Chapter 247 Sensible Family
Ma Yuruo's speech became somewhat incoherent: "Mom, you, you agree?"
Geng Ru smiled and turned around: "I agree, but I have to make it clear first, if you marry this girl, you will have to endure a lot of rumors and gossip."
"Mom, I know."
"If you dare to believe these rumors and hurt the girl, you might as well give up now."
Ma Yuruo calmed herself down: "Mom, I can't."
"In that case, I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow. If she agrees, I will marry you as soon as possible, and I will put my worries to rest."
"Thank you, mother."
Geng Ru glanced at him, turned and left the room. Standing in the yard, she looked up at the people in the distance and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
She was lucky to marry into the Ma family and have such sensible family members.
After learning of their decision, Wen Zhenyi no longer hid it from Ma Yushun and Ma Ruier.
The two were very happy when they learned that they were going to have a sister-in-law. Even though this sister-in-law had some physical defects, it was not a problem for them.
Geng Ru and the others went to discuss the marriage proposal. Wen Zhenyi turned to A Xiang and said, "A Xiang, until my cousin's marriage is finalized and he gets married, please go and protect Miss Qian."
"Master, are you worried that she's in danger?"
"It's hard to say. There are many people who are targeting them. Before, since she wasn't my family, I didn't worry about it. Now that she is my future cousin-in-law, I have to pay attention to her."
"If I go, will you be able to handle the banquet at the restaurant tomorrow?"
"It's okay, it's just a banquet, and we have the restaurant's chef to help."
"Then I'll go now."
Wen Zhen nodded: "Go ahead, don't torture yourself, eat when you need to, sleep when you need to."
Ah Xiang paused slightly, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Ma Yuruo appeared beside Wen Zhenyi not long after Axiang left: "Cousin, thank you."
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Cousin, where does this thank you come from?"
"If it weren't for your help, my mother and the others wouldn't have been able to communicate so quickly."
"This also depends on the girl's good character, right? If her character is not good, it will be useless for me to speak."
"My vision shouldn't be that bad."
Wen Zhenyi looked him up and down and said, "Not bad indeed."
Ma Yuruo smiled brightly: "I have to work hard to save money, and when you get married, I will give you a generous dowry."
"Cousin, this is too far away. It's still two or three years away."
"I'll have a whole family to support in the future, and it will be difficult to give you a generous dowry in two or three years."
Wen Zhenyi chuckled: "Then you have to work hard, I'm waiting for you to add makeup."
The dark clouds that had shrouded the Ma family yard for the past two days had completely dissipated, making people feel much happier.
The next day, Ma Yuruo and Ma Can both took a day off and went to the store to help.
Old Lady Ma and Geng Ru went to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Wen Zhenyi walked to Zuixianju, and the shopkeeper was already waiting for her in the morning: "Miss Wen, you are here."
"Shopkeeper, sorry to bother you today."
"Miss Wen, you're too polite. We hope you can come more often."
Wen Zhenyi exchanged a few words with him and went to the kitchen.
As for the young master of the Cheng family, he will not appear until the afternoon.
The chef and the servants also came early this morning. They also wanted to see Wen Zhenyi's cooking skills and see if they were as good as the rumors said.
There wasn’t actually much to do in the morning. I just picked vegetables and prepared them. All the ingredients that needed to be soaked in advance had already been soaked yesterday.
Wen Zhenyi went to check out the situation and asked the waiter to change the water and rinse it clean, preparing it for use in the afternoon.
All the chefs in the restaurant were bought. Chef Zhang is the one who has been here the longest. There are two other younger chefs who are his apprentices.
"Chef Zhang, is the restaurant business usually good?"
"I can't say it's good, nor can I say it's bad. I don't know whether it's profitable or not. I just take care of my little business in the kitchen."
"Are there many restaurants in the county?"
"There are quite a few, big and small, but the best one is the Song family's restaurant, and the other one is ours. The other restaurants are not doing as well."
Wen Zhen nodded slightly: "Does your restaurant host the banquet?"
Chef Zhang was a little confused: "What banquet are you talking about?"
"For example, birthday banquets, wedding banquets, etc."
"Birthday banquets and wedding banquets are usually held at home. Occasionally, wealthy families will ask us to come and help with the cooking, but most of them have their own cooks, so there are very few places where we can be of any use."
Wen Zhenyi nodded as he listened: "Do you usually only accept individual customers and one or two tables?"
"Well, usually, it's just the occasional gathering of friends or business negotiations. As for ordinary people, few of them have the spare money to go into a restaurant and spend money there."
"That's right, your restaurant is so big, it costs a lot of money to come in."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
At noon, some guests came to eat, and Chef Zhang and his colleagues were busy cooking for the guests. She was not in a hurry, but instead prepared meals for the employees.
I don’t know if Cheng Lesheng is a dog nose, but he showed up at the restaurant on time, and didn’t mind eating with the guys. He sat down and started eating on his own.
Wen Zhenyi looked at his starving ghost reincarnation and asked: "How long have you been hungry?"
"I drank a lot yesterday and didn't eat anything. I slept until just now. Do you think I'm hungry?"
"Are you planning to destroy your body?"
"It's Song Yi and the others. They said they're getting married soon, so we have to have some fun for a while, otherwise I'll run back to town."
"You can't drink like that!"
"Brother Shen is really amazing. We wrote to him and asked him to come to the county town, but he just didn't come. He said he would come before they got married. Don't you think he is cunning?"
Wen Zhen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who told you to be stupid?"
The food in Cheng Lesheng's mouth suddenly lost its flavor. He didn't know whether to swallow it or spit it out.
The other people at the table looked at each other with their eyes fixed on their noses, and did not make eye contact with him.
The lunch diners left one after another after mealtime, and Wen Zhenyi had to start preparing for the afternoon meal.
Chef Zhang was so happy at lunch: "Miss Wen, your cooking skills are amazing."
"If you have time to practice more, you can do it well."
"I'm afraid there's no hope of reaching your level."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Let's get started."
Chef Zhang nodded, put on an apron, and stood beside her watching.
Wen Zhenyi cut the beef he bought into cubes of equal size, put them into the pot and boiled them to remove the blood foam.
Pour oil into the pot, stir-fry dried chili peppers, peppercorns, star anise and other spices over low heat, add beef water, cooking wine, soy sauce, tangerine peel, etc., bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly.
