Ji Rongjin was so frightened that she quickly stuffed it back, "Aunt Li, I can't help you. You should go back to the stall quickly. I...I'm going back first."

Aunt Li looked thin, but her hands were very strong. Ji Rongjin managed to escape and run away.

After the snow, the weather is cold, and the people at the bottom struggling to survive have rough skin with cracks and cracks, telling that life is not easy.

Aunt Li stared at the little girl's figure without moving for a long time. Although her face was sallow, her hands were tender and tender. She chuckled. As long as the lamp was blown, the feeling would be unmistakable.

When he turned around, his eyes flashed.

Ji Rongjin went to the grocery store again, made porridge and brought snacks, bought a bunch of food, and was able to stay at home for a while again.

When I returned home, the lady next door heard the door open and hurriedly came out and greeted her with a smile, "Ms. Ji is back!"

When Ji Rongjin first moved here, he sent food to the neighbors and said hello. He didn't move around much at all. He only met her occasionally at the door. He was not familiar with her. I can only say that when the government had something to do, he could know what the people living around looked like.

, that’s all.

Ji Rongjin smiled: "I'll bring the donkey in. Madam, please wait for me."

"No hurry, no hurry." Mrs. Han was waiting at the door. If the owner hadn't allowed her identity to be revealed, why would she have stood in the cold wind waiting for a yellow-faced girl.

There was someone waiting at the door. Ji Rongjin had no way to put away the things he had bought. He could only wait until he came back to do it. After tidying up, he looked at the makeup on his face in the mirror. It was yellow and waxy, but the makeup had not faded. He hurriedly

I came out and went next door with Aunt Han.

The food next door was rich, so Ji Rongjin briefly inquired about the owner's taste preferences, and then started to prepare six dishes and one soup, as well as some sweets and sweet drinks.

Someone started working on the ingredients, and the dinner was cooked very quickly. It was ready as soon as the oil lamp was turned on.

Ji Rongjin took off his apron and smiled at Aunt Han, "If nothing happens, I'll go back first."

"Ms. Ji, wait a minute." Han reached out and pressed her hand. After saying that, she turned around and went out.

King Yan Tao of Qi came back from the south for five days. He entered the palace, returned to the palace, met with his ministers, and caressed his subordinates. He didn't even have time to take a nap to wake up. In a rage, he somehow remembered the pot of mutton soup and came here.

A small villa where I am not satisfied with anything.

Six dishes and one soup were served on the table. The heat was rising, and the warm spring room was instantly filled with the aroma of the food, making everyone salivate.

"Your Majesty..." Kangtai cautiously stepped forward to invite someone.

Yan Tao put down the book in his hand and looked at the table not far away.

Kangtai quickly reported the name of the dish, "Master, there is boiled beef..."

Yan Tao's eyes fell on the dish called boiled beef. The dish was white, red, green, and yellow in four colors. The color was really appetizing, and his brows suddenly relaxed.

The mood for eating has come.

The master relaxed, and the servants also relaxed. Kangtai was happy to see it, "Master, Madam Ji said this dish should be eaten while it's hot to be strong enough, or..."

Yan Tao put down his book, walked to the table, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks elegantly.

Kangtai quickly arranged the dishes.

I came here for the mutton soup, but I didn't expect the boiled beef to be so unexpected. The soup was so oily that it was called boiled. Before Yan Tao had time to think about it, the beef in his mouth was tender, fragrant, and not oily.

It was greasy, especially the sour and spicy smell, which suddenly opened up his taste buds. The smell was so strong that within a few mouthfuls, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body.

It was refreshing and washed away the depression of returning to Beijing.

"reward."

"Yes, Master."

Kangtai also rewarded Ji Rongjin with ten taels of silver ingots.

Aunt Han happily took the silver ingot to the kitchen and said, "Ms. Ji, this is a reward from my master."

Ji Rongjin originally wanted to reject it, not out of politeness, but because she felt that the owner of the other courtyard had a high status. She wanted to leave some room for the future, but Aunt Han did not allow her to refuse and stuffed it into her arms, "I won't leave it."

You eat here, please don’t think I’m unkind, Mrs. Ji.”

"No, no..." The other party didn't give Ji Rongjin a chance to show favor, so she could only smile and leave the Noble Courtyard.

Aunt Han arrived at the front yard again, entered the wing quietly, stood not far from the table and replied, "Go back to your lord, let me start by telling you that I don't want any silver ingots."

Yan Tao glanced at Kang Tai.

He quickly said, "I've checked the safety, there's no problem."

"Get out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Aunt Han stood at the door of the wing with her husband. She glanced into the room and whispered: "The prince is enjoying his meal!"

Uncle Han nodded, "Just the smell is no worse than that of a big restaurant. I didn't expect that the little lady next door is so good at her craftsmanship."

Aunt Han was a little puzzled, "With such skills, I can just work as a cook in any house, and I can make a living in this life. Why do I sell bean sprouts so cheaply?"

"If the prince hadn't gone to the wrong door, who would have known she had such skills."

"Yes." Aunt Han was even more puzzled, "Why hide your clumsiness?" These days, craftsmen are very expensive. If Ji Rongjin hadn't bought the house first, Aunt Han would have suspected that she had ulterior motives in approaching the prince.

In the room, Yan Tao served several other dishes one by one. Boiled beef was the first dish. Although the other dishes were delicious, they were not as hearty as it. The last dish was sheep and scorpion, which I drank in heaven, but...

Kangtai's scalp tightened: "Ms. Ji said that today's sheep and scorpion soup will not be cooked for as long as that day, and the taste will be slightly worse... Your Majesty, if you don't know..."

"Forget it." He is not a man of oral sex either.

Coming to the other courtyard for half a day was just a half-day of leisure. Yan Tao's irritated heart calmed down, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let Wu Wei and others stop drinking and prostitutes to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Kangtai asked before turning around: "Sir, Mrs. Ji next door is fine. Do you want to hire her as a cook?"

The scene that day suddenly appeared in Yan Tao's mind - vulgar, money-obsessed, and rude.

"If you are a money-lover but don't want money, you don't need it," he said.

"Yes, I understand." Kangtai went out to do errands.

Ji Rongjin didn't know that he was being investigated. When he returned home, he quickly put away the ingredients in the basket, found the ingredients for the eight-treasure porridge, and put it into the large pot on the stove to cook.

After the water boiled, half-buried and half-burned firewood was placed in the stove, and the fire slowly simmered. After just one night, a pot of glutinous and sweet rice treasure porridge was ready.

As the night grew darker, Yan Tao left the courtyard for an appointment. Passing by the entrance of the courtyard, he subconsciously lifted the curtain and glanced at the closed courtyard. A dog barked from behind the door, "Woof, woof..."

Seeing the owner's interest, Kangtai quickly moved to the carriage and whispered, "I haven't been found to be related to any faction so far. He is innocent."

"Is it a woman or..." Yan Tao asked for some reason.

"Hui Ye, she is a young lady."

The car curtain cloth fell from the jointed fingers, and Yan Tao leaned back, closing his eyes and concentrating.
