Chapter 82
"Master Si!" Chu Qi hurriedly broke into the Mingxuan Pavilion where Si Nanping was staying. As soon as he entered the door, he started shouting Si Nanping's name, "Master Si! Si Nanping!!!"
The servants and maids who were waiting at Mingxuan Pavilion ran out quickly. When they saw Chuo Qi, they knew that the prince must have something to do with the young master: "Master Chuo Qi, Mr. Si is making soup in the small kitchen. Please wait for a while, and we will go
Call him."
"If the palace's kitchen doesn't make soup for Ming Xuanxie, why should Si Nanping cook it himself?" Chu Qi felt strange. Although each courtyard has a small kitchen, the food and drink in the palace are usually cooked by the head chef.
Yes, usually who would use the small kitchen when there is nothing to do, "No, I will go find him myself. You can go and do whatever you need to do."
"Hey! Mr. Chuqi, please be careful, the kitchen may be a bit dangerous." A kind-hearted maid warned.
"Is there any danger..." Chu Qi muttered. Although he felt strange, he had something important to see Si Nanping, so he had to hurry up and rush there.
"Just go and see for yourself." Seeing that he didn't listen to his advice, the maid added.
After hearing this, Chuo Qi ignored him and hurried to the small kitchen in the backyard of Mingxuanxie.
As soon as we entered the backyard, we saw plumes of thick smoke coming from the small kitchen, which made people cough.
"Ahem! Ahem! Si Nanping!" Dao Qi waved the smoke in front of his eyes, covering his mouth and nose while shouting Si Nanping's name, "Where are you! Come out quickly!"
Si Nanping heard Chu Qi's cry and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen. He was seen covering his mouth and nose with a wet towel, his face covered in black charcoal, his sleeves rolled up, and his long straight dragon crepe hem rolled up by him.
He was tied up at the crotch to make it easier to walk and stand. His moon-blue clothes were blackened by the smoke. He covered his mouth and nose with a towel in one hand and an unknown book in the other.
His desolate appearance completely overturned the image of a handsome young man who was like a jade young master in the world.
When Chuo Qi saw him like this, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in surprise. He should have known that Si Nanping, a famous scholar, was very pretentious and even more squeamish than a lady in his boudoir, despite his usually gentle and jade-like appearance.
, in fact, he is very squeamish secretly, keeping his fingers clear of Yang Chun Shui, and only reads the books of sages. Who would have thought that such a person would actually cook by himself.
As soon as Si Nanping ran out and saw Chu Qi, he quickly pulled him to a place where the smoke was not very thick. He took a few deep breaths and then asked: "Why are you here? Why don't you go and wait on the prince when he comes back?"
, why did you suddenly think of me?"
"You...what are you doing to make this happen?" When Chuo Qi saw him like this, he put his purpose behind his mind and satisfied his curiosity first. How could Si Nanping cook in person?
, tell people all over the world to tell jokes.
Si Nanping felt uncomfortable being looked at by Chu Qi. He casually put the scroll in Chu Qi's hand and asked him to hold it for him. While wiping the dirt on his face, he said: "Isn't this the prince coming back today? I promised you yesterday.
That girl Liang Huanqing taught her how to make Tremella fungus and lotus seed soup for the prince to drink. She wasted all her efforts. Who knew she was sick today? I made a white fungus and lotus seed soup and gave it to the prince in Liang Huanqing's name to appease the girl.
It saves her from always worrying that she hasn’t done anything well and the prince won’t like it.”
Si Nanping was very casual in private, and knew in his heart that Liang Huanqing didn't care about this title. Before the Lantern Festival, when they followed Liang Huanqing, they also called him this casually, so they had gotten used to it.
Chu Qi took the "Food Sutra" in his hand and flipped through two pages at random. Then he looked back at the small kitchen where thick smoke was coming out, and asked in surprise: "Do you want to kill the prince or the princess?"
"What do you mean?" Si Nanping rolled his eyes at Zhuo Qi, "I think it's pretty good. It's just that the small stove didn't know how to exhaust the smoke, which made the smoke big. In fact, it's pretty good. Come in and take a look.
.”
Chu Qi shook his head and waved his hands, his whole body rejecting: "No, no, no... I don't want it."
"Are you coming or not?" Seeing Chu Qi's refusal, Si Nanping even wanted to drag him to see him. "I don't care if you come and see. You grew up serving the prince. Come and try this soup."
Is it the same as what the prince drank when he was a child? I followed the "Food Sutra" step by step to make it. There must be nothing wrong. I heard that Mei Fei made it according to the "Food Sutra" and used the freshest ingredients.
, come and see for me!”
Si Nanping was cooking for the first time and desperately wanted to be recognized by others, so he forced Chu Qi into the small kitchen.
"Oh my god, help me." Chu Qi couldn't resist Si Nanping's tough words, so he followed him into the kitchen and said, "Young Master Si! You, the best young master in the world, please spare me!"
As soon as he entered the small kitchen, Chu Qi saw at a glance that the chimney had not been opened, which caused the thick smoke to disperse into the house. He quickly opened the chimney with quick eyesight and quick hands, and the thick smoke slowly floated out from the chimney, and then almost
Dissipated.
"Zhuo Qi, how did you do this? It's so awesome!" Si Nanping was usually very arrogant, but at this moment, he was like a noob watching Chuo Qi doing these things smoothly.
"You have never used Mingxuanxie's small kitchen, so the chimney is naturally closed." Dao Qi rolled his eyes at him, expressing his disgust in his heart, "If you accidentally burn it, it will cause a big disaster. If you
If you don’t know, let Along Ashao come over and have a look.”
"I am the most dignified young master in the world. If you don't know what others are looking at, don't let others laugh at you." Si Nanping ignored him and walked straight over to open the Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup on the stove.
"Hey!" Chu Qi knocked his hand away, "What do you want to do? Don't you know it's hot?"
Then Chu Qi skillfully picked up the wet rag next to him and opened the lid of the Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup. A burst of fragrance wafted out. Chu Qi took a closer sniff and said, "It's quite fragrant."
Si Nanping smiled, turned around and got a spoon and a porcelain bowl: "Try it."
Chu Qi took it over, filled a small bowl, tasted it carefully, and frowned slightly: "Tsk, the taste is a bit worse, the smell is there, and the taste is not as sweet as the one made by Concubine Mei."
He looked at Si Nanping's expectant look, pondered for a moment and said, "But it's already good that you can cook like this for the first time. But there's no need to let the prince taste it. The prince is not in the mood to drink soup right now.
"
"Oh, by the way, why did you suddenly come to Mingxuanxie to look for me? Didn't the prince just come back? Why don't you go to serve him?" Speaking of the prince, Si Nanping then thought of asking Zhao Qi the reason for his visit.
Chu Qi quickly put down the bowl and spoon, and pulled Si Nanping to go to Qi Jingqin's study: "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot! The prince wants to see you!"
Si Nanping also stopped thinking about the joke just now and quickly followed him out while asking: "What's wrong?"
"You should have known about the battle between the prince and General Liang for military power a few days ago," Chu Qi said.
