Chapter 40: Reunion after many years
Yicheng had already said that his birthday was approaching, so Lin Qingqing was not surprised at all when he received the invitation from Yan Wangfu, but the money shopkeeper held the bronzing note in his arms as if he had never seen the world, and was very emotional.
Later, the sedan chair of the Yanwang Mansion landed at the door of the Anonymous Pavilion, and it was the maid who came to pick up Lin Qingqing who led her into the mansion last time.
Lin Qingqing sat in the sedan chair and set off slowly, and the maid smiled outside the sedan chair: "Jade girl, Yicheng heard that you like to study dishes, and you happened to ship a batch of fresh things from the south, and he specially left them for you as a surprise." ”
Obviously it was his birthday, but he prepared a surprise for himself, Lin Qingqing couldn't help laughing, and asked, "What kind of surprise, or was it transported by boat?" ”
"It's not interesting to say the surprise, Yicheng didn't even let us see it, I heard that it was shipped from the sea, so he put it in the kitchen and gave it to you as a gift."
Lin Qingqing was about to praise Yicheng for being interesting, but she suddenly opened the curtain and blinked her eyes coquettishly, "But Yicheng also said that the gift you gave him must also be a surprise, so it is good to save face for him." ”
With such a good face at a young age, Lin Qingqing shook his head helplessly, "Make sure he hasn't eaten what I made, so please okay." ”
The courtyard of the Yanwang Mansion has been set up in the shed, and the ancient people liked to watch the play for everything, and when the time came, they would call a yard of maids and maids to join in the fun.
Lin Qingqing didn't think much about it, and with the expectation of surprise in her heart, she came to the kitchen with a familiar car, and there were already many cooks waiting for her inside.
These days, although she doesn't come every day, she also comes to improve Zhao Yicheng's food every once in a while, so everyone is very familiar with her.
"Jade girl, come and see, Yicheng was dragged into the palace by the prince, and the surprise he prepared for you is here." A maid took Lin Qingqing's arm and pushed her to a saucer with a silver basin.
What's it, it's really so mysterious, I want the baby to take a silver basin to protect it. Lin Qingqing became nervous with the surrounding atmosphere, and carefully opened the silver basin.
There was a lot of dark brown and slippery lumps of stuff that melted around it due to the high temperature in the kitchen.
The kitchen went from holding its breath to exploding, and everyone was talking about this strange thing.
This is the ingenuity of Yicheng...... Skillful...... Something, it looks like dirt, weird and disgusting. ”
"It's very tiring, what Yicheng told me, I remember it better than anyone else."
"Something from overseas? They usually eat this, how can they be the same as the barbarians, but our food still looks delicious. ”
Lin Qingqing smiled, "A plate of chocolates, what about you, wait until I do a good job to ensure that all of you have a good mouth." ”
"Jade girl, do you know?" The maid who led the way was very surprised, "This thing still needs to be made before it can be eaten?" Everyone's part? ”
You can eat it without doing it, but now it has melted away, and it is sticky in your hand, which is really unsightly.
So he made noodles, melted chocolate, made tricks, and directed other cooks to cook, until the lights came on, and a smooth chocolate mousse was successfully completed.
It is also decorated with coiled chocolate silk, surrounded by long golden soufflé biscuits, and tied with a silver ribbon to form a bow.
A chocolate plaque with the words "Happy Birthday" written on it in jam is surrounded by twelve custom-made delicate candles.
As soon as she was done, the big girl in the courtyard of Yicheng came to ask about the progress, and it was already dark, so Lin Qingqing asked her to extinguish the lights in the banquet hall first. Then he found a small cart, put the cake on it, and dragged it in the direction of the banquet hall.
"Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, ......" The banquet hall was dark, and the small flame on the cake became the brightest source of light.
Yicheng ran over with a look of surprise, "Sister Yu, you can be regarded as coming, waiting for me to die." ”
Lin Qingqing pulled him in front of the cake, "*, after blowing a wish, you can eat the cake." ”
In the cheerful atmosphere of the birthday song, Yicheng blew out all the candles in one go, folded his hands and silently made a wish, and then the lights in the hall were lit again, and the lights were bright in an instant.
Lin Qingqing looked at Zhao Yicheng with a smile, squatted down and hugged him with a big hug, "Birthday is almost ......"
The hall was surrounded by dozens of low tables full of melons, fruits, dishes, and drinks, and through his shoulder, she saw the face that seemed to be a world away, and a small surprise flashed under that face, and then returned to a bitter coldness, and her heart also cooled.
Feeling Lin Qingqing's strangeness, Yicheng, who was mostly tall, also turned around, and then said with a smile: "You know everyone else, I'll introduce you to this, my cousin Seventh Prince, that is, the God of War Prince." ”
Lin Qingqing took a step back and asked in disbelief, "Zhao ...... Kuangyan? ”
He nodded a little embarrassed, and whispered: "My cousin is called by this name, but you can't call him that, you have to call him His Royal Highness." ”
His Royal Highness the Prince, who is Li Zhuang? Lin Qingqing staggered back a few steps, propped himself on the small cart with difficulty, and muttered to himself: "Zhao Kuangyan...... The Seven Princes...... God of War ......"
"Lin Qingqing!" Someone held her shoulder, she turned her head, and Bai Zhiyu was looking at her with a worried expression.
She jerked him away, "That's the fate you said you were going to miss?" Obviously I didn't miss it, he kept avoiding me! Hot tears ran down her cheeks.
"Sister Yu, I didn't mean to upset you." Yicheng hugged her arm, "My cousin has never been to your restaurant, I just wanted to surprise my cousin and let him taste it, so I didn't say anything and invited him." ”
He didn't say anything, and if he did, he wouldn't come! In an instant, the sky was dark, the mountains and the sea were exchanged, the bright lights in the banquet hall turned into hazy shadows, and that night of heavy rain and thunder of the electric god followed.
Lin Qingqing fell to the ground with a "poof", "Cao Da...... No, it's Zhao Kuangyan, it's you, it's you from beginning to end! ”
"Little Wildcat, are you alright?" Zhao Qi stepped over the short table and squatted beside her worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Lin Qingqing pushed him away suddenly, stood up, and just took a step, a piercing pain in his knee followed.
She staggered back to the ground, her eyes were bloodshot, "How can it be bad, I've been here all these years, what could be worse." ”
Bai Zhiyu hugged her distressedly, "Lin Qingqing, listen to me, I'll explain it to you......"
"I don't want to explain!" She interrupted him, her face covered with ice and snow, "Help me through." ”
Before he could say anything more, she struggled to push him away, "If you don't help me, I'll crawl over." ”
The day has finally arrived, and after countless nights of painstaking management and careful avoidance, it has still come.
Bai Zhiyu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he already had a faint smile, "Okay, I'll help you over." ”
