Chapter 267 Peeling the Fish
This calmness and calmness made all the ministers look at her several times, and even some ladies couldn't help nodding in their hearts. Although Guang Enbo was from an ordinary background, his bearing and self-cultivation were unmatched by some matrons. Yes, no wonder it has reached this point.
Jiang Ning finished appeasing the guests on the second floor and hurried downstairs to find Yang Datou and Liu Ye.
Liu Ye had been helping Yang Datou in the kitchen. When he saw Jiang Ning coming over, he took the time to ask, "Mom, what do those distinguished guests say? Are they satisfied with the food we cook?"
Jiang Ning smiled encouragingly, "We are the only ones cooking spicy food in the whole capital. How could we be dissatisfied? Don't talk about this for now. I'll ask you to bring some people over later. You should also choose some people to cook and gradually withdraw." "
After all, she is her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, so why does she spend her whole life working around the stove!
The young couple responded obediently.
It was a busy day until half past midnight when the shopkeeper saw off the last wave of customers and had the door closed.
Everyone was so tired that they didn't even want to move.
Yang Datou felt that those hands were not his own anymore.
“Auntie, do you think you’ll come here if you’re looking for someone to live with?” Yang Datou said with a grimace on his face, tears about to fall from his eyes.
Jiang Ning shook his head regretfully, "There's still half an hour before the curfew, so people won't be able to come."
After saying that, Jiang Ning looked at Shopkeeper Xu, "I'll leave the restaurant's affairs to you for the time being. Clean what needs to be done and wash what needs to be washed. The eldest young master and eldest young lady will come over early tomorrow."
After explaining the matter, Jiang Ning took the two of them back in a carriage.
On the way, she briefly talked about the affairs of Mr. Rui and Ayi.
Yang Datou and Liu Ye were stunned. It took Yang Datou a long time to find his voice.
“Aniang, you said that my eldest uncle is not dead, and you still accept the prince as your godfather? This, this, this, this, this, is incredible!” Yang Datou still couldn’t believe that this was true.
When he first came to Beijing, he passed through Quzhou Prefecture. He made a special trip to visit his grandmother's family. He also knew how difficult it was for them. To put it harshly, his grandmother's family were almost all women's soldiers. Some were old, some were disabled, and some were weak. If it hadn't been for meeting his aunt, this whole family would have been wiped out.
Even though his mother-in-law tried her best to help, the foundation of her grandmother's family was too weak, and it was not enough to have only one son-in-law to support the family. If his uncle had really not died, his grandmother's family would not have had such a hard time.
Liu Ye glared at Yang Datou angrily, "If it's true, that would be a great thing! Apart from anything else, my grandmother would be extremely happy to know that my uncle is not dead! And my aunt's eyes, maybe All can be cured without medicine.”
Jiang Ning loved hearing this, "Yi Zi is right, but we can't be too happy too early. We still have to wait and see what happens. When you go back and see them, be more respectful, talk less and do more. Prince Rui has a weird temper. "
Jiang Ning told the two of them his summary. They thought that Mr. Rui was some kind of scourge, and they were worried all the way. As soon as they got off the carriage, they heard bursts of children's laughter coming from the house.
The three of them walked into the courtyard and into the hall in confusion.
I happened to see Prince Rui and A Yi teasing Yang Lexu.
Yang Lexu laughed happily, and the two of them started teasing each other more and more vigorously. The laughter could not even close the door of their home.
Jiang Ning stepped forward funny and saluted Mr. Rui, "Are you used to living here?"
Old Prince Rui gave Yang Lexu to Ayi and sat down carelessly, "The old man has even slept in a ruined temple in the wilderness, what's wrong with living there! But your cook's skills are not good at all, and the food she cooks is not delicious at all. !”
Mr. Rui made no secret of his dislike.
Yang Datou paused, turned around and went out, "I'll do it!"
Jiang Ning stopped him, "You stay with the guests, I'll do it." Prince Rui looked suspicious, "Can your cooking skills be as good as your cook's?"
Jiang Ning didn't explain, went straight to the kitchen, and quickly prepared a table of dishes for them.
Mr. Rui was stunned and exclaimed: "I didn't expect it! You can really cook!"
He quickly took a sip of the boiled fish, his eyes flashing with surprise, "Not bad, not bad! It tastes better than your son's! It seems that your son's cooking skills were learned from you."
"Your Majesty is very complimentary, eat it while it's hot." Jiang Ning asked them to sit down very naturally, and placed a plate of fried dried fish in front of A Yi, and said slowly: "When I was young, my family was poor, and the people on the river had little to eat. Most of them are fish and shrimp. The big fish are kept and sold for money. If the small fish cannot be sold, they can only be kept for self-eating. What should I do if the fish cannot be kept in the hot weather? The only option is to hang them to dry.
The dried fish was as hard as a stone, with not much meat and thorns. I was so annoyed that I would get into trouble every time I ate it. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much food at home, so I had to eat it even if I didn’t eat it. At this time, my eldest brother would He would carefully help me pick out the meat, and he would keep the fish heads and remaining fish bones for himself.
This is the capital, and you can't buy any dried fish in the winter. You can only bake two of them yourself. They barely taste the same. They are fried, very fragrant, and they are still meat. Try them. "
Ah Yi looked at Old Prince Rui blankly, waiting for him to express his stance.
Mr. Rui didn't react much. He only glanced at him and continued to eat happily, "We are guests. You can eat as long as you are told. There is no need to be polite to her!"
Jiang Ning smiled and encouraged Ah Yi to take down her chopsticks.
Liu Ye and Yang Datou kept company by the side, silently daring not to make a sound.
On the contrary, Yang Lexu, the kid, staggered to A Yi's side and kept trying to give him the chicken drumstick in his hand.
Liu Ye had a big head and wanted to stop him, but A Yi actually took it. Seeing that the child was happy, he started eating in cooperation.
Liu Ye quickly winked at her son.
Yang Lexu is also a good person and wants to catch that plate of fish right now.
Ah Yi took the child into her arms very naturally and skinned the fish for him.
The action of peeling the fish instantly made Jiang Ning's eyes turn red.
Liu Ye was a little worried, "A-niang."
Jiang Ning picked up the bowl and chopsticks to cover up, "Let's eat."
Early the next morning.
According to Jiang Ning's instructions, Renyaozi brought a bunch of slaves to her house to choose from.
"Uncle, people here are good at cooking. The ones on the left are all cooks from wealthy families. They were betrayed because the master's family committed crimes. Nowadays, most people buy maids and servants at a younger age. People dislike them. When I'm older, I don't want it, so I keep it.
In fact, these few are not very old, the oldest is only thirty-five, and the youngest is twenty-eight. After all, they have served in wealthy families before, so they still know a lot of specialty dishes. "
Renyazi sells hard.
Jiang Ning's expression didn't change much. The more he talked, the more unsure he became. He quickly ran to the other side and pointed at the male slaves, "These can also cook stoves. They used to work in the kitchen." , even the young ones don’t know how good their craftsmanship is.”
Renyaozi couldn't figure out Jiang Ning's temper and felt a little guilty.
After Jiang Ning and others finished speaking, Yazi stood up and said unhurriedly: "Spread your hands and show me."
