The two walked into a study room. The servant who was waiting for aside came forward to take the sable velvet cloak that the man in black had untied. After the man in black sat down after the man in black was sitting down behind the red sandalwood cloud pattern, he sat down on the black-painted pomegranate flowering chair beside him, and smiled at him: "There are also great efforts for the husband to secretly visit the people all the time in the past few days. In order to avoid the spies from the court, he still had to aggrieved the husband and disguise himself. It was really hard for him."

The man in black said calmly: "I was a commoner. I was able to teach the prince because I was respected by the prince. I was not a noble family. Therefore, I don't pay much attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation on weekdays, and now I can't say that I have any grievances or hard work. However, the prince grew up in a beautiful place. I wonder if I can still adapt to my life these few days?"

When the young man heard this, he looked solemn and said, "Sir, I don't know anything. In order to avoid the spy from the court, I grew up with my father in the army since I was young.

Mr. Sir, I should have heard that my father was extremely strict in the military management and strict in military discipline. As the commander, he had to be like ordinary soldiers in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there were no maids and servants around him to serve him.

So since I was a child, I had to learn to take care of everything about myself. I slept in ordinary tents and quilts, wore coarse cloth and iron armor, and ate the same steamed buns and pickles as soldiers.

In other words, in recent years, because I am getting older and need to stay in the palace for more time, my mother arranged for me to accompany me to a few servants and guards."

Speaking of this, the boy's expression changed and he said shyly: "Speaking of this, the conditions in the army are indeed not as good as those in the royal palace. Just for food, every time I am in the army, I miss the snacks and medicinal foods my mother made himself. I won't laugh at me for being greedy for being greedy, right?"

When the man in black heard this, he laughed heartily and said, "Where is where! This love of food is human instinct. My greatest pleasure in daily life is to visit food everywhere. How could he laugh at the prince?

However, the house we are staying in is pretty good, with elegant and fresh arrangements, and the scenery in the garden is also beautiful and exquisite, but only the chef's skills here are. I really can't be praised.

These days, it’s time for dinner every day, so I have to run out by myself and go to the restaurant outside to find delicious food to fill my stomach.”

The boy also smiled. He looked at the man in black with a little close look, and said, "I am the same as the sir!"

However, today they specially found a few chefs, which are said to be from the Jiangnan region, and each has several special dishes from the ancestral traditions.

It's late tonight. I'm a little hungry, so why should I try their skills with me?"

The man in black smiled with satisfaction and said, "I have obtained it!"

I was still thinking just now. After returning to the room, I asked the servant to go out to find some snacks to fill my stomach, otherwise I would be unable to sleep if I was hungry. The prince’s suggestion was very consistent with my heart!

This Baiwei Fresh in Jiangnan is a time-honored restaurant that has been established for a century. The semicolons are everywhere. Each place has its own unique secret delicacies. Unexpectedly, the prince's subordinates can invite them to come, so they can have a feast tonight!"

The young master smiled and ordered the servant in green who was standing beside him and said, "Go to the kitchen and tell them that they can start preparing."

The servant in green respectfully agreed to the promise and bowed and retreated.

Outside the kitchen in the yard, a graceful figure stood in the quiet night. She stood there quietly, looking into the distance, and seemed to be admiring the night, and the figure looked particularly leisurely.

A little maid in red walked to her side with broken steps and replied in a low voice: "Madam, the prince's order to start."

When the woman heard this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She took out a piece of flower paper from her sleeve and handed it to the little maid in red and said, "Go to the kitchen and tell the four chefs to make these four dishes and two soup porridge, and I will make the others."

The little maid in red took the flower note with both hands, Ying Nuo went to the kitchen.

When Cui Linglong saw the little maid in red entering the kitchen, she turned around and went to another small kitchen located at the west end of the yard. In the spacious and bright, four neat maids stood there. When she saw her walking in, she hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen my wife."

Cui Linglong's eyes quickly swept across the brightly lit kitchen, waved his hand and smiled, "Okay, the prince has already given instructions. Let's start quickly, don't delay the prince's reception of distinguished guests. Haitang, tie the apron for me; Dujuan, wash the plate of shrimps and peel the chicken breasts; coral clean the chicken breasts, and agate clean the two lotus root nodes."

The four maids immediately acted quickly when they heard this.

After Haitang tied her apron, Cui Linglong asked Haitang to peel the onions, and she was quickly preparing condiments such as salt, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and soy sauce.

After Coral washed half a pound of chicken breast, Cui Linglong quickly put the big pot on the burning stove, boiled boiling water, then put the chicken breast into the water, picked three green onions and four slices of ginger into the water, then covered the lid, and simmered it over medium-low heat for a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, she lifted the lid and saw that the chicken breast was cooked, so she pulled out the chicken breast and put it in a bowl to cool. Then she tore the meat into small thin strips with her hands and placed it evenly in a green jade lotus leaf plate.

Next is the seasoning sauce - Cui Linglong puts soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper oil, chili oil and cooked white sesame seeds in turn. After stirring the seasonings with bamboo chopsticks, pour the seasonings on the shredded chicken, sprinkle a handful of coriander foam, and then mix the seasonings with shredded chicken evenly, thus completing this spicy shredded chicken.

After she finished making the spicy chicken shredded chicken, Du Juan had washed a plate of live shrimps, then removed the head and shelled it and put it on the plate for later use.

Cui Linglong put the peeled shrimp on the chopping board and quickly cut it into small diced pieces, put it into a bowl, add two green onion pieces and three slices of ginger, and marinate for a while.

Afterwards, she took two eggs, skillfully knocked them into a large water porcelain bowl with pastel folded in lotus petals, then added twice the warm water as much as the egg liquid, then mixed with half a spoonful of salt, stirred evenly with bamboo chopsticks, and filtered with a white cloth to the bowl used for steaming.

She then put the bowl into the steamer, put it in the pot with cold water, and after it sets on fire, cover the lid of the steamer until the surface of the egg liquid solidifies.

After steaming, Cui Linglong lifted the lid of the steamer, put the pickled shrimp into a bowl evenly, put the steamer on the steamer and continue steaming until it is cooked. Finally, when the pot is boiled, the steamed shrimp eggs are ready.

Cui Linglong took a breath and heard the little maid in red come to report that the dishes in the big kitchen were almost ready. She accelerated the speed in her hand.

The agate on the side had washed and peeled the lotus root. Cui Linglong cut the two lotus roots into thin slices and then started making pork filling.

Beat an egg into the chopped pork filling, then add scallion, salt, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Then she mixes well with bamboo chopsticks.

Then Cui Linglong took a piece of lotus root and put it on the meat filling, then took another piece and covered it on the meat filling, and pinched it tightly and aligned it.

Until she put all the lotus root slices into the meat filling, she took the flour, added an appropriate amount of salt and warm water to mix into the batter, and then put the lotus root into the batter and wrapped it with the batter.

Then heat the pot and add oil. When the oil temperature is 70% hot, Cui Linglong puts the lotus root clip wrapped in the pot in sequence and fry until both sides of the lotus root clip are golden.

Then take out the agate and put it on the plate. Cui Linglong then put white vinegar and sugar in the pot, add the pre-made tomato sauce, and then add the appropriate amount of prepared starch after boiling. Wait until the sweet and sour sauce is bubbled, then turn off the heat when it is boiled, then pour the sweet and sour sauce on the fried lotus root clip. This sweet and sour root clip is ready.

Then Cui Linglong started making the last fried lotus root slice. She first cut the white green onion and leaves into foam, cut the ginger into small slices. The lotus root was peeled and cut into thin slices.

Then soak the lotus root slices in warm water with white vinegar to prevent the lotus root slices from changing color after frying.

After the oil in the pot is hot, she adds the scallion foam and ginger slices and stir-frys to bring out the aroma.

After that, she poured the lotus root slices into the pot and stir-fry, adding water while stir-frying, and pouring the water slowly.

After adding water twice, stir-fry until the lotus root slices are a little transparent and unsolid, she sprinkles in salt and stir-fry well. Finally, sprinkle in the scallion leaves before raising the pot and mix well.

The man in black and the boy who were already sitting in the lobby were finally waiting for the food to be served amid the chat and laughter.

A team of maids wearing uniformly beautiful blue jackets, holding chicken-wand wooden trays in hand, and then arranged delicious food on the huanghuali wood cloud patterned slabs in front of the man in black and the young man in an orderly manner.

The man in black raised his chopsticks and tasted the closest red mutton pepper butterfly sliced ​​and Wuliu crispy fish, which was closest to him. After carefully savoring, he showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "It's true that the skill is good! These two red mutton pepper butterfly sliced ​​and Wuliu crispy fish are very authentic and taste very delicious. The chef with fresh flavors is indeed worthy of being famous!"

Hearing this, the young man smiled and raised the green jade cup in his hand and said to the man in black: "How can there be no wine if there is delicious food? This is the treasured autumn dew white in the yard. I wish you a cup of sir!"

The man in black also raised the glass cup in front of him and drank the nectar in the cup in one go.

Halfway through the wine, the man in black put down his glass and said regretfully: "There is wine and delicious food, but unfortunately there is no fun to dance. It's really a pity."

The boy sitting opposite him showed a cunning smile on his face and said to the man in black: "What's the regret? If sir wants to have music and dance, there will be one at this time!"

When the man in black heard this, the narrow phoenix eyes on his slightly drunk face suddenly opened and said in surprise: "Is the prince lying to me? Now in the middle of the night, where can I find music and dance? Is the prince trying to let the maids in this courtyard who can dance and have fun to come and cheer me?"

The young man smiled and said, "Sir is proficient in music theory and has also read all the singing and dancing around the world. How dare I let the maids in this mansion come and show their ugly appearance? Sir, just wait for a moment!"

As he said that, he nodded to the servant standing beside him.

Seeing this, the servant stepped back and arranged with knowledge.

The man in black looked at the boy in front of him with interest, squinted his eyes and tasted a few more delicious dishes. Suddenly, he heard a melodious sound of piano from the middle of the lobby, behind the screen of the twelve palaces. The music sound was smooth, and the tone was as clear as big beads and small beads falling into the jade plate. The artistic conception was distant and endless.

At the end of the song, the man in black woke up from obsession, raised his hands and patted him, and smiled at the boy, "The prince's command is indeed a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. This song "High Mountain" is extremely exquisite, and it can be said to be the most beautiful "High Mountain" I have ever heard of, and it makes people fascinated!"

"Sir, I'm so sorry, Linglong is really sorry!" A voice as soft as a tender willow and as clear as spring breeze came from behind the screen. Then, the man in black saw a graceful figure turning out from behind the screen.

The woman in front of her was wearing a simple and elegant crescent white hanging palace brocade shirt, a bright indigo green embroidered treasure-like flower moon skirt, a palace belt with green twisted gold threads around her waist, a bright and gorgeous hibiscus gold wide-sleeved cloud brocade dress, a silver vermilion silk cloth in her hand, a black hair on her head was tied with a charming fallen horse bun, but the bun was only casually dotted with fragments of white jade carved orchids, with a slim eyebrow painted in distant mountains, a pair of eyes were like autumn water, a sandalwood mouth was lightly opened, a slender waist was restrained, dark clouds were stacked in temples, pink cheeks, beautiful flowers, tender and fragrant skin.

The woman stepped forward slowly, with calm steps, looking very demeanor and charming, but her face looked dignified and gentle, just like a fairy concubine, and Chang'e of the Moon Palace, but more like the legendary charming fox fairy.

Cui Linglong walked slowly to the black seat, bent her knees slightly and said softly: "Linglong has met sir."

The man in black was a little surprised at first, then praised the woman's beauty, and admired her, "No need to be polite, girl, be polite."

When the boy heard this, he smiled and said, "Sir, I misunderstood. This is the head of Liyin Pavilion, Cui Linglong and Madam Cui."

The man in black suddenly realized the truth, and hurriedly stood up and smiled, "Shame, it turns out that he is the head of Pingzhou No. 1 Lefang, and he was offending just now!"

Cui Linglong lowered his head slightly, revealing a white and delicate neck, and laughed softly: "Linglong is just a businessman, but the prince's master. Linglong really dares not take this word "offensive". Please sit down."

The man in black smiled gracefully before he took his seat again.

However, Cui Linglong walked to the twelve balls of silver-golded double-layer incense burner in the hall. A pair of white soft gutters stretched out from the sleeves, and took a spice from the incense box next to it with smooth and elegant movements, and gently threw it into the incense burner. A refreshing lily fragrance immediately floated out of the incense burner.
