Liu Xin'er and Ruan Bai distributed dishes and chopsticks to the guests, and the guests took turns lining up to go to the stage to pick up the food.

There are not many seats, it is crowded, fortunately, the guests on the first floor and in the courtyard are affectionate, and some of them also consciously take the meal to squat on the street outside to eat, and for a time the neighborhood is like a family, talking and laughing and gathering in groups.

As for the nobles in the five second-floor wings, they are not among them, since there are two chefs who make dishes separately and send them in, they can't ask the nobles to crowd the people below.

Although Uncle Hua's hostility to the palace has decreased a lot these days, he also doesn't want to have anything to do with it, and Ruan Mianmian is also worried that Uncle Hua's craftsmanship will be noticed by the emperor, so he specially asked Wang Xun to cook a meal for this room, and quietly told him that this meal is a bright future, and there are thousands of possibilities.

Wang Xun knew that the distinguished guests inside were not small, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he took out the skills of housekeeping, and carefully made a few Jiangnan dishes, spinach bacon fried bamboo shoots, jade ice cream, salted egg yolk Qingtuan, and a plate of more than a dozen kinds of Jiangnan pastries. The presentation is also exquisite, the radish is carved into the shape of a phoenix, spreading its wings and ready to fly, the bamboo shoots are dotted with spinach to become a proud and upright jade bamboo map, and the clear chicken soup is used as the river water below, which blends the delicate Jiangnan and the dishes of the Jiangnan together, complements each other, and has a unique flavor.

Ruan Mianmian personally served these dishes, and Tingting went upstairs to the middle of the room, her fingers knocked lightly on the door, and it was still Princess Fangyan who jumped to open the door, but stopped when she saw the dishes in Ruan Mianmian's hand, and gave way to her with some caution, these dishes are so exquisite, Ruan Mianmian can only hold two arms at the same time smoothly, and the beautiful scenery on the plate created by Chef Wang is about to collapse, so naturally you have to be careful.

Ruan Mianmian put the tray on the table, breathed a long sigh of relief, and saluted: "Ruliang greets Your Majesty and Concubine Lan, this is a lunch presented by Chef Wang Xun, although it is coarse, it is elegant, it is quite Jiangnan eBay, please taste it." ”

After saying that, Ruan Mianmian took a step back, took the wine jug and raised his hand to press the cuffs to pour wine for the emperor and the concubine, and quietly observed the expressions of the two.

The emperor has never left the tray in her hand since Ruan Mianmian came in, and at this moment, he brought the spinach bacon fried bamboo shoots to the front with both hands, and admired it carefully while turning the direction, and couldn't stop praising it: "I heard Ruqing say that you have a Jiangnan chef with good craftsmanship, but I didn't expect to have such thoughts, it is really rare, and it is also worthy of working in your Yipinxiang." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, look at the winged phoenix carved from this whole radish, but the palm is high, but even the dew drops at the end of the tail feathers are clear and detailed, ingenious, and the overall posture and movement are even more like the shadow of Mr. Wu Daozi's painting hanging in your imperial study, the clothes are fluttering, and there is no wind automatic." Seeing that the emperor liked it, Concubine Lan couldn't help but cater to a few words that obeyed his heart, so that he would know that he and he had a heart.

"Father often said that the craftsmen of the world all follow the rules, strictly fit, only for practicality, the world's talents, and they are all sour and vulgar, blindly preference for artistic conception but more secular, in Fang Yan's view, this Wang Chef is both the craftsman's wonderful kung fu, and countless surging talents, just two of them all, is a strange person." Fang Yan sat between the two, her legs were not enough to step on the ground, dangling with her skirt, shaking her head and saying.

"What Xiao Fangyan said is still reasonable, in this case, I will be the unscrupulous bully once, use power to suppress you once, after today's game, let Wang Xun go back to the palace with us, and make a few Jiangnan dishes for the Queen Mother to try, and then you can also compete with the self-contained imperial chefs in the imperial dining room, so that they can know what it means to be outside the world." The emperor picked up his chopsticks, added a piece of bamboo shoot, put it in his mouth, and then chewed it twice with some surprise.

He usually eats Jiangnan-style dishes made by the chefs in the palace, but he doesn't overemphasize the lightness of the Jiangnan diet and lacks taste, but it is bland and boring, or according to the northern practice, the originally good ingredients are made too heavy with oil and salt, and he can't eat a little fresh, which is no different from northern cuisine. At this moment, eating Wang Xun's fried bamboo shoots made the emperor feel that it was refreshing like never before, and it turned out that a dish could have both fresh fragrance and freshness.

Just like this fried bacon with bamboo shoots, others will put the bacon on the main position, thinking that as long as the meat is oily enough to think, the bamboo shoots are just to add a little color to get greasy, at most the taste is richer, but the bamboo shoots made by Wang Xun's hands seem to have the fragrance of some flowers and young leaves in the bamboo forest, and eat a piece of bamboo shoots as if they smell the aroma of the soil after the rain when it breaks the ground, and then eat bacon, although the oil is bright and transparent, but the taste is not too heavy, but it is stained with the light of the bamboo shoots.

Ruan Mianmian heard that the emperor liked Wang Xun very much, and her heart was also happy, after all, before he came, he promised him to go to the imperial dining room to observe the competition as the county lord, and now he can be regarded as fulfilling his promise, and she has this confidence, even if Wang Xun is called into the palace to live for a few days, he will not stay, and those who have stayed in Yipinxiang will regard Yipinxiang as their home, how can anyone have a home and not go back to the golden cage to join in the fun.

Ruan Mianmian thanked Wang Xun for his kindness, and then said that he would not disturb their meal, and then gave Jiang Xinyue on the side a look, asking her to say more good things, and the two of them smiled, so she retreated and closed the door again.

As for the guests in the other side rooms, she didn't have to go to serve the tea and pour the water in person, she didn't want to deal with others anymore, asked the time, there was still half an hour, and then she waved off the person and returned to her room by hammering her waist, thinking that the hour was still early, it was better to take a nap, and she specially found a little girl from the Hou Mansion of Anyang, called Yingzi, and came in to remind her when it was time.

Ruan Mianmian lay on the table, and began to close his eyes in a daze, his eyelashes fluttered gently from time to time, and sometimes scratched the back of his ears, and it didn't take long for him to look asleep, and his little face was flushed and pitiful.

I don't know how long it took, although Ruan Mianmian was sleepy on her stomach, but because there were too many people outside, the noisy sound made her unable to really sleep. Suddenly, I heard a "squeak" sound of the door opening and closing, and I was thinking about whether it was time for Yingzi to come and wake him up, but I didn't hear the sound that should have sounded, and my heart suddenly became alert, and I straightened up and opened my eyes, and saw that there was no Yingzi in the room, but there was a little girl I didn't know.

She is really dressed up a little gorgeous, with a satin-like bun obliquely combed on her head, a pink peony in full bloom inserted in her sideburns, her red lips are full of smoke, and her clothes are also cheesy and gorgeous.

Although she was very unhappy that the girl entered her room without knocking, she still had to take into account her identity and today's occasion, so she put on a superficial smile and asked, "Does the girl know me, did she go to the wrong room?" ”

The girl smiled, and didn't need Ruan Mianmian to ask, she just twisted her waist and sat opposite Ruan Mianmian in an exaggerated manner, crossed one leg on the other, and leaned on the table softly, as if leaning on a man's arms: "Miss Ruan, I have admired my name for a long time, but it's a pity... From now on, this name became infamy. With that, she picked at the corners of her eyes with her fingernails dyed red Kodan, as if she wanted to see Ruan Mianmian in her bones.

"This sister said with a smile, I am a fragrant eater, the current lord of Ruliang County, you say that I am infamy, don't you want Your Majesty to be infamy, the people behind you can afford such consequences?" Ruan Mianmian's expression froze, and he restrained his smile.

The woman in front of her didn't seem to care, and got up and looked at her lightly: "You don't have to worry about other things, I'm here this time just to be with you... Spend the night together. ”

After that, the fireworks woman dismantled the hairpin ring on her head, and her hair immediately fell like an ink painting, and then, the complicated petals fell to the ground layer by layer, silk and satin, fragrant powder and jade, Ruan Mianmian was stunned when she saw it, and forgot to take action for a while.

The woman seemed to be nothing, only a white undershirt as thin as a cicada's wings remained, and she was about to get close to Ruan Mianmian, Ruan Mianmian had two red clouds on her face, her eyes were not closed or closed, she was forced to the door at a loss, leaning on the door panel, and behind her were two doors that opened with a push, of course she could open the door immediately and run out, but if she opened the door, wouldn't the situation in this room be...

Ruan Mianmian shook his head quickly, looked at the eyes in front of him with a fluttering look, and forced a calm look: "You... You quickly put on your coat, if you have something to say, I haven't even been able to do it, and I don't love this, you're looking for the wrong person. ”

"I'm not looking for the wrong person, you don't know me, I've heard your name a long time ago, it's famous, Ruan Mianmian." The woman was still not afraid, but still walked towards her, convinced that she was thin-skinned and would not open the door.

Ruan Mianmian was anxious, turned his head and saw the blue gauze curtains hanging by the window, and he didn't care if it was worth it, so he immediately jumped over the woman, raised his hand and pulled it, the curtain was torn down and just covered the woman's face, I saw her subconsciously catch it, Ruan Mianmian ran quickly and ran around the woman several times, and kept wrapping her like a cocoon that couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south, so she wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, detoured to the back and tied a knot with the curtains.

The woman seemed to be very angry, she couldn't stop snorting, her body shook back and forth in an attempt to break free, but she couldn't stabilize her center of gravity and fell to the ground, making a muffled sound, Ruan Mianmian, who was watching, took a step back, swallowed her saliva, and thought that this fall was not light.
