That kind of beauty always makes people want to get closer like a moth to a flame, but at the same time, they have the urge to destroy it.
Su Jingxing looked at her with seemingly calm eyes, but anyone in the house could feel that something was different.
Otherwise, Jiu'er wouldn't be able to enter the Su Mansion.
"Su Jingxing~" Jiu'er stretched out her hand and waved in front of his eyes through the window.
Su Jingxing lowered his eyes, "Miss Ah Jiu."
"It's me." Jiu'er smiled.
She poked her head in and asked him, "Why haven't you been to Yiyi Bookstore these days? I've been looking at it eagerly every day, but I haven't waited for you to come."
In the distance, the shadow guard in the dark gritted his teeth and stood up for his own injustice.
I hummed in my heart.
This girl Ajiu abandoned her master halfway, but now the villain is the first to complain.
Su Jingxing looked at her, "Miss Ah Jiu knows where Su lives. If you want to see Su, why don't Miss Ah Jiu come by yourself?"
Jiuer was stunned for a moment, his eyes curled up and he smiled even happier.
"Su Jingxing, do you blame me for being late?"
She leaned half of her body on the window sill and leaned over, "If I had known you missed me, I would have put down everything to see you."
Shadow Guard in the Dark: "..."
Miss Ajiu, you really don’t know what it means to be shy!
"..." Su Jingxing's lips moved, but in the end nothing came out.
Jiuer's eyes curled up and he asked, "You also want to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, right?"
"I'm just here to tell you, and I will go too. If the matter between you and the Tenth Princess is brought up at that time, and you need me, I will definitely stand up and testify for you."
Su Jingxing paused slightly, "The palace is like no other. Miss Ajiu's kindness was appreciated by Su."
Jiuer smiled even brighter, "You are worried about me."
Su Jingxing hesitated, sat down again, and started reading.
Jiu'er was half-lying on the window sill, supporting his head with both hands, looking at him with interest.
The shadow guards in the dark were speechless again.
Miss Ajiu, you are too straightforward!
What was even more speechless was that Su Jingxing kept reading, and Jiu'er kept reading with Su Jingxing beside him, without making any noise or making any fuss.
It wasn't until lunch time that Jiu'er, a freeloader, discovered that Su Jingxing had eaten very little.
Jiuer said, "Su Jingxing, you eat so little. Is it because you have a bad appetite?"
She was a little anxious, "It is the most basic thing for a person to eat well. Anyone who can eat well will not be in poor health. Otherwise, no matter how good the body is, it will not last long..."
Then she smiled brightly and said, "Don't look at me like this. In fact, the food I cook is delicious. I'll cook it for you~ Maybe you can change the taste and you will have an appetite."
She did what she was told, and Jiuer found someone to take her to the kitchen just like her own family.
The people in the kitchen were also well-trained, but when they saw Jiu'er coming in, they were still a little surprised and didn't know what to do with her.
Jiu'er asked in a good-natured manner without any airs, "What kind of flavor does Su Jingxing usually prefer?"
Only then did the people in the kitchen come to their senses. Is Miss Ah Jiu going to make food for the master?
Seeing her going back and forth to select ingredients, the aunt in charge of the kitchen quickly stepped forward and reminded her tactfully, "Miss Ajiu, our master doesn't eat meat very much and prefers light food..."
Jiu'er nodded and commented matter-of-factly, "Although eating lighter foods is indeed beneficial to health, if you stay light for a long time and don't eat meat and fish, you will easily lose your appetite, which is also bad for your health."
Having said that.
When she saw that she had chosen a medium-sized chicken, the cook was still shocked.
"Miss Ajiu, what are you..."
"You will know later. In fact, this dish is quite simple. But I have the ability to make very simple recipes into delicious food~" You must be proud.
The cook wanted to stop it, saying that no matter how the chicken was cooked, the master would not eat it.
The reason why there is a kitchen is that other people in the house need to eat.
It was obvious that Jiu'er was in such high spirits that the cook couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm.
The chicken was packed and looked the freshest.
This also saves Jiu'er a lot of trouble.
The cook didn't have much hope for Jiu'er. This young girl, who is tender, white and pretty, even if she has learned some cooking skills, is not very...
The cook had just come up with this idea, and saw Jiu'er's various skilled movements, which were called crisp and neat.
At first glance, he looks really skilled!
And soon the well-informed cook knew what Jiuer was doing.
‘Beggar’s Chicken’!
This practice is also popular in some places, but families such as the Su Mansion do not eat it. This practice is even less common in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Mainly because the name really doesn't sound very nice.
The process of doing it is not very beautiful either.
When Jiuer buried the wrapped chicken on the ground through a series of operations and asked people to start lighting a fire on it, the cook couldn't help but be curious while waiting.
"Miss Ah Jiu, the way you cook this... chicken is indeed a little different."
"This is improved. It's different from most practices in the world. It's normal."
The cook is quite old and has been in Su Mansion for many years.
I still have deep feelings for my master Su Jingxing.
Seeing Jiu'er's appearance and temperament now, the main reason is that the young master is special to her and likes her a lot.
Then we started chatting with her.
"At such a young age, Miss Ah Jiu is so neat and tidy when it comes to cooking. It's amazing."
Jiu'er smiled brightly at her and said casually, "It's nothing. Some people in my family are also very picky. In order to coax them to eat, I slowly became acquainted with it."
The cook said kindly, "But Miss Ajiu is the elder in the family? Miss Ajiu is really filial."
elder?
Two vague figures flashed through Jiu'er's mind, and the smile on his face froze.
"probably."
Seeing that her mood was suddenly a little off, the cook immediately changed the subject.
About an hour later, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Jiu'er's face because she insisted on controlling the heat by herself.
Finally, Jiuer announced, "It's almost done~"
With the help of the cook, when the beggar's chicken wrapped in lotus leaves was dug out and the mud shell was cracked, a scent that penetrated people's heart came out.
The shadow guards secretly swallowed their saliva.
How come this smell is so much better than the roasted chicken they usually eat? It's terrible!
They were all like this. Seeing the effect with their own eyes, the chef, a professional, was shocked again.
"This... Miss Ah Jiu, this smells so delicious!"
"Does it smell good? Your master should have an appetite. It's delicious and not greasy at all."
"This..." The cook was a little embarrassed.
"Miss Ajiu, our master really doesn't eat this usually. He has never eaten... beggar's chicken. But since you made it yourself, Miss Ajiu, maybe the master will want to try it."
Jiu'er looked at her funny, "Auntie, your Su family is so big, but you are just like others. There is nothing you can't say about beggar chicken." (To be continued)
