C126 (1/2)

Lord Xiao woke up early in the morning. Perhaps it was because there was a case to be tried today, but an important guest was coming, and he did not know why he suddenly came to this small place.

Although he had experienced a lot, everything was in the past now. It was already difficult for him to remain a County Order in this place, and now that the entire County Yamen had begun to move, the honor of this esteemed guest was extremely great.

Although he bought it, he did not know what exactly this thing was. He only thought that he had an extra amount of money, and when he brought it over to the kitchen, the chef did not know what it was yet. ”Zi Qi, what did you buy this thing for?

”I don't know what it's called but it's called tofu. I don't know what it is. Aren't you here to try something new?”

”You little girl, I've never seen how to make something like this before. Could it be that this is the meat of some animal?”

Zi Qi could only shake his head.

”Whatever it is, you still don't know what strange thing you bought. If this thing can't be eaten, then use something else to replace it.”

The chef did not have much hope. He mixed the tofu with some of the prepared dishes. At first, the chef did not care about that. When he was done, the aroma of the dish was very good.

It was a fish soup, and the chef didn't know if this thing could be made with the fish, but the cook had never smelled it before. He didn't know if it was because he had performed too much today or because of the tofu.

Zi Qi, who was standing at the side, was extremely excited when he smelled the aroma, ”It's so fragrant, what's this?”

”Did you bring this tofu back?” The chef also looked bewildered. He then carefully scooped out a bowl of fish soup, ”This thing looks pretty much the same as fish.”

”Hurry up and try it. Such a good smell must be very delicious as well, right?”

The smell of fish was very faint, and it carried a very fresh taste. After cooking for so many years, the chef had never smelled this taste, nor had he tasted this taste, but the moment he tasted it, he felt that it was extremely tasty, and actually felt that the taste of the fish soup was so delicious that it wanted to bite off his tongue.

”This thing is really too delicious, Zi Qi, where did you buy it from?”

”That little sister gave it to me for free. I thought it was something ordinary. Although I've never seen it before, you've seen it before.”

”I have never seen this kind of thing, the taste is a little similar to meat, but the taste has a special scent, I don't know what this thing is made of, it really allows people to gain experience, Zi Qi, you try it too.”

At first, Zi Qi was worried that there would be some problems with the thing he just picked up, but after hearing the chef's words, he felt relieved and went up to try it. The taste was really delicious, and the cook said, ”If you were to give this thing to your esteemed guest, the master would probably be happy, and I don't know if your esteemed guest has eaten this thing before, but I have never heard of it before.”

”Since it's an honorable guest, you must have eaten a lot of things that we haven't.”

”What you said makes sense.” The chef was obviously very satisfied with his pot of fish soup, and before he could say anything more, someone came to urge him.

Lord Xiao had been staring at the purple robed young master, regardless of whether it was his appearance or bearing, he looked extremely noble, not like a person from a small place. Adding to that, Lord Xiao would not know what to say about this man with his identity, it was just that he was constantly wiping away his sweat.

”My lord, there is no need to be so nervous. I am just a small guard, I am not an esteemed guest.”

”No, no, no. Since you are able to be a guard in the Prince's Mansion, how can we compare? You must be someone with a high status! The actions of this subordinate are a bit slow. Wait a moment, this dish will arrive soon.”

The Lord Xiao noticed that the crown prince's hair was really not of any ordinary quality. He did not know what jade the crown prince used to make his hair look particularly precious, the palace was truly luxurious, but to think that a guard would actually be so wealthy, I think that this guard should be someone with an important position in the palace.

”May I know your name?”

”My name is Bei Mu.”

”Sir Peking University!”

Bei Mu still felt that this name was a little strange, but he felt that this Lord Xiao was too nervous when he casually saw the serious face of the Lord Xiao. Did he really look that scary?

After a while, the dishes finally came up one after another. Originally, Bei Mu did not care about these dishes, because he had eaten everything before, how could he have any favoritism towards the dishes on the table.

However, from within the dishes, a pleasant smell wafted out. That smell was most likely fish, but it was mixed with an indescribable smell, which was truly unheard-of. Bei Mu was immediately interested, ”What is this dish made of?”

How could Lord Xiao know what it was made of? He only looked at the fish, but did not know what Bei Mu meant. He could only speak with trembling voice, ”This is a crucian carp fish soup, this thing cannot enter the eyes of an adult.”

”Only fish?” Bei Mu raised his eyebrows, ”Then I won't be polite.”
