Border Cook

Chapter 503 Heartbreaking
At night, there are crispy and delicious meat biscuits, delicious duck blood vermicelli soup...

Almost every meal was different, allowing Fan Jinglan to fully enjoy a variety of delicious foods.

Especially, no matter what kind of meal it is, it is freshly cooked, tastes fresh and full of flavor, which adds to the deliciousness.

Compared to those palace meals that have to go through layers of complicated processes and even if they are kept warm in various ways, their taste is still inferior when they are served on the table because of the long time they take to prepare. Such home-cooked meals are the real delicacies of the world.

Fan Jinglan was deeply moved by this, and felt more and more that deciding to buy such a courtyard and become Xia Niangzi's neighbor was the most correct thing she had done since arriving in Jinqiu County.

But Fan Jinglan also faced another problem.

She is fat.

It is visible to the naked eye, and the clothes he wears everyday are a bit tight.

For the sake of comfort, I had to start making some new clothes.

Ying'er was delighted. "Before we left, Madam and Master were worried, fearing that Miss wouldn't eat or sleep well and would become haggard and thin. If Madam and Master saw that Miss had gained weight after we returned, they would definitely be happy!"

In this way, the servants will not feel guilty for not serving the young lady well, but will instead receive certain rewards.

Isn’t this a happy thing that has the best of both worlds?
Ying'er was happy, but Fan Jinglan was not. She looked at her own figure in the polished and extremely smooth bronze mirror, which was as tall as a person, again and again, with her brows furrowed.

After a while, he sighed, "Oh no, it's too fat."

"It's better to be fatter, so you look plump." Ying'er consoled, "Miss, if you are worried that being fat will affect your marriage proposal, I think it's totally unnecessary..."

After all, his daughter is the apple of the Fan family's eye, and the Fan family is very popular nowadays. There is no telling how many powerful people in Beijing would like to marry into this family.

Not to mention that even if our young lady gets a little fatter, she will still be beautiful. Even if she is born ugly, she will have no trouble finding a husband!

Fan Jinglan waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm not worried about that. I just feel that if I get fat, I won't be able to move around easily. When I fight with my second brother again, I'm afraid I'll suffer a lot. I might even be at a disadvantage and be laughed at by him."

It’s not right. It’s really not right!

Ying'er: "..."

So this is what the lady is thinking about?

However, if the Second Young Master knew about this, he would probably be so happy that he went crazy. After all, at this time, the young lady still remembered him.

After thinking for a while, Ying'er tentatively advised, "If Miss is worried about this, why don't you eat less in the future?"

Eat less?
How can that work!
Fan Jinglan disagreed at the moment, but suddenly thought of something.

Speaking of which, Doctor Yin and his apprentice usually have a considerable appetite.

Mao Sanli is fine, as he is tall and has a big appetite and consumes a lot of energy. On the contrary, Doctor Yin is small and thin, but he still has an amazing appetite and doesn't gain any weight.

Doctor Yin must have a secret!

With such doubts in mind, Fan Jinglan went to find Yin Lingyou and stated her purpose straight away. She wanted to ask Yin Lingyou for advice on how to eat more without gaining weight.

"Do you really want to know the trick?" Yin Lingyou asked back.

"Yes." Fan Jinglan expressed her attitude, "Please give me some advice, Doctor Yin."

"That's easy." Yin Lingyou got up and went into the house. He came out soon with a porcelain bottle in his hand. "This is the pill I developed. Take one pill every morning and evening, half an hour before meals." "This medicine can inhibit digestion but promote excretion. Basically, all the food you eat can be excreted before the next meal. This will not affect your next meal, and you won't grow too much weight on your body."

Yin Lingyou said, "I have taken this pill for some time and I think it is quite effective. If Madam Fan is interested, you can give it a try."

Fan Jinglan, "..."

She didn't expect it to be this way.

But going to the toilet three times a day is really too frequent.

Fan Jinglan could not accept this way of dealing with the matter, so she politely refused and then turned her attention to the next target.

Xia Mingyue.

She had observed over the past two days that Xia Mingyue ate quite a bit of food every day, but she had a slim figure and did not gain weight.

So, Fan Jinglan found Xia Mingyue again and asked her directly.

Faced with such an inquiry, Xia Mingyue thought for a long time and could only spread her hands to Fan Jinglan, "I don't think I have done anything special. As for what Madam Fan asked me about why I can't gain weight, I don't seem to be able to explain it. If I really want to explain it, it's probably..."

"intrinsic?"

Whether searching the memories after coming to this world or her previous life in modern society, in Xia Mingyue's memory, she always seemed to be thin.

Xia Mingyue could only answer truthfully.

Fan Jinglan naturally believed Xia Mingyue's answer, but she was still quite annoyed by such an answer.

After all, this sounds...

It’s a bit heartbreaking!

But since it was said by Madam Xia, it must be the truth and cannot be false.

Fan Jinglan was at her wit's end. After thinking for a long time that night and tossing and turning, she made another decision.

Madam Xia didn't know the reason, probably because she was in the dark and didn't realize it herself. In this case, she would follow Madam Xia every day to see what Madam Xia did every day, so that she could follow her!

Just do it!

Fan Jinglan came to Xia Mingyue's house again early the next morning. She asked about her daily habits and daily tasks, and expressed her desire to follow Xia Mingyue to see if she could help.

Xia Mingyue was extremely surprised to see Fan Jinglan, a lady from a wealthy family, making such a request, but seeing that she was very frank, she nodded hesitantly, "Okay then..."

"Madam Xia, you don't have to be polite. Just treat me as an ordinary servant and order me around."

It just so happened that she also wanted to experience what the daily life of normal people is like.

In this way, when she returns to Beijing, she will have something to report to the Emperor and the Empress.

Seeing that Fan Jinglan's words were very firm, Xia Mingyue's hesitation dissipated a little, but she still had some concerns, so she just briefly asked about Fan Jinglan's expertise.

After learning that Fan Jinglan had learned needlework, she temporarily arranged for her to help make amulets for the City God Temple together with Yinqiao and Qingju.

Being able to start working, which would accumulate virtue and blessings, Fan Jinglan gladly accepted the offer. After having a delicious breakfast, she started working with the others.
