Su Tang and the princess saw them out of the mansion and watched them drive away in a carriage.
Just as he was about to turn around and enter the palace, a young man came over on horseback. He also carried a food box in his hand. He stopped in front of the palace and jumped off the horse with the food box in his hand.
The young man recognized the princess, but Su Tang was unfamiliar with her. However, standing next to the princess, he guessed that it was the eldest young lady Xie. The young man said, "The prince of my county sent me to send two roast ducks to the eldest young master and the young lady to taste.
"
Banxia went down the steps to pick up the food box, and the boy gave it to her.
The young man added, "The county prince and the others have agreed to open the shop in three days, and asked me to tell the eldest young master and eldest mistress not to forget to go there then."
Opening in three days...
This speed is probably too fast.
But the roast duck has been delivered, so it should be about the same.
Su Tang said he understood, and the boy bowed and said goodbye, riding away.
After entering the mansion, Su Tang said to the princess, "I will send a roast duck to you in a moment, concubine."
The princess smiled and said, "Prince Xin'an specially sent someone to bring it to you and Ting'er. You can eat it. My mother doesn't like greasy food either."
Su Tang returned to Jingmoxuan. Xie Boting was in the study, so she went in. Xie Boting glanced at her and flipped through the book, "Is the roast duck ready?"
Su Tang touched his nose and said, "I'm here to ask you whether you want to eat in the study or go back to the house."
Xie Boting closed the book and said, "Go back to the house and eat."
He and Su Tang walked back, where Banxia was bringing trays from the kitchen.
After entering the room, Su Tang put the plate on the table, opened the lid, and suddenly the aroma of roast duck overflowed, making people feel greedy in their stomachs.
As soon as Xie Boting sat down, Su Tang broke off a duck leg and handed it to him, "Try how it tastes."
Xie Boting had never enjoyed such treatment before, so he reached out to take it, took a bite under Su Tang's gaze, and after chewing it twice, Su Tang couldn't wait to ask him, "How is it?"
"Just so-so," Xie Boting said.
Su Tang frowned, "Isn't your evaluation too low?"
Su Tang broke off another duck leg and handed it to Banxia, "Try it."
Banxia was about to take it, but Xie Boting's eyes glanced over. Banxia felt that her outstretched hand was going to be burned. She quickly took her hand back, shook her head and said, "My slave's opinion is not important."
Ban Xia refused, so Su Tang ate it by himself, looked at Xie Boting and said, "It's quite delicious. Are you too naughty, or do you have something against me to anger these two roast ducks?"
"Just tell me which one tastes better this time or last time."
Xie Boting took another bite and said, "This time."
Su Tang, "...!!!"
After Xie Boting answered, seeing Su Tang looking at him with burning eyes, he said, "What's wrong?"
"Are you telling the truth?" Su Tang tried to calm down.
"Um."
Su Tang suddenly felt that the duck leg in his hand no longer smelled good.
What else are you eating?
I'm so angry!
Su Tang threw the roast duck into the bowl and said, "Eat it yourself!"
After saying this, Su Tang stood up and left.
Xie Boting was confused and looked at Banxia, "What's wrong with your master?"
Banxia wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. She was holding it in so hard that her face almost cramped, and she said, "These two roast ducks were sent by the King of Xin'an County..."
Xie Boting, "..."
Xie Boting almost choked to death on the roast duck in his mouth. He choked and coughed several times, "She didn't do this?" This chapter has been completed!
