Chapter 39: Osmanthus Yam
Ji Rong Jin's heart jumped inexplicably, and his relieved anger came up again, "Don't bother Your Highness, the folk girl will write when she goes back tonight, and I promise to deliver it to Your Highness early tomorrow morning." β
Yan Tao swept his eyes, his face was indifferent, his eyes were cold and cold, and he got up straight and went out without any emotion.
"...... goes, just go!" Osmanthus Lane is not the only one.
The sky is getting late, the evening breeze is coming, the heat of the day is gone, and it is blowing head-on, refreshing and pleasant.
"Ji Niangzi, pleaseβ" Kang Tai stretched out his hand, smiling all over his face.
Looking at the morning tea house, even at night, there were still people coming and going at the door, Ji Rongjin really didn't want to take a carriage with King Qi, it was too ostentatious!
However, the big man sat in the carriage, and a pair of Danfeng eyes looked at her so unsalted, she had to go to the shelf like a duck that was driven.
Come on, just sit down!
The little lady looked at death as if she were at home in Yan Tao's eyes, lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose.
In the morning tea house, a woman who looked like a maid, holding a large and small steamed soy sauce in her hand, looked at the carriage of His Royal Highness King Qi in the distance, with a resentful look, her thin lips closed up and down, and she didn't know what to spit out secretly, quickly got into a small oil car, and urged the carriage to run.
Outside the door, Shi and the head of the procurement office entered the door and asked the doorman, "That female envoy just now is a person from the Xuanping Hou Lu family?" β
The young man nodded, "Yes, Shi Zhangshi, bought a lot of snacks for the eldest lady of the Lu family." β
Buying snacks for the big night? Stone was a little puzzled.
The young man reminded with a smile, "Your Highness has just been here. β
Oh, I see! The Holy Lord intends to marry King Qi and the Lu family, and the Lu family can't wait for it, but His Royal Highness is there......
The silver moonlight sprinkled on the ground, the crickets cried out of the corners of the alley, and the fragrance of August osmanthus filled the air, intertwined with the moonlight, and everything in heaven and earth was enveloped in it.
Restrained all the way, getting out of the carriage, Ji Rongjin squeezed out a smile: "The people's girl will not disturb His Highness's rest, and the specific plan for renting a warship will be sent over early tomorrow morning." With that, he ran to his door.
"Where's dinner?"
His Royal Highness King Qi asked faintly from behind.
Ji Rongjin suddenly stopped, and wanted to turn around and ask, without her, wouldn't he be able to eat dinner? It's a pity that there is a thief who has no thief heart, so he turned around suddenly and smiled cowardly, "Then what does Your Highness want to eat?" β
"Whatever!" Yan Tao stepped into the threshold with his hands in his hands, leaving her with only a long and leisurely back.
Patting his face, Ji Rongjin cheered up, "Steward Kang, I'll go home and get some ingredients first." β
"I'm tired of Ji Niangzi."
"You're welcome."
Ji Rongjin went home and wanted to take some ingredients to the shelter to do, and found that there were hairy crabs hoarding at home, and the stove next door was not as good as her improved stove, so he asked Aunt Guo to go next door to talk about it, and she would bring the prepared meal.
Aunt Guo didn't dare.
"It's okay, just say that my stove is easy to use, and I can make dinner quickly."
Aunt Guo waited until the little lady's crab was steamed before she went to the next door tremblingly.
In the kitchenette, the oil lamp was warm.
Ji Rongjin stood in front of the oil lamp to cook, tonight he mainly used crabs, made a steamed crab, and by the way, made four lion heads with crab roe, and then mixed rice, one crab and three meals, which was both delicious and trouble-free.
The vegetarian dish is the okra that has just been picked in the yard, and a boiled okra, osmanthus yam, and a pork ribs and winter melon soup will live.
The improved stove is like an oven, rice, crab, okra, yam, pork ribs and winter melon soup come to a pot, just wait for the pot, separate the head and body of the hairy crab, pick the most delicious crab roe and mix it into the steamed white rice, pour in a small amount of soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, a crab roe bibimbap;
Crab roe lion head is a traditional famous dish, belongs to Huaiyang cuisine, the main raw materials are pork belly, crab roe, water chestnut, etc., the pork belly is diced, the water chestnut is peeled and crushed, the crab roe and crab meat are prepared, put into the flavor product, egg white, etc. to make meatballs into the pot and steam well, take it out and sprinkle some shallots to decorate, the fragrance is fragrant, the crab is fresh and the meat is tender, refreshing and soft and glutinous.
Osmanthus yam belongs to Cantonese cuisine, sweet and refreshing, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it is too suitable for eating when the autumn is dry and dry, moistens the lungs and goes to the fire, refreshing and pleasant.
Boiling okra is even simpler, and it is not too good to take it out of the steamer and pour in the fresh soy sauce that you brew yourself.
The meal is eaten, and at the end there is a bowl of light winter melon pork rib soup, and the whole day is complete.
Under the dim oil lamp, looking at the food and smelling the aroma, Ji Rongjin felt very full, and his sense of happiness flowed smoothly in the small kitchen.
"Are you alright?"
Suddenly, a low male voice came, startling Ji Rongjin and almost dropping the food box in his hand.
Your Highness...... "Why are you here?"
"I'm afraid that if you don't come again, you will steal and eat all this food."
She just compensated for whether the food tasted good or not.
Something seems wrong.
"Temple...... His Royal Highness ......, "He saw the dish just now, and he won't dislike it, it's really embarrassing!"
Yan Tao didn't seem to notice her blue and white face, her long body was jade, hearty and clear, and the dim space of the small kitchen was suddenly 'full of light' because of his arrival.
It turns out that this is how the idiom came from.
"You're not hungry?"
"......" Ji Rongjin, who was stunned, suddenly woke up, wiped his nose in embarrassment, picked up the dishes on the table and put them in the food box, Yan Tao stopped him, "There is no need to mention the next door." β
ββ¦β¦β
Yan Tao's Danfeng eyes rose slightly, "Look at me full?" β
"......" was embarrassing, and Ji Rongjin didn't know how to reply.
Yan Tao turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Aunt Guo received Kang Tai's eyes and hurriedly came in to serve, "Rong Niang, you entertain Your Highness, the old slave here comes." β
It's not been a day or two since I met King Qi, and it's not once or twice that I have cooked for him, but it's the first time I've sat down at a table with him to eat.
Wasn't the hierarchy of the ancients quite strict, so why did she allow a commoner's daughter to eat with him?
Ji Rongjin's mind was stuck here, and he didn't expect another layer at all: she was Qi Wang Yantao's 'outer room', if there was such a relationship, it was not impossible for men and women to sit at the same table to eat.
For a meal, how did King Qi eat, Ji Rongjin didn't know, anyway, she didn't know what it tasted like when she ate it.
After the meal was finished, the table was cleaned up, but King Qi still had no sign of leaving, Ji Rongjin's heart was no longer beating inexplicably, but trembling, and he said in his heart that this guy would not turn the fake 'outer room' into a real outer room!
That's a big joke.
"Your Highness......" Ji Rongjin pointed to the moon outside, "It doesn't seem to be early." β
"You know it's getting late?" Yan Tao looked like an old god, smiling but not smiling.
What does "......" mean? Ji Rongjin's heart trembled inexplicably.
The little lady blinked, Yan Tao leaned back in the chair, put her hands on the armrests of the circle chair, and looked at her meaninglessly.
What is this for? Ji Rongjin wanted to pretend to be stupid, but his IQ didn't allow it, so he coughed, "Your Palace...... Your Highness, our relationship ......"
"Huh?" Yan Tao looked at her with a smile on his face, and looked at her for a long time.
