Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

The news brought by Guo Yuchang was like a bolt from the blue!

Whether it is the Chen family or the Guo family, they are thousands of miles away from the Zhang family, the county magistrate's wife's natal family. How dare they dare and how can they have the opportunity to provoke them?

"Thanks to Xiao Yuan for this. After you brought the buns yesterday, I went to the college to give some to Xiao Yuan. When he was sharing the food with his classmates, he was seen by Young Master Zhang who was passing by. Young Master Zhang suddenly He said the buns were unclean and told him not to eat them. Xiaoyuan asked a few more questions and told me when he came back in the evening. As soon as I heard that, I came as soon as the city gate opened today."

Everyone looked at Guo Yuchang's son, Guo Xingyuan.

Guo Xingyuan frowned and said: "Zhang Ling is the son of the Zhang family. He has a very serious mysophobia. He usually loses his temper if anyone in the college soils his clothes. Other times, he is fine.

He said the buns were unclean and I asked him why he said that. He said that the bun sellers were not hygienic and had sores on their faces while selling the buns. Whoever ate them would get sores. When I heard this, I quickly asked him who gave them to him. He said it was Wang Deshui who said it.

Sister Xi, my father has already told me about the buns you sold yesterday. This matter must have been deliberately planned by Wang Deshui! He first let Zhang Ling eat the buns, and then let him know about your face. Zhang Ling must have been furious, so he sent people to smash your stall. "

Chen Xi and the Chen family were so angry that their chests heaved. Who would have thought that after a hundred turns, the root of the trouble still lies with the Wang family!

Chen Erhai immediately stood up and was about to walk out, but Luo Shi quickly held him back.

"What are you doing!"

"The Wang family has gone too far to bully others, I'm going to argue with them!"

Chen Xi sighed, "Second uncle, don't go. It's useless."

. "

"Are we going to let him ruin our business like this?"

"This time we have no choice but to admit defeat, because what he said is true! He clearly means to kill people with a borrowed knife. If we go to find trouble with him, maybe he has some tricks waiting for us. We must calm down and must not Jump into the trap he designed!"

Hearing what Chen Xi said, Chen Erhai was so angry that he punched the wall.

Chen Xi didn't have any good ideas for a while.

Originally, she thought about reporting to the official, but now the person who ruined their business is the nephew of the county magistrate's wife. Is reporting to the official useful?

Chen Xi asked Guo Xingyuan: "Does Wang Deshui have a good relationship with Mr. Zhang?"

Guo Xingyuan pouted: "Young Master Zhang's status is one of the best in the academy. Everyone wants to curry favor with him, and Wang Deshui naturally does the same. But Young Master Zhang is not warm to him at all. I'm afraid even he will be angry after this incident." .”

After all, it was only because of Wang Deshui that Mr. Zhang found out about her face and was disgusted.

Chen Xi was relieved to hear this.

As long as Wang Deshui can no longer rely on Mr. Zhang's power, she is not afraid!

Everyone was silent and gradually looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi saw everyone's gazes and pretended to smile casually: "It's okay, troubles are meant to be solved! Mr. Zhang will probably still remember this matter for a while, so let's not get into trouble with him first. He forgot about it for a while, and we will start business again!”

Guo Yuchang's family came to report the news early in the morning, so naturally they couldn't be allowed to leave without eating.

Chen Xi took the initiative to show off his skills in cooking for everyone, and went shopping with Guo Xingyuan and his younger brother Chen Qi.

After cutting the pork belly and ribs, when I got home, I found that Chen Sanhe had also slaughtered two chickens.

Chen Xi said that he would show off his skills, which made everyone look forward to it.

After all, the last time she said she wanted to show off her skills, she came up with leek and egg buns, which got them started in business.

In the small kitchen, Guo's three sisters-in-law and Guo Yuchang's wife Qin came in to help.

It would take a long time for Chen Xi to prepare so many ingredients alone, so she was not polite and arranged work for everyone.

"First uncle, please cut off the breasts of these two chickens and cut them into cubes. Second uncle, chop the remaining chicken into small pieces. Don't throw away the chicken bones. Keep them for a while and I will make soup." , you cut the pork belly into two-finger-wide and three-finger-long pieces, and I’ll make the braised pork. Sister, the clothes you’re wearing are light-colored, so you don’t have to go inside. Peel some green onions for me, I’ll use them more later!”

Guo Yuchang's wife, Qin, was not born as a peasant girl. Her family was originally engaged in small business. After following Guo Yuchang for so many years, she has become somewhat bookish and speaks softly.

"Xiao Xi, you don't need to be sorry for my clothes. I'll peel the onions first. You can tell me what you want to do later."

Chen Xi smiled and nodded, then started chopping the ribs.

Because they had to cook a lot of food today, the three brothers of the Chen family set up two simple stoves in the yard and borrowed the pot from their eldest uncle's and second uncle's parents' homes, so they could have dinner at noon.

The meat dishes include braised pork with potatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken, and spicy chicken nuggets. The vegetarian dishes include stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried lettuce, hot and sour potato shreds, garlic sweet potato stalks, cold mycelium, and fried peanuts. The soup is Carrot, mushroom, chicken soup, seaweed, egg drop and tomato soup.

When the dishes were all served, everyone was reluctant to use chopsticks for a moment, just because the dishes on the table were

It's really beautiful.

The most knowledgeable person among the people present was naturally Guo Yuchang, but he also asked dumbfounded: "Xiao Xi, is this really your cooking?"

Mrs. Qin on the side had already been shocked by Chen Xi's cooking skills. Now she saw that her husband, a biological uncle, was shocked and couldn't help but smile: "I can testify that it was indeed made by Xiao Xi!"

"When did Xiao Xi become so good at cooking! She is comparable to the chef at Fumanlou!"

Mrs. Guo shook her head: "This girl, we don't know when she became so good at cooking. The first time she showed off her skills was when she steamed buns for us!"

Although the Chen family and others were proud, they were also curious, when did Xiaoxi learn to cook these dishes, and why had they never seen her cook them before?

Chen Xi no longer wanted to hide his cooking skills, so he simply took this opportunity to make an excuse for himself.

"I never thought about cooking before, but they say that to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach. Wang Deshui passed the scholar examination. I was afraid that he would be bad for me when he became a high official in the future, so I thought of pondering Who knew I had figured out this method of cooking, but he broke off the engagement!"

Once they heard that it was related to Wang Deshui, no one dared to dig deeper, for fear of arousing her sadness again.

"It's Wang Deshui who is unlucky! Xiao Xi, you are so good at cooking, you will definitely find a better husband in the future!"

"Haha, let's talk about the future later. Now let's start using chopsticks and have a taste!"

“You don’t have to taste it, you can tell it’s delicious just by smelling it and looking at it!”

Everyone ate happily, and the table full of dishes was finally eaten clean.

When Chen Xi got up to clean up, he was stopped by everyone and said

She worked hard to prepare a table of dishes today, so let her have a good rest.

After everything was tidied up and everyone sat together again, Chen Xi expressed his thoughts.

"Although Mr. Zhang's incident was a sudden disaster, it also gave us a warning! We know that our buns are definitely cleaner than ordinary people's, but who made me have this strange disease? As long as the business has something to do with me, it will definitely It will give people a bad association, and sooner or later there will be hidden dangers! So if we want to continue our business, we have to have nothing to do with me!"

As soon as he said this, the others suddenly became anxious.

"Xiao Xi, how can the business have nothing to do with you! How can the business be done if it has nothing to do with you!"

"Xiao Xi, if this business has nothing to do with you, then our family should not do business at all. If we continue to do business, you must be here!"

Chen Xi was moved after hearing what everyone said, and waved his hands to stop everyone.

"Maybe I didn't express it clearly just now. What I mean is that on the surface, let outsiders see that the business has nothing to do with me, and let them know that the buns they eat have nothing to do with me! Of course, in fact, we are still working together, no Will be separated!"

Only then did everyone laugh.

Chen Dajiang said: "Oh, I felt relieved when you said that. But when you said it had nothing to do with you, I instantly lost my confidence!"

"Haha, me too!"

Chen Erhai asked again: "Xiao Xi, what do you have in mind?"

Chen Xi nodded: "Well, I have an idea. We might as well rent a store directly on Pier Street!"
