Day by day, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The No. 1 braised duck restaurant in the world is still very popular. The strange thing is that such a popular braised duck restaurant only opens for an hour every day and then closes, which makes the shopkeepers of the surrounding shops envious. .
This time, Ruan Xi became the most eye-catching person in the capital with his unique secret recipe for braised duck. Someone laughed and teased Mr. Wen, no, he should be called Mr. Wen now, saying that Mr. Wen is lucky and will marry a female God of Wealth.
Wen Tingzhou agreed with a smile, with a proud look that made people feel toothache.
As the reputation of the best stewed duck in the world is growing, no one in the whole capital knows its name. Rich businessmen from other places often come here. The best stewed duck is bought together by several people.
However, the braised duck shop only sells one hundred braised ducks a day, and it depends on luck whether you can buy them. More and more people protested the increase in quantity, but Ruan Xi ignored them all.
The popularity and huge profits of the braised duck restaurant have attracted many jealous people. If there is no imperial plaque to suppress it, declaring that the owner of the braised duck recipe is Ruan Xi, I don’t know how many demons and ghosts are secretly plotting to take over Ruan Xi Braised duck recipe.
To increase the number, wouldn't that stimulate others to take risks
In case someone goes mad and assassinates her...
Ruan Xi didn't think she was thinking too much, the secret recipe of stewed duck can't be robbed, but she can be killed as the master, isn't it
Not only that, there are visitors to Chengyi Bo's house every day, and all kinds of relatives with a little relationship come to the door one after another. Mrs. Zhang has long been fascinated by the huge profits of the braised duck restaurant, and secretly wants Ruan Xi to cook more pots of marinade for him. Her natal family, Ruan Xi refused without hesitation, and told her uncle about it. Uncle Dad didn't know what he said, and Mrs. Zhang no longer mentioned the matter of making marinade, but every time she saw Ruan Xi, she didn't look good.
Ruan Xi didn't care at all.
Who doesn't know that the essence of braised duck's deliciousness lies in the marinade, and Mrs. Zhang made a good plan.
Take her marinade for other lo mei.
Ruan Xi had just returned from greeting the old lady at Ning Shoutang today when she saw Mama Yang looking at her and smiling.
Ruan Xi felt strange, and couldn't help asking: "Mother Yang, why do you keep looking at me and smiling?"
Mother Yang coughed, and couldn't help but reply: "Miss, do you know what title people outside gave you?"
Ruan Xi was curious that someone actually gave her a nickname.
"What title?"
"Ahem, a lot of people outside are calling you Braised Duck Xishi." Mama Yang couldn't help laughing out loud, explaining the origin of this name while laughing.
There is also a stunning beauty named Xi Shi in the history here.
Ruan Xi's beauty is unquestionable. Everyone knows that Miss Ruan Si is extremely beautiful, and her stewed duck is top-notch.
Some people joked that Ruan Xi was a stewed duck Xi Shi, and for some reason, this joke suddenly became popular, and Miss Ruan Si became a stewed duck Xi Shi inexplicably.
As long as the braised duck Xi Shi is mentioned, everyone knows that it is Miss Ruan Si. It can be said that the braised duck Xi Shi has become Ruan Xi's code name.
Ruan Xi was dumbfounded.
What the hell is braised duck Xi Shi
Even tofu Xi Shi is a hundred times better than braised duck Xi Shi.
Ruan Xi was very depressed, but it was a pity that she couldn't stop Youyou's mouth. The damn thing is, there must be someone helping her to make fun of her.
As long as she still sells stewed ducks, the title of stewed duck Xi Shi may not be shaken off.
If you give up selling stewed ducks to make money for a name, I'm afraid it's what those people want.
Of course Ruan Xi would not do this, she is not a pure ancient noble girl, isn't she just called the Braised Duck Xi Shi
It's no big deal, money is the real deal.
Ruan Xi comforted silently.
It's just that the code name of Braised Duck Xi Shi is really rustic, very rustic.
Suyu Suzhu laughed so hard that the flower branches trembled.
"Mother Yang, Suyu Suzhu, do you think I should be let out? If you call me braised duck Xishi again, I will close the store and stop selling braised duck."
Ruan Xi deliberately said angrily.
Mother Yang quickly shook her head and persuaded: "Miss, don't do this, Xi Shi is a famous beauty in history, you should take this title as their recognition of your beauty."
Mama Yang knew very well that this stewed duck Xi Shi was just a way for some people to scare Miss, if they closed the stewed duck shop because of this, it would be their trick.
"Yes, yes, it's just a joke. Miss, please don't close the store. It's better to keep the store open and make a lot of money. I'm jealous of them." Suyu also hurriedly joined the ranks of persuasion.
Ruan Xi chuckled.
"Okay, I'm just joking. The stewed duck Xi Shi does not match my status, but I won't be against money. I still have to earn a dowry for myself."
The dowry is a woman's security, and this holds true both in ancient and modern times.
Although sincerely the uncle's mansion gave her a generous dowry, it is more confident that she can earn money.
Especially this kind of secret recipe that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Mother Yang: "..."
Suyu Suzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Ruan Xi smiled, and the Braised Duck Xi Shi just exposed it without causing any waves.
After the lunch break, Ruan Xi went to visit Ruan Yuwen in his yard. A few days ago, Ruan Yuwen had an accident in the academy and sprained his ankle. He has been recuperating in the mansion for the past few days.
To Ruan Xi's surprise, the Holy Majesty sent two imperial physicians to treat Ruan Yuwen, and they had to come for follow-up visits every day.
Ruan Xi only thought it was weird, but couldn't tell what was weird, so Wen Tingzhou had to send two more braised ducks into the palace.
That night, Wen Tingzhou couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhang Qing say that someone outside had nicknamed Ruan Ruan Xi Shi, and wrote a letter to tease Ruan Xi.
It is also a kind of fun for two people to come and laugh at each other.
Ruan Xi no longer has any grievances about the nickname of Braised Duck Xi Shi.
Calculating the time, one month is about to pass. The heroine Mu Qingci entered the fourth prince's mansion two days ago, and Ruan Sanniang came back from the prison in a few days.
Now the mansion will not be peaceful again.
Ruan Sanniang's life in this life was worse than in her previous life. At least in her previous life, she lived a reckless life. Everyone knows that she 'invented' many very practical things. The new farm tools are also in the name of the imperial court.
Ruan Xi felt a little complicated, looking at the clear weather outside, Ruan Xi was going to study with Lin's mother in the next room.
Suyu ran in panting.
"Miss, it's too bad, there is news from outside that the No. 1 braised duck restaurant in the world has been smashed."
Ruan Xi frowned slightly.
"When did the braised duck shop get smashed?"
Knowing that she has the emperor as her backer and dared to smash the store, needless to say, she must have caused trouble on purpose.
"When the store just closed in the morning, I heard that someone smashed the store in a fit of anger because they couldn't get any braised duck." Suyu wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve and said pantingly.
The shop can be repaired if it is smashed. Ruan Xi only cares about whether there is any injury. She wants to ask Suyu, but she probably doesn't know. Why don't you go there in person: "Suzhu, go ask someone to prepare a carriage."
Suzhu nodded quickly and went out.
Two quarters of an hour later, Ruan Xi hurried out of Chengyi Bo's mansion with his guards.
A black-painted canopy carriage was driving towards the Braised Duck Shop, and just entered the busy street when the leader of the guards shouted loudly from outside.
"There is an enemy attack, miss protection!"
Ruan Xi in the carriage was startled, before she could react, there was a shrill neigh, the carriage shook violently, and the driver was thrown out without noticing.
The frightened horses galloped wildly, the pulled carriage bumped violently, the guards were entangled by men in black, screams sounded from all around, stalls were knocked over, and things flew around.
Both Ruan Xi and Su Zhu tightly hugged the fixtures of the carriage, Su Yu's face turned pale and she shouted in panic, "Miss, what should I do?"
The carriage shook violently, reeling from side to side.
Ruan Xi fixed her body with a pretty face and did not speak.
People on both sides of the street fled one after another, and Wen Tingzhou just came out of the restaurant after chatting with Qi Yuean, who had changed his face.
Seeing the commotion ahead, Wen Tingzhou frowned slightly. At this time, someone in the panicked crowd shouted: "The horse is startled, the horse is startled, disperse, disperse."
As soon as the words were finished, a low-key black-painted canopy carriage came galloping.
When Wen Tingzhou saw the familiar carriage, his pupils constricted suddenly, and as soon as he moved, a gleaming dagger suddenly appeared in his hand and shot out.
With a puff, the dagger sank into the eyes of the berserk horse, and immediately after that, two cold lights sank into the horse's front legs.
One of them was written by Qi Yuean.
The frantic and frightened horse screamed and screamed, and its four hooves moved wildly. After a while, the huge horse body crashed down.
The swaying and bumpy carriage continued to rush forward under the inertia, and it just overturned...
There was a scream, and two slender figures were thrown out of the carriage.
"Miss!"
The guards behind finally rushed over, but they saw this thrilling scene.
The surrounding crowd scattered in panic.
"Ruan Ruan!"
Wen Tingzhou's heart skipped a beat, his figure moved, and he quickly flew in the direction where Ruan Xi was flying.
The dizzy Ruan Xi turned pale when he saw that the direction of being thrown was a food stall.
At this time, she suddenly heard Wen Tingzhou's voice, and then she fell into a familiar and warm embrace, tightly embraced by a pair of strong arms.
"Ruan Ruan, don't be afraid, it's okay." The deep and familiar voice carried a touch of reassurance.
It was Wen Tingzhou, it was really him.
Ruan Xi looked at Wen Tingzhou's handsome face that was close at hand, and fell into his arms. At this time, Ruan Xi was very embarrassed. The pearl hairpin on his head had fallen into nowhere, and his black hair was scattered randomly, looking pitiful and innocent. Fragile, especially arousing pity.
"Ruan Ruan, don't be afraid, I'm here." Seeing the panic in Ruan Ruan's eyes that hadn't faded away, Wen Tingzhou hugged her tightly, and continued to comfort his frightened fiancée softly.
"Miss, are you all right?"
Suzhu gritted her teeth and limped over to ask concerned, and the guards also gathered around to plead guilty.
Qi Yuean stood aside silently.
Ruan Xi had regained his composure at this time, and smiled at everyone in Wen Tingzhou's arms.
"I'm fine."
Speaking of her falling from Wen Tingzhou's arms, who knows that as soon as her feet landed, there was a piercing pain, and Ruan Xi couldn't help crying out in pain.
"A sprained foot?"
"Seems to be."
Wen Tingzhou was startled, hugged him up nervously, and glanced at everyone present.
"I'll send Ruan Ruan to the medical hall first, and I will hand it over to the people from Wucheng Bingma Division later."
After finishing speaking, Wen Tingzhou hurriedly carried Ruan Xi to the nearest medical center, but no one saw the storm in his eyes.
The broken carriage and the dead horse that fell to the ground remained where they were, and the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed.
The news that Miss Ruan Si's carriage was attacked spread quickly, and spread throughout the entire capital within an hour.
