Young man, please stay

Chapter 249 The servant’s scheming

At noon, Princess Qingli's mansion.

Da da da…

Da da da…

Su Yinping sat at the table in the east banquet hall, holding a chopstick in each hand, looking out the door and tapping the edge of the table.

Due to the high height of the chair, her toes could only barely touch the ground, so she also swayed her calves in her skirt.

If Qin Lang saw her like this, he would immediately think of a certain little sect leader who was waiting for him to be fed.

In fact, this look that was not very appropriate for the princess was because Su Yinping showed off a little bit of himself when no one was watching.

"Hehe~ Here comes the duck soup~"

Sure enough, when someone came, Su Yinping instantly returned to the graceful and elegant posture of a lady.

"Madam, the soup today smells so good."

"Greedy Cat... When will you not say that?"

"But but! It smells really good~!"

In fact, there are not many rules in the princess's mansion, so when eating, Tao'er, as the personal maid, also directly did the work of an ordinary maid, bringing the food directly from the kitchen to the east banquet hall.

"Uh-huh~"

Tao'er wrinkled her little nose and smelled it. The bowl of duck soup in the plain porcelain soup bowl was delicious and rich. It was seven parts meaty and three parts sour, which made people want to eat.

Princess Su Yinping was reserved on the surface, but her eyes were staring at the duck soup for the first time.

This bowl of sour radish and old duck soup is made from the same pot as the food of the people in the house, but it is just a regular soup for the princess. It is filled with the first bowl, and it has been "refined", and the radish pieces have been trimmed into even radish slices. At the bottom of the bowl, on the clear soup surface with excess fat swept away, a row of thick slices of duck breast with skin is neatly arranged, and topped with a wisp of coriander and green onions. It looks both attractive and delicate, making people feel I wanted to try it but was afraid of ruining the perfect presentation.

"..."

Su Yinping looked at the small bowl and was silent for a moment.

Tao'er on the side saw this, swallowed her saliva, blinked sensibly and whispered:
"Look, Madam, this dish is made with the same care as always..."

Su Yinping's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was stunned for a moment before giving Tao'er an angry look:
"Too much talk..."

"Hee hee~"

In fact, there is no need for Tao'er to say anything. It has been several days since he arranged for the servant named Qin to go to the kitchen. Su Yinping himself had to admit that the guy was obviously a young knight with good martial arts skills, but he was in this kind of situation. He is indeed very good at weird things.

Ha ha…

No wonder he deceives women so easily...

Presumably these dispensable little thoughts are specially developed for women...

……

In fact, Su Yinping's slander was not unreasonable.

After all, Qin Lang's culinary skills were cultivated since childhood for his senior sister Mu Xuanli.

……

shuh…

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and a voice without joy or sorrow sounded from behind Su Yinping:

"lady."

"Here? Sit down."

Su Yinping knew it was Gu Jin without turning around. He pointed to the seat next to him. The girl Gu Jin nodded and sat down, but her movements were slightly stiff. Su Yinping pursed her lips:

"How can you still be so virtuous...I told you that I was in a moment of rage that day, wasn't it just that I was separated from you for two days, and I didn't mean anything else...Are you still going to stay angry with me?"

When Gu Jin heard this, she turned her face to the side:
"How dare I be angry with Madam."

"Tch...don't you dare? You haven't figured it out yet..."

"..."

"Ahem...Oh, okay, okay."

Su Yinping frowned complainingly, and quietly took Gu Jin's hand from under the table:
"I really don't blame you anymore. I have figured it out. After all, my sister is different from me. She is the emperor above ten thousand people. You are restricted in what you say and do around her, and you really can't stop her from doing some sneaky things. , blindly blaming you for not taking a good look at Su Yupan, it was indeed an angry remark that I didn’t understand at the moment... As for that bastard Qin Lang, you must have been deceived and bullied by him all the way..."

After hearing this, Gu Jin's head turned slightly:

"Too?"

"Yes, you, me, and even Yupan came to me that night and said that she was bullied by that guy... Tsk! Even the emperor dared to bully him. This bastard was so bold to seduce a woman!"

"..."

"Sigh... Sumire, why do you think we got such a boyfriend who is so carefree and lawless?"

"..."

Gu Jin listened silently to Su Yinping's words. In some places, she actually wanted to refute, but she held back.

For example, is a certain empress really just being bullied?
Didn't she even have the slightest "enjoyment" in it?
Gu Jin wouldn't dare to say this kind of thing anyway, and she wouldn't say it. Originally, her boyfriend had become a "servant" in order to get the princess's forgiveness. It was already very hard to cook for so many people in the house every day, Miss Jin. I couldn't bear to cause him any more unnecessary trouble.

"Let's eat, Tao'er, you too, come sit here."

"Hmm~" Tao'er also sat down next to Su Yinping's right, and introduced today's main course:

"A piece of shredded pork with pickled vegetables and a piece of shrimp and egg. They both look delicious and refreshing. They complement the rich aroma of the duck soup... Madam, madam, the dishes these days are really better than before. The cooks are all very attentive~”

"No matter how delicious it is, it can't stop your mouth."

Su Yinping was a little amused and put a few chopsticks of shrimp and shredded pork into Tao'er's bowl.

Then, as if he thought of something, he quickly picked up some chopsticks for Gu Jin on the left.

"Jin'er, please eat quickly, don't let it get cold."

"Thank you ma'am."

Gu Jin was not polite. After taking a bite of shrimp, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Tao'er quickly continued to cheer for a certain servant named Qin:
"How are you, Senju-sama? It's still delicious, right? We've really enjoyed our food these past few days~"

Gu Jin nodded, and then said:
"This shrimp-and-smooth egg...is sweet..."

"Sweet?"

Su Yinping was stunned. This dish is usually salty and delicious. Can it be delicious if it is sweet?

So she also tasted it, and found that Qin Lang's shrimp and egg smoothie did have a slight aftertaste after entering the mouth, which just highlighted the umami flavor of the shrimp and eggs, but did not make the whole dish biased towards a strange sweetness. Taste, which undoubtedly requires particularly precise control of seasoning.

After Gu Jin tasted this dish, she thought of more.

"Tao'er, what was the dish yesterday?"

"Yesterday? Senju-sama is such a noble person who forgets things. Let me think about it...yesterday it was fried beef tenderloin with coriander, corn with golden sand, and tomato and egg soup."

"What about the day before yesterday?"

"Uh... the day before yesterday was... sweet and sour fish and stir-fried tribute vegetables."

"The day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday, it was roasted chicken nuggets, shredded sweet potatoes, and spinach soup."

……

Tao'er didn't know why Senju-sama suddenly kept asking about the food for the past few days, and she obviously ate all the food together. Is her memory so bad?

In short, after reporting the names of the dishes, Gu Jin continued to eat.

On the other hand, Su Yinping was holding a pair of chopsticks. From the moment Taoer announced the name of the dish to the end, the look in his eyes seemed to be getting more and more hazy and fluctuating.

While Gu Jin was eating, she suddenly whispered:
"I told him when we were in Qingniugang."

"Eh…?"

Su Yinping came back to his senses:

"tell what…?"

"I told him that Madam likes meat and sweets."

"..."

"I think he should always remember this..."

"..."

Su Yinping bit her chopsticks and stopped talking.

Yes, since someone took charge of the meal, it is nothing if every meal of the princess's meal contains meat, but every meal has more or less sweetness, which is enough to explain some problems.

This is not just about putting a handful of sugar in every dish.

It can only be said that the two words emphasized by Tao'er are truly printed.

【Careful】

In addition, Su Yinping also discovered that many of the things Qin Lang cooked for him these days were the same things they used to eat in Qingzhou, such as shredded pork with pickled vegetables and sweet and sour fish.

What can Su Yinping say about this?

All I can say is that this new servant in the house is really...

So scheming.

snort…

"Tao'er."

"Ok?"

"tomorrow…"

"?"

"For tomorrow's meals, I'll just ask Suo Shuang from Fengdelou...and then give it to everyone in the kitchen, mainly Aunt Wang, Xiaocui and the others... take a day off to rest..."

"Oh! Okay~ Tao'er understands~"
