The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 229

[Chapter 229 A word is settled]

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten something so delicious.

Zhao Yan looked at the steaming bone soup in the copper pot, her eyes sparkling.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he was quite helpless and couldn’t help but shook his head.

This was the first time he knew that this little girl Zhao Yan had such a special liking for eating.

Soon, in less than one stick of incense, the beef, mutton and fresh vegetables on the plate were wiped away by Zhao Yan.

You know, in this day and age, beef is not so easy to buy.

With just a few pieces of beef, Bai Xiaochun went to countless markets, almost the entire capital, before he found a farmer in the suburbs.

That farmer happened to have a calf that ran away and was killed by wild animals such as tigers and wolves, and then put it on the market for sale.

I don’t know when I will have to wait until the next time I want to eat such tender beef.

After all, in ancient times when agriculture was highly valued, cattle were the primary productive force.

The imperial court also attached great importance to the protection of farm cattle.

Zhao Yan picked up the last piece of beef on the plate, rinsed it in the copper pot, and stuffed it into her mouth. When she wanted to pick it up again, she found that it was gone.

Seeing this scene, her pretty face suddenly showed an unfinished expression. She looked at Fang Xiu beside her and said slightly dissatisfied: “Why are you so stingy that you only prepared such a small amount of mutton? It’s not enough for this princess to eat alone.” What!”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he immediately became angry, glanced at Zhao Yan, and said, “Does your mutton taste like this?”

Zhao Yan was slightly startled, and then thought about the mutton he had just eaten. , although it is very tender and smooth, but compared with the mutton I have eaten before, it seems to have a lot less smell.

If it’s not mutton, what is it?

“Is that beef?”

After a moment, Zhao Yan suddenly thought of something, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked with a little surprise.

Fang Xiu glanced at her angrily and replied: “What else?” When Zhao

Yan heard this, she seemed to have thought of something, looked at Fang Xiu and said: “Okay,

do you know that you dare to eat beef?”

“Slaughtering cattle without permission is against the laws of Dachu!”

Fang Xiu became even more unhappy when he saw her saying this, and said, “Slaughtering cattle without permission is naturally against the law, but what if there is a certificate issued by the court for slaughtering cattle? ?

Furthermore, I invited you to dinner, and you still made irresponsible remarks. Do you have any conscience?

Even if the government comes to arrest you, you will be the first to be arrested!”

Zhao Yan heard this. A blush appeared on her pretty face. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still raised her head very stubbornly, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, “If you want to arrest us, we will all be arrested together. Why only me?”

Fang Xiu looked at it .

Zhao Yan glanced at the small bowl in front of her and said angrily: “You ate so much beef all by yourself, why do you think you were the only one arrested?

Look at Xiu’er, she only ate one piece of mutton from beginning to end. It’s what we ate at the beginning.”

When Zhao Yan heard this, she subconsciously glanced at the plates in front of Fang Xiu and Xiuer.

As expected, as Fang Xiu said, it was empty.

Seeing this scene, her face became even redder, and she said with a little embarrassment: “I just ate some of your beef. As for saying this to others?

In a few days, it will be my princess’s birthday. I will invite you to my birthday party.” Let’s have a feast in the princess’s palace.

Let Master Zhang from the imperial dining room cook for you. You can eat whatever you want!”

Fang Xiu didn’t care when he heard this.

The level of the chefs in the imperial kitchen was indeed top-notch among the chefs of this era, but compared with the chefs of later generations, it was still far behind.

After living on this earth for so many years, especially after staying in school and working, I have never tasted any delicacies. What does a small imperial kitchen mean?

Fang Xiu put his chopsticks on the table, looked at Zhao Yan, and said four words very calmly: “It’s a deal!”

As for Xiu’er, who was sitting on the other side of him, he was a little panicked when he heard Zhao Yan’s words. God.

How could a little slave like myself be qualified to go to the palace with the young master?

Furthermore, aren’t the master chefs in the imperial kitchen all cooking for His Majesty the Emperor?

Asking him to cook for himself was something he couldn’t even imagine.

She was just about to stand up and say something to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Miss Zhao.

Before he could get up, Fang Xiu pushed him back.

“Xiu’er, when the time comes, come with me to try the chef’s skills in the imperial kitchen.”

Fang Xiu looked at Xiu’er with a smile on his face and said with a smile.

When Xiu’er saw the young master’s warm smile, she didn’t know what she thought of. A blush appeared on her pretty face, she lowered her head subconsciously and stopped talking.

When Zhao Yan saw this scene, she curled her lips, looked at the small bowl in front of her, and said with some complaint: “The beef is gone, there must be mutton.

Let Bai Xiaochun get some more mutton. I’m not full yet.” “

I’m going to go alone.”

Fang Xiu glanced at Zhao Yan and said angrily.

“you sure?”

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu with an unkind look, and placed a pair of catkins on her waist, where a fine leather scabbard hung.

Fang Xiu knew that the scabbard contained a dagger that was as sharp as clay. It was a birthday gift given to her by King Kang a few years ago.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, there was a trace of disdain on his face, as if he didn’t care about her threat at all.

Then, she looked behind her and shouted: “Xiao Chun, go get some more mutton!”

Zhao Yan finished eating the hot pot, and the sky was getting dark.

According to her previous practice, she didn’t bother to go back to the palace. She just slept in the house where she used to live in the backyard for one night and went back the next day.

But after what happened last time, Emperor Chu became particularly concerned about the safety of his precious daughter.

As soon as the sky darkened, the old woman with an ordinary appearance, the martial arts master who used chopsticks as a hidden weapon in Chunfeng Tower, appeared in the backyard of Fang Mansion.

Zhao Yan was sent back to the palace respectfully.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he felt a chill in his heart.

Although the guards of Fang Mansion are not as comprehensive as the various pro-military and royal offerings in the Imperial Palace, they are still among the best in the capital.

Many of the guards are veterans who fought bloody battles with An Pingbo in the southwest. They are very powerful in combat. Although their martial arts are not that high, they are united together.

Even top-notch martial arts masters have no way of breaking through their defenses.

But this old woman who looked like she was dying, as if she was going to die on the spot in the next second, could treat her as nothing and enter and leave Fang’s house freely without being discovered by anyone. This was really terrifying.

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yanhe. When the old woman left, she felt a chill all over her body for the first time since she came to this world.
