Time soon came to night.
Kyogoku Takamasa returned to his residence feeling exhausted.
The lights in the yard were still on, but there was no one there because it was already very late.
Pushing open the wooden door, an inexplicable fragrance suddenly rushed into Kyogoku Takamasa's nose. It seemed to be the smell of miso soup.
"Ajiu, are you preparing this for me?"
Looking at the pile of food placed on the small table, Kyogoku Takamasa couldn't help but move his fingers and spoke as he sat down.
At this time, Mrs. Sanjo walked out from behind the curtain, and then came to sit down next to Kyogoku Takamasa.
"Your Highness has been working very hard these past few days. Although I cannot help His Highness with government affairs, food and daily living are things that I can do. I hope that Your Highness can feel some comfort amidst the fatigue." Mrs. Sanjo said tenderly. He looked at Kyogoku Takamasa mischievously.
Kyogoku Takamasa couldn't help but feel that such a small look was undesirable.
"Well...Ajiu is interested, let me try Ajiu's craftsmanship."
As he spoke, Kyogoku Takamasa picked up the bamboo chips on the plate, picked up a small piece of fish and put it into his mouth.
"puff........"
"Is this steamed fish?" Kyogoku Takamasa seemed to have eaten shit, with a look of horror on his face, and the fish he had put in his mouth had been spat out.
Mrs. Sanjo nodded seriously, "I heard that His Highness likes to eat fish. This is the fish I specially asked Axiang to buy. Don't His Highness like it?"
"I like it, but why is this fish so salty?"
"Is it salty?" Mrs. Sanjo took the bamboo chip from Kyogoku Takamasa's hand with some disbelief, then picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.
"vomit......"
"How could this happen? I made it exactly according to the cook's instructions, without adding a lot of salt!" Mrs. Sanjo already had tears in her eyes, and Kyogoku Takamasa looked helpless at the pitiful look on her face.
Kyogoku Takamasa carefully looked at the fish in the bowl and finally found a clue.
"This fish is pickled fish. It has already been salted. It just needs to be steamed. If you add more salt, it will naturally become salty."
Because there is Lake Biwa in Omi, there are many water systems, so there is no shortage of fresh fish. If it is fresh fish, there is nothing wrong with following the three ladies’ methods. But the bad thing is that the fish bought by Mrs. Three is pickled fish, so it already contains a lot of salt.
To make pickled fish, you only need to boil or steam it before eating. But apparently Mrs. Sanjo didn't know this, so she added salt according to the way the cook Achun made fresh fish.
It’s a salty explosion!
"Then don't eat this fish, Your Highness. Try this miso soup. It will definitely be delicious with rice." After listening to Kyogoku Takamasa's explanation, Mrs. Sanjo pouted quickly, and then hurriedly put the bowl of rice into it. The fish was put aside, then he pointed at the miso soup on the plate and said confidently.
Kyogoku Takamasa reluctantly summoned up the courage to pick up the spoon on the plate again, then took a spoonful of soup and put it to his mouth. After smelling the smell first, it was indeed fragrant, and then Kyogoku Takamasa put the spoon into his mouth.
There was a pause of two seconds.
Very good, no weird smell.
Gulu.
Swallow.
Kyogoku Takamasa narrowed his eyes and it seemed that he was doing well.
"Well, the taste of this miso soup is indeed very good. Let's use this soup to make rice tonight." As he said that, Kyogoku Takamasa poured the miso soup into the rice bowl, and then stirred it with a bamboo chip. , and began to feast.
I'm really hungry.
Not long after, Kyogoku Takamasa had finished the soup bowl.
"Haha, I feel better now that I'm full!" Kyogoku Takamasa touched his belly with satisfaction, and then said with a smile on his face.
Seeing that Kyogoku Takamasa was eating happily, Mrs. Sanjo smiled slightly, and then suddenly threw herself into Kyogoku Takamasa's arms, "Your Highness, this is a meal cooked by me. Are you satisfied with it?"
"Yeah, very good."
This is not nonsense from Kyogoku Gaomasa. As the princess of the Sanjo family in Kyoto, Mrs. Sanjo has probably never entered the kitchen before. Today, I was able to cook for myself, and I was able to cook it barely enough to be eaten. Although the salted fish was an accident, Mrs. Sanjo had already worked very hard.
"I'm very touched by Ajiu's kindness. Today's dinner is the most satisfying one I've had in recent years." After finishing the meal, Kyogoku Gaozheng couldn't help but flirt.
However, Mrs. Sanjo's next words made Kyogoku Takamasa extremely painful.
"I would be very happy to be praised by His Highness, but I can't be happy at all."
"Recently, my father has won more than ten thousand dollars. Even Xin'an has lost all the money. I have very little money left this month. I am really sorry for your highness..."
Hearing this, Kyogoku Takamasa already knew the reason why Mrs. Sanjo was so good today.
MMP, I cook in person and ask for help. After working for a long time, I have no money...
"My father is a member of my own family. Although the money has been exported, it is still in the hands of my own people."
"But Ajiu, your mahjong skills are indeed not very good. It's better not to play mahjong during this period."
"But what can I do if I don't play mahjong?"
"You can learn weaving or embroidery from Axiang."
"Hey, I was learning embroidery from Aka the day before yesterday, and my finger was pricked by needles several times. It's still hurting now." Mrs. Sanjo stretched out her left hand and placed it in front of Kyogoku Takamasa, with the index finger and thumb of her left hand There were indeed several needle-pricked eyes.
Kyogoku Takamasa couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh in his heart, what can I do!
"There are more than a hundred dollars in the box in the warehouse. I am going on a long trip tomorrow and may not come back in the next few days. This money is equivalent to the money I gave you in advance, so you should save it. Use it."
"Is Your Highness going out again? Where are you going this time?"
Kyogoku Takamasa thought for a while, and he went out this time to poach someone. Unlike the last time he went to Ise, he had to hide it, so he didn't hide it, "If I go to Shinano, I might as well stop by Kai."
"Kafi, is this the place where Mount Fuji is? Can you take me to see it?"
Kyogoku Takamasa was just about to agree, but then he thought of something and quickly shook his head and said: "The road to Shinano is quite dangerous this time, Ajiu should stay at home."
"Okay..." Mrs. Sanjo replied a little disappointed.
Mud almost forgot about Garfield. Historically, Mrs. Sanjo was Garfield's wife. He had robbed someone else's wife. It was better not to take Mrs. Sanjo there, otherwise the situation would seem a bit embarrassing.
"You are my royal wife. During my absence, you must stay at home to assist my mother in taking care of everything at home."
"My younger brothers and sisters are still very young and need more care from you, so as my main wife, you have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders."
As if feeling the trust in Kyogoku's high-level political speech, Mrs. Sanjo nodded sharply, "Your Highness, go with peace of mind, Ajiu will take good care of the family."
"That's good!"
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded, and then said: "It's getting late, we have to leave early tomorrow morning, let's rest first."
With that said, Kyogoku Takamasa had already stood up.
Mrs. Sanjo hesitated for a while, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Kyogoku Takamasa expectantly: "Your Highness, can I sleep with Your Highness tonight?"
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly felt a little dizzy. He was forcing himself to make mistakes.
No, how can I, Kyogoku Gaomasa, be such a person?
"Then go make the bed. I'll be here later!"
It's just a matter of sleeping, and I don't do anything. I don't think my conscience will be condemned.
Kyogoku Takamasa comforted himself in his heart.
