Chapter 222: Warmth
Chapter 222 Warmth
Chen Baichuan's divine steed stretched its shadow under the setting sun, pacing slowly on the stone floor, the sound of horses' hooves, and walked step by step in the direction of Qinchafu. (. Request)
Along the way, a few people recognized this Lord Qincha, and they all happened to be clever people, and they knew that Lord Chen didn't seem to be interested in the three bows and nine kneeling. He learned the posture he learned from the soldiers of the 'Chuan' character army in a decent way, and his hands were clenched into fists and placed in front of his heart.
Lord Chen smiled in response to them, and was carried closer and closer by the horse in the direction of home.
After taking the reins of the horse into the hands of the gatekeepers, Lord Chen walked into the gate without hurrying or slowing. As soon as they walked in, Xiao Qi and Lin Jiu stepped forward together and pulled Chen Baichuan to the dining table.
Lord Chen was a little apprehensive in his heart, and the drums kept beating, and he remembered the scene at noon. My unintentional actions at that time may have deeply hurt Baishuang's heart. He struggled with how to coax the hoarfrost as he continued to walk to the dining table.
"Could it be that this is the Hongmen Banquet? Frost has already set up a table full of dark dishes, waiting to punish me? ”
After walking the last part of the road anxiously, Chen Baichuan was still ready to face the dark cuisine, but he still opened his mouth in surprise.
Chen Baichuan wondered if it was spring now, otherwise how could the table be full of spring. Large plates of green vegetables, lying quietly on a white porcelain plate. After being seasoned with rapeseed oil, the vegetables are verdant and look very good.
It's just that the table is full of verdant, and there is no smell of meat, Chen Baichuan really can't whet his appetite. He is not a monk who eats fasting and recites Buddha in the temple, let alone a little rabbit in the grassland and forest, how can he love to be a vegetarian?
Lord Chen glanced at the white frost sitting at the table, and said with a wry smile: "Alas, I didn't expect that I, Chen Baichuan, would seek wealth and strength for the country and the people for half my life, but in the end I would be poor, resulting in the chef in the house not even being able to make a plate of meat." No pop-ups.,I like this kind of site the most.,Be sure to praise] It's really sad to think about. ”
Rao is white girl practiced iceberg cold noodles hard before meeting. was teased by Chen Baichuan's shameless face, which was all a failure. She burst out laughing, covered her mouth and said:
"Who told you to look down on the greens at noon, they are looking for revenge."
Chen Baichuan said with a smile: "How can anyone come to the door to take revenge is fried and put on the plate, besides, the noon matter can't complain about the green vegetables......"
Bai Shuang crossed his hands on his waist, like a little tiger showing off his might, and asked with a tiger face: "Do you want to say that I didn't cook properly, which made that dish difficult to swallow and made you miserable?" ”
Lord Chen was a great official, and replied to her: "Where do I dare to ......?"
Bai Shuang said inch by inch: "Hmph, anyway, these dishes are on the table, if you don't eat them, you will be hungry all night." ”
Lord Chen, who deeply felt the hardships of his male compatriots, muttered: "It's like this before I pass the door, it seems that my dream of accepting the hundredth concubine in the second half of my life is invalid." ”
White Frost gritted his teeth: "You dare? ”
Master Chen didn't dare to say a few words, and after washing the dirt on his hands in the basin of clean hands, he picked up the chopsticks.
After putting a chopstick and vegetables in his mouth, he found that it was already a little cold, but after putting it in his mouth, the taste was quite decent. At least there was no embarrassing situation of overturning salt shakers or raising prices by salt dealers.
'Fortunately, it's not the dark ...... of noon,' said to himself, and after saying a word in his heart, he picked up the bowl full of rice, and prepared to cope with the meal with a table full of green vegetables.
It's just that when he was picking vegetables, the afterglow of his eyes just caught glimpse of the delicate hand of the white frost, and a burn mark appeared between the snow-white eyes.
Chen Baichuan remembered that at noon, he still hadn't seen this trace. He just wanted to ask, but Bai Shuang was angry, don't look at him.
After moving his chopsticks to taste the taste of several other dishes, Master Chen already knew it in his heart.
There is not much difference in the appearance of the dishes on the table, but if you taste it carefully, you can still eat the biggest difference during the period, which is the saltiness problem......
The chefs of the Qincha Mansion are all old cooks brought from Chen Du, and there will never be much error in the control of the salty heat. After more than ten years of cooking, he may be able to put salt even with his eyes closed.
There's only one possibility.
Chen Baichuan looked at the slightly reddened marks on Bai Shuang's hand distressedly, and couldn't help but think of her in the kitchen, carefully learning how to stir-fry all afternoon.
Originally, she was a deep boudoir who didn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, but for her own sake, she was willing to let those slender fingers become rough in the kitchen work.
Lord Chen hated his poor eyesight at noon, and he couldn't even distinguish such a small thing.
I also dislike the dishes made by hoarfrost are unpalatable.
"It's delicious." Chen Baichuan said this, opened his mouth wide and sent the vegetables into his mouth, and in a blink of an eye, he swept several plates!
………………
When night fell, Chen Baichuan held an oil lamp in his study, and the warm firelight flickered in with the breeze through the open window.
With the warm red firelight, Chen Baichuan is making up for the guilt of getting up late during the day. After he slept comfortably in bed at noon today, now retribution has finally come. The new official documents sent by the imperial court have not yet been read, the documents handed over by Huang Shilong about the people of Daling Province have not been read, and even the report written to King Chen every seven days has not yet been written.
A lot of official duties piled up on him, plus today's dinner was really not delicious, and the vegetables couldn't withstand the digestion of stomach acid, and now, his stomach began to growl.
It stands to reason that these official duties are not urgent, and even if he asks the kitchen to cook something to eat, he will not be able to delay much. It's a pity that Chen Baichuan didn't bother to order his subordinates to do these things. Besides, on a winter night, he couldn't bear to ask the cook to get up suddenly.
Just then, he suddenly asked, and the smell of food came in from outside the window.
The belly, which was already drumming, was so sedupted by the fragrance that it was painful. You must know that in this Qincha Mansion, Lord Chen is the Emperor of the Earth.
Chen Baichuan asked domineeringly: "Who is eating, come and divide the officials." ”
It was a woman's voice outside the window this time, and I only heard her say: "It turns out that Ah Chuan is still so domineering, are you hungry?" Could it be that you can't eat enough tonight......"
Chen Baichuan looked at the white frost who walked in in horror, although there was more of a smile on her face, Chen Baichuan was still afraid that there would be dark food in the plate she was holding in her hand.
As the saying goes, a woman's heart is a needle, and Lord Chen can't believe his judgment.
But it wasn't until White Frost put the plate on the table that he understood White Frost's kindness.
Another dish of greens. (To be continued.) )
