Chapter 529: Unstable?
Only a few people who knew the purpose of his coming to Dacheng this time were Ah Ling and a few others, so he dared to say it so openly.
"Vendors?" The fourth prince scoffed: "You can deceive others but you can't deceive this prince, after the last war, Daming has hated me to the core, a small trader can make the general defend the city open the door?" Tell me, what are you doing here this time? ”
The corners of Gu Jinfeng's lips hooked, and he glanced at Abu on the side without moving, the fourth prince was a smart person, and he waved him away.
"Alright, there's no one else here."
Gu Jinfeng then arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to deceive the four princes, the grass people are indeed here to sell spices this time, and they also brought a few food recipes, and I want to find someone who knows the goods to sell them......"
The fourth prince immediately got up from the bed, and lifted the veil in front of him to reveal a gloomy face.
"This prince will give you one last chance, this is Dacheng, now with the relationship between the two countries, even if I kill you, no one will hold grievances for you, don't take yourself too seriously!"
Gu Jinfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, Lu Ye once said that these four princes have a perverse personality, and they are uncertain, they may still be talking and laughing with you in the last second, and they may directly draw their swords and slash at your throat in the next second, and they will do things in a disorderly manner.
At this moment, he saw that this was indeed the case, but why did he think he was lying as soon as he came?
And there was even undisguised mockery in his eyes, as if he already knew his identity......
The reasons for this are worth investigating.
"Ahh Qi Ling, who was busy in the kitchen, couldn't help but sneeze, and when Qingyu saw this, he hurriedly put down the dishes in his hand and asked, "Girl, are you okay?" This place is cold, and it is most likely to suffer from wind chills, so I will ask Dr. Wang to come and take a look. ”
"Don't!" Qi Ling hurriedly grabbed her: "I'm fine, I just choked on this chili pepper, what are you making such a fuss about!" ”
Looking at the crushed chili pepper Qingyu on the chopping board, he relieved his heart, now that the epidemic is raging in this city, he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens, Gu Gongzi also let himself take good care of the girl when he left, but there can be no mistakes.
Before the time for breakfast had passed, Qi Ling was thinking about starting to prepare the materials for lunch.
It's colder today than yesterday, and it's still hot to go outside than to be busy in the burning kitchen.
Qi Ling and his entourage gave enough money for the house, so the ingredients sent every day were also very rich, this time not only sent a freshly killed lamb, but also sent seven or eight catties of beef, and the pieces of fresh meat were piled up in baskets, and they were moved in by the attendants.
It's so cold outside that if you leave it for a while, you might freeze into ice.
"Miss Qi, is there anything you need our help with?"
Eating and drinking like this every day makes the attendants feel very unhappy, and when they are on the road, they need to pay attention to the wind and grass around them, and now they have successfully arrived at Dacheng, and their task is more than half completed.
So I came over to help.
Qi Ling smiled and asked, "Do you know how to slice meat?" ”
The attendant nodded hurriedly: "This is naturally possible, you tell me how much size and thickness you want, and guarantee that you will be neatly fitted!" ”
"Good!" Qi Ling took two pieces of beef and two pieces of mutton, and compared the length and thickness with him, and the attendant took the sharp knife and went to the side to slice the meat, and the few who came with him were not to be outdone, and stepped forward to ask if there was anything else they needed help with.
Thinking that she needed to make some meatballs, boil some bone broth or something, she arranged the tasks one by one, and in the end, even the work of cutting chili peppers was robbed, and the originally small kitchen room was occupied by these big men.
Qi Ling helplessly watched them busy inside, so he simply washed his hands and went to the hall to rest for a while.
There were no caravans, the hotel was very quiet, only a small guy took a rag to wipe around, and when he saw Qi Ling coming in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Miss Qi, I just heard the movement in the kitchen, are you going to do something delicious again? Tell me what you want! ”
Since tasting her craftsmanship, the little girl has been completely impressed, whether it is yesterday's dinner or today's breakfast, it is a delicacy that he has never eaten in his life.
He even wondered if this girl was working as an imperial chef in the Daming Palace, otherwise how could she make something delicious.
If Qi Ling knew what he was thinking in his heart, he might have died of laughter.
"It's really cold today, I see that there is fresh meat in the kitchen and I want to eat a hot pot, anyway, there is no one, you and the shopkeeper will taste it together."
"Good! I will definitely come! The little guy rubbed his hands happily, and said with a smile: "At that time, when my father and mother asked me to help my little uncle, I was very reluctant, if I could eat such food every day, even if I didn't pay for it, I would come!" ”
"You're related to this shopkeeper?"
"Hehe, it's okay, the little uncle has a flexible brain, at that time Daming was still trading when he went a few times, almost took all the capital to buy a whole cart of goods there and came back, all of them were sold and opened this hotel, I still remember that when he went there was a lot of opposition from many people, but he insisted on doing it, and now no one dares to say that he is not."
Qi Ling nodded in agreement after hearing this: "I didn't expect the shopkeeper to be quite powerful, he can grasp such a business opportunity, and he is still very business-minded, you said yesterday that he was a little injured, is he better now?" ”
"It's better! He ate all the breakfast you asked me to bring him, and said that he would come when the injury is healed, thank you! ”
As the two were talking, they heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then the heavy curtain was suddenly lifted, and a stout man in a heavy fur suit walked in.
"Ah, Chef Li, why are you here?"
The little guy hurriedly greeted her, Qi Ling also looked at it curiously, after coming to Dacheng, she found that the face shape of the people here seemed to be more obvious different from the Daming people, and the color of the pupils was also lighter, but there was a feeling similar to the Xinjiang people in the previous life.
And the Chef Li in front of him is similar to the appearance of the Ming people, could it be ......
Chef Li hurriedly came in and asked, "How is the Arren?" I heard that he was beaten by officers and soldiers? ”
The little guy hurriedly pulled him aside and whispered for a while, Qi Ling was a little surprised in his heart, he said before that the shopkeeper just accidentally bumped into the cabinet, why did he hear that he was beaten by officers and soldiers this time?
She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, but did not interject to ask.
Soon the conversation between Chef Li and the little servant ended, and Qi Ling vaguely heard: "Then I'll come to see him another day, the store is still waiting for me to be busy, so I'll leave first." ”
"Okay, you go slowly!"
When Chef Li left, he inadvertently glanced at Qi Ling, his expression was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but stop and ask, "Look at the girl's dress... Is it from Daming? ”
Qi Ling got up: "I am indeed from Daming." ”
Chef Li was surprised and delighted: "So the Ming Dynasty is open to trade again?" ”
Qi Ling shook his head: "This is not yet, we sneaked here through some special means, listening to your tone, you are not an adult?" ”
