Jiang Yue took Tang Jingjing to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. She had experience in applying for business licenses for individual industrial and commercial households, so she went directly to the management department and submitted the application and related materials that she had prepared in advance.
"Is that all?" It was Tang Jingjing's first time in such a place, and she felt a little embarrassed and nervous.
"It's still early!" Jiang Yue said with a smile, "The Industry and Commerce Bureau needs to review it and report it to the higher authorities. It will probably take at least a month to get the approval."
“I see!”
"Come on, Sister Jingjing, I've seen a shop that I've taken a fancy to. I'll take you to have a look. If you think it's suitable, we can buy it!"
Jiang Yue planned to take Tang Jingjing through the process before leaving.
In fact, she had already written down in detail what she was going to do next, including some of her cooking recipes, all of which she wrote to Tang Jingjing without reservation, as a reward for Tang Jingjing taking her in when she was most helpless.
However, Jiang Yue has not taken it out yet, and plans to give it to Tang Jingjing before leaving tomorrow.
In fact, Jiang Yue had already asked Liu Fengxian to help buy the shop, but he hadn't told the Tang family yet.
Tang Jingjing didn’t know whether the shop was good or not, but since Jiang Yue said this one was good, it must be good. She always had a feeling that it was unreal.
When I got home, it was almost noon.
The man with the duck voice was left at home to take care of the children, and when he heard the sound, he jumped out from the kitchen.
"Third brother, did you eat secretly again?" When Tang Jingjing saw that the duck-voiced man had not even wiped the corners of his mouth, she knew what he had done.
"Sister, the braised chicken feet and lemon and garlic chicken feet you made are so delicious, I couldn't help it!" The duck-voiced man wiped the corner of his mouth and laughed.
"Third brother, you can also learn to cook with Sister Jingjing. I think you have a talent for cooking!" Jiang Yue's words were not false. Although Gong Duck Voice was not good at studying, he had a good tongue and a particularly sensitive sense of taste, making him very suitable to be a chef.
The duck-voiced man became excited when Jiang Yue praised him, "Really? Actually, I really like cooking!"
"So now you know how to make lemonade as I taught you?" Jiang Yue asked.
"I got it! I just made a cup for Xiaoqiang!" the duck-voiced man said excitedly.
"Sister Jiang Yue, the cellar you asked us to dig is almost finished. In the future, lemons won't go bad if we store them in the cellar! I've learned how to make lemon syrup. When our store opens, I think many people will like to drink the lemonade I make!"
On the first day Jiang Yue came, she discovered that there were not only flowers in the Tang family's backyard, but also fruit trees, two large lemon trees, a grapefruit tree, peach trees, apricot trees, etc. There were also many fresh vegetables planted in the small vegetable garden. They rarely went to buy vegetables on weekdays, and the vegetables in the small vegetable garden alone were enough for them to eat.
The reason why Jiang Yue likes this place is, firstly, because the Tang family treats her well and does not treat her as an outsider, and the second reason is that she feels that the Tang family has a very positive attitude towards life. The siblings and brothers each have their own responsibilities, and although they don’t have much money, the home is well managed and full of vitality.
"Very good!" Jiang Yue praised the duck voice a few words, and seeing the boy's proud tail almost raised to the sky, she also smiled.
"Sister Jingjing, I have to go to Sister Fengxian's place. I won't be home for lunch, so you guys eat at your leisure!" Jiang Yue had already told Liu Fengxian that she was leaving. These two days, she was busy teaching Tang Jingjing how to make chicken feet, so she didn't go to Liu Fengxian's house as a special chef.
Just now on the way back, Jiang Yue met a mute young man who handed her a note. It was written by Liu Fengxian, saying that they were going to entertain distinguished guests from the provincial capital today and hoped that she could go to help.
Jiang Yue had nothing to do anyway, so he naturally agreed.
Liu Fengxian had been waiting in her backyard early. As soon as Jiang Yue got off the black-sailed boat, Liu Fengxian held her hand.
"You're here!" When Liu Fengxian saw Jiang Yue, her well-maintained eyebrows and eyes showed a gentle smile, "Today's guests came here because of your reputation, and specifically asked for the dishes you cooked!"
"What dishes did you order?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Squirrel fish, stir-fried beef, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, Dongpo pork, and braised fish pot." Liu Fengxian finished speaking in one breath.
Jiang Yue paused, "Sister Fengxian, doesn't Brother Jia also know how to cook these dishes? Why do you have to ask me to do it?"
The man called Brother Jia by Jiang Yue is Liu Fengxian's husband and also the chef of Fengxian's private restaurant. He is a very good cook, especially Huaiyang cuisine.
Liu Fengxian shook her head. "I don't understand either. Director Wang from the city sent someone to say hello. I guess Director Wang may have eaten the dishes you cooked before and thought they were good, so he specifically asked you to cook today!"
After hearing what Liu Fengxian said, Jiang Yue didn't think much about it.
Because of her special physique and keen sense of smell and taste since childhood, the dishes she cooks are indeed a little different.
Jiang Yue entered the kitchen and saw Jia Cheng already busy at work. A mute boy was helping him by pulling the bellows and the dishes were already prepared on the chopping board.
The tall Jia Cheng showed a simple smile when he saw Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue smiled and looked away calmly. Although she was already very familiar with Liu Fengxian and her husband, and was often busy in the kitchen as a special chef during this period, she still couldn't look Jia Cheng in the face every time she saw him.
It was then that Jiang Yue understood why Jia Cheng did not show up in public. It was because his face was covered with scars, and his entire face was ruined. The most terrifying thing was that a scar ran from the left corner of his eye to the right lower jaw, dividing his face into two halves.
His vocal cords were also damaged, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and he seldom spoke.
Liu Fengxian is good at dancing with her long sleeves, while Jia Cheng works silently. These two people are like a combination of beauty and the beast, obviously incongruous, yet harmonious.
Jiang Yue didn't eat lunch, so she took two buns from the kitchen to fill her stomach and started to get busy.
"The guests have arrived!" At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Fengxian came in to announce and asked the mute boy to serve the dishes.
Jiang Yue usually doesn't go to the waterside pavilion to serve the dishes. After the dishes are ready, she goes to sit at the other end of the plank road and waits for Tang Ziyang to bring the food over.
Tang Ziyang has been following Jiang Yue to Liu Fengxian's house every day recently and has stopped going to the Flower and Tree Commune. So Jiang Yue found him a job to help Liu Fengxian transport food.
It is now late September. The autumn breeze is refreshing and the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus.
Jiang Yue sat at the end of the plank road, with her feet dangling in the air, swinging back and forth, and eating a piece of watermelon in her hand.
The watermelon was just given to her by Liu Fengxian. It was very sweet. In front of her was a vast lake. A breeze blew, and ripples appeared on the lake. What she could see were green lotus leaves stretching for ten miles.
The scenery here is so beautiful that Jiang Yuezhen feels a little reluctant to leave when she thinks about leaving tomorrow.
When she was cooking just now, the temperature in the kitchen was too high. Jiang Yue was sweating so much that she let her hair down. Her long black hair was spread out behind her and was blown by the wind, making her slender figure graceful.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue felt as if someone was staring at her from behind. The feeling of being stared at made her heart move, and she subconsciously turned around. However, when her eyes swept across, she did not find anyone there.
