Her cold words seemed to still be echoing in his ears.
Thinking of Fang Qing's indifferent indifference, Yu Tianqi suddenly lost his appetite for eating.
"Brother Qi, open your mouth. Jing'er feeds Brother Qi. Come on, speak quickly." Lu Yijing coquettishly said. Yu Tianqi usually enjoyed seeing her gentleness.
But now, he inexplicably wanted to see the face of that indifferent woman.
He thought that Luan Yuchen lived in Lan Xin, and that Fang Qing might be like Lu Yijing, feeding Luan Yuchen soup, and a fire suddenly emerged in his heart.
Snapped--
He suddenly slapped the table and stood up, startling Lu Yijing.
"Brother Qi, what's wrong with you? Did Jing'er say something wrong or did something wrong?" Her eyes were blurred with tears, and the water-filled pearls were shaking in her eyes.
Normally, when Yu Tianqi saw Lu Yijing's eyes filled with tears, he would comfort her and coax her. But at this moment, Yu Tianqi's mind was not on her at all. He naturally saw her tears and felt inexplicably irritated.
.
"Brother Qi forgot that there are still some official matters that have not been dealt with in the study. I will ask the emperor tomorrow morning. Jing'er can eat first, and there is no need to wait for brother Qi." He flew out of Tingyu Tower as fast as an arrow, until
Go to Lanxinju.
When Lu Yijing saw that familiar figure walking away so quickly, her heart tightened inexplicably and she got cold. Brother Qi must have gone to see Luan Yuqing, he must have gone to see Luan Yuqing.
Brother Qi would never abandon her like this before, but now, not only did he abandon her, he didn't even say a word to coax her.
Lu Yijing's heart was confused and panicked.
It was as if a large rock had been thrown into the calm lake, weighing her down so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Wow——
She raised her sleeves and waved all the snacks on the table to the ground. She put her hands on the edge of the table and scratched the table with her sharp nails, leaving deep finger marks.
Luan Yuqing, why do you want to come back! Why do you want to come back! You shouldn't come back, you shouldn't come back! She shouted resentfully in her heart, and her originally gentle eyes turned into sharp edges in an instant.
When Yu Tianqi returned to Lan Xinju, he found that it was pitch black inside, with no light coming out and no movement.
His dark pupils turned. Luan Yuchen had probably gone back and Qing'er had already rested. He remembered that she had said that she was tired from the journey and had to rest early.
He was pacing outside Lan Xin Ju, then suddenly turned around and walked toward the study in the south. He might as well sleep in the study tonight.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Thunder crackle, crackle crackle——
In the open space where firewood was set up and burning, sparks kept rising through the burning fireworks.
Luan Yuchen looked at Fang Qing amusedly. "So Qing'er wants to roast chicken." He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his smooth and white arms.
With Bai Zhi in the basin, Luan Yuchen lifted up the fat chicken with all its feathers faded, and quickly whittled a piece of wood into a sharp wooden fork with his sword.
"Wait a minute, brother." Fang Qing called.
"What's wrong? There's no way to barbecue without a fork." Luan Yuchen said confused.
"Brother, my roast chicken is not made like this. Don't destroy the raw materials." Fang Qing took the fat chicken from Luan Yuchen's hand. "You, just wait quietly next to it.
Just enjoy the delicious roast chicken."
She put soy sauce, rice wine, and salt into the cut chicken belly and marinated it for half an hour. Then she ground the cloves and star anise into fine powder, added the jade fruit powder, mixed well, and rubbed it on the chicken body.
Then she put the pot on a high fire, added lard and heated it to 50% heat, added chopped green onion and ginger and sauteed until fragrant, then added the diced chicken, lean pork, shrimp, cooked ham and diced mushrooms into the pot respectively.
Fry until cooked, take out of the pan, and set aside to cool.
"Chunxiang, bring the sweet-scented osmanthus and the yellow mud." Fang Qing ordered lightly.
"Miss Third, here we come, here we come." Chunxiang brought over a pot of yellow mud and a large bag of osmanthus flowers.
Fang Qing first placed the chicken on the spread osmanthus flowers, then wrapped the chicken with soft mesh and tied it up. Finally, he wrapped it in yellow mud and threw it into the hot pit where the firewood was burning. He buried it and increased the firewood.
The quantity is very high and it burns very vigorously.
Luan Yuchen looked on in surprise, and asked Fang Qing, "Qing'er, do you have any comments about the chicken you cooked?" It seemed that this method was very new, and he had never tasted roast chicken cooked in this way.
Fang Qing smiled faintly and fiddled with the fire.
"Brother, I don't know. Let Qing'er tell you that the name of this dish is very famous. It's called Beggar's Chicken, also known as Rich Chicken. There is also a legend in it. According to legend, back then,
An emperor visited the south of the Yangtze River incognito, and accidentally ended up living in the wilderness. A beggar saw how pitiful he was, so he gave him a "beggar's chicken" that he thought was a delicacy. The emperor was sleepy and hungry at the time, so naturally he thought the chicken was extremely delicious.
After eating, he asked the chicken its name. The beggar was too embarrassed to say that the chicken was called "Beggar's Chicken," so he boasted that the chicken was called "Wealthy Chicken."" Fang Qing added a few sticks of firewood as he spoke.
"Later, the beggar learned that this tramp was the current emperor. And this "beggar chicken" also became a "rich chicken" because of the emperor's golden mouth. It has been passed down to this day that beggar chickens are not treated like beggars in the past.
It is simple, and after continuous improvement and processing by later generations, over time, beggar's chicken has become a famous dish that has reached the level of elegance."
Luan Yuchen was slightly stunned. "Qing'er, why have you never heard of this famous dish?"
"My eldest brother eats all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and lives in wealthy families. How could he know this famous dish? It was also after Qing'er separated from her eldest brother at Wangyue Tower, she took Chunxiang to visit the local customs, and then she learned about the famous dishes of some places.
." She can't say it's an allusion to the Qianlong period, that would scare the eldest brother.
When Luan Yuchen heard what Fang Qing said, he nodded. "It seems that the eldest brother is ignorant." He smiled softly.
But Fang Qing called out. "Brother, hurry up, the fire is almost done, it's time for the beggar's chicken to come out of the oven." She fiddled with the burning firewood, and Luan Yuchen reached out to take it. He quickly picked up the pit, and then
The fat chicken wrapped in yellow mud flew into the air, and then landed steadily at Fang Qing's feet.
"Brother, that's amazing." Fang Qing extended his thumb towards Luan Yuchen.
Luan Yuchen looked at Fang Qing fondly, and with the wind of his palm, the outer layer of yellow mud wrapped around the fat chicken was completely shattered, revealing the fragrant roast chicken.
The skin of the chicken was golden and bright orange, and it looked very appetizing. Luan Yuchen pulled out a chicken leg and handed it to Fang Qing, and then took another chicken leg and handed it to Chunxiang.
Chunxiang took it sheepishly, took a hard bite, and said slurredly: "Miss Third, it's delicious." Her mouth was greasy, and she looked happy after eating.
She looked at Fang Qing and then at Luan Yuchen. "Third Miss, Eldest Young Master, I have forgotten to do something. I will come back soon. Third Miss and Eldest Master will eat slowly." Chun wanted to bite.
She left quickly with the fragrant chicken legs. She left a peaceful space for Fang Qing and Luan Yuchen to gather alone.
Fang Qing looked at Chunxiang's leaving figure, she smiled knowingly, shook her head, and then reminded Luan Yuchen: "Brother, eat quickly, try the beggar's chicken made by Qing'er, how does it taste?"
"
Under Fang Qing's expectant gaze, Luan Yuchen tore off a piece of chicken, put it in his lips and took a bite. He immediately felt that the roasted chicken was tender and soft, with a rich aroma of osmanthus in his mouth, and a unique flavor. He couldn't help but feel
, he raised his thumb towards Fang Qing. "Qing'er, that's amazing."
Fang Qing's mouth was filled with smiles. She looked at Luan Yuchen eating the food she had made. Just looking at it, she felt very happy, feeling warm and cozy from the bottom of her heart.
"Qing'er, why don't you eat?" Luan Yuchen saw that Fang Qing was still interested, so she just stared at him with a smile.
"Qing'er likes to watch eldest brother eat. Seeing eldest brother appreciate Qing'er's roast chicken so much, Qing'er is very happy." She also felt happy like an ordinary person.
Luan Yuchen's warm pupils showed a pampering luster. He tore off a piece of chicken and handed it to Fang Qing's lips. "Little girl, you are so lazy. If you want to eat chicken, you have to ask your elder brother to feed it. Eat it.
.”
Fang Qing looked at the tenderness in Luan Yuchen's eyes that could make water drop. She opened her red lips slightly and gently bit the chicken on Luan Yuchen's fingertips into her lips.
"How about it? The beggar's chicken you made yourself must taste delicious." Luan Yuchen said with a warm smile.
If it were Fang Qing in the past, she would definitely be able to say two words, "can eat". In the past, she had never made a distinction between good and bad food, only what could be eaten and what could not be eaten.
Now, she felt that the food was fused with her elder brother's gentle breath, and she actually found it delicious, and her sense of taste seemed to have recovered as well.
She chewed slowly, and for the first time she felt that eating was such a happy and wonderful thing. She looked at Luan Yuchen with a smile. "Brother, thank you."
Luan Yuchen's warm luster swayed, and then the corners of his eyes and brows couldn't help but reveal an infinite smile. He gently patted Fang Qing's head. "Silly girl, why do you need to say thank you to your elder brother? You used to be nothing.
I will never be so polite as my elder brother."
"Yes, Qing'er won't say thank you anymore." Fang Qing raised her head, her eyes lit up with mischief, and she raised her hand to scratch the bridge of Luan Yuchen's straight nose.
"Ghost spirit." Luan Yuchen scratched Fang Qing's pretty nose. "By the way, Prince Ning just said that Yufeng missed you and asked you to enter the palace in three days to attend Princess Anling's full moon wine. The eldest brother was thinking
That's 90% not what your second sister Yufeng means, that girl doesn't want to see Qing'er at this time."
"Because she gave birth to a princess?" Fang Qing smiled.
Luan Yuchen smiled warmly and said: "That's right. She has always fought for everything since she was a child and likes to have the upper hand in everything. Your second sister used to like to show off so much. She always said that she was carrying a dragonborn in her belly. Now that she has given birth to a princess, her face is not good or bad.
, she will definitely not be in a good mood. So——"
"So, after three days, Qing'er should be especially careful, right?" Fang Qing continued.
Luan Yuchen smiled gently, raised his hand, and gently brushed away the flying black hair on Fang Qing's forehead, but did not say anything. If he expected it correctly, it should be Yu Tianxing who borrowed Yufeng's name to invite Qing'er in.
The palace attended Princess Anling’s full moon banquet.
