Since she was going to stay in the village for three days, Wang Yan wandered around aimlessly with nothing to do.
And so, they ended up at the house where Xu Shaoqing and the others lived.
The houses here look quite impressive from the outside, with their blue bricks and gray tiles.
Wang Yan came out of curiosity; she didn't know that this house belonged to the Gu family.
The key is that I had just woken up this morning and was still a little groggy, otherwise I would have been able to guess it after a little thought.
Only the Hou family has bought three hilltops here to grow fruit.
Aside from the Marquis's mansion, you probably couldn't find another family that could build such a magnificent house.
However, Wang Yan quickly realized that this was the residence where the Third Young Master and his family lived.
Because several maids and servants were waiting at the door to receive the doctors, one doctor after another was brought in.
"Oh dear, what are you all doing? Didn't we say that the Third Young Mistress only had mushroom poisoning and would be fine after taking medicine for a couple of days? Why have you called so many doctors?"
An old man carrying a medicine box, who had just finished his diagnosis, was scolding the maids.
Wang Yan didn't hear what the maid said afterward. As soon as she saw that this was where the Third Young Master lived, she turned and left, finding it unlucky!
By the third day, the whole village was abuzz with the news that Xu Shaoqing was doomed.
At first, Wang Yan thought it was just rumors circulating in the village. After all, it's common practice for rumors to get distorted as they are passed from one person to another.
It was like this when they were in the Marquis's mansion. Wasn't there a rumor not long ago that the second wife was poisoned to death?
But Wang Ying felt something was wrong. "No matter what, Xu Shaoqing is still the young mistress of a wealthy family."
What disease could possibly be spreading? Doctors are usually not that loose-lipped.
"So you mean the Third Young Master deliberately spread the rumor that the Third Young Mistress was seriously ill? What's his motive...?"
Before she could finish her question, Wang Yan glanced at her sister in horror.
Wang Ying's expression changed, and she quickly came up to shut her sister up, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, it must be the old ladies in our village who heard it and are spreading rumors."
Let's stop gossiping here and go see our brother; we're going back tomorrow.
Wang Yan quickly shut her mouth and went inside to pack her things. She put her brother's books and other belongings into a basket, which she now placed on the carriage so they could leave tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Fatty Wang and his men got up, packed their things, and prepared to drive the carriage back home.
However, I also had breakfast here: corn porridge and homemade meat pies.
I made two extra meat pies, planning to take them with me on the road.
As they approached the village entrance, they ran into the Third Young Master again, quite by chance.
Who would have thought that this family of lackeys could actually afford to ride in a carriage now!
The third young master was in a bad mood and the carriage was stopped.
"So? Is Wang Xing's leg crippled?"
Isn't that a bit disgusting? Wang Ying took a deep breath, "Replying to young master, no! My brother can still take the imperial examination."
"We must thank you, young master, for releasing my brother and me from the manor back then. Now that we live upright and honest lives, we are qualified to take the imperial examinations."
Wang Ying didn't dare to directly insult him, so she spoke in a slightly more subtle way.
Moreover, Gu Ting either didn't notice it, or he might have noticed but didn't care.
After replying, the group drove off in the carriage. Suddenly, the Third Young Master picked up a bamboo stick and whipped the horse.
The horse was startled and immediately bolted onto the road. Fortunately, the driver was experienced and hadn't hit it too hard. He quickly calmed the horse down.
The people in the car quickly went to protect Wang Xing. After the horses stabilized and it was confirmed that Wang Xing was alright,
"Damn it! That pervert!" Wang Yan couldn't help but curse.
Aunt Wang frowned as well, "Why does the Third Young Master look so crazy now?"
………………………………………………………………
The family took Wang Xing back home, and then Fatty Wang took care of him at home.
Wang Yan and the others went to the foot massage shop to tidy up. As soon as they got there, they saw Uncle Chuan and the others coming over.
"Girl, why haven't you opened the door for several days in a row?"
"I went out for a few days and haven't had time to do anything."
I had planned to come over and tidy up the tables, chairs, and ingredients, but I left in a hurry that day and didn't have time to do so.
Many of the vegetables have probably gone bad and should be discarded.
I didn't expect Uncle Chuan and his group to want to come over for dinner. It's really not going to happen today, given the state of the restaurant.
"The shop is really too busy today, we didn't even buy any vegetables or noodles."
"We're having some new dishes tomorrow, and Uncle will be coming over to join us."
"Okay, okay."
My little shop actually has a few customers who are willing to come back to eat here.
But what dishes should we serve tomorrow? Wang Yan looked at the lemons in the small room.
Just then, another customer arrived. I went out to see what was going on and found it was a young maidservant. Gui Xiang had sent her.
Gui Xiang and her grandmother both loved their family's glutinous rice cakes, so they specially sent a maid to order a table of food.
Tomorrow she's bringing her grandmother over for dinner so her grandmother can try her family's dishes.
At this moment, Wang Yan did not know that it was Gui Xiang who had ordered the food. After seeing off the girl who made the reservation, she turned around and continued thinking about lemons.
Lemonade, lemon tea, lemon chicken feet, lemon shredded chicken.
Make some lemon jam with lemon water, then you can just mix it with the sauce later.
Wash the lemons, peel off the outer skin, soak them in water for half an hour, then take them out, squeeze out the peel and set them aside.
Remove the seeds and white pith from the lemon pulp. Then cut the remaining lemon pulp into small pieces.
Sprinkle granulated sugar, honey, and chopped lemon pulp into the pot. The ratio of granulated sugar to lemon pulp is 1:1.
After stir-frying in the pan for 15 minutes, add the lemon peel (after squeezing out the water), and cook until the sugar dissolves and turns amber and bubbling. Then turn off the heat.
Place the lemon curd in a small, dry, and oil-free wine jar. When adding water, simply scoop out a spoonful and mix it with warm water.
"We need to give this thirsty creature a name, right? What should we call it?" Wang Ying asked her younger sister.
"His name is Sheribe, it's a nice name." Wang Yan had heard this name in a book before.
The refreshing fruity aroma and sweet and sour taste are perfect for when it gets warmer. Just add a couple of ice cubes to make it even better.
With its perfect balance of sweet and sour, and its light and refreshing taste, it's sure to be a hit with everyone.
As for the next dishes, there are spicy and sour chicken feet and spicy and sour shredded chicken.
Let's do it the modern way, adding all sorts of seasonings. Let's adjust the seasonings, do it the way we normally would.
Wang Yan's small shop made the chicken feet, and the shredded chicken was given to the restaurant.
Then there will be a banquet tomorrow, and Uncle Chuan and his group will be coming to eat in the afternoon.
Uncle Chuan loves spicy food, but today all I can think of are dishes made with lemon. I wonder if he'll like the sour and spicy flavor?
