Chapter 376: Apparent Calm
After a while, the screaming outside ended, and the beaten people were dragged directly back to the guest rooms by the guards for treatment, and most of them did not pay attention to it, continuing to enjoy the satiety and pleasure brought by the food.
Xue Jinyi looked at the shiny braised pork in the bowl, and the hand under the table pinched Pu Yangxuan's hand, after all, it would be embarrassing to always show affection in front of people?
After dinner, Ma Zhong and several other important officials stayed to discuss with Pu Yangxuan.
Xue Jinyi and Qinglan went to the kitchen to cook ginger soup.
Young Master Lou really asked someone to prepare brown sugar and ginger, and nodded to Xue Jinyi, who came here, "I was in the dining room before, and I almost caused an accident, and I ask the King of Chu and Princess Chu to forgive me." ”
After saying that, he bent down deeply, looking eager to nod directly on his forehead.
Xue Jinyi looked at the top of his hair and smiled: "The matter has passed, Master Lou doesn't have to worry about it." ”
"Princess Chu is really a good person." Young Master Lou was very moved.
"I'm going to cook ginger soup, Master Lou is busy with his own business." Xue Jinyi said.
When Master Lou heard this, he arched his hand and left with interest.
Xue Jinyi nodded to Qinglan, who carefully inspected all the ingredients.
"No problem, Princess."
"Let's get started." Xue Jinyi picked up the kitchen knife, and in the blink of an eye, a large piece of ginger had been cut into thin slices.
Qinglan said helplessly: "The slave has been doing things for so many years, and she is not as good as the princess." ”
"Just practice more."
Qinglan took the opportunity to pull over a basket of ginger, "So, let these be handed over to the slave maid to practice!" Princess, you can rest for a while, if you are tired, the king of Chu will not spare me. ”
Xue Jinyi said: "Cutting a few gingers can make me tired?" Do I have such a weak ......"
She touched her chin, as if she was struggling to think about something.
Qinglan hurriedly confessed, "The slave doesn't mean that!" Our princess is the most powerful, and the princess is the most admired person besides the eldest princess! And ah, the slave loves the princess the most......"
As she spoke, she smiled sweetly at Xue Jinyi.
Xue Jinyi saw her face in front of her, and took the opportunity to scratch her nose, "How much sugar did you eat, and your mouth was sweet like this." ”
"Does the princess like it?"
"I like it, I like it so much."
Xue Jinyi laughed and picked up a piece of ginger, "That'...... Wouldn't it be more fun to do the same thing with someone you like? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qinglan knew that she couldn't talk about Princess Chu, so she admitted it with a smile.
The master and servant laughed and happily slipped the ginger.
When it was almost cut, Pu Yangxuan came.
Xue Jinyi was surprised: "It was discussed so quickly?" ”
Pu Yangxuan smiled and said, "Because Ah Jin is here, there are not so many things?" ”
Xue Jinyi raised her head proudly, if it weren't for Qinglan beside her, looking at the red lips, Pu Yangxuan couldn't wait to go up and kiss her.
He saw some ginger left in the basket and took the kitchen knife from Xue Jinyi's hand, "Give it to me." ”
"Okay." Xue Jinyi beckoned to Shang Qinglan, "Let's scoop water into the pot, cut it and start cooking." ”
While scooping water, she watched Pu Yangxuan pick up a piece of ginger and gently throw it up, just when she thought she was going to see the scene of chopping vegetables in the cartoon, the ginger fell on the cutting board, and then she only felt that there seemed to be countless phantoms of hands in front of her, only to hear the sound of the tip of the knife hitting the cutting board, and when the sound fell, she stretched her neck to look at the cutting board.
The ginger still looked like a complete piece, but Pu Yangxuan gently spread it out with a flick of his hand, and the pieces were as thin as cicada wings.
"That's amazing!" She applauded with Qinglan, this sword technique is much more powerful than her, and she is worthy of being a person who practices martial arts, "I knew earlier, we should have kept it and waited for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to cut it, we can save a lot of effort." ”
Qinglan sighed: "But the princess is sympathetic to His Royal Highness the King of Chu's hard work, how can she bear it?" ”
"You." Xue Jinyi glared at her with a smile.
As he spoke, Pu Yangxuan quickly cut all the remaining ginger.
Xue Jinyi and Qinglan also scooped up the water, and directly put the ginger into the pot with cold water, and then Qinglan was in charge of the stove, and Xue Jinyi held a long-handled ladle and slowly stirred the ginger in the pot.
Pu Yangxuan glanced twice, walked behind her, held her hand, and stirred ginger water together.
Qinglan raised her eyes and looked, in the hot air, the two seemed to be a pair of fairy couples. She covered her mouth and smiled, lowered her head and continued to do things.
"Do you see anything out of the ordinary?" Xue Jinyi asked softly.
Pu Yangxuan said: "I can't say it, if you study it carefully, it is like the shadow of our cup bow and snake, and the grass and trees are all soldiers." ”
"But in the end, you have to be careful." Xue Jinyi frowned slightly.
Pu Yangxuan sighed: "It's always like this, not only is it physically unbearable, but the heart will also feel very tired, and it is more likely to make mistakes in judgment in the future." ”
Xue Jinyi smiled bitterly, "This trip is dangerous, and you can't be careful everywhere, it's really difficult...... Let's see what news I arrange for someone to send back. ”
"Okay." Pu Yangxuan said: "In addition, the owner of Lou Zhuang took in more than a dozen people, saying that they were seriously injured and couldn't walk, and arranged them in the front hall, some roads away from us, and I arranged for someone to take a look." ”
"That's right......" Xue Jinyi said: "His Royal Highness King Feng suddenly closed the city gate, which will inevitably catch many passing merchants off guard, so they can only find a way to go to a nearby farmhouse for a while, maybe if it is later, someone will knock on the door to spend the night." ”
"Well, the owner of Lou Zhuang seems to be a warm-hearted person, if those people are really pitiful, they will take them in, this village is mixed, not as peaceful as we came all the way to live in the post station."
"So, it's time to be more vigilant."
Pu Yangxuan let go of her hand, "I'll do it." ”
"Okay."
Xue Jinyi continued to boil the ginger soup, waited until the soup turned yellow, added some brown sugar, and then boiled some more work and it was done.
In fact, there is no secret recipe for cooking brown sugar ginger soup, but she doesn't want outsiders to interfere too much.
"This pot is for those people." Xue Jinyi took out a small paper bag from the bag, and then poured the medicinal powder into the ginger soup, "It's cold, damp and cold, and it's very easy to have diarrhea." ”
"Yes, Princess." Qinglan picked up the small pot, "The slave will watch them drink it with their own eyes." ”
Xue Jinyi smiled slightly, everyone had drunk this first wave of brown sugar ginger soup, and it successfully aroused the gluttony, and there was no discomfort after drinking it, but it was warm and comfortable.
So is it easy to be unresistant and defenseless against the second wave of brown sugar ginger soup?
As long as those few people drink this ginger soup, there will be a reason to dump them in Gyeongju tomorrow to reduce the risk of this peace trip.
