The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

In the past, Xie Bai never understood why Yan Yunlan's attitude towards him was so different from that towards other family members, and he always had a bad face.

Xie Bai had repeatedly reflected on whether he had offended her.

Later, it was his sister-in-law who cleared up his confusion.

"Don't think too much about it. Just like you are born to hate eating cilantro, some people are born to hate men. It has nothing to do with what you have done."

Xie Bai: “……?”

He thought he had hidden his dislike for coriander perfectly, but he didn't expect that his sister-in-law had already seen through it.

It’s no wonder that coriander is rarely seen in home dishes anymore.

After a long period of observation, Xie Bai finally became convinced of what his sister-in-law said.

Yan Yunlan showed disgust towards all men except when he was facing his father.

Only then did Xie Bai stop reflecting on himself.

Therefore, facing Yan Yunlan's rebuke at this time, he was very humble and promised that he would never hold his sister-in-law back again from now on.

Seeing this, Yan Yunlan's anger gradually subsided.

Before Xie Bai arrived, Cui Yunsheng was still hesitating.

If it weren't for Senior Brother Yan's guarantee, if he wanted to deal with Magistrate Wang, he would have to follow the procedures and report to the Censorate first, and then take action after approval.

During this back and forth, his senior brother's beloved disciple might have been in danger.

But now, in order to severely punish the lineage of Prince Ning, his senior brother voluntarily entered the court to assist the new emperor. On one side, he was a prime minister who could stabilize the country and maintain its security, and on the other side, he was a rat who only knew how to enjoy himself.

It is obvious what the emperor will choose.

Cui Yunsheng submitted the memorial in an urgent manner over a distance of 800 miles while rushing non-stop to the provincial capital to rescue people.

Two days later, Wang Zhizhou was tied up by soldiers and pinned to the ground. With his eyes wide open, he struggled and shouted, "Master Cui! I am a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. How dare you arrest me without the imperial court's express order?"

Cui Yunsheng looked frosty, as if he had not heard anything. He said, "Catch the guilty minister Wang Juyuan and bring him back to the capital to await trial immediately."

Wang Zhizhou was completely panicked and threatened in return: "Cui Yunsheng, you know that when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. I am the uncle of Ning Wang's grandson Xiaolin. If you dare to do this to me today, Ning Wang will not let you go one day!"

Cui Yunsheng sneered: "Prince Ning? He is a weakling himself, so how can he stand up for you? You may meet him again in the prison."

"What do you mean?" The prefect looked at him in astonishment.

Cui Yunsheng leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Wang Zhizhou's eyes were filled with fear and he cried out, "Impossible! How could Xu Xiangjun be a disciple of Master Yan? It's impossible!"

Everyone in the court and the country of Dayu was aware of the former prominence of Grand Tutor Yan. Even though he later disagreed with the previous emperor's political views, he never lost power.

Later, Grand Tutor Yan disappeared and the court fell into chaos. Both the late emperor and the crown prince at the time tried every means to find him, but to no avail.

If he is willing to come out of retirement, the new emperor, who is bent on reducing the power of the princes, will certainly take this opportunity to eliminate Prince Ning.

Wang Zhizhou could not understand until his death why he just wanted to find a good marriage for his nephew but it became his own death warrant.

When Xie Bai and his team found Xu Yingtao, she was working leisurely as a kitchen helper in the kitchen of Wangjiang Tower.

Although she was called a kitchen helper, she actually didn't have to do any of the chores in the kitchen herself. She even became a favorite of the restaurant owner and the chefs.

In addition to her sweet talk and good at dealing with people, Xu Yingtao also promised to share the recipe of Dongpo pork with the restaurant for free in exchange for protection.

Dongpo pork, in its time, was known for its tender and tasty texture, fat but not greasy, and agate color. Once it was introduced, it immediately became one of the traditional famous dishes throughout the country.

After hundreds of years, it is still highly respected.

At that time, Xu Yingtao sent the Dongpo Pork to Wangjiang Tower for the shopkeeper to taste. The latter was amazed after eating it and immediately offered to buy the recipe at a high price.

Xu Yingtao naturally did not ask for money. She only asked to work in the kitchen. When she was in a good mood one day, she would hand over the recipe to him without asking for money.

The restaurant owner had never heard of such a bizarre request, and nodded in agreement.

From then on, the kitchen of Wangjiang Tower became her refuge.

The reason was not hers, but because she found out that Wangjiang Tower was the property of Prince Ning's Mansion.

Adhering to the principle that "the most dangerous places are often the safest", Xu Yingtao played a trick of hiding the truth from the public.

After all, the reason why she took the risk was that she was forced by Wang Zhizhou.

On the second day after she escaped from the villa, Magistrate Wang really started to send people to search the city. She had no choice but to save herself.

During this period, the restaurant owner also asked her indirectly whether she was the person that Wang Zhizhou was pursuing.

Xu Yingtao immediately denied it: "Boss, the prefect arrested a female thief who stole jewelry. With my skills, why would I need to steal to make a living?"

Then she borrowed the restaurant's kitchen and made a dish of pickled fish.

After tasting the food, the restaurant owner was immediately convinced: "Young lady, you can stay in our restaurant as long as you want!"

This is a living recipe!

Even if it was a female thief, he would admit it, because it wasn't his jewelry that was stolen.

Xu Yingtao not only used the menu to whet the appetite of the restaurant owner, but also took every opportunity to act as a salesman.

Nowadays, her hot sauce has been fully distributed in the provincial capital. However, since the Caobang is only concerned with selling it and not teaching it, except for the instant hot sauce that can be directly mixed with rice and noodles, the sales of other hot sauces such as chopped pepper sauce, pickled pepper and bean paste are very average.

Xu Yingtao never tired of teaching the restaurant's chefs how to cook every dish she could think of that could use hot sauce.

Under her patient teaching, those middle-aged chefs who were originally burly and skeptical about hot sauce gradually changed from disgust to admiration, and everyone was very polite to her.

The restaurant owner was overjoyed when he saw this, and without hesitation purchased hundreds of jars of chili sauce from the Cao Gang.

Xu Yingtao was also very satisfied. The more people bought, the more she earned.

Yan Yunlan and Xie Bai watched her laughing and playing with the people in the kitchen from afar, feeling complicated.

They were so anxious these days that they couldn't eat or sleep, but unexpectedly, Xu Yingtao's face looked rosy and shiny, and she seemed to have gained weight because the food in the restaurant was so good.

What a heartless woman. Yan Yunlan secretly complained. If they had come a little later, she might have become a restaurant chef.

Xie Bai didn't think so, he glanced at the weeds in the cracks of the courtyard wall and felt that it was exactly the portrayal of his sister-in-law - no matter where she was, she could survive tenaciously and show vigorous vitality.

Cui Yunsheng, dressed in casual clothes, stood behind them, with a forehead full of question marks.

Is this the Xiangjun personally appointed by His Majesty? Is she the beloved disciple of his Senior Brother Yan?

In fact, it's a bit too vivid.

The restaurant owner nodded and bowed, with an apologetic smile on his face. When the servant beside Cui Yunsheng revealed his identity, he was almost scared to death.

I could only take the three people to the back kitchen door as ordered.

Under the gazes of several pairs of eyes, Xu Yingtao seemed to sense something. She looked up suddenly and saw two familiar faces at a glance.
