Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Zhao Hanyan carefully looked at Xiuzhu who was busy there, and moved a few steps carefully to ensure that he would not be found.

Then she moved closer to Bai Yutang and muttered, "Yes, I'll give you whatever you want."

Bai Yutang couldn't help being happy, it was the first time he had heard a woman say such spoiling words to him, that he couldn't even say what he had thought of.

"No more?" Zhao Hanyan raised a successful smile at the corner of his mouth, "I know you are considerate and won't embarrass me."

Bai Yutang laughed again, but this time he laughed helplessly.He finally realized that Zhao Hanyan was deliberately 'spoiling' him, which made him embarrassed to say the request.It's really a blessing for him to fall in love with such a smart woman. From now on, fighting wits and courage every day will definitely not be boring.

Zhao Hanyan waited for Bai Yutang to finish cutting the meat, then picked up the meat slices and inspected them.Ordinary mutton is cut after being frozen, which has the advantage that it is easy to cut very thin slices.It is autumn now, and the temperature is not so cold. After a whole summer, the ice in the ice cellar in Kaifeng Prefecture is almost used up, and there is no condition to freeze mutton.Moreover, all frozen meat will inevitably appear water phenomenon, which will inevitably reduce the elasticity of the meat quality and make the taste slightly hard.Therefore, it is more beneficial to choose fresh cut, which must be fresher and more elastic than frozen.

But most of the fresh meat is soft and shapeless, so it takes a lot of work to cut it.Not only good knife skills are required, but also skill, strength and patience are all important.Although Bai Yutang's sword skills are good in martial arts, he is actually a novice in meat cutting, but he is a person with foundation. The better the cut, the thickness of the next ten catties of cut meat is basically the same, so thin that there is nothing to say.

Before cutting, Zhao Hanyan classified the mutton.

Lamb hip tip, lamb three-fork and lamb hind legs are all fat and thin. The difference is that the ratio of fat and thin is different, and the taste will be different when eaten.The fatter ones will have a more tender taste, and the thinner ones will have a more elastic taste, which can meet the taste needs of different people.

The lamb tenderloin on both sides of the lamb spine is pure lean meat, which tends to harden after a long time of rinsing, but the rinsing time is short, and it should be eaten when it is just about to change color. The taste will be very tender and not greasy.

The upper brain of the sheep is the part close to the head of the sheep. The fat meat is distributed in the lean meat like snowflakes, making it the smoothest and tenderest.

The last is the mutton tendon, which contains tendon, fascia, fat and lean meat. Thin slices are put into the pot, and then removed after discoloration. When chewed, it is crunchy, tender and elastic. It is as big as eating other parts of mutton. There are different.

During the time when Bai Yutang was cutting the meat, Zhao Hanyan cut the itchy spine from the shaved lamb tenderloin into sections, added tempeh, cinnamon, cumin and more than a dozen spices and medicinal materials and simmered it together to make a clear soup with lamb scorpions.

After Wang Chao, Ma Han and others cleaned the amaranth, coriander, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, a few wild vegetables and wild mushrooms, they brought them over with a smile and asked Zhao Hanyan to check them, and they would leave only after passing the test.

Bai Yutang finished peeling the shrimp, and Zhao Hu and the others had already left.Bai Yutang then asked Zhao Hanyan if he needed help.

"No need, you can't help anywhere else, go rest with Zhao Hu and the others." Zhao Hanyan suggested.

"No fun with them."

Bai Yutang leaned against the window, watching Zhao Hanyan mash shrimp and fish, add various seasonings, and make balls one by one.She also fried tofu, cut bean skin and bamboo shoots, and prepared pig brains, lamb tripe and so on.Sour plum soup and mince wine are all ready together.

Seeing that Bai Yutang wanted to eat it, because he didn't want to swallow his saliva secretly, he went to fetch a cup of tea and pretended to take a sip.

After half an hour of tossing around, Zhao Hanyan finally got everything ready.Because of too much work, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead. Zhao Hanyan couldn't find the handkerchief for a while, and was about to wipe his forehead with his sleeve, when he saw a white handkerchief appearing in front of him, sweeping a burst of plum fragrance.You don't need to look at it to know that the handkerchief must be handed over by Bai Yutang, Zhao Hanyan took it with a smile and thanked him.

Bai Yutang sighed with a slight smile: "If the kitchen wasn't full of people, I would have helped you."

Normal people would think that Bai Yutang just wanted to help with the kitchen, and he wouldn't help if there were too many people. It sounded absolutely fine.Only Zhao Hanyan knew that Bai Yutang's words alluded to wiping her sweat himself.

The relationship between the two has just begun. Although Zhao Hanyan's thoughts are definitely not old-fashioned, he is not so "familiar with the road". After listening to Bai Yutang's words, his cheeks are unconsciously stained with Feixia.It was as red as an apple, and after seeing it, Bai Yutang had the urge to eat her again.

After Zhao Hanyan wiped his sweat, he saw that the white silk handkerchief was stained with oil, and then he remembered that he hadn't washed his hands with meatballs last night.Turning around, she saw a pot of steaming hot water standing beside the stove, before Zhao Hanyan could ask, Bai Yutang told her that she could wash her hands there.

Zhao Hanyan realized that Bai Yutang had prepared this again, bowed his head and gave a 'hmm', and went to wash his hands obediently.Because the handkerchief was wiped dirty by him just now, there is nothing to wipe it now, so Zhao Hanyan planned to clean it with a shake of his hand.

Bai Yutang handed over a white silk handkerchief again, and after Zhao Hanyan took it casually and wiped his hands, he realized something was wrong.The veil is still a bit long, it seems to be quite big, Zhao Hanyan looked curiously at the end of the long veil——

Zhao Hanyan let go immediately.

What she wiped her hands just now was not a handkerchief at all, but Bai Yutang's robe!First, it was obvious that the front of Bai Yutang's robe was wetted irregularly, which was caused by her wiping her hands just now.

Zhao Hanyan put his hand on his forehead in embarrassment, covered his face, and turned his eyes to look around. Fortunately, just now, Laiwang and Chuchunlai brothers were busy going to Sansi Hall to serve food, and had already left.Apart from the two of them in the kitchen, only Xiuzhu was still there.Xiuzhu was squatting in front of the wine jar, pouring wine into the small wine jar she was holding.I guess it was because I was afraid that the few jugs of wine that I made before would not be enough to drink, so I prepared more small wine jars.

Xiuzhu was turning her back to her and Bai Yutang at the moment, she didn't see anything, otherwise she would inevitably have a crush on her afterwards.

Zhao Hanyan turned his back to Bai Yutang, and raised his hand to fan his face to drive away the scorching heat that had just ignited on his face.

Bai Yutang suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to see Su Yuerong just now, and asked Zhao Hanyan where she had been running for the past two days.

"Ms. Xu at the other end of the prison's kitchen fell ill, and she was very kind when I asked her for help." Zhao Hanyan replied,

"Master Bao is back!"

Chun Qu shouted happily, asking Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang to hurry over, saying that there was good news.

When the two heard it, they guessed that there might be news from Qu Changle, so they hurried to ask, and it was true.

Bao Zheng heard that everyone had prepared a hot pot, and said with a smile: "After I enter the palace and report to the Holy Majesty, we will celebrate."

Everyone cheered.

Zhao Hanyan didn't see Qu Changle, and asked Bao Zheng if he wanted to take him into the palace.

Bao Zheng promised: "At this moment, people are waiting for me in the car outside. I will come and take the testimony of Miss Zhang and leave."

Zhao Hanyan agreed to wish Bao Zheng a smooth visit, and then she, Bai Yutang and others sent Bao Zheng outside the mansion.

The horse that Zhan Zhao was riding was waiting beside the carriage, and when someone said Master Bao had come out, Qu Changle in the carriage leaned out, got out of the carriage, and asked Bao Zheng to get on the carriage first.

This is the second time for Zhao Hanyan to see Qu Changle, and the first time was about the drug dispenser Xue. As a suspect, Qu Changle came to Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation, and his words were upright.Goodbye today, the young man of sixteen and seventeen, polite and polite, but because Xu wanted to report on his father, his expression was very cold and serious.I also understand that anyone who makes such a choice will feel heavy in his heart.

The carriage moved slowly, turned around, and then quickly rushed to the imperial city.

Zhao Hanyan looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, feeling a little absent-minded.

Zhao Hu and others sighed: "It's all good now, it's a certainty, we can finally relax for a few days."

Chao Chao and Zhang Long both smiled and responded, and the three of them happily walked in with their shoulders crossed. They were going to sleep for a while, and they probably woke up when they woke up.Master Bao will also come back from the palace and bring them good news, so everyone can eat delicious food together.

Just think about it and be happy, go to bed!

After the three of them walked for a certain distance, they realized that there were fewer people, and turned to call Ma Han.

"You guys go first, I'll be right back." After Ma Han agreed, he turned his eyes and continued to look at Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang.

Both of them stood there without moving. Ma Han felt that something was wrong, so he came over and asked if there was any problem with them.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan asked Ma Han, "How old is Qu Changle this year?"

"Sixteen." Ma Han recalled, and said to Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan asked him if he was sure.

Ma Han nodded, "Mr. Gongsun asked me to check his situation before, so I'm sure."

"Fourteen, fifteen and sixteen, do you think you can tell the difference?" Zhao Hanyan asked again.

"Some can, some can't, separate people." Bai Yutang said.

Ma Han nodded again and again, lamenting that some children grow up faster or mature, and there are sixteen, seventeen, and thirty.

"Conversely, there are also people who look young but are actually older." Bai Yutang added, "But such cases should be less than the former."

"Why?" Zhao Hanyan asked Bai Yutang with interest.

Bai Yutang: "There are few people who look young by nature, and they need to be carefully maintained. It is easy to grow old, just like those of us who practice martial arts. We have lived and slept in the open since we were young, and we are used to suffering. Many of us will look better than our peers People are more mature."

"That's the truth, but it's really twisted when you say it from Bai Shaoxia's mouth." Ma Han rubbed his chin and looked at Bai Yutang's extremely handsome face enviously, with a sour tone of emotion.

Bai Yutang blinked, "Then I should be in the minority."

Zhao Hanyan and Ma Han looked at Bai Yutang's face at the same time and nodded at the same time, they couldn't agree more.

"Brother Zhao, don't be with me." Ma Han found that Zhao Hanyan was joining in the fun with him, and hurriedly pushed her to Bai Yutang's side, "You are the same as Bai Shaoxia. You are good-looking and capable. We Incomparable."

"Well, I can't say I'm ugly." Zhao Hanyan smiled and told Ma Han to stop joking and go back to rest.

Ma Han promised that before he left, he would not forget to show his courtesy, and if there was anything to do, just call him.

Zhao Hanyan nodded, and praised Bai Yutang: "It's really clever."

"Nowhere near you."

Zhao Hanyan took a special look at him, "Is this also better?"

"There is always someone who is the best in your eyes, and you don't pay attention to others. Once you praise him, you will inevitably say that he is not as good as you. Be careful next time." Bai Yutang 'reviewed' said.

Zhao Hanyan was amused by Bai Yutang's words, and looked at him with a smile: "I didn't realize that Bai Shaoxia's love talk skills are so advanced, I don't know where I learned it, did I practice it before?"

"Is this a love story?" Bai Yutang asked back.

"Of course forget it." Anyway, there was no one around at the moment, so Zhao Hanyan winked at Bai Yutang presumptuously and mischievously, "It sounds good, I want to hear it again, can you say a few more words?"

"It's so beautiful, so cute." Bai Yutang gently hooked Zhao Hanyan's chin with his fingers, "If you keep making trouble, I'll let you know something more real than love."

Zhao Hanyan thought over Bai Yutang's words carefully, blushed suddenly, turned his back, and covered his face not to look at him.Tell Bai Yutang to leave quickly, so she won't be with Bai Yutang anymore.

"I don't know lovesickness in my life, because you just entered the lovesickness gate, and you have tasted the pain of lovesickness." Bai Yutang held Zhao Hanyan's hand and wanted to go together, "Is this sentence satisfactory?"

Zhao Hanyan's face was already blushing, she glanced at Bai Yutang, and nodded with a shy smile, pursing the corners of her mouth.I won't make such jokes in the future. Although the love words are nice, her face is also very hot. After going through it a few times, maybe her face will be cooked.

"We meet every day, it's not lovesickness. When it's said that lovesickness is bitter, that's when we parted." Zhao Hanyan explained.

"Don't separate, how can we live apart?" Bai Yutang asked back.

Zhao Hanyan really couldn't answer the question of how to live when asked by a man with a strong body and high martial arts skills.He held his hand even tighter, as if he wanted to stick to her like this forever.Zhao Hanyan didn't feel much before, but now she feels really happy to be needed and depended on.

Although the two officially got along with each other for only one day, Zhao Hanyan suddenly had the illusion that he had been with Bai Yutang for many years, and so did she!She didn't want to be separated from Bai Yutang.

Zhao Hanyan grabbed Bai Yutang's hand instead, and happily suggested, "Why don't we elope?"

Bai Yutang had just calmed down, his eyes lit up again when he heard Zhao Hanyan's words, and he stared at Zhao Hanyan burningly. "What did you say?"

"Private...?" Zhao Hanyan noticed that Bai Yutang's eyes had become a little stern, and what was originally a certainty turned into a question.

"Then let's go, let's go now." Bai Yutang pulled Zhao Hanyan and walked quickly to their residence.

"Now? But the case is not over yet, we haven't eaten hot pot yet, and—"

Bai Yutang looked around, and suddenly pulled Zhao Hanyan to a secluded corner, made her lean against the wall, bowed her head and kissed deeply.Bai Yutang's kissing skills progressed rapidly, from being a little clumsy the first time, to becoming smoother the second time, and now this is the third time, which can be called an attack on a city.Zhao Hanyan was completely powerless to resist, the only part of her body that still had a little strength was probably her hand that was holding the skirt of Bai Yutang's chest.

Bai Yutang put his left hand on his waist, so that Zhao Hanyan's petite body was almost completely attached to him.The hot and firm chest constantly conveyed the heat that made Zhao Hanyan lose his mind.The lips and tongue were flexible and extremely domineering, almost taking all her breath away.

Not breathing, irrational, and out of control, Zhao Hanyan felt that he was on the verge of madness.But it was very exciting, and I didn't dare to continue, but found that I seemed to be addicted to this feeling again.It turns out that this is the best explanation of "Welcome if you want to refuse".

Zhao Hanyan's slender fingers slipped from Bai Yutang's chest, and then wrapped around his waist.

Bai Yutang's breathing was stagnant, so he moved his lips away from Zhao Hanyan's, and his foreheads touched, the tip of his nose was only a few feet away.

"What did you just say?" Bai Yutang said with a hoarse voice, and the arm hooking Zhao Hanyan's waist became more powerful, as if he couldn't swallow Zhao Hanyan completely into his body.

"Don't seduce me." Bai Yutang immediately let go, arched his body slightly, and touched Zhao Hanyan's cheek to cheek, rubbing their ears together. "You're so delicious, I can't resist what to do."

"Then we really eloped?" Zhao Hanyan asked tentatively.

"Silly girl, where is all the cleverness in the past? How can you be so casual with a man. You are a princess, and you are an ordinary woman. You have to take it step by step when talking about marriage. Even this man who refuses to do it for you I don’t deserve to marry a beauty like you.” Bai Yutang smiled lightly, took Zhao Hanyan’s white and tender smiling face with both hands, stroked it back and forth, and sighed that she was stupid.

Zhao Hanyan lowered his eyebrows and continued to blush, "It's not that I've been stupid all the time, it's just like this to you."

Hearing her words, Bai Yutang's heart was even more shaken, and he held Zhao Hanyan's hand tightly, without saying a word, but vowed in his heart several times.How could Bai Yutang live up to such a woman.She is obviously a noble princess, but she is so stupid that she wants to elope with him.

Bai Yutang patted Zhao Hanyan's forehead lightly to comfort her to calm down.In fact, he doesn't want to calm down, but practical issues must always be considered.

"The present forbearance is for a better long-term future. I will not let you follow me without a name." Bai Yutang smiled, feeling Zhao Hanyan's hand holding him tightly, and felt an inexplicable force erupted from his body.

Zhao Hanyan stood on tiptoe, put his hands on Bai Yutang's shoulder and kissed him gently on the cheek.

"Then I'll wait for you." The voice was glutinous, a hundred times sweeter than the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she made, almost sweetening people.

Bai Yutang smiled and agreed, squeezed Zhao Hanyan's hand even tighter, and sent her back to her room.

The two of them walked this way, separated when they met people, and leaned together when they didn't meet, which can be described as crazy.Thanks to Bai Yutang's keen ears of warriors, the two of them didn't reveal their secrets.

When they arrived at the door of Zhao Hanyan's house, Zhao Hanyan and Bai Yutang summed it up, saying that it can't be like this next time, it's too dangerous.

"Okay." Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan with burning eyes, and wanted to watch her enter the house before leaving by himself.

Zhao Hanyan stood still and looked at Bai Yutang, reluctant to leave.His fingers touched Bai Yutang's hand dishonestly, wanting to hold hands.

As soon as I said I wanted to change it, I couldn't hold back the next moment.Zhao Hanyan didn't want to be ashamed anymore, she pulled Bai Yutang's hand, and reluctantly said goodbye.

"Come in." Bai Yutang also responded with the same reluctant tone.

Obviously the two of them live together in Kaifeng Mansion, and the distance between their residences is only a dozen feet away.

Finally parted.After Zhao Hanyan entered the room and closed the door, he turned around and peeked through the window to see the back of Bai Yutang leaving.

One step at a time and three steps back, well, she is very satisfied.

Xiuzhu came out from the inner room slowly, and saw her princess was still peeping out through the window, she pretended to cough, but she didn't respond, she pretended to cough again.

"Master!" Xiuzhu shouted.

"Ah?" Zhao Hanyan turned her head, patted her chest, looked at Xiuzhu in shock, and blamed her for scaring herself.

Xiuzhu took a deep breath, feeling that she didn't need to explain to the Princess right now, and only asked about her and Bai Yutang.

"The servant girl can tell that the young master has moved his true feelings. The young master is stubborn, and the maid will definitely not be able to stop him. Besides, for someone like Bai Shaoxia, it is no wonder that the young master ran away with him." Xiuzhu said sourly.

"See it?" Zhao Hanyan asked tentatively.

Xiuzhu: "The servant girl has been with the young master for so many years, and the young master can laugh foolishly after drinking tea. If the servant girl can't see it, then the maidservant has greatly neglected her duty."

Zhao Hanyan nodded, summed up the lesson from Xiuzhu's words, and secretly reminded herself to try to restrain herself in front of others in the future.

Xiuzhu asked Zhao Hanyan what his plans were.

"Marry."

"Can young hero Bai be the son-in-law?" Xiuzhu asked.

"I'm a princess, why am I still a son-in-law? There are not a few princesses in the Song Dynasty, and they all want to marry."

"But the servant girl has heard from Eunuch Guo before that the empress dowager wants to be named a princess when the son proposes marriage in the future."

Zhao Hanyan put down the teacup in his hand heavily, "Princess can't, there are too many restraints."

"The queen mother is not easy to persuade." Xiuzhu reminded, "Actually, it doesn't matter. What matters is how Bai Shaoxia can get the consent of the queen mother and the emperor to marry the princess."

"There will be a way. I've become a cook." Zhao Hanyan doesn't mind this, there will always be a way, if it doesn't work, she still has a way to break the boat, but it will bring her emperor's cousin into trouble.

Xiuzhu looked coldly at her princess where she was enjoying herself for a long time, but couldn't bear it anymore, she went to Zhao Hanyan's side and asked her in a low voice.

"I know that Young Master Bai has a good reputation in Jianghu, but a chivalrous man who is a hero may not be suitable to be a husband. How do you know that he is not on a whim? Besides, how difficult things will be in the future, even if he expected it, he never actually encountered it. When he really walked step by step, he couldn't bear it?

Turn around and change your mind, turn your head and leave, what should you do, young master?He is from the rivers and lakes, with profound kung fu, he comes and goes without a trace, even if someone is sent to look for him in the name of the imperial court, he may not be able to find him.There are not a few men who change their minds. When they care, they really care. Whatever they say is nice. When they are cold, nine cows can't be pulled back. "

Since Xiuzhu found out that the two of them were abnormal in the kitchen, she had done a lot of thinking in the room alone, and also made a conclusion. She must comfort her princess to calm down!
