Chapter 126 I'm in a good mood today
Gu Xing scratched his head after hearing this and said in frustration, "That person, our people have lost him."
Zhao Shen shifted his gaze from the memorial and looked at him.
Gu Xing felt his scalp tingle. "It's not that I didn't take Madam's words seriously. I sent my most capable men to keep an eye on him, but who knew he'd disappear in a short while."
Zhao Shen thought of what Ji Yunshu said about Lan Ting and shook his head, "I can't blame you. That person was not simple to begin with."
Regardless of whether Lan Ting is the masked man, his strength should not be underestimated.
According to Ji Yunshu, if he could escape the pursuit of Yama Palace, he could naturally escape the tracking of the secret guards.
There is no need to draw a conclusion now.
After Gu Xing left, Zhao Shen handled the matters at hand very efficiently.
But it was almost done in just one afternoon.
The Suzhou prefectural government office had to operate normally, and Gu Xing quickly released those who were not suspected.
Zhao Shen decisively handed over everything.
During dinner, he appeared in front of Ji Yunshu again.
Ji Yunshu drank the medicine and slept for a day, and he felt much better.
She said with some regret, "I heard there was a lantern festival in Suzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but unfortunately I went to bed early last night and couldn't go."
Zhao Shen helped her gather her cloak and said, "The Lantern Festival will last for three days. If you feel better tomorrow, I will go with you."
There was a charcoal pot burning in Ji Yunshu's room, and it was actually a bit hot. She complained, "Please don't wrap yourself up, I'm sweating all over."
Zhao Shen saw her blushing face and said with a smile, "Sweating a little will make you feel better faster."
As they were talking, Bai Ling brought people in to deliver dinner.
I saw a little girl carrying a small charcoal basin and placing it on the table, and then put a pot of soup on it.
Others placed some plates of raw meat and vegetables on the table.
Seeing this, Zhao Shen asked, "Is this how it's eaten in Suzhou? Madam, can your stomach handle meat?"
Bai Ling said, "This is what Madam ordered. I added ginger, angelica and other herbs to the soup. The meat is local Suzhou lamb. It warms the middle and nourishes the lower body, replenishes Qi and strengthens the body, and is good for Madam's health."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yunshu waved his hand and said, "We can eat by ourselves. You can also take the others downstairs to eat."
Bai Ling warned again, "Remember you still need to take medicine at night, so eat less."
"I see."
After waking up from a nap in the afternoon and sweating all over, Ji Yunshu felt that he was almost recovered.
She had a taste for bland food, so she suddenly had the urge to eat hotpot.
The base is red oil, and it has a very spicy flavor.
However, chili peppers were not that popular in that era, and Suzhou did not produce chili peppers, so it was difficult to find so many chili peppers to make the base for stir-frying in a short time.
Not to mention that she is still taking medicine and is a patient, Bai Ling would never allow her to eat greasy and spicy food.
So I had to settle for a clear soup base.
Fortunately, the lamb was freshly slaughtered and very fresh. The chef was also very skilled. The meat was cut as thin as a cicada's wing. It was dipped in the boiling soup and curled up instantly.
Dip it in the sesame paste she specifically asked for, and it will be filled with freshness and fragrance.
Ji Yunshu took a bite and was very satisfied. He said to Zhao Shen, "Just put whatever you want in the pot and you can eat it when it's cooked."
Daxia actually had pots, but they put everything in the pot and ate while it was cooking. Zhao Shen had never seen people putting food into the pot and eating at the same time.
But he was smart. He understood what Ji Yunshu did after watching her method once, and he also cooked a piece of mutton according to her method. It was indeed delicious.
He smiled and said, "This Suzhou mutton is quite good, without any fishy smell."
Ji Yunshu also ate happily: "Of course, but unfortunately Suzhou is bitterly cold, and not many families can afford to eat mutton. It is also inconvenient to transport it outside, so not many people raise sheep."
Zhao Shen saw that she looked a little regretful and seemed to be thinking about something, so he couldn't help asking, "Do you have any ideas?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Before I came to Suzhou, I was planning to open a restaurant. I could add a few mutton dishes, but the amount shouldn't be too large."
Zhao Shen said: "Aren't you going to add this soup pot? This way of eating doesn't seem to exist in the capital. It's quite interesting."
He always eats whatever the kitchen sends him, and occasionally if he wants to eat something, he will ask for additional dishes in advance.
It’s really fresh to cook whatever you want by yourself.
Ji Yunshu pondered, "This doesn't quite fit the restaurant's positioning."
"position?"
"Well, didn't I open the restaurant to make money? So I plan to go the high-end route. I'll ask the emperor for two imperial chefs, and then hire a few noble people to promote it. I'll set the prices high, anyway, it's the kind of food that only rich people can afford."
Zhao Shen heard what she meant and seemed to have already made a plan. He smiled and said, "Then do as you think. We can open another Tangguo restaurant like this."
Seeing that he seemed very interested in this, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask, "Do you think people in the capital will like this?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "It's hard to say when it's hot, but eating this in the middle of winter will warm you up, and people should like it."
"But this isn't difficult to do. Anyone can learn it."
Ji Yunshu had considered opening a hot pot restaurant at first, but this thing really didn't require much technical skills, and she didn't want the streets and alleys of Beijing to be filled with hot pot restaurants soon.
Zhao Shen said, "We opened it first, and with our status, most people will give us face, so the business will always be able to continue. No one can handle all the business, so it's okay if others learn from us. Don't forget, our original goal was to find a way to sell Suzhou's mutton."
Ji Yunshu's eyes lit up: "You are so smart."
Through the white mist rising from the soup pot, Zhao Shen could see her smiling face with curved eyebrows and eyes full of admiration.
I also feel a strange warmth in my heart.
He laughed and said, "You were the one who came up with this way of eating it. You're smart."
Ji Yunshu is not modest either. When it comes to opening a hot pot restaurant, she has a lot of ideas. You know, in modern times, people eat this stuff regardless of the season.
Even in the hot summer, I still like to have a pot of hot and spicy beef soup.
You have to eat until you are sweating and your makeup is ruined before you feel happy.
Ji Yunshu was already in a good mood after listening to Zhao Shen's confession today. After the meal, he found that he was really thinking about making money, and even helping the people of Suzhou solve some livelihood problems.
I instantly felt like I liked him more.
Zhao Shen saw that she was enjoying her meal and had finished the entire plate of meat in no time. He quickly stopped her and said, "Didn't Bai Ling tell you to eat less? If you like it, wait until you feel better before eating."
Ji Yunshu was afraid that he would overeat, so he simply scooped out all the food that had just been cooked into Zhao Shen's bowl: "You're in luck, this mutton is really delicious."
Zhao Shen accepted all the food she offered him and ate all the meat she put into his bowl. He also comforted her, saying, "When your restaurant opens, you can eat as much as you want."
Ji Yunshu said sadly, "You don't understand. Eating is all about the atmosphere. I'm in a good mood today."
In a foreign land, Zhao Shen accompanied her, and she knew very clearly that she liked him.
Ji Yunshu felt that as time went by, he might not feel this way anymore.
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, a wave of joy spreading in his heart, and he couldn't help asking, "A good mood? Why?"
