Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 221: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 18

"Boss Shen's dishes are really good." Lee Hyun-ji rarely praised. He had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but the noodles and side dishes at Guxiang Noodle House were unique.

Shen Guli smiled and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for liking it. I have prepared two more portions of the new side dishes for Your Majesty and General Xie to take back!"

Lin Shu came over carrying two red lacquered food boxes with carved patterns.

Li Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows, but for Xie Rong's sake, he let his men take it over. "Thank you, Boss Shen!"

Li Xuanzhi climbed onto his horse and looked at Xie Rong who was still standing there. "Arong, aren't you going back home?"

Xie Rong cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, please go back first. I still have something to say to Miss Shen!"

"Okay!" Li Xuanzhi turned his horse's head, patted the horse's back, and several officials who came with him followed closely behind.

Shen Guli turned around and stretched out her hand to invite him, "General Xie, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

He was originally going to tell Miss Shen that he would be going to the border soon, but was delayed by family matters, so he just remembered it.

The two of them returned to the main hall in the backyard where Shen Guli met guests.

"General Xie, please go ahead. I wish you a successful battle from afar!" Shen Guli knew about this a long time ago.

Her noodle shop has become somewhat famous in the capital. Many familiar faces from Fangchengwei often come to the shop to eat. It is also unique among the shops nearby.

Even though Xie Rongren is no longer in the capital, he can still save face for his brothers and friends for a while, and she still has time to find the next backer.

She wants to open more than just a noodle shop.

"I just told the Seventh Prince that he would take care of you when I'm not around. If you have any difficulties, you can go and ask the prince for help!"

"Thank you very much for your trouble, General."

Although Shen Guli said this, what she was thinking in her heart was that if Li Xuanzhi really wanted to help Xie Rong take care of her, then why didn't he give her a token or something? If she really encountered any difficulties at that time, what would she use to find someone?

He is a prince. How can a merchant girl like her meet him whenever she wants?

Xie Rong didn't know what Shen Guli was thinking, but he thought he knew Li Xuanzhi well enough, and since he had agreed to his request, he would definitely give an explanation.

As long as Miss Shen gets into trouble, the prince will not ignore it.

On the other side, Li Xuanzhi returned to his own palace. When the housekeeper saw Commander Zhu following behind his prince with a food box in his hand, he hurried forward to help.

Zhu handed the food box to the butler, who looked at the prince, "Prince, what is this?"

Li Xuanzhi sat down at the main seat and looked at the food box that had been handed over to the butler. "Open it and take a look."

No one knew what the butler was thinking of. He glanced at Commander Zhu, who kindly explained, "This is food sent by the owner of a new noodle shop that the prince opened! It tastes very good."

The housekeeper was even more confused. His prince was not a person who cared much about food. He had been to the battlefield and had eaten all kinds of food. How could the prince accept a food box sent by a merchant?

The housekeeper carefully lifted the lid, and on the top layer was roast duck sliced ​​into pieces and arranged in the original shape of a duck, with sauce and thin spring skin on the side.

Roast duck is not a rare delicacy, but it is the first time I have seen it sliced ​​into pieces, with meat on the meat and bones on the bones. I don't know how to eat the spring pancake skin and two kinds of shredded vegetables.

The second layer contains four round cups with different patterns.

"Hey, there's paper here!"

The corners of Li Xuanzhi's lips curled up slightly while he was sitting. He knew that businessmen valued profits and were used to flattering others. It was rare to meet someone in such a high position as him, so he had to climb up to him.

He had never seen anyone give a lunch box as a gift. There must be something fishy in this lunch box. Look, there are banknotes hidden inside.

Li Xuanzhi put down the water cup without even looking over there, and just casually instructed the housekeeper, "If there is a female boss named Shen Guli coming to ask for help in the future, you will come forward, housekeeper."

Having promised Xie Rong, he would not go back on his word.

The butler agreed and stretched his neck to look at the paper in Commander Zhu's hand.

Written on the paper are the names of the four side dishes on the second layer and the best ways to eat them.

Among all the vegetables, Chinese mustard greens, dried radish, dried cowpea, shredded cabbage, etc. are best paired with white flour steamed buns.

Sweet and sour chopped cucumber is perfect for refreshing after a big meal.

Dried pork jerky is suitable for maintaining meat intake when cooking is inconvenient during travel.

"This pork jerky is different from the ones I've seen before. It's thinner and easier to chew."

There is also a very common green bean curd in ordinary people's homes. It is a versatile side dish and can also be used as a condiment for cooking.

"Oh, these are all foods suitable for marching."

Zhu's unintentional sigh caught Li Xuanzhi's attention. He paused holding the letter and looked up at the two of them: "There's only a piece of paper introducing the side dishes in it?"

The butler looked at the food box again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Xuanzhi suddenly laughed.

Get up and walk over.

Because the gift was a gift to the prince, Commander Zhu and the butler did not open the round cup without further instructions.

"Open it and see what's inside!"

The butler took the initiative and opened them one by one, and all kinds of appetizing smells came out at once. Fortunately, they had just come back from a full meal, otherwise they could have eaten two large bowls of rice with the appetizers.

Being able to become the commander of the capital's defense, Zhu Yin is not a reckless man with courage but no strategy. He muttered to Li Xuanzhi in a low voice: "The prince must have made a mistake this time." The girl never even thought of bribing the prince!

Li Xuanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the delicate yet sharp handwriting on the paper, and chuckled softly. This Zhu commander was not that smart.

He had served in a frontier military camp for three years, and now he was holding the position of General of Cavalry, ready to go to the battlefield at any time. Boss Shen's gift to him was more irresistible than giving him a banknote.

"I underestimated her!" Boss Shen was more ambitious than he had expected.

Li Xuanzhi looked at the roast duck on the side and asked, "Did you tell me how to eat this duck?"

The four side dishes were introduced in such detail, it is impossible for the shrewd Boss Shen to miss the duck, otherwise her purpose would be too obvious.

Upon hearing this, Commander Zhu immediately replied: "I know this. I've eaten it in a noodle shop."

Zhu Tongling and Xie Rong are Li Xuanzhi's right-hand men in the capital and the frontier respectively, so Zhu Yin and Xie Rong have a good relationship in private.

Zhu Yin had of course been to the noodle shop that Xie Rong strongly recommended many times.

It's not surprising that he knows how to eat Peking duck, but Lee Hyun-ji stared at him for a long time.

Zhu felt a little uncomfortable. He touched his face and asked, "My Lord, is there something stuck on my face?"

Li Xuanzhi lowered his eyes and marveled again that he had underestimated Boss Shen.
