Chapter 120 Recognition
"Pretty little brother!"
As he said that, he used his greasy claws to grab Li Yi.
After being called like this, Li Yi touched his head a little embarrassedly and dragged Lan Yin to the kitchen, asking about the little girl's recent situation.
Looking at the two people leaving, Xu Miaomiao shook her head helplessly and busied herself with the things in her hands.
"Madam Xu, let me see if there is anything delicious to eat."
After driving away a little glutton and seeing Nangong Jin, Xu Miaomiao thought in her heart that another big one had come.
Nangong Jin lifted the cover and saw the smoothie on the table and picked it up curiously: "What is this?"
"This is my homemade smoothie. It tastes really good. It's a pity that it's not allowed to be sold anymore."
Nangong took a spoon and scooped a mouthful into his mouth, still a little unbelievable: "Did you do this?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded, a little confused: "What's wrong?"
"It's so delicious and can help relieve the heat, why can't we sell it?"
"The county magistrate said that using ice cubes to cook food was against common sense, so he stopped us from selling it."
"What a shitty county magistrate!" Nangong Jin said disdainfully: "Take this and let the master have a taste. With his approval, I want to see who else will do this business with you!"
Xu Miaomiao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Yes, why didn't I think of that."
This method is a multiple-choice question. If it succeeds, it's fine, but if it fails, the risk is huge.
"So, Mr. Nangong, do you think I should present it or not?"
Xu Miaomiao asked tentatively.
Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows: "It is better to regret than to miss the opportunity to regret. Madam Xu can just give it a try."
With Nangong Jin's support, Xu Miaomiao decided to go all out. She arranged the smoothies in front of her neatly, garnished them with some mint leaves, and planned to serve them as an appetizer first.
"What is this?"
The man stroked his beard and looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked curiously.
"This is a smoothie, a new dish we developed. Let's just consider it a gift to you." Xu Miaomiao responded.
The man sitting on the main seat hadn't spoken yet, but Cheng Cheng's face darkened: "Could it be that this is made of ice?"
Xu Miaomiao explained: "It is made by making ice cubes into sand."
"How ridiculous!" Cheng Cheng said dissatisfiedly: "My master condescended to come to your place, and you just gave him a few small smoothies to send him away."
"If you don't try it, how do you know whether these are just for giving away!" Nangong Jin on the side said dissatisfiedly.
He held up a cup and put it in front of Cheng Cheng: "Master Cheng, have a taste!"
"You..." Cheng Cheng turned his head away angrily and refused to speak.
But how could Nangong Jin spoil him? He picked up the spoon and planned to feed him directly: "It seems that Master Cheng wants me to feed him."
“Hahahaha.” The man in the main seat laughed at the scene in front of him: “Nangong is still as naughty as before. Then Cheng Cheng, you can have a taste.”
Hearing the man's words, Cheng Cheng did not dare to refuse and put the smoothie in his mouth without saying anything.
The man also tasted it. The cool and novel taste made him linger. He couldn't help but take another spoonful. "How does it taste, Master Cheng?"
Cheng Cheng saluted with both hands and said, "Master, this thing tastes good."
The man laughed and said, "We think alike."
After hearing these four words, Xu Miaomiao's tense heart finally calmed down.
"Boss, please give us two more copies of this so that we who come from the capital can see it!" The man looked at Xu Miaomiao and said.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and said with some regret: "These are all the stocks we have. It's a pity that the county magistrate forbids them from being sold. I'm afraid I won't be able to taste them in the future."
"What!" Nangong Jin jumped down from the stool and looked at Xu Miaomiao excitedly: "Such delicious food is not allowed to be bought, is there any justice? Master, you have to take care of it."
"hehe."
Xu Miaomiao laughed out loud as she watched him acting.
The man in the main seat also frowned, and after a long while he spoke, "Don't worry about selling it. Nangong, you should go to the county magistrate's place. You can't let the delicacies developed by the people not be tasted by more people."
"Thank you, sir."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately bowed to the man in front of her to express her gratitude.
"What other delicious food do you have? Please bring it up quickly." The man said anxiously.
Following Xu Miaomiao's order, Xiao Si came in with the food in hand: "This is squirrel mandarin fish."
"This is the Lion-awakening Pastry and the Poria Cocos Paste..."
Although there are many delicious delicacies in the palace, the dishes that Xu Miaomiao will serve today are not available in this era, and she believes that they will definitely be appreciated.
As expected, everyone called her in after she had just tasted a few bites of the food in front of her. Xu Miaomiao stared at the words on her hand for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
"I heard that your child is studying under Nangong Jin. My son also stayed at your place when he came last time. Why don't you continue to run the restaurant?" the man asked Xu Miaomiao curiously.
Nangong Jin stepped forward and answered first: "Your Majesty, you don't know that this Madam Xu has her own ambitions. She wants to set up a shop where she can buy anything."
"Yes." The man nodded: "I have also seen those portable cakes of yours. If they can be used in military affairs, I think they will be of great convenience."
"Xu Miaomiao thanks the official for the gift of calligraphy."
Xu Miaomiao knelt on the ground and looked at the man.
"You are a very powerful young lady. I hope to see you in the capital someday."
"Don't worry, sir. I will!" Xu Miaomiao answered confidently.
Everyone was amused by her serious look.
"It's getting late. You guys can have fun while I go back to rest. I'm too old to do that."
The man walked out while talking.
Everyone saluted respectfully, and only after watching the man's carriage drive away did Xu Miaomiao breathe a sigh of relief.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. This saying is indeed true.
Just as the silence lasted for a while, a noisy voice was heard outside the door: "Where is the toilet?"
Following the sound, it was Cheng Yiji who had just been showing off. When he entered the toilet, Xu Miaomiao was waiting at the door with a stick in his hand.
Just as she opened the door and was about to leave, Xu Miaomiao blocked her back with a stick and she almost fell in.
"What are you doing, you business woman!"
"Since my young husband said that I am an unreasonable merchant woman, I will naturally be unreasonable for a while. You bullied my children and apprentices like that, I will definitely take revenge on you. If I don't let you, I will let you taste the smell of this toilet."
Cheng Yijie was stunned by her words, and quickly stepped back to look at the ground in panic: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't bully them."
"Oh?" Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao took the stick one step forward.
