Chapter 204 Nangong Hui came to Shengjing to eat his own melon
After Tian Xiaoxiao returned home, she had a simple lunch and then rested.
I slept for a whole afternoon.
After leaving Shengjing for a month, I felt that the air in Shengjing was sweet when I came back.
In the evening, Zhou Jingchen sent someone to deliver ten tables of food.
Through his long-term observation, he came to the conclusion that whenever the Tian family had a meal on an important occasion, the host would always eat with his friends, yamen runners and servants.
Zhou Jingchen was a man who was used to returning a favor, so he prepared ten tables of feasts.
While Tian Xiaoxiao was taking a nap, people from Shengjing City came to the government office with gifts one after another.
Some people just put down their things and ran away.
Some people were afraid that Tian Xingjian would take the money and give it back again, so they simply covered their faces and wore hats to deliver the money.
The tea waiter opposite the government office anonymously brought two bags of freshly roasted tea.
The bun vendor brought a basket of delicious buns.
Others brought eggs, vegetables and fruits.
Tian Xingjian asked Yun Bo to accept all the money, then register it in a book and convert it into silver. In the future, he could add the money when buying vegetables or when asking the workshop to pay the wages to the laborers of these families.
In short, the policy we implement is not to take a single penny or thread from the masses.
Tian Xiaoxiao went to bed, but Ade went straight into the kitchen as soon as she got home. During her time in Xijing, she learned a lot of new dishes.
Moreover, after she took the medicine that Tian Xiaoxiao gave her that day, her sense of smell and taste soared to the sky!
Sometimes, when I see ingredients, my mind automatically comes to how to process them to bring out the best flavor of them.
Hua Qing accompanied her and helped her.
When Hua Qing saw Ade waving a kitchen knife, he was cutting vegetables so fast that he couldn't even see where the knife was.
Only the sound is heard.
Hua Qing was very worried that Ade would cut off all his fingers.
But after watching for a while, I found that my worries were completely unnecessary.
After Ade prepared the ingredients, he cooked with such smooth movements that Hua Qing was stunned. He thought Ade was both beautiful and capable in the kitchen.
The food was all ready and several tables were set. The Tian family, Fang Mingyu and his friends, the housekeeper, as well as the yamen runners, maids, servants, and wet nurses filled six tables.
Each table was filled with twelve people.
The yard and the house were full of people.
Tian Xiaoxiao looked at the lively scene and felt happy.
Tian Xingjian then asked Tian Xiaoxiao why she suddenly grew taller?
Tian Xiaoxiao only replied that she had an adventure in Xijing and slept for several days in a row, and she was this high when she woke up.
When everyone heard this answer, they thought of her magical beast and her abilities, and decided not to ask too many questions.
"Ade, has the cooking skills of the chef at the Heroes' Club improved?" Tian Xiaoxiao asked while holding a piece of home-cooked sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Miss, this chef's cooking skills have improved greatly. The ribs are just the right amount of sweet and sour, and the meat is tender. There are no extra seasonings. It's purely the combination of heat, oil, salt, sugar and vinegar. The ribs still retain the aroma of meat when they enter your mouth. It's sweet but not greasy, and sour but not choking."
After eating a piece of pork ribs, Ade carefully evaluated it.
"Not bad, Ade's speech has become more interesting. Take some time to read more books. You can become a royal chef in the palace in the future." Tian Xiaoxiao's clear voice rang out in the yard.
"Miss, are you trying to kick me out? I don't want to be a royal chef. What's so good about being a royal chef? There's no freedom, and the money I earn may not be as much as I make now!"
"You are such a money-grubber. Are you obsessed with money?"
"Of course not. Without money, how can I buy good food? Without money, how can I raise a baby in the future? Without money, I won't be able to buy your new stuff in the future!"
"Then I'll teach you how to make money?"
Tian Xiaoxiao whispered in Ade's ear.
"Do you keep your word?"
"Keep your word! Just set up a stall in front of our government office. I guarantee you can earn one or two taels of silver a day. Do you believe it?"
"Let me know, let me know, shall we set up a stall tomorrow?"
"Why rush? We need to prepare!"
Everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly when they heard Tian Xiaoxiao and Ade discussing how to make money.
Now, as long as the people of Shengjing City are not lazy and are willing to work in the workshops, they will no longer have to worry about their livelihood as before.
Daju: [Master, Nangong Hui seems to be following us. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Come if you want! Are you afraid of him? ]
Tian Xingjian: Nangong Hui? The first candidate favored by the late emperor, this man is fond of Qi Huang's art, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he even disdained the throne for his own pursuits.
When the late emperor handed the imperial decree to Tian Xingjian, he also chatted with Tian Xingjian for a few words.
Tian Xingjian had never met Nangong Hui, the man who lived in legend.
Over there, Tian Xiaoxiao and Daju are probably starting to prepare to eat the regent's melon.
Daju: [Of course I’m not afraid. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How about we try to eat some melons about the regent? ]
Daju: [Nangong Hui has had countless romantic relationships throughout his life, but he is obsessed with the art of medicine, so he is still a virgin.]
Nangong Hui had just stepped into the gate of Shengjing Prefecture Government Office and had no time to catch his breath before he ate his melon.
That's not right. He came here to eat the melons of ordinary people. How come he got to eat his own melon?
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Pfft! A boy in his sixties?]
Tian Xiaoxiao was drinking tea and almost spit it out.
Nangong Hui thought that since he was here, he might as well eat his own melon! He didn't have a big melon anyway.
Daju: [Don’t you feel that he always has a sense of righteousness and masculinity? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I noticed that he doesn’t look old. He still looks like a handsome old man.]
Nangong Hui: What is one?
Tian Xingjian and his whole family pricked up their ears to eat the regent's melon.
Daju: [Looks-obsessed people are hopeless! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Aren’t you? If Miss Qingluan was ugly, you wouldn’t even look at her for a second! ]
Lu Xiaofeng: Haha, the fairy beast was eaten by the melon.
Daju: [Don't always bring this up with me. Nangong Rui has a big melon! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are there a lot of girls who are in love with him, and then he will live a quiet life like a Buddha? ]
Daju: [Eating melons with you is the easiest thing. 】
Tian Xiaoxiao: [He has such a good appearance now. At the age of twenty, he must be a famous young man in Beijing.]
Nangong Rui: Well, although I got to eat my own melon, why do I feel so enjoying it?
Daju: [You are really obsessed with people's appearance. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Humph, men and women are both visual animals, okay? ]
Daju: [A bunch of twisted ideas. 】
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Will those girls fight for Nangong Hui? ]
Daju: [When the old emperor was planning to choose a concubine for Nangong Hui, several girls from different families turned against each other for the position of concubine! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Hehehe, gossip, so many gossips. I like to hear gossip about several women fighting for one man, but none of them won!]
Daju: [The old emperor had already decided on the candidate, but what did Nangong Hui do? Can you guess? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [He went to cancel the engagement in person? ]
Daju: [Guess again! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [He said he was gay and only liked men? He tried to dissuade the girl?]
Nangong Hui: What does homosexuality mean?
Daju: [Keep guessing! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [He killed the girl? ]
Daju: [You are indeed a wise man. But he didn't kill the man himself, but his study partner did.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh my god! A love triangle?]
