Chapter 80: Picky Eater

It is said that the origin of its name is the original owner's words: "The Bird's Nest knows the ambition of the bird?" But the heart is also food. ”

It can be seen that he is a foodie, well versed in the way of food, and takes it as his life's ambition.

It only took a dozen years for her restaurant to expand from a small store to a large-scale three-storey restaurant.

Because the waiter had already come to greet us beforehand, the shopkeeper had already waited outside the door of the store, and when he saw our group, he respectfully led us up to the private room on the third floor.

The dishes were quickly served, and a whole round table was piled up, and they were not allowed to serve wine, but chose a lighter fruit-stuffed accompaniment.

I glanced at the three guards, a man, two women, and three guards who followed behind the three princes, all standing straight as pine, with expressionless faces, like statues.

I was the only one with Jiang Zhuo, and even Bingsan was left in the mansion - after Jiang Zhuo told me about Fu Zhenzhen's movements that night, I gave her a task to teach her to keep an eye on Wang Fu's courtyard, obviously as a guard, but in fact as a surveillance.

I only hope that I am too suspicious, and he will not try to challenge the bottom line of me and Yan Ke and do something unfavorable to Ling Wangfu, otherwise, I dare not guarantee that I can give him the honor of the prince as promised.

At this time, if it was just me and Jiang Zhuo, I would naturally have to sit down with her to eat, but now that there are more third princes and his guards, and he is sitting at the table with great interest, looking at the dishes presented with great interest, there is no intention of letting a few people rest, and I am a little hesitant to say what I am about to say.

Rubbing my empty stomach, the hunger was very obvious, remembering that Jiang Zhuo had never gone out without breakfast like me, and had never used a piece of dim sum when I watched the play, it must have been more uncomfortable than me, how could I bear to teach her to be hungry like this?

Having made up my mind, I took the initiative to pour a cup of fruit brew for the third prince, and said, "Smelling the taste of this dish is appetizing." ”

"You're right! I wasn't very hungry, but now I'm very hungry," he said, taking a sip of the fruit brew, "well, it's not too sour, and it has a fruity aroma, so it's delicious!" ”

Seeing that he drank it all in one gulp, I immediately added another cup for him, poured some myself, and then said as if unintentionally: "These guards must have been hungry after following us for so long, right?" ”

He glanced back at the guards behind him, and echoed indifferently, "Also, so be it, you all go get something to eat, and come back in a moment." ”

"Yes, master." The male guard at the head punched his chest and saluted, and was about to withdraw with the other two.

I put down the fruit brew that was about to be brought to my mouth, and hurriedly kept it: "Wait." ”

When the third prince looked at him suspiciously, he explained indifferently: "Don't bother, anyway, the two of us can't finish so many dishes, so it's better to ask these people to sit down." ”

Before he could reply, the male guard had already bowed and saluted, and repeatedly refused: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

I was about to persuade him again, but he asked, "How can they dine with their masters?" ”

――Are they all people with the same nose and two eyes, and just because they are from different backgrounds, do they have to be divided into three, six, nine, and so on?

Although I also know that this class difference is a long-standing tradition, and it is also a problem that cannot be completely eliminated after thousands of years, it is one thing not to change it, and it is another thing to accept it calmly.

"Why, this king thinks that His Excellency the Third Prince is an informal person, but it turns out that he also values the distinction between respect and inferiority in this way?" I was dissatisfied, and my tone hardened.

"What do you mean by that? Isn't this the most important thing for you Dawu people? He frowned slightly, looking at me puzzled, "My teacher always talks about the order of respect and inferiority, saying that this is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken, otherwise the world will be in chaos or something." ”

"The order of respect and humility is important, I wonder if the master has ever told the third prince the story of 'water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat'?" Knowing that I couldn't teach Jiang Zhuo to enter the table without refuting him, I also came to the momentum, prepared to talk to him, and said that his stubborn concept was correct - cleared his throat, adapted the allusions of Tang Taizong, and explained it in a few words.

Not only him, but everyone was stunned when they heard it.

I only cared about myself speaking jubilantly, and added a lot of my own opinions in detail, and finally concluded earnestly: "Therefore, the country is not in the society at all, let alone the order of respect and inferiority, but in the people, without the people can not become a family, without a home can not become a country, and the superior loves the people like a son, then the people will want it, and the stability of the regime will ......"

When I was rising, I suddenly saw their shocked expressions, especially Jiang Zhuo, who was more complicated, and I realized what stupid thing I had done.

With a sneer, he had to explain dryly: "Well, these are all the strategies that this king saw in the book in his spare time, and I think it makes sense, what does the third prince think?" ”

"Well, that means being good to the people around you, including your subordinates, right?" He thought about it for a long time, and finally said uncertainly.

"Exactly." Seeing that he understood, it was not in vain that we went to great lengths to pull such a big deal out of it.

"Alright, just listen to you," he nodded helplessly, hooking his hand at a few guards behind him, "Yada, Iku, Scori, sit down." ”

"Jiang Zhuo, you also sit down," taking advantage of the cover of the table, he took her hand, turned his face to the third prince and smiled, "Let's eat, the dishes are almost cold." ”

"It's not that you said so much...... he muttered a tamales with chopsticks, but he was soon attracted by the deliciousness and had no time to pay attention to me.

I smiled, but I saw that Jiang Zhuo just picked up a few vegetarian dishes with chopsticks closest to him, and he didn't seem to have much appetite.

――What should I do if this person doesn't eat well, and when he gets hungry later?

Eating irregularly can hurt your stomach.

Seeing that the three princes were only concerned about picking meat dishes and feasting on them, and Jiang Zhuo didn't seem to have any meat at all, I thought about it, picked a piece of the most tender cheek meat on the fish, turned it around before putting it in my own bowl, and put it in Jiang Zhuo's bowl.

She was slowly and methodically plucking the chopsticks of her meal, and when she raised her eyes, she looked faintly, and her clear eyes seemed to be asking.

I bit the chopsticks and opened my eyes, feeling a little annoyed: I took it upon myself to pick up the dishes for her, and I don't know if she minded that I used the chopsticks...... However, I've done even the most intimate thing with her, even if it's a shared pair, I think she won't refuse, right?

Peeking in, the fish in her bowl was gone, and when I saw her, she smiled back with a shallow smile, and there was still a little sauce stained on her lips, which looked full and attractive, if it weren't for the presence of so many people, I was afraid that I would have kissed it a long time ago.

I didn't dare to stare at her face anymore, but I just put different dishes into her bowl, and she obediently let me add vegetables, and did not resist, and waited until her bowl was piled up in one breath, I stopped, took a sip of fruit brew and breathed slowly, and occasionally put a chopstick on myself.

I inadvertently glanced at the third prince sitting opposite, but saw that he was still moving his chopsticks back and forth, but the frequency had slowed down a lot, and then saw that his bone plate was full of meat bones, and there were a few uneaten ribs in the bowl, and there was no shadow of vegetarian dishes. ”

He held a half-gnawed rib in his mouth, raised his head and looked at me blankly, obviously unable to understand what I meant, my brain was hot, and he casually pointed to Jiang Zhuo, who had been eating silently beside him, and said: "Look at this Jiang guard, she is not picky eater, so she can grow tall and straight, slender and well-proportioned......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly got stuck--the person I praised for "having a good habit of not being picky eaters" was carefully picking out a few celery sticks from the bowl and secretly throwing them into the pelvis on the other side, hiding them among other residues, and he looked serious and strict, as if he was accomplishing something important - Jiang Zhuo gestured for a moment and opened his eyes uncomfortably in response to my implicit questioning gaze, but he still threw out the celery on the chopsticks before continuing to lower his head and eat the dishes in the bowl as if nothing had happened.

In the playful eyes of the third prince, "If you look at me, I'll say it", I couldn't hold my face a little, so I had to put some celery into Jiang Zhuo's bowl, and pretended to be majestic: "Celery is good for the body, eat more!" ”

She glanced at me coldly, picked up the bowl, and quietly ate the celery I had given her, only chewing unusually slowly, silently expressing her reluctance.

I quietly breathed a sigh of relief, both amusing and gratifying: I didn't expect Jiang Zhuo to dislike eating celery, and he was a picky eater when he was so big, but he still obeyed my wishes and didn't teach me embarrassment.

was about to add some dishes she liked, but she suddenly said, "Don't just care about me, Your Highness should eat more." ”

The cold voice does not fluctuate, and the tail of the eyes is slightly raised, which is quite meaningful.

Following her gaze, I lowered my head and watched as she put a piece of yam into my bowl.

Now, it was my turn to freeze.

――Yam is one of the foods I hate the most.
