Xia Jin was dressed like a teenager. She carried a small half bag of pepper on her shoulders, her hair was messy, her sleeves were rolled up, and her trouser legs were rolled up. She looked like a bastard who went out to collect bird eggs and came home late.
Standing inside the door, shrouded in orange-yellow candlelight, Lin Ziyi was dressed in soft armor and wearing a jade crown. His expression was cold, and his brows and eyes were cold and arrogant, mixed with the aura of a strong man.
The aura of having been in a high position for a long time and the domineering spirit of fighting on the battlefield all year round only make this tall and straight figure more burly and powerful, but his face is a little pale, which adds a hint of sinisterness to his aura!
"It's so late, where have you been?" Lin Ziyi's voice was particularly clear to Liu Ju in this quiet place where only the chirping of insects and frogs could be heard.
Xia Jin lowered her head and looked at her embroidered shoes with holes in them from climbing the mountain to pick pepper, and her rolled up trouser legs that she hadn't had time to put down yet.
This is the second meeting between her and her sponsor. The first time she met her was the Avatar. Well, let’s turn it over and delete it from the dark history!
When we meet for the second time, let’s not talk about how beautiful we make him feel. Let’s make him feel a little more normal at least. What’s the matter with this sense of déjà vu of being caught doing bad things!
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Ma hurried over to smooth things over.
"The girl got lost on the road. She must be scared now. Go inside and wash up quickly!"
Xia Jin cast a grateful look at Zhang Ma!!
Ma Zhang is indeed Ma Ma Zhang, she is reliable at critical moments!
Zhang Ma took Xia Jin into the back room, took a look outside, and saw that the general hadn't left, so she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he glared at Xia Jin and said angrily: "You have to do it yourself to pick pepper!"
"Siji is too young, and Zhang Ma's legs and feet are inconvenient, so I must go. Besides, I have a great harvest today, and those peppers will be enough for a long time!" Xia Jin's eyes lit up.
Zhang Ma quickly stopped, "Don't talk about pepper or not, your top priority now is to serve the good general!"
Then he persuaded in a bewitching tone:
"When you talk to the general later, you must be gentler! If you sleep with the general tonight and give birth to a son and a half girl, the girl will be famous! We can also go to the capital! There is no need to open a restaurant!
"
While she was talking, Zhang Ma's hands were not idle and she took out the rice water that had been stored for several days from the cabinet.
Xia Jin's eyes widened when she saw Zhang's mother pouring the rice water into the bathtub.
"Mama Zhang, what is this?!"
"This is called Pan. It is used for bathing. Normally I would be reluctant to take it out!"
Xia Jin was determined not to go in. After washing this thing, wouldn’t it make her go bad?
Not to mention the general, the dogs on the roadside would probably shake their heads after smelling it!
Zhang Ma had a straight face and looked like you don't understand. She pressed Xia Jin in with her hands and feet, and started rubbing her.
Let’s not talk about the taste, but the effect of rubbing the mud is surprisingly good. However, no matter how good the effect is, she doesn’t want to try it a second time!
Fortunately, after using the pan, wash it with clean water and sprinkle dried osmanthus flowers inside, so there is no strange smell left on your body after bathing.
It does have a strange fragrance, like rice cakes, and a bit like sweet wine with osmanthus added.
Lin Ziyi was sitting in the outer hall, and Si Ji carefully handed him a cup of jasmine tea made by Xia Jin.
Lin Ziyi was attracted by the fragrance. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip to leave the fragrance in his mouth. When he looked carefully, he saw that this was not tea leaves, but a kind of flower. It was the first time he saw flowers used as tea leaves.
However, it tastes fragrant but not vulgar, light but not bland, and tastes pretty good...
"General, the girl has finished taking a bath!" Zhang Ma's voice came from outside the door.
The wind blew through the candlestick, the flames swayed slightly, and Xia Jin walked out of the room.
Lin Ziyi turned around and saw that this woman was not as embarrassed as before. She was like a hibiscus that had just emerged from the water. She had a calm face and elegant appearance. It would be no exaggeration to say that she was as beautiful as a fairy!
She stood there, her long and curled eyelashes gently covering her eyelids like butterflies. Under her small nose, her lower lip was red and shiny. Her waist-length hair was hanging down, fresh from the bath.
Because of this, her hair hung wetly on her chest, soaking the skirt of her clothes and clinging tightly to her body, outlining an imaginative arc.
Lin Ziyi looked strangely and asked:
"I heard from Mu Gu that you work in a restaurant?"
Xia Jin tightened her sleeves and thought to herself, Mu Gu speaks really fast!
"If you run out of money, ask someone to deliver a letter to the general's mansion. The housekeeper will send you some banknotes, so don't go to work!"
Lin Ziyi stood up. The shadow left by the refraction of the candlelight made his eyes extremely dark, like a deep and narrow valley, bottomless black!
This was the first time Xia Jin saw him up close.
My financial sponsor is quite good-looking, but a little too cold, and his complexion is not very good. However, he is quite generous, spends generously, and gives a lot of money.
But Xia Jin has her own ambitions, so she doesn't want to be dependent on others!
Looking at his back, Xia Jin became more determined to leave!
Liu Ju can come and leave whenever he wants. If he comes one day and is interested, can he treat himself how he wants?
No matter what, the restaurant must continue to open, and I must get out of here as soon as possible!
After Lin Ziyi left, Zhang Ma stood at the door with a sad face and patted her thigh.
"The girl is so charming, why didn't the general stay the night?"
Xia Jin has a black hair... It's best to leave... If he wants to keep it overnight, he will have to roast the general today, and then he will have to wander around the world with his lame Zhang Ma, living a life of being wanted.
…
The next day, before dawn, Xia Jin went out early to buy the bison that the old man in the village had shot, planning to make today's signature dish a whole cow feast.
The old man was warm-hearted and helped him to the back door of the restaurant. Xia Jin gave him some money and told him that if he hunted another bison next time, he would bring it directly to the Food God Hall.
The old man was very happy. The price Xia Jin gave was not low, and he even bought the whole cow. Where could he find such a good buyer?
She agreed without even thinking about it, and before leaving, she forced Xia Jin to give her two red eggs, saying that it would be a happy occasion for her daughter-in-law to have a baby.
"What are we going to do with such a big cow?" Siji was in trouble.
Xia Jin handed the red eggs to Zhang Ma and Si Si, and then took out a boning knife from the kitchen.
I saw her holding the knife in her hand, skinning and cutting it into pieces, and the cow was finished in a short time.
This scene only made the four seasons stunned!
All the red eggs in Zhang’s mother’s hand fell to the ground!
Xia Jin cut off a piece of steak, sprinkled it with pepper and salt, grilled it over three-flavor real fire, and a pepper steak was ready!
Of course, there are more than these, there are also stir-fried beef, braised beef, pissed beef balls, cold beef louvers, beef offal rice noodles, big bones made into beef soup, backbones made into beef scorpions...
Siji looked at the dishes Xia Jin had just prepared on the table, and his mouth watered.
“There are so many ways to prepare beef, the owner is really amazing!!”
You can't blame Siji for being so shocked. Xia Jin discovered that the cooking methods in this world are very primitive, either roasting or stewing, and they don't even add salt, let alone seasonings.
Moreover, the food grilled with three flavors of real fire can not only stimulate the taste buds and increase appetite, but also bring out the maximum flavor of the food!
Not to mention the Four Seasons, even the people on the street were attracted by the scent and gathered around the door of the store waiting for it to open.
It was a trial opening yesterday and today is the first day of official opening!
This time Xia Jin was well prepared!
After getting ready, at dawn, Xia Jin asked Si Ji to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he heard a familiar high-pitched voice coming from outside.
"People were eaten to death here yesterday, but you still dare to eat today? Are you desperate for your life?"
Xia Jin followed the sound and looked, wasn't this the third aunt of the Four Seasons? Standing next to her was a tall and thin man with dark circles under his eyes, a sallow complexion, and a hunched-over neck, giving him a wretched look.
