Chapter 844

...

The courtyard of the county magistrate Jiangbeiting is extremely lively today.

Dozens of servants and servants all squeezed in the kitchen door to see the strange things.

Because Mr. Xu, who had just come to Pei County for a blind date today, is now rolling up his sleeves and working in the kitchen to cook. Several kitchen chefs are helping, running in and out and back and forth to help prepare various seasonings and tableware.

Even the county Zunjiang Beiting stood at the kitchen door with his wife, son and daughter, and watched the "son-in-law" wearing clothes and hats work excitedly inside.

"Husband, my son-in-law is here for the first time. This... isn't it too rude to do this?"

The wife of Jiangbeiting, Qiu, was over 30 years old, and was considered a standard middle-aged beauty. At this time, she looked at Chen Xu, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, and her mouth was opened and she had never closed.

Although she has been living in Xianyang, she has never met Chen Xu. Jiang believes in Confucianism and has many rules at home. Therefore, Qiu does not go out much when she is at home to take care of her husband and children. Although she hears the name of Qinghe Hou hundreds of times every day, she only hears it. Even when she arrives in Peixian, two thousand miles away from Xianyang, she still hears the name of Qinghe Hou several times every day. However, it is suddenly in front of her now, but he doesn't know him at all. Moreover, she likes this handsome little sister-in-law who suddenly falls from the sky at first sight, but after a few words, the new sister-in-law comes in and chats and starts cooking, which makes her feel that the sky is falling.

The man who likes to cook seems to be the only one in the world, the legendary Qinghe Hou. Unexpectedly, his son-in-law also likes to cook. I don’t know how Jiang will face it after this incident is spread.

Jiang Beiting also grabbed his beard and laughed and said to Qiu in a low voice: "Madam, don't be upset. My son-in-law is probably influenced by the Marquis of Qinghe. In fact... men love to cook... that... that... is also very good... very good. We are just waiting for a meal made by my son-in-law... It must be extremely delicious, hiss~"

Jiang Beiting finally swallowed uncontrollably because as Chen Xu, onion, ginger, garlic, mustard and various secret sauce and spices were put into the pot, and the cleaned crabs were put into the pot and stir-fryed, a strong and extremely fragrant smell filled the entire kitchen, and soon drifted into the entire kitchen in the evening breeze.

"Gudong~"

"Gudong~"

All the servants watching in the yard began to swallow their saliva, and their eyes flashed as they looked at the kitchen.

"Wow, it smells so good. My son-in-law can cook the claw-filled lake crab so delicious, I can't help it!"

"It's a pity that I can't eat it, alas!"

"I can't walk just by smelling this fragrance!"

The servants outside the kitchen gathered together and swallowed and discussed.

Jiang Chuxing was very excited. The Queen of Qinghe was said to be a food celebrity among the people of Daqin. She is the world's most famous food craftsman. The food she made is also known to everyone. However, Jiang Chuxing has known him for so long, but he only had a few meals of noodles, buns and dumplings in Qinghe Town.

But these pastries have long become ordinary foods. The delicacies on the menu circulated in Qinghe Hotel in Xianyang are the real foods. Five-spice snails, donkey meat firewood, spring rolls and fried crabs are all just snacks to taste and cannot be served on the table.

Unfortunately, I have never eaten it before, but today I actually had the opportunity to eat the delicacy made by Qinghehou himself. I have to say it was luck.

Jiang Chuyue was wearing a light blue silk skirt and leaning quietly against the kitchen door frame. Looking at the young man who was working inside and sweating on his forehead, his beautiful eyes never moved away from beginning to end. Everyone inside and outside the kitchen seemed to not exist, only Chen Xu's every move flowed deep in her eyes.

After three years, he looks much more mature, but he is still so unique, unlike all the ordinary people he has seen, making her so obsessed that she can't extricate herself.

"Wow~~"

Chen Xu poured a scoop of water into the pot, then put some fresh lotus root slices and stir-fry for a few times, then covered the pot and said to a chef next to him, "Look, cook for a while, and then the soup is dried and you can get the pot!"

"Okay, son-in-law!" The chef nodded quickly.

Chen Xu turned around and opened a pot of clay pot next to him, added water, put in green onions, ginger, and pepper, and then added a small amount of peppercorns. Then he cut a few kilograms of clean loaches and poured them in, covered them with a lid and told them to heat over high heat and cook them.

As time goes by, the big pot and clay pot in the kitchen begin to emit a stronger fragrance, and the clay pot is rumbling and hot air is constantly coming out. Chen Xu occasionally uncovers the lid and tests with chopsticks. When he is free, he will smile and give some advice and exchanges with a few kitchen workers, and a group of cooks will continue to nod.

"Take the spiced leaves over!"

As time passed, Chen Xu felt that the loach had been stewed almost as much as possible, so he ordered the chef to put the cleaned fresh and tender five-spice leaves into the pottery jar and cover it with a lid to continue cooking. Soon a more attractive fragrance emanated, and the family servants seduced again were swallowing their saliva.

"My sister-in-law, can you eat it?" Jiang Chuxing, who was standing outside the kitchen, could no longer help it, and squeezed to Chen Xu and stared at the big pot and the clay pot and licked his mouth.

"Uncle, wait..."

Chen Xu opened the lid of the big pot, looked at the dried crabs inside, picked up half of them with chopsticks as if no one was around and tasted them, then closed his eyes slightly nodded: "Well, the taste is good. This lake crab is fat and tender, and it is really delicious to make a dry pot spicy crab. I'll try it!"

"Okay!" Jiang Chuxing couldn't wait to pick up a pair of chopsticks and pick up half of the crab from the pot. He immediately opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Um... delicious, fresh, fragrant... so delicious..."

"Gudong~Gudong~"

The two of them tasted in the kitchen, and a group of servants began to swallow their saliva again. Even Jiang Beiting couldn't help but move his Adam's apple a few times, feeling that he was almost hungry.

"Husband, the lake crab made by my son-in-law is indeed fragrant and fragrant..." Qiu clutched Jiang Beiting's arm and said softly.

"Hehe, that's natural. The husband I found for Yue'er is not an ordinary person!" Jiang Beiting was almost taking the real thing he arranged for the fake play seriously.

"Okay, prepare to go out of the pot and start eating!"

As the sound of people swallowing in the yard, Chen Xu tasted another lotus root slice after eating the crab and then threw down the chopsticks to give instructions, so several kitchen workers quickly got up.

Soon a pot of dried spicy crabs and a pot of five-spice stewed loach were brought into the restaurant and placed on the dining table. Several servants also brought the cooked rice and some other vegetables to the table, and all the bowls and chopsticks were carefully placed.

After nearly an hour of busy work, Chen Xu finally completed the task. He took off his clothes and hat, washed his hands and came to the restaurant. Jiang Beiting and his family were ready to sit down together.

"Go and get the red wine. Since there is such a delicious food, I want to drink a few glasses with my son-in-law!" Jiang Beiting happily ordered his maid to take over the red wine he had collected for a long time, and pour a glass of red wine for Chen Xu himself.

"You're polite, father-in-law!" Since it was an acting, Chen Xu decided to finish the performance according to the script of Jiang Beiting's family, and stood up and saluted respectfully at Jiang Beiting.

"Haha, don't use so much courtesy for your son-in-law!" Jiang Beiting glanced at his daughter happily, and then handed the bottle in his hand to Jiang Chuxing.

Judging from Chen Xu's appearance, he seemed to have no disgust for his daughter. Moreover, his daughter has changed a lot in the past three years. She is no longer the way she used to be. Maybe she will have the chance to make the fake drama real this time.

Do you want to get Qinghehou drunk tonight, and then...

When Jiang Beiting thought of this, he suddenly became excited.

My daughter's marriage is now a thorn in his heart. As he gets older, although he is becoming more and more handsome, his personality is becoming more and more taciturn. He takes the opportunity to make a mature rice meal. According to his understanding of Chen Xu, it is very likely to marry his daughter. If you don't expect to be a common wife, even if you are a concubine, it is better than not being able to marry like this, because if you continue to stay at home like this, your daughter will definitely become a laughing stock between princes and princes.

"Come on, the son-in-law is here from afar. Let's drink a drink first to welcome the son-in-law!" Jiang Beiting smiled slightly, but there was nervousness and helplessness in the cunning.

"Please treat my father-in-law~" Chen Xu didn't care. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then picked up the chopsticks and started to eat it voraciously.

We started from Xianyang and slept in the open. Although it was a supreme honor to accompany the emperor to tour, it was indeed hard. Traveling around seemed leisurely, but it was hard, but it was hard to eat and sleep well. In the past month, everyone had almost lost weight. Like Chen Xu, he felt that the beard on his chin had grown apart and was no longer so smooth when he felt.

I am only eighteen years old, so should I have to have a beard? Well, it seems that I have to shave my razor after I go back. My ideal is to be a young man for the rest of my life. How can I keep a beard? It is inconvenient to eat and eat, and it is inconvenient to kiss a few wives.

With the current food, Chen Xu is ready to throw his arms around and make up for the hard work of more than a month.

"Son-in-law, I'll give you a glass!" I wonder if I was implied by Jiang Beiting, but before Chen Xu finished eating a loach, Jiang Chuxing raised his glass.

"Please, uncle!" Chen Xu could only raise his wine glass.

"My son-in-law has been working hard all the way. This red wine has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood. I will also toast you!" Chen Xu just put down his glass and started to chew a crab, and Qiu also held the glass with both hands.

"Ah, thank you, Mother-in-law!" Chen Xu had no choice but to put the crab down and drink.

"Xu Lang came to visit him from afar. Chu Yue was very grateful. Please drink a cup as a concubine to welcome Xu Lang!" Jiang Chuyue stood up with red cheeks, holding wine in both hands and beautiful eyes staring at Chen Xu as usual, as if she was afraid that Chen Xu would run away in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, thank you Sanniang, please!" Chen Xu had no choice but to raise his head and drink it all over again.

Chen Xu, the loach, hasn't eaten it after traveling through time. Although he knew that it was delicious and nourishing his body, Xianyang did not grow loaches and eels, and he had no chance to eat it. Since he met it on the way today, he became interested in it all at once. He bought this large pot with six or seven kilograms, which was simply stewed with ginger, green onion, garlic, pepper and five spiced leaves. However, it was extremely delicious. The meat was tender and the soup was fragrant. It was much more plump than the loaches dug in the farmland ditch in my hometown before, and it didn't have any mud and fishy smell, and it was very delicious.

As for the spicy crabs in the dry pot, the crabs growing in this big lake are also very rich in crab meat and crab roe. After making, they are not like the dried and shriveled crabs caught in Xiaohe Village and Xianyang. The juice drips down in one bite, which is a very enjoyable thing.

Not to mention that these two dishes were the first time Chen Xu went over, the Jiangbeiting family had never tasted this delicious food. Therefore, several people ate and drank while drinking, and also talked about some interesting stories about the emperor's parade and Pei County. Most of the time, Chen Xu and Jiangbeiting were talking about it. Jiang Chuxing would occasionally interject, while Qiu basically accompanied him to eat and not talk. Jiang Chuyue had almost never changed directions whether he was eating or drinking.

Alas! Jiang Beiting saw it, and could only sigh in his heart while trying hard to persuade Chen Xu to drink, hoping to get him drunk and ruin his daughter a few times, and then relieve the depression in his heart.

Jiang Chuxing seemed to be more diligent than his father. He would have to have a cup of Chen Xu every few bites of food. As the cups and cups were being scrambled, the three men soon drank a full six bottles of wine. Jiang Beiting's face turned red and shaking, and his words began to be unscrupulous.

Jiang Chuxing is very young and strong, and although his skin is red, he is still very excited.

Although Chen Xu was a little drunk, Chen Yizhi's alcohol content was not comparable to those of ancient people who were somewhat allergic to alcohol. After drinking three or four bottles of wine, his face continued to attack the crabs and loaches as usual. The bones and crab shells piled up in front of him were so big that they were like red wine, almost half of them fell into his belly.

Half an hour later, most of the time vegetables were left on the table, but a pot of loach and a pot of spicy crab were eaten at the bottom. Chen Xu was basically full of wine and food, and Jiang Beiting had already drunk the five-member and three words that he could not shake.

"Uncle, my father-in-law seems to be drunk, so I'd better help him to the bedroom to rest first!" Chen Xu saw Jiang Beiting's appearance almost going under the table, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"Xing'er accompanied my son-in-law, I'll take the master to the bedroom!" Qiu's standing up and instructed a few maids to leave with Jiang Beiting.

"Sit down for a while, I'll go and make it easier!" Jiang Chuxing was also dizzy when he drank, and stood up and went out to pee.

There were only two people left in the room.

Facing Jiang Chuyue's straight look, Chen Xu touched his cheek and said, "Why does Miss Chuyue keep looking at me like this today?"

"I haven't seen each other for three years, Xu Lang has not changed much, and he is still different from ordinary people!" Jiang Chuyue said softly with a flush on her cheek.

"Miss Chu Yue, this arrangement is just a show-off. You should call me my name when there is no one. This is more convenient?" Chen Xu said awkwardly.

"Why do you make a show?" Jiang Chuyue's body shook slightly, then slowly stood up and bowed, "Chu Yue couldn't bear to drink and rest first, you... you're tired all the way, so go to rest earlier!"

"Please give me a gift from Miss Chuyue!" Chen Xu nodded, watched Jiang Chuyue leave the restaurant, and then let out a long breath and leaned on the back of the chair in a daze.

Jiang Beiting's arrangement was extremely surprised. Although he thought about meeting Jiang Chuyue on the way here, he had never guessed that such an embarrassing thing would happen.

I thought that when I came to see Jiang Chuyue this time, I was still the willful little girl who would roll her eyes and even draw her sword when she saw him, but I didn’t expect that what I saw was completely different. Jiang Chuyue’s change would be so big, not only became much more beautiful, but also had a quiet and gentle temperament.

"Maybe my current identity is different, right?"

Chen Xu could only comfort himself in his heart like this. Perhaps when he left or there was no one, Jiang Chuyue was still the same Jiang Chuyue.

Chen Xu even felt a little regretful.

I found that I missed the stubborn little girl with a hot temper.

Because of Jiang Chuyue's huge change, he felt indescribable, and his heart felt a little tingling, as if he had lost his soul.

Chen Xu actually didn't have much direct contact with Jiang Chuyue, and there were only seven or eight times in total. The first time was to sell a big snake in Qinghe Town. He rolled his eyes when he first met. The second time was to be kicked in the face in Xiaohe Village. The third time was to stay at Jiangbeiting's house in Zhixian County. He was seen naked and almost started fighting. The fourth time was to be chopped in the Qinghe shop in Wancheng. The last time he met was to harvest wheat in Qinghe Town. It felt like Jiang Chuyue had started to have a huge change. But since that time, the two had never met again. Chen Xu definitely didn't like Jiang Chuyue, but it was definitely not annoying. After all, she was a little girl from a noble family at that time, and the two were in the sky and the other underground. The power and status of the Jiang family were definitely not something he could catch.

Jiang Beiting had the intention to recruit him as his son-in-law, but Chen Xu, a little girl, was too lazy to care about him. What's more, when he met Shui Qingrou later, his thoughts became even more indifferent.

After leaving Wancheng, they have never met again.

"Hey, why are there only my sister-in-law? Where is Sanniang?" Jiang Chuxing, who had returned from peeing, sat down and asked in confusion at the empty restaurant.

"Miss Chu Yue went back to her room to rest. Brother Jiang, you and I are not outsiders. This time I am just a show. Don't call me my sister-in-law, just call me my name!" Chen Xu shook his head with a wry smile.

"Uh~" Jiang Chuxing also smiled bitterly and nodded, "Marty, today's matter is arranged in a hurry. Please forgive me if I don't take good care of it. Don't take Sanniang's affairs to heart, she won't think much about it!"

"That's great. I'm tired of traveling all these days, so I'll go wash and rest. Tomorrow, Brother Jiang will help me become a guide to visit the scenery of Pei County and Dahu!" Chen Xu stood up and said with a smile.
