In the kitchen, several cooks were busy doing things, washing and chopping vegetables, and lighting the stove. Talking while doing things.
"We will live in the inner city in the future." The cook who cut the vegetables smiled.
The yearning of the people in the capital for the inner city is just like Xu Lingyin's yearning for food. Those who live in the outer city are not necessarily at the bottom of society, but those who live in the inner city are definitely from well-to-do families.
Regardless of people's livelihood and security, the inner city is far better than the outer city, and there are almost no such things as slums in the inner city. There is no need for the little lady to be frightened when she goes out shopping.
Seeing a secluded alley, you can go in boldly. Of course, this kind of thing is not worth advocating.
"Da Lang is really promising. I heard from my wife that the house costs five thousand taels." The cook who washed the vegetables spoke up.
"Five thousand taels? That's about the same as our house." said the cook who was lighting the fire.
"What do you know?" the cook who washed the vegetables spat, "I heard from Madam that the house costs at least seven thousand taels, which is more grand than ours."
As for why it only cost 5,000 taels, it is of course Dalang¡¯s ability. He is a watchman, so it is easy to buy a house at a low price.
"Madam told us that she will take us to live in the inner city in a few days. Let me tell you, the inner city is very prosperous."
Many low-level people living in the outer city rarely have the opportunity to go to the inner city. If they don't ride a horse or take a carriage, it takes one or two hours to travel from the outer city to the inner city with their legs alone. Depart in the afternoon, and it is almost sunset in the inner city.
The servants in the mansion are very much looking forward to moving to the inner city, and they have been working hard these days. Fear of being fired. Unless Lu'e sold her body in Xu's mansion since she was a child, Xu Dalang could sleep with her maid, the rest of the servants signed the contract of living.
"I found one thing" The cook who cut the vegetables suddenly interrupted, and when the two cooks came over, she whispered:
"Madam likes to show off Dalang more and more, and always talks about him, but when Dalang comes back, she will never show good looks."
"Ahem"
Suddenly, a cough came from outside the door, interrupting the chatter of the cooks.
"Why is Da Lang here?" the cooks asked in surprise.
Owners should not come to a greasy and dirty place like the kitchen.
You old mothers really play a lotit's no wonder that my aunt will show off to meXu Qi'an held the bowl in his hand, nodded, and said:
"I made an exclusive recipe, and I'm here to help you cook."
Xu Qi'an swept around. The kitchen wasn't messy, but it wasn't clean either. After all, the walls and stove were stained with a layer of grease that couldn't be wiped off under years of oily smoke.
However, as long as the pots and pans are washed frequently, there is no problem.
"What is this?" The cooks turned their eyes to the bowl in his hand, which was a sticky lump.
"Good thing, don't look at it randomly, this is a unique recipe." Xu Qi'an turned sideways, not showing his treasure to the cooks.
The cook didn't care, and continued to work. Da Lang stayed as long as he liked. He was the master, and he and the others were servants. There was no reason for servants to control the master. Besides, every time Madam quarreled with him, she would roll her eyes angrily.
Except for the master, there is probably only Erlang, who has a mouth that can bloom flowers, who can argue with Dalang.
Xu Qi'an stood by and watched. The first dish was fried pork with winter bamboo shoots. While the cook was stirring it, he scooped a small spoonful of "chicken essence" into it.
Then he took a chopstick and nodded slightly after tasting it.
The umami taste has been improved a lot, but it cannot be compared with real chicken essence.
Guanylic acid and monosodium glutamate complement each other If you want to achieve the taste of the previous life, you still have to develop monosodium glutamate Xu Qi'an is quite satisfied.
Seeing this, the cook took out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, and tasted it carefully.
Her eyes widened instantly, and she forgot to cook.
This smell is both familiar and unfamiliar to her. It tastes like chicken, but chicken can never be this fresh. A small spoonful can actually improve the umami taste of the bamboo shoots by several levels, which cannot be achieved by high soup.
Xu Qi'an took a look at her, and grabbed the spoon to stir-fry the vegetables so that they wouldn't get mushy.
"It seemsdelicious?" The other two cooks were a little moved and looked at her.
"It's so delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious dish" The cook said excitedly
In the front hall, Xu Lingyue came over with her meal in hand, looked around, and said softly, "Where's big brother?"
Usually at this time, the elder brother was already sitting at the table waiting for the meal to be served, teasing Xu Lingyin by the way, and swaying her fatally in the creaking nest.
?The last duty is to patrol the streets.
"Ning Yan, you haven't been to the Jiaofang Division for a while." The taciturn Zhu Guangxiao said suddenly.
Because now I have the illusion that it's not that I'm prostitution, but they are prostitution to meXu Qi'an said helplessly: "I feel that I'm about to reach the peak of the Qi training realm, and I plan to try to hit the God refining realm."
At the peak of Qi trainingZhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng stared at him blankly.
The two of them are also at the peak of Qi training, it is not difficult, as long as they accumulate time and time, it is only a matter of time before they reach the peak.
The difficult thing is to accumulate meritorious deeds in exchange for visualization maps.
?But Xu Qi'an has only joined the team for two months, and he has reached the peak of Qi training. What kind of qualification is this?
"Then you have to accumulate meritorious deeds." Song Tingfeng said sourly, and then added depressed: "But with your savings from the Sangbo case to now, I feel that it is enough."
"Yeah." Xu Qi'an lightly changed the topic: "I plan to save up for two weeks before going to the Jiaofang Division."
The Jiaofang Division is always the best topic for their lively atmosphere, Song Tingfeng winked: "That girl Fuxiang is guilty."
She won't suffer, she just overflows, just like the right sideXu Qi'an glanced at the right side.
Walking and talking, when they came to the gate of the yamen, the eyes of the three were attracted by a burly and tall monk in blue monk clothes.
His monk's robe was a bit worn out, a thick Buddhist bead was hanging around his neck, and there were two rows of scars on his bald head. He looked bitter and bitter.
It was Monk Hengyuan.
Seeing Xu Qi'an coming out, Heng Yuan's eyes lit up, he strode forward to greet him, and clasped his hands together: "Master Xu."
Don't borrow, get outXu Qi'an interrupted him, and said helplessly: "Master Hengyuan, I have official duties, let's make a long story short. I only have a monthly salary of five taels of silver, and my pocket is too shy."
While speaking, he looked down and saw that Hengyuan's cloth shoes were torn, with two toes sticking out.
It turned out that they were looking for Ning Yan to borrow moneySong Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao stared at Hengyuan with unfriendly expressions.
Seeing Xu Qi'an's straightforward refusal, Heng Yuan was silent for a long time, then bowed and said, "The poor monk knows."
? Seeing the back of the great monk leaving, Xu Qi'an thought for no reason that when he was in middle school, his father who ran all the way to school to deliver food to him, and after he complained with a disgusted face that the food was not delivered in time, was also the back of leaving alone.
"Heywait a minute," Xu Qi'an called to him, and let out a sigh of relief: "How much money do I need to borrow this time, let me be clear first, I don't want to borrow too much money, I really don't have much money recently."
