Liu Yueqi didn't stay outside for long, and of course she didn't accompany Qing'er on the top floor of Anxiang Building to look at the beauties passing by.
Qing'er's anger didn't last long. After eating, she started to get tired of Liu Yueqi, and she would stick to him from time to time. She blushed at first and didn't get used to it, but eventually she got used to it, and she just treated her as a child.
.
After returning home, I heard from my servants that my father and his third uncle went out together. The third uncle is not at home all the year round. He only stays home for a few days throughout the year. It is rare to come back. A few days ago, he was still running about Liu Yueqi's affairs.
Running around here and there, now that they have some free time, they naturally want to have a good chat.
The uncle also often interacts with some noble gentlemen and spends relatively little time in the house.
After returning home, Liu Yueqi had an idea in her mind.
In fact, this idea came up when he was at Anxiang Tower. Although Liu Yueqi only had two meals in this world, he still discovered a problem.
The so-called food here gives Liu Yueqi a general feeling. This general feeling is mainly reflected in the taste. The taste is very monotonous. The aroma mainly comes from the ingredients themselves. Relatively speaking, the taste of the meat is not bad, but the cooking
The process is too crude and good ingredients are wasted.
Generally speaking, there are excellent ingredients here, but the cooking skills are very average. Even a large restaurant like Anxiang Restaurant gives Liu Yueqi the same feeling. Needless to say about other places.
Liu Yueqi couldn't remember much about herself, but she did remember some things very clearly, such as cooking. Liu Yueqi had a familiar feeling, as if she had learned it in the previous world.
After returning home, Liu Yueqi hurried to the kitchen.
In fact, Liu Yueqi just wanted to find something to do for herself. Her family also owns a restaurant, which might bring greater profits to her family!
The kitchen of Liuyue Mansion is not big, but it is not too small either. There are more than 20 people in the house, including the servants. The master, wife and young master all have their meals cooked by specialized cooks.
, strive to make it delicious.
Because lunch had just ended, there was only one boy in the kitchen, who usually kept watch here to prevent the ingredients from being stolen.
The boy was shocked when he saw Liu Yue Qi coming to the kitchen in person. He thought that the young master had not eaten enough for lunch, so he thought of calling the cook. Naturally, Liu Yue Qi stopped him, saying that he was just taking a look.
Even if Liuyue Mansion cannot be described as magnificent, it can still be regarded as richly decorated. Even the kitchen and other areas are kept spotless and the smell of fireworks is light.
After a while, Liu Yueqi found the ingredients in the house and the seasonings for cooking.
There are not many ingredients, only some marinated meats. A wealthy family like Liuyue Mansion has strict requirements on ingredients. When cooking for the master, they use fresh ingredients on the market. The masters can't finish them all.
It was also shared among the servants, and there were usually no leftovers left.
Liu Yueqi didn't know what kind of meat this was. It didn't look like the most common pork and beef on the market.
"Qing'er, do you know what kind of meat this is?" Liu Yueqi asked Qing'er who insisted on following her.
Qing'er pouted: "Snake meat! Could it be dragon meat..." Apparently she remembered something that made her angry.
"..." Liu Yueqi didn't quite understand why Qing'er always stared at this, but she didn't delve into it, and said helplessly: "Such a big piece of meat, if it is snake meat, is there such a big snake in the world?"
?”
"Huh!" Qing'er snorted, looked back, and said, "This is venison. What on earth are you going to do, sir? Do you want to cook?"
"Hehe!" Liu Yueqi smiled, and then said: "So venison looks like this... Well, forget it, don't worry about it anymore..."
Carrying the meat, Liu Yueqi came to the place where the condiments were placed and immediately frowned.
There are basic seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and there are even more advanced seasonings such as star anise and cinnamon. Why does that guy make the food taste so bad?
Liu Yueqi first walked to the big jar of salt, opened the jar and took a look.
"Qing'er, do you know where this salt comes from?" Liu Yueqi asked.
"Salt was brought from countries near the sea. They packed seawater and dried it in the sun to become salt. But I heard that the finer ones were bought by rich people.
Poor people can only eat those salt cubes, which are unpalatable." Qing'er explained.
Is it sun-salted from sea water? It's quite similar to what they do.
Liu Yueqi picked out a little bit with a small spoon. Although it couldn't compare with the previous world, it was still very thin. She put it in her mouth and tasted it, and frowned again.
It’s really rough but fine. It looks like fine salt, but it’s actually coarse salt. Even the taste is bitter. How can you make delicious meals with such a seasoning? Fortunately, the purification of coarse salt can
For Liu Yueqi, it is relatively simple, as long as you find the right filter material...
Liu Yueqi looked at the remaining seasonings carefully. Although they were not so detailed, they could still be used if they were scrapped.
Speaking of condiments, Liu Yueqi suddenly thought of a condiment called cumin. It was originally a plant and seemed to come from the West. It can be used with star anise, cinnamon, etc. to make cumin powder, which can be eaten with meat.
Excellent seasoning.
I am currently located in the west of the mainland. Is it possible to find this kind of plant? If so, where can I find it...
Liu Yueqi didn't think too much. What he was thinking about now was to make a barbecue with the ingredients he had on hand to test whether he was a real chef.
…
"Miss, let's go!" In the Bai Mansion, the maid Ling'er urged.
"Can you not go?" On the embroidered bed, Bai Yeqing was only wearing close-fitting underwear. She hugged the quilt and refused to get up. She could only discuss it with her maid with a grimace.
"Okay! Then I'll go alone. Miss, please give me the marriage certificate, and I'll help you cancel the engagement. Second Master Liuyue is a decent man, so he won't be too embarrassed if he thinks about it." Ling'er said nonchalantly.
.
"No! We can't break off the engagement! Aunt Bai said, I must marry him!" The young lady refused without hesitation.
"..." The maid was speechless for a while. Miss, do you have some wrong understanding of marriage? Last time you said you wanted to get married, why are you marrying someone else now... She said helplessly: "Miss, since you
If you want to get married to him, you have to go and meet him. This marriage is done after discussion between both parties, and it is not something that can be done just by going to the church..."
Bai Yeqing thought for a while and then said: "I don't want to go there, go and ask him to come over and see me!"
I sincerely abide by your Majesty’s decree...
The maid thought to herself that you are not the queen yet, and I am not your slave, so how can you call her around? Of course, Ling'er also knew the real reason why the young lady did not want to go there: "Miss, I know, Aunt Bai's
Death is a big blow to you. You don't want to go to Liuyue Mansion, and you don't want to see anyone from Liuyue's family, but Liuyue Qi...he is your future husband after all, and you promised Aunt Bai that you will take good care of him.
He, but you... In the past eight years since Aunt Bai died, you have only met a few times. This was the only time when someone came to you, remembering your childhood friendship, and you ignored them.
If you take the initiative to see him, he will almost be killed..."
"Miss, Ling'er will always be on your side. If Miss doesn't want to marry, no one in this world can force Miss. Even Aunt Bai will respect Miss's decision. So, Miss, we might as well give up completely.
We have settled the matter and canceled the engagement, and we will no longer have anything to do with Liuyue Mansion!"
Bai Yeqing was silent, not knowing how to answer.
Ling'er had actually already guessed that, apart from Mrs. Bai's reasons, the young lady actually felt a little reluctant to let go. She was reluctant to let go of the little kid who followed her behind her when she was a child...
After the young lady came to Chujing with Aunt Bai, it wasn't long before Aunt Bai had a child. Therefore, Bai Yeqing watched Liu Yueqi grow up. When she was a child, she liked to follow the young lady, and the young lady...
Then treat him like a little brother and often take him to play with him.
Later, Aunt Bai died, and the young lady disliked seeing everyone in Liuyue Mansion and even hated everyone in Liuyue Mansion. She never entered Liuyue Mansion again. As for Liuyue Qi, she couldn't even speak of hatred, but she was far less close than before.
At that time, Liu Yueqi was only ten years old. It was already painful to lose her mother. Even her sister, whom she had been close to since childhood, didn't want to care about her anymore. Naturally, she was very sad.
Later, Liu Yueqi found out about her engagement with Bai Yeqing, so she occasionally came over to see him, thinking that since they were going to get married, they couldn't be too unfamiliar. The young lady's attitude had always been lukewarm, and she was willing to see him.
But she didn't talk much. Liu Yueqi always came here in good spirits and returned in bad mood.
This relationship has been maintained until now, until something happened to Liuyue Qi a few days ago, and her life and death were uncertain. The young lady finally went to Liuyue Mansion to see him. At that time, he was unconscious, and naturally he didn't know that Bai Yeqing was here.
Have seen him.
Ling'er knew that Liu Yueqi liked the young lady very much in her heart. Whether it was her figure or face, the young lady was the best in the world. Such a girl was destined to become his wife. Which boy wouldn't like it? But so far, the young lady has nothing to do with her.
I have almost no concept or idea about things after getting married. I probably still treat him as a little brother as when I was a child. Can I really get married in such a situation? Moreover, at this critical period when the wedding is approaching, something happened to that person.
It would be okay if he died directly, but at worst, he said goodbye to the past and left Chujing. The world is so big that there is nowhere to go. But he survived and lost his memory. He forgot who the lady was. Do you think this is ridiculous...
"Let's go and have a look." Bai Yeqing finally compromised. She gave him her favorite crispy chicken, but he didn't come over to see her. The lady was a little angry...
