Lu Ming's craftsmanship was indeed trained by her.

In just half an hour, a large table of dishes was prepared, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, the freshest vegetables, and mushroom soup.

Zhou Xiaomeng took a bowl and served soup to everyone and said casually.

"I took Lu Ming to pick these mushrooms myself from the nearby mountains. I hung them in the deep well in the yard and stored them. They are still fresh. You can try them."

"I have long noticed that among the dishes on the table, this one is the most different. It was picked by Boss Lu himself. You have to try it." Gou Dan said flatteringly.

She also saw that Lu Ming was being bullied by Boss Lu, and she was willing to add fuel to the fire.

"Well, the scenery here is beautiful, and the food is good. Look at Lu Ming. It's hard to walk now. But I'm worried that if I continue like this, it's a trivial matter that I won't be able to marry a suitable husband. If my health is not good, it will be bad.

, so I specially chose the free time in the morning to take her hiking with her, which can be regarded as exercise."

"I see. I didn't expect there to be such a secret."

Zhao Wanning said, taking a look at Lu Ming, who was indeed a little too fat, and shook his head.

Zhou Xiaomeng glanced at Lu Ming, who was blushing and thick-necked with anger, and stopped talking without saying any more.

It's just that some things, once they start, are out of your control when they end.

Chu Qingmei, who came to her more frequently, spoke again.

"Xiaomeng has traveled far away to buy these dishes and fish. Try them, they are very delicious."

Zhao Wanning glanced at him, then at Zhou Xiaomeng, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Ming, who was just immersed in eating, and thought to himself, is it really okay for these two people to bully a maid like this?

She had known Zhou Xiaomeng for more than a day or two. How could she not know her naughty temperament? It was probably because Zhou Xiaomeng tasted delicious food, but couldn't eat much of each kind, so she ordered Lu Ming to finish eating them all.

Lu Ming is so fat from eating.

Still poking at people's hearts here.

However, although Lu Ming was angry, he didn't seem to be really angry.

But she still couldn't help but want to defend Lu Ming.

He picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, enjoying its deliciousness and saying.

"I don't think this fish is anything special, but the cooking is very good."

When Lu Ming heard this, he quickly raised his head and cast a grateful look at Zhao Wanning.

But the next second, he was so angry that he lowered his head and immersed himself in cooking.

"Well, I also taught you this cooking skill. When Lu Ming first came here, he didn't know anything. Look, now, his cooking skills are even better than those of the chefs in the best restaurants here." Zhou Xiaomeng said while pulling.

Swallowing the rice, he said.

Zhao Wanning was helpless. Alas, I have seen thick-skinned people, but never such thick-skinned ones. What can I do if I give some to my little boy?

Look at this deer roar, it's so pitiful.

She finally knew that Lu Ming's obesity was probably caused by being so angry that he worked hard.

But the cooking skills are also really good.

Seeing how Lu Ming was being wronged at the hands of Zhou Xiaomeng, I also thought about how her father was a treacherous person in the capital. They had changed a lot of cooks at home, but none of them were satisfied.

So I tentatively asked Lu Ming first.

"Well, why don't you come back to the capital with me and be my chef, and you can spend as much money as you like?"

Lu Ming was dumbfounded. Before he could react, he heard Zhou Xiaomeng's anxious look.

"If that doesn't work, if Lu Ming is gone, how can I guarantee my quality of life? Who will cook for me?"

Zhao Wanning had already thought of the answer for her.

"It doesn't seem to be difficult for you to train another one. Besides, I won't take away Lu Ming for nothing, and I will share the dividends with you."

Zhou Xiaomeng's profiteer face appeared, looking thoughtful.

Zhao Wanning is confident and she will definitely agree.

But she shook her head.

"Forget it, Lu Ming and I are already used to it. Besides, Lu Ming's father comes to see his daughter every now and then. If she leaves now, her father will miss her so much that he will cry his eyes out again."

After eating the last grain of rice, she spoke seriously.

"Actually, don't think that I'm deliberately trying to make things difficult for Lu Ming. In fact, every time her father comes here, he touches Lu Ming's face with tears in his eyes, mumbling about how the baby has lost weight again. Why did I lose weight again?

Listening to it, it felt like he was scolding me for being a mean master who didn't give people enough to eat. So, later I asked Lu Ming to cook more. Lu Ming ate what I couldn't finish.

She was not willing to waste anything, and she made it herself.

Later I discovered that if Lu Mingqian didn’t gain weight after eating it, it must have been because he didn’t eat enough.

I found that every time I deliberately bullied Lu Ming, Lu Ming would turn her grief and anger into appetite. Therefore, when Lu Ming's father came back later, his attitude towards me became much better.

Are you planning to introduce someone to Lu Ming and me recently? He is said to be the child of a rich man nearby. He is good-looking and talented, so I am still considering it."

Zhou Xiao said with a lively expression, but did not notice that the expressions of several people present changed.

Zhao Wanning was stunned for a while while holding the rice bowl, and then secretly looked at Chu Qingmei's face. He found that Chu Qingmei had already recovered and continued to work. After eating, he returned to a crazy look, staring at Zhou Qingmei.

Xiaomeng.

On the other hand, Goudan and Lu Ming, the young men, seemed a little aggrieved.

Alas, this heartless person hurts others without realizing it. Is he really heartless or did he say this on purpose?

Zhao Wanning couldn't stand it anymore.

I think Chu Qingmei is from the most noble family in the capital. Her sister-in-law is the regent, her brother-in-law is the crown prince, and her nephew is the current majesty. Who can compare with such a life experience?

Moreover, the family was very well-off, so even if a man dressed as a woman, it would attract a lot of competition. It is said that many bookstores even specially printed his portrait, which is worth hundreds of taels, but the children of the powerful in the capital still have enough.

No way.

His character is also very good.

The most important thing is to have deep love for her.

She remembered that Chu Qingmei was in particularly poor health for a while. Everyone spread that she was infected with a serious disease and would die soon. The Zhao family also sent a lot of supplements. Later, it was reported that Chu Qingmei was transferred back to the capital to recuperate.

When she got the news again, she heard that Chu Qingmei had invited herself to be a small county magistrate in the suburbs of Beijing.

She still couldn't figure it out at the time. Could it be that she was not used to the intrigues in the officialdom, so she demoted herself from the official position and wanted to be a wandering crane?

It wasn't until she vaguely realized that Zhou Xiaomeng might not be dead, and pestered him to bring her, that she realized that he was doing all this to get closer to her so that he could protect her.

She was moved by this infatuation.

But this time Zhou Xiaomeng seemed not to know at all.

Heartless.

And she remembered that she seemed to have a very good relationship with the husbands at home and her few confidantes.

I don't know why it got to this point.

Even if you have to fake death to save your life, why can't you just find an excuse to bring it?

Can't figure it out.

Zhao Wanning felt that he could not see through her more and more.

She didn't seem to care about anything and was laughing and joking all day long, but sometimes she always felt that there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

But after they came, she never heard a word about the people or things from her past.

Have you really forgotten?

No.

It’s just that I deliberately avoided certain people and things.

After dinner, Zhou Xiaomeng asked Lu Ming to serve tea.

I also specifically asked what I was drinking.

She always has all kinds of weird things here.

After Zhao Wanning asked carefully, he chose one at random.

Of course, these will be her business scope from now on, and she can drink them at will.

Zhou Xiaomeng didn't take it seriously.

"I'll give you the recipe, but the taste may not be the same, because I personally picked these teas in the nearby mountains. The taste will be different if you pick them when it's still dark."

"By the way, I still collect them here. Look at those. I hired a handsome-looking man from the town who was thirteen or fourteen years old and has not yet left the government to pick them. The taste is extraordinary."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaomeng asked Lu Ming to make a pot and took a sip himself, looking like he was enjoying it.

Zhao Wanning was stunned.

Try it if you have to.

But she really couldn't taste any difference.
