Chapter 257: Bait
The summer sun in Nanchu is scorching, and the spectators by the racecourse have pergolas for shade, but most of the cultivators who participate in the competition disdain to squeeze it.
The family has a private room at home, and naturally goes to the box to enjoy. There are no private rooms, but fortunately, there are many trees scattered around the racecourse, and most of them stay under the trees.
However, under the trees where clusters of teenagers can be seen everywhere, there is one tree that stands out from the rest.
Not only were the young men gathered under the tree who should have stayed in the box at this time to enjoy the melons and fruits offered by their subordinates, but also because there was a large piece of cloth under the tree.
And the cloth is not a beautifully crafted lacquer box in the hands of other families, but a huge steamer.
Against the backdrop of the exquisite meals of the people around, it looks quite bold.
Even compared with the roast leg of lamb taken out of the sheepskin pocket of the Liao people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is not much better.
"This ......" Jiang Yuanyuan followed behind Ji Jiashu, looking at the big steamer that he had never seen in the palace and was speechless for a while, he also went to the street to pay a private visit, and saw such a big steamer in the steamed bun shop on the street.
"What is this...... the other teenagers under the trees around them couldn't help but whisper when they saw this scene, but when the lid of the steamer was lifted, the steam and fragrance rushed out like arrows, and the whispering was gone, but instead there was a "coo" swallowing sound.
Each family has a snack with dry food, but not only is it delicate and expensive, but it is already cold at this time, but I didn't expect to see this steaming snack outside the box.
Not only the heat, but the steamer was not full of pastries, but was divided into many compartments, and all kinds of things were placed in a variety of ways, which made people dazzled. Fragrant rice, fragrant meat, frankincense, each fragrance is extremely attractive.
The teenagers who saw them around and couldn't eat went through a torture.
"What, what is this?" Jiang Yuanyuan, who originally just wanted to avoid Mengyang's old man's invitation and came along, suddenly did not regret his decision, and looked at the big steamer on the cloth in surprise.
"Temple...... Second Highness? As soon as he opened his mouth, the teenagers who couldn't help but want to do it found him, and suddenly they knelt down with hula around him, "Second Highness, why are you here?" β
"No courtesy, no courtesy," Jiang Yuanyuan waved his hand, "I'm here in Weifu today, everyone doesn't have to be polite, just when I don't exist." β
He stared at the steamer on the ground with interest, "What the hell is this?" I've never seen it. β
When you don't exist......
The other teenagers by the steamer stiffened and couldn't speak for a while, and at this moment, Ying Baoyue poked her head out of the steamer, glanced at him and smiled, "Probably a picnic platter?" β
"Platter?" Jiang Yuanyuan blinked, "It's all made of this steamer?" β
"No," Ying Baoyue smiled and said, "The steamer is only used for heat preservation, and the lunch box in the house is not big enough, so this is used." β
"Fuli ......" Jiang Yuanyuan paused, and looked at Ji Jiashu beside him with a strange expression, "Your steamer is big enough." β
"This originally seemed to be a ...... used by subordinates to cook" Ji Jiashu raised his forehead slightly, feeling the subtle gaze of the young people around him, he felt that the reputation of the Southern Chu National Teacher's Mansion was changing, and when his father came back from retreat, he might not recognize the Southern Chu National Teacher's Mansion.
"Yes," Jiang Yuanyuan said, remembering Ji Jiashu's previous words, and looked at Ying Baoyue suspiciously, "This is all done by you, princess?" Do so much? β
Ying Baoyue looked around at the people on the cloth, and said concisely, "There are many people, so I will do more." β
There are many people...... Conveniently......
Jiang Yuanyuan looked around at the young man under the tree, and his expression became subtle, "You are indeed enough." β
There were a lot of people who didn't participate in the competition, two people wearing hats, he guessed that they were the Ji brothers and sisters, and a few people around the woman, and even a certain Nanchu stepson was mixed in, and what surprised him was that there was someone who lowered his head and hoped that he couldn't find it.
"Zihan," Jiang Yuanyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Zihan who was on the ground with a fist next to him, "I didn't expect you to be here." β
A certain guard who was dragged by his brother with his master on his back stiffened into a statue, "Second Highness, Weichen is the elder brother......"
"I brought him here," Chen Zichu said with a smile, "I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess's dim sum is delicious, and the brothers should naturally share the blessings." β
What do these two brothers talk about when they have grown up and are blessed together......
Jiang Yuanyuan's expression became more and more subtle, but at this time, the girl in front of him did not react to their conversation, and just quietly glanced up at him.
"By the way, what is the Second Highness of Nan Chu going to do?"
Jiang Yuanyuan's back stiffened, and he didn't think that he would be asked like this one day. Although he was indeed an uninvited guest, it was the first time anyone had asked such a question.
"Second Highness, he ......" Ji Jiashu stood aside and had to speak with a complicated expression, "Second Highness just happened to hear that I was coming over for dinner, so I came to see ...... together"
Coming to eat?
Ying Baoyue looked at Jiang Yuanyuan, who was standing beside Ji Jiashu, and smiled, "Second Highness must have eaten everything, ...... about these"
"I haven't seen any of these," Jiang Yuanyuan asked, pointing to the bait in the steamer, "What is this?" β
"Meat buns." Ying hugged the moon and said.
"This?" Jiang Yuanyuan pointed again.
"Finger cake."
"What about this?"
"Pancake fruit."
"And this?"
"Egg scramble."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
All right. After asking around, Jiang Yuanyuan was sure that he had never heard of these snacks.
"It turns out that the people of the former Qin all ate these?" The young prince squinted and smiled, "It's really an eye-opener." β
"This ......" Ying Baoyue felt that Qianqin had been misunderstood again, looking at the young people around her looking at the steamer but unable to start because of Jiang Yuanyuan's presence, she patted the cloth on the ground, "If you can, Second Highness will come and taste it?" β
"Okay." Jiang Yuanyuan nodded without hesitation.
Ji Jiashu's expression was even more complicated on the side.
"Say ......" Jiang Yuanyuan walked towards the steamer, looked back at Ji Jiashu who was walking side by side, squinted and smiled, and suddenly spoke, "Just now you said that you were coming for lunch, and you thought that your fiancΓ©e made it specifically for you." β
Ji Jiashu looked at Jiang Yuanyuan helplessly, "You think too much." β
Looking at the people around the woman, Ji Jiashu walked to Ying Baoyue's side without saying a word.
"Ji Gongzi?" Ying Baoyue looked at him.
"I'm sorry," Ji Jiashu whispered in the middle of the barrier, "I brought the Second Highness here." β
If you bring it, you can't let this person go back, Ying Baoyue smiled indifferently, "It's more lively together." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
It is indeed lively under the big locust tree at the side of the racecourse, but at this time, under a tree in the barren mountain outside the racecourse, there are only two teenagers, which is more desolate.
"I can obviously eat with His Highness Mingyue," Zhao Guang took the pastry that had lost its heat with his hand, and looked at Li Ji who was slightly unmunching on the bait in his hand while slightly lifting his mask with an accusatory expression, "Why do I want to accompany you to eat in the wilderness?" β
"You don't have to come," Li Ji said lightly.
"It wasn't for His Highness Mingyue asking me to bring you two pieces of bread, so I wouldn't come," Zhao Guang pouted.
"She ......," Li Ji's eyes lit up, "has she still been discovered?" β
He quietly looked at the bait in his hand.
Zhao Guang's eyes froze when he heard this, and the next moment his expression became serious, he looked at Li Ji and asked, "When you drew lots before, did you do anything, second brother?" β
