But if you have another bowl and you are full, it will not be delicious.
The waiter was shrewd. "Sir, we have some small dishes in the store. They are very delicious. The distinguished guests here like them very much. Would you like to try some?"
"Recommend one or two."
"Smoked fish with black bean sauce, sweet and sour spareribs, mixed pig ears, colorful mixed vegetables, seaweed peanuts, spicy pickled bamboo shoots..."
"Okay, okay, these are all snacks to go with the wine. I have something else to do this afternoon, so I can't drink much. Let's just have a plate of smoked fish and colorful mixed vegetables!"
"Okay, sir! I'll give you a small portion!" the waiter said enthusiastically.
Well, this energetic young man is quite thoughtful.
The dishes were served very quickly. They were small portions, and the plates were really small. We finished them in just a few chopsticks.
But it looks very appetizing, so I should have another bowl of noodles. If I have time tomorrow night, I will come again!
He was eating when he saw a woman passing by. Her figure, the way she walked... seemed strange yet familiar.
I've seen her before!
But where is it? What's wrong with me lately? Shaking his head, he put down his chopsticks and transferred the money. "Let's book a private room for tomorrow night!"
"Thank you for your patronage, sir..." The waiter was afraid that he would say more, so he said hesitantly, "Well... the private room upstairs will cost at least one hundred taels of silver."
"I know! I can afford it!"
Master Wen looked down on the waiter: "I just don't want to be fooled, it's not like I don't have money! Who do you look down on?"
"hey-hey……"
Wen Ruoqing walked out of the store and met a woman getting off a car at the small door of the dim sum shop.
When he saw it, he frowned, and his good mood was gone.
That was the path he had to take, and there was no way he could avoid it! So he walked forward without looking around.
The woman had sharp eyes and saw him at once. She came over quickly and said, "Father..."
He ignored me and just walked away.
The woman watched, feeling shy and helpless. Turning around, she saw a beggar sitting by the roadside, looking at her.
He couldn't help but get angry and said, "What are you looking at!? You stinky beggar!"
She entered the shop angrily.
This person is Wen Xianggui. She heard that there is a dim sum shop here, which tastes very good, is packaged very well, and is sold at a very high price.
I couldn't help but go and see it in person.
Once you enter the shop, two eyes are not enough.
She is considered an "expert" and has been involved in many new products in recent years. She is well-known in the industry. So, she thought she would be able to understand it after taking a look.
But what she saw was still beyond her knowledge.
Not to mention the taste, many of them were things she had never seen or thought of before.
Is it okay to spend so much effort on the appearance and sell it at such a high price?
Little did she know that these snacks were the result of a long discussion between Wen Yu, Yan Zhu, Master Qing, Madam Qi and others.
Each of these people has extraordinary knowledge.
Moreover, he made it clear that the guests he was going to face were the young ladies and wives from wealthy families, who were not short of money and liked to enjoy themselves.
Also, people try to curry favor with the rich and powerful by giving them rare gifts, or entertaining them at home to save face.
Then there are those who come directly to the store to drink tea and chat.
Wen Xianggui could never have imagined this.
She looked at everything carefully, including the packaging... and ignored the little girl's greeting.
Finally she said, "Please pack them for me. Please give me a portion of each type of packaging!"
The girl in the store was a little surprised: "Ma'am, are you packing it in a wooden box, a paper box, or wrapping it in paper?"
"I want them all! Can't I just pack them one at a time?!" she said sarcastically.
…
Wen Yu personally served the shrimp topping and soup, packed a bag of raw noodles, put them in a food box, and asked Laba to deliver it to Pingting.
Although this noodle is not expensive, it is really rare. Let her try it.
The prince had just returned home when his men told him that Laba had arrived and was waiting at the side door to see the general's concubine. "Why is she here again? Bringing food!?"
"Yes, I brought a big food box."
"I knew it! Let her get here!"
The man went out, and ended up meeting Qiu'er who was there to pick up Laba.
He said in an imposing manner: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered Laba to go over."
Qiu'er knew that the grandson was thinking about the food box, and she was unhappy, "Laba, you go over there, the queen is waiting for this thing, I will take it back first."
Laba was about to hand it over, but the man said, "Your Highness said that Laba and the items he holds should pass together!"
Qiu'er was so angry that she didn't know what to do, but she didn't dare to do anything and hurried back to report the news.
When the prince saw that Laba had arrived, he asked, "What food have you brought?"
"Your Highness, it's shrimp noodles. The lady said that although this noodle is not expensive, it is not easy to make. So make some for your Highness to try."
"Let the queen have a taste... Humph!" The prince said coldly: "Open it and let me see!"
Laba opened it obediently, and the prince took a look and said: "Sure enough, he just wanted to taste something new... Look how stingy he is!"
"Your Highness, these are two bowls of noodles!"
"Yes, the store sells it for ten taels of silver per serving! We can't even touch it and eat it!" Laba was also very greedy.
"Ten taels of silver! Humph, I knew she was Wen Baopi! Someone come..."
"Your Highness!" It turned out to be Jiang Pingting.
"Did you come here by smell?" He finally got the point back.
"I heard that Ah Yu brought the things that he sent to me to Your Highness, so I came to take a look!"
"I've been busy all afternoon and haven't had time to eat. She brought the noodles, which is perfect. I'll have some to fill my stomach first." He didn't beat around the bush.
"The kitchen must have prepared everything for Your Highness! If you want to eat it, it will be served right away. This fresh shrimp noodles... To be honest with Your Highness, I like shrimp the most. I wonder if Your Highness could give it to me instead?" Jiang Pingting didn't beat around the bush.
"No, I'm hungry. Hurry up and set up the charcoal stove and cook noodles!" he pressed firmly.
This is also where the prince stays on a daily basis.
The prince is afraid of the cold and prefers to eat hot food, so all kinds of things are available.
He gave an order, and in the blink of an eye, the copper pot was on fire.
Jiang Pingting was so angry, this guy was really...getting more and more shameless.
So, he sat down too.
"That's great. I'm hungry too. Let's eat together, Your Highness!"
"Jiang Pingting, you are not afraid of me at all, right?"
"Why do you say that, Your Highness?!"
"Why are you pretending to be confused?"
"What are you arguing about?!" A gentle voice, the prince has arrived.
Jiang Pingting stood up quickly.
The crown prince also jumped up and went to the door to greet him, "Father! You are back?"
"Um."
The crown prince personally took off the prince's cloak, "You're not cold, are you?!"
"It's not cold. What are you arguing with Pingting about?"
Jiang Pingting bowed with a smile, "Your Highness, Ah Yu brought me some shrimp noodles, and I was just about to share it with Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Fresh shrimp noodles?! What's so special about that?"
The prince asked and actually came over to take a look.
"It smells so good..."
"Father, this is shrimp. The imperial physician won't let you touch it."
The prince looked regretful and said, "I won't eat it, I'll just look at it..."
Jiang Pingting felt bad and said quickly, "Your Highness, please go back to my courtyard and cook..."
The prince said, "No need! Just eat here!"
The water boiled and the noodles were put into the pot.
"Wen Yu is a thoughtful girl. She even prepared the noodles."
“I heard that the noodles are made with dried shrimps and goose eggs!”
"Oh! How exquisite!"
As the noodles were put into the bowl, the prince said, "It's very flavorful... What a good name! It's a pity that I have been eating those tasteless foods for decades."
"Father, please don't..." The grandson looked at his father, who looked so anxious. He couldn't bear it, so he got a small bowl and put two shrimps and two noodles in it. "Please have a taste..."
"Your Highness!" Jiang Pingting was worried.
"Don't be afraid, just eat one bite. If everything is fine after eating it, eat two bites next time." The prince was very proud.
When the noodles entered my mouth, I savored them carefully and did not swallow them easily.
As a prince, there is nothing he cannot eat in this world. However, everything has its regrets, right? Even he is not immune to this.
Over there, the Crown Princess knew the news. Xue Ying was nearby and also heard it.
"What, feeding the prince shrimp?!" Xue Ying raised her eyebrows and screamed.
She has been very depressed these days.
The Crown Princess was her aunt, and she had always been extremely indulgent towards her. In the Eastern Palace, she could be said to have no scruples. Even if she killed the pregnant concubine, no one dared to say a word against her. Even the concubine's family did not dare to say anything.
But now, she had suffered so much injustice, and was "contradicted" by the concubine all day long. Not only did her aunt not make the decision for her, she also stopped her from making a fuss.
The grandson was even worse. He hadn't been to her house for who knows how many days. He didn't even come on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month! She was not satisfied and started to make a scene. The queen somehow found out and called the grandson to give him a lecture, and also criticized herself.
She was so angry that she just said two unpleasant words, but the Queen punished her to kneel for an hour...
It's so embarrassing!
Now I finally got the chance, "Mother, how can this be tolerated!? I'll go and take care of that bitch!"
She walked out.
Originally, the Crown Princess also felt that Jiang Pingting was too serious and too strong! She was just giving in to you, but you must know who is in charge of the East Palace.
But then I thought again, the prince has returned from the hot spring resort and he is much better...
"Come back!" She called the noisy Xue Ying back.
