Seeing the two people flattering each other, Gu Yunru said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know you two are tired. I will invite two more cooks to help you and reduce the burden on your shoulders, but you must prepare Dongfang Ye's lessons."
"I think Xiaoyu and Liang Xu can help." Xiang Ping put down her chopsticks excitedly. Anyway, her good disciple didn't learn much cooking skills from him. He could help in the kitchen and help her teach. It should be more than enough for him to teach her some basic things.
Gu Yunru looked at the silent Rong Zhen and asked him what he thought. Rong Zhen felt that since Dongfang Ye’s lectures were so popular now, he must have a bright future.
"No matter what you do, I will silently support you behind the scenes. As for this case, just leave it to me." Rong Zhen was eating when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the attic. Gu Yunru's heart sank, thinking that something had happened to Yaya, but he didn't expect that the Gu man actually ran away.
"Who locked that Gu con man in the attic again?" Gu Yunru looked at everyone with indignation. Everyone looked at each other. Mingxuan silently raised his hand and said, "I did it. I felt sorry for him, so I loosened his rope. I didn't expect him to get up and go crazy in the middle of the night. Master, it's all my fault..." Gu Yunru stamped his feet anxiously. Rong Zhen and his men chased after him. If the Gu con man was allowed to escape, more people might be harmed in the future.
Everyone was eating this meal in fear. Xiangping silently put the meat in his bowl into Mingxuan's bowl, signaling him to relax and leave the matter to Rong Zhen.
The next morning, Xiang Ping came to the kitchen to busy himself. Seeing Xiao Yu and Liang Xu inseparable, he was really envious. "I say, can't you two leave for a while? Liang Xu, you hold my apprentice's hand tightly, how is he going to cook?" Xiang Ping said with a look of reproach.
"Sorry, I'm being presumptuous. I'll sit aside." Liang Xu was a well-known wife-doting man. No matter where Xiaoyu went, he would follow her whenever he had time, just like a little tail, inseparable. Xiang Ping rubbed Xiaoyu's arm and said, "How is it? You have been married for more than half a month. He treats you pretty well, right?" Xiaoyu lowered her eyelids shyly and nodded. She had never thought that Liang Xu was a man worthy of entrusting her life to, and she had to thank her employer for this marriage.
"I'm so envious, but Master has to say something to you. Don't bring Liang Xu with you when you come to class in the morning. Doesn't his family have a lot of businesses under his management?" Xiaoyu raised his eyelashes silently, nodded and said, "I know, Master, but Liang Xu didn't listen and wanted to come along to take a look. But I will tell him not to come along anymore." Xiaoyu said cautiously.
Liang Xu was so caring and obedient to her that she felt a little embarrassed. Every time they came to Huajianlou, they would snuggle up to each other tightly, which made everyone envious.
"Master, what kind of dish is this? I've never seen it before." Xiaoyu saw a unique dish with a lot of ginkgo nuts in it. It seemed to be a dish from Confucius Mansion. Xiangping straightened his chest and said, "This is called Shili Ginkgo, a traditional local dish. My grandfather and I went to Confucius Mansion and learned this dish.
But I haven't practiced for a long time, so you'd better remember my steps. If you don't pass my test, just wait and see." Xiaoyu nodded diligently.
Watching the chef write out the process step by step, the main ingredient of this braised dish is actually ginkgo nuts. Although it seems very simple, it is also one of the top famous dishes of the Confucius Mansion. It is not easy to make this flavor.
"This dish is sweet and fragrant, flexible and chewy, and it can also help sober you up and relieve coughs. If your husband drinks too much in the future, make him this poem-infused ginkgo dish. I guarantee he'll love it!"
When she said this, she glanced at Liang Xu who was sitting beside her and didn't care. When Xiaoyu saw this, her face turned red with embarrassment.
The seasonings are only lard, sugar, and osmanthus sauce. The steps seem very simple, and the taste of this Shili Ginkgo is also very fragrant and sweet. The dish is amber-colored, fresh and light. It makes people unable to stop eating at first sight, and it is crispy, tender, and very pleasant.
Gu Yunru held Yaya in her arms and basked in the sun in the yard. Yaya always looked sad and didn't seem to like smiling anymore.
While coaxing her and singing a lullaby, the little one's eyes were bigger than hers, and she just refused to fall asleep. The bridesmaid was beside her and said, "Could it be that the weather is hot and the young lady knows it, so she doesn't want to sleep?" Gu Yunru nodded and said, "That should be the case. I have no experience in taking care of babies, but if you say so, it's the answer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyu brought this sweet dish to Gu Yunru and looked at her with a smile. The corners of his eyes became crescent-shaped. It seemed that he had nourished a lot during the days of marriage. "Boss, this is a new dish I just learned from my master. You can try it and see how it tastes." Gu Yunru looked at the sweet dish and took a bite out of curiosity.
"Yaya can eat it too. First, peel the ginkgo nuts, soak them in salt water, peel them, and fry them in boiling water to remove the bitterness. Then, add osmanthus sauce, honey and sugar, and drizzle with lard. The steps are the simplest."
Gu Yunru tasted the fruit while listening to him and nodded. This ginkgo, also known as white nut, is shaped like a small apricot but white in color. It tastes sweet and bitter. She didn't expect that it could be made into a dessert. So she fed some to Yaya, but she didn't expect that Yaya would like it so much.
The bridesmaid rolled her eyes and said, "No, you can't eat too many ginkgo nuts. Just a few are enough. If you eat too much, you might get poisoned." Fortunately, the bridesmaid reminded her in time, otherwise the greedy Yaya would have really eaten the whole plate.

"Boss, I really didn't know that the ginkgo nuts were poisonous. I didn't mean to do that." Xiaoyu lowered her head nervously, thinking that Gu Yunru would blame her. Gu Yunru waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I didn't eat much. But the dish you cooked is very sweet and refreshing, the sauce is thick, and it avoids the bitter smell. It's very successful."
