Chapter 44: Picking a Bone in an Egg

It's a red-and-green steamed mandarin fish dish with a fragrant broth and garnished with red peppers and shallots, making it a pleasing sight to look at, with a hint of steam. Luo Qingluan gently pinched some of the meat in the fish maw with chopsticks, sent it to his lips and tasted it, and sure enough, he frowned again.

"Hmm...... It's fishy. ”

As if she had eaten it hard, she glanced at Nangong Qing, who was already a little embarrassed, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid this fish is not fresh, it's a little ...... Forget it, don't eat it, it doesn't taste very good. ”

Looking at her expression, she only ate one chopstick and didn't want to taste it again, where is the 'taste not very good'? I'm afraid it's quite unpalatable! Listening to the shopkeeper Qiao, sweat broke out.

His face sank, and Nangong Qing was angry: "Shopkeeper Qiao, it's just that one dish is wrong, and now you can't eat the second dish, do you want me to tear down the signboard?" ”

The first time he invited his favorite girl to enjoy the meal, it was like this, where did he put his dignified Royal Highness the Prince's face? I used to think that the things in the Yueyue Building were good, but now it seems that ...... If it is a big thing for him, he must demolish this building!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, and the little people don't dare to mess around if they have the audacity. It's really the ingredients we just arrived this morning, and the chef has prepared them with great care...... How could it be...... How could it be ......" Shopkeeper Qiao was about to cry, trembling with fright.

"Forget it, His Royal Highness the Prince, there are so many dishes here, it's not all bad." Luo Qingluan smiled reluctantly, pretending not to care, and simply let the shopkeeper Qiao go down, and she would talk about it later, Nangong Qing was angry at him again.

"Don't get out of here!" Nangong Qing shouted.

"Yes, yes." If he was amnesty, the shopkeeper Qiao retreated.

When there were only the two of them in the private room, Nangong Qing changed his face and laughed: "Miss Luo, don't be reluctant if it's not delicious, try something else." I've been to this palace before, and I think it's okay, but why ...... today?"

In order to avoid further problems, he simply tried it first, looked at more than ten dishes around, Nangong Qing tasted a chopsticks tea fragrant chicken, and thought it was not bad, before he said to Luo Qingluan: "Miss Luo, this dish is also the signature dish of Invite Yuelou, I have no problem eating it, it melts in the mouth, it is tender and delicious, can you taste it?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "I have already tasted it, I promise that there will be no problems, you will definitely like it." ”

It's really apprehensive, Nangong Qing hasn't felt like this for a long time.

How had he ever been like this before? Even if he is really with those women who admire him, no matter what he does, he is always calm and calm. This time is very different, maybe he really cares, and the two accidents just now, he is really worried that he will not be able to leave a good impression on Luo Qingluan.

The first time I ate with her, I was not satisfied, so why talk about it later?

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that it is good, it must be good." Luo Qingluan casually agreed, she was deliberately provocative, how could she not find an excuse? After only one bite, she didn't say anything bad, but she shook her head and sighed.

Nangong Qing's heartbeat is about to stop, what's wrong? He's eaten it first, no problem!

"Luo, Miss Luo, but ...... But what's the problem? "If it's really wrong, he just wants people to smash this Invite Yue Tower! Damn, doesn't he just want to treat the woman he likes to dinner? Actually......

Anger couldn't help but come out again, but Shopkeeper Qiao was not there, so he couldn't get angry, Nangong Qing could only endure it, and his face was full of smiles.

Luo Qingluan wrung her brows, hesitated for a moment before she said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited me to dinner, I should have thanked me, but I just ......" She smiled apologetically, as if she was very regretful: "Your Highness praised Yingyue Tower so much before, maybe I was looking forward to it too much." In fact, these dishes, if they are changed to another house, are not bad, but it's a pity ......"

"That's the saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

sighed lightly, there was a hint of obscurity on his fair and delicate face, as if the clouds covered the moon, and he couldn't see a smile anymore, which suddenly made Nangong Qing very embarrassed and blamed himself.

Picking up a piece of tea-flavored chicken, Luo Qingluan said lightly: "A truly delicious tea-flavored chicken, whether it is tea or the choice of chicken, is crucial. If you choose some ordinary tea, or a chicken that has been raised for two or three years, the taste will definitely be different. ”

"Tea, you have to choose the new tea just sent out in March, as long as the tip of the bud is so sliced, fried and baked, and then boiled with the best snow mountain water to make tea soup. As for this chicken, it is not good for more than a year, it is best to cook it with this tea soup for about ten months, and soak all the tea aroma in the chicken. ”

While speaking, Luo Qingluan looked at Nangong Qing, who was already a little surprised, and his face did not change at all, as if he was talking about the most ordinary thing. The red lips are lightly opened, like a capable person who has tasted all the food.

"It's just that steaming the chicken like this is just the first step, and when it's time to put it on the plate, you have to use a knife to debone and slice the chicken. The slice is only one inch and three minutes in size, the thickness is uniform, and if it is thick, it cannot be tasted, and if it is thin, it tastes bad. Your Royal Highness the Prince, you see, this plate of lotus chicken is cut into pieces and has not been deboned. Eating like this is not only troublesome, but also not elegant, and it is already inferior. As for the most crucial dipping soup, alas...... If you really want to pay attention to it, this lotus fragrant chicken is really unacceptable, and it is even invited to Yuelou as a signature dish to publicize. ”

"And this." With that, she pointed to a plate of pearl fruit on the other table.

"This dessert looks good in color, snow-white lychee, bright red watermelon, orange and yellow peach flesh, and it is really pleasing to the eye. However, the chef is not a doctor, and he does not understand the warmth and heat of lychee meat, which is not suitable for pairing with cold watermelon. As for this peach, the medical book says: Eating too much makes people bloating and sores, which is harmful and unhelpful, and it is even more inappropriate for pregnant women. So, looking at a small plate of desserts is not suitable for every guest. ”

With a long sigh, Luo Qingluan put down his chopsticks, looking like he was not interested in eating.

Hearing the words, Nangong Qing was embarrassed and amazed.

is ashamed, because he is so identical, he can't satisfy the other party even when he has a treat, not only is he not good at eating, but he is also picked out so much by a young girl. The problem really damaged his prince's face.

As for the exclamation......

Nangong Qing has never seen anyone who can be so particular about food, every step and every point is transparent and detailed, and it is not comparable to ordinary people at all. Before, he saw Luo Qingluan say that the dishes in Invite Yuelou were not delicious, and thought she was a little picky, but he didn't expect her to be so proficient in food!

A person who has already tasted good food, and then let her eat those ordinary things, will naturally be picky. Tasting is different from satisfying, he invited her to dinner, naturally hoping to satisfy her, to find the best place, the best food. But Luo Qingluan obviously didn't look at it, listening to what she just said so much, he was afraid that the imperial chefs he usually ate in the palace were just rubbish.

Such a beautiful woman is really rare to see!

thought that she just had a good personality, bold and atmospheric, and not pretentious at all, which aroused his interest. Who knew that the second time he heard her piano, Nangong Qing became a celestial. only to find out that Luo Qingluan is suitable for movement and quiet, movement is like taking off a rabbit, and being quiet like a virgin, which simply makes him fall in love with goodbye.

But when I really got along with her alone, I realized that I was still shallow. She is good, her beauty, he didn't find much at all, Luo Qingluan is like a cup of fragrant tea, the first sip is fragrant and sweet, the second sip has a long aftertaste, and the third sip is endless, so that it is difficult to give up, making him regard it as a treasure.

Such a precious woman, how can he not like it, how can he not be moved?

"Miss Luo is really insightful, listening to your words today really opened my eyes." Nangong Qing held back his heartbeat and said with some embarrassment: "I have never seen someone who understands so much like Miss Luo, but she is not arrogant or impatient, and she doesn't like fame." I rashly invited Miss Luo to dinner today, it seems that I was indeed abrupt. ”

Slowly getting up, Luo Qingluan blessed Fu Cai and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to blame himself, it's just that I'm too picky." After coming out today and delaying for so long, I was afraid that my aunt and father would be worried, so I had to say goodbye. ”

"This ......"

I wanted to keep her for a more conversation, but Nangong Qing was worried that if Luo Qingluan said something he didn't know, he wouldn't be able to answer the call. Just think about it, it's a shame and a big shame today, where can I find an excuse to get along with her more?

There was no way, Nangong Qing could only send Luo Qingluan downstairs and send someone to send her back to the General's Mansion in a carriage.

When he returned to his room, Luo Qingluan returned to normal.

"My God, I'm tired to death, pretending to be a lady is really tied, it's so painful." She couldn't even speak out loud just now, and although she was already very impatient, she still had to pretend to be gentle, racking her brains to say those critical words.

If it weren't for the deliberate elegance and exquisiteness, I'm afraid that Nangong Qing would still think that she was really picking trouble and looking down on his status as a prince, in case it aroused his anger, it would be miserable to deliberately find trouble like the third princess.

It's not that she's scared, she just doesn't have time to deal with those boring people.

If you let Nangong Qing know that she is regarded as a boring person by Luo Qingluan, she is afraid that she will not be able to cry or laugh. Thinking of his dignified Royal Highness the Prince, which woman in the capital doesn't want to marry him? It was ignored by someone.

It seems that Wang Xueru was also frightened by Luo Qingluan's actions in the palace today, and did not come to trouble her, just rested in the house, and wrote and painted in the afternoon. After having dinner with Dai Yue in the evening, Luo Qingluan went back to the room to put away the new story he had just written, and was going to find a time to go to Boss Li's.

As soon as he hid his things, Luo Qingluan felt something, as if there was a sound coming from outside the courtyard.

It's all going to be, it's almost time to rest, who else is making trouble outside? And the house has always been very strictly controlled by Mrs. Wang Xueru, no one dares to make noise at will, whose voice will this be?

Called Dai Yue to ask, and only then did she know the reason.

Wang Xueru didn't have time to trouble her, but she was stunned, and she got angry when she caught a girl, which would punish the girl in the bedroom, making the general's mansion noisy in the middle of the night.

"Isn't she usually the most exquisite, why is she so late today and still angry? Aren't you afraid of wrinkles on your face? Luo Qingluan smiled slightly and said, "Daiyue, you secretly go and see what's going on." ”
