♂? ，，

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Ruoxi changed into Liuli's costume and went to the shop.

Dongzi had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Gu Ruoxi coming back, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Has anything else happened in the store in the past two days?" Gu Ruoxi looked the shop up and down and asked.

Fuyuko replied honestly, "Nothing happened. ”

Gu Ruoxi looked at him, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't paid Dongzi for the past few days, and she didn't know how he lived with his widowed mother. "He's a low doctor.

"It's not much, it's just twenty dollars a month." Fuyuko smiled embarrassedly.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "This is this month's salary." “

When Dongzi saw it, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "Xiaochun, how can this be?" That's too much! He just didn't dare to reach out to pick up the silver in Gu Ruoxi's hand, so he kept shirking it.

Gu Ruoxi said: "Don't rush to excuse yourself, give this silver, I have other things to hand over to do." ”

Only then did Dongzi accept the silver and asked, "Xiaochun, say." ”

Gu Ruoxi looked around for a moment and said: "I have always lived here, and I am very familiar with this place, as the saying goes: it is difficult to do it alone." It's not enough to have just the two of us in this shop, I mean, help me find it, shopkeeper, man, this is all that needs to be recruited, is there a suitable recommendation? ”

"Xiaochun, I'm the right person to ask this!" As soon as Dongzi heard Gu Ruoxi's words, a look of eyebrows suddenly appeared on his face: "I am not satisfied with you to say, these days you are not here, when the little one is guarding the shop here, he has also pondered this problem, and there is a suitable candidate in his heart, so he will say and listen, whether it is suitable or not, it is up to Xiaochun to decide." ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Let's hear it!" ”

"Yes!" Xiaochun cleared his throat, and then spoke: "The little one is the previous shopkeeper in this shop, his surname is Xuanyuan, he is in his forties, and he has been a shopkeeper for more than ten years, he can be described as experienced and has an excellent character, but a few days ago, the nephew of the boss of Qian wanted to squeeze in to be the shopkeeper, and the Xuanyuan shopkeeper who was framed by a trick couldn't stay here and left angrily, and then the nephew of the Xuanyuan shopkeeper got his wish, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for the shop to lose almost everything. ”

Gu Ruoxi listened, groaned for a while, and said, "Then this Xuanyuan shopkeeper left this shop and didn't go to other shops?" ”

"Nope!" Dongzi sighed and said: "He has been wronged, and his heart has been depressed, resting at home, and he has never left the mountain. ”

Gu Ruoxi saw it, thought for a while and said, "If you want to invite him now, is he willing to come?" ”

Dongzi hurriedly responded: "Naturally, yes!" ”

Gu Ruoxi listened, nodded immediately, and said: "Okay, then I will take the time to see Xuanyuan's shopkeeper this afternoon, and talk to him by the way, just talk about it, even if you can't talk about it, don't force it, you know?" ”

"Yes, Koharu." Fuyuko nodded.

Gu Ruoxi took out the design drawings she had worked hard to draw in the past few days from her sleeve cage and handed them to Xiaochun, and said, "Look, can those gold ornaments be changed like this?" ”

Dongzi took it and looked at it quite curiously, and was suddenly a little surprised: "Boss, I have never seen these tricks!" ”

"Just say it's good or not." Gu Ruoxi said with a smile.

Dongzi nodded and said, "It looks chic and simple, I guess there will be many people who like it, if I have a daughter-in-law, I will definitely buy her a pair!" ”

Gu Ruoxi immediately laughed when he heard this: "It's good to have this intention!" As she spoke, she glanced down at the drawings in her hand and said, "This change, the style is small, it doesn't use much gold, and the cost price will not be too high. Find a chance to build two things and show them to me. ”

"No problem!" Dongzi suddenly smiled and was excited to receive the drawings.

Gu Ruoxi reminded him: "The price of this thing will not be too high, remember, when you build it, try to make it as thin as possible, you know?" ”

Fuyuko nodded hurriedly. ◎

Gu Ruoxi babbled and explained some things to him, and went upstairs to change his clothes.

Fuyuko excitedly took the draped paper and looked at it intently.

After a while, Gu Ruoxi came down from the upper floor, and she was already in blue clothes, and after she greeted Dongzi, she left the shop and went to Jingye Hou's Mansion.

She hasn't been back for several days, and I don't know if Xuanyuan Jingxi will punish her if she goes back this time? Gu Ruoxi was a little worried and helpless, she didn't know how long she would stay in King Jing's Mansion as a blue cloth.

Dongzi watched her change back and forth, and his heart was full of doubts, but he had been a buddy for many years, and he had long understood that there were some things that should not be asked, and if he asked, it would be a disaster, so he was smart and silent.

Gu Ruoxi came to the back door of King Jing's mansion and found that it was exactly the same as before, no one embarrassed her, everyone respectfully invited her in, and the expected punishments such as binding did not appear, which made Gu Ruoxi very uncomfortable.

All the way to the Qilan Palace, Gu Ruoxi just walked in and heard a deep voice: "Finally willing to come back?" ”

As he spoke, the man standing straight in the center of the hall slowly turned around.

The face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color is like the flower of spring dawn, the sideburns are like a knife, and the eyebrows are like black ink...... In this moment. Gu Ruoxi's heart swept over Cao Xueqin's description of Jia Baoyu in the Dream of Red Mansions, and the man in front of him all agreed

It's just that the slightly upturned corners of the eyes and the slightest sneer ruined the beauty.

Xuanyuan Jingxi is Xuanyuan Jingxi, His Royal Highness King Jing, who is flocked to by countless ladies in the capital, how can he be like others? He is who he is, and there is no way to copy it.

Seeing the condensed expression on the familiar handsome face, Gu Ruoxi shrank back and did not speak.

"Why, I haven't seen you for three days, and you've become dumb?" Xuanyuan Jingxi raised his feet and slowly walked towards Gu Ruoxi.

"Nope!" Gu Ruoxi hurriedly explained, and then closed her mouth again.

Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at her as if she had been wronged, and immediately sneered. Said: "I haven't come for three days, and this king hasn't eaten well for three days!" Hurry up and cook 180 dishes in the kitchen! ”

"Lord Wang, do you want to fill the Han seat? But that's not that much, is it? Gu Ruoxi was startled.

Xuanyuan Jingxi flicked his sleeves coldly, and snorted coldly: "This king doesn't care!" It's called, just do it! When he first saw Gu Ruoxi, he was in a good mood, but he didn't know why, and suddenly it became cold.

What a shady guy! Which tendon is abnormal?

Gu Ruoxi cautiously glanced up at Xuanyuan Jingxi and asked, "Lord Wang." Do you make so much and eat? ”

"Don't worry about that! Just do it! Xuanyuan Jingxi said, and raised his feet and went directly into the main hall.

Circle a fork......

Gu Ruoxi cursed Xuanyuan Jingxi fiercely in his heart, turned around and went to the kitchen.

One hundred and eighty dishes...... When will she be done? Besides, she won't have such a variety of dishes, huh?

As soon as she entered the kitchen door, Gu Ruoxi immediately collapsed to the ground limply, at this moment, she was full of despair about life......

"Blue! I heard that it is back? At this moment, Mo Yun rushed in from outside the door, and when he saw Gu Ruoxi sitting there in a daze, he was surprised and said, "Blue Yi, what's wrong?" Why don't you go and meet the prince? As he spoke, he seemed to have come to his senses, touched his head and said a little embarrassed: "I haven't come for the past two days, and the prince is very angry...... Is this a punishment? ”

Making 180 dishes at once is a punishment, right? Gu Ruoxi thought for a moment. When he nodded at Mo Yun, he snorted.

When Mo Yun saw it, he immediately said quite understandingly: "Alas, I guess it's the same." Then, the prince ordered someone to beat him

, or will it be sold? Or is it to a little guy? ”

What is this? When Gu Ruoxi heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched fiercely: "Lord Wang, that's how he treats the servant girl who made a mistake on weekdays?" ”

"Not really." Mo Yun touched his head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi. asked: "Then, what does the prince want to punish?" ”

Gu Ruoxi immediately lowered his head: "He asked me to do one."

One hundred and eighty dishes. After thinking about it, he said, "Make it in one day." ”

When Mo Yun heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing. He macro acrobatics.

"Laughing at what?" Gu Ruoxi asked puzzled.

Mo Yun straightened his waist, glanced at Gu Ruoxi with a smile, and said: "Lan Yi, I don't know, the reputation has spread, many people know that there is a precious maid by the prince's side, named Lan Yi, who makes a good dish and is very favored by the prince." As he spoke, he paused and said, "Now." There has been a gust of wind in the capital to learn cooking from the boudoir daughter, and the queen mother in the palace is also very curious, she originally planned to go out of the palace to the palace today, but she happened to come back, the prince called one hundred and eighty dishes, which is to be eaten by the queen mother! Well done, the reward is great! ”

"The Queen Mother wants to see me?" Gu Ruoxi was taken aback. Before, she thought that Xuanyuan Jingxi asked her to cook so many dishes to punish her for not returning for three days, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Dowager...... This woman has seen herself! Oh, my God! Will she be a goof?

Gu Ruoxi's hands and feet became cold and cold in an instant.

Mo Yun didn't know anything about this, and said to Gu Ruoxi excitedly: "Lan Yi, don't be in a daze here, since you want to cook, then let's hurry up!" Otherwise, it will be too late, I just happened to practice knife work during this time, and I can just get started......"

That's all there is to it.

Gu Ruoxi was depressed, but he could only nod and said, "Okay, let's start here." ”

She stood up from the ground, looked at the room full of ingredients, and thought about what to cook in her heart, and immediately ordered Mo Yun: "Go, help me find pen and ink." ”

"What do you want pen and ink for?" Mo Yun was a little curious.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at her, sighed and said, "Hey, if you want to make a dish, you have to prepare a menu first, right?" Looking at the list of dishes, it's better than thinking about one, right? ”

When Mo Yun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right!" I'm going to take pen and ink! As he spoke, he turned around and ran out of the smoke.

Who knows, but it just collided with Ziyi.

"What to do? So flustered? Ziyi is a kung fu person, she stabilized her figure, pulled up the ink cloud that fell backwards from the ground, and asked angrily.

"I'm going to get pen and ink, so I can use it for the blue coat's menu!" Mo Yun said, nodded at Ziyi, and immediately ran out again.

Ziyi looked at her helplessly, raised her feet and walked into the kitchen, only to see that Gu Ruoxi was already processing the things in the house.

"Blue clothes, the prince ordered me to come and help." Ziyi said with a smile.

Gu Ruoxi still had a good impression of this woman who had saved her, stood up and nodded at her and said, "What will happen?" ”

Purple blinked innocently

eyes, said: "I can serve food, make tea, and ......"

Gu Ruoxi's head suddenly grew when she heard this, and her feelings were purple and she was also a kitchen rookie? So how dare she call her here? This can't help, and it has to help!

"Ziyi, your strength is to make tea, or will you make tea later?" Gu Ruoxi smiled reluctantly and said.

Ziyi blinked and said, "That should have been my business, and I was here to help." ”

Gu Ruoxi almost wanted to cry: "Ziyi, the kitchen is not so fun, if you get injured or accidentally burn the kitchen......"

The words are not finished, but the meaning is all in them.

When Ziyi heard this, he immediately laughed helplessly: "Lanyi, think I'm here to make trouble?" Don't worry, when I followed the prince in the past, I still made a few pastries, which is definitely more than enough to help. “

Gu Ruoxi thought about it, pastries are so difficult to get, especially when there are so many dishes, she can't take care of it at all, since Ziyi swore that she would, then she asked her to help, why not?

"Okay, be careful." Guruo Creek Road.

Ziyi nodded.

"Blue! The pen and ink are taken! At this moment, Mo Yun's loud voice sounded at the kitchen door, Gu Ruoxi suddenly walked over, stretched out his hand to take the things in Mo Yun's hand, and said, "Hard work." Then he turned and spread out the paper on the table, and after a thought, he wrote it on the paper.

She thought about it for a long time before writing, but once she started writing, it was like flowing water, and in a short period of time, she made a list of more than a dozen dishes.

Mo Yun and Ziyi curiously went up to take a look, and saw that the menu was listed: crystal pork knuckle, Yipin tofu, Sixi balls......

are all very common dishes, Ziyi suddenly frowned, can the Queen Mother like these dishes?

But Mo Yun watched from the side and drooled: "Lan Yi, can you cook these dishes?" Great, I'll have a good mouth in the future......"

"It's the prince who has a mouthful, no!" Ziyi glared at him and said.

Mo Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's the prince who has a mouth! “

Gu Ruoxi ignored the ridicule of the two people around her, she meditated in her heart for a while, and decided to make fifty cold dishes, sixty hot dishes, ten soups, and then sixty snacks. In this way, even if it is enough of the one hundred and eighty dishes that Xuanyuan Jingxi said. With such a huge amount of work, these two people in front of them must help.

It took half an hour for Gu Ruoxi to list all the 160 dishes, and she wrote five or six sheets of paper for the recipes alone.

"Wow! Ziyi, I really listed so many dishes, this menu is not much more than what is in the palace......" Mo Yun glanced at it, and immediately said with emotion. Although the purple clothes are not as exaggerated as him, they are also full of amazement.

Gu Ruoxi sighed heavily

took a breath and said: "This is all forced by the prince, if he doesn't give this order, I can't write so many recipes, okay, let's not waste time, hurry up and prepare!" ”

"Okay!" Mo Yun and Ziyi both nodded, and the three of them suddenly split up in the kitchen and started to get busy. ~#

Xuanyuan Jingxi stood in the courtyard, and through the wide open window of the kitchen, he could see the three people who were busy in the room, and his expressions were very complicated, and he couldn't see the joy or sorrow.

It was a long time before he returned.

Gu Ruoxi didn't know that Xuanyuan Jingxi was paying attention to them outside, she was already busy, in modern times, she claimed to be a chef because she could cook twenty or thirty dishes, but how many pounds and taels she had in her heart was still clear, and now Xuanyuan Jingxi asked her to cook so many dishes, isn't this rushing ducks to the shelves? Fortunately, she used to have nothing to do and liked to study the recipe, otherwise she would have been waiting to die now.

Prepare the difficult meat dishes first, and then prepare the vegetarian dishes, Gu Ruoxi prepared the same according to the menu, at this moment, she didn't think about anything in her heart.

In the evening, the queen mother's chariot stopped at the gate of King Jing's mansion.

But those who came down from inside, in addition to the queen mother, there was actually the emperor.

This made Xuanyuan Jingxi, who came to answer, frown without a trace, but his etiquette still made people unable to find the slightest fault.

Soon, this group of people went to the Qilan Hall in a majestic manner. After taking his seat, the emperor looked at the interior of the palace curiously, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, the blessing of the queen mother." It's my first time here. ”

"Brother Huang has a lot of opportunities, how can he have kung fu to come?" Xuanyuan Jingxi did not answer the rhetorical question.

Although he has just reached the weak crown, but the whole person is handsome, just like a character in a painting, relatively speaking, the emperor looks a lot older, a pair of eyes are shining, and his body is filled with a thick aura, which makes people look at it.
