Chapter 507: Dongshi imitation
Chapter 507 Dong Shi imitates me
Sang Kun ordered the dishes that Princess Qian disliked, except fresh pepper Shunfeng turbot fish, chopped pepper fish head, spicy shredded chicken, and toothpick mutton were all brought up.
Looking at the weird dishes one after another, even the arrangement of the dishes was very different from the royal banquet in the palace, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Having tasted the sweetness of Da Maha, Concubine Yue took the lead in picking up dishes without any scruples and tasted all the dishes on the table one by one.
The spicy and delicious fish head with chopped peppers has a more exciting taste than the fish cooked in the palace, but it has a little less fishy smell. It is very refreshing, and she can't stop eating it.
Looking at the resentful expressions, she didn't have the slightest scruples.
As a foodie, no matter how much jealousy she has in her heart for Chu Nanzhi robbing her of her money, she will not let down the food, and tastes various novel dishes that she has never seen before with relish.
Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan saw her heartless attitude, and started eating too.
Now I finally understand what makes Concubine Yue Gui special. She can stand out among so many concubines not just because of her seductive appearance. This kindness is not a kind of skill.
The previous sashimi did not meet his taste, but the new ones were really delicious, full of color, fragrance, and taste. He couldn't help nodding and praising while eating: "Not bad, really good, I didn't expect the fish head to be so good. do so."
Then he ordered Sang Kun to add two more fish heads with chopped peppers.
Lin Jinqian looked at the hopeless looks of each one, held her mouth full of contempt, and tried to feed the shredded fish meat into her mouth. The delicate and unique taste was indeed irresistible. Thinking about Chu Nanzhi's opening today, After collecting thousands of taels of silver, she suddenly had a bold idea.
leaned close to Tang Ru, and discussed in a low voice: "Husband, do you think that if this princess also opens a restaurant in Luyan Port, will the business of this restaurant surnamed Chu be more prosperous?"
Tang Ru curled his lips helplessly: "The princess is not short of money, so why bother yourself so much."
She usually doesn't even know how to make tea at home, but she wants to open a restaurant, and she doesn't know what's going on in her mind.
It's not clear that this is a mere imitation.
After thinking about it, he tried to persuade him: "You have also seen Princess Pingning's restaurant before. The dishes you cook are not just to attract diners with a false name, but they are indeed business based on your real skills."
"I don't care, the princess will open the restaurant tomorrow."
Lin Jinqian ordered unrelentingly: "You are the princess' son-in-law, you have to listen to me in this house, you can go and buy all the shops opposite Yuanlai Restaurant later, and decorate it for the princess. This restaurant surnamed Chu is magnificent, and if we invite all the cooks and handymen from the Qi family, I want her to know who is the master of Luyan Port."
Tang Ru was so angry that his blood surged up.
Who is the owner of Luyan Port? Doesn't it need to be proved? Lin Jinxiao is the king of Pingning Prefecture and the governor of a prefecture.
Lin Jinqian didn't seem to notice that he was already angry, but smiled at him firmly: "As for these recipes, this princess has a way to be better than blue."
After saying that, she immediately turned her head to Tang Yuanxi, who was eating with relish, and the two whispered: "Sister princess, why does sister-in-law think you are very close to King Pingning?"
Tang Yuanxi blushed with embarrassment when she was questioned by her sister-in-law.
"Tell your sister-in-law honestly, have you fallen in love with King Pingning?"
Lin Jinqian had actually seen through her thoughts long ago.
A while ago, Tang Ru wrote a letter to his father-in-law Tang Yao about this matter, and Tang Yao was furious.
But the father-in-law didn't tell her about it, so she could only pretend to be ignorant to find out.
Tang Yuanxi knew that his father was worried that the Empress Dowager would be suspicious of this matter, so he didn't tell his sister-in-law. But now, only the sister-in-law and the Queen Mother can help him.
With a bitter face, she said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, I am not afraid that you and the queen mother are too careless. I will not marry the king of Pingning in this life."
"What's the matter, it's normal for a man to love a woman, my mother and I can understand it, I'll make the decision for you."
Lin Jinqian looked at her joyful expression, but suddenly changed the subject and said regretfully, "It's just that King Pingning already has a concubine and so many heirs. If you want to marry him, you may have to be wronged." The younger sister married in and became a side concubine."
"I am willing, sister-in-law, as long as I can be by his side, even if I am only a maid, I have no complaints."
Tang Yuanxi was so excited that she hurriedly replied.
"Okay, my princess agrees, and I will definitely make this matter happen for you. I will write to the queen mother when I get back today."
Lin Jinqian smiled sadly and said: "But you have to promise my sister-in-law one thing. You will get all kinds of recipes from Yuanlai Restaurant for your sister-in-law, and you must supervise all the movements of Wang Pingning and his wife."
"This"
These are not clearly two things.
Tang Yuanxi frowned helplessly, but now she only thought about being able to marry into Prince Pingning's mansion, how could she care so much, she readily agreed: "As long as it is something ordered by sister-in-law, Yuanxi will try her best to do it."
Lin Jinqian finally showed a relieved smile, looked at the crowd and nodded with a smile: "The food at Sister Wangfei's house is really good."
Concubine Yue Gui and the two princes didn't know what they were muttering about. It wouldn't be a good thing anyway, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it. They just ate wine and food on their own.
In the other courtyard to the west, Chang Lao and Nie Lao have returned from Jushengfang with their quadruplets and members of the Chu family.
Chu Nanzhi and Mrs. Zhou set out the dishes, ordered everyone to sit down according to their seats, and asked a few maids to pour wine for everyone.
Among the people present, Chang always has the highest status and the most right to speak. In front of everyone, he took the lead in raising his wine glass and said in awe: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and Nan Zhi girl has a heart. I like to join in the fun, and the people I invite are not outsiders."
Except for Li Ce and Peng Pai who were driven back, the rest of the people are not close relatives of their husband and wife, but also close friends who he likes.
Looking around at the crowd, he said earnestly: "Now that Pingning Prefecture has ushered in a new owner, it has completely changed its appearance. Let's respect your majesty and the empress dowager for the first glass of wine, and wish your majesty and empress dowager a long life. I pray that all parts of my Dahe Empire will have good weather and good weather, and the country will last forever."
After finishing speaking, he motioned for everyone to raise their glasses together and drink up.
Waiting to raise the second glass of wine, he stared at Zhao Guangyuan deeply, and said with a smile: "Brother Guangyuan, you and I have known each other for a long time, but we seldom have a drink and talk together. Today's grandpa's righteous deeds have made this old man deeply admired. I respect you with a glass of wine."
"Chang Lao is too famous, and Lao Shi is just a little bit of effort."
Zhao Guangyuan was terrified to receive such courteous treatment from Mr. Chang.
Although the two got married through their son Zhao Yan, he never mentioned this matter, and he didn't poke people's scars, which is even more grateful.
Hastily picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
On such a beautiful day, Chu Nanzhi shouldn't have spoiled everyone's interest, but she was worried about the old man's body, so she had to bite the bullet and forcefully interjected: "Today's festive season, the chrysanthemum wine prepared for the grandpa is a bit weak. You can drink a few more bottles in moderation, but you still have to stay tight."
It sounds like words of persuasion, but it is more about vigilance.
Nie Huai'an and Zhao Guangyuan have been close friends for many years. Knowing that his student has gone to see him several times during this period, he dare not persuade him to drink, so he took the student's words and echoed: "We are all old bones. Now, I know my destiny, even though it is a festive season, let's drink slowly and enjoy ourselves, and don't be greedy."
"Old Nie's words are very much in line with the wishes of this old man."
Zhao Guangyuan looked at Chu Nanzhi slightly, although he felt helpless, but his heart was full of warmth.
In all her life, she has never been controlled like this before, and she never thought that when she was old, she would be controlled tightly by a little girl.
