Your fiancee ran away with someone again

After returning to Qi's house, Mu Ting and his wife went to see Qi's mother first, and Li Shi and Xu Shi were also there. They obviously knew that they would come to pay respects to Qi's mother when they came back, so they waited here specially.

Mrs. Li was eager to know the effect of today's cake slap in the face, so she asked directly, "How, what kind of faces do those people have today?"

Because Qi Zhan has been in the spotlight today, he is particularly eager to show off at the moment. After Li Shi asked him, he opened up. He first talked about the bet he made with Zhao Mingfei to call his father and grandpa. It is lifelike and has the potential to be a storyteller.

Then he talked about Zhang Wen'an's bet with him and said that today's birthday party was really ups and downs, thrilling, and full of dangers!Thanks to the cleverness of him and Mu Ting, the two amazed everyone with their cake and painting skills, and finally won a big victory!

Probably it is to use all the idioms learned in the previous ten years.

Mu Ting was a real bystander for a while, without any chance to participate.

At the end of the day, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu gave Qi Zhan two golden nudes as a reward, while Mrs. Qi was even richer and gave a big gold ingot directly.

Qi Zhan said to the three of them with a smile, "Thank you, the official reward," and then dragged Mu Ting away.

After returning to the house, Qi Zhan got under the bed and pulled out a box.

When the box was opened, good guy, the golden light almost blinded Mu Ting's eyes, the box was full of gold ingots of the same size.

Qi Zhan put the one that Qi's mother had just rewarded him into it, and then clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Okay, this box is complete."

Mutin: "???"

The word "this" is wonderful. Mu Ting bent down and looked under the bed, and found that there were several boxes that were about the same size as Qi Zhan's.

Mu Ting couldn't help asking, "The boxes below are also filled with gold ingots?"

Qi Zhan went under the bed again, and dragged out the remaining boxes to show Mu Ting, "Not all of them, there is only one box of small gold ingots, five taels, and the rest are silver and silver bills."

There's even a case of jewelry.

Mu Ting called him a good guy, but he didn't expect Qi Zhan to be so rich!

"Your parents gave you this?"

Seeing that he had finished reading, Qi Zhan locked the box and pushed it back, and handed Mu Ting the key to lock the box, "Not all of them, some of them are earned by my own small business, although not much, but there is no shortage of flowers. "

Mu Ting looked at the keys that Qi Zhan handed over, but didn't answer them, "What do you want me to do?"

"Use it," Qi Zhan said as a matter of course, "my mother said that after marriage, the money will be handed over to the daughter-in-law. Our family is a female housekeeper. I should have given it to you a long time ago, but I didn't think about it before." Qi Zhan scratched his head as he spoke, a little embarrassed.

Mutin wanted to praise this good tutor again.

He shook his head and refused, "Don't give it to me, the bank note you gave last time is useless, you can keep it for yourself."

"No." Qi Zhan directly put the key into Mu Ting's hand, "This is different, anyway, you are my wife now, so you have to hold it."

Qi Zhan secretly thought, since he handed over all his belongings, Ting Ting probably wouldn't just leave without saying goodbye.

Qi Zhan looked stubborn, Mu Ting wanted to return the key, but this man ran around the house like a monkey, but refused to take it.

Mu Ting sighed, "Okay, I'll keep it first, and I'll give it to you later."

Qi Zhan responded with his mouth, but thought in his heart, he wouldn't want it then!

After watching the gold, it was getting dark, and Qi Zhan shouted for dinner.

"What to eat?"

Qi Zhan thought about it and said, "I want something warm, um, not sweet, I ate too much cake at noon."

Mu Ting subconsciously looked at his stomach, not only the cake, this man and his friends had cooked a lot of food, Mu Ting was curious, "Have you digested what you ate at noon?"

Qi Zhan got up and grabbed Mu Ting's hand and put it on his stomach, "It's gone, feel it if you don't believe me."

The abdomen is flat, and the abdominal muscles can be vaguely touched. The digestion ability is very strong, and he is a qualified cook.

"Then eat Malatang. You go to the study room to draw first, and also draw the scene when everyone eats cake today. If you don't draw the big head, just follow what your husband taught you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the study." Qi Zhan is not at all against going into the study now, and he is also interested in painting. Sometimes, without Mu Ting telling him, he will draw some interesting things in the academy by himself.

This is a good start.

……

Zhao Quan has already prepared today's dinner, and the people in the back kitchen are all chatting and warming up in front of the stove.

At this time, it was cold, and charcoal fires could be burned in the houses of the masters to keep warm, but the charcoal distributed to the servants was rationed, and generally speaking, it was possible to save as much as possible.And those who work in the kitchen can also get some benefits because of the stove fire. Every day after dinner, they squat in front of the stove for a while to warm up and then go back to the house to sleep. As long as the quilt is tightly covered, they can sleep comfortably all night.

"Third young lady."

"Is the third young lady going to cook delicious food again?"

"Third young lady, do you want to help? We will help you."

As soon as Mu Ting appeared, he felt the enthusiasm of these fire warmers.

He smiled and asked, "There are still a lot of dishes left today, so I'll make a Mala Tang."

They don't know what Malatang is, but dishes...these people got up one after another, and quickly put all the remaining dishes in front of Mu Ting.

The snow came late this year, and it will be the twelfth lunar month soon, but the capital has not yet snowed. Even so, it is getting colder every day, and fresh vegetables are almost gone.

The Qi family is fine. Qi's mother has a hot spring village on the outskirts of the capital. There are a lot of vegetables grown on the village, and the village will send a cart every other day.

Mu Ting picked out some vegetables and asked Zhao Quan to help him wash them. He also picked out meat and asked Zhao Quan to cut it into thin slices. Finally, he found a live fish in the water tank. It seemed that he could add more fish balls.

The kitchen started to get busy again. After Mu Ting made the fish balls, he began to make the spicy soup base. Put oil in the pot, add aniseed green onion and ginger and sauté until fragrant, then add bean paste and dogwood sauce to stir fry on low heat, and then add it to the kitchen The chicken soup that has been simmering in the pot is based on the chicken soup, and the prepared ingredients are cooked together in the pot, and finally sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.

Because of the fried ingredients, the whole kitchen is filled with a slightly choking spicy smell, but it is very fragrant. Just by smelling this smell, one can imagine how delicious this Mala Tang is.

Mu Ting took away what he and Qi Zhan wanted to eat, but left soup in the pot. The people in the kitchen were very smart, and immediately pestered Zhao Quan to order for them to taste.

Don’t dare if there are too many, but it’s okay for one person to try something new with one or two bites.

Those who couldn't wait went over to scoop up the soup base with a small spoon, and then showed an expression of intoxicated surprise, and said loudly: "It's delicious!"

"With this soup, I can still eat three more bowls of rice."

Zhao Quan slapped him away, "Go, is this for you to drink?"

The man gave a silly laugh, and went to wash the vegetables obediently.

……

As soon as Mu Ting came out of the kitchen with a large pot of Mala Tang and a food box containing rice, a gust of cold wind rushed into his neck, making him shiver subconsciously.

It was fine before I came to the kitchen to make dinner, but after a while, the weather changed, the wind blew, and the branches of the trees swayed. Mu Ting thought it was going to snow.

Just as he was thinking, a person suddenly ran up ahead, and Mu Ting saw that it was Qi Zhan when he came up to him. Qi Zhan had a cloak in his hand, and put it on Mu Ting when he came over.

Mu Ting was afraid that the hot and spicy soup would be spilled, so he let Qi Zhan move, "Why are you here, aren't you painting?"

Qi Zhan fastened his belt, took the Mala Tang from Mu Ting's hands, and the two walked back together, Qi Zhan said, "Bai Ling said that it was windy outside, I think you must be cold, so I came to pick you up. "

Mu Ting was a little amused when he came to pick him up at such a short distance, "Who did you learn this from?"

"In the book," Qi Zhan said solemnly.

"What book?" Mutin asked.

"Just... the fox spirit book, I haven't read many books before," the fox spirit was the one that impressed him the most.

Qi Zhan explained to Mu Ting as he walked, "On a snowy day, the scholar went out to recite poems with others, and the fox was afraid that the scholar would be cold, so she plucked the hair and used magic tricks to transform into a fox-fur cloak to pick him up. The scholar was moved. "

After Qi Zhan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Mu Ting. In the dim light, Mu Ting couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but you don't need to guess that Qi Zhan must want to ask him if he was moved.

Not moved, but sighed, Qi Zhan, a vixen, is quite stable.

And, besides Sun Wukong, vixen can also pluck hairs and turn them into things. Mu Ting thinks he has learned a lot.

Seeing that Mu Ting didn't speak, Qi Zhan turned his head in disappointment, and muttered in a low voice, "Then I'll give you a fox fur cloak when it snows."

Mu Ting was amused by him and laughed out loud, "You want to be a vixen so much, her ending is not good."

According to what Qi Zhan said before, the number one scholar in high school wants to make a new love and climb high, but he is afraid that the fox spirit will retaliate against him, so he finds someone to make a play, pretending to be seriously ill, and needs the fox's heart as medicine to cure him.The scholar loves so much that he desperately loves the vixen, so he is deceived by the vixen. The vixen without the fox's heart is nothing to fear, and soon dies in the hands of the demon catcher invited by the scholar.

"No," Qi Zhan shook his head, and said bluntly, "I just want to be nice to you, but I've never done these things before, don't you know, I don't have enough books, so I can only learn from vixen."

"And Ting Ting, you are so nice, you are not a heartless scholar like a scholar."

Mu Ting reminded him, "But we are not the relationship between a scholar and a vixen."

"Then what's the matter, if it's not that kind of relationship, can't I be nice to you?" Qi Zhan said confidently.

"Yes," Mutin replied.

He probably understood that Qi Zhan really put him in the position of his wife, but he didn't understand love, let alone how difficult it is for two men to love each other.

Having already entered the room while talking, Qi Zhan put Malatang on the table, touched his ears, stared at Malatang and said to Mu Ting, "It looks delicious, and it smells so good."

Mu Ting took out the rice and bowls and chopsticks from the food box, and filled a bowl full of rice for Qi Zhan, "Eat, and then go to bed early, tomorrow you are going to the academy again."

Qi Zhan put a chopstick of bean curd into his mouth, and nodded indiscriminately, "I'm showing off today, and tomorrow I'm sure the whole academy is full of legends about me. I'm going to hear how they praise me tomorrow."

Mu Ting looked at him twice, thinking, is this the vanity of a dandy?

But this is Qi Zhan's ability to get the limelight, and he should really be praised. He said, "Then I will give you a gift when you come back tomorrow."

Qi Zhan's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded like a puppy, "Okay, okay, I will definitely come back early tomorrow!"

He also graciously made bean curds for Mu Ting, and praised Mu Ting's craftsmanship frankly and honestly.

The bean curd is made by Mu Ting and the kitchen staff. In addition to the bean curd, there are also soy products such as dried tofu, soaked bean curd, etc., because the bean curd can be put away after drying, so most of them are made, and put in In the spicy soup, it is full of soup, salty, spicy, and the taste is almost indescribable.

In addition to the bean curd, other dishes are also delicious, such as tender and elastic fish balls, thinly sliced ​​mutton, green pea tips, all of them are delicious!

Qi Zhan crazily grilled rice, finished all the dishes, even the soup, and his flat stomach successfully bulged.

Mu Ting looked worried for him, "If you continue to eat like this, you will become a big fat man." Now that you are young, you can work hard, but when you get older and your metabolism can't keep up, it's all meat.

"No, I'll take the Prestige team for a few more laps in the street and it will clear up," Qi Zhan said confidently.

"Besides, I only eat so much of the dishes you cook, Ting Ting, and I eat very little of the dishes made by others."

Oh, Mu Ting said coldly, I believe you, when I first came here, Madam Zhang said that three bowls are the base, and five bowls are enough, but now, Qi Zhan's appetite has increased to six bowls, and occasionally he can eat more. superior.

Mu Ting asked him to go out for a few laps to eat. Qi Zhan obediently went out to make the Prestige team howl, and somehow angered Brother Qi. Mu Ting could hear Brother Qi roaring in the room.

Mu Ting shook his head, really didn't know what to say.

Later, when the two were lying on the bed and sleeping, Mu Ting suddenly remembered something and asked Qi Zhan, "Why do you compare yourself to a vixen instead of a scholar?"

The drowsy Qi Zhan replied instinctively with three words, "I don't deserve it."

Mu Ting: "..." This self-knowledge is irrefutable.

……

In the morning, Mu Ting and Qi Zhan were awakened by Nanny Zhang, and then Bai Ling shouted excitedly outside that it was snowing.

Mu Ting became interested, and immediately put on his clothes and shoes and got out of bed to see the snow. He opened the door, and the outside was covered in white snow.

The snow was still falling, and the servants of Qi's family hadn't started cleaning yet, so Mu Ting hurriedly turned around and called Qi Zhan to watch it.

This kind of snow capital exists every winter, and it’s nothing unusual. Qi Zhan saw it big when he was a child, but when he saw Mu Ting waving at him happily, Qi Zhan walked over subconsciously, looking at the snow outside, he felt that it seemed to be more snowy than usual. To be more beautiful.

He saw the surprise in Mu Ting's eyes, Qi Zhan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Ting Ting, do you like snow very much?"

Mu Ting nodded, "Well, Chuxue paired with hot pot is wonderful."

"Is that the pot you said last time you would eat it in snowy weather? Isn't it delicious?" Mu Ting didn't need to answer, he started talking to himself again, "What am I talking about, the dishes you cook There's nothing bad about it."

Then he muttered that he must come back early in the afternoon, and he was already fantasizing about the taste of hot pot before eating.

Seeing that Qi Zhan was about to eat hot pot before going out, Mu Ting had no choice but to urge him to wash his face, rinse his mouth, and have breakfast. This reminded Qi Zhan that besides eating, he also had important matters to go to the academy—he accepted everyone's praise.

So, don't be late!

Qi Zhan groaned, and immediately called for someone to bring him washing water.

……

After Qi Zhan went out to go to school, Mu Ting also got busy. He wanted to eat hot pot, and the ingredients must be indispensable. Mu Ting found the housekeeper and asked him to arrange someone to go outside to see if there was any beef seller. I bought them all back.

The imperial court banned the killing of farm cattle. Only beef that died of old age or fell to death by accident can be sold in the market. Whether you can buy it depends on luck.

Mu Ting himself took Bai Ling and two servants to the street to buy chicken, duck, fish, and dried goods. He bought ingredients like this, and Qi's mother and the others knew that the family could eat delicious food again today. Looking up, I looked forward to it getting dark earlier so that they could have dinner earlier.

Mu Ting didn't know what Qi's mother and the others were thinking, so he handed over the ingredients to the kitchen staff to clean and cut them, while he played in the snow in the courtyard for a long time, and then went to the kitchen to make hot pot soup base according to the time.

Hot pot is a kind of food that almost everyone loves and praises. Once you have eaten it, it is difficult to refuse the temptation it brings.

I was lucky today, I ran into a beef seller when I was shopping at the house. It is said that it was an old cow that did not survive the snowy night last night.

I bought all the offal and butter, and I also bought a lot of meat. The beef and offal are ready to be placed on the plate, and the butter is an important ingredient for the spicy hot pot that Mu Ting is going to make today.

Add coriander and green onion to the butter to enhance the aroma and remove the fishy smell. After frying, remove it, then add ginger garlic, dogwood sauce, and bean paste. During this process, stir and stir constantly to avoid sticking to the pot. When the aroma blooms, you can Put the spices such as cinnamon and star anise, then add tempeh, sugar, a large amount of pepper soaked in wine, a little fermented glutinous rice, and finally pour the bone broth that was boiled early before eating, and the bottom of the pot is ready.

It is not difficult to make hot pot bottom material, but the difficulty is the taste.

Every hot pot restaurant in modern times has its own unique secrets, some work hard on chili, some pay more attention to the soup base, and the order of stir-frying ingredients. The painstaking research of the chef and the owner has made the diners and themselves.

Wanjia hot pot has thousands of flavors, each with its own strengths, graceful taste and long aftertaste.

Mu Ting also has his own little trick, which is to add dry powder to the stir-fried ingredients, which can make the hot and boiling hot pot soup more delicious, and it is oily but not greasy.

As the sky was getting dark, Mu Ting fried the bottom ingredients and began to direct the servants to deliver the dishes to the main room.

It was also at this time that Qi Zhan, who had just stepped back, appeared in the kitchen. He was not in a hurry to watch the food today, but first pulled Mu Ting aside and told him mysteriously, "Ting Ting, I have a son."

Mutin: "???" Say it again, what do you have?
