Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Xiuzhu heard the promise from inside, opened the door and entered, but saw no one in the hall.Looking around, she heard footsteps coming from the inner room, Xiuzhu hurriedly stood upright, her heart raised her throat, but she waited for a while, but it felt like a long time, and finally Bai Yutang appeared.

As usual, Bai Yutang looked at Xiuzhu expressionlessly, and then his gaze fell on a plate of lamb chops in her hand. His expression relaxed a little, and then he put down the knife he was carrying with him, and reached out his hand to gesture to Xiuzhu.

Xiuzhu smiled nervously, sat down quickly, and put the lamb chops on the table.

Bai Yutang just stretched out his hand to signal that Xiuzhu would put down the mutton chops and leave, but he didn't expect the person to sit down instead. He gave Xiuzhu a strange look, and then said, "Help me, thank you, young master."

Xiuzhu smiled and agreed, and hurriedly introduced: "After my son fried the lamb chops, he simmered them in a special soup. The taste is very good. Young Xia Bai should try it while it's hot."

After Xiuzhu finished speaking, she waited for a while, and saw that Bai Yutang didn't move or speak, but the look in her eyes made her feel as if her whole body was being stabbed by a knife.Even though the other party had a handsome face, at this moment Xiuzhu felt that she was so scared that she was going to lose her courage.

Xiuzhu immediately stood up in embarrassment, hurriedly saluted and said goodbye to Bai Yutang, her face blushed unconsciously, but it was not because of shyness, but embarrassment.

"Thank you for your hard work." Seeing that Xiuzhu was finally leaving, Bai Yutang said goodbye again.

Xiuzhu nodded in panic, as if she had been discovered for doing something bad, she shrank her neck and fled in a hurry.When she closed the door and turned her head to go down the stone steps, she almost fell, staggered and ran for a long distance, picked a place where there was no one, and leaned against the wall to gasp for air.

Xiuzhu calmed down for a moment, raised her head and slapped herself.Calling himself a stinky toad, he really had the idea of ​​wanting to eat swan meat for a moment.

"Is that goose meat all you can eat, and you're not afraid of choking to death!"

A good person is good, like a fairy, but you can only look up and never think about it.

Xiuzhu rolled her eyes and thought about it, thinking about Bai Yutang's reaction just now, it was nothing like what her princess said just now.At the beginning Zhao Hu was interested in her, and indeed he used the excuse of being clingy to his princess at the beginning, but every time he saw her, he still had a warm attitude, greeted her with a smile, and offered hospitality in every possible way.But just now, Bai Yutang treated her so coldly that she almost felt like she had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cellar, and it was absolutely impossible for her to be interested in her.

The Princess has done her a disservice this time, and almost made her lose her adulthood.Fortunately, she is still quite clever, just in time to observe the situation, and did not say anything more embarrassing, otherwise she really would not be able to live.

Xiuzhu puffed up her cheeks, regretted for a while, patted her face, shook her head, finally calmed down completely, and then went back to the kitchen.

After Zhao Hanyan finished the rest of the lamb chops, the chicken she asked Su Yuerong to cook was almost ready. She made boiled chicken and saliva chicken, and then a plate of steamed sea bass, and steamed it with green beans, ham, and fungus. The rice came out.At this time, it was almost time for dinner, and Zhao Hanyan put four plates of green vegetables fried by Su Yuerong on the wooden tray, and sent Chunlai and Chunqu brothers to serve the dishes quickly.There is still half a pot of unsalted chicken soup left, scoop it out and put it into the casserole, add square white tofu cubes, steamed yam and wolfberry, overheat it, adjust the saltiness, and prepare two bowls for yourself Put chopped green onion and coriander, and then send it up.

Zhao Hanyan originally planned to give Bai Yutang a piece of lamb chops that had been cooked earlier to taste, to see if there was anything that could be improved, but as a result, all the dishes on the small dining table were served, and Xiuzhu came back slowly.

"Why did you come back so late? No one is here? Did you eat it?" Zhao Hanyan worried that if the lamb chops were not eaten fresh, the skin would be softened by the soup, and it would not be as crispy as the fresh ones, which would greatly affect the taste.

Xiuzhu raised her eyes aggrievedly, her eyes were round, and she looked at Zhao Hanyan with her mouth pursed.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Bai Yutang bullied you?"

It happened that there was no one in the kitchen at the moment, Zhao Hanyan saw Xiuzhu like this, and made up the picture of Xiuzhu having love on the wall of Bai Yutang.For a while, her spirit of gossip popped up again, and she asked Xiuzhu with special interest, asking her to tell her quickly.

"How do you bully, tell me well."

Seeing her princess asking herself with a smile on her face, Xiuzhu knew that she must be thinking wrong, she blushed, stomped her feet angrily, and said, "Sir, don't make fun of me anymore, I almost lost you. It's not what you want at all." As said!"

"No?" Zhao Hanyan was stunned for a while, and thought for a while, "It shouldn't be, have you misunderstood something, tell me the story quickly."

Xiuzhu covered her face, "What are you talking about? You can't say more than three sentences. It's so embarrassing that you don't want to talk about it. After all, the young master misunderstood, definitely misunderstood. He looked at my attitude, and he just wanted to use his cold expression the next moment. Stab me with a quick knife!"

"Don't look at him as a cold man, but he is warm inside. If he doesn't have justice in his heart, he will be appreciated by Mr. Bao. When he is good for you, he may not say it with his mouth." Zhao Hanyan praised .

Xiuzhu parted her fingers in amazement, and looked at Zhao Hanyan through the gaps between her fingers: "Your servant didn't see it, but why did you see it so clearly? Why is it that everyone in Kaifeng Mansion is afraid of him, but you don't think he's scary?"

Zhao Hanyan was stunned for a moment, and asked Xiuzhu in confusion, "Really?"

Xiuzhu nodded her head heavily, and told Zhao Hanyan that this was the case

"Fortunately, I cook delicious food, and he is greedy. Otherwise, I would be afraid of him like everyone else." Zhao Hanyan laughed, and at this moment, seeing Su Yuerong finishing work outside, he called her to eat.

Su Yuerong happily agreed, and quickly took a rag to wipe the table.

Su Yuerong's heartfelt voice: Eat lamb chops, eat lamb chops... When I just made it, I swallowed quietly several times, and now I can finally eat it.

Zhao Hanyan smiled and put the last mutton chops from the small kitchen into the pot, asked Su Yuerong to wait for a while, and then asked Xiuzhu to go to the jar to get some pickled radishes.

Xiuzhu agreed, and the words of reminder that just came to her lips could not be uttered now.But she was a little worried, could it be that Bai Yutang had already discovered the identity of the daughter of her princess?But thinking about it carefully, Bai Yutang treats her princess differently from the very beginning, it seems that because of his love of food, he treats her princess as a special brother.

Xiuzhu originally planned to talk about this matter with her princess after dinner.But when she picked up the chopsticks and put the hot lamb chops with glistening soup on the surface into her mouth, she was immersed in the crispy, tender and unbelievably tender lamb chops, and all the thoughts in her mind were driven away Xiuzhu disappeared without a trace until she finally finished eating and washed the dishes happily. Xiuzhu didn't think about the past.

In autumn, the river crabs are fat. Chunlai went out for a stroll after dinner, and just saw an old man deal with the last cage of river crabs at a low price, so he bought them back.

Zhao Hanyan saw that the crabs were plump and yellow, so he immediately had an idea.Anyway, I have no clue about the case, so I will make another snack.Separate the crab roe and crab meat, stir-fry in a pan to make crab powder, then use lard and noodles to make pastry, then use sugar, water and noodles to make water-oil skins, squeeze out the two kinds of skins, and put Put down the water-oil skin, put the pastry on top, stack the two doses together, roll out the skin, wrap it with crab powder, and simply roll it into a round shape, which is similar to the egg yolk pastry. It can be baked in the oven.

After the crab cakes were put into the oven, Zhao Hanyan thought of something, and discussed with Chunlai to see if he knew any carpenters who could help him carve some pasta molds out of wood, so that she could have more variety in making dim sum or pasta in the future.

"How can I do it?" Chunlai asked incomprehensibly.

"I'll draw it later and explain it to you in detail." After Zhao Hanyan finished speaking, seeing Bai Yutang coming, he greeted him with a smile and asked him how his dinner was.

"The green vegetables are not cooked enough, didn't you do it?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhao Hanyan glanced at Su Yuerong who was still busy in the kitchen, made a 'shh' gesture, and signaled Bai Yutang to keep his voice down.

Bai Yutang immediately understood that the dish must have been made by Su Yuerong, and immediately changed his words: "If she can eat it, it's good."

"Why do I call it 'it's good to eat'? I'm a good cook, and my father used to praise me every day for the delicious food!"

"So it's your father." Bai Yutang said.

Su Yuerong endured it, couldn't take it anymore, dropped the rag in her hand, pinched her waist, and looked at Bai Yutang very displeased.

"Can you say that again!"

"Is your ear bad? Or is your brain not good enough to understand?" Bai Yutang asked Su Yuerong back.

"You—" Su Yuerong stomped her feet angrily, and rushed to Bai Yutang in a few steps, "I want to tell my father, you bullied me!"

"Go quickly." Bai Yutang chased her away.

Su Yuerong was even angrier, she yelled twice, she took a deep breath, and comforted herself not to care about the petty Bai Yutang.

"He deliberately spoke to anger you just to motivate you to go home," Su Yuerong comforted herself, "so the food you cook is delicious."

"You think too highly of yourself. What do you have to do with me here? Even if your father cried to death for your daughter, I wouldn't feel sorry for him. Who told him to be worthless and teach you such a bastard Come." Bai Yutang had been looking at Su Yuerong with half-opened eyes before, but now listening to her talking to herself, Fangzheng looked at her, and the words in his mouth were even more poisonous.

"You—you—" If people's anger could kill, Su Yuerong's anger at this moment is enough to blow up ten Bai Yutangs.

Su Yuerong grabbed Zhao Hanyan's arm angrily, tears welled up in her eyes pitifully.

"Brother Zhao, he bullied me! You have to decide for me."

"Let go, don't be shameless!" Bai Yutang stared at Su Yuerong's hand tightly grasping Zhao Hanyan's arm, and scolded her.

Su Yuerong glared at him: "No! You're mad at me!"

At first, Zhao Hanyan didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Yuerong's grabbing him, but when he heard Bai Yutang's reminder, he strongly realized that he was a man, so he took a few steps back to dodge, politely dodging Su Yuerong's pull.

"Brother Bai is right. We are different between men and women. It is better to pay attention to it." Zhao Hanyan was afraid that Su Yuerong would be upset, so he spoke in a very soft tone.

Su Yuerong pouted, "What are you afraid of, I will follow you in the future!"

Zhao Hanyan's eyes widened in surprise, before he could react, Xiuzhu who was washing the dishes ran over.

Su Yuerong noticed that Xiuzhu was staring at herself, and smiled, "I will not take your place later, even if I am old, I can still call you sister Xiuzhu in the future."

After Zhao Hanyan heard this, he became even more petrified.

Xiuzhu opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. She couldn't tell Su Yuerong that her son was a woman, but she immediately corrected another misunderstanding.

"My lord and I are not what you think... We are not... In short, we are innocent, don't make false accusations without evidence!" Xiuzhu said angrily.

"Sorry, I think you misunderstood me just now when you looked at me like that. This is better!" Su Yuerong looked at Zhao Hanyan happily, "Then I am the only one who likes Big Brother Zhao."

"What's your name, Big Brother Zhao? Aren't you older than my young master?" Xiuzhu was puzzled.

"Yeah, but it's more kind to call you big brother. I can't call you little brother, it sounds like a real sibling." Su Yuerong raised her eyebrows and said to Zhao Hanyan with a smile, "Anyway, everyone here I'm not an outsider, so let me tell the truth to Brother Zhao. In fact, I've liked you since the first time I met you. I'm a person who can't hold back my thoughts. I've been holding back for so many days. It's so uncomfortable. Now I finally It's too soon to spit it out.

Anyway, I don't think Big Brother Zhao hates me, he usually takes good care of me, so Big Brother Zhao probably won't dislike me.I don't care if I am big or small, and it doesn't matter if I have a name or not. As long as I can follow Brother Zhao in the future, I will be willing. "

"You're crazy!" Bai Yutang's eyes were full of anger.Su Yuerong's casual character can be seen from the fact that she gave birth to a child. Bai Yutang thought that she had learned a lesson and would have a long memory, but he didn't expect that she would be a complete asshole as he said, and she could say that she is big and small. It doesn't matter if you have a title or not.How can you be so contemptuous of yourself.

Brother Chun Lai Chun Qu's voice came from outside the kitchen, Bai Yutang grabbed the knife in his hand, walked to the door, and ordered the two of them to go back to their room and not to enter the kitchen at this moment.

Chunlai and Chunqu were taken aback, and seeing Bai Yutang's gloomy expression, as if the sky was falling, they looked at each other, nodded obediently, and quickly retreated.But after they left, the two were worried, and turned around and entered quietly from the back of the kitchen, not for anything else, just afraid of any accidents, they could protect the little chef under the order of the Holy Majesty.They don't care about other things, they only keep the little cook safe.

After Su Yuerong finished speaking, before waiting for Zhao Hanyan's response for a long time, she asked Zhao Hanyan what he thought and whether he was willing or not.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Hanyan said in a serious tone: "When you really like me one day, not because I treat you a little bit, and you think I can rely on you for the rest of your life, then tell me this sentence."

"I really like it? I really like it now." Su Yuerong refused.

"If you really like it, you won't say what you said just now so easily, and you won't blush or feel uneasy after you finish speaking. When you urge me to respond, you won't be like a guest in a restaurant. Why hasn't the waiter in the shop ordered a dish?" Zhao Hanyan explained.

"I——" Su Yuerong thought that what she just said was really very happy. Now that she finished speaking, she just wanted to know the answer. She didn't seem to worry about gains and losses. There is a good person you can rely on for half your life.

"I don't like it, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you." Su Yuerong whispered unwillingly.

"True liking, there are four emotions. The first is curiosity and urgency. You will be very curious about everything about him and can't wait to know everything about him. How much do you know about me? During the days you and I have been together , you didn't even ask me about my background and who else was in my family.

The second possession, you will really want to completely own the other person, and absolutely don't want to share him with others. Simply put, it means being loyal to you.But you just casually said what you meant to share me with Xiuzhu, and you didn't care about your status or status.The third is... ahem, needless to say later, you don't meet the first two points, and the latter is even more impossible. "Zhao Hanyan is not thoughtful enough, the third point is that the facts about that aspect are not suitable for public speaking.

To put it bluntly, the most poignant curiosity.

Although Su Yuerong now clearly understands that she does not seem to meet the first two points that Zhao Hanyan said, she still wants to know the last two points, and hastily asked, but she did not expect that Bai Yutang, who has always been a nosy and gossip She speaks first.

"What are the last two points?" Bai Yutang stared at Zhao Hanyan.

"Ah—the crab cake is ready! Smell it, it smells so good. I blame you, little girl, for joking with me. Did I drink too much wine and get confused? My crab cake was almost mushy." Zhao Hanyan said Take the crab cakes out of the oven.

"Ah, yes, I drank a little too much just now, and I like to talk nonsense when I'm drunk." Su Yuerong reacted, and quickly supported her forehead and said, "I have a headache and dizziness, I'll go back and rest first."

Su Yuerong forced herself to swallow her saliva, endured the desire to eat crab cakes, and ran out in a hurry. Before leaving the door, when she passed by Bai Yutang, she made a special look at her, implying that the follow-up troubles are pleading He helps out.

Bai Yutang glared back at her, naturally he disliked her for causing him trouble.

After the sound of Su Yuerong's leaving footsteps disappeared, Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.Because Bai Yutang was still there, she didn't want to talk much, so she silently helped her princess put the second batch of crab cakes into the oven, and lighted the fire by the way.

"I trouble you two to keep this matter secret, she has no brains, forgive me." Bai Yutang said reluctantly, but Su Yuerong was his friend's daughter after all, and he couldn't completely let it go.

"A lot of people talk nonsense after drinking, it can't be taken seriously. Since it's a joke, there's no need to spread it." Zhao Hanyan sighed that he had almost forgotten about it.

Bai Yutang glanced at Zhao Hanyan thankfully.

Zhao Hanyan brought the plate of crab cakes to Bai Yutang and asked him to taste it.

Bai Yutang picked up a piece, looked at Zhao Hanyan hesitantly, and then slowly put the crab cakes into his mouth.The crisp sound is very pleasant, and it sounds like this snack is not bad.But Bai Yutang ate very quietly, looking away, he didn't praise the deliciousness of the crab cakes, and he didn't say it was bad, and he couldn't hear his heart.

Zhao Hanyan waited for a long time, watching him eat half of the plate one bite at a time, but he couldn't hear any praise, so he couldn't help it.

"Is it bad?"

"It's delicious." Bai Yutang came back to his senses, realized something, and smiled apologetically at Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan still didn't hear his heart, and asked Bai Yutang very curiously: "Do you have something on your mind?"
