From Tang Ru's point of view, he probably didn't want to see Princess Qian cook a restaurant, otherwise why would he pay this ten thousand taels of silver every month.
Presumably this is also his expedient measure, waiting for the princess to get tired of playing and then ending it.
"How can I help this miserable Grand Governor end his miserable life as soon as possible by collecting money from others to help eliminate disasters?"
Chu Nanzhi thought hard in her mind, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She looked at the Chu sisters and Sang Kun with a wicked smile, and said: "I don't know when I will be able to come back to Beijing this time. I will prepare some new things."
The dishes are just about to enter winter, so it’s time to change to some new dishes.”
"Indeed, few people like the many cold dishes in winter."
Chu Nanxiang replied hesitantly.
"Then let's add some hot pot dishes."
Chu Nanzhi asked Sang Kun to bring the pen and paper to him, and continued while writing: "In addition to cooking the hot pot dishes, the sauce is particularly important. Let's talk about our restaurant's signature fish. In winter, we should use the secret grilled fish.
The main thing is to warm up your body."
Sang Kun paid close attention to the words written on her paper. When he saw two sensitive words, he couldn't help but interjected: "Master, why do you need croton as an ingredient for the secret grilled fish?"
"This, this."
Looking at the three people with surprised expressions, Chu Nanzhi didn't know how to explain it. He deliberately avoided Sang Kun's question, looked at Chu Nanxiang and said seriously:
"Axiang, in the coming days I will personally teach you sisters and the Zhou sisters how to prepare the sauces for new dishes. As for the recipe I wrote, you just need to keep it with you and don't learn it secretly.
Wait until I come back from Beijing and return it to me intact."
After speaking, he handed the written formula into Chu Nanxiang's hands.
Chu Nanxiang folded the formula carefully. Although she was full of confusion, since it was something her eldest sister had told her, she did not dare to be careless at all and immediately hid it in the inner pocket of her clothes.
"Remember, you must not leave your body, and you must hide it."
Chu Nanzhi warned again.
"Sister, don't worry, I will keep this secret formula for you even if I risk my life."
Chu Nanxiang promised swornly.
"Then your little life is more important."
Chu Nanzhi smiled and joked: "Don't be confused. If it comes to the point where you can't keep this formula, there is a saying that a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Maybe you understand what I mean?"
Chu Nanxiang immediately became enlightened and nodded quickly with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Okay, it's getting late. You all should go down and have a rest early."
After arranging everything, Chu Nanzhi sent a few people away and tidied up the room with Sang Qi. Finally, he saw Lin Jinxiao walking in slowly and without hesitation, followed by two little beasts.
Every time he saw Taotao, Qiqi must have done nothing good. He would either have nightmares or ruin the elegance of himself and the pretty boy. So when he saw these two little beasts, Chu Nanzhi didn't have a good face and directly ordered Sang Qi: "Quickly
Drive the tiger cubs out."
Just as Sang Qi stepped forward to drive Taotao away, Qiqi hurriedly ran under the bed and disappeared immediately.
"If you two little beasts don't come out, I will skin you and send your meat to the restaurant to make soup."
Chu Nanzhi was furious and yelled angrily under the bed.
Strange to say, Taotao and Qiqi seemed to be able to understand her words. They immediately crawled out from under the bed and lay on the edge of the bed with their heads raised. They each stretched out a paw and patted her legs gently. She refused.
go out.
Looking at this scene, Lin Jinxiao was doubly surprised. He sent Sang Qi away and sat beside the bed, staring at the pair of tiger cubs quietly.
Now the pair of little tigers have grown up a lot, weighing around thirty kilograms each. But since the last time the lady scolded them, the two little ones have become as docile as little lambs in the house. They are not born with tigers.
There is no trace of animal nature at all, unlike the ferocious birds and beasts in the mountains.
"It's strange to say that when I came to Beijing a few years ago, I was lucky enough to see male lions and tigers kept in the homes of powerful people. Those beasts were kept in cages and roared all day long. If they were not careful, they would kill people.
, Taotao, Qiqi is so weak."
Lin Jinxiao turned his head and looked at Chu Nanzhi, and said suspiciously: "I'm afraid he's used to eating cooked food and has lost his wild nature. If he continues like this, he will be exhausted sooner or later. If he is released into the forest in the future, it will be difficult to survive."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the tiger cubs let out thunderous roars one after another, which frightened the couple so much that they couldn't help but startled.
Chu Nanzhi became so angry that she threw away her hand and slapped Taotao's furry head, which was staring at Lin Jinxiao with wide eyes and a ferocious face, and said loudly: "Who are you yelling at in the middle of the night?"
Taotao immediately shrank his head and put it on her lap in grievance. Qiqi also lowered his head in fear and did not dare to look at Chu Nanzhi anymore. He only kept bulging his eyes and secretly looked at Lin Jinxiao beside him with his peripheral vision.
Lin Jinxiao finally noticed that the two little white tigers were very afraid of their wife, but they wanted to get close to her from time to time.
It is said that white tigers are the most spiritual. In this house, they listen to Dabao and Madam the most. This must be because Madam rescued them from Duanlong Mountain and Dabao took care of them.
Chu Nanzhi felt a little resentful towards these two little tigers. She didn't know why, but she felt bored when she saw them.
Seeing that it was getting late, she was already very tired. She got up and prepared to drive Taotao and Qiqi out of the house, but after a lot of effort, these two little beasts stayed under the bed like mangy dogs and refused to go out.
, and there was no peace in the noisy house.
"Forget it, since they like to be in there, let them stay there."
Lin Jinxiao picked her up, put out the lights, and didn't bother to pay attention to the tiger cubs anymore. He lay down on the bed, hugged her tightly and fell asleep.
But Chu Nanzhi did not sleep peacefully that night. Before dawn, she was awakened by a nightmare.
She dreamed that a large group of people gathered around the Donghua River, and she was tied up, stuffed into a cage, and thrown into the river.
The river water that rolled eastward gradually covered her body and reached the top of her head. She was restrained by the cage and couldn't break free. She watched herself suffocate to death.
Sitting up from a dream, the first thing that caught his eye was Taotao. Qiqi was lying beside the bed, staring blankly at him, with that strange look in his eyes as if he had something to say to himself.
Chu Nanzhi was stunned for a while.
Since coming to this world, the first few nightmares she had were all related to Duanlong Mountain. After bringing back the tiger cubs, she would always have strange nightmares every time they appeared in her house and refused to leave.
This is quite puzzling.
Thinking back to the scene in her dream, she immediately thought of a term - pig cage dipping.
But pig cage immersion is only a punishment for adultery between a man and a woman.
Could it be that someone wants to accuse me of adultery?
Just when she had this idea, Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but wake up. Through the hazy light coming in from the willow window, he could vaguely see the oval face, which was so pale and weak that he couldn't help but sit up.
He hugged her and asked softly: "Have you had another nightmare?"
