The girl has a pair of bright and lively eyes.
Like the brightest morning star, full of hope.
That kind of beauty always makes people want to get closer like moths to a flame, but also gives people the urge to destroy it.
Su Jingxing's gaze towards her seemed calm, but anyone in the mansion could feel that something was different.
Otherwise, Jiuer would not be able to enter the Su Mansion.
"Su Jingxing~" Jiuer waved her hand in front of him through the window.
Su Jingxing lowered his eyes, "Miss Jiu."
"It's me." Jiuer smiled.
Then he leaned over and asked him, "Why haven't you been to Yishu Bookstore these few days? I looked at you eagerly every day, but you never came."
In the distance, the shadow guards in the dark gritted their teeth in indignation for their master.
I snorted in my heart.
This Miss Jiu abandoned her master halfway, and now she is the first to complain.
Su Jingxing looked at her, "Miss Jiu, you know where I live. If you want to see me, why don't you come here yourself?"
Jiuer was stunned for a moment, then she smiled even more happily with her eyes curved.
"Su Jingxing, are you blaming me for being late?"
She leaned over the windowsill and said, "If I had known you missed me, I would have put everything aside to see you."
Shadow Guard: "..."
Miss Jiu, you really don’t know what being reserved and shy is!
"..." Su Jingxing moved his lips, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Jiu'er's eyes curved as she asked, "You are also going to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, right?"
"I just came to tell you that I will go. If you mention the matter between you and the Tenth Princess and need me, I will definitely stand up and testify for you."
Su Jingxing paused for a moment, "The palace is different from other places. I appreciate Miss Jiu's kindness."
Jiuer smiled even brighter, "You are worried about me."
Su Jingxing was stunned and simply sat down again and started reading.
Jiuer was half lying on the windowsill, supporting her head with her hands, looking at him with interest.
The shadow guards in the dark were speechless again.
Miss Jiu, you are too straightforward!
What's even more speechless is that Su Jingxing was reading a book, and Jiuer was right beside him, watching Su Jingxing without making any noise or making any noise.
It was not until lunch time that Jiuer, who was eating for free, discovered that Su Jingxing ate very little.
Jiuer said, "Su Jingxing, you eat so little. Do you have a poor appetite?"
She was a little anxious. "It is the most basic thing for a person to eat well. Anyone who can eat well will be healthy. Otherwise, no matter how good the body is, it will not last long..."
Then she smiled brightly, "Don't look at me like this, actually what I cook is delicious. I cook it for you~ maybe if I change the taste, you will have an appetite."
Jiuer did what she said and found someone from her own home to take her to the kitchen.
The people in the kitchen were also well-trained, but when they saw Jiuer come in, they were still a little surprised and didn't know what to do with her.
Jiu Er asked in a good-tempered manner without any airs, "Excuse me, what kind of food does Su Jingxing usually prefer?"
The people in the kitchen finally came to their senses. Is Miss Jiu going to cook for the master?
Seeing her picking out ingredients back and forth, the head chef stepped forward and gently reminded her, "Miss Jiu, our master doesn't eat much meat and prefers light dishes..."
Jiuer nodded and commented seriously, "Although eating light food is good for health, if you eat light food for a long time and don't eat meat, you will lose your appetite and it will be bad for your health."
Having said that.
The cook was still shocked to see that she chose a chicken that was neither too big nor too small.
"Miss Jiu, what are you doing..."
"You'll know in a moment. This dish is actually quite simple. But I have the ability to turn a simple recipe into something extremely delicious~" Must be proud.
The cook wanted to stop him, saying that the master would not eat the chicken no matter how it was cooked.
The reason why there is a kitchen is because other people in the house need to eat.
Seeing how excited Jiuer was, the cook couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm.
The chicken was well-prepared and looked the freshest.
This also saved Jiuer a lot of trouble.
The cook had not had much hope for Jiu'er. Even if this tender, fair, and beautiful girl had learned some cooking skills, she would not be very...
Just as the cook had this thought, she saw Jiuer performing various movements skillfully, so neatly and efficiently.
You can tell at first glance that he is a real expert!
And soon the knowledgeable cook knew what Jiuer was doing.
"Beggar's Chicken"!
This practice is also popular in some places, but people like the Su family don't eat it. The nobles would never use this method.
The main reason is that the name doesn’t sound very nice.
The process wasn’t very pleasant either.
After Jiuer buried the wrapped chicken in the ground and had someone start a fire on it, the cook couldn't help but be curious while waiting.
"Miss Jiu, your method of cooking this...chicken is indeed a little different."
"This is an improvement. It's normal that it's different from most methods in the world."
The cook is not young anymore and has worked in the Su Mansion for many years.
I have deep feelings for my master Su Jingxing.
Seeing Jiuer's appearance and personality now, it is mainly because the young master is special to her and likes her even more.
So I started chatting with her.
"Miss Jiu is so young, yet she cooks so neatly and efficiently. She's amazing."
Jiuer smiled at her brightly and said casually, "It's nothing. Some people in my family are very picky eaters, so I learned it slowly to coax them to eat."
The cook said lovingly, "But what about Miss Jiu's elders? Miss Jiu is really filial."
elder?
Two blurry figures flashed through Jiuer's mind, and the smile on her face froze.
"That should be it."
Seeing that she was suddenly in a bad mood, the cook immediately changed the subject.
About an hour later, Jiuer had a thin layer of sweat on her face because she insisted on controlling the heat herself.
Finally, Jiuer announced, "It's almost done~"
With the help of the cook, when the beggar's chicken wrapped in lotus leaves was dug out and the mud shell was cracked open, a fragrant aroma that went straight into people's lungs emerged.
The shadow guards in the dark all swallowed their saliva.
How come this smell is so much better than the roasted chicken or grilled chicken they usually eat? Damn!
They all did the same, and seeing the results with their own eyes, the professional cook was shocked again.
"This... Miss Jiu, this smells so good!"
"Delicious, right? Your master should be able to have an appetite. This is fragrant and not greasy."
"This..." The cook was a little embarrassed.
"Miss Jiu, our master doesn't usually eat this. He has never eaten... beggar's chicken. But since it was made by you, Miss Jiu, the master might want to try it."
Jiuer looked at her with amusement, "Auntie, your Su Mansion is so big, how can you be just like everyone else? There's nothing wrong with calling out the three words 'Beggar's Chicken'."
