Chapter 309: Your Highness, Please Forgive Your Sin
The uninvited guest who stopped me in my way was tall and slightly fat.
Others stood beside me as if they were holding a tower.
Crucially, he stood there with his elbows crossed, his eyes fixed on my hands, watching me cook the whole time.
I coughed and said helplessly, "You look at me like this, I"
"You just don't save zΓ i when I don't save zΓ i, isn't it?" He saw that I was uncomfortable, and gave me this sentence succinctly and clearly.
"I'd like to, but alas, hey," I muttered to myself, and I took a breath to calm down.
"What did you say you were cooking?" I still have to confirm it again, and I can't excuse myself if I serve the master of Jingui.
"It should be light, not too greasy, but not too vegetarian, alas, in fact, where do I know, you, in short, you try to make some light dishes that you are good at."
He seems that the tangled Cheng dΓΉ is not much better than the me in front of him.
"It's for your master?" I lowered my voice.
"I usually cook for a bunch of big people to eat, where have I ever served such a noble person," he said again
On the third floor of the inn, Xiao Ning's deep eyes looked out the window at the pouring rain, the smoke and water between the sky and the earth, and the streets were empty. "Your Highness, the cook usually only cooks dishes in the army, so this cooking skill is a little stumbling" General Sun said on the side, in fact, the dishes ordered by His Highness to be withdrawn, the people in the pioneer camp, including him, can be regarded as empty.
It's almost a spirit, otherwise it's beautiful!
"It's none of his business, it's my bad appetite." Xiao Ning recalled the dishes on the table just now, and the preferences of the soldiers in the army were obviously different from him.
"I've asked him to make a few light dishes again."
"Give him half an hour."
Xiao Ning glanced at General Sun noncommittally, and turned his gaze to the stack of letters pushed on several cases, in addition to those of Jianghuai officials, there were also secret guards who stayed in the Zihuan Palace.
Compared with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, this is also a matter of concern all the time.
Maybe when the matter in Jiangnan is over, good news can come from Beijing.
Besides, Mr. Ge once informed his senior brother of his preferences, Jianghuai Dashui. Immediately after the disaster, it is inevitable that the victims will fall ill, and with his senior brother's temperament, he is likely to go to the Jianghuai area to practice medicine.
It is with this hope that Xiao Ning feels that this trip to Jianghuai is a must-go.
One reason is enough, let alone two.
When he left Yingtian, he hid from a bunch of anxious courtiers in the cabinet, drove out of the door, and traveled all the way to the western camp of Yingtian City, which had already received the news, and mobilized the elite of General Sun and his vanguard battalion. Non-stop out of the day.
Foreign. But he only said that he was sick in the Zihuan Palace.
Why. It is for this trip to Jianghuai to alarm less irrelevant people.
Jianghuai flood, Xiao Ning had already read between the lines that there was something unusual hidden under the water, and he came to Jianghuai in person. There will be no less things to do!
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth moved, and a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
General Sun, who was guarding beside him, shuddered for no reason, wondering if Xiao Ning would show such a look, would the dishes served later fail and the fate of the chef
Half an hour passed, and I managed to make a few dishes.
Time is limited. It's as simple as two dishes and one soup.
Stir-fried mushrooms with green vegetables, plus a dried bamboo shoots and stir-fried meat, the fish soup is I looked at the fresh fish in the kitchen bucket, and felt that this soup must be drunk fresh, and the lively fish stirred up a splash or two from time to time. The vitality is very strong.
No matter what the taste is, it's okay to look at the appearance.
"Why don't you try it first?" I asked him in a whisper. "No need, you're in the inn, there must be more guests cooking and serving than me, I'll take it upstairs." He replied happily, put the food on the tray, and hurried upstairs.
Looking at his hurried back, I muttered to myself: "You should taste it, don't blame me for reminding you, if you blame you, it's because you don't listen to me." β
Walking to the stove, I took the half-cold dishes out of the door and gave them to the people in the hospital.
Xu is on the road for a few days in a row has not eaten anything good, maybe it is my skills tonight are extraordinary, in short, the people in the medical hall and the dart master are quite satisfied.
I couldn't help but smile as I watched their chopsticks reach for a few of the dishes I had cooked
The cook slowed down and went up to the third floor, General Sun at the door stood there and waited for a while, and when he saw the cook coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Send it to His Highness quickly." β
The cook bowed his head and quietly handed the tray to the attendant.
The attendant took it, walked into the room, and put it on the several cases in front of Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning put the pen in his hand aside, and glanced at a few dishes in front of him lightly: "Did he go to the kitchen just now to redo it?" "Your Highness, you go in a little bit." The attendant said respectfully, "It's the cook who redid it." β
Xiao Ning took the chopsticks handed by the attendant, looked at the few dishes on the plate that looked good, and the chopsticks moved.
After a while, he frowned, and silently slandered in his heart: "The green vegetables are too old, you should only take the cabbage sum and fry it." β
"The bamboo shoots are too salty, add too much salt."
"And this fish soup, the fish has been cooked, and the heat is not right."
A few words almost rushed out of his mouth, and Xiao Ning's gaze suddenly darkened, as if he had said something similar at some point.
He turned his head and put down his chopsticks and asked the waiter, "Is the cook outside?" "Back to Your Highness, he is guarding the door." "Call him in."
The cook clasped his hands in front of him, lowered his head and came in half-hunched, and walked to Xiao Ning and stood in front of him. "You just remade the dish?"
The cook's forehead quickly sweated, and he grabbed the corner of his robe with his hand and clenched it tightly, but he could not answer the lie.
After being silent for a while, the attendant said impatiently: "Your Highness is asking you, what are you doing?" β
A hint of displeasure flashed in Xiao Ning's eyes, and the cook fought for a while, and finally told the truth: "It was made by the chef of the inn." β
He added a little anxiously: "Before, the villain did it, seeing that His Highness was very dissatisfied, and he was worried about redoing it, so he saw that the chef of the inn happened to be in the kitchen, so he asked him to make a few dishes for the villain." "You are so bold, you dare to be so perfunctory to Your Highness." didn't wait for Xiao Ning to speak. The attendant on the side said angrily.
Xiao Ning waved his hand, signaling the talkative person next to him to be quiet, he pointed to the dishes on the table and said lightly to the cook: "It's better for you to taste it." β
The cook was so frightened that he almost didn't kneel, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare." β
Xiao Ning's face finally had some anger: "Just let you taste the food, what don't you dare?!" β
The cook stretched out a pair of chopsticks tremblingly, Xiao Ning simply leaned back in the chair and looked at him, and lazily added next to him: "Taste it, you can say it." β
"The greens are too old. When washing vegetables, you should only take choy sum. β
The chef discerns the taste. After tasting.
"Bamboo shoots and roast pork a little. A little too salty, with too much salt. β
"This fish soup" The cook suddenly hesitated, and Xiao Ning asked, "How about the fish soup?" "This fish soup. The heat of the fish is not right. β
After Xiao Ning listened, a smile suddenly flashed on the corner of his lips, and then, he sighed and said, "You say so, it can be seen that I am not sick and have the wrong taste." β
The cook raised his head in amazement, seeing that Xiao Ning's expression was not as strict as just now, he hesitated for a moment before he said, "Your Highness." The chef of the inn was temporarily invited by the villain to cook, please forgive His Highness, please raise your noble hand, don't punish him. "Besides, besides," the cook said. The chef at the inn had reminded the villain, he said. β
The chef regretted it in his heart, he had already listened to the black-faced boy, so he had a taste. "Say what?" "Are you sure you don't want to taste it first?"
As soon as the words came out, the smile on Xiao Ning's lips suddenly enlarged, and it was as beautiful as a blooming flower in an instant, and even the dimly lit inn room on this rainy day became a little brighter.
The cook and the attendant stared at him blankly, completely confused.
Xiao Ning stopped laughing, coughed, and whispered: "Order, I want to go downstairs for a walk, you all stay upstairs, don't disturb me." β
The attendant glanced at the pouring rain outside the window, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, the weather outside is not suitable for walking. β
Xiao Ning looked back and said with a pleasant face: "I'll go downstairs and walk around, don't leave the door of the inn." β
He deliberately added: "Don't come with me." β
Although the rest of the people inside and outside the house couldn't understand the situation in front of them at all, when they saw Xiao Ning's unprecedented smile and look very good, they were all surprised at the same time, and there was a big question mark in their hearts.
The palm of his hand was pressed on his chest, and his heart beat a little fast in an instant, Xiao Ning paused, leaned against the railing and stayed for a while, before slowly walking down the wooden ladder, "Look at you guys are happy to eat, I almost thought that I was making a good meal." β
It wasn't until I tasted the bowl that I was sure I was still me, the same general cook!
The words were a little frustrating, and the dart master comforted me and said: "Xiaolin, it's okay, but the salt is added a little more, the vegetables are fried a little old, and I don't have much experience." β
Is this praising me or hurting me!
The senior brothers beside him let out a burst of laughter and quipped: "Anyway, when you're hungry, everything is delicious, Master Dart, you said that, Senior Brother Lin, next time he doesn't want to cook." "If you dare to love you, you've all thought about it, let me be a laborer."
I feigned anger and said, "Forget it, for everyone's hard work, I can only stay outside the inn on a rainy day, so I won't worry about you guys." β
Everyone helped me clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, put them back in the basket, and carry them back to the kitchen of the inn for cleaning.
Who let the shopkeeper only allow me to enter the kitchen alone, and the aftermath of this can't be avoided is naturally handed over to me!
