Put the fish meat, shrimp meat and some kelp into the white rice porridge to finish cooking, take out with a spoon, put the fish and shrimp directly into the princess's bowl, and put the kelp after shelling.

The eldest princess ate quietly, and Tang Jianwei waited on her without saying a word.

After the aquatic products are finished, put the thinly sliced ​​beef and mutton into the pot and cook for a very short time. After the beautiful red and white fat lines change color and become cooked meat, they quickly pick them up and serve them to the eldest princess.

Every time she picks up the meat, the timing is very appropriate. The meat is just cooked, smooth and tender.

The sliced ​​meat is just the right size for a bite, no more, no less.

The eldest princess was forced to accompany the emperor to attend various banquets some time ago, and she felt uncomfortable eating wine and meat. She vowed that she would never eat another bite of meat during the first month.

Unexpectedly, the pieces of meat that Tang Jianwei simmered were firm and elastic, full of meaty fragrance, and the rice fragrance well resolved the greasy feeling that made her tired, and instead stimulated the sweetness of the meat, and she also experienced a deeper level of happiness when chewing .

After cooking five or six slices of beef and mutton in a row, no more meat, but seasonal vegetables instead.

The eldest princess happened to be a little unhappy about eating meat. Tang Jianwei helped her change dishes as if he could read minds.

The refreshing vegetable entrance quickly relieves the greasy feeling.

It's quite understanding...

The eldest princess secretly glanced at Tang Jianwei who was cooking quietly.

The little lady hadn't seen her for two years, and she became more and more charming.

Compared with Jiji that year, she was more charming and mature.

It's just that no matter how mature she is, she is still a 17-year-old yellow-haired girl.

He seemed calm, but the hand holding the spoon was trembling slightly from the very beginning.

After the seasonal vegetables were cooked, there should be no tricks for the white rice porridge. The eldest princess' eyes had already drifted to the steaming casserole, anticipating what kind of surprises would be in the casserole.

Tang Jianwei didn't lift the lid of the casserole, as if there was still some food left in the glazed pot.

Tang Jianwei scooped the white rice porridge that had been cooked for a long time into a bowl, and let the eldest princess taste it.

Looking at the bowl of vegetarian porridge, the eldest princess hesitated for a moment.

As the former crown prince and now the eldest princess, she has never had the habit of drinking vegetarian porridge empty mouth.

But after all, she is a person who knows how to eat, and the eldest princess understands that after the fusion of aquatic products, red meat, and vegetables, the taste of white rice porridge must be more complicated, and the feeling of entrance may be even more amazing.

She was right.

This bowl of white rice porridge that absorbed the taste of all the ingredients made her unable to stop after just one sip, and she drank it completely.

After drinking a bowl, I want another bowl.

Tang Jian smiled slightly, and filled another half bowl for her:

"Your Highness, you should save some stomach and wait for the surprise in the casserole."

For her presumptuous assertion, the eldest princess didn't mean to blame her at all. She followed her suggestion and finished half a bowl of porridge. When she put down the bowl, she couldn't wait to ask:

"What's in the casserole?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there is a pot of stew in the casserole."

"I smell it, and the ingredients are richer than this white rice porridge."

"Nothing can escape His Highness's nose. There are 21 ingredients in this stew."

"How long will it take?"

"I still need half a stick of incense." Tang Jianwei slowly poured out all the porridge in the glass basin, waiting for the eldest princess to say a few more words to her.

In fact, she counted the time just right, and deliberately set aside waiting time, so that the eldest princess could stay a little longer in anxiety and look forward to the next dish even more.

Suffering will make the already wonderful taste even more wonderful.

In this way, it can also increase the possibility of the eldest princess talking to her, and have the opportunity to make the eldest princess even more curious about herself.

The eldest princess looked at the steaming casserole, and said slowly: "Your cooking technique is very fresh, where did you learn from?"

Tang Jianwei told the truth: "All the cooking skills of Caomin were taught by my mother."

"Oh? Su Maozhen?"

"Yes, my aunt passed me a strange book three years ago, called "The Book of Omnivores", which is the secret book handed down by the Su family. It contains countless recipes that I have never heard of before. previous cooking method.

"Some of the ingredients have never even been seen in Da Cang Bazaar where all nations come to court.

"I got a baby for the first time, and the grassroots devoted themselves to research and practice without sleeping and eating. After three years, because of the limited ingredients, I only completed less than one-tenth of the dishes in the secret book."

"You mean, there are cooking ingredients recorded in the secret book that Da Cang can't buy?"

"Exactly."

"I have also been to the restaurant owned by Su Maozhen. There are indeed some fresh food, but compared with what you are doing today, it is nothing like mud."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. The restaurant is a public business, and the dishes must conform to the eating habits of the people in Beijing. If the dishes are too novel, it is because the people in Boling may not be used to them, and it will ruin their own brand name."

The eldest princess put one hand on her temple, and squinted at Tang Jianwei, who was so pretty and delicious:

"So, you still have a lot of unique skills that you haven't shown yet?"

Tang Jianwei generously admitted: "It can be said so."

"Come." The eldest princess said suddenly, "Sit here."

Tang Jianwei looked at the place the eldest princess was pointing at, which was next to the eldest princess after the table, where Tao Wanzhi had just sat.

The calm expression that had been spreading on Tang Jianwei's face froze at this moment.

Of course she knew what the eldest princess' hint meant.

The purpose of her coming here today is to get close to the eldest princess and please her.

However, at this time the eldest princess really hinted that she could serve, but her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her complexion might not look any better.

Tang Jianwei sat over, stared at the casserole intently, covered the lid with the cloth he brought, and said:

"It should be ready to eat."

The eldest princess limply leaned on her shoulders, thinking about what kind of treasures were in the casserole that made people miss her so much, Tang Jianwei didn't dare to breathe.

"Tell me, which 21 kinds of ingredients are there?" Eldest Princess supported her shoulders, looking at her profile with great interest and asked.

Tang Jianwei said: "It contains mutton, pork belly, beef tendon, mountain mushrooms, shellfish, pigeon eggs..."

"And put a lot of wine."

"Yes……"

"You want to get me drunk?"

Tang Jianwei couldn't think of how to answer for a moment.

The eldest princess didn't continue to embarrass her, and changed the subject:

"Where is the wine this time?"

"It's old wine produced in a place called Jianzhou on the southeast coast."

The eldest princess didn't dislike Tang Jianwei's introduction of her proud work, which was a bit dry at this time. She sniffed the fragrance with a strong aroma of wine and said:

"Give me a taste of this crystal clear beef tendon first."

"it is good……"

Tang Jianwei picked up the beef tendon with chopsticks and put it in a bowl. After putting down the chopsticks, he held it in front of the eldest princess with both hands.

The eldest princess had no intention of raising her hand to eat by herself.

Seeing her like this, Tang Jianwei understood, so he had no choice but to pick up the chopstick again, pick up the tendon and bring it to her mouth.

"Princess eat slowly, be careful not to burn your mouth."

The eldest princess ate the beef tendon, but still didn't get up from Tang Jianwei's shoulder. She used her shoulder as a pillow, chewed it slowly, and commented:

"The beef tendon has been boiled until it's soft, but not rotten. It's sticky on the outside and soft on the inside. There's still some, um... hiss..."

After chewing a few times, the beef tendon slowly exudes a spicy feeling.

The eldest princess took two breaths, her mouth was as hot as fire.

The heat made her lips swell, her face turned red, and she sweated involuntarily.

"What... did you put in here?"

The eldest princess opened her mouth and fanned the wind into her mouth, her posture was slightly indecent.But she didn't mean to blame Tang Jianwei at all, she was genuinely interested in Tang Jianwei's formula.

"That's the Sichuan pepper brought back from the distant Shu region by Cao Min." Tang Jianwei brought the cooled white rice porridge to the eyes of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess immediately drank the porridge to relieve the spicy heat.

The already cool white rice porridge slipped into the eldest princess' hot tongue, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Shujiao?" The eldest princess put down the porridge bowl, and there was still a lingering spicy taste in her mouth.

"Exactly. This pepper is also a very special variety among Sichuan peppers, called Zantianhong. Compared with the peppercorns familiar to the people of Dacang, it is only spicy but not numb, and the spiciness is several times that of peppercorns."

The eldest princess was still a little bit stunned by the spicy beef tendon, but after recalling the taste just now, she was a little fascinated. She picked up the chopsticks and took out a piece of pork belly.

The pork belly trembled slightly on the tip of the chopsticks, and it was hot.

Coupled with the stimulation of the spicy taste just now, the eldest princess is already salivating before she can eat it.

The pork belly is fat but not greasy, the surface is crispy and the inner layer is tough, very chewy.

Mountain mushrooms, pigeon eggs, mutton, fresh bamboo shoots, fish lips...

The eldest princess ate one mouthful after another. The strong aroma of wine and the spicy taste were almost like a miracle medicine, which made her sweat all over, her face flushed, her breathing was difficult, tears were in her eyes, but she couldn't stop her desire to eat .

She ate the entire casserole by herself, and even drank not a single drop of the soup that smelled strongly of alcohol.

After she finished eating, those beautiful crimson lips became even brighter red, like blood about to drip.

Tang Jianwei had already poured the water for her, and the eldest princess drank and rinsed her mouth several times before barely suppressing the strong spicy taste.

After putting on rouge and tidying up, it turned into elegant golden branches and jade leaves again.

Tang Jian lowered her head slightly, but she could feel the fiery eyes of the eldest princess staring at her.

The eldest princess said: "It's been a long time since I ate so much food at once."

Tang Jian smiled slightly, and when she was about to compliment her, the eldest princess raised her hand and stroked her cheek.

The fingertips slowly crossed her cheeks and landed on her ears, bringing Tang Jianwei's face forward.

Is... was it successful?

Is the eldest princess interested in her?

Very good, very good, it can be seen that the eldest princess is very interested in the dishes she cooks, take this opportunity to have a good time with the eldest princess, as long as she becomes a celebrity in front of the eldest princess, everything will be easy in the future.

But why can't I lift my head up.

She had already decided to give the eldest princess a charming and seductive smile.

The eldest princess' eyes fell on Tang Jianwei's tightly clenched fists, and she lost all interest.For a moment, they put down their hands and pulled the distance away from each other again.

Tang Jianwei's frown gradually unfolded: "?"

The eldest princess's expression returned to the coldness before eating, as if the intimacy of the meal just now was just an illusion.

Without hesitating, he got up and left the Accord.

Tang Jianwei knelt and sat there, the smell of food still lingered in the air.

A little fishy, ​​a little oily, a little disgusting.

Back in the haunted house, no one came to see Tang Jianwei for six consecutive days.

Tang saw that the "feast" thrown by Weihao failed to get a response, and now he only had sixty taels left on his body.

She didn't dare to spend these money easily, and she had nowhere to spend it, so she could only play cat-and-mouse games with Jin Wuwei and the Tang family every day.

Tang Jianwei was as tense as a string that might break at any moment.

She and Zitan took turns to go out to look for food, always leave someone in the house to look after Tang Guanqiu, in case she got lost.

Tang Guanqiu's situation has not improved at all, and he still regards her as A Niang and Shen Yue from time to time.

The money was getting less and less, and Tang Jianwei became more and more panicked.

Zitan didn't ask her, but she couldn't help asking herself.

Failed?

What is the next step?

Should I have been more proactive then?

You should be cheeky, imitate the posture of a prostitute, and take the initiative to throw yourself into the arms...

Tang Jianwei was very frustrated, she was very disappointed that she didn't make the right choice at the critical moment.

I am such a useless person.

She was ready to beg the eldest princess again, but she didn't expect that someone knocked on the door of the haunted house in the early morning of that day.

Tang Jianwei immediately went to open the door, and saw Tao Wanzhi appearing outside the dilapidated door like a goddess descending.

"Have you thought about making something newer this time, have you honored His Highness?"

Tao Wanzhi was still smiling, gentle and kind.
