Chapter 221: Pandering

When the dishes were served, Hua Lian and Murong Qingmo finally came back. Several people sat down around a round table. Gao Erli has collected a lot of good things, and this pear blossom wood round table is also worthy of the identity of several people.

Qian Feiyue and they let Hua Zhuo and Murong Qingmo sit on the top, and the two sat down side by side. Hua Lian was deliberately squeezed by them and Hua Zhuo, and sat next to Murong Qingmo.

Hua looked at Qianmo and Qian Scarlet Moon aggrievedly, but they ignored them. However, Murong Qingmo's face turned slightly red and acquiesced. It's just that when she lifted the chopsticks, she couldn't help frowning.

The food on Saltpeter Island is actually not bad, but Aunt Sun, who cooks vegetables, is just an ordinary peasant woman, where does she know what to place and match colors. It is cooking hundreds of people's dishes, and it must be how convenient and quick it is, so what is served on the table is a bowl of home-cooked food full of bowls.

Grilled fish with charcoal, stir-fried amaranth, cold salad, stir-fried meat with fungus, steamed clams, steamed razor clams, steamed salted dried fish...... The dishes on the table are the most common dishes in Liudu, and they are also what Aunt Sun is good at. So if you don't care about the rough appearance, it actually tastes very good.

Especially a few steamed seafood, the heat and time are in place. The meat is plump, tender and refreshing, and it is dipped in rice vinegar to eat, and when you bite into it, your mouth is full of umami.

"Hmmβ€”it's delicious!" Hua Lian ate several razor clams, squinting her eyes and admiring again and again.

Hua Zhuo is not gobbling up like Hua Lian, but it is also non-stop with chopsticks. The last time he ate this kind of seafood at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he felt that although the imperial dining room was exquisite, it lacked an original flavor. What I ate today is obviously much fresher and more delicious. In particular, it has a bit of the fishy smell of seawater, which makes the umami of the seafood even stronger.

Josie watched them eat with relish, licking her tongue as she spoke. He and Yun Yi had just taken turns to eat first, but now that he saw the seafood, he remembered the delicacy just now, and his saliva involuntarily ran out again. There is also the grilled fish covered with green and red peppers in the middle, which he tasted last time when he accompanied the second master, it was fresh and spicy, and it was still unfinished......

"Hmm!" Yoon-yi glared at Josie as her eyes widened and she swallowed her saliva.

Josie flattened her mouth and closed it slightly, but her eyes still couldn't leave the food.

"Brother, if you want to taste this grilled fish, it's the best in the world!" Hua Lian chewed and pointed to the grilled fish on the big plate and said, "It's the first time you come, I won't rob you." ”

"Oh? Then I'll try! "It's the first time I've seen a fish in such an iron plate, all spread out in two flats. There is also a charcoal fire burning under the iron plate, which exudes a warm heat.

"Hiss......" Hua Zhuo tasted it, and was stimulated by the spicy taste and couldn't help hissing, and after hissing, his eyes lit up instantly. The first bite is spicy and exciting, followed by a fresh aroma with a crunchy and soft texture. In Yanxi, he also often eats grilled food, but it is all meat. I didn't expect the fish to be grilled, and it also had a unique taste.

Several people kept their chopsticks, and only the slight sound of clashing dishes and chopsticks was left on the table.

However, at this moment, an inopportune "boom" sound came, and everyone looked up from the bowl and found that Murong Qingmo's face was actually covered with tears.

"Sister Qingmo, ...... you" Hua Zhuo was still enjoying the taste stimulation brought by the grilled fish, and when he looked up, he thought she was crying because of the spicy, this fish is really spicy! He also endured it so that he didn't keep making a "hissing" sound. It was only when he saw Murong Qingmo's spotless dishes and chopsticks that he noticed that she hadn't eaten anything.

Hua Zhuo swallowed the fish in his mouth, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. He wanted to say something, but finally turned his head to Hua Lian and gave him several looks. However, Hua Lian only cared about lowering her head and instigating the seafood, and didn't care about his eyes at all.

"Hmm......" Murong Qingmo had already whimpered, and Qian Feiyue and they all raised their heads and looked at her with a look of grievance with pear blossoms and rain.

"Gong ...... Miss! The maid in the back stood up, waiting for Qian Feiyue and Qianmo with angry eyes, "It's all ......" It's just that when she felt the gaze of the eldest prince next to her, the reproach that was about to rush out of her mouth softened her tone, "These are all sea fish, I'm afraid Miss can't get used to it, are there any other dishes?" ”

"Huh?" Hua Lian bit down on a flower clam and tilted her head and asked, "Didn't you say last time that the seafood sent by Ryudu was delicious?" ”

Murong Qingmo was choked by the flowers, and her crying was stagnant. The maidservant behind her rolled her eyes in her heart, last time it was carefully cooked in the imperial dining room, how can it be like now, with those country people from a bowl of vegetables.

It's just that Hua Ershao is the princess's sweetheart, so she naturally can't refute directly: "Second son, you know Miss's dining habits, this is ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it. ”

Hua Lian's face was also a little embarrassed after hearing this, he knew that Qingmo had been pampered since she was a child in the palace, but the food outside was like this, "I told you earlier, the outside is not as good as you think, ......"

Hua Zhuo secretly kicked Hua Lian, looked at Murong Qingmo's aggrieved biting and lip biting, and smiled awkwardly at Qian Feiyue: "Qianyue, or ......"

"There's nothing else on the island." Qianmo's face remained unchanged, he didn't want Qianyue to cater to their princess for his own sake.

Hua Zhuo's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled and asked, "Then do you still have these ingredients?" I'd like to ask the cook to help make another one, no more, just two dishes and one soup. ”

Qian Feiyue held down Qian Mo and nodded with a smile: "Brother Hua, wait a minute." She gave Jiuqing a look, and Jiuqing nodded and left. Qian Feiyue said to Murong Qingmo's maid again: "Miss Mu's dishes and chopsticks must have been prepared by the girl, so you might as well take them to the kitchen." ”

The maidservant glanced at her princess, and saw that she had no objection, so she retreated. They did bring some utensils, as well as some precious ingredients from the capital. The queen was afraid that the princess would not be used to eating outside, but she still used it. I just don't know if the people in this place will burn it.

By the time the second table came up, they had already finished eating. The dishes that came up this time were a lot more exquisite, in fact, the plate was better-looking, the amount was less, and there was an extra dish of clear soup lion's mane mushrooms and a stewed snow clam paste.

When Murong Qingmo saw these dishes, she raised her head, nodded at Hua Zhuo with some embarrassment, and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Hua!" ”

Jiuqing pulled Shiqiao out, he was afraid that Shiqiao would see such a bad teaching.

The others sat and watched as she chewed slowly and ate the lion's mane mushroom and snow clam paste by herself, but the other dishes were no longer touched.

Qian Feiyue looked at her raising her handkerchief to cover her lips and gently wiping it, and couldn't help but think of the days when she was in that high-gate compound, learning her words and deeds with Mama Xi. At that time, he must have been Murong Qingmo's current appearance......
