Fertile land

Luo Zhi'er put on the large apron, sleeves, mask, and chef's hat that she brought over and made herself.

I also made it for Chef Xie.
The other five people are also very professional, wearing uniforms with the Yumanlou logo, which she specially made at home yesterday.

In the morning, I discussed the recipes for today’s banquet with Chef Xie at Yumanlou.

This recipe was written by her at home and given to Ye Beiyao in advance. It was one of those recipes that Chef Xie and the others had tried first.

The ingredients, chicken, duck, fish, and seasonings in Jiangfu are all complete. They also brought some tools. The only thing is that the dishes they want to make are more complex and the ingredients are incomplete.

After the two of them murmured for a while, Chef Xie made a shopping list according to his needs and asked Chang Qing and Jiang Mansion's purchasing boy to buy the ingredients!

He and Luo Zhi'er started cooking using the available ingredients.

Before cooking, take out the dough you brought over yesterday and steam the longevity peaches.

This longevity peach has chicken filling, bean paste filling, jujube filling, chestnut filling, and walnut filling.
Dip red dye on top to give it a beautiful color.

Then comes the first dish, Erlong Xizhu.
Pork with dried tangerine peel
Tianxiang Abalone
Dongpo meat.
Griddle Bullfrog
Fish head with chopped pepper
Tremella fungus soup, pig's feet soup, lotus root meatball soup
The dishes this time were basically produced by Luo Zhi'er, and Chef Xie was the one who actually did the cooking.

The kitchen stove in the back kitchen is not suitable for cooking large pot dishes. There are more people today, so Luo Zhier adapted to local conditions.
Do it yourself, arch your big buttocks and dig a trench with the boy in the open space of the side room in the backyard near the kitchen, put in the charcoal, set up a pot and stove, and stew various soups!
In the hall, there are banquet tables and precious fruits. The happiest person today is Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang is sitting at the main table. She has thin eyebrows and a shrewd air between her eyebrows. She has a straight bridge of nose. The skin on her cheeks has become loose due to the baptism of time, but her skin is still fair and rosy.
The old lady of the Jia family sat beside him and laughed with her, and then Mrs. Jia and Miss Jia sat at the second table.

There are also old ladies and madams from other mansions. This old lady’s birthday party turned into a blind date party.

Why did he bring his daughter with him? In fact, in ancient times, rich ladies often attended such gatherings to show off their faces.

The main thing is that the young master of Jiang Mansion is twenty-one years old and has not yet been married, so he is of the right age for marriage.

The Jiang family's wealth in the Jiangnan area is as rich as any in the world, so how many people are eager to try it!

Mrs. Jiang is also happy to see the results, and there is nothing wrong with taking a closer look. Although this little grandson does not have an official position, his family has a lot of money. If he is interested, he can donate to an official position.

His direct aunt is also the wife of a first-rank official in the imperial city. She knows the thoughts of these people who came today.

But Jiang Shaoqing doesn't seem to be interested in this matter at the moment. He is hurt by the things in the house.

Before Jiang Shaoqing came to Taoyuan Town, he had a huge dispute with Mr. Jiang. There were mistakes in the work Jiang Jingnian did for him, which caused the cloth shop to almost lose money. Small loss.

It was rumored outside that Young Master Jiang was a playboy, hiding a charming girl in the golden house, and hid a pretty beauty. He doted on her and played with her every night.

Young Master Jiang doesn't like the family's cloth shop business, he only knows that he loves beautiful women and has a good reputation.

She was the only one who knew that her eldest son and concubine had done this intentionally, and it was all her fault that she had been so soft-hearted when she was young and had caused such a disaster.

Let him secretly plan to invade Hongfutai's cloth and dyeing business step by step, making his direct grandson Shaoqing infamous.

She knows her young master, she has seen him since childhood, even though he looks domineering, bastard, and arrogant!

Most of all, he is kind and filial. He has suffered a lot from them since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot from them!
She did a lot of work secretly and clearly, but she didn't understand this business matter, and it was up to them to take the lead.

As for whether her eldest grandson Jiang Xuan was involved or not, it's hard to say.

Jiang Xuan is the concubine of Mr. Jiang, Jiang Jingnian. Because Jiang Xuan is deeply trusted by Mr. Jiang, he and Aunt Liu are very important to Mr. Jiang.

Jiang Xuan was respectful to Shaoqing and did what an elder brother should do.

On the contrary, Mrs. Jiang's temperament is too stubborn. Her natal family is a small official of the seventh rank. The official lady is strong and weak, so she is not liked by Mr. Jiang.

In addition, the legitimate son Shaoqing has shown the habit of a little bully since he was a child.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang also protected the cub, which made him lose a lot of face outside.

I deeply felt that he was not as upbeat and obedient as Jiang Xuan, and was a playboy who did not do his job properly. Therefore, he was rejected by Master Jiang.

Mainly, he doesn't love Mrs. Jiang, but rather loves Aunt Liu. After all, she is his confidante who has been with him since he was young.

Aunt Liu is the concubine of a friend whom Mr. Jiang met when he was doing business. When she was young, she had a peach-shaped face and a graceful figure. She was a proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He has a gentle face and is respectful to his wife. He has known Jiang Jingnian since he was a child.These people are so ambitious that they dominate all the affairs of Jiangnan Hongfutai cloth dyeing, and prevent Shaoqing from getting involved and infiltrating everything.

This time, they persuaded Jiang Jingnian to send him to such a remote place under the guise of letting him exercise and hone his will.

It was said that he was being assigned to temper his will, but in fact, he gave up. They thought that this was the end of his skills and his failure to recover, but they didn't expect that her grandson was not a vegetarian either!

He did a big thing for Buyifang with just one move!The mountains are high and the roads are far away, which makes it a place beyond the control of their forces.

Although she feels that the identities of this group of women are not on the table, there are still some good ones. If you choose someone who is helpful, maybe your grandson will like it!
His eyes were wandering around a group of young girls, and everyone was competing to impress the old lady.

"Where is Shaoqing?"

The other women also looked eager to try, looking around.

Mrs. Jiang turned around and asked the steward next to her. This was the person given to her by her daughter Jiang Zihan. She was an old man in the palace and had been the steward of the third rank.

This time I heard the old lady talk about what happened to Shaoqing, and specifically asked her to take it back for use in the Jiang Mansion where the master was not like the master.

The banquet is about to start, why hasn’t the young master come yet?

"Old lady, the young master is waiting for guests."

"Oh?"

"Do you know who it is?"

"He is the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion in Beijing. There is also Mr. Wang, the magistrate's family in Taoyuan Town, and Mr. Jia of the Jia Mansion."

Aunt Yu lowered her head and whispered, and Mrs. Jiang's eyes lit up. Shaoqing is a good boy. After leaving the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den, when he came to Taoyuan Town, he could make friends with young talents like the Prince of the Marquis Mansion.

It's just that this young prince doesn't seem to have a good reputation. He is also a playboy. She has heard such rumors since she returned to the capital.
frown
"Why is the young prince in Taoyuan Town?"

"His mother seems to be from here, and the Yuman Building is his mother's property. It's normal for him to be here!"

The young prince was born in a pitiful life. His mother passed away early, and there were no other relatives left in his mother's family. Only a cousin from his uncle's family was still alive!
If the master found out about this, wouldn't he be accused of not doing his job properly and making bad friends?
"Old madam, you can't believe some rumors. It's better to wait until you meet the real person!"

"Correct!"

The old lady's brows widened.

Ye Beiyao, Jiang Shaoqing, Wang Jiji, Jia Luan and a few other followers stayed in the living room for a while, and then he suggested going out to the private room of Wangchun Tower to enjoy the beautiful scenery!
A few people were chatting in a private room. Standing at the window, they were suddenly attracted by the aroma that made people drool!

Looking out the window, I saw many steaming pots and stoves in the back kitchen.
There was a very fat woman wearing strange clothes, with her big butt raised and her back facing them, and she was preparing dishes in a hurry.

Shouting with a loud voice,
"Pan'er, chop some garlic and green onions for me!"

"Who is that?"

Those aromas are the smell of the hot steam coming out of the pot.
Ye Beiyao said that this smell should be from his chef cooking dishes.

“The reputation of Yumanlou is truly well-deserved.”

Jiang Shaoqing quickly agreed.

Swallowing his saliva, the smell was so good that Wang Jiji had to run down to take a look!
Others also followed him down to Wangchun Tower.

When he walked to the backyard, he saw a real person. He saw the fat woman with her hat high on her head, and she was bobbing like she was practicing martial arts. Wang Jiji was very curious about her, "Shaoqing, who is this fat man? He is too fat. I am still Never seen that before!”

Wang Shaoqing looked confused. Why are you cooking outside? Isn't there a kitchen?What's going on with these rows of pots and stoves?
Although this was the first time she met her at her own home, Ye Beiyao said calmly: "She is my famous little cook!"

"what?"

Jia Luan couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said: "Beiyao, you are not a little cook!"

Ye Beiyao was a little unhappy and his face darkened.
