Chapter Twenty-Three: Shredded Chicken Noodles

Although he had known for a long time that the place where the prince lived would definitely not be too small, after actually experiencing it himself, He Xiaoqiao had two words - sore legs.

At first, I felt that the weather was so good, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the scenery was pleasant, then I felt that the weather was a little hot, my legs were a little sore, and I didn't know where the road was, and then it turned into a deep despair - his grandmother's bear! After walking for a long time, there were unchanging high-walled rockeries all around, and the lush flowers and trees were even more dazzling, if it weren't for Jiang Fenghao, she would have directly found a piece of grass to lie down and pretend to be dead.

It is no wonder that most of the ancient assassins who went to the Gaomen compound to assassinate would be discovered as soon as possible, and then all kinds of teachers died before they could get started, all because the structure of the house was too complicated, and they couldn't find the way without GPS.

Therefore, the place where the rich live can really only be used as a tourist attraction and have nothing to see, if you really want to live in it, just knowing the road is enough to make you vomit blood.

When passing by the garden full of vegetables before, Jiang Fenghao saw that He Xiaoqiao had tiredness on his face, and very considerately proposed to go to the Huxin Pavilion to rest.

He Xiaoqiao naturally didn't have any objections, if she could, she even wanted to lay flat on the floor in the gazebo.

At that time, it was sunset, and smoke had already begun to rise from the roofs of every house, so Jiang Fenghao simply asked people to put dinner in the gazebo.

When the maids brought the food, He Xiaoqiao knew that the kitchen was not far from where they were, no wonder Jiang Fenghao chose to grow vegetables here, which was completely in line with the concept of convenience and speed.

Probably considering that it is difficult to digest after eating too much at night, dinner is quite light dishes, He Xiaoqiao's favorite pickled meat stewed bamboo shoot soup, the taste is very delicious.

Jiang Fenghao still looked like he had no appetite, just drinking wine leisurely but not moving his chopsticks, and smiled at He Xiaoqiao and explained to him which dish was more delicious, and which dish should be added with some condiments to make it more palatable.

After eating a meal, it was already dark, He Xiaoqiao was burping and wanted to get up and walk around, but Jiang Fenghao suddenly pulled her back, his face was rare serious, "Lady, I'll send you back to the room." ”

Back to the room?

He Xiaoqiao looked up at the starry sky, and nodded in agreement without thinking too much, "Okay." ”

In this weather, even if they just sit still, they can sweat profusely, not to mention that they have only walked for such a long time just now, and they can take a shower and cool off when they go back to their rooms.

Without waiting for Jiang Fenghao to speak, He Xiaoqiao had already automatically and spontaneously walked to the rockery he had seen last time, turned around and looked at Jiang Fenghao with a blank eye, waiting for him to go over and open the secret passage so that it would be convenient to return to the garden.

"It's not here," Jiang Fenghao really couldn't laugh at He Xiaoqiao's good memory, and motioned to the subordinates in the house to hold the lamp in front of him, and pulled He Xiaoqiao back and walked forward along another road, "Follow me." ”

He Xiaoqiao followed behind him in confusion, "Don't go back to the Random Garden?" ”

Her stuff is still there.

"No," Jiang Fenghao glanced back at her and clenched her hand tighter, "We'll all live here in the future." ”

"Oh." It seems that she will have to get lost every day in the future, should she consider asking Jiang Fenghao for a map of the house to carry with her first?

"But if you want, you can go back there and stay for a few days."

Stay for a few days?

It's the same as going out of the door, in fact, the random garden is next door, and it's a matter of climbing over the wall.

After saying this, neither of them spoke again, and the two little servants led the way in front, walked for about ten minutes, and after bypassing a moon cave gate, they came to an exquisite courtyard.

Because it was night, lanterns had already been hung in the yard, and there was a faint light in the house. He Xiaoqiao could see a complete set of stone tables and chairs in the middle of the courtyard, a few green bamboos in the corner were swaying in the wind, and the branches and leaves collided to make a familiar rustling sound.

Although the yard is not very big, it is quiet and elegant, and He Xiaoqiao liked it almost at first sight.

Swinging back left and right, Jiang Fenghao made a 'please' gesture to He Xiaoqiao, and motioned for her to go to the house to take a closer look.

He Xiaoqiao was already eager to try, and when Jiang Fenghao nodded, confirming that this was the place where he would settle down in the future, he immediately cheered, lifted the corner of his skirt and rushed into the house.

The result was probably because he was in a hurry and didn't have time to pay attention to the ahead, and when He Xiaoqiao saw a figure in front of him, he couldn't stop the car, and after a short scream, the two slammed into a ball.

Fortunately, Jiang Fenghao quickly grabbed He Xiaoqiao's clothes in time, which saved her from the dilemma of throwing her face on the street, but the person who came out of the house was not so lucky, and the sky was in trouble, and she couldn't get up from lying on the ground now.

"Lotus picking?" Hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, He Xiaoqiao asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"Young lady, you're finally here." Cai Lian got up from the ground, didn't care about the hurt buttocks, happily grabbed He Xiaoqiao's hand and said, "The young master said let me continue to come over to serve you, the slave thought it was a dream before." ”

"Oh?" He Xiaoqiao turned his head and looked inquiringly at Jiang Fenghao, who was leaning by the door, who shrugged his shoulders and smiled brightly at her, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

So He Xiaoqiao also silently gave him a thumbs up: goodjob!

Cai Lian was still excited, "Young lady, do you want to prepare hot water now?" ”

"It's the princess." Jiang Fenghao corrected.

He Xiaoqiao just wanted to say that it didn't matter, but Cailian had already reacted and changed her words very cleverly, "Yes, princess!" Do you want to prepare a hot bath now? ”

He Xiaoqiao opened his mouth, and finally could only nod silently.

In a way, Cai Lian is indeed a dutiful maid - at least she has never forgotten that she, who is not a master, has a habit of bathing before bed.

"Lady," as soon as Cai Lian left, seeing that there was no one left and right, Jiang Fenghao immediately changed his expression, and looked at He Xiaoqiao very pitifully, "Lady, I am hungry for my husband......"

The corners of He Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched, "Aren't you unappetizing?" ”

"Now there is." Jiang Fenghao grinned and pretended to be innocent and played a scoundrel, and took the opportunity to ask for an order, "Lady, I want to eat shredded chicken noodles for my husband." ”

He Xiaoqiao glanced at him several times with the white area of his eyes, "...... I don't know the way and the kitchen doesn't necessarily have the materials"

"There is everything in the kitchen," Seeing her agree, Jiang Fenghao's whole face immediately lit up, and his phoenix eyes were full of excitement, "Let's go, I'll take you to take a look." ”

The so-called kitchen is actually in the courtyard where He Xiaoqiao lives, just a few steps away.

Jiang Fenghao walked in front, pushed the door open, and then took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp inside, and the whole room immediately lit up.

Spacious and tidy, this is He Xiaoqiao's first impression.

The cooking utensils are complete, and the things are also placed in an orderly manner, except for the water tank that occupies a relatively large area, there is a box-sized square container in the corner of the wall, Jiang Fenghao lifted off the clean straw covering it, and as soon as the lid was opened, there was immediately a chill on his face.

He Xiaoqiao looked down, and sure enough, he found a lot of broken ice cubes in the container, and there seemed to be something buried in the ice cubes.

This is...... Refrigerator?!

It didn't seem to notice He Xiaoqiao's surprised expression, Jiang Fenghao put down the oil lamp, pulled out a bare chicken that had been dehaired and eviscerated from the pile of ice cubes, and shook it in front of her like a treasure, "I said, there is everything." ”

"Yes, yes, you're the best."

He Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes, snatched the whole chicken that was not completely frozen and hardened, neatly washed the cutting board and kitchen knife, selected the necessary eggs, carrots, shallots, vegetable oil and other materials, and found a clay pot to start making noodles.

Jiang Fenghao has been watching her busy work, and occasionally goes over to help, just like when they lived in a bamboo house.

It's simple and relaxed, and it seems to have a bit of indescribable pleasure.

Cai Lian had already asked the little maid in the palace to help prepare hot water, and was about to come over to inform He Xiaoqiao, but the sharp-eyed Jiang Fenghao stopped her first and waved her back.

And all this, He Xiaoqiao, who was busy cutting and stir-frying, did not find out.

After a busy time, spread the fried and flavorful shredded chicken on the noodles, add the stock and chopped green onions, and a bowl of hot shredded chicken noodles is baked.

While Jiang Fenghao was feasting, He Xiaoqiao watched him eat from the side, and said his questions, "I don't know too much, do you like to eat the food I cook, or do you have an opinion on the chef in the house?" ”

"Of course I like the food you cook, lady." Jiang Fenghao took the time to reply, drank the last mouthful of soup, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction, "I don't have a problem with chefs, I just don't like those things that are delicate and fancy and don't feel good." ”

"You don't like it, but there are a lot of people who can't hope for it."

He Xiaoqiao was used to putting away the dishes and chopsticks, and while rinsing them with hot water, he turned his head and asked curiously, "By the way, you said that the food didn't feel good?" What does it really feel like? ”

"Knocked me out." Jiang Fenghao spread his hands, "Actually, it's just such a feeling, if you want me to say it, I really can't describe it, probably ...... I guess it's just like it or like it. ”

To say it is to say nothing.

"Actually, my mother is also a good cook, but she doesn't like to go to the kitchen, and she always dislikes that place is too greasy." Probably thinking of the past days, Jiang Fenghao's eyes were full of nostalgia, "Occasionally, when I am in a good mood, my mother will also cook, and I am happiest at that time, because the things made by my mother are better than any imperial chef in the palace, especially the jade soup, even my father will never forget it." ”

"Jade fresh soup......" He Xiaoqiao made him say extremely yearningly, and stars flashed in his eyes, "I really want to try what it tastes like." ”

She has always been highly curious about food she has never tasted.

"If the lady wants to eat, I can tell you the ingredients and the general method, but if you want to try this dish made by my mother, it is absolutely impossible." Jiang Fenghao laughed, and naturally stepped forward to take the dishes and chopsticks she had washed and put them away.

"Why?" Could it be that his mother's concubine is still picky when she invites guests to dinner?

Jiang Fenghao shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and made a brief note with regret, "To put it simply, your mother-in-law and my mother were reincarnated with my father and emperor several years ago, so, of course, it can't be." ”

Unless she has the ability to go to heaven and earth, she can find his deceased mother from Lord Yama.

He Xiaoqiao Mo raised his hand and patted his arm for a long time, and comforted him in a heavy tone, "...... Condolences change. ”

"It was all a few years ago, and it's long gone." Jiang Fenghao laughed and reached out to rub He Xiaoqiao's head, "It's not too early, let's rest early." ”

He Xiaoqiao gave him a blank look, if he hadn't said that he was hungry and wanted to eat noodles, would she still be in the kitchen now?

Untying the apron tied to his waist, He Xiaoqiao suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what about Cailian?" Where did it go? ”

Why haven't you seen anyone for so long?

"Princess, I'm here." Cailian, who had been guarding the door, heard that she was being named, and hurriedly jumped out.

thought that Jiang Fenghao still wanted to be ambiguously alone with He Xiaoqiao, in order to show that she knew 'do not look at indecent things', she also politely blocked both eyes with her hands.

He Xiaoqiao couldn't cry or laugh, this little girl, even if she wants to be crooked, she doesn't have to be so obvious.

took two steps forward and pulled her hand down, He Xiaoqiao asked her, "Where did you run just now?" What about hot water? ”

Cai Lian looked at He Xiaoqiao, and then at Jiang Fenghao, who was standing next to her with an unfathomable face, and asked very seriously: "Lord Wang, now can I tell the princess that the hot water has been cold for a long time?" ”
