Chapter 162 The handsome master invites his wife into the family (12)
The secret guards were called by Bai Qingzhi to cut meat and vegetables. Bai Qingzhi learned of all the changes in the outside world through the system.
Xie Ziyi was not surprised when the two teams met in the air.
With his hands bowed in salute, Xie Ziyi raised his head and looked into Pei Yihuai's dark eyes.
"I stayed up late at night. Mr. Pei was in such a good mood."
Pei Yihuai lowered his eyes and smiled, "Young Master Xie, didn't you sleep too? It's very lively tonight. I'm here to see Miss Gong for something important. So, what's the matter with Mr. Xie?"
In the game of words, Pei Yihuai is no match for the old fox Xie Ziyi.
"Miss Gong and I are old acquaintances. Her father has a good relationship with my father. Considering the relationship, she has to call me brother, and Xie can afford it."
Considering his age, Xie Ziyi can indeed take on the responsibility.
But the emperor didn't agree, and everything was in vain.
When the siblings were in the most difficult time, no one extended a helping hand to the two young children and took them out of the abyss.
"Pei doesn't know Ms. Gong's past. Just talking about the present, Brother Xie's actions are beyond the rules."
Overstepping the rules? Hearing this, Xie Ziyi's eyebrows skipped a beat, and a trace of sarcasm emerged from the corners of his lips, "I overstepped the rules, so how should I judge Mr. Pei's behavior?"
Speaking of relationships, he has known Bai Qingzhi for a longer time. Due to the protection of his ministers, even in front of His Majesty, Xie Ziyi still has the upper hand.
How could Pei Yihuai know this?
Pei Yihuai came to see Bai Qingzhi today and wanted to tell Bai Qingzhi good news, but he didn't expect that she had already started to implement her plan.
Only the two of them knew the plan, and Pei Yihuai was instantly confident.
He put his hands behind his back and said confidently, "Brother Xie, Miss Gong and I have discussed it. I'm here to tell Miss Gong the progress of the plan. Unfortunately, the lights in Miss Gong's room have been turned off, so I'm a little late."
There were only a few secret guards and maids keeping watch in the yard, and the lights in the other rooms had already been turned off.
How could he fall asleep so quickly while talking? Although Xie Ziyi had doubts in his heart, he really couldn't refute what Pei Yihuai said.
It doesn't matter, he will let Bai Qingzhi tell them their so-called plan in the future.
Turning to leave, Pei Yihuai watched Xie Ziyi leave. He turned and looked towards the yard. Bai Qingzhi, who was supposed to be sleeping, was looking at Pei Yihuai in front of the window.
His heart skipped a beat. Pei Yihuai didn't want to disturb him, but he didn't expect to be discovered.
"It's okay, I heard a sound and asked someone to turn off the lights." The actual situation was that the system told Bai Qingzhi that the battle on the roof was fierce.
Bai Qingzhi thought of Xie Ziyi. Could it be that he was in love with her?
It's a pity that she is not the original owner, and will not circle around the Taifu like the original owner. She only has Xie Ziyi in her heart.
There are so many talented people in the world. As the eldest princess, the dividends given to her by her rights and status will not be wasted by Bai Qingzhi.
"It's not strange, Miss Gong. I'm really ashamed." She was filled with shame. It turned out that she was at fault first, but Bai Qingzhi was willing to forgive, and Pei Yihuai was ashamed.
If I had known that she was kind-hearted by nature, she would not be bullied by others alone.
Coming late at night, in addition to telling Bai Qingzhi how to pickle, Pei Yihuai hoped to leave a few guards behind to protect Bai Qingzhi's safety.
Thanking Pei Yihuai for his kindness, Bai Qingzhi told him that he had many experts protecting him and there was no need for him to worry.
"Thank you, Mr. Pei. I am not an important person, so I don't need to be so solemn." The secret guards coming out of the palace, if they can't protect her, don't even think about keeping their heads on their shoulders.
Even so, Pei Yihuai did not force him and asked someone to send some weapons tomorrow for the guards to use.
After sending Pei Yihuai away, Bai Qingzhi could finally sleep peacefully in bed.
Have a good night's sleep.
Bai Qingzhi woke up early to look at yesterday's finished product.
Time, pickling techniques, and smoking techniques are all related to the quality of dry goods.
Time locks the flavor, allowing the special flavor to be preserved, waiting for people to taste it, and then contribute everything to the taste buds on the tip of the tongue.
There is still half a month before returning to Kyoto, leaving Bai Qingzhi not much time.
Fortunately, the weather in Yancheng is very favorable, and year-round exposure to the sun is one of the keys to the success of Bai Qingzhi.
Among the dry goods, the one Bai Qingzhi is most familiar with is squid.
Dried squid tastes better than fresh squid and can be cooked in a variety of ways.
Cut into sections and sauté with minced garlic, or make into casserole porridge, or as a condiment for soup base. There are many other combinations with dried squid.
Good things are worth sharing, and Bai Qingzhi was not stingy, inviting Pei Yihuai to her home to taste the delicious food.
[What kind of delicacies has the emperor never tasted? Are you sure he will like them?]
"You have to like it even if you don't like it. I'm his sister, and the food I make is delicious!"
It's not that Bai Qingzhi is boasting. The deliciousness of some foods is not limited to the cooking techniques and the combination of seasonings.
The true flavor of food is the best condiment for delicious food.
Upon invitation, Pei Yihuai came not empty-handed, and brought Bai Qingzhi a lot of marinated seafood from local families.
Simple seasoning, compared with Bai Qingzhi's complex seasoning, simple salt can already bring out the freshness of seafood to the extreme.
"There are not many people who do this. It took a long time to collect them. After I told you last time, I sent people to search for them, and only these were found."
Several people in the yard shared the food. Bai Qingzhi took a small sip and drank half a bowl of white porridge.
Salty, too salty.
After taking a big mouthful of fish, Bai Qingzhi's eyes and eyebrows almost wrinkled together.
The saltiness overwhelms the umami, is the ratio wrong? No wonder people in Yancheng love to eat fresh fish. You can make delicious salted fish with only salt.
"Usually everyone takes a little as a side dish, but we can't eat it in one big gulp like you." Filling the cup with tea, Pei Yihuai placed the cup on Bai Qingzhi's right side, "Drink some water first."
Unable to eat the salted fish, Bai Qingzhi stretched her chopsticks to another place. The taste of pickled crab made Bai Qingzhi have endless aftertaste.
The condiments in Liyue Kingdom are not as plentiful as in modern times. You can buy spices from all over the country when you go out.
Using existing materials, Bai Qingzhi made Pei Yihuai a pot of seafood casserole porridge, a simple version of Thai seafood soup, and pickled seafood as side dishes.
The boiler and fire were set up in the yard all afternoon, and the meal was not finished until dark.
Xie Zi on the eaves is easy to eat without knowing the taste, and the sauce-flavored pancake in his hand suddenly loses its aroma.
When will the noble eldest princess be willing to condescend to wash her hands and make soup for others?
Others don’t know, but didn’t her mother-in-law teach her that only her husband can eat what she cooks?
Jealousy and resentment took over Xie Ziyi's mind at some point.
Looking at the fragrant courtyard, Xie Ziyi recalled that if he had let go, what would have happened today.
The meal lasted until Youshi.
How long they ate, Xie Ziyi was on the roof, blowing the wind.
The sea style was bone-chilling and cold, as if buckets of water were being poured on my head.
It was as cold as his heart.
A piece of it was opened to see what was inside, and then it was roughly sewn shut with needles.
When had he become so interested in Bai Qingzhi?
Xie Ziyi suffered a lot, and the laughter in the yard mocked all his past humiliating actions.
