The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

"My lord, just eat and drink. I'll chat with you again when there are fewer guests."

Xiao Lian sent Jia Jue to a painting boat in a small boat, and said to him reluctantly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Miss Xiaolian here." Jia Jue smiled and nodded to him.

Xiao Lian's black and white pupils looked at Jia Jue's face several times before she reluctantly left.

"I understand." At this moment, Ji Yun said suddenly.

"Oh? What do you understand?" Jia Jue asked him.

"The best thing about you is neither your nose nor your mind." Ji Yun looked at him.

"That is?"

"Beauty!"

Jia Jue couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and cupped her hands: "Thank you for the compliment."

While the two were talking, a servant girl came to the two of them and greeted them with a blessing:
"Both young masters, please take your seat."

"Okay! I'm sorry, miss." Jia Jue smiled at the maid.

Seeing his smile, the servant girl blushed and quickly lowered her head to lead the way.

Ji Yun glanced at him, and it was clearly written in her eyes: Look, isn't this what it is?

Jia Jue smiled at her, but said nothing.

Seeing his smile, Ji Yun quickly turned her head, but she reconfirmed her opinion in her heart.

His beauty is really extraordinary, but fortunately her heart of martial arts is firm.

Under the leadership of the maid, the two came to the top floor of the painting boat.

The view here is wide, and at a glance, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Mochou Lake, which is refreshing.

However, there were already several tables of people sitting here at this time, and many people showed surprised eyes when they saw him coming.

It was the first time they saw Jia Jue in Fengyue.

After Jia Jue sat down, the maid asked him if he wanted some drinks and food.

"Miss Xiaolian said that Xiu Niang's culinary skills are unique, so no matter what, as long as it comes from Xiu Niang's hands, it can be fine." Jia Jue said.

As soon as these words came out, the people on the boat looked at him again, with surprise and sarcasm in their eyes.

The maid hurriedly explained: "Young Master, I don't know, but Xiu Niang's cooking skills are unrivaled in the world. However, Xiu Niang never cooks lightly. In recent years, she has never cooked before."

"Oh? Why?" Jia Jue wondered.

At this time, a diner said: "Miss Jia doesn't know something, this lady has rules, if she wants to cook for herself, she needs her confidant."

"Best friend?" Jia Jue raised an eyebrow.

The servant girl nodded: "Yes. Xiuniang has three questions, if she can answer all of them correctly, she will be her confidant, and she can cook for him."

Jia Jue laughed when she heard the words, this embroiderer is quite good at marketing, and just this trick is enough to make her reputation soar and at the same time keep the customers coming.

"So, I would like to try it. I wonder if the girl can tell me the question?" He asked the maid.

After the voice fell, the diners around all laughed:

"Zhuangyuan Lang, you are talented and learned, but the question of Xiu Niang is not a test of talent and learning, so let's just forget about it."

"That's right, if this embroiderer can't answer the questions, I can only drink a bowl of porridge here."

"Haha, if Zhuangyuan Lang drank the porridge, wouldn't he be spoiling his interest?"

……

The servant girl also quickly persuaded: "Young master, if you can't pass Xiuniang's problem, you can only eat porridge. If you don't like your son, it's fine. The chef at this time is Xiuniang's direct disciple, and his cooking skills are also superb. Very much."

Jia Jue shook her head and smiled lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, girl, but I still want to try this question. How can I miss such an interesting thing?"

The servant girl hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Since that's the case, please wait a little bit, my lord."

After finishing speaking, she went downstairs, and after a while, another tray was brought over, on which was a wine jug.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and looked over.

"My lord, this pot is not wine, but several kinds of ingredients. You can only take a sip, and if you answer five of them, you are right." The servant girl said to Jia Jue.

hiss!
Everyone gasped when they heard the words. They knew that Xiu Niang's question was difficult, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Who knows what's in the pot?He could only take one sniff, but he had to answer five.

Isn't this difficult for the strong?

Everyone gloated at Jia Jue. It seemed that he couldn't even answer the first question.

Not only them, even Ji Yun, who knew Jia Jue's keen sense of smell, frowned deeply. This requires not only a sense of smell, but also a good familiarity with the smell of ingredients.

Is Jia Jue familiar with the smell of ingredients?
Certainly not possible!

He is the young master, the earl, the number one scholar, how could he understand these things?
In the eyes of everyone, Jia Jue smiled faintly, and said to the maid: "Please open the lid, girl."

"My lord, do you really want to try?" The servant girl couldn't help reminding again.

Jia Jue nodded to her: "Yes, I'm here to help you."

The maid had no choice but to open the lid and put the pot in front of Jia Jue.

Logically, she should only be able to give Jia Jue a sniff, but she couldn't help being selfish and wanted to give him a few more sniffs.

However, what she didn't expect was that Jia Jue leaned over, sniffed lightly, and then voluntarily stepped aside.

She couldn't even help Jia Jue secretly.

"My lord, you..." She looked at Jia Jue in confusion.

Jia Jue smiled at her: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I have already smelled the ingredients."

Everyone looked at him funny when they heard the words, and sniffed it out with just one bite?
Could it be that he seduced that maid and let her help in cheating?
"My lord, please tell me." The servant girl glanced at Jia Jue, thinking to herself, should she let the water go on purpose, even if what she said was wrong, it would count as his pass?
Under their gaze, Jia Jue slightly closed his eyes and said:
"There are a total of twenty scents in this pot, namely: onion, ginger, garlic, clove, cinnamon, sesame, vinegar..."

Hearing that Jia Jue reported twenty kinds of ingredients in one breath, everyone at the scene widened their eyes and opened their mouths.

They subconsciously looked at the maid, but saw her eyes widen, her face full of shock.

He really answered?

"Girl, how did he answer?" Seeing her appearance, someone immediately asked.

The maid hurriedly came back to her senses, she looked at Jia Jue in disbelief:

"All, all. There are indeed twenty kinds of ingredients in this pot, and Mr. Jia's answer is not bad."

Everyone looked at Jia Jue with shocked eyes, how is this possible!

Just when they were astonished, a soft voice sounded:

"No one has ever been able to answer all twenty of these questions. Mr. Jia is really extraordinary. The next two questions will be asked by Xiu Niang herself."
