46. Ordinary affairs between fireworks

Lou Yefeng looked at the joking Proprietress at the side, and then at the "beautiful wife" leaning on his shoulder, feeling at a loss for what to do.

He turned his head sideways to look at his master's delicate eyebrows and eyes, and gently stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his master's body.

Before the Da Jing Dynasty, it had been masculine for hundreds of years.The princes and nobles are like this, and the common people are no exception.It's just that the rich family is called Na Shijun, and if the common people have a good friend, they become brothers, which is called taking a man's wife.

It is commonplace and commonplace, so the proprietress did not make a fuss.

It's just that in terms of address, the party who is in charge of the family is still called "husband", and the one below is called "little husband".

Lou Yefeng saw that his master actually called himself Husband, but he didn't know what it meant.

Pei Nianyu ignored it completely, glanced at the menu, and said to the proprietress:

"A bowl of noodle tea, a bowl of grits soup, and two meatloaf."

"Okay! You two wait a moment, I will do it for you right away."

After the proprietress entered the store, Lou Yefeng whispered in the owner's ear:

"Master... what do you mean?"

Pei Nianyu looked at the face of the man next to him, with calm and introverted features, a pair of deep eyes hiding tenderness looking at him, couldn't help but stick it up and secretly kissed:

"You look more mature, you look like the one who is in charge of the family. When you go out, it's reserved to pretend to be a brother, and it's restrained to pretend to be a master and servant. If you don't pretend...we are an ordinary couple."

"If you call me Husband, I am small in stature and young in age. Others say that they must look at me more curiously. Wouldn't it be a waste of making myself feel uncomfortable?"

Lou Yefeng heard the words "ordinary couple", and looked at the warm and peaceful eyes of the master, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of a trance, thinking that these days really feel like in a dream.

After he collected himself, he said:

"But...you must have wronged the master."

"What's wrong with this? I don't care what others think of me. What's more, when you're out of the house, it's up to you to decide what to do."

"In addition...you don't need to call me master when you are outside. Apart from shadow guards, the only ones who call me master these days are dead soldiers. It is better to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Lou Yefeng thought for a while:

"Then how should I call it...Young Master?"

Pei Nianyu's face darkened, he got up and left from Lou Yefeng's shoulder:

"You don't understand the style, didn't you just say that you are an ordinary couple when you go out? You want to go on your own, but you are not allowed to have breakfast if you can't think of it."

Lou Yefeng: "..."

It just so happened that the proprietress brought some food. Pei Nianyu took a spoon and was about to eat it. Lou Yefeng quickly pressed his hand, hesitated, and tentatively said softly:

"Ayu..."

The cry of Ayu with a deep voice made Pei Nianyu's heart tremble.He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw Lou Yefeng's deep eyes gleaming, as if something was about to move, broke through the ground with this nickname.

But after meeting his gaze, he quickly retracted it, and quickly covered up:

"That, Ayu...be careful it's hot, I'll taste it first."

Then Lou Yefeng took his bowl, covered his sleeves, and calmly took out a silver needle for testing poison from between his fingers.It was hidden behind the finger and stretched into the bowl along the wall of the bowl. After a while, the silver light shone slightly, and the silver needle retracted between the fingers.

Lou Yefeng pretended to test the heat and cold, and took a breath before returning it to the master.

Therefore, Pei Nianyu knew that he had tried the poison and there was no problem.He secretly thought that Ye Feng was still so thorough, even when he came out to play, he would remember these things.

The aunt was completely unaware of this insignificant little action, and seeing Lou Yefeng so considerately trying hot and cold for his "little husband", she couldn't help joking again:

"Hey...Your husband looks cold, but he really loves others. The head of the house is steady and careful, and you are also a lucky one..."

Pei Nianyu looked at Lou Yefeng, and couldn't help but soften his tone:

"Yeah, he loves me the most..."

Lou Yefeng quickly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:

"...that's all I should do."

Having said that, he felt like drinking honey in his heart at this moment, and the gentle smile of the master just before his eyes was like a magnolia blooming in the early morning.

Master... Master actually thinks that he loves him...

Obviously he just did the duty of serving the left and right, and he didn't do it very well, so he was often worried about it.But don't know that the master didn't think it was disobedient, and said that he did a good job.

This sudden joy couldn't help but make Lou Yefeng happy.

"Husband, why are you in a daze, it's time to eat."

Seeing Lou Yefeng stunned again, Pei Nianyu poked him amusedly.Lou Yefeng looked up, only to find that the proprietress had already gone back.

"Come on, do you want this bowl of grits soup, or this bowl of noodle tea?"

Lou Yefeng followed the master's gaze and saw that although the two rough porcelain bowls were large, they were a bit old, and one even had a hole missing.The things in the bowl were all brown, and the contents inside could not be seen clearly, so he frowned slightly:

"Master, what you ordered... can I eat it..."

It's not that he's picky, but that although the master's meal in the palace has been simplified.But no matter how simple the steps are, it has to be prepared according to the specifications of the palace meal. Both the appearance and the container are particular. Even a bowl of bean curd must look like golden bean curd.

Therefore, when he first saw such a simple thing, he couldn't help being a little dissatisfied.It wasn't that he was dissatisfied, it was that he was afraid that the master would find it ugly.

Pei Nianyu shook his head and whispered:

"You don't understand this. These two things are much more delicious than the porridge made by the head chef in the mansion. The bottom layer of this tea is thick porridge made of millet noodles, and the top is sprinkled withSesame pepper salt powder..."

Before he finished speaking, Lou Yefeng said, "I'll drink this."

Because the owner is used to eating polished rice and noodles on weekdays, and this millet is a coarse grain eaten by ordinary people, he is afraid that the owner will feel sick to his stomach if he drinks it.

"It's okay, remember not to stir a spoon to scoop up the two complete layers when eating."

"it is good."

Pei Nianyu took the bowl of grits soup by himself, took a sip, and carefully identified the ingredients in it.

Boil pork bone soup and wheat kernels, add chicken shreds, egg flower, salt, black pepper.

It's not perfect yet, but it's already in its infancy.

While drinking grits soup that tasted specious compared to later generations, but was much more reliable than the original meat porridge in his mansion, Pei Nianyu couldn't help feeling in his heart——

Who said there is no delicious food in this world!Both noodle tea and grits soup are available!Sure enough, there are so many folk delicacies...

Although it seems that it has not been improved completely, and it is not very delicious, but this at least proves that the folk catering industry is creative.It's not like the head chef in his house who has been making the same meal list every month for three years. Not only does he not know how to make new ones, but he also makes them more and more unpalatable.

After the two had finished eating, Pei Nianyu summoned the proprietress of the shop.The proprietress thought that the two distinguished guests were dissatisfied with their meal, so she hurried over and listened attentively.

"Don't be so nervous, I just want to ask, did you come up with this grits soup and noodle tea?"

"Yes, it is the girl of the people. What's wrong with it?"

"Ah, no. I... um... I'd rather know why you came up with this..."

"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know how many connections I found in other shops on this street a few days ago, and they all got a relationship with the palace, and all the things they made were from the palace. Although my shop can also do it, but the ones on this streetThere is too much of it, so there is nothing special about it, so the girl tried her best to inquire about some porridge recipes, as a new style..."

"The meals are crude, which made the two guest officials laugh."

Pei Nianyu thought to himself, indeed, only where there is competition can there be innovations. All the people in his palace eat public food, and it is normal for them to retreat instead of improving.

He nodded to show he understood, then turned to Lou Yefeng and said:

"Pay the bill."

"Okay, twenty essays in total."

Lou Yefeng suddenly became nervous:

"That... belongs to... I... didn't bring any money."

"Ok……?"

Pei Nianyu was a little surprised, Lou Yefeng used to always carry some scattered money when he went out, after all, there is no prince who pays the bill by himself, and will go to the treasurer for reimbursement when he returns to the mansion.Why don't you remember today?

"Did you forget?"

"Ah... yes, yes."

Lou Yefeng was never good at lying in front of his master, so he couldn't help but feel at a loss, and at the same time secretly hated himself for forgetting this.He borrowed two hundred taels of silver from He Qi, and spent it on buying a birthday present for his master, but he was penniless. This morning, he didn't have time to go to the treasurer to pay some money first.

Seeing his expression, Pei Nianyu knew something was wrong, but his face remained calm:

"Forget it, forget it, let me see if I have brought anything..."

So Pei Nianyu began to roll over him.Of course there is no money. This kind of clothes is not often worn.As for the rest of the valuables...

He has always been concise, and when he is out of the house, he does not even have a jade pendant around his waist, and the only thing of value is a carved white jade hairpin on his head.

But this hairpin is a gift from the emperor, so it can't be used to pay off the debt, let alone leaving this precious thing to this kind of people, it is not known whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Seeing that they wanted to eat Bawang's meal, the proprietress didn't look very good. Although the two of them didn't look like people who would renege on their bills, it was really strange that they didn't bring a penny when they went out.

Pei Nianyu still looked calm, but he didn't seem to be afraid of the store's troubles at all.He thought for a moment, then suddenly said:

"How about this, do you have a pen and paper here? To tell you the truth, the cook of the palace has some friendship with me, and I have also given some advice to the cook of my mansion. I will write you three suggestions, and you can decide after reading them.Is it possible to reach these twenty Wen?"

"Also... also okay..."

The proprietress went back to the store to get the pen and paper, so Pei Nianyu naturally didn't show off his calligraphy, but just wrote three things casually and scribbled:

"One, you can pour a layer of sesame sauce on top of the noodle tea for a more mellow taste."

"Second, after the grits soup is cooked through, you can thicken it with a little flour to make it thicker."

"Third, the egg flower is a little old. You can put the raw eggs in the bowl first, and pour the boiling grits into the bottom of the bowl when you take the soup. The eggs will be cooked by themselves, and then float on the top. In this way, the heat is just right."

These suggestions for improvement are all the improved practices of the finished product in later generations. Although they are not complicated, they have a striking effect.

Pei Nianyu Shi Shiran handed over the paper. The proprietress obviously had a little research on cooking skills. After seeing it, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"So, can it be offset?"

"Ah...of course it is possible. You two walk slowly..."

So the two got away.

Pei Nianyu remained silent on the way, Lou Yefeng couldn't help feeling anxious.After walking a short distance, Pei Nianyu saw a narrow and quiet alleyway between the two stores. He turned around and pulled him in. Then he folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, asking:

"Ye Feng, where did your money go?"

The author has something to say:

Pei Nianyu: In the past, there was Schubert's "The Cradle" sheet music for potatoes, and now there are Prince Pei's three tricks for meat porridge... (wipe away tears)
