Chapter 197: There's something wrong with this soup
Half an hour later
Looking at the table of dishes, colorful, Gu Ling'er was a little dazzled, she thought that there were only a few dozen of these dishes, but later Lao Cai told her that there were a total of one hundred and eighteen dishes, large and small.
Gu Ling'er was shocked on the spot, she had heard that the Empress Dowager Cixi had more than 200 dishes for a meal back then, although she had never seen it, but when she saw the Dragon Mansion today, she could imagine how extravagant Cixi was back then!
But then again, the Empress Dowager Cixi is Lafayette, with only more than 200 dishes. Why is the Dragon Mansion so extravagant and luxurious, and it is about to catch up with the emperor's relatives? Gu Ling'er couldn't help but sweat for the Dragon Mansion, if this kind of thing spreads out and reaches the ears of the current emperor, then the Dragon Mansion ...... I'm afraid I can't explain the reason!
You must know that rulers are sensitive, and what they care about most is the loyalty of the ruled, and this Dragon Mansion is obviously a little too ostentatious, which will inevitably make them think more. Even if it's a family feast, it doesn't look like much, but the supreme person sitting on the dragon chair doesn't necessarily think so!
Gu Ling'er thought that although the Dragon Mansion was a wealthy family, it was also an ordinary person, and since it was a common person, it was necessary to keep a low profile. It's just that she didn't know that Long Liangfei was originally the prince, even if he was now engaged in business at home, but his title of prince was always there, even if he ate more than a hundred dishes in one meal, it was nothing unusual.
"Miss Gu, the eldest young master wants you to come over!" A sweet voice sounded, interrupting Gu Ling'er's thoughts.
Gu Ling'er looked up and saw a little girl with a delicate face, standing in front of her and looking at herself, not very old, about fourteen or fifteen. Gu Ling'er saw that she was a little embarrassed, she had never seen such a face since she came to the Dragon Mansion for more than a month.
But how did she know herself?
Gu Ling'er was puzzled, frowned and asked, "Now?" ”
"Hmmm! The eldest young master said that he wants you to arrive within a stick of incense! The girl smiled faintly, and two shallow pear vortices appeared on both sides of her mouth, which were very cute, like a flower like a spring breeze.
Gu Ling'er smiled faintly, "Please wait a while, and wait for me to serve the soup to the eldest young master before leaving!" ”
While speaking, Gu Ling'er walked to Lao Cai's side, and Lao Cai told her that there were still some very important seasonings in this "soft-shelled turtle soup" that had not been put in, and she couldn't take it away yet. According to the rules of the eldest young master, the "soft-shelled turtle soup" must be placed at the end before it can be served.
Gu Ling'er was a little worried, and asked Lao Cai to remind herself when she would serve the soup to the eldest young master later, and let herself serve it to him personally. Seeing that Lao Cai agreed, Gu Ling'er followed the girl out of the kitchen with confidence.
Walking on the road, Gu Ling'er's heart was always like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down. Since she was not used to smelling the smell of seafood on weekdays, Gu Ling'er just briefly checked it and found nothing. Despite this, she was still not at ease, and she felt that there was something wrong with the "soft-shelled turtle soup".
When Long Liang Fei asked the second lady Xingshi to ask for the guilt, although there was no result, he had already startled the snake. Thinking about it from another angle, if the second lady has a problem, she will be a thief and will definitely take action against him.
However, after all, she is the second lady of the Dragon Mansion, and she has no real evidence, even if she says it, no one will believe her.
Gu Ling'er glanced at the banquet hall in front of her, the masters of the Dragon Mansion had already arrived, and the dishes in the kitchen were also placed on the table one by one under the arrangement of Lao Cai, the general manager.
The moment she saw Gu Ling'er, the first person to be shocked was Su Mengyao, who was sitting next to Long Liangfei, her angry eyes were like a fierce blade, and she seemed to be angry when she devoured Gu Ling'er alive.
Seeing this, Long Liangfei looked like a light breeze, and directly pulled Gu Ling'er behind him.
At this time, a soft-shelled turtle soup was brought to the front of Long Liang Fei along with the jar.
Long Liangfei glanced at Gu Ling'er, "Serve soup to Young Master Ben!" ”
Gu Ling'er was stunned, this sentence was obviously said to herself. She remembered that Lao Cai said that the eldest young master drank this soup last, why did he ask for soup first before he ate a bite of the meal today?
"Serve soup to Young Master Ben!" Seeing Gu Ling'er standing there motionless, Long Liangfei was a little annoyed and shouted loudly.
Gu Ling'er was frightened by this sound, and watched everyone's eyes fall on her, and bowed her head and responded: "Yes, eldest young master!" ”
Although she lowered her head, Gu Ling'er could feel a surprised look at her. So, she slowly walked to the table, her trembling arms dangling in mid-air, I don't know how long, she slowly stretched out her left hand and picked up a brown soup bowl, and her right hand lightly touched a white soup spoon.
It was this small soup spoon, Gu Ling'er didn't know how much effort she had used to pick it up. At this time, her mind suddenly remembered the scene half an hour ago.
"Well, what is this? Why is it so fishy? ”
In the kitchen, as soon as Gu Ling'er lifted the lid of the casserole, before she could see what was inside, she was disgusted by a strong pungent smell, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"This is soft-shelled turtle soup! The taste is a little heavier, so except for the eldest young master, the other masters in the house don't like this soup, and they are all the same as the girl, and they can't get used to the smell of this soup! ”
Gu Ling'er didn't have the heart to listen to Lao Cai's nagging, she still thought about how Long Scales Fei was so different from normal people, and even the taste of eating was so heavy.
Gu Ling'er, who calmed down, realized how ridiculous she was just now! Because of the diffusion motion of molecules, how can the transmission of taste become non-existent because it takes two steps back?
Gu Ling'er shook her head, and smiled bitterly in her heart, when did she become so mentally retarded? Not only that, but it is also very decadent, so decadent that the IQ is close to "zero".
No, I want to regroup and be my old self.
"Uncle, what did you just say? The master of the Dragon Mansion except for the dragon scales flying, oh~ I mean except for the eldest young master, the other masters don't like to drink this soup? Gu Ling'er suddenly woke up as if in a dream, and remembered what Lao Cai had just said.
Lao Cai nodded and said slowly: "They are like this like the girl, and they don't even want to smell this soup!" While speaking, Lao Cai also learned Gu Ling'er's disgusting appearance just now, which was very funny.
Gu Ling'er smiled awkwardly, and suddenly, just for a moment, her smile froze on her face, "What about the second lady?" Is the same true? ”
Lao Cai nodded, he told Gu Ling'er that the second lady was very strange today, she even asked about the "soft-shelled turtle soup" in person, and even went over to take a look, as if she was not as annoying as before.
There was a "pop" sound, and the soft-shelled turtle soup fell to the ground with a pot and spoon, turning into scattered fragments.
