Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 352 Travel (4)
Everyone looked at Yue Qing, knowing that she was very particular about what she ate.
Yueqing noticed that everyone was looking at her, "Why are you looking at me? Everyone has a taste."
Yue Ke said: "I don't have to, I have already tasted the dishes in this restaurant."
Yue Qing looked at him: "So you come here often?"
"So be it."
Yueqing took the bamboo chopsticks handed over by Qiaoer, looked at it, and picked up the piece of beef closest to her. "Well, it's okay. It's just a little bland. It would be better if I added some onion and garlic sauce. But the chef's knife skills are good, cutting it so thin."
Qin Youdao smiled and said, "Try something else."
Yue Qing looked up and said, "Let me try this tofu. Yes, it's quite tender and has a meaty aroma. Chicken?"
"The princess is right, it's chicken soup. The chicken soup has been stewed for two hours. Isn't it very delicious?"
"It's quite delicious, not bad. It tastes much better than the beef just now. Chang Shen, try it. We can make some when we get back."
Qin Youdao: "Hey, Princess, this is our restaurant's secret recipe. Only the chef can make it."
Yueqing looked up at him and thought, I can do it too. "Oh, let's do some research when we get back and ask your chef for advice another day. What is this?"
Yue Qing picked up another short ribs and tasted it. "Well, this is not bad. The bread on the outside is wrapped just right. Are there any ingredients added to it? Some fruits must be added to the water for kneading the noodles. Then the meat is hammered for a long time. Hello, chef. Be patient, then fry it first, then steam it, and then mix it with the sauce. It tastes good. Try it quickly, Chang Shen, this dish is more delicious than what you make."
Chang Shen nodded as he was told, picked up a piece and ate it, and nodded hurriedly.
Qin Youdao looked confused, "Hey, does the princess know how to cook? That's true."
Yue Qing spit out the bones and said, "I don't cook very much, but I know how to eat. Chang Shen likes to toss these to my liking."
Qin Youdao hurriedly looked at Chang Shen: "I didn't expect this gentleman to be a talented chef."
Chang Shen stood next to Yue Qing and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I only know a little bit about it."
Yue Qing smiled and continued: "However, the noodles used in this dish are not very good. Starch should be used."
Qin Youdao: "What is starch?"
Yue Qing was stunned. She didn't expect that there was no starch here: "Oh, it's something similar to flour. It's a bit complicated to talk about. If Chang Shen has time another day, you can ask him."
Qin Youdao hurriedly asked Chang Shen for a few words. Chang Shen gave him a few polite words.
Yue Qing tasted a few more dishes, and most of them were good. The lion's head, locust flower cake, chestnut cake, etc. all tasted great, but some of them didn't suit Yue Qing's taste. In addition, the cooking method is a bit monotonous. Of course, it cannot be compared with modern cooking, but some dishes taste even better than modern cooking, but maybe Yueqing has not really eaten in the most high-end restaurants.
After basically tasting everything, Yue Qing put down her chopsticks. She had an upright temperament and would take a few more bites of the delicious food. She would take a bite of the food she didn't like and put it directly on the table. Coupled with a few comments from time to time, it is not difficult to see that she is seriously tasting these dishes.
Qin Youdao thought that the princess's taste was really bad. These were the signatures of this restaurant, but there was nothing that could surprise her. It looked like everyone around her would do it.
You must know that Murong is the best chef in Li Jingli, and he has ranked first in all previous cooking competitions. Compared with the imperial chef in the palace, he was no less generous. If he hadn't been used to freedom, refused the palace's offer, and stayed here due to his own ideas, his restaurant would not be ranked first in Li Jing.
Yue Qing raised her head and saw Qin Youdao looking at her thoughtfully.
Qin Youdao was startled and lost his composure. Then he saw that the people behind the princess were looking at him with unkind expressions. He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I'm so embarrassed. I just thought that the princess was extraordinary. I was a little surprised for a moment."
Yue Qing laughed and didn't blame him. She asked, "Well, the food in your restaurant is really good. No wonder the old man opposite said this is the best place in Li Jing. I heard that most people don't Except for the salt, I thought the food here would be boring."
Qin Youdao was speechless for a while. How could he compare this restaurant with the old man selling sesame cakes? But he was sensible and didn't say much. After a few polite words, she started chatting with Shi Rong and Yue Ke, and Yue Qing listened to their chat with interest. I was thinking about where to go next.
A burst of noisy footsteps came in at the door, and a familiar voice came over: "Qin Youdao, you are so ignorant, how can you put King Yong'an aside and ask two singing girls to deal with us. I want to see Let’s see who makes such a grand display.”
As he spoke, a group of people turned in, and everyone saw a group of people walking in surrounded by a man wearing gold, silver and jewelry, looking like a nouveau riche. The man looked domineering and arrogant, as if everyone else was inferior to him.
The people standing next to him were all well-dressed. Yue Qing could tell at a glance that the person who had just spoken was the He Jicheng she had seen during the hunt that day. The people behind him also looked familiar.
As soon as the group turned out of the screen, Chang Rong raised his hand and stopped them.
The upstart was stunned and looked at Chang Rong in surprise.
A person behind him immediately shouted: "How dare you block the way of King Yong'an."
Everyone in the private room was stunned. He Jicheng across from them was even more stunned than them, and then started to panic.
King Yong'an was waiting for someone to drive away the people who were blocking the way. He heard He Jicheng stutter next to him: "This, this, this is a collision. Oh, it was me who was reckless, it was me who was reckless."
King Yong'an was surprised. He didn't expect that the people in this elegant room could scare He Jicheng to such an extent. It seemed that his status was definitely not low, at least not lower than his own, or else it wouldn't be like this. He is not a fool, and the anger in his heart has been suppressed by half.
Just as he was about to say something, Qin Youdao had already stood up, came to him and carefully apologized: "Oh, why is the prince here? Is it that the food in our restaurant is not to your liking? I will ask someone to change it."
Qin Youdao was suddenly in a dilemma. He couldn't afford to offend this great god, but King Yong'an was too rude. He had spent a lot of time with him just now, and specially asked the best singer to wait on him. After being out for only a short time, I came directly to find him. There were so many powerful customers in this restaurant that I couldn't always stay with them.
King Yong'an said along the steps: "No problem, the food is really good, but I heard that there are distinguished guests here in the private room, come and pay a visit."
Qin Youdao heard what he said and turned to look at Yue Qing, Shi Rong and Yue Ke. He couldn't make the decision.
Shi Rong stood up and introduced: "Princess, this is King Yong'an. This time he came to Li State as an envoy from the State of Lu to extend the life of the Queen Mother."
Yue Qing was also a little surprised, and asked without thinking: "Which country is Lu? I thought it was the prince of Li country again, and I was wondering why Li country is such a prince."
After saying that, he suddenly felt that he had made a mistake. The face of King Yong'an on the opposite side turned dark. He thought he was someone with some identity, but it turned out to be a princess. He actually said that he didn't know which country Lu was. Such a crazy tone, was he being teased by a generation of women? About to get angry.
Over there Yueqing quickly stood up and apologized: "Well, I'm really sorry. I said the wrong thing. I didn't mean to insult you. I just never went out and never saw the world. Please forgive me." After saying this, he was about to say something. Bowing, Yue Ke stood up and held her.
"Miss, what are you doing?" After speaking, he looked at King Yong'an opposite him coldly.
Qi Jiao also yelled: "If you dare to rush into Miss Chang Rong, don't throw her away yet."
Chang Rong raised his hand and slapped King Yong'an on the chest. At the same time, a strong man next to King Yong'an reacted immediately, came to King Yong'an in an instant, and received Chang Rong's palm. He took a few steps back and bumped into King Yong'an.
Chang Rong was stunned. He didn't expect that this person was quite powerful. Although he didn't hit hard, he was a little surprised to be blocked by him so easily. The opponent was also a little shocked, this is a powerful person.
The people behind him immediately became confused, and several people came forward to help King Yong'an down. He Jicheng was also frightened and retreated to one side while being protected by his men. The other seven or eight people immediately surrounded Chang Rong.
The person who just stood in front of King Yongan said: "Be careful, this person is extraordinary."
Another person who seemed to be taking the lead shouted: "Madman, how dare you disrespect King Yong'an. Watch your move." After saying this, he waved a meteor hammer and greeted Chang Rong. Chang Rong dodged, and in the flash of lightning, he was already fighting with several people. Qi Jiao narrowed his eyes, these people were quite capable and were all strong.
As he changed his body, he kicked one of them and kicked the person out of the second floor. He knocked off the door and the verandah handrail, and fell into the hall on the first floor. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted. In the past, there was a scream from downstairs.
The man in the lead yelled to the desperate brother downstairs: "Third brother."
Another person said angrily: "Bastard, look at the sword." He pointed directly at Chang Rong. Chang Rong turned around and grabbed the hand holding his sword. There was only a click sound, and the man let go of his hand with a scream. . Gritting his teeth, he pulled out a short knife from his leg and stabbed Chang Rong in the back.
Chang Rong didn't even look at him, but slapped him on the ribs with his back. The man flew out, hit the door, and lay there in a state of embarrassment.
Qi Jiao said: "Don't see blood in front of the princess."
Chang Rong smiled and said: "Yes." He kicked up the long sword on the ground with his feet, held it in his hand, and faced the various weapons on the opposite side. There was a ping-pong sound of weapons intersecting. Within a few moves, another person was ejected out of the door by Chang Rong's sword.
After all, the space in the private room is limited. One person could not withstand Chang Rong's attack and staggered back into the room. Before he could get close to the table, a burst of true energy burst out from San Yuxiao's body, and he reached out to slap him. The man was wrapped in a wave of energy. Knocked over the screen and flew out.
Seeing that they were no longer able to fight, the other four people stopped and stepped back a distance. The person sitting here was obviously more powerful than the one who attacked them.
Chang Rong did not continue to take action, and just waited for them there.
The leader asked, "Who are you?"
Chang Rong sneered and said, "Young lady is on a trip for fun, and a group of unsighted people dare to come and disturb you. Please get out of here while your lady is in a good mood."
The leader said: "We are all heroes of Canglang Castle and have no intention of enmity with you. It's just that King Yong'an has treated me with kindness. You spoke rudely and unreasonably first, then attacked us for no reason and then injured us brothers. Now you are telling us to get lost. But are you still being reasonable?"
Chang Rong sneered: "But we asked you to come here to be beaten. You trespassed on other people's territory without permission. Why are you still here making excuses?"
Qin Youdao looked at the mess on the ground distressedly, knowing that Yue Qing still had the final say here, and advised: "Princess, this kind of harmony makes money, the so-called he who doesn't know is not guilty. You see, King Yong'an has also learned a lesson, otherwise That’s it.”
Yue Ke smiled and said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Qin, we will pay for anything broken in the restaurant."
Qin Youdao knew that the Yue family was rich, but it was not all about money. Lu was a big country that was not weaker than Li. King Yong'an was also the uncle of Emperor Lu, and his position in Lu State was very important, which was not comparable to that of Prince Qin's Palace. He wouldn't care if they had conflicts elsewhere, but if something happened to someone here, he would never be able to escape responsibility.
After thinking about it, he bowed and said: "The princess is kind-hearted, so let's make a good relationship and let this matter go."
Yue Qing saw him like this, although she was quite amused, but in the final analysis she said the wrong thing first.
Then he said: "Okay, Yue Ke, Chang Rong. For a small matter, I said the wrong thing and offended the other party. We can't always be so strong. When it's time to bow our heads and admit our mistakes, it's okay to admit them."
Yue Ke said: "Miss, why do you need to admit your mistake to this little king in person?"
Yue Qing looked at him and frowned and said: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. Why don't you dare to admit it? You want me to be a rogue, right?"
On the opposite side, King Yong'an was still in shock. The people behind him stepped forward and said: "Who are you? How dare you act so boldly? Do you dare to be so rude to King Yong'an of the Lu Kingdom? Do you want to provoke a war between the two countries? I am the Prince of Lu's personal title. Ambassador to Li, I would like to ask the Emperor of Li personally tomorrow, is this the etiquette of Li?"
Yue Qing frowned and glared: "What? Did I hear you right? You want to start a war on this matter? What a joke. Are you sure what kind of ambassador you are? Instead of thinking about how to promote peace between the two countries, you want to provoke a war. .
You threatened me, right? I said the wrong thing, but you guys broke into our private room and cursed us first, okay? You just wanted to bully others but didn't hit you. Humph, do you think we are easy to bully? Today, you, King Yongan, apologize to Chang Rong first, and then I will apologize to you. Otherwise, even if you sue Emperor Li, I won't be afraid of you. "
The envoy was stunned: "You are talking nonsense. When did we curse someone first?"
Yue Qing said with a smile: "Ah, what a double standard, you should be lenient to yourself and strict to others, right? Your country of Lu should not be an unknown small country, right? How come you don't even understand that you need to knock on the door when you visit others, and barge in all the way? Our people stopped us when we arrived. If you didn't agree to come in, you would be blind.
Who knows what you want to do here, whether you want to steal something or perform a show. If Chang Rong didn't know some kung fu, wouldn't he be besieged by your group of people? You scold others first, and bully more and beat our people later. Is this the etiquette of your Lu country? I have already said that I rarely go out and have never seen the world, so I apologize, but you still say that we don't understand etiquette and are like a big country. "
Everyone in the elegant room was holding back their laughter. The people who had not left also gathered around. These people who had not left all had some status, and none of them were accompanied by bodyguards, envoys from other countries, and famous families. Under the protection of the guards, they watched the excitement from a distance.
King Yong'an's face suddenly became uneasy,
The envoy didn't think about it and slapped her down. After thinking for a long time, he said: "These people are from the Jianghu, not from our Lu country. What's more, they didn't bully the small ones, but were passively beaten all the time. You don't want to be here." Nonsense."
Yue Qing smiled even more happily, stood up and applauded: "What you said is clever. It turns out that they are a group of heroes who are chivalrous and righteous. Suddenly they passed by and saw that the people who were kind to them were about to suffer, so they quickly stepped out of the way. disaster, and by the way, take action to teach those who are unfavorable to their benefactors,
Are you not ashamed to say this? Regardless of whether the people brought by King Yong'an are from the state of Lu or not, they are all his followers. If it has nothing to do with King Yong'an, why do you have to stand up for him? Pure chivalry?
In addition, I heard that most people in the world tend to side with the weak when they don't know the truth, or try to find ways to stop the dispute. This obviously means that there are few people on our side. Not counting the 8 bosses, there are 2 weak women among us. So many people from the other side came in to find trouble, but they actually chose to hit us first. It seems that their Canglang Fort is not a good guy, right? "
After saying that, Yue Qing looked at the heroes of Canglang Castle who were looking at her angrily and said, "Also, I'm not talking about you. You worked hard for King Yong'an just for some trivial things, and they kicked you away at will. Aren't you all angry?"
The envoy couldn't think of anything to say for a moment, and King Yong'an glared at him, "That's enough. I'm in trouble today. Everyone, go away. Don't embarrass yourself here."
The entourage hurriedly followed to leave. Several Jianghu people went to help their injured people, and He Jicheng also hurriedly followed out.
Yue Qing shouted: "Wait a minute, let you go? Chang Rong, stop them."
Chang Rong quickly stopped in front of King Yong'an.
King Yong'an looked at Yueqing: "What else do you want?"
Yue Qing said: "Didn't we just start a war? Why, we are leaving now. The people who scolded us want to leave without apologizing. How can it be so easy? I have to ask your country for advice today. Let’s talk about etiquette.”
King Yong'an turned and glared at her: "He is just a follower, and you want me to apologize to him?"
Yue Qing said: "He is not a follower, he is someone close to me. I will not embarrass you. Just ask the person next to you who is clamoring to start a war to apologize on your behalf. On the contrary, I will How about asking him to apologize to you for my mistake on my behalf?"
King Yong'an suppressed his anger, thought for a moment and looked at the envoy.
The envoy was shocked: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. How can we show weakness to them?"
King Yong'an thought about it and thought he was right.
"What if I don't apologize?"
Yue Qing chuckled: "Then don't leave the door of this restaurant today. There are a lot of idle people here, and they are worried about having nothing to do. They have a lot of time to waste with you."
Yue Ke stood beside her and smiled: "We will bear all the business losses of Qingfeng Restaurant while it is dealing with this matter."
Qin Youdao stood nearby without daring to speak.
Seeing this, King Yong'an became even more suspicious, and He Jicheng then touched his side and whispered a few words in a low voice.
King Yong'an was shocked: "What, Villa?" Then he glared at him and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
He Jicheng said bitterly: "The fight started before I even said a few words. I have time to say it."
King Yong'an completely lost his temper. He turned around and saluted with a smile: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be the nobles of the villa. I was disrespectful and disrespectful. It was indeed me who was rude first. We will apologize to these brothers now." After saying this, he stared. To the envoy: "I'd better apologize."
The envoy blushed and bowed his head to Chang Rong to apologize. Chang Rong accepted it coldly. Then when he was about to apologize to King Yong'an, King Yong'an stopped him and said, "No need."
After saying that, he bowed to Yue Qing again and said: "Nobles of the Villa, you don't have to do this. I heard that the women of the Chang family of the Villa never go out, and it is common for them not to know the name of the Lu State. Please forgive me. It is not a sin for those who don't know. "
Yue Qing frowned: "How do you know I am the Chang family's woman?"
King Yong'an laughed loudly and said: "It's not hard to guess this. I heard that the Red Guards of the Villa only guard Chang's side and are always dressed in red. I guess this brother is the Red Guard. He is indeed as skilled as the rumors say. That's great. And this young master should be a member of the Yue family. I heard that the Chang family has a transcendent status in the villa, and the rumors are indeed true. Please forgive me for not being able to recognize Mount Tai, and I will make amends to Qinghu Villa another day."
After saying this and saluting, he straightened up and looked at Yue Qing.
Yue Qing frowned and looked at him: Even Qinghu Villa knew that this prince was not a reckless man, it was really not simple.
Yue Qing smiled and said, "No need, it's just a small matter. Since you don't have any grievances, let's forget about it."
King Yong'an said hurriedly: "Yes, yes. Today can be considered a good relationship. I think there will be another chance to meet the girl. I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he smiled and took the people away.
Yue Qing looked at the people around her and frowned, "Wait a minute."
King Yong'an stopped and looked back at her.
Yue Qing pointed at He Jicheng and said: "This man is a troublemaker. He caused a dispute last time and caused such a big disturbance this time. I don't want anything to disturb my interest in traveling today. You can leave. He You have to stay. In case you bring any princes or princes, I have to deal with them."
King Yong'an glanced at He Jicheng and said: "He is not from our Lu country. I won't care about him. The girl can do whatever she wants. But I am very curious about what the girl plans to do with him."
Yue Qing said: "Of course he will be locked up. Chang Rong, find a room where no one is and lock him up for me. Let people watch him. If he dares to come out, I will break his legs. When he goes back after having fun, he will be released again." ."
Chang Rong glanced at Qi Jiao.
Yue Qing smiled and said: "What, is there any problem?"
Chang Rong said: "No, don't worry, miss. Chang Rong will catch up with you as soon as the job is done." After saying that, He Jicheng, who was shouting, went downstairs.
Yue Qing glanced at Qi Jiao. He sighed and said: "There has been a big fuss and I have lost all interest. Let's go."
After saying that, he stood up and left. Qiaoer, Chang Shen and others quickly followed.
Yue Ke said to Qin Youdao: "All expenses today will be recorded in the Villa's account, and someone will come to handle the accounts in the evening."
Qin Youdao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Easy to say, easy to say. If you don't take good care of me, you won't take good care of me."
Yue Ke nodded at him and went to chase Yue Qing. Shi Rong also came over and patted Qin Youdao's shoulder before leaving.
The onlookers had already made way, and Yue Qing finally showed her face in front of these people. However, Yue Qing didn't have anything to worry about. She just felt a little sulky being watched like a monkey.
All the way back to the carriage, a group of people gathered around.
Yue Ke looked at Yue Qing's unhappy expression outside the car window and wondered why she was so angry again.
He coughed and said, "Miss, should we go back or go somewhere else?"
Yue Qing looked at him angrily: "Why are you going back? What time is it? Really, I can't live without a meal. Let's find a place where we can rest and sit for a while. I don't understand this place, you guys Let’s see what happens.”
With that said, he closed the curtain.
Yue Ke looked at the closed curtain, shook his head helplessly, and turned to look at Shi Rong: "Where is this interesting and resting place? Is there any good place for Brother Shi Rong?"
Shi Rong thought for a while: "Go to the Music and Dance Studio and stay in the Pavilion. You can listen to music there. I think it should meet the requirements of the princess."
Yue Ke nodded: "If you find a good place, let's go there. I have to trouble Shi Rong to take care of things and don't cause any more trouble."
Shi Rong said: "Don't worry, after this incident, no one will bother you again."
Yue Ke got on the carriage and sat next to Qi Jiao, who was already sitting in the driver's seat: "Commander Jiao, go to Zhizao Pavilion. I'll tell you how to get there."
