Chapter 16: Ancient Recipe

Inside of the city, Wen Rou was highly excited and found it hard to control her excitement

The two men who loved and protected her with their lives in their past lives had once again, appeared in front of her in this life

The snoas raining on the streets, and there were few people out and about The stalls on both sides of the street hurriedly kept their wares and closed their shops

Occasionally there are a few travellers that were crowding against the wall, and pointing at the government notice that Government Zhao had placed all over the town

Wen Rou could not help but giggle Looks like Government Zhao had yet to know that the bandits had already been eradicated This notice had barely been put up and Governain

Just now, she had only heard that Shen Yaoshan was assigned by the eet rid of the bandits But what about Ren Yue? Why did he co?

Shouldn’t Ren Yue be preparing for the imperial examination in the capital, and take part in this examination in the next year?

That’s right, he should be taking the imperial examination next year In the capital

Wen Rou’s heart was getting more and more confused Why these two former suitors of hers suddenly appeared in front of her in Xianyang?

That night, during dinner, Wen Rou eyes see on to the bowl of rice in her hand, and inadvertently poked the rice without eating much

“Rou Er, are you too exhausted fro in the kitchen?” Zhou shi+ put down her pair of chopsticks and put her hand on Wen Rou’s forehead

“Mother, I am fine It may be because the weather is very chilly today, and I do not have much appetite I am very tired and would like to excuse myself to take a rest in my room” Wen Rou replied with her head bowed down At this time, all she wants is to be left alone She excused herself and went to her room

“Hubby, too to ith you She is a girl and is too frail…” Zhou shi+ looked at her husband, Wen Shouzhen, and ied

Wen Shouzhen did not say a word, and just bowed his head in silence as he eats In his hter and disciple had ed to join forces and defeat chef Gao in the chef battle today

But Wen Ting did not knohen to keep quiet, “Mother, sister is really talented If she is not allowed to go to ith dad and learn cooking froreat pity!”

“Is there a brother like you? If not for you, Rou Er will not have to go to the restaurant and need not suffer!” Zhou shi+ put down her bowl, glare at Wen Ting, and i table

“I…” Wen Ting just stood there with his ape

“I have finished my meal!” At this moment, Wen Shouzhen also put down his bowl He looked at Wen Ting and barked, “Quick, finish your meal When you had your fill, remember to wash all the plates, bowls and chopsticks!” Then he left

Wen Ting sat on the dining table by hi in the air as he sat there Suddenly he vented his frustration and shouted “What the hell is going on? Why everything is somehow my fault and all the blame falls on me?”

Wen Rou lays on the bed She tossed and turned, unable to sleep The events during the day continuously repeated in her mind

“Ren Yue” and “Shen Yaoshan” were peret them

Wen Rou was flustered She really could not sleep She got up froifted her

This is cookbooks containing the recipes is very old, and its pages had turned yelloith age You could tell froo

“Father, chef Gao is the head chef of Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant His ancestor was an iive this cookbook to me?”

“Oh! Gao Yunpeng is aelse! So how could he kno to read? [1]”

Wen Rou picked up the cookbook The words that her father had said reappeared in her mind as a flashback

Frankly speaking, Wen Shouzhen is also a le word

But all chefs love having some face [3] and does not want to be embarrassed

Therefore, when chef Gao handed over the cookbook, Wen Shouzhen only flipped through it When he discovered it was filled ords that he could not understand, he immediately tossed the cookbook to Wen Rou

The cookbook that was useless for chef Gao is also useless for Wen Shouzhen – they both could not read

But for Wen Rou, it is a treasure grove In her past life, she had learnt to read In this life, she had often asked her brother to teach her to read and write as she was bored Therefore, reading this cookbook is not difficult for her

Wen Rou causally turned the pages and read it She unknowingly becomes more and more enchanted by what she read

“Oh, you can use stones to cook? And you cook fish in this way!” Wen Rou was talking to herself out loud She more read, the more absorbed she became, and the less frustrated she is

If not for the fact that it is quite late, Wen Rou really wanted to go to the kitchen, and try out the recipes

“Yi? There are also recipes forwine?” Wen Rou could not believe her eyes In the Zhou Dynasty, wine recipes are very rare

In the last few pages of the cookbook, there are several recipes forwine

Wine!

Wen Rou felt a tinge of hope for her future

A few days ago, the Yin family had delivered a jar of wine to their home This jar of as kept in the storeroom

Normally, her father, Wen Shouzhen, would have opened that jar of wine and have a bowl of wine at every meal

But right now, it is almost the Lunar New Year Wen Shouzhen was too busy at his work in the restaurant and teotten about it

Once in a while, when he mentioned this jar of wine, he would casually remark that he would drink the wine after the Lunar New Year
