Lu Fengyu ignored him and still tried hard to reach another piece of pancake. Su Donglou was so angry that he slapped him twice again. This time he slapped him in anger with great force. Lu Fengyu was originally a weak scholar and could not bear the force. He cried "Aiya" and his body went limp, and he fell on Su Donglou's legs.
Lu Fengyu reacted quickly, and quickly climbed up using his hands and feet, angrily saying: "Is it that serious? I can eat whatever I want in my house? You almost slapped me to pieces with two slaps. It turns out that a warrior is a warrior. Even if he has a good appearance, he is still rude and barbaric." After saying that, he angrily returned to his seat and sat down, picked up the teacup and shouted: "Come on, send the guest away."
Su Donglou had been letting him scold him, and only now did he seem to come to his senses, his heart in a mess. Although it was mostly because he was upset because Lu Fengyu suddenly tested him today and he couldn't guess the other party's intention, it seemed that there were some other reasons besides this.
He took a deep look at the man who was still drinking tea angrily, and saw that his face was as gloomy as water, his eyebrows were drooping, and from this angle, he could just see his long eyelashes. The man became even more upset and walked out the door without saying a word.
After he left, Lu Fengyu's expression quickly returned to normal. He put the teacup on the table, propped up his chin and looked thoughtful. After a long while, he got up and went back to the dormitory. He opened the bedside drawer and pulled out a piece of paper. On it was a pattern in the shape of a chili pepper.
This was intelligence sent back by his confidant more than a month ago, saying that he accidentally discovered that the steward of the Marquis' Mansion sent by Duan Tingye to Jiangnan was secretly inquiring about this kind of thing. At that time, this was not a useful clue because it had nothing to do with the prince's cause, so he didn't care, just because this thing might be a food. Fang stuffed this piece of paper in the drawer and told the confidant not to pursue this matter anymore. Unexpectedly, by accident, this originally insignificant clue turned out to be a major discovery.
Are those two couples really Duan Tingxuan and his wife who is a good cook?
Lu Fengyu looked uncertain, with only this thought in his mind. He felt it was impossible for a moment. Let alone whether the prince and his wife would take risks alone. Even if they took risks, they couldn't pretend to be a poor couple so much. No. That was not at all like a couple. They were clearly an ordinary couple in the market. The husband was cautious and smart, a little greedy and afraid of his wife; the wife had a strong temper and would roar like a lion at any time. He saw all these two people. He would never associate them with such a noble man even if he was beaten to death.
However, after a while, he felt that Long Pingzhang had suddenly gone to Jiangnan before, and he was almost discovered by him. The couple that the prince arranged in Shenxianling, he died less than half a year ago. Duan Tingxuan and Su Mengnuan set off for Niutou Mountain, but no one has found their traces along the way until now, but they happened to be in Jiangnan. Such a couple appeared, and the cooking skills of the princess. Seriously speaking, although the taste is good, it may not be extraordinary, but her idea is really rare in the world. Although there is no lion head cream cake or the like, just based on the innovative combination of the snacks and dishes eaten in the past few days, I have been convinced and full of expectations for future food.
After sitting in the room for an unknown amount of time, Lu Fengyu suddenly stood up, lit the candle on the candlestick, and then moved the paper over to burn it. His hands were shaking and his expression was struggling, and it was obvious that he was still hesitant.
"Forget it. Even if it's that couple, as long as I tell the prince that there's no paper, he will definitely believe me. Humph! As long as I find a way to control them before they find out the clues and leave Jiangnan, it will be fine. Before that, since God sent them here, it means that I will enjoy these days of good food. No matter what, I'll eat first."
After making a decision, Lu Fengyu thought about it carefully again, and felt that everything was under control. Even the slippery Su Donglou could be used to test the other party's true intentions through these two people. In this way, he could enjoy the food and find out who Su Donglou was. He could also report the suspicious behavior of these people to the prince at the last minute. By then, he could easily achieve great success. It can be said that he had the best of three worlds.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel proud. He thought that this pepper was something Su Nuannuan had spent so much effort to find, so it must have countless wonderful benefits. Especially when he met the two people in the yard before, Liang Shou's words were simply trying to cover up the truth. What do you mean by strong taste? All delicacies have strong taste. Can those that don't have strong taste be called delicacies? That's pig food.
In fact, when Lu Fengyu saw the pepper, he didn't think of the paper. It was when he was talking to King Xiangyang that he suddenly got inspired. At this time, when he thought of the two strings of tempting red things, he felt his mouth watering, so he made a quick decision and immediately got up and went to the kitchen.
After looking around the kitchen from the door and not finding the two strings of peppers, Lu Fengyu quietly left and grabbed a maid in the kitchen to ask where the peppers were. When he heard that Su Nuannuan only brought a few to make the sauce and didn't bring the rest, he asked the maid to take him to the couple's residence and called the housekeeper to come and open the door.
After entering the house, I looked around and looked around for three times before I found the red pepper faintly visible behind the latte art. I sneered and thought to myself, are you hiding the good stuff to eat it alone, and then using that chili sauce to fool me? Hehe! You made a wrong calculation. When it comes to delicious food, I have always been very scheming. No one who wants to eat it under my nose can do it.
While thinking about it, he asked the steward to pick three or four peppers for him. After all, he still had to enjoy Su Nuannuan's delicious food. Lu Fengyu was afraid that if he took the pot with him, Madam Wang would be angry with him (== Do you think everyone is a super foodie like you?), so he only picked three or four.
After taking another look, he saw that the house was very simple. He guessed that if the couple were really spies, they would not dare to leave any evidence in the house. So he did not want to waste time searching, and quickly left the room, returning excitedly with a few peppers in his hand.
The afternoon passed quickly and it was dinner time in the blink of an eye.
This dinner looked very sumptuous. Su Nuannuan was busy all afternoon, making spicy beef sauce, mixing it with chili oil and sesame paste, and then arranging the hot pot. Various vegetables, meat slices and seafood were served on the table. But Lu Fengyu was sitting there, and for some reason, the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time. She was surprised and thought to herself, could it be that he suddenly got eczema? Hmm! His lips seemed redder than usual. Did he put on rouge? Impossible, I didn't see this guy have a hobby of pretending to be a woman.
Nowadays, when Lu Fengyu eats, Su Nuannuan must be by his side so that she can introduce him to the methods and names of various dishes, which makes the meal more interesting. But tonight, facing the hodgepodge hotpot that he had for the first time, he did not seem very interested, which surprised Su Nuannuan.
"Master, this is spicy beef sauce. I made it all afternoon..."
Su Nuannuan pointed at the bright red beef sauce in the small blue and white bowl in front of Lu Fengyu. This was her masterpiece. The young marquis, who had just been tortured by chili peppers, took only one bite and smacked his lips twice. He then quickly confirmed the dominant position of chili peppers in the future diet of the marquis' mansion and threw to the wind the words he had said about drawing a clear line between the two.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Fengyu heard this, he jumped up with a look of fear on his face. He pointed at the small bowl of beef sauce and said, "What did you say? Spicy beef sauce? Made with that chili? Take it away, take it away. I will never eat that again. What do you mean if you don't know the taste, you will live in vain? If I have to eat this every day while I am alive, I might as well die early and be reincarnated as an animal."
"Master, are you talking about chili?" Su Nuannuan's expression was no longer surprised, but rather strange: there was only one explanation for a greedy person like Lu Fengyu to say such a thing. Could it be that this idiot also ran to get a chili and threw it into his mouth? Imagine the elegant Lu Changshi rolling on the bed because of the spicy chili. What should she do if the picture was so beautiful that she couldn't help but laugh?
Sure enough, as soon as this question was asked, Lu Fengyu exploded, stood up and shouted: "That's it, that's it, that pepper, what the hell is that? The spiciness of it is so intense that it's going to rot my mouth, and mustard isn't that scary."
"Master, mustard is not scary because you know it is spicy, so you only dip a little bit each time. If you swallow a mustard as big as a pepper, can you imagine what that would be like?" Su Nuannuan explained seriously. She couldn't let her most beloved pepper suffer this injustice.
Lu Fengyu: ...
"No matter. I don't want to eat it now anyway." The super foodie boss was arrogant. In fact, his mouth had returned to normal now. After all, he spit out the chili after only two bites. Although he was unlucky like Duan Tingxuan and had to drink hot water afterwards, it was only extremely uncomfortable at the time. After drinking cold water, he felt nothing at all after this afternoon.
However, the mouth can recover, but the brain cannot forget the pain just because the wound has healed. Lu Fengyu had never suffered such a severe pain in his mouth in his life, and he had formed a natural fear of chili peppers in his heart, so no matter how much Su Nuannuan praised the beef sauce and dipping sauce, he was unwilling to repeat the same mistake.
The two were arguing when they heard someone outside report that Su Donglou was coming. Lu Fengyu was in a bad mood, and when he heard it, he raised his head and shouted, "What is he doing here? Get him out."
"Tsk tsk, how heartless. Didn't you say in the afternoon that you wanted me to come over for a banquet tonight and not leave until I'm drunk?" Before Lu Fengyu finished speaking, Su Donglou had already walked in with a laugh. He ignored Lu Fengyu's glare and sat down opposite him. Seeing the rich dishes on the table, he clapped his hands and smiled, "It's true that it's better to come at the right time than to come early. Do you want to eat hot pot? Good, good, I haven't eaten hot pot since Madam Wang left. I really miss the taste."
