Chapter 11: Conquering His Stomach
The three of them took the little boy and prepared to go back to the palace, but the coachman in Wei Wangchen finally arrived late. Mu Xiaoran was so excited that she could finally rest and let go of her hands.
Wei Wangchen and Mu Xiaoran sat in the car with the little child, while Chi Yi sat outside the car with the coachman. The carriage set off and slowly drove through the streets that were gradually recovering to be lively, heading towards the Lingyun Palace.
"Oops, it's too bad, I forgot to buy a gift for Wei Siyu after a toss." Mu Xiaoran slapped her thigh violently, remembering the original purpose of going to the street.
Wei Wangchen looked at her frowning and seemed to be worried, and asked, "Third sister-in-law, but what are you worried about?" ”
Mu Xiaoran replied: "Gift, I forgot to buy a gift for Wei Siyu." ”
After that, Mu Xiaoran reached out to get the items he had just bought, but Wei Siyu hurriedly handed them over. Mu Xiaoran opened one by one to view: wood birds, wooden tops, bamboo dragonflies, strange face masks, rouge, balm, peach blossom fans.....
These should not be suitable for Wei Siyu, right? Mu Xiaoran tied her burden and shook her head.
Wei Wangchen also understood her intentions at this moment, so he persuaded: "Actually, it doesn't matter what gift you give, what matters is your heart. Gift-giving is valuable, as long as the heart arrives, the other party will be able to feel it. ”
With a heart, Mu Xiaoran pondered these two words seriously.
Gift-giving should show the giver's heart, yes, she thought of it.
Back in Fenghua Palace, Mu Xiaoran plunged into the kitchen, and the little kid didn't want anyone but her, so he followed her to stay in the kitchen. She drove away the people in the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and was determined to do a good job.
"They've never seen Western food, so I'll cook a Western meal and give him a candlelit dinner. When the time comes......" Mu Xiaoran thought happily in her heart.
When the time comes, Wei Siyu will definitely drop his jaw and eat the fragrant steak that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, as well as the crispy, golden and tempting fries, accompanied by a glass of wine. Absolutely! Then under the gentle and romantic candlelight, Wei Siyu will be completely conquered by my food.
"Why haven't I ever eaten such wonderful food before?" He would ask.
"Oh, Your Highness, looking at the land of China, this food has its own ears in the whole world. That's what I did for you, and if you change someone, he can't do it. "Hahaha, and then Wei Siyu will bow down to my superb cooking skills.
Once he thinks of killing me, he will never be able to eat such delicious food again, even if his heart is willing, his stomach will be reluctant. Isn't there a saying: If you want to conquer a man's heart, you must first conquer his stomach!
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoran held a piece of beef and laughed wildly. A row of heads poked out of the door and looked at her, is the princess crazy again? Also, where did the princess kidnap a child?
Mu Xiaoran lived with her teammates when she first debuted, and her teammate Aya especially likes to make food at home, and she has seen it many times next to her. So she thinks that it is not difficult to make Western food, and she will definitely succeed today.
Following Aya's method, the beef is massaged and sprinkled with salt and seasonings. There is no steak sauce here, so just take it and the taste won't be too different.
Mu Xiaoran picked up the small bowl with all kinds of spices in front of her and smelled them one by one. If you think it's good, you scoop a spoonful and sprinkle it on the beef. After putting more than a dozen kinds of seasonings, I felt that it should be about the same, and began to massage the beef seriously.
After processing the beef, Mu Xiaoran began to peel potatoes and prepare to make fries. Peel the potatoes into finger-sized strips and set aside.
Then there are tomatoes, how can you eat fries without tomato sauce? Peel the tomatoes, cut them into small pieces and sauté them in a small pan. Put sugar, but no matter how you fry it, you can't make it look like ketchup? She should have added some water, so she added some water to the pot and let it boil slowly.
Mu Xiaoran started to fry French fries, the fire in the stove was always lit, and Mu Xiaoran added another handful of firewood. Pour oil into the pan and after a while, put the freshly chopped potatoes in.
The "Zizi" oil pot made a noise, and a few drops of oil splashed out, which scared Mu Xiaoran to jump out of the distance with an "oops".
"I don't know, okay?" She picked up a pot lid and put it in front of her face, and slowly moved it in the direction of the oil pot. The little kid looked at her with big eyes and thought it was very funny, so he did the same, took the lid of a water tank and put it in front of him, and ran around the kitchen.
Mu Xiaoran slowed him down, and shouted to be careful and slow down. Sensing that there was smoke in the pot, she hurriedly put the spatula in her hand into the pot, and immediately a few drops of oil stars splashed up and landed on her hand, instantly scalding into a few fiery red marks, and after a while, transparent blisters bulged.
Withstanding the scorching pain, she scooped a plate of strips of different colors from the pot. Some are charred black, some are light yellow, wrinkled skin, soft and collapsed, and they really can't afford to be called French fries.
"Baby, come here, stop playing, try this." Mu Xiaoran greeted.
The little kid ran over happily and tilted his head to look at the contents of the bowl, his eyes flashing with great doubt. Mu Xiaoran picked up a piece of fries with her fingers and stuffed it into the corner of the little boy's mouth, looking at his expression expectantly.
Apparently the little kid knows how to appreciate the food from the 21st century, and he mercilessly spit out the two bites of French fries in Mu Xiaoran's expectant eyes.
"You kid, why are you such a picky eater?" Mu Xiaoran said dissatisfied, the little fart was afraid that she would feed herself another one, so she ran away and continued to play with the shield.
"It's okay, it's okay, there's the steak, that's the main character." Mu Xiaoran comforted herself in her heart.
Helplessly, the ideal is too plump, and the reality is too skinny. Mu Xiaoran spent a lot of effort to fry out a piece of charred coal.
"It doesn't matter if the appearance is a little worse, the most important thing is that the taste is good." Mu Xiaoran comforted herself in her heart.
"Baby, how about you come and try this steak?" Mu Xiaoran hugged the little kid over.
She fed a small piece of black beef cut with a dagger to the little boy's mouth, and "ahhhh However, the little kid cried "wow", it was really scary to look like this thing.
At this time, she smelled a mushy smell, something burned out? Only then did she remember that the bottom of the pot had been burned through the ketchup she had boiled, and a flame arose.
"It's on fire, it's on fire." Mu Xiaoran shouted, holding the little kid and running out of the kitchen.
Immediately a subordinate came in, lifted the water and poured it over, the fire was not large, and the fire was quickly extinguished.
"Failed." Mu Xiaoran walked out of the kitchen with a face stained with firewood ashes, and led a crying little child back to his room in despair. If you make it like this, can you still give it to Wei Siyu? It seems that he has failed to conquer him with his cooking skills, so he can only think of other ways.
Qinglan felt distressed and applied medicine to Mu Xiaoran's hands, and every time Mu Xiaoran made a "hiss" sound, she gently blew on the injured place, like coaxing a child.
"Princess, why do you bother? You are a golden branch and jade leaf, where can you do these rough work? Even if we are in Lingyun Country now, you don't need to treat yourself as a human being. Qinglan had tears in her eyes, and there was a little complaint in her tone.
"I did a lot of things that made His Highness angry before, and now I just want to do something for him to make him happy." Mu Xiaoran said softly.
"Princess, you have been wronged. This third highness is too much, princess, if you are not happy, it is a big deal that the slave will accompany you back to Dongsheng. Qinglan muttered.
"Qinglan, now that we have arrived in Lingyun Country, we must treat this place as our home and live a good life. This kind of thing should not be said again. Mu Xiaoran's voice was small, but her tone was firm and stern.
"You just want to make me happy." The conversation between the master and servant Wei Siyu listened to it word for word. Originally, he came to Mu Xiaoran's courtyard after listening to Chi Yi's report, and it happened that Mu Xiaoran and Qinglan were talking, so he couldn't help but listen to the corner. After hearing this, the foot that was about to step into the door stepped back and turned to go to the kitchen.
