Chapter 121: Elegance in Food

The little girl replied: "I heard that Miss Cai San accidentally knocked down Miss Shen's lily root powder, but Miss Shen didn't give up, so she had to pick it up and hit her." ”

Cai Zhen knocked down the lily root powder?! Hu Shu stood up suddenly.

He has been sick for so long, and he is planning step by step, just for this bowl of lily root powder, and he actually let Cai Zhen knock it down? !

If Shen Yiyi can't make lily root powder today, then he will be sick in vain! Hu Shu suppressed his anger and asked the little guy: "Today's stove meeting, Miss Cai San will not go to the garden, or prepare to cook, what will Miss Shen do?" ”

The little guy said: "Miss Cai San said that she was going to find Miss Shen to catch up." ”

With the awkward relationship between Cai and Shen, will Cai Zhen go to Shen Yiyi to catch up? There must be a cat in it! Hu Shu thought that his plan might be ruined, and he was inexplicably angry.

The little guy waited for a while, but didn't see Hu Shu make a sound, so he asked, "Shizi, what should I do now?" ”

What to do? Yes, what to do For him, this matter is not difficult to solve, but according to the plan, he can't appear in front of Shen Yiyi in public, let alone see lily root powder, after all, the elders of the Jin State Mansion are not easy to fool, once people find out that this is his deliberate arrangement, it will not only make the plan fail, but also bring trouble to Shen Yiyi.

He always thought that he could control everything with one hand and remove all obstacles with one hand, but the reality hit him so quickly - Shen Yiyi was so close to him at the moment, but he couldn't do anything.

Hu Shuzheng was annoyed, and Zhu Jiulang outside spoke up: "Who is Miss Shen?" ”

There is no soundproofing inside and outside here, and he heard the conversation between Hu Shu's master and servant just now.

Hu Shu had no choice but to answer: "Miss Shen is the daughter of the Shen family, a giant in Wuchang Mansion, and she is here to cook for the ninth prince today. ”

Zhu Jiulang sighed "hmm" and said, "The daughter of a mere merchant dares to bully the third lady of the Hussar General's Mansion?" ”

As soon as Hu Shu heard this, he felt that it was not good, the emperor just said that he had a lot of praise for Cai Zhen's biological mother, but he was afraid that he would listen to and believe partially, and deliberately favoritism.

Sure enough, Zhu Jiulang immediately said, "Let me take a look." ”

Hu Shu hurriedly said: "The noble body of the ninth prince, why bother with the quarrels between the girls' families. ”

"It's more interesting for me to watch a woman quarrel than to sit across the door with you." Zhu Jiulang dropped a sentence lightly and got up.

Isn't it because he thought those sons and brothers were noisy, so he didn't invite guests to Lingyun Pavilion? Could he dare to resist the decree? The Sacred Heart is changeable, and it is really a wrongful death. Hu Shu felt helpless, and was worried about Shen Yiyi and Lily Root Powder, so he had to send a maid to "watch the excitement" and told her to report as soon as the situation changed.

-------------

Zhu Jiulang, under the guidance of the maid, ascended the small building, and at this time the upstairs was already crowded with people, most of them were the nobles who came to participate in the stove party, as well as the maids of their family, but everyone was stopped outside the kitchen door and was not allowed to enter.

Among these noble girls, there are many who often enter the palace and have witnessed the emperor's true face, but they all know that the emperor travels in micro-clothes, and he is most jealous of others exposing his identity, so he only treats him as an ordinary noble son, bends his knees and blesses his body, and salutes and greets him.

Not all the nobles knew Zhu Jiulang, but they were not stupid, since this person could set foot in the range of women's activities as if no one was around, his identity was definitely not ordinary, so they avoided both sides of the corridor and made way for them.

Zhu Jiulang walked to the door with leisurely steps. Hu Yu recognized him, and hurriedly saluted: "Ninth Prince." ”

Zhu Jiulang asked, "Why are you all crowded outside and don't go in?" ”

Hu Qi pointed to the kitchen and said, "There is lily root powder on the ground, and Miss Shen is worried that it will be broken if there are too many people, so I let them stay outside." ”

Zhu Jiulang followed what she was pointing at, and saw a pile of powder sprinkled on the floor of the kitchen. There were two young ladies standing next to the pile of powder, one of whom he had vaguely seen because of Cai Li, it should be Miss Cai San; The other one with a beautiful face, but a smile on his face that he couldn't see, should be the Miss Shen in their mouths.

The women outside the palace are really as boring as those in the palace, and they can quarrel for a little lily root powder. Zhu Jiulang was disdainful in his heart, but thinking of Miss Cai San's biological mother, and thinking that Cai Fuguang had just made a military exploit, he said loudly: "The food for today's kitchen must be in line with the word Fengya, and this lily root powder has nothing to do with Fengya, so if you sprinkle it, you will sprinkle it." ”

Cai Zhen had already recognized Zhu Jiulang, and when he heard his maintenance, he was overjoyed, and he was busy thinking about whether to take the opportunity to ask for Shen Yiyi to be punished, or to pretend to be generous.

If you sprinkle it, you will sprinkle it? Shen Yiyi looked at the lily root powder on the ground: "I don't know what a kitchen is, but you young ladies who can't even tell the difference between leeks and wheat seedlings, how can you know what the elegance of food is." ”

When Hu Qi saw her confronting Zhu Jiulang, he was startled, and waved his hand at her again and again, signaling her not to talk anymore.

Zhu Jiulang's face was slightly gloomy, and he glanced at Shen Yiyi: "Then you should tell me, what is the elegance of food?" ”

Shen Yiyi didn't answer him directly, but squatted down and scooped up a spoonful of lily root powder: "That day, I entered the mountain early in the morning, with the rising sun on my head and the dew-stained grass on my feet, the breeze in the valley was blowing, the stream was murmuring, and I dug out the roots of wild lilies, with fresh fluffy soil on the roots. So I washed the lily roots in the clear water, and brought them back to the city, where I cut them into pieces, dried them, and ground them into powder. Whenever I hold it, it seems that I can still smell the fragrance of the earth and feel the warmth of the autumn sun; Whenever I use it to cook food, I can still hear the birds chirping in the mountains and the rustle of the wild lilies in the wind. ”

She spoke a long story, without mentioning the word elegance, but everyone present felt the atmosphere of elegance, and there seemed to be a picture of beautiful mountains and rivers slowly unfolding in front of her, and the painting was full of lilies.

The lily root powder in her hand, at this moment, has life, adds artistic conception, is no longer unpretentious, and can be trampled on.

It turns out that food can be like this, and just by describing it, it can make people yearn for it; It turns out that the seemingly ordinary food also has its own light and wind behind it. In contrast, how ridiculous is their attempt to seek so-called elegance only on the plate.

The nobles were immersed in Shen Yiyi's words, and the expressions on their faces changed unconsciously.

Zhu Jiulang was silent for a long time, and said for a while: "It's a pity that it's dirty, so this matter will be stopped." ”

Shen Yiyi's elegance is indeed impressive, but Cai Fuguang's military exploits cannot be ignored, as an emperor, no matter how casual he seems, he is cold in his bones.
