Chapter 506: Can’t Eat for Free
"It's fine with me. We will spend most of our time in Prince Zhan's Mansion in the future. I'm fine with it here!" Caiyue said truthfully.
"That won't do. This is our real home after all."
"That's right, why don't we go in and take a closer look."
"Okay, see if there's anything else that needs to be changed. There's still time." Zeng Zhaoming said with a smile.
It was only after entering that Caiyue realized how much thought Zeng Zhaoming had put into this courtyard.
Not only was the yard kept in good order, he had also prepared everything they needed for their wedding.
That’s all?
But just now he was still saying things like it doesn't matter.
Thinking about it this way, I felt that I was doing something wrong.
"Zhao Ming, I'm sorry, I..."
"What are you sorry for?" Zeng Zhaoming asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Caiyue: “…”
The next day, Battle at the Prince's Mansion.
Early in the morning, Yu Mengqing got up early to prepare the ingredients.
Now Caixia is helping out at Zui Xiang Lou, so she still has to confirm these ingredients herself.
Caiyue is okay in other areas, but when it comes to food, she is really not the best.
"Miss, are you sure you need so many ingredients?" Caiyue asked in disbelief, looking at the rice paper in her hand.
Five sets of pig offal, fifteen pig trotters, and pork...
This adds up to over a hundred kilograms.
For a moment, Caiyue really didn't know what to say.
"Let's buy it according to this? This may not be enough." Yu Mengqing said with a smile.
These marinades can be kept for a long time, so prepare some more and they can satisfy their cravings over the next few days.
In fact, not only Guo Peiying and the others wanted to eat it, but Yu Mengqing herself was also greedy.
Caiyue thought about everything in Qinglin Village and immediately understood.
Suddenly I didn’t feel that these things were too much.
After Caiyue left, Yu Mengqing ordered people to go to the pond in the backyard to catch fish and shrimp.
Those greedy guys came here in person, how can we do without those things?
She had prepared all these things long ago. When she knew they were coming, she put the fish and shrimp needed for the day into the pond from the space the night before.
Seeing that her young lady had indeed said so, Caiyue did not ask any more questions and walked out with the list.
She herself knew that the brine would be more flavorful if it was soaked for a day or two.
So she had to come back as soon as possible. The sooner she came back, the longer the brine could soak.
Next, Yu Mengqing ordered the people in the kitchen to process the fish and shrimps that had been caught.
This time, she not only wants to make raw pickles, but also spicy hot pot.
The soup bases she made for them before were all ordinary, but people in Beijing also like spicy food, so she wanted to try spicy hot pot.
Since they are here, we certainly cannot let them eat for free.
At least she should be a guinea pig to see if this spicy hot pot is as popular in the capital as it is in the apocalypse.
"Princess, what are these..." Madam Jiang from the kitchen pointed at the ingredients in Yu Mengqing's hand and asked curiously.
"This is called Sichuan pepper. When you put it into the hot pot, it will give you a numbing feeling!" Yu Mengqing explained patiently.
"Do we need to prepare anything else?"
"Dried chili peppers, ginger, garlic..." Then, Yu Mengqing reported a list of ingredients, big and small, to Madam Jiang.
"So many?" Madam Jiang asked curiously.
"Well, go and prepare it! Oh, by the way, don't chop all the dried chilies. Cut half and leave the other half. Then put the whole thing in the bottom of the pot like this."
Yu Mengqing looked at Madam Jiang again and gave instructions.
"Oh, if it goes on like this, wouldn't it be spicy?"
For Madam Jiang and the others, putting the whole chili pepper in like this will definitely be much spicier than putting it in chopped pieces.
"No, on the contrary, it's not that spicy this way. And the peppers only look plentiful. Normally, they're just for seasoning, not for eating."
"Okay, Princess!" Madam Jiang said respectfully.
Seeing that everything had been explained, Yu Mengqing walked out contentedly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she saw Qiu rushing over.
"Oh, Princess, you are really here."
"Aunt Qiu, what are you doing..."
She looked at the sky and saw that it was daylight, but she thought it was a little too early for her to come.
I knew that Yu Mengqing had misunderstood me and thought that I came so early because I was thinking about eating.
So Qiu quickly explained, "Princess, don't misunderstand me. I just want to come to your kitchen to see what dishes you are planning to make and how to prepare them."
When it came to this, Qiu herself felt a little embarrassed.
Thinking that Xie Hongzhen and Huang Chunhua would come to her house in two days, Mrs. Qiu began to worry.
The main reason is that there are not many servants in their house now.
Besides, she is okay in other aspects, but her cooking skills are really terrible.
As a last resort, she could only come to Prince Zhan's mansion to learn from him.
After hearing what Qiu said, Yu Mengqing immediately looked enlightened.
"Then Aunt Qiu, please go in! They have just started now." Yu Mengqing said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Princess!"
When Yu Mengqing returned to the front yard again, Xue Zhonglan and Guo Peiying were already playing with the three children.
I looked at the time, it was only just now at 9:00!
This is quite early. Yu Mengqing was speechless.
In order to eat, I really tried my best.
"Mother..."
"Mother..."
"Mother..."
As soon as they saw Yu Mengqing, the three little guys ran towards her happily.
When she was still in the northwest, her three children all called her "mother".
But now that they had arrived in the capital, Yu Mengqing forced them to change the name.
There were so many people and so many gossips, and considering the military achievements of the couple, she didn't want to attract too much attention.
Hugging Chu Niansi tightly, Yu Mengqing waved to her two sons and said softly, "Are you tired from playing today?"
"Not tired! We all had a great time." Chu Nianhong spoke first.
The two of them seemed to have gotten used to the fact that their mother only hugged their younger sister and not them.
