two cold

Jinying has to admit that Han Shanggong's method of teaching Jang Geum is very unique. It is not memorization, but to find out the ingredients and choose dishes from them. Not only can you be familiar with the characteristics of each ingredient, but you can also find infinite possibilities in cooking.

"Who taught you to practice this way!"

Cui Shanggong's voice passed by Jinying's side like a winter wind, interrupting the thinking about cooking in her mind.

"What are you doing?" Looking at the various ingredients scattered on the table, Cui Shanggong's voice didn't warm up as he stepped into the steaming kitchen, on the contrary, it became colder.

Jinying retreated to the side, still not forgetting to say: "I just think Han Shanggong's method of teaching Jang Geum is very good..."

"Do you know why Han Shanggong used this method to educate Jang Geum? That's because Jang Geum has lost his sense of taste!" Jinying only heard the second half of Cui Shanggong's words, her face remained calm, but she clenched her fists .

"Jang Geum." Jin Ying, who had been sitting in the gazebo for a long time, called Jang Geum who was about to hurry past.

The other party obviously didn't hear it, and they still walked forward with their heads down.

Jinying couldn't bear it anymore, she strode out of the gazebo and grabbed Jang Jin's arm.

As soon as he touched it, it was rare for Jinying to feel remorse for her behavior. When she saw Jang Geum holding a pile of medical books in her hands, she inadvertently frowned.

"Have you been studying medical books recently?" Jinying asked knowingly.

Jang Geum still hangs his head, his voice seems to be squeezed out from a tiny gap. "Yes, I want to find some medicinal materials that can be added to the ingredients from medical books."

"Jang Jin, won't you tell me?" Looking at Chang Jin's face turning green, Jin Ying felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and said in a calm voice, "What kind of medicinal materials are you looking for? I can help you."

"No need." Jang Jin pulled away the arm held by Jin Ying, and forced a smile.

Jinying's pride did not allow her to follow up and say something more to Jang Geum, but she just looked at Jang Geum's back, her expression gradually turning cold.

"What are you thinking, miss?"

Listening to the call, Jinying suddenly came to her senses, only to realize that she is now in a private house.

The change of miso in the palace became one of the test questions in this competition. She and her aunt went out of the palace to return to Cui's business group.It's just that she didn't want to continue to listen to her aunt and uncle discussing whether or not the miso would change the flavor of the miso if it was mixed with high-grade salt in the palace.

Jinying withdraws too much emotion. "It's nothing. Master Xingshou, do you sell medical books in the store?"

The head of the line showed confusion. "The Cui Banshu Merchant Group has always been mostly engaged in commodity trading, and has no involvement in the sale of books. By the way, is the inkstone that Miss brought into the palace last time still suitable?"

Jinying bowed slightly. "Thank you, Mr. Xingshou, for your concern."

This inadvertent lowering of the head allowed Jinying to catch a glimpse of the items displayed on the shelf. "My lord, what is this?"

Jinying bought the thing and didn't tell anyone.Only at night, when I touch the satin-like silk with my fingers, reflecting the fine light gold in the night, it seems to pass through a piece of aloes that calms my heart.

The reason why the miso sauce turned sour couldn't be traced, but Cui Shanggong insisted on paying tribute with the family's secret seasoning to solve this problem.But when they returned to the palace with the miso sauce, they found that Han Shanggong had already found out the reason why the miso tasted bad, so Cui Shanggong was inferior again.

As for the uncooked whale meat, Jang Geum's craftsmanship was praised by the emperor, and his sense of taste was restored.Regardless of Cui Sanggong's gloomy expression, Jinying sincerely praised Jang Geum.

"She's lucky." Cui Shanggong patted his knee bitterly.Now when he heard Jang Geum's name, it was like hearing the word Han Shanggong, Cui Shanggong's eyes were filled with a thin layer of cold ice.

"My lady, my thoughts are different from yours. Maybe my lady will think that I am envious of Jang Geum's talent, so I follow her to do this." Jinying calmly analyzed: "No, it is actually the truth, she has been Discovering new things, making new discoveries all the time, I really envy her. However, it is not because she is smart, it should be said that she is diligent enough, she has tried a lot of things, and if she tries once, she will try again. She has such a talent. If I envy her mind, it means I am stupid. Even if I envy her experience, I think I should try it. I have to accept new things and study hard... "

"Stop talking about it! Try it yourself. Only people with no resources will do it. She can only gain experience by doing this, because there is no other way for her to easily absorb knowledge. You are different from her. Why do you have rich resources? How do you do that?"

Why do you want to do this?Aunt did not understand her words.She envied Jang Geum, from the bottom of her heart.

That kind of envy may also be mixed with jealousy and resentment, just like when my aunt tested Jang Geum's taste with shrimp paste, she clearly felt another emotion in her heart besides worry.She hoped that Jang Jin would be expelled from the palace, a voice in her heart said so, as if it was another self, watching Jang Jin's actions coldly.

But another kind of inexplicable soft pain spread dullly in her heart.As if closing her eyes, she wanted to make her cry.

In the middle of the night, Jinying left the dormitory and went outside to get some air, only to see that there was still light in the burning kitchen.Taking a closer look, the candlelight engraved the slim figure on the ground, Jinying just looked at it like this, and knew it was Jang Geum.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing her question, Jang Geum turned his head and smiled slightly. "I'm making something to eat."

"this late?"

"Actually, I was really desperate for myself a while ago. But someone gave me great encouragement and comfort in a way I didn't expect."

Jinying didn't know what it was like to hear it, so she just said sullenly, "Is this so good? There are still people comforting you in this nine-fold palace."

That's right, compared to myself, isn't Jang Jin surrounded by Lian Sheng and A Chang?Who would be alone like himself?But seeing Jang Geum taking a spoonful to taste the taste, sticking out the tip of his tongue to lightly touch it, and then frowning in thought, the melancholy has been diluted a lot.

Jinying then raised his usual smile again. "I'm glad you've got your sense of taste back, because you're the only competitor I consider."

Jinying didn't know what he was thinking about walking back into the house, but after entering the house, he sat quietly on the bench and thought for a long time, squatted halfway, opened the low cabinet under the window, and took out a heavy inkstone.

"It's been there for a long time, why do you take it out every time and put it back again, is it what you want to use?" A Chang, who was sewing, raised his head and asked puzzled.

"no."

Like the strong ink color of Yinhan, when she saw this inkstone in the store, she thought it matched Min Zhenghao very well.She had imagined the appearance of Min Zhenghao sharpening his ink and calligraphy, writing his political opinions on the paper, waiting for the day when he stood in the court, and the inkstone entrusted with her heart could also make her feel a little bit excited.

She originally wanted to give this inkstone away, but she has been worrying about Jang Geum's affairs.Now that Jang Geum is well, Jin Ying only feels that her thoughts that have been suppressed for a long time are suddenly relaxed.Maybe it's time to send the inkstone out.

After Jinying figured it out, she immediately got up with the inkstone in her arms, and went out again regardless of Achang's call.

"Can I help you?"

When that gentle and polite voice sounded, Jinying saw Lang Lang's figure under the stars and moon, and unconsciously lowered her head. "Yes, are you busy?"

"I'm not busy, what can I do?" Min Zhenghao's voice showed some surprise. "this is?"

Following her gaze, Jinying looked at the inkstone she was holding in her hand. "Because I heard from my uncle that you are looking for this kind of inkstone, my lord."

"I'll just go to the store and look for it myself, how dare I bother you to deliver it myself?"

"The last time I went to my uncle's house, I brought it back."

"Thank you very much. I'm a bit greedy for the Four Treasures of the Study."

"How can it be called greed? I have been paying attention to you since I was a child. When you and your father came to my uncle's shop for the first time, they picked up an inkstone as soon as they entered the door and refused to let it go." Thinking of the past. Years, even memories are painted with a warm haze.

"Is there such a thing?" Min Zhenghao didn't know what Jinying was thinking, but he was sensitively aware of something unusual. "You don't look well, is there something wrong?"

This seems to be a concern that has rarely been heard recently, and Jinying also sighed a little in his heart. "No. It's just that I don't know anything, and I've been devoting myself to learning how to cook well. Recently, I realize that I'm living a very hard life, and I'm getting less and less confident."

"Everyone goes through this."

She looked curiously at the man who had been looking up to him. "My lord, do you ever have such a time?"

"Of course. Someone once told me that when making food, imagining a smile on the face of the person who eats it is her little wish. Although the wish is small, it is very caring. Martial arts are just about how to do it It’s fine to hurt someone, but when you cook food, you have to think about how to make someone happy.” Min Jung Ho had a gentle smile on his face. "What you have to do is to make people happy, please have confidence."

Jinying bid farewell to Min Zhenghao with a beating heart, as if she heard a heart well that had been eroded by the years, and inadvertently injected a warm current.She just wanted to find a comfort for herself, but Min Zhenghao gave her such a precious word, which fully explained the essence of a cook.

Being able to connect with each other so much, Jinying felt that love became stronger.

-------------------------------------

"I didn't expect the female doctor to be able to cook!" All the big men on the boat were eating their rice, holding the dishes on their plates with their extended chopsticks, and tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-ing.

"I didn't expect Dr. Xu to be so good at cooking. Otherwise, I would go to the Huimin Office every day for a meal." Officer Park, who returned to Beijing with Min Zhenghao, hadn't finished the meal on his lips, and his chopsticks in his hands He quickly joined the battlefield again. "It's a pity that Dr. Xu is going to take the exam in the capital now. If I knew it, I would have found a way to keep you in Jeju Island..."

In front of the delicious food, Min Zhenghao is the only one who can maintain an elegant image as calm as a mountain and as gentle as a wind.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Min Zhenghao only smiled slightly. "I remembered a passage Xu Neiren said to me. When cooking food, imagine the smile on the face of the person who eats it. That is the essence of cooking. Look at them, smiling so happily."

Contaminated by the happy atmosphere on board, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Jang Geum's mouth. "Although I have told you this, but it is still my lord and the nanny Shang Gong who brought me back to the way of cooking."

"In the beef offal soup competition, I used the best part of the beef for victory. I completely forgot that the poor can't afford such a bowl of offal soup, and deviated from the original intention of cooking for the sake of others. Sadly said to me, I never thought your talent would become your best." This is the most important sentence that Empress Han Shanggong has ever said to her, right? "Miss Han Shanggong sent me to Yunyan Temple without a second word to take care of the nanny Shang Gong who was about to die. At that time, I was really hopeless. What should I do if I can't go back to the imperial kitchen? I can't follow Mistress Han Shanggong again. What should I do? At this time, it is you and the nanny, Shang Gong, who reminded me of the most important sincerity in cooking."

Min Jung Ho looked at Jang Geum tenderly. "I am very happy to be able to encourage Dr. Xu."
