When Tao Yaoyao heard Chun Xing's words, she looked up and saw the other party carrying a large basin of ice cubes and walking inside with a smile.
There were still wisps of white smoke rising from the ice cubes.
"Nineteen Beauties are well now. With ice cubes, you can stay cooler. Your Majesty is so kind to you..."
Chun Xing also talked a lot in the past two days. Her little mouth kept chattering, and sometimes she had a bit of girlish liveliness. Tao Yaoyao didn't stop her from smiling and listening.
But it sounds a little unpleasant to hear, but the other party also wants to do it for her own good, and she doesn’t know the real situation, so forget it!
Even a little girl knows that the prince is good to her, so the people over there will probably contact her soon.
With this thought, Tao Yaoyao placed Chun Xing's basin with ice cubes on the small table. It would be cooler for the two of them to guard the ice cubes.
Tao Yaoyao flipped through the storybook that Chun Xing had just exchanged yesterday. It was a travel diary written by a man named Su Kangan about his ten years of study tour experience.
But it is obviously a new storybook, but many words in it are circled. I didn't notice this at first. After all, the story is well written, and the writing style makes people feel immersive at first glance. Yaoyao was mesmerized as she watched it.
The book is not thick, only about twenty pages. Of course, it is mainly written in classical Chinese. If translated into vernacular, it would have more than this number of pages.
After reading it, I felt a little unfinished. Thinking about the picture describing the scenery just now, I turned to the front to read it again. Only then did I realize that every other paragraph, a word was circled.
I followed the circled words with curiosity, and then I realized that it was a code word.
He glanced at Chun Xing, who was grinding medicinal materials across from him, a little strangely, but later gave up the idea.
After all, Chun Xing is illiterate, and she is a child of the royal family, so her loyalty to the palace is extraordinary.
"How did you find this book Chun Xing? It looks good, but it's not good enough. You can help me get another one tomorrow."
"Okay! I'm going to exchange a copy of Nineteen Beauties tomorrow. It's a coincidence. When I asked the shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Su directly recommended this book, saying it was based on his study tour experience. The slave thought that it was a book written from his own experience, and he dared to recommend it to others, so it should be good, so he gave it back in exchange. I will find him tomorrow and ask him to recommend another good book."
Chun Xing said with a smile, her hands were not idle, and her hands and feet were becoming more and more agile now.
When she was talking, Tao Yaoyao observed carefully and found that there was nothing strange about the other party. She probably said everything was true. She really didn't expect that the other party could contact her through this method. She was really underestimating it!
"Chun Xing, I remember that there is still some glutinous rice in the kitchen. Since the prince has rewarded us with ice cubes, I have to show some appreciation, so I will go and give them to you. If we only accept the gift without returning it, it will appear that we are stingy."
As Tao Yaoyao said that, she put down her book and stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Naturally, Chun Xing quickly put down her things and followed.
She had to help cook the pot. Tao Yaoyao was not very proficient in using an earthen stove. It would be much better if someone helped cook the pot.
Taoyao adds water to the glutinous rice to make small balls, then presses it into small discs and puts it into a pot of boiling water to cook. Remove the excess water and then beat it with a mallet while it is hot until the temperature drops. After that, he kneaded the glutinous rice balls vigorously like rubbing clothes. Soon the surface of the glutinous rice balls became extremely smooth, white and clean, and looked beautiful.
During this time, Chun Xing fried the peanut kernels and black sesame seeds in a pot, then pounded them into dregs in a stone mortar, then crushed the rock sugar and mashed them together. The three were mixed together to create a mixed burnt aroma. and the aroma of ingredients,
I was afraid that the other party wouldn't like sweet food, so I made fresh meat stuffing, that is, onion and ginger juice plus salt and pepper put in the minced meat stuffing.
The meat stuffing is okay, you can roll it into small balls directly, then put them in the glutinous rice skin and wrap them into white and fat glutinous rice balls.
The peanut and sesame filling is a bit bulky and not easy to handle. It took two attempts to achieve success. There was no leakage of filling.
Soon the two snacks, one salty and one sweet, were ready.
It's a pity that there is no desiccated coconut, otherwise it would be very beautiful with a layer of desiccated coconut on top.
On the sweet glutinous rice balls, each fruit is dotted with a small red dot with brown sugar juice, which makes it look less monotonous. As for the meat-filled ones, just leave it like that! Anyway, as long as they can be distinguished,
After finishing it, I looked at the two plates of snacks and thought that they were for the male protagonist, and I felt uncomfortable in my heart. Unfortunately, I had to do it even if I didn't feel comfortable.
I went back and changed my clothes. In fact, while Chun Xing was cleaning the battlefield, I took a shower in the space.
After doing all this, Tao Yaoyao took Chun Xing out of the yard. No, she should have brought two plates of snacks.
"You mean she's coming here to deliver snacks? Then let someone come in."
Chu Xuanhong was discussing something with his small group, and Shi Zhu came in to talk about it. He thought it was something important, but it turned out that the woman was coming, and even though he agreed,
"It seems to be effective. I wonder what is going on?"
Qin Jingzhi fanned himself again and again like a romantic nobleman, but in fact, with his power, he was immune to the cold and heat.
"Won't you know when someone comes in?"
Chen Rui still grabbed the cold melon and ate it. He couldn't live without this in summer, and it had to be half-frozen.
Several other people stopped talking about the topic just now and didn't speak any more.
"My daughter has met the prince. This is my little wish and I hope the prince can accept it."
When Tao Yaoyao entered the door, she scanned the room with her eyes, then she put the food box in front of her and bowed, saying,
When Shizhu saw the prince nodding, he stepped forward to take the food box and took out the snacks inside and placed it on the desk in front of the prince.
"Excuse me, I wonder why Miss Tao is here?"
He would not believe that someone who wanted to make a deal with him would give him snacks for no reason.
He took a look at the first two plates of white, fat and round snacks of unknown origin and said,
"Nothing, I just read a travel diary today, and it seemed like a coincidence that the date on it was the day after tomorrow."
Tao Yaoyao glanced at the people around her and said calmly,
"Just say it."
These people are the ones I trust the most, so naturally I can listen to them.
Of course Tao Yaoyao knew this was the case, but how could she show it? Without this operation, it would be strange if others didn't suspect it. Ignoring the scrutiny and curious eyes of several people,
"There is news from over there, asking me to go out the day after tomorrow. I probably want to know some information, so if you want me to pass on anything, just tell me directly. This is also an opportunity."
Now that the showdown has been made, let’s just talk about it!
The few people looked at each other with a tacit understanding in their eyes.
"That's not bad. It just so happens that I have a plan. After you go over and meet, tell the other person that there are traps in the hunt. Don't say anything else. As for how you know, it's not difficult for me to believe this."
"good."
Tao Yaoyao agreed and was about to retreat when the prince who was not far from her spoke again,
"You will come with me then."
