Flowers are expensive

Chapter 304 Xi Xi's Jang Geum Dinner 2
Xixiben is not good at making tea, even lighting the fire three or four times was blown away by a gust of cool wind.She said to the furnace hole angrily: "Can you be more energetic?"

Yuan Yin was sitting on the railing, looking around with the cool wind blowing, when he heard Xi Xi's complaint, he turned his head and glanced at her.She hurriedly waved her hand at Yuan Yin and said, "I'm not... the little one is not talking about you, but the little one is talking about this damn stove!"

"I can't light it myself, is it the stove?" Yuan Yin asked her.

"It's too windy..."

"People are too stupid!"

"I..." Xixi's face turned redder.

Yuan Yin got up suddenly and walked towards the inner court.Xixi hurriedly put down the torch in her hand and chased after him, asking, "Hey... where are you going?"

"Just look."

"Anyway, let's wait until the young master comes back! This is his place..."

Yuan Yin just walked in, exploring every place carefully.Xixi followed behind him worriedly, and babbled a lot, but he was completely unmoved, and walked around as usual.Xixi rolled her eyes, followed behind him and muttered, "Your Highness is amazing? Do you understand breaking into a private house?"

"If you have an errand, it's not called trespassing." Yuan Yin turned her head and cast a cold look at her, and walked towards the corridor again.

Xixi was taken aback, saying that he could hear it in such a low voice?cat ears?Is it downwind?When are you going to go shopping?etc!Errands?what errand?
Xixi hurriedly caught up with Yuan Yin and asked, "You said you have an errand, what kind of errand? You don't come here to catch some imperial criminal, do you?"

"It's said to be an errand, do you still dare to inquire? How many heads do you have?"

"Do you lose your head if you inquire about errands?"

"How can you inquire about the affairs of the government office?" Yuan Yin suddenly stopped in front of a room door, took a deep breath, and said to himself, "Ai Ye?"

"It's Ai Ye," Xi Xi nodded, "What's the matter? Is Ai Ye a criminal committed by the imperial court?"

"Does your young master like some mugwort leaves?"

"Occasionally, these few days he said that he had some nosebleeds, so he smoked with mugwort leaves at night." Xi Xi looked at Yuan Yin puzzled and said.

"Smoke it?" Yuan Yin took another breath, always feeling that this smell is not something that can be smelled just by smoking it, it's a bit strong.He suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Xixi: "Can you smell anything else in here besides Ai Ye?"

Xixi sniffed it carefully and said, "It smells like frankincense, and... a little bit of cypress."

"Does your young master like this fragrance very much?"

"I don't know about the young one, maybe the young master decided to match him on a whim?"

When Yuan Yin was about to push open the door, Meng Hengqing and Zhao Xun suddenly came back.Meng Heng walked over briskly, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "This is the shabby house of the grassroots, is the prince interested in taking a look? The grassroots don't mind, I'm afraid it will dirty the prince's precious eyes. There is also a big pond behind the house , it’s full of summer lotus, why don’t you ask Cao Min to take the prince there to have a look?”

Yuan Yin glanced at Meng Heng lightly, and said: "Okay, I think this place is very quiet, so I simply stayed here tonight, what do you think?"

"Stay...stay?" Meng Hengqing's face changed instantly.Xixi pouted quietly beside her, and muttered in her heart: Who is it?You still have the cheek to live here, so get out of here!
"What's wrong?" Yuan Yin looked at Meng Heng lightly, "I can't live here?"

Meng Heng smiled calmly and said: "Your Majesty is too worried! Since Your Majesty likes the hut of Caomin, how can Caomin refuse to welcome him? It's just that the bedding here is simple, and there are no other servants except Xixi and Caomin. I'm afraid the prince won't get used to it..."

"It's okay," Yuan Yin interrupted Meng Hengqing hastily, "She is enough. Zhao Xun, go and tell Hu Po that we will stay here tonight."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Hengqing's face became even more ugly.Yuan Yin pretended not to see, and led Zhao Xun to continue to look at the scenery elsewhere.Xixi tugged at Meng Hengqing's sleeve and asked softly, "Master, what are we going to do for dinner tonight? It's okay to fool you with my skills, but to fool him...Eldest Young Master? Eldest Young Master? What are you thinking? "

Meng Hengqing came back to his senses and asked: "Xi Xi, what did the prince stand at the door and say to you just now?"

"He just smelled the smell of mugwort leaves, so he stopped and asked me a few words, nothing else."

Meng Hengqing's face turned blue, and he waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, tonight's dinner is the same, it's better not to fool him, so that he doesn't want to live here! Remember, the worse the food is, the better!"

"It doesn't matter?" Xi Xi looked puzzled, "If he doesn't like it, wouldn't my head be safe?"

"Don't worry, I don't think he'll let you lose your head just for a meal. Think about it, he's going to be addicted to living here every day, you serve?"

Xixi doesn't want to serve that cold loofah!She decided to form a united front with Meng Hengqing, and drive away that cold loofah with crude food!Although doing so will make her notorious in the food industry, but her cooking is not very delicious, and only a careless person like Meng Hengqing will make it, presumably the cold loofah master and servant can't stand it of.So she decided—play as usual and strive to be the best!
In the evening, when the helpers came to hand over the peaches they had picked for the day, Meng Hengqing had to hurry to work in the cellar, while Xixi was tinkling in the stove and busy with her "Jang Geum Dinner"!Yuan Yin and Zhao Xun sat on the terrace, sipping tea and talking.

"Master, do you really suspect that Qing Yi is here?" Zhao Xun asked in a low voice.

"If I'm not wrong, it should be, and the injury hasn't healed yet," Yuan Yin sipped his tea and sneered, "You know medicine, and how can mugwort leaves, frankincense and cypress be used for incense? You should be better than me. Understand."

"Aiye cools and stops bleeding, frankincense calms pain, and cypress soothes the mind. For a wounded person, this spice recipe is the best! However, master, you have never been interested in spices. How do you know that there are such spices in it? How much flavor?"

"Liang Xixi said."

Zhao Xun smiled: "I see."

"Meng Hengqing just had a few drops of nosebleeds, so what's the use of pain relief? Besides, he works in the orchard all day long, and he will fall asleep when his neck stiffens, so what's the use of calming his mind? Such a strong smell of mugwort leaves, it is obvious that someone is eager Bleeding needed to be stopped and there were no readily available wound medicines."

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "This subordinate understands! Do you want Amber to come?"

Yuan Yin shook his head and said, "This is a matter between me and Qing Yi, and I have to deal with it myself."

When it was almost dark, Meng Hengqing was busy with the work in the cellar.As soon as he came back, Xixi came out and announced that dinner was ready!

The dinner was placed in the small hall next to the corridor, and the small river and the sky full of stars could be seen through the window.After Xixi put the five dishes and one soup on the table, she said with an extremely anxious smile: "Please... Please use it slowly! I'm not very good at cooking, please forgive me, my lord and Mr. Zhao Xun!" After she finished speaking, she flashed to Meng Hengqing went behind.

Meng Heng chuckled lightly and said: "Xixi has never been good at cooking, maybe she can be a good storyteller. If the prince is not used to eating, go back to the inn!"

Zhaoxun replied: "If you come, you will be safe, please!"

The three of them moved their chopsticks, and Xixi carefully observed the expressions on their faces.Sure enough, after Zhao Xun ate his first mouthful of stir-fried shredded potatoes, the expression on his face clearly said that this is considered a dish?Although Zhao Xun is not a flamboyant person, he is used to being pampered in Youwang's mansion anyway, and he is quite particular about food.It is really hard for the old man to eat the dishes on Xixi's table.

Meng Hengqing secretly laughed inwardly, and contentedly put the food in his mouth.Fortunately, he never cared about eating, and he was used to Xixi's practice of eating half raw and half charred, so he was quite happy to eat.

Yuan Yin was the last to move his chopsticks.The first thing I tasted was Xi Xi's fried apple slices.That is a dish that Xixi has a slight sense of accomplishment.She's all about this besides egg custard.With the mentality of not messing everything up, she still presented a slightly better dish, so as not to irritate Uncle Zhao completely.

Xixi watched Yuan Yin stuff the unattractive fried apple slices into his mouth, and his heart immediately rose to his throat!She secretly prayed, or she would just swallow it and say it was delicious!Or get angry and slap the table, throw your chopsticks and leave!But the result was——Yuan Yin neither got angry nor nodded and said it was delicious, but ate it calmly, and—— finished a plate of fried apple slices!
Even Zhao Xun was quite surprised, when did his master's taste degenerate to this point?The plate of fried apple slices is quite substandard, sweet and sticky, and even a little mushy. It's better to serve a plate of ready-made apple slices!
Meng Hengqing was also surprised, and couldn't help asking: "My lord likes...the apple slices fried by Xixi?"

Yuan Yin stopped the chopsticks, and said three words lightly: "It's hard to eat."

With a sound of "puchi", Xixi lowered her head and laughed first. This is the voice of Uncle Zhao from the bottom of his heart!
Meng Hengqing was even more strange: "Then the lord ate the whole plate? Your lord, don't let it be! If you are not full, I will send you back to the inn right now, so that everyone can eat the whole plate." The cook will prepare another table for you? If you want to treat you lightly, the grass people can't afford it!"

Yuan Yin didn't answer Meng Hengqing's words, but raised his eyelids and took a look at Xixi.Xixi didn't understand what he meant, so she frowned and asked, "My lord, you... what do you mean? Is it not delicious?"

"Add rice, won't you?"

"Ah?" Xixi was really taken aback, and hurried to get more food with his rice bowl.The two next to him were even a little dumbfounded.Leaving aside Meng Hengqing's incomprehension, even Zhao Xun was puzzled, what kind of evil did this hit?My master actually called Tim Fan?How long has it been since I heard of this?In the past six months, my master either didn't eat, or threw away the chopsticks after finishing the bowl, and never added a bowl and a half.Even if Mrs. You and Tang Xuanzhen tried their best to get him food in different ways, they never saw him eating so vigorously!
Xixi put some food in front of him, and when he was about to get up, Yuan Yin said another word: "Soup."

"Soup?" Xixi's mind turned faster this time, and she quickly served him a bowl of soup.Ever since, everyone watched as Uncle Zhao finished three bowls of white rice, drank two more bowls of Xixi's homemade loofah vermicelli broth, and then left the table satisfied, leaving only a little bit of "how come back" to the other three people? thing".

As soon as Zhao Xun and Yuan Yin left, Meng Hengqing asked Xi Xi who was collecting the bowls and chopsticks: "Is your food so delicious?"

Xixi was also puzzled, and pouted: "Young master, the conscience of heaven and earth! You have tasted it yourself. This is indeed my average level, right? Except for the fried apple skin, which uses my [-]% strength, I do everything else by hand. Come on, I made it without even thinking about it!"

"Then what's going on? Then Prince Zhao seems to like eating your dishes very much!"

Xixi clasped her hands together and whispered, "Could it be that he has no sense of taste?"

"No sense of taste? You can always see it with your eyes! Mr. Zhao Xun can't eat any of your dishes... Xixi," Meng Hengqing asked with a puzzled face, "You and Zhao Yuanyin didn't know each other before, did he?"

"Eldest young master, if you have more imagination, do you have to say that I have been his cook before? Do you think Prince You's mansion will invite a cook like me? Treating guests to a banquet will not kill Prince You!" The face is weird!"
