Rebirth Night Expedition Far River

Because I ate too much at noon, the two of them walked around the market in the afternoon and ate a lot of snacks. They didn't return to the inn until their stomachs were full. As a result, when it was dinner, Xiaoshan could only see two Holding his belly, waiting for the table full of food, frowning.

[What's wrong] Xiao Shan asked in confusion.

"It's so supportive~" Wen Jiang rubbed his belly: "I went shopping with Xiaodiu in the afternoon, and I accidentally ate a lot of snacks, so I can't eat now."

[You two——] Xiao Shan is very angry and funny [But, if you don’t eat now, you will get hungry easily in the middle of the night]

As a result, Xiao Shan was right. In the middle of the night, Wen Jiang woke up from hunger. Turning around, Xiao Diu looked at him with eyes wide open, "Hungry." He pouted, pitifully.

Wen Jiang smiled sheepishly: "Actually, Brother Wen is also hungry. Hehe, Xiaodiu, you wait here. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there are any other materials and make something to eat."

Xiao Diu nodded quickly: "Yes, Xiao Diu is waiting here."

Wen Jiang got up and went downstairs. Suicheng County is a rich place. Tomorrow there will be a goddess welcome dance performance, so many people have flocked to Suicheng County in the past few days, and all the inns in Suicheng County are full. Yes, many inns have people guarding the lobby at twelve hours a day, and the kitchen is also brightly lit. Many guest officials are very powerful, and they often need to have a supper or something.So not only the inn's own staff are busy, but there are also many unfamiliar faces, who should be the entourage brought by those with background.

It just looks a bit troublesome today.

"It's really ink marks! Why do you say that my family is the number one in Suicheng County, and the supper you make is hard to swallow! It's clearly in vain!" A man who looks like a servant is standing in the middle of the kitchen, pointing at the chef and the waiter very arrogantly. scold.

Wen Jiang quietly tugged on the sleeve of a young man hiding by the door: "What happened?"

That guy was the one who recommended dishes to Wen Jiang's group at noon. Seeing that the person inquiring was the gentle and amiable young man, he replied: "This person came in the evening. There are several carriages. Most of them are female relatives and servants." There were also dozens of people, and after they came, some customers were driven away because there were not enough rooms in the store. Everyone was very upset at first, but they also gave compensation money when they let those customers go, so the shopkeeper told us Stay far away and don’t go forward to cause trouble, maybe because of the long distance, one of the women’s family members has a poor appetite, and when they come in the evening, they dislike our food and let them do it themselves. It's fresh, no, I woke up again in the middle of the night to toss around." The waiter pursed his lips and said contemptuously.

Wen Jiang understood, he had fully felt the difficulty of traveling in ancient times when he went out this time, even if the carriage was furnished in a comfortable way, after sitting in it for a few days, his stomach would still be turned upside down, not to mention the delicate female family members who were raised in the backyard.

The shop waiter was about to say something, but saw that the servant not only cursed louder and louder because of dissatisfaction, but also pushed and shoved with the chef, so he couldn't help going forward to persuade him.

"What kind of thing are you, dare to contradict me?! Do you know who our master is! If you were in our house, you slaves would have suffered countless punishments!"

I don't know how many slaps he will get, but you are so arrogant and don't know how to keep a low profile. You will only cause trouble for the master's servant. If I were your master, I would definitely slap you first.Wen Jiang shook his head and cursed.

Unexpectedly, this shaking of the head was pregnant——

"That one over there! What do you mean by shaking your head?! You don't believe what I said? How dare you look down on my master?!"

I'll go, this guy can lie down with a gun, but this guy is too outrageous, he is cursing in his mouth, but his eyes can still notice himself who is far away from the door. The key is that he is very good at brainstorming, and he just shakes his head , can also be associated with the idea of ​​looking down on his master, this guy must have persecution paranoia.

"This, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Wen Jiang had an innocent face.

The boy was obviously flying guns all over the ground now, he didn't ask indiscriminately at all, he caught one and counted one, and sprayed whoever he saw.Wen Jiang was speechless. He couldn't communicate with such a person at all.The best way is to ignore him.

But it's useless, because this guy is already dying of paranoia.

"What do you mean by not talking? I have nothing to say, right? I hit the mark. Well, you dare to despise my master. You, what's your name? Wait, I'll have someone arrest you Get out of jail!" The man said and was about to come forward to arrest Wen Jiang.

"Hey, hey, don't, you misunderstood, you misunderstood." The shop waiter saw that the boy was aggressively seeking trouble with Wen Jiang, so he hurried over to persuade him. He thought the young man was very kind when he first saw him. polite.They are also very approachable and approachable to these waiters, and they don't show off at all, so when they saw him suffer from such an innocent disaster, they couldn't help but speak up to defend him.

"Are you with him? If you dare to say more, you will be arrested together!" The boy refused to let go.

Wen Jiang sighed: "First, I really don't mean to be disrespectful to your master; second, we are not in the same group; third, I am just a guest living here, but I just came because I was hungry. The kitchen." Wen Jiang's words were well-organized, neither humble nor overbearing. Although the boy was unwilling, he couldn't find any openings to fight back, so he snorted heavily, turned around and said to the cook: "What are you looking at! Hurry up and go Prepare supper for our master!"

"I, I, I won't do it!" The cook has been busy all day today, and he was supposed to rest, but the other people who changed shifts with him were scolded bloody by this boy. He just lay down The bed was hurriedly called up, already exhausted, and he has been a cook here for many years, and he has never met such a tricky and nasty person, not to mention that the other party is just an errand, why should he want to Get mad at him! "You can do whatever you want! Anyway, I won't do it! You are amazing, cook it yourself for your master to eat!" After finishing speaking, the cook threw the kitchen knife on the cutting board and shouted with staring eyes. He looked like a broken jar.

"You, you, you scumbag!" The boy was so angry that he couldn't speak. "You wait for me! I—"

"What me!" A clear voice suddenly sounded.Everyone turned their heads, and saw a girl in a pink skirt standing at the door, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her tone of reproach: "Xiaoyong, the master asked you to come down to find some appetizers for the lady, but you are only here Shouting, talking nonsense, and bad reputation of the master, you are the one who should be punished!"

"Ling, sister Lingxiang." Xiaoyong, who was originally arrogant, saw this girl named Lingxiang, and his attitude changed from arrogant to submissive in an instant. "You, how did you come to such a place?"

"If I don't come here by myself, I will let the lady wait for you until when!" Ling Xiang said coldly, then turned her head and softened her voice to the cook: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyong can't speak, and I will definitely tell the master later. , give him the punishment he deserves." After a pause, she glanced over Wen Jiang, and said: "But Xiaoyong is so anxious because he is worried about the master, I hope everyone can understand."

This should be the big maid in the Dream of the Red Chamber who earns one or two silver coins a month.Look at what he said, it not only makes people feel comfortable, but also maintains her master's superior face.

Wen Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, he was a common man with no power, and he wouldn't lose a piece of meat if he was said a few words, so he found a stove and stood there, someone just ran out of it. , and cleaned the pot before leaving.

Although Xiaodiu was hungry, it was already midnight, and he ate a lot in the evening. If he cooked meat dishes, it would be easy to accumulate food. Wen Jiang was thinking about what to make to eat, when he turned his head and saw a few Moyuzi beside him , Hey, why did you forget this, he grabbed the guy standing next to him: "Can I use this, the money is on the account."

The guy was already a little sleepy after guarding for most of the night. Hearing this, he just stared blankly and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Thank you." Wen Jiang smiled, and then took two Moyuzi, which were actually preserved eggs, peeled them off, cut them into cubes, and took a small piece of lean meat, cut them into strips, put them in a small bowl, and After the salt and starch are mixed, put the chopped ginger and green onions aside, then wash the rice and start cooking.

From the moment he started, he felt eyes sweeping over him from time to time, but he just pretended not to feel it.

The farce just now ended, and the kitchen began to be lively again, with the sound of cutting vegetables from time to time, and attendants from various families hurried around with trays. Wen Jiang stood by the stove, and when the porridge was ready, he patted a cucumber. Turning his head: "Hey, dried fungus."

An attendant of an unknown family next to him was making soup, and there was a large pot of soaked fungus in his hand.

Wen Jiang blinked, and couldn't help but said: "Excuse me, can you give me some of this, I can also buy it with money."

Seeing that the person talking to him was a handsome young man, and his speech was very polite, he also said very kindly: "If you need it, just take it and use it. I brew a lot, and I can't use it all up."

"Thank you very much." Wen Jiang saw that the other party was making chicken soup: "Are you making chicken soup?"

"Yes." The man nodded, sighed again and said in a low voice: "Oh, I don't know what to cook recently. Our wife has been cloudy and sunny these days because of the fact that the master married a young concubine. Not sure, I have been stewing this pot of soup for two full hours, I'm afraid she still won't like it by then."

Wen Jiang pondered for a while, then said: "My little brother, I have a recipe for beauty, which is simple and easy to make, but I don't know your wife's taste."

"Really? It's okay, it's okay, tell me first, my sister is serving by my wife's side, she whispered to me, every time she sees the concubine with creamy skin, she starts to throw things, so even Those of us who are cooks can’t please.” The man remembered that every time the food he brought in was dumped by his wife, and then he would be deducted the monthly profit, he was very distressed. Hearing what Wen Jiang said, he immediately felt like He eagerly asked for the recipe like hugging a driftwood.

"It's actually very simple. I saw that you have soaked fungus and red dates here, which can be used to make a black fungus and red date soup. Drinking this soup often has the effect of strengthening the spleen, nourishing qi, moisturizing the skin and removing freckles." Wen Jiang leaned over and whispered : "However, no more than ten jujubes per day, if you are flatulent, you can't drink it."

"Our wife likes to drink sweet soup very much, she must like your soup!" The man was overjoyed immediately, and thanked Wen Jiang repeatedly.

"You're welcome, you also gave me black fungus." Wen Jiang smiled, took a handful of black fungus and left, and then made a cold black fungus, which happened to be eaten with porridge.

The rice porridge began to boil, and a fresh aroma wafted out. Wen Jiang put the preserved eggs and shredded pork into the pot. Following his actions, more and more eyes focused on him.

Even though lean pork shreds were put in the porridge, it didn't have a fishy smell, instead it had a very strong aroma. Coupled with the fragrance of the rice porridge itself, it immediately made people's index fingers twitch, and many people quietly swallowed their saliva. Very curious to look over here.

"Excuse me, can this young master give us a bowl of porridge?" The girl Lingxiang who shocked everyone just now walked up to his side and asked with a smile.

Wen Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Well, this is just ordinary porridge, the ingredients are rough, I'm afraid my sister's master will not be used to it."

"That's right, Miss Lingxiang! I don't know where he came from. The things he makes are so rough, how can he just give them to the lady casually." Just now the boy was dissatisfied. At first, he thought this job would be easy, You can show your face in front of the master, but I didn't expect that this matter has not been done until now, but a brat who came out of nowhere did it easily, and suddenly felt resentful, and couldn't help but slander Wen Jiang.

"Shut up! You're the one who can't handle even a small matter, yet you dare to gossip here! Get out of here quickly! I'll deal with you when I go back!"

Ling Xiang had noticed Wen Jiang from the very beginning, so she naturally knew what ingredients the other party used, so she said with a smile: "The Moyuzi you used has already been eaten in our house, and I also believe that Yongfu Inn will not make up for it. However, we all follow the method taught by the seller or eat it with cold salad or tofu. Today, seeing the little boy’s way of doing it, it already makes people feel appetite. My lady is losing her appetite at the moment, and the master also Very troubled, I don’t know if the young master can—”

People have already talked about this, but it’s just a bowl of porridge. Wen Jiang is embarrassed to refuse, but the so-called misfortune comes from the mouth, and some words must be said first: "I just made it casually. If my sister likes it, please feel free. Take it, but if the young lady of my sister's family feels bad after eating it, please don't blame us."

"It's natural." Seeing that he was so eloquent, Ling Xiang quickly promised, "Don't worry, I know my lady's taste very well, so I would like to thank you, young master." It's different, judging by his behavior, clothes, and attire, it can be seen that he is from a wealthy family. No matter why he cooks by himself, his demeanor should not be underestimated, so when interacting with the other party, he will neither deliberately please, nor Will easily underestimate each other.

Only then did Wen Jiang nod: "Then sister, let's fill it up first."

Ling Xiang rushed to the back and said: "Bring the green jade bowl that Miss often uses." Soon, a little maid came over with a tray. On it was a dark green jade bowl with a lustrous luster. Wen Jiang looked at it. The other party carefully filled half a bowl of porridge, put the bowl in the middle of the tray, and was about to turn around to leave, his eyes swept away, and he suddenly said: "I know my request may be a bit too much, but if you don't mind, can you also send us How about a serving of this cold dish?" She was asking, but Wen Jiang heard a trace of unquestionable tone, adhering to the principle of being able to endure when going out, although she felt a little uncomfortable, she just said lightly : "The black fungus was given to me by the little brother just now, there is no extra, if you want it—"

Ling Xiang also heard a little bit of dissatisfaction in his words, she smiled and gestured to the little maid beside her, and the little maid went to the person just now, not knowing what the two of them said, the little maid came over and said with contempt: "It's really greedy for money. A small handful of fungus cost me dozens of copper coins." As he spoke, his contemptuous gaze swept across Wenjiang, as if the other party was dissatisfied with Wenjiang's disobedient hands when he offered the cold fungus he had made.

Wen Jiang pretended not to see it, then took the fungus, made a new cold fungus and handed it to the other party.

"Troublesome young master." Ling Xiang thanked.

Wen Jiang nodded, but didn't reply.

Until those people left, the rest of the people in the kitchen began to discuss.

"I seem to have seen that maidservant somewhere before."

"What's the reason? The little servant girls are more arrogant than the other, tsk tsk tsk, and the big girl, look at her demeanor, she doesn't come from an ordinary family."

"Ah, I remembered!"

"Quickly tell me, which one is it from?"

"Shhh, keep your voice down, that Ling Xiang is the personal maid of the Second Young Lady of Zhongshuling Wu's family."

"The Zhongshu Ling's family is still a personal maid, how could you have seen it?!" Some people didn't believe it.

"I won't lie to you, our family is also in Kyoto. The second lady of Mr. Wu's family is famous all over the country. Although she won't appear in front of everyone, her personal maid will come out to arrange matters every time."

"This second lady is indeed a bodhisattva."

"Oh, I remembered it too. I heard my father's third uncle's youngest son's mother-in-law's younger brother's younger brother's sister's classmate's sister said that the Holy One intends to choose this second miss of the Wu family as the eighth prince's concubine."

"real or fake?"

"As the saying goes, it is groundless, and there must be evidence for such a statement."

"The eighth prince is deeply favored by the sage. If he marries the second lady of Zhongshu Ling's family again, wouldn't it be—"

"Oh, my food is so muddy!" Someone suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion, and the people who had been talking a lot just now came back to their senses and were suddenly surprised that the topic had turned to a very dangerous place without knowing it. People would definitely be arrested if they heard them talking about royal affairs. Fortunately, they were interrupted.

Now, everyone was not in the mood to discuss the second young lady and the third prince who were as beautiful as immortals, and they turned their heads to focus on the food of their subordinates.

And Wen Jiang, who had already heard enough gossip, found an excuse to interrupt everyone's conversation, shrugged casually, and went back with porridge and side dishes without changing his expression.
