border cook

After Feng Shuo and Jiang Yanyi looked at each other, he quickly put down the curtain of the carriage. His carriage was low-key and parked in an inconspicuous position, and no one noticed it.

Jiang Yanyi also knew that now was not the time to ask Feng Shuo why he came here. After Feng Shuo lowered the curtain, she took Aunt Guo and a little girl to the carriage of Anfu, and greeted the servants of Anfu. Helped Mrs. An into the building, turned around and told the waiter:

"Go get a doctor!"

Mrs. An knew she was ashamed, and when she saw Jiang Yanyi coming over, she took off the handkerchief covering her mouth for the sake of dignity: "Thank you for your kindness (kindness) from the store, so don't bother (trouble)."

A front tooth was broken, and Mrs. An's speech is leaking now, and this fall not only broke the tooth, but also the nasal bone seemed to be hit hard. Most of the blood on her handkerchief came from nosebleeds.

Mrs. An only felt that her whole face was numb. When she knocked on her front teeth, she also hurt her tongue. Now she can't move her tongue, and tears are rolling in her eyes. If she didn't care about the occasion, she might cry in pain mother.

If she fell in Jiang Yanyi's shop, she could still attribute the fault to Jiang Yanyi's antique soup shop, but it fell from her own carriage on the side of the street, and she couldn't touch Jiang Yanyi's shop even if she touched porcelain.

Entering the shop in such a mess, and being seen by the guests attending the banquet, she lost all face.

Mrs. An knew very well the virtues of those high-ranking ladies, and she might not know how to laugh at her behind her back, so when Jiang Yanyi proposed to let her go to the store to rest and ask for a doctor, she did not even think about it. declined.

Mrs. An was hurriedly sent to another carriage by the servants of An's family, and returned home with Mrs. An, leaving only Mrs. An to entertain guests in the restaurant.

Jiang Yanyi brought Mrs. An into the store, and the news of Mrs. An's fall was covered up. Except for the people outside who saw it, the guests inside didn't know that Mrs. An made such a big mess.

Mrs. An wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief at the porch, and managed to put on a smile and said to Jiang Yanyi: "The shop is very careful about today's banquet. I would like to thank the shop for the troupe and the extra dishes. , the store will count the money together at the checkout.”

She spoke in a low voice, but she was very organized.

Jiang Yanyi felt that Mrs. An was not as good at housekeeping as the previous women said.

She said politely: "What's the matter, young lady, thanks to your family taking care of the business of the small shop."

When Mrs. An returned to the banquet to greet the female guests, Jiang Yanyi sat back at the counter full of doubts.

Chu Shubao kowtowed the melon seeds, and touched Jiang Yanyi with his elbow: "I just found out, do you know how the An family's birthday banquet was ruined?"

Jiang Yanyi leaned closer: "I'm listening, tell me."

Chu Shubao said gossipingly: "Mrs. An wants to support her niece to be a concubine for her son. Mrs. An looks soft-tempered, but she refuses to nod her head on this matter. Old Mrs. An is another To protect the granddaughter-in-law. Mrs. An didn't know if she was really angry or pretended to be sick, but she asked Mrs. An to serve her for more than half a month."

"Later, Mrs. An is going to celebrate her birthday. When the old lady saw that Mrs. An was ill, she asked her grandson-in-law to take charge of the housekeeping. If Mrs. An manages the birthday party well, then the power of housekeeper will fall into her hands. Unexpectedly, on the night before Mrs. An's birthday, rats entered the kitchen of An's family and ruined all the prepared vegetables and meat, so An's family had no choice but to temporarily book the birthday banquet to an outside restaurant."

Jiang Yanyi said: "Could it be that Mrs. An asked someone to release the mouse?"

Chu Shubao's face was rather gloating: "It's probably her. No wonder she broke her tooth in front of Mrs. An's carriage. It's just a man's work!"

Chu Jiabao echoed, "Fortunately, she is still a vegetarian and recites Buddhism, she even dares to tamper with her mother-in-law's birthday."

She looked at Mrs. An during the banquet, and shook her head again and again: "You see, her daughter-in-law is soft-tempered, and she has to suffer a lot at home."

Jiang Yanyi also glanced over there, and quickly looked away: "This Mrs. An's housekeeper can arrange everything for the birthday banquet for the first time, and she doesn't look like a stupid person. But when it comes to these housework , if she doesn't stand up by herself, no one else can help her."

There are several well-known restaurants in Xizhou, and large-scale banquets must be booked in advance, so that the restaurants can purchase ingredients and prepare dishes in advance.

Ruyi Building has just opened, and although it has a previous customer base, it is not well-known for hosting banquets.Mrs. An was able to find them directly, probably because she knew that the antique soup was easy to prepare, and they could eat it as soon as the guests arrived, instead of sitting and waiting.

With such judgment and decision-making ability, if Mrs. An Shao's temper is a bit tougher, she will not have the part of her mother-in-law as a demon.

Mrs. An will come along with her, probably because she heard that Ruyilou is not well-known yet, and thought Mrs. An was going to make a fool of herself here.Thinking about the incident, Mrs. An will lose all face, and she may not like this granddaughter-in-law any more.

At that time, if the hat of unfilial piety is taken down, Mrs. An may be divorced.

She, an outsider, can understand this, and Mrs. An probably knows what her mother-in-law An is thinking.

Chu Shubao sighed and said, "If Mrs. An married an ordinary family, maybe this life would be easier."

Differences in family status bring about not only differences in self-cultivation and bearing, but also differences in ideas and ways of doing things.This Mrs. An Shao was directly promoted to this position. Naturally, it would not work to use her old rules of dealing with affairs in a wealthy family's house.

Blindly speaking well will only be regarded as a soft persimmon by others. If you want to calm people down, you must show your temper.

The sisters were talking, when Aunt Guo came over and said, "There are two girls on the third floor who want to buy rouge."

As soon as the two sisters Chu Shubao heard that there was a business, they couldn't sit still, so they immediately went upstairs.

Jiang Yanyi smiled and shook his head, feeling bored while grilling the charcoal basin, thinking about bringing the cats at home tomorrow, when suddenly a tall and straight figure appeared in front of the counter.

Looking at Feng Shuo's expressionless handsome face, Jiang Yanyi finally remembered that she had forgotten someone again, and she laughed awkwardly: "I thought you were just passing by."

Feng Shuo just looked at her like that and didn't speak.

Just when Jiang Yanyi felt his scalp go numb, he said, "I want a private room."

The shop waiter thought it was a new customer, so he rushed over to guide Feng Shuo.

Jiang Yanyi sat at the counter for a while before going upstairs.

When she entered the door, she found that Xiao Er had brought Feng Shuo a pot, it was red soup, and the dishes were also complete, and at a glance, it was all meat, except for the two plates of bean sprouts and tofu that were given away for free when the store opened.

"Why are you free today?" Jiang Yanyi opened the stool and sat opposite Feng Shuo.

Feng Shuo was rinsing a slice of plum blossom meat that had been sliced ​​very thinly, and the wooden chopsticks held the slices of meat with distinct textures, paddling back and forth in the tumbling spicy soup. From time to time, cornel and peppercorns were topped on top of the soup noodles because the water boiled.

In the porcelain vase placed at the corner of the table, a branch of Samuume was in bud, and because of the mist rising from the pot, a small drop of water condensed on the flower branch.

Feng Shuo put the boiled plum blossom meat into Jiang Yanyi's bowl, and didn't answer her question directly: "I heard that someone is here to make trouble?"

When he said that, Jiang Yanyi understood.

He heard that someone was making trouble in her shop, so he came here specially.

In Jiang Yanyi's heart, the dissatisfaction that he concealed that the Marquis of Xing'an wanted him to marry his daughter also dissipated. He picked up the plum blossom meat in the bowl and ate it, "The troublemakers have been beaten away, thanks to the Marquis of Xing'an's action." Help."

Plum blossom meat is commonly known as old meat slices. After being cooked in the secret hot pot soup base, the aroma of the soup base melts into the meat. The tender taste and the mellow aroma of the meat slices are really memorable.

For Jiang Yanyi, the only fly in the ointment is that the cornel is not spicy enough, making this red soup hot pot not authentic enough.

Feng Shuo frowned when he heard the words of Marquis of Xing'an, "The people who caused the trouble are also from Marquis of Xing'an, do they want to direct and act in a play?"

The gluttonous Jiang Yanyi who was aroused by a piece of plum blossom meat was rinsing the second piece, she said: "I see that the Xing'an Hou county magistrate is quite refreshing."

Feng Shuo glanced at her: "No one would write their thoughts on their face."

Jiang Yanyi's voice was cold and authentic: "My lord, why haven't I heard you say that Marquis Xing'an wants to be your father-in-law?"

Feng Shuo could hear the jealousy in her words, and said, "He is now my foster father."

He recognized Marquis of Xing'an as his righteous sister, so he did not lift up Marquis of Xing'an's seniority.

Jiang Yanyi wasn't very jealous at first, but when he heard him say that, he couldn't help chuckling: "Going around, Marquis Xing'an still took advantage of you in terms of seniority."

She picked up the cooked plum meat and found that there was no oil dish on her side, so she dipped the oil dish on Fengshuo's side.

Feng Shuo just boiled a piece of meat for her, seeing Jiang Yanyi put the sliced ​​meat in his bowl, he took it for granted that she cooked it for him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, and he picked it up and was about to enjoy it.

But Jiang Yanyi saw that after dipping the meat slices in the sauce with wooden chopsticks, she picked them up and put them into her own mouth.

Feng Shuo: "... Is it delicious?"

Jiang Yan didn't understand, so he nodded: "It's delicious."

The corners of someone's raised mouth slowly froze, and finally he cooked the meat himself.

Jiang Yanyi didn't quite understand, this person was fine one second, but why did he seem to owe him money the next second.

After eating some meat pads, she thought of asking a serious question again: "Did Mrs. An really fall off the shaft by herself?"

It was too much of a coincidence that Feng Shuo was outside at that time.

Feng Shuo focused on the hot-boiled meat: "How does this king know?"

He did it, but he didn't want Jiang Yanyi to know.

When Mrs. An came out of the Ruyi Building, her mouth was not clean, and the old lady An was deaf. With a look of contempt, she told the servant girl that the Ruyi Building opened by Jiang Yanyi was no different from that Huajie Liuxiang. Unfortunately, Feng Shuo heard about it, so he took the initiative to teach her a lesson.

Jiang Yan said in surprise: "Then this is really retribution."

Feng Shuo asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yanyi then told Mrs. An about the immoral things that Mrs. An did to her daughter-in-law, and also told him about An Yongyuan's entanglement with the hero and heroine in the original book.

On the night when she confessed to Feng Shuo completely, she briefly told Feng Shuo the general direction of the dynasty and the main characters in the original book, but the present world has already deviated from the plot of the original book, and many things can only be used as reference and prediction.

"I thought, if Mrs. An is always well, maybe General An can always be of use to you." Jiang Yanyi said.

Feng Shuo seemed to be thinking about something: "Yanyi, tell me, is there a second person in this world who came here from another world just like you?"

Jiang Yanyi froze while holding his wooden hand: "Why are you asking like this all of a sudden?"

Feng Shuo said: "A month ago, Mrs. An accidentally fell into the lake, and it was Lu Linyuan who rescued her."

In Jiang Yanyi's original plot, Lu Linyuan and Mrs. An Shao never met each other.

Lu Linyuan had been the same as Jiang Yanyi many times before, he seemed to be able to predict some things, Feng Shuo had doubts for a long time, and now the matter of Mrs. An made him even more suspicious.

Jiang Yanyi ate the hot pot tofu just picked up from the pot without saying a word.

A month ago, wasn't it just a few days before the Turkic prince escaped from prison.

Because Mrs. An Shao is still alive, so there is no plot of An Yongyuan imprisoning Jiang Yanxi?

If Lu Linyuan went to save Mrs. An from the perspective of protecting Jiang Yanxi, it seemed to make sense.

But if Lu Linyuan also wore it, why did he do it for Jiang Yanxi?Moreover, the original book did not mention how Mrs. An Shao died, and how did Lu Linyuan go to save her by chance?

Jiang Yanyi thought about his attitude when he first met Lu Linyuan, and hesitated to say: "Lu Linyuan should not come from another world like me, but I can try him."

Feng Shuo only said two words, "No."

Jiang Yanyi looked at his instantly stinky face, and said with a smile: "Are you still worried that I will have something to do with him?"

Feng Shuo glanced at her, and put a softly boiled boneless chicken foot in her bowl: "No, no."
