At this time, outside the Five Princes' Mansion, a sedan chair stopped in front of the door, and Gonggong Wei, who was next to the Queen Mother, walked out of the sedan chair.

"Who's coming?"

"Pass on the Empress Dowager's decree and invite the five princesses to enter the palace."

The palace guards glanced at each other, and said helplessly: "Father-in-law, the princess is not in the mansion now." ”

"Not in the mansion, where is the princess?"

"I don't know if it's a little one, the princess only said that she would go out for a walk, and she didn't say when she would come back, so she only let her father-in-law run for nothing."

Gonggong Wei had to go back empty-handed to restore his life.

Tao Mingxi and Zhu'er were bored sitting in the box, Tao Mingxi had a whim, went out to see the layout of this Yixian Building, and it would be more convenient to come to investigate next time, so she asked Zhu'er to wait for her in the box alone, and she walked out of the box and walked around.

This Yat-sen Building covers an area of nearly 500 square meters, with two floors up and down, and the staircase is in the center, except for a pantry above the staircase, there are boxes of different sizes on the left and right, and the display decorations are different.

Tao Mingxi observed the facilities and devices everywhere while listening to the sound coming from the box.

In some boxes, there are women playing the pipa and singing small songs, some boxes are men pushing cups and changing lamps, and some are quiet, so quiet that she thought there was no one inside, and when she dared to push the door open, she saw a scene that made her jaw drop.

A middle-aged man pressed a younger woman on the couch, both of them were disheveled, and as for mouth-to-mouth wine or something, spicy eyes.

The woman screamed in fright when she noticed someone coming in from outside the door, but Tao Mingxi ran fast, and before the person caught up, she hid back in the box.

As soon as she entered the door, Tao Mingxi closed the door tightly, and she was still worried about the door, for fear of being rushed up and pushed open by others. ”

Tao Mingxi didn't reply, just put her head against the door, listened to the noise outside, and saw that there was no big movement outside for a while, so she finally walked back to her seat with a sigh of relief, sat down and drank the cold tea.

"It's nothing, I just went out and had a casual look, I didn't expect to almost bump into someone else, but it's okay now."

Zhu'er nodded as if she didn't understand, but she was wondering in her heart, could it be that she had bad luck today, why did she encounter so many things as soon as she went out, and she was hurt by that domineering boy just now and lost her clothes, and this time she encountered this again, I have to say that the princess is really making trouble.

Thinking of what happened after she went back, Zhu'er became worried again, "Childe, our baggage is lost, our clothes and jewelry are in it, what should we do when we get out of Yixian Mansion in a while?" ”

"Hey, I've said it all, if you come, you will be safe, not to mention that we just changed our clothes and went back, I have my own way to explain, you don't have to worry, they all say that the food in this Yixian Building is the best in the whole capital, and the most important thing for the two of us now is to prepare for a good meal."

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the box, and then Xue Ziyao pushed the door and walked in.

"The dishes are ready, the two of you are ready to taste them." Xue Ziyao stood at the table and clapped her hands lightly, and instructed the outside: "Serve." ”

The guys outside hadn't walked in yet, but the aroma of the food had already drifted into the house with the wind, and Tao Mingxi and Zhu'er were already swallowing saliva just by smelling the aroma.

"The falling flowers are independent, and the swifts are flying."

Tao Mingxi saw that the plate was indeed made of ingredients, which just responded to the sentence "The falling flowers are independent, and the swifts are flying", but she couldn't see what ingredients were used in it, so she had to ask Xue Ziyao tentatively: "This swallow is made of fungus?" ”

Xue Ziyao shook her head, "It has something to do with fungus, but it's not fungus." ”

"What's that?" Tao Mingxi was not good at cooking originally, and he didn't know a lot of ingredients, so he simply asked her directly.

"This is called ground fungus, we call it snow moss on weekdays, and only the taste of snow is the best."

"And what is this woman's garment made of?" Zhu'er's attention was all on the woman's clothes in the painting.

"It's made by steaming fragrant pork and bamboo shoots and drizzling with boiling juice."

Tao Mingxi looked at the dishes on the plate, smelled the faint fragrance and couldn't help but praise: "I've never cooked before, and it's the first time I've seen you cook like this, so I can only admire it!" ”

"There's more to come." Xue Ziyao said and beckoned the guy to send the next dish.

"Half Jiang, half Jianghong."

This dish also made Tao Mingxi unable to see what ingredients were used, but it was not so delicate than the dish just now, "The falling flowers are independent, and the swifts are flying together", but it seems that there is a thin film on the surface of this dish, which is a bit like jelly.

"You're so good, I can't see what it's made of." Zhu'er gave a thumbs up.

"I have nothing to say, admire and admire, Shopkeeper Xue's cooking skills are simply superb."

Xue Ziyao was used to being praised by others, and she didn't show much pride in the praise of the two of them, but said: "This is what I used to grind the pulp from glutinous rice and konjac, mixed it with bayberry juice, and drew it with blueberries." ”

"Isn't this an ancient version of pudding?" Tao Mingxi felt very fresh and couldn't help but say. I also think it's really strange that there are blueberries here? It simply refreshed her view of antiquity.

"Pudding? What is pudding? Zhu'er was puzzled by this, "Could it be that the patches on the torn clothes are not successful?" Where did the patch come from that looks so good? ”

Tao Mingxi couldn't help laughing when he was amused by Zhu'er's words, "Zhu'er, you're too cute, the pudding I'm talking about is a kind of food similar to this dish, not a patch on a torn clothes." ”

Xue Ziyao heard Tao Mingxi talk about this "pudding", and she was also very puzzled, "This is obviously a dish that I came up with by myself, how can there be the same food as this, could it be that my recipe has been learned?" ”

"No, no, don't worry, I'm talking about a much worse pudding than yours." Tao Mingxi didn't want to make Xue Ziyao feel bad because of the pudding, she just wanted to find a spoon to eat this "half Jiang Se and half Jiang Hong" in a big gulp.

Xue Ziyao was relieved and continued to let people deliver the next dish.

"This is 'the peach blossoms have not seen the east wind bloom'."

Zhu'er looked at this exquisite dish, and was so stunned that she didn't know what to say, but at this moment, Tao Mingxi couldn't help it, and her stomach "growled".

The atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and Tao Mingxi didn't want to slowly guess what these dishes were made of, "Shopkeeper Xue just put all the dishes up, let's talk while eating?" ”
