Chapter 7: Acquaintance through Food
The sun is thin, the sky is dark, the glow is blurred on the clouds, the sunset is decisive, but she is like a nostalgic for the world, reluctant to leave.
Nie Suisui was woken up by hunger, and when she woke up, the table was sprinkled by the setting sun, reflecting the shadow of the window, and the huge hibiscus flowers bloomed on the table. She didn't know how long she had been asleep, her consciousness was a little drowsy, her fingertips rubbed her temples, and she left the house when she woke up.
I didn't see the figure of Yunnan Yao, so I asked my subordinates, and my subordinates said that he had something to do and went out of the house.
This prince is quite busy, but it's okay.
Nie Suisui walked around the palace with her hands crossed, she hadn't taken a good look at this place after marrying into the palace, and no one came to lead her to recognize the way. In the past, there was no hostess in the Hexiang Palace, and Yunnan Yao was busy with external affairs most of the time, and everything in the palace was inevitably taken care of. Fortunately, now that she is the mistress of this mansion, the affairs of the mansion will be handed over to her in a short time, so she will help him manage the palace well.
Passing through the wooden corridor next to the hibiscus pool, Nie Suisui smelled an attractive fragrance, not strong or light, but indescribably attractive, the fragrance was like a hand, leading her in that direction.
She hid behind the door and poked her head out to see where the scent was coming from. There were many ingredients and knives in it, as well as a few stoves, which coincidentally allowed her to find the stove room of the Zhiqing Palace.
There is a young man dressed in white in the stove room, just looking at the side face, I can't help but want to praise a good and handsome person, Nie Suisui saw people into the stove room for the first time actually dressed so white, he rolled up his sleeves, held the knife in one hand and held the cutting board in the other, from its strength and speed, it can be seen that this person makes the knife skillful, the action is clean and elegant, the fish meat on the cutting board was chopped into fish paste by him, and his white clothes are not stained with any meat foam.
He picked up the wooden block and picked it up into the fish paste, and he picked out the whole fish bones, and found two or three small fish bones in the fish paste. He frowned, unhappy with the bones that had landed in the mud.
Nie Suisui looked outside the stove room, covering his mouth and not letting himself exclaim. But an unassuming sound in her stomach exposed her, and the person inside cast his gaze in this direction, and although Nie Suisui quickly retracted his head, he still found it.
"Come out."
Nie Suisui had no choice but to stand up and walk in embarrassedly. It was a bit embarrassing to peek at people and find out.
The man looked her up and down with a calm face, and said in surprise: "I've seen the princess." ”
"Usually except for the domestic servants who work in the stove room, few people come, and I am a little surprised that the princess is here. And ......," he said, raising an eyebrow and looking at the door.
He was saying that she hid at the door and peeked, Nie Suisui said with a weak heart: "I came here looking for the fragrance, and by accident, I saw God, not on purpose." ”
"It's fine." He didn't dwell on this issue either, "I once watched Master show off his cooking skills, and I was also intoxicated. ”
"You ......" Nie Suisui thought of something, "You won't be ......"
I saw him arch his hand again: "In Xia Su Ziquan, the family teacher Su smiled." ”
Nie Suisui was surprised and even more happy: "I really let me see it, I heard that the most ordinary ingredients in the world can also become heavenly delicacies in Su Ziquan's hands." ”
There are three unique in the famous capital, one is a dance, two is a piano, and three are on a hunger strike. This food is the "first spoon in the capital" under the tutelage of the chef Su Xiao, Su Ziquan.
"The princess praised it falsely." Su Ziquan said modestly.
"What are you doing right now? I'm so hungry. Nie Suisui looked behind him.
Su Ziquan smiled and showed her the dishes she had just made: "Sometimes I suddenly get interested, I made a plate of exquisite ice cake, a bowl of crispy bone noodles, and fish-flavored ball porridge is about to go to the pot, and I am worried that I can't eat so much by myself." ”
"Then I'm not just in time, I'll taste it, I'll taste it." Nie Suisui picked up the chopsticks and rolled a circle of noodles and put them in his mouth, "Hmm, it's delicious!" ”
She couldn't stop after tasting it, and she wanted to bury her face in the bowl and swallow it in one gulp. Su Ziquan smiled and put the porridge into a bowl.
"Eat slowly, there's still something here."
"Uh-huh!" Nie Suisui's mouth was too busy to speak, and he reached out to him and gave him a thumbs up.
It was worthy of being devastated, Nie Suisui soon ate only a plate of pastries, she sat on the chair contentedly, picked up the exquisite ice cake and sent it to her mouth.
"By the way, why are you in the Xuanqing Palace?" Nie Suisui asked. From his attitude towards himself, it is easy to see that he is not a servant in the palace of the Qing Dynasty.
Su Ziquan looked at her with a gentle smile, and when he heard her ask this question, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
"The incident in Zhuxian Tower happened suddenly, the fire burned down cleanly overnight, the whereabouts of the master are unknown, and I have nowhere to go. It seems that Zhuxianlou has offended a very powerful character, and friends can't hide, let alone help, and others are already very grateful if they don't fall into the ground. At that time, I only thought about learning cooking skills from Master and letting Zhuxian Lou continue to be popular, but there is no such simple thing in this world. What I thought then, now I think about it, it's really extravagant. Master secretly carried everything for me, in order to reassure me and not let me be aware. ”
"Luckily, I met King Zeqing. The prince accepted me as a guest at the house, treated me with great courtesy, and I also respected the prince very much. ”
Nie Suisui stopped his movements and said, "I see." ”
She knew that Zhuxian Tower was destroyed overnight, but she didn't know the reason, so she asked rashly, although it was inadvertent, but she still poked at his sore spot, and she regretted it a little.
Su Ziquan breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't have to blame herself, the princess let Ziquan spit out the depression in her heart, which is much happier." Does the princess want to learn how to make Linglong ice cake? ”
"Yes!"
Yunnan Yao left the palace for something, and as soon as he came back, he asked when he entered the palace: "Where is the princess?" ”
The servant replied: "Go back to the prince, in the stove room." ”
He went straight to the stove room, and saw two or three slaves and maids along the way, and swept them with cold eyes, and those slaves and maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
"The prince forgives his sins!"
"Hmph, when did the people raised in this palace still have the ability to snub their masters." Yunnan Yao said coldly, "From now on, you are not from the palace, pack up your things and leave." ”
"Lord Wang! The prince forgives his sins! The slave and maid were wrong, the slave and maid didn't dare, and begged the prince not to let the slave and maid leave the palace! ”
"I've done everything, what dare not, since I don't want to do things well, what's the use of keeping you." Yunnan Yao stopped looking at them, and left here with a flick of his sleeves.
He walked to the front of the stove room, there was only Nie Suisui in it, what was she doing, her movements were not skillful, and she looked a little flustered.
He didn't go in, he didn't hide, he just stood quietly at the door, watching the figure inside busy, kneading the dough for a while, rolling the dough for a while, slightly fascinated.
Nie Suisui held a rolling pin in his hand, reached out for the sugar again, and accidentally knocked it to the corner of the table in a hurry, and the plate on the table was not stable, and this knock knocked it off.
She screamed in her heart, but the plate did not fall to the ground as expected, but was firmly caught by a hand.
"I was careless."
The hand put the plate back in its place, and Nie Suisui looked up and met his gentle eyes.
