Saijia Backyard -

"Is the new chef here?"

"Young lady?" The family member who was questioned was a little surprised, and stopped his man, "The cook disappeared early this morning, and I don't know ......where to go."

Before the words fell, Jia Ding saw another person coming from afar, and Na Jiading hurriedly bowed his head respectfully: "Madam." ”

The person who came was the eldest lady.

She followed the maid Xiaolian.

Qin Lan also saluted respectfully when she saw the eldest lady: "Mother-in-law." ”

The eldest lady nodded flatly: "Where is Xia Shang?" ”

"Back to Mrs., Xia Shang disappeared after returning from the inner courtyard. I heard that they were going to prepare a feast? But I don't know where I went, ma'am, do you want to send someone to look for it?"

"No, if you see him return, I will order him to come to my room." As he spoke, his gaze fell on Qin Lan, "Why are you here?" ”

"My daughter-in-law wants to ask the cook to teach me how to make rice cakes."

"Cooking, please?" The eldest lady frowned slightly, "Don't interfere with such trivial matters in the future." In the past few days, Xia Shang has to prepare a banquet for my Sai family, and the stakes are very high, so you must not disturb it again. ”

Soon, the people who came to find Xia Shang left.

At this time, Xia Shang was conceiving a banquet in his own space kitchen.

If you want to say that there are tools in the space kitchen, it should be very simple to prepare a table of banquets to meet the requirements of the eldest lady, because the space kitchen can provide a lot of ingredients and condiments that have not been available in the Tang Dynasty. If you use these ingredients to cook a dish, you will definitely be able to surprise everyone.

However, it is unclear what kind of trouble this will cause, and if there are too many things that are ahead of their time, how will people ask where the ingredients come from? If you can't answer, will you be arrested as a demon? These are all things that Xia Shang should consider in advance.

The safest way is to choose the existing ingredients for cooking, but the conditions in ancient times were limited, if all the raw materials that the Tang Dynasty should have, can the dishes cooked achieve the expected effect? Xia Shang is not confident in this. It's not that Xia Shang's cooking skills are not good, it's really limited by conditions, not to mention monosodium glutamate chicken essence, even refined salt, the Tang Dynasty used coarse salt, not only the taste is not pure but also very astringent, and the dishes made with such seasonings are lacking anyway.

After thinking about it, Xia Shang decided that it was better not to attract the attention of others, and the raw materials were made of Datang's existing ingredients, and he could quietly add the spices that he had in the space kitchen. After all, seasonings are not easy to spot, and the results achieved are worlds of difference.

Just as he was planning, Xia Shang suddenly noticed the vegetables on the kitchen counter, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Huh? What if I take these seeds out of the world and grow them? Wouldn't it be possible to have a new ingredient and explain it clearly? ”

Speaking of vegetable seeds, Xia Shang remembered the peppers planted in the vegetable garden the day before yesterday.

Let go of what you want first, and hurry to the vegetable garden to investigate.

As soon as I entered the vegetable garden, seven or eight peppers with excellent growth were quietly in the soil. In just two days, the seeds in the ground actually bore fruits, and the peppers were so red that they were hot, and all the fruits stood facing the sky, typical peppers.

Xia Shang rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "This Nima is too godly, right?" This rally, this pattern...... Damn, this soil is really fat! ”

Xia Shang hurriedly picked one, the Chaotian pepper in his hand was round and full, and a slight sniff made Xia Shang break out in a cold sweat.

"Enough!"

Feeling the spicy smell, Xia Shang's saliva was about to flow out.

However, the magic of this soil surprised Xia Shang even more, looking at the dark soil in the vegetable garden, a wonderful plan gradually formed in Xia Shang's mind.

……

In the afternoon, Xia Shang suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the Sai family, and immediately a family member came up: "Where have you been?" ”

"I went out and ran some errands."

"Oh, the eldest lady has been looking for you for a long time, so let you go to her room as soon as you get back."

"The eldest lady looking for me? Do you know what's going on? ”

"Don't ask, let's hurry over, don't let the eldest lady wait."

"Oh."

Xia Shang soon arrived at the door of the eldest lady's wing, looked at Tunka at the door suspiciously, and then shouted, "Madam, Xia Shang is here." ”

"Come in." The lazy voice of the eldest lady came from inside the room.

Pushing open the door, a strong tobacco smell came.

Xia Shang noticed it last time, and this time it was closer, and the smell was more distinct, especially for Xia Shang.

Xia Shang recognized the taste at the first time.

Be**!

Xia Shang frowned, quietly entered the room, and began to look at the layout in the room.

The eldest lady slept on the couch, drawing the curtains, and through the screen in front of the window, you could see the shadow of an incense burner. The smoke behind the screen was the thickest, and wisps of green smoke were piling up on the roof.

"Shhh...... How could the eldest lady burn **? Could it be that the ** was burned by mistake as incense? History has not recorded ** in the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that there is a leak in history? ”

These questions can only be hidden in my heart, and it is impossible to ask the eldest lady not to smell it so rashly. Only by knocking on the side and asking first.

Xia Shang stood outside the screen: "Madam, the smell of smoke in your room is really special. Don't know where you got it? ”

"It's just a gift from a friend, what? Do you think this fragrance is good? ”

"I just think it's chic."

The eldest lady continued to lazily say: "It is thanks to this thing that Mrs. Ben can sleep comfortably when she is upset. ”

"I wonder how long the eldest lady has been using this thing?"

"You...... Why do you ask this? ”

"Well, just casually."

There was movement in the curtain, and the eldest lady stepped out of the screen in a loose dressing gown. accompanied by the maid Xiaolian.

I didn't expect Xiaolian to be there, but I didn't see the shadow of this girl from the screen just now, and at this time, a pair of big eyes were full of hostility towards Xia Shang.

Fortunately, the eldest lady didn't notice.

The eldest lady seems to have just woken up now, the loose nightgown has been pressed out of many folds, and the fabric is very light, and the color of the skin can be faintly seen. Especially the big bucket that kills people, it seems to be full of water, and I really want to help her put it out.

The dazzled eldest lady didn't notice Xia Shang's eyes, nor did she notice what she was wearing at the moment, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "Where have you been?" ”

"Madam, now that I have settled in Saijia, some things in the past at home are about to be moved, I don't have anything of value, but there are still some chic vegetables in the vegetable garden, and I have moved those vegetables to the idle vegetable garden in the backyard."

"Chic vegetable?"

"The eldest lady smiled, it's just some small things."

The eldest lady nodded: "That's fine, the small vegetable garden in the backyard has been abandoned for a long time, if you can use it, use it." But after a while, the banquet after leaving, do you have a plan in mind? ”

"Don't worry, madam, I have a plan."
