Mu Ruqing shook her head and signaled her to relax: "No, as long as she takes care of it properly, there will be no more problems, but she will not be able to make waves like today in the future, if she has a stroke, her hands and feet will tremble and her body will be uncontrollable, and she will not be able to move her body or even her expression will be uncontrollable, and her speech will be a problem, and the rest of her life will be in bed." ”

"It's sad, but I don't feel sorry for her. If she hadn't had that kind of mind that she shouldn't have today, and came to us for trouble, there wouldn't be such a thing as now. Ruan Mianmian completely relieved his heart, and then said: "Brother Mu, don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble for you in the past two days, and stay at home honestly." ”

Mu Ruqing smiled so much that two drops of tea in his hand were spilled: "Why are you so obedient, I don't feel comfortable." ”

Everyone was talking and laughing, and a little girl came to report that King Ying and Princess Zhuen had already ridden to the door and were coming to the courtyard, and Mu Ruqing and they naturally went out.

The sky was dim blue, not very bright, but fortunately, it was quiet and far away, like an upside-down lake, and the twinkling stars were ripples. This dinner was set up in the courtyard of Yipinxiang, and the competition table and all kinds of miscellaneous items in the daytime had all disappeared, only a large square table and benches on all sides, and a few lanterns were placed around, which was bright enough.

Princess Zhuen calmly held Lu Gui's hand and stood beside him, wearing a long silk skirt of Dai color, different from the popular styles in the capital, the design of the whole skirt was very bold, the sleeves from the shoulders to the arms were long light gauze, the ivory arms were looming, the golden hair was casually draped behind him, and the soft fabric on the body was spread down layer by layer.

What's even more peculiar is that the side of her skirt is split from the root of the thigh, but inside is the same layer of light gauze as on the sleeve, so as not to expose the legs, but when she moves, it is brilliant, just like the scene in the sky tonight, lively and charming.

After experiencing so many things in Ruliang City, the relationship between Zhu En and Yipinxiang is already very good, at this time, when she saw Ruan Mianmian, she immediately let go of Lu Gui's arm and pushed him towards Mu Ruqing, walked to Ruan Mianmian and sat down, and talked affectionately: "Mianmian, I haven't seen you for a long time, staying in the plum garden these days can be boring for me." ”

"Then you don't come to play with me, I have fun things here every day."

Ruan Mianmian took a plate of candied fruit on the table and put it in front of Zhu En, and saw that everyone had arrived, so he ordered people to go over and send a message to prepare for the food.

The square table was big enough, and the bench could fit as many people as possible, so everyone immediately sat around, Mu Ruqing and Jiang Xinyue next to each other, Liu Xin'er and Duan Yan, Lu Gui and Princess Zhuen, and among the people who were sitting, only Ruan Mianmian was still alone.

Ruan Mianmian looked at the empty stool beside him, and said with some sighs: "You are all in and out of the right way, my cannon is still blowing cold wind on the frontier, and I don't know when I will be able to come back." ”

Everyone saw a trace of loneliness flashing in her eyes, but no one knew what to say to really comfort her, so they all kept silent, but fortunately, Ruan Mianmian was not a sentimental person, so she immediately shook her head and didn't say anything, watching the maids line up to bring all kinds of dishes, and their attention instantly focused on a table of delicacies of different shapes.

Although today is a small gathering of relatives and friends, it is also the first time for the three new chefs to cook in Yipinxiang, so they are particularly attentive, Wang Xun has been arranged to enter the palace to learn from the chef of the imperial dining room, and Uncle Hua has been busy all day with back pain, so he has been invited to sit down, this meal is completely made by the three new chefs.

Li Binghai is an imperial chef, Qin Feng is good at home-cooked food, but Long Dafu is a cook from the bitter cold land in the north, the three of them have different styles, and the dishes and vegetables they make are also different.

The little maid with a quick mouth stood aside to introduce to everyone, and what Li Binghai presented was the carp leaping dragon gate, the golden silk fried cake roll, and the jade jade belt soup; Qin Feng made a few simple home-cooked dishes, pulling sweet potatoes, braised phoenix feet with tiger skin, and a dish of enoki mushroom stuffed meat that looks extremely cumbersome and exquisite; Lung Dafu made his hometown dish, the main dish is a large pot of stew, the walls of the pot are covered with steaming corn tortillas, as well as plump and round sticky bean buns, and a large plate of braised pork trotters.

The chef selected by Yipinxiang will naturally not be wrong with his cooking skills, every dish looks exquisite, and the most attractive thing for Ruan Mianmian is the plate of enoki mushroom stuffed meat in front of her.

Because Yipinxiang never pays attention to those cumbersome rules when eating, it is more like a family meal, so Ruan Mianmian is not restrained, and immediately uses chopsticks to pick up a few enoki mushrooms and observe them carefully. These enoki mushrooms are neatly stacked and made into the shape of orchid grass on a plate, and the enoki mushrooms are also pinched off and the tail is removed, leaving only a hollow stem of the same thickness in the middle. What's even more amazing is that Qin Feng didn't know what method he used to stuff this thin and fragile enoki mushroom with meat puree, but the enoki mushroom outside was not damaged at all, which can be described as ingenious.

Gently put it into the mouth to chew, first the enoki mushroom is crisp and delicious, the taste is excellent, and then the aroma of the minced meat is only slightly soaked between the lips and teeth, leaving a unique deliciousness, Qin Feng's mind is also delicate, he also added a little vinegar when frying, neutralizing the greasy meat, but giving people an indescribable strange feeling, mellow and refreshing.

Seeing the appreciation that Ruan Mianmian showed after eating this dish, the others couldn't hold back, and they tasted it one after another, and ate half of this dish after a while. Ruan Mianmian didn't just care about eating, but observed the mood of everyone at the dinner table, which was already part of her daily meal, and it was also a special occupational disease of eating and broadcasting.

Seeing that everyone was curious about moving chopsticks, only Uncle Hua sat alone and did not taste this enoki mushroom stuffed meat with everyone, but instead sandwiched a piece of tiger skin and phoenix claws and ate it silently, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Uncle Hua, this phoenix claw is just an ordinary folk dish, is there anything else famous?"

"The name is big, if it is for me, this table of dishes can also make my eyes shine with this tiger skin wind claw, you see," Uncle Hua showed the phoenix claws on the chopsticks to everyone, only to see that this phoenix claw is not an ordinary appearance, but a little curly, and it is slightly flicked a few times with the movement of Uncle Hua's hand, "This phoenix claw is all shaved off the bones." ”

If it is said that most people make phoenix feet, they are only cleaned and directly put down, or steamed or boiled, and I have never heard of a person who can completely remove the bones and ensure that the meat of the phoenix feet is intact.

Mu Ruqing knew that this dish had in his previous life, and it was usually made with a sour and spicy taste, and it took a lot of effort to remove the bones of the phoenix claws, and there were skills in using force and cutting the knife. Qin Feng, a young man born in ancient times, was able to figure out this method of deboning by himself, he was really a hero out of a young man, and even he was a little admired from the bottom of his heart.

Ruan Mianmian couldn't be left behind, so he immediately tasted a bite of the phoenix claw made by Qin Feng, and the whole thing was eaten in his mouth, which was indeed much cooler than the phoenix claw that usually needs to be slowly deboned, and it was easier to feel the chewiness of the meat tendons and the wonderful taste of the already very flavorful meat skin when chewing directly, and couldn't help but admire, and I couldn't wait to immediately go to the back kitchen to praise it in person.

After eating the phoenix claws, Ruan Mianmian looked at the few dishes made by Li Binghai again. To be honest, although she can't believe in Li Binghai's character, his cooking skills have nothing to say, and he is biased towards the delicacy of the court, and he looks outstanding, so she looked around, and the chopsticks stretched straight to the carp leaping dragon gate.

This dish is actually commonly known as sweet and sour carp, but this fat carp is fried golden brown and poured with a thick red translucent broth, and the head and tail are raised high to form a pleasant arc, as if it is really about to jump over the dragon gate.

It's just that Ruan Mianmian's chopsticks were just about to touch the carp's body, but they were blocked by Mu Ruqing's chopsticks stretched out from the side, he gave everyone a look, and then took out a bright silver needle from his sleeve, picked the meat on the fish's tail with a spoon and pierced it.

After waiting for a few breaths, the silver needle did not change color, it was still as bright and sharp as ever, Mu Ruqing's face was still a little serious, put the fish aside, and sandwiched the meat on the fish's belly to try it again with the silver needle.

Ruan Mianmian smiled: "Brother Mu, you are too careful, although he has bad intentions, he will not be at the small banquet..."

Ruan Mianmian stopped abruptly halfway through this, silently closed his mouth and restrained his smile, because the silver needle in Mu Ruqing's hand had slowly risen from the bottom to the top, and suddenly the entire person on the table withdrew their chopsticks with a serious expression, the silver needle has explained everything, this dish is poisonous, and it is fatally poisonous.

Zhu En didn't know what happened today, Lu Gui only told her that King Qi had been arrested, so she was most puzzled when she saw that the dishes made by the chef were poisonous, and asked in surprise: "Isn't this a dish made by your chef, how can it poison you in turn?" ”

Lu Gui quietly held her hand on the side of the table and explained softly: "Don't panic, although this Li Binghai was selected by Yipinxiang today, he is the secret line of King Qi, and the news from King Qi's side has not been made public, so he doesn't know that King Qi has an accident, and I'm afraid he is killing everyone according to their plan." ”

Mu Ruqing Tie blushed and wrapped the silver needle and the fish and meat he picked up in strips of cloth and threw them into the garbage basket, looked up at the courtyard, the maid who was originally serving had already gone down after serving the food, only the closest group were there, and they didn't shout out, so it should be unknown that they had found poison outside.
