Chapter 55 Well Done
It’s really... beautifully done.
When the maids in the mansion saw the prince and the princess coming to the kitchen, they were so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground. They wondered if they had done something wrong?
Are they going to be sold out?
Nangong Xue: "All of you, please stand up. Why are you kneeling?"
The old women were trembling with fear.
Dongfang Chen: "Didn't you hear what the princess said?"
The maids then stood up and spoke haltingly.
"My Lord, what are your instructions?"
"Princess, please tell them if there's anything they're not happy with."
Nangong Xue: "Um...you guys go out first, don't come in without my order."
"Yes, Princess."
After the maids who were cooking walked out of the kitchen, they said, "Your Highness, please turn your back."
Dongfang Chen: "Princess, is there any secret you don't want me to know?"
"Hey, just turn your back and forget about it. Why are you nagging me? Do you still want to eat something delicious?"
"Okay, okay, okay."
Dongfang Chen turned around and thought, isn’t the princess trying to cover up her mistake?
Nangong Xue waved her hand, and a large pile of ingredients appeared in the kitchen.
After finishing it, Nangong Xue clapped her hands, "Chen, it's done, you can turn around now."
Dongfang Chen turned around and saw so many ingredients, all of which he had never seen before.
This... is the princess really a fairy? Otherwise, how could she perform magic? She conjured up so many ingredients in the blink of an eye.
"princess……."
Nangong Xue: "I know what you want to ask. When you need to know, I will tell you everything.
So now you help me and I'll let you taste what real food is?
It’s no exaggeration to say that the last time I dined at your palace, I felt very upset in my stomach.”
"Princess, I didn't expect you to be able to cook. It seems that the world's prejudice against you is too deep."
"How about I ask someone to clarify things? It's not good to let the misunderstanding continue like this.
You are my princess, and I will not allow you to be harmed in the slightest."
Nangong Xue: "Your Highness, there's really no need for that. I don't care what people think of me.
Sometimes standing too high is not necessarily a good thing. I just want to be a carefree salted fish.
I have endless money to spend every day, and I am not bound by any constraints and can go wherever I want.
This is the day I want.”
“Princess, this is probably very difficult at the moment because the border is unstable and I may have to go on an expedition at any time.
But I promise you, when the world is at peace, I will take you to travel all over this beautiful country and live a life that belongs to us two."
"Okay, okay, the others are still waiting, don't disturb me."
The King of War is good at fighting, but he knows nothing about doing these jobs.
Instead, it made things worse, but everyone has things they are not good at, so Nangong Xue did not laugh at him.
Just tell him not to rush and take his time.
Half an incense stick later, people outside could smell the fragrance of the food.
What's that smell? Why is it so fragrant? Everyone came to the kitchen at the same time.
Seeing that it was Nangong Xue who was cooking, everyone else was very curious.
What was the princess cooking? Why did it smell so good? And what were these ingredients? How come they had never seen them before?
Nangong Xue: "When did this kitchen become so popular? What are you all doing here?"
"Either take the prepared dishes to the main hall, or leave here and don't affect my performance."
Ye Shiyang picked up the chopsticks, picked up some food and tasted it.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Others thought that the food Nangong Xue cooked was not tasty and were thinking about how to make an excuse.
“Ah…ah
What kind of divine delicacy is this, Princess? It’s delicious, so delicious.”
Nangong Xue: "I'll tell you later, have someone take the food away.
We will be able to enjoy these delicious foods soon, and my stomach won’t have to suffer anymore.
I really don’t know if there’s something wrong with your sense of taste? What did you eat before?
"Seeing you guys eating with such gusto, I really feel sorry for your stomachs."
Dongfang Chen: "Princess, the chef in this palace is considered the best cook.
But no one would have thought that your cooking skills are so good, Princess.
Compared to you, they really need to be retrained."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's try it and see how it tastes. These dishes of mine may seem simple.
But it includes famous dishes from different regions, so there is always a dish that suits you."
"Princess, could you tell us the names of these dishes? I'm so curious.
Besides, isn’t that fish usually fishy, smelly, and unpleasant? Why did you cook it so deliciously, Princess?
“No one of us has eaten these before, and we didn’t expect them to taste so good.”
Nangong Xue: "These dishes are just simple home-cooked dishes, including pork with preserved vegetables, dry pot yellow croaker, braised fish, steamed lion's head, mushroom chicken soup, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, candied sweet potato, cold beef, spicy hot pot, garlic vermicelli shrimp, and lettuce with oyster sauce.
Time is limited, so just eat a little."
"Princess, how can you say that you are just making do with so many dishes? Every dish is so delicious and beautiful.
We couldn't help but drool, and our appetites were aroused."
Nangong Xue glanced outside and said, "An Yi, there's still plenty of food in the kitchen. If you want to eat, go there quickly."
"Yes, Princess."
Several people disappeared in the blink of an eye. Each of them was a top master.
Dongfang Chen was filled with jealousy. "Princess, don't spoil them. They are your subordinates and you are their mistress. Give them some face."
Nangong Xue: "Okay, okay, eat quickly, they are all your right-hand men, so don't be too harsh on them.
We must use both kindness and force to make them obey you from the bottom of their hearts, rather than obeying you out of fear."
"Otherwise, why would so many people betray their masters at critical moments?
It's because the master is usually too harsh on them. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. If they get the chance, they will step on them."
Qiao Beichen: "Princess, I didn't expect you to have such profound insights. I really admire you.
From now on, I will only recognize you as my mistress. After spending a few days together, I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
Nangong Xue: "Thank you all for your recognition. Let's eat quickly."
"Yes, thank you, Princess."
The War King started to eat, and then the others started to pick up the dishes they liked.
Just smelling the taste makes you feel it is a divine delicacy, and once you put it in your mouth you simply cannot stop eating it.
Everyone ate bowl after bowl as if they had never eaten before.
In the kitchen, a few people from An Yi started fighting just to get a bite of food.
An Yi: "These dishes are all mine, please eat less.
You guys should lose some weight, you can’t eat that much. I don’t mind helping you.”
"Bah, big brother, you are so shameless! You are so shameless just to eat one more bite."
"Third brother, how about we have a fight and the winner gets more food?"
