Chapter 155: Eating Hot Pot
Hearing what the emperor said, Zhao Qingyan was also more happy in his heart.
Seeing that the sky had changed a little, Zhao Qingyan said with a smile: "Then Qingyan will thank the emperor first, and please tell us something first." When the time comes, we will also make a reception banquet first, and wait for my father and Ah Qiao to come back. ”
Hearing Zhao Qingyan say this, the emperor and Mrs. Cheng both nodded in unison.
"Your daughter-in-law, you really can't find it anywhere. I want to say, Mrs. Wynhou, you are really a good eye. ”
Seeing that the emperor said this, although Mrs. Cheng originally looked down on Zhao Qingyan, the emperor praised her. She smiled and said, "That's natural, Your Majesty, you don't know how long it took the concubine to help Qiao'er find a beautiful girl." Now, it can be regarded as a reward. Qingyan is really a very good daughter-in-law. ”
Mrs. Cheng boasted in her mouth, and she couldn't help but change her opinion of Zhao Qingyan, who gave her a long face. All along, she felt that Zhao Qingyan was not very good, not to mention that the old lady found it back, and she also carried a small oil bottle, so she looked down on Zhao Qingyan even more. But even if Zhao Qingyan made her have a long face in front of the emperor today, of course she had to say some good things.
Hearing Mrs. Cheng say this, Zhao Qingyan smiled without modesty. "Yes, thanks to my mother, otherwise where would I find a woman as good as a concubine?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng's smile faded a little, but the corners of her mouth twitched inadvertently.
The emperor leaned forward, trying to say something to them. But the eunuch behind him walked over, bent down and whispered something in the emperor's ear. When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows, then nodded to Zhao Qingyan, and said apologetically: "Then that's it for now, I have some things that need to be dealt with, and we will talk about it another day." ”
Seeing that the emperor was also preparing to leave, Mrs. Cheng took Zhao Qingyan and retired.
Another eunuch behind the emperor left the palace with them. Then Mrs. Cheng looked at Zhao Qingyan and said, "Today is good, the emperor has praised you, hasn't he?" ”
"How can there be, it's my mother who did a good job, and my mother picked me."
Zhao Qingyan said this, and knew in his heart that he would have to praise Mrs. Cheng a few more times, and when she was in a good mood, she would not be able to say anything bad to herself.
Obviously, this is very useful to Mrs. Cheng. She lifted her chin and said, "That's it, I don't have a good eye." Whatever you say, it's good that you're doing well today, there's no doubt about it. ”
Zhao Qingyan lowered his eyes and nodded. Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Zhao Qingyan said: "Since I know that my father and Ah Qiao will be back soon, this is also good news, why don't we come to my restaurant at noon today?" ”
Zhao Qingyan sent an invitation to Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng didn't seem to refuse, and raised her eyebrows.
"Your restaurant? What's your restaurant like? But what are the common features of those restaurants? If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the same as other restaurants, right? ”
"Whether there is a difference or not, my mother will know if you try it."
Mrs. Cheng exchanged glances with Zhao Qingyan, and then nodded: "Okay, let me try it first today." ”
"That's good." Zhao Qingyan answered, and took Mrs. Cheng to her restaurant, "I will order someone to tell the old lady first, if the old lady waits for us, it will not be good." ”
Hearing Zhao Qingyan say this, the curvature of the corners of Mrs. Cheng's mouth deepened again.
Zhao Qingyan had always wanted Mrs. Cheng to come and see her restaurant, so that she could know what she was doing.
Otherwise, either he will say that he is not doing his job, or he will say that as a daughter-in-law of Huai Enhou, he can only cook, and it is not good to spread it.
It has been said that their relationship is not good before, and now, she wants to reverse this relationship.
After coming to the restaurant, Mrs. Cheng looked left and right, and found that there was really a little difference between this place and other places, not just in decoration, but in the overall style. Mrs. Cheng looked at it and felt that it was very pleasing to the eye, and she couldn't say one, two, or three, she only knew that she liked it more than other restaurants.
In fact, thinking about it makes her a little contradictory, first of all, she hates Zhao Qingyan, but she herself likes Zhao Qingyan's restaurant. It made her feel like she couldn't talk about it, or it would inevitably embarrass her a little.
Thinking so, when Zhao Qingyan asked Mrs. Cheng how the restaurant was, Mrs. Cheng's eyes looked around and said, "That's it, yours is a little better than others." ”
I had already seen Zhao Qingyan, who was appreciative of Mrs. Cheng's eyes when she came, and when she heard this, she smiled and said nothing.
"So what? What do we eat today? Could it be the signature dish of your restaurant? Mrs. Cheng asked, and Zhao Qingyan took her to sit down by the stairs on the first floor, and said, "It's too uninspiring to eat signature dishes, mother." Today we're going to eat something else, like we'll let the guys serve it. ”
Zhao Qingyan said, called a guy and said something to her.
Mrs. Cheng saw that there were several guys not far from them looking at them and saying something, and then looked at Zhao Qingyan again, her eyes full of admiration. For a moment, Mrs. Cheng felt a little strange. After all, she had never seen anyone look at Zhao Qingyan like this, and she just wanted to say something, but when she heard that Zhao Qingyan was still talking to the female guy, she didn't speak.
"Some dishes, yes, they want to be fresh, and there are fresh pork, chicken, don't ask for mutton, sao ......" Zhao Qingyan explained to the female guy, seeing that the female guy kept looking at Mrs. Cheng, Zhao Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?" Is my mother still charming? ”
The female guy asked Zhao Qingyan: "Shopkeeper, how did you get your mother-in-law?" All we heard before was that you didn't have a good relationship, why ...... now?"
Zhao Qingyan blinked and said, "You, you're just eccentric, let's do things first, let's talk about something later?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Qingyan didn't want to say anything so obviously, the female guy flattened her mouth.
"Okay, sister, I'll go to work first, and I'll give you what you asked for later!"
Zhao Qingyan nodded, and then sat there.
After the female guy brought the stove and meat dishes she wanted, Zhao Qingyan heated the stove first, and then said to Mrs. Cheng: "Mother, this is called hot pot." When the water is a little hotter, put the meat in and cook it, and then when it is cooked, you can eat it. And ah, you can also add some base material, I'll put it in later. ”
There was a strange thing in front of her, and Mrs. Cheng thought it was quite fresh. Her eyes were like a child's, looking at what the hell those things were doing.
Zhao Qingyan is not very sure, this hot pot, there is a lack of these materials in ancient times, and she can only find some to replace it first. What's more, she hasn't done it in the store either, so it's inevitable that she will be a little unsure. It's not terrible to mess up, I'm afraid that something will go wrong with this pot, and it's not good if it hurts people.
Just as he wanted to say something, Zhao Qingyan turned his head and saw the curiosity in Mrs. Cheng's eyes, and swallowed the words he was about to say again.
