Chapter 18: Eat a Lotus Root Feast
Hanyue took Su Jin left and right, Su Jin felt that being rich was capricious for the first time, and repairing the courtyard was so big, you had to walk for a long time to walk, wasn't it too tiring? Su Jin walked along the way and saw a lot of exquisite pavilions, strange flowers and plants, everything. What surprised Su Jin even more was that there was actually a pond in this palace, and it was at least the size of a football field
Because it is the end of summer to autumn, there are not many lotus flowers blooming in the pond, but a gust of wind blows, and the wind is mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers. Su Jin stood by the pond, quietly looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, thinking about what to do for Zhong Liluo and Zhong Lichen, lotus, lotus root, by the way, isn't there in front of you? Now in summer, this time is the best season to eat lotus root, since there is such a big pond, let's make a meal based on lotus root, since he has made up his mind, Su Jin turned his head, touched his head embarrassedly, and looked at the cold moon
"That's... What is your name? ”
"Back to Miss Su Jin... My name is Cold Moon."
"Don't always be a girl, the girl's name, you can call me Su Jin directly, by the way, can you dig the lotus root in this pond?"
"This...."
"Can't you dig it?"
"What does Miss Su Jin want this lotus root for?"
"Of course it's cooking"
"Since Miss Su Jin wants this lotus root to cook, it can naturally be dug up, so Su Jin wait a minute, I'll call a few people to help Miss Su Jin dig the lotus root."
"Okay, then I'm sorry for you, Hanyue"
"Miss Su Jin, you're polite" Hanyue's words fell, and she turned around and left to find someone to dig the lotus root, Su Jin was fine, just walk around the pond casually, Su Jin looked at the huge pond, and couldn't figure it out, this Zhongli Luo has such a big pond to put it away, but he wants to go to the small river outside the city to take a bath
It is estimated that this is the legend, rich is capricious, there are many exquisite courtyards in the distance of the pond, and you can see the towering attic in the distance, presumably this is for Zhong Liluo's concubine, Su Jin thought secretly, saying that most of the princes written in the novel are stallions, and there are a lot of concubines, and from time to time they find fault with each other, pinch each other, tsk, Su Jin shuddered when he thought of this
This Zhong Liluo is the prince, it is estimated that there are a lot of concubines, he has lived here for a few days, Zhong Liluo's concubine must know, then he will definitely find trouble for himself, he still cooks a meal to thank him for taking care of him in the past few days, or honestly go back to his own courtyard to live, as the saying goes: gold house and silver house are not as comfortable as their own kennel
"Miss Su Jin, I found someone, but I dug it up"
"Well, good" invited the subordinates, took off their coats, only a thin layer of clothes remained, and then went into the water, now the weather is not cold, so Su Jin is not worried that the subordinates will get cold, after the subordinates went into the water, their feet were deeply trapped in the mud of the pond, according to Su Jin's instructions to dig the lotus roots, after a while, the lotus roots stained with black mud were pulled out by them, Su Jin counted the number of lotus roots dug up, felt that it was enough to cook tonight, and then raised his head
"Alright, that's enough, you can come up"
"Thank you"
"Miss Su Jin is polite, this is what we should do"
"Alright, you guys take this to the kitchen."
"It's the Cold Guard"
"Well, Cold Moon, isn't it?"
"Yes, Miss Su Jin, what do you command?"
"Since they also go to the kitchen, then I'll go with them, you go about your business"
"This..."
"It's okay, go about your business, don't worry about me"
"Okay" Han Yue saw that Su Jin insisted on not letting herself accompany her to the kitchen, so she had to nod helplessly, Su Jin saw Han Yue nodding, waved her hand to Han Yue, and then hurriedly followed the footsteps of the upper and lower people and walked to the kitchen. Su Jin followed his subordinates and went around left and right, and I don't know how long, before he got to the kitchen, Su Jin couldn't help but ask
"This... How long will it take?"
"Miss Su Jin, let's walk for a while."
"Ahh I have to go."
"How big is this palace?"
"I don't know about this, when I first came here to work, it took two days to get familiar with the palace, but there are many places I still can't tell the difference."
"What? Two days to finish? "Oh my God, how big is the place where Zhong Liluo lives, it took two days to finish, what a local tyrant. While Su Jin sighed while walking all the way, he arrived at the kitchen after a while, Su Jin looked inside through the window, and there was no one in the kitchen
"Miss Su Jin, because it's the future, the kitchen doesn't cook at this hour, so there is no cook in the kitchen" A subordinate seemed to see Su Jin's doubts
"Oh, then you help me get the lotus root in, and you can go down."
"Yes" After the next person put the lotus root away, he turned around and left the kitchen, and Su Jin was the only one left in the huge kitchen
Zhong Lichen, who was asleep on the table, woke up faintly, propped his head, rubbed his forehead, and opened his eyes dimly, it seemed that he was still too tired, and he actually fell asleep on the table, Zhong Lichen glanced at Su Jin's bed, and suddenly found that there was no one on the bed, and his originally hazy head immediately woke up, walked to Su Jin's bedside, and shook Zhong Liluo in his sleep.
"What's wrong?"
"Su Jin is gone?"
"What?" Zhong Liluo looked on the bed, and Su Jin, who was lying down, was now nowhere to be seen
"Squeak" The maid saw that there was movement in the house, pushed open the door, walked in, and saw that the six princes and their princes were full of anxiety, and hurriedly spoke
"Lord Wang, the sixth prince, are you awake?"
"Where's Miss Su Jin?" Zhong Liluo saw the maid come in, grabbed the maid, and the maid hurriedly said.
"Miss Su Jin went to the kitchen..." The two were gone.
"Lord Wang.. The Six Princes.." When the maid came back to her senses and chased out, the person was already gone
"Hey..."When Han Yue, who was carrying things, walked back again, he saw two afterimages flashing past him and running towards the kitchen, there is no doubt that this must be his own prince and the sixth prince... The bitter cold moon could only go back to the kitchen with his things again
"Miss Su Jin, there are so many ways to make this lotus root, we can only use the lotus root to stew soup, I don't know there are so many methods" A cook looked at the dishes made by Su Jin, Su Jin smiled when she heard the cook's words
"Now that you know so many methods, then you can make it for your prince to eat in the future."
"But... We're just watching, we're not going to do it."
"It's okay, as long as you have time, you can come to Zuixianlou to study, I can teach you" Su Jin put down the kitchen knife in his hand, picked up the soup spoon, stirred it into the stewed soup pot a few times, and then scooped it up and looked at it
"Drunken Immortal Building? Miss Su Jin? Could it be that you are the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, and you are also the magical chef? When the cook heard Su Jin's words, she exclaimed
"It's not as amazing as you say, I'm just a little cook, not a shopkeeper."
"Miss Su Jin, don't be modest, a few days ago, the six princes have been disclosed to everyone, everyone knows that there is a Su shopkeeper in the Zuixian Building," the cook said, turning back to the busy cook in the house and saying
"Do you think so?"
"Yes," replied the cooks in the room
"Uh..." Su Jin was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, and thought to herself: Could it be that Zhong Lichen knew about the smashing of the field, so he announced my identity in the Drunken Immortal Building?
"Miss Su Jin, our prince doesn't have a princess yet, you have to seize the opportunity" The cook looked at Su Jin with ambiguous eyes
"......." Su Jin heard the cook's words, this... The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes
"Yes, yes, the prince doesn't even have a concubine," the other cook also hurriedly said
"........" Su Jin heard the cook's words, her face turned red as soon as she "swished", how could this cook talk more and more outrageous, Zhong Liluo and Zhong Lichen ran outside the kitchen door, looked at the situation in the kitchen through the window, and saw Su Jin holding a soup spoon, blushing, looking a little overwhelmed
A maid walked out of the kitchen with a copper basin, and saw two big men secretly looking into the kitchen, but she didn't expect the two men to suddenly turn around, so frightened that the maid let go of her hand and dropped the copper basin on the ground with a "clang" sound, and looked at Zhong Liluo and the two with trepidation
"Wang. Lord, six... Prince" Su Jin heard the noise outside, walked out, and found Zhong Lichen and Zhong Liluo standing outside the kitchen door
"Hey, Zhongliluo Zhonglichen, when did you two come?"
"Just a while"
"Su Jin, you're not in good health, how can you get out of bed and walk around" A worried look flashed in Zhong Lichen's eyes
"Okay, look at it, you can move, there's nothing at all" Su Jin moved, and in order to prove that he was fine, Su Jin also jumped up and jumped a few times
"Look at it, it's totally fine"
Zhong Liluo saw Su Jin's movements and didn't know what to say at all
"Okay, I know" Zhong Lichen's eyes were full of love and pity, and he touched Su Jin's head.
"......" Su Jin raised his head and glanced at Zhong Lichen, this... How does it feel like touching a dog, phew.. Isn't this dog talking about himself, if Zhong Liluo and Zhong Lichen are not here, Su Jinfei will smoke his two big ear scrapers... It's all about something
"It's just right, you're here, I just said I'm going to call you to dinner, since you're here yourself, let's serve the food to the dining room together."
"All ready?" Zhong Liluo asked
"Hmm," Su Jin nodded
"Then let's just go to the dining room and ask them to bring it to you."
"Okay" Su Jin heard Zhong Liluo's words, took off her apron, and followed Zhong Liluo to the dining room, this time it was okay, the kitchen and the dining room were not too far apart.. After a while, I arrived. As soon as Su Jin sat down, the maid came up with the food, this speed....
"Wow, Miss Su Jin, you are so amazing, this lotus root actually has so many practices"
"It's not as powerful as you say, just a little bit more than you know"
"Miss Su Jin, can I go to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat in the future?" Cold Moon said in a flattering tone
"Yes" Su Jin nodded lightly, before Han Yue had time to cheer, Su Jin's next sentence directly knocked him into the ice cellar
"But you'll have to pay twice as much as the average person eats."
"Ahh Why" Han Yue looked at Su Jin with a puzzled face
"Because everyone knows that you are the guard of Lord Luo, is it okay to come to my drunken immortal building to eat and drink, besides, do you think you have face? I'm charging you to save face, you know."
"Hmm... Understood, then why do you charge me twice as much as ordinary people?"
"Think about it, first, you are the guard of the Luo Wangfu, the income must be higher than that of ordinary people, and second, you see that the Luo Wangfu is so big, I charge you twice the money, I also call it reasonable development of resources, and then you can eat those that can be reimbursed by your prince, which can be counted as expenses in the work, then you can find your prince for reimbursement, then it is equivalent to your prince giving you money, you eat"
"It seems like that..."Han Yue nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Su Jin seemed to be indeed like that
"Poof" Zhong Lichen had just drunk the imported tea, and when he saw Han Yue's expression, he directly squirted out, "Ahem.."
"What's wrong? Isn't that right? Seeing Zhong Lichen's expression, Han Yue opened her mouth with a confused face
"Yes, yes, that's right" Zhong Lichen stretched out his thumb and praised Han Yue while wiping his mouth
"....." Zhong Li Luo was speechless for a moment, this... If Hanyue is sold, maybe he will help him count the money, Hanmo directly don't look over, don't look at Hanyue, and silently sigh in his heart, "How can I have a younger brother like this......."
"Hanyue, I made an extra one and put it in the kitchen, thank you for helping me dig the lotus root" Su Jin's words fell, and Hanmo and Hanyue were long gone
"Su Jin, where did this lotus root come from? It tastes pretty good," Zhong Liluo picked up a piece of lotus root and put it in his mouth.
"That one was dug in the pond in your Zhongli Luo Palace, this is called local materials" Su Jin also picked up a piece of cold lotus root, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile
"Zhong Liluo, Zhong Lichen, have you taken a concubine?"
“......”
"Why did you remember to ask this question?"
"You said, you have guarded me for five days, if your concubine knows, I will die"
"You don't have to worry, stupid girl, me, my third brother and I haven't married a wife yet, how can we have a concubine?"
"That's not right! Isn't it all said in the travel novel that the prince and the six princes are stallions? How does it not match the plot, can it be said that the two of them are ugly? Nobody wants it? ”
"What a time-traveling novel"
"No.. No.. I said you two are beautiful."
"Really?"
"Uh-huh"
"Zhong Lichen hurry up and eat, you have to go back to the courtyard after eating"
"Isn't it good to live in the Luo Palace?"
"No, it's good, it's just too big... Going around, my head is dizzy, or my small courtyard is comfortable"
