Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 41: Prince Enlightenment
Treasurer Zhu is in his restaurant, drinking the freshly delivered spring tea with his legs crossed, while waiting for the good news of the closure of Sungai Tower. After waiting for two days, Sungai Tower still opened the door and opened the door. Business, I was busy asking people to inquire, and only then did I know that Ning Xi had returned safely.
Manager Zhu was so angry that he smashed a set of cloisonne cups. He hated that Li, who took money but didn't do things well, had to find someone to reprimand him.
But on Ningxi's side, Rong Daquan went to the street and bought several books for Ningxi that could be used for the chef's assessment: "Ningxi, the chef's assessment is divided into two parts. A certain understanding, you can make the ingredients randomly assigned by the other party, and the taste can pass the assessment of the five chief examiners. We are all very relieved; the other part is the written test, and most of the content of the test is in these books. It's just that the time is a little rushed, I'm afraid you will have to work harder these days."
Ning Xi took the book with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Rong." After reading it for a while, he found that the book was all about some superficial cooking knowledge, nothing more than characteristics and cooking methods, etc. It introduced the mutual growth and mutual restraint of various ingredients. These contents are only a small part of the things she is already familiar with. For her, there is no need to spend time here.
Just not wanting to let down Rong Daquan's heart, Ning Xi carefully put the book aside: "Brother Rong has a heart, I will take a good look at it, you go to work first, I can't cook right now, the kitchen It's all up to you."
"Look at what you said, these things are my duty." After Rong Daquan finished speaking, he strode into the kitchen.
Ningxi had nothing to do, and went to the warehouse to find a large bag of ginger, ready to make some snacks.
Cut the tender **** into small pieces, scald the hot water to remove part of the spiciness, soak it in honey, and take it out when you want to eat it, it is a sweet, crispy and delicious appetizer snack, honey ginger; and bad ginger, it is better to choose the whole Ginger, do not touch raw water, wipe it with a dry cloth, and after it is half dry, add stale grains and an appropriate amount of salt in a one-to-one proportion, plus the purple morning glory picked on the day, remove the stems and mix with sugar and The **** is sealed together in the urn, and the urn can be opened after seven days. The **** is bright red and looks good, and the flavor is particularly special.
Meng Shuangshuang greeted the guests at the front. After working for a long time, she finally had time to drink water to catch her breath. She suddenly remembered Ning Xi, and went to the backyard to see her. Seeing her busy, she asked, "Brother Rong didn't say you were there. Are you reading? What are you tinkering with?"
Ning Xi smiled and said, "It's nothing to do, let's make some snacks."
"What time is it now, you still do these things, don't do it, hurry up and endorse it. Brother Rong said that as long as he recites all the books he bought, passing the chef assessment will not be a problem."
"Shuangshuang, do you think that in our restaurant, do the chefs, the second chefs, and the third chefs have chef licenses?"
"Of course. After your accident, I was worried that something was wrong, so I asked them to take out all the chef cards for me to see."
"Then you say, how could I not pass the chef's license even they can pass the test, what are you worrying about!"
"Are you serious?"
"Naturally take it seriously, when have I lied to you?"
"That's right, what are you doing now, Ningxi?"
"I'm going to make some brown sugar ginger. It's trivial and time-consuming to make. I usually don't have time to do it. Now I have a few days to spare, so I'll make it first." , take a bottle with a layer of **** slices and a layer of prunes, and then seal it with brown sugar mixed with morning glory, "After pickling, this brown sugar **** is sweet and sour and slightly spicy, and it is the most appetizing."
Meng Shuangshuang sighed: "It's you, you have so much thought to play with these foods."
Ning Xi smiled and said, "I really like doing these things, and I don't feel tired when I do them. By the way, how is Miss An these days? Are you still complaining?"
"I didn't expect her to be very motivated. She has been chopping cucumbers hard these days!"
"What about the Prince of Qi, who hasn't come to the door these days?"
"Yeah, I came here a few times in the first few days, but I haven't seen a trace these days."
Jun Shaofeng was sitting in Jun Qianyu's study, flipping through a new book of words boredly, and suddenly sneezed a lot, rubbing his arms involuntarily: "Who is talking about this in the daytime? Where's my lord!"
A few days ago, he went to the school for a drink. He had a little conflict with the younger son of the Minister of Rites for a song-singer, and he had a little trouble. He was detained by the King of Qi. The family thought about it behind closed doors. Today, the lord finally showed mercy and promised to let him come out to let him out, but he was not allowed to run around, so he had to come here.
I didn't expect Jun Qianyu to be summoned into the palace by the Queen's concubine early in the morning. He hasn't come back yet. Fortunately, he carried a book of words that the young servant bought back, so it wouldn't be too much. Totally boring.
I almost fell asleep when I waited, and suddenly I heard a noise outside the door. It sounded like Jun Qianyu had come back. A maid came to say hello, but he was shouted away. Jun Shaofeng was about to stand up and go out. After taking a closer look, Jun Qianyu came in angrily, threw a booklet on the desk, and poured herbal tea to drink.
"Yo, what's wrong with fifth brother? Could it be that the empress is still angry with you?"
Jun Qianyu sneered and said, "I didn't give it to me, but I gave it to this." He pointed to the booklet on the table.
Jun Shaofeng picked up the booklet curiously and turned it over. After reading a few pages, he couldn't help but sighed: "As expected, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there are so many stunning beauties in this book, don't you think Fifth Brother doesn't? An eye-catching one?"
"Which one you want to see, you should marry and go home as soon as possible, so as not to be seen by my mother, but it's not your turn."
Jun Shaofeng laughed: "The Queen is forcing you to marry again, brother, I'm not telling you, you'll be nineteen in two months, and there's not even a woman in the room. It's a bit outrageous."
Jun Qianyu frowned: "What's good about women, I'm so annoying." As a prince, as early as the age of thirteen or fourteen, the palace would arrange for experienced maids to come to open the door. I don't know if he was unlucky or something else, but this first experience was extremely bad. Not only was it unsuccessful, but it also hurt him so much that he was so angry that he kicked him out of bed.
The palace maid was terrified, kneeling and begging bitterly, her face covered with tears and snot, and her white flesh dangling in front of his eyes, which only made him feel sick, but he still didn't say it in the end. , First of all, I don't want to commit murder in vain, and secondly, I feel that I have no face, and I don't want to mention it again.
Anyway, from now on, he didn't have any good feelings for women, and he mercilessly drove away all those sent by the queen to serve him.
At the age of sixteen, he left the palace and opened the mansion. The queen gave him two beauties. He placed them in the backyard and he didn't do much, so the two of them fought secretly first. Jun Qianyu was devoted to martial arts and opened the mansion. He had been thrown into the army camp by the emperor before and participated in two small battles. After returning to Beijing, he rarely stayed at home. He spent most of the time in the army camp. When he came home occasionally, he heard that two beauties wanted to The pickled things he did to frame the other party, and in a rage, he sent two beauties he had never touched to a village in the countryside. It was only because of the queen's face that he couldn't sell them. Send away far away out of sight.
In short, for Jun Qianyu, a woman means trouble, and it's best not to get involved with it for the rest of your life.
"But for the Empress, this time it won't be so easy to get off work this time, but I heard that she is very keen to call young women from various families into the palace recently. It can't be to choose a concubine for your eldest brother, he But there are people who are Zhengfei." Jun Shaofeng said.
Jun Qianyu sighed: "Forget it, she can choose what she likes. Anyway, when she gets married, she lives in the backyard. Anyway, I won't stay in this capital for too long. After waiting for my father to feel better, I always asked him to let me go back to the north."
"You were injured so badly last time that you almost lost your life. Even if the emperor agreed, the empress might not want you to go out again!"
"Let's talk about it!" Jun Qianyu obviously didn't want to mention it again, "Are you hungry, why don't you go out to eat something?"
"Okay, where to eat?"
“Shuangxi Tower.”
"Yes, I haven't seen that girl Ning Xi for several days, and I really miss her!"
"I think you're thinking about her cooking!"
"Can't you think about it? Did I say you're not annoying women? Why don't you bother Ning Xi?"
Jun Qianyu smiled: "What kind of woman is she, she's just a little girl at best."
Arrived at Shuangxi Tower, and just sat down, Jun Shaofeng was about to ask Ningxi to quickly cook some special dishes, but unexpectedly the little Er said, "Today's chef is Chef Rong, Ning Dong's house these few days I don't even cook."
"Hey, why is this? Could it be that Miss Ning is ill?" Jun Shaofeng asked curiously, and glanced at Jun Qianyu, who also looked nervous and stared at the little Er.
The little Er was a little panicked when they saw it like this: "No, no, Ning Dong's family is not sick, it's just that she doesn't have a chef license and can't cook."
"No chef card?" Jun Shaofeng laughed, "This girl is so brave!"
Jun Qianyu also smiled: "If you don't have it, then there will be no more. It's not that you haven't done it before, is it still worse this time?"
Did Xiao Erwei: "It's just that something happened a few days ago. Lord Jingzhao Yin Huang told Ning Dong's family that they must not cook again recently, so as not to cause trouble again."
Jun Qianyu's face turned cold: "I haven't been here for a few days, so what happened?" He was a person who had been in the military camp, and when he was angry, he exuded a vicious aura all over his body. Frightened that little Er was trembling all over, but stammered but couldn't say why.
Jun Shaofeng sighed and waved his hand to let him go down: "It's really useless, go and call that girl surnamed Meng over."
