Shen Lie forced himself to calm down and looked at the majestic old man's stern demeanor and the gorgeous blue brocade robe he was wearing.
That old face full of wrinkles, and the power in those eyes...
Shen Lie couldn't help but take a deep breath, and an idea came to his mind. Judging from his demeanor, this old man was definitely a big shot.
Still from the palace!
Shen Lie was about to face him bravely.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingxiu stood up, looked at the majestic old man and called out softly: "Eunuch Feng?"
This soft cry was as cool as an oriole, and it also contained a bit of surprise.
Zhang Jingxiu pulled Shen Lie behind him and rushed forward to meet him.
Feng Bao raised his head suddenly and was stunned when he saw Zhang Jingxiu, his female companion dressed in men's clothing. He couldn't help shouting: "Jing'er?"
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces at the same time, Shen Lie, who was a little nervous at first, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was one of his own and looked familiar.
The crisis is over.
Zhang Jingxiu quickly stepped forward with an ivory folding fan in hand, saluted Feng Bao, and then used the coquettish technique with a smile.
Miss Zhang used her delicate white hands to skillfully grab Eunuch Feng's sleeves and shake them a few times before letting out a soft meow like a kitten.
"Uncle Feng."
This little milky sound, combined with her bright appearance in men's clothing, has a particularly contrasting beauty, and is even a little strangely exciting.
In an instant, Shen Lie got goosebumps all over his body. He thought of a large-scale costume drama called A Futon. This style of painting is really breathtaking.
This little milky sound caused the majesty on Feng Baolao's face to disappear immediately.
Feng Bao stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Jingxiu's arm, feeling as if he was seeing his own nephew. The doting in his eyes could not be faked.
Feng Baolao was greatly relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, okay."
Shen Lie stood aside, watching this scene in his eyes, silently reciting these three words Eunuch Feng in his heart, and after a while, he was in a trance.
When Shen Lie looked at the calm old man, he suddenly shivered, and even the hairs on his body stood up one by one.
He knew who this person was.
Great eunuch Feng Bao!
Cold sweat broke out from Shen Lie's back and he couldn't stop it.
He finally met the big devil, the chief eunuch, who had been dramatized in countless film and television works. No wonder he came with so many rumors about Dongchang.
Film and television works are naturally unreliable. In the Ming Dynasty, the head eunuch was a serious and high-ranking official, equivalent to the emperor's secretary.
In addition to his physical disability, he is a serious court boss who holds great power.
Take Feng Bao as an example. This chief eunuch was in charge of the palace's logistics and commanded the eunuchs, maids and other eunuchs. A serious first-class official was also a minister of orders.
Shen Lie suppressed the thoughts in his mind and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Common citizen Shen Lie pays homage to my father-in-law."
Feng Bao just nodded, naturally he would not take him as a small shopkeeper seriously, and he continued to chat and laugh with Zhang Jingxiu.
Shen Lie breathed a sigh of relief and called out to Yun'er: "Yun'er, serve tea."
At the counter, Yun'er stuck out her little tongue, hurriedly walked out of the counter, thinking about her little feet, and went to the back kitchen to make tea without saying a word.
After a while.
As Feng Bao took a seat in the shop, he chatted with Zhang Jingxiu, talking about the family's shortcomings and the care of the elders for the younger ones.
The atmosphere in the store gradually became harmonious.
Zhang Jingxiu then smiled and said: "Uncle Feng is a rare visitor. What are you..."
Feng Bao's face, which was full of smiles, looked obviously stiff, and his lips twitched slightly, thinking about where to start with these words.
I was speechless for a while.
It took a long time.
Feng Baocai made an excuse, explained his purpose, and praised with a smile: "Isn't it that the dishes in your Biafang are so delicious? It aroused the greed of this old man. Isn't this old man here to ask for the recipe?"
He didn't dare to say that Long Live Master was addicted to eating potato chips. He wandered around the hall of his ceremonial supervisor every day, so he had no choice but to swallow the dead fly in one gulp and take the responsibility on himself.
Just say that I am greedy...
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingxiu was still a little confused and said softly: "What does Eunuch Feng mean?"
But Shen Lie understood immediately, kicked her lightly under the table, and said hurriedly: "Easy to say, easy to say. If Eunuch Feng likes the dishes of the shop, it is naturally the shop's honor."
Miss Zhang also suddenly realized.
Understood
Feng Bao brought his people here in person, and naturally he didn't hesitate to ask for ingredients and recipes. He planned to start a meal in the imperial dining room and cook it himself.
Without thinking, Shen Lie ran to the kitchen, dug out the remaining half bag of potatoes, and placed them neatly in front of Feng Bao.
Then Shen Lie bowed respectfully and said apologetically: "Father, please eat first and wait for the next potato harvest to arrive. Just ask someone to come and get it."
Feng Bao has spoken, can he refuse? It is no different from seeking death.
As a result, Feng Bao looked at the half bag of potatoes and felt extremely guilty. He hurriedly coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
Then Feng Bao waved his hand, and immediately another young eunuch with delicate features bent over and handed over a silver box.
As the little eunuch handed over the exquisite silver box...
Zhang Jingxiu slapped the folding fan and refused: "Uncle Feng is out of sight now."
As the big shopkeeper of Biianfang and the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, Zhang Jingxiu was naturally not short of money. She wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Shen Lie's wink.
Shen Lie glanced at her calmly, then quickly stepped forward to take the silver, and said respectfully: "Thank you, father-in-law for the reward."
Zhang Jingxiu obviously saw Shen Lie's look in his eyes, but he was only slightly startled and said no more. He instinctively chose to believe Shen Lie.
Shen Lie took the silver box and hugged it in his arms, then stepped back respectfully, looking at his nose and nose, assuming a respectful posture.
The store became quiet again.
This scene fell into Feng Bao's eyes, and a light flashed in his somewhat cloudy eyes, but he quickly restrained himself.
As Feng Bao smiled and waved, two middle-aged women who looked like palace maids walked in from the outside.
The sparkle in his eyes disappeared in a flash, and Feng Bao became kind again and said with a smile: "I have to trouble you to teach me this recipe."
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "I understand, you two. Please come with me."
These two palace maids are naturally from the imperial dining room.
As Shen Lie brought the two of them into the back kitchen, he began to teach Bianyifang's signature dishes. After a while, the aroma of cooking came from the back kitchen.
lobby.
In silence.
Fanzi was walking slowly outside the door, and Feng Bao was still chatting with Zhang Jingxiu. After a while, the tea on the table became cold.
The smart and clever Yun'er walked over quietly, took away the herbal tea, bowed to Feng Bao and Zhang Jingxiu, and then walked back to the counter to make a running account.
Such a well-behaved and beautiful maid, with her endearing beauty and top-grade beauty made Feng Bao's eyes light up again.
So Eunuch Feng couldn't help but look around in this small shop. At first glance, it seemed that this small shop was very inconspicuous, but you can taste it carefully.
Although the decoration of this small store is simple, a lot of thought has been put into making the most of the business area.
During the conversation.
Feng Bao looked at the pretty little maid at the counter again, at her elegant little face and the charcoal pencil she held in her green-white hands.
