Chapter 638: Blessed with Lack of Fortune and Short Life



"Oh, okay, then I'll take my leave first!" Xiangping realized it later and returned to Sumu Zhai, ready to personally teach Xiaoyu some basic knife skills.

Xiaoyu couldn't help but give a thumbs up when she saw Miss Xiangping's knife skills. It was true that she was so young but had such great knife skills. Even a chef who had been in the kitchen for more than ten years would not be able to use a knife like this.

"Ms. Xiangping, you are so amazing. You can cut the potatoes into lines!" Xiaoyu couldn't imagine it. If her knife skills were half as good as hers, she wouldn't have to worry.

"Haha, I'm going to cook at Prince Guangping's mansion tomorrow night. You can come with me and help me. I'll let you experience what real delicacies are!"

Xiangping patted his chest proudly and said something to her.

"Is the Prince of Guangping's Palace going to hold a wedding banquet?" Xiaoyu asked curiously while absent-mindedly cutting potato shreds.

"It seems so. I heard that Princess Guangping is back."

"Princess?" Xiaoyu thought of Shangguan Yurou. Could it be that Sister Yurou didn't leave? "Why? Do you know her too? But I'm curious about the relationship between the owner of Huajianlou and the Guangping Palace. Do you know?"

Xiang Ping's curiosity was burning. Xiao Yu looked away and said, "How should I know? Although I worked as a cook in Hua Jian Lou for a while, there are some things I don't really understand..."

"Oh... so that's how it is." Xiang Ping nodded in sudden realization, thinking of that man, although he was missing arms and legs, he was many times braver than those men with all his limbs! "Then tell me about the story between the boss and his husband." Xiang Ping's focus today was not on teaching her cooking, but on asking about the gossip in Huajianlou. Xiaoyu looked at him with resistance, her eyebrows full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Why are you so concerned about this?"

"I'm just asking out of curiosity. Please don't take it to heart!" Xiangping didn't want anyone to see her flaw, so she made a bowl of pig's trotter and lotus soup for her grandfather and brought it to the dining table. Seeing her grandfather's bright expression, she felt happy too.

"Grandpa, this pig's trotter is from a suckling pig! This lotus is the dried lotus and lotus seeds I collected last year!"

Xiangping is always good at combining a variety of unrelated ingredients together to cook a delicious dish that will make people linger.

"You! You can't jump around every day. Grandpa has found a nice young man recently. How about you meet him some other day?"

Hu Laotao's ultimate wish is to see his granddaughter find someone she can rely on, but those men are all ordinary people who are eyeing his family's property. Not only are they evil-minded, but they are also hypocritical. It is not certain whether they can offend his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, can you please stop talking about those spoiling things during meal time? Besides, I'm so busy taking care of Sumu Zhai's affairs that I don't have the time to get to know anyone!" Xiangping muttered a few words in dissatisfaction. Hu Laotao shook his head helplessly and touched his beard.

"Xiangping, Xiangping, remember when your parents passed away, the only thing they were concerned about was your cooking skills. Your cooking skills are indeed amazing. At that time, many eunuchs wanted to persuade you to enter the palace to be a royal chef. But you just didn't want to."

Hu Laotao thought of the past and smiled. His granddaughter's temper was just like his! "Okay, Grandpa. I have to go to the Prince of Guangping's mansion to cook tomorrow. You don't have to worry about these things. Just wait for your granddaughter to return triumphantly!"

Xiangping urged him to finish the soup and then cleaned up the dishes. Gu Yunru also received an invitation to the Guangping Palace, and saw an envelope written by Yin Zu himself, saying that Shangguan Yurou had changed her mind.

"My dear, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" Rong Zhen had just finished coaxing Yaya to sleep when he saw her holding the envelope, looking dazed.

"Ancestor Yin. Let's take Yaya to Prince Guangping's Mansion for a gathering. They said that Shangguan Yurou has gone back, but I've been thinking about you and Shangguan Yurou. Do you think Shangguan Yurou has really forgotten you?" Gu Yunru's observation was very appropriate. Even Xiaoyu had improper thoughts about Rong Zhen, let alone Shangguan Yurou. She knew who had done Yin Yang and Huan San without asking. Some things were not said in person just to consider everyone's feelings.

"My lady, don't be confused. I have already made it clear to Shangguan Yurou. There is nothing between her and me..."

"That's what you said, but you'll meet each other sooner or later, right?" Gu Yunru felt indignant and always felt that some things were not finished.

"My wife, what do you want me to say? If you don't want me to meet Shangguan Yurou, then we won't go to the Guangping Palace. Just find a random reason to refuse."

Rong Zhen didn't want to see his embarrassed look, so he took the initiative to hand the envelope to the candle and burned it to ashes.

"Hey... I didn't say I wouldn't go. If I didn't go, wouldn't that prove that I'm guilty?" Gu Yunru didn't want anyone to see the flaw. Even if the meal wasn't very good, she had to go anyway! "Okay..."

The next morning, Xiangping took Xiaoyu and a few helpers to the kitchen of Prince Guangping's mansion to work. They used some very fresh ingredients.

"Xiao Yu, let the master test you. Do you know what the Manchu Han Banquet is?" Xiao Yu was cleaning the sand off seafood. When he heard the master suddenly ask him a question, he shook his head and said, "I only know about steamed lamb, braised duck, smoked chicken, and steamed pork with eight treasures. I've never heard of the others.

But the owner of Huajianlou knows everything. She even describes fried noodles with fish, stewed white steamed buns and three fresh delicacies. I have never heard of some of the names of the dishes. "

“In fact, these things are all the same in essence, they are nothing more than using various methods to make delicious things from things that fly in the sky and run on the ground.

But I think the Prince of Guangping must have eaten everything. Not to mention the Manchu-Han Banquet, even cuisines from all over the country are a piece of cake for these people. "

"So what are you going to do, Master?"

"You'll know when the time comes!" Xiangping kept the secret, and Xiaoyu hung his head in disappointment.

When Gu Yunru arrived in front of the Prince of Guangping's mansion, she felt a little irregular in her heart. Seeing Rong Zhen's carefree and natural appearance, she knew that he had no guilt in his heart. Why was his heart beating so fast? It wasn't her who did the bad thing...
