In the side hall, Chu Jinrong and Zhao Xiaotang stared at the boiled fish on the plate with wide eyes, and the aroma couldn't stop burrowing into the tip of their noses, but neither of them dared to make a move.

Chu Jinrong looked at Li Qiuchi, who was smiling happily in front of him, and then at the fish in front of him, he swallowed his saliva, "Zhao Xiaotang, such fresh meat is rare, this palace won't rob you, you can taste it first." ”

Zhao Xiaotang was startled, and shook his head into a rattle, "After all, I am just a subordinate, and I can't exceed the rules, Your Highness, let's taste it first." ”

Chu Jinrong gritted his teeth with a smile, "You still grab less food from the palace on weekdays?" ”

Zhao Xiaotang reluctantly smiled: "I have woken up in the subordinate, as a subordinate, you should abide by the duty of the subordinate." ”

Chu Jinrong: "Hehe." ”

Li Qiuchi saw the two of them excuse each other, and his originally smiling face also fell, "The food I made is unpalatable?" ”

Chu Jinrong heard the danger in her tone, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly smiled: "How come, Qiu'er, your craftsmanship is unmatched, and this palace appreciates it very much." As he spoke, in Li Qiuchi's extremely dangerous eyes, he picked up a piece of meat on his plate and sent it to his mouth tremblingly.

Suddenly, his taste buds were like an electric shock, and the aroma of his mouth quickly surrounded the tip of his tongue, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked up the second piece on the table, eager to eat his tongue too, and the speed of eating was getting faster and faster.

Zhao Xiaotang next to him saw Chu Jinrong eating so happily, and immediately became anxious, his eyes stared directly at the fish on the table, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there are so many fish and meat, presumably you can't finish it, let me help you share some of it." ”

Chu Jinrong held the fish and flesh and glared at him with disgust on his face, "Didn't you say hello just now?" ”

Zhao Xiaotang didn't speak, smiled innocently, took out chopsticks, directly grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to eat non-stop.

After Chu Jinrong reacted, Zhao Xiaotang had already sandwiched a few pieces of meat, and he roared: "Zhao Xiaotang, you are so fat that you even have to grab the food in the palace!" ”

The two fought over it.

After a while, the plates on the table were empty, Chu Jinrong looked at the plates with unfinished eyes, and Zhao Xiaotang also had a rumbling stomach, he touched his stomach in embarrassment, and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows proudly, "How is it?" My craft, that's what everybody praises. ”

Chu Jinrong then remembered the person next to him, he turned his head and teased with a smile, "I'm serious, your skills are even better than the chefs in the East Palace." If you were a cook, I would have quit all the cooks in the house and hired you to be my exclusive cook. ”

Li Qiuchi was overjoyed by the praise, and raised his eyebrows proudly, "Since that's the case, then I'll make it difficult for me to make another chopped pepper fish head for you." ”

Chu Jinrong's eyes brightened even more, and Zhao Xiaotang next to him was also watching with a blank eye, after being caught by Chu Jinrong, he sneered in his heart, pressed his head, and smiled gently at Li Qiuchi, "A beauty like a flower, the dishes will definitely not be bad, I am looking forward to your chopped pepper fish head." ”

Li Qiuchi: "......"

The fragrant fish head on the table, next to each of them are green peppers, red peppers, and rattan peppers, and the bright red oil is like splashing on the white and tender fish, which is very attractive.

Chu Jinrong had eaten enough before, and his natural movements were much more elegant. He slowly plucked the meat and put it in the bowl, still feeling the aroma. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Xiaotang's eager appearance, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and said dangerously, "Zhao Xiaotang, if you dare to eat a piece of meat here, this palace will directly throw you out." ”

When Zhao Xiaotang heard this, as if he remembered something, his body trembled, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Li Qiuchi didn't have time to look at the movement next to him, and he didn't have the heart to eat, he only thought about how to do his future career. Opening a clothing store? No, no, she doesn't have the skills. Open a rouge shop? Not really...... It is estimated that the ancients had a deeper knowledge of this aspect than her. Open a brothel? She had in mind that she would be an old bustard, Lappy. Her body trembled, and she quickly rejected the idea. If she is allowed to open a brothel and let the people around her know, it is estimated that she will lose royal face, and the emperor and queen will kill her.

"It's a pity not to open a restaurant with your craft, the restaurant needs a talent like you." Chu Jinrong spoke casually while eating.

These words made Li Qiuchi's head flash, and she slapped her thigh suddenly, "That's right!" I can open a restaurant! ”

Chu Jinrong was so frightened by her sudden movement that his chopsticks shook to the ground, he came back to his senses and glared at Li Qiuchi, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

Li Qiuchi ignored him, her eyes were shining, she got up directly, walked straight into the room and took out a few ingots of silver. Shining brightly, she put it directly on the table, Chu Jinrong looked at it and raised her eyebrows, "You want to use your dowry money to open a restaurant?" ”

She smiled and hooked her lips, "Clever." ”

So, for the next few days, Li Qiuchi locked herself in the door and closed the door, and no one knew what she was going to do.

A few days later, as soon as Li Qiuchi came out, he went straight to the kitchen, and the maid cooks inside all saw her craftsmanship, and respected her very much in their hearts, and after saluting, they retreated one after another.

The kitchen exuded the smell of vegetables all day, and even Chu Jinrong, who was inscribed in the study, smelled it, his pen hand paused, turned his head and asked Zhao Xiaotang beside him suspiciously, "Zhao Xiaotang, what has Li Qiuchi been doing recently?" How is it mysterious? ”

Zhao Xiaotang shook his head in confusion, "I don't know, I just know that the crown princess is cooking now." ”

"I thought of it! I've got it! Li Qiuchi's excited voice sounded outside the door, and Chu Jinrong looked confused.

At night, the lights were still on in Li Qiuchi's room, Chu Jinrong was puzzled, and he was about to knock on the door with the chicken soup that his subordinates helped stew, but found that the door was hidden, so he gently pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Qiuchi sitting at the desk and writing hard, holding the pen and dropping strokes on the rice paper, the serious appearance of the side face was a little frank and cute, and the eyes were slightly drooping, as if he was pondering something. Outside the window, the night was deep, and the gentle wind came in, lifting her rice paper from time to time.

He couldn't help laughing, walked over and put chicken soup next to her, and asked her with a smile, "What are you writing?" ”
