Su Liluo followed Jiang Hu back to the east courtyard. He arranged for her and Lu Zhu to wait in the rest room of the kitchen, while he went back to the back room to change clothes.

After a while, Jiang Hu came back. His clothes stained with mud had been replaced by a clean gown. Even his hair was wrapped in a beige turban. He really looked like a chef.

"Miss Fenmei, Miss Green Bamboo have been waiting for a long time. I will make lunch for the princess right now. I would like to ask you two girls if there is anything in particular that the princess wants to eat."

Jiang Hu asked innocently towards Su Liluo and the other two.

Su Liluo rolled her eyes and said with a sweet smile: "The princess didn't say anything special. Uncle Jiang, just prepare according to the normal recipes in our house. But, Uncle Jiang, can we go in and learn your cooking skills?"

Jiang Hu blushed at what she said and hurriedly refuted: "Miss Fenmei is joking. The food I cook tastes bad. I know it. When it comes to learning, it is me and the two girls who are learning. However, if If Miss Fenmei wants to see it, Old Jiang will welcome her."

"Okay! Then I won't be polite!"

In her heart, Su Liluo wanted to believe that the honest and honest man in front of her was not someone who would secretly cause trouble and deliberately collude with other people in the kitchen to make such terrible snacks for her.

At the same time, she warned herself that people should not be judged by their appearance. After all, their master, the prince, was a living example.

She sincerely discussed cooperation with others, but was tricked by others and was fooled.

Su Liluo still wanted to witness with her own eyes the whole process of Master Jiang's cooking.

She wanted to verify in person whether he was working very hard to prepare meals, but the food he made was really unpalatable, or was he deliberately making it so unpalatable.

Clean cutting boards, tidy cabinets, and orderly arrangement of kitchen utensils.

Su Liluo really didn't expect that Jiang Hu, a tall and thick-looking man, could clean up such a large kitchen so neatly.

Walking around the kitchen, looking here and there, Su Liluo discovered that the large kitchen of Prince Rui's Mansion contained ingredients that only ordinary people could prepare.

For example, there are not even a hair on those expensive and luxurious ingredients such as bird's nests and seafood in other noble houses!

Turning around, Su Liluo saw that Jiang Hu had quickly prepared a small bowl of noodles and was about to pick up a kitchen knife to cut the pickled vegetables.

Su Liluo looked up at the empty kitchen and asked curiously: "Uncle Jiang, are you the only one responsible for the kitchen work in our yard?"

Jiang Hu smiled: "Well, we don't have many people in the palace, and everyone is busy with their own things. Aqiang is responsible for the trivial matters in the courtyard. When passing the meal, he and Aunt Qian will come to help. As for other things in the kitchen, I can do it by myself, so I don’t have to bother others."

"..."

Su Liluo was stunned for a moment, and then an awkward yet polite smile appeared on her lips.

This Prince Rui's Mansion is really frugal from top to bottom!

She had secretly observed Long Yunxuan's Chu Xuan Pavilion when she went there before. Apart from the basic soft tables and chairs, and the desk and chessboard, there seemed to be nothing of value.

As for the guards who often follow that guy, except for Li Fei and Chang Luo, they are also the cold and handsome guy who squats in the leaves of the tree all day long.

Tsk tsk tsk, Su Liluo thought to herself, no wonder, she walked around the palace yesterday and didn't meet a few maids or servants.

At that time, she thought they were all busy. Now it seems that busy is indeed busy, but in the final analysis, there are only a handful of people in the mansion!

Otherwise, there would be only one master chef in the kitchen to provide meals for the whole family, and he would be exhausted long ago.

"Hey..." Su Liluo sighed sadly. It seemed that she had really accepted a loss-making deal this time.

Then, Su Liluo stood quietly and watched Jiang Hu cut the stuffing of dried shepherd's purse, knead the cooked dough, and wrap each one into a dozen palm-sized buns.

Boil water, put the steamer on the basket, start the steam, put the buns on, cover the lid...

He was very attentive to all the steps. Even when mixing the stuffing, he repeatedly confirmed with her twice whether the princess's taste was light or heavy.

Later, he prepared a small portion of fresh vegetable egg custard with minced meat and dried shrimps.

Su Liluo saw it clearly. When he took out the handful of fresh vegetables from the cabinet, Jiang Hu's eyes were full of solemnity and caution.

How precious he is to those few fresh vegetables.

Looking at the meal he had carefully prepared, Jiang Hu straightened his back, raised his hand to scratch behind his ears, looked at Su Liluo sheepishly, and said, "Miss Fenmei, the lunch prepared for the Princess is ready. My cooking skills are limited, if the princess is still not satisfied, let me know, and I will go out and buy some Yipinlou food for the princess."

Seeing him like that, Su Liluo felt a twinge of guilt in her heart.

It turned out that everyone was so serious about preparing every meal for her, and she had previously misunderstood whether someone was deliberately teasing her.

The suspicion in her heart was completely eliminated, and Su Liluo no longer misunderstood that the people in the kitchen were deliberately teasing her.

She happily asked Lu Zhu and Jiang Hu to thank them, and then asked Lu Zhu to leave the courtyard of the big kitchen with the lunch.

On the way back to Furong Pavilion, Lu Zhu told Su Liluo what she heard from the boy Aqiang about how Jiang Hu entered the palace as a chef.

Aqiang also said that although Long Yunxuan is a prince, he has never been picky about food, as long as he can eat it and fill his stomach.

It is said that he was a young coach, commanding the three armies, very majestic, but never special.

Every time he went on an expedition with the army, he ate the same meals as the soldiers.

After Su Liluo heard what Lu Zhu said, she suddenly felt some admiration for Long Yunxuan, and a little sympathy...

Prince Rui of Dongling Kingdom, who sympathized with him, was so poor, with so little silver left in such a big warehouse, not even a piece of gold!

As a result, she had to carry such a big burden when she first arrived.

Su Liluo did a rough calculation in her mind. Although there were not many servants in the palace and the ingredients used every day were not too expensive, after all, there were many other necessary expenses, which were wasted money every day when she opened her eyes. It’s consuming!

When she thought about it, she was in a difficult situation now because of the handsome and kind-hearted prince that Aqiang said. Su Liluo couldn't help but complain:

"Hmph! Long Yunxuan, a poor and sinister guy, can speak up if he has any difficulties! But he is plotting against me with evil intentions. He does not deserve sympathy!"

"Miss, are you still angry with the prince?"

Being angry is a given, but what's the use of just being angry! ?
