Chapter 10 The Dining Table is the Battlefield
Jiang Yu asked people to send Dr. Hu away, and when he returned to the study, Shi Zuo was waiting quietly at the door: "Jiang Shao, the matter of the golden cake is almost investigated." β
The man tore open the top two buttons of his shirt and said in a cold voice: "Say." β
"The thing is true, the old object of the first year of Anxing, there is no precedent in China for making such a fine gold cake, the appraiser said, this is likely to be a bounty given by the emperor to a large family." Shi Zuo's tone was flat, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing, "The things that come out of the palace have to be doubled in value." β
"Let's take it first," Jiang Yu straightened his cuffs, the sapphire on them emitted a faint dark light, "I'll wait until Shen Jinchu's true identity is clear." β
Although these two small gold cakes were worth a fortune, in his eyes, this money was nothing at all.
If Shen Jinchu can really affect the fortune of the Jiang family, let alone let her eat and live for nothing, even if it is a reverse payment, Jiang Yu will not be able to ask for it.
It didn't take long for it to be lunchtime, and as soon as Shi Zuo brought the dishes to the table, Shen Jinchu's little head poked out from the stairs.
"Have you washed your hands?" Shi Zuo smiled at her, "Sit down and wait first, Jiang Shao will be here soon." β
Shen Jinchu wore a pink and moon-white embroidered gold skirt todayβthis was the one she had personally selected from the hundreds of clothes sent by Shizuo, and she still felt that this kind of clothes was more comfortable than modern outfits.
The girl sat in a chair and stared at the strange-looking delicacies on the plate.
"What is this?" She pointed to a plate of slippery-looking food, her eyes glistening with curiosity.
"It's a special kind of oyster," Shi Zuo said, "and it's a species that can only be found on a small island in the southern hemisphere, and it's very troublesome to breed." β
Shen Jinchu nodded, and then looked at another black thing.
Without waiting for her to ask, Shi Zuo took the initiative to say: "This is caviar, produced by the top Beluga, and it tastes very good." β
Caviar, Shen Jinchu silently repeated it in his heart, feeling that his saliva was about to flow out.
When Jiang Yu walked downstairs, what he saw was the girl's infatuation staring at the plate with a longing expression.
"Let's eat," he sat down on the throne and looked at Shi Zuo, who was standing on the side, "You sit down and eat together." β
Shi Zuo sat down like a stream, and the three of them picked up chopsticks and knives and forks, ready to start enjoying today's lunch.
Jiang Yu ate a piece of oyster first, and then picked up the silver spoon, ready to start with the caviar.
However, as soon as he brought the spoon to the edge of the bowl, he realized that something was wrong.
The bowl of caviar that was originally sharp was only half a bowl left at this time, Jiang Yu turned his head to look at Shen Jinchu, and sure enough, he found a small caviar on her face that accidentally stuck to the corner of her lips.
Jiang Yu: ......
This is just the beginning of eating, why did most of the bowl go down?
Seeing this, the chef next to him filled the bowl with caviar.
But the chef obviously underestimated Shen Jinchu's combat effectiveness, and when the two large bowls of caviar were full, Jiang Yu only had time to eat two spoonfuls, and the rest were all solved by Shen Jinchu.
Shi Zuo just silently ate the salad and steak in front of him, occasionally drank soup, and quickly filled his stomach.
Jiang Yu also stumbled through the meal, and when he finally put down the knife and fork, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, feeling like he had just gotten off the battlefield.
