After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Mingjia felt very confused and turned to Mrs. Yan directly: "Hasn't anyone come to propose marriage in all these years?"

Although Miss Jiang is not a great beauty, Ming Jia likes such energetic girls with bright smiles.

Mrs. Yan hesitated and said, "Yes! But Miss Jiang only wants to wait until her younger brother grows up and gets married, so that she can completely inherit the Jiang family. In the past two years, there have been fewer marriage proposals. I heard..."

Ming Jia heard Mrs. Yan hesitate, turned to look at Yan Niang, and asked Yan Niang if she knew.

Yanniang really knew, and said angrily: "Some people are pedantic and think it's too good for Miss Jiang to show up like this. The few matchmakers who have come to visit recently are rich people who want to take concubines."

Yanniang herself is a public female shopkeeper, and she also has a good impression of Miss Jiang like this and can't help but say a few more words. "Actually, some people want to marry Miss Jiang, but they are afraid of the Jiang family's sinister relatives."

Ming Jia understood that Miss Jiang was really kind, but her family background would indeed scare away many people. However, these should not be difficult for Shen Xianwei, who has both status and means.

Mingjia knew the origin of Shen County Lieutenant. Based on her understanding of Shen County Lieutenant, Shen County Lieutenant must have been investigating Miss Guo Jiang for a long time. There was no action, so Mingjia speculated that Shen Xianwei was waiting for permission.

She is now looking forward to the marriage between Miss Jiang and Lieutenant Shen. Such a girl should be happy. Moreover, Lieutenant Shen will definitely be able to protect Miss Jiang and Miss Jiang's younger brother.

Mingjia patted Mrs. Yan's arm holding her and signaled Mrs. Yan to let her go. Mingjia turned to look at Yan Niang and Mrs. Yan, raised her face and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner today!"

After saying that, Mingjia went downstairs first. Mrs. Yan and Yan Niang looked at each other, raised their feet and hurriedly chased after her. As soon as Ming Jia and others walked into the restaurant, Miss Jiang saw them and came out.

"Miss Xiao, come to the store, what do you need?" Miss Jiang's smile was kind and sunny.

Mingjia responded with a sweet smile: "Beautiful aunt, you know me!"

Mrs. Yan and Yan Niang, who were following Mingjia, both stopped in their tracks. Mingjia's words of "beautiful aunt" were quite lethal.

Miss Jiang had already walked in front of Ming Jia, half-crouched down and looked at Ming Jia, and explained: "On the day of the Great Northwest Victory, I was also on the street and saw Mr. Xiao standing in the crowd with Miss Xiao in his arms."

Mingjia recalled the scene that day and said with a smile: "I ate the rice cake you made yesterday, and I want to try other foods today."

Mingjia didn't say what she wanted to eat, and Miss Jiang also knew that she was letting herself watch her performance. Mingjia sat casually at a table and called Mrs. Yan and Yanniang to sit down as well.

Miss Jiang went to the kitchen to get busy cooking. Because it wasn't time for lunch yet, they were the only customers in the restaurant. Mingjia has been looking at the decoration and furnishings of the restaurant since she sat down. Mingjia guessed that a lot of thought must have been put into it.

Mrs. Yan didn't know why the young lady suddenly changed her mind and even wanted to go to the store in person to try out Miss Jiang's craftsmanship.

Mrs. Yan actually didn't want Mingjia to eat outside, and everything she brought back to the Yamen was carefully inspected. After much hesitation, the mother-in-law finally spoke: "Miss, my wife is waiting for you to go back for lunch."

Mingjia knew what Mrs. Yan was thinking, so she comforted Mrs. Yan and said, "I won't eat too much. I just want to taste Miss Jiang's cooking skills." She couldn't help complaining in her heart: I'm not Mingjun!

When Mrs. Yan saw what the young lady said, she stopped trying to persuade her. Yanniang watched silently. She felt that the way Miss Mingjia got along with this mother-in-law was strange.

When Yan Niang was in the capital, she saw many official ladies and their educated mothers-in-law. Most of the ladies were afraid of their mothers-in-law.

The mother-in-law is also very serious, and she is very polite when dealing with the ladies of various families, abiding by the rules and etiquette. Usually if an official lady does something that is not in line with the rules, the mother-in-law will look at her and cough lightly, and the official lady will stop immediately.

Just like what happened on the second floor, Mrs. Yan picked up Ming Jia directly. As for the fact that she was going to eat at a restaurant outside, Yan Niang felt that what Mrs. Yan was doing was a bit inconsistent with her aura.

Miss Jiang was a quick worker, and soon the helpers brought three dishes and one soup. A dish of fried pork, a plate of minced meat and eggplant, a dish of cold spinach, and a dish of piping hot fish fillet porridge.

Mingjia looked at the dishes, especially the plate of green spinach, which was really tempting. Mrs. Yan stretched out her hand to scoop out a bowl of fish porridge for Ming Jia, and did not forget to warn the young lady: "Miss, be careful of the scalding!"

Mingjia picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the cold dish. It was very delicious! After Mingjia took the first bite, she motioned to Mrs. Yan and Yan Niang to use their chopsticks.

Granny Yan and Yan Niang also picked up their chopsticks. Granny Yan lived a good life and had eaten food that was a hundred times more exquisite than these. Although Yan Niang is not as knowledgeable as Mrs. Yan, she is from the capital after all.

Among the three people, it was Ming Jia, a young lady, who almost burst into tears because she ate the roasted minced meat and eggplant. In ancient times, it was basically boiled, but for wealthy people, it was stewed.

But eggplant is a vegetable that likes oil, and Mingjia always felt that the food cooked in the county government kitchen didn't taste right. I ate eggplant with the right taste today. Mingjia felt that it would taste better if it was stir-fried with dried chili peppers, which would have a bit of spiciness.

Mrs. Yan put down her chopsticks after taking a few bites of each dish. Yanniang was not hungry and she was eating with Mingjia, so after Mrs. Yan put down her chopsticks, Yanniang also put down her chopsticks.

Mingjia didn't pay much attention, but she actually ate a bowl of rice after a while. Mingjia still had some unfinished thoughts. Mrs. Yan quickly stopped Mingjia: "Oh, Miss, if you continue to eat, I will prepare some digestion soup for you."

Mingjia also remembered that she was going back to have lunch with her mother. After thinking about it, Mingjia said to Miss Jiang: "Beautiful aunt, please make another copy of this dish and let us take it away."

In fact, the fish fillet porridge is also delicious, but Mingjia has to keep it in his stomach. Finally, Mingjia packed up the food and took it back with a wave of her hand. Mingjia wanted to improve the cooking skills of the county government's kitchen.

Mingjia directly ordered Mrs. Yan to send the dishes to the kitchen, heat up the new dishes and add them to her father and mother. The other dishes are given directly to the cooks in the back kitchen, hoping that they can imitate and make some new dishes.

Before Yan Niang left, she looked back at Miss Jiang several times. She always felt that Ming Jia and Mrs. Yan had very different attitudes towards Miss Jiang.

Yanniang felt that since she was a neighbor and the female shopkeeper of a shop, she could be friends with this girl Jiang. She was not familiar with the place in Qu County, so it would be good to get to know more local people.
