Yu Jinxi was cooking, and Qingti was helping. She was cooking the stove while complaining, "The prince is so kind. He specially asked Qingfeng to invite the young lady to cook. I thought the prince came to you because he had something urgent to do. It turns out that I’m just craving that bite of duck.”
Qingti didn't know what happened on the winter hunting ground that day, so it was reasonable to be aggrieved.
Yu Jinxi said, "The prince has helped a lot secretly, what's the big deal about making him a duck?"
"Then I'll do it..."
Before Qingti finished speaking, Yu Jinxi interrupted her, "My thoughts are different."
Qingti said "Oh" and said no more.
I don’t know when the young lady’s attitude towards Prince Yan changed. She didn’t know exactly where it started to change.
Qingti thought she knew her young lady very well, but she was confused at this time. She had had a lot of quarrels a few times before, and they didn't meet a few times in between. It was really strange that the two suddenly reconciled.
Babao duck is a bit cumbersome to make, but fortunately, the duck bought by Qingfeng has been cleaned. After Yu Jinxi removed the fine down, he opened the back directly, and then stuffed the belly with scallops, ham, diced chicken, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. There are also chestnuts, glutinous rice, green beans and other ingredients, which are then sealed with oil paper and steamed in a pot.
Others can also make Babao Duck, but Yu Jinxi’s Babao Duck has a unique feature that others cannot do.
The Babao duck she makes is softer than other ducks, but it still tastes good. It has a rich and delicious aroma after it comes out of the pot, and the dish is beautiful in shape. When it is poured with the marinade she prepared, the flavor is even more beautiful.
After steaming the duck, Yu Jinxi found some glutinous rice noodles and kneaded a few small glutinous rice balls, soaked the white fungus and made a cup of sweet soup with white fungus glutinous rice balls.
Qingti was also idle. She also made two special side dishes and a basket of various snacks.
As soon as Yu Jinxi took some time off, he looked up and saw someone standing at the door.
Who is it if it’s not Yanhuai?
She looked stunned, "What are you doing standing at the door of the kitchen?"
When Yanhuai was discovered, he calmly walked into the kitchen and said calmly, "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to see you..."
Yu Jinxi's face felt hot. She looked at Qingti subconsciously and found that Qingti still had a confused look on her face. Then she glared at Yanhuai fiercely.
Yanhuai immediately made amends, "Let's see how you cook. I'll steal from you."
It would be better not to say this reason.
"It is said that a gentleman cooks far away. You, a majestic prince, can't find anyone to cook what you want. Why do you have to come to the kitchen to learn it yourself?"
Yu Jinxi wanted him to go away. His warm eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
But Yanhuai seemed to have found a reason to stay, and immediately continued what Yu Jinxi said, "It is hypocritical for a gentleman to stay away from the kitchen. Killings are often done in the kitchen, and a gentleman cannot bear it, so he stays away from the kitchen. But whoever calls himself a gentleman is really a vegetarian? ? It is forbidden to kill animals, but there is no ambiguity about eating meat. Isn’t this contradictory? "
"I am not a gentleman. I eat meat when I am happy. I am so generous. Why can't I come to the kitchen?"
Besides, there was someone in the kitchen that he wanted to see in every possible way. Why didn't he come?
After listening to this, Qingti said with admiration, "What the prince said makes sense, so men can also cook. Anyone who uses the words 'a gentleman stays away from the cook' to avoid the kitchen is hypocritical."
Yanhuai smiled and nodded, "Qingti is right, children can be taught!"
Yu Jinxi glared at Yanhuai again. He was really hopeless. Even Junziyuan's chef was able to talk nonsense and deceive Qingti as if she understood.
"It's almost done, go out and wait to eat!"
Yanhuai groaned, and at this moment he turned around and left, because his long speech just now had aroused Yu Jinxi's disgust. If he stayed any longer, her eyes would be pierced.
As soon as Yanhuai left, Qingti called after him, "Prince, why are you leaving? Didn't you say you want to learn how to cook? I will make a dish later, will you learn?"
Yanhuai walked faster, pretending that he was deaf and didn't hear anything.
When Qingti saw him walking away, she immediately said to Yu Jinxi, "Miss, the prince just told lies again!"
Yu Jinxi nodded, "He always likes to talk nonsense."
Qingti nodded and agreed, "That's right, how can a dignified prince learn to cook? You can't even tell the difference between leek seedlings and wheat seedlings!"
"Um?"
Yu Jinxi defended Yanhuai, "He can still tell the difference between leek seedlings and wheat seedlings."
It is true that Yanhuai's limbs are not diligent, but it does not mean that the grains are not separated.
Qingti said 'Oh', "That county prince is quite powerful!"
Yu Jinxi was slightly startled. This compliment seemed a little awkward.
Soon, the vegetables were steamed, and when Yu Jinxi delivered them to the study, Yanhuai was looking forward to it.
Seeing this, Qingti joked, "Prince, don't worry, these dishes are cooked and still hot. You can just eat them without having to learn how to cook them."
Hearing this, Yanhuai smiled and said, "That's great!"
Qingti's eyes were full of shock.
The prince is so... so thick-skinned!
Qingfeng pulled Qingti away with a wink, leaving space for Yanhuai and Yu Jinxi.
But in fact, Qingti wouldn't stay by Yu Jinxi's side without Qingfeng's reminder, so she took out the food box alone. Although there was no Babao Duck in it, there was everything else.
Qingfeng looked touched, and Qingti took a piece of mille-feuille cake for herself, "Eat, you're welcome. I make more than the king can eat."
Her tone was very heroic, and Qingfeng couldn't say any words of gratitude for a moment, and ate snacks in silence.
In the room, Yanhuai looked at the dishes on the table but did not touch them. Yu Jinxi said, "This is the eight-treasure duck and sweet soup that you have longed for. Qingti also made your favorite thousand-layer cake..."
Before Yu Jinxi could finish speaking, Yanhuai said pitifully, "My arm hurts!"
Yu Jinxi groaned and was completely caught off guard, "Then...I'll serve it to you."
Yanhuai smiled and said yes.
Yu Jinxi's face felt a little hot when he looked at him, so she immediately brought a bowl to serve him soup, and then helped him tear off a duck leg.
"Do you want to eat this?"
Yu Jinxi pointed at the ingredients in the Babao Duck with his chopsticks. After Yanhuai nodded, he scooped some out with a spoon and put it in the bowl in front of him.
Yanhuai stared at him with a good look, while Yu Jinxi seemed to be sitting calmly, but in fact he was very worried.
Why doesn't he eat?
Don't you want her to feed you?
He injured his arm, but he didn't break his hand. He couldn't even pick up chopsticks, right?
Wait, if he really spoke, how could she refuse?
While Yu Jinxi was thinking about it, Yanhuai finally picked up the chopsticks. Seeing this, Yu Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Yanhuai had a clear view of her emotional changes. He really wanted to feed her just now, but that thought was fleeting because he knew Yu Jinxi too well.
With their current situation, it was already the limit for her to go to this point. If she pushed further, she would definitely fall out.
Compared to before, he should be satisfied with what he is like now.
The days are long, so how can we live day and night?
