The one hundred and forty-eighth round
When the momentary dizziness passed, Cai Wei found that she was held in Qin Fei's arms again.
Qin Fei saw her open her eyes, and her originally clenched heart was relieved, and she pretended to be relaxed: "Your courage is really weaker than a rabbit, this king just said-"
Cai Wei thought that he was going to mention those two disgusting things again, so she hurriedly covered her ears and shouted, "Don't, don't say it again!" โ
Since he was ten years old, Qin Fei had never been directly interrupted like this and intercepted what he was about to say, but when he saw the somewhat pale face of the person in his arms, he still closed his mouth in a daze.
In this brief silence, two "coo" suddenly sounded.
Qin Fei, who had been hungry for three years, naturally knew what the sound was, and laughed out loud again, "I said, why did you fall down, it turned out that you were so hungry that you didn't grab the beam?" โ
Cai Wei was already so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she said angrily: "I don't want to let me go yet!" โ
Qin Fei searched around the room, barely found a place to sit down, and put her on it, he didn't dare to put her on the beam anymore. He walked to another basin of water, washed his hands, wiped his clothes twice, took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Cai Wei, "I invited you to eat delicious food before, but if you don't eat it, I have to nibble on some baked cakes first, so as not to faint from hunger again later." โ
Seeing that Cai Wei still refused to take it, his face immediately sank, "What, you still refuse to eat what this king gave?" Then you're hungry. As soon as he raised his hand, he wanted to throw the paper bag on the ground in the corner of the house, but Cai Wei hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, I, I caught the fish before, and I haven't washed my hands yet!" โ
Qin Fei was a little more relieved at this time, so he simply threw the paper bag on the table, and walked back to the cutting board to scrape the fish scales, but the corner of his eye kept paying attention to Cai Wei, seeing that she washed her hands, she dried her hands for a while, slowly walked to the table, picked up the paper bag and opened it, was stunned for a moment, and then took a small bite to eat the snacks inside.
Qin Fei saw that she didn't eat a piece, and couldn't help asking, "What, this is full?" โ
Because she really couldn't find the veil, Cai Wei had to wipe the corners of her lips with the back of her hand, and when she saw Qin Fei asking her, she smiled and said: "I thought it was a baked cake, but who would have thought that it was a red bean and jujube mud cake, it was so sweet that it was tired to death, one piece was enough, who wanted to eat more?" โ
"Don't you like to eat red bean and date paste cake the most?" Qin Fei said depressedly, seeing that she was afraid that she would be hungry, she didn't eat a piece of the dessert that she kindly prepared for her, and said that she didn't like to eat it, Qin Fei was not happy in her heart.
Cai Wei blinked, "It's true that I like to eat red bean and jujube mud cakes, but how does Your Highness know?" โ
Qin Fei realized that he was careless and actually leaked his mouth, he couldn't explain that he knew that she liked to eat red bean cakes six years ago, right? Instead of answering, he asked: "Since you love to eat this cake, why did you only eat one piece?" It looks like I'm still hungry! โ
"Eat a cushion first, so as not to hurt the stomach, if you eat all of these, the concubine will not see the miserable appearance of my hungry stomach, in case I am unhappy again, I don't know what way to toss me?"
Qin Fei glanced at her, "You just said that I was my mother in front of me as a son?" โ
Cai Wei immediately said: "Then His Highness will punish me for grounding again!" โ
"It's a beautiful idea! This fish has already been cleaned up for you, since you don't eat snacks, why don't you come and cook fish for my mother? โ
Cai Wei saw that he threw the fish and kitchen knife on the cutting board, washed his hands and was about to leave, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, wait!" โ
Qin Fei turned around and said impatiently, "What's the matter!" โ
Cai Wei handed over the bag of dim sum, "Your Highness's dim sum, and, well, thank you, Your Highness!" โ
Qin Fei took the bag of dim sum, and his face softened, "I can't imagine that in my lifetime, this king can still hear a word of thanks from your mouth!" โ
Cai Wei smiled slightly: "Aren't I eating people with a short mouth!" Besides, I still have to ask His Highness? โ
Qin Fei immediately became interested, this girl has never had a good face when she saw him, she always looked disgusted and cold, it was rare that she also begged him, "Well, let's hear it!" โ
"It's not a hassle to cook this dish for the concubine, but I have to cut it into very thin fillets before cooking, this, well, I've never cut the dish, I'm afraid I can't cut it!" As the saying goes, don't bother the two masters, since Your Highness has done a good job with the sword, please ask Your Highness to help me cut this fish into fillets, okay? It's best to be as thin as a snowflake and as thin as a willow thread! โ
Although she didn't know why Qin Fei suddenly appeared in this kitchen and helped her kill fish, but since this person sent it to the door herself, then don't blame her for making the best use of everything, anyway, he was the fault that she would fall into today's situation, and it was not an exaggeration to let him work hard.
Qin Fei grinded her teeth, this girl really knows how to make inches, and even asked him to cut fish for her, does she really regard him as a helper for her? But look at her hands, Bai Shengsheng's ten fingers, like orchids and jade, if one is accidentally cut by a kitchen knife, or ......
He looked at his freshly washed hands, walked back to the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife again, took another one in his left hand and held it in his hand, and sprinkled all the inexplicable sullenness in his heart on the poor fish, and the knife flew under his hands, "......Boom, Boom, Boom", I hated to break the fish into pieces.
How do you know that Cai Wei stood on the side, and saw that the more energetic he chopped, the more the fish was chopped, the happier he was, and clapped his hands and smiled: "Your Highness's knife skills are really good, cut this fish thin as snow, and like silk, the poem says, 'The dumpling swings double knives left and right, and the white snow is high', I often hate not to have the opportunity to see, and I don't want to see His Highness's blessing today!" โ
Qin Fei originally wanted to wait for him to finish cutting vertically, and then make a few horizontal knives to chop the fish into pieces, and see how Cai Wei could fry and steam it? was praised by Cai Wei so much now, and she was embarrassed to make up for a few more knives, so that the fish meat as thin as snow flakes and as thin as silk wisps completely turned into a pile of minced meat residues.
He threw his knives to the side, "Okay, this live fish king will kill you for you, and the fish king will also cut you into shreds, can this time this king leave?" โ
"Isn't Your Highness curious about what kind of dish I am going to make for the concubine? She wants me to make a fish dish she's never seen or eaten. โ
Qin Fei snorted coldly, "What does this have to do with this king, this king only knows that if you can't satisfy my mother if you make it, you will look good!" But though he spoke hard, his feet were as if they had taken root, and he didn't move half a step, just standing aside to watch how Cai Wei cooked this pile of fish as thin as snow.
Cai Wei just rummaged through the kitchen, found a gilded lotus leaf pattern gold plate, carefully placed the pile of fish and meat on the plate in the shape of a lotus flower, and turned out a green orange from the fruit basket, this time she didn't let Qin Fei help, and took a smaller knife to break the orange.
Qin Fei stood on the side and watched her break the new orange with her hands extremely jerky, she was terrified, she could make people jump when she cut an orange, but fortunately she didn't let her cut the fish by herself.
She found another stone mortar, first removed the outer skin of the oranges that had been cut with a few teeth, and then removed the thin skin on the outside of the orange flesh, and then put all the orange flesh into the stone mortar, pounded the orange flesh with a stone pestle, and scooped the pasty orange flesh and the juice from the ground up into a small white porcelain gold plate with a spoon.
"This is what you made out of this fish?" Qin Fei saw that she put the lotus leaf gold plate containing the fish and the white porcelain plate containing the orange meat on a lacquer tray, and planned to bring it out like this, so he couldn't help but ask.
Cai Wei nodded, "That's right! Hasn't Your Highness traveled the world? Have you ever seen or tasted this dish of mine? โ
Qin Fei wouldn't have asked if he had seen it, no matter how hungry he was back then, the fish was also roasted and eaten, he had never eaten raw fish, his face was dark, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked through the window.
When Cai Wei brought the dish she had made with "great difficulty" to Concubine Jin, her mother-in-law was already impatient to wait, so she reprimanded her first, "It's just to let you cook a fish, why did it take so long to cook, if I only had this one fish to eat for dinner, wouldn't I have starved to death by you?" โ
When he looked at the pile of fish on the plate, he immediately exclaimed, "Ah! What is this, I ordered you to make a dish of fish for me to eat, why did you put the meat in front of me before it was cooked, is this to make me eat raw fish? โ
Cai Wei smiled and said: "The fish in this dish is to be eaten like this, it is tender and delicious, and with the juice of green oranges, it is the most fresh and pleasant." โ
Concubine Jin didn't believe that there was such a dish as eating raw fish and meat, and said angrily: "How can there be such a fish eater in this world, you stinky girl, didn't you see that I told you to cook, and deliberately made such a plate of raw meat to retaliate against me?" โ
Cai Wei said respectfully: "Daughter-in-law doesn't dare, daughter-in-law just obeys the instructions of the concubine, you said to make a dish that you have never seen or tasted, and the daughter-in-law thought for a long time before remembering this fish dish, this is a famous dish in the Western Qin Dynasty thousands of years ago, and it is not a daughter-in-law who fooled you out at will." โ
As she spoke, she picked up the ivory chopsticks and put a few strands of fish meat on the plate with orange meat, dipped in some juice and sent it to the bowl of the golden concubine, and said: "Please also ask the concubine to taste the taste of this fish belly, the previous Western Qin Dynasty dignitaries liked to eat fish like this, at that time, the Oriental Fusang Kingdom admired my โกโก of Hua Tianbao, outstanding people, and sent a lot of Qin Shi to Chang'an to seek advice, after tasting this fish belly, this way of eating was brought back to Fusang country." When my father took me back to Fujian to worship my ancestors, I heard people say that they all eat fish in this way in Fusang country! โ
When Concubine Jin saw that she had a nose and eyes, could it be that the ancients thousands of years ago really ate fish and meat raw like this? But even if there is really this way of eating, she can't eat this raw fish meat, anyway, she just wants to find an excuse to toss Zhou Caiwei, and was about to smash the plate of fish and meat on her, when suddenly a maid ran in with a panicked face and said: "Concubine Niangniang, it's not good, the second concubine Niangniang, she vomited a lot of bad things, I'm afraid that she is seriously ill, His Royal Highness ordered the slave maid to invite you to go-"
Before she finished speaking, Concubine Jin had already "vacated" up from her chair and hurried out.
Cai Wei quietly retreated behind Concubine Jin from the side of Concubine Jin without a trace when the maid said the three words "no", and when Concubine Jin ran out to see her niece the next moment, because she was in a hurry, she really didn't notice Cai Wei hiding behind her, and ran out without leaving an order to toss her.
Cai Wei saw that she was gone, and several maids and maids around her who had to be used also followed her, and the only ones who stayed in this house were some little girls, so she smiled slightly, raised her feet and walked out of the house, and walked straight to her yard, anyway, no matter what she did, as long as Concubine Jin wanted to pick her thorn, it was not "a crime to add, and there was no excuse", it was better to take advantage of this gap to go back to the room to rest, use some tea and snacks, and then think about how to deal with this evil mother-in-law.
She was in a hurry to go back to her yard, and naturally she didn't notice that a purple figure suddenly appeared behind her, looked at her back for a while, turned around and entered the upper room of the concubine, picked up a chopsticks of shredded fish, dipped it in orange juice, and slowly put it into her mouth.
