Everyone looked at the young Su Jinxiu and the old Wang Shuncai and immediately became interested.
There are so many restaurants in the capital, but no one has ever dared to challenge Zhenpin Pavilion face to face.
I just don’t know that Shopkeeper Su is a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers?
Or are you just pretending and overestimating your abilities?
However, following the post, they only have to wait until the 18th of next month to see the real chapter.
Su Jinxiu took the post and went straight back to Ruyi Restaurant without saying anything to Wang Shuncai.
Yang Jiaojiao came over after hearing the sound and saw Su Jinxiu slowly working in the kitchen.
Looking at it, he didn't look anxious at all.
"Oh, my little ancestor, when is it?
Do you still want to cook here? I have asked my father to help you search for good cooks.
During this time, you should practice hard.
If you really lose to Wang Shuncai in the competition, your Ruyi Restaurant will definitely not be able to open in the capital."
Su Jinxiu tasted the saltiness of the soup and poured a bowl for Yang Jiaojiao.
"Isn't it the first test next month on the 18th? It's just the first one, so don't worry so much.
Sister Jiaojiao doesn’t believe me that much? Do you think I can’t even pass the first test?
Try this soup, it tastes good."
Yang Jiaojiao had no appetite at first, but the scent went straight to her nose.
Her greed was aroused, so she took the soup and took a sip.
The soup is rich and delicious.
"It's delicious! What kind of soup is this?"
"Ham and winter bamboo shoots soup, I will prepare this soup when the time comes."
Yang Jiaojiao held the bowl and drank sip after sip.
“It tastes really good, but is it too sloppy?
I saw that the dishes served in other restaurants in previous years were either delicacies from the mountains and seas, or ginseng, wings, and abalone tripe.
Let’s not talk about the taste, at least it’s better in terms of ingredients.”
Su Jinxiu smiled, put the remaining soup in an earthen pot, and simmered it over low heat.
"Everyone uses precious ingredients. If I use these better-tasting ingredients, wouldn't it better reflect my cooking skills?
Don’t worry, I won’t be defeated that easily…”
I don't know if she was convinced by the bowl of soup, but Yang Jiaojiao also forgot what she wanted to say before.
After finishing the soup, seeing that it was getting late, he invited Su Jinxiu to go home with him.
"Jinxiu, I'll give you a ride."
Su Jinxiu shook her head and motioned for her to go first.
"I still have something to do. Sister Jiaojiao will go back first."
By the time the accounts were settled, it was already dark.
Su Jinxiu put away the account book, put the soup in a food box and went to the palace.
When I got to the door, before I even knocked on the door, the door opened.
Canyue stood in the door and bowed slightly to Su Jinxiu.
"Miss Su is here? Your Majesty is waiting for you in the study!"
Su Jinxiu paused with her extended hand, a little curious.
"Does your prince know that I'm coming?"
She originally wanted them to bring the soup in, but she felt a little embarrassed when Can Yue said that Xiao Jingze was waiting for her.
Cangyue was stunned for a moment and quickly moved out of the way.
"I just saw Miss Su coming here at the street corner, so I told the prince.
Therefore, the prince knows.
Miss Su, please!"
Su Jinxiu nodded and entered the palace.
She had lived in Wangfu for a while and was familiar with it.
I found the study without using the waning moon to lead the way.
She picked up the food box and knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, my late night visit has caused you trouble."
The door was opened and Xiao Jingze stood at the door.
"Come in!"
Su Jinxiu placed the food box on the desk and bowed.
"Your Majesty has helped me a lot, and there is nothing else I can do for him.
Thinking that the prince might like this soup, he made some and sent it over.
Your Majesty, please drink first, I will leave first..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Cai slowly walked forward and rubbed around Xiao Jingze's trouser leg.
Looking at Su Jinxiu, she meowed.
I mean, why did you come here? I miss you so much.
Su Jinxiu couldn't help but be startled. Xiao Jingze stepped forward to take the food box, filled two bowls of soup, and handed one bowl to Su Jinxiu.
"Sit down for a while! It misses you too."
Su Jinxiu picked up Zhaocai and touched its head.
Looking at Xiao Jingze, he asked tentatively.
“Your Majesty, can you bring some wealth back home for me?
If you stay here with the prince, you will cause trouble to the prince."
Then, she scratched Zhaocai's chin and asked.
"Do you want to go back with me?"
Zhaocai narrowed his eyes in comfort and meowed twice.
Xiao Jingze frowned slightly and took a sip of soup.
"I think it would rather stay in the palace.
You go out early and come back late every day, and there is no one around to take care of it.
It would be better to stay in the palace."
If even this cat leaves, won't Ah Jin never come back in the future?
Xiao Jingze saw that Su Jinxiu was only standing and motioned for her to sit down.
"I can't finish the soup. Sit down and drink some together."
However, Zhaocai clearly said that he was willing to go with her!
Su Jinxiu opened her mouth, but she didn't have the nerve to force it.
I could only reluctantly hug Lucky and sit aside and drink the soup.
After finishing a bowl of soup, Xiao Jingze wiped his mouth slowly.
Looking at Su Jinxiu, he asked.
"I heard that you accepted Zhenpin Pavilion's post? If you need ingredients, you can tell the residual image."
Hearing what Xiao Jingze said, Su Jinxiu couldn't help but glance at him.
"Your Majesty, do you think I can win?"
Xiao Jingze raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that the cat nestled in Su Jinxiu's arms was particularly annoying.
He reached out to pick it up and threw it aside.
"Will you still lose?"
Su Jinxiu felt her arms empty and smiled.
"Of course not. I just feel that the prince believes in me more than I do myself."
Dissatisfied with the fortune, he meowed twice and turned away.
Su Jinxiu also stood up and prepared to leave.
When she came to the door, she suddenly thought of something and stood still.
"By the way, that day we shed blood to recognize our relatives at the Ministry of Punishment.
Did the prince know that I was not a child of the Su family, so he stopped me from bleeding?
And let Naofumi shed his blood to recognize his kin?"
"Um!"
I thought Xiao Jingze might hide it, but I didn't expect him to admit it very simply.
"Do you want to know your identity?"
Su Jinxiu didn't turn around, took a deep breath and shook her head.
"I don't want to think about it for the time being, I think it's pretty good now.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me hide it."
After saying that, she strode out of the study door.
It was just a vague guess at first, but now it has been confirmed.
She didn't know what she felt in her heart.
At that time, in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Xiao Jingze blocked him with words.
She didn't worry about it, but when the blood dripped on the bones but didn't melt, she began to have doubts when she thought about it again.
If she is not a girl from the Hou family, she is not a girl from the Su family either.
Then who is she?
When I walked to the gate, I suddenly heard Xiao Jingze's voice behind me.
"I'll take you back."
Su Jinxiu was startled when she realized that Xiao Jingze had followed her all the way, but she had never noticed it.
The two got on the carriage, and Su Jinxiu leaned against the wall of the carriage and remained silent.
"I have no intention of concealing your identity, if you have any doubts in the future.
You can ask me, I will never hide anything from you."
The lights in the carriage were dim, and Xiao Jingze's expression was particularly serious.
Su Jinxiu was stunned for no reason.
The current Xiao Jingze is really a bit as gentle as Ah Jiu back then...
