The two walked into a study, and the little guy who was waiting on the side came forward to take over the sable wool that the man in black untied, and the young man waited for the man in black to sit down behind the red sandalwood moire bookcase, and then sat down on the black lacquer pomegranate blossoming Taishi chair on the side, and smiled at him: "In the past few days, Mr. has been secretly visiting the people all the way is also extremely hard, in order to avoid the secret agents of the imperial court, he has to be wronged by Mr. in disguise, it is really Mr. Lao." ”

The man in black said indifferently: "I was originally a cloth cloth, and I was able to teach the prince because the prince could afford it, and I was not from a noble background." Therefore, there is not so much attention to clothing, food, housing and transportation on weekdays, and now there is no grievance and hard work. But the son of the world grew up in a splendid pile, I don't know if I can still adapt to the life of these days? ”

When the young man heard this, he said with a solemn expression: "Sir, I don't know, I grew up in the army with my father since I was a child in order to avoid the spying of the imperial court.

Sir should have also heard that my father, Wang, was extremely strict in governing the army, with strict military discipline, and as a commander-in-chief, he had to be the same as ordinary soldiers in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there were no maids and servants around him.

So since I was a child, I also had to learn to take care of everything by myself, sleeping in ordinary tents and quilts, wearing coarse cloth clothes and iron armor, and eating the same steamed buns and pickles as the soldiers.

In the past few years, as I got older, I needed to stay in the palace for more time, so my mother arranged a few small servants and guards for me. ”

Speaking of this, the young man's expression changed, and he said a little shyly: "Speaking of which, the conditions in the army are indeed not as good as those in the palace. In terms of food alone, every time I was in the army, I missed the dim sum and medicinal food made by my mother herself. Sir won't laugh at me for being greedy, will he? ”

The man in black heard this. He laughed heartily and said, "Where, where! This love of food is a human instinct, and my greatest pleasure in my daily life is to find delicious food everywhere, how can I laugh at the world?

However, the house we are staying in now is not bad, the decoration is elegant and fresh, and the scenery in the garden is also beautiful and exquisite, but only the craftsmanship of the chef here. It's really not flattering.

In the past few days, when I got to dinner every day, I had to run out by myself. Go outside to the restaurant and look around for a good meal. ”

The young man also smiled, looking at the man in black with a little closeness in his eyes, and said, "I am the same as Mr."

But today they specially found a few cooks, who are said to be from the Jiangnan Baiwei Xian. Each has a few ancestral specialties.

It's late tonight. I'm a little hungry too, why don't you try their craft with me? ”

The man in black smiled with satisfaction: "I have it!

Just now I was still thinking, after returning to the room, let the little guy go out to find some snacks to fill his stomach, otherwise I can't sleep when I'm hungry, this proposal of the prince is very suitable for my heart!

This Jiangnan Baiwei Xian is a time-honored restaurant that has been established for a hundred years, with branches all over the place, each with its own unique secret cuisine. I didn't expect that the subordinates of the prince could invite them to come, and they can feast tonight! ”

The young master smiled. instructed the young man in Tsing Yi standing on the side: "Go to the kitchen and tell them to start preparing." ”

After respectfully agreeing to the promise, the young man in Tsing Yi bowed and retreated.

Outside the kitchen in the courtyard. In the silence of the night stood a slender figure, she stood there quietly, looking into the distance, and seemed to be admiring the night, and the figure looked extraordinarily leisurely.

A little maid in red walked up to her side with broken steps, and replied in a low voice: "Lady, the prince of the world orders to start." ”

When the woman heard this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she took out a piece of flower paper from her water sleeve, handed it to the little maid in red, and said, "You go to the kitchen and tell the four chefs to make these four dishes and two-flavor soup porridge, and I will make the rest." ”

The little maid in red took the flower note with both hands, and went to the kitchen after answering the promise.

Cui Linglong saw the red-clothed maid enter the kitchen, and then turned around and went to another small kitchen located at the west end of the courtyard. ”

Cui Linglong's eyes quickly swept over the brightly lit kitchen, and said with a smile while waving her hand: "Okay, the prince has already ordered it, let's start quickly, don't delay the prince to entertain the guests." Begonia, tie my apron to me; Cuckoo, you wash and peel that plate of shrimp; Coral went to clean up the chicken breasts, and Agate washed the two lotus roots. ”

When the four maidservants heard this, they immediately sprang into action.

After Cui Linglong waited for Begonia to tie her apron, she instructed Begonia to peel the onions, while she herself quickly prepared condiments such as salt, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and soy sauce.

After Coral washed half a catty of chicken breasts, Cui Linglong quickly put the cauldron on the stove that was burning all the time, boiled the boiling water, then put the chicken breasts into the water, picked three chives and four slices of ginger and put them into the water, then covered the lid and boiled over medium-low heat for a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, she lifted the lid and saw that the chicken breast was cooked, so she scooped it out, put it in a bowl and let it cool, then tore it into small strips with her hands, and placed them evenly on a green jade lotus leaf plate.

Next is the seasoning sauce - Cui Linglong in a sweet white porcelain bowl, put soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper oil, chili oil and cooked white sesame seeds in turn, stir the seasoning evenly with bamboo chopsticks, pour the seasoning juice on the chicken shreds, sprinkle a handful of coriander foam, and then start to mix the seasoning juice and chicken shreds, so as to complete this spicy chicken shreds.

After she finished the spicy shredded chicken, the cuckoo had already washed the live shrimp, and then removed the head, shell, and shrimp line, and put it on a plate for later use.

Cui Linglong put the peeled shrimp on the cutting board and quickly cut them into small cubes, put them in a bowl, add two white onion slices and three slices of ginger, and marinate for a while.

After that, she took two eggs, expertly knocked them into a large bowl of water porcelain with lotus petal pastel folding, then added twice as much warm water as the egg mixture, then mixed in half a spoonful of salt, stirred well with bamboo chopsticks, and strained into a white cloth into a bowl for steaming.

She then put the bowl in the steamer and put it in a pot under cold water. Once the fire starts, close the lid of the steamer basket until the surface of the egg wash is solidified.

After steaming. Cui Linglong lifted the lid of the steamer, put the marinated diced shrimp evenly into the bowl, continued to steam in the steamer until it was fully cooked, and finally poured some sesame oil on the pot and sprinkled with an appropriate amount of chopped green onions, and the steamed shrimp egg was ready.

Cui Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, and heard the little maid in red come to report that the dishes in the big kitchen over there were almost ready. He sped up the speed in his hand.

The agate on the side had already washed and peeled the lotus root, and Cui Linglong cut the two lotus roots into thin slices, and then began to make pork filling.

Crack an egg into the minced pork. Then add the green onion foam, salt, oyster sauce and soy sauce, and then mix it well with bamboo chopsticks.

Then Cui Linglong took a piece of lotus root and put it on the meat filling, and then took another slice to cover the meat filling, and pinched it tightly to align.

It wasn't until she had sandwiched all the lotus root slices with the meat filling, and then she took flour, added an appropriate amount of salt and warm water and mixed it into a batter. Then put the lotus root clip into the batter and coat the batter.

Then heat the pot and add oil. When the oil temperature is hot, Cui Linglong puts the battered lotus root clips into the pot in turn and deepens them until the lotus root clips are golden on both sides.

Then the agate took out the lotus root clip and put it on the plate, Cui Linglong put white vinegar and sugar in the pot, added the pre-adjusted tomato sauce, boiled and then put in the appropriate amount of adjusted powder, waited for the sweet and sour sauce to boil until it bubbled, then turned off the heat, and then poured the sweet and sour sauce on the fried lotus root clip. This sweet and sour lotus root clip is ready.

Then Cui Linglong began to make the last stir-fried lotus root slices, and she first cut the chives and leaves into foam. Cut the ginger into small slices, peel the lotus root and cut into thin slices.

Then soak the lotus root slices in warm water with white vinegar to prevent the lotus root slices from changing color after stir-frying.

When the oil in the pan is hot, she adds the green onion foam and ginger slices and stir-fries until fragrant.

After that, she poured the lotus root slices into the pot and stir-fried, adding water while stir-frying, and the water should be poured in slowly.

After adding water twice, stir-fry until the lotus root slices are somewhat transparent and not solid, then she sprinkles salt and stir-fry well, and finally sprinkles green onion leaf foam before starting the pot and mixes well.

And the man in black and the young man who were already sitting in the lobby over there finally waited for the food to be served in the sound of chatting and laughing.

A group of maids dressed in uniform bright blue jackets and green armor, holding wenge wooden trays in their hands, rushed in, and then methodically placed delicacies on the yellow rosewood cloud echo foot strip table in front of the man in black and the young man's seat.

The man in black raised his chopsticks and tasted the nearest red chop mutton, honey pepper butterfly slices and five-willow crispy fish respectively, and after tasting them carefully, he said with a satisfied smile on his face: "Sure enough, good craftsmanship!" These two dishes of red grilled mutton, honey pepper butterfly slices and five-willow crispy fish are very authentic, and the taste is extremely delicious. ”

When the young man heard this, he smiled and raised the green jade cup in his hand, and saluted the man in black: "How can there be food without wine?" This is the autumn dew white treasured in the courtyard, I salute Mr. a cup! ”

The man in black also raised the glass cup in front of him and drank the elixir in the cup.

When the wine was half-drunk, the man in black put down the glass cup and said with some regret: "There is wine and food, but unfortunately there is no music and dance, which is really a pity." ”

The young man sitting opposite him showed a sly smile on his face and said to the man in black: "What's the regret about this? If you want to dance, this is the time! ”

When the man in black heard this, the narrow phoenix eyes on his slightly drunk face suddenly opened, and he said in surprise: "The prince is lying to me?" Now in the middle of the night, where can I find any music and dance? Didn't the prince want the maids in this courtyard who could dance and have fun to come and help? ”

The young man smiled and said: "Mr. is proficient in music theory, and he has read the world's songs and dances, how dare I let the maids in this house come to offer ugliness?" Just wait a moment, sir! ”

As he spoke, he nodded to the little servant standing aside.

Seeing this, the little guy willingly retreated and made arrangements.

The man in black looked at the young man in front of him with great interest, squinted his eyes and tasted a few mouthfuls of delicacies, and suddenly heard a melodious piano sound from behind the screen of the twelve mansions with red sandalwood inlaid teeth in the middle of the lobby.

At the end of the song, the man in black woke up from his obsession, raised his hands and clapped it, and said with a smile to the young man: "The son of the world is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this song "The High of the Mountain" is played extremely exquisitely, it can be said to be the most beautiful "High of the Mountain" I have heard in my life, which makes people fascinated by it!" ”

"Mr. has won the award, Linglong is really ashamed!" A voice as soft as a tender willow and as clear as a spring breeze came from behind the screen, and then, the man in black saw a graceful figure turn out from behind the screen.

The woman in front of her was wearing a plain crescent moon white hanging flower palace brocade shirt, with a bright indigo embroidered treasure flower moon skirt, a palace silk with green twisted gold thread around her waist, and a bright and gorgeous hibiscus gold wide-sleeved cloud brocade coat, holding a silver vermilion mirror flower silk shawl in her hand, a bewitching fallen horse bun with black hair, but the bun was only randomly decorated with fragments of white jade carved orchids, the body was demonic, curling and graceful, two curved eyebrows painted distant mountains, a pair of eyes like autumn water, the sandalwood mouth was lightly opened, the slender waist was restrained, the dark clouds were stacked on the sideburns, and the pink cheeks were pink, the mood is beautiful, and the skin is tender and fragrant.

The woman stepped forward, walking calmly, seemingly with thousands of manners, enchanting and charming, but her face was dignified and gentle, just like a fairy concubine, like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, but more like the legendary charming fox fairy.

Cui Linglong slowly walked to the front of the black-clothed seat, bent her knees slightly, and said softly: "Linglong has seen Mr." ”

The man in black was a little surprised at first, and then admired the woman's beauty, and said with admiration: "No need to be polite, the girl is polite." ”

When the young man heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. misunderstood." This is the head of the Liyin Pavilion, Cui Linglong Cui Niangzi. ”

The man in black suddenly realized, and hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it turns out that I am the lady in charge of the first music workshop in Pingzhou, but I was offended!" ”

Cui Linglong lowered her head slightly, revealing a white and delicate neck, and said with a soft smile: "Linglong is just a businessman, but Mr. is the master of the prince, this word 'offense' Linglong really dare not take it." Sir, please be seated. ”

The man in black smiled chic before resuming his seat.

But I saw Cui Linglong walking to the twelve groups of flowers and silver gilt double-layer incense burner in the hall, a pair of white soft wattles stretched out from the water sleeves, and the movement was smooth and elegant to take a spice from the incense box on the side, and gently put it into the incense burner, and a burst of refreshing lily incense suddenly floated out of the incense burner.

The man in black sniffed for a moment, stroked his palm and smiled: "Cui Niangzi's lily fragrance is exceptionally sweet and elegant, but I didn't expect that Niangzi not only plays the piano well, but also tunes this fragrance well, if she is really a wonderful person, it is no wonder that the girls in the Liyin Pavilion are so understanding, charming and charming, I think Cui Niangzi is well-adjusted/taught!"
