Zhang Peng didn't know how he ate dinner, nor did he remember how he listened to the work report of Gundam and Latis.
At this moment, he walked to Xu Wanyi's bedroom holding the quilt, sighed, and opened the door.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Wanyi was wearing a close-fitting Western silk pajamas and preparing to rest. When she saw Zhang Peng come in, she was a little surprised and a little nervous.
"Master, he took over my yard, and then he kicked me over. He said that he wanted me to cultivate a relationship with you. Even if we don't consummate the marriage, we can no longer sleep in separate rooms." Zhang Peng started to tidy up with a bitter look on his face.
He put the table on the couch and started to spread the bedding.
"Oh," Xu Wanyi's nervousness was mostly gone.
Then the two stopped talking, and the atmosphere was strange.
"that……"
"that……"
After a long time, the two of them spoke at the same time.
"You say it first," Zhang Peng smiled awkwardly.
"I want to say, do you need another bedding? Yours is a bit thin," Xu Wanyi's pretty face was hidden in the shadow of the candlelight, and her expression could not be seen, but her voice was rare and soft.
"Ah, yes, it's a bit thin now that it's cold," Zhang Peng nodded.
"Then what did you want to say just now?" Xu Wanyi came over with a thick quilt in her arms, her expression a little unnatural.
"I just want to ask, you don't have anything to eat here. I have no appetite for dinner and haven't eaten much. I'm hungry now," Zhang Peng laughed.
"I always eat too much, and there is no food in the room all the time." But before she could finish her words, there was a rumble of hunger in her stomach.
Xu Wanyi really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in at this moment. She had barely eaten her dinner and was hungry now, but she just lost her place in front of Zhang Peng.
But surprisingly, Zhang Peng didn't mean to make fun of Xu Wanyi. Instead, he touched his belly and said, "Ah, look at my belly, hahaha, I'm so hungry."
Xu Wanyi's expression became slightly more natural, but the two of them began to fall into the awkward situation of having nothing to say.
"How about we go to the kitchen to get something to eat?" Finally, Zhang Peng broke the awkwardness.
"Okay," Xu Wanyi did not refuse...
In the kitchen, Zhang Peng skillfully lit the candlestick. Even in late autumn, there will never be a shortage of green vegetables and fruits of all kinds in the princess's mansion. With the addition of Latis, he is sure that this place is already the world's most popular food.
The most abundant kitchen.
Xu Wanyi had obviously been in the kitchen and prepared the pots and pans easily. By the time Zhang Peng had found all the ingredients, Xu Wanyi had already started to light the fire.
"The princess is also a master of cooking?" Zhang Peng was a little surprised.
"When I was young, my family lived in poverty for a period of time, so it was common to light a fire in the kitchen and help out," Xu Wanyi explained plainly.
"No wonder he is so skilled." Zhang Peng found the chef who was kneading the dough during the day and had an idea in his mind, "How about making a delicious late-night carbohydrate bomb for the princess today?"
"What?" Xu Wanyi was obviously stunned for a moment. She understood every word Zhang Peng said, but she couldn't understand them all together.
"It's up to me," Zhang Peng took out the risen dough from the jar and smiled slightly.
Mince the garlic, cut the green onion into flowers, and chop four dried chili peppers that you shamelessly got from Ratisi into powder.
Chef Lao Wang kept some fresh bean sprouts and rapeseed stolen from Latis's small vegetable garden, boiled them in boiling water and fished them out.
Roll the strong dough into thick thumb noodles, add boiling water, take it out after cooking, and spread it on the bottom of the bowl.
Spread bean sprouts and green vegetables on the surface, sprinkle the minced ginger, green onion, and chili powder evenly, an appropriate amount of refined salt, and a spoonful of vinegar.
Boil the oil in a pan and carefully pour it on the surface when the oil smoke starts to rise.
The next moment, the alluring aroma rises like the growth of all things, making people move their lips and teeth.
"The oil noodles are ready. Come, Princess, try my handiwork," Zhang Peng handed the chopsticks to Xu Wanyi with a confident smile on his face.
Unconsciously, Xu Wanyi began to swallow her saliva. The aroma of this bowl of noodles was so tempting. She was already hungry, so she no longer pretended to be reserved. She took the chopsticks, picked up the bowl and started to scoop up the noodles.
While eating, he kept chewing and chewing, while still saying something harsh as usual: "It's just normal, Chi Liu... Let's fill up my stomach, Chi Liu..."
Zhang Peng, on the other hand, kept chuffing when he picked up his bowl, but he just smiled when he heard Xu Wanyi's words.
After a storm, Zhang Peng and Xu Wanyi both sat on the threshold of the kitchen in a daze, occasionally burping twice.
At this moment, no one has time to dislike each other.
"So, you will be my junior disciple from now on?" Xu Wanyi was completely speechless to her master who said that wind is like rain.
"Yes, senior sister, I have to ask you to take more care of me in the future," Zhang Peng began to frown again when he thought of the hard days ahead.
"You are so good at being so cheap. My master has only had four apprentices in his lifetime, including you. The number of people in the world who want to join his family can be arranged from Chang'an to Luoyang!" Xu Wanyi narrowed her eyes, her tone full of emotion.
Criticism of Zhang Peng.
"Leave it to them, I just want to make enough money quickly and safely, and regain my freedom as soon as possible!" Zhang Peng said disapprovingly.
But Xu Wanyi felt an inexplicable irritation after hearing this light sentence.
She looked at Zhang Peng angrily: "Do you really want to leave the Princess's Mansion?"
Zhang Peng was confused by Xu Wanyi's unreasonable anger: "Princess, we agreed, you won't plan to default on the bill, right? Or do you want to increase the price again? You can't do this, you have to have a spirit of contract.
OK?"
She couldn't explain why. Xu Wanyi felt angry and aggrieved. She just looked at Zhang Peng without saying a word... She didn't understand why the man in front of her was so heartless.
"We are just a cooperative relationship disguised as husband and wife. Princess, you have to understand clearly that we can just have fun in front of outsiders. At other times, you are my employer and I am the shopkeeper you hire!"
Zhang Peng seemed to have come back to his senses. He looked a little surprised and hurriedly said clearly: "You must not think anything wrong about me!"
Xu Wanyi was so angry that she found that she had indeed been a little confused recently. She gradually began to rely on Zhang Peng for many things. This was not a good sign.
She resisted the urge to get angry and gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, I am the employer and you are the shopkeeper. Very good. In that case, shopkeeper Zhang Da, the Agricultural Research Institute and the Marching Commercial and Trade Department have been established for nearly a month. I, Beiting, have been
We are investing money and food, but the revenue is not satisfactory, I am very dissatisfied, you need to give me an explanation!"
Zhang Peng breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
"Are you satisfied with the salty taste of the bowl of oily noodles that the princess just tasted?" Zhang Peng asked with a smile.
"It's salty and light, refreshing and appetizing," Xu Wanyi frowned, "Don't tell me you want to open a tavern and restaurant in Beiting?"
"The pattern! Princess, the pattern needs to be opened!" Zhang Peng smiled brightly and handed the small porcelain bottle to Xu Wanyi, "Princess, don't rush to deny it, first take a look at what is in this bottle?"
Xu Wanyi took the small porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and poured the contents into the palm of her hand.
Under the dim candlelight, Xu Wanyi was horrified to see a handful of crystal clear white powder in her palm. She glanced at Zhang Peng in disbelief: "Refined salt?"
Zhang Peng smiled and nodded: "The best green salt in the world is purer than the royal tribute salt eaten by your emperor's uncle!"
Even though Xu Wangui was a well-informed princess, her little hands holding the refined salt were trembling slightly at this moment, as if what she was holding was not a handful of green salt, but a mountain of gold!
