96. Divination

Jiang Chi pointed to the dishes in the first food box and said with a smile: "This is cherry meat." The most well-known dish in the palace. ”

White jade plate. The cherry flesh is as round as an agate, and the verdant bean seedlings are placed around the edge of the plate. The more foiled the cherry flesh is more and more red. It's like a plate of mouth-watering cherries that have just been plucked from a tree.

Qiao Siwan only took a sip, then nodded and said with a smile: "So exquisite." It takes a lot of psychology to think about it. ”

Jiang Chi nodded. "Make this dish." Nothing, the main thing is to plan fresh cherries and serve them in white porcelain jars with meat. Add some water. Let it simmer slowly over a simmer for four hours. The meat will be crispy. The aroma of cherries has the ability to boil out. ”

Lou peach is an extremely precious fruit, and it is rare to see it in mortal homes. It's Qiao's house. It is also unintentional to taste. The Qin Wangfu is used to cook, and the cost can be seen. Qiao Siwan saw that Jiang Tianye was like coarse tea and light rice, the most ordinary, and she didn't take such a precious fruit to heart, so she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

Jiang Chi saw her treacherous expression, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Qiao Siwan smiled: "It's nothing, I just remember that the poet of the previous dynasty already had a poem describing cherries, and what he said was that it was green." A few cherry leaves with red undersides" just because of the flesh of the cherry. I'm afraid that it will have to be changed. ”

Jiang Chi smiled slightly. "That's right, according to my opinion, it should be changed to green and green, and a few cherry leaves are red, which is more appropriate." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. There seems to be some tacit understanding in the conversation. Jiang Tianye's eyes were full of brilliance, looking at Qiao Siwan without squinting, Qiao Siwan was stunned for a moment, and casually turned her body slightly, as if she was very happy. He said softly: "What about the second food box, what does it contain?" ”

Jiang Chi looked at Qiao Siwan, her silhouette was very beautiful. The vibrant green outside the window was even clearer, and her voice was very low. Clear as spring water, now the lake blue brocade clothes are worn on the body, and there is also a charming and charming charm. He adjusted his breath slightly. smiled: "It's snow ear Xuanlian soup." ”

At this moment, even Qiao Siwan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Snow fungus is a type of white fungus. In the Great Calendar Dynasty, its current price was extremely expensive, often a small one. It costs one or two hundred taels of silver to buy the snow fungus, which is the joy of the rich to spend money to purchase. I can't find the most woman. Because the most feminine snow fungus is often sent to the palace as a tribute.

"Xuanlian was transported from Minzhou Tianjiefang. Therefore, it is the most valuable, and it must be matched with snow fungus, you can taste it. Jiang Tianye personally handed the spoon to Qiao Siwan. Qiao Siwan took a sip, only to feel that it was full of fragrance, and there was a faint fragrance of pear blossoms. Take off. Said: "This soup is filled with pear blossom juice?" ”

"Yes, it's pear blossom juice. Just add a lot of umami. Jiang Tianye replied casually, and opened the third food box casually, only to see a burst of steam, assimilated with a clear aroma, it was fish soup. Jiang Tianye filled a bowl of fish and said softly, "You taste it." ”

His eyes were shining, with a faint hint of flattery, and the prince of Qin had never done such a flattering thing, so even he didn't notice how strange the tone was. Qiao Siwan couldn't help herself wanting to breathe. But I don't think it's appropriate. I could only smile and take the small bowl and bow my head to taste. After a while, I couldn't help but widen my eyes. Qiao's family is also a prosperous place, from childhood to adulthood. Rare and precious fish are not known to be eaten in excess of less. Taste it. I just feel in. Facilitation. The cheeks are fragrant. This fish is actually a precious will, which has never been seen before.

"This is a pearl fish, which developed in the Canghe River, two thousand miles away from Dumen. Canghe is one of the strangest places. It was foggy all year round, and the river was cold to the bone. From afar, the lake looks like it's frozen. This pearl fish is only developed in the Canghe River. Rely on the water of the Canghe River for livelihood. As soon as he left the water, he died. If you boil these dead fish in ordinary water, it is the most unpalatable. The taste is far worse than that of ordinary fish. ”

Qiao Siwan was stunned for a moment, and said casually with some surprise: "If you leave the water, you will die." How can it be transported to Dumen? ”

Jiang Tianye said with a smile: "It's not difficult, just bring a small batch of Canghe water when transporting this fish, but the living water is flowing and fresh." Once it leaves the water source, it becomes stagnant water, so the water used for transportation needs to be changed from time to time, which is a bit more troublesome. You eat porridge. In the future, I will send someone to Qiao Guiyu. ”

Qiao Siwan was stunned. Suddenly I thought of Jiang Tianye's actions today. There was a vague purpose, as if to report her. The power of the Thai royal palace is extremely powerful. Prosperity is even more difficult for mortals to envy. Just thinking about it made her expression change slightly. The voice was also a little indifferent: "The prince is not so polite. The Qiao family is an ordinary official family, and such a valuable thing is actually not blessed to enjoy. ”

Jiang Tianye was stunned. A quick trace of injury crossed his eyes. But such feelings were hidden very quickly, and they almost flashed away, and then regained their calm. If someone else had spoken to him like that. I was afraid that he would be angry, but Qiao Siwan said this, but he didn't get angry, just his eyes were slightly open, and there was a slight smile on his handsome face: "Qiao Siwan, are you afraid of being moved by me?" That's why they stabbed me with such words. ”

Qiao Siwan was stunned. A strange look appeared on her face spontaneously, as if she was happy or unhappy, as if she was angry or angry, so that people couldn't guess what she was thinking.

Jiang Tianye rolled his eyes, and said casually in an unusually gentle tone: "I have no intentions, you didn't think much about it." He said. He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Someone! ”

Immediately, there was a girl ring walking in quickly. Respectfully await his entrustment. Jiang Tianye pointed to the fish soup and said, "Send it back." ”

Yahuan knew how to go down with the fish soup.

Jiang Tianye raised his feather and poured a glass of lukewarm flower brew. said lightly: "I know you haven't drunk." This is a flower brew that will not be intoxicating. ”

Qiao Siwan was silent, only looking at the faintly flowing jade feather with brilliance.

Jiang Chi's expression changed suddenly, and he sneered: "Are you afraid of what I will do?" As he said this, he quickly took a drink of the feather and said in a low voice, "Qiao Siwan." You underestimate me too much, although I Jiang Chi said that he doesn't carry the trick. But he's not that kind of man! ”

These words are heard in my ears. It flows into the lungs. Gradually create a hot knife. Holding her chest, Qiao Siwan sighed, she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Tianye, and said softly: "The prince has misunderstood." I don't have those intentions. ”

Jiang Chi leaned over suddenly, the distance was so close, and his breath blew straight into Qiao Siwan's neck.

She couldn't help but shudder strangely.

"If I want you, I can ask Your Majesty for marriage, and then you will have to refuse. But I didn't do it, do you know why? A faint smile spread from Jiang Chi's lips. The words were also said very calmly: "The person I want must belong to me from body to mind, and if I only get a person, it is a shell, what is the use." ”

The surprise was roughly straightforward, but it made Qiao Si calm down quickly. She smiled slightly: "The affection of the prince, Qiao Siwan knows it. It's just that I don't know what is worth worrying about so much."

The smile on Jiang Chi's face gradually retracted, and he replied to her, "You really don't know? She didn't answer, but looked at him.

Jiang Tianye suddenly laughed, it was impossible for himself. I couldn't stop coughing. I breathed a sigh of relief for a while. Fang said again: "Yes, there are so many women in the universe, I may not be able to find someone better than you, but I only fancy you, why?" This mystery was occasionally perplexed even by himself.

At this time, Yahuan had already sent the food box again.

Jiang Tianye seemed to have forgotten the topic of suitable talents. Pointing to the jasper cup, he said, "It's still the fish just now." Just don't exhaust the bones and scales, cook them with tender tofu and make fish soup.

He said that it was easy, but fish soup is a difficult food to cook, and all the fish bones should be cut out, leaving only the meat. Cooked with tender tofu in a very short period of time, the heat and seasoning are the most important. Qiao Siwan picked up the spoon and tasted it, Jiang Tianye smiled at her and said, "Isn't it delicious." ”

Qiao Siwan nodded, her smile was a little sincere, this smile shook Jiang Tianye's heart for a while, and he said softly: "This fish bone also has a clever usage. I heard that people on the banks of the Canghe River often use it for divination, and it is extremely effective. ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands. The girl who was waiting for the worship in the curtain took a delicate jade plate and entered. The dish was covered with a white silk handkerchief. Jiang Tianye personally lifted the veil. Expose the fish bones inside.

"This fish has a short bone under its gills, which is used for divination." Jiang Chi pointed to the fan-shaped fish bone and said with a smile. "This fish bone has another name, called Little Fairy."

Qiao Siwan glanced at the fishbone. It is seen that it is slightly softer than the bones of other parts of the fish's body. Half of the side is the flattest when it's straight. It really looks like a small sail.

"Roll three times in a row, as in the middle of three of them. Throwing this fishbone upright once proves that your wish can come true. He smiled and closed his eyes for a moment. As if he was petitioning, he then clamped the fish bone with ivory chopsticks. Throw it off the table and onto the ground.

The fish bone lay flat on the ground, Jiang Tianye frowned, and threw it twice. The fishbone was still lying flat. Jiang Chi's beautiful eyes were filled with deep trouble. Although he only deliberately used this fishbone to joke, and the fishbone still did not stand upright after three throws, the truth was a very disappointing thing.

Qiao Siwan shook her head with a smile and said, "It's hard to see that the wish of the next son of the world will come true. ”

Jiang Chi laughed: "Not necessarily. He said. He threw it down again, four times, five times. Six times. But not once.

Qiao Siwan smiled lightly, with a hint of childlike naughtiness. said: "Why don't I try my luck." As she spoke, she took the fishbone handed over by Yahuan and threw it down gently, but the fishbone fell to the ground, but she stood up straight impartially.

Jiang Chi's black eyes were painted. With a gentle smile that I have never seen before: "This time it was thrown on my behalf, and I asked it appropriately"

At the moment when the fishbones were erect, Qiao Siwan's complexion changed slightly. A sad look appeared on her face involuntarily, Jiang Tianye seemed to be seduced by this sorrow, and forgot what she was about to say. Leaning down little by little.

"Shizi!"

At the same time as his lips almost fell, Qiao Siwan suddenly turned her head sideways. Shouted.

This one. Waking Jiang Tianye up from a vague sense, Qiao Siwan said lightly: "It's landed." With that, she took the lead in standing up and walked out.

Jiang Tianye watched her floating back disappear in front of her. Stretch out his right hand holding the feather. The feather has long been shattered by him. The slender and beautiful hand gradually unfolded, and the feather bud was entrenched into six or seven pieces. Thin porcelain tiles, sparkling in the sunlight. All fall into the turquoise lake.
