The people in the dining room were all gone, and the stove was clean, and there were no ingredients at all.

Eventually, Fleur turned out the pigs, cows, chickens and ducks, found more than a dozen vegetables, and was ready to start cooking.

She really had to suspect that Zhao Ru'an was ready to make things difficult for her early in the morning, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that the people in the dining room didn't start preparing for dinner?

"Huan'er, you read it to me again, what do you like to eat?" Fleur was talking and washing rice, not daring to be idle at all.

Huan'er has a good memory, when Furong first married in the house, she specially asked the housekeeper about everyone's tastes, and Huan'er remembered it.

"Mrs. Xu doesn't eat spicy food, she likes to eat Babao duck; The old lady loves spicy food, likes to eat spicy chicken, back to the pot meat; The eldest prince has a light diet and likes to eat bamboo shoots, lotus root and other ingredients; The third son likes sweetness and loves to eat squirrel fish; The fourth lady has never heard of what she likes to eat, she doesn't seem to eat much, and she is never picky about anything. Huan'er recalled and recited carefully.

Furong listened to Huan'er's words, and looked for suitable ingredients one by one, and asked casually, "What does Mrs. Liu like to eat?" ”

Huan'er said while helping Furong wash the vegetables: "I don't know, I didn't say it when I asked the housekeeper." ”

Huan'er didn't understand what her young lady was asking these for, the original prince didn't give much time, and the young lady hadn't cooked for some years, it was not easy to prepare so many dishes, if you took care of everyone's taste, wouldn't it be too troublesome?

And what if the young lady really prepared the corresponding dishes according to everyone's taste? There will still be no one who thinks of her good, so Mrs. Xu may have to find out how many faults.

"Oh, that's right. Mrs. Liu is a native of Qizhou, she should have a heavy mouth and like pasta? The staple dish of the night was to add a scallion pancake, and I think Madame would like it too. ”

Furong said that she didn't dare to be idle at all, she was worried that Huan'er would not be able to grasp the softness and hardness of the noodles, so she rolled up her sleeves and noodles by herself, and waited for the noodles to wake up before cutting the meat.

"Miss, it's all because Huan'er is clumsy, and she's not good at cooking, so I can't help you today." Huan'er wanted to come forward to help, but she really didn't know how to cook, for fear that she would cut the meat unevenly and help the young lady, so she didn't dare to stretch out her hand indiscriminately.

"You're not a stove girl, isn't it normal that you can't cook? Today, I didn't buy fish in the house, so I took Babao duck as the main dish. Then make a back pot meat, roast pork ribs, sweet and sour crispy pork. The meat dishes are a little greasy, and the vegetarian dishes should be refreshing, so they make cabbage and vegetable rolls, cold lotus root, stir-fried yam and vegetarian fried cauliflower. For soup, make crab roe and tofu soup, and dim sum to make pumpkin bean paste cake. Today, the fourth lady came to my room, I saw that she ate several pieces of osmanthus cake, and the taste should also follow the third son, who likes sweetness, and will like to make pumpkin bean paste. ”

Finally thinking about all the menus in her heart, Fleur was relieved.

"I'd rather fall into a group than leave one behind", since she promised Zhao Ruan to make this dinner, she will do her best to do it well.

"Miss, these dishes are also delicious, but they are not exquisite? And pastries, you don't know how to make peach cakes or something, the tricks are better than pumpkin pie. Huan'er was puzzled.

"You don't need to make it so delicate and beautiful, if they look at the way I cook it, they will have to toss me to make it a few more times in the future. If you eat deliciously, you won't be able to get into the elegant hall, and you won't be able to order me to prepare dinner next time. I didn't marry into the palace to make soup for such a large family, it's almost enough. ”

Furong didn't expect to make Zhao Ru'an change her opinion of her by cooking a meal, even if she didn't do a good meal, she wouldn't be rewarded, but if she didn't do well, she would be punished, which she knew well.

However, she is still very confident in her cooking skills, when she was in Zhufu, the second lady's temperament was not much better than Xu's, isn't she still picky about her cooking? Over the years, she has also practiced her cooking skills.

After a lot of work, some dishes are afraid that they will be cold if they are cooked early, and they have to pinch the time to get out of the pot, and there is still a moment before the food is served, and she finally prepares all the dishes.

called a few maids to serve the food, and Furong instructed Huan'er to follow all the way, and don't let people do anything to the dishes halfway.

Then, she trotted all the way back to the bedroom, found a new dress to change, mended rouge, and arranged her hair, and then walked to the main hall.

As the old lady sat down and everyone was seated, Xu began to stare at the many dishes on the table and began to frown.

"Fleur, I heard that you made today's dishes?" Xu smelled the aroma of Babao duck and couldn't believe that this dish would come from Zhu Furong.

"Back to my mother's words, today I saw Miss Biao coming to the house as a guest, so I thought of personally cooking and entertaining the landlord with the friendship of the landlord. I'm not good at cooking, I can only cook some home-cooked dishes, and I hope everyone will have a lot of Haihan. ”

"These dishes are all made by the second sister-in-law?" After the fourth lady heard this, she suddenly became interested, and said in her heart that she would have enough of the Hibiscus field today no matter what, even if these dishes were not delicious, she had to say that they were delicious.

Her eyes swept over the dishes one by one, and finally settled on the pumpkin bean paste cake.

"Ah, there's this."

The fourth lady happily took a piece and bit it in her mouth, and said happily: "It's delicious, the pumpkin pie sold in the Li family's shop at the Peach Blossom Festival in previous years is this taste." ”

"What kind of Li family's shop, it's not a snack in the market, and it can't be on the stage." Xu Shi glared at the fourth lady, took a bite of the eight-treasure duck, and tasted that the taste was also very authentic, so he stopped talking.

"Grandmother, try this pot of meat. The second sister-in-law has a lot of heart, she must have specially inquired about your love of food, so she did it. ”

In terms of her attitude towards Furong, the fourth lady was afraid that the old lady and the Xu family would uphold the same attitude, so she hurriedly took the initiative to pick up vegetables for the old lady and couldn't stop saying yes.

Seeing this scene, Furong couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth when she looked at the fourth lady, this sister was really cute, and she said that she wanted to help her in the afternoon, and then she said good things about her.

"Auntie, I don't know what you like to eat, thinking that Qizhou people love to eat pasta, so I baked you scallion pancakes, do you taste it?"

Liu Shi was actually sitting next to Furong, originally she didn't want to take the initiative to introduce this cake to Liu Shi she specially made for Liu, but she didn't see anyone taste this cake for a long time, and for a while she felt a little distressed about the effort she spent on the dough pancake, so she hurriedly asked Liu Shi to taste it.

"You mean, this bread was made for me?" Liu was a little surprised, she has been married into the palace for more than 20 years, and no one has ever specially prepared any food for her.

Xu was born in Jiangnan and likes to eat rice as a staple food, but she was born in Qizhou and likes to eat noodles. On weekdays, it is not difficult to ask the kitchen to prepare steamed buns, and it is not difficult to make bread, but when Xu eats at the same table, Xu does not like her to eat pasta, and she has never taken the initiative to make any more requests to the dining room over the years.

She is cowardly by nature, she gave birth to a son and suffered from leg disease, and the eldest prince is not kind to her on weekdays, she can age peacefully in the house is already a blessing, where do you dare to cause trouble again?

So Furong was targeted by the Xu family in the house, and she often felt that she saw another self, but she didn't dare to say anything to protect her.

But today, Fleur actually made a cake for her, and when she bit it into her mouth, her eyes were a little red.

Zhao Ruan never moved his chopsticks, he sat there silently, observing the expressions on everyone's faces by drinking tea, and sighed lightly.

In his eyes, Fleur was able to make this meal on time and take everyone's taste into account, which was indeed her ability.

But the more she did, the better she did, the more he couldn't feel at ease to keep her by his side.

Perhaps, he should find an opportunity to accompany Furong back to the Zhu Mansion and go to her mother's house to get to know what the origin of this eldest lady of the Zhu family is.

As a young lady, she has a complicated mind, a strange temper, and she has been practicing martial arts all year round and is good at cooking, which seems unreasonable, right?

If he found out that Zhu Furong was actually married to the palace by impersonation, wouldn't he be able to justifiably drive her out of the palace?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ru'an almost laughed out loud, and when he saw the third prince looking at him with a puzzled expression, he coughed lightly, lowered his head and drank a sip of crab roe tofu soup to cover up.

Not to mention, this crab roe tofu soup tastes really good.

If Wishing Fleur was not his princess, but his maid, he would have felt very happy.

After eating a meal, everyone more or less has a new understanding of Hibiscus.

Miss Biao put down her chopsticks, wiped the oil stains on her lips with a handkerchief, looked up at Furong and smiled: "The princess is one year older than me, so I won't go out and call you a sister......"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Furong's mouth, "Miss Cousin doesn't need to be so polite, just call me 'second sister-in-law' with the fourth miss." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Miss Biao's face disappeared instantly.

"The princess made such a table of dishes, but her makeup was still so clean and tidy, and there was not even a trace of oil stains on her dress, and this meal was really clean."

Her words immediately made Xu suspect that these dishes were not from Furong's hands.

"Ranran's words are quite reasonable, I said how can this dish taste so authentic, it turned out that you didn't make it yourself? It wouldn't hurt if all the dishes were bought, but what is your intention in lying like this in front of the old lady and the prince? "Maybe it's because I'm full, Xu's voice is a little louder than just now.

"These dishes are indeed made by me, and the prince's personal guard, White Eagle, can testify. All afternoon, there was no one else in the dining room except me and Huan'er. There are no grease stains on my clothes, because I went to the room to change into clean clothes after cooking, what's so strange? If my mother and Miss Biao are worried that I bought these dishes, then go to this Beijing restaurant and try them one by one to see if there are any dishes made by the chef who tastes the same as the dishes I made today, and if I can find them, I am willing to be punished. ”

Fleur just felt tired, she had been busy for two hours, and she didn't expect anyone to praise her for her goodness, but she didn't want anyone to take advantage of this to trouble her.

She can always smell the strange smell of smoke in recent nights, which makes her wake up with a headache, and if she doesn't rest well, it will affect her mood, and it's good to be able to make so many dishes patiently, what do you want her to do?

It's really a sin that you want to add, and there is no excuse for it!
