Qiantang Academy.

Xiao Fan is a little confused now. Did he really think too much? Did he blame Ouyang Xu wrongly?

Looking at Ouyang Xu saying goodbye to his classmates not far away, Xiao Fan couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

After these two days of observation and interaction, Xiao Fan discovered that Ouyang Xu was indeed very popular in the academy.

Xiao Fan also specifically asked his teacher Zou Fuzi before, and it turned out that Zou Fuzi also had a very good impression of him.

It is said that he respects his teachers, makes good friends with his classmates, and has great literary talent. With his knowledge and articles, he is very likely to be on the gold list in the future.

"Brother Xiao, why haven't you gone back yet?" Ouyang Xu saw Xiao Fan standing at the entrance of the academy and refused to leave, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, that's right," Xiao Fan replied: "Didn't Brother Ouyang say before that he wanted to meet Zhuo Jing and thank her in person for saving her life?"

"Oh? Madam Zhao agrees to meet me?"

"My wife said it was just a small effort, so there is no need to thank you again and again. But if Brother Ouyang really wants to thank you in person, it depends on when you are free. I will just take you there then."

"In my opinion, Brother Xiao, how about I pay you a visit next time I take a rest?" Ouyang Xu asked after pondering for a while.

"Is it time to take a bath?" Xiao Fan thought for a while and replied: "It's not impossible, but when the time comes, my wife and I will play polo at the polo field outside the city. Brother Ouyang, do you want to come with us?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Although I have never played on the court, I loved watching polo matches when I was in Tokyo. I really look forward to catching a glimpse of the virtuous couple on the court." Ouyang Xu said with a look of anticipation.

"Easy to say, easy to say," Xiao Fan said happily: "Then I will make an appointment with a few classmates and treat it as an outing."

"So good!"

"In that case, it's settled, let's take our leave."

The spring breeze was so good that the horse's hoof was broken, so Xiao Fan returned home with Jia Quan, who was carrying a large iron pot on his back.

The pot was picked up when passing by the blacksmith's shop, but Jia Quan, who was carrying the pot on his back, seemed a little unconcerned.

"Guanren? Is this the wok you're talking about?"

"Yes, I will personally cook two dishes tonight so that you can have a taste of my cooking." Xiao Fan said confidently.

"Ah? Official, have you ever cooked?" Jia Quan said with a look of disgust on his face: "Don't let the food you cook become inedible and spoil the ingredients. Didn't you say that Sister Sanniang is coming over today? I haven't seen you for a long time.

Let’s try Sister Sanniang’s craftsmanship.”

Not long after entering the house, he saw Zhao Pan'er accompanying Sun Sanniang and her family while strolling through their garden.

Fu Zifang, who was sitting on the swing and being pushed around by the boy, shouted happily: "Aunt Pan'er, your garden is so big and there are so many fun things. Can I come and play here often in the future?"

"What are you playing for? You only know how to play, why can't you focus more on studying?" When Sun Sanniang heard Fu Zifang, she just wanted to play and asked him to study hard.

"It's okay, kid. You have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't push him too hard."

"Xiao Fan, are you back?" Sun Sanniang looked back when she heard Xiao Fan's voice: "You are a scholar and a great talent. That must be right. But Fu Zifang is not good. He plays too much and doesn't even study.

, I know how to skip classes every day.”

"Turning class? That's not okay. If you skip class again in the future, I won't let you come over to play." Xiao Fan lectured Fu Zifang: "However, if you take classes well, Uncle Xiao, I can buy you something you want."

thing."

"Then we have an agreement!" Fu Zifang jumped off the swing and ran to Xiao Fan: "Then let's pull the hook."

"Okay, pull the hook and hang yourself. It won't change for a hundred years." After pulling the hook, Xiao Fan patted him on the back of the head: "Go and play with your brother Jia Quan."

Xiao Fan took the iron pot that Jia Quan was carrying and asked him to play with Fu Zifang. Then he said to Sun Sanniang: "Sister Sanniang, let's go to the kitchen and try my skills. How about it?"

"I've never tasted the cooking methods of our Mr. Xiao, but today I want to see what you scholars think of the cooking methods from the books?" Sun Sanniang said with great expectation.

"Then please look forward to it, I won't disappoint you."

Xiao Fan was very confident. Although he was not a great chef in his previous life, he had been able to cook since he was a child, and he had a few specialty dishes that were praised by his family and guests.

After leading everyone to the kitchen, they saw Huiniang leading the people in the kitchen to prepare dinner for the evening.

"Master, mistress, why are you in the kitchen?" Hui Niang asked curiously.

"I want to cook a few dishes today, so you don't have to worry about us."

Xiao Fan walked around the kitchen, looked at the available ingredients, and had an idea of ​​what to cook.

Although the seasoning is not as good as modern ones, it is still enough.

Xiao Fan first found a piece of lamb tenderloin and cut it into thin slices, then took the white part of a green onion and processed the white part of the green onion and the heart of the green onion separately.

After marinating the cut mutton in a little soy sauce, Xiao Fan began to prepare minced ginger, minced garlic and other ingredients.

Everything is ready.

Xiao Fan first poured some rapeseed oil into the pot, cooked the green onion hearts over high heat, and set aside.

Then pour an appropriate amount of vegetable oil and a little sesame oil into the pot, heat the oil in the pot and add the prepared minced ginger.

Then pour the previously marinated mutton slices into the pot and stir-fry over high heat. After the meat changes color, add minced garlic, pepper, a little salt, and most importantly, a little vinegar.

Keep the fire high, add the previously prepared garlic slices, white scallions and processed green onion hearts, stir-fry for about 30 seconds, and drizzle a little sesame oil before removing from the pan.

When Sun Sanniang saw that Xiao Fan had started to put the dishes on the plate, she asked him: "Is this good? Is this cooking?"

"Come and try my specialty dish, mutton stir-fried with green onions." Xiao Fan took a few pairs of chopsticks from the side and handed them to Sun Sanniang, Zhao Pan'er and others.

Sun Sanniang took off her chopsticks, took a mouthful of mutton and put it into her mouth.

"Yeah! It's fragrant, tender, and smooth. Is this what stir-fried vegetables taste like?" Sun Sanniang praised: "It is indeed different from steaming, boiling and barbecue. It has a unique flavor. This will definitely be regarded as a major feature of our restaurant.

."

"Sanniang, I'm just here to attract others. From now on, it's up to you to develop the dishes."

Xiao Fan was well aware of his cooking skills and how much he weighed. At most, he could only rely on cooking to make Sun Sanniang feel fresh. Compared with Sun Sanniang, it was still far behind.

Next, Xiao Fan used the ingredients in the kitchen to make stir-fried lotus root slices, scrambled eggs with leeks, and sliced ​​pork.

Later, Sun Sanniang also got interested and cooked the fried mutton with green onions that Xiao Fan had made before.

At dinner, Xiao Fan tasted the mutton fried with green onions made by Sun Sanniang, and secretly made up his mind that he would just eat vegetables honestly in the future.

At most, you can tell Sun Sanniang how to cook some dishes and let her cook them.

Because whether it was the control of heat or taste, he was completely defeated by Sun Sanniang, so he could only be on par with Sun Sanniang in terms of knife skills.

After dinner, we arranged a place for Sun Sanniang and her family to stay.

Xiao Fan took Zhao Pan'er and took a mandarin duck bath together before returning to the room.

"Fan Lang, do you know? Yin Zhang came to see me today," Zhao Pan'er said happily, lying on the bed with her chin supported by her hands and looking at Xiao Fan lying there, "She also said she knew she was wrong. I also felt her

I’ve really grown up, I’m so happy!”

"Then why didn't she come over tonight?" Xiao Fan was very curious.

"She is afraid that you will be unhappy and don't want to see her."

"What am I unhappy about? I'm happy if you're happy!" Xiao Fan hugged Zhao Pan'er and said with a smile, "Now let's do something that makes people happy."
