"Today's dish, in fact, is made by a friend of Xiaguan, this is called preserved eggs, which is to wash the duck eggs, and then use alkali, salt, quicklime, and plant ash to prepare the ingredients, evenly spread on the duck eggs, and wait for two months to get the next egg. This egg is colorful, the taste is refreshing, it can be mixed cold, it can be cooked porridge, if the two of you like it, I will let her make it tomorrow. "This Nine Princes Nan Jinxing's reputation is very bad, and Chen Xiuli is privately unwilling to let Hua Manxi show up, so he tells it eloquently.

"I didn't expect Lord Chen to be well versed in the way of eating, this dish, this preserved egg, neither I nor the Nine Princes have tasted it, this Shishan County is really a good place." Shen Shao smiled and groaned, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of preserved egg and chewed it slowly in his mouth, and said slowly, "Accompanied by white vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, a little sugar, and chili peppers, refreshing and greasy, sour and spicy and delicious, with a long aftertaste, it is indeed a rare delicacy, Lord Chen, this friend should be extremely good at cooking, right?" Looking at the plating, delicate and elegant, I want to come to Lord Chen's friend, or a girl's house, right? Isn't it Lord Chen's confidante? ”

When Shen Shao said this, he paused, raised his eyes, and a pair of narrow and brilliant peach blossom eyes suddenly looked at Chen Xiuli with burning eyes.

"Haha, so that's the case, no wonder Lord Chen can know so much about this dish, the explanation is the first to be true, it turns out to be a lot of ears." Nan Jinxing heard Shen Shao make fun of Chen Xiuli like this, and immediately laughed.

Chen Xiuli's face did not change, he still looked respectful and honest, and said in a continuous voice: "Lord Shen said that she was laughing, she was not a confidante of the lower officials, but a friend with a good relationship, and she had already made a marriage." ”

"It's time to get married, it seems that Lord Chen is a little late." Who is Shen Shao? When he was a teenager, he was already the champion of Kyoto, immersed in the court officialdom for more than ten years, and has always held the central power, although he is only in his early thirties, but he is scheming, difficult to think, and extremely shrewd.

No matter how calm Chen Xiuli was, the loneliness that flashed in his eyes couldn't hide it.

Chen Xiuli was so teased by him, but he didn't hide it, but his face was slightly red, and he focused on eating again, and said: "Lord Shen said that he laughed, the two of them came after a long journey, they should be hungry, hurry up and eat some hot porridge, and this dish of small yellow croaker and fried flower nails are all specialties of Shishan County, two of you can try it?" ”

Here, Chen Xiuli dealt with these two old foxes like pins and needles, but Yao Xiaofeng ran back to the kitchen in despair.

Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi were still stealing the snacks she made in the kitchen, and they were shocked when they saw her running back like a ghost.

"Chef Yao, what's wrong with you? This hand, ouch, why did this hand hurt like this? Wang Shishi almost didn't choke on a piece of pastry in her mouth, quickly patted her chest and asked urgently.

"This injury, did you break something, didn't disturb the guests?" Hua Manxi also asked.

Yao Xiaofeng's originally pale expression slowly turned a little bloody after seeing these two people, she shook her head, and suddenly knelt down in front of Hua Manxi and Wang Shishi with a pop.

"I'm sorry, Miss Wang, Chef Hua, I may be leaving, I, I really like you-" Yao Xiaofeng said with tears in her eyes and sobbing eyes.

"Say what, say what? Hurry up and bandage your hands. Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi helped Yao Xiaofeng up.

"No, there's no time, I-" Yao Xiaofeng held Hua Manxi's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "The distinguished guest who came to the mansion this time is the person I offended, he, he is very powerful, he is the prince of Kyoto, my brother owes him a debt in the gambling house, and he used me to pay off the debt, I secretly ran away myself, he knows me, I'm afraid—I'm afraid of affecting you!" I'll just say goodbye to you, and I'll sneak away. ”

"Lord Wang? What kind of official is the prince? Wang Shishi couldn't come back to her senses for a while, and looked at Hua Manxi, who didn't know much about it, so she shook her head.

"He, he is the best brother of the prince today, the ninth prince, the queen's most favored youngest son, he has always liked to eat, drink and have fun, and he also likes to play with women-" Yao Xiaofeng said this, and the whole person trembled.

"That brother of yours is a bastard, I'll chop him up for you!" Wang Shishi was angry when she mentioned Yao Dalong, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, he doesn't know that you are here, you go to Manxi's house to avoid the limelight first, I won't be on the stove these days, and I'll talk about it when that bastard leaves." Wang Shishi comforted.

"Yes, don't be afraid, it's not safe for you to go out alone, what if you happen to run into it?" Hua Manxi also persuaded.

"But I'm afraid—I'm afraid of my brother, he's also here, if he meets the Nine Princes, if he wants to live, he will definitely come looking for me! I'm afraid that it will affect you-" Yao Xiaofeng was really frightened at this meeting, and his sleeves were so deformed that he almost cried.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll send someone to find your bastard brother now, and let him take him to the desert island to grow tomatoes, you first secretly go to Manxi's house to live for a while, don't panic, we won't leave you." Wang Shishi has always been smart and decisive, and she will not lose Huamanxi, so she will decide right away.

Where has Yao Xiaofeng been treated like this? Immediately moved to tears, looked at Wang Shishi fixedly, and choked up: "Miss Wang, if I can be safe this time, I will definitely make you a cow and a horse for a lifetime." ”

"Alright, alright, you can go back with Manxi first." Wang Shishi waved her hand and said, "The pastry has fallen, there is still something left here, I will see what kind of demon and monster this Nine Princes is for a while!" ”

"Then be careful and smart." Hua Manxi glanced at Wang Shishi and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, if I'm not clever, where are there clever people in the entire Shishan County?" Wang Shishi patted her chest and reassured, then urged Hua Manxi to take Yao Xiaofeng out of the back door, she packed up some snacks, put them on plates, and went to the dining room again.

Hua Manxi has not done anything bad, although this is not a bad thing, but it is inevitable that he is a little nervous, and when he went out with Yao Xiaofeng, he met a subordinate to greet him, and he was reluctant to respond, for fear that a person with a big mouth would shake Yao Xiaofeng out.

However, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

She finally came to the back door in hiding, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly a familiar and underbeaten voice sounded.

"Chef Hua, what are you doing sneaking around like this? Could it be that he stole the ingredients of Wang's Mansion and wanted to have a supper alone? "Although Qin Baiting is related to the Nine Princes, according to his seniority, he still has to call the Nine Princes a cousin, and he has been at odds with Nan Jinxing since he was a child, so he has to entertain him, so he will be angry when he thinks about it.

And not only did he come this time, but he also brought Shen Shao's old fox with him! This Shen Shao, although he looks smiling on the surface, is just ruthless and vicious, and the officials in Kyoto all talk about this little man's change of color!

Moreover, Qin Baiting and Shen Shao still have personal enmity!

This has to start with the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Shao is the proud protégé of the old prime minister, and he has grown into that troubled water, how can the prime minister's daughter, how could he be willing to seek the near and far and fall in love with him! All of this is Shen Shao's ghost! He himself doesn't look down on the prime minister's daughter, so he wants to cause trouble, and wants to marry himself!

These two people are not good people, Qin Baiting is straight, so he found an excuse and came out, but he was not familiar with the place, although the food street outside was brightly lit and the fragrance was wafting, but he didn't take himself to play, so he could only watch from the porch at the back door.

I don't want to, when I was bored, Hua Manxi came out with Yao Xiaofeng!

Where did Hua Manxi think that he was hiding in front and behind, and there was a sudden sound on the porch, which immediately frightened a spirit!

As soon as she looked up, she happened to see Qin Baiting's smile.

"Master Qin! Did you know that people can be scared to death? Isn't there something wrong with you? If you don't leave such a big place as Wangfu, what are you going to do on the porch! Hua Manxi really wanted to take off the shoes on his feet and fall on his face.

"Ouch, isn't that boring? What are you doing here? Qin Baiting turned over and came down from the porch, looking at his skills were still good.

"I-shh ”

Qin Baiting's eyes swept away, "Ouch, it's you, just because you broke the plate, you have to sleep in the firewood room, ouch, your hand hasn't been bandaged yet, master, here is the best medicine for injuries, take it and bandage it." ”

Qin Baiting recognized Yao Xiaofeng at a glance as the one who broke the dish at the door just now and pushed him and fled, and took out a bottle of imperial medicine and handed it to Yao Xiaofeng.

Yao Xiaofeng kept his head down, for fear that Qin Baiting would see his appearance, but he didn't expect him to recognize him, and his heart suddenly panicked, took a step back, and hid behind Hua Manxi, not daring to reach out to receive Qin Baiting's injury medicine.

"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that she is a maid and has never seen anything in the world, Master Qin, don't scare her." Hua Manxi took a step forward, took the wound medicine in Qin Baiting's hand, and said with a low smile, "If there is nothing wrong, we will go back first." ”

"Chef Hua, what you said hurt a little bit, why did I scare her, although I can't compare to Shen Shao's old fox, but I'm also a handsome young man, right?" Qin Xiaoye was not convinced.

"Yes, Master Qin, you are a beautiful young man in Yushu, and you can't sleep at night when you take a self-portrait in the mirror." Hua Manxi sneered.

"What do you mean?" Qin Baiting was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Hua Manxi in a bit of a daze.
