"Why does this pot look like this?"
"Should we eat directly from the pot?"
"Why are all the dishes served on the table raw? Is the meat also raw?"
"Eating it raw? Is this how the barbarians eat it?"
Xiao Yuchen's questions came one after another.
Wen Jin ignored him, and Wen Yu was also busy carrying food from the kitchen to the table.
Wen Jin stuffed charcoal into the belly of the brass pot. Soon after the charcoal was lit, the soup in the ring-shaped pot began to bubble.
The bright red and rich tomato soup emits a fresh, fragrant, sweet and sour taste after boiling.
Xiao Yuchen understood now...
The chimney in the middle of the pot is for exhausting smoke!
"This design is so ingenious!" he exclaimed.
He didn't dare to move his chopsticks... Raw fish and vegetables were really hard for him to swallow.
Is this what Wen Yu calls "the best food in the world"?
Xiao Yuchen felt a little pity for this child... He must take this child to see the world someday! Let him know what delicious food is!
No matter how much Xiao Yuchen hesitated.
Wen Jin, mother and son, were not reserved. After the pot boiled, they put thinly sliced fish into the pot.
Green vegetable leaves, square tofu cubes, deep-fried tofu skin, tofu soaks...
Wen Jin basically prepared a plate of everything in the kitchen.
As for hot pot, everything can be cooked.
Xiao Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved... Fortunately, it was not eaten raw.
But eating it directly from the pot...it's a bit "insulting to politeness"!
But I saw Wen Yuba pouting and eating very deliciously.
Xiao Yuchen also hesitantly took a piece of fish.
The fish is thinly sliced and cooked quickly, so when you dip it in the rich tomato sauce... Tsk!
Xiao Yuchen's eyes widened immediately——
Um? !
What delicacy is this?
Tomatoes and fish, do they go together like this?
It turns out that koi fish are not for watching? It's just for eating, right? !
How could there be such delicious fish?
Xiao Yuchen couldn't care less about being reserved anymore, damn being polite!
He only hated the habit he had developed since childhood, eating too slowly!
Looking at Wen Jin again, he ate quickly and not rudely, on the contrary, it was a bit pleasing to the eye.
No... I can't watch it. If I look at it anymore, there will be no fish left.
This soup base is the soul. When the vegetable leaves are rinsed in, it tastes better than the one made by the imperial kitchen!
It's already hot.
The three of them sat under the plane tree and ate pot.
Xiao Yuchen was sweating profusely after eating, not to mention how enjoyable it was!
After the meal, he rubbed his belly and sat back on the bamboo chair under the tree, lazily not wanting to move.
"Have you finished eating, Your Majesty?" Wen Jin asked.
Xiao Yuchen glanced at her and thought to himself, are we going to drive him away again?
But now he was so full and sleepy that he didn't want to move a step.
Moreover, the yard is shady under the trees, the wind carries the fragrance of flowers, there are insects singing and birds singing around, and the vegetable patch is full of fruits... It is simply a paradise.
He wanted to steal a half-day of leisure.
"I don't want to leave just yet." Xiao Yuchen simply closed his eyes and started to cheat.
He has the final say in his palace, and he will not leave until he says so.
"You really can't leave." Wen Jin said, "You don't know how to cook, and you don't know how to kill fish. Do you know how to wash dishes? Can you clean the table? It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. You can fetch water, right?"
Xiao Yuchen opened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
It was as if she had told a big joke.
"This is Wutong Courtyard, and you have to do everything yourself." Wen Jin smiled half-heartedly, "The rules are set by the prince."
Xiao Yuchen took a deep breath, "Since this is the rule established by this king, then I have changed the rules now. What is your name, maid?"
"Susu, right? Hurry and clean up."
Susu just woke up not long ago. The meat in the pot is gone.
Not to mention the extremely valuable koi, even the pork, beef and mutton were not left to her.
She had just soaked some rice in tomato soup and was about to eat it.
The prince ordered her to clean up again.
If the young lady gave the order, she could still show pity and prevaricate... But she wouldn't dare in front of the prince.
Susu hurriedly got up to work... She was so unlucky, why did she agree to come to this courtyard!
Are her delicate hands meant for such rough work?
She was hungry and full of resentment.
Wen Jin was happy that she didn't have to clean up. She liked cooking, but she didn't like washing dishes very much.
Such a beautiful afternoon is a good time to take a nap!
Wen Jin slept through the night.
She didn't know when Xiao Yuchen left.
Susu is not in the courtyard either.
Only Wen Yu caught two grasshoppers, put them in a broken wooden basin, and fought with them.
"Come on big black cow!"
"Lion head, bite it!"
He can have fun even on his own.
Seeing Su Su's absence, Wen Jin curled his lips slightly... He didn't know how long this maid could last here?
After dinner was ready, Susu came back from outside.
She glanced at Wen Jin, her eyes a little evasive.
Wen Jin didn't ask her where she was going, "There's food left for you in the kitchen. After you're done, clear the table and wash the bowls. You don't have to stay on duty tonight, so you can sleep in the west wing."
Su Su was stunned, as if she didn't expect that Wen Jin didn't ask anything, let alone criticize him harshly.
"Yes, your servant knows." Su Su twisted her body and entered the kitchen.
After Su Su came, Wen Jin felt really relaxed.
Because apart from cooking, she basically left all other tasks to Susu.
It's not that she's picky about food, it's because Susu really doesn't know how to cook.
Asking Susu to light the fire, she almost burned down the kitchen.
Wen Jin will no longer need her for cooking.
In the past few days, Wen Jin went to Chuihuamen and tried several times.
Still couldn't get out.
"It seems that Xiao Yuchen has no sense of being cannibalistic at all!" Wen Jin snorted.
In the past few days, Xiao Yuchen came to Wutong Courtyard to have dinner when he had free time.
He doesn't know anything, but he ranks first in eating!
Together, she and Wen Yu couldn't even eat it!
Eat the vegetables she grows, eat the food she cooks, and don't let her go out!
Wen Jin was thinking about when to mention it to him face to face. She would not charge him for the meal, but would only exchange for the right to go out. Is it reasonable?
Wen Jin didn't expect that someone would be unable to bear it before she did.
After Susu stayed in Wutong Courtyard for the past few days, she felt that her hands were rough, her face was rough, and her whole body was sore.
The little sisters who lived in the same room before said that she was not as pretty as she used to be!
This can be fatal!
"I came here to serve my young lady, but I didn't expect that I would do the work of the lowest maid."
"Wash dishes, sweep, carry water, water vegetables..."
"Where have I ever done this... ugh, I still get scolded if I don't do it well..."
"I didn't expect that after six years, my young lady's temper is even worse than before."
Su Su saw that Wen Jin didn't care about her going out.
As soon as she had free time, she would sneak out of Wutong Courtyard and complain to others.
Some people would sympathize with her and comfort her, while others just listened to her words and did not agree with her.
That evening, she complained again outside Wutong Courtyard.
A woman happened to be passing by. When she heard this, she stared at her.
"Then who did all this work before you went to Wutong Yuan?"
"We all know that there are no servants in Wutong Courtyard."
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to be a maid to take care of your young lady's worries? Are you going to be a young lady and ask the princess to take care of you?"
"I remember that it was you who came to the princess and begged to go to Wutong Courtyard."
"Didn't the princess ask you to go?"
The one who glared and yelled at Su Su was Mrs. Chang in the backyard.
Mrs. Chang often received favors from the princess, and the last thing she wanted to do was to hear other people say something bad about the princess.
If the people in the front yard of the palace said it, she would endure it.
The one who complained was actually the princess's maid! Moreover, is this maid speaking human language? As if the princess deliberately abused her?
