Chapter 1013: Poisoned?
The way they eat it in Lancang is simple, either boiled or steamed, and the taste is bland.
They didn’t expect that the dishes in Zhongyuan Continent could be so varied and taste so delicious. It really broadened their horizons!
They all had a good impression of Jiang Lianzhu.
Jiang Lianzhu is also building up her reputation and waiting for news.

Princess Qingyun's Mansion.
backyard.
It was a little past dinner time, and the yard was a mess with food thrown out from the inner room.
Several servants stood in the yard, bending over to pick up the leftovers.
"What should I do? This new master is so stubborn! He only ate half a bowl of pumpkin porridge for breakfast and didn't eat anything at noon. He throws out whatever we send him!"
"The princess said that the new husband is too thin and needs to eat more to nourish himself. But if he keeps fasting like this, how can he grow well? It's hard to even keep his life..."
"It's not a complete hunger strike. Didn't I eat half a bowl of porridge this morning? It's just that I'm not from our Lancang Country, so I don't have the right appetite, and I have a bad temper..."
"The princess wants us to find a solution. If the new master dies of starvation, she might let us servants be buried with him!"
"I'm already thinking of a solution. We've sent people to various restaurants and even the kitchens of inns to look for Zhongyuan Continent cuisine. But what we've found isn't authentic! He still doesn't eat it and throws it away. If this continues, he'll starve to death sooner or later. No matter how much the princess loves him, he won't live long. How can he live without food?"
…
Everyone was worried.
At this time, a nimble servant came in from outside.
"I'm back. I'm back from Youfeng Inn. There's a person from Zhongyuan Continent in Youfeng Inn. He made some authentic Zhongyuan Continent dishes..."
People no longer believed it.
There are many people who claim to be able to cook Zhongyuan Continent cuisine, and some even say in a roundabout way that they are from Zhongyuan Continent.
The dishes that were cooked were thrown out in the same way.
"Hurry up and send it in! Stop wasting time!"
The steward was not optimistic, but the servant who came back was the last one sent out to buy food. If he didn't eat, he would be scolded and would have to find a way to get dinner.
"OK!"
The servant had long legs and ran very fast, and took the child into the inner room.
It was quiet in the inner room. There was an octagonal table at the entrance and a large screen next to it. The new master was lying on the couch behind the screen. There was no servant in the room and no one could get close to the new master. If they went in, they would be beaten and scolded.
"Master, Master...I'm here to bring you food!"
A voice came from inside, "Get out!"
The servant was trembling with fear.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you open the lunch box and then I'll leave. This time I'm really making something you like..."
He didn't finish the rest of the words, opened the lunch box and walked out.
I was afraid that if I walked too slowly, something would fall out.
As soon as the food box was opened, the aroma of sesame oil wafted out of the room, filling the entire room.
Suddenly, someone behind the screen said, "Stop!"
One of the servant's legs had already stepped out of the door, but when he heard the sound, he shrank back in fear.
"Master, do you have any instructions?"
"What dish did you send?"
"I think it was something like boiled spicy fish or something like vinegar spareribs. I can't remember exactly..."
Suddenly, a tall, thin man emerged from behind the screen. He quickly walked to the Eight Immortals Table, raised his chopsticks, and tasted the boiled spicy fish first...
There was a hint of ecstasy on his handsome face!
Then, he picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs and put them in his mouth...
In an instant, his eyes became moist.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you not used to the food? Why are you crying while eating? The smell is very pungent, could it be..."
Poisoned?
The servant has never tasted it, but he has tested the poison with a silver needle.
This new master is the princess's favorite. If he dies from food poisoning, ten of their heads will not be enough to compensate him.
Although they were looking for food everywhere, they were extremely cautious.
Could it be that there is some poison that even the silver needle can't detect?
The handsome young man wiped away his tears, sat in front of the table, and began to eat his food in big mouthfuls.
"It's delicious! Find the person who cooked it for me! I will only eat her cooking from now on!"
This scene shocked everyone in the yard!
After so many days, I finally saw my new master eating with such a good appetite. It was as if I had been hungry for so many days and finally found a meal that suited my appetite. It tasted so good! I couldn't help but drool.
The steward's eyes suddenly turned red. "Quick, go tell the princess that the master has eaten!"
"Yes!" Everyone else in the yard was also very excited.
Some people who ran fast had already rushed out to announce the good news.
The steward continued, "Invite this chef to the princess's residence immediately. We can negotiate the price..."
"yes!"

Because of Liao Jiu's cooperation and high comprehension, the tutor hired by Madam Hua only taught him for half a day, and he learned all the customs and etiquette of Lancang Country. He entered the mansion in the morning and was sent to Princess Qingyun's mansion in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Madam Hua gave some instructions and Liao Jiudu agreed.
The two people's goals are basically the same, there is no conflict, and they can still cooperate happily.
In the afternoon, Liao Jiu still sat in the crab sedan chair and entered Princess Qingyun's mansion through the back door.
The princess's mansion is very big. Liao Jiu was sent by the Hua family. Princess Qingyun likes men, and people often send men to her mansion. It is not uncommon. This is the first time that the Hua family has sent someone. The servants in the princess's mansion treat Liao Jiu very well. After all, the Hua family is a big family. The commander-in-chief of the royal legion is directly under the jurisdiction of Her Majesty the Queen in Lancang Kingdom. Compared with the princess's mansion, the commander-in-chief has more real power.
After all, Princess Qingyun can only be said to have strong personal strength and is the one with the greatest hope of ascending the throne.
Two servants came to the Hua Mansion to serve Liao Jiu. Of course, there was also suspicion that they were monitoring him.
Liao Jiu did not object.
Just as two more guides.
Liao Jiu was placed in the inner courtyard. Two servants went out to inquire about the situation and came back to discuss it with Liao Jiu.
"Right now, Princess Qingyun seems to be in the backyard, in the courtyard of that new husband from outside. Master, should we try our luck?"
Liao Jiu immediately stood up and said, "Let's go!"
What are you waiting for?
Should Lin Ziji go and find out what's going on? If not, there's no need for him to waste any more time here and he should retreat quickly.
Seeing Liao Jiu's fierceness, the other servant hesitated. "Master, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. How about we wait and see, or wait until the princess is free and come naturally? Wouldn't it be unreserved to go there rashly?"
Liao Jiu simply pulled off the black veil on his face. "Men from your Lancang country are all reserved. We outsiders don't like that. We are passionate and unrestrained. This is our specialty. Maybe your princess likes someone like me. Let's go and try our luck. Since we are here, we will meet sooner or later. It's better to meet sooner than later. Maybe Princess Qingyun and I are really destined to be together..."
