C126

Lord Xiao woke up early in the morning. Perhaps it was because there was a case to be tried today, but an important guest was coming, and he did not know why he suddenly came to this small place.

Although he had experienced a lot, everything was in the past now. It was already difficult for him to remain a County Order in this place, and now that the entire County Yamen had begun to move, the honor of this esteemed guest was extremely great.

Although he bought it, he did not know what exactly this thing was. He only thought that he had an extra amount of money, and when he brought it over to the kitchen, the chef did not know what it was yet. "Zi Qi, what did you buy this thing for?

"I don't know what it's called but it's called tofu. I don't know what it is. Aren't you here to try something new?"

"You little girl, I've never seen how to make something like this before. Could it be that this is the meat of some animal?"

Zi Qi could only shake his head.

"Whatever it is, you still don't know what strange thing you bought. If this thing can't be eaten, then use something else to replace it."

The chef did not have much hope. He mixed the tofu with some of the prepared dishes. At first, the chef did not care about that. When he was done, the aroma of the dish was very good.

It was a fish soup, and the chef didn't know if this thing could be made with the fish, but the cook had never smelled it before. He didn't know if it was because he had performed too much today or because of the tofu.

Zi Qi, who was standing at the side, was extremely excited when he smelled the aroma, "It's so fragrant, what's this?"

"Did you bring this tofu back?" The chef also looked bewildered. He then carefully scooped out a bowl of fish soup, "This thing looks pretty much the same as fish."

"Hurry up and try it. Such a good smell must be very delicious as well, right?"

The smell of fish was very faint, and it carried a very fresh taste. After cooking for so many years, the chef had never smelled this taste, nor had he tasted this taste, but the moment he tasted it, he felt that it was extremely tasty, and actually felt that the taste of the fish soup was so delicious that it wanted to bite off his tongue.

"This thing is really too delicious, Zi Qi, where did you buy it from?"

"That little sister gave it to me for free. I thought it was something ordinary. Although I've never seen it before, you've seen it before."

"I have never seen this kind of thing, the taste is a little similar to meat, but the taste has a special scent, I don't know what this thing is made of, it really allows people to gain experience, Zi Qi, you try it too."

At first, Zi Qi was worried that there would be some problems with the thing he just picked up, but after hearing the chef's words, he felt relieved and went up to try it. The taste was really delicious, and the cook said, "If you were to give this thing to your esteemed guest, the master would probably be happy, and I don't know if your esteemed guest has eaten this thing before, but I have never heard of it before."

"Since it's an honorable guest, you must have eaten a lot of things that we haven't."

"What you said makes sense." The chef was obviously very satisfied with his pot of fish soup, and before he could say anything more, someone came to urge him.

Lord Xiao had been staring at the purple robed young master, regardless of whether it was his appearance or bearing, he looked extremely noble, not like a person from a small place. Adding to that, Lord Xiao would not know what to say about this man with his identity, it was just that he was constantly wiping away his sweat.

"My lord, there is no need to be so nervous. I am just a small guard, I am not an esteemed guest."

"No, no, no. Since you are able to be a guard in the Prince's Mansion, how can we compare? You must be someone with a high status! The actions of this subordinate are a bit slow. Wait a moment, this dish will arrive soon."

The Lord Xiao noticed that the crown prince's hair was really not of any ordinary quality. He did not know what jade the crown prince used to make his hair look particularly precious, the palace was truly luxurious, but to think that a guard would actually be so wealthy, I think that this guard should be someone with an important position in the palace.

"May I know your name?"

"My name is Bei Mu."

"Sir Peking University!"

Bei Mu still felt that this name was a little strange, but he felt that this Lord Xiao was too nervous when he casually saw the serious face of the Lord Xiao. Did he really look that scary?

After a while, the dishes finally came up one after another. Originally, Bei Mu did not care about these dishes, because he had eaten everything before, how could he have any favoritism towards the dishes on the table.

However, from within the dishes, a pleasant smell wafted out. That smell was most likely fish, but it was mixed with an indescribable smell, which was truly unheard-of. Bei Mu was immediately interested, "What is this dish made of?"

How could Lord Xiao know what it was made of? He only looked at the fish, but did not know what Bei Mu meant. He could only speak with trembling voice, "This is a crucian carp fish soup, this thing cannot enter the eyes of an adult."

"Only fish?" Bei Mu raised his eyebrows, "Then I won't be polite."

"Please, Peking University's people."

Bei Mu was extremely interested in this fish soup, because the taste was truly appetizing. According to logic, there should not be anything that he had not eaten before, could it be that this was really just a fish with a special taste?

The sharp-eyed girl already gave Bei Mu a bowl of fish soup s. Bei Mu carefully distinguished the contents within the soup and very quickly discovered that the thing that was white as the fish was not the fish, but was really something that Bei Mu had never seen before.

Bei Mu tasted it and felt that the thing's taste had melted in his mouth. The fish's smell and the thing's fragrance had really melted into his mouth in an instant.

But in Lord Xiao's eyes, Bei Mu's face did not look even the least bit stunning. That Lord Xiao was really scared stiff, it seems like this fish soup was actually made from some unknown substance, and the taste was extremely bad.

Lord Xiao's face immediately became extremely unsightly, "Bring the chef that cooked here to me, what are you making? Can't you see that Master doesn't like it?"

The servant girl who was serving at the side was instantly scared silly and hurriedly went out to call for someone. Soon, the chef was pressed over and his face was filled with fear as he yelled out his grievances.

"What are you making? How dare you bring it up? Someone beat it up with force, and it actually offended the lord …"

"Eh?" Bei Mu finally reacted, looking at the excited Lord Xiao, "Lord Xiao, what are you doing? The food that you made is extremely delicious, I have never tried it before, and should be rewarded instead, how can I punish you? You are being unfair, to be honest, I have never tasted this dish before, what's this called?"

The chef felt like he was in heaven and hell. He did not know the name of the dish and did not dare to say that he had just cooked it. He had never tried it before.

Seeing how much County Order valued the chef, he dared not speak carelessly and could only answer timidly, "Reporting to this lord, there is no special name, it is tofu fish soup."

"Tofu? What is that thing? " Bei Mu had never heard of it, he never expected to be able to gain experience in such a small place. In fact, Bei Mu had heard that silk from such a place, but he never expected that there would be so many food that he had not tasted before.

This little one only just found out that there was such a thing, I brought it back from maidservant Zi Qi. I wonder where I bought it from.

"It's not bad, but you don't know where it came from, it's a pity, so I'm the first one to taste it, Lord Xiao, do you want to try it? The taste is really good."

Lord Xiao hesitated for a bit before extending his hand to drink the soup as well. The taste of the fish and tofu was extremely delicious, and Lord Xiao had never eaten them before, so his expression immediately became extremely marvelous. It was not easy for Bei Mu to be that calm just now, because the taste of this kind of food was very mystical.

"Where's Zi Qi, quickly call Zi Qi over." The Lord Xiao spoke.

Another person went to call Zi Qi. Zi Qi thought that he had angered the honorable customer who bought the tofu, and knelt down the moment he entered, "I'm sorry master, I didn't know that this thing wasn't tasty …"

Bei Mu was helpless, "You got up first, I didn't blame you, where did you buy this thing?"

"Huh?" Only now did Zi Qi look up. Bei Mu's skin looked very good, his young strong eyebrows and eyes had a hint of youthful brilliance, like the moonlight in the middle of summer. Especially when he was smiling, Zi Qi had simply looked at him and blushed, and even started to stutter when he spoke.

"I actually bought this from a girl. That girl didn't say anything and only told me that this thing is called tofu."

"Where did the girl sell it?"

"It should be because there's no fixed place. This servant saw that the girl was walking around and no one seemed to have sold her tofu, so she gave it to me. I didn't know whether it was edible or not, so I thought …"

"Okay, okay, your master doesn't want to blame you, but this thing is pretty good. Tofu? This name is a bit strange, could it be that this thing is made of beans?"

Seeing that Bei Mu was so interested in this, the Lord Xiao immediately said, "Does Zi Qi still remember what that girl looks like? He brought everyone to go and find her, but didn't you see that the master was interested in this tofu?"

"Yes, my lord, I will go look for him now."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's enough that Lord Xiao sent a few people to look for it. Now that the food has not been finished, Lord Xiao is truly swift and decisive."

The Lord Xiao laughed embarrassedly. Zi Qi immediately went down the stage, followed by a few County Yamen guards, and went out to find someone. By now, who couldn't tell that this esteemed guest's identity was definitely not ordinary?

The chef still had lingering fear when he came out, he looked at Zi Qi and said, "Luckily that esteemed guest is satisfied, if he is not, then I might not be able to come out today. Zi Qi, you must ask for help the next time you buy something, if you don't, it will take a lot of my life."

Zi Qi was scared out of his wits, "How would I know? At that time, I also felt that it was a novel, luckily the lord liked it, but who the hell is that lord, why is Lord Xiao so nervous, as though it was some amazing person?"

"I don't know either, but I heard it's someone from the Prince's Mansion. As for who, I don't know. Girl, hurry and find that person. If you don't go soon, you'll lose your temper again."

"I'm just looking at how good-looking that lord is."
