"Old man, I see you're being honest today. I'll stew pork ribs for you later." Hu Suhua saw that Xiang Nan had been busy seeing a doctor for a long time. After seeing the doctor, she didn't even think about going to the door to flirt with her again. She felt happy and walked around smiling.

road.

"Don't, don't, don't dare trouble Madam. I'll take care of the braised pork ribs." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan quickly waved his hand.

Hu Suhua's cooking skills are not good, and the dishes she makes are either salty, sour, bitter, or raw, and are inedible at all. This is one of the reasons why Xilaile always misses the lion's head from the opposite door.

After all, who wouldn’t be afraid to eat dark food?

"Hey, how can an old man cook?" Hu Suhua waved her hand and said, "You have been busy for a long time, just sit here and wait for the ready-made food."

"It's my husband's honor to be able to cook for my wife~" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Just let me go, Defu'er, you stay here and watch. If you have any incurable diseases that cannot be cured, just call me."

"Hey, I understand, Master." Defu immediately responded, turning back to the other waiter, Takako, and said, "It's over. Master's cooking may be even worse than what my wife cooks."

Guizi, Anzi, Luzi and other waiters also looked embarrassed when they heard this.

After all, the mistress had learned to cook, but Xilaile had never learned to cook. After all, in that era, the emphasis was on men taking charge of the outside, women taking charge of the house, and gentlemen staying away from the kitchen.

So it’s no wonder that his cooking is delicious!

"Defuler, what are you talking about?" Hu Suhua, with sharp ears, scolded her immediately after hearing this.

"I said I must guard the counter and take good care of the doctor~" Defuer quickly changed his words.

"That's pretty much it." Hu Suhua nodded.

…

Xiang Nan immediately went to the backyard kitchen, washed his hands, put on an apron, and prepared to cook.

"Old man, are you okay?" Hu Suhua asked worriedly when she saw this.

"Oh, I've watched my wife cook for so long, and I've learned how to imitate others." Xiang Nan said with a smile. To be honest, he was really no stranger to cooking.

As a contemporary social animal, in order to save money, cooking is a necessary skill. After all, no matter how cheap a lunch box is, it costs ten yuan. And the cost of cooking the same meal by yourself is no more than five yuan. And the quality of cooking is also high.

ensure.

Xiang Nan immediately chopped the ribs with a knife, blanched them, put them in the pot, stir-fried, colored, stewed, and seasoned... While stewing the ribs, he first simmered the rice and then fried two vegetables, one garlic beans and one celery.

.

Stir-fry the vegetables, simmer the rice, and add salt to the pork ribs to reduce the juice...

"Okay, Luzi, let's greet everyone to dinner~" Xiang Nan shouted immediately.

"Eat, eat~" Luzi greeted immediately.

After a while, everyone had filled their bowls with rice and sat at the table, ready to eat.

In ancient times, most apprentices had a miserable life. After becoming a master, their fate basically belonged to the master, and they could be beaten, scolded or punished. Each one had his own destiny, whether he ran away or died.

They did whatever the master told them to do, working during the day and keeping vigil at night. Without enough to eat or warm clothes, they were like slaves.

However, Xilaile and his wife were kind people and did not treat their apprentices harshly, so the apprentices and servants were able to eat and drink well.

…

"Brother Defuer, did Master make this dish? It looks okay~" Shengzi said doubtfully.

"It looks okay, but who knows what it tastes like~" Defu frowned.

"That's right, that's right." Everyone nodded, feeling psychologically affected by the mistress's dark dishes.

"Come on, old man, you've been working hard for a long time, sit down~" Hu Suhua said while helping Xiang Nan sit down.

In fact, as long as Xilaile doesn't confront him, Hu Suhua really has nothing to say to him.

"Madam, sit down too, madam, sit down too." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Come, madam, try my cooking~" As he said that, he picked up a piece of ribs and put it in her bowl.

"Yeah." Hu Suhua nodded with a smile and put it into her mouth without hesitation.

No matter how bad the old man's cooking is, it was made by her herself, and it tastes both delicious and unpleasant.

"Hiss~" When the disciples and maids saw this, they all took a breath of cold air.

There was a kind of admiration in the eyes of the landlady, as if she was a divine farmer who tasted all kinds of herbs.

"Master, how does it taste?" Defu asked with concern.

"Hey, it tastes good." Hu Suhua chewed it twice. It tasted salty and the meat was crispy. It was really delicious.

"Really, let me try it~" Seeing that her face didn't look fake, Defu quickly stretched out his chopsticks and said.

"Pah~" Hu Suhua knocked on his chopsticks, "No rules, let your master eat first~"

"Hey, Master, you eat first." Defu quickly changed his words.

Xiang Nan nodded, picked up the ribs, and took a bite, "Well, it tastes pretty good. Okay, you all can eat~"

When all the disciples heard this, they took off their chopsticks one after another.

“Hey, it’s really delicious~”

“It tastes really good~”

"Master, does he still have this skill?"

They said in surprise while eating.

The master's cooking skills are much better than the master's wife.

"Old man, when did you learn to cook? Could it be that you were taught by a friend of yours?" Hu Suhua asked suspiciously.

The old man's cooking was more delicious than hers, so it was obviously impossible for him to steal from her. It was possible for him to steal from the vixen from the opposite door.

"Hey, look at you, you are so narrow-minded, aren't you?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "To be honest, cooking is the same as prescribing medicine. They both require a monarch, minister, and envoys, proportions and blends, observing the color, and smelling the smell.

Yi Yin, the ancient miracle doctor, was a cook by trade and was good at making spoons; the dumplings we usually eat were invented by Zhang Zhongjing, the medical sage of the Eastern Han Dynasty... I am good at prescribing medicine, so I can't do any cooking."

Seeing that he had a nose and eyes, Hu Suhua couldn't help but believe him 70% to 80%.

"Since your cooking is so delicious, you will cook all the meals at home from now on." She said with a smile.

"Okay, just watch it, madam." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Defu, Luzi, after dinner, give your master a good pat on the back, don't let him get tired." Hu Suhua said again.

"Yes, Master." Both Defu and Luzi responded.

…

After finishing his meal, Xiang Nan returned to the front hall, leaned back on the chair, and took a rest with his eyes squinted.

Defu and Luzi, one pinched the shoulders and the other beat the legs. There was also a purple sand pot on hand to brew fragrant tea and take a sip to moisten the heart and lungs. Although there was no mobile phone, wifi, or TV, my life was considered free.

While Xiang Nan was enjoying it, he was thinking about how to marry Sai Xishi.

He originally had two ideas.

One is to divorce Mr. Hu and leave the house, so that he can live openly with Sai Xishi; the other is to elope with Sai Xishi. With his good medical skills, it is not difficult to make a living even if he lives in a foreign land.

It was only after traveling through time and inheriting Xilaile's memory that Xiang Nan realized that neither of these two paths worked.

Xilaile, like Defu, was an orphan at that time. He was taken in by his master since he was a child and taught him medical skills. Later, he also recruited him as his son-in-law and handed over the family business to him.

This was a great kindness to Xilaile. Therefore, even though Hu was arrogant, unruly, poor at cooking, and barren, Xilaile never thought of divorcing his wife.

Therefore, if Xiang Nan divorces his wife or elopes, even if he completes the task, it will be difficult for him to be recognized by Xilaile. At that time, the reward will be greatly reduced.
