The fragrance of green onions and the richness of rice blend perfectly together, the egg is tender, the rice is springy and smooth, and the cooking time is just right.
The grains are distinct and the mouth is full of freshness and fragrance. Every bite brings a full sense of happiness.
The taste buds exploded from the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue, giving me ultimate satisfaction, as if a new world had opened up!
Oh my god, what did he eat before? Pig food!
Mr. Zeng ate voraciously with big mouthfuls, and his eating manner was particularly appetizing.
The cook on the side was very anxious and wanted to taste what it tasted like.
But he didn't dare to compete with his boss!
After finishing the last bite of egg fried rice, Mr. Zeng still felt unsatisfied.
He couldn't help but look at Mu Wanqing. This little girl was something!
He made up his mind to ask the cook to follow suit and make another pot of broken gold rice for dinner. It had a really good name.
Well, I want a big pot so I can eat enough at once!
That night, the cook enthusiastically tried to replicate the Broken Gold Rice, but for some reason the color was wrong.
They are as golden as gold, but you... look like shit? I lose my appetite just by looking at you.
When I tasted it again, the taste was not right either. The rice stuck together and was sticky and had a terrible taste!
It’s strange, how come the taste is so different with the same steps?
Little did he know that although fried rice with egg is ordinary, it is the dish that tests the chef's skills the most.
Among the items in chef assessment, fried rice with egg is a basic one.
Of course, this is a later story.
Mu Wanqing divided the remaining fried rice into several portions and distributed them to her family members one by one.
The food in prison is not good. Even though there is a meat bun for every meal, it is still not enough.
What's more, compared to noodles, Mu Wanqing still prefers to eat rice.
The Mu family members were also conquered by this bowl of egg fried rice and were amazed by its delicious taste.
It turns out that there are such delicious things in the world!
After finishing a big bowl, Mu Ziang looked at his sister with sparkling eyes and said, "Sister, how did you come up with the idea of cooking with stones? This is so delicious."
Using a slate to make fried rice was a genius idea that shocked his entire family.
"Just...think about it." Mu Wanqing said casually, "I'm smart."
Mu Ziang nodded vigorously, very proud, "Yes, my sister is the smartest girl in the world, no doubt about it."
He is convinced by his sister.
The intelligence and strength she has shown these days are really impressive. It’s right to listen to your sister.
"Xiao Qing is so capable." Mu Zicheng also started to praise her. His sister was much more capable than him.
Mr. Mu and his wife praised her to the sky. Mu Wanqing smiled with her dimples, sweet as honey.
The family was in a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere, when a cold snort sounded, "Humph."
Mu Wanqing turned her head and saw that it was Old Madam Mu, glaring at her harshly.
Lord Zeng was present just now, so the Mu family didn't dare to act rashly, even though they were extremely greedy.
As soon as the others left, the Mu family couldn't help but start trouble.
Third Master Mu accused loudly, "Second brother, this is what you did wrong. How could you not give good things to mother first? Mother raised you, married you off and gave birth to children for you. She fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, but you eat all by yourself. Is this how you repay her kindness?"
It's so hypocritical that he is obviously madly greedy but he is using the old lady's name to make things right.
Uncle Mu looked disappointed. "Second brother, no matter what, we are a family. In this difficult time, we should stick together and support each other."
He sounds sanctimonious, but in fact he is just crying with greed and being jealous.
Of course, the most important thing is to restore the broken and reorganized pattern back to its original state, back to the era when he was a family.
Master Mu was a tongue-tied person and didn't know what to do.
But Mu Wanqing was different. She nodded seriously and said, "That's right. Please give us a cart. My mother's feet are broken and she can't walk. Also, give us a few sets of clothes and a few pairs of shoes, and some food and drinks..."
Before she could finish, Master Mu San became anxious and said, "Impossible."
The entire team had only five carts, three of which belonged to the Fang family and two to the Mu family. These carts contained extremely precious supplies.
Clothing and food are in short supply, and they don’t even have enough for themselves.
"We are all family, there is no need to divide so clearly." Mu Wanqing smiled, "Uncle, you are the head of the family, what do you think?"
She once slapped Mu Zhongde in the face, and Mu Zhongde disliked her very much, but he did not show it on his face and tried to persuade her with kind words.
"It's not that we won't share with you, but there's not much left. You have to walk this path step by step on your own. Everyone is like this. Don't be too squeamish. It will be good for you if you get used to this kind of life sooner..."
"I understand. All the benefits are yours, and all the disadvantages belong to the second house." Mu Wanqing had long seen through the true colors of these people. "You are only allowed to eat and drink well, and we are not allowed to eat more. You are eager to cut our flesh to feed you. It's better not to have such a family."
After Mr. Mu Sanye went to jail, he completely let himself go and became completely shameless.
"Second brother, what's the point of having such a fierce and selfish daughter? Get her out of the house quickly, so as not to be dragged down by her."
How could he have the nerve to target a little girl who had not even reached marriageable age?
This really touched the sore spot of Master Mu. "Why is it useless? She feeds me meat buns and broken golden rice. She shares every bite of food with her family. Third brother, what delicious food did your filial children get for you?"
Come on, let’s hurt each other.
Mr. Mu Sanye was very angry.
He had two daughters and one son. The two daughters were born to him, and the only son was born to his favorite concubine.
All they knew how to do was cry and whine like frightened little chicks.
"As long as Mu Wanqing is here, my brother and I will not help you, let alone give you anything."
Without Mu Wanqing, the troublemaker, they can bully the second wife and enslave her.
The journey is full of dangers, and we are counting on the second branch to rush to the front and serve as cannon fodder.
Master Mu said without hesitation, "My daughter is worth everything in the world. She is not a scourge, but the lucky star of my family and our pride."
He knew that he had no special abilities and his two sons were not outstanding either, so he was always oppressed by the old lady and the first wife.
He couldn't resist, but his daughter did it!
He was so proud and happy inside; his daughter was just amazing.
Mu Wanqing was stunned. A warm feeling surged into her heart and her eyes gradually became moist.
This is what fatherly love is like a mountain, right? It’s so warm that it makes you want to cry.
"You will regret this." Third Master Mu was furious. "I want to see how far your Second Branch can go without the protection of your family."
Old Madam Mu sneered, "Without carts and supplies, they won't last long. Third brother, don't waste your breath on these ignorant people. I don't recognize them as members of the Mu family."
At this moment, a mule cart covered with green cloth slowly drove up to them. The carriage was covered with a layer of green cloth. It was very ordinary and there were many such mule carts on the streets.
The blue-clothed coachman asked loudly, "Excuse me, is this the home of the former Minister of Revenue?"
Mu Zhongde was stunned, his heart was lifted, could it be that the enemy was chasing after him? "Yes, who are you looking for?"
The driver's face lit up, "Who is the Second Master Mu, Mu Zhongping?"
Everyone looked at Mu Zhongping who was sitting in the crowd. Mu Zhongping stood up nervously and said, "It's me."
The green curtain was pulled aside, and the man sitting in the carriage poked his head out, "My last name is Cheng, and I'm the second housekeeper of the Cheng family."
Cheng family? Everyone was unable to react for a moment.
"Ah." Mu Zhongping remembered, patted his head, and showed a happy smile, "Jing'er, come here quickly, this is your husband's family, it's rare that they are so affectionate and righteous that they specially caught up with you to see you off..."
Mu Wanqing glanced at him indifferently. The man didn't even get out of the car, but just lay there talking. It was not very respectful.
However, the opportunity she wanted came!
Sure enough, the second butler interrupted and said, "I am here to cancel the engagement on the orders of my master."
The crowd was in an uproar, with different expressions.
Some people feel sympathy, while others take pleasure in other people's misfortune.
But, this kind of thing happens too much. I don’t know how many people have been broken off. Even Mu Jinyao, who is very famous in Beijing, was broken off. Why can you be spared?
Third Master Mu laughed happily, "Hahahaha, I knew who would want to marry a disobedient and unfilial daughter-in-law? Butler Cheng, well done."
The second housekeeper was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. "Second Master Mu, it's not that our Cheng family doesn't keep their word, but we really have no choice. Your Mu family has been exiled to Liangcheng, and we don't know when we can come back. We can't let our young master wait forever and end up alone."
He spoke very politely and accurately grasped the other person's psychology.
Master Mu was a reasonable man. He hesitated and said, "This..."
Madam Mu Er gently tugged at his clothes and said loudly, "What's so difficult about this? It's just the right time to marry Qing'er home."
Then there would be no need to follow them and be exiled to Liangcheng.
"That won't do..." The butler was in a hurry and only realized that he had revealed his identity after he spoke.
He frowned in embarrassment. "I mean, Miss Mu San has been to prison, and her reputation is tarnished. The Cheng family cannot accept this. Madam Mu, if it were you, would you be willing to have such a daughter-in-law?"
"I don't want it. I think it's not clean." Old Madam Mu said without hesitation, "Second brother, cancel the engagement immediately. Don't keep pestering us and embarrass our Mu family."
The second housekeeper took out the engagement letter and said in a very humble manner, "Second Master Mu, please take pity on me, a runner. If I can't do it, our whole family will be sold out."
Master Mu was in a state of confusion and subconsciously looked at his daughter, "Qing'er."
Mu Wanqing looked at him calmly for a few seconds and said, "Your Cheng family must have used a lot of connections to find a marriage certificate, right?"
,
The first thing he said was a royal bomb.
The second butler was shocked, "How did you know..."
His words stopped abruptly, his expression turned pale and pale, and he couldn't help but look closely at the girl in front of him.
Is this Miss Mu San who is engaged to the young master? Why is she different from the legend?
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, calm and composed, "You will never find the marriage certificate, because it is in my hands."
This answer was beyond the second butler's expectations. No wonder, after so much effort in negotiating with everyone, he still couldn't get the marriage certificate.
After much thought, I can only find the person involved to resolve the issue.
He responded quickly, "Miss Mu San, please return the marriage certificate. The Cheng family will all remember your kindness. My wife said that it's not that you are not good enough, but that our two families are not destined to be together. I wish Miss Mu San can find a good match soon."
He is eloquent and humble, no wonder he managed to get the position of butler.
Mu Wanqing opened her eyes, which were clearly black and white, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "That's it?"
"What?" The second butler was confused.
He considered himself a smart person, but he couldn't see through Mu Wanqing's thoughts.
Mu Wanqing glanced at the blue cloth mule cart nonchalantly, "What's the point of saying you're grateful?"
The second butler had a flash of realization in his mind, but he couldn't believe it, "What are you doing?"
Mu Wanqing hates people who pretend to be confused the most. Wouldn’t it be better to solve the problem through discussion?
"How much do you think your Cheng family's reputation is worth? How much is your young master's future worth?"
The second housekeeper's expression changed several times, "Miss Mu San, your reputation is also very important..."
Mu Wanqing waved her hand, smiling, "First, you deliberately delayed until we left the city and walked a few miles before showing up. You did this to keep it a secret and keep a low profile, not wanting to make a big deal out of it."
"Secondly, the Cheng family master is now a fifth-rank official. The fourth rank is a watershed, and going up to the fourth rank means entering the ranks of high-ranking officials. With his age and qualifications, it is a bit difficult to cross this watershed, and reputation is very important."
"Third, the young master of the Cheng family is going to take the imperial examination. His reputation is precious. If he gets a reputation for being cold and dishonest, his future will be limited. What do you think?"
The second housekeeper couldn't believe it. Every word she said hit the point and accurately pinched the Cheng family's soft spot. This was also the reason why they wanted to secretly cancel the engagement.
If you worry too much, you will end up in a passive position.
His eyes were dark and gloomy, flickering, and he suddenly said, "When a person dies, his karmic debts are eliminated."
As long as Mu Wanqing died, there would be no need to go through the process of breaking off the engagement, and she would no longer be a hindrance to her young master.
Everyone gasped. How cruel! He wanted to kill his fiancée over a disagreement! The Cheng family was amazing!
The author has something to say:
Guess what Wanqing wants to do?
