The Space Doctor Became the Favorite of the Exiled Powerful Minister

Chapter 23 Food

 It turns out there is such a story.

Likewise, in the eyes of others, the bookstore owner’s daughter is more talented and capable than her, a village woman, and her family is better off than her.

If she hadn't used means, Cui Hejin would not have married her.

Even if he married her, he honestly could not give her any affection.

In that life, if she hadn't provoked him so well, he would have had a pure and cold temperament.

Jiang Zhiluo sighed in her heart, feeling a little bit more guilty.

 She automatically blocked the wood power, so she didn't listen to any sounds in the room.

Jiang Zhiluo continued to wrap the leek box.

Mrs. Cui didn't know what was going on in the house, so she happily helped light the fire.

She looked at Jiang Zhiluo from time to time, thinking that this was the leek box that Zhiluo mentioned.

 Even though she was in the capital, she had never eaten or seen a leek box.

 Even if he participated in a palace banquet, he never saw the royal chef doing it.

If everyone knew that leeks are such a delicious thing, they would definitely make them, but they don’t even have them in the capital.

Mrs. Cui looked at Jiang Zhiluo and felt that the temperament and demeanor of her daughter-in-law did not look like a girl from the village at all.

After Jiang Zhiluo wrapped the leek box.

“Mom, the sugar in this pot needs to be boiled for a while, and it’s getting late. Let’s fry the leek box first.”

 There are two pots on the left and right sides of the stove.

 Originally, Li Zheng lent them this house, so they had these things.

However, Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin only use one pot on weekdays, and leave the other pot for a long time.

It was also in the afternoon that Jiang Zhiluo scrambled scrambled eggs to make a leek box. Then she cleaned another pot and scrambled the eggs.

Now the little oil in the pot from the afternoon scrambled eggs is clean. There is no need to clean the pot, just pour the oil directly and fry the leek box over the fire.

Mrs. Cui said: "Zhiluo, I can just light the fire. It doesn't matter if the firewood is burning on the left and right stoves."

Place a piece of wood on the stove and it will burn for a long time without having to look at it, so burning two pots will not delay things at all.

"good."

Jiang Zhiluo stirred the sugar pot with a spoon. When she saw that the other pot was hot, she poured some oil and started frying the leek boxes.

 Liu Tingan was talking to Cui Hejin in the house about the master in the school.

"The Shi Mo School in Huaihua Lane is short of a master. He has two taels of silver a month. Brother Cui, you are so knowledgeable and you don't want to take the exam for fame. You can give it a try. I think you will definitely be accepted. Selected.”

“I took your previous handwriting and asked, and told the owner of Shishi Academy. Mr. Li from Shishi Academy was amazed when he saw your handwriting. You can try it tomorrow.”

Cui Hejin didn't speak, seeming to be thinking about something.

Liu Ting'an actually admires Brother Cui very much in his heart. He especially admires his thoughtfulness and talent. Not only that, his calligraphy is also very good, which is better than that of the great Confucian scholars.

"There is only such a private school in the town. If you go there, you will just teach some children. You will not be tired, and you will often take a nap. It is also close to your home. If you want to live in the school, you can live in the school. If you want to go home at night, you can live there. You can go home and live there, it’s very convenient…”

Liu Ting'an felt that with Brother Cui's academic ability, if he were to take the scientific examination, he would surely be on the list. Unfortunately, Brother Cui did not want to take the scientific examination.

　　Back when he was setting up a stall in the town to sell manuscripts and write letters for others, he was framed. Brother Cui happened to pass by and helped him prove his innocence.

 Otherwise, his reputation will be ruined, let alone his ability to study and take exams.

 Brother Cui is his benefactor.

Moreover, he was even more shocked when he read the book written by Brother Cui and worshiped him even more.

Liu Ting'an thought that with Brother Cui's appearance, children would find it pleasing to look at, and they would probably be willing to go to school. At this moment, Liu Tingan smelled the aroma of food in the air.

He sniffed hard and said, "What is it? It smells so good. It smells delicious."

Liu Tingan felt like his stomach was growling.

Liu Ting'an didn't feel hungry at first, but the scent was so tempting that it made him feel hungry and drool came out of his mouth.

Cui Hejin raised his eyes slightly and tapped the table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Ting'an breathed hard, stood up and leaned against the door, "No, Brother Cui, is your family making something delicious?"

 But what good food can be made in the village?

Liu Ting'an's family was relatively well off. He had a lot of land left by his ancestors so that he could study. However, even so, his family was very frugal. In fact, the cost of repairing pens, ink, paper, and inkstones was very expensive.

Even so, he has never smelled such a fragrant smell.

 What delicious food did Brother Cui cook at home?

 No, Brother Cui also knows a little about the situation at home, so how can he have any good ingredients for cooking?

 “Not clear!”

 But he guessed that Jiang Zhiluo might be cooking.

 He knows best how his mother’s cooking skills are.

 He can't cook either, at most he can make a fire.

 When he was in the Duke's Mansion, what he learned from an early age was reading, practicing calligraphy, writing essays, and then studying both civil and military arts to learn the Six Arts of a Gentleman.

He had never learned cooking skills, and even in the year after his exile, he did not know how to cook.

Although Liu Ting'an was curious, thinking about Brother Cui's family situation, he felt that since they were going to cook at home, he had better evacuate quickly so as not to cause trouble to them.

“Brother Cui, remember to go to school tomorrow. It’s two taels of silver a month. I have a holiday these two days. I’ll come see you tomorrow and I’ll accompany you there.”

After the explanation, Liu Tingan was about to leave.

 Opening the door and coming to the stove, the aroma becomes even stronger.

Liu Ting'an raised his hands to Mrs. Cui and said, "Old Madam, there is a lot of trouble today. I will go back first and visit you another day."

Mrs. Cui is very happy that Cui Hejin has made friends in this place, and it seems that this person comes from a scholar's family, and he looks bookish. Mrs. Cui is also happy that Cui Hejin has such a friend.

“It’s okay, He Jin has nothing to do at home. He has you as a friend, and we are all very happy to be able to chat with him.”

Although Mrs. Cui also wanted to keep someone to eat, she felt that the leek box was made of Zhiluo and she couldn't do it for her.

Liu Tingan felt that the fragrance in his nose was getting stronger, and he couldn't help but look to the side following the fragrance.

I saw Brother Cui's newly married wife standing by the pot and busy cooking. She didn't know what she was busy with, but the cooking was so fragrant.

Jiang Zhiluo turned the leek box over so that both sides were evenly cooked.

Hearing the sound, she raised her head slightly, but looked at Cui Hejin who had just walked out of the house.

He glanced at her, and there seemed to be tiny glimmers of light in his deep eyes, but they disappeared in an instant.

 But inadvertently it can confuse people's hearts, as if they have something to say.

Jiang Zhiluo made some inner guesses, and then said to the scholar: "I just happened to make some more leek boxes. Since you are my husband's friend, let's stay and have dinner together."

 Liu Ting'an didn't expect that Brother Cui's wife would say such a thing.

He clearly didn't seem to have a very good attitude towards her before.

 Thinking that he had said bad things about her to Brother Cui in the house, I felt a little uncomfortable and awkward.
