The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 198 Preserved Eggs and Roast Duck

Someone joining in the fun in the alley recognized Su Ruojin and shouted, "Ajin, are you coming back to your old house?"

The house that the Imperial City Inspector opened the door to was right next door to where Mr. Yang left just now. She was about to squeeze in when she heard her former playmate in the alley asking questions and turned around, "Yes, A Xu."

Took the opportunity to ask: "I remember this is the Qu family. What's the matter?"

Fang Congxu replied: "The Qu family returned to their hometown last year, and this house has been rented several times."

 “Then now…”

Fang Congxu was also curious, "I don't know what's going on?"

Zhao Lan asked Santai to handle the matter, but Su Ruojin looked around and didn't see Santai. After thinking about it, she understood that people like Santai and Huaping were generally unlikely to come forward to do things unless they had no choice. If they How can we catch spies when ordinary people know him?

Sure enough, after a while, the covered gate was opened by the guard guard, and the scene in the yard was quickly exposed to everyone. Several patrolmen were escorting the two men who were hooded. The onlookers couldn't see their faces, and they didn't know. who are they.

Su Ruojin glanced and stretched her head to look behind the guard. She saw a middle-aged man in his thirties being carried by four patrol guards. His face was not covered. She recognized it as Zhang Carpenter at a glance, and tears suddenly flowed from her eyes. When he came out, he opened his mouth to call someone, but was pulled back.

 She turned her head instinctively.

It was Zhao Lan who stood behind her at some point. Most of the onlookers knew him. Of course, as Su Yanli's student, they gave way to him.

 He shook his head almost invisible towards the young lady.

Su Ruojin also knew how powerful it was. He immediately reacted and said what everyone he knew would say: "The little prince is Master Zhang. He made all my brother's walkers."

When Inspector Kong Mu saw Prince Zhao, he quickly came over to salute, "The Soldiers and Horses Department received a report that someone was kidnapped. These two are newly caught gangsters. We were afraid of embarrassing the family, so we asked us to cover their faces. Don’t let anyone you know see it.”

Zhao Lan nodded, "Just do whatever you want."

 “Yes, the little prince.”

Kong Mu turned around to go on an errand, but was pulled back by Su Ruojin, "Master official, how are you doing, Master Zhang?"

"He was drugged and knocked unconscious for a while. He is probably about to wake up. He needs to be taken to the Yamen for questioning. After the transcript is completed, he can be released home."

 Great, it’s okay!

Su Ruojin finally put down the big stone in her heart and turned around to tell Carpenter Zhang's family.

 The onlookers also recognized Carpenter Zhang, and they were all surprised, "Who did Carpenter Zhang offend?"

“Is someone trying to steal his walker drawings?”

 …

Carpenter Zhang sells walkers in this area. Anyone with children has almost all bought his walkers and knows him. Everyone is talking about it, either guessing that he made money and was kidnapped, or that someone is kidnapped. Think about his craftsmanship.

Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin walked out of the crowd and passed by their former playmate. Their eyes fell and they glanced twice before leaving.

Fang Congxu was thirteen or fourteen years old. He was stared at coldly by the noble young master. He broke into a cold sweat and his heart beat with fear. He thought to himself that the Su family had become so prosperous that they wouldn't even talk to her. Fortunately, her mother had even tried to give in. The idea of ​​Ah Jin becoming his wife was simply impossible.

Fang Congxu sighed. In fact, he liked Siniang Yang. He wanted to ask how Siniang was doing just now, but his mother and Mrs. Yang couldn't get along. It was a fantasy to want Siniang to be his wife. He looked at the second wife of the Su family who was leaving. , we obviously played in the mud together when we were young, but why have we become so strange when we grow up?

When he reached the entrance of the alley, there was no one around, so Su Ruojin asked: "Little prince, Carpenter Zhang is guilty of his own crime. This time he escaped safely, but what about the future?"

If the little prince has no idea, Su Ruojin is ready to give Zhang Carpenter a sum of money and let him take his family to a strange place to live anonymously, away from the prying eyes of the Liaoxia people.

The young lady raised her head and looked at him with a pair of almond eyes, waiting for him to make a decision. If he had no idea, the young lady seemed to have already found a way out for Carpenter Zhang.

 “Where are you going to send him?”

Su Ruojin: ...Is her intention so obvious?

"It's hard to say. We have to wait until we meet Carpenter Zhang. Wherever he wants to go, I will help him go there."

 Sure enough.

Zhao Lan smiled: "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Su Ruojin is not worried about his plan, "Does your plan include his family?"

Carpenter Zhang is just an ordinary citizen. Su Ruojin doesn't want to separate his family just because she gave Zhang a gunshot. She wants to ensure that the Zhang family remains together.

this…

Zhao Lan’s original intention was really just Zhang Carpenter, but now the young lady reminded him.

 After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "Let them disappear into the capital together as a family. That's okay."

 “Thank you so much, little prince.”

Zhao Lan lowered his head and was about to say something, but was interrupted.

 “A Jin…A Jin…”

 He turned his head, barely visible frown.

Mr. Xue seemed to have crawled out of the slums. He was extremely excited when he saw the former God of Fortune and Fortune, and ran straight over.

Su Ruojin was startled and said, "Uncle Xue, you..." She realized halfway through the question that because Zhang Carpenter was missing, he was probably 'invited' to ask questions.

 Another person who was implicated by her.

 She felt guilty and hurriedly went over to help him, "Uncle Xue, the weather is so hot, go back and wash up and rest."

After being detained for a day and a night, apart from asking for a few sips of water, he really didn't even eat a grain of rice. Xue Changcheng was indeed hungry and tired, but he waved his hand and said, "What is the cylinder you asked me to make for you?" People from the Imperial City Department and Dali Temple took turns bombing me. It’s so weird. Do I look like a bad guy?”

 It was a hot day in the summer. He had not washed or washed all day and night. Mr. Xue stood in front of people, dirty and sweaty, looking down and out. His obviously pitiful words had a comedic effect.

Su Ruojin almost couldn't hold back, she couldn't hold it back, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, how about I give you a delicious recipe."

Mr. Xue, who was pitiful just now, his eyes lit up when he heard this, "The kind that can make money?"

 “It stands to reason that you should be able to make money.”

Mr. Xue believed in the little lucky star neighbor, "What kind of recipe?"

Considering the situation of the Xue family, Su Ruojin gave me a recipe for preserved eggs, which is simple and easy to operate. You just need to work hard and increase the quantity, and you will definitely have no problem supporting the family.

After hearing why the young lady gave this recipe, Mr. Xue almost burst into tears, "It made Ah Jin laugh."

The young lady thought so thoughtfully that Xue Changcheng did not expect that now he is convinced. He sees things so clearly at a young age. No wonder the Su family is so prosperous. "Ajin, I finally understand your uncle. This recipe is Well given, great! "It's simple and easy to operate. As long as he controls the secret recipe, he can make money forever.

"Uncle, I would like to thank you here first, and I will come to express my thanks when everything is ready and I have time."

Su Ruojin nodded, "Uncle Xue, I will prepare the materials. Come to Suji tomorrow to find me, and I will teach you step by step."

 “Oh, okay.” Unexpectedly, after all the hard work, Xue Changcheng would have unexpected gains, and Xue Changcheng went home humming a ditty.

Co-authored, he worked hard for so long and got nothing but a thank you. Someone with an indifferent expression just kept looking at a certain young lady.

Su Ruojin thought she had something on her face or leaves falling on her head?

　　Can't help but reach out and touch the bun. The ignored Prince Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, "Didn't I tell you that he was suspicious?"

Su Ruojin was stunned, "I see you let him go. Doesn't this prove that he is fine?"

The purpose of releasing him was to fish out the person who defrauded Carpenter Zhang. I didn't expect that the young lady would be soft-hearted. Seeing his downfall, she was so upset that she gave him the prescription. If he was really an enemy spy, wouldn't he be giving the prescription to others in vain?

 For some reason, Su Ruojin intuitively felt that Xue Changcheng was not a bad person.

Seeing that Zhao Lan remained silent, Su Ruojin asked guiltily, "Then... what should I do now?"

The young lady’s eyes flickered, and Zhao Lan no longer scared her, “For the time being, Carpenter Zhang’s matter has nothing to do with him.”

"real?"

The little lady came to life instantly, her eyes were bright, and she said, "I just said, Uncle Xue doesn't look like a bad person." ’

Zhao Lan couldn't do anything to her, and felt aggrieved: "He was asked a question, and you gave him a prescription. What about me?"

Su Ruojin: ...Yes, I heard from Huaping that as soon as the little prince heard about Carpenter Zhang, he immediately mobilized his manpower and tracked her hard for a day and night. Today he took her to the Osmanthus Alley scene.

Logically speaking, he has made the greatest contribution and deserves the award for the greatest hard work.

 What is the best award?

With her eyes lit up, Su Ruojin immediately thought of what to give to the little prince. She smiled mischievously, "Uncle Xue must need a lot of ducks to produce pickled preserved eggs. What should I do if I raise so many ducks?"

Zhao Lan's expectant smile suddenly fell, "You asked my restaurant to accept his duck?"

“(*@ο@*)Wow~ little prince, you are so smart.”

Zhao Lan said with a black line, "My restaurant can't consume so many ducks."

The young lady raised her eyebrows playfully, "I have a way to make the little prince's restaurant sell as many ducks as it has."

 “What if it doesn’t sell?”

 “Then sell them all to me.”

 Zhao Lan: ...What’s the difference between that and smashing it into your own hands?

Zhao Lan didn't care whether she was a duck or not. What he was happy about was that through the duck, the little lady became lively and agile in front of him, which made him happy.

 From the morning when he returned to the city, he worked hard until the evening, when Zhao Lan sent Su Ruojin home.

Teachers and students had not seen each other for more than a year. When Su Yanli saw Zhao Lan again, he was a little afraid to recognize him, "Jin Zhi is much taller than before." In fact, what he wanted to say was that his whole person seemed to have changed from a decadent young boy. He became a tough young man, handsome and resolute, with a jade tree facing the wind.

 His students have grown up.

 "Okay...okay..." Su Yanli, who didn't drink much, suddenly became interested and wanted to have a drink with the students.

“Ah Jin, help dad and the young prince cook two dishes to go with the wine.”

Su Ruojin smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat with the wine?"

 “Let’s have a cold salad with three shredded vegetables and cucumbers.”

Su Ruojin: ...just these two side dishes?

　　Come on, the father is greedy and feels sorry for his daughter. He doesn't want her to go to the kitchen in the summer. She smiled and said, "You guys sit down first, I'll be here later."

Going to the kitchen to take a look, it was really difficult to prepare the dishes that I wanted to eat right away. There were only two dishes that Su Yanli ordered, which were quick, simple, and refreshing.

Alright, just these two!

Su Ruojin saw the healthy black fish and thought that Zhao Lan liked heavy-flavored food, so he made a simple pickled fish. This dish is quick and can be eaten with wine and rice. It can be eaten in the summer and can make you sweat.

  Okay, that’s it.

 Less than a quarter of an hour later, in addition to the five dishes cooked by Lu Dani, three dishes added by Su Ruojin were also served.

It has been a long time since we sat down to eat together. Suddenly, except for Zhao Lan, the Su family is really not used to it. Even Su Sanlang, who has always been a social cow, is very quiet.

 A year and a half!

The Su family is really unfamiliar with him.

Zhao Lan thought to himself that he would come to the house more often in the future. Thinking of this, he quietly raised his eyes and looked at the young lady who was picking fish bones off the little girl of the Su family, with the corners of her lips slightly curved.

The pickled fish is sour and spicy. It’s not too refreshing to have a quick meal in the hot and unappetizing summer.

 Su Sanlang's social-bull syndrome was activated, "Brother Zhao, I heard that you fought against bad guys in the south, one against three, or even one against ten. It's so powerful."

 “Listen to Hua Ping’s blowing?”

“Uncle Hua didn’t brag, he said it was true.”

　　　Bragging is true.

Sitting in the corridor, blowing in the wind to eat, Su Ruojin was drinking tea to wash away the spicy taste in his mouth. When he heard Brother She Niu's words, he almost burst out laughing. He finally held it in and swallowed the tea in his mouth.

 It was dusk, and the corridor was dim. The light of the lantern was blocked by the corridor columns, making it half-dark.

Zhao Lan was lying on the bamboo chair where he had been sitting, his handsome face hidden in the light, and in his peripheral vision, he could see the happy scene of the young lady spending time with her family.

He is an outstanding student and feels proud to be a teacher. He smiled and said, "You guys should learn from Prince Zhao, give up your identity and create your own world. This is the real son."

 The three sons stood in front of Su Yanli and said, "Yes, dad."

Su Sanlang felt that he was most similar to Zhao Lan, "Dad, Brother Zhao is both civil and military, and I will be the same in the future."

 Everyone:…

 Xiao Langjun, are you so immodest?

Su Sanlang saw everyone looking at him in surprise and said dissatisfiedly, "Now I get up every morning to practice kung fu and go to the Fan family private school to study during the day. Aren't I a master of both civil and military skills?"

Su Yanli: ...Is this how you came to be both civil and military? This naughty kid.

Su Dalang smiled and encouraged, "Forrest Gump is right. Big brother hopes that you will become more proficient in literature and martial arts and do better."

Su Sanlang was very excited when his elder brother said: "Okay, thank you, brother, I will work hard."

Some people encouraged her, while others acted in a negative light. When Su Ruojin saw that her parents were silent, she had no choice but to be the bad guy. She smiled and said, "I hope my literary skills are as good as my elder brother's, and my martial arts are as good as Uncle Hua Ping's. I think this If you have achieved both, you are probably not far away from being both civil and military.”

Su Sanlang was shocked: ...My little mouth bulged, annoying sister, I just want to make my presence felt in front of the little prince, so I have to go online like this.

　　The Su family siblings were playing around, and there was a faint joy in the quiet night.

Shuangrui had to remind his master: "Sir, it's getting late, and there are..." There are a lot of official documents waiting to be processed! The half-day leisure time in Fusheng has come to an end.

 Zhao Lan stood up.

 The Su family sent him as a gift.

As he walked to the door, Zhao Lan turned around and asked, "What is the name of the delicious duck dish?"
