Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

After all, it is the fat meat in the mouth. It doesn’t feel greasy on the palate, but the oil in the soup can’t fool people. At this time, take a sip of black date and hawthorn porridge. The sour taste is heavy, and the fine product is slightly sweet. , Hawthorn can also appetize, so you can continue to maintain the unbeaten taste.

The cabbage, sweet potato and lotus root slices soaked in the broth are soft, noodle, and crispy, and the surface is covered with thick soup, which is also full of flavor.

Everyone ate happily.

When the meal was almost over, Duan Silian's attendant came over with leftovers and bowls and chopsticks.

Chun came out and put down his chopsticks, greeted them immediately, and after seeing them off, he returned to his seat and continued to eat without looking at them carefully.

Zhao Hanyan finished eating at this moment, put down his chopsticks, thought about the dishes to be prepared tomorrow, and then informed Xiuzhu, Chunlai and others.

Bai Yutang followed suit and put down his chopsticks.

Zhao Hanyan was soaking dried hawthorn slices in water and added a white chrysanthemum, when he saw Bai Yutang coming, he asked him if he wanted it.Bai Yutang nodded, and then asked Zhao Hanyan if he was particular about it.

"It's nothing special, it relieves tiredness and fire. But the soaked water is a bit sour and bitter, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink it."

"Bitter vegetable juice is fine, what's the matter?"

Bai Yutang didn't care, he ordered a bowl, and sure enough, his face didn't change from drinking it.

Zhao Hanyan: "What do you think of Sanchunxue shopkeeper?"

Immediately, Bai Yutang's mind came to the shopkeeper Xue's handsome face. He knew that Zhao Hanyan asked for another reason, so he answered her seriously.

"Drinking, smart, smooth, and a businessman."

Bai Yutang then asked Zhao Hanyan why he asked this question.

Zhao Hanyan: "The steamed pork in Sanchunlou was recommended to me by He Yun. If he is Ou Sanchun, but he mentioned Sanchunlou again, do you think this is a hint?"

"But he didn't know that you were a policeman from Kaifeng Mansion at the time, and he just regarded you as an ordinary diner." Bai Yutang felt that this didn't make sense.

Zhao Hanyan nodded, "I've thought about this too, so I'm not sure, so I want to ask you."

"Then we'll find out if Shopkeeper Xue has any questions, why don't I ask tonight?" Bai Yutang's so-called 'ask' is to use all means to 'extract a confession'.

"But don't be like this, don't forget that you are already a policeman in Kaifeng Mansion, and you must follow the rules."

"With my face covered, he knows who I am." Bai Yutang said indifferently.

"If he's guilty, you won't be wronged no matter how much you interrogate him, but now this is just my temporary suspicion, so don't hurt him."

"What if I scare you?" Bai Yutang asked again.

Zhao Hanyan refused, not wanting Bai Yutang to mess around, and forced Bai Yutang to make a guarantee.

These heroes of the rivers and lakes speak the most trustworthy words, so this trick is easy to use.

"Okay, I promise you." Bai Yutang said helplessly.

"I'll let Zhang Ling take people to monitor first, and if there is evidence, I'll consider your decision." Zhao Hanyan took a sip of hawthorn water, tapped his fingers on the table, and then looked at Bai Yutang, "I really don't know this Ou Sichun How soon will it appear."

"Soon, it won't be long." Bai Yutang's mouth was poisonous.

The three cases challenged human nature one after another, and it can be said that each case is more terrifying than the other.

"What are you afraid of? Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, and I can be the general." Bai Yutang's eyes were sullen, but the corners of his lips curled up, "I want to see which ghost is acting as a demon!"

Bai Yutang usually has a solemn face, which is already the best, but now he suddenly smiles, like a feather fluttering, making people tremble for no reason.

This person's beauty is indeed amazing, every frown and smile is ten times more attractive than ordinary people.

Zhao Hanyan reminded himself that beauty is misleading, so don't look at it too much.What's more, the beauty in front of her eyes is a mandala flower exuding a poisonous fragrance, which ordinary people can't afford.

Bai Yutang thought that after he said these words, Zhao Hanyan would at least agree.But after waiting for a while, she found that she was in a daze, not paying attention to what he was talking about.

If it was Jiang Ping, he would have already kicked it up.But Zhao Hanyan... Bai Yutang took advantage of the situation to look at Zhao Hanyan, and found that he really didn't have the urge to kick her at all, why?Could it be because Jiang Ping is too ugly?

The more Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan, the more he began to doubt himself, turned around with a dark face, and only said goodbye to Zhao Hanyan when his back was turned to Zhao Hanyan.

"Then you go to rest early." Zhao Hanyan put down the water bowl in his hand, and suddenly heard Chunlai and Chunqu talking on the other side of the plane tree.She walked over with a smile, and saw that the plates on the table and the meat in the basin were all eaten clean, and she felt better.

Xiuzhu didn't dare to come because of Bai Yutang's presence just now, but now she hurried to Zhao Hanyan, and joked that Chunlai and Chunqu's stomachs are rice buckets, and they actually ate up so much meat.

Chunlai and Chunqu quickly corrected and showed their innocence. No wonder Zhao Hanyan made too delicious rice, which caused them to eat too much.

"Eating too much, it's still uncomfortable!" Chun went to pat his belly, pretending to be good when he got a bargain.

Zhao Hanyan: "Okay, next time to satisfy your ideas, don't do it, let you eat less or even not eat."

"Don't, don't, we were wrong!" Chunlai and Chunqu hurriedly bowed and apologized to Zhao Hanyan. They almost broke their waists for one bite.

"Okay, hurry up and wash the dishes, clean up the kitchen, and we'll rest when we're done."

Chun Lai Chun went to promise, rolling up their sleeves and going to work, the two of them noticed that there was a lot of food left over from the food that those people sent back just now.

"This little prince eats like a bird, what a waste."

"It's okay, just cook less next time." Zhao Hanyan looked at the leftovers, his eyes became lighter.

Zhao Hanyan had already seen that these dishes hadn't been touched, and Duan Silian didn't eat her cooking at all.

Chunlai and Chunqu went to work obediently, and the sound of cleaning dishes and chopsticks was heard in the kitchen.

Han Yan took off the apron on her body, pinched her neck with her hands, shook her head again, and sent Xiuzhu to boil water for her, she wanted to take a hot bath to relieve her fatigue.

At this time, a person came from the other side of the road, dressed in a thick Dali style, one could tell that they were Duan Silian's subordinates.Taking a closer look, Zhao Hanyan remembered that this person was the deputy envoy of the Dali Mission who came with Duan Silian, and his name was Jiang Wangji.

"Cook Zhao, my lord would like to invite you to come!" Jiang Wangji cupped his hands and said to Zhao Hanyan.

Seeing Jiang Wangji's solemn face, Zhao Hanyan knew that something was wrong, so he went straight away without asking any further questions.

After Duan Silian waited for Zhao Hanyan to see the ceremony, he smiled and invited Zhao Hanyan to sit down and serve tea.

Jiang Wangji said to Duan Silian at this time: "My lord hasn't eaten tonight, I don't know what to eat, my subordinates will go to Zhuangyuan building to buy some."

"Oh, I said earlier that I like to eat some special dishes. By the way, I heard that there is a good steamed pork." Duan Silian thought for a moment, and then continued, "Look at my brain, why can't I remember. Brother Zhao is arresting again. Kuai is a cook again, and a native of the capital, so he must know about it, right?"

Before Zhao Hanyan could answer, Jiang Wangji continued.

"Chef Zhao must know. Just now, my subordinates heard that he was learning how to make Sanchunlou's steamed pork in the kitchen! The people in the kitchen are eating well. The dishes in that pot have been eaten to the bottom, and even the scum is gone. There aren't any left."

After Zhao Hanyan heard these words, she still didn't say a word. She probably understood in her heart why Duan Silian called her here.As long as you know the purpose of the other party, it will be easy to handle, and it is very easy to think of a countermeasure.

Sure enough, as Zhao Hanyan expected, Jiang Wangji said next: "You give our prince these clear soup and vegetarian dishes, casually, but my own people made a big pot of delicious meat, but they didn't even give up a piece of it. Our lord. Is this how your Kaifeng mansion treats guests? Is this how you treat our lord according to Master Bao's order?"

"Yes, this is how our Kaifeng mansion treats guests." Zhao Hanyan replied.

A sonorous reply made Jiang Wangji's face turn blue instantly.

"You, you... are bold! How dare you even say such a thing!"

"Vice Envoy Jiang Miao Zan, I'm a bit bold." Zhao Hanyan looked back sharply at Jiang Wangji, and in a blink of an eye turned to Duan Silian frankly.

On the contrary, Duan Silian felt a little guilty and avoided Zhao Hanyan's gaze.

Before Zhao Hanyan disrespected him, Duan Silian wrote down the grudge, and had planned to wait for an opportunity to retaliate back, so he seized today's opportunity.

Duan Silian originally wanted to watch how despondent the cook was, but he didn't expect to see his own family's despondency instead.

"Do you know what you are talking about? You are a mere little cook, and you actually said such arrogant words. It's wrong! It's wrong! I have to tell Judge Shi and report to the Song court, and I will kill you!" Jiang Jiang Wang Ji said bitterly, a cook is so insolent, he wants to die!

Zhao Hanyan couldn't be more calm and replied: "Vice Ambassador Jiang can report it. I behave well and sit upright. Naturally, I am not afraid of what others will say about me. First, the meals I prepared for the little prince are prepared and served first. First, follow the little prince; secondly, Vice Envoy Jiang also said just now that I am learning how to make steamed pork. The first time I tried it, my technique was unstable. How can I just hand over the dishes to the noble young prince of Dali to taste? Seriously, that is the worst way to treat guests, and the greatest contempt for the little prince and Dali Kingdom."

"You...you..." Jiang Wangji never thought that Zhao Hanyan would argue like this, a mere cook, a mere catcher, could be so articulate, turning black and white.

Duan Silian was also very surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Hanyan to have such eloquence.He frowned and took a disgusted look at Jiang Wangji, feeling that he was not up to the mark and was far inferior to Zhao Hanyan.

"It's the first time you cook it, and after you taste the delicious food, you should give it to our lord, instead of eating it all for yourself." Jiang Wangji hastily criticized again.

"Who said it's delicious? It's not delicious!" Zhao Hanyan ate up the pot of meat without leaving any, and the other party couldn't find evidence, so he said this with confidence.

"You! My subordinates just heard that Chun Lai from the kitchen told someone that the meat was delicious, so they ate up all the meat in the pot, and there was not even a scum left. How could it not be delicious!"

"It just doesn't taste good. Why is Vice Envoy Jiang still arguing with me about this? I'm a cook, so don't I know if the food I cook is good or not? It's true that the people in the kitchen eat very well, but you also Pay attention to their identities, they are just ordinary people, not nobles, let alone princes of Dali.

If they can eat a meal of meat in ten days, they will be very happy.No matter how greasy my dish is, if it is meat, they must be happy to eat it, let alone one pot, even if you prepare three pots of meat for him, they will eat it up. "

After Zhao Hanyan finished speaking, seeing Jiang Wangji still wanted to talk about it, he didn't give him a chance, so he continued directly: "I guess, Deputy Jiang is going to say 'they say that the food I make is better than Sanchunlou'? This is just a compliment It’s just like two people meeting to greet each other, how can they take it seriously. They ate the dishes I cooked, so they were naturally embarrassed to say that I didn’t cook well, otherwise there would be no food for them to eat in the future.”

"..."

At this moment, Jiang Wangji was completely speechless by Zhao Hanyan's "eloquence".

Duan Silian was watching, very angry, but he had nothing to refute Zhao Hanyan.

"Young Lord Duan must be aware of the reason why he lives in Kaifeng mansion instead of the royal courtyard prepared by the Ministry of Rites. In fact, everyone and He Lele are the best. If something really happens, report it to the police. Damage to the Kaifeng Mansion is not beneficial to anyone.

What happened to the little prince back then made the Minister of Rites very afraid, but after all, the prince was young at that time, so it was not a big deal to use it as an excuse.

But if something happens again at this time, and the previous events are revealed, I am really worried that this will be detrimental to the little prince. "

After Zhao Hanyan finished speaking, he saluted Duan Silian lightly, and added an apology, saying that he might have made a lie, so that Duan Silian didn't have to take it seriously.

Duan Silian was angry, extremely angry, so angry that he couldn't help it, so that finally he became so angry that he suddenly became clear and realized that Zhao Hanyan's situation was not simple.

A cook who also serves as a policeman, and can read and write... He should have realized that this is not something that ordinary people can do. How can Mr. Bao's insight be wrong!

Duan Silian realizes that he has discovered another talent, but the deadlock is somewhat irreversible.

He immediately scolded Jiang Wangji, blamed him for instigating nonsense, and scolded him to apologize to Zhao Hanyan.Then he smiled and apologized to Zhao Hanyan, asking her not to mind, and gave Zhao Hanyan a gift of apology.

Zhao Hanyan accepted all the orders, and then bid farewell to Duan Silian neither humble nor overbearing.

After Duan Silian waited for Zhao Hanyan to receive the gift, he didn't feel the change in Zhao Hanyan's attitude. He felt that he had offended others, and added two valuable things in vain, which made him even more angry.

Zhao Hanyan took two gemstone rings back and handed them to Xiuzhu when she took a bath, so that she could be them when she had time.

"That's a lot of money. I think these two rings are worth thousands of taels of silver." Xiuzhu sighed happily, and then asked if all the money was reserved for the small kitchen.

"The small kitchen doesn't need all this money. Chenzhou's life is not easy now, so he donated the money." Zhao Hanyan said.

Xiuzhu hurriedly agreed.

On the second day, Xiuzhu got up early to work.

Before going to bed last night, Xiuzhu boiled water for the princess to take a bath, and there was no water in the tank, so the first thing she did when she went to the kitchen was to fetch water.As a result, Xiuzhu found that the water tank was full.Then she heard the sound of chopping firewood from behind, Xiuzhu thought it was Li San who had come back, two days ago Li San had a cold, and had been on leave for a few days, but she has not seen her, so whenever she is free in the morning these days, she will help chop some firewood .

"Brother Li, are you finally cured?" Xiuzhu shouted while pushing back the window, but when she saw the man chopping firewood in the back kitchen, she petrified on the spot.

White... Jade... Tang?

Read that right?

Bai Yutang turned his head at this moment and looked at Xiuzhu.

Xiuzhu nodded awkwardly at him.

Bai Yutang immediately dropped the ax in his hand, dusted off the dust on his body, and left quickly.

Xiuzhu paused for a while, if she hadn't seen the pile of firewood that had just been chopped, she would have thought she had made a mistake.Xiuzhu couldn't understand what Bai Yutang was up to, so she turned her head and thought about continuing to do her own thing.

Now that the water and firewood are ready, she washes the rice, but when she goes to get the basin, she finds that the rice has been washed.Then go to wash the dishes that the princess ordered to prepare last night, only to find that the dishes are also washed.

Bai Yutang seemed to have done everything she had to do this morning.

Xiuzhu pinched herself, she might not have woken up, she was still dreaming!

Aww - it hurts!

dang dang dang...

There was a hasty knock on the back door, but the boy didn't open the door for a long time, probably still asleep.

Xiuzhu thought about letting the janitor sleep a little longer, and hurried to open the door by herself.

As soon as the door opened, a pink and tender baby came into view, with a slightly wet mouth, spitting.

The woman holding the baby was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was beautiful, with particularly clear eyes.

When she saw Xiuzhu, she laughed heartily and asked her, "Excuse me, does Bai Yutang live here?"

Xiuzhu nodded, "Excuse me, are you..."

"I am his wife, and this is his child!" The woman replied bluntly, and then asked Xiuzhu with a pair of big clever eyes, "Then can I come in?"

"Ah... please come in!"
