Chapter 156 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 37
“You have to take the gifts, but they don’t have to be too expensive. The eldest prince likes paintings and ancient books.
If you don't know what to give, just choose two interesting paintings for the eldest prince. It doesn't matter whether they are valuable or not. "The cousin waved his hand.
Seeing this, Mu Qing already had an idea in his mind.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Qing and the others did not continue chatting, but started to eat. After they finished lunch and took a short nap, they were called by the teacher to start afternoon lessons.
Fortunately, there is less homework in the afternoon, mostly some courses such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, archery and horse riding, so there is enough time for them to rest.
After enduring two classes in the afternoon, the few of them followed Mu Qing without stopping and came to a small shop on the street.
Although the shop was relatively small and its location was a bit remote, it was very clean inside. Before they even walked in, they smelled an overbearing odor that instantly took away their breath.
"So fragrant and spicy!" my cousin murmured to himself.
"This restaurant is most famous for its fresh, spicy and hot food. I heard that the chef is from Sichuan province and his food is very appetizing." Mu Qing said as he walked inside. He didn't feel anything before in the academy, but now that he got here, his mouth started to water.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look." Looking at the bright sun outside, the few of them gritted their teeth and finally walked into the store.
Sure enough, although the shop was small, the food tasted great. Just as Mu Qing said, it was fresh, fragrant and spicy. Although they were sweating profusely, they wanted to eat more and more. Their mouths turned red from eating, and no one took a break.
When they finished eating what was in their bowls, they raised their heads one by one, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
"Wow, so cool!" My cousin patted his belly and leaned back in his chair.
He couldn't take it anymore. He was really full and couldn't eat any more.
"I'm full too." My cousin said while wiping the sweat off his face. If he ate any more, his stomach would explode.
"Ah Qing, do you want more?" The cousin glanced at the two people who had surrendered, then turned his head to look at Mu Qing who was still eating.
"I'm fine." Mu Qing touched his stomach. Although he was full, it would be no problem for him to eat a little more. He digested food quickly and it would be digested in a while.
"Why don't we both order another portion of tofu?" suggested the cousin.
Mu Qing nodded.
By the time everyone had finished eating, the sky had gradually darkened. A setting sun hung in the sky, emitting its last bit of warmth.
After saying goodbye to the others, Mu Qing returned to the room alone, carrying the little fox.
After returning to the house, the little fox jumped down and then turned into a human form.
"I'm so thirsty!" Zi Jin sat down on a chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and said while drinking.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. You didn't eat much just now." Mu Qing looked at Zijin's thirsty look and asked with a frown.
Originally, Mu Qing wanted to let Zi Jin eat some food, but the food at that stall was too spicy and the little fox couldn't eat it at all. Mu Qing couldn't let him transform into a human form in public, so he could only let him starve until now.
For a whole half day, Zijin just ate snacks and didn't eat anything else. He didn't even drink water, because even the water in the store was just light rice wine.
"Well, I want to eat fish and chicken. The spicy diced chicken looks delicious. And the boiled fish and mapo tofu also look fragrant." Zijin drooled a little as he spoke. If he could turn into a human form, he would definitely eat to his heart's content.
"Okay, then I'll go get you something to eat first. As for boiled fish and other things, we can go and eat them in a couple of days." Mu Qing nodded and walked towards the small kitchen, and soon brought back a bowl of chicken noodles.
"Eat it! This is all we have in the kitchen."
Zijin took the bowl and started eating. There were some thin pieces of chicken in the chicken noodles, all of which were selected chicken thighs, chicken breasts and so on.
The noodle soup was made with pre-cooked broth, paired with thin chicken, mushrooms, bean sprouts, etc. The whole bowl of noodles was so fragrant that even the cooked noodles had a meaty aroma. Zijin ate it very happily and finished the bowl of noodles in a few seconds, not even leaving any soup.
"This noodles tastes quite delicious." Zijin put down the bowl and commented while wiping his mouth.
"Of course it smells good. The noodles have been made in the kitchen since this afternoon and are only now ready." Mu Qing looked at Zijin with a smile.
"Is this the midnight snack prepared by the kitchen?" Zijin was a little surprised. He had eaten midnight snacks at the Mu family before, but they were either barbecue or ordinary soup. This was the first time he had eaten such delicious noodles.
The fragrant ones can even be sold in restaurants.
"This is indeed a midnight snack. It is prepared by the kitchen for the masters in the Mu Mansion. Although they may not eat it, everyone will get a portion." Mu Qing nodded. He understood why Zi Jin was confused. Although he also had midnight snacks at home, the quality was far different from here. Not to mention the ingredients alone, not to mention the kung fu involved.
"As expected of a noble family." There was a hint of surprise in Zi Jin's eyes. Although he had heard Mu Qing and others say before that the Mu family in the capital was very powerful and an aristocratic family, Zi Jin had never quite understood it before. He thought that the Mu family in the capital was just richer, but he didn't expect them to be so arrogant.
He is so arrogant that he doesn't even regard his arrogance as arrogance, but just treats it as an ordinary thing.
Mu Qing shrugged his shoulders, walked to a table not far away, took out all the paintings in the jar, placed them on the table, and opened them one by one.
"Are you looking at what gift to give to the eldest prince?" Zi Jin asked while eating a banana in his hand.
“Don’t say I don’t have ancient books or something like that. Even if I did, I wouldn’t be willing to give them away. As for paintings, I can’t think of anything to give at the moment, so I might as well look for inspiration from the ones I drew before.” Mu Qing nodded, opened the painting of fish playing with lotus in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
"Since he is a prince, just draw a dragon. Don't they say dragons give birth to dragons?" Zijin said casually without caring.
"If I give the eldest prince a dragon, it means I'm sending him to death." Mu Qing said helplessly, "But your words did give me some inspiration. A dragon has nine sons, and a fish leaps over the dragon gate...
Do you want to draw a dragon or a carp leaping over the dragon gate?"
Mu Qing looked at the fox demon who was eating a banana and asked expectantly.
"I advise you not to do that. After all, I can't beat Longzi." Zijin shook his head. Although he had never seen him, he had heard of Longzi's reputation.
Even though his physique is a little special, even if he is given a few hundred years, he may not be able to defeat Longzi.
Seeing this, Mu Qing gave up the idea in his mind. It seems that he should just choose the painting honestly!
