The happy life of a prodigal

Just for a moment, it attracted countless eyes.

Even where they were standing, the pro-military guards who were far away from here subconsciously cast envious eyes.

As for Zhao Hao, without further ado, he put down the kite and rushed to the front of the barbecue.

Chapter 244 Paintings

For eating, Fang Xiu is still very researched.

In this era when there are only basic condiments such as vinegar, soy sauce, and salt, one of the most important tasks Fang Xiu entrusts to Chunfenglou is to find spices that can be seasoned.

The chefs of Chunfeng Building didn't pay much attention to this task at first, but under the temptation of money, they still actively searched for spices that had never been used for cooking before.

It is precisely because there are too few condiments in this era, so there is a lot of room to dig.

In just over a month, the back kitchen of Chunfeng Building produced more than a dozen newly discovered condiments.

These condiments also made the dishes of Chunfenglou more delicious, attracting the attention of countless people, like Fang Xiu, who like to eat.

The original Chunfenglou is attractive, or really makes those diners give up the nearby restaurants and are willing to go to the Chunfenglou in the south of the city. There is only one reason, and that is the spirit of Chunfenglou, which is "drunk before rest".

Now, it has become a little different.

Many people don't drink alcohol, have never even tasted wine, and have never heard of "one drunk before rest", but they are still willing to go from the north, west, and east of the city to the Spring Breeze Tower in the south of the city.

Just to taste the dishes with different spices.

Chunfeng Restaurant has also become the largest restaurant in the entire capital in just one month, and its signboard is even louder than some restaurants that have been in operation for hundreds of years.

Even at noon and night every day, during the peak dining hours, one has to line up at the ticket office to get a number plate like the Jingshi Grand Theatre, and wait for nearly half an hour before going in for a meal.

Even so, there are still countless people who are willing to stand at the door, or move a small bench to sit at the door, waiting for half an hour.

This... is the magic of spices.

The grilled meat used in barbecue today is also marinated with countless spices.

Even the master chef in the imperial dining room has superb cooking skills, but he still can't make such a delicious barbecue.

The roast meat was cooked soon, Bai Xiaochun acted as a servant, using special tools, cut the roast meat into small pieces, and put them on the plate in front of him.

Then, Zhao Yan and the others matched various vegetables, the most important thing was lettuce, dipped in a special sauce, wrapped in barbecue, and stuffed it into their mouths.

In an instant, the aroma of barbecue filled the mouth.

For a moment, everyone forgot everything and was immersed in the aroma of barbecue.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour later, Zhao Yan, Zhao Hao, and Xiu'er couldn't eat anymore.

But after seeing the barbecue on the grill, he still showed some regretful expressions.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu felt helpless.

Although these people have a very high status in Chu State, it is not difficult to eat anything, even animals that will be protected in later generations.

And there is also the top chef of this era, the master chef of the imperial dining room, who still cannot resist the temptation of modern cuisine.

After all, every modern food has experienced thousands of years of evolution, and finally became the most suitable taste and passed down.

If it is not delicious, or not delicious enough, it has already disappeared in the long river of history.

After all, things like gourmet food are not like those imperial ceramics, which can only be enjoyed by the royal relatives, and there are very few remaining.

After eating the barbecue, the four of them sat on the floor, smelling the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus, watching a group of unnamed birds fly by in the sky, and always felt that the whole person was much more peaceful.

Grassland, osmanthus trees, green smoke, and four handsome young people constitute a serene and beautiful picture.

Rested for about half an hour.

Zhao Hao seemed to have remembered something, suddenly stood up from the ground, looked at Fang Xiu, and said with great interest: "Master, let's fly a kite!"

Fang Xiu heard this and glanced at Zhao Yan beside him.

After all, this kite belonged to Zhao Yan, since it was given to her, the decision-making power is no longer in his hands.

In any case, it is Her Royal Highness, and tomorrow is her birthday, which needs to be given enough respect.

Seeing Fang Xiu looking at her, Zhao Yan didn't know what she thought of, a blush appeared on her pretty face, she looked at Zhao Hao, and nodded.

Since Zhao Yan herself has no opinion, Fang Xiu has nothing to say.

So he stood up and waved to Bai Xiaochun behind him.

Bai Xiaochun understood immediately, and rushed over with a few burly Fang mansion guards.

These guards had all flown kites yesterday, and they were already very familiar with the structure of kites and changes in wind direction.

"Master..."

Bai Xiaochun walked up to Fang Xiu, and bowed respectfully.

Fang Xiu nodded and said casually, "Go."

"Yes, Master!"

After receiving the order, Bai Xiaochun turned around and winked at several Fangfu guards.

Several guards walked to the front of the kite and stood in a circle around the kite.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hao consciously walked aside without waiting for Bai Xiaochun to speak, and watched them slowly lift the kite with great interest.

Although the weight of the kite is not heavy, in terms of volume, it cannot be lifted by one person, and several people must work together.

Bai Xiaochun stood at the front, he was the one who flew the kite into the sky before, so naturally he was needed this time.

Wrapping the rope connecting the kite around his waist, he looked back to confirm that the kite had formed an angle with the ground.

He ran forward suddenly.

With a gust of wind blowing, the kite soared into the sky, and instantly rose to a distance of nearly [-] meters in the sky.

The kite that just flew up looked much more shocking than yesterday in the palace, when I saw it from a distance.

Zhao Hao stood not far away, watching the kite gradually climb up, as if thinking of something, staring at the kite closely, as if he was afraid of missing any details.

As for Zhao Yan, when she saw the picture drawn under the kite, she was slightly taken aback, and her expression became a little strange.

Just as Fang Xiu was about to say something, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yan, only to find that there seemed to be something in her eye socket, shining brightly in the sunlight.

The picture drawn on the kite has many more things compared to the previous stick figure of "Pig Boy".

Although there are still only a few simple lines on the whole, they are supplemented with colors.

The heroine in fluttering white clothes and holding a sword stands beside the lake, looking into the distance, giving people a feeling of being out of the world.

This painting, even the most famous painter today, may not be able to draw this artistic conception, not to mention, this painting is very realistic.

It was almost exactly the same as the picture in Zhao Yan's memory.

Of course, in her memory, that bad memory, that is, the memory of being put on the neck with a knife, was automatically deleted...

And on both sides of this painting, there are two lines of words written respectively, four words to be precise, birthday and happiness...

Chapter 245 Auntie, I want a kite too

When Zhao Yan saw these four words, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and there was a smile between her brows and eyes.

Zhao Hao didn't notice anything unusual about his sister, and when he saw the words 'Happy Birthday', he looked excited, pulled Zhao Yan's clothes, and said loudly: "Sister Huang, look, it says 'Happy birthday', isn't it your birthday tomorrow?

There is such a coincidence in this world, this kite..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Yan covered his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu had a smile on his face, but he didn't say much.

The kite gradually lifted into the sky, flying farther and farther.

Several Fangfu guards took turns, leading the kite and running towards the direction of the capital city.

In the city of Kyoto, it was another peaceful evening.

Most of the people felt tired all over their bodies after finishing their day's work, and were about to rush home.

Suddenly, there was a murmur of discussion in the ear, and when I looked up, I realized that the giant kite that had just appeared two days ago had once again appeared in the sky above the capital city.

Immediately, many people became interested, they all stopped, raised their eyes, looked at the kite in the sky, and tried their best to open their eyes wide, wanting to see what the painting was about this time.

After a while, someone with better eyesight saw the portrait on the kite clearly.

A heroic heroine stood by the lake, looking into the distance, with an indescribable sense of dust.

Compared with the "Pig Boy" last time, it has a unique artistic conception and aesthetic feeling.

Among the alleys in the capital, the children running and playing stopped when they saw this scene, and ran after the kite with great interest.

In an era of extreme scarcity of entertainment, the appearance of a little novelty can attract the attention of countless people.

Although these days, there are many novelties in the capital that have never been seen before, but in the eyes of children, these things are still very attractive.

As for adults, compared to before, the way of entertainment is more diverse.

When you are free, you can read various story books published by Zhuxuanzhai at home. If you have money, you can occasionally go to the Kyoto Grand Theater to watch a play.

Ordinary people who can't afford the tickets to the Kyoto Grand Theater can watch a free football match on the square in front of the Kyoto Grand Theater, which is no less exciting than a so-called "series".

British government.

After Xia Yixue finished her day's work, she walked on the quiet path with a somewhat tired pace.

Suddenly there was a child's laughter.

It was her nephew, his brother's child, the little English princess.

Hearing her nephew's immature voice, Xia Yixue, who has been like an iceberg for thousands of years, unexpectedly showed a rare smile, and walked over.

The little British princess Xia Run was playing with the servant who was studying with her, she didn't notice her aunt, and bumped her head into Xia Yixue's arms.

He rubbed his little head, and was about to say something when he raised his eyes and saw his aunt, a bright smile appeared on his immature face, and he shouted in a very clear voice: "Auntie, you are back! "

Xia Yixue squatted down, stretched out her hand, rubbed Xia Run's little head, nodded, and said with a smile, "What kind of game are you playing again, I don't even look at the road.

I just fell into the lake last time, how long has it been since I forgot? "

Hearing her aunt mentioning this, Xia Run's immature face blushed, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and whispered: "I'm clearly looking at the road..."

It really can't blame him.

Xia Yixue is a martial arts practitioner, she is as light as a swallow, she walks without making a sound on weekdays, even in the silence of the night.

Naturally, a child in the midst of high spirits could not have heard her footsteps.

Xia Yixue couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the little boy in her arms suddenly shout: "Auntie, Auntie, look!"

The childish voice was full of excitement.

Xia Yixue was slightly taken aback, and looked in the direction her nephew's little finger was pointing at, only to see a huge kite floating in the sky, almost no different from the last one.

Just the drawing at the bottom, it seems different from last time.

Seeing this kite, Xia Yixue seemed to have thought of something, with a displeasure on her face.

Last time, because of this inexplicable giant kite that suddenly appeared, there was a brief riot in the city of Kyoto.

Although they soon recovered, there were still many ruffians and hooligans taking advantage of the troubled waters to steal and rob, adding a lot of tasks to the police of the Kyoto government.

In addition, when she was about to investigate the kite matter, she was specially told by the Governor of Kyoto not to pursue the matter.

All of this made her feel depressed, and she finally calmed down after catching the local ruffians and playboys for a few days.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, this kite appeared again.

"Fang Xiu..."

Seeing this kite, Xia Yixue's pretty face showed a touch of anger, and she murmured.

"Auntie, look, there are words on the kite!"

Xia Run's immature face showed excitement, he stretched out his small hand, pointed at the kite flying in the air, and asked bouncingly, "Auntie, what are those words?"

Although Xia Yixue was very dissatisfied with Fang Xiu flying such a giant kite in the capital, but when she heard her nephew's question, she obediently raised her head and looked at the kite in the sky.

Her eyesight was excellent, and she could see the words written on the kite almost instantly—Happy Birthday.

"It says 'Happy Birthday'."
