Yipin Farmer's Wife

Chapter 17 Cucumber Salad
"I don't want to be a chef. I'm here for your silver reward. It doesn't mean that if you cook a dish that can make your young master eat three bites, you will be rewarded with one penny, and if you eat more than six bites, you will be rewarded with silver." One tael, after eating a plate, will you be rewarded with ten taels of silver?" Han Chulan asked.

The waiter nodded, "Yes, but sister-in-law, you are a woman."

"What's the matter with women? Can't women cook? When you come home, isn't your wife cooking, cooking? Or do you do it yourself? Then you are very good, and you will love your wife." Han Chulan retorted The words of the shop assistant.

The waiter in the shop blushed because of her refutation, and said, "Little sister-in-law, I'm not married yet."

"You really want to try?"

A faint, but pleasant voice suddenly came from the top of Han Chulan's head. She raised her eyes, and saw that Mr. Yang who was sitting was standing in front of her at some point, with a pair of deep eyes. Unscrupulous, and infinite irony fell on her.

Han Chulan didn't like his sarcastic eyes very much, but she still nodded firmly and replied, "I want to try."

"Can you cook?" Young Master Yang asked again lightly, his eyes were still unscrupulous, but the irony in his eyes was a little less, but a little bit of interest was added.

I have been sitting in my own restaurant for many days, but I have not been able to meet anyone with excellent cooking skills. The dishes made by those who came to take the test are not even able to make him eat a second bite. How can I become the cook of Jin Yutang? Jin Yuchang's business is very good at ordinary times, it is because of the chef's good craftsmanship, no matter what the dishes are, he can satisfy the customers.If it wasn't for the fact that two chefs were going to be transferred to the branch, why would he have to go to such lengths to hire a new chef.

Qingshui County is neither big nor small, with well-developed four-way communication, many merchants, and many folk talents, but this time he personally hired a cook in the town, and he couldn't find any talents. He was a little frustrated, and extremely bored.

Suddenly bumped into a young daughter-in-law from the countryside, who dared to challenge his harsh conditions. Of course, his conditions were very attractive on the surface. Only his people know how harsh such conditions are.Mr. Yang wanted to tease Han Chulan to relieve his boredom, because he didn't believe that Han Chulan could cook good dishes.

Because Han Chulan was too young.

"meeting."

Han Chulan replied calmly.

Li Shi kept tugging at the hem of her clothes.

Han Chulan looked at her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Li hurriedly pulled her aside and persuaded her in a low voice: "Lan'er, don't try it, the food you cook is delicious, but Mr. Yang, it is said that his mouth is very tricky. , as you have seen, the table is full of dishes made by others, we are all drooling looking at it, but Mr. Yang is indifferent, which shows that he is not easy to deal with."

"Mom, I just want to give it a try. No matter how tricky his mouth is, as long as he is still human and eats whole grains, I believe there will always be some dishes that he will eat." Han Chulan is not afraid of blows and insists on trying For a moment, it should be said that she insisted on earning the ten taels of silver.

"Mother, just watch here, don't worry about the rest." Han Chulan appeased Mrs. Yang, then walked back to Mr. Yang, raised her chin, and looked at Mr. Yang unscrupulously and interestedly with her dark eyes. With deep eyes, he heard what Han Chulan said to Mrs. Li just now.He didn't expect that this little daughter-in-law who came from the countryside was so confident, as if she would be able to cook a dish that he could eat all of it. "Mr. Yang, can you let me try it? I don't want to be a chef. I know how much I have. I don't have that ability to be your chef. Yes, so please let me try."

Hearing Han Chulan say that she is not capable of being Jin Yutang's chef, Mr. Yang's sarcasm that had disappeared from his eyes showed again. He thought she was capable, but it turned out to be unexpected.But since she dared to come for reward silver, he also wanted to see what delicious dishes she could cook, and could he have a bite?So Mr. Yang looked at Han Chulan indifferently, the playfulness in his eyes did not restrain at all, he gently moved his lips, and said nice words: "Okay, I'll let you try it, if the dish you cook If you can let me eat one bite, I will reward you with a penny of silver. If you can let me eat three bites, I will reward you with five taels of silver. If you can let me eat the whole plate, I will reward you with 20 taels of silver. silver."

Hearing this, Han Chulan's eyes lit up, her eyes were already very beautiful, when they shined, they were like two shining diamonds, radiant and dazzling.Mr. Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that it was funny that her eyes were shining brightly. She probably wanted to make money.

"You won't go back on your word?"

Han Chulan was not worried about her cooking skills, but worried about Young Master Yang's repentance.

The people watching the fun outside heard the conversation between the two clearly. Everyone was curious whether Han Chulan could win Young Master Yang's reward.

Hearing Han Chulan ask Mr. Yang back, everyone felt that Han Chulan had blind eyes and didn't know Mount Tai. The Yang family was the richest man in Qingshui County, and the family was full of gold and silver. To the Yang family, a mere 20 taels of silver was not even a hair. Calculate.

Mr. Yang laughed out loud, closed his fan, and ordered: "Prepare 20 taels of silver and put them on the table, so that this little sister-in-law won't worry about Yang cheating on her."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper responded, and immediately prepared 20 taels of silver and placed them on the table where Mr. Yang was sitting just now.

Han Chulan pulled Li Shi forward, and whispered to Li Shi: "Mother, can you see if these silver taels are real?" She still doesn't know much about ancient money, and she can't tell the truth from the fake.

Mrs. Li replied: "It's true, Mr. Yang won't cheat us, it's just, Lan'er..."

Han Chulan stopped her mother-in-law from going on, since the money is real, then she can go into battle.Turning around, she met Mr. Yang's darker eyes again, and asked lightly and politely, "Can I borrow the kitchen?"

Mr. Yang nodded and motioned for the waiter to take her into the kitchen.

When Han Chulan entered the kitchen, she first went to look for cucumbers. After finding the cucumbers, she checked all the ingredients in the kitchen. Although the ingredients were not complete, they could still be used, so she said to the waiter in the shop: "Brother Xiaoer , please avoid it."

The waiter understandably exited the kitchen.

Outside, Mr. Yang sat back at the table leisurely, waved his fan leisurely, with a vague smile on his lips, as if he was waiting to see Han Chulan's joke.

Mrs. Li was the most nervous, so many people were waiting to see her daughter-in-law's jokes, if Mr. Yang was willing to take a bite, it would be fine, but if Mr. Yang didn't even want to eat a bite, others would laugh at her mother-in-law to death.

Han Chulan was busy in the kitchen by herself. She washed the cucumber, peeled off the skin, and cut it into pieces. She planned to make cucumber salad.She herself likes to eat cold cucumber, which is Sichuan style.Mr. Yang was born wealthy, and his mouth is tricky, because he is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas. Those who come to take the test are all here to be the cooks of Jin Yutang, and the dishes they cook have naturally tried their best. The dishes are It belongs to the category of delicacies from mountains and seas. Mr. Yang is used to eating it, so how can he find it delicious.She made a simple cucumber salad, Mr. Yang, who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, will definitely like it.
