Chapter 196 The Taste of Aning

The attendant looked at Jiang Youning up and down, he didn't know if he was old or not, his face was fair, and he was wearing silk and satin, how could he look like someone doing rough work?Waved impatiently.

"The princess mansion recruits a cook, not Miss Qianjin, let's go and play."

Jiang Youning looked down at his clothes, he really didn't look like someone who came out to look for a job.

"I can cook big summer meals."

"Me too, I cook delicious food."

Jiang Youning raised his head, and saw two young people applying for the job, a man and a woman, in their thirties.

Both of them were wearing coarse cloth jackets, and they looked like people who were running around for a living.

Unlike her, she doesn't seem to be making a living at all.

Jiang Youning turned around and took Yuan Bao and left, "Go and buy a set of coarse cloth jackets."

Yuan Bao knew what Jiang Youning was thinking when he saw Jiang Youning's actions just now, so he applied for a job as a cook.

Jiang Youning's cooking skills are very good, and she can't compare with her in the whole summer.

"Why buy a coarse cloth jacket? It's not warm at all."

Jiang Youning sighed helplessly, "I dress so richly, where do I look like a chef?"

Yuan Bao looked Jiang Youning up and down when he heard the words, and at a glance, he knew that he was from a wealthy family, and he really didn't look like he was going to be a cook.

Buying clothes is the easiest, as long as you have money.

Yuan Bao bought an old jacket as quickly as possible.

I saw it in someone's yard, and he bought it for a tael of silver just after washing.

Buy an old dress for a tael of silver, and anyone who is not stupid will sell it.

Jiang Youning came out after changing clothes, and turned around in front of Yuan Bao, "How is it? Does it look like a cook?"

Yuan Bao looked up and down Jiang Youning's clothes, the gray coarse cloth jacket, and felt that it changed immediately, a bit like a village girl.

He looked at Jiang Youning's temples, on which there were Zhen hairpins, white jade hairpins and so on.

"Take off all the gold and silver jewelry."

With a word to wake up the dreamer, Jiang Youning immediately thought of the gold and silver jewelry she was wearing, and she took them off one by one and put them in her backpack.

After thinking about it, he took out the scarf and put it on his head.

After finishing all this, he looked at Yuan Bao again, "How is it? Does it look like this?"

Yuan Bao took a few more glances at Jiang Youning, then nodded in satisfaction, "That's fine, even though she's wearing coarse clothes, Miss still looks good."

Jiang Youning laughed out loud, "Okay, let's go."

Yuan Bao nodded, and followed Jiang Youning out of the alley.

"Miss, the princess is not a good stubble, so be careful."

Jiang Youning said: "Don't worry, I'm sure if the police assistant is inside. If not, I'll find a reason to come out. If it is, it would be even better. I'll go with him."

Yuan Bao asked worriedly again: "Miss, what's the matter, I will talk to you in the evening. If you are not familiar with the place, it is easy to suffer."

Jiang Youning smiled and said: "Okay, I'm not a child, don't worry, a hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses, I understand."

Only then did Yuan Bao feel a little relieved.

"I'm leaving." After Jiang Youning finished speaking, he walked through the crowd and came to the attendant again.

"Brother, I know all the dishes of Daxia. I have eaten the food I cooked and praised it as delicious. Can you see me? If you are not satisfied, you will be refunded."

The attendant looked Jiang Youning up and down, then nodded and let her in.

"go in."

"Thank you, brother." Jiang Youning walked up the steps happily.

Someone was already standing at the door waiting, "Come with me."

Jiang Youning hummed and walked in. '

Behind the crowd, Yuan Bao watched Jiang Youning walk in with the butler, still worried.

Just no matter how worried, Jiang Youning will still choose to go in to find out.

Inside the Princess Mansion, at a glance, there are pavilions, towers and pavilions, surrounded by rockery, and one can tell that a lot of money was spent to build it.

Jiang Youning unhurriedly followed the butler through the moon cave door and came to the kitchen.

At the door of the kitchen, stood a woman about 40 years old, who seemed to be in charge.

The housekeeper said: "Miss Wang, she was just recruited, you take her in to try the dishes."

"No problem." Mrs. Wang looked Jiang Youning up and down, saw that it was a little girl, and said, "Come in with me."

Jiang Youning said: "Okay, Mrs. Wang."

After entering, Mrs. Wang said: "Let me tell you first, the princess is very demanding. If you don't try the dishes, you will have no chance. Do you understand?"

Jiang Youning replied: "Miss Wang, I understand."

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction, "Then let's try the dishes."

Jiang Youning came to the stove and looked at a pile of ingredients. The ingredients were all fresh, and the leaves were green with drops of water.

Jiang Youning chose meat, and she planned to make braised pork.

Cooking is what she is best at, and the method of braised pork is also simple.

She cleaned the meat first, then picked up a kitchen knife and cut it into pieces.

Mrs. Wang was watching from the side, seeing that her knife skills were sharp and crisp, and she could cook at a glance.

Not long after, the fragrance wafted out.

As soon as Mrs. Wang smelled the aroma, she felt that the meat was cooked well.

Jiang Youning smelled the smell of braised pork and became a little greedy. She lifted the lid, held the white porcelain plate in one hand, and a shovel in the other, and filled the pot with the meat neatly.

If you look at the braised pork with a full color and fragrance, if it is not for Mrs. Wang Niu, you will have to pick up a piece and taste it.

Jiang Youning came to Wang Niang with the braised pork, and said confidently: "Miss Wang, my braised pork is ready."

Lady Wang looked at the delicious braised pork and gave it full marks in her heart. She took the white porcelain plate in Jiang Youning's hand and said, "I'll bring it over as soon as I finish it. Whether you can keep it or not depends on whether you can make the distinguished guests like it."

Jiang Youning said: "Miss Wang, I understand, I am waiting for your news here."

"Just wait." Mrs. Wang put the braised pork into the food box, and then walked to Yunxuan Courtyard with the food box.

In the Yunxuan courtyard, the princess looked at the food that she had only tasted, and hired three cooks, none of whom could match his appetite.

"Remove all of these, and then go to recruit the cook."

"I'm going now, servant girl." The maid stepped back with the food in hand.

Seeing that everyone had left, the princess walked in from the outer room, looked at the man on the bed, her face was extremely pale.

The man woke up in the morning, he was seriously injured, he hadn't eaten for a long time, and his body was very weak.

He is not used to the food here.

"Are you feeling better?"

Xie Jing looked at the princess, and said after waking up, he still hasn't figured out what's going on, why is he here?
Moreover, he doesn't know anyone here.

Hearing his accent, he knew he wasn't from Daxia.

"Headache."

The princess said: "You have been in a coma for a long time. It is normal to have a headache. You will get better if you rest more. Don't worry."

Xie Jing asked again: "Where is this place?"

The princess knew that he would ask, and she didn't hide it, "This is Chenyi Kingdom, the Princess Mansion, you don't have to worry, you can recuperate here with peace of mind."

How could Xie Jing feel at ease?
Why he is here is not clear.

Xue suspects why they are not here?

While they were there, Mrs. Wang came in with a food box and said with a smile, "Princess, this is the braised pork made by the newly recruited cook. It looks good."

Mrs. Wang said, and opened the food box to show the princess. The food box was opened, and the aroma overflowed. After a while, the room was filled with the smell of braised pork.

The princess heard the words and said coldly: "He's injured so badly, he wants to eat something light, how can he eat braised pork? Take it out quickly."

At this time, a weak voice came from the two, "Wait, I want to eat meat."

When the princess heard that he wanted to eat, she immediately ordered: "Bring out all the food."

"It's the princess." Mrs. Wang got the order and brought rice and braised pork to the table.

The princess picked up the rice, picked up a few pieces of braised pork with chopsticks and put them on the rice. She smelled the aroma of the braised pork, it was really delicious.

After the food was finished, she brought the bowl to the bed, "Taste it first."

Xie Jing sat on the head of the bed, with three soft pillows behind her, her body hurt a lot, but she could bear it.

He took the bowl, looked at the braised pork in the bowl, and smelled the aroma, which was very similar to the braised pork made by Ah Ning.

Thinking that she was still waiting for him to go back in Jinling, he had to take care of himself.

He picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to eat.

After eating one piece, he found something wrong, so he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. The more he ate it, the more he felt that it tasted like it was made by Ah Ning.

Braised pork with rice, he ate three bowls of rice.

Seeing Xie Jing eat three bowls of rice, the princess couldn't help laughing, if she continued to eat like this, her body would recover soon.

"Are you still eating?"

Xie Jing's appetite has always been very large, but he just woke up not long ago, eating too much will make his stomach feel uncomfortable.

"Don't eat."

The princess didn't force it either, "Then we'll have dinner later, do you want to sleep for a while?"

Xie Jing also thought this way, now that she is injured and can't do anything, it's better to rest and recuperate.

"Ah."

The princess helped him to lie down, tucked him in the quilt, and walked out from inside.

Mrs. Wang waited outside, and when she saw the princess coming out, she waited for orders.

The princess said: "The cook's cooking is good this time, let her stay and let her prepare a few more dishes for dinner."

Mrs. Wang replied with a smile: "Your servant understands, and your servant will go and give instructions."

Mrs. Wang happily walked out of Yunxuan Courtyard carrying the food box.

Jiang Youning paced back and forth at the door of the kitchen, looking at the arch bridge from time to time, seeing Mrs. Wang coming back, she greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Wang, how is it? Do the guests like the braised pork I made?"

Mrs. Wang said cheerfully: "I have eaten three bowls of rice in a row. Do you like it? The princess asked you to stay, so you can work here with peace of mind."

Jiang Youning said happily after hearing the words: "That's great, thank you, Mrs. Wang."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Okay, you should prepare dinner well, and don't let the guests down."

Jiang Youning said: "Miss Wang, don't worry, I will do my best."

Lady Wang looked at the clever girl in front of her and said, "You are only responsible for cooking for the guests, and you don't care about the rest, you know?"

Jiang Youning was exactly what he wanted, and it was much easier to cook for only one person.

"I see, Mrs. Wang."

Mrs. Wang said: "Okay, let's go."

Jiang Youning responded and went to work.

She chooses a few fresh ingredients, stews a soup for dinner, and three dishes are enough.

She took the dish and started to wash it.

I didn't notice it when washing the meat just now, so I can rest assured that the water is really cold and my hands are frozen.

No way, no matter how cold it is, I have to wash it.

How can the cook's hands not touch the spring water?
For dinner, after the four dishes and one soup were ready, it was still delivered by Mrs. Wang.

Jiang Youning seemed to follow him to have a look, but he was afraid of arousing suspicion.

Forget it, wait for the opportunity to get acquainted, anyway, they are all in, so I am not afraid that there will be no chance.

Yunxuan Courtyard
Xie Jing rested for an afternoon, and now she has recovered a lot. Although her face is still not good-looking, it is much better than when she just woke up.

The princess ordered people to put the low table on the bed so that Xie Jing could pick up vegetables for dinner.

"I've asked someone to make more for dinner. You can try them all and ask them to make them again tomorrow, which ones you like."

Xie Jing became hungry when he smelled the smell of the food. The smell was very familiar. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. It tasted a bit spicy, which was familiar to him.

He picked up a few other dishes and tasted them, and found that the tastes of these dishes were very familiar. If it wasn't for Jinling, he would have suspected that the dishes were made by Aning.

For dinner, he ate four bowls of rice, and he was seven to eighty percent full. He was injured and should not eat too full.

The princess was very happy to see that Xie Jing ate four bowls of rice, "Sure enough, the food tastes good. You also eat a lot."

After wiping the corners of her mouth, Xie Jing raised her head to look at the princess, her voice was a little puzzled, "It doesn't look like the cooks here cook this food."

The princess smiled and said: "You can't hide anything from you. It's true that it wasn't made by the cook here. It was a cook hired by the Palace outside. A cook who can cook summer meals. Otherwise, how can you eat meals that suit your taste?"

A flash of surprise and doubt flashed in Xie Jing's eyes when she heard the words. She was surprised that she would go outside to find a cook. The doubt is that even if she is proficient in dishes from all over Daxia, she may not necessarily be able to cook the taste of Aning.

It also made him wonder where this cook is from, and how he could make the same taste as Aning.

Seeing that his face was still a little pale, the princess was unavoidably worried.

"Do you feel any discomfort? Ben Gong asked the doctor to come and show you."

Xie Jing said: "There is nothing uncomfortable, thank you."

The princess felt relieved after hearing this, knowing that he just woke up today and needs to rest.

"That's good, you go to bed earlier."

Xie Jing said "hmm".

The princess took the people away, and Xie Jing was the only one left in the room. He lay flat on the bed, thinking about the dinner he had, it tasted the same as Aning's, and it made him miss her even more.

Jiang Youning has been with the princess for four days, and she doesn't have to do anything except three meals a day, but her hands show signs of frostbite.

When Yuan Bao came to see her, he found out right away, and his heart ached.

"Miss, it's up to me to figure out a way. If you continue, your hands are really going to have frostbite."

Jiang Youning managed to survive until now, but he didn't want to give up easily.

"It's okay. I've already gotten familiar with the neighborhood, and I've established a good relationship with Mrs. Wang. I'll help her deliver food today, and then we can see who that person is."

Yuan Bao looked at her hands, her fingers did not touch Yang Chunshui, and her hands were rough when washing vegetables and cooking every day.

"Then I'll bring you some ointment tonight."

"Okay." Jiang Youning looked at his hand, it was red, it seemed to be a little swollen, and it looked ugly.

After Yuan Bao reluctantly left, Jiang Youning began to prepare lunch.

Xie Jing practiced for four days, and her spirit and strength recovered a lot, and her wounds also healed well.

He walked into the yard alone, looking at the unfamiliar place, he was not in the mood to appreciate even the best scenery.

Thinking of the cook who cooks for him every day, every meal he eats these days tastes the same as Aning's.

 Good night, babies!
