Chapter 249 The Servant’s Scheming
At noon, Princess Qingli’s Mansion.
Da da da…
Da da da…
Su Yinping sat at the table in the east banquet hall, holding a chopstick in each hand, while looking out the door , knocking on the edge of the table.
Due to the high height of the chair, her toes could only barely touch the ground, so she also swayed her calves in her skirt.
If Qin Lang saw her like this, he would immediately think of a certain little sect leader who was waiting for him to be fed.
Actually, this look was not very appropriate for the princess, that is, Su Yinping showed a little bit of himself when no one was watching.
“Hey, here comes the duck soup~”
Sure enough, when someone came, Su Yinping instantly returned to the posture of a decent and generous lady.
"Madam, madam, today's soup smells so good."
"Greedy cat... When will you not say that?"
"But! It's really delicious~!"
In fact, the princess's mansion does not have many rules, so when eating, Tao'er, as a personal maid, also directly did the work of an ordinary maid, bringing the food directly from the back kitchen to the east banquet hall.
“Wow~”
Tao'er wrinkled her little nose and smelled it. The bowl of duck soup in the plain porcelain soup bowl was delicious and rich. It was seven parts meaty and three parts sour, which made people want to eat.
The Princess Su Yinping was reserved on the surface, but her eyes were staring at the duck soup for the first time.
This bowl of sour radish and old duck soup is made from the same pot as the food of everyone in the house, but it is just a regular soup for the princess. It is filled with the first bowl, and it has been "refined" and made into pieces of radish. Evenly arranged radish slices were placed on the bottom of the bowl, and the excess oil was swept away from the clear soup surface. A row of thick slices of duck breast with skin was neatly arranged, and a wisp of coriander and green onion were garnished on top. It looked tempting. The person is exquisite and makes people want to try it but is afraid of ruining the perfect presentation.
“…”
Su Yinping looked at the small bowl and was silent for a moment.
Tao'er on the side saw this, swallowed her saliva, blinked her eyes sensibly and whispered:
"Madam, look, this dish is made with the same care as before..."
< br>Su Yinping's eyelashes trembled slightly, she was stunned for a moment and then gave Taoer a look:
"Talk too much..."
"Hehe~"
In fact, there is no need for Tao'er to say anything. It has been several days since he arranged for the servant named Qin to go to the kitchen. Su Yinping himself had to admit that the guy was obviously a young knight with good martial arts skills, but he was in this kind of situation. He is indeed very good at weird things.
Haha...
No wonder he is so easy to deceive women...
Presumably these dispensable little thoughts are specially developed for women...
……
In fact, Su Yinping's slander was not unreasonable.
After all, Qin Lang's culinary skills were cultivated for his senior sister Mu Xuanli since childhood.
……
Whoosh…
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and a voice without joy or sadness sounded from behind Su Yinping:
"Madam."
"Here? Sit down."
Su Yinping knew it was Gu Jin without turning around. She pointed to the seat next to her. The girl Gu Jin nodded and sat down. But he was a little stiff, and Su Yinping pursed his lips:
"How can you still be so virtuous...I told you that I was in a moment of excitement that day, wasn't it just that I was separated from you for two days, and I didn't have anything else. "I mean...are you still going to be angry with me?"
Hearing this, Gu Jin turned her face to the side:
"How dare I be angry with Madam."
"Tch...dare you don't know what to think..."
"..."
"Ahem... "Oh, okay, okay."
Su Yinping frowned in complaint, and quietly took Gu Jin's hand from under the table:
"I really don't blame you anymore. I've also figured it out. After all, my sister is different from me. She is the emperor above ten thousand people. You are restricted in what you say and do around her, and you really can't stop her from doing some sneaky things. , blindly blaming you for not being optimistic about Su Yupan at that time was indeed an angry remark that I didn’t understand at the moment... As for that bastard Qin Lang, you must have been deceived and bullied by him all the way..."
Hear this , Gu Jin's head turned back slightly:
"Yes?"
"Yes, you, me, and even Yupan came to me that night and said she was raped by that guy Bullied...Tsk! Even the emperor dares to bully him. This bastard is so bold to seduce a woman!"
"..."
"Oh... Jin'er, why do you think we got such a carefree and lawless boyfriend?"
"..."
Gu Jin listened silently to Su Yinping's words. , in some places I actually wanted to refute, but I held back.
For example, was a certain empress really just being bullied?
Didn’t she even have the slightest “enjoyment” in it?
Gu Jin wouldn't dare to say this kind of thing anyway, and she wouldn't say it. Originally, her boyfriend had become a "servant" in order to get the princess's forgiveness. It was already very hard to cook for so many people in the house every day, Miss Jin. I couldn't bear to cause him any more unnecessary trouble.
"Let's eat, Tao'er, you too, sit here."
"Hmm~" Tao'er also sat down next to Su Yinping's right, and by the way, he introduced today's main course. :
“A portion of shredded pork with pickled vegetables and a portion of shrimp and egg, both look delicious and refreshing, complementing the rich aroma of duck soup... Madam, Madam , the dishes these days are really more attentive than the old chefs before~"
"No matter how delicious it is, it can't stop your mouth."
Su Yinping was a little funny and put a few chopsticks of shrimp and shredded pork into Taoer's bowl.
Then he thought of something again and quickly gave Gu Jin on the left a few chopsticks.
"Jin'er, please eat quickly, don't let it get cold."
"Thank you, madam."
Gu Jin was not polite. After taking a bite of shrimp, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Tao'er quickly stood aside and continued to cheer for a certain servant named Qin:
"How is Master Qianju? It's still delicious, right? We've really enjoyed our meal these past few days~"< br>
Gu Jin nodded, and then said:
"This shrimp-smooth egg...is sweet..."
"Sweet?"
Su Yinping was stunned. This dish is usually salty and delicious. Can it be delicious if it's sweet?
So she also tasted it, and found that Qin Lang’s shrimp-smoothed eggs did have a slight aftertaste after entering the mouth, which just highlighted the umami flavor of the shrimp and eggs, but did not overwhelm the whole The dishes tend to have a strange sweetness, which undoubtedly requires particularly precise control of seasoning.
After Gu Jin tasted this dish, she thought of more.
"Tao'er, what was yesterday's dish?"
"Yesterday? Senju-sama is really a noble man who forgets things. Let me think about it...yesterday it was fried beef tenderloin with coriander, golden sand corn, tomato and egg soup."
"What about the day before yesterday?"
"Well...the day before yesterday it was...sweet and sour fish, stir-fried tribute vegetables."
"The day before yesterday."
"The day before yesterday was roasted chicken nuggets, shredded sweet potatoes, and spinach soup."
...
Tao'er didn't know why Senju-sama suddenly kept asking about the food for the past few days, and she obviously ate all the meals together. Is her memory so bad?
Anyway, after reporting the names of the dishes, Gu Jin continued to eat.
On the other hand, Su Yinping was holding chopsticks with chopsticks in his hands. From the moment Taoer reported the name of the dish to the end, the look in his eyes seemed to be getting more and more hazy and fluctuating.
While Gu Jin was eating, she suddenly whispered:
"I told him when we were in Qingniugang."
"Eh...?"
Su Yinping came back to his senses:
"Tell what...?"
“I told him that my wife likes meat and sweets.”
"..."
"I think, he should always remember this..."
"..."
Su Yinping bit his chopsticks, no. Speak.
Yes, since someone took charge of the meal, meat in every meal of the princess is not a big deal, but every meal has more or less sweetness, which is enough to explain some problems.
This is not just about putting a handful of sugar in every dish.
It can only be said that the two words emphasized by Taoer are truly printed.
[Careful]
In addition, Su Yinping also discovered that many of the things Qin Lang cooked for him these days were actually the same things they used to eat in Qingzhou. For example, shredded pork with pickled vegetables and sweet and sour fish.
What can Su Yinping say about this?
All I can say is that the new servant in the house is really...
too scheming.
Huh...
"Tao'er."
"Huh?"
"Tomorrow..."
"?"
"Tomorrow's meals will be prepared by Suo Shuang from Fengdelou...and then given to the people in the kitchen, mainly Aunt Wang, Xiaocui and the others... Take a day off to rest..."
"Oh! Okay~ Taoer understands~"
