Palace Full of Delicacies

The man was wearing a white thin shirt, lying on his side on the quilt, dreaming soundly, his slender body curled up on the small wooden bed, looking a little aggrieved.As if disturbed, he raised his sword eyebrows lightly, opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Su Yu, turned over and went back to sleep.

Su Yu didn't understand what was going on at all, he just made breakfast, and within half an hour, there was someone extra on the bed, "That... Young Master, may I ask..."

The person who slept on the bed with loose hands and feet opened his eyes in a jerk, turned his head slowly, looked at Su Yu who was full of doubts, and then looked at his own body, and suddenly became stiff.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and the lying person sat up and looked straight at Su Yu.His eyes are very good-looking, clear and bright, with the tails of the eyes raised, but they are slightly narrowed at this moment, which makes them feel a little more dangerous.

Facing those eyes, Su Yu felt as if he was being stared at by a beast, and the hairs on his back began to stand up. "Young master, why are you... why are you in my room?" Swallowing, as the master, He should have questioned this uninvited guest with confidence, but at this moment he felt that he had made a mistake.

"My..." The man stood up and raised his hand, revealing a little golden fluff on his cuff.

"Sauce!" Surprised, Su Yu raised his hand to pull his sleeve.

"Don't let anyone know," the man nimbly avoided Su Yu's touch, and pinched Su Yu's chin with his slender, white hand. His voice was as clear as a cold spring in a mountain stream. It was pleasant to the ear, but it made people shudder." Otherwise, the entire Su family will have difficulty surviving."

Su Yu was completely stunned, he didn't understand why raising a cat would involve his family's life, and before he could react, the man pushed him away roughly, jumped up the wall lightly and silently, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The East Street is very lively today, the Seafood Restaurant is unveiled and opened, and lion dance and juggling are naturally indispensable.

As early as half a month ago, people were curious about the rotating wooden ladder built at the off-angle.Usually, when building a house, one should pay attention to symmetry. The boards should be balanced left and right, and the carvings should echo up and down. It is really rare to cut the boards into one big end and the other small one, and the wooden ladder that rotates up.

Now, the strange ladder has dried the paint and is displayed brightly in front of the world.The vermilion railings are simple and without any decorations. The wide staircase looks like a dragon hovering upwards. At the top is a small domed pavilion, which is very unique.

As a big reward for the opening, Su Yu asked two small chefs to fry a few large baskets of squid rings overnight, and carved a flower seal with a radish, and the spectators came forward and stamped on the back of their hands, and they could get a squid ring.Things that don't cost money are very popular no matter when they are. As soon as the squid is carried out, the lion dance stage is surrounded by water.

The able Qing guest in Prince Zhao's mansion was surnamed Yuan, and everyone in the mansion called him Mr. Yuan.As soon as Su Yu squeezed into the crowd, he was grabbed by Mr. Yuan who was too busy to touch the ground, "Master Su, you are here."

"Where is the prince?" Su Yu looked left and right, anxiously looking for the figure of King Zhao. Regarding the sauce, only An Hongzhen could explain it to him.He knew that this cat seemed to be very important to the royal family, and King Zhao made it clear that he could not disclose the news of this cat.

"I don't know," Mr. Yuan pushed Su Yu upstairs, signaling to change the tune of the gongs and drums downstairs, "Hurry up and uncover the plaque."

Su Yu stood on the stairs and looked down, and soon found An Hongxi mixed in the crowd. At this moment, His Royal Highness King Zhao was crowded in the crowd, cheerfully following the crowd to lead the squid ring.

Sighing helplessly, he couldn't be in a hurry at the moment, so he had to take the pole handed over by Mr. Yuan, and to the rhythm of gongs and drums, he lifted the red cloth on the plaque.All of a sudden, firecrackers were fired, and everyone looked up one after another. The three gilt characters of "Xianmantang" were shining brightly in the sun.

It was the first time to own his own restaurant, even if Su Yu was a man, he couldn't help being a little excited, but at the moment he was thinking about other things, this mood was diluted a lot, on the surface he looked stable and mature.Mr. Yuan looked at and nodded secretly, gestured to the gong beating, and motioned for Su Yu to speak.

"The shop is open today. Except for tea, all dishes are half price." Su Yu straightened his back and said loudly.

The gongs and drums stopped suddenly at the moment he spoke, and the crowd fell silent for a moment.

"Okay!" King Zhao who was in the crowd applauded loudly, and everyone came to their senses and followed suit.The gongs and drums sounded again, those who have good food had already stepped on the spiral staircase first, and the crowd swarmed up.

In a small restaurant with only two rooms, there are ten square tables, large windows are opened on three walls, and a counter is placed on the windowless side.Su Yu rented the small courtyard behind the residential house as the back kitchen, and the original small stairwell was opened upside down, just for serving dishes.

King Zhao didn't grab a seat, so he had to go around to the back kitchen and asked Mr. Yuan to set up another table for him in the yard.

"This young master Su is definitely not something in the pool, the prince really has a discerning eye." Mr. Yuan sat opposite An Hongxi and said in a low voice.

This Mr. Yuan, whose real name is Yuan Ce, is the most powerful counselor in the palace.This time King Zhao said that he had important matters to deal with. Mr. Yuan worked diligently and diligently with the heart of loyalty to the royal family. So far, he has not found any other deep meaning besides opening a restaurant.

However, these days, Su Yu’s various ideas on how to operate the restaurant are amazing, even the well-informed Yuan Ce is also greatly impressed. Seeing that the seafood restaurant’s business is so good today, he finally understands what the prince said What does the "important matter" refer to? It refers to the talent Su Yu!

"Yeah..." An Hongxi nodded while eating, he is a rare good cook in a hundred years.

"My lord, I have something to tell you." Su Yu glanced at Mr. Yuan. Regarding the matter of cats, King Zhao told him not to talk about it in front of others.

"I'll go upstairs to have a look." Mr. Yuan wisely stood up and went to the front to greet the guests.

After Mr. Yuan left, An Hongxi looked around, frowned, and said, "Where's the cat?" This person and the cat stick together every day, why did they disappear today?

"Someone suddenly appeared in my room this morning and took the sauce away." Su Yu said anxiously.

"What did you say?" An Hongxi stood up awkwardly.

Su Yu quickly recounted what happened in the morning.

After listening to Su Yu's description, An Hongxi sat back slowly, coughed dryly and said, "Ah, don't worry, since it's him, then it's nothing."

"My lord means..." Su Yu blinked.

"Well, he probably returned to his original place," An Hongxi said vaguely, "This cat is extremely important to the royal family. Don't worry, you will see him again in the future."

Regarding the mysterious man in the morning, King Zhao seemed unwilling to talk more, and urged Su Yu to cook quickly.

Could it be that the sauce is some kind of beast that protects the country?Su Yu was thinking wildly while putting the ingredients he had prepared in the pot.That cat is abnormally smart, and it cannot be said that it is really a spiritual creature.

"Master, we should cook all our good dishes for the opening today, why only serve two kinds of dishes?" The little chef was a little puzzled by Su Yu's rule that he only cooks two kinds of dishes a day.

Su Yu glanced at Xiao Chu, who was only 16 years old, and sighed.Xindao, child, it's not your master, I don't want to make money, it's because I can't do it alone.

The two chefs are very clever. I don’t know where Mr. Yuan found them. Their skills are not bad, but the short-term training is not very effective. It will take some time to make the dishes on Su Ji’s recipes. At present, the main dishes are still Su Yu had to do it alone, and in ancient times when there were no refrigerators, the storage of seafood was also a big problem.

In order to save materials and energy, Su Yu simply stipulated that only two high-grade dishes are served every day, and other dishes such as barbecue, seafood noodles, and seafood porridge are not limited, and there are "boiled prawns" that only need to be boiled. The dishes that can be dipped in soy sauce are also available every day.

After a busy day, Su Yu returned home, staring at the wooden bed in a daze, feeling empty in his heart.Habitually looking for hairballs on the quilt, usually it will sleep sprawled in the middle, until Su Yu comes over, it will move away a little bit like alms, looking like a grandpa who "sees your pity and gives you a place".

In this fearful and unknown different time and space, Sauce is a spiritual sustenance for him, and he was snatched away so suddenly, without even saying goodbye...

Su Yu lay on the bed for a while, thinking of that strange man in the morning, King Zhao meant that that man would bring the cat back to the royal family, could it be the royal guard?Then why did the hidden guard sleep while performing the task?

"It's hard work for the dark guards on the night shift..."
