When the king of Beiling came, Xu Qing was cooking fish in the kitchen, and the smell was all over the yard. The king of Beiling took a deep breath and said with a smile, "our Beiling is a barren mountain and wild land, and there are few fresh river food. Fish and shrimp are rare things in our place. We can only eat them once in the Spring Festival. Today we have a good mouth!"

Li Changting: "why don't you say that there are so many cattle and sheep in your area that you never lack meat to eat? I don't think it's too lazy to spit out fish bones if you don't raise fish."

The king of Beiling couldn't help laughing: "can't you tell I'm being polite?"

Duanmu ring waved to them: "come and sit down. You're welcome. It's like coming to your own home."

The king of Beiling went to the round table in the courtyard and sat down. He asked suspiciously, "are there many people?" If there are not so many people to eat, how can we use such a large table?

Duanmu Xiang explained: "there are too many dishes. I'm afraid the small square table can't be put down."

The king of Beiling was very happy and felt even more hungry.

In the kitchen, Xu Qing put the last course of steamed pork with flour on the plate and called out to the outside, "come and serve."

Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang consciously went in and brought out the dishes in the kitchen and put them on the table.

The king of Beiling wondered why there wasn't even a servant here, and even the host had to do the dishes himself. However, he didn't think much about it, so he was attracted by the appearance and smell of the dish.

After washing his hands, Xu went out and saw an old man sitting at the table. His back was straight, his face was resolute, and his whole body was full of domineering spirit.

There is no doubt that this is Huling's grandfather, the king of Beiling.

Beiling king is well maintained. His long gray hair is neatly combed behind his head. He is tall and strong, with the unique temperament of martial arts people. He can't see that he has a grandson as big as Hu Ling.

Xu Qing doesn't know how to say hello when he sees him. She's not used to it. Secondly, the identity of the king of Beiling is special. Should she give a gift now?

"You are Xu Qing. I've heard a lot about you." The king of Beiling got up and gave Xu Qing a fist.

Xu Qing subconsciously also followed the boxing: "good Lord." When I came back, Xu Qing was very embarrassed.

The king of Beiling didn't mind. He said with a smile, "people in the river and lake don't care about trifles. Don't pay attention to these etiquette. Let's take a seat."

A round table was surrounded by seven people, and the deputy general who had followed the king of Beiling was also invited to the table.

Waving back the others, Li Changting handed the wine pot to the assistant general: "help yourself."

When the deputy general was about to pour wine for the king of Beiling, the king of Beiling waved his hand and said, "don't drink. If you are drunk, you will be afraid of delay." Then he picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of roast duck in his mouth.

"Delicious The king of Beiling praised it. He couldn't wait to say anything and put his chopsticks to another dish.

When the deputy general saw that everyone was eating on their own, he was not constrained. He poured himself a cup. Since he was afraid of delay, he would have a drink. One would never get drunk.

After sipping a sip of the wine, the deputy general brightened his eyes. Then he took another sip and exclaimed, "this wine is mellow and fragrant. It must be Huadiao, but it tastes like a new wine. It tastes mellower than old wine."

Li Changting: "it's flower carving."

The deputy general quickly asked, "where did you buy it?"

Li Changting: "I made it myself."

The deputy general looked surprised, and then sighed, "it's the first time I've drunk such good wine."

The king of Beiling asked curiously, "is it really so delicious?"

Their Beiling men drink as if they were drinking. The wine has the same taste, that is, strong.

The king of Beiling was born in the capital. He had tasted all kinds of good wine in the capital since he was young. On the contrary, he didn't like the spirits of Beiling very much. Later, he didn't drink much.

"Here, pour me a drink." Since it's a good wine, the king of Beiling naturally wants to taste it. A small glass is not in the way.

Half a glass of wine, the king of Beiling knew that it was a top-quality wine. Now he was not willing to swallow it. After tasting it, he sighed: "I haven't drunk such a good wine for many years."

Then he looked at Li Changting and said with a rude smile, "I'll take this pot of wine back later and drink it slowly. Next time you want to brew wine, remember to give me a pot."

Li Changting: "this wine is sold in Qingting square. If you want to drink it, you can buy it in Jizhou."

The king of Beiling blinked his eyes and immediately remembered that qingtingfang was not only a pastry shop, but also a wine shop. Qingtingfang's wine was as famous as its pastries.

The king of Beiling laughed and said, "I forgot. OK, I'll buy it myself next time."

Xu Qing peeled Li Changting a plate of crab meat and crab roe.

Autumn is the time to eat crabs. Today, the crabs in the market are big and plump. They don't need to be cooked. Steaming is the greatest respect for crabs.

The king of Beiling was a little greedy when he saw a plate of crab meat handed to Li Changting by Xu Qing, but he couldn't peel it himself. After Li Changting took the plate and ate it himself, the king of Beiling thought that he was really not considerate. Didn't he know how to take care of the guests?

When Xu Qing saw that the king of Beiling was looking at Li Changting's plate, he said enthusiastically, "I'll peel one for you, too."The king of Beiling immediately said with a smile, "well, please."

Xu Qing likes to peel crabs. He doesn't feel any trouble at all. He plays with the small scissors and pincers so well that the pieces of crab meat are complete.

The king of Beiling, who has eaten crab meat, is satisfied. It's definitely worth the meal today. He's not so lucky as situ Xiao.

After eating and drinking, Li Changting invited the king of Beiling to his study. Xu Qing didn't participate in the next conversation. She was busy preparing cakes in the afternoon.

Xu Qing directly fried bean paste in a large pot this time. A large pot of bean paste can make hundreds of cakes, especially mung bean cake.

The heat and the amount of ingredients are not difficult for Xu Qing, but stir frying bean paste is a hard work. After teaching for a few minutes, she handed the spatula to Yin Yao and Jiang Lu, and then watched the bean paste out of the pot.

It's a waste to fry so much bean paste carelessly.

Now the weather is not hot, cakes will not be bad, do more prepared.

Afterwards, Yin Yao and Jiang Lu put the cakes into the tray while counting them, and then recorded the quantity in the book.

"Boss, shall we go out to set up a stall tomorrow?" Yin Yao asked.

"The day after tomorrow. I'm busy tomorrow." Xu Qingdao.

She's going to the Palace tomorrow.

But Li Changting said that he would take her to "listen to politics behind the curtain" tomorrow.

At that time, they will have a big fight with situ brothers and sisters. How can she miss such a scene.

Now situ Xiao and situ LAN don't know anything. No, maybe situ Xiao will guess something from the trend of Fu Yin and Beiling King's coming to find Li Changting.

However, when the little prince returned to Beijing, all forces were brewing something. It's no surprise that someone was walking around at this time.
