After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran thought to himself that since Yang Long was celebrating his birthday, he could only go to Zhongdu once. It had been so long, so it was time to go. After all, when he left, he told Master Miao that
I have only been away for a few days, and it has been more than a week now. I want to go to Zhongdu to settle things, so that I can calm down and do my own thing.
"Brother, are you up yet..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which woke Chen Ran up. When he saw the time, it was already past seven o'clock, and it was Chen Xiaowen who knocked on the door.
Chen Xiaowen goes to school in the city and now comes back once a week. However, although he comes back once a week, every time he comes home now, he feels that there have been great changes in his home. In fact, not to mention the changes in his home, even if
His life in school has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Although Li Yuzhi was still restricting his living expenses, when he returned home, the small amount of money Chen Ping gave him from time to time was almost as much as his previous month's living expenses. With money, naturally he could buy the things he had always wanted to buy.
After that, he would often treat his classmates to high-end meals. In this way, his status in front of his classmates would naturally rise. Those classmates in the school who had rich families had always looked down on him, but now they took the initiative to
When I talk to him, my tone of voice is different from before...
These changes have brought about a great change in his entire mental outlook. Not only has he become more confident, he is also brighter.
Chen Xiaowen knew that whether it was his own changes or the changes in his family, it all came from his brother. Therefore, he admired his brother very much.
When he came back this time, he heard that his brother had made tens of millions in Huadu. It surprised him and at the same time made him admire his brother even more. He was so energetic that he didn't even sleep in late in the morning.
He ran to Chen Ran's room.
"Brother, did you carve all these jade articles?"
Chen Xiaowen walked in with a smile. When he saw a pile of jade articles on the table, he walked over and touched this and that one fondly.
"Well, yes, you can play with it..." Chen Ran packed up his things and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Although the jade material of these jade articles is not very good, there are also many mid-range materials. After Chen Ran's carving, they are still very beautiful. When Chen Ran said that he could play with it, Chen Xiaowen was naturally very happy.
I selected several pieces.
In addition to what he selected for himself, he also selected a few items for some of his close classmates. After selecting the last, he also attracted Chen Xiaomei, who was going to school, and the two of them divided the spoils directly, but it may be that the spoils were unevenly divided.
, they started to quarrel, and the quarrel brought Li Yuzhi to the scene. As a result, both of them were punished, and the jades they had picked were confiscated, and they were only asked to choose one piece each.
Both of them were extremely depressed.
After Chen Ran finished washing, he looked at the little thing and found that the little thing was still sleeping. Chen Xiaomei squatted down and touched it. It just opened its eyes and tilted at Chen Xiaomei, then closed its eyes and fell asleep.
Chen Xiaomei thought it was sick. Chen Ran naturally knew what was going on, so he ignored it. Three or four people went downstairs noisily.
While eating breakfast, Chen Ran mentioned that he was going to Zhongdu, and Chen Xiaowen also wanted to go with him, but he was punished by Li Yuzhi, who was so angry that he didn't even eat, and sat sulking.
stand up.
It's not a big deal for Chen Ran to go to Zhongdu, so he can follow him, but Li Yuzhi won't let him go at all, so he has no choice but to give up. Chen Xiaomei still has to go to school, so even if she wants to go, she can't. Look at the two of them.
Looking depressed, Chen Ran comforted the two of them and said that they would calm down after they took them on a trip.
After dinner, Chen Ran called Guo Hai and told him about Yang Long's birthday, but Guo Hai said that he really couldn't leave. In the past few days, Chen Ping and him had already chosen a hotel location.
I am busy decorating. In addition to decorating, I have other things to be busy with. Not to mention a trip to Zhongdu, I almost don’t have time to have a meal at home.
Guo Hai couldn't go, so Chen Ran left for Zhongdu alone.
The little thing was sleeping all the time and refused to eat even though he was fed food. In this case, Chen Ran just left it at home.
Before nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Ran drove away from Bishui and headed for Zhongdu. On the way, the weather was not beautiful. It rained heavily, there was strong wind and lightning, so Chen Ran did not dare to drive.
It was so fast that it took five or six hours to get to Zhongdu.
When we arrived at Zhongdu, the heavy rain gradually stopped, but the weather was very stuffy, as if a storm might come at any time, making people feel suffocated unconsciously.
When Yang Long and Chen Ran were on the phone, they told him to call him when Chen Ran arrived, so Chen Ran took out his phone and called him as soon as he arrived in Zhongdu.
Yang Long told Chen Ran to go directly to his place on the phone, but Chen Ran saw that it was still early and planned to go to Master Miao's place first, so he told Yang Long to go there in the evening.
Parking the car at the intersection, Chen Ran entered the alley. As he walked, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Master Miao was and why he looked at him so differently.
These two questions have undoubtedly been lingering in his mind for a long time, but he has never been able to answer them. He also asked Master Miao, but Master Miao did not answer him and just went off to do whatever he needed to do.
Gao Qiang once introduced Master Miao to him, saying that Master Miao's family has been cooking for generations and has a long history. In the 1990s, Master Miao was spotted by an old general and was invited to the capital. Later, Master Miao's legs
I somehow got injured and lost my right leg, so I returned to my ancestral home.
Chen Ran really doesn't know much about Master Miao. He only knows that the food cooked by Master Miao is absolutely first-class. It is no longer an ordinary meal. Every time he eats it, it makes people think about it for several days. This statement is not at all true.
exaggerate.
Chen Ran also thought about whether Master Miao might be related to his grandfather's family. After all, his grandfather was also a cook. But this time when he was at home, he asked his parents about Master Miao, but no matter it was
Neither Chen Ping nor Li Yuzhi had heard of it.
While thinking about it, Chen Ran walked and soon came to the door of Master Miao's courtyard, but the door was closed.
"Bang bang..."
Looking up at the gloomy weather, Chen Ran stood at the door and knocked on the door.
"Who..."
With a creaking sound, the courtyard door was opened a crack, revealing a head. This person was not Master Miao, but a young man wearing a white chef's hat.
"Are you here for dinner? There is no food left." The young man looked at Chen Ran and said this before Chen Ran could speak. After saying that, he was about to close the door.
"etc……"
Although Chen Ran was a little surprised why there was suddenly an extra person in Master Miao's room, he still quickly stopped him: "I'm not here to eat. Is Master Miao here?"
"Uncle, there are no guests, you should go." Hearing that Chen Ran was here to see Master Miao, the young man refused to let Chen Ran in. But just as he was about to close the door, a hoarse voice suddenly came over.
: "Xiao Tao, let him come in."
Hearing Master Miao's voice, Chen Ran quickly squeezed in. When he came in, he saw the vicissitudes of the figure standing in the yard, still wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a hat from the Republic of China period.
Standing there like an erected benchmark.
Chen Ran looked at Master Miao, and Master Miao raised the brim of his hat with his right hand, revealing a pair of eyes that also looked at Chen Ran.
"Master Miao." The two looked at each other, Chen Ran nodded and said hello.
"Come inside."
Master Miao left a word and turned around neatly and walked into the house.
Chen Ran followed him. He used to eat in the yard, but this was the first time he entered the house. Master Miao and Chen Ran both entered the house, and the young man followed behind, but it was very strange.
Don't blame him for being strange, you have to know that his uncle's temper is very strange. If other people came here and said they were looking for his uncle, his uncle would definitely not see him. But the young man in front of him is an exception. Not only did he let him in
, and let him into the house.
The furnishings in Master Miao's house are very simple. There is nothing in the main hall except a cabinet and a table.
"Sit down and wait."
Master Miao's words were still so simple. Chen Ran knew Master Miao's temper and was not polite. He nodded and sat down directly. The young man, Miao Hongtao, was originally standing at the door looking at Chen Ran strangely, but Master Miao suddenly
Called him into the kitchen.
Chen Ran was also a little hungry at this time. After all, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, Master Miao didn't keep him waiting. After a while, he brought him a bowl of chestnut rice and a pig's trotter.
A small pot of mandarin fish soup and vinegared cabbage, Master Miao's three specialties, are all in abundance.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat yet, stand up."
When Chen Ran was about to use his chopsticks, Master Miao suddenly said something.
Chen Ran was startled. Although it was a little strange, he stood up immediately. After he stood up, Master Miao walked behind him and stretched out his hands on his arms, legs, shoulders, back, and neck.
Pinch it.
Master Miao's actions made Chen Ran a little confused, and when Master Miao pinched it, his expressionless face finally changed a little, and he seemed a little surprised and a little confused.
What puzzled Master Miao was none other than Chen Ran's body. The medicinal soup that Master Miao gave Chen Ran was indeed to condition Chen Ran's body. This was a medicinal soup passed down by his Miao family to strengthen his body.
It cannot be said that it was passed down from his family, because this prescription actually came from the palace of the Qing Dynasty.
The ancestor of the Miao family who served as an imperial cook in the Qing court met an imperial physician who was also a folk wonder. During Kangxi's private visit in disguise, he was injured and was saved by this imperial physician.
The imperial doctor came from a medical family, but later the family declined. This person was also very strange. He came from a medical family, but he could neither diagnose pulse nor acupuncture, and could only use medicinal decoction.
As the saying goes, whether it is a white cat or a black cat, if it catches mice, it is a good cat. Kangxi didn't care whether he could diagnose pulses or not, he directly brought him to the palace and served as the imperial doctor, specializing in treating cats.
Royal descendants take care of their bodies.
The cooking skills inherited from the Miao family belong to the line of dietary therapy and are also used to regulate the body. In modern times, the ancestors of the Miao family and the imperial doctor are competitors. No one is secretly competing with each other, but on the surface, although they
No one obeys anyone, but secretly they cherish each other.
When Yongzheng ascended the throne, the entire court was purged. Not only the foreign ministers were purged, but the palace was also purged. The imperial doctor was also caught up in it. Before he died, the imperial doctor gave his family's medicinal soup
The method was passed down to the ancestors of the Miao family, and later it became the medicinal soup method passed down by the Miao family.
Although this kind of medicinal decoction therapy cannot achieve the legendary effect of cleansing the menstruation and cutting the pulse, it can lay a good foundation for the human body. In fact, this kind of health regimen is widely used in China, among national athletes.
They all use similar health-preserving methods to regulate their bodies. After all, they are often injured. The body can not be strong just by exercising more, but also needs to be able to maintain good health.
Of course, among these domestic health-preserving methods, the effects are both great and small, and the Miao family's herbal soup method is also considered a very good one.
Master Miao had been conditioning Chen Ran's body for less than a month, but he just checked Chen Ran's body and found that compared to the last time he saw Chen Ran, Chen Ran's body was much stronger, which surprised him.
Not small.
During this period, Chen Ran not only kept practicing weird dances, but also used energy apertures to condition his body, so that he could not get better.
"Eat, don't leave in a hurry after eating."
Master Miao left a word and then turned around and entered the house.
Chen Ran didn't feel strange at all. He was used to Master Miao's appearance. After Master Miao left, he couldn't wait to start eating. He hadn't eaten the food cooked by Master Miao for a long time, and he also couldn't wait to eat.
He had been hungry for a long time, so he ate very deliciously and ate three bowls of chestnut rice in one go.
"Come in."
After Chen Ran finished eating, Master Miao stood at the door of the inner room and greeted Chen Ran.
