The moon is high.

People who had been busy all day fell asleep quietly.

Zhishu lay beside Aunt Jichun, tossing and turning from time to time, unable to sleep well.

Ji Chun was woken up in a daze.

"what happened?"

Zhishu felt embarrassed when he saw that Jichun was woken up by him, and stopped tossing and turning.

She's actually nothing.

Today I came across too many new and interesting ways of cooking.

I was a little excited all of a sudden and couldn't sleep.

"It's okay, mother, it's just that the young master taught me a lot today, and I can't sleep."

Jichun looked puzzled.

"Why don't you continue studying tomorrow? What are you thinking about doing so late at night?"

Zhishu turned around and looked at Jichun in surprise.

"The world of food is so mysterious! My young master really broadened my horizons!"

"Let's take today's mouth-watering chicken for example. If we use the braised method, first..."

Zhishu suddenly remembered that the young master said that the cooking method cannot be revealed to outsiders!

He immediately fell silent.

"Mother, the young master won't let me say it."

Jichun chuckled.

"It's good that you're alert, but I'm your mother, and the indentures of our family are all with the young master!"

"There is nothing you can't tell mother. Mother will never betray the young master."

"Tell me what you think. Mom can also give you some advice."

She knew that her daughter had a talent for cooking.

The young master is definitely cultivating talents.

If Zhishu could learn something from the young master and have his own insights.

The young master will definitely look at her with new eyes!

Zhishu thought about it and realized that was exactly the case.

She knew exactly what her mother was doing, and she would never betray the young master.

I no longer have any reservations and want to speak out my thoughts.

"I just think that chicken can be cooked in many ways besides mouth-watering chicken, such as..."

Ji Chun saw that Zhishu was still hesitant to speak.

Somewhat funny.

"Girl, if you really don't want to say it, then don't say it. The young master asked you to keep it a secret so it's best not to tell anyone."

This girl, I don't want to talk about it, she can't sleep because of all the random thoughts.

Really.

Zhishu opened his mouth and his expression became shocked.

why!

She clearly meant that the chicken could be blanched, cut into pieces and braised, following the method of braised pork.

Improve it.

You can make braised chicken.

But when she talked to her mother, she wanted to talk about cooking.

I suddenly lost my voice!

There was great surprise in Zhishu's little eyes.

He rolled his eyes and continued speaking.

"Teriyaki spareribs can actually be..."

!!!

I can’t speak again!

what happened?

Ji Chun listened to the girl saying to keep half and the other half.

I didn't understand anything except the name of the dish.

Somewhat speechless.

"Do you want to say it or not? Why do you stop talking now?"

Zhishu spoke with difficulty.

"I want to learn from you about the magic of cooking, but... I... can't say it..."

Jichun chuckled.

"It's okay, young master is right, these recipes are confidential, you are right not to tell."

"Don't think too much. Mother won't blame you. It's just that it's getting late and I still have things to learn tomorrow. You should stop thinking about it and go to sleep first."

Zhishu was a little anxious and didn't know how to describe this magical thing that happened to him.

"Mom, I...I can't make a sound when I want to tell you the recipe..."

Jichun patted her back considerately.

"Good boy, you did the right thing. Mother understands."

Zhishu was a little anxious and didn't know how to express it.

"That's...that's what I want to say in my heart, but I can't say it, and I don't know why."

Jichun was also a little confused by Zhishu.

"Can't tell? What do you mean? Why can't you tell it?"

Zhishu was so anxious that he almost cried.

"I don't know, but when it comes to cooking, I just can't make a sound."

"Mom, have I been possessed by some evil spirit..."

Zhishu got goosebumps.

This feeling of being controlled is really terrifying...

After all, Jichun had served in a high-ranking family and was already quite old.

Although it also feels a little unbelievable.

But looking at Zhishu's expression, it doesn't seem like he is faking it.

His mind became active, and he thought for a while before asking.

"Before the young master taught you how to cook today, did he give you anything special to eat? Or did he do anything special?"

Some masters are afraid that their servants will get out of control, so they usually use special means to control them.

For example, poison techniques.

She had also heard about it from her former master.

There is a magical witchcraft in the Hunan region.

Not only can it enter the human body silently, it can also control the human brain!

As Mrs. Zhuang spoke, her face turned pale, and she was obviously very frightened.

If the young master had poisoned them, that would explain why she was like this!

Zhishu was terrified and tried hard to recall.

"I didn't eat anything, I just tried the food while it was cooking. Ah! That's right!"

"Before we started learning anything, the young master asked each of us to sign an agreement."

"I just put my fingerprint on it... It seems that one of the clauses is that I can't reveal the recipe to anyone..."

When Ji Chun heard this, his heart trembled.

"Agreement? But it's written in black on a white background, and the font is square. It doesn't look like something a normal person can write. Each word is the same size, very regular?"

Zhishu nodded hurriedly.

The calligraphy is so distinctive that even though I am uneducated, I am still amazed by it!

She can remember it without even having to recall it!

Ji Chun sighed secretly!

Yes!

The young master has signed this agreement with every servant today!

I think the poison was put in the ink!

Received the contents of the agreement and then controlled their brains.

Fulfill the agreement!

Ji Chun's hands and feet were cold.

Anyone who knows that there is a Gu in his body will behave like her!

Zhishu noticed that Jichun was acting strange and held her hand out of concern.

"mother?"

Jichun pulled himself together and patted Zhishu on the back.

His eyes became serious and he spoke to Zhishu word by word.

"Child, from now on, you must never betray the young master! Don't even have any thoughts about it, understand?"

The reason for this poison was that Mrs. Zhuang’s brother married a girl from Hunan.

I have only gained a rough understanding of the basics.

Mrs. Zhuang only mentioned it to me once.

But the young master is not only good at growing Gu.

Judging from Zhishu’s reaction, she has mastered the technique to perfection!

The young master is less than fourteen years old!

This is so scary!

If I betray the young master, wouldn't that be courting death?

Seeing his mother suddenly become serious, Zhishu also straightened his mind.

Since she was a child, she has always listened to her mother.

Only then did he survive safely in the man-eating melting pot of the banker.

However, even if mother doesn’t say it.

She also knows how to be loyal to her young master.

It’s not just because the young master wants their family to stay together.

It's also because there is a voice in my heart that keeps reminding me to be loyal...

Zhishu responded solemnly.

"Got it, mother."

Yoshiharu patted her back and spoke softly.

"That's all I need to know. Go to sleep..."

He patted Zhishu's back from time to time, gently coaxing him to sleep.

But I couldn't fall asleep for a long time...
