Chapter 45 Fun

  Even the name of the family's traditional wine house is no longer wanted, what's the point of changing it again.

  The shopkeeper's busy voice is.

  "...and Grandfather Gan also said that he will come to support us, and our Doudou family will become a famous restaurant in the capital." Seventh Master Dou said with a smile.

  The shop assistant's inquiry outside the door interrupted his laughter.

  "What's wrong?" asked Du Qiye unhappily.

  The fellow came in timidly and told what had happened.

  "Perhaps it's because we suspect that the meat you used is not fresh..." said the shopkeeper in a low voice.

  Dong Qiye's eyes widened in anger.

  "Have you been using spoiled meat lately?" he asked in a low voice.

  "The dosage was too large and we couldn't supply it in time, so I used a bit less." The shopkeeper said with a hint of embarrassment, "However, even if you did use it, the taste wouldn't come out..."

  Dong Qiye glared at him.

  "Be careful, don't mess things up," he said.

  The shopkeeper repeatedly claimed it was true.

  "Are you still going to let him go?" the fellow asked.

  "Go, she let go, we'll go, as for what to say after going, isn't that up to us?" said Dou Qiye with a careless smile.

  The fellow was taken aback.

  "Yes, yes, Seventh Young Master is wise." He praised repeatedly.

  Being praised by a young man is nothing to be proud of.

  "Get out of here, you little scamp!" Di Qiye cursed with a smile.

  The silly boy who had rolled down quickly called the cook, bringing meat and a knife to come to Cheng Jiaoniang.

  The kitchen was very unhappy and went in hastily after a brief courtesy.

  "My dear daughter, this is all fresh rabbit meat, I just cut it in the back." He said with a puffed cheek, while pushing over a whole rabbit, "Take a look, it's fresh."

  It was for this reason, and indeed it's a picky eater's fault.

  Shūroku who had been standing outside the door watching, withdrew his gaze and turned around.

  The shop assistant let out a cry of surprise, and Zhou Liu Lang looked over again, also stunned.

  What is this woman going to do again?

  "Girl, you can't play with this!" The cook shouted in fright, staring at the little girl who had picked up a knife and rabbit meat.

  Jiang Yao glanced at him.

  "Look," she said, "I'll only do it once."

  What are you looking at?

  Apart from the maid, the other three did not understand.

  Jiangniang's hand rose and fell with her knife.

  The fellow and the cook both let out a cry.

  "Daughter..." The fellow was somewhat at a loss and wanted to dissuade her, but the cook suddenly fell silent.

  Zhou Lang thought of something and his complexion changed slightly, involuntarily taking a step forward.

  As Jiang Ya's movements continued, the rabbit meat slices piled up in the plate, each one different from the next, forming a stark contrast with the messy heap of rabbit meat on the adjacent plate.

  "Good... craftsmanship." The cook muttered to himself, seemingly thinking of something yet not quite understanding, looked up at Cheng Jiaoniang, his fat body gradually trembling.

  Could it be...

  "What?" asked Di Qiye, who was holding a small wine jug, as he suddenly sat up in surprise.

  "Yes, yes, that woman didn't ask anything, she just took the knife and sliced the rabbit meat," said the fellow.

  "What does this mean?" Dou Qiye was puzzled and laughed again, "Has a foodie who likes to cook by himself arrived? Then why bother going to a restaurant?"

  The shopkeeper stood by, deep in thought, and suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

  "Is it a girl?" he shouted.

  The fellow was startled by him.

  "Yes." He nodded repeatedly and added, "Also with a maid, traveling together..."

  The fellow hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by a slap on the back from the shopkeeper.

  "Ah, isn't that the young lady coming!" he shouted, turning around and running out.

  He didn't even bother to apologize to Dou Qiye, and both his partner and Dou Qiye were shocked.

  Who's the girl that came?

  When the shopkeeper came over, Jiangniang had already started adjusting the sauce.

  Inside the house, no one spoke, there was only the sound of the soup boiling in the charcoal stove.

  Soy sauce, salt, sauce, vinegar, and fragrant oil were scooped out in different proportions by Cheng Jiaoniang and mixed together. Cheng Jiaoniang stopped her hands and swept her eyes over the front.

  "Lacking, sesame," she said.

  The kitchen child stared at Chou Jiuniang's every move without blinking, and upon hearing this, she was suddenly awakened as if struck by lightning.

  "Sesame, sesame!" he shouted in a trembling voice, "Quickly go get some sesame."

  It wasn't until then that he realized his companion was no longer in the house. After a moment of stunned silence, someone shouted from outside the door.

  "Quickly go get it!" The shopkeeper kicked his foot on the young apprentice's body.

  The young fellow rolled and crawled away.

  The shopkeeper came in, shaking his clothes, knelt down and kowtowed.

  "I've seen your wife." he said with a trembling voice.

  Dong Qiye also came over and was a bit confused by what he saw.

  Acquaintance?

  "Seventh Master, this is the passing immortal." The shopkeeper turned around and introduced him.

  The name "Overlord God" was still coined by Dou Qi, because he heard the boss say that the person who ate this flavor was a passerby, of course, calling him a passerby was too vulgar, and with a flash of inspiration, he thought of such a great and atmospheric name.

  That passerby was a woman, Dugu Qiye naturally also knew, it's just that he didn't expect to see the real person so soon.

  What brings you here? Do you want money?

  Dong Qiye's expression was strange for a moment, but he quickly covered it up and knelt down to pay his respects.

  "It's actually a fairy maiden." He piled up a smile and said, his expression excited, "I've been searching for it everywhere but couldn't find it, thank you so much for visiting again, miss."

  These two people's conversation, Jingniang didn't pay attention to it. At this time, the shop assistant also brought over some sesame seeds, and the maid took them from him.

  Jiangniang pinched a bit with her hand and sprinkled it into the bowl.

  The kitchen was now still, his body trembling more and more, his eyes darting about in a state of panic.

  "Look," said Cheng Jiaoniang.

  This sudden sound made the cook concentrate.

  "I'll only do it once," said Chong Jiuniang again.

  At this point, the kitchen finally thoroughly understood, and with a cry of "ah", he didn't even bother to speak before directly kowtowing.

  "Thank you, miss, thank you for your guidance, thank you for your guidance." He said repeatedly.

  The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.

  Dong Qiye naturally understood, his eyes flashing with surprise, but immediately relaxed, he beckoned to the attendant beside him, who leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, then turned and left.

  Their minds changed, but Cheng Jiuniang still didn't notice, put down the adjusted sauce, and picked up chopsticks.

  The girl on the other side had already cut a handful of green vegetables and put them in the pot. After boiling for several rolls, she picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in the pot first.

  Jiang Niang also did so, and the two master-servant pair began to savor their food slowly under the steaming hot air and the gaze of several people.

  Jiang Niang is picky about food, but once she eats, she won't waste it.

  Until sunset, after finishing the last piece of meat dish, the master and servant put down their chopsticks, then saw three people staring at them with wide eyes in the house.

  "Oh, I forgot to say." Jingniang thought of something and said, "I'll eat, then I won't have to watch anymore."

  What's wrong with you, why didn't you say so earlier...

  The shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief, and Duan Qiye also breathed a sigh of relief. The two men couldn't help but rub their sore eyes.

  The kitchen again excitedly knocked his head in thanks.

  What I saw that day was the residual pot bottom. If it was made but never seen before, today I saw it and knew it was greatly different from my own speculation, and even more exquisite. How to cut the meat, when to put in the vegetables, just a single sesame seed in the sauce can decide the life and death of a dish.

  "Thank you for your guidance, thank you for your guidance." He repeated this phrase over and over again, "I understand, I understand."

  "Understood? Then get out of here and study! Don't disappoint your mother's good intentions!" shouted Tou Qigye.

  The cook hastily kowtowed and backed out.

  The shopkeeper personally led the apprentices to collect the dishes and personally served tea.

  When people retreat, they should close the door, but looking at Saturday Lang still standing by the door, the partner hesitated.

  Zhou Lang stepped in and sat down beside Cheng Jiaoniang, but did not take the main seat.

  Dong Qi and Zhang Gui exchanged a secret glance, waved their hands, and the door was pulled shut.

  "Miss, this is our master." The shopkeeper introduced.

  Dongfang Bubai pays his respects.

  "There was a certain Wu Qi, who had seen his wife," he said.

  Jiang Nang looked at him and returned half a courtesy without saying a word.

  "Niangzi is so clever, who would have thought of such a way to eat? This small shop is truly blessed. Dugu Qi smiled and handed over a small box that had just been brought by his followers."

  "A small token of my feelings, I hope you won't despise it," he said.

  Jiang Yao only glanced at her and handed the teacup in her hand to the maid, who took it and brought back a new cup of white water. During this exchange, neither the master nor the servant spoke a word.

  "Also, this divine residence of mine, in the future, you can come and go as you please, just like it's your own shop. Don't be polite at all." Dugu Qi smiled and turned to look at the shopkeeper, "Remember that, tell the staff, keep a sharp eye out, same with the new shop over there."

  Jiang Nang raised her head and looked at him.

  "New store?" she asked.

  Dong Qi's eyes flickered.

  "Yes, Secretary Liu has said many times that our shop is too far outside the city and it's really inconvenient to eat there. Coincidentally, a suitable restaurant was being transferred, so I bought it. Our Xianjian House will be moving into the city." He smiled, "As you are from the capital, this will be more convenient for you."

  He spoke as if unintentionally sweeping his eyes over Zhou Liulang beside him, with a hint of hidden pride.

  Just now, the attendants have looked over and whispered that the young man and woman's carriage is the one belonging to General Zhou of the capital's Gui De Hall.

  A low-ranking military officer is nothing in the capital, let alone in front of the Secretariat's Director. It's not even worth mentioning.

  "No need, the fun lies in doing it myself," said Cheng Jiaoniang, straightening her back.

  Is this going to get up?

  Hasn't the conversation started yet?

  Dong Qi and Zhang Gui were stunned for a moment, and indeed saw the maid supporting Cheng Jiaoniang to stand up.

  "Girl." Du Qi also quickly stood up, pointing at the box on the ground, "Is this not enough?"

  He said with a smile and waved his hand.

  "Come on in, take another..." he called out.

  "It's not for sale." Jingniang interrupted him, "This is not something I made to eat, it's also something I learned, how can I exchange it for money?"

  Dong Qi was taken aback for a moment.

  "This isn't about the money, it's about the thought, the thought. So please, madam, pass on the thought." He said with a smile, filled with sincerity, "Moreover, you just taught us how to do it yourself."

  "To say it's suitable for her talent, it's not even about the money." said Cheng Jiaoniang.

  Dong Qi and Zhang Gui were both stunned for a moment.

  "What's that? Why?" the shopkeeper asked abruptly.

  Jiang Yao's gaze fell on the empty dishes and chopsticks, and she shook her head.

  "What you've done is really terrible." she said.
