Thinking of this, Zhang Yu suddenly felt that his life was pretty good now.
"Xiaoyu, what are you thinking about?" The old housekeeper's shout brought Zhang Yu's mind back to where he had wandered.
"No, I didn't think about anything. I just feel that life is very difficult now."
"Yes! Life is very good now, so people should be content with what they have!" The old housekeeper sighed, and then felt that it was not good to discuss this with young people, so he immediately changed the subject: "Xiaoyu, are you hungry?"
Are you ready? I'm going to cook."
"I'll go." Xiangyun stood in front of the old housekeeper. She had already figured out that those so-called family members were not worthy of her sorrow. Letting them see her living well was the real "reward" for those people.
.
When the old housekeeper saw that she was back in high spirits, he did not stop her. She would be better off if she worked a little, and she would stop thinking about those bad things.
At this time, Zhang Yu also took off the things he brought from the bicycle and put them on the table. After Zhang Yu visited him many times, Xiangyun already knew his temper and did not postpone his gifts.
After leaving the Xie family, the couple also encountered some things and saved a fortune. However, they hid the things in the past few years because they felt something was wrong with the limelight.
The two of them had no children in their lives, and they never expected to meet a good boy like Xiaoyu. They had already made up their mind to leave those things to Zhang Yu, so they always took care of the things that Zhang Yu brought over.
There will be no more obstruction.
Xiangyun saw ham among the things Zhang Yu brought over, and she suddenly showed a surprised look.
When it comes to cooking other dishes, Xiangyun doesn't dare to say how delicious her cooking is, but cooking ham dishes is definitely something she can do at her fingertips.
All of this must be blamed on the former Xie family. When she first entered the Xie family, she recognized an old nanny as her godmother. The old nanny relied on her good cooking skills to gain a foothold in the Xie family.
She didn't learn anything else from her godmother, but she learned how to handle ham, and what Zhang Yu brought today happened to be an old ham.
Looking at the old ham, Xiangyun showed an expression of joy and said to Zhang Yu: "You care, grandpa loves the smell of ham. When he was young, he always liked to run to the kitchen and pester my godmother.
I asked her to cook with ham, and every time I helped my godmother, and unknowingly I also learned a good skill. Speaking of which, I have the skills I have now, and I have to thank you for caring about my grandpa."
Xiangyun couldn't help but sigh when she thought about her days in the Xie family. The Xie family were such good people. They would never beat or scold their servants at will. How could something like that happen to them? Fortunately,
Fortunately, Xie's family is fine.
"You don't care, grandpa has been greedy for a long time, but it's a pity that everything has been in recession in the past two years. I searched several stores but couldn't find one selling ham.
It's rare to meet such an old ham today, I'm going to show off my skills."
Xiangyun was so happy to see Lie Xin that she couldn't wait to show Zhang Yu and the others her skills.
Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Then I'll wait to taste Grandma Xiangyun's craftsmanship."
Speaking of which, this old ham has some origins. It was a coincidence that he and Wu Chuan went out for shopping one time. Because there was a small problem with the batch of supplies, they stayed in the guest house for two days.
That time when I was out wandering around, I happened to meet a local wealthy family who was moving out and left the things they couldn't take with them to the housekeeper as a reward for letting him take care of the house.
But the housekeeper was not a foolish and loyal person. When he saw that his master's family had all run away, he was also worried that the dirty things he had done for the master's family for so many years would be revealed, and he also wanted to run away.
But he didn't have any wishful thinking about running out of the country like his master, he just wanted to find a place where no one knew him and settle down.
Before running away, I contacted many people privately and wanted to exchange all the things that can be sold here into gold and silver. If it is not possible, I can exchange it into money.
When Zhang Yu was wandering around, he somehow ended up near that house, and then he was dragged in as a buyer.
After walking around for a while, Zhang Yu didn't take a fancy to anything else but the three old hams hanging in the warehouse next to the kitchen.
This thing was not a rare thing at that time, and you could still buy it if you looked carefully. The few people who came to "purchase" the house still looked down upon these things and did not compete with him.
The housekeeper has seen a lot. He has been pulling things from the master's house for so many years. His pocket is still very rich, not to mention that after selling the things in the house, he can still earn a lot of money, so the three
The old ham was not worth mentioning to him, but he felt it would affect his ability to run away, so he sold it to Zhang Yu at a low price together with the remaining ingredients in the warehouse.
After Zhang Yu took over the ham, he saw that the people who came to "take out" the house were a little angry, and they seemed to get into a fight if they disagreed. Zhang Yu, who had not seen much of the world at the time, was shocked and quickly took the ham.
The ham he bought was peeling.
As for what happened next, he had no idea at all.
He didn't know how to handle ham, so he kept it in the static space after buying it. When I came to visit the old housekeeper and his wife this time, I thought of Grandma Xiangyun's good craftsmanship and thought she should be able to handle ham, so I found it just now.
come out.
Xiangyun looked at the ham on the table and praised it: "You can tell it's Jinhua ham at a glance. Look at how well-made this ham is. It looks like a pipa."
Xiangyun stood up the ham and introduced it to Zhang Yu and the old housekeeper who were standing next to him.
Seeing the confusion on the old butler's face, Xiangyun couldn't help but laugh: "You have loved eating ham all your life, don't you still know what Jinhua ham is?"
"How can I distinguish that one clearly? Besides, aren't they all ham? What's the difference? This one just looks better. Let me tell you, ham should be delicious."
The old housekeeper was a little dissatisfied with his wife's joke and retorted in a low voice.
"That's different. Jinhua ham is the originator of all kinds of ham, and it existed in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
In the early days, this Jinhua ham was a tribute, and most people couldn't even eat it."
Seeing the dissatisfaction on the old butler's face, Xiangyun patiently explained: "Jinhua ham mainly uses the hind leg meat of the well-bred pig 'Liangtouwu' produced in Jinhua. It has thin skin and fine bones, an appropriate proportion of meat and fat, tender muscles, and delicious meat.
The lean meat of Jinhua ham that has been marinated through various procedures is salty and sweet, and the fat meat is fragrant but not greasy. You will know after I cut it open."
Seeing the old housekeeper's nonchalant look, Xiangyun shook his head helplessly and decided to prove it with the truth.
