The eldest daughter of Deng Xiang's family used an embroidery needle to comb her hair, and asked carefully: "I heard a rough idea of what you just said, are you going to hire a cook?"
Mu Juaner nodded: "Exactly."
The eldest daughter of Deng Xiang's family hesitated and continued: "Your two nephews, Uncle Deng Xiang, are cooks, but they are country cooks and have never seen the big world in the city. They have some skills, but I don't know if they can join Acheng's job."
Eye."
Yan Yan hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you are a country cook, as long as you are familiar with it!"
Although cooks in the countryside are not as knowledgeable as cooks in the city, they still have basic skills on the stove and are much better than novices.
The eldest daughter of Deng Xiang's family nodded immediately: "They are experienced hands, and they are all skills inherited from the family. Your brother Deng Xiang was born in this business."
Yanyan made the decision immediately.
The eldest daughter of Deng Xiang's family hurried back to talk to Uncle Deng Xiang about the matter.
Deng Xiangbo's family was a sincere family. They had received help from Yan Yan earlier and were looking for repayment. Now that they heard that they were in need of kitchen help, they immediately led Yan Yan and Bi Cheng to Deng's Village outside the city.
Dengjiazhuang is on the edge of Luwu City, only a dozen miles away from the city. Bi Cheng personally drove Yan Yan and Deng Xiangbo and entered the village just after noon.
Dengjiazhuang is located on the hillside of the northern foot of Luwu Mountain. Almost everyone in the village has the surname Deng, and their ancestors all come from the same ancestral hall.
Deng Xiangbo brought Yan Yan and Bi Chengyi into Zhuangzi, and almost all they met were relatives of Deng Xiangbo, who were particularly friendly and familiar with them.
It has been half a year since Yan Yan came to the world of mountains and seas. He has never been to a village in this world. It feels quite new.
As soon as the carriage entered Dengjiazhuang, she got out of the carriage and stood at the entrance of Zhuangzi to look at the small village in front of her.
It's early winter, and compared to the city, Zhuangzi looks particularly peaceful and peaceful.
The wooden and stone houses are scattered in a scattered manner, divided into squares by simple earthen fences. Along the dirt road, among the high and low chimneys, the persimmon trees with all their leaves have lost their leaves, holding small lanterns like persimmons on fire, just like on the simple gown.
The red velvet buckle adds a bit of vitality to the bleak season, revealing a vivid human touch.
Not far away, a turbulent silver belt is embedded under the mountains.
After setting up their cars and sedans, Bi Cheng and Deng Xiangbo came out of the village to look for her.
Yan Yan pointed at the river and asked, "Is that river famous?"
Deng Xiangbo smiled and said: "Miss Tang has just arrived here not long ago. That river is the famous Zegenshui!"
Yan Yan had already turned around, but stopped when he heard these words.
Turning back to look at the other side of the river, she said in a low voice: "That's the water of Zegen."
After forgetting about the river for a moment, Yan Yan retracted his gaze, followed Deng Xiangbo towards the village, and asked casually: "Your ancestors lived here, have you ever heard of Gu Diao?"
Bi Cheng glanced at his master without any trace.
Is his master trying to scare people again?
Deng Xiangbo smiled and said: "Gu eagle, I often hear about it. Women talk about this thing every day and use it to frighten unruly children. All the children in Dengjiazhuang say this thing scares them. Hahaha..."
Yan Yan did not smile, and then asked: "Has anyone really seen it before?"
Deng Xiangbo smiled and shook his head: "That's not true."
"I heard from my elders that this thing was born in the water. It is a huge monster and will cause great trouble in this world. But my ancestors of the Deng family all lived here, and I have never heard of anyone seeing it with their own eyes."
"Haha, it's probably just a rumor, just to scare children who like to play in the river."
Yan Yan asked again: "Have you heard that there are always troubles when hunters go into the mountains to hunt at night recently?"
Bi Cheng, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Yan Yan again.
Master, she still remembers the mutant Shehu.
Deng Xiangbo nodded: "I've heard about this. It's been very strange in the city."
Seeing Yan Yan's serious expression, Deng Xiangbo thought she was scared because she rarely left the city, so he smiled and reassured her: "Miss Tang, don't be afraid. What you are talking about is about the east of the city. I heard that wild grass grows in the mountains over there."
"This kind of grass is unlucky. It is said that it is the spirit of an innocent person. If you eat it, the beasts in the mountains will go crazy. We are here at the northern foot of the mountain, and we have never heard of any beasts hurting people."
Wild grass?
This thing sounded familiar to Yan Yan, as if he had read it in some book.
The three of them were walking and chatting, and Deng Xiangbo led them into a farmyard.
As soon as I entered the door, four or five people came out to greet me.
The man walking in front was about the same age as Deng Xiangbo. Deng Xiangbo introduced to Yan Yan and Bi Cheng: "This is my second brother. He was a country cook before he got married. Now his two sons are also from the country.
Chef. The two nephews my wife mentioned to you are the children of my second brother’s family.”
After Deng Xiangbo finished speaking, two men in their twenties standing behind came up to say hello to Yan Yan and the others.
The two juniors are named Deng Jiang and Deng Hai. The two brothers look to be about the same age as Bi Cheng.
The father and son had loyal smiles on their faces, and they looked like they had the same down-to-earth nature as Deng Xiangbo.
The second uncle of the Deng family took two steps forward, saluted Master and Disciple Bi Cheng, and said with gratitude on his face: "I have heard about what happened to my third brother's family. You saved my brother's family from a big disaster. This kindness should be greatly appreciated by my family.
"
"I heard that your family wants to hire a cook. As long as you don't mind it, we, the three of us, and the seven or eight apprentices under my command will be dispatched as you please, and we will have no problem with it!"
As soon as the second uncle of the Deng family finished speaking, the door of the main room opened, and a capable woman in coarse clothes came out. She smiled and said: "You are an honored guest who has come all the way, so I don't invite you in to talk. The older you get, the less sensible you are.
Hehehehe~”
Before anyone arrives, smile and smell it first.
Yan Yan glanced sideways, and saw that the middle-aged woman had already walked up to him neatly, with a cheerful smile on her round face. She was a typical rural woman.
The woman habitually stepped forward to hold Yan Yan's arm, but when she saw Yan Yan's appearance clearly, she retracted her outstretched hand in embarrassment.
He smiled and smoothed things over: "Ah, this girl is made of white jade, right? We are so shy that we don't want to touch others, so hurry up and sit inside!"
Deng Xiangbo smiled and introduced: "This is my second sister-in-law. She has the hottest temper among all the women in the village. You can joke with her."
Everyone else laughed, and everyone gathered around Bi Cheng and Yan Yan into the main room.
The light in the main room was dark, so the second aunt of the Deng family moved a large square table in front of the window, placed a high-backed wooden chair beside the table, and temporarily found a piece of washed floral cloth to cushion the chair surface.
After doing this, the second aunt of the Deng family raised her head and called to Yan Yan: "Girl, come and sit here. The girl looks like a naturally delicate person. With the girl's all-over style, our place has become a pig's nest."
, girl, don’t take it too seriously.”
Yan Yan thanked the second aunt of the Deng family and sat down without any resentment.
The second aunt of the Deng family moved the charcoal basin to Yan Yan's feet again.
Several men, including Bi Cheng, consciously sat farther away from Yanyan and began to discuss the serious matter of helping the cook.
The second aunt of the Deng family served everyone hot tea and went out.
After a while, he came back and held a large pea-green coarse porcelain bowl in his hand. Steam was rising from the bowl, and he held it in Yanyan's hand.
"There is nothing good at home. It's cold outside. Girl, drink a bowl of this while it's hot to get rid of the coldness on your body."
Yan Yan looked down at the contents of the bowl and was suddenly startled.
