Xu Qizhen took ten minutes to help Yanzi clear an account.
Yan Ziqing personally made tea and poured a cup for her: "you can't do it if you're not convinced. You have to come to do accounting."
Xu Qizhen said, "in the past, ladies of large families needed to learn this, because they had to take care of their accounts when they got married. They had to be able to take care of their dowry, not to mention anything else.
You may not want to do business, but you know it well, and the servants dare not fool you. My mother taught me this since I was a child. It's annoying to think of it. "
She sipped her tea gently, and Mingxiang passed through her throat. It was fragrant and warm, which shocked people's spirit.
Yan Ziqing also drank: "where's your eldest sister? Do you want to learn together?"
"She doesn't learn from my mother, but from my grandfather and father. They have cultivated her since childhood. Now the family business depends on her. She is different from us. We are ordinary people and she is a big man." Xu Qizhen said.
Yan Ziqing laughed.
He also asked Xu Qizhen, "do you still have a dowry?"
"Yes." Xu Qizhen said, "my parents are afraid that I can't manage well. They give me cash and it's all in the bank."
Yan Ziqing said, "how many?"
Xu Qizhen said a number.
This number is not small. Ordinary people will be shocked when they hear it, but the Yan Family deals with arms. Yan Ziqing has more money in and out of his hand than that.
"You can buy the shop." Yan Ziqing said, "then why do you rent it?"
"I don't intend to buy a home. If I want to leave Singapore in the future, I can go with my deposit form. With a shop, I have to turn around and sell it. Is it troublesome?" Xu Qizhen said.
Yan Ziqing said with a smile, "you've been thinking about it for a long time."
After drinking tea, Xu Qizhen got up and said goodbye.
Yan Ziqing took the account to his father. By the way, Xu Qizhen helped do it.
He also happened to say Xu Qizhen's new plan.
"As I said, she has freedom. Whatever she wants to do, it's up to her." Yan Ziqing said.
Old Yan pondered: "but she is the hostess of the Yan family. Any business at home is bigger than the restaurant. I thought she could help you."
"This also goes with fate. She'll be happy." Yan Ziqing said.
At first, he didn't want to marry Xu Qizhen until she committed suicide.
At that time, Yan Ziqing thought that he could save her life. Since he made her pregnant by mistake, he was obliged to save her.
Xu's parents are very kind to their children, but they pay too much attention to their status.
If Xu Pei had not been killed in that year, it is estimated that he would commit suicide soon. Like Xu Qizhen, he was cornered by the family.
Since he was going to save her, he didn't want to ask for it.
What Xu Qizhen needs most is to abandon all secular eyes and find a reason to live again.
"It's your couple's business. You decide for yourself. She's willing to work harder, so I have nothing to say." Yan Laodao then said, "the Japanese woman, is she still in Singapore?"
"Still there." Yan Ziqing said.
"Send her away, or I'll be rude." Yan Laodao.
Yan Ziqing said, "I don't want to make friends with her. Once I make friends with her, I need to communicate more with her. She is very demagogic. Wait for her to go."
Yan Lao looked at his son.
At this moment, Yan Lao understood Yan Ziqing's mind - he still had feelings for Yamamoto Jing.
At the beginning, Yan Ziqing was only 19 years old, which was the beginning of his love affair. The feelings he and Yamamoto cultivated in the dark environment were so strong and profound.
This can not be broken in one sentence.
Yan Lao felt that saying more would be counterproductive, so he said, "you can do it yourself."
Absent-minded father, absent-minded.
In the evening, he left Xu Qizhen in the master bedroom.
In the dark, he rubbed Xu Qizhen's face many times, as if he was afraid of mistaking her.
Xu Qizhen kept silent until she suddenly said, "do you still think of that woman?"
Yan Ziqing's hand.
He sat up and turned on the light.
Seeing that he really didn't know how to answer, Xu Qizhen got out of bed and dressed: "I went back to the small West building to sleep. Good night."
Yan Ziqing didn't keep her.
He lit the cigarette silently and smoked three in a row. When he was a little thirsty, he got up and poured water. His memory was slowly broken, pulling him back to reality.
Xu Qizhen returned to the small West Building and had a little insomnia.
In fact, she can understand Yan Ziqing's mood very well. After she separated from Gu Shao, she also had that mood. In that mood, people can't listen to any comfort. They can only come out slowly after their own pain.
Xu Qizhen suddenly felt that she and Yan Ziqing were both companions and comrades in arms.
She didn't blame him, and even sympathized with him.
The next day, she got up early, went to the morning market, bought all the ducks and spices she wanted to buy, and then went to have breakfast.
Even chefs sometimes like to eat things made by others.
Xu Qizhen arrived at the shop on time at ten o'clock as agreed.
President Chen and his father have arrived, and Chen Shengji is beside them.
After a greeting, President Chen specially greeted father-in-law Xu Qizhen's body.
"... my grandfather used to be a royal chef. He should be qualified to judge the pros and cons." Chen Shengji said with a smile.
He nodded his head gently as he spoke.
Moreover, Xu Qizhen found that he walked with heavy footsteps, heavier than his grandfather's footsteps, but he didn't feel heavy.
Xu Qizhen looked at Chen Shengji.
Chen Shengji is a very handsome young man with exquisite appearance. At such a glance, he just smiled without any surprise.
"The kitchen here has everything, and there is a oven for baking bread. It should be able to make roast duck?" Chen Shengji asked.
"Let's get together. I'll buy it myself in the future." Xu Qizhen said.
Jinling roast duck is baked in an open oven, and the oven for baking bread is also an open oven. It can really be used.
Jinling roast duck pays attention to its red skin without scorching. It pays attention to its heat and filling. In addition to the roast duck itself, red brine is also very important. Now there are some more ways to eat, that is, adding ingredients.
Xu Qizhen looked at them.
Chen Shengji asked thoughtfully, "Mrs. Yan, do you need us to avoid it?"
"No, I don't pay attention to these when cooking. I can do it under any circumstances." Xu Qizhen said.
Chen Shengji's grandfather remained silent until this moment, when he nodded slightly.
Xu Qizhen boiled water and began to clean up the ducks.
The temperature in the kitchen is getting higher and higher. Chen Shengji also occasionally said a few words with Xu Qizhen. Looking at her constant busy, there is a thin sweat on her forehead.
The ducks cleaned up and Xu Qizhen began to fill the water. She took this step very seriously and grasped the weight of water very well. Open oven roast duck must be watered, otherwise it is easy to be scorched outside and undercooked inside.
"She's very skilled." Chen Shengji's grandfather whispered.
Chen Shengji asked Xu Qizhen, "how long will it take to bake it?"
"It depends on the quality, not a fixed time." Xu Qizhen said. Chen Shengji's grandfather nodded again.
