The county magistrate now really believed that Song Yutong was not lying and that she really knew how to cook watercress.
The way he looked at her changed for a moment.
The person in front of me is really a goddess, but how does she know how to cook this watercress, and this kind of noodles, they don’t even have it in their house...
Now he looked up in confusion, a little worried that Mrs. Cheng was deliberately trying to fool him.
Song Yutong seemed to see the worry in the county prince's eyes, and raised his chin very confidently.
"If the county magistrate doesn't believe this is watercress, he can bring this dish over and show it to Mr. Ji."
Anyone who dares to order watercress must have tasted it before. Even if the taste is not authentic enough, it is still serious watercress.
After hearing her words, the county magistrate hurriedly asked his servant to deliver the tomato meat sauce pasta to Mr. Ji.
A villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
Ji Chengan was resting in the rocking chair when Eagle Guard came in from outside and knelt down in front of him.
"Master, the second prince has now gone to Xianping County and stayed there for a while."
Ji Chengan blinked his eyelashes, but did not open his eyes. There was a bit of leisure in his tone.
"Did he think I was still there?"
Eagle Guard lowered his head and said nothing. Ji Chengan asked again.
"What is he doing in Hampyeong County now?"
"Going back to the master, I heard that I have contacted Mr. Cheng and his wife and asked Mrs. Cheng to be his cook."
Ji Chengan suddenly opened his eyes, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.
"He is quite capable, but I'm afraid he's doing those plundering things again. When I go to Xianping County, I'm afraid that my previous traces have been found, but I don't expect that I've returned to Beijing safely."
Ji Chengan sat up and his tone became a bit cruel: "Go, send some men to Xianping County to see what he is going to do, and take this opportunity to ambush on the road. I don't want to see him in the capital.
"
"Yes!" Eagle Guard was about to retreat after receiving the order.
Halfway through, he was called back by Ji Chengan.
"Remember to send someone to protect the safety of the couple. If those two dare to betray me, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, I obey." Eagle Guard did not get up immediately to see if his prince had any other instructions.
After a while, Ji Chengan lay back on the recliner, put his hand between his eyebrows, and murmured.
"Don't let me down!"
In the county magistrate's house, Mr. Ji looked at the tomato meat sauce pasta in front of him. The expression on his face couldn't be said to be pretty, but it wasn't ugly either.
"It's really interesting. This Mrs. Cheng is really a treasure. Can I ask how this watercress is made?"
Mr. Ji's eyes were cold, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
The county magistrate looked a little frightened, and suddenly felt that his life was really in dire straits.
He quickly sent someone to invite Song Yutong over.
Song Yutong suddenly lost his good looks. This Mr. Ji was really difficult to maintain. In comparison, he suddenly felt that Ji Chengan was much better off back then.
You can eat whatever you want, and if you want to order your own food, you can give her some money.
Look at the man in front of you again. He should be the son of the same father. Why is there such a big difference?
"Master Ji called me here for what purpose?"
As soon as Song Yutong finished speaking, the county magistrate rushed to the back of his words and did not give Song Yutong a chance to question Mr. Ji.
"Mr. Ji would like to ask how Mrs. Cheng knows how to cook this watercress?"
Song Yutong had long thought that this man would definitely ask, so he immediately asked someone to find Cheng Hanyan. After a while, Cheng Hanyan walked in with a baggage.
Song Yutong opened the bag in front of this gentleman and placed several thick cookbooks inside.
Song Yutong found the watercress recipe book, stretched out her hand towards the county magistrate, and motioned to the county magistrate to take the recipe in her hand.
Seeing her arrogance, the county magistrate was a little unconvinced. He pursed his lips, glared at Song Yutong and motioned for her to send her over.
But Song Yutong pretended not to see it and just stretched out her hands without moving at all.
In the end, the county prince was so angry that he had no choice but to reach out and grab the recipe in her hand and bring it to Mr. Ji.
Mr. Ji opened this Western cookbook. There were many cooking methods in it, and the one on the first page was this spaghetti with tomato meat sauce.
"Where did you get this cookbook?" Mr. Ji held up the cookbook in his hand as if questioning a prisoner.
Song Yutong rolled his eyes and was not angry: "I bought it on the market! There are many places selling various cookbooks. I searched them all in order to learn cooking. The shelf where I put the cookbooks is not smaller than your bookshelf."
Mr. Ji and the county magistrate looked at each other, neither completely believing what Song Yutong said.
But I can't find any reason to refute it. After all, I don't see anything suspicious about her at the moment, let alone a spy sent by an outsider.
Mr. Ji asked the county magistrate to return the menu, ordered a few watercress dishes, and then let him go.
Song Yutong returned to the kitchen obediently and cooked all the dishes Mr. Ji asked for. After finishing the cooking, she shouted to leave.
Unwilling to stay here for a long time, the servant in the kitchen brought the words to the ears of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate also quickly asked someone to pay the two of them and let them leave quickly. Mr. Ji was not easy to mess with, and Mrs. Chen was also a troublesome customer.
When these two groups of people come together, they are really a Shura field. It is better to let people leave as soon as possible.
The county magistrate once again lamented the dire straits he was in, and turned around to continue serving Mr. Ji.
Song Yutong took the money given by the county magistrate and Cheng Hanyan got into the carriage and headed home.
"Husband, do you think it's Ji Chengan that Mr. Ji came to look for?"
Thinking of the overt and covert fighting among the princes in the imperial city for that position, Ji Chengan was obviously hunted down here.
Although he has left now, Mr. Ji has found his way to Xianping County.
If Master Ji and Ji Chengan had a harmonious relationship, they would have known that Ji Chengan was no longer in Xianping County.
But the other party didn't know about it, and it was obvious that he only traced it here recently.
Then this Mr. Ji might be the one who sent people to hunt down Ji Chengan in the first place.
"You said Mr. Ji has already traced Xianping County, will he trace us?" Song Yutong thought for a while and asked.
Cheng Hanyan drove the carriage and his tone was very indifferent. "This matter has nothing to do with us, just pretend that we don't know anything. They may not be able to investigate, and even if they do, they will pretend that they don't know Ji Chengan's identity.
He said he left after he woke up and we had no interaction with him."
Obviously Cheng Hanyan was much calmer than the panicked Song Yutong.
Song Yutong nodded to express his understanding, then tilted his head and leaned against Cheng Hanyan until he reached the mountain, still holding the Western recipe book in his hand.
