Chapter 39 Osmanthus Yam

Ji Rongjin's heart skipped a beat inexplicably, and the relieved breath came back to him, "If you don't bother Your Highness, I will write it when I get home tonight, and I promise to deliver it to Your Highness early tomorrow morning."

Yan Tao glanced at him, his face was indifferent, his eyes were cold and cold, and he stood up without any emotion at all. He stood up and walked out. He was majestic and elegant in his bones, which attracted people's attention and did not allow anyone to think about it.

"..." Just go! She is not the only one in Osmanthus Alley.

It is getting late, the evening breeze is coming slowly, and the heat of the day has dissipated, blowing on your face, refreshing and pleasant.

"Ms. Ji, please—" Kangtai stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.

Looking at the morning tea house, even at night, there were still people coming and going at the door. Ji Rongjin really didn't want to ride in a carriage with King Qi, it was too ostentatious!

However, the big man was sitting in the carriage, looking at her with a pair of red and phoenix eyes, so she had to get on the shelf like a driven duck.

Come on, just sit down!

The young lady looked at Yan Tao with an expression as if she was looking forward to death. He lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

In the morning tea house, a woman who looked like a maid, holding a large and small steamer in her hand, looked at the carriage of His Royal Highness King Qi as he drove away, with a look of resentment on his face, her thin lips moved up and down, and she secretly uttered something,

He quickly got on a small oil truck and urged the carriage to run away.

Outside the door, Shitou and the head of procurement came in and asked the doorman, "Is that maid just now from the Xuanpinghou Lu family?"

The young man nodded, "Yes, Manager Shi, I bought a lot of snacks for the eldest lady of the Lu family."

Coming to buy snacks late at night? Shitou was a little puzzled.

The young man reminded with a smile, "His Royal Highness was here just now."

Oh, I see! His Majesty intends for the marriage between King Qi and the Lu family, and the Lu family is eager to do so, but His Highness...

The silver moonlight shines on the ground, the chirping of crickets emerges from the corner of the alley, and the fragrance of August osmanthus fills the air, intertwined with the moonlight, and everything in the world is covered in it.

After being cautious all the way and getting off the carriage, Ji Rongjin forced a smile and said, "The civilian girl will not disturb His Highness's rest. The specific plan for renting a warship will be sent over early tomorrow morning." After saying that, he ran to the door of his house.

"Where's dinner?"

His Highness Prince Qi asked quietly from behind.

Ji Rongjin suddenly stopped and wanted to turn around and ask, without her, wouldn't he be able to have dinner? Unfortunately, he has a thief's heart but not the courage. He turned around suddenly with a cowardly smile on his face, "Then what do you want to eat, Your Highness?"

"Whatever!" Yan Tao walked up the steps with her hands behind her back and crossed the threshold, leaving her with only a long and leisurely figure.

Ji Rongjin patted his face and cheered up, "Manager Kang, I'll go home and get some ingredients first."

"Excuse me, Madam Ji."

"You're welcome."

Ji Rongjin went home and wanted to get some ingredients to cook in the partition. She found that her home was stocking hairy crabs and the stove next door was not as useful as her improved stove. So she asked Aunt Guo to talk next door and she would bring the cooked meals over.

Aunt Guo didn't dare.

"It's okay. I just said that my stove works well and makes dinner quick."

Aunt Guo waited until the crabs were steamed before she went to the next door cautiously.

In the small kitchen, the oil lamp provides warm light.

Ji Rongjin stood in front of the oil lamp and cooked. Tonight, he mainly cooked crabs. He made steamed crabs and used crab roe to make four lion heads. Then he mixed them with rice and ate one crab and three. It was delicious and easy to eat.

The vegetarian dish is the okra just picked in the yard, boiled okra, osmanthus and yam, paired with pork ribs and winter melon soup, and it's all together.

The improved stove is like an oven. Rice, crab, okra, yam, ribs and winter melon soup are served in one pot. After it is out of the pot, separate the head shell and body of the hairy crab, pick out the most delicious crab roe and mix it into the steamed white rice.

Pour a small amount of soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine into the rice, and a crab roe mixed rice is ready;

Crab roe lion head is a traditional famous dish, which belongs to Huaiyang cuisine. The main raw materials are pork belly, crab roe, water chestnuts, etc. Cut the pork belly into cubes, peel the water chestnuts and smash them into pieces. Prepare the crab roe and crab meat, add condiments and egg white.

After making the meatballs, put them into the pot and steam them. Take them out and sprinkle some green onions to garnish them. The fragrance is fragrant. The crab meat is tender, refreshing and soft.

Osmanthus yam belongs to the Cantonese cuisine. It is sweet and refreshing, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is very suitable for eating in the dry autumn weather. It moistens the lungs and relieves internal heat, and is refreshing and pleasant.

Boiled okra is even simpler. Take it out of the steamer and pour in your own fresh soy sauce. It's not too good.

After finishing the meal, a bowl of light winter melon and pork ribs soup completes the whole day.

Under the dim oil lamp, looking at the delicious food and smelling the aroma, Ji Rongjin felt particularly fulfilled, and a sense of happiness flowed smoothly in the small kitchen.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a deep male voice came, and Ji Rongjin was so startled that he almost dropped the food box in his hand.

"Your Highness..." Why are you here?

"I'm afraid if you don't come here, you will steal all this food."

She was just asking if the food tasted good.

Something seems wrong.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness..." He saw Zhan Cai just now, so he wouldn't mind if he got saliva on her. This is really embarrassing!

Yan Tao didn't seem to notice her blushing and pale complexion, her tall and erect body, her cheerful and clear movements, and the dim space of the small kitchen suddenly became "blooming" with his arrival.

It turns out that this is where the idiom comes from.

"You hungry?"

"..." The stunned Ji Rongjin suddenly woke up, wiped the tip of his nose awkwardly, picked up the dishes on the table and put them in the food box. Yan Tao stopped him, "There is no need to mention the next door."

"..."

Yan Tao's phoenix-like eyes were slightly raised, "Have you seen enough of me?"

"..." This was so awkward that Ji Rongjin didn't know how to reply.

Yan Tao turned around and left the kitchen.

Aunt Guo received Kang Tai's look and quickly came in to wait on her, "Rong Niang, you entertain His Highness, this old slave is here."

I have known King Qi for more than a day or two, and I have cooked for him once or twice, but this is the first time I have sat at the same table with him for dinner.

The caste system of the ancients was quite strict. Why was she, a commoner's daughter, allowed to have dinner with him?

Ji Rongjin's thinking was stuck here, and he never thought of another layer: she was the "outer wife" of King Yan Tao of Qi. If there was such a relationship, it would not be impossible for a man and a woman to sit at the same table and eat together.

Ji Rongjin didn't know how King Qi ate during the meal. Anyway, she ate so much that she didn't know how it tasted.

The meal was finished and the table was cleared, but King Qi still showed no sign of leaving. Ji Rongjin's heart no longer beat inexplicably, but was trembling with fear, thinking that this guy would not turn the fake 'outer room' into a

It’s really an outdoor room!

This is a big joke.

"Your Highness..." Ji Rongjin pointed to the moon outside, "It seems to be getting late."

"You also know that it's getting late?" Yan Tao looked like an old god, half-smiling but not smiling.

"..." What do you mean? Ji Rongjin's heart trembled inexplicably.

The young lady blinked, and Yan Tao leaned back on the chair, placed his hands on the armrests of the armchair, and looked at her with unclear meaning.

What is this for? Ji Rongjin wanted to pretend to be stupid, but his IQ did not allow it. He coughed and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the relationship between us..."

"Huh?" Yan Tao looked at her calmly with a smile on his face.
