Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

Jiang Shuyao hasn't seen Zhou for several days, but she used to come to Shouning Hall every day to ask for peace.

The Zhou family does not engrave virtuous filial piety in the bones like Xu family. It is not unreasonable to learn from Xu family's gentleness and dignity, but it can be said that it is hard to learn to be generous and dignified.

Jiang Shuyao doesn't like Zhou's. Zhou hadn't looked at her with a good face since she got married. Of course, she didn't have a good face to anyone, and she was always holding back.

Although she doesn't know much about Zhou's family, she can roughly piece together Zhou's experience from just a few words. It would seem a bit exaggerated to say that he was indignant with Zhou's experience, but thinking about Lin's experience, Jiang Shuyao would inevitably have some sympathy for Zhou's.

Seeing her look bad, Xu guessed that she was still caring about what happened that day, and advised: "Don't think too much, the third brother is different from the second brother."

Jiang Shuyao, who has always been introverted, said something like this, and Jiang Shuyao was a little surprised: "No, I'm not worried and thankful... My husband will take a concubine one day, but I feel uncomfortable for the second wife."

Hearing this, Xu's eyebrows instantly softened a lot.

She took Jiang Shuyao's hand to comfort her and stopped persuading her.

After the two were separated, Jiang Shuyao walked to the Tingzhu Courtyard. When passing by the courtyard of the second room, he looked far away and sighed softly.

"What are you looking at?" There was a sudden voice behind him.

Jiang Shuyao was taken aback, turned around to see, Zhou Shi did not know when he was standing behind her, with sharp eyebrows.

She used to learn Xu's dress, suppressing her heroic spirit and pretending to be humble and dignified, which inevitably seemed a bit funny. Today, she didn't deliberately dress up, Jiang Shuyao realized that Zhou's appearance was somewhat similar to herself, and they were both bright and beautiful.

"I... passing by." What else can I see, of course, is the second room.

Of course Zhou thought of this. That day, she made a big fuss and was seen by the whole government as a joke. At this time, when she met Jiang Shuyao, who was present at the time, she was a little embarrassed.

But she has been holding back a hostile temper for so many years. Naturally, she will not soften because of her embarrassment. On the contrary, she will be sharper and her tone will be irritable: "Then you go quickly, don't stand here."

Jiang Shuyao let out an "Oh", turned and left without replying.

Zhou looked at her back, with mixed feelings in his heart.

＊

Zhou's body is full of thorns, and everyone is unhappy. No one wants to touch her mold, but there are some things that can be avoided without trying to hide.

The old lady believes in Buddhism and will go out every time a few days pass. The female family members of Xie Guogong's mansion are naturally accompanied.

Jiang Shuyao got into the carriage and saw the hostile Zhou sitting in the corner at first glance. When he turned his head, Xie Pei, who had always disliked her, sat next to him.

Originally, Xie Pei was going to ride the same carriage with the old lady, but she felt that the old lady’s carriage was too boring, and she did not want to ride with the juniors. In the end, she could only ride in the carriage Jiang Shuyao.

Hey. Jiang Shuya sighed silently.

Thinking about staying with the old lady to serve the Xu family, Jiang Shuyao looked at the two people in the carriage with a calm face, and suddenly felt that it was not intolerable.

The carriage drove steadily and slowly, and Jiang Shuyao couldn't sit still after a while.

I lifted the car curtain to look outside, the view was nice, but it was still dull and boring after a long time.

She lowered the curtain and lifted the food container that she had brought in.

What do you do when you are bored? Of course it is to eat.

Jiang Shuya took out the water sac and pulled it out, and the rich and long sweet smell instantly spread throughout the carriage.

Speaking of drinking, how can we miss milk tea?

Thinking of sitting on the carriage for a few hours, she deliberately made a few more cups. Anyway, it's hot now, and drinking cold milk tea is just right.

Smelling the sweetness, Zhou Shi and Xie Pei unanimously frowned and looked at her.

How happy Jiang Shuyao always came, didn't mind the eyes of the two of them, and drank a sip of milk tea with their heads up.

The sweet but not greasy milk fragrance spreads in the mouth with the refreshing aroma of black tea, and the coolness slips into the stomach all the way, and the irritability is immediately relieved.

Drinking milk tea was a bit monotonous, so she grilled some dried pork.

The dried pork is sliced ​​into square slices. The color is brownish red. Because it is brushed with a layer of honey, the surface is shiny with honey, and it looks delicious with the sesame on the noodles.

Jiang Shuyao made several flavors of dried pork, the sweet and salty is the original flavor, the darker color is the spicy flavor, and the brown cumin flavor is neatly stacked in the food box.

Wipe your hands, pick up a piece of dried pork and put it in your mouth. The thickness of the pork breast is moderate, just to roast the moisture of the pork. It tastes dry and not firewood. It is worth chewing slowly. It is salty and sweet, with meaty but no fishy taste, and has a delicious aftertaste.

Eat a few slices of dried pork and drink a bite of milk tea. No matter how boring the journey is, you can bear it.

Xie Pei was at the age of gluttony. Seeing Jiang Shuyao eating deliciously, she felt empty. There are pastries in the car, but she can't take them out to eat, because doesn't it mean she is greedy?

Jiang Shuyao ate happily, one piece after another. From time to time, he would bite one end of the dried pork, slowly tore a small strip with his teeth, and then put it in his mouth and chew it carefully. Xie Pei scratched his heart and wanted to know what the dried pork was. taste.

The lid of the food box was open, and the delicious aroma of dried pork remained for a long time. Xie Pei's gaze fell on the neat and crystal clear dried pork and swallowed secretly.

Zhou's is Twister, Xie Pei is awkward and stubborn, looking at Jiang Shuyao, he wants to pick a needle.

"Have you eaten enough? The car is full of flavors."

Jiang Shuyao didn't catch the stubbornness at all, and opened the curtain: "Is this the head office?"

Xie Pei felt stunned in a circle on the cotton.

Jiang Shuyao had a good sense of ritual for drinking milk tea, and he brought a reed tube, so the car was full of the sound of her drinking milk tea.

"Tons—Tons—Tons—"

Xie Pei was suddenly thirsty.

"Tons—Tons—Tons—"

Xie Pei picked up the teacup and poured a cup of tea. The tip of his nose was sweet and fragrant, and the contrast of the tea in his mouth looked dull and bitter.

Seeing Jiang Shuyao about to drink water again, Xie Pei couldn't help but said, "Drink so much, aren't you afraid that you won't find a place to go to the toilet later?"

This reminds Jiang Shu that he is sluggish. There were no public toilets in ancient times. It was a problem to go to the toilet after drinking too much.

She looked down at the several water sacs she had prepared, was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Are you drinking?" She can't hold it alone, but can drag one into the water.

Xie Pei did not expect that she would take the initiative to invite herself to drink. He was taken aback when she heard the words, and her expression became even more awkward.

She mumbled: "I don't drink it."

...

"Tons—Tons—Tons—"

Zhou looked at the two people in the car drinking milk tea frantically, and his temple beat a few times.

She has been criticized for not being a dignified lady, but what happened to the two people in the car now? Even if it was her, she wouldn't make such a sound when she drank water, she was such a beautiful lady in Beijing.

"I'm talking about you--" She was already in a irritable mood, but now she is even more irritable. Just as she was about to confuse people, Jiang Shuyao interrupted her suddenly.

"Second sister, come some?"

Looking at the food box handed in front of him, Zhou was taken aback.

It is true that she has a bad temper, and it is true that she did not feel the kindness of others after marrying in the capital. To put it bluntly, she was too sensitive to become what she is now.

For Jiang Shuyao, it was a habitual question. After all, before, everyone would casually ask people around him whether to eat something. But it was different for Zhou. She didn't treat her well after Jiang Shu got married. She even disliked her reputation and didn't want to contact her more.

She clenched her fists and looked embarrassed.

When she first arrived in Beijing, everyone thought she was rude and unruly, and there were frequent jokes in the banquet. She cried so many times, worked hard, and finally learned the appearance of a lady in Beijing. But she has become the most mean and picky person she has ever hated. Because Jiang Shuyao has a bad reputation, she has never liked her and deliberately draws a line with her, as if she can completely throw away her crude past.

She lowered her eyes and hesitantly raised her hand to pick up a piece of dried pork, her voice dry, "Thank you."

The sound is too small, completely covered by the sound of wheels driving.

Jiang Shuyao didn't hear it, and continued drinking milk tea and looking out the window.

Zhou's embarrassment had nowhere to hide, and he was ashamed that he was about to squeeze the veil in his hands. Repeated several times, finally put the pork preserved in his mouth.

The bitterness in the mouth is replaced by sweet and salty taste. There is a thin layer of honey juice on the surface of the pork breast, which allows the umami taste of the pork to be fully displayed. The meat is baked to be dry and tough. Spicy, rich in taste and endless aftertaste.

It was very delicious, but she didn't want to take the second slice anymore, facing the wall of the car, her heart was bitter.

Xie Pei's fondness for milk tea far exceeded Jiang Shuyao's imagination, and he drank a bag of water sacs after a while.

She drank too quickly, and after a while she was eager to urinate.

After holding back for a few moments, I couldn't help it, flushed and asked Jiang Shuya if he wanted to go to the toilet.

Jiang Shuya thought about it when she said it, and the two people stopped the carriage in embarrassment.

It was the first time Xie Pei went to the toilet in the wild. He couldn't wait to get into the mouse hole and lead Jiang Shuyao into the woods.

The maids followed from a distance, not daring to provoke this ashamed eldest lady.

"Alright, that's it." Jiang Shuyao didn't want to go inside.

Xie Pei nodded in agreement after making sure that no maids could see them.

The two of them resolved their eagerness and went back, only to find that the maids who were guarding the distance had disappeared.

"Did you go in the wrong direction?" Jiang Shuyao asked in confusion.

Xie Pei didn't know the direction either, just said: "Maybe."

So the two changed directions again, but still did not see the maid.

Jiang Shuyao was speechless: "It won't happen, can I get lost in the toilet?"

Xie Pei was even more embarrassed, her mouth slumped.

The two turned around again, and they were stunned when they turned around.

It's dark in front of you.

A group of brawny men with bodies like mountains and scars on their faces blocked their way.

The leader still had injuries on his body, and before Jiang Shuya could react, he ordered: "Knock it and take it away."

It happened so suddenly that Xie Pei fainted before he could scream. Jiang Shuyao's body reacted faster than his brain, and he turned his head and ran.

The culprit gritted his teeth and chased him immediately.

After all, Jiang Shuyao was a woman, she was no better than a gangster who was tall and strong, and her hair was torn apart within a few steps.

At this moment, a shout came from not far away: "Why are you not finished for so long?"

It's Zhou!

Jiang Shuyao's heart shrank sharply. He was in a special situation. Zhou would never bring a guard when he came over. Isn't he hitting the muzzle of the gun when he comes here?

Her call for help was immediately replaced with "Run!"

The culprit pulled off her hair fiercely, and whispered: "Chasing!"

Jiang Shuya was anxious, praying that Zhou would run fast.

However, before the culprit stepped to chase him, a familiar figure emerged from the woods in front of him.

Zhou looked at the scene in front of him. Although he was astonished, he did not show any fear. He said solemnly: "Let go of them, the guard is behind me, and we will be here soon."

Jiang Shuya listened to the culprit behind him, breathing for a while.

Just when she thought that the culprits were going to let them go, the one who took the lead suddenly laughed: "Then we can't let them go. You are the bargaining chip."

When the voice fell, someone ran towards the Zhou clan.

Zhou's face was tense, without the slightest intention of running away.

Just when the culprit was about to touch her, she suddenly lifted her skirt, and her figure was like an electric kick, lifting her leg to his abdomen.

The culprit shrank, she leaned sideways and drew out his knife "Wh-".

In the blink of an eye, blood sprayed, and the brawny man's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.

The light of the knife was like frost, reflecting Zhou's face with cold light.

She casually wiped the sticky blood on her face with her sleeve and repeated: "Let them go."

Jiang Shuya heard the people behind him whirring and panting, obviously very angry.

There was a thick and uneasy silence all around, which was about to erupt.

With a violent sound, the gangsters behind him drew their swords and rushed towards the Zhou clan.

It was a scene where Jiang Shuyao stared hard at the front. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the back of his neck, and his eyes went dark, and he fell softly to the ground.
