Thinking of this, the old housekeeper lost control of his thoughts.
Yes, except for people from the palace, who else deserves such hospitality from the young master?
But then, he became anxious again.
It is said that the rules in the palace are strict. As a country man, will I offend the noble?
"Miss, why don't we dress up a bit so that we can impress our distinguished guests?"
When Xiang Zhirou heard this, a hint of joy appeared on her face, she nodded immediately and said Nunuo: "Okay."
"If there are any other expensive dishes in the house, bring them to me."
"okay."
"I remember that a few days ago, someone donated a Tianquan mandarin fish to His Highness Prince Jing, but this fish is very precious to His Highness..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If Brother Jing wants to punish him, I can bear it alone. Go and get it quickly."
Xiang Zhirou smiled sweetly when she heard this.
Just because Gu Beichuan once said in a letter that he has liked to eat fish since he was a child.
It's a pity that since I came to Huainan, I have been busy with trivial matters. Most of the food I eat is the dishes from Feihong Restaurant. As for fish, I rarely eat it.
So when she heard the old housekeeper say this, the girl became interested.
Today I must make a table of delicious food to surprise Brother Beichuan.
After hearing this, the housekeeper struggled a bit, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and responded, "I'll go get it right now."
After all, it was to receive distinguished guests from the palace. Even if His Highness Prince Jing knew about it, he would probably be considerate.
In an instant, the entire palace was in motion for the upcoming mysterious guest.
The maids and servants took out the most beautiful and neat clothes in the past, hoping to leave a good impression on the nobleman.
Finally, after three hours of busy work, there was a knock on the door of Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Mr. Gu, you are here. Miss has been waiting for a long time. Let me take you in." Xiao Yingbin Hong, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, said.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he nodded and said, "Excuse me." Then he walked into Prince Jing's palace.
But as soon as he came in, he realized something was wrong.
Why are all these servants and maids so glamorous?
Now that the New Year has passed, I am still wearing new clothes.
It’s really unbelievable. Is this a famous family?
In comparison, the more than twenty servants in his Gu Mansion really pale in comparison.
After Gu Beichuan walked in, the maids and servants, led by the old housekeeper, bowed in unison and said loudly: "Hello, distinguished guest."
When Gu Beichuan saw this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said conditionally: "Thank you for your hard work, comrades."
The old housekeeper was stunned and thought to himself, what is the name "comrade"? But it didn't matter. What was important was not to embarrass the distinguished guest, so he took the lead and said: "Don't work hard, serve the distinguished guest wholeheartedly."
Later, the servants and maids behind him also said the same thing.
When Gu Beichuan saw this scene, he felt that he was not like a guest at a banquet, but more like a general reviewing the army.
Xiao Hong, who was following him, also had his mouth twitching, as if he didn't understand why things turned out like this.
Fortunately, this embarrassing time passed quietly after walking through the long corridor leading to the main hall.
In the main hall, Xiang Zhirou, who is elegantly dressed in silk moon-white clothes, has bright eyes, white teeth, and perfect eyebrows, is extremely beautiful and has been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Gu Beichuan, there seemed to be light shining in his eyes, without any trace of resentment.
He stood up and said, "Guess everyone, long time no see, the little lady is being polite."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he naturally bowed his hands and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, but Miss Xiang Yun is still as graceful as she was back then."
Hearing this, a blush quietly appeared on Xiang Zhirou's cheeks.
Women in this world, who doesn’t like to hear compliments on their appearance? What's more, these words come from the mouth of my sweetheart?
"Young Master Gu must be hungry after a long journey. Why don't you sit down and have a meal first."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan noticed the large table full of delicious food.
"The chefs in the palace are extraordinary. The dishes they cook are almost as good as those of my Feihong master, Master Sun."
"No way, Chef Sun has been studying cooking for more than ten years, and he can even make such famous dishes as a hundred birds singing. A little girl is still far behind."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan was stunned again.
These dishes are actually made by the young girl in front of me who seems to be otherworldly!
"Miss Xiang Yun is actually proficient in cooking. She is really versatile."
Generally speaking, only women from poor families are busy at the stove.
The ladies of famous families all studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or the ways of being wives since childhood.
It is really rare to find people with exquisite cooking skills like Xiang Zhirou.
"Yun has been following my father since he was a child, and he also lived in poverty. It was at that time that he learned his cooking skills."
"Please try it quickly, everyone, so that I can know if your cooking skills have deteriorated."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan nodded with a smile, stretched out his chopsticks, and began to taste.
After a long time, Gu Beichuan nodded with a sincere expression and said, "It's really a table of delicious food."
"Miss Xiang Yun can't open a restaurant, otherwise we Feihong may lose business."
When Xiang Zhirou heard this, her face blushed even more, and her heart seemed to melt with sweetness.
"As long as everyone likes it, try this fish soup, but it took a long time to cook."
Upon hearing this, Gu Beichuan scooped up a bowl of crystal clear fish soup and put it into his mouth.
Suddenly, an indescribable umami taste exploded from his mouth.
Then it progresses layer by layer, going deeper and deeper along the mouth, making people linger and forget to leave.
What's even more peculiar is that the fish soup is clearly scalding hot, but it feels cool when you eat it.
"This fish soup...is so magical."
"That's right, this is the Tianquan mandarin fish transported from the Yayu Mountains. Even His Royal Highness Prince Jing treasures it, so the lady secretly cooks it for you to eat." Xiaohong on the side helped.
But who would have thought it, but Xiang Zhirou yelled: "Xiaohong!"
"This... is really a waste of money. In fact, Beichuan is flattered that Miss Xiang Yun can cook by herself." Gu Beichuan said with a bitter smile.
Co-author, I ate the pet of His Highness Prince Jing. If others knew this, they should not cause trouble for me.
"As long as everyone likes it." Xiang Zhirou still smiled sweetly, making people feel like a spring breeze.
"Of course I like it. To be honest, such delicacies can only be found in heaven and are rarely tasted in the human world."
Gu Beichuan picked up another piece of crystal clear fish meat and put it into his mouth. The rich and delicious aroma immediately melted away.
The meat is even more tender and melts in your mouth without aging at all.
"It's thanks to Miss Xiang Yun that there are such delicacies in the world, otherwise I might not be able to taste them."
The Yayu Mountains tower into the clouds, and there are many rare treasures on them.
This Tianchi is one of the treasures.
The value of a mandarin fish that can survive in such an environment is probably incredible.
Even, it can’t be bought with money.
Otherwise, people like King Jing cannot be expected to be so precious.
"If everyone likes it, Yun'er can make it for you every day."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became ambiguous.
