Chapter 286: A little arrogant, easily controlled!
Seeing that Bi Honglang was unwilling to build the stage for her anymore, the damn little ancestor lowered her head and thought for a moment, then picked up the snacks she had brought from the table and ran towards Gu Ruizhou with a "click, click, click" sound.
Even without anyone throwing bricks at you, jade can still emerge on its own!
"Uncle~" Jiang Yingcheng tilted his head back, blinking his big eyes, looking very well-behaved, "This is Chengcheng's snack, for you!"
The first step to gain favor: Give gifts before the person arrives!
She stood on tiptoe, holding up the small plate, and wanted to pass the snack to Gu Ruizhou: "Uncle, please try it~"
Gu Ruizhou: “…”
He lowered his head and did not respond immediately.
Having served as an official for many years, he has his own ability to judge people.
The boy's eyes are innocent and clear, and you can tell at a glance that he is a child who grew up in love and has no scheming thoughts.
But this little kid seemed to be hostile to him. He had sensed it when he was settling the bill just now - during the meal, this little guy even looked up and glared at him several times.
Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Gu Ruizhou was alert, but he still raised his hand and picked the smallest piece of dessert from the plate: "Thank you, Chengcheng."
——He didn't want to take it, but Emperor Mingze was staring at him meaningfully behind him.
As a human being, the most important thing is to stay alive!
Seeing that the other party finally reached out to take it, Jiang Yingcheng, who felt that he had successfully improved the relationship, breathed a sigh of relief, tiptoed to put the plate on the table next to him, and warned Bi Honglang with his eyes not to eat it secretly.
Bi Honglang shrank his neck and moved a little to the side.
Jiang Yingcheng nodded like a little adult, and was very satisfied with this.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Gu Ruizhou in front of him.
She said crisply: "Uncle, Chengcheng thinks today's dishes are delicious. Uncle is amazing!"
The second step to win favor: Flattery never wears out!
Gu Ruizhou: “…”
Gu Ruizhou looked indifferent.
little liar.
He thought.
What delicacies are there in the palace?
How could this little guy think something so bland like this was delicious?!
He has been running the inn for so many years, and the reason why he has been able to sell the dishes in the store is all thanks to his good ability in naming.
Like what——
"White Jade Pearl Soup" is also called Lump Soup.
"High Mountain Pine Snow" is persimmons mixed with sugar.
"Sunrise at Sea", poached egg with two vegetable leaves.
Of course, the business in the restaurant is getting worse and worse, all because of the misleading name of the dish.
He would never treat this little guy like that just because of two unpleasant words.
"Especially the Golden Wind Jade Dew Soup," Jiang Yingcheng's expression was very intoxicated, "Wow——"
Gu Ruizhou looked away.
Fake.
The boy must have thought that the name of this soup was nice and memorable, so he singled it out for praise.
She must not really like this dish!
——Gu Ruizhou, who had a dream of being a chef but no one knew how to appreciate his dream, thought like this.
"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Ruizhou nodded slightly, his every move showing noble and cool elegance.
Jiang Yingcheng, who had found out which dish was cooked by Gu Ruizhou himself from the information found by 007, smiled sweetly: "Chengcheng really likes that soup, it has the right taste of sour and spicy, and the meatballs inside can even taste a bit crispy, and there is a slight sweet taste wrapped in it, wow——"
“Cheng Cheng has never eaten dishes with such rich flavors!”
Gu Ruizhou's fingers hanging at his side twitched unconsciously, and he nodded modestly: "Yeah."
She understands good food.
Gu Ruizhou tried his best to suppress the corners of his lips that kept trying to rise, and glanced at the young man with a sincere face.
How could such a young child know how to say something offensive to deceive others? !
She must be serious!
Then, he turned slightly on his tiptoes, and finally stopped giving the little guy a cold and hard look.
The ministers present felt sorry for the young man as he racked his brains to find words.
Strictly speaking, the description of a small family member is not wrong.
but--
The meatballs were obviously fried at an incorrect temperature; they were hard and sweet to the point of being slightly bitter.
The soup tasted moderately spicy and sour, and overall it wasn't too abrupt, but if you really want to know how delicious it was...
Hmm.
It's heartbreaking to see the little guy trying so hard to find words of praise.
Seeing that Gu Ruizhou's attitude had softened, the smile in Jiang Yingcheng's eyes became more genuine.
"Cheng Cheng thinks that a master chef with superb cooking skills like this should be promoted by someone. Uncle, have you ever considered opening a shop in the whole of Dari with this master's recipe?!"
Gu Ruizhou twitched his little finger fiercely, his face moved.
She understands me!
She is the person who appreciates food the most in the world!!
There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers!
She knows so much about food, what bad intentions could she have? !
Gu Ruizhou lowered his head and gave the young man a very friendly smile: "Tell me in detail?"
Jiang Yingcheng: “Hmmmm!!”
【A little bit of pride, easy to control! 】
Jiang Yanchuan: “…”
The courtiers present: "..."
Everyone looked at them with an expression of indescribable sadness as the two, one big and one small, walked hand in hand behind the counter, their heads touching as they thought about the future.
One smiles reservedly, the other smiles cunningly.
I just feel that the world has become magical.
The laughter between the two of them was very loud in this extremely quiet lobby, and it was also mixed with a few of the little guy's thoughts -
[Hehehe, hehehehehe~]
[How could there be an uncle in this world who doesn't like Cheng Cheng?! ]
[There are thousands of ways to win favor, there is always one that suits you!!]
The ministers also showed kind smiles on their faces.
How could anyone not like this little Cheng Cheng? !
If so, it must be the other party's problem!
Several people glanced at Bi Honglang vaguely, and the disdain in their eyes was self-evident.
Jiang Yingcheng felt very happy.
[When Uncle Gu rejoins the court and returns to a high position, he will become another important connection for Cheng Cheng in the court! ]
[Just like how Grandpa Wang personally used his connections to help Uncle Gu get the bodies of people who died in the fire, and helped Uncle Gu escape the golden cicada from its shell——]
【And Uncle Gu has been helping Grandpa Wang with his plans over the years! 】
[Cheng Cheng was the first to win Uncle Gu's favor. If someone wants to interfere with Cheng Cheng in the future, Uncle Gu will definitely not sit idly by! ! ]
Thinking of this, she secretly glared at Bi Honglang who was lowering his head.
I'm talking about you, you annoying bastard!
Jiang Yingcheng just glanced and then looked away, not noticing the strange looks that a group of court officials were giving Duke Wang.
Duke Wang, who had been unusually silent since entering the inn, raised the teacup on the table with trembling hands, trying to hide the guilt on his face by drinking the tea.
Halfway through drinking, he still felt it was not safe enough, so he immediately stood up from his seat, turned around and tried to escape under the pretext of having to pee!
"bite--"
Suddenly, from the most dangerous direction in the lobby came the crisp sound of cups hitting the table.
Lord Wang’s scalp tightened!
