Chapter 128 Snacks
After years of working in official circles, Ji Changqing knows very well that in order to win the favor of his superiors, he must not only be able to do things, but also be able to speak well.
Although your sweetheart is not your boss, he or she still has the word "superior" in his or her name, so you should treat him or her like a boss.
Therefore, after overthrowing the Guide Marquis Mansion, he specially went to the kitchen to prepare a salt-baked chicken, two pounds of salt-baked shrimps, and three pounds of salt-baked clams to feed a little fox.
After the little fox had eaten her fill, she would report Miss Fu Wu's anonymous slander against her, which she ignored and reported to the Guide Marquis' Mansion, causing the Guide Marquis' Mansion to be stripped of its title.
After he finished speaking, he earnestly warned: "The Fu family is in trouble, she should have no time to care about other things, but for safety reasons, you should bring more people with you when you go out."
Feng Qingsui is savoring the salt-baked chicken he made.
The chicken skin is crispy and tender, the chicken meat is juicy, and the aroma of sea salt seeps from the skin to the bones. Every bite is amazing.
I really want half another one.
However, one should be content with what one has. It’s good enough to be able to taste Ji Changqing’s cooking. Do you still want to order other dishes?
After hearing his words, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the empty plate.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Master."
Ji Changqing noticed her look and chuckled, "Not full?"
"I'm full, but I'm still a little greedy."
Feng Qingsui told the truth.
"Second Master's craftsmanship is excellent."
Ji Changqing's smile deepened: "Shall I bake you some chicken feet and chicken wings as snacks?"
Feng Qingsui: “!!!”
"Will this be too much trouble, Second Master?" She was flattered. "Second Master, do you have things to do tonight?"
Ji Changqing took a sip of tea.
"I have nothing to do tonight."
Even so, Feng Qingsui still felt uneasy.
"Something's wrong with Ji Changqing."
After returning to the courtyard, she said to Wuhua.
"He actually offered to make snacks for me."
Wuhua said, "Perhaps I have something to ask of you, but the situation is too difficult to open my mouth, so I want to please you first."
Feng Qingsui nodded: "I think so too."
I just don’t know what could have made Ji Changqing so embarrassed.
Could it be that he wanted her to save someone?
But even after she and Wuhua finished eating the salt-baked chicken feet and wings, and several days had passed, Ji Changqing did not make any requests.
Her heart slowly returned to its place.
"Maybe he's just thanking me for my support," she thought. "Just like Boya needed Zhong Ziqi, a chef needs someone who appreciates his food."
There are only a handful of people who have tasted Ji Changqing's cooking, and among them, Qi is his mother. Even if she praises him, he may think that it is a motherly look that cannot see any flaws in her child.
She was completely different.
My love for his cooking skills is pure and without any impurities; it is pure admiration from the heart.
Enough to be considered a close friend.
After realizing this, she never hesitated to praise Ji Changqing's dishes and praised them highly every time she ate them.
Ji Changqing benefited a lot from it at first.
Slowly, something felt wrong.
Why is the "official smell" of the little fox becoming stronger and stronger?
He treats the little fox as his boss, so why does the little fox also treat him as his boss?
What went wrong?
He was completely puzzled.
After court that day, Wuyi spoke to Shangguan Mu, "I have a friend who loves the food another friend cooks and always praises it. But the flattery seems a bit too strong. What do you think is the reason?"
Shangguan Mu couldn't tell which friend he was and asked, "What's the relationship between these two friends of yours?"
Ji Changqing: "...in-laws."
"Who is more senior between the two?"
"same generation."
"What about the official position?"
Ji Changqing frowned: "The cook has an official position, but the eater doesn't, but..."
He felt that he couldn't watch this. The little fox had never been in awe of status and position.
Shangguan Mu spread his hands and said, "Isn't that settled? One is an official, the other is a commoner. The official cooks for the commoner, how can the commoner not be respectful?"
Ji Changqing: “…”
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."
Shangguan Mu suddenly understood something: "Your friend who cooks doesn't want the person eating the food to respect him?"
Ji Changqing nodded.
"That's going to be difficult," Shangguan Mu sighed. "Marriage is about matching social status, but the same is true for friendships. It's hard to be open with people whose status is too different."
"After all, there are very few people like me in this world who can endure the harsh words of friends in higher positions even though they are in a lower position."
Ji Changqing: “…”
What was so frustrating about him that he came to discuss it with this person?
A certain Zhiwei person was completely unaware that someone was worried about her strong support, and was accompanying Qi to Baiyun Temple to burn incense.
Because they hadn't eaten vegetarian food here for a long time, they burned incense and had lunch here.
Then we set out on the return journey.
Qi felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in the car.
Feng Qingsui drank tea and read storybooks, and he didn't feel bored.
When the journey was almost halfway through, the donkey cart suddenly stopped.
She lifted the car curtain and saw two men in pursuit uniforms standing in front of the Mercedes-Benz, blocking the road with their hands outstretched.
One of them walked to the car window, took out his ID token from his pocket and showed it to her.
"Robbers have fled here, and the road ahead has been blocked. Please go to the Qiyun Temple in the right front to rest. Once we catch the robbers and unblock the road, we will send someone to notify you."
The pursuit commander's badge was specially made. Feng Qingsui had seen it before. It was the same as the token in this man's hand.
She nodded in agreement.
Wuhua then turned and went to Qiyun Temple.
Qi woke up, with a look of worry in her eyes: "There are mountains everywhere here, it will be difficult to catch people."
Feng Qingsui comforted him, "Second Master has sent people to secretly protect us, so even if we encounter robbers, we are not afraid."
Qi clasped her hands together.
"I hope I don't run into him."
The donkey cart traveled for about a quarter of an hour and arrived at Qiyun Temple.
The Qiyun Temple is not large, with only five courtyards, and is surrounded by plum trees.
There was a horse-drawn carriage parked in front of the temple. It must be the carriage of passers-by who were stopped by the Pursuit Division just like them.
Feng Qingsui helped Qi get out of the carriage and was about to go in when he saw the curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a familiar face.
"Old Madam Ji, Madam Ji, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Feng Qingsui searched his mind for a moment before he remembered that this was Miss Fu Wu, whom he had met in Taihe Garden.
Ji Changqing reminded her who to be careful of.
She narrowed her eyes slightly.
They began to doubt the purpose of the man who asked them to change the route.
Mrs. Qi didn't know what Fu Wu was doing, so she replied, "What a coincidence. Miss Fu is also coming back from burning incense at Baiyun Temple? I haven't run into her in the temple before."
Fu Ruoyu got out of the car and said with a smile, "I came to Qiyun Temple specifically. Things have been uneasy in the mansion lately, so my mother asked me to ask the Taoist priest to perform a ritual."
When Qi thought of the Fu family being stripped of their title, her heart skipped a beat.
Things like seizing titles and confiscating property have always been done by her son on orders, and the Fu family's affairs are probably no exception.
Miss Fu still didn't know how to hold a grudge against her own son.
Then he stopped talking.
Fu Ruoyu smiled slightly and walked towards the gate of the temple with her maid.
Feng Qingsui was suspicious and naturally did not want to linger. He said to Qi, "Mother, the robbers may have been caught. Let's go back to the main road."
Qi said hello.
The two turned around and were about to get in the car when a scream suddenly came from behind them: "What is that?!"
