The sun is fading.
Yunchu finally pulled out all the weeds in the ground.
At this time, Ouyang Ye also came back carrying a small crucian carp as big as a palm.
Seeing Yun Chu just getting up from the ground, Ouyang Ye was surprised in his eyes: "Why hasn't the Queen Mother left yet?"
"If we don't get rid of the weeds, how will the cabbage grow?" Yun Chu patted the dust on his sleeves, "I just took a look and found that there is no one waiting in the yard. Does Mr. Ouyang plan to cook fish soup by himself?"
Ouyang Ye touched his beard: "Why, the Queen Mother can also cook soup?"
"I didn't know how to do it before, but after having children, I learned a lot." Yun Chu stepped forward, "I am not the Queen Mother now, I am just a little girl who wants to ask for help. Please give Mr. Ouyang a chance."
She revealed her purpose for the first time, which made Ouyang Ye feel a little more appreciative in his eyes.
He threw the little crucian carp on the desk: "Then I'll trouble the Queen Mother."
When Yunchu was in the palace, she would occasionally cook, making sweet-scented osmanthus cake, pumpkin soup, fish soup, chicken soup, etc. It was not difficult for her.
Break the belly of the fish, clean it, fry it in a pot, add water, and cook it into a milky white soup.
She called out: "Qiutong, go to the village and see if any house has tofu."
While Qiu Tong went to buy tofu, Yun Chu started cooking rice.
But she has some incompetence...because she has never cooked rice before and doesn't know how to operate it at all.
She put in the rice, put in the water, put the lid on the pot... it should be about the same, that's it.
When Qiutong bought the tofu, he put it into the fish soup and simmered it together, and the aroma overflowed.
Ouyang Ye was attracted by the aroma and walked to the kitchen: "I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Yun family, the Crown Princess, the Queen Mother, a person with such a noble status can actually cook."
"Sir, that's a compliment." Yunchu poured the fish soup into a bowl, put it on the table, and then took a rice bowl to serve the rice.
But when she opened the lid of the pot, she was immediately confused.
The rice looked uncooked at first glance and looked half-cooked.
"The Queen Mother put too little water." Ouyang Ye came over and took a look, "Cooking is like teaching and educating people. If there is too little water, it will be cooked with some raw ingredients. If too much water is put in, it will become gruel. You can't have more or less. , you have to grasp this degree."
"Yes, you have to grasp the scale." Yun Chu sighed, "But, how many people in this world are like me, unable to control this scale, and some even deliberately use the wrong scale to educate students."
Ouyang Ye said nothing more.
He walked to the dining table to drink the fish soup. I have to say that the crucian carp stewed with tofu was so delicious that he drank it all by accident.
Yunchu stepped forward, took away the soup bowl and washed it.
Then put it in the cupboard.
She walked to the door and said, "Mr. Ouyang, I'll take my leave now."
"Hey, are you just leaving like that?" Ouyang Ye scratched his white hair, "No more words?"
Yun Chu knew that the other party was already interested.
If you are dealing with an enemy, this is the time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
But what she is looking for now is an ally, and sincerity is the most valuable thing.
She smiled and said, "If Mr. Ouyang doesn't mind, I'll come back tomorrow."
She turned around, took advantage of the dusk, left the small courtyard, and found an inn to stay in a nearby city.
Yunchu arrived the next day before the sun came out. She saw Ouyang Ye picking chrysanthemum petals in the yard, spreading them out to dry in the yard, and then making chrysanthemum tea.
There was another person in the yard, also an old man with white hair, who looked about sixty or seventy years old.
It can be seen from the appearance of this man that he should be Ouyang Ye's eldest son. He used to be the governor of a nearby city and resigned when he was old.
"Father, we are really worried that you live here alone. Go back." The sixty-year-old man kept sighing, "It's not convenient to buy anything, and it's not convenient to see a doctor. What's the point of living here?"
"You little brat, are you cursing your father and me for getting sick?"
Ouyang Ye was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped his son on the back of the head.
"Oh, how old am I, and you still hit me..."
An old man who was nearly ninety years old was running around the yard chasing an old man who was sixty or seventy years old.
When they first saw Yun Chu coming in, the two of them calmed down.
Sheriff Ouyang was almost embarrassed to death when he saw the outsider. He coughed and said, "Who is this lady?"
"This is the Queen Mother." Ouyang Ye snorted, "Your father and I are going to live in the palace. Then it will be convenient for us to do anything. Do you think this is okay, you little brat?"
The cry of "little brat" made Sheriff Ouyang even more embarrassed, but he couldn't care less about the embarrassment right now.
"It turns out to be the Queen Mother." He hurriedly bowed and said, "The Queen Mother wanted to invite my father to be the emperor's master in the palace. The Queen Mother has found the right person. My father just can't be idle... I forcibly locked him up at the beginning. The hut school, my father was angry and lived here alone..."
"Who are you saying is angry!" Ouyang Ye's beard stood up in anger.
Sheriff Ouyang ignored his old father and continued to say to Yun Chu, "Since the school was closed, he has become a headless fly. He is so idle all day long. Who knew he was still so energetic at his age? I I also regret that I shouldn’t have closed the school. Alas... The Queen Mother looked at the vegetables in this field. They were planted until they died. They never grew up... Also, if I hadn’t given them to the pond every few months, If he releases the fish, he won’t be able to catch a single fish at all…”
Yun Chu: "..."
This is really different from what she imagined.
"Go away!" Ouyang Ye felt like he was completely humiliated and kicked his son on the butt. "You have nothing to do here, so get out of here."
"I haven't finished yet..." Sheriff Ouyang continued, "I come to visit his old man every three days. Every time we meet, he talks to me about the affairs of the court. Such a chaotic situation, my father He can analyze it clearly! Even though he is eighty-nine years old, he is no worse than those young people! The Queen Mother really hired the right person! I will pack up my things and send my father to the palace!"
It's good to be in the palace. There will be people to take care of him for food, clothing, housing and transportation. The most important thing is that the entire hospital is on call at any time, so he doesn't have to worry about his old father's health.
Ouyang Ye: "..."
I originally wanted to hold it, but it was ruined by this little bastard!
He coughed, raised his head and said, "I have to dry these chrysanthemums in the yard myself before going to Beijing tomorrow."
"Okay." Yun Chu agreed immediately, "Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for someone to pick you up."
When she left, standing on the carriage, she could still see the father and son chasing each other.
A smile appeared on her face and she said, "Qiu Tong, please arrange some secret guards to protect the Ouyang family secretly."
She couldn't let the Ouyang tribe become a handle for Chu Rui to threaten Ouyang Ye, just like Grand Master Xu.
The carriage drove slowly towards the capital, and arrived in the capital in the afternoon.
