Chapter 228 Eating
As soon as Su Yu left, Anhuo came in to report, "Your Highness, Su Yu has made rapid progress. Now he can shoot arrows accurately even if he is blindfolded and uses sound to determine the location."
King Ye said: "Not only in martial arts, he has made rapid progress in reading. He can repeat everything I have said word for word without any mistakes. The policy paper he wrote is also very well written."
Anhuo said: "That's great. Congratulations to the prince for finding a good student."
King Ye glanced at Anhuo and said, "Aren't you the same?"
Anhuo still had a cold face and said: "It's all thanks to the prince."
Prince Ye felt that his guard still had the same cold face, but after hearing these words, he seemed to become more and more lively.
King Ye waved his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with you, please leave."
Anhuo immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
Anhuo disappeared in a flash. If King Ye chased him out to see, he would see that Anhuo had used his lightness skills to run towards the Su Mansion.
While flying in the air, Anhuo was thinking about what his apprentice Su Wanwan said, that her brother Su Yu was going to make a special delicacy today, which seemed to be called spicy braised beef. So before Su Wanwan left, he asked her to take away several large pieces of beef tendon from the mansion, as well as some beef hooves and beef offal.
Normally, no one eats beef shank. The meat is too tough and chewy, and hard to chew. Why would anyone cook it? What does "braised" mean? And beef hooves and beef offal—no one wants them anymore.
But this did not stop him from being greedy, after all, the hot pot he had last time was made by his own apprentice.
So, when he flew to the kitchen of the Su Mansion, he immediately smelled the rich aroma mixed with beef. Just by smelling the aroma, Anhuo felt greedy.
He rushed into the kitchen and saw his apprentice Su Yu and the cook Aunt Fang busy in the kitchen.
Su Yu said to Aunt Fang: "Aunt Fang, just stew the ox hooves and the internal organs in a casserole for half an hour, until they are soft and rotten. The same goes for the beef. It is cooked when you can insert chopsticks into it. Then, cut the beef into thin slices and stir-fry with red peppers. Finally, add some green onions and pepper oil.
Aunt Fang indicated that she understood, and she replied: "Okay, young master."
Outside the door, my younger sister Su Wanwan also squeezed in. Seeing the master standing at the door, she greeted him politely, "Master."
Anhuo said: "Yeah."
Su Wanwan introduced: "Master, the beef and ox hooves my brother made today are so fragrant. I have been craving them for a long time. Let's go to the flower hall and sit together. It will take quite some time to stew."
Anhuo said: "Okay."
Su Yu said: "Master, let's go together, it will take a while."
So Anhuo followed Su Yu and others to the flower hall. Su Yu bowed and said: "Mother, Grandmother, Nanny Wang, Aunt Qinxin".
Anhuo also said: "Hello, Madam Su, Madam Jiang."
Her younger sister Su Wanwan also performed the ceremony in a proper manner. Mother Su was full of praise for her daughter, saying that her recent ceremony had become more and more standard and beautiful.
Su's mother said gently: "Please sit down."
Anhuo looked at the Queen Mother sitting at the same table with him, and he didn't dare to sit down again. The Queen Mother winked at him, meaning, don't let me get caught.
So Anhuo could only sit down again with trepidation.
Su Yu said: "We have to wait a while for the food. We made some special dishes today, so the meal will be served later."
The Queen Mother asked curiously, "Oh? What kind of delicious food is this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Qinxin behind her couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. It was no wonder that Aunt Qinxin laughed, it was because Mr. Su was too interesting, and he would make some novel and delicious food whenever he had free time.
And it just so happened that every time he made food, it just happened to suit the taste of his own queen mother.
Look, every time at this time, the Queen Mother would show an expression of anticipation for Su Yu to cook delicious food.
Speaking of the Queen Mother, she was always the one who ate the most every time when tasting these delicacies. She didn't look like the noble lady she usually was, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea.
As everyone was talking and laughing, half an hour had passed by unknowingly. Just as the dishes were being served on the table one after another, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Su's mother looked puzzled and said to herself, "Who would come to visit at this hour?" As she raised her doubts, the person outside the door slowly walked into the flower hall.
When Su Yu looked closely, it turned out to be Qin Yuehua, the Miss Qin.
It turned out that Qin Yuehua had come this time deliberately to avoid the time when ordinary people would have a meal. Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished, and she came at an inopportune time and happened to catch up with the time when the Su family was having a meal.
At this moment, her face was flushed and she looked very embarrassed, and a sense of embarrassment welled up in her heart.
Before Qin Yuehua could speak, her younger sister Su Wanwan saw that the person coming was Sister Qin. A bright smile instantly broke out on her face and she quickly stood up and walked forward to greet her.
She ran to Qin Yuehua with light steps, like a happy little deer, took her hand affectionately and said, "Sister Qin, you came at the right time. Today, my brother has come up with a brand new delicacy. You are in for a treat. Come quickly, let's try this new thing together."
As Su Wanwan spoke, she enthusiastically pulled Qin Yuehua to the dining table and gently pressed her shoulders to help her sit down steadily.
Then she ordered, "Qingning, go to the kitchen and get a set of clean dishes and chopsticks for Sister Qin."
"Yes, miss."
Qin Yuehua sat on the chair, lowered her head slightly, and said shyly, "Aunt Su, Master Su, and Sister Su, I'm so sorry that I came so suddenly today and I'm afraid I disturbed your family's meal."
At this time, Su Yu, who was sitting at the table, smiled and said, "It is a great honor for our humble home to have Miss Qin come here! Besides, when more people come, it will naturally be more lively, right? So, you came at the right time."
Su's mother beside her also nodded repeatedly and agreed, "That's right, Miss Qin, please don't be so formal with us. Just treat this place as your own home and be at ease. As an aunt, I really like you, such a well-behaved and smart girl."
Qin Yuehua couldn't help blushing at the enthusiastic words of the crowd, and her head, which was already lowered, was now almost buried in her chest.
However, at this moment, the Empress Dowager, who was sitting at the same table with them, glanced calmly at Aunt Qinxin standing behind her, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and questioning, as if asking: What is going on? How could the granddaughter of Prime Minister Qin appear here?
Aunt Qinxin also shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
The Queen Mother thought again, what should she do? The granddaughter of Prime Minister Qin knows her. What if her identity is exposed?
So she looked at the guard Anhuo again. Seeing that he was not surprised at all, he must know something. Her straight gaze made Anhuo finally react.
Anhuo watched the Empress Dowager look at Qin Yuehua for a while, and then at himself for a while. It was rare, and he understood what the Empress Dowager meant.
So he took the lead in introducing: "Miss Qin, this is Madam Jiang, an old lady who was rescued by my apprentice on the roadside. She is now temporarily staying in the Su Mansion."
Qin Yuehua heard this and looked up to see the guard Anhuo there. She had felt too embarrassed to look closely, but following his words, she looked at the old lady Anhuo had mentioned. "Isn't this the Empress Dowager? Why is she here?"
This frightened her secretly, but she heard what the guard Anhuo said, which meant not to reveal the identity of the Queen Mother. Was the Queen Mother just Madam Jiang's intention today?
So she stood up and bowed, saying: "Hello, Madam Jiang. I didn't notice you just now. I'm really sorry."
The Queen Mother thought to herself that she was indeed the granddaughter of Prime Minister Qin, she understood things immediately. She said: "It's OK, I'm not an important person. Please sit down. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."
Su Wanwan also said: "Sister Qin, let's eat quickly. I have been craving for it for a long time. I told you that you came at the right time. This ox hoof has been stewed for half an hour. It looks soft and glutinous now."
Su Wanwan added: "These ingredients are taken from Madam Jiang's mansion. You can't even buy beef outside. The Jiang mansion is really amazing. Not only beef, but also cow trotters. I haven't even eaten cow trotters yet." As she spoke, she looked greedy again.
