Chapter 61: Meet the Disciples
Lixia immediately sent a beautiful food box over, and Zhao Qingyan took it and gave it to Wen Zichen: "My mother made it for you, can you take a look?" ”
She knew that she had scared the child this time, just look at his panicked look.
"I love everything my mother makes, mother, next time you are not allowed to do this, I am about to worry about you to death."
Wen Zichen did not open the food box, but looked at Zhao Qingyan with a frightened face, and there were tears in his eyes.
"Okay, there's no next time, it's almost time for you to go to the Hanlin Academy, let's go."
Since the food box is made by Zhao Qingyan, it can be kept warm for up to two hours compared to ordinary food boxes, so Zhao Qingyan is not worried that when Wen Zichen eats, the dish will be cold.
She held the food box in one hand and Wen Zichen in the other, and the two of them walked towards the Hanlin Courtyard in a carriage.
"Chen'er, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Qingyan noticed that Wen Zichen was very quiet all the way, and he was a little worried, and his intuition was because of the fire in the kitchen just now.
"Mother, I'm fine."
Wen Zichen thinks that it is because he is too weak now, if he grows taller and stronger, and encounters something like today, he can go in to save his mother.
"You see that there is nothing wrong with my mother, so be happy and don't think so much."
Zhao Qingyan comforted.
"Hmm."
Wen Zichen smiled, then fell silent, and secretly swore that he would grow taller quickly to protect Zhao Qingyan.
"Wen Zichen, go to school in the Hanlin Academy."
At the gate of Hanlin Academy, Zhao Qingyan admonished, watched Wen Zichen enter, and then went to the restaurant to inspect as usual.
Unexpectedly, the restaurant was chartered today, and Zhao Qingyan had to enter through the back door.
"Who are you, how did you get in from here, and take out your identification."
But unfortunately, as soon as Zhao Qingyan entered, he was discovered by the subordinates of the person who chartered the venue, because Zhao Qingyan has always been a restaurant opened in men's clothes, at this time she is a woman's clothes, and the people on the sixth floor are busy, so Zhao Qingyan has no way to go in again for a while.
"Don't you have no way to prove your identity, since that's the case, I think you better leave, this restaurant is our master's contract, if you want to come, let's come again tomorrow."
The subordinates of the person who chartered the venue directly drove Zhao Qingyan out.
Zhao Qingyan watched himself being driven away, and felt quite funny for a while.
She really didn't expect that she would be kicked out by others in her restaurant, and she felt inexplicably funny when she thought about it.
Zhao Qingyan was not interested, turned around and was about to leave the restaurant, when he caught a glimpse of a person kneeling in the lobby.
That figure was a little familiar, Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but take a few more looks, and couldn't help but be shocked at this look.
It's actually Yanqing's shopkeeper!
Zhao Qingyan frowned, and walked to the nearest guard: "This son, may I ask which adult is the one who chartered today's field?" As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and secretly slipped it into the guard's hand.
"It's Shangguan Hao, the son of the Ministry of Works." The guard weighed the piece of broken silver and said with a smile, "Is there anything else Miss want to ask?" ”
The guard's words also matched Zhao Qingyan's heart: "What is the little son of the Shangguan family doing here?" ”
"I heard that Gongzi said that he was coming to see Yanqing."
Zhao Qingyan nodded, a little unable to understand what Shangguan Hao was going to do when he saw her, and he didn't want to see him. But the shopkeeper knelt there, and she couldn't let it go.
"Then why does the shopkeeper kneel in the lobby?" Zhao Qingyan asked, and stuffed another piece of silver to the guard: "Thank you." ”
"The shopkeeper didn't know what to do, and he actually refused our son's request." The guards were also a little angry: "Our son-in-law admires his face to see their boss, and this shopkeeper still dares to refuse!" ”
When Zhao Qingyan heard this, he took a step back in annoyance, said politely, and walked towards Shangguan Hao.
Shangguan Hao was scolding the shopkeeper, and after seeing Zhao Qingyan, he restrained a little, but there was still anger in his eyes, and he looked at Zhao Qingyan with raised eyebrows.
"Master, he has something to do, can I do it for him?" Zhao Qingyan said, smiling at Shangguan Hao: "Although I can't catch up with Master, I should still be able to take charge of myself." ”
Shangguan Hao was fascinated by Zhao Qingyan's smile, and said for a while: "You are Yanqing's apprentice?" ”
After getting Zhao Qingyan's affirmative answer, Shangguan Hao took Zhao Qingyan into the restaurant and asked Zhao Qingyan to cook for him.
Because of Shangguan Hao, Zhao Qingyan successfully entered the restaurant, and after helping the shopkeeper up, he came to the kitchen, looking for ingredients to start with.
His eyes fell on the live fish next to him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "It's you." ”
Scoop up the largest fish, handle the scales with your hands and feet, divide the fish into several pieces, and coat the meat in the belly of the fish with flour.
When the fish meat is put into the oil pot, a burst of aroma bursts out instantly, hooking people's taste buds.
Shangguan Hao was waiting outside, and when he smelled the aroma, he moved his nose and almost drooled.
Zhao Qingyan sprinkled the condiments into the pot, and the aroma was suddenly doubled. After a brief stir-fry, the fish is removed from the pan and served on a plain white dish with peonies.
The bead curtain at the door moved, making a clear sound. Zhao Qingyan turned her head and saw that it was Shangguan Hao walking in, her eyes locked on the fish beside her.
"There's one more dish that hasn't been done." Zhao Qingyan smiled slightly, didn't pay much attention to Guan Hao, and boiled the milk in another pot.
The milky aroma gradually dilutes the strong aroma just now, reaching a delicate balance. Zhao Qingyan put the cut tofu cube into it, allowing the tofu to fully inhale the milky aroma.
Zhao Qingyan glanced at the ingredients around him and put the fish head on the cutting board into it. Chop some leeks again to make the dish look even more delicious.
Shangguan Hao licked his lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. But in front of the beauty, he still restrained his movements and pretended to be an elegant son: "The girl's craftsmanship is probably not weaker than Yanqing's." ”
That is, she is a banquet herself.
"Shangguan Gongzi praised it falsely." Zhao Qingyan said, taking all of Shangguan Hao's demeanor into his eyes, and secretly despised Shangguan Hao in his heart for really not having anything to do with elegance, but he still had to pretend to be elegant.
The two dishes were ready, and Zhao Qingyan brought them into the private room: "Son, use it slowly." ”
Shangguan Hao squinted his eyes and stared at Zhao Qingyan's face unabashedly: "Is there any wine?" ”
"The best bamboo leaf green, can you?"
"If you accompany you, you can drink anything." Shangguan Hao looked at her with squinting eyes, and a hand lightly touched her sleeve, wanting to touch her hand.
Zhao Qingyan smiled and turned sideways, dodging his movements, and turned to get the wine. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Hao grabbed her sleeve and brought her to him.
"This kind of thing, just let the shopkeeper do it. Xiao Er, two pots of bamboo leaf green. ”
Zhao Qingyan frowned, wanted to struggle but couldn't, so he had to give in temporarily, sitting quietly beside Shangguan Hao, and endured Shangguan Hao's overly straightforward gaze.
