The Imperial Concubine Chef - C93
Su Wenlan finished reading the two letters. Her emotions were clearly more agitated than Su Xinyu’s. After all, Su Xinyu had lived in the Two-boundary Village for a few years, and that was her entire past life.
In the end, it was Su Xinyu who comforted her mother. The mother and daughter duo chatted for a while before writing a reply to Madam Liu and Doctor Tian. Slowly, they talked about how good their lives were right now, and how comfortable it would be for them in the future. Su Wenlan’s emotions had finally stabilized.
At this time, Su Mei and Hu Ya had already finished cooking dinner. These days, their daily meals were basically made from the leftovers from the cake. Although Su Xinyu could make different flavors and patterns of the leftovers each time she used it. But in the end, every day, he only sold those things. No matter how tasty they were, no matter how bored they were, they were nothing new to him. Today, in a letter from the Lady and Young Master’s hometown, the two of them were in a very low mood.
Su Mei’s culinary skills were average, which was normal at home. Hu Ya was learning from Su Xinyu, her skill in making noodles had increased greatly. Therefore, if the two of them were to combine the ingredients, it would not be a problem for them to cook a few delicious meals. When Su Xinyu and Su Wenlan were brought to the dining table and looked at the six dishes and one soup on the table, added with the beige steamed bun, the two of them were shocked.
“Who cooked this today? You’ll get an appetite just by looking at them. ” Su Wenlan had already calmed her mood. Now that she saw these delicious foods, she knew that the two little girls felt heartache for her and her daughter, and she became even more happy.
Hu Ya introduced with a laugh: “This yellow bean sprout was stir-fried by the Mei. The one we sent ourselves the day before yesterday. After listening to the words of the young master, she took away the root and bud. This was called the Ruyi Cuisine. It felt different when it was stir-fried, as if it was sparkling and translucent. This fried lamb belly was made according to the instructions of the young master. She knew that you shouldn’t eat too spicy food, so she didn’t add spicy seeds. She only used green garlic and a little of young master’s own wild mountain pepper. So not very spicy, but sour. It must be appetizing and tiring. The sauce eggplant was also made by the Mei, and it was brought back by him just now. I smell it, the sauce is really fragrant. It’s even more fragrant than the soy sauce in Soy Sauce Residence outside. ”
Su Mei also followed: “This garlic mince meat was fried by the Hu Zi. He knew that the young master liked to eat crispy garlic moss, so she first took the oil and then fried it. Soy Sauce was the most commonly used method by the young master. Even though it was overdone and the color was dark, the taste was still pretty good. This plate of Red Braised Tofu was much better than the shredded potatoes. No matter what, the young master’s red-braised sauce is still useful. She poured a spoonful directly on top of it and fried the bean curd. Just a moment ago, Hu Zi was still joking about how in the future, you would be able to get rich by selling this Red Braised Juice. ”
After listening to the two of them finish talking, Su Wenlan smiled. For us family members to eat, the most important thing is to be happy. You’re both good kids. I know. Anyone’s cooking skills were good. “Here, hurry up and get some food.”
When Su Mei was serving food to everyone, Su Xinyu asked while laughing: “Who made this soup?”
Hu Ya laughed: “There’s no need to introduce me. You did it. We were just lured. It definitely did not change the taste! ”
“I know now, that you will all be my materials for the chef in the future. This was good as well, in case he was worried about finding a cook. “After all, he’s not a member of my family, so I’m worried about my recipe.” As she spoke, she picked up a mouthful of bean sprout and ate another piece of Red Braised Tofu. Based on the pickiness she had in the Royal Kitchen back then, she could have spat it out at that time. However, as far as their cooking was concerned, and as far as the two of them were concerned, she had to give them a thumbs-up. Like her mother said. When the family ate together, the most important thing was to be happy. She was really happy.
After dinner, the four of them sat down. At that time, Su Xinyu’s teasing at the table became something that Su Wenlan paid attention to.
She had heard from his wife that she was worried about the possibility of finding a chef in the future. Hu Ya was puzzled. You can just buy them directly. Some important people in the workshop had secret methods, and they all went to buy people to sign death contracts. Such people need not worry about betrayal. Otherwise, it would be the death of the owner. ” Actually, she was also a servant of Su Family, but it was not because she had not been made a slave and did not care about the lives of the other servants. Hu Ya only lived in this era, and was locked up by people for a long time. Everything she had heard before was considered normal. Thus, she didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with her words.
But Su Xinyu frowned. She came from the modern world, a world where all men are equal by law. Although she knew that in her previous life it wasn’t true that all people were equal, it was illegal to at least buy or sell people. But here, she had no choice but to admit that Hu Ya spoke of the most reliable and safest method. However, in terms of her emotions, she was unwilling to do so.
This was different from Hu Ya and Su Mei. Hu Ya had voluntarily followed them. Even if she had spent money, Hu Ya had made his own choice then. Su Mei also did it out of helplessness. Their two encounters had made their indenture contract the bargaining chip that allowed them to always avoid the scum of their relatives. Not to mention that she didn’t enslave them. She could treat them both like family. But it would not do for the future people of chef. If those people weren’t as good as slaves and didn’t sign a death contract, in this era where there was no intellectual property rights or patent protection, stealing the secret recipe would only feel worse in the beginning. Even if she wasn’t stingy enough to share, she didn’t want to be betrayed.
He saw that the young master was silent and his expression was ugly. Su Mei hurriedly looked at Hu Ya.
Hu Ya had no idea what she said wrongly. ” What’s wrong? Am I wrong? This was the safest way. In the past, I’ve seen many of these things happen over at the Fang people’s side. But not everyone who is bought is necessarily miserable. Meeting a good master was the key. I’m the lucky one. To be honest, I’ve seen a master with good intentions before, but he betrayed me. So Young Master, you don’t need to think too much into it. There were too many people with big hearts. Good intentions did not always have a good ending. We have to prepare for the worst. ”
Su Xinyu patted Hu Ya’s shoulder, “I know what you mean. And I know you’re right. I’m not unhappy, but I think you have more management talent than I do. In the future, when we open a restaurant, I’ll have you be the manager. ”
Hearing that, Hu Ya’s eyes immediately lit up: Really? I will definitely do it well! ”
Su Xinyu nodded: “I believe that you can definitely do it. Tomorrow, I will research a few fresh snacks for Manager Zhang. Mei, tomorrow, you help Hu Zi set up a stall. The two of you have worked hard for these past two days. When the time comes, we will rest and not sell anything. and a very comfortable year. ”
Su Wenlan nodded. “Yes. There is no way we can earn all of the silver, but nothing is more important than having a family happy New Year together. ”
At night, he returned to his room. Only then did Su Xinyu take out Wen Ling’s letter.
In fact, she didn’t know why she had concealed the matter of Wen Ling writing a letter to her. Even though she knew very well that her mother would never ask to see this letter, she still felt inexplicably guilty.
After locking the door and entering his spatial dimension, he opened Wen Ling’s letter. He looked at the thick stack of papers and the small piece of paper on top of it and suddenly felt full. She wasn’t stupid. Even if she hadn’t been in a relationship, she knew how to like people. Although she was still small, she was still an adult. Although she felt that he was a little shameless towards a teenage boy, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of childishness from Wen Ling. It could be said that Wen Ling’s mental age and experience was definitely better than his.
Realizing that she was finding an excuse for herself, Su Xinyu face reddened with disappointment. Then she patted her own face and began to read the letter.
As she read, Su Xinyu realized that this stack of papers was not written for the first time. Furthermore, not every page was made out of tiny bits and pieces of paper. Wen Ling wrote down what she saw and what he thought. She even wrote down some of the special snacks that he had eaten to tell her that she had some cooking methods.
The more Su Xinyu looked at the smile on her face, the more obvious it became. The more she looked, the more she felt that Wen Ling was an inconceivable person. After he finished reading all the content. She felt her neck aching.
The contents of this letter were too much and too miscellaneous. But other than some trifling things that Wen Ling wrote down in his diary, there were still others that were important. For example, there was a page that was specially written for Tian Liyong. Only now did Su Xinyu know that Tian Liyong had followed General Wang of the Thousand Blessings Guard to the east side of the river to suppress the rebellion.
For so long, the war had not ended, but neither had it been a full-scale one. Previously, the people from the Lou Family in front of the Emperor had been thinking about how to control the military power, while they were colluding with the rebel army behind the scenes. Right now, the emperor of the capital was already critically ill, so the battle for the throne between the Third Prince and the Third Prince was already on the table. The Fourth Prince was the legitimate heir to the throne. But since Third Prince was the oldest and his mother was the current successor, it wasn’t impossible for one to say that he was the legitimate son. The two of them had similar backgrounds and their ages were only half a year apart. This led to many court officials being divided into different factions for their own purposes. The situation in the capital was very serious.
Su Xinyu did not know where Wen Ling was standing inside. But he could tell between the lines that he was on Fourth Prince’s side. Su Xinyu did not understand the temperament of these princes, and the change of status of an emperor was not something a little girl like her could talk about. But she believed in Wen Ling. Naturally, she was more willing to side with the Fourth Prince.
She only needed to know now that Tian Liyong was helping those people from the Fourth Prince. Although Wen Ling did not directly say it, the meaning was already very clear. This time, Tian Liyong was able to obtain victory. After the Fourth Prince ascends to the throne, Tian Liyong will advance to become an official. And this battle in the east was not just a critical battle for the imperial court. To Tian Liyong, this was also extremely important.
Alright, I’ll add you to the list. Shit, he could go home and farm.
But everything would have to be built after the end of this battle. Tian Liyong was still alive.
As such, she was his sister in status, and his psychological sister and friend. Su Xinyu was really worried.
