé, arrive late, but he only sent someone to send him a gift, without a single word of concern. The more Ruan Sanniang thought about it, the more angry she became.
Now she doubts very much whether this Qi Yuean is really the Qi Yuean from the previous life
Thinking of Mr. Wen's caring and considerate appearance to his fourth younger sister, Ruan Sanniang became more and more jealous.
It would be great if she was reborn on the body of the fourth sister, it was because of the bad fate of the original owner that bothered her.
Ruan Sanniang once again dumped the blame on the original owner's life.
Ruan Sanniang, who was in an extremely bad mood, rarely thought of the situation of Mu Qingci, a good sister, and pretended to be sympathetic to each other, but she felt a little bit of happiness in her heart.
But Ruan Sanniang felt very resentful when she thought of the Mu family who had been exposed to many crimes secretly but only suffered a little injury.
Damn old emperor, damn Concubine Mu.
She must hug the fourth prince's thigh so that he can ascend to that position as soon as possible, and she will not be surnamed Ruan if the Mu family is not brought down.
At this time, Ruan Sanniang, who had raised her fighting spirit, didn't know that the instant noodles she made had reached Mu Qingci's hands.
Mu Qingci, who was driven to the dilapidated courtyard, ate cold rice and cold dishes with clear soup and little water for three meals a day. She didn't know how long she was going to live here.
Under the dim candlelight, Mu Qingci touched her empty stomach, and she was going to sleep hungry again tonight.
At this time, her personal maid, Mei Hua, came back and was driven to this dilapidated courtyard. The only loyal girl, Mei Hua, was willing to follow Mu Qingci, and everyone else found other ways to leave.
"Miss, this servant bought you delicious food." Plum Blossom mysteriously took out a small cloth bag.
"This is the instant noodles made by Ms. Ruan San. There are vegetable packets and seasoning packets. You just need to soak them in hot water to soften them and you can eat them. I heard that they are very fragrant and delicious. They are not expensive. You can buy a packet for 30 yuan. The servant secretly went out through the back door and bought five packs." Mei Hua said excitedly.
Mu Qingci looked in shock at the familiar and unfamiliar instant noodles in front of her.
"Meihua, you said that Miss Ruan San made these instant noodles?"
"That's right, Miss Ruan Si made delicious dry fried noodles for Mr. Wen's meeting to try hot food, and Miss Ruan San made instant noodles with various vegetables and seasoning packets, which is better than dry fried noodles If you eat too much, the most expensive beef instant noodles cost one or two taels of silver for a pack." Mei Hua nodded, although she was angry that Miss Ruan San had repeatedly cheated her, but it didn't mean she hated the food that Miss Ruan San made.
"It turned out that Sanniang made the food, Meihua, go and make a pack of instant noodles for me."
Mu Qingci pursed her lips and said, with a complicated look on her face, she really didn't expect that there was a fellow traveler beside her.
Thinking that he had offended the Fourth Prince twice because of Ruan Sanniang, Mu Qingci had no intention of recognizing Ruan Sanniang.
She didn't know whether Ruan Sanniang did it on purpose or not.
After just getting along a few times, Mu Qingci still has a little understanding of Ruan Sanniang. She has an inexplicable sense of superiority. She didn't know that she was also a time-traveling woman before, and thought it was the arrogance of noble ladies.
Now it seems that it is obviously a sense of superiority as a time traveler, or a person who brings trouble to people around him.
Mu Qingci thought, if Ruan Sanniang knew that she was also a fellow villager, she might not be happy, maybe... She secretly rejoiced that Ruan Sanniang exposed her early, if one day she accidentally let her go, she would be in trouble.
Mu Qingci decided to stay away from Ruan Sanniang, just now there is a ready-made reason.
But thinking of her own situation... Mu Qingci pursed her lips, maybe in a few days she will be dispatched to the family temple to accompany the green lantern, and Ruan Sanniang would like to stay away from her.
While Mu Qingci was thinking wildly, Mei Hua came over with fragrant instant noodles.
"Miss, the noodles are ready, eat them quickly, they won't taste good when they get cold." Mei Hua swallowed and said hastily.
Mu Qingci didn't think about anything else, she was very hungry now, it was important to fill her stomach first.
"Plum Blossom, go soak a bag yourself and try it."
Meihua thought that there were still four packs of instant noodles left, so she quickly shook her head: "Miss, no need, this servant is not hungry."
Mu Qingci finally convinced Meihua that she still had some money in her hand, and she could eat instant noodles for several months, not missing the package.
Meihua is a loyal maid, she can't treat her badly.
Meihua was very touched when she ate the delicious noodles.
After the master and servant finished eating, Meihua cleaned up and looked at the young lady's satisfied look, biting her lips and opening her mouth.
"Miss, Miss Ruan San has hurt you so badly, after the limelight is over, you don't want to associate with Miss Ruan San again."
Mu Qingci knew that Mei Hua had good intentions, but it was a pity that Mei Hua didn't know Ruan Sanniang's temperament. She nodded seriously and said, "Mei Hua, don't worry, you will gain wisdom from a pitfall. I was cheated by her twice, and I will definitely not associate with her again."
At this time, Mu Qingci still didn't know how entangled and thick-skinned Ruan Sanniang was, as long as she entered the fourth prince's residence, Ruan Sanniang would be a sticky candy that couldn't be shaken off.
"Miss, it's great for you to think so. You don't know that Miss Ruan San opened a shop selling instant noodles opposite Miss Ruan Si's shop selling dry fried noodles. I think it's over." Plum Blossom said happily.
Mu Qingci, who had no information, was shocked: "She really did that?"
Mei Hua nodded again and again: "Yes, there are a lot of gossip outside."
Mu Qingci: "..."
This night, Mu Qingci finally didn't go to bed hungry anymore.
The next day, news suddenly came that the Fourth Prince was willing to accept Mu Qingci as his concubine.
Ruan Xi was not surprised to hear the news, but in this way, Mu Qingci would be entangled by Ruan Sanniang again.
After sighing, Ruan Xi took the guards out of the mansion to meet Wen Tingzhou at the Wen Family Restaurant.
