idle king

Chapter 17
The atmosphere in the pavilion was weird, at least Ye Chu felt embarrassed.

The purpose of coming to the palace was to use the prince to promote Zuixiaolou, but when Zhou Chen brought himself here, Ye Chu knew that this plan might come to nothing.

Thinking about it, the two have just met, and in each other's heart, whether Ye Chu can be regarded as a friend is probably a big question mark.If it weren't for the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by myself that attracted people's attention, there would be no intersection between them at all.

For a person like myself, to be able to enter the palace, either His Royal Highness, or the prince acquiesced, wanted to ease the tension between Shizi himself and Jinling scholars, or he felt that he was a fake scholar and was just curious.After all, Ye Yu's recent actions are really different from most scholars today.

Ye Chu smiled wryly when he thought that he came to the palace to offer dishes in order to seize the time, but he didn't even have the qualifications to be recommended.

I still have a broken picture of Tucson.

But since these dishes were brought, naturally they would not bring them back.We can't see the prince, but there is a talented woman here.Hey, the number one talented woman in Jinling.This title will probably make those talented people flock to him.

"Princess, this is the latest dish developed by our Zuixiaolou. I have offended you a lot before, and today I am here to apologize to the princess."

After Ye Chu took the food box and opened it, a strange fragrance instantly filled the entire Xiefang Pavilion.

Before, Ye Chu was afraid that the heat would dissipate too quickly, which would affect the taste, so he completely sealed the food box and wrapped it tightly.

"Wow, it smells so good." Zhou Chen was still looking at the manuscript, but when he smelled the fragrance, he immediately put down the manuscript and surrounded him.Staring at the dishes in the food box, there was a faint green light flickering.

Looking at the Princess Zhou Jing, she still had a cold face just now, but after smelling the fragrance, her expression eased a lot, and she was secretly amazed, this fragrance is very unique.

Even Qin Wanqing, who always acted like a goddess of the iceberg, raised her head, took a peek at the food box, and hesitated to speak.

Seeing the expressions of several people, Ye Yu glanced at his mouth calmly, then took out all the dishes and placed them on the stone bench one by one.

On the contrary, the guard who followed all the way was very winking. After leaving for a while, several maids brought some plates.There are several pairs of silver chopsticks in the flagon.

"This dish is called sweet and sour carp." Ye Yu originally wanted to introduce it to these little whites in detail, but saw that Zhou Chen had already moved his index finger and picked up the chopsticks, while the other two women also looked eager to try it. , I won’t say much.

"There is a saying in the Book of Songs: Don't eat the fish, but the carp of the river. The ancients admired it, and it must have its own uniqueness." A talented woman is a talented woman. Before eating a dish, she must quote from the scriptures.

After Qin Wanqing finished speaking, she took a small piece into her mouth with some restraint, and while savoring it carefully, she subconsciously stuck out her small tongue and licked her lips. The slightly mischievous appearance that receded from the coldness almost didn't let the other side Ye Xiu couldn't hold back.

"It's really good. The fish is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is sweet and sour." After Zhou Jing tried it, she was full of praise.

As for Zhou Chen, he didn't have the time to talk at this moment, his mouth was already full of fish.

Because of the special treatment, most of the carp's spines have been softened a lot, and Ye Chu is not afraid that this guy will get his throat stuck.

Seeing that the two women just took a sip and looked at other dishes, Ye Chu continued to introduce: "This dish is called Dongpo Pork. It is a way of eating that I came up with on Dongpo by chance. Hence the name Dongpo Pork." Pork."

I saw that the dish Ye Yu pointed to had thin skin and tender meat, with a bright red color, which whetted one's appetite.

"The taste is mellow and juicy, crispy but not broken, fragrant and glutinous but not greasy. Tsk tsk, Ye Dacai not only writes poems well, but also cooks as well as the imperial chef. Brother Ye, do you want to consider coming to the palace to cook?" My private chef? I feel that you have a better future on this path!"

It can't be seen that His Royal Highness is also a foodie. After just one bite, he told the essence of this dish.But the latter sentence gave Ye Chu the urge to stuff his foot into his mouth.

After the three of them tried everything, they were already a little full.After rinsing her mouth, Princess Zhou Jing said with satisfaction: "Hmph, for the sake of these dishes, this princess will not bother with you. But from now on, at this time every day, you have to send a copy to the palace."

"Thank you, princess, for your generosity. No problem, I will definitely send someone to the palace on time." Ye Yu's eyes lit up, and he smiled brightly.

Isn't it just a dish? It's a small thing. Anyway, we will open a meal ordering service in the future, so it's just an extra trip.Hehe, even if I don't give money, can I still suffer?At that time, a little guidance and publicity will be regarded as prepaid advertising endorsement fees.

On the other side, Qin Wanqing wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

However, Ye Yu had sharp eyes and took the opportunity to say after seeing it: "Miss Qin, don't worry, she will also send a copy to the Qin family at that time. The younger generation also respects the old lady Qin."

"No need, thank you Mr. Ye for your kindness." Qin Wanqing refused lukewarmly.

Seeing his hot face against his cold butt, Ye Yu didn't take it seriously, but he was also a little puzzled. He could feel that the other party was deliberately alienating him, and he didn't want to have any intersection with him.

"By the way, Shen Yuan is going to hold a poetry meeting this afternoon. If Mr. Ye is free, you might as well go with us." At this moment, Zhou Jing suddenly invited Ye Yu.

"No!" Ye Yu rebuffed straight away, "If you can't talk to them, you still don't want to join in the fun."

He has a few catties and two taels in his heart, but he is very clear.Although he has an intelligent search engine in his mind, until now, Ye Chu has not really figured out whether this thing has other functions.If something goes wrong suddenly, it will be fun.

"Haha, brother Ye is indeed a hero who sees the same thing. Those scholars, who are full of male robbers and female prostitutes, are full of benevolence and righteousness. Hehe, this son is really shameless." Hearing Ye Chu's words, Zhou Chen clapped his hands and praised .

"My princess has heard that Mr. Ye has the reputation of being a scholar. At the same time, scholars, why can't we talk about it?" Zhou Jing first glanced at her younger brother, and then looked at Ye Yu, slightly surprised.

"There is a saying that is good, you are a scholar who is useless. I am afraid that I will feel uncomfortable when I stay with those people." Ye Yu shrugged and said without holding back.

Anyway, there are only four of them here, and he can be regarded as a scholar.As for Zhou Chen, forget it, he is afraid of being struck by lightning.

"You are a scholar who is useless! My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and brother Ye who knows me!" After hearing Ye Chu's words, Zhou Chen's face flushed with excitement, and he patted Ye Chu's shoulder and said seriously, "From now on, this son will recognize you as a brother."

"Hey, Your Highness, did I say anything? I didn't say anything." Ye Yu was a little dumbfounded at first, and then suddenly pretended to be stupid.

"Haha, I understand, I understand." She said and winked at Ye Yu.

The two women next to them were stunned when they saw the shameless looks of these two people.

Especially Qin Wanqing, none of the geniuses she met before was gentle and elegant, and even Zhou Chen restrained herself a lot in front of her, but now the two of them scolded the scholar for being useless at first, but then they acted like It's like nothing happened.

In an instant, Ye Chu's image dropped a little in Qin Wanqing's eyes.

A person who can say such words is either a peerless genius who is arrogant to the extreme, or is just a villain who wants to cater to the prince.

"When you go to Shenyuan, you don't have to stay with those people. Even if you don't prepare in advance, it's okay. The Shenyuan Poetry Club is different from the Jinling Poetry Club. It doesn't have to recite poems against each other. It's just for young people from famous families in Jinling. , to provide a place for gathering and leisure.”

Zhou Jing thought it was because Ye Chu was unprepared, and she didn't dare to go because she was scared.

"Sister is right, you will follow me when the time comes, and we can go to Xuanwu Lake behind Shen Garden." Zhou Chen said enthusiastically.

It seems that he was not joking when he said that Ye Chu was his brother.Being able to bring him in front of Shen Yuan, a son of countless famous families, has already proved a lot to outsiders.

Thinking that there was really nothing important to do in the afternoon, Ye Chu finally agreed.However, he planned to find a place where no one was around, and just slipped away.
