Love after marriage with a husband

It was already midnight, even the bustling inn gradually subsided, only Fang Zhongshan's room was lit.

The strong aroma of pickled peppers boiled with the hot steaming, which made the sleeping guests next door wake up, feeling hungry and panicking when they touched their empty belly.

Coincidentally, the person who fell asleep next door was actually Xie Yu who once had a relationship with Fang Zhongshan.

The last time we met, he chatted with Fang Chongshan until the end, the conversation was not speculative, and the quarrel was a little unpleasant, and because of a sudden incident at home, he left the inn in a hurry, unexpectedly, he lived in the same inn now .

Xie Yuben is a master who likes to eat, drink, and have fun. He has tasted countless delicacies in his life, but the pungent aroma of hot pot attracts the greedy ones.

The bleary sleepiness was quickly expelled, Xie Yu tried several times, but he couldn't close his eyes in the enticing fragrance.

He simply sat up, put on a mottled coat casually, woke up the little follower on the floor, and said slowly: "Cooking and eating late at night is simply a heinous crime!"

"Anyway, I'm already awake, so why not knock on the door to ask for some food, it would be an elegant thing."

Knocking on the door in the middle of the night to beg for food is still considered an elegant thing, only this pampered son can think of such a ridiculous thing!

The little entourage who followed him wrinkled a bitter face, he knew that Xie and this person were used to doing things casually, and no one could stop him when he became excited for a while, so he could only complain secretly, reluctantly After touching it, she simply put on a piece of clothes and knocked on the door together.

Reluctantly putting down the chopsticks in his hands, Xiao Shuang'er reluctantly stood up, ran to the door with a slap, and asked with one ear: "Who is it?"

Fang Chongshan originally thought it might be the shop assistant who had borrowed the small stone mill before, but he never thought that the voice outside the door was a strange and immature young man's voice.

The words were straightforward, "The guests in the room, we are from the room next door. We smelled the fragrance and came here to beg for a bite."

It was the first time that Fang Chongshan had heard someone speak so confidently about begging for food. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and he didn't react until he heard the urging knock on the door again, and opened the closed door together with Jiang Ran.

Standing outside the door was a plainly dressed young man who looked like a servant, obviously feeling embarrassed, smiling embarrassingly and rubbing his hands.

Looking up again, it turned out to be a familiar face. Fang Zhongshan pinched his fingertips and thought for a moment before he suddenly called out: "So it's Xie, Xie...the manager of the Xie family?"

"I didn't expect such a coincidence to live in an inn!"

Xie Yu didn't feel the slightest embarrassment at coming to beg for food. He raised his hand generously, and greeted him with a bit of surprise: "Isn't this the young man I met at the post station?! So he also came to the capital!"

In fact, it was just a one-sided relationship, but Xie and this person are naturally familiar with each other. After a few casual greetings with Fang Zhongshan at the door, the two quickly became familiar again.

Since he is a guest, it's not good to let him stand at the door all the time. Xiao Shuang'er watched the fire carefully, and stood in the room and waved to people: "Come inside quickly, it's cold, come in and eat some hot food. Don't be cold."

The words hit Xie and Xia's arms, and Housekeeper Xie, who was originally coming to the door for a meal, responded with a smile, and walked in unceremoniously, and saw the hot pot on the table at a glance, which looked very unique, left and right After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "This pottery pot looks strange, I have never seen it in the city before."

"Could it be that you brought it from your hometown?"

The small pottery pot that Xie Yu mentioned was exactly the custom-made small hot pot that Fang Chongshan brought over from Fanyang City. It was exquisitely made and looked like a work of art.

The small pot is divided into upper and lower layers, and the bottom layer is burned with charcoal fire. The red charcoal fire continuously sends heat to the bottom of the pot, and the soup in the pot is bubbling.

It is somewhat similar to the small alcohol pots used in later generations, except that the fuel is not alcohol, but charcoal.

Due to limited conditions, the design is quite simple. Fang Zhongshan drew a sketch on purpose and asked the best pottery master in Fanyang City to help make it. It is small and light, and it does not take up space even if it is placed in the luggage.

This time I came to the capital, thinking that Xiao Shuang'er might not be used to the tastes of other places, so I deliberately brought this small pottery pot with me.

Xie Yu was so curious, he couldn't help but leaned over to the table and took a look, his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the simmering red soup in the pot, first his nose twitched by the pungent spicy taste , After I barely got used to it for a while, I was hooked by this pungent fragrance instead.

Jiang Ran has a good impression of Xie Yu, who is gentle in appearance but often unexpected in words and deeds. Seeing him staring at the hot pot eagerly, he generously took out a spare pair of chopsticks and handed it over.

He said bluntly, "It's a new delicacy made by my husband, why don't you come and taste it?"

What Xie Yu waited for was his words. He quickly took the chopsticks, carefully rolled up his sleeves that were too long, and quickly wanted to scoop up a piece of konjac.

The konjac piece was slippery, and Xie Yu found the trick after trying several times. When he lifted the dusty little piece up, his eyes almost overflowed with doubt.

"What is this thing made of? Can it really be eaten?"

Jiang Ran didn't like others to question Brother Zhongshan the most. Her brows and eyes immediately drooped with a crooked smile, and she hummed twice in displeasure, and replied sullenly: "Why can't you eat it!"

Shuang'er's face turned red with anger, and Xie Yu obviously realized that the question was inappropriate, so he smiled embarrassingly, turned sideways, and opened his mouth to take a small bite.

It was just a tentative taste. Unexpectedly, the konjac cubes that have been cooked for a long time melt in the mouth. Even Xie Yu, who is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He let go of his courage and stuffed a whole piece into his mouth. Konjac cubes.

I didn't taste good enough, so I even waved excitedly to the little attendant standing behind me, and yelled indistinctly: "Come and taste it too!"

The thin-skinned little follower blushed with shame, hung his head desperately, just wanted to find a crack in the ground that he could drill into, and it would be better than the current embarrassing situation.

Fang Zhongshan saw the word "embarrassed" in capital letters all over his body and face of the little attendant, he looked a little pitiful, he softened for a moment, and kindly opened his mouth and said: "It's okay, butler Xie can be counted as me." A friend, since you came with him, you might as well sit down and have a hot meal together."

After some kind words of persuasion, the little follower finally managed to calm down.

The little follower and Xie Yu are both men with big appetites. The output of handmade konjac cubes is not much. After a little effort, these two people scooped up all the ingredients cooked in the small pot.

After eating the last piece of konjac contentedly, Xie Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at Fang Zhongshan with surprisingly bright eyes.

"Such a delicious thing, is it really you who made it?"

Jiang Ran rushed to speak in front of Fang Zhongshan. The little guy obviously hated his distrust of his brother Zhongshan earlier, crossed his arms and hummed: "That's natural!"

"My big brother Chongshan not only makes delicious hot pot, but also the jelly and pickled peppers that he figured out before are all very popular in Fanyang City!"

jelly?

pickled peppers?

As soon as he heard the name, he felt strange, Xie Yu frowned in confusion, his face was full of confusion.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Ran became more and more complacent, and said in a very arrogant way: "I can see that you, a foreigner, have never tasted it!"

"The bean jelly is transparent, and when you eat it in your mouth, you will feel chilly and sweet all over. The pickled peppers are spicy and full of juice when you bite into it. No one in Fanyang City who has eaten jelly and pickled peppers can say it's not good." !"

Xiao Shuang'er used to flatter Fang Zhongshan, but now in front of outsiders, she was even more unwilling to lose. Xie Yu and the little entourage beside him were taken aback for a while by the hype.

When he looked at Fang Zhongshan again, his gaze had changed, it was full of high mountains looking up, and even the tone of his speech was somewhat respectful.

Xie Yuke called out politely, Mr. Fang, and then cautiously asked: "Mr. Fang is such a good cook, do you intend to come to my house to be a cook?"

"You can go to the street to inquire about it. Our Xie family is famous for its good treatment, enough money, food and accommodation, which is much more reliable and cost-effective than if you come to the city to do business!"

Fang Chongshan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard such an ardent self-promotion, so he could only wave his hands again and again, politely rejecting: "If it suits your taste, I'll make some for you to try some other day, as for being a cook, forget it. I don't want to be here."

Xie Yu felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still refused to give up and asked persistently: "I accidentally listened to it before, and I know that you came to the capital this time for business. I think my Xie family can do the same." It can be regarded as a business family in the capital city, and they are all in the same business, if you don't mind, why not follow me to Xie's house to have a rest and have a cup of tea?"

Obviously, it was also for the sake of eating.

Fang Zhongshan thought it was funny, and was about to find a reason to refuse, when he suddenly remembered Ge Caishen who hadn't come to the door for several days.

When he came to the capital this time, he just wanted to take the opportunity invited by Ge Caishen to broaden his horizons with his little husband. After arriving in the capital, he chatted with Ge Caishen in bits and pieces. I can feel the pressure from the Ge family on me.

Because he has the ability to cut cuttings, Ge Caishen seems to want to force him to stay in his family to be a tool person who specializes in arranging medicine fields.

Fang Chongshan was used to being carefree, and he didn't really want to see Ge Caishen's face and listen to his arbitrary arrangements. Thinking of Master Yang saying that Xie's family is a well-known imperial merchant in the capital, he couldn't help but change his mind, and simply extended Xie Yu's invitation. Take advantage of the trend.

"It happens to be boring to stay in the inn, so I will bother you!"
