The second set of Case Files on Warehouse in the World Chapter 10 Harmony...
Happy birthday to Lou Ruosheng! Two updates are specially made for this occasion.
Everyone, please help me hold on to the front. After Xiao Lianzi finishes writing the manuscript on the 15th, he will use additional updates to catch up. If he still can't catch up at that time, it's Xiao Lianzi's own problem. Xiao Lianzi will self-reflect and accept any punishment in the group.
The arrival of Yan Yu unexpectedly made my relationship with Yuan Chen and Chun Yu Xian Xian more harmonious, which I didn't expect myself.
The change occurred after Ji Yu left the Xuan Yuan dynasty.
I still remember that day I had Chunyu make a thousand-layered feast, Chunyu's craftsmanship is simply rare in the world. If he were in our world, he would definitely be the first place winner of the chef competition on CCTV-2. I'd immediately become his agent. The advertising slogan is already thought out: "Handsome man, delicious food, ordinary prices, let you enjoy a master's feast."
Let's get back on track, the harmony between Chunyu and I have to thank Yuanchen's alms bowl from his monk days. Yuanchen's alms bowl wasn't made of purple gold or ceramic, but stone - a good piece of stone carved into a bowl, that's right, a stone bowl.
I remember that day I passed by the distant bamboo forest again, and unexpectedly played "Laughing at the Red Dust". Who would have thought that this tune has become popular now. I couldn't help but walk in, Yuanchen was playing the zither, while Chunyu sat aside carving something.
It was also me who made the footsteps, Yuan Chen and Chun Yu both stopped what they were doing and looked at me, making me feel a bit embarrassed, like I was a light bulb.
"Madam." The two of them spoke in unison, and were about to stand up and bow to me again. I quickly waved my hand: "There's no outsider here, don't...". Just then, I saw the stone pot placed beside the zither by Farong, a big round stone pot that made me think of stone-pot mixed rice.
In ancient times, wandering monks indeed had a habit of cooking rice with stone pots.
"Stone pot!" I picked up the stone basin, which had been used by Farong to raise goldfish. Inside, two red goldfish swam happily.
"This is a stone caldron, which I used when I was cultivating. I... couldn't bear to part with it, so I brought it with me."
"That's great!" I patted the dusty back of Farong like a man, "I haven't had stone pot bibimbap for ages! Haha, lend me your place, I'll go cook."
"Want to cook?"
"Start cooking!"
It seems that as soon as the two words "cooking" are mentioned, Chun Yu's emotions become particularly excited. He raises his eyebrows, tilts his mouth, and uses the bamboo in his hand to point at the stone pot, saying "What delicious dishes can be made with this!" The bamboo has a carving of an angler fishing on it.
I triumphantly picked up the stone basin: "Want to know? Follow me!"
"Madam!" Yundun suddenly tensed up and stopped me, "There's a fish bone stuck in your mouth!"
"Ah?" I was stunned for half a day, thinking that Far Dust thought I wanted to eat the little goldfish. That wouldn't be good to eat either. But Far Dust really panicked, his face turned white, it's clear that these two little fish are his family members.
I took a glance around, and the only thing that could hold fish was the teapot in front of Yuanchen. So I hastily exchanged it with him and snatched his stone basin for myself. And then Yuanchen just kept touching the teapot nonstop, as if he was caressing his own daughter, orz!!!
The Junyu family has been in charge of the imperial kitchen for generations, with a focus on fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. The dishes are carefully prepared to ensure that color, aroma, and flavor are all perfectly balanced. Only high-quality ingredients are used, as anything coarse or common is not worthy of being served at the royal table. As a result, rough and unrefined utensils are not acceptable to them, and they do not know how to use them for cooking.
Light the fire, I put the rice into the stone pot, and the stone pot stir-fries the rice to cook is quite simple. What's particular about it is the sauce that's stirred in at the end, and the Guardian Manor has a hundred kinds of sauces. There's even a whole courtyard dedicated to displaying the sauces, with large jars filling up the entire courtyard.
When I put the stone pot fried rice in front of Chun Yu, he was so surprised that he didn't close his mouth for half a day. He sighed: "Wow, it's really amazing! The stone pot can actually cook rice and make it smell so good!" From then on, he would often come to me to discuss how to improve the stone pot fried rice.
He didn't, he came to me with a stone pot again. I was humming the tune of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" for Far Dust. How can one travel through time and space without "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"?
Yuandust was on the side slowly finding the melody, and I began to impart the last dish of stone pot mixed rice to Chun: "The last dish of squid mixed rice, this time's sauce will be different, the taste is fresh, spicy, sweet, the fishy smell of squid needs to be transformed into a special fresh flavor, remember..."
"Madam! Madam!" The shout came from a distance, I turned around and it was the old butler again.
He's really something, every time he rushes like this, it's as if his life depends on it.
"Someone's coming! Someone's coming from the palace!" The old steward seemed worried that he wouldn't be able to say it in time, and shouted over from a distance. I stood up and looked afar, and indeed, behind him were several eunuchs, who had already surpassed the old steward and were hastily walking towards me.
It seems like I need to buy a pair of Teva sandals for the old caretaker in order to have that flying feeling. (Embedded advertisement, BS)
"Milady, His Majesty requests your presence at a banquet in the palace."
"Attend a banquet? Attend what banquet? And why so urgent?"
Yuanchen's zither music stopped, and Chunyu stood there holding a stone basin in a daze.
"The eunuch dusted his hands and said, 'It's a seafood banquet. The envoy from Donglai State sent over a batch of seafood, all frozen. If they thaw out, it won't be good to eat. Therefore, His Majesty has specially ordered us to quickly invite the lady into the palace.'"
"Oh~~" The conditions here are poor, it's already very difficult for ice cubes to last that long.
"Seafood?!" Chun Yu immediately threw away the stone basin with an excited face.
"Yes, these are things that can't be seen in the capital city, how novel." The old man said with a tone of novelty, "This time it's really testing Master Chunyu's culinary skills."
"Father." Chun Yu Shan couldn't help but whisper softly, a hint of loss appearing in her eyes.
"Think about it, patted Chun Yu: "Come with me.""
Sun Yu was taken aback, pointing at himself: "Me?"
"Ah, is Far Dust leaving?" I looked at Far Dust, but he put away his zither and his face looked a bit unsightly: "Far Dust will go practice the zither, taking my leave."
Yuǎn chén zěn me yàng bù gāo xìng? -> Why does Yuanchen seem unhappy?
However, I didn't think much of it and took Chunyu into the palace. As for Nangong, he went somewhere today and wasn't called along.
Sun Yu was stunned all the way, his face had no smile of surprise, nor the flattering expression before, but just stared blankly at a certain place, his small mouth slightly open, as if he couldn't figure out something.
The last time he made this expression was when I was making stone pot bibimbap, and he looked at me with that look for a whole hour, wherever I went, he saw it.
Today he is like this again.
"Junyu, what's wrong with you again?"
Sun Yu blinked his eyes and was still alive.
"Madam, why did you bring Xun Yu instead of Nangong?"
"Hahaha……" I laughed complacently, "I have seven husbands, can't always bring one, besides, Nangong is not as good-looking as you." I raised an eyebrow playfully, but this time Chunyu didn't show any disgust or chill, instead his expression turned calm and he looked at me seriously for a while before speaking: "Thank you."
A word of thanks made me blush slightly, I turned my head aside, and the carriage had already entered the palace.
Two updates today, please wait a bit. There will be an additional update at 2000 when the collection is complete. Hehe, let's celebrate. Still 300 to go, everyone come on and collect!
