Chapter 23 Culinary
Since Sister Qin cooked, Shu Ruo's three meals a day have returned to normal. Before, she ate when she was hungry, but after more Xi'er, although the three meals were normal, many times she dealt with it casually, and Xi'er's cooking skills were not good.
Even so, Shu Ruo occasionally felt that he was not satisfied with his food, and from time to time he would go to Juxianglou to add food, and eat in the Four Princes' Mansion.
In fact, Sister Qin's cooking skills are much better than those of ordinary people. Breakfast, porridge, pancakes, buns, and noodles are all changed, and each meal on weekdays is also made with four dishes and one soup, and try not to be the same. In fact, Shu Ruo knew that he had found a treasure, but recently, every time he came to dinner, his face was full of grievances.
Steamed fish, stir-fried shredded pork, dried radish, green vegetables, and an egg drop soup are all light and without a hint of chili. I miss chili peppers and haven't eaten them for almost two months. Although Shu Ruo is from Guangzhou and eats lightly, her mother is from Hunan. Shu Ruo has always loved Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, although it is not spicy or happy, but it is uncomfortable to eat spicy food for two months.
Sister Qin looked at Shu Ruo and didn't move her chopsticks for a long time, "Childe, don't you have a taste?" Sister Qin's cooking is not delicious? ”
Shu Ruo was still missing the spicy chicken made by her mother, and suddenly heard her called, and came back to her senses, "No, I was thinking about things just now." "Quickly grabbed a few bites of food. Why don't you let Sister Qin go to the Four Kings' Mansion to learn cooking skills from the cook? It should be okay for the fourth prince to talk so well recently, ask when you pass today.
Since opening Jingyixuan, Shu Ruo has taken on fewer portraits of beautiful women, only one or two a day. First, she didn't have that much energy, and second, the women who sent portraits to the Four Kings' Mansion were almost there. There are still a lot of people who want to be painted, but if the money is not enough, how dare they find Shu Ruo's portrait. Originally, this was also a timeliness business, and Shu Ruo didn't care too much.
After finishing today's portrait, Shu Ruo walked towards the Four Princes' Mansion, and went around to Juxianglou halfway to buy two jars of good wine. Asking someone to do something, you have to be a bit begging someone to do something, although the four princes don't lack anything, and they want to get it.
Leng Han looked at Shu Ruo who brought two jars of wine, this Nizi came to him to drink, thinking of the first two times she was drunk, she shook her head, "Looking for this king to drink?" ”
"Yes, no, that wine is for you."
"Send this king?"
"Hey, hey! I want to ask you for something. ”
What the hell is this Nizi doing again, Leng Han didn't look at Shu Ruo, and continued to look at the official business in his hand.
What's the situation, this is rejected before he can speak? Haven't you been talking better lately? It's starting to be cold again today? Auntie is here? Seeing that it was not easy to speak for a while, Shu Ruo decided to draw first. Maybe after a while, he will be in a good mood after reading the painting, and then he will talk about it.
After the painting was finished, Leng Han just looked at it and asked her to put the painting aside and continue to deal with official business.
Shu Ruo wilted, this prince didn't follow common sense, and he didn't have a chance to speak. hesitated at the door, wanting to come forward and disturb, but didn't dare.
Leng Han was really busy, he originally wanted to wait for Shu Ruo to say something, but Shu Ruo didn't say it, and he forgot about it when he was busy with official business. It's not that I deliberately ignore Shu Ruo.
This will be specially waiting for Leng Han's Anzi to come, and ask Leng Han to go to the dining hall for dinner, or send it to the study. Shu Ruo felt that this was an opportunity, and he was very shameless, "Lord Wang, you see that I have painted so hard, I am already hungry, can I have a meal at your house!" ”
Leng Han only saw Shu Ruo at this time, she was still there, and thought she was going back, what did she say in front of her, please ask him, as if she didn't say it later, she didn't have an impression. "Go to the dining hall, this king and Master Shu will go over for a while." Leng Han instructed Anzi.
"Thank you, you are so good!" Shu Ruo's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is still a chance.
When Anzi heard the order and left, he thought in his heart, could this Shu painter really be taken by the prince and dine with the prince several times.
The ancients paid attention to food, and they didn't say anything, but when Shu Ruo was there, there would be no such situation, which time was not chirp wow. Looking at Shu Ruo, who has always been very keen on eating, he actually ate slowly, and said coldly, "Today's food is not palatable?" ”
"No, it's just too palatable, so you have to taste it slowly." Isn't it? It makes me worry about it every day.
"Oh, I haven't seen you taste it like this on weekdays." The word slow was deliberately emphasized.
Shu Ruo thought, this is an opportunity, "Lord Wang, I really like the dishes made by your palace chefs, can I let my sister Qin come and learn a few dishes from the palace chefs?" ”
This Nizi is abnormal today, and she has this idea, "This is the thing you said you wanted to ask me for?" ”
Shu Ruo, "Uh-huh...... May I? ”
Looking at Shu Ruo's expectant expression, he really wanted to tease her, "How to calculate the tuition?" ”
"Ah, there's still tuition." muttered even quieter, don't be so stingy, you don't lack silver.
Leng Han heard it clearly, and this little girl was in a hurry to mention the silver to her, "Of course, the chef invited by the palace is not cheap, and this king also has to pay the cook." ”
"Well, how much do you say? Wait, not too much, I'm poor, I have a big family to raise. ”
Leng Han smiled, Shu Ruo didn't notice that he felt sorry for the silver. "I don't need you to give me money, just promise to help this king do something, I haven't thought of it yet, I want to tell you later."
"Isn't this more sad than asking for silver, what if you want me to kill someone?"
Just your small body, kill people, "This king has no shortage of people who help this king kill people, rest assured that it is definitely something you can do, and it will not cause you trouble." ”
Shu Ruo fought hard for the sake of food. "Okay then, then I can let Sister Qin come to learn tomorrow?"
"Not everyone can come in the palace, you can take her with you when you come to paint every day, it's enough to study for three days?"
Shu Ruo weakly compared a five, "It's not okay to do it in five days, so that I can learn a few more dishes I like." ”
Leng Han agreed, and now Shu Ruo was happy, and resumed his usual gobbling.
After Shu Ruo left, Leng Han thought thoughtfully, it had only been a long time, and there were many more people around her all of a sudden. Leng Han called Dark One and told him to check who the people around Shu Ruo were.
And Shu Ruo was happy when he thought that he would be able to eat similar dishes to the chefs of the palace in the future, which could be regarded as making up for the little comfort of not being able to eat chili peppers.
humming a little song in his mouth, he walked briskly towards the courtyard of Xishu Hutong. She still has to think about how to tell Sister Qin about going to the Four Kings' Mansion to learn cooking. After all, she hadn't mentioned it to Sister Qin, and she didn't know if she would be unhappy if she said it. Would you think she dislikes her cooking?
In fact, compared to not knowing how to cook, someone cooks and eats, Shu Ruo already feels very happy, but who made her a foodie, if she can choose to make it more delicious, then why not.
If the dishes of Juxianglou can be learned, Shu Ruo will also let Sister Qin go. But people do business, relying on the cooking skills of Juxianglou, how can people learn it. Shu Ruo thought about it.
The next day, when I told Sister Qin, Sister Qin was not angry and easily agreed. Shu Ruo was relieved now. In fact, she thinks too much about herself, worrying about this and that.
In fact, Sister Qin had already seen that her son-in-law didn't pay attention to anything else on weekdays, and only had requirements for food, but she would be like that. She and her sixth son now have a stable accommodation, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and she is very grateful to Shu Ruo. Every day Jingyixuan's study an hour before the opening of the business can make the six sons literate these things, and she feels that even if Shu Ruo asks her to kill, she can accept it. In the past few years, Liuzi has suffered with her, and many times she regretted bringing Liuzi out.
"Qin Niangzi, you learned very quickly, this is the first time you have done it, it is really rare to have this taste." Chef Liu from the Four Princes' Mansion gave it a try, and Sister Qin had just learned the first Dongpo elbow, and she was full of praise for Sister Qin.
"It's still Master Liu, you teach well. Our son-in-law, often mentioning you, is hungry for your cooking skills, this does not ask the prince to let me learn from you. I also expect you to teach me a few more specialty dishes, so that I can go back and cook them for my son to eat, so that my son will be happy. ”
"This is easy to say, I will teach you my housekeeping skills, and Mi Haosheng will learn from me." Chef Liu is also a cheerful person, and when he heard Sister Qin say this, he said arrogantly.
"Thank you so much, Master Liu!" Sister Qin is happy in her heart, she really hopes to learn a few good dishes, so that she can cook them for Shu Ruo to eat, which makes Shu Ruo happy.
