Sang Kun ordered all the dishes that Princess Qian disliked to be served, including fresh pepper SF turbot, chopped pepper fish head, spicy shredded chicken, and toothpick mutton.
Looking at the weird dishes one after another, even the presentation was very different from the royal banquet in the palace, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
But having tasted the sweetness of Da Maha, Concubine Yue took the lead in picking up the dishes without any scruples and tasted each dish on the table one by one.
The spicy and delicious fish head with chopped pepper had a more exciting taste than the fish cooked in the palace, but it was less fishy. It was so refreshing that she couldn't stop eating it.
Looking at the angry expressions on everyone's face, she didn't have the slightest scruple.
As a foodie, no matter how much she resented Chu Nanzhi for stealing her money, she would not let down the delicious food and tasted various novel dishes that she had never seen before with relish.
Seeing her heartless attitude, Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan also started eating.
Now I finally understand what makes Concubine Yue so special. She can stand out among so many concubines not only because of her charming appearance, but also because of her broad-mindedness.
The previous sashimi didn't suit his taste, but these new dishes were so delicious, full of color, flavor and flavor. While eating, he couldn't help but nod and praise: "Not bad, really good. I didn't expect the fish heads to be delicious."
Do this."
Then he ordered Sang Kun to add two more fish heads with chopped pepper.
Lin Jinqian looked at the unpromising looks of each of them, and pursed his lips with disdain. He also tried to pick up a piece of fish meat and put it into his mouth. The delicate and unique taste was indeed irresistible. Thinking about Chu Nanzhi opening today, he
After collecting thousands of taels of silver, she suddenly had a bold idea.
He came closer to Tang Ru and discussed in a low voice: "Husband, do you think if this princess also opens a restaurant in Luyan Port, the business will be more prosperous than that of the restaurant named Chu?"
Tang Ru curled his lips helplessly: "Princess has a rich body, and she is also rich in silver. Why bother yourself like this?"
She doesn't even know how to make tea at home, but she wants to open a restaurant. She doesn't know what's going on in her mind.
I don't know if this is just an imitation of Dongshi.
After thinking for a while, he persuaded earnestly: "You have also seen Princess Pingning's restaurant. These dishes are not just to attract diners on the basis of false reputations. They are indeed business gained through real skills."
"I don't care, this princess will open the restaurant tomorrow."
Lin Jinqian ordered resolutely: "You are my princess's consort, and you have to obey me in this house. You will buy all the shops opposite Yuanlai Restaurant later, and decorate them well for my princess. They must be better than
This restaurant named Chu is so grand, and if we invite all the former cooks and servants 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.
Does it still need to be proven who is the owner of Luyan Port? Lin Jinxiao is the king of Pingning Prefecture and the governor of the prefecture. Of course he has the final say here, and I don't know what her power is.
Lin Jinqian didn't seem to notice that he was already angry, but she smiled at him firmly and said: "As for these recipes, I have a way to make them better than others."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned to Tang Yuanxi who was enjoying the food. The two of them whispered to each other: "Sister Princess, why do you think you are very close to Prince Pingning?"
Tang Yuanxi was so embarrassed by her sister-in-law's questioning.
"Tell my sister-in-law honestly, have you fallen in love with King Pingning?"
Lin Jinqian had actually seen through her thoughts a long time ago.
Not long ago, Tang Ru wrote a letter to his father-in-law, Tang Yao, about this matter. Tang Yao was very angry about this.
However, her father-in-law did not tell her about this, so she could only pretend to be ignorant and inquire about it herself.
Tang Yuanxi knew that her father was worried that the Queen Mother would be jealous of this matter, so he did not inform his sister-in-law. But now, I am afraid that only her sister-in-law and the Queen Mother can help her.
With a bitter look on her face, she said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, I am not afraid that you and the Queen Mother will be too worried. I will not marry Prince Pingning in this life."
"What's the matter? It's normal for a man to love a woman and I understand it as well as my mother. I've made the decision for you."
Lin Jinqian looked at her happy expression, but suddenly changed the topic and said with regret: "It's just that King Pingning already has a concubine and so many heirs. If you want to marry him, I'm afraid you will have to suffer."
My sister is getting married and becomes a concubine."
"I am willing, sister-in-law, as long as I can stay with him, even if I am just a maid, I have no complaints."
Tang Yuanxi was very excited and hurriedly replied.
"Okay, I agree. I will definitely help you facilitate this matter. I will write a letter to my mother when I get back today."
Lin Jinqian smiled sinisterly and said: "But you have to promise my sister-in-law one thing. You will get all the recipes for Yuanlai Restaurant for my sister-in-law. You also have to supervise all the activities of Prince Pingning and his wife."
"this"
Isn't it obvious that these are two different things?
Tang Yuanxi frowned helplessly, but now she only wanted to marry into Prince Pingning's palace. How could she care so much? She happily agreed: "As long as it is something my sister-in-law orders, Yuanxi will try her best to do it."
Lin Jinqian finally showed a relieved smile, looked at everyone and nodded with a smile: "The food at the princess's sister's house is really good."
Concubine Yue and the two princes didn't know what they were muttering. It couldn't be a good thing anyway, so they didn't bother to pay attention to it, and they all just drank wine and ate food.
In the other courtyard to the west, two couples, Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie, had returned from Jushengfang with the quadruplets and everyone in the Chu family.
Chu Nanzhi and Mrs. Zhou laid out the dishes, ordered everyone to sit down according to their seats, and called a few maids to pour wine for everyone.
Of all the people present, Chang Lao had the highest position and the most say. In front of everyone, he took the lead in raising his glass and said with awe: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and Nanzhi girl has her own intentions. She knows that I am immortal.
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 others were not close relatives of the couple, but also close friends whom he liked.
Looking around at the crowd, he said with sincerity: "Now Pingning Prefecture has welcomed a new owner, which has completely changed its appearance. With this first glass of wine, we all toast to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, and wish your Majesty and the Empress Dowager a long and prosperous life.
I pray that all parts of our Dahe Empire will have good weather and that our country will be stable forever."
After saying that, he motioned for everyone to raise their glasses and drink it all together.
After raising the second glass of wine, he looked at Zhao Guangyuan with a deep look and said with a smile: "Brother Guangyuan, you and I have been friends for a long time, but we rarely have a drink together. Today, Grandpa's righteous deed makes me deeply admire. This
I’ll toast you with a glass of wine.”
"Chang Lao is over-reputed, and Lao Lao is just doing his best."
Zhao Guangyuan was terrified to receive such courtesy from Chang Lao.
Although the two of them got connected through their son Zhao Yan, he never mentioned it or scratched anyone's skin, which is even more grateful.
He quickly picked up the wine glass and drank with him.
On such a great day, Chu Nanzhi shouldn't have dampened everyone's interest, but because he was worried about the old lady's health, he had to bite the bullet and intervene: "Today is a festive day, and the chrysanthemum wine prepared for the great-grandfather is a bit light.
You can drink a few more bottles in moderation, but you still have to stay tight."
The words sounded like persuading people to drink, but they were more of a warning.
Nie Huaian and Zhao Guangyuan have been close friends for many years. Knowing that his student had gone to see him several times during this period, he did not dare to persuade him to drink, so he took the student's words and echoed: "We are all old bones.
Yes, we know our destiny. Even though it is a festive season, we can just drink it slowly and enjoy it without being greedy."
"What Mr. Nie said is very much in line with what I mean."
Zhao Guangyuan looked at Chu Nanzhi slightly. Although he felt helpless, his heart was filled with warmth.
In all my life, I have never been controlled like this. I never thought that when I get old, I will be controlled by a little girl.
