18. Kiss the soup

On the second day, I got up very early, and when I saw the dim sum dishes on the table during breakfast, I was reminded of a matter, so I told Xingyundao, "When you go out later, look for the shopkeeper Liu, and say that it is my order, and ask him to find a cook who is good at making vegetarian food and light snacks and send it in." ”

There were two shops in the capital in the mother's dowry, and after Meibian entered Beijing, he took them back and took care of them with the people he brought back. Shopkeeper Liu is in charge of one of the shops, and it is inconvenient to go out when he lives in Guan's house, and he takes care of all the affairs outside.

When Xingyun heard this, he asked with some curiosity, "Why does the girl think about changing the cook?" ”

Now this Aunt Xu in their yard was also found by Shopkeeper Liu, not to mention how exquisite her skills are, but she has always been honest and has never done anything wrong. And she is easy-going, and she gets along well with the people in the yard, so Xingyun has this question.

Mei said, "It's not that I want to change it, I just want to invite another one." Aunt Xu is good at popular dishes in the capital, but she has never made vegetarian food. ”

Since seeing the dishes that Yuan Ziqing eats every day, he has such a plan on his eyebrows. Naturally, it is impossible not to eat every day, since he can't see the meat, she wants to hire a cook who makes a vegetarian meal, or someone here to make it, or she learns to do it herself.

Although she also knew that it was impossible for the Fuwang Mansion not to invite these cooks, and now Yuan Ziqing still eats those things, there must be a reason for it, but it is always her own heart, whether it is useful or not, she will try it first.

Although Xingyun still couldn't solve his doubts, he didn't want to say much about his eyebrows, so he agreed to go.

Shopkeeper Liu's movements were very fast, but after two days' work, he found a cook and sent her to Meibian.

Although it is borrowed to live in someone else's house, but adding a person to the yard can be the master. When she went to mention it to Zhang, Zhang didn't care.

The chef's surname is Cui, and it is said that she once served a lady who was a vegetarian all year round, so she practiced a good craft. But then the lady died, and the master didn't need to be a vegetarian cook, so she came out. Although her craft is rare, after all, it is out of the door, and large families in need will naturally train their own cooks, and it is not so easy to find errands.

Therefore, this Cui Chef Niangkong has a craft, but before Shopkeeper Liu found her, she was only invited to cook for them when Bai Xi wanted to ask monks and Taoists to recite scriptures and practice things, so as to exchange a few coppers for a few coppers. Therefore, after Shopkeeper Liu found her, he was naturally willing to do so, and immediately packed up his things and followed in.

When I knew that I was going to serve such a delicate little lady who had not yet left the cabinet, I was very surprised.

Meibian said, "Please Aunt Cui come over, mainly to ask for advice on the practice of vegetarian food, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"Does the girl cook by herself?" Chef Cui was a little surprised.

"Exactly." So there is not much to do on weekdays, if my aunt is willing to stay and teach with all her heart, it will be possible to support the elderly in our family in the future. ”

"Yes, naturally." Cui Chef Niang said immediately. She was married, but her life was not good, and she went within a few years of being in charge. At that time, I was serving my wife, and my life was not too sad. After making a living on his own over the years, he naturally knows that it is difficult. Now that Meibian is willing to keep her, she is naturally overjoyed, "Don't worry, master, whatever I will, I will definitely be able to teach." ”

Meibian was relieved, and immediately asked Chef Cui to make two vegetarian dishes and send them over, and after tasting them herself, whether it was the appearance or taste, it was much better than what she had seen in the palace before, so she was also happy.

From the second day, she followed Chef Cui to learn to make vegetarian food. Because you don't need to use meat, cooking is not so uncomfortable. And these dishes are not difficult, Meibian quickly made two dishes under the guidance of Cui's, although they are not as good as Cui's, but they are not bad.

So he put these two plates of side dishes into food boxes and sent someone to Fuwang's mansion.

When Yuan Ziqing received the food box, he was still a little inexplicable, and when he heard that it was cooked by Meibian himself, even if he didn't have an appetite, he forced it to eat it all.

At this time, the residual poison attack in his body had ended, and he could barely get out of bed. After receiving the things from Meibian, I couldn't sit still.

He desperately wanted to see him, but after Princess Fu knew about it, she refused without hesitation.

It's not that he doesn't want to let Yuan Ziqing and Meibian enhance their relationship, it's just that Yuan Ziqing's health is so bad that Princess Fu doesn't worry about him going out like this at all. Seeing that Yuan Ziqing was silent, he said, "Why don't you take her over and live for a few days?" ”

"No." Yuan Ziqing immediately said, "Bringing people here like this, although it is because my mother values it, but people from outside the world talk about it, I'm afraid there are rumors." ”

He had already asked Qingyun to inquire, and the last time he stayed in King Fu's mansion, there were rumors outside that Princess Fu was optimistic about her making a side room for Yuan Zifang. Although it was a baseless guess, Yuan Ziqing still didn't like it very much.

What's more, he still has a worry in his heart that is not enough for outsiders, and he always feels that his body is so bad that he can't delay the future at all. On the one hand, he cherished her kindness to him, and on the other hand, he clearly knew that he could not afford this kindness.

At such a time, it is natural that she can't be allowed to have more to do with Fuwangfu, lest there is no way back in the future.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ziqing's previous eagerness to meet her was diluted a lot, and he said to Princess Fu with interest, "That's it, it doesn't have to be met." I'll talk about that next time. ”

Princess Fu wanted to persuade again, but when she saw his expression, she didn't know what to say.

Meibian was anxiously waiting for the reaction from the palace in the mansion, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news at all. If it weren't for the person who sent it, she would definitely have sent the things to the Fuwang Mansion, and she would have thought that the other party had not received it at all.

She now wanted to know a little bit about Yuan Ziqing. After all, when he left, he was still ill, and he looked very bad, and I don't know what happened now. It's a pity that the person sent to deliver things is not qualified enough to see him at all.

Since coming back, I have had the illusion that "this thing is easy". But now she realized that nothing had changed.

It seems that she has received the approval and support of everyone in Fuwangfu, and she is very close to Yuan Ziqing. But in fact, after leaving King Fu's Mansion, even if she wanted to see him, she couldn't get it.
