Chapter 32 Ingenuity - Eating Hot Pot
Ling'er changed into clothes to go out, wearing a pink bright knee-length skirt, sheepskin boots, and put on the jasper hairpin given by King Heng, which was simple and beautiful. When I saw my little pink face in front of the bronze mirror, I was really satisfied.
When she got out, Baili Xin'er stood in the courtyard and squinted her eyes and tilted her head and praised: "My sister is really a beauty, and my senior brother has vision."
Ling'er feigned anger and said, "No matter how poor you are, I won't go with you."
Baili Xin'er then suppressed her smile, flew to the wall, and threw out a white silk ribbon, which was wrapped around Ling'er's waist like a snake, and pulled it to the wall with a little force. Ling'er swayed from side to side before she could stand firmly, and Baili Xin'er was already holding her shoulders and flying down to the ground together. Straight Ling'er was amazed, he only hated that he was reincarnated and didn't pick up a good place, otherwise he would have learned how chic it would be to walk the rivers and lakes ** landscape.
Ling'er and Baili Xin'er came out of the wall, and there was already a carriage waiting outside the wall, which was obviously arranged in advance.
The two of them got into the carriage and went straight out, and soon arrived at the ninth master. Wang Jiuye was already a rare person standing in front of the door to greet the two. Ling'er smiled and saluted: "Ninth Master hasn't seen you for a long time."
That Wang Jiuye occupied the stairs with his beard in his hand, and saw Ling'er floating in like a fairy, looking at it really like, and he didn't believe that she knew what cooking skills she had, so he smiled and said, "The second lady came today to teach her."
Ling'er's fingers wrapped around the hair hanging on his shoulders, and his heart thought about listening to his tone with great contempt, and he couldn't help showing his hand, so he thought about it and said euphemistically in the tone of his juniors: "Ling'er just loves to eat, and he doesn't dare to be ugly in front of the ninth master, but in the past, he was the ninth master, and today Ling'er only wants to express a little gratitude."
Seeing that Ling'er's youngest daughter's family was well-behaved and sensible, the ninth master couldn't help but like it and said, "Second Miss, please." As he spoke, he led Ling'er into the back kitchen.
Ling'er followed the guidance of the ninth master into the kitchen, and couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, "Where is this kitchen, all kinds of utensils can be seen to be superb, meat and vegetarian ingredients are neatly placed, rare porcelain, exquisite silverware, dazzling, this is really more like an exhibition hall." is so particular about eating, I am afraid that there is no other in the world. ”
When she came to such a kitchen, Ling'er became meticulous, lest what she made would destroy the harmony in the kitchen. After thinking about it for a while, he was in a moment just now, this Wang Jiuye is already extremely meticulous in the dishes, and his three-legged cat kung fu is really enough compared to people. Thinking about it in my heart, my eyes carefully looked at the kitchen application, and suddenly saw a charcoal stove on the table, and I thought about it, it was better to have something fresh.
Thinking in his heart, he took action, first picked up some big bones and began to boil the soup. I went to pick some cabbage, spinach, lotus root and other vegetarian dishes, and selected some good parts of beef and mutton, and cut them into slices carefully. I thought it was almost over, so I found a pot, poured the bone broth into it, and threw down some onions, garlic and ginger and the like. When he had done this, he instructed the servants who had been standing and watching in the room to bring the dishes he had prepared, and he went to the private room with a small stove and a pot of bone broth.
Baili Xin'er was chatting with Wang Jiuye and King Heng over tea, Ling'er didn't know that King Heng was also here today, so she couldn't help but glance at him. King Heng saw Ling'er bring the pot in, he was puzzled, looked up at this eccentric person, and saw that her face was full of calm, so he only quietly watched her busy.
Baili Xin'er couldn't help but jump up and said, "Sister, are you going to cook here?"
Ling'er didn't answer, and said to Wang Jiuye with a smile: "It's cold today, Ling'er invites Jiu Ye to have a hot pot, it's hotter."
Everyone sat around the table, and Ling'er first demonstrated how to eat this hot pot. Everyone followed suit, and they thought that this kind of food was particularly atmospheric and delicious.
Wang Jiuye put down his chopsticks at this time, stretched out his thumb and praised: "The second miss is clever, she has such a strange idea, if the second miss also opens a restaurant, wouldn't it attract all the business in the capital."
Ling'er casually continued: "The Ninth Master has won the prize, but it is true that you can consider opening a hot pot restaurant this winter."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Wang Jiuye continued: "How about the second lady also open a restaurant in the capital?"
Ling'er stopped her chopsticks and looked at Wang Jiuye, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, her heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Ling'er doesn't know how to run a business, and as a woman, it's not easy to show her face, how can she take care of a restaurant?"
King Heng listened to the two of them talking, and at this time he casually glanced at Ling'er. Baili Xin'er said bluntly: "But I heard my senior brother say that my sister seems to be going to open a medical center, so who will take care of the medical center?"
As soon as Ling'er put a piece of mutton in her mouth, she heard that Baili Xin'er revealed her old bottom in front of her, and she was unprepared, and her face was flushed. The servant hurriedly handed over the water, and Ling'er hurriedly drank a glass of water, and it took a long time to recover.
Wang Jiuye looked at Ling'er, but smiled silently, looking like he was in a good mood.
Ling'er then said: "On medical skills, it is really my profession, and the medical hall can't talk about business, but I just see a doctor when I am sick, and I don't want to be promoted and make a fortune, as long as I can make a living, I can have something to do." This is really what she thinks in the 21st century, but it is also appropriate in this life, if there is no place to live, it is that she is too nervous.
King Heng heard Ling'er say this, and his heart couldn't help but sink, since he was about to marry into the palace, even if it was a marriage between the two of them, but what was the difficulty of supporting a woman in Hengwangfu. But looking at her words, she was really full of insecurity, and she arranged a way out for herself before she entered the mansion; Or maybe you don't have any feelings for yourself, and you don't feel bitter in your heart when you think about it.
Wang Jiuye saw that Ling'er said frankly, and knew that he did not mean to refuse himself, and said with a smile: "Second Miss's mind is extremely novel and changeable, if you talk about opening a restaurant, cooking skills are one thing, novel dishes can attract more guests, and changeable can retain guests."
Ling'er listened to his words correctly, and nodded in agreement.
Wang Jiuye then continued: "I might as well cooperate with the second miss to open a restaurant, the people used in the first hall are arranged by me, and the second miss can only introduce new dishes to the restaurant from time to time, and the profits will be divided into sixty-four shares, I don't know what the second miss thinks?"
Ling'er didn't want to get involved in more things, but seeing that Wang Jiuye's words had already been mentioned in this matter, he was also a figure with a face. Besides, since you can only use your own ideas, and you can also share forty percent of your own profits, who has an enmity with the silver, after thinking about it, he nodded lightly and said: "Since this is the case, then it will be up to the ninth master, just divide it into me and take one." Ling'er didn't want to take advantage of people, and she was very happy to have a little profit.
Wang Jiuye said: "No, the second lady must take sixty percent."
At first glance, Ling'er felt as if she had misheard, and asked suspiciously, "Am I sixty percent?"
Wang Jiuye picked up the tea in front of him and smiled slightly: "Exactly, but there is also a condition for the second miss, the second miss is not allowed to cooperate with other restaurants in the future."
After hearing this, Ling'er felt that this condition was nothing, and it was not cost-effective to cooperate with anyone and this god-level foodie. Seeing that he is so sincere, it is better to agree, even if he Jiang Lang will not take profits from others in the future. A smile suddenly opened up on his face, and he arched his hand and said, "Thanks to the promotion, Ling'er is disrespectful." He raised the tea in front of him again: "The little woman toasts the ninth master with tea instead of wine, and I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Wang Jiuye saw that she said something strange, but he felt that it was cute, and raised his glass with a smile.
King Heng saw that he was the little princess who had not yet passed the door, and reached a cooperation agreement with someone in front of him, as if he had nothing to do. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't talk about it, not to mention that I had already reached an agreement with Ling'er to fake my marriage. But seeing this little person doing things decently, I can't help but appreciate in my heart, what a quirky little girl.
After Ling'er and Jiu Ye discussed cooperation, everyone had a lively hot pot together. Baili Xin'er has always been refreshing, and Ling'er is not a restrained person, and the two girls are not happy to eat and drink. After eating and drinking, Baili Xin'er smiled and said: "Since I have a sister, Xin'er has been blessed with a mouth, and I can see that I have eaten more."
Ling'er said angrily: "I'm also done eating, and I won't send my sister back." Then he got up and said goodbye to Wang Jiuye, and went downstairs directly.
King Heng and Baili Xin'er followed, King Heng looked at Ling'er, almost wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. He only said to his heart, "Use my carriage," and turned to leave.
Ling'er and Baili Xin'er got into King Heng's carriage, and couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, it's the prince's thing, the layout is so luxurious, the car is spacious and warm, the long bench is wide enough to sleep, the ground is covered with a thick tiger skin blanket, there is a backrest in the middle, you can sit on the cushion, and since the back row of the car is still stacked with a neat row of books", it is really enjoyable to sit in such a carriage. After Ling'er sighed, she also learned from Baili Xin'er to lie down and sleep directly, and the two of them lay quietly and felt very comfortable.
Before I knew it, the carriage had stopped at the entrance of a small alley not far behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the coachman stopped the carriage. At this time, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and few people entered and exited, so it was Ling'er who decided to enter through the back door. Ling'er crouched beside the car window, lifted the curtain of the car window and looked at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, for the sake of safety, she decided to observe carefully before going in, and after seeing for a while, there was no movement and she wanted to get out of the car. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near from the opposite side, especially in this quiet night, so Ling'er stayed still in the car for the time being. Seeing that Ling'er still didn't get out of the car, Baili Xin'er sat up curiously and looked at the appearance with him. I saw a carriage stop unhurriedly outside the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after a while, a woman quietly came out and got into the carriage, but the sky was hazy and I couldn't see who it was.
Ling'er said lightly: "Ji Xue'er, it must be her." Then he turned to Baili Xin'er and said, "Let's do something with my sister."
Baili Xin'er is very supportive today, and she is also the most idler, and she is busy saying: "Sister has something, Xin'er should stick a knife in her ribs, and she will never give up."
Ling'er smiled: "Just your poor mouth, where can you use a two-ribbed knife, but look at the excitement." Then he told the coachman to follow the carriage. The two carriages followed one after the other from a distance, and they saw the carriage in front of them walking towards the southern suburbs of the capital. Because the southern suburbs are the most suitable for the mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful, most of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing have built a courtyard here for themselves and their families to use for vacation gatherings.
Baili Xin'er looked at the direction of the carriage in front of him and said, "This is going to King Rui's other courtyard."
Ling'er said: "There is still some distance from the western suburbs, how do you know where she is going?"
Baili Xin'er affirmed: "King Rui's courtyard is the largest in this southern suburb, and it is isolated from the main house group, don't you see that the carriage is turning west?"
Ling'er looked again, but no, seeing that the courtyard group appeared, the carriage turned around and walked west.
Baili Xin'er said: "You and I can't take this carriage anymore, the area around the Ruiwang Courtyard is the most heavily defended, and there are many guards patrolling the surroundings, and the carriage is too obvious."
So they got out of the carriage and walked, and let the coachman go back first.
Fortunately, the two of them are dressed neatly, not to mention the footsteps of Baili Xin'er, although Ling'er can't compare to Xin'er when she walks, but it is not comparable to ordinary women in this world. The two of them were energetic at this time, and they ran away, and they were even closer than they had just followed in the carriage, and when they saw it, they arrived at the courtyard of King Rui.
