Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chen Afu quickly put down what he was holding, and together with Mrs. Wang, called Aunt Mu and Aunt Zeng to the kitchen. At this time, there is still more than half an hour before Youshi, so it is impossible to make anything too complicated and time-consuming. We can only stir-fry a few homemade side dishes, mix a few cold dishes, and make some braised food.

Cook and stir-fry first, and while they are eating, make golden silk cakes.

Chen Afu thought for a while and decided on a recipe. Braised rabbit, braised pork liver, braised pork ribs, braised dried beans, cold shredded pork belly, cold fungus, garlic kelp shreds, sugar-flavored peanuts, stir-fried twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, golden shrimp balls, lamb wrapped in onions, roasted beef with radish, stir-fried double mushrooms , bear paw tofu, braised chicken. There are four braised dishes, four cool ones, six hot ones and one soup.

After the order was settled, a few people started working.

Aunt Zeng lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes. If it were true, she would definitely feel that except for the golden shrimp balls, these dishes were all ordinary and that even the cooks in Tangyuan could make them more complicated than these. I don’t know why the masters don’t stay in Tangyuan to eat, but they must come to Luyuan to eat.

After eating hot pot that day, I realized that the craftsmanship of a young girl has reached this level. In addition, in the past few days, although the fried dishes are the most ordinary dishes, the taste is good. Yesterday, Sister-in-law Mu had something to do, so she went to the stove and cooked a few dishes. Oh my God, I didn’t expect that her cooking skills had improved so quickly. The dishes were actually much more delicious than the ones she cooked before...

Mrs. Wei also went into the kitchen to help light the fire. While she was working, she told Chen Afu about the legendary life of Master Chu Guangkai and Chu San. According to her, Mr. Chu San went to the border at the age of fifteen and came back this year at the age of thirty-five. It had been twenty years and he had made countless military exploits. Eight years ago, when he was just twenty-seven years old, he was granted the title of Jinbo of the West. In the same year, he became the chief soldier of Yucheng, making him the youngest chief soldier of the Dashun Dynasty. He is the old Marquis' favorite son, Uncle Chu's favorite uncle, and the pride of the Chu family.

Although the border has been very stable in recent years, the Holy Spirit's original intention is to hope that Mr. Chu San will continue to guard the border in Yucheng City. But the old Marquis told him several times that he was getting old, and Pan'er was eager and even cried before he cried back to Master Chu San.

Judging from Wei's expression, she admired Mr. Chu San very much.

"Our Yongning Marquis Mansion has produced the best of the three Dashun dynasties. The first one is the deceased old Marquis. He was granted the title of Marquis at the age of twenty-two and is the youngest Marquis. The third master of my family is twenty-seven. When he became the commander-in-chief at the age of 22, he is the youngest commander-in-chief. My eldest son became a military commander at the age of twenty-two, and he is the youngest person to be a third-rank officer." Wei said very proudly.

"Aren't you afraid of ruining Mr. Chu's future by crying Mr. Chu San back?" Chen Afu asked casually.

"Hey, the old Marquis couldn't help it. He asked the Third Master to come back. Not only did he miss him, but he also asked him and the Third Lady to come back to help look after the Marquis' Mansion..." Mrs. Wei, perhaps feeling that she had said too much, quickly closed her mouth. Mouthed.

Aunt Zeng was stunned and asked, "When the third master and the third wife return to Beijing, why don't they stay at the uncle's house in the west?"

Wei shook her head and said, "No, the old Marquis asked their family to live in the Hou Mansion. He said that the third master had been outside since he was a child and rarely showed respect to him. He asked the third master to live in the Hou Mansion for a few years and show more respect to him. .”

Aunt Zeng laughed and whispered, "It would be great if the third lady returned to the Marquis Mansion. If the Marquis Mansion is controlled by her again..." Aunt Zeng made a two-character sign with her fingers and continued, "If the Marquis Mansion is controlled by her, in the future If it's left in the hands of Uncle Chu, it won't be nothing."

Wei smiled and said, "That's why the old Marquis called them back. The third lady is powerful, and her mother's family is powerful. It turns out that she has a good relationship with...my master, and she is not afraid of...that person. With her in charge, the second wife The madam couldn't get up. From now on, the affairs of the inner courtyard will be taken care of by the third lady, and the affairs of the outer courtyard and the house will be looked after by the third master. The old marquis has more free time, so he can come to Tangyuan to stay more. "

Chen Afu was confused when he heard this, but he didn't ask any further questions. It's not that she doesn't gossip, in fact she is full of curiosity about many things. She just felt that the Marquis Mansion was none of her business, and she didn't like distant terms such as inner courtyard, back house, and house fight, so she wasn't interested in anything else except for the heroic Mr. Chu San.

The dishes were almost ready, so Chen Afu went to the living room and asked someone to lift the Eight Immortals table to the middle and take out the set of yellow-glazed green-colored fine porcelain tableware. This was given by Tangyuan as a New Year gift, and it came in handy.

He also took a jar of blue and white flowers and brewed it. After thinking about it, I heard that military commanders are very good at drinking, so I took out another jar of blue and white wine.

Chen Ming kept circling around the room nervously, even the muscles on his face were shaking. Seeing that the dishes and chopsticks were all placed on the table, I became even more frightened.

He said to Chen Afu, "Afu, dad is scared. When he saw Mr. Chu before, he was so scared that he couldn't eat. Now he wants to see the old marquis, and he is even more scared. I heard that those nobles are going to beat him up if they are unhappy. It’s human. I’m afraid that if I say the wrong thing, I’ll hurt you.”

Chen Afu advised, "Old Marquis is not a lunatic, so why would he hit people without hesitation? Looking at Mr. Chu's character, his grandfather and uncle should not be so domineering."

He secretly thought that if he knew that Mr. Chu San was an uncle, the commander-in-chief, and a general who had made the enemy fearful, he would be even more afraid.

Dabao on the side also said, "Grandpa, don't be afraid. Grandpa Chu is very good and won't lose his temper at will."

Chen Ming added, "I won't go to the table to eat with them this time. Let the three of them eat by themselves, okay?"

Chen Afu said, "Then let them eat by themselves. Anyway, they are not our guests, they came by themselves."

It was almost time for you, and with trembling legs, Chen Ming led Alu and Dabao to the door to greet them. He also told them from time to time not to talk too much, as talking too much would lead to mistakes.

Chen Afu led Zeng Xiaoqing to place braised meat and cold dishes on the table first.

Suddenly, I heard a noise outside the hospital. Then, I heard Chen Ming say in a trembling voice, "The common people have seen the old Marquis and the two adults." He was out of breath and obviously very frightened.

Then I heard the voices of Dabao and Alu, "I have met the old Marquis and the two adults."

Dabao's voice was loud, but he was not frightened at all.

An old man's voice came, "Please wake up quickly, we shamelessly took the initiative to come to your house for dinner, no need to be polite."

Chu Lingxuan's voice came, "Uncle Chen, please don't be so polite. We are all acquaintances and we have to interact with each other frequently. Too much courtesy is not beautiful."

It should have been said with a smile, not as cold as before. However, the call of "Uncle Chen" not only frightened Chen Ming, but also frightened several people in the kitchen. Wei's eyes glanced at Chen Afu again.

Then a strange and cheerful male voice came, "Hahaha, I heard from Xuan'er that your food is very delicious. No, before I returned to Beijing, I even shamelessly kicked in the door to taste it."
