Chapter 31 Mistakes

No wonder Jiang Ran is sensitive.

As for the profession of cook, in the era that Jiang Ran lived in, it was only a hundred years since he broke free from the mud pit.Before that, cooks were regarded as "lower class", as the old saying goes, "cooks are a family of ruffians", so it can be seen that cooks are always easy to be looked down upon.

Of course, when Jiang Ran entered the industry, there was no longer such a saying as "the lower class" rooted in the strict class stratification of the feudal dynasty.At that time, the status of chefs gradually improved. Many chefs made a fortune by relying on their craftsmanship, and a small number of them even gained fame and fortune. When they went out, others would respectfully call them "chefs".

However, glamor is only for famous chefs. There are so many Chinese delicacies, and there are countless cooks. Fly restaurants are everywhere, and night market stalls are everywhere. In many Chinese restaurants, chefs often do the most tiring work. The first impression is often greasy, dull and so on.

At the beginning, Jiang Ran learned how to cook from her master. Later, as her cooking skills gradually improved, she traveled around the country for a period of time in order to broaden her horizons.She has helped cook in small restaurants with good dishes, and has also learned from seemingly messy food stalls. Of course, she is not proficient in everything, but every cuisine, she have been in contact.

All kinds of people cook all kinds of dishes.

In order to taste all kinds of dishes, she has naturally met all kinds of people, and of course she has also seen many contempt, supercilious and unreasonable.She saw that in the business of cooking, some people were well-dressed, while most people were unkempt.

This is the injustice left over from the times.

But the times have also given chefs new opportunities.At Jiang Ran's time, people valued money, so as long as a chef could have a reasonable income, he would naturally be able to start a family and support his family. If his income reached the upper middle level, people would often talk about him as if he was a chef. There will be a little envy.

Chefs who make money can always get people's favor, and Jiang Ran belongs to the kind of chefs who can make money especially.

Her master is a famous chef from the Soviet Union. She is talented and willing to work hard, and her achievements are boundless. When she officially graduated from the teacher, many hotels wanted to poach her, and the conditions offered were more favorable than the next.

Therefore, she can be regarded as the kind of person who has been favored by the patriarch, but she herself has not encountered prejudice against this industry from outsiders.

"Can a woman be a good cook? I'm afraid she can't even split the bone?"

"The work in the kitchen is so heavy, can she bear it as a woman?"

"Walking around the stove all day, smelling like vegetables, who will want her in the future?"

Jiang Ran has heard many such words. She is straightforward and always smiles when she sees everyone. Her master is highly respected. Those people don't say it in front of her, but secretly, they often talk about her like this.

The prejudices of the world are deep and long-standing. Jiang Ran heard it in the past, but she didn't take it seriously. She loves this industry and only thinks that those people are vulgar people. But after a long time, even she didn't realize it. She still It has been greatly affected.

For example, she subconsciously feels that the profession of chef is not glorious enough.With such a psychological hint, she took it for granted that the imperial family would not be happy to see a cook and princess in the crown prince's house. Even today, she thought that Qi Lian despised her because of such subconsciousness.

People, I am most afraid that I will look down on myself.

Jiang Ran didn't know that the times had left traces on her body, and she was trying her best to suppress the feeling of tooth itching.

While Jiang Ran was grinding her teeth, Qi Lian fell into deep thought. She was thinking, since when did she regard Jiang Ran's dishes as her own property?

Did it start with the uninterrupted gluttonous feast of three meals a day?Or did it start when Jiang Ran kept bringing out new dishes?

It must be that those dishes are so delicious, that's why she also felt reluctant.After all, she is not a generous person. She couldn't let go of the crown prince before, but now she wants to keep Jiang Ran's cooking skills all the time?

However, even if it has been occupied like this, how many years are left?Qi Lian's face gradually turned blue.

Jiang Ran almost gritted his silver teeth due to her silence. Jiang Ran stared at her, seeing that she didn't mean to explain at all, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Since you look down on me, why bother to eat the food I cook every day? Qi Lian, you It's hypocritical."

Qi Lian was scolded by Jiang Ran, and his expression changed from suppressed sadness to surprise: "What do you look down on?"

Jiang Ran snorted coldly: "Are you still pretending? Don't you hate me? Unfortunately, it's too late. My future career is a chef. This won't change because of your ridiculous face."

Like a hedgehog feeling threatened, she erected the thorns all over her body. Those thorns are sharp and sharp, which can prevent the enemy from approaching her, and can easily stab the enemy.

Qi Lian felt Jiang Ran's sudden hostility, and his expression was even more surprised: "I didn't look down on you."

Jiang Ran looked at her with reddened eyes: "Oh, you didn't? Then what did you mean by what you just said?"

Qi Lian coughed lightly, and said slightly uncomfortable: "I just think you're still in college, isn't it a little early to think about those things now? That's why I said it's not good."

Jiang Ran looked at her suspiciously: "You really just said that because of this? Do you really dislike me?"

She didn't believe in Qi Lian in her heart, but she hoped that she could trust Qi Lian, because then she would have a reason not to care about it.Love really blinds people's eyes, even if Qi Lian only has a little budding of love, she seems to be about to become a ridiculous fool in front of Qi Lian.

Qi Lian spread his hands helplessly, revealing a white wrist: "Why should I dislike you? Your cooking skills are so good, and it's too late for me to admire you. How could I dislike you?"

She also didn't understand why Jiang Ran had such an idea.

Jiang Ran's expression turned pale, but he was still angry after thinking about it, so he said without any negotiating: "In short, I must open a restaurant."

With such a harsh tone, it seems that he is still angry.Qi Lian shunned his hair and said: "Okay, you can drive it if you want, don't worry, I will definitely not stop you." At this time, she also wanted to understand that she was only caused by a momentary possessive desire, and what is that kind of possessive desire? meaning?This girl Jiang Ran is so young, she has so many years to live in the future, and she has no future, should she keep holding Jiang Ran because of her own selfish desires?

She can't hold back.She is destined to have only a short life like a mayfly, even if she wants to monopolize it, how long can she occupy it?

Seeing Qi Lian's straightforward agreement, Jiang Ran reluctantly believed her. Seeing that she really didn't intend to stop her, and even asked himself if he wanted to help with the store, Jiang Ran shook his head.

"Don't be so busy, I didn't plan to open the business early. What you said, I'm still studying, and it won't be too late to do this after I graduate from college." Jiang Ran said, thinking of his previous concerns, He laughed dryly: "I also have the spirit of contract. While our marriage is still in force, I will not cause you any trouble, nor will I bring negative news to your empire."

"What negative news?" Qi Lian looked even more surprised.

Jiang Ran vaguely said, "Isn't it just the business of opening a restaurant?"

"What kind of negative news is this?" Qi Lian raised his voice in surprise.

"Why doesn't this count? Don't you royals really care about face? You don't need to pretend you don't care to comfort me." Jiang Ran waved his hand, as if I understood.

But in fact, she was the most confused.

At this time, Qi Lian finally understood what Jiang Ran had been struggling with all this time, should she be called a silly girl, even her thoughts were foolish.

It's really a headache, Qi Lian's temples throbbed: "How did you think the royal family would feel so ashamed?"

She was stunned by Jiang Ran's question: "Shouldn't it be like this?"

Qi Lian rubbed his temples, and said dumbfoundedly: "No, not at all. Chef is not a shady profession, why would it lead to loss of face?"

"Really not?"

Jiang Ran's red lips parted slightly, and he looked at Qi Lian in shock.

What is Jiang Ran thinking in this little head?A sense of powerlessness surged in Qi Lian's heart: "Of course not, chefs are so rare now, and senior chefs with real skills are respected and popular everywhere they go. As for you, there is no doubt about your cooking skills. It is the top level of chefs, I believe that no matter who it is, as long as they have tasted - no, as long as they have seen you cook, they will involuntarily admire you. How can they look down on you?"

Qi Lian was categorical and categorical, with seriousness in his pitch-black eyes, without any trace of lying.

Jiang Ran and her stared at each other, looking into the deep night sky, and felt the world turned upside down: "It turns out that I have been thinking wrong all along."

Qi Lian nodded helplessly: "If you've always thought that way, then I'm sure, you must be wrong."

Jiang Ran: "" If what Qi Lian said is true, then her previous worries, guesses, and subsequent decisions are really too ridiculous.

She was a little dizzy.

"Didn't your teacher tell you this? To have a student like you, your teacher should also be a great cook, and he should have a high status."

Qi Lian's thoughts are as dense as silk, and any slight unnaturalness can hardly escape her "eyes". She quickly realized Jiang Ran's lack of common sense, and she couldn't help asking such a question in doubt.

For Jiang Ran, this was simply a torture of the soul. You must know that the teacher Jiang Ran mentioned before was a fabrication. How could it be possible to teach her these things?

Jiang Ran understood that he still inevitably fell into the inertia of thinking.

well.She discovered before that although this world has developed into the interstellar era, except for a stronger sense of technology and a much wider world, it seems to be the same as before, and people here still think about things in a very "human way". Of course, Jiang Ran It also directly integrates itself into it.

She thought she had integrated into this era, but in fact, how could it be so fast?She will still inevitably give people—especially a smart person like Qi Lian a slight sense of disobedience.Due to the difference in understanding, Jiang Ran will be out of touch with some modules here, which is normal, and even if she is aware of this, there is nothing she can do, because those things that are not integrated can only be slowly swallowed by time until they disappear no trace.

In fact, in a certain way, Jiang Ran is an old antique for this era. Her vision is naturally limited, but this limitation is not serious, because she has inherited the memory of the original owner.

A large part of Jiang Ran's understanding of this world comes from the memory fragments left by the original owner, but of course the original owner cannot be the kind of person who pays attention to cooking skills, and of course it is impossible to know what a chef is in this era. This made Jiang Ran think differently and come up with such an oolong.
