Chapter 110: The crab becomes a spirit
Looking for Xue Shen to heal his leg again? Xu Kai felt that every pore of his body was full of rejection, and he felt that he was calculated by the black prince of his family, so he made a suggestion in a hurry: "Since the prince values it so much, why don't you accompany the princess to go with him?" The prince's arrow wound may as well be taken by Doctor Xue. ”
I wanted to go with her, but I was rejected by them...... Mu Yunsong sighed secretly, "I, I'm busy with military affairs, and I don't have skills." You must protect the princess well, and if you come back without a hair......"
Xu Kai heard the threat of "next year's day is your anniversary" from the words of his prince, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates obey the order, and they will protect the princess to death." ”
"It's not enough to die, but ......" Mu Yunsong felt that with Su Qi's troublesome temperament, it was not easy to be her guard, "If she has any outrageous behavior, she just needs to protect her safety, let her play tricks, and report to me when she comes back." The corners of his lips hooked, and his eyes were sly, "I want to know what the hell this girl is thinking about going to Tanzhe Temple." ”
The indulgent pampering on his face when he spoke made Xu Kai really uncomfortable: his prince has really fallen ......"
Su Qi left Mu Yunsong's study and rushed all the way back to Yunshui Pavilion, only to realize that the small kitchen in her courtyard was poor and white, and there was nothing to grow except for a few pieces of dim sum sent by the Manji Sugar Water Shop.
The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, which is the situation now. Su Qi was fiddling with a few taels of silver in his purse with a painful face, considering that he went to the market to buy some fruits, vegetables, fish and meat and came back, Pomegranate made a pertinent suggestion: "What materials are not in the dining hall of our palace?" Since the princess was preparing dinner for the princess, the slave maid went to the dining hall to ask for some ingredients. ”
Hearing that he could save money, Su Qi was overjoyed, and immediately sent the pomegranate to the dining hall.
Pomegranate came to the dining hall with a dustpan, but saw that the rough maids and grandmothers in the dining hall were standing timidly, and after inquiring, they knew that Mrs. Mu was discussing inside.
Pomegranate didn't know much about this "second master" of the palace, Mrs. Mu, but she knew that her status was humble and she didn't dare to make a mistake, and when she saw that Mrs. Mu was talking to Mama Cui, the steward of the dining hall, she had to wait silently.
Mrs. Mu listened to Mama Cui finish the accounts of the dining hall, and explained a few things slowly and methodically, and then took a few sips of tea leisurely, and saw the pomegranate standing on the side: "Which girl is this?" The pestle is like a wooden stake. ”
Pomegranate stood so numb at this time, listening to Mrs. Mu's question, she hurriedly laughed and said, "Mrs. Yu, I am the maid pomegranate of Yunshui Pavilion." My princess is going to have dinner for the prince tonight, and let me come to the dining hall to get some fish, meat, vegetables and fruits. ”
"Princess?" Mrs. Mu dipped her lips in a handkerchief, "I haven't heard that my sister-in-law wants to have dinner." ”
"Not the princess," Pomegranate said, bowing her head, "yes...... Princess Su of Yunshui Pavilion. ”
When she said "Princess Su", she heard Mrs. Mu let out an undisguised sneer, "That girl surnamed Su?" Scold...... What kind of princess is she? ”
Seeing that his master was slandered, Pomegranate was secretly annoyed in his heart, and thought about it: "Madam, the prince personally arranged that he would have dinner in Yunshui Pavilion tonight, this matter is true, and it cannot be delayed, you see ......"
Mrs. Mu felt a little angry in her heart: now that their mother and daughter are living in the palace, to put it bluntly, they rely on Mu Yunsong to live. She wanted to marry her daughter Yunge to Mu Yunsong, but not only did people look down on her, but she picked up a wild girl from outside and came back to raise her.
Yesterday, her daughter Yunge cried a lot when she came back from Qiwu Courtyard, saying that because Su Qi framed her, she was reprimanded by her cousin, and her face fell to the ground.
This fox didn't know what tricks she used to seduce Mu Yunsong and come to her yard for dinner!
Mrs. Mu is about to explode!
But...... If she doesn't give this ingredient, with Mu Yun's soft and hard temperament, she can't afford to blame it.
Mrs. Mu's face turned pale for a while, and she was seen by the housekeeper Cui Mama, so she thought about it and said to Mrs. Mu: "Madam, since Miss Su is in charge of the prince's meal, I am afraid that ordinary fish, meat and vegetables will not be able to enter the eyes of the prince." ”
"What do you mean?"
Mama Cui said with a sly smile: "Madame knows, the old ghost of our family, Cui, was ordered to pick up and just came back, and brought back a lot of rare products from the north and south......"
"What the hell is this?"
Su Qi rubbed his eyes, looked at the large dustpan ingredients that Pomegranate brought back from the canteen, and felt that he had eaten all the food for more than ten years.
She reached out and poked the back shell of a big red giant crab, realizing that this was the only guy she knew in the dustpan, but it was a hundred times bigger than the little crab she caught in the basket in the stream, staring at a pair of black bean eyes, and looking quite unkind.
"Good girl, have you become a sperm?"
The "crab essence" was poked by her and was quite impatient, and suddenly attacked a pair of large pincers, which was narrowly and dangerously avoided by Su Qi. The pomegranate on the side was full of fear, and on the way here, he was accidentally slapped by this guy, and his fingers were broken.
The crab essence was too scary, Su Qishen felt guilty, and turned to play a round thing with meat, thinking it was a strange-looking mushroom, but the "mushroom" of the clinker shook suddenly, scaring her to the back of her neck.
The meat and fishy creatures were all like ghosts, and she didn't dare to touch them again, so she had to pick up a cyan and angular thing, and hold it up to study it with pomegranate grapes.
"Princess, is this a vegetable, or a fruit?" Grape asked curiously.
Su Qi naturally couldn't answer, so he simply avoided the important and confirmed to Pomegranate: "These are all things that the prince likes to eat?" ”
"Yes." Pomegranate looked determined, "Mrs. Mu and the canteen steward Cui Mama both said yes, the slave maid thought, the dignified prince, I haven't eaten anything from the mountains and seas, and the taste is naturally a little different." ”
It's a little bit different...... Su Qi looked at this strangely shaped and unaware ingredient basket, and suddenly realized that in the few months in Dongfeng Town, this prince didn't know how much he had been wronged.
"Oh, there is another one, which is specially recommended by the canteen, saying that the prince is good for beating children." Pomegranate said, handing a sealed white porcelain jar to Su Qi.
The prince's favorite? What is it? Su Qi was curious, and reached out to open the lid of the jar......
A moment later, Su Qi and Pomegranate Grape rushed out of the door and stood in the courtyard retching for a while.
"What is this?!" Grape couldn't help but ask, "It's fishy and smelly, isn't it rancid?" ”
Pomegranate endured the discomfort in her stomach and waved her hand again and again: "Cui Mama said that this thing is a specialty of Huizhou, it is called stinky mandarin fish, it smells stinky and tastes good." said that because the prince liked it, he sent people all the way from Huizhou to bring it. ”
"Oh......" Grape didn't dare to say anything, looking at his own princess, who was leaning against the wall and vomiting, he suddenly felt a little compassion: In the future, the princess and the princess will become relatives, if the princess eats such a thing every once in a while, he will sleep in the same bed with the princess...... Tsk, the princess is really not having a good time.
"Princess, can you do these things?" For the dustpan ingredients brought back by himself, Pomegranate had no confidence in his heart.
I've never even seen this strange bunch of ghosts, let alone do it...... Su Qi sighed silently, and was about to shake his head, but saw her grapes poke the pomegranate with disdain: "What you asked, the princess has traveled south and north since she was a child, she has never seen any rare things, and she has never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas, these things are what the prince loves to eat, how can the princess not do them?" ”
"Uh......" You really look up to me, Su Qi couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he also found a little confidence from her words, "This cooking, although the ingredients in the north and south are different, but the method is always the same: green vegetables, fruits and vegetables are fried cold, meat and seafood should be stewed and burned, and I didn't run away." ”
After that, he turned back to the house and picked up the dustpan that he didn't know how to feel, and raised his head heroically: "Go!" Let me cook! ”
Mu Yunsong held a jar of green plum brew and came to the door of Yunshui Pavilion in the moonlight, and his mood was very happy.
He has lived in the palace for more than 20 years, and he is accustomed to seeing the lanterns and candles at dusk, and eating the routine dishes carefully prepared in the dining hall every day, but he never imagined that he would be so looking forward to a lamp waiting for him, a bowl of hot crucian carp soup, and a smiling and smiling person waiting to praise and invite merit.
Ever since he met her by chance, he has aroused a longing for home that he has never had.
Mu Yunsong paused at the door, carefully sorted out his outfit, and stepped into the door.
"Lord Wang!" When the two pomegranate grape maids saw that the prince was coming to the appointment, they all bowed their knees and bowed, and then they retreated in acknowledgment.
Mu Yunsong walked into the main hall, and saw that there were one large and four small porcelain plates on the table of the eight immortals in the center of the hall, all of which were carefully buckled with bowls, and there were two bowls, chopsticks and cups next to it, and the delicate girl was holding her cheeks with her hands, just like she used to be at the old wooden table in Huimuzhai, waiting for him to eat.
How familiar and heartwarming is this scene...... Mu Yunsong was just a little puzzled: she looked at the dishes she cooked, and that righteous and awe-inspiring expression meant a few things.
Hearing a light cough, Su Qi came back to his senses and put on a smile on his face: "The prince is here?" You may be seated! ”
He smiled and handed the celadon bottle in his hand to her: "Your favorite plum wine, there is no drug." ”
There is a trace of regret: if you add a little more, wouldn't all your troubles be solved?
Su Qi knew that he was making fun of her drinking plum wine and being drugged, so he glanced at him coquettishly, thought about it and expressed his guilt for a long time: "I didn't know the taste of the prince before, and when I was in Dongfeng Town, I made you feel wronged." ”
Mu Yunsong thought that she was referring to the days when she was poor in Dongfeng Town, and often had no rice to cook, so she smiled softly: "With you sharing weal and woe, I don't feel wronged." ”
That's good, Su Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and happily announced: "It's not early, let's start dinner!" After that, he reached out to uncover the bowl of the dish, and carefully added, "It's the first time I've been cooking in the palace, and my craftsmanship is not good, if it doesn't suit the prince's appetite, please forgive me." ”
When did this girl become so polite...... Mu Yunsong smiled: "I've even eaten the rice I cooked, what else can't I swallow......
Before he finished speaking, he looked at the four dishes in front of him that he didn't know how to speak, and suddenly felt that he had said it too early.
