Looking at Xia Xiaoran's skillful selection of vegetables and bargaining, Wang Mingyuan is very pleased to have such a clever apprentice, but he still can't help but remind Xia Xiaoran that "this time, it's Mr. Li Wai."
Xia Xiaoran put down the celery in his hand and looked at Wang Mingyuan with wide eyes. He didn't know why.
"He's a famous glutton in the town." Wang Mingyuan sighed deeply, "he will eat every restaurant he likes, and then belittle it. It's said that there are more than 20 chefs in the Li family, and there are even Royal chefs retired from the palace. "
It's also said that Wang Lu eats Manchu and Han banquet every day. Xia Xiaoran raised his head and said with a smile, "thank you for your concern. I will do my best for this banquet."
Xia Xiaoran's fighting spirit makes Wang Mingyuan very satisfied, and reminds him of the precautions in cooking. Xia Xiaoran knows what Wang Mingyuan says, and even some things are better than Wang Mingyuan's, but Xia Xiaoran is still clever enough to say yes.
After buying the ingredients, there is a busy processing work. The vegetables are processed on the same day, but the chicken, duck and fish need to be pickled with seasoning.
In the process of learning Hubei cuisine, Xia Xiaoran grew up very fast. For example, she didn't dare to kill fish and chicken with a knife before, but now she is still in the face of blood everywhere.
Xia Xiaoran chopped off the head of the fish and spattered blood on Wang Zhiwu's face.
"Hello, you woman." Wang Zhiwu hurriedly took his sleeve to wipe it. The smell of blood made him sick“ How can it be so violent? "
With a kitchen knife, Xia Xiaoran chopped the whole fish to pieces. Without raising his head, he laughed at Wang Zhiwu. "I should have asked the second young master why he came to me."
No one will be in a good mood after a busy day. Xia Xiaoran looks at Wang Zhiwu on one side and makes a voice of disgust with his nose. If he doesn't come to help, he still occupies such a large space.
"You let me." Xia Xiaoran pushes Wang Zhiwu away and pours the chopped fish into the jar.
"Tut." Wang Zhiwu is the more he looks at Xia Xiaoran, the more disgusting he is. He always keeps his status low, but he looks down on him more than anyone else. Squinting, Wang Zhiwu came forward and asked, "what's this for? I haven't seen your way of doing it before."
"The young master will know what it is. As for what I have not done before." Xia Xiaoran turned his head, eyes burning, "young master since childhood Royal jade food to open mouth, when know how hard this food to do."
Wang Zhiwu had a meal, "who said I didn't cook a meal? When no one gave me food, I burned something on the fire myself. I didn't see you in such trouble."
Looking at Wang Zhiwu strangely, his unconcerned expression doesn't seem to care much about his original things. Xia Xiaoran pretends to be confused, bows his head and concentrates on dealing with the things in his hand.
The orange sunset set in the yard, rendering the color of the ground. With the shift of light and shadow on the ground, it's time for dinner.
After a while of confusion, he finally put all the eight hot dishes and four cold dishes on the table and handed the last lotus root and ribs soup to the maid. Xia Xiaoran took a long breath. It's over. Although the twelve dishes on the table are not many, they are all exquisite. Xia Xiaoran spent a lot of time on each dish. The complexity of the steps made Wang Mingyuan tired of them.
"Bai Xiang, let's have a rest." Wang Mingyuan pulled a chair and put it next to Xia Xiaoran. Xia Xiaoran, who had been busy for two hours, couldn't hold on and didn't shirk and sit down. He said to Wang Mingyuan, "master, please sit down for a while."
"Don't sit down yet." A sudden voice came from the outside. Xia Xiaoran browed for a week. Just as he wanted to scold Wang Zhiwu for his insanity, he was pulled up from his chair by Wang Zhiwu and walked out.
Xia Xiaoran found that the matter was serious, "what happened?"
"There's something wrong with your cooking." Wang Zhiwu's brow can kill a fly.
Out of the pot of dishes are their own taste, Xia Xiaoran look dignified up, "what's the matter?"
Wang Zhiwu took a worried look at Xia Xiaoran and said with difficulty, "the lotus root and spare ribs soup you made has started to cause stomachache."
Cut. Xia Xiaoran suddenly relaxed, Wang Zhiwu with a pot bottom face to find himself, Xia Xiaoran thought he poisoned people, unexpectedly just upset the stomach.
Xia Xiaoran's indifferent expression fell in Wang Zhiwu's eyes, which made him feel very bad. He worried about her heart and lung for so long, but she looked leisurely and leisurely. "Do you know you've caused a big disaster?"
Young man, you don't know much. Xia Xiaoran blinked his big eyes and asked: "Why are you so worried? Those distinguished guests won't lose their lives because of diarrhea, and it's no use worrying about it, or is the second young master happy with me and planning to let me live? "
The cool moonlight falls on Xia Xiaoran's small white face, which makes her big black eyes more cunning.
Wang Zhiwu said, "I've thought about this method, but your parents live not far from the Wang family. I know you certainly don't want to leave your parents to run away, but your father's temper won't let you go easily."
I didn't expect that Wang Zhiwu really admitted his favor for Xia Xiaoran so readily, which surprised Xia Xiaoran a little. It took a long time to respond, "Baixiang, thank you for your care. The most urgent thing is not to run away, but to find the murderer who framed me."
Xia Xiaoran had tasted all the dishes before they came out of the pot. For half an hour, Xia Xiaoran had nothing to do with them. It can be seen that the murderer who took the medicine was in the process of passing the dishes. As soon as his eyes turned, Xia Xiaoran said to Wang Zhiwu, "you said to the master that Baixiang fled with fear of crime."“ That's it Wang Zhiwu frowned more tightly. He thought Xia Xiaoran would come up with a good idea. Unexpectedly, it was such a bad idea“ That's it Xia Xiaoran said with confidence: "I have a way to let the master find out the murderer himself." In the lobby, Wang Lu's face was blue with anger. The food on the table has been cleaned up by the servant girl, and several guests have been taken medicine by the doctor of the Wang family. They stop the impulse to go to the toilet and groan on the table one by one. Wang Zhiwen is the most difficult. He not only has to take care of an old fox with a table full of pain, but also coaxes his father, who is about to die of anger“ Father, this is definitely not Bai Xiang's work. " Wang Zhiwen and Wang Lu have six similar faces full of pleading, "I know her, definitely not her."“ I understand. " Wang Lu took a hard breath with his nose, "you nerd don't even know your father. Can you understand a girl who has been with you for less than two months?" As for his eldest son, Wang Lu hoped that he would go on his official career. Unexpectedly, the more books he read, the more pedantic he became. He could not get out of poetry when he was young. Now he is easily fascinated by a country woman. Thinking of this, Wang Lu, who didn't take laxatives, felt a burst of abdominal pain and dizziness. Just when Wang Lu was helpless and Wang Zhiwen was full of anxiety, Wang Zhiwu, who rushed to find Luo Baixiang, came back. Wang Zhiwu, with a gloomy face, strides into the lobby. Ignoring the chaotic scenes all over the room, he goes straight to Wang Lu and says anxiously in a low voice: "Luo Baixiang doesn't know where he got the news, and has fled with fear of guilt."
