When Yin'er heard that Yinzhi wanted to invite the imperial physician, his first reaction was naturally to stop him, but he was still carrying his ancestor on his back at the time. Yin'er was afraid that his loud voice would wake up his sixth brother and make his crime even more serious. He could only desperately wink at Dexi, hoping that he would understand what he meant and explain to his third brother that the imperial physician could not be invited.
"Third Master, my master is fine. He just fell asleep from the exhaustion of walking. Could you please find a place for my master to rest? It's not a good idea to let Ninth Master carry him like this all the time."
Yinzhi heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Dexi's words. As long as the person was alright, it was good. If anything happened to his Khan Ama's precious little creature in his garden, regardless of whether it was caused by him or not, he would definitely take the blame. Wasn't it just a matter of finding a place for Yinzuo to rest? That was easy. As long as Yinzuo was alright with carrying this ancestor, he would be willing to vacate Yinzhi's place.
"Old Nine, come with me... Let's put him on the couch first. Huyang, go get a blanket and cover your Sixth Master with it. The weather has been getting cold lately. If he doesn't cover himself with something, he might catch a cold when he wakes up."
With the help of his brother Yinzhi, Yinzhen carefully placed Yinzuo on the couch, then pulled over a pillow and patted it to use as a pillow for Yinzuo. After he had tidied himself and saw that his sixth brother was still asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Nine, do you really need to do that? Those who know this guy is your brother, but those who don't think you're his servant would think you're his family's servant. Look at him, he's doing both hard labor and attendant work, and his cautiousness is almost catching up with the palace maids serving in front of the emperor. What's wrong with your hand? Even if he wakes up, can he still eat you?..."
Yinzhi's voice was not loud but it was definitely not small either. Yin'er saw Yinzuo frowning on the bed and quickly raised his hand to pull Yinzhi away from him. He stood there and observed for a while, and when he saw that Yinzuo had no intention of waking up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was a close call, that was a close call. Fortunately, Sixth Brother was not woken up by Third Brother, otherwise I would have been in big trouble. Third Brother, you are a full man who does not know the hunger of a hungry man, and an elder brother who does not know the hardship of a younger brother. You think I am willing to serve you like this and kowtow to you, but there is nothing I can do. You are the elder brother, even if your mouth is as bad as mine, but Sixth Brother can't do anything to you. I am different. He is ruthless when he deals with me. I didn't control my broken mouth just now, and Sixth Brother beat me with a feather duster. If it weren't for your new cook who saved my life, I'm afraid I would still be beaten in Shufengxuan now. Third Brother, you have to let your cook show off his skills later. Maybe if Sixth Brother is happy, he will forgive me this living crime?"
All right, Yinzhi finally understood what he was talking about. He said, why did these two come to his place today? One of them was relying on him as a cook for life, and the other was relying on him as a cook for food? Okay, then let this new chef show him his skills, so that he would not have spent so much money to recruit him.
Hangzhou cuisine is mainly salty with a slight sweetness, and its symbolic characteristic is lightness, which is in line with the taste of people like Yinzhi who love elegance. If he were to eat it alone, he would definitely ask the kitchen to prepare some light and bland food. But today, with the two carnivores Yin'er and Yinzuo here, this meal is destined not to be elegant.
Dongpo pork, braised duck, fried shrimp, rock sugar turtle, braised meat with dried vegetables, Shaoxing drunken chicken, steamed pork with rice flour, West Lake vinegar fish... When the dishes were served last, the lightest one on the table was the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root.
Yinzuo slept so soundly that when he opened his eyes he learned that the meal was ready and he could enjoy it as soon as he woke up. He felt even better after that. Dexi helped him wash his face and hands, and then he went to the dining hall with Yinzhi and Yin'er to have his meal.
To be honest, after getting used to the salty and oily taste of northern cuisine, Yinzuo was not used to Hangzhou cuisine. But as the saying goes, no matter how good the delicacies from land and sea are, or how skilled the imperial chefs are, people will get tired of them after a long time. Occasionally trying different flavors is naturally a happy thing for Yinzuo.
Unlike Yinzuo, Yin'er didn't care whether the dishes on the table were to his taste or not. He had been staring at the West Lake Vinegar Fish since it was served, and his brows were almost twisted into a knot. After all, the black appearance didn't look like it would be delicious no matter how you looked at it.
Yin'er's behavior was so abnormal that Yinzhi couldn't pretend not to see it. He turned around and asked Yinzuo about it, and he was immediately amused. He stood up and brought the West Lake vinegar fish to Yin'er, then watched him eat with interest.
Seeing Yin'er staring at the fish for a long time without moving, Yinzuo couldn't help but stand up and walk towards him. When Yin'er saw his sixth brother coming, he quickly picked up the chopsticks. After mentally preparing himself for a long time, he forced himself to pick up the chopsticks and eat the dark West Lake vinegar fish.
"Hmm~~It's delicious, Third Brother, Sixth Brother, do you want to try it..."
Although Yinzhi usually likes to eat sour food, he himself does not like sour food. After the chef came, he never ordered the chef's specialty, West Lake Vinegar Fish. If Yinzuo and Yin'er had not come over today, the chef probably would not have had any chance to show off his family's unique skills.
When Yinzhi heard Yin'er say it was delicious, he couldn't help but pick up a little with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he nodded, indicating that it tasted good. Yinzuo looked at the two of them suspiciously, his expression as if to say, "Stop fooling me, you two." Although I haven't tried this famous West Lake Vinegar Fish myself, I have thousands of internet fans who have told us an indisputable fact through their own blood and tears: the reason why West Lake Vinegar Fish has not been lost is because of people like them who don't believe in superstition...
