Chapter 542: Isn’t it all about looks?
"Double-boiled hot pot?"
It was the first time Cui Yao had heard of it, so she was very curious. When the pots of clear soup and red soup were brought up, Cui Yao's eyes widened. She tried hard to control her expression, fearing that others would think she was an inexperienced person and lose face for Brother Xiao.
"Yes, this is my sister's creation. When I first saw it, I was so shocked that my eyes almost popped out. It turns out that one pot can hold two kinds of soup!"
Xiao Yurong immediately noticed Cui Yao's shock. Fearing she would be embarrassed, she recounted her reaction when she first saw it, saying, "If you can handle spicy food, go for spicy. Spicy and numb tastes better. Clear soup retains more of the flavor of the ingredients!"
"I like clear soup, the mutton slices are delicious!" Xiao Tingwu's favorite is the mutton roll.
"I like spicy food. What kind does sister-in-law like? You definitely haven't seen it when the dishes are served!" Sisters Xiao Yurong and Xiao Tingwu sang in unison, introducing the food to sister-in-law Cui Yao, and even took Cui Yao to the busy kitchen to watch.
The kitchen was busy but orderly, with the prepared ingredients stacked one by one. There was a person who was responsible for cutting the frozen meat into meat rolls.
"This, isn't this a carpenter's tool?" Cui Yao saw the tool the man used to cut the meat rolls. This, this looked like a carpenter's tool. The frozen meat would automatically roll up when cut with this tool. The meat slices looked particularly attractive.
Xiao Jiuyue did not follow them, but went to greet the Sixth Princess.
"Sister Xiao, I can finally eat at Fengchunlou, a place I've been longing for." As soon as the Sixth Princess got off the carriage, she was attracted by the unique layout of Fengchunlou.
"It is naturally an honor for Fengchunlou to have the Sixth Princess visit." Xiao Jiuyue was about to invite the Sixth Princess upstairs when a cough was heard from the carriage.
Xiao Jiuyue turned back in confusion. Du Ting couldn't be. Could it be that the girl from the Gao, Lin, or Feng family was with her? Or was it Princess Mu Xi?
"Oh, Sister Xiao, I forgot to tell you that my fifth sister is here too. I didn't tell you in advance. I hope you won't be angry." The Sixth Princess only then remembered that her fifth sister, who had just returned to Beijing, was here too. She came in such a hurry that she forgot to greet Sister Xiao in advance.
"Everyone who comes is a guest, so naturally not." Xiao Jiuyue's smile never changed. She said with a smile: "It is a great honor for Fengchunlou to have the Fifth Princess come to Fengchunlou. We are very happy to welcome you!"
The Fifth Princess did not make any more trouble. She got off the carriage. The moment she saw Xiao Jiuyue, she understood that the person who made Jiang Yu miss him so much was probably her.
"Hello, Fifth Princess." Xiao Jiuyue saluted with a smile. At the door of Fengchun Tower, ordinary people did not dare to step forward. This restaurant was for either rich or noble people, and there were two princesses here.
"Miss Xiao, there's no need to be so polite. I'm sorry for being rude." The Fifth Princess smiled with pursed lips. Unlike the Sixth Princess who was innocent and straightforward, the Fifth Princess seemed to be more casual. If she changed her clothes, she would look like a female knight.
"Come to think of it, Miss Xiao will still be my third brother's sister-in-law in the future." The fifth princess praised, "My third brother is so lucky."
"It's also my blessing." Xiao Jiuyue smiled and invited the two princesses into Fengchun Tower. Fortunately, not only was new hot pot served today, but she had already posted the invitation for the banquet. Now with one more princess, it would not be difficult to entertain her. She just had to follow the procedure.
The bustle of Fengchunlou goes far beyond this.
The crowds watching the lively atmosphere at Fengchunlou started whispering to each other as they watched the customers coming into the restaurant.
"Fengchunlou has the support of the Marquis' daughter, no wonder its business is so brisk."
"What do you know? I heard that the food at Fengchunlou is amazing. Once you try it, you'll want to eat it again and again!"
"Can a dish be so delicious?"
"Of course there is." The man who had spoken earlier raised his lips proudly and said, "My cousin's great-nephew's uncle works in the palace. I was lucky enough to go there and eat there once. Do you know? The cabbage there is better than other people's!"
"Tsk, stop bragging. It's just a cabbage, what's so delicious about it!" The skinny guy who was sour before had a face full of disbelief.
A pockmarked man nearby agreed, "That's right, Brother Wang. No matter how delicious the cabbage is, can it be better than meat?"
The man called 'Brother Wang' said mysteriously, "You don't understand this. This boiled cabbage, I heard that cabbage costs one cent, and boiled water costs three thousand!"
"What kind of boiled water is worth three thousand coins?" The thin man was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
The pockmarked face looked as if you were lying.
A fat man next to him said, "He's right. The water in the boiled cabbage is very fresh. I heard it's made from chicken broth."
"The chicken soup has been simmered for hours, and it has Fengchunlou's secret seasoning. How can it not taste good?" Brother Wang wiped the drool from his mouth and said, "Don't even mention the boiled cabbage. Fengchunlou has special ingredients. Even the bok choy at home, just stir-fried like this, is delicious!"
Everyone's mouths watered at Brother Wang's description. The thin man sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity that we can't eat it."
The onlookers sighed, and suddenly, someone said, "It must be said, Miss Xiao is really beautiful. The Third Prince is really lucky."
"What you said is true. Without this face, how could the Third Prince still be interested in Miss Xiao, whose engagement was broken off?"
…
Xiao Jiuyue had no idea what the onlookers outside thought. At this time, Xiao Jiuyue was leading the fifth princess and the sixth princess to the box on the second floor. The fifth princess rarely went out of the palace, and she was chattering excitedly.
The Fifth Princess was even more blunt: "Miss Xiao, I've been to many places, but this is the first time I've seen a restaurant like this with a stage right in the middle."
"Isn't this the most popular song in Shengjing recently, "Three Thousand Miles"? The melody of this song is really beautiful." The Fifth Princess has listened to it many times and still likes it. She said, "I also heard this song when I was in Hongdu before, but Miss Yun's singing is still better!"
"This is Miss Yun," the Sixth Princess began. "When they performed opera for Grandmother in the palace, it was so beautiful. I've listened to the piece 'Three Thousand Miles' alone many times."
"Miss Yun's singing is indeed beautiful." After listening, the Fifth Princess looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss Xiao is really amazing. She was able to invite the Shang family troupe to sing in the restaurant. I heard that the Shang family troupe is very difficult to invite."
"Maybe, we are all from the same hometown." Xiao Jiuyue smiled but did not reveal her relationship with the Shang family.
The Sixth Princess on the side covered her mouth and laughed. Sister Xiao was just too modest. It was obvious that Sister Xiao had done a favor to Master Shang, but Sister Xiao said nothing.
"I heard that Lord Jiang and Miss Xiao used to live in the same village?" The Sixth Princess looked at Xiao Jiuyue with a burning gaze and asked, "What do you think of Lord Jiang, Miss Xiao?"
