Chapter 130: Mind
The loss of two hundred taels of silver at once made Yu Yuan's heart ache, and even the happy water of the fat house became unsweet.
She pressed the index fingers of both hands to her temples and gently circled in thought.
How can I get the two hundred taels back?
Thinking about it, it really made her come up with an idea.
The sun set, and Yu Xuan and Xiao Ti returned to the county king's mansion as usual.
Yu curled straight to the kitchen.
She rolled up her sleeves, and after some busy work, she made two good dishes, namely beef in sour soup and squirrel mandarin fish.
These two dishes are both unique in terms of aroma and appearance, and they can stimulate the appetite very much.
Angelica drooled greedily.
"Miss, can I taste it?"
If it were usual, Yu Yuanyu would definitely give her some dishes to satisfy her cravings.
But tonight was different.
Yu Yuanxuan seriously rejected her.
"No, these two dishes are very useful."
Angelica was very disappointed, and the whole person went down: "Okay." ”
Yu Yuan touched her head: "You go and knead the dough, and I'll make oily noodles to eat when I go back." ”
Angelica had eaten oily noodles, and he never forgot the taste, and when he heard the words, he immediately became supportive again.
"Uh-huh!"
Yu Xuan went to the dining hall with the tray.
Aunt Xiuyan helped her put the squirrel mandarin fish and beef in sour soup on the table, and praised with a smile.
"Miss Yu's cooking skills are really getting better and better, and this dish makes people drool when they look at it today, and it must taste very good."
Xiao Ti doesn't like spicy food, he prefers sweet and sour food.
The two dishes in front of him happened to be to his taste.
He picked up his chopsticks and was about to taste them.
But I heard Yu Xuan suddenly speak.
"Wait!"
Xiao Ti raised his eyes to look at her: "What?" ”
Yu Yuan cleared his throat and said solemnly.
"These two dishes are different from the ones you eat on a daily basis, they are made by me with a lot of painstaking care, they are the result of my hard work, and they are the precious results of my hard work."
When the embroidered mother next to her heard this, she immediately understood that Miss Yu was expressing her heart to the king of the county under the pretense of cooking vegetables.
Who would bother to cook for someone else?
Naturally, it's someone you like!
Aunt Xiuyan involuntarily showed her aunt's smile, and knocked it~
Xiao Ti didn't think about it so much, and asked.
"So what?"
Mama Xiuyan was trying to remind His Royal Highness the King of the County not to ask so bluntly, after all, she was a girl and would be embarrassed.
However, before she could say anything, she saw Miss Yu stretching out her white and tender hand.
Yu Xuan said confidently.
"So you have to pay before you eat!"
Embroidered Mama: "......"
She thought she was knocking sugar, but she didn't expect that when she bit into it, it was full of copper smell.
Xiao Ti obviously didn't expect Yu Yuanyuan to ask for money.
He was stunned before he said.
"How much do you want?"
Yu Yuan's little hand was raised upward, and two fingers were raised: "Two hundred taels." ”
Xiao Ti immediately understood that she wanted to recover the two hundred taels of silver tickets she had lost during the day.
He put down his chopsticks and said in a good time.
"You bother to cook food for this king, and this king should pay, but do you know the price in the most expensive restaurant in Beijing? These two dishes like the one you make are worth two taels of silver at most according to the market. ”
After speaking, he took out two taels of silver from his purse and put them in front of Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan was unconvinced: "Is my cooking skill comparable to those ordinary chefs outside?!" ”
Xiao Ti thought about it for a moment and felt that her words made sense.
So he added half a tael to her.
"That's enough, isn't it?"
Yu Yuanyu: "What I want is two hundred taels!" ”
Xiao Ti said unhurriedly.
"The price of vegetables in the Dayan Dynasty is clearly stipulated, and it cannot exceed 30% of the market price at most, otherwise it will be regarded as price gouging, and price gouging will be imprisoned and eat the board, you have to think clearly before speaking."
Yu Yuan: "......"
