Chapter 246: Happiness on the tip of the tongue is most likely to reach people's hearts

Jiang Jinrong was stunned and looked up, and the person coming was Princess Lejia.

"A Ning..."

Jiang Jinrong stood up slowly, his depressed and thin figure swaying.

The servant beside him hurried forward to support Jiang Jinrong, and he managed to stand firmly.

Princess Lejia: "What are you doing here?"

What bad luck, I actually meet Jiang Jinrong here.

She glanced at Jiang Jinrong coldly and saw that he was pale and thin, like a pile of dry bones.

He looks like he is going to die soon, yet he comes here and says some hypocritical words.

If she dies here, wouldn't that pollute her mother's place?

Jiang Jinrong looked at the undisguised disgust in his daughter's eyes, his eyes slightly sour: "Aning, I'm here to see your mother."

Princess Lejia said coldly: "My mother doesn't need you to look after her."

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Jiang Jinrong with a mocking expression: "Why, you are so reluctant to part with that woman. And you made yourself look like neither a human nor a ghost."

Jiang Jinrong naturally knew who "that woman" she was talking about. Hearing this, he was just slightly stunned and did not explain anything.

For him, there is something more important——

"Aning, I have let your mother and you down over the years. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but there is one thing I must make clear."

Jiang Jinrong paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "You always say that we killed your mother, but in fact I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Princess Lejia again——

"You want to say that you didn't kill her, and I wronged you, right?"

Without waiting for Jiang Jinrong to answer, Princess Lejia continued, "Didn't you have an affair with your wife's sister, and then brought the matter to my mother's attention, which led to her serious illness?"

The remaining color on Jiang Jinrong's face quickly faded: "I didn't know it would turn out like that. I didn't want her to know."

Princess Lejia: "Even if you didn't spread the news, aren't you at fault?"

"Weren't you the one who committed adultery with your wife's sister? Weren't you the one who kept her away and had a pair of children born out of wedlock?"

"Not long after your original wife died, you were the one who immediately welcomed your mistress into the house, weren't you?"

"Could it be that someone else forced you to do all this?"

Facing Princess Lejia's repeated questioning, Jiang Jinrong looked dejected and remained silent.

After a while, he said, "It's all my fault."

Princess Lejia: "Of course it's all your fault. If you really liked Xiao Han so much, you shouldn't have married my mother. Since you married my mother, you shouldn't have hooked up with her."

"Since you have betrayed my mother, you should not come here now, polluting her place and disturbing her peace."

Princess Lejia has thought about this countless times over the years.

One day, she took Jiang Jinrong to her mother's grave and made him kneel down and repent.

But when the moment really came, she felt that it was meaningless.

The person is already dead, what's the point of repentance?

The dead can’t hear.

The so-called confession is nothing more than a living person's desire for peace of mind.

"No matter what you do now, you can't cover up the fact that you had an affair with your wife's sister. You are a scumbag, as shameless as Xiao Han. If you really want to repent, why didn't you come before? Why did you have to wait until now?"

Jiang Jinrong and Xiao Han are a match made in heaven.

Why didn't he regret it before? Why did he have to wait until Xiao Han dealt with his other woman and then murdered him before he regretted it?

If Jiang Jinrong had a successful career after abandoning his wife and children, Xiao Han would have remained as gentle and lovely as before, and the children she gave birth to would have also been promising.

Will he regret it?

Definitely not!!

In the past, when I had a lovely wife by my side and two children, I didn’t feel sorry for her mother.

Now I am dying of illness, and I just want to seek peace of mind? ?

Dreaming!!

Princess Lejia's tone was not aggressive, but her words were so sharp that Jiang Jinrong was speechless.

"Drive him away and don't let him appear in front of my mother's grave."

The guards at the side took the order and stepped forward, trying to drive Jiang Jinrong away.

"Brothers, let's go. We leave now."

Jiang Jinrong is in very poor health right now, and the servants are worried that something might happen to him if he is pulled or pushed, so one of them stepped forward with a smile to block the guards.

Another servant supported Jiang Jinrong and said, "Master, let's leave first."

Jiang Jinrong pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery, looked at Han Yin's grave again, and then let the servant pull him away.

Princess Lejia asked people to remove all the things Jiang Jinrong brought, and then looked at Han Yin's tomb.

She slowly squatted down and brushed away the fallen leaves on the tombstone: "Mom, I'm sorry to have disturbed you just now."

…

Shen Mansion

Chen Huazheng and Zhou Ying were busy in the kitchen. Today, several large buckets of eels were delivered from the farm.

The eels are very fresh and each one is quite big.

Chen Huazheng thought about it and decided to make yellow eel jelly pot.

As Yuan Mei mentioned in Suiyuan Food List, "The most important thing in cooking is the heat."

Chen Huazheng also believes that food should have a wok aroma. A stir-fried dish can only be considered to have soul if it has a strong wok aroma.

The aroma of wok cooking is made up of four elements: hot, fast, dry and fragrant.

"Hot" here refers to a qualified stir-fried dish that should be steaming hot when served on the table.

"Fast" means that the chef must have a good understanding of the characteristics of the ingredients and be able to cook them in one go to preserve the freshness of the ingredients to the greatest extent possible.

"Dry" does not mean dry, but means that there is juice but the juice is not visible, and there is starch but the starch is not visible.

"Fragrant" means that the freshness and fragrance of the ingredients are fully brought out during the frying process.

The most representative dish related to wok flavor is of course the zhezhe pot.

There are two ways to cook zhezhe pot: raw zhe and cooked zhe. Chen Huazheng prefers raw zhe.

The eels that were still alive and kicking not long ago have been cut open by the cooks, their internal organs removed, washed with starch and water, their heads and tails removed, and they are chopped into eel pieces and put into large porcelain bowls for later use.

Chen Huazheng poured the prepared chopped ginger into a porcelain bowl, added seafood sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and half a piece of fermented bean curd, and then used a spoon to mix the eel segments and various seasonings in the bowl evenly.

Seeing that the eel had been fully integrated with the seasoning, she added an appropriate amount of starch.

In addition to locking in the moisture inside, this will also make the eel taste more tender and smooth after being cooked.

Add some peanut oil and stir evenly, and the eel is simply pickled.

Chen Huazheng asked someone to heat up the casserole, then poured a proper amount of oil into it and heated it up, and then poured the prepared garlic cloves, ginger slices, shallots and other ingredients into the pot.

With the sound of "sizzling", the aroma of onion and garlic soon emanated from the pot.

Seeing that the garlic cloves in the pot had been stir-fried until golden brown, Shen Huazheng put the marinated eel segments into the pot and began to stir-fry over low heat.

As soon as the fresh eel enters the hot pot, it immediately curls up like a shrimp.

Chen Huazheng slowly spread out the eel slices with long chopsticks, which would make them easier to cook.

Soon, the aroma of eel wafted out of the casserole.

Zhou Ying stood aside, staring at the tempting eel without blinking, and took a deep breath of the fragrance in the air.

Smells so good, looks so delicious!!

When the eel was almost 70% cooked, Chen Huazheng put the coriander and green onion segments into the casserole and covered the pot.

Zhou Ying then tacitly picked up the Huadiao tea on the side, poured it over the lid of the pot, and started to simmer.

Under high temperature, the casserole constantly emits a cheerful "sizzling" sound, and the essence of the ingredients inside is slowly baked and cooked out, instantly filling the air with fragrance.

After about five minutes, Shen Huazheng asked someone to take the food out of the pot.

When Princess Lejia arrived at the Shen Mansion, the maids were placing dishes on the table.

Seeing her, everyone sitting at the dinner table was very happy.

"Aning, the food Zheng'er cooked today is so delicious, come and try it."

Princess Lejia smiled and replied, "I am coming."

Seeing Jiang Jinrong today still affected her mood.

If it weren't for the reminder from the secretary, Princess Lejia would have almost forgotten that she was going to the Shen Mansion today to try the new dishes made by Shen Huazheng.

As soon as she sat down, the maid began to lift the lid skillfully.

The moment the lid of the eel sizzling pot is opened, a sizzling sound can be heard inside the casserole, and a rich and fresh fragrance slowly drifts into the air with the rising white smoke.

The maid followed the instructions and quickly stirred the ingredients in the casserole with a spoon. The heat from the casserole quickly brought out the aroma of the ingredients.

For a moment, the whole house was filled with fragrance.

Everyone present couldn't help swallowing as they smelled the fragrance lingering around their noses.

Chen Huazheng introduced today's new dishes to everyone: "Mom, Aning, this is yellow eel jelly pot, it's very fragrant. You guys try it."

Zhou nodded with a smile, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of eel and put it in the bowl.

The others had already been overwhelmed by the aroma of the eel and picked up their chopsticks, eager to eat it.

As soon as the eel was put into their mouths, everyone's eyes were filled with amazement.

It’s really fresh, tender, hot and fragrant!

After being roasted in a hot casserole, the eel meat becomes firm and cooked to perfection, and tastes fresh, tender, refreshing and chewy, with a strong sauce flavor.

Princess Lejia ate the yellow eel stew happily, feeling that all the indescribable annoyance in her heart had been swept away.

As Shen Huazheng was eating, she suddenly felt someone was looking at her.

She raised her head and met Princess Lejia's gaze.

Shen Huazheng was stunned at first, then she smiled brilliantly.

Princess Lejia also smiled at her, then lowered her head and continued eating.

Every time she ate the food made by Zheng Zheng, she always felt happy.

This should be what Zheng Zheng often says, "Happiness on the tip of the tongue is the easiest to reach people's hearts."
