The horse rushed back to Jinwang Mansion in the dark.Behind him on the horse's back was a basket with a piece of dough kneaded last night in it.The dough rested for several hours and became extremely resilient.

After studying hard with the inn master for a few days, he was finally able to make a bowl of longevity noodles that looks similar. Although the taste is not quite satisfactory, at least it can be swallowed.

The inside and outside of the palace is very quiet at the moment, occasionally guards pass by in groups, they try to be as light as possible, for fear of disturbing the slumber of the masters.The carriages that came to give gifts in front of the mansion lined up the entire street, and most of them were probably sent away by the chief executive Hu Buxi without even seeing King Jin.

The scene in other places is quite different, the kitchen of the palace has already been bustling with activity.From the prince and concubine to the princes in the backyard, everyone has different tastes, and there are dozens of breakfast options alone.

Hearing that Mr. Shen wanted to borrow the stove to make birthday noodles for the King of Jin, the cooks readily agreed, and soon everyone divided up their work, some helping to light the fire, some helping to fetch water, and some helping to clean the pot and pass the bowl .On the one hand, it is to please the celebrities in front of King Jin, and on the other hand, it is also to see if this young man can cook the noodles well, why not do it?

Shen Si first kneaded the dough into long strips as thick as a thumb, rolled it into a roll and soaked it in oil, and took advantage of half an hour in the middle to hurriedly prepare the toppings.Fortunately, there are plenty of meat and vegetables in the kitchen. Shen Si picked a piece of fresh chicken breast and shredded it, added salt, sugar, and soy sauce to stir-fry, and added shredded green onion, radish, and ginger according to the list written by the master. .The water on the chicken was not drained, and it was fried as soon as it was put into the hot oil. Oil spots splashed on the arms, and several red spots were burned immediately.

The cooks were taken aback, and hurriedly went to look for the ointment: "What should I do? The little ones immediately put the ointment on the young master."

But Shen Si stopped him with a wave of his hand: "This little injury is nothing serious, just let it go for two days and he will be fine."

He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't even notice the charcoal and flour on his face.After the toppings were cooked, he stretched the noodles into thin strips and put them in the pot. Unfortunately, the technique was not very skillful, and the noodles were sometimes thick and sometimes thin. Fortunately, the whole strip was finally smoothed down without breaking halfway.

After the noodles were cooked, he thought about the time and estimated that King Jin should have gotten up, so he filled a food box with birthday noodles, eggs and various side dishes, and went to King Jin's study with his hands.

Sure enough, several attendants at the door of the study were waiting in line with tea, hot water and other household items, waiting for King Jin to summon them.Seeing Shen Si's sudden appearance, the attendants all had strange expressions on their faces, and someone hurried forward and bowed to salute: "My lord, please wait a moment, this subordinate will report to the lord."

"Don't bother, I'll go find him myself." He walked in briskly while talking in thought.One is that he is used to being casual in front of King Jin, and the other is that he wants to surprise King Jin.King Jin was nowhere to be seen on the ground floor, so he ran upstairs excitedly, calling out, "Shou Zhi, today is your birthday, I wish you a long spring in Xuan Pavilion, and evergreen pines and cypresses. Come while it's hot..."

As soon as the door of the side hall opened, there were footsteps coming from behind the curtain, Shen Si looked up, and was surprised to see Ge Xiaobai leaning on the railing and looking down at him.Ge Xiaobai's hair was loose, and he was only wearing an undershirt. The neckline was wide open, revealing a large snow-white and thin chest on the inside.

Ge Xiaobai's appearance made Shensi a little bit astonished: "You...why..."

Before he could speak, Ge Xiaobai first asked with a half-smile: "Hey, isn't this Nianqing, who barged in like this and asked to see the prince?"

Shen Si opened his mouth in bewilderment, but no sound came out.

At this time, King Jin also came out of the side hall, stood behind Ge Xiaobai and greeted Shen Si: "Nianqing is here, come up and sit down." It's still early, why don't you go back and lie down for a while."

Ge Xiaobai leaned forward, huddled in King Jin's arms and said coquettishly, "My back is so sore that it looks like it's going to break. Could you please help me, my lord, to help Xiaobai?"

King Jin narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and suddenly with both hands he lifted Ge Xiaobai horizontally, turned around and returned to the side hall.

Shen Si stood there blankly for a moment, then walked upstairs without making a sound, placed the freshly cooked hot noodles in the food box on the table, and left silently with her head down...
