48. Chicken noodle soup
He is not sleepy, Ning Xi has been busy all day today, and he drank two glasses of wine at dinner, and he has long been so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids are fighting, and he cheered up and responded, but he felt that there was nothing to talk about with him, how to say that they also belonged to two different social classes, except that she loved to make good food, and he loved to eat good food, there seemed to be no common topic!
Jun Qianyu said to himself: "This time I was ordered to encircle and suppress a group of mountain bandits, and the errand was originally done very smoothly, but I didn't expect to encounter a very powerful ambush on the way back. ”
Ning Xi was startled, stood up and looked out the window, Jun Qianyu smiled and said, "Don't look at it, the people who chased after me have been solved by me, and no one will catch up." ”
Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lean on the corn bag, poking the corn kernels with one hand.
Jun Qianyu continued: "I originally wanted to find a farmer's family at random, rest for the night first, and then ask someone to find the government to send someone to pick me up tomorrow, but since I met you so coincidentally, I don't have to be so troublesome, do you have a carriage?" If you have one, you can just take your carriage back. ”
"This is not good, the carriage rented by the people's daughter is very simple, I am afraid that it will lose the identity of the fifth master." Ning Xi said busily.
"It's okay, just sit on someone, I don't dislike it."
But I hate it! Ning Xi shouted in his heart, but it was hard to say.
"Actually, you don't need to check to know who is chasing me, why are you chasing me, I just don't understand, I have avoided the border all these years, and my eldest brother has always been a gentle and indisputable person, and everyone in the capital knows that my father's favorite is the smart and capable second brother, why are they so aggressive and tight."
Ning Xi was secretly frightened when she heard this, the disputes for power and profit in these big families are the most conspiratorial, and anyone who gets involved in it as long as they get a little bit of it may be doomed, so she shouldn't be stupidly involved, so she deliberately diverted the topic and said: "Fifth Master, why don't you tell me about your heroic deeds when you suppressed bandits?" ”
"Those things that are fighting and killing, what is there to say, you little girl, I treat you well on weekdays, but you are timid and afraid, and you don't even want to listen to me talk about your heart and comfort me, forget it, I won't say it, it's your turn."
"Me?"
"Tell me why you didn't stay in Sungai Tower, what did you do in this small mountain village?"
"I'm here to buy chickens."
"Could it be that the huge capital can't even buy chickens?"
"No, it's just for the food conference of the Qi Palace, I just want to come and find the black chicken."
"Oh? Tell me, what are you going to do at the food conference? ”
Ning Xi told him in detail about the method of chicken marrow shoots: "Fifth master, in your opinion, does this chicken marrow bamboo shoot have a chance of winning?" ”
Jun Qianyu touched his stomach: "I didn't think it was original, but I was very hungry when I heard you say this, so let's go and make me something to eat first, and I'll tell you in detail when I get back." ”
Ning Xi shook his head and said, "It's the middle of the night, or someone else's house, where can I get you something to eat?" If you don't say it, forget it, I don't plan to win anyway, but I just want to participate, if I can help the princess, it's the best, if I can't help, it's just that I am not good at learning. ”
"Tsk, I can't see that I am so young and have such a big temper, let me tell you, no matter how delicious your chicken marrow shoots are, they will definitely not be able to match the princess's appetite."
"Why do you say that?"
Jun Qianyu hooked his fingers: "Make me something to eat, and I'll tell you in detail." ”
Ning Xi glanced at him, leaned on the grain bag and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Jun Qianyu said to himself: "Alas, the people in this world who know the cause of Princess Qi's illness, except for King Qi, I'm afraid it's only me, even Jun Shaofeng's kid doesn't know, who knows that someone doesn't know what to do, don't send it to the door, forget it, since others don't care about themselves, what am I still doing here." ”
Ning Xi originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but he couldn't bear it, so he stood up suddenly, recalling that the Yang family's kitchen was on the other side of the yard and was not connected to the main house, so if he went there to make something, as long as he didn't make too much noise, he shouldn't make any noise to others.
"Wait, I'll make you something to eat." Sneaking to the kitchen, Ning Xi lit a candle and took a look, there was still a pot of leftover chicken soup in the cupboard, so it was convenient and quick to make chicken noodle soup.
Scoop half a scoop of flour from the jar, add some water and knead it into a dough, then roll it out and cut it into noodles, boil it in boiling water, and then scoop it up and pass it over the cold river.
Scoop out a bowl of chicken broth and boil it again, select a few pieces of intact chicken, tear it into thin strips by hand and put it in the chicken broth and roll it, finally add the boiled noodles, serve it in a large bowl, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions on the noodles, it is a bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup.
All the things used were cleaned up, Ning Xi took a pair of chopsticks and a spoon, and went back to the room with noodles, as soon as he entered the door, the man shouted: "It's so fragrant, bring it quickly, I'm starving." ”
Ning Xi put the noodles on the table in front of him, handed over the chopsticks, Jun Qianyu raised his hand to take it, there was a pain in his arm, Fang Cai's injury was on his right arm, but now he couldn't even hold the chopsticks, so he had to take it with his left hand, pinched it a few times, and always felt uncomfortable.
Jun Wuye has always been a high-minded image in Ning Xi's mind, but now that he looks at his clumsy appearance of eating noodles with his left hand, he actually feels that this person is much more amiable, so he reached out and took the chopsticks in his hand: "I'll help you." ”
After speaking, he held the chopsticks in his right hand, held the soup spoon in his left hand, sandwiched the noodles into the soup spoon, scooped a little soup in it, and handed the soup spoon to Jun Qianyu, who took the soup spoon and put it in his mouth to eat: "It tastes good." ”
"Naturally, I don't look at who did it."
Just one bite at a time, in less than a moment, a big bowl of chicken noodle soup was gone, and there was not even a little soup left, Ning Xi took the bowl back to the kitchen to wash it and put it away, and then returned to the room after seeing if there was anything unusual: "You can always talk about it now, right?" ”
The so-called bell must also be tied to the bell, knowing the cause, in the right medicine, it is better than a black eye, a blind cat to touch the dead mouse, Ning Xi moved a small stool to sit in front of Jun Qianyu, looking deaf.
Jun Qianyu cleared his throat and began to speak.
Things have to start from the rebellion of the Qinglong Sect fifteen years ago, when the king of Qi and the princess of Qi were married for three years, the eldest son Jun Shaofeng had just turned two years old, and the second daughter Jun Peizhi had just been born.
Originally, the Great Zhou Dynasty was stable, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but they didn't expect a Qinglong Sect to suddenly appear in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that their purpose was to assist a descendant of the royal family of the former dynasty who did not know where to emerge from the throne, but at that time, the previous dynasty had already collapsed for more than a hundred years, and naturally no one took them seriously, but they were just delusional rebellious ministers and thieves.
The emperor ordered the king of Qi to lead his troops to exterminate the Qinglong Sect, but he didn't expect that the small Qinglong Sect would stir up the whole capital and make the whole capital restless, many important ministers of the court were secretly assassinated, and the people were also scared to go out, and the merchants did not dare to open their doors to do business.
The emperor was furious and ordered the king of Qi to abolish the position of the prince if he could not catch the leader of the Qinglong Sect within a month, remove him from his position, and demote him to a commoner.
Seeing that the time limit was approaching, the people of the Qinglong Sect were haunted, and King Qi had no clue, and he was sad every day, and Princess Qi, who had just finished confinement, decided to help her husband.
Speaking of Princess Qi, she also has an extraordinary background, her father is the general who protects the country, but her mother is the owner of the famous Luohua Villa in the rivers and lakes, the female devil who once made the people in the rivers and lakes frightened, how did the general and the female devil come together, not to mention all kinds of twists and turns, in short, after the female devil followed the general, the Luohua Villa was also whitewashed, and the former subordinates also returned to the countryside on the surface, but in fact, this part of the force is still there, and the Luohua order that can command these old departments is in the hands of Princess Qi at that time.
Since the army led by the King of Qi could not help the Qinglong Sect, the princess of Qi decided to use this part of the power of the rivers and lakes in her hands, and the characters in the rivers and lakes had their own side doors, and the Luohua Villa inquired into the Tianquan Mountain where the headquarters of the Qinglong Sect was located.
When the king of Qi saw that the princess's letter was left to know about this, he immediately led the army to besiege the Qinglong Sect according to the letter, and finally won a complete victory, but he escaped from several of the most important bandit leaders, and the princess of Qi also fell into the hands of the bandit leaders.
This story was full of twists and turns, Jun Qianyu was eloquent and good, and Ning Xi's heart was tightly pinched when he heard it: "What about later? ”
"Later, of course, it was King Qi who wiped out the Qinglong Sect, and Princess Qi also rescued it."
Ning Xi sighed: "It's okay, it's okay, but what does the story you said have to do with Princess Qi's anorexia?" ”
Jun Qianyu said: "After the princess came back, the originally heroic person was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, so weak that he couldn't even stand up, and he couldn't even eat a mouthful of water or a grain of rice, and even as soon as someone said a word in front of her, he would vomit, and in the end, he even vomited bile, and he still retched." ”
"It turns out that the princess suffered from anorexia at the hands of bandits, so can she tell the reason?"
"As long as the matter in the hands of the Qinglong Sect is mentioned, the princess will scream uncontrollably, so the king of Qi ordered that no one should mention it again, and also personally entered the palace to ask the emperor to send the best imperial doctor in the palace to treat the princess, but all the imperial doctors gathered, and they couldn't think of any good way, so they had to apply needles to make the princess fall asleep, and then poured a decoction medicine to hang her life."
Ning Xi deserved to be a good listener, and when he heard this, he asked with great concern: "What about later?" How was the princess's life saved? ”
