After saying hello, I went to the back kitchen to serve food.

Some dishes are hot dishes and steamed in a steamer, while others are cold dishes that can be served immediately.

Li Jicai prepared very well and deliberately, and the intention can be conveyed through these dishes.

Of course, Xi Zien was very happy to be able to eat these dishes, because the dishes on this table were the same as the last time, but there were a few things that he had not eaten.

It is also fun to try new dishes made by Lee Ji Chae, and there is also enjoyment, because Lee Ji Chae will not serve unpalatable dishes, except for things with a special and strange taste, of course.

"Guest officer, it's a coincidence that I'm here today, the new dishes launched by Suiyuanju have just been launched, and they haven't been sold yet, I don't know if you want to try it?"

"What's new? Can you eat it? Don't come up with anything weird. Xi Zien wondered.

Chu State does not have the habit of using the word hot pot here, but there are similar foods, but there are still some differences from what Li Jicai made.

"Oh, then try it, if they don't like it, it's okay, I just like it." Xi Zien patted his chest proudly and said.

Li Jicai just wanted to laugh when he heard him say this, but his nose was a little itchy, and his intuition immediately turned around and sneezed.

The sound was loud and particularly embarrassing.

Li Jicai's face and ears immediately turned red, and when she turned around, she saw Luo Lianfang's gloating expression, and she felt even more ashamed, and she didn't dare to look at Qi Qingchu's expression.

"Alas, boss, what are you doing with so little in winter? My family is crazy and poor, and I can't afford to buy clothes, can I wear something thick? Although Xi Zien's words were squeezing Li Jicai, his words were full of concern.

Li Jicai, who listened, felt warm in his heart, and then raised his head and arched his hand at him: "Hometown etiquette, bear with me, don't be surprised." ”

Hometown etiquette? What hometown etiquette can make people wear such thin clothes to receive guests in winter? Xi Zien felt a little puzzled, so he could only think that Li Jicai was talking nonsense.

"Where is your hometown?" Qi Qingchu asked abruptly, which attracted everyone's attention.

Li Jicai was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "Small place, small place." "That means even if I say it, you don't know.

Qi Qingchu stared at her, her eyes didn't blink, Jinzhou is not a small place.

Jinzhou in Jiangnan is very rich, Qi Qing has been to Jiangnan several times, and he knows the customs and customs of Jiangnan very well.

There is no such custom at all, this person is lying.

Moreover, this person has the habit of alien race, and he has formed a relationship with this old lady of foreign race Fan who was originally in the capital, and more importantly, she led the third prince of Yan Kingdom to the capital.

This person was originally just a maid, her parents did not die at all, she was resold into the Jiang family, she grew up in the Jiang family after the age of eight, and after a few months with the old lady Fan, Qi Qingchu did not think that she could learn all the interracial habits of the old lady Fan, so there must be something wrong with this person, but no further content has been found so far.

From the beginning, this man was full of lies.

Qi Qingchu wondered if this person was a different person, and wondered if she was from Yan Kingdom, so she was specially sent to take care of Li Jiye.

Otherwise, how to explain that when they were begging in their most difficult time, they all survived with Li Jiye.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

Qi Qingchu initially paid attention to Li Jiye, and later paid attention to this store and paid attention to Li Jicai, and the more things he saw, the more doubts he saw, the more speculation, and the more precautions and temptations.

Li Jiye's mansion has been decided, and His Majesty specially rewarded it, which is less than half a street away from Qi Mansion.

Of course, this is also Qi Qingchu's own initiative to request, so as to facilitate monitoring.

Qi Qingchu's face did not change, and when he heard that Li Jicai didn't want to answer or dwell on it, he shook the teacup in his hand, estimated that his speech was almost warm, and then drank it all in one gulp, eliminating all his emotions between the corners of his lips.

Today, it is not advisable to drink alcohol.

"Boss, you have this wine today......"

Li Jicai didn't wait for Xi Zien to speak, and immediately said: "It's not sour, it's not sour." ”

Xi Zien laughed, then shook his head and said, "I want to praise you, that's good, bring two more altars." ”

"Hey! Okay! Li Jicai also smiled brightly, and then turned around and went back to the counter to get the wine.

"It seems that Mr. Xi has a good relationship with the proprietress of the proprietor." Luo Lianfang said meaningfully.

But her heart was secretly angry, what do you mean?

Xi Zien brought Qi Qingchu over and brought her with him, could it be that he wanted to expose the fact that he deliberately embarrassed this store?

Xi Zien has always had a nickname for being a well-informed person in the court, and some people exaggerate that there is nothing he can't find out, and no one knows what the source of his information is.

However, Luo Lianfang has never liked Xi Zien, and it can be said that he doesn't like anyone who gets too close to Qi Qingchu.

Luo Lianfang only thought that the store that Qi Qing came to when she first came was called Suiyuanju, and the owner was a woman, so she wanted to let this store collapse.

Who knew that this female boss still had a relationship with Xi Zien, and it seemed that the relationship was not bad, heh.

Luo Lianfang was already 100% sure that Xi Zien definitely knew her movements.

Intentionally guiding them in the first place, didn't it?

It is likely that Qi Qingchu was also invited to the Xi Mansion, so what happened later.

Luo Lianfang looked at Xi Zien with some vigilance, and unconsciously tightened her sleeves.

"That's the guy who's eaten a few times in the store, right? Sunny beginning. Xi Zien did not forget to pull Qi Qingchu into the water.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt bad, and Luo Lianfang's eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion when he looked at him.

No, according to the plan, it's not like this, it's obviously not his problem, and it seems like he's in charge now.

Qi Qingchu bowed slightly, affirming Xi Zien's words.

But how Xi Zien thinks about it is still weird.

Oh, what kind of is this?

If it weren't for Luo Lianfang's troublesome identity and always wanting to live with fate, he wouldn't be so troublesome, he just had nothing to do.

But Luo Lianfang is not a fool, now people seem to see it clearly, and they can see that it was him who did it.

What should I do? Offended people, hey!

Xi Zien looked at Li Jicai with a sad face, and silently told his bitterness.

Unfortunately, Lee was not able to understand what he meant.

After waiting for a while, Li Jicai returned to the back kitchen, took two wet rags and put them on the stove.

She first brought a charcoal stove to the table, and then brought the mandarin duck pot to it.

Because there is no modern equipment, she can't control the size of the fire freely, but the good charcoal she bought is smokeless, won't smoke people, and will burn for a while, and it should not be a problem to be able to blanch the dishes she has prepared, even if they eat very slowly.

The three people at the table had their own thoughts, and Li Jicai came up with the pot.

Half of it is floating with chili peppers, and half of it is clear soup with little water.

A good pot is divided into two parts.

It does seem quite novel.

"What is this?" Xi Zien couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he saw what Li Jicai brought up, this, he had never seen this, is there anything like this?

Li Jicai had a slightly proud smile on her face, to be honest, she didn't expect that she could replicate the hot pot in ancient times.

Fortunately, I learned a little when I was working in a restaurant, and I saw how the master made the base material, and the rest was just shabu-shabu.

It's very simple, it's also delicious, she secretly tasted the hot pot base herself, although it's not as delicious as modern times, but it can be more or less a five, be conservative.

"Li Jicai, can you eat this? Why don't you serve us the soup? Xi Zien couldn't hold back, he had already asked in advance, he was very curious about how to eat such a pot of soup divided into two parts? He also put a charcoal pot on top of the pot, what does this mean?

"Don't worry about Xi Gongzi, you'll know later." After Li Jicai firmly fixed the pot on the charcoal basin, he turned back to the back kitchen, took the tray casually, and put the dishes that were to be washed one by one, in order to prevent them from not having enough to eat.

She put some noodles on them, all of them were hand-rolled by herself, which was very strong and really delicious.

The three of them watched Li Jicai carefully after he was busy, and after all the dishes were ready, Li Jicai took care of himself, because he was busy, so his clothes were a little messy.

She felt a little dizzy, and she kept dripping water and snot because it was so cold.

"The dishes are ready, everyone use them slowly, this pot in the middle is still burning, put the dishes you like to eat in it, and it's okay to blanch them."

Li Jicai made a slight introduction, and then retreated to the side, with a respectful smile on his face.

Luo Lianfang's expression was a little cold, what bells and whistles? It's just a meal, just get some dishes at will, such a gimmick, heh.

"What's the name of this pot? Why haven't I eaten it before? You have a new dish again, and you don't say a word. ”

"This pot is called Mandarin Duck Pot." originally wanted to talk about hot pot, but Li Jicai turned a corner, and then said the word mandarin duck pot.

No matter how you listen to it, you can feel that it means something.

Luo Lianfang's eyes looked at Li Jicai even more unkindly, because she found that Li Jicai's attention was on Qi Qingchu intentionally or unintentionally, including when she spoke, she also cared very much about his reaction.

Slut, is anyone she can think of?

Oh? Why is it called mandarin duck pot? Xi Zien adhered to the principle of asking if he didn't understand, as if he didn't see Luo Lianfang's somewhat gloomy face.

"Because it's half clear soup and half spicy, the person who took the name of this song called it Mandarin Duck Pot for the sake of sounding good, but it was actually called hot pot."

"I see, okay, then I'll try it first." Xi Zien took a slice of meat with chopsticks, then put it in the spicy pot, then turned his head and asked, "Is that so?" ”

Li Jicai nodded vigorously, then immediately turned around, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, trembled all over, and sneezed.
