It wasn't until the evening that Meng Jinyu and little Meng Jiang returned to Meng Jinyu's mansion.

There are several bright red lanterns hanging in front of the mansion, which is very beautiful.

A group of maids and attendants lined up to greet them.

"Childe, it's been a great job. Hot water and meals have been heated. Do you eat first or shower and change clothes first? A slim maid standing at the front asked.

"Are you hungry?" Meng Jinyu turned around and asked Xiao Meng Jiang with concern.

Xiao Meng Jiang nodded.

"Okay, let's eat first." Meng Jinyu instructed, "Xiyan, you arrange for a few people to clean up the Yincui Pavilion, and then prepare some girls' clothes and put them in the Yincui Pavilion later." After Miss Meng Jiang finished eating, she took her to the Drinking Green Pavilion to rest. “

"Yes, Childe." Xiyan blessed his body.

"Let's go, let's eat, the master is already waiting for us." Meng Jinyu led the way in front, and a group of people bowed down on both sides of the road.

"Why are you here now, I'm going crazy hungry." A middle-aged bachelor who was constantly combing his beautiful beard roared dissatisfiedly at Meng Jinyu, who had just entered the room.

"Sins, sins, what's the matter with you? Why don't you serve food to Mr. Wei. “

The maids waiting around the table knelt down and explained in a low voice, "Mr. Wei said that he must wait for the prince to come back before he is willing to eat. “

"Gotcha, gotcha. I told them to wait for you to come back. Don't blame them. Mr. Wei waved his hand.

The clever steward hurriedly played the round: "Since the son and the young lady have arrived, let's serve the food, shall we?" “

Meng Jinyu nodded.

The steward hurriedly waved his hand, and Goldman Sachs shouted, "Serve." ”

Exquisite dishes were served.

Meng Jinyu frowned slightly without a trace.

Mr. Wei pursed the corners of his mouth, picked up the chopsticks, ate a few bites, and put the chopsticks down. "I'm full."

Xiao Meng Jiang, who was eating the food, looked at Mr. Wei curiously, just now it was obvious that he was hungry, why did he eat so quickly now?

"It's really boring to eat these things every day." Mr. Wei was outspoken about Gongzi and Xiao Mengjiang.

Xiao Meng Jiang raised his eyes to see the roast duck, braised pork, and roasted eggplant...... It's all hard vegetables with a lot of oil. It's very hearty, but it's also relatively greasy, and it will really eat it at once. Xiao Meng Jiang rolled his eyes and had an idea.

She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and said, "Mr. Wei, I will make some side dishes, or I will make them for you to taste." ”

"How can this work, you are a guest, how can you be allowed to cook." Meng Jinyu blocked.

"I'm here to work, and if I can't do something for everyone, I don't dare to live in the Son's Mansion for nothing. Let me try. Xiao Meng Jiang asked very sincerely.

"Okay, but you have to make sure that you don't get tired." Meng Jinyu said.

"Okay." Xiao Meng Jiang walked out of the house, and the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way for Xiao Lingjun.

Xiao Meng Jiang looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and asked, "Are there any leftovers for making roast duck?" ”

"Also, it's all simmering in this pot." A cook replied.

"How long have you been stewing?" Xiao Meng Jiang asked.

"It's been half an hour." The cook replied honestly.

"Okay, please pick a few pieces and cut them into slices." Xiao Meng Jiang said politely.

Xiao Meng Jiang followed the taste to a bamboo basket, opened the hijab, and asked, "Is this bowl of duck blood?" ”

The cook said embarrassedly: "Miss's eyesight is really good, it's duck blood." This duck is expensive, I am reluctant to throw away the duck blood, thinking that when I come back to work, I will bring it back to my family to replenish my body. ”

Xiao Meng Jiang asked, "Then can I use it?"

"You use it, you use it." The cook hurriedly said.

Xiao Meng Jiang asked again: "What is this duck soup?" “

"The masters eat meat, and we will drink some broth. When the masters finish their meal, we will eat a little more. “

Xiao Meng Jiang nodded, tasted it, and asked, "Can I use it?" “

The cooks nodded their heads.

"Excuse me, thank you." Xiao Meng Jiang rolled up his sleeves and asked.

"I'll come, I'll come." A cook hurriedly raised his hand to help.

Xiao Meng Jiang took out a small bag of things from the cloth bag he was wearing, and everyone looked at it curiously, wondering what was inside.

Inside the bag was a handful of coarse, yellowish, weed-like things, which looked a little hard and crunchy.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Xiao Meng Jiang wants to do.

Waiting for the hot water in the pot to boil, Xiao Meng Jiang put the weed-like thing into it. Everyone watched as the originally hard and crispy things slowly softened and turned into crystal clear silver threads.

At this end, Xiao Meng Jiang added a small amount of water to the bowl containing duck blood, and watched the duck blood gradually solidify, she put a little salt in it and set it aside.

Xiao Meng Jiang poured these crystal clear silver threads into the duck soup and stirred evenly.

After waiting for a while, pour the duck blood whole into the boiling water, and when it boils, scoop it up and pick it up. She walked to the pot where the duck soup was boiling with the boiled duck blood and poured the duck blood into it.

When it is time to boil, put the silver shreds and chunks of duck blood in two bowls along with the duck broth.

Afterwards, Xiao Meng Jiang quickly sprinkled the prepared coriander, shallots, duck liver, duck intestines and duck gizzards on top of the duck soup. Clapped his hands and said happily: "It's done!" “

The cooks were surprised, "What is this dish?" ”

Xiao Meng Jiang thought for a while and said, "Simply put, it's duck blood silver silk soup, if you taste it for Gongzi and Mr. Wei, you have to have a learned and elegant name, what's the name of it?" Pregnant! Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, how's that? Xiao Meng Jiang looked at everyone and asked for advice.

"Good!" Everyone applauded, although they didn't know what it meant, but it sounded like a good name if a reader could chew words.

The housekeeper smelled the fragrant soup, stepped forward, and hurriedly said, "Miss Meng Jiang, then I'll hurry up and serve the food to Gongzi and Mr. Wei."

Xiao Meng Jiang smiled and picked up the tray and handed it to the butler.

Before the soup arrived, the aroma arrived first. Mr. Wei swallowed as he smelled the duck blood silver silk soup that had just been brought in, "This is?" “

"Miss Meng Jiang said that the name of this dish is 'Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet'."

"A good name, a good spring river plumbing duck prophet, just in time for this season." Mr. Wei was already impatient, picked up the chopsticks and tasted a mouthful of duck blood. "Elastic, delicate and tender."

Meng Jinyu tasted a mouthful of duck soup and said: "Good soup, delicious and delicious, strong umami, refreshing and not greasy." He picked up a strand of silver with his chopsticks and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is called silver wire, which I learned from the restaurant opened by Jia Dacaishen. First, grind the cassava into flour, add some water and stir and filter. Then pour the boiling water into the filtered cassava pulp, rub and filter it repeatedly, wrap the cassava pulp tightly with a clean white cloth, and then shovel the ashes from the stove and cover it on the cloth. Wait for the tapioca flour to dry, add the appropriate amount of water and continue kneading. ”

Xiao Meng Jiang paused and continued: "The cassava ball needs to be put into a special colander spoon, squeezed out of the leakage hole by hammering, into strips, first put into a hot pot, piping hot shape, and then put it in cold water to stand, and then use a long bamboo pole to fish out the sweet potato flour from the boiling water, and immediately put it into a cold water to cool, and then keep turning to prevent the silver filaments from sticking together in the cold water. Finally, the silver wire should be hung separately on the shelf one by one, and it should be shaken away with the sun to ensure that each silver wire is dried evenly. “

"It was really an eye-opener for me and Mr. Wei." Meng Jinyu couldn't help but admire.

Mr. Wei continued to chew on the chewy duck intestines and silver threads, praising the words, "It's really delicious and unique." ”

"This meal really makes the old man feel comfortable eating!" Mr. Wei touched his bulging belly and said with great satisfaction.

After the dinner, several people who were full of wine and food left the table one after another.

Before leaving, Meng Jinyu stopped Xiao Meng Jiang. "It's getting late, so get some rest, and tomorrow you'll have to practice the tunes and poems I taught you. I'll test you. Meng Jinyu smiled slyly at little Meng Jiang.

"Oh, no. You sing so well, I don't even remember many tunes and poems, what should I do? ”

"I know you'll forget, I've already prepared a score for you, you go back and practice more." Meng Jinyu urged seriously.

Oh, my God! Xiao Meng Jiang wailed in his heart, why Meng Jinyu and Chu Chu are the same, they both like to leave me homework, and they love to torture me with what I'm not good at, isn't it?

"Is this the daughter of His Royal Highness King Cheng?"

"Yes."

"Before King Cheng left, he asked someone to send a message to me, asking me to take care of Lingjun. However, I was delayed by some affairs, and I went a little late, and someone had already helped take care of her, and that person was related to the Wu clan of Chu State. “

"Hmm...... The Wu clan of the Chu State, that's really strange. “

The Wu clan of Chu has a transcendent position in Chu State, and its strength can shake the foundation of Chu State and determine the overall situation of Chu State. Only a very small number of people have seen the members of the Wu clan of the Chu State. Since ancient times, the Wu people have only intermarried with each other. However, with the sharp decline of the Wu people, in order to strengthen the cooperation between the Wu and the Chu royal family, the descendants of the Wu were allowed to marry with the Chu royal family.

"I'm only a person from the Chu royal clan who also has the blood of the Wu clan."

"Who is it?"

"The little prince of Chu is the most favored little prince - Chu Wuhuang."
