Chapter 1871 Give People Soup
Changyu looked at the meat pie in his right hand, which had already eaten most of it, then looked at the intact meat pie in his left hand, and then turned to look at the remaining half of the meat pie in Mingda's hand.
Mingda ignored her, took a bite, and ate slowly while walking. Aunt Fan couldn't help but mutter behind her: "Eating while walking, how can the princess be so rude?"
Princess Changyu then noticed Aunt Fan and scolded her, "Aunt, why did you call the Crown Prince over?"
Aunt Fan explained, "I was going to look for Aunt Shang, but I ran into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the way. When His Royal Highness asked about it, I couldn't help but answer."
Aunt Fan was Mingda's aunt who raised her. She had been with her since she was very young and was considered the confidant of the emperor and empress.
However, Mingda had grown older in the past two years and no longer needed her. Young girls naturally liked to be with young girls, so Mingda preferred to use the palace maids around him.
Aunt Fan also knew that Mingda would feel uncomfortable if she was around him, so she had been consciously doing some needlework and taking care of some trivial matters in the palace. Now she basically acted as a mascot.
So she didn't know about the secret agreement between Zhou Man and the two princesses. This morning, she followed Princess Mingda because she got up early to go out and she felt it was strange.
It was spring now, and Princess Mingda usually wouldn't leave the palace at this time of year, but they actually made their way all the way to the palace gate.
She didn't say anything when asked, and it was not until Zhou Man came that she realized that they had come here so early just for a bite to eat.
Although Zhou Man was an imperial physician, she did not dare to let Princess Mingda eat food from outside. She also knew that Princess Mingda always had her own ideas, and the only person in the palace who could stop her was probably the Queen Mother.
So she hurried to find the Queen, and ended up meeting the Prince on the way.
At this time, the prince had already taken the basket and was about to enter the palace. Because it contained meat patties and the prince had one in his mouth, no one thought the meat pie was poisonous, so the guards did not stop him.
Everyone watched him walk away, then they timidly opened their eyelids and quickly checked their things before entering the palace.
The guards looked at Bai Shan and Zhou Manbai Erlang, reached out to look through their things, and saw the bamboo tube hanging next to the food box, so they signaled Bai Shan to open it.
When he saw the liquid inside, he said, "You can't take this in either."
Bai Shan simply handed the food box to Daji and casually untied a bamboo tube to Liu Huan, "Here you go."
Liu Huan happily opened the bamboo tube and drank from it. "What is this made of? It seems to taste like beans."
"This is made from beans," Bai Shan asked, "Soy milk, made while making tofu. Don't you have any here?"
Liu Huan was stunned and shook his head. "I have eaten tofu pudding before, but that was only available in the past two years. How come this soy milk is even thinner than tofu pudding?"
Zhao Liulang slammed the basket in front of them, and after checking it, he glanced at them and went in.
Manbao asked, "What happened to him?"
Bai Jilang asked suspiciously, "Is it because I didn't get to eat the meat pie?"
Liu Huan took a look at the remaining half of the meat pie in his hand and quickened his eating pace.
Bai Shan said: "It's okay, he will be fine after a while."
Manbao said, "He has no manners, but I do. It's fine if he's rude to me, but why did he cut in line with me?"
Lu Yue, who was about to follow Zhao Liulang in, made a move. Even though he was not convinced, he could only wait silently for them to pass first.
After Liu Huan waited until they had finished their inspection, he drank two sips of soy milk, put the bamboo tube into Daji's hand, and hurried forward.
The guards turned a blind eye and pretended not to notice their misconduct, but the ministers who were about to enter the palace for the small court meeting saw it.
Minister Liu saw that his grandson, who had left early, was still lingering at the palace gate. Before he could get angry, he saw him eating something, and his cheeks were puffed up from eating.
It is very impolite to behave in public.
Minister Liu glared. Minister Li, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Minister Liu, teenagers in their teens are in their growth phase. Eating early is especially important. Don't mistreat the children."
Old Master Tang nodded, also very experienced. "Yes, I think the young master is still a little thin. He should eat more. Look at my Tang He. He has never lacked food since he was a child. That's why he has grown into such a tall and handsome man."
Minister Liu couldn't help but snort. Tang He had no shortage of food, but did their Liu family lack food?
The kid clearly had a basket of buns and a bowl of porridge for breakfast. How did he know that he could eat so much now and even looked like a starving ghost when he arrived at the palace gate?
After getting angry, Minister Liu couldn't help but feel distressed again. His face was tense, but he couldn't help blaming his wife in his heart. He felt that she did nothing all day and couldn't even take care of a child.
The child was so hungry, but no one would prepare more food for him. Even if we were in a hurry, we could make some snacks to take with us on the way or to the palace.
My grandson is so hungry, it must be because he doesn’t have enough oil and water.
Minister Li and Old Tang saw Minister Liu's face was gloomy and the fire in his eyes was about to burst out, so they stopped at that point, fearing that he would have a fit on the spot.
Liu Huan, who followed Bai Shan and the others into the palace, finished his meat pie and couldn't help but touch his bulging belly and said, "Manbao, your sister-in-law's meat pie is really delicious, and it's as good as the pancakes in Zhuangyuan Building. Why doesn't your restaurant have this pancake?"
"No?" Manbao tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Yes, I remember the menu ordered them for six coins each."
"Really? Then why didn't I smell this smell the last time I went there?"
Bai Shan smiled and said, "That was made by Zhou Liuge or Chef Zhang from the restaurant. It's different from what Zhou Dasao made."
Liu Huan said to Zhou Man seriously, "If your sister-in-law makes pancakes, her business will definitely be very good."
Manbao shook his head and said, "Whatever. It depends on whether my sister-in-law is happy or not."
She said, "It takes her half a day to prepare the steamed meat for the restaurant, and she still has to take care of the family. There's no end to making money in this world, so there's no need to do everything."
Bai Shan nodded in agreement, "I think it's good now. Otherwise, if my sister-in-law goes to the restaurant to cook, if she doesn't go there in the future, the restaurant's reputation will be ruined."
Now, apart from making some steamed meat or meatballs and sauces, she hardly interferes with the operation of the restaurant, and she does these things according to her mood.
He works when he is free and doesn't work when he is not. He is very casual. Zhouji gets along well with the surrounding shops and doesn't steal anyone's work.
Bai Shan said, "If my sister-in-law goes to the restaurant to make pancakes and fried pancakes, I'm afraid the pancake and breakfast vendors on the street will hate our restaurant."
Bai Erlang nodded, "We all ate meat, so we have to give them soup, right?"
Liu Huan said, "But I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also likes to eat it."
Man Bao waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "There are so many delicious foods in this palace. They like to eat them because it's rare to find something with this flavor. It's okay once or twice, but if you eat more, it's just like that."
She emphasized, "My family doesn't make meat pies very often. My eldest sister-in-law only makes them when we're going to the palace or going out. We usually make vegetarian pies."
See you tomorrow
