Chapter Twenty-Nine: A String of White Jade Beads
The next day, Cheng Qingwan, who had dark circles under her eyes, went to the carriage with Yuanqi.
She walked all the way, yawning all the way.
"Didn't sleep well last night?"
"yes, as soon as I rolled over, I fell to the ground, can I sleep well." Cheng Qingwan looked at the person in front of her: "Otherwise, let's change the bed tonight, how about you and Lian Song live in the attic?" ”
Yuan Qi nodded, and there was no emotion on his face: "The guest is as good as the host." ”
Cheng Qingwan was a little surprised, and thought that she would have to talk for a long time, but she didn't expect to agree so easily.
Yuanqi took her to the carriage and said softly, "You get in the carriage first, I'll pack a few clothes." ”
"Okay." Cheng Qingwan responded and immediately got into the carriage.
She opened the window and looked around.
In this courtyard, except for the lanterns hanging in front of the three tiled houses, the others are exactly the same as the village chief's house next door.
He is really aggrieved as an official, every pavilion chief has a special mansion, a beautiful wife, and all kinds of attendants and concubines, but he has to squeeze three tiled houses with four or five attendants here.
However, I didn't see those attendants today.
Before Cheng Qingwan could retract her head, she was arrested.
Yuan Qi had no expression on his face, and after getting into the carriage, he handed her a box in his hand.
"This is pressed on you first, and when Azhu comes back, I will redeem it."
Cheng Qingwan opened the sandalwood box and saw a white bead lying inside, which looked very ordinary.
"This bracelet is made of white jade, each bead is carved by the most famous Master Shen of the previous dynasty, if you look closely, you can also see the woman inside, the only one in the entire capital."
When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she immediately lowered her head to look, and sure enough, there were some things carved on each bead, there were pavilions, flowers, birds, and beasts, but the woman he said looked a little out of place.
Yuanqi seemed to know the doubts in her heart, and immediately opened her mouth to explain.
"This string of beads was taken by the emperor of the previous dynasty to coax the concubine, and the concubine has never liked these scenes, so she asked the master to add a bead and carve herself on."
Cheng Qingwan pursed her lips, which seemed a bit nondescript.
She covered the box and handed it back, according to what he had just described, this game must be very valuable, you can't ask for it, you must not ask for it, what if it causes death.
"I thought about it, this thing has to be kept by you, put it here with me, in case someone with a heart targets it, what can you do to kill people and rob money?"
"No, they can't avoid it." Yuan Qi took the bracelet and put it on her hand, and chuckled: "Master Shen annoyed the favorite concubine, and was accused of the Nine Clans, and all his works were devalued as worthless. ”
"That is, worthless?"
"If you take it, it will be worth a few taels of silver."
Cheng Qingwan touched the bracelet on her wrist and muttered softly: "Isn't this a tyrannical thing." ”
Yuan Qi smiled, pretended not to hear, and went out to drive the carriage to Cheng's house.
After a while, the carriage stopped in the yard and carried the pastries and cornmeal prepared in the morning to the carriage, and then Cheng Qingwan drove the carriage away.
Song Qiaoqiao and Lian Zhi sat in the back, did they poke their heads out to chat with her, and they were not so boring along the way.
When she arrived in the town, Cheng Qingwan sent the cornmeal to Zuifenglou.
As soon as the two of them got out of the car, Xiao Er greeted them.
"Objective, inside please!"
"I'm looking for you Chef Chen." Cheng Qingwan was stunned and hurriedly said.
Xiao Er looked the three of them up and down, and saw that they were all wearing cloth clothes, holding their hair with wooden hairpins, and there were no jewelry on their bodies.
Cheng Qingwan was swept very uncomfortable by his eyes, and frowned: "Is your chef Chen here?" ”
Xiao Er turned her head impatiently and saw the bracelet she was carrying, her eyes were shining, her attitude was directly 180 degrees, and her face was full of smiles.
"Yes, yes, I'll take you there."
Cheng Qingwan was a little surprised to see this Sichuan drama's face change, and she didn't know what she saw that made his eyes glow.
The three of them followed to the back kitchen, and after a while, they saw Chef Chen who was directing his apprentices to do things.
"Brother Chen, someone is looking for you." Xiao Er stood at the door and shouted, and the people inside quickly walked out.
Chef Chen looked at the person in front of him and greeted him with a smile.
"Ouch, girl, it's been a long time."
"Chef Chen." Cheng Qingwan smiled on her face and nodded slightly at him: "Last time, were you satisfied with the dish?" ”
"Satisfied, very satisfied. The distinguished guest was at the table, but he kept praising the dish and rewarded many things. As soon as Chef Chen said this, the wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together.
"It's good to be satisfied." Cheng Qingwan looked at his smile and was also happy: "Do you remember the corn I mentioned to you last time?" ”
"Remember, remember, I remember you said you had soybeans, did you bring them all today?"
"I didn't bring soybeans, I brought cornmeal." Cheng Qingwan touched her nose and said with a smile: "This corn originally had more than 1,000 catties, but it was eaten by the refugees in the first two months, and I was afraid that the rest would be broken, so I ground it into cornmeal." ”
When Chef Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, I will accept all the orders as much as you have." ”
Cheng Qingwan exclaimed refreshmently and brought the person to the carriage.
Chef Chen was talking while asking Xiao Er to check the corn.
As soon as Xiao Er saw the cornmeal, his face instantly drooped, and he walked up to the chef and said indignantly: "Chef, this is not corn, this is ......."
Chef Chen was stunned for a moment, walked over to check it himself, looked at the golden powder in front of him, and asked softly, "Girl, what is this?" ”
"Cornmeal." Cheng Qingwan looked at his blank face and hurriedly called the system in her mind.
'This dynasty must not be without cornmeal!' ’
'No ......'
Cheng Qingwan was speechless, her brain was running quickly, to see how she could convince the person in front of her.
"Otherwise, you can make a dish with this cornmeal, we will all taste it, and if it is delicious, I will take it for you."
Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to have made any dishes with cornmeal, and she did have a recipe about this in her mind.
However, the system has it, when will the system be used at this time?
Cheng Qingwan smiled again, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll do it for you." ”
Chef Chen responded and ordered someone to bring the cornmeal into the kitchen.
When Cheng Qingwan followed in, she looked for a system in her mind to ask for a method.
She stood in the kitchen and picked a suitable basin: "I need flour, eggs, hot water, salt, and room temperature water. ”
When Chef Chen heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the things.
Cheng Qingwan put two bowls of cornmeal into a basin, heated the water, and stirred until it became granular.
Then, beat in the eggs, add salt and stir well.
Add the flour again, add the water, knead the dough and set aside.
Cheng Qingwan raised her head, took a piece of pork from the corner, and said to the system while cutting it: "Xiaoxiao, help me change the seasoning package." ”
"Okay, after deducting five hundred points, you have 1611 points left."
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Qingwan took out various spices from her sleeve.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded, how big are your sleeves, you can put so many bottles and cans.
After the meat is cut, the stove is heated, a pot of water is placed, and the lid is closed.
