The ninth princess Ayi, her face was silent, so as not to quarrel with her husband, in fact, she planned in her heart to invite the owner of the Xianlou that day, Hua Manxi, to the house, and first 'talk', if you can't talk, you naturally have a way to talk about it. She looks like a northern style, and she is not loved by the Nine Kings at all, I am afraid that she will only be kissed twice when she is drunk. But she has not been frightened or annoyed, and she is not willing to leave.

She had a foreign maid named Xiao Shi, who was blind in one eye, and half of her face was covered with bangs on weekdays, and occasionally the wind blew, and she seemed to be able to catch a glimpse of this horrible scene. The rest of the maids were very sad under Ayi's hands, although when this princess was fine, she was not as brutal as the Nine Kings, but it could not be said that she was connected with some good-tempered noblewomen in the capital, in short, she was an eccentric character.

Xiao Shi was putting a snack plate for her at this time, and said in a hoarse voice: "I persuaded you to go back earlier, what are you doing in Nanyang, just to make him look good?" He took your stuff at the time, unintentionally or unintentionally, without knowing it. Ayi shook her head, her official language was much better than Xiao Shi's, but she still had a little tongue curl, so she said slowly, word by word: "I swore that he didn't know, didn't the heavens know, didn't the earth know?" Go find that Mrs. Xu. ”

Xiao Shi listened for a while, then shook his head and said: "I can't invite her, she is Xu Jinfei's woman, and now that he has not unloaded his military power, his emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and everyone will never mention him, but they don't dare to despise him." If this sick tiger is pulled out one day, it will be the time for him to die. Ayi glanced at her, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, since I can't come, I'll just go and see her." It's always your own man, and you have to take care of it. ”

Ayi sat in a red carriage and went to Tianxian Building to see the flowers and rivers. Nan Jinxing went out of the city to hunt at this time, and the people were not in the building. She went up to the fourth floor, and the ladies of the capital suddenly dispersed. Hua Manxi sent a lady who had recently met to the top of the stairs, and said in a low and soft voice: "Why do you need to go?" She didn't say that she wanted to charter the venue, thinking that it wouldn't take up too much space. If you don't like it, just go farther away, or go to the third floor to sit down, and then go to the lotus boat next door. ”

The noble lady has a gentle personality, she is the main room of a Guanglu doctor, in addition to eating and drinking snacks and gossiping, when she is in the mood, she is also willing to learn to cook with Hua Manxi, so she stroked her sideburns and was very embarrassed: "Sister, it's not that I don't appreciate your face." You know best what kind of friendship we usually have. It's just that the nine princesses have a strange temper, and they are the most difficult to handle. Sometimes I do it, it's scary. Come back another day, come back another day. ”

Since she said this, Hua Manxi naturally didn't embarrass her, but nodded and sent people out of the pavilion. Looking at the window from a distance, I saw a woman getting down from the carriage, it was the hot season, but she was not dressed coolly, and even had some fur on her shoulders, which did look a little strange. However, she opened the door to pick up customers, what she did was business, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and she still had to meet before she knew how to accept it.

The Ninth Princess slowly ascended the stairs, went up to the fifth floor in a row, calmly glanced at the exquisite new menu, and said casually: "Have one of them, you can't finish eating and packing." Hua Manxi smiled dumbly, and then bowed slightly. In her own heart, in addition to a few more identities, such as Xu Jinfei's wife, she still feels that she is a cook. If this princess asks for one hundred and eight dishes, and she can't finish eight dishes, she may refuse directly.

But packing—to be honest, I've only heard from the guests on the first and second floors. Ayi sat not very upright, leaning back on the comfortable pineapple wooden chair, her eyes scanning the flowers back and forth. Although there is no malice, it is still sharp-eyed, like a thorn, which makes people uncomfortable. Hua Manxi was indifferent, looked straight back and said, "There are a few expensive dishes, if I do it myself, it should be more delicious." Guests sit here for a while, and I'll come as I go. ”

Ayi waved her fingers, and Xiao Shi silently moved one, blocking her way. Ayi said slowly: "There is a big difference between what others do and what you do." But I'm not here to eat, so I don't care. If you must make one yourself, you can bring it to me and I'll watch you do it. ”

Hua Manxi frowned, feeling that this woman was really strange, and her words were very polite, but if she wanted to say that she was malicious, there was no fluctuation for the time being. As if guessing what she was thinking, the nine princesses smiled, and could only be regarded as a trace of cunning on their delicate faces, and looked up and down a few more times before saying, "I like to look at people, whether they are men or women." Old people, still children, as long as they are good-looking, I like them. Speaking of which, Nan Jinxing is really a layman, he eats and drinks here every day, and he doesn't dare to go back and tell me that he wants to grab a concubine back. ”

All the women who snatched back the house, some died, some were let go, and those who didn't want to live would always hit her on the muzzle, no matter when they met. Ayi looked up and saw a small piece of sky. Today's weather is clear, and a small square green tile on the roof has been removed, revealing a lot of sunlight. It's a wonderful design, I'll get one when I go back to the house.

Ayi changed her posture and leaned, Hua Manxi couldn't tell what path she was, so she simply waved her hand and really asked the kitchen to come up with a set of kitchen utensils. The current dignitaries and nobles are just fresh and curious, and this is not a particularly out-of-the-ordinary requirement. However, it was impossible to get the stove up, so I only got a slender oven. In the row below are buried a few half-cooked purple potatoes, potatoes. Hua Manxi calmly brushed the oil and sauce in front of the stares, turning it up and down.

Not to mention the summer heat, this fire is not popular, with their ice drinks and desserts from Tianxian Building, it still has a different taste when you bite into it! In addition to the usual sauces, Hua Manxi also brewed some new partridge wine a few days ago, and now it can be taken out. Ayi's expression moved slightly, sniffed and said, "Partridge wine? It's a pity that it was brewed this spring, and it is okay to cook, but it is not good to drink. ”

Hua Manxi looked calm, flipped the barbecue with both hands, and prepared a stove next to it to make potato and pork ribs stewed rice, and the best pale yellow fragrant rice was selected, who eats who knows. The princess had nothing to do, looking at the singer who was relieved in the distance in the fragrance of wine and rice, and hummed softly. What I sang today is a Liangzhou song, which is less charming and lingering, but more desolate and spacious.

Unlike Hua Manxi's expectations, this princess has not said a word, made it difficult for her, or ignored her since she started cooking. Finally, with a wave of his hand, he motioned for the woman who played the dulcimer to come, borrowed her instrument, plucked the strings herself, and sang a strange tune. The voice was hoarse and old, almost not like a woman, but like a lame old soldier at the border, watching the sunset on the Great Wall, strange and desolate, vast.

Hua Manxi's heart moved slightly, and she felt that this princess could be regarded as a strange woman. After Ayi finished singing, she reached out to her to ask for the partridge wine that could not be done, and took a sip before starting to eat. She lowered her chopsticks very quickly, her teeth were sharp, and she crunched when she bit down, not like she was eating, but like she was chewing bones. A piece of fragrant pork ribs went into her mouth, and only a few bits and pieces of stubble came out. Xiao Shi half-knelt down, and directly reached out to grab the purple potato from the coal.

Hua Manxi was taken aback and wanted to hand her a special silver wire heat-insulating glove, but she looked calm, continued to peel off Ayi's skin, grabbed another bamboo chopstick, strung it up and handed it to the hostess. Hua Manxi was so busy that her forehead was sweating slightly, although this princess was only one person, the amount of food was much larger than she imagined. Unlike the big appetites that she keeps in her store to attract customers and comment on chefs, she always feels that this Nine Princesses seems to have a lot on her mind.

She's just a restaurant here, and she only cooks and collects cash. No matter how much of the rest, asking and talking, it is all wrong. Hua Manxi's expression was calm, and after Ayi finished eating, he suddenly said lightly: "If I want Nan Jinxing to stop coming here in the future, will you agree?" Hua Manxi was taken aback, I thought she was going around in circles, today is at most just an autumn breeze, looking at the scene, but I didn't expect to say it.

But she thought about it, shook her head with a smile and said, "I don't agree." I opened the door to do business, and I had no reason to refuse the Nine Princes before he committed a crime, and he never gave him credit. Hua Manxi said this, and naturally has his own reasoning. Although she doesn't like this Nan Jinxing, but his power is not small, even if she has a lotus tongue and finds a good reason to reject the nine kings, I am afraid that in the future, there will be hardships and revenge.

Ah Yi closed her eyes, lay back on the chair, and said softly: "You are Xu Jinfei's woman, I won't let you die, but I won't let you open this restaurant again." Xiaoshi, you went and abolished her right hand so that she could no longer cook. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hua Manxi was shocked, she had seen a lot of ministers and nobles, and she had never seen such a disagreement about it. The most terrifying thing is that even if she said this, there was no melancholy and apology in her tone, only a faint regret. The small stone sleeved robe was bulging, windless and automatic, and a cluster of bangs flew on the side of her face, smiling at her.

"Girl, have you ever seen hell?"

I don't know if she's seen it, but Danyun hasn't seen it anyway. He was still at the staircase with the tray, and when he heard this, the whole person was already like an arrow from the string, and he rushed to the front of Xiao Shi. When Xiao Shi took a step forward, he had already picked up the tray and slapped it out with his palm.

Xiao Shi's eyes lit up, his hands were folded into a strange circle, and he said plainly: "It turns out that there are good hands here, offended." Danyun's feet swirled sharply, like a circle of Tai Chi, and with one hand, she took a step behind her back, pushing Hua Manxi a step, she staggered back, staring at Danyun with some concern. Danyun was still wearing those shoes on his feet, and he was unusually brisk in moving.
