Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate

Chapter 44

Mr. Wu entered the room and sat down. Jiang Yunzhu brought him four dishes, one fried pork, one Kung Pao chicken, one fried cabbage, and a stewed meat platter, which included boneless duck feet, pig tails, duck Four kinds of gizzards and beef tendon.

And a bowl of rice, a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.

These four dishes look ordinary, but there are unusual things everywhere.

Just like this stir-fried cabbage, Mr. Wu has eaten it all over the country, even in the imperial dining room in the palace many times, but this stir-fried cabbage can be cooked to such a high temperature, and the total amount does not exceed two hands.

And this stewed meat platter, this is duck feet, right? Looking at the curled up appearance, it seems that the bones have been removed. This is the first time Mr. Wu has seen duck feet like this.

Mr. Wu was curious, so he grabbed a duck paw and ate it first.

Fragrant, spicy, elastic, waxy!

He ate another piece of pig tail.

Different tastes, but equally delicious.

Stir-fried cabbage, sure enough, as he guessed, this technique has reached perfection, basically no seasoning is added, only the taste of cabbage itself, but it is extremely refreshing and luscious.

Mr. Wu couldn’t help but glanced at Jiang Yunzhu, and asked, “You did it?”

“Yes, how is the old man eating?”

Mr. Wu stared at her. This skill would not be at this level if it hadn’t been taught by a famous teacher and practiced hard for many years. Of course, there is another possibility, the Dao is natural, and the complexity is simplified. This girl is born with this kind of wisdom.

Mr. Wu felt that Jiang Yunzhu was the latter, and he couldn’t help but feel a twitch in his heart. He had been wandering for half his life, and he didn’t even have a successor. This girl…

Thinking of this, his face became much better, and he said, “It’s delicious.”

Jiang Yunzhu’s eyes were full of water. It was really not easy to get the words Mr. Wu. If the old man is happy eating, will he help old man Chen to heal his illness? Of course, she wouldn’t say it out loud, as if she was too eager for quick success.

It’s better to wait for Mr. Wu to mention it himself.

“Eat more if it tastes good.” She just said.

Mr. Wu was already hungry. He just ate two bites, and his appetite became even bigger. He immediately stopped talking and started to eat.

There were four dishes, each of which was not much. After a while, he finished all the dishes, a bowl of rice, and finally drank half a bowl of soup.

After eating, he sat there stroking his stomach, only to realize belatedly that he had to be seventy percent full after eating, and he was not suitable for health preservation like this.

It was all because the dishes were so delicious, he picked up the tea bowl resentfully, and drank tea slowly.

This tea doesn’t taste good, he thought.

Indeed, Jiang’s tea only buys some tea foam, so there is no good taste.

At this time, Jiang Yunzhu and the others also started to eat. Mr. Chen had bad eyesight, so Mrs. Chen told him what dishes were on the table, and then asked him which one he would like to eat.

Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen helped him.

Jiang Yunzhu watched from the side, and quietly took a look at Mr. Wu. Mr. Chen’s eyes were obviously sick, wouldn’t he want to help take a look? Or did those dishes not impress him?

Indeed, those dishes are just some home-cooked dishes. Mr. Wu has a high vision, so naturally he doesn’t like them.

Jiang Yunzhu wondered if he should make him the dish prepared in his dream.

In the Anping Marquis Mansion in the dream, Lin Ting’an wanted to ask Mr. Wu to see a doctor. Finding someone was one thing, but how to persuade him was another.

Jiang Yunzhu knew that Mr. Wu loved to eat and play, so he thought about a dish carefully, trying to impress him.

It’s a pity that no one was found at all in the end, and her dish was useless.

Right now.

However, how to make that dish reasonably requires careful consideration.

Jiang Yunzhu was thinking wildly, but he didn’t know that after Mr. Wu finished eating those dishes, he already wanted to see a doctor for Mr. Chen. It’s just that he thought that Shen Fengming kidnapped him probably to see a doctor for Mr. Chen, and if he showed him, didn’t he follow his wishes?

Don’t watch it, don’t watch it, at least not now.

After Shen Fengming leaves, he will look again.

He thought so.

“The old man is alone, where are you going to go in such a cold day? If there is nothing important, why not stay here for a few more days.” Jiang Yunzhu said.

Mr. Wu was thinking about this, so he nodded immediately.

The two hit it off.

There are two side rooms in the courtyard, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng lived in one, and the other room was used for storing sundries, Jiang Yunzhu immediately cleaned it up and gave it to Mr. Wu to live in.

In the near future, Gu Yanzhou came to teach Jiang Lin and others how to read.

After Jiang Yunzhu studied for a while, he lied that he had learned it, and then stopped learning from him.

Today, she was walking back and forth in the main room.

“Little lotus just showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies have already stood on it.” Gu Yanzhou taught Jiang Lin and others to recite ancient poems.

Hearing this, Jiang Yunzhu finally found a reason, sat at the table, and said to Gu Yanzhou, “These two poems sound very nice. And listening to you reading it, I seem to see a piece of sharp lotus in a pond. The leaf has just emerged from the water, and it looks like a dragonfly is standing on it.”

Gu Yanzhou’s starry eyes flickered, “Good poetry really makes people feel like they are there.”

Jiang Yunzhu said as if thinking of something, “You said that, I suddenly thought of cooking, can cooking be like this?”

Gu Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, and put down his book, “Of course, there was a female chef in the Five Dynasties, named Fanzheng, and she was best at making dishes into beautiful scenery.

The “Wangchuan Picture” she made was praised as “there are mountains and rivers on the dishes, and poems on the plates”.

Wangchuan is the place where Wang Wei lives in seclusion, with beautiful scenery.

Wang Wei is a famous poet, and he has written many poems describing the place where he lives, such as the famous line “the grass is green in the rain, and the peach blossoms are red in the water” and so on.

Fanzheng made the scenery in his poems into dishes, which were lifelike and lifelike. What’s more rare is that there are 20 guests on the table, and the dishes in front of each of them are different, but they can be connected together, which is really ingenious. “

Jiang Yunzhu was eager to hear it, and said, “I want to try it too.”

Gu Yanzhou smiled, it is not so easy, throughout the ages, there is only Fanzheng, but he couldn’t bear to hit Jiang Yunzhu, so he said, “Okay. If you need help, you can tell me.”

Jiang Yunzhu really did, “Can you talk more about Wang Wei’s poems, I’ll see if you have any ideas.”

Of course Gu Yanzhou was fine, so he read it immediately.

He is the number one scholar, and he knows all these poems by heart.

When Jiang Yunzhu heard the phrase “The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow” the secret channel finally came, and immediately said, “This sentence is very nice.”

Gu Yanzhou explained to her the source of this poem and the situation Wang Wei was in when he wrote it.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and they seemed to be having a good time, while Yang Sheng looked at Shen Fengming and pouted.

Shen Fengming also saw the two people in the main room, he got up and walked out.

Yang Sheng followed slowly.

“Miss Jiang.” Shen Fengming entered the room and said to Jiang Yunzhu.

Jiang Yunzhu raised his head and looked at him questioningly.

Shen Fengming glanced at the table, “How is Miss Jiang’s calligraphy?”

Jiang Yunzhu: …It feels like being checked by a teacher, even though the teacher only taught her for a few days.

“Ms. Jiang is very smart. She has already learned a lot about recipes and bookkeeping.” Gu Yanzhou accepted the words with a smile.

“Oh?” Shen Fengming looked at him with a kind of scrutiny.

Gu Yanzhou put away his smile, his expression became tense, and he felt a strange sense of oppression. He also looked at Shen Fengming, he has a handsome face and a tall and straight figure, especially he has a special temperament, like a mountain like a sea.

Is such a person just a merchant from the capital? Gu Yanzhou pursed his lips. He had also traveled to the capital for a study tour before, and he had met some noble sons in the capital, but there was no one like Shen Fengming.

“Miss Jiang, didn’t Yuyu teach you how to read before? Now that we’re back, let him teach you. As for Mr. Gu, I think the big exam is more important.” Yang Sheng was impatient with them looking around, Tell Jiang Yunzhu directly.

Speaking of the word “Yuyu”, he felt very awkward, he had never called Shen Fengming that way before.

Just suddenly, he thought again, Jiang Yunzhu’s name has the word Zhu, and Shen Fengming’s name is jade, Zhu Yu Zhu Yu, it really is fate.

He was pleased with his unique vision.

Of course the others didn’t know that he had already thought about it. Shen Fengming and Gu Yanzhou all looked at Jiang Yunzhu when they heard what he said.

They argued about this matter last time, this time, there is no need to argue, just wait for Jiang Yunzhu to decide.

Jiang Yunzhu was looking for an opportunity to tell Gu Yanzhou about it, so she said, “It is true that the final exam is more important.”

“But…” Gu Yanzhou wanted to explain.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, “Thank you Mr. Gu for your teaching these days, in fact, I have discussed with my mother a few days ago, and I will save some money in a few days and send Jiang Lin and the others to school.

As for me, I think I can keep accounts and know the recipes. “

“Miss Jiang, you don’t have to despise yourself so much. With your intelligence, you will surely achieve something in time.” Gu Yanzhou persuaded her.

Jiang Yunzhu felt ashamed. The “smartness” she showed was because she had studied modern Chinese for more than ten years, and she really couldn’t do it if she was asked to delve into those classical Chinese.

But she couldn’t say it clearly, so she said, “I think it’s good if I concentrate on one thing, otherwise I always feel that I don’t have enough time.”

Everyone knows that she likes to cook and study dishes, so she uses this as a shield.

“Concentrate on one thing?” Gu Yanzhou repeated, feeling that he still underestimated Jiang Yunzhu, yes, people’s energy is limited, so do what you like, and then do it well, isn’t it good?

“I was the one who was abrupt.” He looked at Jiang Yunzhu and said in relief. His eyes are flowing like spring water, making people feel like spring breeze.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled at him, and thanked him, “I still want to thank Mr. Gu for teaching us all these days.” Then she looked at Shen Fengming again, “Mr. Shen, I…” She felt that she had made it very clear.

“En.” Shen Fengming nodded.

The matter passed like this, and then Jiang Yunzhu began to tinker with her dish.

When Gu Yanzhou learned that she was really going to make a dish corresponding to that poem, she also became interested and watched it from the sidelines.

Yang Sheng also found it interesting and stood aside.

After a while, even Mr. Wu came, he pushed Gu Yanzhou and Yang Sheng aside, stretched his neck to watch Jiang Yunzhu do it.

Jiang Yunzhu: …with so many people watching, she was under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, she had been preparing this dish for a long time in the Anping Hou Mansion in her dream, and she had cooked it several times. This time, she occasionally made mistakes, but the general direction was still right.

Make the moon first, and use white radish for this one. Of course, it’s not just carving the white radish into the shape of the moon. Make a pot of soup, and then pour the soup on the processed white radish to let it become ripe and tasty.

When it comes out of the pan, sprinkle some chicken oil to make the white radish look as bright and moist as a white jade plate.

The method of this radish is made by referring to the method of boiled cabbage in modern state banquets. The broth uses various meaty things, but the final radish is not oily at all. It looks extremely light, but it is actually full of flavor.

This piece of radish alone made Mr. Wu’s eyes full of splendor. Sure enough, the road is as simple as it gets!

Then Jiang Yunzhu started to make pine trees and cliffs.

When it was time to prepare dinner, she made dinner again.

“Make this first, what’s the rush for dinner!” Seeing that the dish was about to be done, Mr. Wu said anxiously.

“The guests have ordered meals at noon.” Jiang Yunzhu said.

Mr. Wu really wanted to say, no matter who ordered the meal, wait for him. But thinking of his current identity as just an old man passing by, he held back again. He wasn’t afraid to tell Jiang Yunzhu that he was Wu Xingwei, but in case Jiang Yunzhu found out and asked him to cure old man Chen’s eyes, would he agree or not?

He didn’t want to go along with Shen Fengming’s wishes. So, he could only wait patiently, scratching his head.

After much difficulty, Jiang Yunzhu finished cooking dinner and made this dish again.

Until the moon rabbit rose east, this “bright moon and clear spring” was finally finished.

Jiang Yunzhu took it out of the kitchen, and saw a bright moon hanging on the cliff, reflecting the bright moon in the sky, a tall and straight pine forest, with a few rocks in the middle, and a winding clear spring flowing slowly on the rocks.

The cliffs, pine forests, and stones are all lifelike, and the most peculiar thing is the clear spring, which is really flowing slowly and sparkling under the reflection of the moonlight.

“‘Bright moon shines among the pines, clear spring stones flow upward’, what a ‘bright moon and clear spring’.” Yang Sheng was the first to praise. Seeing this dish, he seemed to have really seen the beauty described in the poem.

Gu Yanzhou also looked at this dish in surprise. He said that Fanzheng once made the “Wangchuan Picture”, but after all, it was hundreds of years ago, and he had never really seen it, but Jiang Yunzhu made this “Mingyue Tu Qingquan”, but he saw it with his own eyes.

At this time Shen Fengming was also there, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

Mr. Wu was even more amazed, looked here and there, and finally patted his head and said, “I’m not willing to eat it anymore.”

“It tastes better than it looks.” Jiang Yunzhu said.

Mr. Wu only felt that her words seemed to be the temptation of the devil, and he tentatively said, “Then why not, let me try it?”

Jiang Yunzhu handed him the chopsticks.

Mr. Wu wanted to taste the radish for a long time, so he immediately picked it up with chopsticks.

Unexpectedly, the radish turned out to be very soft and rotten, and he easily picked up a piece. Put it in your mouth, there is no spicy taste of radish at all, only various fresh aromas and sweet taste of radish, refreshing.

“Delicious!” He praised immediately.

Others saw that a piece of the moon was missing, so they started to eat with chopsticks. The cliffs, pine forests, stones, and even the clear spring are all dishes, and each dish has a different taste, but they all have an extraordinary taste. Eating all the way, there is a feeling of Suzhou gardens, one step at a time, one step at a time, and it is really wonderful.

Soon, one dish was eaten up.

Yang Sheng looked at Jiang Yunzhu with burning eyes, he felt that if his boss was not good enough, he could come and bring Jiang Yunzhu back to the capital, at least he would be able to eat delicious meals every day in the future.

He felt that his mother would also like Jiang Yunzhu.

At this time, he suddenly felt a chill, turned his head and saw Shen Fengming looking at him, he laughed twice.

Jiang Yunzhu was not in the mood to watch other people’s reactions, she just stared at Mr. Wu. Is the old man satisfied? Can it be cured?

Mr. Wu was extremely satisfied, but he still couldn’t treat Mr. Chen’s illness.

He pondered for a while, and asked Jiang Yunzhu, “Do you want to worship me as a teacher?”

Jiang Yunzhu froze there, it was completely different from what she thought! Mr. Wu wants to take her as his apprentice? This is certainly an opportunity that many people only dream of. But she doesn’t want to study medicine.

“The old man can also cook?” Jiang Yunzhu hoped that old man Wu would say that he knew medical skills, so she went down the donkey and begged him to cure old man Chen’s eyes, and everyone was happy.

Mr. Wu hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Stewing soup with **** is considered cooking, right? Although, he hasn’t caught that **** yet, but sooner or later he will catch it.

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, “In the future, if I have a chance, I must ask the old man for advice.” This was a tactful refusal.

Mr. Wu is not angry either, there will be a chance.

The two chatted with the duck for a while, and it was getting late, so everyone dispersed.

Jiang Yunzhu was busy all afternoon and was really tired. She didn’t think about anything else, so she went to wash up and get ready for bed.

Gu Yanzhou went home, and Yang Sheng took Jiang Yunzhu’s plate of vegetables back to the house, trying to figure out why the clear spring flowed.

Shen Fengming also went to wash up, and got ready to sleep after washing up.

Next to the well in the yard, he suddenly stopped there. After a while, a person turned out from behind the house, it was Mr. Wu.

He observed for an entire afternoon, and finally understood why Shen Fengming had tied him up to see a doctor for Mr. Chen, and he had something wrong with Jiang Yunzhu.

He snorted coldly, it was rumored in central Beijing that the Commander of the Qilin Guards made Shen Fengming not close to women, why, but here he was playing tricks with a girl? Are you still hiding your identity, afraid that the girl will come to your door in the future?

Then he might as well kill the person directly, not once and for all.

Anyway, he was used to killing people.

Do you still want him to help cure the disease and please the girl? Go dreaming!

Shen Fengming felt that Mr. Wu’s face was not looking well, and he frowned slightly.

“You want me to help you treat your illness?” Old Master Wu asked Shen Fengming.

“En.” Shen Fengming agreed.

“Stay away from that girl.” Mr. Wu said directly.

Shen Fengming looked at him with cold eyes.

Mr. Wu is in a hurry, this sanctimonious beast in clothes! Of course he would not believe that Shen Fengming really liked Jiang Yunzhu, he just thought he was trying to trick Jiang Yunzhu.

A gust of north wind blew past, making people’s bones tremble, and he said, “If you want me to heal your illness, well, you should stand here for one night first, otherwise, I won’t be able to heal anyone related to you in the future.

Even if I die! “Mr. Wu is not afraid of death. He has seen life and death through the years of being a doctor.

His words were intended to embarrass Shen Fengming, firstly, to avenge him for kidnapping him, and secondly, to prove Shen Fengming’s hypocrisy.

“If I stand up, will you treat the old man?” Shen Fengming asked.

“If you stand up, I may help him treat his illness. If you don’t stand up, then…” Of course it will be treated, but it will be treated later.

Shen Fengming didn’t know what was going on in his heart, but he knew that his temper was so weird, he hesitated a little, and said, “Okay!”

“I knew you…” Mr. Wu didn’t finish his sentence when he heard the phrase “yes”.

He was stunned, he really didn’t expect Shen Fengming to agree.

But Shen Fengming stopped talking, put down the basin and stood there, as if he really planned to stand there all night.

Mr. Wu looked him up and down, then snorted, turned and went back to his room.

After a while, Yang Sheng was about to fall asleep, seeing that Shen Fengming hadn’t entered the house yet, he went out to look for him, and saw him standing there motionless.

“What are you doing?” Yang Sheng asked.

Shen Fengming didn’t want to explain to him, “You go to sleep?”

“then you.”

“Do not bother me.”

“I don’t care about you…”

Yang Sheng and Shen Fengming looked at each other, and the rest of the words were suppressed. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, “You can do whatever you want, I’ll go back to sleep.” He knew that there must be a reason for Shen Fengming to do things, but he didn’t say anything, so he didn’t ask.

But he went back and brought him a big cloak. This cloak was made of silver fox fur, it couldn’t blow through the wind, and it was the best way to keep him warm.

Jiang Yunzhu was lying under the blanket, maybe it was because she was too tired from doing the “Bright Moon and Clear Spring” today, or maybe it was because Mr. Wu didn’t say that he would treat Mr. Chen’s illness in the end, so she tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep.

She opened her eyes to see what time it is. Through the window, she saw, a person?

She hurried to the window and looked out carefully.

Through the moonlight, she saw that it was indeed a person, he was standing by the well, it was Shen Fengming!

what does he do Several thoughts flashed through Jiang Yunzhu’s mind, but none of them seemed reliable.

She looked at him, to see what he was going to do, when he might come back to the house.

As a result, he just stood there like a statue.

Nothing will happen, right? She quickly put on her clothes, lifted a lantern, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

The sky was dark, and the lantern emitted a warm yellow light, shining on her face.

Shen Fengming looked towards her when there was any movement in her room, and seeing her approaching with a lantern at this moment, his eyebrows and eyes slightly raised.

The warm yellow light was getting closer and closer, seeming to dispel the darkness and coldness on his body.

“Are you okay?” Jiang Yunzhu raised the lantern and asked.

“It’s okay.” Shen Fengming replied.

“Then you?” What is this, Jiang Yunzhu wanted to ask.

Shen Fengming looked at her, because she raised the lantern up, and the light illuminated her eyebrows and eyes more clearly.

“I never thought about getting married before,” he said.

Jiang Yunzhu was stunned, where did he say that? But it seems that, seven years later in the dream, he is still alone.

Shen Fengming lowered his eyes, “My mother doesn’t like my father, and so does my father. The two of them would quarrel every day. When I was young, I didn’t understand why they were still together since they hated each other so much.

I’m tired of them arguing too. At this point, he stopped. He had never told anyone these words, but now he wanted to tell her.

Jiang Yunzhu had never met Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen, but he had heard that they seemed to be married politically. The Shen family was a big family and had a pivotal position in the Xia Dynasty. At that time, the current emperor was still an unfavored prince.

When his younger sister married into the Shen family, it was equivalent to having the support of the Shen family.

Jiang Yunzhu didn’t know what to say, since ancient times, things in the emperor’s family have been like this.

She frowned and pursed her lips.
