When entering the Mei Courtyard, Chen Lingfeng probably knew that Xiao Qiongzhi would bring the red apricots over, and he was actually standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for them with a smile.

"Mother, who told you in advance that I would come over for dinner?" Xiao Qiongzhi asked with a curious smile.

"Prince Qiu." Chen Lingfeng said.

As he spoke, Chen Lingfeng turned around and pointed in the direction of the kitchen in the backyard, and whispered to Xiao Qiongzhi with a mysterious face: "Today, not only your father cooks himself, but Prince Qiu also cooks himself!" ”

"Huh? Does he also cook? Xiao Qiongzhi felt a little incredible.

Whether it is the fantasy she saw in modern times, or the Zhiwei she saw in this era, she has never written about a cultivator with a high status and ability like Prince Qiu, who cooks and cooks by himself.

In addition, in the era she is living in now, she advocates that in addition to the male lead, the female lead, except for the chef in the restaurant, as far as she knows, in life, even in ordinary families, there are almost no men who can cook.

And Prince Qiu, as the prince of Dongliang, has been clothed and fed since he was a child, unless Prince Qiu himself repeatedly insists on learning to cook, otherwise, even if Prince Qiu wants to cook, it is estimated that Prince Qiu's father and mother will not agree.

She originally thought that Prince Qiu couldn't cook at all.

"Zhi'er, don't underestimate Prince Qiu, he may have done it, not to mention that he can cook, his cooking skills are even inferior to the chef of Zhencai Building!" Chen Lingfeng reached out and touched Xiao Qiongzhi's head, and said very seriously.

"Really?" Xiao Qiongzhi felt even more incredible.

Chen Lingfeng is like this, it doesn't seem like an exaggeration.

But this dish is still in the kitchen, and everyone hasn't eaten it, Chen Lingfeng just said so, it's not an exaggeration, what is it?

While walking in the direction of the kitchen in the backyard, she turned her head and asked Chen Lingfeng: "Mother, I remember that according to the rules of our house, foreign men are not allowed to enter the backyard alone, when did Prince Qiu come over?" Who came with him? ”

Chen Lingfeng replied: "Prince Qiu came to the backyard, which is in line with the rules. He came about half an hour ago, accompanied by your father. ”

Well, it seems that Prince Qiu came prepared.

However, Xiao Zhengzhen's actions are not too difficult to speak on the surface, and he is very disciplined in his bones.

The fact that he was able to take the initiative to bring Prince Qiu to the Plum Courtyard this time proves that in his heart, he no longer treats Prince Qiu as an outsider.

But just this morning, Xiao Zhengzhen also clearly said to Xiao Qiongzhi that Prince Qiu is not simple, since he saw Prince Qiu in Zhoujia Village eight years ago, he has been sending people to secretly watch his movements.

But Prince Qiu can always get rid of the sis of his people unconsciously, and he has always been a person he can't see through at all.

In this way, it is naturally impossible for him to let Xiao Qiongzhi marry Prince Qiu with confidence.

Moreover, he also made it clear that at present, Prince Xuan is the most suitable candidate for Xiao Qiongzhi.

Now it's okay, he didn't take Prince Xuan to the Plum Courtyard yet, so he took Prince Qiu to the Plum Courtyard first.

What means did Prince Qiu use to make Xiao Zhengzhen's attitude towards Prince Qiu change so much all of a sudden?

Xiao Qiongzhi's heart was full of doubts, and the steps under her feet were getting faster and faster.

Soon, she was out into the kitchen in the backyard.

The kitchen is bustling.

Xiao Zhengzhen personally sat by the stove and lit the fire.

Prince Qiu himself stir-fried vegetables with a large shovel in the cauldron on the stove.

The two guards that Prince Qiu has been bringing with him for the past two days are also there.

Among them, the guard named Han Lang, whom Xiao Qiongzhi knew, was beside the cutting board in front of the desk, chopping vegetables with his hands and feet.

Another guard, whose name he didn't know, was doing chores on the side, helping to wash onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments.

On the table next to it, there are several dishes that have been prepared, namely mapo tofu, chicken stewed mushrooms, steamed soft-shelled turtle, and cuttlefish stewed duck.

The color of these dishes looks particularly bright, as if they are about to be cooked, and the aroma that comes out is very attractive.

Moreover, I don't know if it's the prince or who, very ingeniously put them on suitable plates, or all kinds of beautiful bowls, and put them into beautiful patterns one by one.

For example, mapo tofu is served on a plate and arranged in the shape of a pagoda.

For example, the chicken stewed mushrooms are filled with fresh lotus leaves, and are arranged in the shape of a complete chicken, and the mushrooms are petal-shaped, arranged around the chickens, and under the lotus leaves that hold them, there is a beautiful large bowl in the shape of lotus leaves.

In short, not only from the color of the dishes, the arrangement of the dishes, the application of the cooking tools, and the fragrance of each dish in the future, it is very pleasing to the eye and appetizing.

Xiao Qiongzhi felt very shocked in her heart, walked quickly to Prince Qiu's side, and looked down curiously at him to stir-fry.

What he was frying was pine nut corn.

This dish is the most particular about the heat, it is very difficult to make, Xiao Qiongzhi can make it himself, but he has not been very satisfied with it.

The ingredients they need are simple, which are corn, pine nuts, carrots, cucumbers, salt, water starch, sweet wine, sesame oil, etc.

Among them, the carrots and cucumbers are washed and diced, the pine nuts are shelled, and the corn kernels, cucumber grains and carrot cubes are blanched.

Then, put oil in the pot, pour in the pine nuts and stir-fry until fragrant, and then pour the carrots, corn kernels, and cucumber grains in turn.

When the carrots, corn kernels, and cucumber grains are medium-cooked, add salt and sweet wine, pour an appropriate amount of water, and the water starch can be thickened.

However, at the moment when the dish came out of the pot, Xiao Qiongzhi noticed that the corn kernels used by Prince Qiu were not ordinary corn kernels at this time, but sweet corn kernels that are only available in modern times!

Although Xiao Qiongzhi has taught the craftsmen in charge of agriculture in the Ministry of Industry to learn to grow greenhouse vegetables since he returned to Lanling eight years ago, and promoted them all over the world, in this era, whether it is the Oriental Continent or overseas, there are no sweet corn seeds at all!

She immediately pointed to the corn kernels and asked Prince Qiu in great surprise: "Prince Qiu, where did you get this sweet corn from?" ”

"I grew it myself." Prince Qiu smiled and said very calmly.

Xiao Qiongzhi felt incredible again.

However, she liked to eat sweet corn very much, and she didn't care about the incredibleness of thinking about it, and asked anxiously, "Do you still have the seeds of this sweet corn?" ”

"Yes. If you need it, I'll have someone send you a pack. Prince Qiu still looked very calm.

At this time, Xiao Zhengzhen, who was burning the fire, was not calm.

He suddenly made a somewhat dissatisfied look, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qiongzhi, and said loudly: "Zhi'er, what is your attitude towards Qiu'er?" He cooked this time, but he specially asked me about what dishes you like to eat, and then picked your favorite dishes to cook! ”

"When you come over and see the dishes he cooks on the table, you don't praise him for his cooking skills, but you first ask him for this and that, how can you do it?"
