Shen Yinqiu pulled Qingye to find Liu Lili, the wing room where he lived was not far from Shen Yinqiu's main courtyard, and a corridor turned a corner.

Shen Yinqiu personally stepped forward to knock on the door, but no one inside responded, Qingye stepped forward and pushed it with skill, and the door was open, empty.

"Strange, did he leave?" Shen Yinqiu stepped into the room, the bed was neat, the teacups on the table were still in place, and there was no breath of life in this room.

Aoba denied; "He is a fresh face, he can't get out of Chang'an Courtyard, and even if he goes out of Chang'an Courtyard, he can't get out of Hou Mansion."

Shen Yinqiu thought about it, Wan Yanyan would never let him leave the Hou Mansion at will when he brought people back, "Find a maid to ask." ”

She went out to close the door again, and met the maid along the way to stop and ask, only to know that Liu Lili was in the kitchen? How can a stranger get close to the kitchen floor?

Aoba said to her again: "He should go to the small kitchen, and the food you and your master eat is made by a special kitchen." Going? ”

Shen Yinqiu thought for a while and nodded, "Go and see." ”

Aoba took her to the small kitchen, Shen Yinqiu had been here for so long, and he really hadn't entered the kitchen. She followed Aoba, shuttled through the path, and came to a corner, where there were a lot of little maids and maids.

They were all surprised to see Shen Yinqiu, and they all retreated to salute, Shen Yinqiu asked, "Do they usually eat here?" ”

"Hmm." Aoba pointed to the room in front of him and said, "That's it, you don't have to get too close, the smoke is heavy." ”

Shen Yinqiu looked up at the smoking chimney, walked closer, and faintly smelled the aroma of the dishes.

The little maids around were holding rice bowls in their hands, and seeing that this master didn't dare to move, Aoba casually called someone and asked, "Who is in charge of the spoon inside?" ”

"It's a new cook, and the slave doesn't know his name." The maid didn't dare to look at Shen Yinqiu, and lowered her head to answer Aoba's words.

Aoba said, "You call him out." ”

"Yes." The maid put down her rice bowl and immediately trotted into the kitchen, and after a while, a man with a dark scarf hurried out.

Aoba hadn't seen Liu Lili before, but that didn't prevent her from recognizing Liu Lili as a new face, and combined with the fact that he was a cook, she quickly thought of his identity.

Shen Yinqiu watched him hurriedly run in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "Why did you come to the kitchen?" ”

Liu Lili has never been to such a big family, and she doesn't know the rules, so she was a little embarrassed to say this: "I got up hungry this morning, and after walking a few steps out, a small guy asked me if I was a newcomer, and then I was pulled to the kitchen in a daze, and I saw everyone waiting to eat, I ......."

Shen Yinqiu automatically helped him take over and said secretly, you will be a cook until now.

She saw that Liu Lili didn't have any aggrieved look on her face, she looked quite happy, and she was a little relieved, for the sake of him being her mother's buddy, she didn't want him to be bullied, in the end she brought people back. A guy who was very loyal to her mother.

Without waiting for her to continue, Liu Lili looked at Shen Yinqiu with some expectation and said, "Princess Shizi, do you like to eat fried fish?" I've fried some small dried fish, would you like to try it? ”

Aoba refused first: "The princess's food has a special kitchen," which means that the dishes made in the small kitchen, when the master can't eat them, this is a well-known thing, and the rest of the people don't think there's anything wrong.

The food that enters the master's mouth is tried by someone, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be them who will suffer.

Although Liu Lili didn't understand, he vaguely knew that this was the rule, and he lowered the depression in his eyes and said, "It's me who has overstepped the rules." ”

The subordinates around are whispering, this person is so bold, he dares to call himself me in front of his master.

Shen Yinqiu doesn't like to eat fish, but seeing Liu Lili's expectant and cautious eyes, they are full of too many things, and she even sees the meaning of love in his eyes, the elders are a little scared of the juniors, what is the relationship between this Liu Lili and her mother?

She coughed softly and said, "I have something to look for you, you can bring the dried fish." ”

Liu Lili raised his head and smiled implicitly, "Okay." ”

Qingye glanced at him twice, and then followed Shen Yinqiu back.

Liu Lili hurriedly returned to the kitchen, took out a plate and fried it carefully, and specially covered the small dried fish with a plate, the princess is Shi Tan's daughter, the first time they met, he didn't have anything good to give her, only the cooking skills were passable, thinking that Shi Tan likes to eat fish, maybe the princess also likes to eat, so she fried some and wanted to give her a taste.

I heard that she grew up in Jiangnan, and he knows all the specialties of Jiangnan, and if she wants to eat them, he can make them for her at any time.

He wanted to have a food box for small dried fish, although the people in the kitchen were jealous that he had entered the eyes of the master, they didn't dare not give the food box, and they didn't see the princess Fang Cai come to find it in person!

Liu Lili was afraid that Shen Yinqiu would wait for a long time, so he would carry it and leave after loading it. I sniffed the smell of my body as I walked, well, I had to change my clothes, the kitchen was not ventilated enough, and the fumes could not be dispersed.

Shen Yinqiu sat in the Lan Pavilion in the backyard and waited for Liu Lili to arrive, and there were not so many people who came and went when he entered Chang'an Courtyard. Aoba leaned on the pillar, his eyes looking at the potted plant not far away, as if in a daze.

Liu Lili's speed was very fast, he came in less than a quarter of an hour, he carried the food box on the stone table and opened it, and a fragrance came to his nose, but Shen Yinqiu's nose still smelled a trace of fishy smell, even if it was not heavy.

Qingye came back to her senses, walked to Shen Yinqiu's side and stood still, looking at the small dried fish that was still a little steaming, and then looked at Liu Lili who was a little eager in her eyes, she picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the side, sandwiched a small golden dried fish left and right, and finally put it in her mouth, crunchy.

Shen Yinqiu and Liu Lili looked at her unconsciously.

"It's delicious." Aoba sandwiched another one, a wooden face, and a slight upward movement of the small arc of the lips.

Shen Yinqiu took the bamboo chopsticks in her hand, picked one up, sniffed it, and took a bite, so crisp that it could be bitten off! She tasted it, it was crispy, sweet and lightly salty, she pointed to the green dots on the fish and asked, "What is this?" ”

Liu Lili immediately said: "This is chopped green onions, which enhances the flavor." ”

He knew from looking at Shen Yinqiu's hand that she hadn't cooked much, so he didn't introduce how this little dried fish was fried, and he estimated that she was not in the mood to listen to it, so he still didn't say anything she didn't like.

Shen Yinqiu ate one and gave the bamboo chopsticks to Aoba, how could she not see that Aoba liked it. Somewhat apologetically said to Liu Lili: "I'm sorry, I don't like to eat fish very much." ”

Liu Lili paused, feeling a little lost in her heart, but she quickly cheered up and explained: "The princess doesn't have to apologize, I only know that the proprietress likes to eat fish, and I think you like it too." I can do other things, I can do whatever you want to eat, I can do what I can do, I can learn what I don't know, and I learn what is in the kitchen very quickly. ”

Shen Yinqiu motioned for him to sit down and said, "I like to eat meat other than fish, steamed, boiled, fried, can't be spicy, everything else is fine, I called you here to ask you, how familiar my mother is with you." ”

"Nope! I don't know the proprietress very well, don't get me wrong. Liu Lili instantly put away her previous smile and assured her seriously and solemnly.

Shen Yinqiu: "......"

She felt that Liu Lili might have misunderstood her, she didn't think he was strange last night, and now he was very attentive to herself, just like offering to the little master. But he was not servile to her, as if he wanted to make up for her.

Does he owe her anything?

Not really.

She couldn't guess, so she relaxed: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything, you see that you care about my mother so much, and you know what my mother likes to eat, and because my mother is unwilling to leave the Shen family that has changed hands, you are very familiar with my mother, right?" ”

She still remembered the taste of Liu Lili's specialty food, which once appeared on the dinner table in her mother's West Courtyard.

Liu Lili looked at Shen Yinqiu.

Shen Yinqiu said naturally: "If you say that you like my mother, I won't feel angry or strange, because my mother is really beautiful." ”

Liu Lili's face gradually turned red, and he tried to calm down: "No, I'm not familiar, I just knew your mother in Jiangnan." ”

"Is that all? You forgot last night when you knew I was my mother's daughter, you called my mother's name. "If you don't know it, dare to call people like this?

Liu Lili: "......"

Under Shen Yinqiu's direct gaze, Liu Lili finally compromised: "Strictly speaking, I am Shi Qin's cousin, who is the collateral of your grandmother's mother's family, and it has been a long time, and the collateral who does not have a strong sense of existence has no contact with the main family. I had a few encounters with your mother when I was a child, when I was very young, maybe four or five years old. When you were a child, your mother was very cute, straightforward, but lazy and didn't like to make trouble. ”

Shen Yinqiu twitched the corners of his mouth, the memory of four or five years old, remembered for more than twenty years? Slightly admired.

"After my family declined, my parents died, and I was left with no brothers and sisters, so I found a good craft, followed the master to learn to cook, and earned enough money to return to Jiangnan." Liu Lili recalled.

Shen Yinqiu: "But even if you are a side of my grandmother's side, and you came to Jiangnan to find my grandmother, she won't ignore you." ”

Liu Lili said: "Well, but if that is the case, I will become the door-to-door autumn breeze, I already have the ability to be self-reliant, why do I have to send someone under the fence." ”

Shen Yinqiu was speechless, it is true that it is not easy to survive in a big family.

Liu Lili continued: "I am indeed a happy Shiqin, but I also know that my identity is not worthy of her, I can't walk the road of becoming an official in the imperial examination, after thinking about it, she likes to eat fish, so I will delve into various ways to cook fish, so that she can eat happily." Later, she married in the capital, and I followed her to the capital, and when I saw her frequently going in and out of a restaurant, I went to ask the shopkeeper to let me enter the store, but I didn't expect Shi Qin to be the owner of that restaurant. So I stayed in the shop to help. ”

After listening to this, Shen Yinqiu looked at Liu Lili deeply, how could she say that he was good and infatuated?

"Then does my mother know that you are a distant cousin?"

Liu Lili nodded, "I know." ”

Shen Yinqiu: "......"
