The second prince's lips pursed into a line: "But you and Liao Baiwei have only been in prison together for a few days, how do you know that he is good at fighting?" ”

"Just because he's General Liao?"

Su Ziyao didn't answer directly, but turned a corner and said, "If the second emperor brother doesn't believe it, you can go and try his ability." ”

"You saved his wife, and now you should be thinking about how to repay you, if you go to invite him, he will definitely not refuse."

Although she didn't make it clear, he knew that Su Ziyao was sure of Liao Baiwei's ability.

And the grasp is not small.

The second prince: "The two countries are coming, no matter how good Liao Baiwei is, he can't stop the soldiers and horses of the two countries." ”

Su Ziyao: "Naturally, no, you still need a military advisor." ”

The second prince: "Military advisor? Could it be that you already have a candidate in mind? ”

Su Ziyao: "Well, do you remember the second emperor brother, the scholar who has been with me in the past?" ”

Scholar?

The second prince thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was such a person.

Su Ziyao's scholar was directly selected by herself from the guards, and this matter also caused a lot of controversy back then.

Could it be ...... "He's what you call a military advisor?" ”

But a scholar, who has never been to the battlefield and has no experience, how can he take on the role of military advisor?

It's just nonsense.

Although the second prince didn't want to question Su Ziyao, he still asked euphemistically:

"Ziyao, this matter ...... Wouldn't it be inappropriate? ”

Su Ziyao: "He is familiar with the art of war, although he has no actual combat experience, but I think he should be able to adapt to the battlefield soon." ”

"In the country of Weisha, there is no one more suitable to be this military advisor than him."

After all, the second prince still felt that it was not appropriate, but he didn't say anything more:

"What about the rest? Even if there are them, the strength of the Wei Cha Kingdom is really not strong, so it is probably not possible to resist thousands of troops and horses. ”

Su Ziyao nodded: "After the soldiers and horses of Qi Shouguo are forced in, you come to pick me up, I have my own way." ”

The second prince also wanted to ask Su Ziyao what he wanted to do.

But seeing that Su Ziyao didn't want to say more, he didn't ask again, just continued to eat the cake.

Su Ziyao looked at the empty plate and couldn't help but say:

"Second Emperor Brother, do you know that you are eating Xiaohe's cake."

The second prince: "Who is Xiaohe?" ”

Su Ziyao: "The maid next to me." ”

The second prince raised his eyebrows: "She can eat, I can't eat it?" ”

"Speaking of which, what is this bread called?"

Su Ziyao: "Crispy cakes, do you like the second emperor?" ”

The second prince nodded: "It's delicious, the chef who made this cake has good skills." ”

Su Ziyao only smiled, but did not speak.

After the second prince left, he immediately sent someone to investigate the master of Dali Temple who would make crispy cakes.

But when the spy came back, he said that the person who made the cake was Su Ziyao.

"What did you just say? You repeat, who is the one who makes the shortbread? ”

The spy lowered his head: "If you go back to the prince, it's the princess." ”

"I heard that many people in Dali Temple have seen it, and it was cooked by the princess herself."

The second prince's eyes were dark, but he waved his hand to let the spies retreat.

Su Ziyao can be regarded as the one he grew up watching.

But as far as he knew, Su Ziyao didn't know how to cook at all.

Not to mention cooking, even the kitchen, she has never been there.

And who is this bread-maker?

Don't...... The person he saw today was not Su Ziyao?

The emotions on the second prince's face were unclear.

If she wasn't Su Ziyao, who was she?

Let him usurp the throne, do you really want the Weisha Kingdom to be restored, or do you want the Weisha Kingdom to completely perish?

His mind was in a mess.

No matter what, he's going to get to the bottom of it!

……

On the second day, Su Ziyao got up before dawn and went to the kitchen.

At that time, the other cooks and masters were already waiting for her.

"Princess St. Ann'......"

When they saw her coming, they all bowed their heads and knelt down.

Su Ziyao: "Get up, this is not the palace, there is no need for so much red tape." ”

"Knead the dough first."

Under her teaching, the crowd kneaded a large bucket of dough with crushed corn and chaff, for fear that they would not have enough to eat.

"You see, although the pot is heated everywhere, the temperature around it is not the same, so you must control the heat of all the heated surfaces."

"Whether it's a little bit out of heat or a little bit too hot, this shortbread won't be too tasty."

Everyone stared intently at Su Ziyao's hand, for fear of missing a detail.

Su Ziyao's hands are very white and tender, every time she puts the cake in the pot, everyone will gasp, for fear of burning such a delicate hand.

But Su Ziyao's hands are extremely dexterous, taking and putting away, and she is capable and skilled, which is admirable.

After Su Ziyao finished baking a pot of crispy cakes, everyone let Su Ziyao rest on the side and change them.

Su Ziyao didn't fight to do it, but stepped aside and wiped the oil stains on her hands:

"They may not have enough to eat with bread alone, and they will have to make something else."

There are only four stoves, and at most only a few cooks and masters can be done, so Su Ziyao asked the rest of the chefs and cooks to wash a few handfuls of green beans that are common in winter.

Green beans are easy to regenerate, and they grow thick one by one, but now they are old, and the tendons are difficult to bite and the taste is not good.

But in winter, in addition to green beans, there are only cabbage, so in the end, everyone is disgusted when they hear fried green beans and cabbage.

"Green beans are available, but what are they washed for?"

"I eat fried green beans and cabbage at noon and night, and now I also eat green beans in the morning.

An old man with a dialect accent said.

Su Ziyao smiled: "Don't worry, they won't make trouble." ”

Hearing Su Ziyao say this, the old man just shook his head, obviously not believing her words, and looked at her helplessly:

"Hey, the dolls in the palace are like this, they don't know anything, and they don't listen to what they say."

made Su Ziyao cry and laugh.

After the green beans were washed, Su Ziyao cut the green beans into small pieces and put them in the pot.

Boiling with the corn paste and bran noodles in the pot, it gives off a smell of green vegetables at first, and then a smell of aroma comes out.

The cook and the master who fried the shortbread looked at this side with some shock:

"What are you doing? Why is it so fragrant? ”

Old man: "What else can I get, isn't it just porridge?" ”

"But it's weird, I put some green beans, and the taste is really different, I thought it would be a cross-flavor."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Su Ziyao with some surprise.

A princess deserves to be a princess, no matter what she does, she is the best.

The guards who were exercising in the morning outside smelled the aroma and couldn't help but look inside, but because of the presence of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, they didn't dare to make a sound.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple went back yesterday, but he got up early this morning and insisted on coming to Dali Temple.

made his wife think that he had another concubine outside, and he didn't coax him no matter how much he coaxed him.

I can't say it's for a shortbread.

Even if his wife believes it, he is embarrassed to say it directly.

The pot is very large, and the cooks know better than her how to control the gaps in the pan, and at a glance, the cauldron is full of cakes.

They move very quickly and have a very good grasp of the heat.

So after a pot came down, it was almost half more than her, and I had to ask Su Ziyao to admire.

Sure enough, there is still a specialization in the art industry.

Coupled with the fire of Xiaosi, the cake burned quickly.

A large pot of dough is instantly reduced to a small lump.

When the porridge was boiled, the cake was almost baked.

Su Ziyao opened the porridge and added some salt to it.

The salt taste is very light, and you can't eat it if you don't taste it carefully.

Even if she only put a little salt, the chef next to her still looked at her with a look of a loser.

You must know that fine salt is expensive in Weisha.

Su Ziyao took out a small bowl, scooped up a small scoop with a spoon and put it into the bowl, and tasted a small bite.

"Hmm...... The taste is OK, let's get out of the pot. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two cooks came over and lifted the pot together and brought it to the table.

It is said to be a platform, but it is just a height cushioned with bricks, just enough to reach the position in front of the chest, which is convenient for cooking.

They quickly opened the lid and set it aside.

The heat hit the face, and the aroma spread from the window to the outside.

The guards who practiced in the morning didn't have much heart to practice, and when they smelled this smell, they didn't have the slightest motivation.

"My lord......" One of the most noisy guards on weekdays began, "My lord, I think it's time to eat......"

Shaoqing of Dali Temple has never left the stove in the kitchen, where does he not know that the shortbread and porridge have been ready.

But he swallowed his saliva, held back his hungry stomach, and turned his head to look like a calm saint:

"What do you look like yourself, it's almost to the jaw, is it a shame?"

"Just walk out with your appearance, say that it is our people from Dali Temple, do the people still dare to believe us?!"

His tone was sharp and straightforward, and if he hadn't kept glancing at the window, they would have almost believed it.

On weekdays, Shaoqing of Dali Temple thinks that the food in Dali Temple is not delicious, and he usually comes after eating at home.

came over so early today, who didn't know that he was just greedy for this mouthful of food, and he said it so high-soundingly, and he was really shameless.

Although I thought so in my heart, I smiled flatteringly on my face:

"Your Excellency is right, we are not hungry, not hungry at all......"

The cook and the chefs also carried the shortbread to the window, and after getting Su Ziyao's signal, they poked their heads out of the window and roared:

"It's time to eat!"

Everyone almost cheered and jumped up, but Shaoqing of Dali Temple did not speak, and everyone did not dare to move.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple shook his shoulders, pretended to be unintentional and walked to the window, took out a large bowl from his arms, and handed it to the cook:

"Filled."

The cook smiled: "In the past, it was said that adults ate less, but today I realized that adults have such a big appetite." ”

Everyone held back a low laugh.

Su Ziyao saw that she had nothing to do, so she lifted her skirt and walked out, and Xiaohe followed behind with cakes and porridge.

She was afraid that the second prince would come again today, so she made a special trip to get a few more bowls.
