Chapter 152: The Biggest Obstacle to Love
The white-skinned courtyard wall, the rosewood gate, and two stone lions in front of the door that do not look like lions. Unlike the stone lions after the Song and Ming dynasties, the shape is more inclined to the prototype. The later stone lion is the result of being totemized, and the prototype refers to the fox or pixiu.
These two stone lions look very majestic, and they should be the craftsmanship of famous masters. It looks like it's been a little old, as if it's a backdrop to the history of this house. It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, after all, the Yingchuan Xun clan is a descendant of Xunzi......
"Young master, is the young master back?" Seeing Xun Yu and Wang Yong getting out of the car from a distance, the two subordinates standing in front of the door obviously recognized her and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"I haven't been back for a long time, so come back and see, is my mother okay?" Xun Yu stepped forward and asked.
"The old lady is in good health and is about to go out to get together with a few friends, but if she knows that the young master is back, I am afraid that she will not go." The subordinate hurriedly replied, in the end, it was a family-like existence, and he didn't speak too seriously.
"Just report it, and I'm back!" Xun Yu nodded, then remembered something, and hugged Wang Yong's arm, "At the same time, tell her that I brought my boyfriend back!" ”
"Yo, the young master is actually enlightened? Okay, let's report the little one! Hearing this, the subordinate looked at Wang Yong scrutinically, then responded with a smile, and turned around and entered the room.
"Shall you go in?" Xun Yu shook Wang Yong's arm.
"Okay, let's go in!" Wang Yong nodded, although he felt that this trip would be very pitiful.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I was naturally amazed by the breadth of this courtyard. The so-called villas or courtyards in later generations, compared with this courtyard, must be weak. It is estimated that only the manor can be compared.
I don't know that the Xun family has expanded a house to this extent after hundreds of years of continuous acquisition of the surrounding land. I'm afraid it even went through three or four renovations, or even reconstructions, to reach this scale.
The good news is that this is a family home, not someone's house. The descendants of the Xun family all live here, and when the descendants of this generation reach adulthood, the older generation will pass away one after another, and the other collateral lines will move out and move in by the descendants.
"Coming back?" After a while, a beautiful woman walked out slowly, about forty years old, but according to the age of this world, I am afraid that she is already in her seventies and eighties.
The point is that she doesn't look old at all, maybe it's well-maintained, and she looks like she's just fully mature, but not fully ripe.
"The child meets his mother!" Xun Yu was also a little excited at the moment, let go of the hand holding Wang Yong, and stepped forward to salute and say hello.
"Wang Yong has seen Mrs. Xun!" Wang Yong stepped forward to salute.
"It's good, it's good, it's handsome, and the age is right!" Mrs. Xun looked at Wang Yong, completely with a look of 'mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law', "I don't know what position you are now, Your Excellency?" ”
"Wang is now ...... Strictly speaking, there is no position yet, but he is scheduled to serve as the chef under Cao Cao next year! Wang Yong thought about it carefully and replied.
"Is this still predetermined?" When Mrs. Xun heard this, she smiled a little.
"Wang has not yet obtained the qualification of an intermediate chef, so in order not to make it difficult for the master, he did not take office directly." Wang Yong replied.
"But!" Xun Yu hurriedly came forward to play a round, "Wang Yong is a first-class junior chef, he will take the intermediate exam next year, and it will be easy to pass, his skills, but there is nothing to say!" ”
"So that's the main reason you like him, right? You...... I used to like delicious food, and if my family has money, it is up to you, but now that I think about it, I really can't get used to you too much, and others will use some delicious food casually, and they will kidnap you. Mrs. Xun looked at Xun Yu and complained angrily.
Sure enough, knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Xun Yu's cute foodie is really easy to deal with. You just need to keep preparing food to eat, and you can catch it directly, it's so easy!
Of course, Xun's mother did not underestimate Wang Yong because of this, or even looked down on him. In order to prevent Xun Yu from being abducted so easily, she took a lot of effort and invited many senior chefs to prepare Xun Yu's meals.
Growing up eating the dishes of senior chefs since he was a child, Xun Yu's tongue has become more picky, and the average junior high school level chef is afraid that the dishes he cooks will be disliked. This is also the main reason why she was very dissatisfied with the food during her stay.
Yang Xiu may be a genius, but she has intermediate chef-level cooking skills, and the dishes she cooks are just as good as she eats.
Wang Yong can satisfy her, even to the point of talking about marriage, then it can basically prove that his skills are at least a senior chef, and even reach the threshold of a special chef!
Special chefs are also very rare in China, most of them directly become imperial chefs, or they are too old to retire to join the chef guild as elders and start classes and apprentices.
"Wang Yong's cooking skills really don't have to be said, by the way, even the former imperial chef Yang Ci, after seeing his skills, also took the initiative to come forward and accept him as a disciple!" Xun Yu hurriedly explained.
This is very particular, if it is directly said that Wang Yong was accepted as a disciple by Yang Ci, then at most it will be reminiscent of that his cooking skills are the result of Yang Ci's teaching, which can only be regarded as normal; But if Yang Ci was amazed by his cooking skills and took the initiative to accept him as an apprentice, it would highlight Wang Yong's level, at least the talent is beyond doubt.
"With such a high level, why are you still a junior chef?" Xunmu asked.
"Wang is an orphan, so in his early years, he has been traveling around the north and south of the river in order to have food and clothing, and only settled in Zhencheng a few months ago. After settling down, I have time to take the junior chef exam, ashamed, ashamed......" Wang Yong has long had an excuse for this.
"Self-taught, it's also rare!" Xun's mother nodded, but she heard that Wang Yong was an orphan, and she was a little dissatisfied, which meant that after the two got married, I was afraid that Xun Yu would not be able to obtain the power of Wang Yong's family.
You must know that the more than ten blind dates she prepared for Xun Yu are all real families! The door is right, there is not enough financial resources, how can Xun Yu continue to eat delicious food? If this continues, Xun Yu has lost weight, what should I do if it is ugly? I used to have fine clothes and food, but I suffered in the past, but there is no such saying!
"Don't underestimate Wang Yong, he is the founder of Sunshine Breakfast, and he has 20% of the shares of the Sunshine Breakfast chain!" Xun knew what his mother was worried about, so he stepped forward to defend it.
"I see...... Xun Yu wrote back some time ago, hoping that the family would participate in the Sunshine Breakfast Program.
Now I understand, my daughter has been helping her lover from the beginning, although joining this plan is also good for the Xun family!
"Seeing is believing, since you said that he is so good at cooking, how about showing his hand for dinner tonight?" Xun's mother was still not at ease, so she looked at Wang Yong.
"I'm sorry, it's been hard to cook in the past two days." Wang Yong directly rejected this proposal.
