Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

It was just dawning, and Mu Zhiyuan took Mao Xi back to Tianjie, Beidu, and found a food shop by the city gate.

Although this restaurant is small, it is already full.

"Shop, do you have any stomach-warming porridge?"

The cook in charge of the kitchen hurriedly stepped forward to recommend her signature dish: "My guest, our Song Ji's fish porridge is the most delicious. May I serve you two bowls?"

"Then let's have two bowls of fish soup and two pancakes."

When Mao Xi saw that the fish soup was extremely delicious, he quickly finished the entire bowl of porridge.

It really warms the stomach and the fish is delicious. No wonder the shop is packed with people early in the morning.

"Brother Mu, should we go back directly? Why don't we say hello to the others?"

Mao Xi originally planned to wait until the birthday banquet was over before visiting Princess Le'an and Xiao Yun, the prime minister's daughter.

Mu Zhiyuan had just rescued Shui Xi from the tiger's mouth. At the moment, he just wanted to take her and leave Beidu, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.

"Go back to the inn first. Lu Da and Lou Lan'er have packed up in advance and are waiting for us there. In addition, I have asked Yi Zhili to return to the prince."

After eating a bowl of warm porridge, Mao Xi has regained some strength.

She dismounted and followed Mu Zhiyuan on foot to meet Lu Da at the inn.

"Ah Shu, I'm relieved to see you're okay. Let's go." When Lou Lan'er saw Shu Xi, she rushed up and hugged her.

The four of them left the city in a carriage.

It was just after midnight, and the sun had already risen. The sunlight fell on Mu Zhiyuan on horseback, giving him a warm yellow halo.

Mao Xi opened the bamboo curtain of the carriage and secretly glanced at Mu Zhiyuan, her heart beating faster again.

She looked back at Beidu, a place of right and wrong.

She was still a little scared about what she had experienced in the past few days. Although she had some regrets about not being able to enter the palace to experience the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she could help eradicate the Black Orchid Society. Her days in Lihua Town would be worry-free.

"Sister Lan'er, I forgot to buy some specialties and go home!" Shui Xi had just recovered her strength, and then she remembered to bring some food back to her family.

Lou Lan'er patted her bulging luggage and said happily: "After finding you last night, Brother Lu Da and I went back to the inn first. These are local specialties that I asked the innkeeper to buy for me."

"Ahem... If you go to the shopkeeper to buy something, you will definitely get ripped off!"

"Hahaha... Fortunately, Brother Mu gave me a lot of money."

"Let me see what you bought...dried apricots, naan, osmanthus cakes..."

This morning, the grand ceremony at Qiongtai Temple was held as scheduled.

Officials, queen mothers, princes, princes and princesses all attended the pilgrimage.

Everything went smoothly according to the pre-arranged procedures.

After the ceremony, Princess Le'an learned from the spies she sent that after just one night, Mu Zhiyuan had seized the black gunpowder, destroyed the Black Orchid Association's main altar, and took Mao Xi back to Lingnan early in the morning.

She had some regrets.

After all, she liked the delicacies made by Miao Xi very much. She originally wanted Miao Xi to present her cooking skills at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

She could take the opportunity to ask the Queen Mother to keep Mao Xi in the palace as a royal cook.

In this way, he can always taste Mao Xi's cooking skills in the palace, and King Jia will definitely stay in the palace.

It's a pity that King Jia and the others ran too fast!

"Brother Prince, are you going to let them go back like this? How about leaving them in the palace instead of reporting to your father to receive a reward?"

"You girl, I don't know what you are thinking. Your brother Yuan likes to live among the people, so don't disturb them anymore."

……

A few days later, Pear Blossom Town, North Xunmen.

Butler Wang received a letter from Fei Ge and learned that Mu Zhiyuan would be able to return to Lihua Town at noon that day.

He took his servants with him and greeted him at Beixunmen.

After receiving the notice from Butler Wang, Mrs. Chen also took Xiaodouzi and Ajiao outside the city gate to wait for her daughter Shui Xi and Lou Laner to return.

"I saw the carriage!" Xiaodouzi shouted.

Mu Zhiyuan rode ahead, followed by a carriage, and Lu Da was coming at a fast pace, waving his whip.

Shu Xi and Lou Lan'er opened the curtains and looked towards the entrance of Beixun City.

"Xiaodouzi! Ajiao, Aniang..." Ma Xi heard Xiaodouzi's shout and shouted to the figure in the distance.

After coming all the way, my hometown is the most nostalgic.

Lou Lan'er also kept waving in the direction of the city gate: "Hi! We are back!"

Ms. Chen, who was standing by, stood up and picked up the food box she carried with her.

The carriage stopped, and Shu Xi and Lou Lan'er jumped out.

Lu Da and Mu Zhiyuan went to the city gate guard to show their talismans and apply for entry into the city.

"Ah Shu, Lou Lan'er, here are some pastries and drinks. Are you hungry on the way?"

We returned to Haoweilou and took a short rest. In the evening, everyone got back into the busy business of the restaurant.

Lou Lan'er was very excited. This time, she didn't need Zhang Xiucai to help her write the storybook.

He stopped on the stage in the center of the lobby and told the story of how he captured the ghost-faced man of the Black Orchid Society, seized the black powder and rescued Mao Xi, and told it very vividly.

"Miss Lan'er, please tell me more..."

"Yes, yes, we haven't heard enough~"

It was already closing time for the shop, and Lou Lan'er only told half of the story, leaving the diners still unfinished.

"Shopkeeper Liu, please open extra hours today, we are just interested!"

"Miss Lan'er, please tell me, after arriving in Beidu, where did the ghost-faced man hide the black powder?"

"Welcome guests to come and support us tomorrow, we are really going to close today!"

Lu Da and Mu Zhiyuan helped Mao Xi see off the enthusiastic diners.

Returning to Ewha Town, these busy days are really nostalgic.

Xiaoqing and Brother Ying helped clear the tables and chairs.

Dajiang and Yaomei prepared the ingredients for the next day and cleaned the stove.

"Sister Lan'er, shopkeeper, please go back and rest first. We'll just clean up the restaurant." Although Yaomei also wanted to listen to Lou Lan'er's story, seeing her keep yawning, she knew they hadn't had a good rest yet. .

"Sister Lan'er, let's go!" Shu Xi stretched.

Along the way, she had already thought of several new dishes in her mind, and next, she would continue to show her talents in the restaurant.

.

Two months later, in the golden autumn of October, Liujia Village has reached another harvest season.

Mao Xi took Lou Lan'er and Dahuang back to the old house, and the little country dog ​​Preserved Egg also came with them.

The persimmon tree planted in the yard last year was full of golden fruits.

The seasonal rice is already drying on the flat ground outside the house.

Neighbors Brother Chunsheng and Aunt Shen helped my mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, to pick two big bags of fresh red persimmons.

Some persimmons have been dried on the bamboo plaque in the courtyard.

Ajiao held a persimmon cake and sat on a small wooden stool at the door. He took a bite of the Liuxin persimmon cake, and the corners of his mouth were stained with white frosting.

"Woo--Woo--" The native dog Preserved Egg saw its mother Dahuang and its brother Yuanbao, and kept spinning around them.

"Ah Shu, come here quickly. I picked a lot of milk mushrooms and some red mushrooms from the mountain this morning. Look!"

Mao Xi touched the milky fungi that were still stained with soil in the bamboo basket, and remembered the days when she went to the mountains to collect fungi and dig bamboo shoots.

She cleaned the milk fungus, rolled up her sleeves, and started preparing a delicious country dinner.
