Chapter 118: The Smell of Vinegar in the Air

"Below is the imperial chef in the palace, surnamed Zhao, who came to discuss with the princess about cooking for King Xuan at the invitation of King Qi, and I don't know what advice the princess has."

Zhao Baixiang said polite words, but in fact, he had already taken a small step back secretly, planning that if Princess Qi did it directly, he would run out as fast as possible! The fastest speed!

However, unexpectedly, Ding Weilan just glanced at him when he heard his words, and there was still that inexplicable smile on his face, that smile was not friendly when he said that he was friendly, let alone sarcastic, but it just gave people a kind of coolness, Zhao Baixiang swallowed his saliva, and the plan in his heart began to waver, or he would not be polite and run away, King Qi had already run away, and there was no need for him to stay here as a guest.

Thinking like this, Zhao Baixiang was about to step out when Ding Weilan suddenly opened his mouth.

"Please come in!"

"Huh?" Zhao Baixiang was stunned for a moment, and saw Ding Weilan stretching out his hand and pointing in a convenient direction, "You let me in?" ”

"Please come in." Ding Weilan said it again, and after speaking, she took the lead in front.

Zhao Baixiang was messy in the back for a while, and suddenly figured out something, this Princess Qi didn't say that she wanted to beat him at all, her subordinates just said that the scraps were all some ruffians and hooligans, or murdered his husband, he was not a ruffian and not his husband, what was there to be afraid of!

Thinking of this, Zhao Baixiang had confidence, and followed without much hesitation.

When he came to the house, Zhao Baixiang felt that the atmosphere inside was a little unusual, and most people greeted guests in the front hall, why did this princess invite him directly to the bedroom? And the bedroom seems to be too clean, there are no toiletries for ordinary women, only a square table at the base of the wall is placed on a bunch of bottles and cans, all kinds of strange shapes, at first glance are small daggers with different uses, and then there are usually rare bows and crossbows flying needles or something.

Zhao Baixiang felt a cool air swishing behind him, what hobbies does this princess usually have, how do she like to collect these things? So much so that he looked at the chair in front of him and felt like a tiger chair in a prison, he swallowed his saliva, tried it twice with his hands, and when he saw that there was no mechanism, he sat down with some anxiety.

"Uh...... I have heard King Qi say that the princess made a special trip to inquire about King Xuan's preferences, and she really had a heart, but since we are looking for something fresh for King Xuan, we naturally want to make something that he has not eaten. The princess said that she has been working in the palace for more than 30 years, and she has studied all the dishes of the Water Moon Kingdom, including some folk home-cooked dishes. After King Qi found Shang Zaixia, Zai Xia had already drawn up a menu, these dishes have their own fixed practices, if they are rashly modified, I am afraid that they will lose their original taste. ”

Zhao Baixiang admitted that he was indeed frightened, if he said it according to his habitual words, where would he be so long-winded for a long time, just two words: don't change! Why should Lao Tzu's recipes listen to the fingers of a woman's Taoist family?

Ding Weilan looked easy to speak, nodded in understanding, and did not say anything to refute, but got up and lit a piece of incense, and after a while, a faint aroma wafted from the room, Ding Weilan then came back and sat down, and smiled at Zhao Baixiang, "You go on." ”

Zhao Baixiang felt a little more steady, he was surprised that Ding Weilan was so obedient, he was ready to quarrel, since this is the case, everything is easy to say.

Zhao Baixiang relaxed, crossed his legs together, and raised his head, "And on weekdays, I am mainly responsible for the meals of the emperor and the ladies of the harem, although there are many people, but everyone knows what their appetite preferences are, and they all know what their subordinates are, and the princess specially called them over, which is really a superfluous move." ”

Ding Weilan fiddled with the good-looking pastries in her hand, and finally asked, "Imperial Chef Zhao has ever seen Uncle Huang." ”

Zhao Baixiang "cut", "This King Xuan came uninvited for the first time, and he has never entered the palace since then, where is there any chance to see him?"

Ding Weilan let out a meaningful "oh", and pushed the pastry in his hand in the direction of Zhao Baixiang, "It's rare for Imperial Chef Zhao to come to me to listen to Yuxuan, I made it myself, and I asked Imperial Chef Zhao for advice." ”

Ding Weilan's attitude became more and more polite, so polite that Zhao Baixiang even forgot the fear just now, so his head was raised higher and higher, and he returned to the state of nostrils facing the sky, he stretched out his hand and pinched a small piece, looked at the color, there was no expression on his face, and after looking at it for a while, he put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed slowly for a while, but his brows immediately wrinkled.

"This pastry tastes good, but it feels weird."

"But too dry? Drink some more water. Ding Weilan handed over the teacup in front of him again, Zhao Baixiang didn't react to what that weird feeling was, and when he heard Ding Weilan say this, he also felt that it was a dry feeling, so he drank the tea without thinking too much.

"Well, this tea is okay."

"What is it in the palace, how bad can it be, don't you say?"

Zhao Baixiang didn't understand Ding Weilan's hint, and nodded lightly.

"Listening to Imperial Chef Zhao's meaning, I'm afraid I'm going to invite you to come for nothing."

Zhao Baixiang waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, after all, the princess has lived in the palace for a long time, and it is understandable that some things can't be considered." ”

The smile on the corner of Ding Weilan's mouth became brighter and brighter, "At first glance, Imperial Chef Zhao is a good talker, in fact, I invited you to come, of course, I don't want to modify your recipes without knowing the sky, but I just want to ask for advice on some cooking matters." ”

"That's right." Zhao Baixiang leaned back in the chair, "It's easy to say, if the princess has any questions, just mention it." ”

"There are a lot of questions to ask, I've already written them down, you sit down first, I'll look for them."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......" Zhao Baixiang was very helpful to Ding Weilan's flattering tone, nodded, and saw Ding Weilan smiling mysteriously at him, and then walked out of the room quickly, I don't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that Ding Weilan's smile was bad.

This feeling was even stronger until he heard the sound of a "pop" outside.

Why did you lock the door? Zhao Baixiang was puzzled, so he wanted to shout, but he used a little strength, but he didn't make a sound at all.

The expression on his face stiffened suddenly, he reached out and touched his throat, and tried hard with his mouth open for a long time, but still no sound came out at all.

His eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered the strange feeling when he ate that piece of pastry just now, and suddenly understood something, and suddenly turned around again, and found that this furnishing, this arrangement, this furnishing, although it was a woman's bedroom on the surface, was clearly arranged according to the prison cell!

All of a sudden, the scene when he just entered the door appeared in front of him again, he was wrong! This princess didn't want to beat him, she wanted to kill him directly, right?

Help me!

Zhao Baixiang shouted in his heart, but still didn't make any sound.

On the other side, Ding Weilan locked the door tightly, turned his head and went to ask Mo Ling Fengxing for his guilt.

"This is the person you're looking for?"

"What?"

Mo Lingfeng had already listened to Lin Zhong explain Ding Weilan's calculations, although he felt a little messy, but after all, it was for the emperor's uncle, so he acquiesced, at this moment he should be in the same camp as Ding Weilan, who would have thought that Ding Weilan would drop such a sentence as soon as he came over, which made him inexplicable.

Ding Weilan pointed to the direction of his room and began to count Zhao Baixiang's crimes, "Arrogant, no one in his eyes, disrespectful to Uncle Huang, I don't mean to listen to my opinion at all, such a person cooks for Uncle Huang, it's not bad if you don't offend people." ”

Mo Lingfeng frowned, "This king has already said that Imperial Chef Zhao has been in the palace for many years, so he naturally has some arrogance. ”

"Arrogance?" Ding Weilan sneered, "I'm going to grind him today." ”

The smile on her face was not the same as before, not that kind of simple anger, but with a blatant conspiracy, and everyone present was stunned except for Mo Lingfeng.

The princess (miss) is so handsome!

"It's up to you."

Perhaps out of a sense of compensation, Mo Lingfeng felt that he had recently spent his days with Mengying absurdly and ignored this matter, and he was really a little guilty, so he didn't mind Ding Weilan making a fuss, he could solve it if something happened.

Mo Lingfeng thought that he was thinking about Ding Weilan, who knew that Ding Weilan didn't know his thoughts at all, but he was still immersed in the arrogant picture of Zhao Baixiang just now, and he felt a little angry in his heart, so he didn't speak very politely.

"Since you have agreed to find someone, then find a reliable one, in the end I have to worry about it, if it is not in line with the emperor's uncle's wishes, it is your fault."

Mo Lingfeng glanced up at Ding Weilan, it was obvious that she was the one who was drunk and flirting with Uncle Huang, how could she be embarrassed to teach people here?

"You don't covet Uncle Huang's handsomeness, and there won't be such a thing?" Mo Lingfeng was not to be outdone.

Ding Weilan was poked in the sore spot, her face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry or shy.

"Even if this matter is my fault, you can't find someone who doesn't have any reverence for the imperial uncle, right? You see the tone of his voice just now, he didn't take Uncle Huang seriously at all, I think he doesn't pay attention to this matter at all, and I don't know if it will be perfunctory, this is a matter of attitude, Uncle Huang is not a fool, he can feel whether we have any intentions. ”

Mo Lingfeng stared at Ding Weilan, and when he saw that she didn't leave the imperial uncle in three words, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. He didn't just find someone to come over, he also found a lot of cooks, the famous restaurants in the imperial city include Fengmanlou, Drunken Immortal Residence, and even Liu Ji, who had just emerged in the imperial city two years ago, he went to investigate, but those cooks were either too vulgar or they were so frightened that they refused directly when they heard that they were cooking for King Xuan, who had just returned to the dynasty.

Although he has slackened a little in the past two days, he has done everything he needs to do. Now that Ding Weilan is talking to him like this for the emperor's uncle, Mo Lingfeng's face gradually turned cold.

"If you are dissatisfied with the people that this king is looking for, just send them away and go to King Xuan's Mansion to cook by yourself."

"What do you mean by that?" Is it true that she is telling the truth? It's just that the tone is not very good, what is this man angry about?

"The king's meaning couldn't be clearer, if you go, you don't have to come back!"

Anyway, she likes Uncle Huang, so let her stay there all the time, this heartless woman.

"Hey, I'm just telling you about the person you're looking for, and it's not aimed at you, why are you acting like you've taken gunpowder?"

"Humph!" Mo Lingfeng was reluctant to deal with Ding Weilan, so he flicked his sleeves and left, and Qing Ying and the others, who stayed in place, looked at the direction Mo Lingfeng left, glanced at each other, and they all had a very bold idea.

There seems to be a smell of vinegar in the air......

As soon as Mo Lingfeng went back, he locked himself in the study, and no one was allowed to enter, and two people who came to knock on the door without knowing anything were scolded by Mo Lingfeng.

The latter took a closed door from Mo Lingfeng, turned around and went to report to Ding Weilan again.

"Princess, people still don't come out."

The corners of Ding Weilan's mouth twitched, how old is he still using this kind of old-fashioned tricks, is it naΓ―ve?
