The Duke's Wife is Beautiful But Has a Dark Heart. Chapter 209

 Master Wen still had something to eat after finishing his meal.

 But if you have another bowl and eat too much, it will not be good.

The guy was a nice guy and said, "Sir, there are some side dishes in the store that are very delicious. The distinguished guests here like them very much. Why don't you try them too?"

 “You recommend one or two.”

“Smoked fish with black bean sauce, sweet and sour short ribs, mixed pig ears, colorful vegetables, seaweed and peanuts, spicy and sour bamboo shoots…”

“Okay, okay, these are just dishes to go with the wine. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I can't drink much. Let's have a plate of smoked fish and colorful vegetables!”

 “Okay! Sir, I'll give you a small portion!” The waiter was enthusiastic.

Hmm, this energetic young man is quite thoughtful.

The dishes were served quickly, in small portions, really small plates, and could be finished with just a few chopsticks.

 But it looks very appetizing, so I should have another bowl of noodles. If we are free tomorrow night, let's go there again!

While he was eating, he saw a woman passing by, her figure and walking posture... strange and familiar at the same time.

 I've seen her before!

 But where is it?

 What's wrong with me recently?

 Shaked his head, put down his chopsticks, and finished transferring the money. "Book a private room for tomorrow night!"

"Thank you, sir, for your favor, sir..." The waiter was afraid that he would say it again, so he said in an anxious voice, "What...the private room upstairs costs at least one hundred taels of silver."

 “I know it! It's time to spend your time!”

Master Wen looked down upon the clerk: I just don't want to be fooled, and it's not that I don't have money! Who do you look down on?

"hey-hey…"

Wen Ruoqing left the shop and walked forward, but he met a woman getting off the car at the small door of the pastry shop.

He frowned when he saw her, and his good mood was gone.

That is the path he wants to take, and there is no avoiding it!

So he walked forward without squinting.

The woman had sharp eyes and saw him at a glance. Came over quickly: "Father..."

 He ignored me and walked away.

 The woman looked on, shy and helpless. When she turned around, she saw a beggar sitting on the roadside, looking at her.

He couldn't help but become angry, "What are you looking at!? You're a stinking beggar!"

 She entered the shop angrily.

This person is none other than Wen Xianggui. She heard that a snack shop opened here, which tasted particularly good, was packaged very well, and sold very expensively.

 I couldn't bear it, so I ran to see it myself.

 When you enter the shop, two eyes are not enough.

  She is considered an “expert” and has been making a lot of new products this year. She is somewhat well-known in the industry. So, I think you can understand it if you take a look.

 But what she saw before her was still somewhat beyond her knowledge.

Leaving aside the taste, many of them were things she had never seen before and had never expected.

Is it possible to put so much effort into the appearance and sell it so expensively?

She didn't know that these snacks were discussed for a long time by Wen Yu and Yan Zhu, as well as Master Qing and Mrs. Qi.

These people are all very knowledgeable.

 Moreover, clarify the guests you want to face. They are the eldest girls and daughters-in-law of wealthy families. He has no shortage of money and likes to enjoy himself.

 Also, they are those who curry favor with the powerful and give them rare things. Or entertain at home to show face.

 Also, people come directly to the store to drink tea and chat.

 This is something Wen Xianggui could not have imagined.

  She looked at everything carefully, including the packaging... and ignored the little girl's greeting.

 Finally she said: "Everything comes together, help me pack the box. Get me a piece of each package too!"

The little girl in the store was a little surprised: "Madam, do you want to put it in a wooden box, a paper box, or a paper bag?"

“I want them all! Can't we pack them one by one?!” she said sharply.

Wen Yu personally served the shrimp toppings and soup, and also wrapped the uncooked noodles, put them in a food box, and asked Laba to deliver them to Pingting.

Although this noodle is not expensive, it is really rare, so let her try it too.

As soon as Taisun returned home, one of his subordinates told him that Laba was here and he was waiting at the side door to meet the general and his concubine.

 “What's she doing here again? Bringing food!?”

 “Yes, I brought a big food box.”

 “I knew it! Let her come here!”

The man went out and met Qiu'er who was picking up Laba.

He said in an imposing manner: "His Royal Highness Taisun has an order for Laba to go there."

Qiu'er knew that Taisun was thinking about the food box and was unhappy, "Laba, you go over there. The queen is waiting for this. I'll take it back first."

Laba was about to be handed over, but the man said, "His Highness said, Laba and the items he is carrying should go together!"

Qiu'er was so angry that she couldn't help it, but she didn't dare to do anything and hurried back to report the news.

When Taisun saw Laba arriving, he asked, "What kind of food have you brought?"

"Your Highness, it's shrimp noodles. The girl said that although this noodles are not expensive, it is not easy to make. So I got some and gave them to my lady to try."

 “Give me a taste... Huh!” Taisun said coldly: “Open it and let me have a look!”

Laba opened it obediently. Taisun took a look and said, "Sure enough, it's just a taste... Look at this plucking thing!"

"Your Highness, here are two bowls of noodles!" "Two bowls?!" He was more satisfied, and it seemed that he was doing his part.

"Yes, the store sells it for ten taels of silver each! We can't even touch it!" Laba was also very greedy.

“Ten taels of silver! Humph, I should have known she was Wen Papi! Someone is here..."

 “Your Highness!” It turned out to be Jiang Pingting.

 “Did you come here because of the smell?” He finally managed to get something back.

“I heard that the things Ayu gave to my concubine were brought to His Highness, so I came to take a look!”

"I've been busy all afternoon and didn't have time to eat. She brought the noodles, which was just in time. I'll make up for it first." He didn't beat around the bush.

"The kitchen must have been prepared for Your Highness! If you want to eat it, it will be served right away. These shrimp noodles... To be honest with Your Highness, shrimps are the best for me. I wonder, Your Highness, can I give them to you?" Jiang Ping Ting doesn't go around either.

"No, I'm hungry. Hurry up and put on the charcoal stove and cook some noodles!" he said forcefully.

This is also where the prince stays daily.

 The prince is afraid of the cold and likes to eat hot food, so he has all kinds of things.

He gave the order and in the blink of an eye, the copper pot was on fire.

 It makes Jiang Pingting angry, this person is really... getting thicker and thicker skinned.

So he also sat down.

“It just so happens that I am also hungry. Let's eat together with Your Highness!”

"Jiang Pingting, you are not afraid of me at all, are you?"

“Why did Your Highness say this?!”

 “Why are you pretending to be confused?”

 “What are you making noisy about?!” A gentle voice said, the prince arrived.

 Jiang Pingting quickly stood up.

The grandson also jumped up and went to the door to greet him, "Father, are you back?"

"Um."

The grandson personally took off the prince's cloak and asked, "Isn't it cold?!"

"It's not cold, why are you arguing with Pingting?"

Jiang Pingting smiled and saluted, "Your Highness, Ayu has brought some fresh shrimp noodles to my concubine, and I am about to share the meal with His Highness the Grand Sun!"

 “Shrimp noodles?! What's so strange about it?”

The prince asked and actually came over to take a look.

 “It smells so good...”

“Father, these are shrimps. The imperial doctor won't let you touch them.”

The prince looked regretful, "I don't want to eat, just take a look..."

 Jiang Pingting felt bad and said quickly, "Your Highness, please go back to my concubine's yard to cook..."

The prince said: "No need! Just eat here!"

The water is boiling and the noodles are in the pot.

 “This girl Wen Yu is very attentive and even prepares the noodles.”

 “I heard it's made with dried shrimps and goose eggs!”

 “Wow! So particular!”

After putting the noodles into the bowl, the prince said: "It's tasty...what a good name! It's a pity that I have been eating tasteless things for decades."

"Father, please don't..." Taisun looked at his father with a helpless look. He couldn't bear it. He made a small bowl and put two shrimps and two noodles in it. "You have a taste..."

 “Your Highness!” Jiang Pingting was worried.

"Don't be afraid, just take one bite. If you are fine after eating, take two bites next time." The prince was very proud.

When the noodles are in your mouth, taste them carefully and don't want to swallow them easily.

 As a prince, what can't he eat in this world? It's just that everything has regrets! Even he is not immune.

 Over there, the Crown Princess got the news. Xue Ying was nearby and heard it too.

 “What, shrimps for the prince?!” Xue Ying's eyebrows stood up and she screamed.

 She is very depressed these days.

 The Crown Princess is her aunt, and she has always been extremely pampering to her. In this East Palace, it can be said that there is nothing to worry about. Even if the pregnant concubine was tortured to death, no one would dare to say anything bad about her. Even the concubine's natal family did not dare to speak out.

But now, she has been so wronged and is being "butted" by her concubine all day long. Her aunt won't let her make the decision, and even stops her from making trouble.

 Taishun is even more so. I don't know how many days it has been since I entered my house. Not even going to the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year!

 She was dissatisfied and made a fuss. The empress didn't know how she found out, so she called her grandson to be scolded, and she was even harmed by it.

She was so angry that she just said a few offensive words, but she made the Queen kneel down for an hour...

 It's so embarrassing!

Now I finally got a chance and said, "Concubine, is this okay!? I'll go deal with this bitch!"

 She walked out.

 Originally, the Crown Princess also felt that Jiang Pingting was too serious and too strong! I'll leave it to you. Don't you know who owns this East Palace?

 But then I thought again, the prince came back from the hot spring village and his health was much better...

 “Come back!” She called the noisy Xue Ying back.
