C148 (1/2)
A burst of fragrance drifted over from the kitchen, Qi Zhen's nose immediately caught a whiff of it, and searched for the fragrance to find a small stove.
Qi Zhen lifted the lid of the claypot and sniffed, ”What is this thing? ”Why is it so fragrant?”
Cook Chai wiped her plump hands on her apron and said with a smile, ”This is a stewed seafood for Master.”
”Just now, Adjutant Xiao came over. He said that Master wants to eat this.”
Cook Chai smiled, very proud that the dishes he made could garner such praise from Qi Zhen.
”Then we want the same one too!”
Qi Zhen giggled. This thing tasted good, it was so fresh that it could take one's heart and soul. Qi Zhen almost drooled.
”I'm sorry …” Third Young Miss doesn't have that many ingredients left today, so it's only enough to make this dish just now. ”
”Huh?” Why? But I really want to eat today. ” Qi Zhen was extremely disappointed.
Jin Se saw that Qi Zhen suddenly lost all color, and thought of a way, ”Why not Third Elder Sister personally deliver this to uncle, and also apologize on behalf of aunt, you can eat delicious food, why not?”
Qi Zhen clapped his hands, ”This is indeed a good idea! ”As expected of little sister.”
Cook Chai was also happy to agree. If there was one less thing, why wouldn't she be happy?
”Let's order another mushroom and green vegetable. It's plain and clean. We can have three dishes in a stew without any seafood. ”How about it?”
Jin Se suggested with interest, but Qi Zhen naturally agreed with both his hands and feet.
”Then we'll just send the soup over to Father first, and then we'll have Ru Chun and the others come back to get it.”
After the two of them had agreed on what to do, Qi Zhen trembled as he carried a bowl of seafood chowder to the entrance of the Mountain Water Pavilion.
Qi Zhen immediately replied, ”I'm guessing that my father is busy with official business right now.”
She leaned in closer, not daring to enter, afraid of disturbing the Governor Qi.
Jin Se agreed and followed behind Qi Zhen.
However, they could clearly hear the voice of the Adjutant Xiao in the house.
Qi Zhen was curious. The two of them would often sit down to eat together and there were only two of them.
”Wait and see.” Jin Se waved at her, causing her to lie down on the back. Qi Zhen became more and more familiar with carrying things, and now she could hold onto a small pot, but her mind was entirely focused on the inside of the house.
”Why did the overseer treat me to a drink today?”
Xiao Muzhi's experience was astonishing, after graduating from the Yellow River Military Academy, he had deep knowledge, and among the aides, he could be considered an expert.
”If I tell you to sit down and have a drink, then you can sit down in peace. There's no need for all those reasons.”
Xiao Muzhi did not have any feelings, but he still obediently answered, ”Yes.”
”I ordered the dishes. What's going on in the kitchen? Bring it here right now. ”
The Governor Qi was a little impatient, he could tell from his voice that Xiao Muzhi had lowered his head, ”I did indeed instruct the kitchen, so it must be more troublesome to cook, so it's still not done yet.”
”No matter how troublesome it is, it should be fine.”
The Governor Qi sighed, ”Forget it, just wait for him for a while. I still have something to tell you.”
Once Xiao Muzhi heard that something was up, he immediately stood up, ”If there's anything you need, feel free to tell me.”
”Aiya, just sit down and listen to me. If I tell you to sit down, then sit down. There's only the two of us here, so why are you being so formal?”
Qi Zhen was listening to them talk outside, the more he heard, the more he felt it was strange, this was not like something he was told to his subordinates, furthermore, this Xiao Muzhi caused her Second Elder Brother to be injured so badly, how could her father be able to endure and eat with him?
”I don't quite understand what the overseer is saying.”
Then, he heard a burst of clear sounds, which Jin Se guessed was probably because Governor Qi ate two mouthfuls of food, but Xiao Muzhi probably did not touch the chopsticks.
”You think that I'm your biological father? You should know that!”
After eating two mouthfuls of food, as if he was calming himself down, Governor Qi threw out a bomb, causing Qi Zhen to immediately stay still. He almost couldn't hold the soup in his hands anymore.
Fortunately, Jin Se had quickly caught the soup and gently called out, ”Third Elder Sister, let's go quickly!”
