Xiangping ran downstairs angrily and went to argue with Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu cried out in pain and looked at Xiangping, admitting his mistakes repeatedly.
"Master, if you really think Xiaoyu's cooking skills are not as good as yours, why don't you just stay here? Xiaoyu has been with you for half a year, how can she possibly cook better dishes than you?"
Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue. Xiangping sighed helplessly when he saw that he was still stubborn even when he was about to die.
"Well, it seems I really have to stay here. Otherwise, you'll be lazy all day long. You haven't learned the things in Su Mu Zhai yet, but you'll learn all those messy things first!"
After much thought, Xiangping decided to stay here for the time being. He had to bring his stupid apprentice out, so that Xiaoyu would not ruin his reputation outside.
"That's great, Master. As long as you can stay here, Xiaoyu can ask for advice with an open mind!"
Gu Yunru was in the attic looking at the master and disciple downstairs, and the two of them laughed out loud.
Hearing Yaya crying in the room, I quickly walked in and held her in my arms.
"Yaya, good boy, isn't mommy back?" Gu Yunru looked at the little guy with a smile and tears in her eyes, only to find that the little guy kept crying with his mouth open and his appetite had greatly decreased.
"Wet nurse!" Gu Yunru wanted to find the wet nurse, but she couldn't find her anywhere in the entire Huajian Tower.
"Boss, you haven't been home these days, so you don't know that the wet nurse stole some banknotes from Huajianlou and ran away!"
Xi Niang told her about this matter. She didn't tell her yesterday because she didn't have time.
"What do you mean, girl? Whose milk have you been drinking these days?" Gu Yunru asked nervously and apprehensively. She only looked at Rong Zhen and ignored this good daughter.
"Don't worry about this. We hired a temporary wet nurse, but we don't know what's wrong with Yaya. She has been vomiting milk and has lost her appetite these days." Xiniang was also anxious and worried about this. She almost forgot to mention it until Gu Yunru came back.
"Xi Niang, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Gu Yunru stamped her feet anxiously and made a few snacks for Yaya, but Yaya still couldn't eat them. After Xiangping found out, she went straight into the kitchen and made a bowl of egg and meat soup.
"Sister Gu, do you think she would like to eat this egg and meat soup?" The egg and meat soup made by Xiangping was smooth, tender and delicious. Even adults would drool just by smelling it, let alone children.
"I can only give it a try..." Gu Yunru tried to hold Yaya tightly, but unexpectedly, after feeding her a bite, Yaya actually swallowed it.
"Thank you, Xiangping. I didn't expect that even children would like to eat what you cook!"
"You're welcome. I'll be busy making some porridge to improve Yaya's appetite these days. She might get tired of just drinking milk." Xiangping said with a smile and went back into the kitchen. Xiaoyu had been memorizing the dishes taught by the master in the kitchen, but as she was learning, she always felt that she had forgotten one important thing. She had prepared lobster, broccoli, tofu, fish balls, steamed dumplings and the like, but she had not been able to start.
"Master, I have made this hotpot five times according to the steps you taught me, but it still doesn't work." Xiangping smiled, and then put dried bamboo shoots on the bottom of the pot, and then a layer of meat on the second layer, followed by white tofu and fried tofu, and then added meatballs, vermicelli spinach and golden needles.
Add seasonings and an appropriate amount of water, and simmer over low heat. After about half an hour, the fragrant Yipintang with a strong local flavor is ready.
"It smells so good, Master! I didn't expect this hotpot to be so simple. What did I do wrong?" Gu Yunru smelled the fragrance and walked in. She didn't expect Xiangping to know how to make this hotpot. It is equivalent to modern hotpot and is a home-cooked dish in Huizhou.
According to legend, this was developed by the wife of the Shangshu Mansion in order to please the emperor. "Xiangping, can you let me taste the taste of this pot?" Gu Yunru stretched out his hand to take the spoon. The hen soup, shark fin and abalone added together to embellish each other, making it more delicious and appetizing. He swallowed his saliva and couldn't wait to taste it.
Sure enough, the taste was not much different from what she imagined. "Xiangping, why don't you make this Yipin Hotpot the signature dish of Huajianlou? In the future, if a distinguished guest comes to our Huajianlou and asks what the signature dishes are, we can put out the Lotus Blood Duck and Yipin Hotpot. Salt Bureau Chicken are all on the menu. This way, our dishes can be considered innovative."
"Of course you can. This salty and fresh taste is very suitable for the people here. But Xiaoyu, you have to remember not to be lazy. You must practice the basic skills well. You have been with me for a short time, so some things may not be done perfectly, but you must be patient."
Xiangping tirelessly explained science to her, telling Xiaoyu to be patient and not to be impatient. If she was impatient, all the basic skills she had practiced before would be ruined. This fragrant Yipintang was well received by everyone as soon as it came out. They rushed to make reservations. As more and more customers came, there seemed to be not enough space in Huajianlou.
Gu Yunru directly put up a sign, saying that only ten servings of Yipintang would be sold every day, and no more would be available. These ingredients could be prepared in advance, but since there were only Xiangping, Xiaoyu and Qiao Er working in the kitchen, there was a shortage of manpower.

After a busy day, Gu Yunru felt sore in the back and waist. After seeing Yaya, she returned to her room. Rong Zhen was resting in the house while reading ancient books, looking very diligent.
"Husband, come and try the crab stuffed with orange that I made for you." This crab stuffed with orange is a famous traditional dish in Luoyang. I learned it secretly from Xiangping with great difficulty and quickly memorized the steps of making it. Rong Zhen smelled the aroma and took a deep breath.
Gu Yunru smiled and said, "This crab meat is rich in protein, which can nourish bones, nourish essence and activate blood circulation. You are recuperating now, so eating this crab stuffed with orange is perfect for you. It also has the effect of fighting tuberculosis."
Although Rong Zhen didn't understand what she was talking about, he could figure out from her words that this crab stuffed with orange was something his wife had made intentionally for him.
After taking a small bite, he found that the crab stuffed with orange was indeed delicious, and he praised it highly, "My dear, since you have reconciled with He Xiangping, it seems that you can learn something from her every day. I am very pleased!"
"Of course, I will treat Xiangping as my own sister in the future. Huajianlou and Sumuzhai are actually both Yipinguo created by him, and the dishes are indeed amazing. I have no reason to drive her away. She is a living signboard."
