Abduct a general to farm

Unable to get alone time with his wife, and being kicked out by her disgust, Ajiu drooped his shoulders mournfully, and went to feed his wife's beloved sika deer first, then walked slowly to the kitchen.

Naturally, the kitchen is also newly built. It is on the left side of the wall outside the house. It is small. The kitchen is built separately so that people in the house will not be afraid of being choked by fireworks when cooking.

Grandma Mo just started washing rice and cooking. The pots they use are not iron pots but clay pots. Ajiu said, Grandma, I will help you. Seeing that Grandma Mo has added water to the rice, she has to squat down to get some firewood. I lit a fire, but one fire couldn't be ignited for a long time.

It was Granny Mo's turn to catch fire at one o'clock, and Ajiu was driven outside by Grandma Mo to deal with the prey, so he had no choice but to work hard, and quickly peeled the prey and chopped it into pieces.

What he hunted today were wild boars, and he also caught two fish by the river, and now they have been disembowelled and disposed of on plates.

He also clumsily washed the vegetables and rinsed the pot. Before he recovered his memory, he had never thought about doing these things. In the Jiang Mansion, these things were done by servants. Now he did it for the first time. It was time-consuming to think about it, and the kitchen was hot, and going in and out made him sweat a little on his forehead.

Grandma Mo lit up the fire in the cauldron, took out some homemade tender tofu cross cuts and put them aside, and then started to stir-fry.

All she cooks are home-cooked dishes, and she cooks whatever ingredients are available.Ajiu had nothing to do anyway, so he squatted down to help Grandma Mo watch the fire.

When the pot was about to heat up, Grandma Mo's old voice came from above, with a little smile: "Ajiu, do you want to learn how to cook?"

Ajiu paused, looked up in astonishment, and saw Grandma Mo smiling at him, and said, "Anyone who can't cook for my wife is not a good man."

Ajiu, who is no longer a little fool, understands that Grandma Mo has already accepted him and regards him as her grandson-in-law, which is also for Mo Ran's consideration.

Although there is a saying that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, those who really love their wives will not care about such words at all. After all, if a gentleman stays away from the kitchen and there are no servants in the family, it is his wife who will suffer in the end.

Ajiu also wanted to cook for his wife. Since Grandma Mo wanted to teach him, he stood up without much hesitation, washed his hands and rolled up his cumbersome sleeves.

He took the shovel from Grandma Mo's hand, and carefully poured oil into the pot under Grandma Mo's guidance, but accidentally poured too much oil, and the oil in the hot pot splashed and scalded Ajiu's hand.

Ajiu was startled by the oil, his eyes were rounded, and he poured the sliced ​​pork into it in a hurry, almost threw the plate in, and started to fry it with his hands.

Grandma Mo reminded him to add salt, fried to a certain level and asked him to serve it up, and then boiled tofu. Grandma Mo asked Ajiu to cook fried pork with tofu.

Tofu is difficult to cook, because it is easy to break when stir-frying, and it is easy to burn if it is not stir-fried.

Although Grandma Mo tried her best to help, when the tofu and meat were finally fried, the tofu was almost broken into slag. The only advantage might be that it was not burnt and the taste was still edible.

After stir-frying vegetables, the last dish is fish. Fish is more difficult to cook than tofu. If it is not cooked properly, it will easily become fishy. Grandma Mo did not make things difficult for Ajiu. She continued to work in the kitchen and asked Ajiu to ask Mo Ran to come down to eat.

Ajiu breathed a sigh of relief, brought the dishes to the lobby, and ran to the second floor to call for someone to show off his results.

Mo Ran was surprised to see the dishes on the table, and exclaimed, "You made these two dishes? Can you eat them?"

It’s because the color of the dish isn’t pretty. Ajiu hasn’t tasted it yet, so he doesn’t have much confidence in his heart, so he muttered in a low voice, “This is the first time I’ve made it, it might not taste good.”

He felt a little annoyed in his heart, and felt that he shouldn't practice cooking during meal time on the spur of the moment. If it tasted bad, they wouldn't have anything to eat at noon.

He looked at Mo Ran, and said firmly: "I will practice more in the future, and make delicious food for my wife."

Mo Ran took a piece of meat with chopsticks and tasted it, and commented: "The meat is a bit old and salty, but it's edible."

He patted Ajiu on the shoulder and encouraged him: "It's very good to do this for the first time. If you do it well in the future, your wife will be lucky."

Ajiu glanced at Mo Ran, who had never taken his words seriously, and sighed, thinking that I would do it later, lady, you are really lucky.

Thinking of the burning pain on his arm, he stretched out his hand, pretending to inadvertently show his arm that was splashed by oil droplets in front of Mo Ran.

Mo Ran was indeed attracted by the blisters on his hand, he couldn't help but grab his hand in front of him, frowned and said, "How did you do that with your hand?"

Maybe he didn't even notice it himself, and there was some worry on his face.

Ajiu bent the corner of his mouth, straightened it up quickly, and retracted his hand pretending nothing happened: "It's okay, it's just that the oil was splashed when cooking, and it will be fine soon."

Mo Ran frowned tightly, and a slight crease appeared in the middle. He stared at him and said, "You have blisters all over your hands, why are you fine? Don't you feel pain? If the blisters are not treated, they will disappear in a few days." Can't go down. You wait here, I'll help you get something to apply, it will get better sooner."

Mo Ran hurried away, but did not see Ajiu showing a triumphant smile behind him.

The general did what he said. From that day on, under the guidance of Grandma Mo, he washed his hands and made soup every day, and learned how to cook diligently. Didn't reach the master chef achievement, but it's still pretty good.

When Grandma Mo and Mo Ran went to Jiang Ping's house to make tofu, Zhang Ke and Zhang Guo, who sneaked into the yard of Mo Ran's house, saw their noble master cooking in the cramped kitchen. They almost stared out.

The two who were very serious in business and casual with their master in private surrounded Jiang Jingjiu in amazement. They really didn't expect their master to have such a day.

"Master, you are too powerful. When you were missing and recovering from your injuries, you even found the general's wife for us. The lady is still a great beauty. I like her very much. I am so envious. I can find a beautiful lady sometime. "

Zhang Guo took advantage of Jiang Jingjiu's turning around and stole a piece of meat to eat, and said while chewing, with his head raised and his face full of longing.

Zhang pitifully touched his face and said, "When you grow up."

Zhang Guo slapped off his second brother's hand unhappily: "I'm not a child anymore."

When Jiang Jingjiu heard the word like, his face was a little displeased, and he turned his head and said: "Take back your likes, the lady is mine, if you are free, I can arrange some things for you to save you from worrying about others." The lady of the family."

Zhang Guo said in surprise: "I just want to express my respect and love for my wife. I definitely don't want to rob someone from the master. Master, please hold your hands high! Don't care about a child like me!"

"Master, can I eat some of these things?" Zhang Ke and Zhang Guo salivated at the prepared food on the table, Jiang Jingjiu said indifferently: "There is no share for you."

They wept and quarreled with Jiang Jingjiu for a while before they got down to business: "Master, elder brother has heard news from the capital that the third prince seems to have sent people here secretly. If the master continues to be here, I'm afraid the third prince's people will sooner or later Find here."

They are still looking for something against the third prince, but with such a short time, I am afraid that the third prince's people will come here faster than them, after all, this is not a place to stay for a long time.

"Where are our people?"

"This... the hidden guards are fine, but many of the guards in Jiang's residence have been detained by the third prince for excuses. He is sure that the master is not here, and he is looking for trouble for Jiang's residence."

These days they are busy looking for someone, Jiang's mansion can't take care of them, and the hidden guards can't show up at will, now the eldest brother Zhang Fu has to check if there are any people in the mansion who belong to the third prince, anyway, it's not peaceful.

Jiang Jingjiu brought out the last dish, and said, "Don't stay here for the time being, go and lure those people away. As for the people from the capital, let the hidden guards deal with them, and don't leave anything behind."

Zhang Ke hesitated: "Then, master... when will you return to Beijing?"

Jiang Jingjiu didn't want to say more, and flicked his sleeves: "I'll talk about it later, let's go, they will be back soon."

Although a little reconciled, the two of them withdrew, but before Zhang Ke left, he boldly said: "I hope the master will return to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise the power behind the prince will be defeated by the third prince. ...You can take Madam back together, you will be able to protect her."

After the two left, Jiang Jingjiu lowered his head, his expression was indistinguishable, and it was not until Mo Ran came back that he returned to his original appearance.

The days went on steadily, and the tofu factory and oil mill that Mo Ran opened in the village were finally completed. The outside was still surrounded by a high courtyard wall, which was more than three meters high, and people outside could not see the scene inside.

With all the equipment needed, Mo Ran will start recruiting workers today. People from neighboring villages and towns in this village can do it, so people who heard the news rushed here. They are all people who have not found their masters. They look forward to coming here Find a job to do.

Mo Ran clarified his conditions and benefits to everyone. The benefits he gave have always been the best, and no one would raise any objections. In the end, each factory recruited more than 20 people, including people from the village and town. A confidentiality agreement was signed.

As for the tofu and soybean oil made in the factory, I don't have to worry about selling them. First of all, Jiutian Restaurant has ordered a large order, and there are other large and small orders one after another.

Now the business of Jiutian Restaurant is booming, hot pot milk tea ice cream can be sold out every day, not only Yunyang City opened a branch, but also opened a restaurant in the capital.The prices in the capital are more expensive, and the style of the Jiutian restaurant branch is also higher.

Those high-ranking officials and nobles are all conquered by the food of Jiutian Restaurant. Even when they are entertaining others, they will definitely order the ice cream and milk tea of ​​Jiutian Restaurant. It’s just that the hot pot is not so much because people at the banquet don’t like to eat with outsiders. Show up at the banquet.

It can only be said that Jiutian Restaurant became even more famous. After knowing who opened Jiutian Restaurant, the court officials who had good friends with the Shu family all congratulated Shu Jiutian's father, Prime Minister Shu's youngest son, on his success.

Shu Chengxiang, who was surrounded by a group of people and praised him every day, had a smile on his face, accepting other people's compliments calmly, but he was not very happy in his heart. After all, what he wanted most was to let his sons become officials. His youngest son, a rebellious son, decided to go into business.

Merchants are not high-ranking people, and their status is not very high. Although some of his colleagues are boasting, they may laugh at him and his son in their hearts.

If it wasn't for the lack of time, Prime Minister Shu would have wanted to go and grab Shu Jiutian's ears to teach him a lesson.
