Chapter 241 My father loves eating sorghum cake the most
After returning home, Luo Xiao did not go back to his own yard, but followed his mother to the study.
Prince Zhou was playing with Ping'an when he heard Fugui say that Madam Zhu was waiting for him in the study and had something important to discuss.
He hugged Ping An reluctantly and said, "Daddy is going to take care of something. I'll be with you later."
Ping An chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly.
Prince Zhou had a sad face. While his son was playing with toys all over his body, he couldn't help but pinch his chubby white face.
Then leave quickly.
Ping'an was left staring at the other's back in a daze. Just as he was about to burst into tears, Fugui quickly picked up the newly made little tiger to attract his attention.
In the study.
Prince Zhou sat upright on a carved Huanghuali wood armchair. Even in the August weather, he was wearing thicker clothes than ordinary people.
These days, he has been taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Hua, and he feels that his heart palpitations are getting less and less. With his son around, he is a little reluctant to leave.
He knew what had happened when he arrived, and had made some plans in his mind, so without waiting for the other party to speak, he asked directly: "You said you want me to step in and solve the school issue?"
Luo Xiao coughed twice. "Since you, the prince, already know about the academy, then please judge for yourself. Magistrate Liu is deliberately targeting the Luo family, right?"
Prince Zhou nodded slightly: "I can come forward. The school is to cultivate talents for Nanxia. It cannot be destroyed for personal gain!"
Looking at the mother and son opposite, his expression was calm, without any expression of satisfaction or excitement.
He was a little confused: "Could it be something else?"
Zhu Mingqing reminded calmly, "Isn't it time to use the Xu family's account book?"
Prince Zhou was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized and said in shock: "You want to..."
Zhu Mingqing said calmly, "Don't forget who Magistrate Liu works for? I'm sure Fugui has told you. If I say she had no hand in this matter, I'm sure you won't believe it."
Prince Zhou was silent. The joy of finding his son suppressed the anger after learning the truth.
But he really couldn't do anything to her at the moment. After all, he had no evidence. Even if his father believed it, the Xu family couldn't just do it.
What's more, the marriage was arranged by the emperor himself!
However, after Mrs. Zhu said this, killing the chicken to scare the monkey and eliminating the other party's people one by one can be regarded as a way to vent anger.
Especially this Magistrate Liu was so audacious that he took bribes, abused his power, and engaged in human trafficking. Any one of these actions was enough to make him lose his official position.
Prince Zhou had an idea in mind and asked with a smile, "Anything else?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled and shook his head.
Watching the other person walk away, Luo Xiao hurriedly asked, "Did he agree?"
"I guess he must hate that Magistrate Liu even more than we do now!"
His body and his son are both inseparable from the other party's calculations!
"What about the position of prefect?" Luo Xiao asked again.
"You can tell Wang Qin about this. I'm sure they know what to do." Zhu Mingqing reminded.
"Oh! Okay, I'll send someone to the Tongpan's mansion in a while." Luo Xiao smiled. If Lord Wang could really get to the position, it would bring many benefits to their family.
Even though it is a little unrealistic for him to be promoted to prefect just a few months after being promoted, it is not impossible if Prince Huai's Mansion supports him.
They and the Wang family worked together, and they had to give it a try even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
"By the way, mother, where have you seen sorghum cake?" Luo Xiao licked his lips, feeling greedy.
Zhu Mingqing thought: "Is there nothing for sale in Guancheng?"
Luo Xiao nodded heavily. "The last time I saw Lianghuang Cake in your painting, I thought someone was selling it in Guancheng. But I searched all over Guancheng and couldn't find a buyer."
Zhu Mingqing said helplessly: "If you want to eat it, just make it yourself. Since it's not sold in Guancheng, it must be made by others."
Luo Xiao sighed and stood up: "Well, I just don't know how to make it, and I don't know if there is anyone in the house who can do it."
When he found the kitchen and asked everyone, no one knew how to cook this southwestern delicacy.
"Third Young Master, I have a neighbor who I heard is from the southwest. How about I ask her to come over and give it a try?"
His interest, which had just faltered, was rekindled. Luo Xiao nodded and said, "Go ahead. If this thing is done, you'll get a lot of money!"
After nap time, Luo Xiao smelled the sorghum cake in his yard. He immediately put on his clothes and hurried to the kitchen.
"Third Young Master, my neighbor knows how to make it, and it's steaming in the kitchen now!" said the kitchen servant excitedly.
Luo Xiao's expression was also quite excited. He took out a dime and threw it over: "Take it."
"The Third Young Master is so generous!"
In the kitchen, the busy cook heard the shouting outside and a happy smile appeared on her face.
She stared eagerly at the iron pot in front of her. The steam floating in the air turned the whole room into a scorching furnace, making people feel uncomfortable.
But the cook wasn't angry at all, she just felt that the extra money was worth it.
"How long will it take?" Luo Xiao asked the cook. Just as he finished speaking, the cook's voice came from the kitchen: "Sir, it will be ready before dinner!"
Luo Xiao happily left with his hands behind his back.
Then he sent someone to announce that there would be new delicacies tonight and invited everyone to come and try them.
Because everyone in Luo's house is usually busy with their own things, sometimes they may not be able to get together.
But as soon as Luo Xiao notified them, they had to make time no matter how busy they were. It just so happened that they hadn't had a meal together for a long time, so they all replied in the affirmative.
Mid-afternoon passed quickly.
Prince Zhou also knew that the Luo family would have dinner together tonight, so he took Ping An to Huaxiang Tower to enjoy the food.
As the night deepened, everyone was seated and the maids placed the delicious dishes in their hands neatly.
The last dish was sorghum cake, and a portion was placed in front of each person.
The color is bright yellow with white and yellow interlaced, and there is a little osmanthus honey in the dish.
"Come on, try it, I asked someone to make this specially for you." Luo Xiao's eyes lit up with joy, "You haven't eaten this since you left the capital."
Luo Fu's eyes sparkled as she picked up a piece, dipped it in honey, and put it in her mouth.
It is sweet, with a hint of coolness, and just the right amount of softness.
"Third brother, you are this!" She raised her thumb and praised.
Luo Xiao smiled, then looked at his mother, and received a praising look from her as well. He was in a really good mood.
We had a great time chatting and laughing.
Luo Xiao looked at the empty plate of sorghum cake and suddenly sighed with melancholy: "This is my father's favorite cake, but he can no longer eat it..."
"Ahem..." Luo Fu was drinking water and choked. "How is that possible? Father doesn't like such sweet food!"
Luo Xiao was unconvinced: "That's because you didn't know. I discovered it by accident."
Zhu Mingqing dropped the chopsticks in his hand, his pupils shrank, and an incredible thought popped up in his mind.
