518 Cooking, the taste of fireworks in the world (Second update)
Most people would feel somewhat uncomfortable being stared at like this, at least Feng Qingchen would. Back then in the carriage, wasn’t Feng Qingchen blushing and her heart beating fast because of the stare of the Ninth Prince? But the Ninth Prince?
Apart from glancing at Feng Qingchen at the beginning, the Ninth Prince did not make any other moves and ate his meal in a lukewarm manner, as if Feng Qingchen was air.
Of course, if you look closely, you will find that the Ninth Prince's eating movements are not as skillful as usual. There is a hint of stiffness and deliberateness, as if he is deliberately expressing something. Unfortunately, Feng Qingchen did not notice such a subtle difference.
Feng Qingchen was secretly annoyed. The silent words she had just said had made the Ninth Prince blush and his heart beat fast. There was no reason for him to look at him like that, and he didn't react at all.
Feng Qingchen was not convinced. She tilted her head and flirted with the Ninth Prince, with a sweet smile on her face. She looked as if watching the Ninth Prince eat was a very happy thing.
She just didn't believe it, and the Ninth Prince still didn't react.
Unfortunately, I don’t know whether the Ninth Prince misunderstood or Feng Qingchen’s glances were directed to the wrong person. Not only did the Ninth Prince not blush or panic, but his eating movements became more elegant, as if the food in the bowl was more attractive than Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen likes to watch him eat, so he eats slowly and lets Feng Qingchen watch enough!
The Ninth Prince ate a bowl of rice until it was full. When the Ninth Prince finished the bowl, Feng Qingchen was discouraged. He could no longer hold on with his hands and lay directly on the table. He said weakly, "Ninth Prince, is the food in the Beast Garden delicious?"
If you do this, I will misunderstand that you come here for the food in the zoo, not for me.
"Not bad. Why, it's not to your liking." The Ninth Prince looked at Feng Qingchen's empty bowl, quite puzzled. He saw Feng Qingchen eating very happily and quickly, so there was no reason for him not to like it.
"It's OK. I'm not picky about food." She didn't mind eating only compressed food for half a month. Why should she dislike this hot meal? She had trained her stomach to be invincible. As long as she could fill her stomach and replenish her energy, she would eat anything.
"Don't you have anything you particularly like to eat?" The Ninth Prince asked curiously, remembering a certain counselor's suggestion that in order to please a woman, one can work hard on clothing and food.
Feng Qingchen thought about it and shook his head decisively: "No."
"What about the ones that are particularly annoying?" The Ninth Prince was secretly happy. Very good, not caring about food and drink will enable one to be self-disciplined and self-controlled. Most importantly, he will be easy to raise.
"No." For her, food only has a difference in nutrition, not whether she likes it or not. However...
Feng Qingchen's eyes sparkled with light, and he suddenly became energetic. He raised his head and said expectantly, "Uncle Nine, tell me, if you can eat the food made by your sweetheart, will it be especially delicious?"
Food cooked by Feng Qingchen himself?
The Ninth Prince's eyes lit up, and he looked down at the table, imagining replacing all the food on the table with food made by Feng Qingchen, so that he would be able to eat it all.
The Ninth Prince secretly rejoiced and nodded repeatedly: "Affirmative."
Is Qingchen going to cook for him? The Ninth Prince found that his mood suddenly improved.
He didn't know yet that Feng Qingchen could cook. The Ninth Prince wished he could go back to the West District courtyard with Feng Qingchen right now and let Feng Qingchen wash her hands and make soup for him. He could still eat three more bowls of soup.
"If I could eat food cooked by my sweetheart, maybe I could eat two more bowls." Feng Qingchen looked at the Ninth Prince with a smile. The Ninth Prince was such a smart man, he should know the meaning of her words.
When Feng Qingchen thought of the scene of the Ninth Prince with a stern face, wearing an apron, standing in the kitchen washing and cutting, and cooking for her, she couldn't help but laugh.
The taste of fireworks in this world, I’m afraid the Ninth Prince has never known it.
"I will definitely finish it all." The Ninth Prince expressed his intention. No matter how much Feng Qingchen made or how it tasted, he would definitely finish it all.
Feng Qingchen was stunned. He wondered if the Ninth Prince had misunderstood him. Just as he was about to explain, the guard came to report, "Ninth Prince, Miss Feng, Miss Su Wan has woken up and is making a fuss. She said she wanted to see the Ninth Prince and Miss Feng."
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen smiled at each other and began their after-dinner entertainment.
"Let's go and take a look."
Thus, the discussion between Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince ended here. Afterwards, the Ninth Prince waited and waited in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, but did not receive the meal that Feng Qingchen had personally cooked. While he was angry, he secretly wondered if cooking was too difficult and Feng Qingchen had not learned it, so...
One day, the Ninth Prince personally visited the kitchen. Suddenly, there was a panic in the kitchen and the servants were all terrified. They wondered in their hearts whether there was something wrong with the food that the kitchen had recently sent out and whether it was not to the prince's taste.
As a result, the Ninth Prince simply said in a mysterious tone: "It's okay, you guys continue." and stood still.
The Ninth Prince thought that he would not get in the way by standing aside, but he didn't realize that because of his standing there, no one in the kitchen could concentrate. But the master had given the order, so they had to continue working, and they also couldn't let the master see them being lazy, so the cooks and the maids were trembling with anxiety as they washed and cut vegetables. They were very busy.
Everyone wanted to perform well, but because they were too nervous, they made mistakes again and again.
The cook who was washing vegetables accidentally scratched her hand with fish scales, dyeing the basin of water red. The Ninth Prince felt a pain in his heart, and thinking of the scene of Feng Qingchen's hand being scratched, he secretly decided that even if Feng Qingchen wanted to cook, she should not cook fish, so as not to hurt her hand.
The cook who was cutting vegetables wanted to show off her knife skills in front of the Ninth Prince, but she was too nervous and ended up cutting off her thumb. The Ninth Prince's eyes tightened. Feng Qingchen had to cook, and she couldn't be allowed to cut vegetables. She could only cook dishes that didn't require cutting.
The chef wanted to show off his cooking skills and wanted to let the Ninth Prince see him cooking in the fire. However, he got nervous and the fire was too big, so he burned his eyebrows.
Hmm... When the Ninth Prince thought of the scene of Feng Qingchen's eyebrows being burned, his whole body suddenly became alert. He turned around silently and left the kitchen.
Forget it, he’d better not let Feng Qingchen cook. The kitchen is too dangerous!
So much so that later, when Feng Qingchen explicitly or implicitly suggested countless times that she cook for her lover, the Ninth Prince either ignored him or changed the subject, making sure that Feng Qingchen would not plan to cook.
Feng Qingchen was furious, secretly cursing the Ninth Prince for being an idiot. She had made it so clear, why didn't the Ninth Prince make sense? Although a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, her requirements were not high. Even if the Ninth Prince went to the kitchen and made her a bowl of porridge, it would be fine. But seeing the Ninth Prince like this, she had no hope of eating the food cooked by the Ninth Prince in this life...
Before Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince approached, they heard Su Wan getting angry in the house and smashing things. Feng Qingchen was glad that this was a zoo and the furnishings in the room were very simple, otherwise Su Wan's smashing would have wasted a lot of silver.
"Bang..." A teapot hit the door and the tea splashed all over the Ninth Prince. Feng Qingchen was standing behind him and was sure that the Ninth Prince did it on purpose. With his skills, it was impossible for him to dodge.
As expected, as soon as the Ninth Prince walked in, he gave the order: "Capture her. Miss Su Wan is trying to assassinate me. Tie her up for me."
"How dare you? Let me go, Ninth Uncle. I didn't..." Su Wan was shocked and yelled, but the guards didn't care. They tied her up regardless of her struggles...
In the Beast Garden, the only one who can give orders is the Ninth Prince!
