Chapter 323 To Ingratiate That Cat

The warm medicine slipped into the throat, a bit bitter.

But also warm.

Meng Qianyan put down the medicine bowl, grabbed a glass of water and rinsed his mouth.

Luo Ziyan lay on the bed, and gave him distressed eyes, "Forget it, we are not sick again, so you don't need to take medicine."

"Well, I bought them all, so I'll just eat them. I've been thinking recently that although I'm in good health now, I was in poor health when I was young. Maybe there are some reasons for it."

She rinsed her mouth, took off the coat she was wearing, and went into Luo Ziyan's arms.

"By the way, Ziyan, I heard from Seventeenth Brother that you are going to investigate Mo Yan?"

"Yeah." Luo Ziyan nodded, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing, so I have no other way to go."

"Okay, no matter what you decide, I will support you."

Meng Qianyan lay in Luo Ziyan's arms.

Blinking.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking I should do something."

Meng Qianyan looked at Luo Ziyan, "Have you noticed that the Empress Dowager doesn't like me very much?"

"Inevitably, your surname is not Mo, and the incident with Yang Liuhua last time made her look ugly."

"Yeah, so I have to think of a way to make her like me. There is also Concubine Yang of Xinghe Palace. Although she was close to the Fifteenth Prince's House before, after today's departure, the relationship between them There must have been a gap."

"That's true. Therefore, we should take this opportunity and let Concubine Yang turn against us." Luo Ziyan said: "Qianyan, otherwise, this task will be entrusted to you."

"Hee hee, okay, I thought so too."

"You, I know what you're thinking."

"Only you know me best."

"Okay, I'm tired today, let's go to bed."

The next morning.

Meng Qianyan woke up early again.

Luo Ziyan was putting on clothes, she went over and asked concerned: "Ziyan, are you in good health?"

"It's already very good. After the effect of yesterday's medicine wears off, it will be much better."

"That's good. You are busy with yours today, and I will be busy with mine."

"what are you busy at?"

"Hee hee, I won't tell you."

Meng Qianyan finished washing up and ran out in a flash.

She also thought about it yesterday, how should she please the empress dowager?

In terms of family relationship, how can she compare with someone surnamed Mo?
So she had to think of another way.

After thinking about it, she thought of the last time she saw the Empress Dowager's cat in Yongshou Palace.

The Empress Dowager loves that cat even more than herself.

So, she made up her mind and went to please the cat.

She called Luoying and Dong'er, and followed her out of the son-in-law's mansion early in the morning, towards the market, and went straight to the place where vegetables and fish were sold.

The smell of fish bursts.

Luo Ying couldn't help covering her nose, "Young Madam, what are you doing, the smell here is really bad."

"Yes." Dong'er also frowned.

"You two idiots, you don't understand anything, do what I tell you to do!" Meng Qianyan reprimanded, and glanced at a stall selling fish.

"boss!"

"Hey, little madam, what do you want to buy?"

"Buy fish, what kind of fish is the freshest and most meaty?"

"Of course it's the big carp!" The boss smiled enthusiastically, pointing to a fish that was still moving around in a large wooden basin, "This carp is the best. Grass carp is also good, but it has fewer spines. , there should be fewer carp bones."

Meng Qianyan nodded and looked around again.

Indeed, only carp and grass carp are sold again.

These days, fishermen have no ability to catch deep-sea fish.

She nodded, "Okay, carp, buy me five!"

"Five! The little madam is really ugly and rich!"

"Hahaha, there are many people, many people."

Five big carp were caught, "Little Madam, no more, no less, half a tael of silver."

"Okay, Dong'er, give me the money."

Meng Qianyan looked at the fish stall, and saw a basket of small fish, "Oh, boss, what kind of fish are you?"

"This one is called crucian carp. Hehe, you can eat it grilled or fried."

"Hey, boss, you see I bought so much, why don't you give me some of this little fish?"

"That's right, okay, I'll give the little lady some for free."

Just like that, Luoying and Dong'er carried a bunch of fish in their hands.

Meng Qianyan continued to walk forward.

"Madam? Do you want to buy anything else?" Dong'er asked.

"Buy, buy vegetables!"

Meng Qianyan grinned, and went to a vegetable stall again, "Boss, weigh five catties of carrots!"

Luoying and Dong'er looked at each other.

"Sister Luoying, our young lady can cook?"

Luoying gritted her teeth, "Hehe, I've never seen this before."

Meng Qianyan heard the conversation between the two of them, and gave them a white look, "What do you mean! I don't know how to cook yet!"

"You will?" Dong'er didn't believe it.

Meng Qianyan smiled slyly, "I don't know how to cook like a human, but I don't know how to cook like a cat?"

A long time ago, someone had given her a cat too.

At that time, she often made cat food for cats by herself.

So, she didn't believe it anymore, and she might not be able to deal with the cat in Yongshou Palace!

Back at the son-in-law's mansion, Meng Qianyan personally cut off the carp's flesh one by one, "Come on, Sister Luoying, help me chop it into puree."

"okay!"

Dong'er also joined in to have fun, "Young Madam, what are you doing, servant girl?"

"Hey, see if there is any beef at home, and give it to Sister Luoying to chop into a meat paste."

"okay!"

Meng Qianyan gave them instructions, and found the cook of the son-in-law's mansion, and asked them to find out the potatoes and soybean dregs.

Boil the potatoes and carrots separately and grind them into a fine batter with a grinder.

When the batter is almost ground, the fish and beef have been chopped.

"Young lady, what else do you want to do?"

"Mix it all together and stir well!"

Luoying and Dong'er started to stir it together in a big tub.

Seeing these ingredients turned into a khaki paste.

Meng Qianyan stopped them.

"And then? Young Madam."

"Then, put the batter on the panel, sprinkle with a layer of bean dregs, and let it dry in the sun outside."

Luoying and Dong'er followed suit.

Meng Qianyan's eyes fell on those little crucian carp, she stretched out her hand and rolled up her sleeves, "Come on, roast them!"

After a full day of tossing.

The batter of the meat dishes had been sun-dried.

Meng Qianyan used a knife again, and cut into small cubes, the size of a thumb.

When it was finally cut, she put it in a bag and put it away with the small grilled fish.

"Very good, you're done."

Although Dong'er has been busy all day, she is still very confused, "Young Madam, why are we doing this?"

"Feed the cat." Meng Qianyan smiled sweetly, "You two, come into the palace with me tomorrow, and let you see how the princess feeds the cat!"
