Chapter 22 Stewed White Fungus with Peach Gum

"There are small flying insects. Do you want me to put down the screen?"

After taking a closer look, it turned out that there was indeed one. Ji Rongjin nodded and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, ma'am."

"Jin Niang is always so polite." Aunt Guo reached for the rolled up screen window and blocked her unnatural expression with her arm.

Ji Rongjin didn't notice Aunt Guo's little movements. She smiled slightly and continued to lower her head and write and draw on the paper. "By the way, Auntie, help me get a bowl of peach gum stewed with white fungus to cool down. I want to eat it later."

"Okay, sir...I'll be right back."

Aunt Guo realized that the young lady hadn't noticed, so she secretly patted her heart and went to the kitchen to serve peach gum and white fungus.

The next day, Ji Rongjin did not go out. Shitou brought her news that His Royal Highness King Qi would come to Osmanthus Alley in the afternoon. At around ten o'clock in the morning, she was called by Aunt Han to take a break for lunch.

Didn’t you say you would come in the afternoon? You still have to prepare food? Is it because she can’t tell the difference between noon and afternoon?

Thinking of the content of the afternoon appointment, Ji Rongjin immediately put away his reluctance and treated His Highness King Qi as his thigh. This time, he prepared three dishes, one soup and one meal for him, which was simple and nutritious.

In May, wild rice and malan sprouts are in season. Let’s have water rice, wolfberry and pork ribs soup, stir-fry spring bamboo shoots with malan sprouts and mushroom slices. For non-vegetarian dishes, we’ll have braised short ribs for rice, steamed plum fish, and divide some of the ribs to make pork ribs and taro stew.

Rice.

Malan spring bamboo shoots fried mushroom slices, a handful of malan head, one spring bamboo shoot, two king oyster mushrooms, with secret soy sauce, the method is simple, the main thing is to process the ingredients, the malan head and spring bamboo shoots must be blanched, and the malan must be dried

Chop the water into small pieces, pat the spring bamboo shoots loosely and cut them into strips. Add the ingredients and stir-fry. Pour in soy sauce and add water starch to make a thin gravy. It is a vegetarian stir-fry. It is light, refreshing and delicious.

The meat of Mei Tong fish is tender and soft. Steaming can maintain the deliciousness of the fish to the maximum extent. Served with steamed fish soy sauce, and sprinkled with a layer of salty snow chestnut pickles, it is tender and salty, and a complete taste enjoyment.

Braised short ribs is a popular dish that is full of flavor and color. It is bright in color, salty and sweet. In May, the northern summer is dry and the taste buds are full of energy. You can't go wrong with a rich red sauce.

When I arrive at the dining table, there are three dishes and one soup placed on the square wooden tray, round square small plates, high and low soup cups and rice bowls, which are minimalist and exquisite.

A combination of meat and vegetables, fish and meat, embellished with green chopped green onions and red shredded peppers, it looks elegant and warm amid the overflowing aroma.

Lift your eyes.

Thinking he had something to say, he looked up.

Eyes facing each other.

Opposite, His Highness King Qi has handsome features, noble and cold eyes, and his eyes are as dark as a bottomless pool, which is awe-inspiring. It is not that Ji Rongjin has never seen a powerful and stern leader, but there are very few who are as young as Yan Tao.

It probably has something to do with the fact that modern education requires a long period of time and the ancients became independent too early.

She lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.

The young lady was still wearing plain cotton clothes, her face was painted waxy yellow, her hands were folded in front of her body, her head was slightly bowed, it seemed to be respectful, but in fact it was casual.

Without much hesitation, Yan Tao twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at the delicious and delicious food again, and started to eat.

In Ji Rongjin's sight, the man raised his arms and reached for the chopsticks. He moved his sleeves lightly and crossed the table. His movements were extremely elegant, just like a beautiful picture of a beautiful man in ancient costume on the screen of his mobile phone.

She was secretly regretting that she didn't have a mobile phone or camera, and her eyes were looking towards the opposite side.

snort.

It was very weak and almost undetectable. Ji Rongjin still heard it, as if he was being seen through by the other person. His heart skipped a beat, and the back of his ears suddenly turned red. Now he was really embarrassed to raise his eyes.

It's really rude to stare at someone while they're eating.

Uh... No, why did he call her to the table when he was eating? How could he avoid it?

As expected, he is an aristocrat. Eating a meal is like painting a painting. Three dishes and one soup can be finished in ten minutes or half a quarter of an hour. However, he eats them raw in half an hour. What should he do in a war? Is the enemy still alive?

Can you wait?

Bored, Ji Rongjin deserted again.

"Ms. Ji?"

Looking up, Ji Rongjin found that the man opposite him had finished eating at some point, and Kangtai was calling her. Seeing that she was stunned, he quickly signaled, "What is your Highness asking you?"

I'm so embarrassed that I've been away from home for a long time. The slow pace of life makes even my brain slow down.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."

Yan Tao seems to be smiling but not smiling.

Ji Rongjin was even more embarrassed, "Yes... I'm sorry, Your Highness..." There was a hole in the ground, and she could plunge into it.

The little lady was so embarrassed that she almost fell off the floor. Yan Tao raised the corners of his lips and asked, "What do you want from me?" He stopped teasing her.

When he got down to business, Ji Rongjin quickly straightened his body and his sallow face became serious: "Your Highness, do you know about the restaurant incident?"

"Yeah." Yan Tao replied casually.

Three days were enough for Ji Rongjin to inquire about a lot of things and think about a lot of things. Compared with the beloved general of King Qi, a concubine is insignificant, but since she had the opportunity to deal with the prince, it would be useless if she did not hold her.

, if you don’t make this money, you won’t make it in vain.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, now that the shop has been installed, I have some ideas..."

Thoughts? Yan Tao remained calm.

The other party didn't want to hear it at all. Ji Rongjin pressed his toes that were digging into the ground and forced out a smile: "My idea is that the shop was given to me by His Highness, but the inside was decorated by Captain Qiao. In other words, the shop was given to me by the three of us.

Everyone has a share..."

Born in the royal family, raised in the government and the public, and fought in the north and south for many years, when Rong Jinji asked Shitou to see him, Yan Tao couldn't guess what she wanted to do even in the depths of the city. He was actually robbed in the shop, and Qiao Qingyu dumped the mess.

When I gave it to her, she was too calm and acted unfemininely.

But as soon as he said these few words, Yan Tao felt that she looked like a woman.

Hey, don’t talk about women, men do the same when they seize such opportunities. Ji Rongjin said that he was wronged.

so what?

Ji Rongjin noticed that King Qi was interested. He shook off his uneasy expression and said, "His Highness gave me the shop. If it makes money, I will give him three floors. Captain Qiao worked hard to decorate it, so I will give him one floor."

The rest is my own, Your Highness, what do you think?"

"Open a restaurant between Fengtai Building, Millennium Building and Baiwei Building?"

"Your Highness, we are not opening a restaurant, it is morning tea."

Teahouses in the Great Xia Dynasty basically opened in the afternoon. Drinking tea in the morning? Can you make money? Yan Tao didn't take the woman's petty quarrel seriously at all, and easily agreed.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Rongjin immediately took out the written layered agreement from her sleeve pocket and hesitated before handing it to Yan Tao.

Yan Tao raised her eyebrows, her business was only a few hundred yuan more than the bean sprouts, she had anything else to say, she banged her knuckles on the table, feeling comfortable and leisurely.

Kangtai understood what his master meant, turned around and said with a smile, "What does Mrs. Ji want to say?"

"I hope Captain Qiao won't interfere in my business."

Colonel Qiao is unlikely to be interested in the business of morning tea.

Kangtai affirmed, "Don't worry, Mrs. Ji, Colonel Qiao will definitely not do it."

"Then what if he or his mother-in-law intervenes?" Ji Rongjin asked King Qi to give a guarantee. She didn't want to be judged by others and unable to do business.
