Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 109: Changsheng Soup
Ning Xi could not help but ask, "Just now you said that if something goes wrong, you will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Since it is so dangerous, why don't you all leave?"
Ding Ping said: "Go? Where can I go to have such a leisurely good life? Only a few days of work in three months, I still provide food and drink on weekdays, eat well, live well, and give money. There are also quite a few. When the guests are happy, there are rewards, and everyone in the kitchen can share a share. Besides, where is it not dangerous to work? Let’s talk about my former master. There was a noble person who said that he was sick after eating in the restaurant. It hurts, the restaurant pushed the master out as a scapegoat, and he is still a master chef. He didn't even have a trial, so he was handicapped, otherwise I did a good job and wouldn't even think about leaving."
"Then you come here, did they give you that pill that you take every month to cure you?"
Ding Ping looked left and right, and was about to say something when someone came over and kicked him: "The general manager is here, don't hurry and go to work, you want to die!"
Ding Ping immediately picked up a basket of potatoes and peeled them up.
Director Wu walked in and pointed to Ningxi and You Zhenniang: "You two, come with me."
The two followed him out with doubts, walked around for a long time, and stood in front of a very grand mansion: "This is the mansion of the first-class chef before you."
"Wow!" You Zhenniang couldn't help sighing.
The heavy black lacquer door was pushed open, and two rows of people stood at the door. One row was a young servant in green clothes, and the other row was a young and beautiful maid. The clothes and jewelry on her body were even better than those on Ning Xi and the two of them. Many, the two rows of people bowed respectfully towards them: "General Manager Wu."
Director Wu didn't even glance at the end of his eyes, he led the two of them into the room, perhaps because he wanted to intimidate them. Eyes, Ning Xi only felt dazzled, except that the former first-class chef was really rich, but he didn't feel much.
You Zhenniang's eyes were full of envy. Her family was originally a wealthy family in the small town in her hometown, but here, even half of other people's family can't compare, she secretly I swear that I will stay here as a chef, and one day I will earn such a rich fortune, so that her bitter and mean aunt and brothers with eyes above the top are all kneeling and licking at her feet!
After turning around, Director Wu turned around and looked at the two girls. Ning Xi's eyes had unexplained doubts, while the other woman's eyes seemed to be burning with greed.
Manager Wu cleared his throat and said, "As long as you can be obedient and do things for the island owner, these things will be yours sooner or later!"
You Zhenniang showed her loyalty with a trembling voice: "Yes, I will definitely do my best for the island owner."
Manager Wu had a strange smile on his face: "Come with me again."
After going out this time, I got into the carriage and took them to a bay, where they stood on a rock on the edge of the cliff.
Below the rock is the sea water, and the turbulent waves beat on the rock wall, stirring up water splashes with a height of 10 feet, and the sound of the waves is monstrous.
You Zhenniang felt a little weak in her legs, so she could not help but take two steps back. Standing behind Ning Xi, Director Wu suddenly became stern and shouted, "Come here and watch carefully!"
You Zhenniang stood up tremblingly and stood side by side with Ning Xi on the edge of the cliff. Manager Wu waved, and someone brought a big fat pig prepared in advance and threw it into the sea.
The big fat pig screamed shrilly, struggling and rolling in the water, and suddenly a few big fish jumped out of the water, their sharp teeth gleaming silver in the sun, and swooped on the fat pig, knocking it out in a few strokes It was torn apart, and the water surface was dyed red all of a sudden, You Zhenniang covered her face and exclaimed, Director Wu said negatively, "A person who is disobedient, that pig will be his fate!"
Ning Xi looked at Director Wu calmly: "What on earth do you want us to do?" If it was simply cooking and entertaining guests, there would be no need to be so coercive and enticing, and he had given them pills early in the morning, if not What is particularly difficult to do, they have no reason to be disobedient.
Manager Wu laughed: "Okay, I like to talk to smart people."
Manager Wu took them to a small kitchen at the back of the large kitchen. Although it was only a few steps away from the large kitchen, it seemed like a forbidden place. Basically, no one would set foot here, even if they passed by. Squinting, not even the end of his eyes swept this way.
The small kitchen is clean, and the kitchen utensils and seasonings are also complete.
Mr. Wu: "The dishes you cooked before were nothing. The guests spent so much money to come to our island, not to eat these dishes that can be eaten elsewhere. The real finale of our island The signboard is now for you to make this dish - longevity soup."
"Changsheng Soup?" Ning Xi said that even though she was well-informed, she had never heard of Changsheng Soup.
"Exactly, what the guests want to drink, is this dish that combines a variety of secret medicinal materials, which has the effect of prolonging life, rejuvenating children, strengthening the body and strengthening the body, especially the nourishing and longevity that can revive the male prowess. Soup."
"So, our role is mainly to make this longevity soup?" Ning Xi asked.
"That's right."
"Is there a recipe?" Ning Xi felt that as long as there was a recipe, there was no dish that couldn't be made, and they took so much trouble. Could it be that cooking this dish would cost a lot?
Manager Wu beckoned and asked two bamboo baskets to be brought in, one was placed in front of each person, the bamboo basket was covered with a lid, and it was strictly impossible to see what was inside: "The recipe will be discussed later, you first Let's take a look at the ingredients!"
Ning Xi and You Zhenniang opened the lid of the bamboo basket full of curiosity.
"Ah!" You Zhenniang, who was beside her, let out a shrill scream, Ning Xi's hand shook, and with a "pop", the lid of the bamboo basket fell back to its original place.
At the same time, Jun Qianyu was forced to listen to a live spring in the house of the island owner Xie Xuanwei's concubine.
Xie Sinan took advantage of her father's inattentiveness, and went to the pharmacy room to search quietly for two more times, but did not find the antidote for "San Gong San". It was estimated that it was hidden in the secret room, but there was only one key to the secret room. , Xie Xuanwei carries it with him all the year round. Except for his consent, no one can enter, and even Xie Sinan has never entered.
"There is only one way to get the key now." Xie Sinan said, "Daddy's favorite concubine is Qiuniang. He will visit her every ten days. Only this time, he It is our only chance to get the key.”
Xie Sinan stood up and pulled Jun Qianyu's sleeve: "Let's go, let's go there."
"Butler Tian, where is my father?" Xie Sinan asked the chief steward in charge of the island's necessities.
Steward Tian hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to Miss, the island owner went to Mrs. Qiu's place."
"Okay, I see." Xie Sinan waved him away.
Xie Xuanwei was not very happy, so when he passed by, Qiu Niang would back away and serve herself. When Xie Sinan and Jun Qianyu came over, they saw that the door was closed and only a little maid was bored. Di stood far outside the door, waiting for orders.
Xie Sinan asked Jun Qianyu to wait by the side. She walked over and asked the little maid to help her go back and get something. The little maid did not dare to disobey her, and hesitantly looked at the door of the room, Xie Sinan raised her eyebrows : "Why, can I still use you?"
The little girl was so frightened that she quickly trotted away.
Xie Sinan beckoned Jun Qianyu to come over, walked quietly to the window, wetted the window paper with saliva with her fingers, and looked inside. She chose this position to see the outside of the screen, and saw a pile of The men's clothes were piled on the ground in a mess, and there was an ambiguous noise coming from the screen. The sweet smell wafting from the small hole was exactly the smell of incense that her father used to spoil his concubine.
The opportunity could not be missed, Xie Sinan took Jun Qianyu and walked quickly to the door, and gently pushed open the door: "You watch here, I'll get the key." Let Jun Qianyu be outside Looking at the wind, she quietly sneaked into the room, squatting outside the screen and rummaging through the clothes.
"I found it!" Xie Sinan happily took off the key and was about to stand up when he suddenly saw Jun Qianyu sneak in quietly, closed the inner door, and made a silent gesture towards her. .
It turned out that it was the little maid who just left without permission and was found out. Qiuniang's big maid pinched her ear angrily and pulled her back, and then found that the door was half open. She was scared to death, and hurried in. After checking, Jun Qianyu was afraid of being discovered by her, so he had to hide in.
With Xie Xuanwei's kung fu, these noises can't hide from his ears on weekdays, but the incense he used has a fascinating and psychic effect, and he didn't even notice that someone was outside. Usually, when he went to the concubine's room, he would be strictly guarded around the room, but the side of the house was not allowed to approach people. But when the guards saw the eldest lady coming, they didn't dare to stop him, so Xie Sinan took advantage of this loophole.
At this time, the two of them stood outside the screen in the middle, and there could not be a woman's ambiguous call and a man's heavy breathing. Xie Sinan's cheeks were flushed, and her big eyes were watery. Yu.
Jun Qianyu was unmoved, only listening carefully to the sounds outside.
Suddenly the man inside let out a low growl and murmured, "Nan'er, Nan'er!" There was an indescribable affection in his voice.
Jun Qianyu glanced at Xie Sinan suspiciously. When he met his gaze, Xie Sinan was stunned for a moment. He wanted to explain something in a panic, but he didn't dare to speak out due to the current situation.
At this time, the people outside had already gone out. Jun Qianyu motioned Xie Sinan to go out with her quickly. The little girl was still guarding outside the house. The little girl was shocked when she saw Xie Sinan come out of the room, but she saw Xie Sinan. He walked towards her angrily and pulled her aside: "Where's the thing I asked you to take?"
Jun Qianyu took advantage of her to attract people and slipped out quickly, Xie Sinan said: "This time I will spare you first, remember not to tell anyone that I have been here, otherwise I will cut your tongue. !”
The little maid was so frightened that she couldn't speak, so Xie Sinan left her and walked away.
"Dad should rest for an hour or two before leaving. Let's hurry up and find the antidote." As for the key, she plans to throw the key anywhere after she finds the antidote, that is, her father herself Just accidentally dropped it.
Looking at Jun Qianyu's stern but unbelievably good-looking profile, Xie Sinan explained: "My mother's name also has the Chinese character Nan, my name was not originally Sinan, it was my mother who left. The name was changed later, my father loves my mother very much."
Jun Qianyu looked at Xie Sinan and Ning Xi's somewhat similar faces, and suddenly felt a little uneasy: "Your mother?"
Xie Sinan shook his head: "I don't know either. My father never told me this, nor let anyone mention it."
