15. Crisp white paste like jade dots

In the early morning of the second day, Pei Nianyu got up early.

Since gaining Lou Yefeng's internal strength, Pei Nianyu's physical fitness has not only improved a little bit, not only can he survive the cold and heat, but also has a lot of energy. When he wants to get up, he can wake up with a single thought.

The reason why he got up early was because he was thinking about the Tofu Puddings that he was going to make. The tofu was poured, but the marinade took a lot of work.

At that time, the sky was still hazy, and the sky was still gray.

Although it was time to go to court in the palace, Pei Nianyu never went to court, so the schedule in King Yu Palace was naturally determined by him.

When Pei Nianyu got up, he walked lightly, and saw the night guard girl in Hanqiu Pavilion dozing off leaning on the porch, her expression was calm, as if she was dreaming some sweet dream.

He smiled slightly, and didn't make any noise to wake up the servant girl. He just put on a swallow's suit casually, tied his hair in a simple bun, and went out.

Naturally, there was no one else in the courtyard except for the shadow guard hiding in the dark. Pei Nianyu thought about it, and instead of rushing to the small kitchen, he walked to the east courtyard first.

The courtyard is quiet, only the withered and yellow bamboo grove rustling slightly in the wind.He couldn't wait to push the door open, and saw Lou Yefeng who was sleeping soundly.

Lou Yefeng's sleeping posture is very neat, he is lying on his side on the couch, the quilt on his body tightly wraps his body, the not-so-long blue hair is laid softly on the pillow, it looks unexpectedly soft.

Pei Nianyu tried to raise his breath three points in his dantian, but there was no sound of footsteps when he walked over.As expected, Lou Yefeng who had lost his inner strength didn't notice anything at all.

So he squatted down and observed boldly.

To be honest, Pei Nianyu rarely saw Lou Yefeng like this.In the past, although they communicated a lot on weekdays, when Lou Yefeng appeared in front of him, he was always sharp.

He was dressed in neat and close-fitting black clothes and black cloak, and his eyes were calm and condensed, as if they had never changed.

And now Lou Yefeng was lying on the couch, his brows were slightly frowned, he was sinking into a tired expression, his breathing was long, and he was sleeping very deeply.

Pei Nianyu sighed softly in his heart.

For the past ten years, Lou Yefeng has been by his side every night, always letting himself fall asleep, and he is the first to react to any disturbance.

It was because of this vigilance that Pei Nianyu was helped to resolve countless dangers.

He is Pei Nianyu's shadow leader. Compared with the other shadow guards who abide by their duties when they are on duty, Lou Yefeng is more concerned about seven parts of his responsibility in addition to three parts of responsibility.

At that time, Pei Nianyu hadn't realized this kind of intention, until now, after guessing Lou Yefeng's affection for him for many years, and seeing Lou Yefeng's relaxed and undefended side, he realized that Lou Yefeng's former loveWhat kind of mind did Ye Feng use to guard him?

Pei Nianyu reached out and touched his forehead lightly. After sufficient rest, the high fever had subsided.

It's good now... Pei Nianyu thought silently?

In the past, when Pei Nianyu had no internal energy, because he knew that Lou Yefeng was watching over him, he would sleep unconsciously every day.Now that Lou Yefeng gave himself his internal strength, it was his turn to rest.

If you have been tense for too long, there must be a time to relax.

Pei Nianyu watched quietly for a while, and the moment the early morning dawn gradually penetrated the window, the sun slanted over.

He suddenly discovered that Lou Yefeng's temples had already had a few white hairs hidden in the depths, not many, only four or five.

"..."

Pei Nianyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in a daze.

Lou Yefeng is only thirty years old, how could he...

Is it because he thought too much in the previous month, which damaged his mind?

Pei Nianyu suddenly felt a little pain in his heart.

He frowned, and stretched out his hand to get rid of these unsightly white hairs for him, but stopped halfway.

...Forget it, this is also pretty good-looking.

Pei Nianyu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to gently stroke his black hair, and then went out the door.

As for Lou Yefeng, who was still asleep, he felt in his deep consciousness that he was surrounded by a soft and soothing fragrance of roses. It was the most commonly used incense on the master's clothes, and it was the smell he was most familiar with.

The breath was so gentle, it made his spirit relax again.

………………

After leaving the door, Pei Nianyu went directly to the small kitchen behind Hanqiu Pavilion, only to find that Jiang Xue and Yun Shao Yun Luan were already waiting there.

Jiang Xue looked excited:

"My lord, sister Yun Shao said what Tofu Puddings are you going to do this morning!"

Yun Luan, who was only twelve years old, said timidly:

"My lord...my lord, this servant heard from Sister Jiang Xue that you will cook something delicious this morning, so..."

Pei Nianyu smiled and said:

"You're not invited, are you?"

While instructing Yun Shao to grind the beans soaked overnight into soy milk, he also ordered someone to fetch a whole chicken and cook soup in a large pot.

And he took out some fermented dough and started kneading it.

Yun Shao ran over to observe it:

"My lord, what pastry do you want?"

"Yeah, it's called fried dough sticks."

After Pei Nianyu skillfully kneaded the strips of noodles and brushed them with oil for later use, he put the brine into the ground soybean milk.

Just after finishing these tasks, the sky is already bright.All that is left is to wait for the soy milk to solidify into Tofu Puddings and the chicken soup that is simmering slowly.

Pei Nianyu is not in a hurry. As a senior foodie, he has long understood a truth. If you want to eat delicious food, you must spend time and patience.

In his spare time, he glanced at the system interface again.

At this time, the above "immediate event" has become two:

"You who wake up early decide to make a classic breakfast for yourself: Tofu Puddings. Please choose a marinade and cook it carefully."

"award:"

“Fried dough sticks are the classic staple food of Tofu Puddings. You suddenly decided to create this common and extraordinary delicacy in the Dajing Dynasty. Please spread the recipe of fried dough sticks to others and show the sweetness of fried dough sticks.”

"award:"

Like yesterday, the rewards are unknown.

Pei Nianyu is now a buddhist to this system, so if you don't know it, you don't know it. Anyway, it's a free reward.

There was nothing to do at this time, and it was obviously not a good choice to smoke in the kitchen, so Pei Nianyu cleaned his hands and went back to the bedroom.

However, he didn't know that the chicken soup he had stewed for a long time just now had awakened everyone in the dormitory...

As soon as he entered the room, he bumped into Lou Yefeng head-on.

"Ye Feng, why are you up? Don't you want to sleep for a while?"

In fact, after Pei Nianyu left his room, Lou Yefeng didn't sleep for a long time before waking up. He was awakened by a big maid beside Pei Nianyu.

The maid's name was Xia Yao, although she was not a shadow guard, she was an old man when Pei Nianyu was the fourth prince in the palace.Unlike Jiang Xue, Xia Yao's temperament is quite serious and old-fashioned, and she will be promoted to "Aunt Xia Yao" in a few years.

Yesterday Pei Nianyu told everyone that Lou Yefeng had become his servant, after all it was impossible to hide this matter, let alone it was unnecessary.

Early this morning, when Xia Yao woke up to be on duty, she saw that the prince had already woken up, but Lou Yefeng was still missing, so her expression sank and she went to the east courtyard.

She is different from Jiang Xue, she is not familiar with Lou Yefeng, and she doesn't know what happened inside their shadow guard before.So she simply knocked on the bedroom door three times, said, Lou Shijun should get up to say hello, and woke up Lou Yefeng.

There has never been a servant in the mansion, how did Lou Yefeng know about these many rules, he panicked when he heard about this, and quickly started to take care of himself.

It's just that he used to wear the standard clothes of the shadow guards. In addition to the black clothes that are usually easy to hide, he also has a few high-grade dresses that need to be worn in formal occasions.

He is the commander of the prince's shadow guard, and his dress should be the color of a third-rank military officer.

It's just... Now he can't wear these anymore.

Unlike the main concubine and side concubine of the palace, the servant has no rank, and there is no need to appear on "formal occasions". Naturally, no one stipulates what kind of clothes he should wear.

Therefore, as a servant, it doesn't matter what he wears on weekdays, except for those who violate the rules.

There were several sets of simple casual clothes in the bedroom across the courtyard, so he randomly chose a light taupe long gown to wear.

At this time Lou Yefeng saw his master came back, he followed the etiquette of asking Xia Yao temporarily:

"Subordinates send greetings to the master."

"..."

Pei Nianyu looked around: "Who called him up?"

Xia Yao responded with a straight face.

Pei Nianyu shook his head: "Don't call him in the future, and don't ask him to come and greet me or something."

Then he stretched out his hand to lift Lou Yefeng up from the ground.

...But he didn't let go, still wrapping his arms around his waist.

After feeling the strong heat of the waist under his hand, Pei Nianyu wiped enough oil, and then took his hand back contentedly.

"Breakfast isn't ready yet, you go back and go to bed first."

Lou Yefeng was surprised: "Well, how can this subordinate..."

Where does the owner get up early to make food for him, but he has already woken up and then goes back to sleep?

Regardless of being a shadow guard or a servant, this is too much.

Pei Nianyu used a slightly commanding tone:

"Ye Feng, be obedient. It's too late to finish all your troubles yesterday, and you've only slept for a few hours now."

"……yes."

So Lou Yefeng was pushed back into the bed by the master, feeling a little worried.But he got the master's order, and he didn't dare not to sleep, so he had to force himself into a light sleep.

Here, Pei Nianyu reckoned that the heat was almost ready, so he returned to the small kitchen.

The chicken soup has been boiled for nearly two hours, and the aroma gradually seeps out from the pot.The chicken hadn't been cooked, he only used chicken broth as a marinade, and distributed the meat to the people below.

The Tofu Puddings over there have also been ordered and placed in a large clay pot.

He fried the deep-fried dough sticks again, and the long noodle pieces gradually expanded and elongated in the oil, turning golden yellow.

After doing this, this seemingly simple breakfast is complete.

"..."

Yun Shao Jiang Xue and the others watched from the side, showing that eager look again.

Last night's meal, the master made too little, they didn't get much, they just tasted something new.As for today's meal, they can clearly see that this large pot of Tofu Puddings and a large basket of fried dough sticks are enough for many people to share.

Pei Nianyu served two large bowls of white Tofu Puddings, and poured chicken broth marinade on them.

He used the shadow celadon dark flower lotus leaf bowl. The Tofu Puddings in the light blue bowl were piled up, white as jade, smooth and tender as fat, shaking gently in the bowl as he moved, looking extremely soft and rotten.

On the pure white Tofu Puddings, the chicken soup marinade is oily light brown, dotted with shiitake mushrooms and fungus and thin and neat chicken shreds.The aroma of chicken soup and the freshness of mountain delicacies are perfectly blended together.

Add a few drops of soy sauce to enhance the flavor, and the steaming Tofu Puddings below will instantly give off a strong salty aroma, which happily enters everyone's noses.

The people around, as well as He Qi who was hiding on the roof, couldn't help being a little lost in thought.

Compared with the precious delicacies of mountains and seas that the prince used to have, the Tofu Puddings made of soy milk and the simple chicken soup are not high-end foods, and they do not use ingredients that can only be seen in the palace and the palace.

Even in their opinion, the noodles of this thing are not enough to be served on the dining table of the palace.

But this bowl of Tofu Puddings is delicious just by smelling the aroma.

This aroma is so simple and straightforward that it shows the word delicious, enough to make everyone ignore its lack of noodles.

It's such a simple bowl of Tofu Puddings, and everyone's heart has a faint thought: eat it, and you will get the ultimate satisfaction.

It seems to be a kind of aroma of fireworks in the warm days, regardless of the level of status, regardless of the amount of wealth, the pleasure brought by wonderful food, treats all beings equally.

Pei Nianyu served two bowls of Tofu Puddings and a large plate of deep-fried fried dough sticks, ready to dine with Lou Yefeng.

This time He Qi didn't foolishly run down to ask for a poison test.

He already understood that, considering the hand speed of those shadow guards, it was more likely that he would honestly wait for a share of the pie with them...at least he could still eat.

However, just as Pei Nianyu was about to go out to call Lou Yefeng, he bumped into someone head-on - this person actually ran into the kitchen with his light skills!

"Hiss...brother, you knocked my nose crooked!..."

Pei Nianyu: "...?????"

He took a closer look, who is the younger brother?

The people around knelt down instantly, and Pei Niancheng cleared them all out impatiently.

Naturally, Pei Nianyu didn't need to kneel, but in the next second his heart rose instantly:

Pei Niancheng's eyes were so precise that he fixed the bowl of Tofu Puddings on the table!

He originally wanted to hide the matter of his time travel for a few days, but how could he have thought that Pei Niancheng would break into the kitchen so recklessly?

Less than a day after the plan was made, it was shattered.

And he doesn't have plan B.

This can be...

Unexpectedly, Pei Niancheng seemed to know his concerns, and with a veiled look, he signaled him not to mention it for now.

Pei Niancheng knew that his brother understood what he meant.

Sure enough, Pei Nianyu had a tacit understanding with him as before, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and did not make another sound.

Pei Niancheng came here from the lower court. He originally wanted to talk to his brother about time travel first, but as soon as he entered Hanqiu Pavilion, there was a burst of fresh fragrance. He couldn't hold it back and went straight into the kitchen.

At this moment, he looked at the bowl of Tofu Puddings, propped his hands on the table, tears welled up in his eyes, and choked up:

"I smelled the fragrance as soon as I walked in, and I was still thinking, brother, what would you make. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Tofu Puddings... I haven't eaten it in eighteen years..."

Pei Nianyu: "..."

This amount of information is a bit large.

Pei Nianyu thought for a while, Pei Niancheng is twenty years old this year, so...his brother wore it when he was two years old?

Then Pei Nianyu looked at his younger brother with sympathy: After eating Da Jing's food for so many years, how miserable it is!

However, when Pei Niancheng wanted to hold the celadon bowl with trembling hands, he was suddenly stopped by Pei Nianyu.

Pei Niancheng turned his head in disbelief: "Brother?"

His brother won't even give him a bowl of Tofu Puddings!

Pei Nianyu looked a little uncomfortable:

"Hey, that, these two bowls belong to me and Ye Feng, you won't be able to compete with the patient for food..."

Pei Niancheng interrupted him directly:

"What about mine?"

"I'll just serve you another bowl."

Pei Niancheng was so anxious, if he hadn't taken into account the majesty of the emperor, he would have pulled his hair.

He hurriedly asked:

"No, brother, what's the difference if you serve another bowl?"

Pei Nianyu took a yellow-glazed peony and butterfly bowl from the cabinet, filled it with a bowl of Tofu Puddings and brought it to him, then said flatly:

"These celadon bowls are a pair, of course they can only be used by Ye Feng."

Pei Niancheng: "........."

The author has something to say:

Pei Niancheng: Is it too late for me to start forming the Dajing Dynasty fff department?
