The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 93- 94

　　Chapter 93 Recruitment

　　The two parties quickly discussed the matter, but because Mu Qiong didn't bring any money and had to go to class in the afternoon, the deed and payment were scheduled for the next morning.

　　After the discussion, it was already time for lunch. Fu Yun'an offered an invitation: "I've already come here, why don't you come to my house for dinner? The cook in my house is very skilled."

　　"Then trouble Dr. Fu." Mu Qiong said.

　　It was the first time for Mu Qiong to visit Fu's house. As soon as he entered, he felt that the layout here was very special.

　　At this time, some people prefer wealth, some prefer elegance, but if the house and courtyard of the Fu family should be described, it should be called "simple".

　　There were no pots of flowers and plants in the yard, and there were not many things in the house.

　　To be honest, Mu Qiong quite liked this arrangement.

　　The room facing the gate of the Fu family is a place for entertaining guests. In the middle of the room, there is a wooden Eight Immortals table that looks thick, and there are a few wooden chairs and a wooden coffee table next to it.

　　Fu Yun'an asked Mu Qiong to sit down on the chair next to him, then called someone to bring tea, and asked the cook in her forties who brought the tea to cook.

　　People at this time are very particular about drinking tea. When Mu Qiong went to Wei Ting's house before, the teacup served was very small, but it was different in Fu Yun'an's house. Boiled water in one cup and green tea in the other.

　　"I'm used to drinking water from a big cup when I'm abroad, it's a bit unsightly, I'm laughing at you." Fu Yun'an took the glass of boiled water.

　　"Actually, you should use a larger cup for drinking water." Mu Qiong said, he is also used to drinking water from a large cup. In modern times, he always carries a thermos, and takes two sips when he is thirsty.

　　The Fu family hired a cook who helped with cooking and housework and a coachman. The coachman usually did some work such as chopping firewood. In addition, Sun Dalin would come over from time to time to help Fu Yunan run errands or something.

　　Mu Qiong thinks this is very good, if not for their family eating at Ping An Middle School on weekdays, he would also like to invite a cook to cook at home after moving.

　　The cook in Fu Yun'an's house started cooking after serving tea, and it didn't take long for her to bring several dishes.

　　The braised pork made of the best pork belly is shiny, the green chives and the yellow-orange-orange eggs go together very well, and the thumb-sized fried fish smells delicious. In addition, there is a plate of cold seaweed , a bowl of stewed bamboo shoots in sauce, and half a braised duck that was cut open and poured in marinade.

　　Braised pork and stewed duck are dishes that take a lot of time to make. The cook has not been away for a long time, so it is reasonable to not make them so quickly. I am afraid that these two dishes are brought back.

　　After taking two bites, Mu Qiong was even more sure of this point - the braised pork and braised duck were both very delicious, and obviously a lot of seasoning was added.

　　In ordinary people's homes, the ingredients are generally not so complete.

　　Mu Qiong smiled and praised the cook's skills.

　　The cook really deserves his praise, those few vegetarian dishes are also delicious.

　　During the meal, Mu Qiong noticed that Fu Yun'an's table manners were very good, and the way he ate was pleasing to the eye.
