Si Haochen held Mingruo's shoulders and looked up and down: "Your master has sent flint stones."
"Yes." Mingruo nodded, "I plan to have dinner before delving into it."
Si Haochen seemed to be relieved: "Then I will protect you."
"Pfft haha." Ming Ruoxiao bent over. She is neither a martial arts master who has made breakthroughs in martial arts nor a warlock who casts spells to protect the law. "Don't be so exaggerated..."
"What if she falls unconscious again?" Mingruo rolled up her sleeves just now, and Si Haochen frowned as he looked at the silver bracelet on her wrist.
"Oh." Mingruo can't predict what will happen then. Now, she can only see those medicine fields, and cannot access the medicinal materials in the medicine fields like the medicines in the medical system.
"Or, don't try it yet..." Si Haochen's eyes were full of worry, "Wait until you know more about it before using the flint stone."
"Master also sent two books with relevant content. I'll take a look at them later." Ming Ruo smiled brightly at Si Haochen, "I don't think there will be any big problems, so don't worry."
"Yeah." Si Haochen also understood that no matter what, you can only control it if you understand it clearly. Otherwise, you can only be led by the nose.
"Okay, I'm going to cook." Mingruo asked with a smile, "Great Protector, do you want to try the spicy hot pot?"
"Ahem, okay." Si Haochen also raised the corners of his lips.
Mingruo said she was cooking, but turned around and went into the study, grabbing medicine from the medicine drawers - white cardamom, grass fruit, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, tangerine peel, cloves... and then carrying such a pile of medicinal materials,
Go to the kitchenette.
"Are you sure it will still be delicious if you put in so many herbs?" Si Haochen felt distrustful of Mingruo for the first time.
"It's guaranteed to be delicious." Ming Ruo waved to Si Haochen, "Just go to the flower hall and wait to eat."
"I want to see what you do." Si Haochen still didn't believe it.
"You can watch it, but I'm afraid you might run away in the middle." A sly look flashed in Mingruo's eyes.
"I never run away from battle." Si Haochen walked forward with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, the kitchen is over here." Mingruo smiled and walked to the other side.
The small kitchen was neatly tidied, Zi Cao was chopping vegetables, and Zi Su put the various hot-boiled vegetables on a tray and asked Ji Xue to carry it to the flower hall. Several people saw the prince entering the kitchen and hurriedly saluted.
"Excuse me." Si Haochen raised his hand.
"Study well, Lithospermum, and you will do it next time." Mingruo came to the stove and put all the materials to be used at hand.
"My slave will learn well." Zicao took out the butter that the princess asked her to make and put it on the stove.
Heat up the butter in a pan, sauté the onions, ginger and garlic. Mingruo raised his head and smiled at Si Haochen, then poured a large handful of dried chili peppers soaked in water and those medicinal materials into the oil pan. In just a moment, the spiciness of the chili peppers was overwhelming.
It fills the entire small kitchen.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." Everyone, including Mingruo himself, began to cough. Zi Su, who was making a fire below, choked to tears.
Si Haochen finally understood why Mingruo said he would run away midway. He really wanted to go out now. But... he couldn't run away before the battle...
Fry all the spices over low heat until fragrant, add a tablespoon of bean paste, stir-fry the red oil and add the stock. The spicy and choking smell in the kitchen gradually turns into a spicy and delicious aroma.
Mingruo took off her apron: "When it boils, just add it to the hot pot and serve it."
"Yes, princess." Zicao responded.
"Let's go out first."
Si Haochen glared at Mingruo, turned around and walked out of the small kitchen. The emotion expressed in his eyes was more love than blame.
The dinner table is filled with various vegetables and meats. Perilla carries the mandarin duck hot pot and puts it on the small red clay stove in the middle of the table. The golden pot is like a Tai Chi diagram, with fragrant milky white bone soup on one side and fresh and bright red on the other.
The spicy soup is delicious just looking at it.
Having eaten chicken soup hot pot before in Zhuangzi, Si Haochen had accurately figured out the heat of each hotpot dish and was enjoying the meal. When he took the first bite of the hotpot dish in spicy soup, he felt it was too spicy, so he decided to go back to the bone soup.
But after taking a few mouthfuls of bone soup, I felt something was missing, so I went to the spicy soup side by accident...
Mingruo has always felt that only spicy soup is the soul of hot pot. Therefore, even though it is so spicy that it makes her mouth red, she is still addicted to spicy hot pot.
The two of them were eating enthusiastically in the flower hall, and Bai Shen came out covered in frost and snow: "Your Majesty, a secret letter has come from the northwest."
Si Haochen put down the chopsticks in his hand and took the letter.
"Master Bai, have you had dinner? If not, let's have hot pot together." Hot pot naturally has an atmosphere when there are many people.
Bai Shen had been busy outside all day, and when he saw this steaming table, he certainly wanted to eat together. But... he looked at the prince cautiously.
Si Haochen had already read the letter and frowned slightly, but still nodded to Bai Shen.
"Then Bai will be disrespectful." Bai Shen pulled out his chair and sat down.
Jixue brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and helped Bai Shen adjust the dipping dishes: "Master Bai, please."
"Thank you." Bai Shen tried the bone soup conservatively first. It was delicious. Then he tried the spicy soup. It was even more delicious. Bai Shen thought that if Qin Mo, who doesn't like spicy food, came to eat, he would probably use this.
Spicy soup with rice.
"Princess, is this hot pot a Nanrong dish?" Anyway, he had never eaten it in Donghuan.
Mingruo thought about it carefully and found that there was no such thing as hot pot in the memory of the original owner: "This is the way I came up with it myself. Winter dishes cool down quickly, so it will keep you warm."
"The princess is so thoughtful, she can actually come up with such delicious dishes." Bai Shen found that his princess was not only well-informed, but also could come up with many wonderful ideas.
"Haha." There was no other way, so Mingruo could only accept the compliment shamelessly.
An idea flashed in Bai Shen's head. In this winter, the restaurant will definitely make money selling hot pot!
Jian Mingxuan opened by the princess also had customers coming in like clouds every day. Bai Shen said: "Princess, have you ever thought about opening a restaurant that specializes in selling hot pot?"
"Ah... I never thought..." Although opening a store can make money, it requires a lot of manpower, which is not as easy as seeing a doctor and selling medicine. "Opening a restaurant is too troublesome."
"..." Bai Shen is not only in charge of the palace's properties, but also takes care of many secret businesses. The prince's army of 300,000 is very expensive to raise. Bai Shen is thinking about how to make money every day, "Since
If the princess thinks it’s troublesome, why don’t you sell the recipe of this pot to Mr. Bai, and Mr. Bai can open a restaurant?”
"Okay." Don't say it's a purchase, it's fine as a free gift. Mingruo doesn't think it's a big deal.
According to the report from Butler Zhou, he has an endless supply of ideas for the princess to start a business. He has to lure her onto his own ship: "You might as well get the princess to become a shareholder. The princess has many ideas to make money."
