On the first day of taking over the responsibility of the back kitchen of the Taichang Temple Qingfu, Zhuo Yichen was busy until Shen Shi, when the sun was setting.

It stands to reason that the chef has his own wing in the mansion, but Zhuo Yichen did not stay in Shao's mansion.Leaving aside that he himself is not used to living there, his family members will not agree.First, although the Zhuo family are already common people, they are not servants after all, and there is no reason to settle under other people's roofs.Second, Zhuo Yichen is not yet married, so he should not be separated from the Zhuo family to establish his own family.

The Shao Mansion sent chariots and horses to pick them up.Right now, Zhuo Yichen is being sent home.

Zhuo Yichen was sitting in the carriage, holding in his hand that he had just received half of the salary, and the accountant gave it according to the rules, which was not too much, a few taels of silver.

Passing by a butcher's shop, Zhuo Yichen asked someone to stop the carriage.

Zhang Da, a butcher who sells pork, raised his head to see the person coming, put his butcher knife on the chopping board, and shouted, "Hey! Little brother, why are you here again? This time I dare not..."

Zhuo Yichen smiled and waved his hands, "I'm here to buy ribs."

"Okay!" Zhang Da picked up the butcher knife again, and pointed at the pork with the tip of the knife, "Which rib do you want? How is it here? It's big enough and fine!"

Zhuo Yichen nodded, "Two catties."

Zhang vigorously moved the knife, chopping it into several large pieces.Zhuo Yichen didn't bring a basket, so Zhang Da took a piece of sackcloth to wrap the ribs and handed them over.He saw that Zhuo Yichen's expression was as usual, as if he had completely forgotten about dismantling his scam some time ago.Zhang Da felt relieved now.

"Little brother, it's all very fresh this time, a pig that was just slaughtered last night."

Zhuo Yichen let out a "hmm".

Zhang Da chattered again, "I said little brother, you are so young, I can't see how strong you are! Those eyes are more accurate than this weight... I can be considered to have seen what it means to be someone outside someone. This level is as good as the sky. The cook in Yige is bad!"

Zhuo Yichen smiled, "Thank you." In modern times, he is a descendant of imperial chefs, a famous cook for generations, and he started to practice with a knife at the age of seven or eight. After more than ten years of practice, he is naturally used to it.In order to study hard and develop his culinary skills, he even went to different countries to study abroad and experience it himself.He just kept running around like this, and he was so busy that he didn't even hold a girl's hand, let alone fall in love.

On the way back, Zhuo Yichen passed the famous geisha building, Ningxiang Building.He just sat in the carriage and opened the curtain to take a look. The ancient building was magnificent, exquisite and antique.The maid who greeted and sent her off at the door wore a high bun and a Luodian skirt with broken white flowers on a blue background, with a smile on her face, and her appearance was fresh and pleasant.

Zhuo Yichen thought, he has reached the age to start a family and start a career!If counted according to the soul, he is also [-].What's more, this body is old enough. In ancient times, it was indeed time to start a family and raise children.In the past, this person's body was not very good, his brain was not good enough to make him stutter, no daughter was willing to marry, and Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother were willing to keep their son at home.But now that his body has gradually recovered with the help of Mr. System, will his parents let him continue to stay at home?

Zhuo Yichen didn't want to get married.First, he is a modern person after all, and he always feels that he is out of place with the women of the ancient Jasper Age.Second, Zhuo Yichen felt that women were a bit more troublesome, especially in ancient times, women had to serve their husbands wholeheartedly and teach their children.Thinking of someone putting all their attention on him, Zhuo Yichen felt his scalp go numb, as if someone was watching him.

Zhuo Yichen put down the curtain and told himself not to worry about this matter anymore, just procrastinate if you can.

He was not very used to sitting in the ancient carriage, it was very bumpy, which made Zhuo Yichen a little "motion sick".When the driver arrived at the village, Zhuo Yichen gave way to a stop.The path inside was potholed, and it was difficult for the coachman to drive the horse, and it was even more uncomfortable for him to sit.Moreover, Zhuo Yun repeatedly told him not to disclose the specific location of Zhuo's house to anyone.At that time, Zhuo Yichen asked why in confusion.Zhuo Yun only said that the Zhuo family had often offended the powerful and powerful in the past, but now that they have no power and power, they are easily slaughtered by others, so it is better to hide it.Zhuo Yichen nodded.He felt that his younger brother was extraordinarily vigilant.

Zhuo Yichen got off the carriage at the head of the village. The long-term bumping of the carriage made him dizzy, so he walked back slowly.

When I got home, I only saw my mother in the backyard.When Zhuo's mother saw her eldest son coming back, she rushed forward crying and hugged him.

"Big Zhuang! Where have you been? The sun has set and no one has returned. Mother thought you were kidnapped! Your father and Caibao have gone out to look for you!"

Zhuo Yichen hastily put down the sack in his hand, patted his mother's back reassuringly, and smiled innocently.

Zhuo's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You child! After you become smarter, how can you become more misbehaving! Wherever you go without permission, you don't tell your parents!"

"My child is wrong, and my mother is worried about me."

"It's okay to stutter, but I haven't seen you say much. You, you have the same virtue as Cai Bao! If you have something to do, you will be bored."

"Didn't the child come back honestly? Mother, I just didn't have time to tell you." Zhuo Yichen's mouth began to curl up, "Mother, I have good news for you, my son finally found a job!"

"What kind of work is it? You haven't studied, so you're probably looking for physical work, right? This is not acceptable! Mother won't let you do such drudgery."

"It's the cook."

Mother frowned, "That's so tiring."

"I'm not tired, I just take care of lunch and get less wages."

Mother asked again, "Which cook is so relaxed? The restaurant is always busy all day long, and you have to cook when the guests eat. How can the shop treat you so special?"

Zhuo Yichen patted the back of his mother's hand, "Didn't you meet a nobleman? It was at the residence of the Minister of Taichang Temple."

"You mean the Shao Mansion?"

"Exactly."

The mother was puzzled, "How could the majestic Taichang Temple Qingfu find you, the little boy who set up a stall?"

"Mother," Zhuo Yichen looked at Zhuo's mother with slightly aggrieved eyes, "Why do you still treat me like a child, and your son is also famous for selling stinky tofu. As you said in Tiangeng, several restaurants came to look for me, but I didn't go. I think Shao's Mansion is the most suitable one."

Only then did Zhuo's mother smile all over her face, "All right, all right, now that you're older, mother will also listen to you."

Zhuo Yichen thought that his father and Zhuo Yun had gone out to find someone, so he said, "Mother, let's go to the market and bring Dad and Caibao back. You see, I'm back well."

"Let's not go out, my wife. The father and I will come back later. Now that we're gone, won't we be able to meet each other again?"

Zhuo Yichen nodded, and was dragged by his mother to work in the kitchen in the back room.In winter, the room is very warm. Zhuo's mother gathers firewood to boil hot water, and Zhuo Yichen cooks standing up.

He blanched the fresh pork ribs he bought twice in hot water with vinegar, scooped them up to half-cooked, scooped them up with a large spoon, and soaked them in cold water to keep the meat tender.Finally, put the ribs in the pot and start to simmer.What Zhuo Yichen wants to do is pork ribs in sauce. First, he has to simmer until the soup is half-dry and the meat is half-cooked. Inside, the sauce is delicious and the bone is rich.

Mastering the kung fu of heat is one of the three major skills that a swordsman must possess.But in ancient times, this was not easy, because unlike modern times, which can be finely adjusted with switches, the fire stove can only be heated and slowed down by the amount of firewood, and the heat cannot be adjusted so accurately.At least it didn't achieve the effect Zhuo Yichen wanted.

"Big Zhuang," the mother chatted to her son while lighting a fire, "do you want to get married?"

Zhuo Yichen shook his hand and almost added too much vinegar.

"Today, Chen Xishi's family, the head of Qianwu village, brought their daughter to our place. That girl is three years younger than you, just about the age of marriage. I think you like that girl too..."

Zhuo Yichen wanted to ask, mother, how did you know that I like that girl?I haven't even seen her face.The mother's next words answered this question.

"When our family first moved here, their family helped us a lot. At that time, you were sick again, and the girl's family often came to help me take care of you. You..." Mother Zhuo laughed, "You You drool when you see someone! And you laugh happily! How dare you say you don’t like him?"

Zhuo Yichen was embarrassed, "Mother, didn't you say that I would also giggle when I saw Wang Mazi's daughter? I can't like all of them, right?"

"How can those two kinds of smiles be the same!" Zhuo's mother said seriously, "You are not a foolish smile to Chen's daughter!"

Zhuo Yichen only felt several black lines rubbing against his forehead.

"They sent us fried cakes today, and you can try them later. Da Zhuang, you can make more pork ribs with sauce! Come with me tomorrow, and we'll send them to their house!"

"mother……"

"That girl was born very well. Although her mother was only a tofu maker, it was because of her family's unavoidable circumstances. She used to be from a scholarly family. The girl's father used to be an official, not because of It was only because of the influence of the power struggle that it fell to this point. Speaking of which, the Zhuo family is also in the same disease..."

"mother……"

"On this point, my mother didn't think that your girl is inferior to you, but she is willing to..."

Zhuo's mother was talking to herself, as if she wanted to seal this marriage.Zhuo Yichen couldn't say anything else, so he could only say, "Mom, the sauce is used up, I'll go pick some more from the sauce jar."

Only then did Zhuo's mother stop chattering, "Alright, let's go."

Zhuo Yichen took the big bowl and spoon to the backyard where the big sauce jar was placed.

These sauces are mixed with pure natural soybeans and red peppers. The homemade sauces are thick and thick, and they need to be placed in the yard to bask in the sun so that the microorganisms in them can fully ferment and the taste will be better. .

Zhuo Yichen came to the half-human tall big tank and sighed.He just thought about not getting married today, but Zhuo's mother mentioned it to him as soon as he came back.I'm really afraid of something.

Zhuo Yichen shook his head helplessly, then bent down, and stretched his arms into the sauce jar.A lot of sauce was used, and there was not much left, so Zhuo Yichen had to stand on tiptoes to let his upper body go down a bit.

Chen Xishi's daughter?But Zhuo Yichen didn't know her at all.

laugh?Didn't he smirk at everyone before?

Alas, this is really troublesome...

Huh?Why is the spoon still not enough for the sauce, it seems to be a little bit off.

Zhuo Yichen stood on tiptoe harder and pressed his body down...

Immediately afterwards, there was only a sound of "bang dong", and Zhuo Yichen rolled into it!He sank his head upside down in the sauce jar, with his legs upside down!

Oh my goodness!Come help!

Zhuo Yichen struggled hard, kicked his feet, pressed his hands tightly to the bottom of the sauce jar, his hands were greasy, slippery and sticky.

Hey, mother, hurry up and save your son, he is about to be smothered to death!

Zhuo Yichen kicked his legs desperately, but there was nowhere to exert force, let alone want to get up from the sauce jar by himself.

Seeing that her son hadn't returned, Zhuo's mother quickly put down the firewood in her hand and went to the yard to have a look. She saw two legs kicking out of the big sauce jar.

"my son!"

Zhuo's mother exclaimed, and quickly ran over and hugged Zhuo Yichen's legs, then pressed his lower body and dragged him out of the sauce jar, Zhuo Yichen's feet finally touched the ground, touched the ground Finally, his bent waist, abdomen and upper body were able to exert force, and this time he was relieved, almost suffocated to death!

Zhuo Yichen was panting heavily, his hair, face, and hands were covered with sticky reddish-brown sauce.He looked up in embarrassment, and when his mother saw his appearance, she gave a very unkind "puchi" laugh.

"You have to get enough of your small body! If you see the bottom of the sauce, don't fish it. You can wait for your father or Caibao to come back and help you. You see, you are in a hurry!"

Zhuo Yichen sneezed heavily and sprayed sauce from his nose!The sauce is still snotty!

Mother suppressed a smile and pushed him into the small bathroom in the back room, took a big towel and put it on the edge of the big wooden barrel.

"Hurry up, hurry up, wash up quickly, or you will catch a cold in a while! Mom will bring you hot water."

Zhuo Yichen was about to say "yes" when he opened his mouth and sneezed again.

Mother hurried to fetch hot water.

Zhuo Yichen stretched out his slightly trembling fingers and began to untie his cotton coat.

So, no matter what you do, you have to be mindful of it!While digging for the sauce, I was thinking about something in my mind, and I fell into it without paying attention.

Really!Why……

The mother first brought a bucket of hot water and half a bucket of cold water, and ordered her son to wash it quickly.She went on to get some hot water.

After being soaked in hot water, Zhuo Yichen immediately felt comfortable, and his body was not as stiff as before.As soon as he relaxed, he remembered that the ribs were still stewed in the kitchen!Thinking of this, Zhuo Yichen immediately stepped out of the barrel, covered his body with dirty clothes, ran to the bathroom door and shouted: "Mother, remember to stop the fire, the meat will be stewed! "

The mother didn't answer him.

Zhuo Yichen was in a hurry, wrapped in his dirty clothes and rushed outside, shouting loudly, "Mom, did you hear me? Don't put any firewood..."

Zhuo Yichen limped out in thick cotton shoes.

He had just stepped over the threshold of the back room before he was stopped in front of him.

Zhuo Yun was walking quickly with two buckets of hot water in his hand, and was about to step into the back room when he bumped into Zhuo Yichen head-on.

"Why did you run out!"

Once outside, Zhuo Yichen got goose bumps from the cold as the cold wind blew.Before he had time to put on his inner coat, he wrapped himself in a big cotton coat.

Zhuo Yun frowned, "Go back!"

"Caibao, hurry up and ask mother not to light a fire, the meat will be cooked..."

"I know! You go back to me first!"

With Zhuo Yun's words, Zhuo Yichen wrapped his clothes tightly, hurriedly ran back to the bathroom, plopped and immediately stepped into the barrel.

Emma!But he was so cold!
