Chapter 23 Prince Yu who promised to go bankrupt
Chapter 23 Prince Yu who promised to go bankrupt
Meng Chong looked at Prince Yu who was inexplicably happy, and his heart began to beat fast, fearing that Prince Yu would be upset and stupid because of the lack of money in the mansion.
After all, Prince Yu had already shown this symptom yesterday. Although the immortals in Chaotian Temple said that Prince Yu was fine, Meng Chong had followed Zhu Zaigui for ten years. He knew Zhu Zaigui's original personality and living habits too well.
But Zhu Zaigui had made him extremely nervous these past two days, as he was unable to grasp Zhu Zaigui's current preferences and personality.
Therefore, in Meng Chong's mind, there might still be something wrong with Prince Yu, but he didn't dare to say it.
Because in the past two days, everyone who saw Prince Yu inexplicably felt a sense of admiration for him that they had never felt before.
Faced with such a situation, how could Meng Chong dare to say that Prince Yu was sick?
Besides, where in the world is there such a good disease? Once you are sick, you will become wise and popular.
Obviously, even if Meng Chong cannot control Zhu Zaigui's personality now, he is still willing to serve Zhu Zaigui as before and be Zhu Zaigui's most loyal servant.
Zhu Zaigui patted Meng Chong's chubby shoulders, extremely happy, "Let's go and eat. I'm almost starving to death."
When Meng Chong heard Zhu Zaigui saying he was hungry again, he quickly led Zhu Zaigui to the small restaurant at a trot.
Zhu Zaigui was sitting in the small restaurant looking at the seven or eight delicious dishes on the table, and he was so happy that his teeth were chattering.
Zhu Zaigui first picked up a piece of stir-fried beef with green onions with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to taste. As soon as the beef entered his mouth, Zhu Zaigui could smell the unique meaty aroma of the beef and the aroma of the scallion oil after stir-frying the green onions. This feeling was so wonderful.
Meng Chong is a chef of Shandong cuisine, which is the first of the eight major cuisines and is famous for its taste. The reason why Shandong cuisine tastes better than other cuisines is that Shandong, where Shandong cuisine was developed, is close to the sea.
Therefore, under the active research and development of Shandong chefs of all generations, they also used seafood grown in the sea to make sea rice rolls, shrimp roe, crab roe, shrimp paste, fried flour, mushrooms and bamboo shoots to make broth. This kind of broth is like the original MSG, which adds a lot of color and freshness to Shandong cuisine. The taste of Shandong cuisine is richer and more layered than other cuisines.
Zhu Zaiqi gave Meng Chong a thumbs up and praised: "Well done, it tastes great."
Meng Chong listened to Zhu Zai's praise and immediately showed a happy smile on his face, "As long as Your Majesty likes it, I can cook it for you every day."
When Zhu Zaiqi heard what Meng Chong said, he immediately shook his head and said, "How can we only eat one dish every day? No matter how delicious a dish is, we will get tired of it. It's better to cook it every three or five days."
"Besides, it's such a waste to cook seven or eight dishes every time. My stomach is so small, and I can only eat so much. So in the future, you should cook less. Four dishes and one soup will be enough, and each dish only needs a small plate. This way, I can finish it, and it won't be wasted."
While picking up the delicacies on the table, Zhu Zaigui shook his head and gave Meng Chong new opinions and requests.
Meng Chong was listening to Zhu Zaigui's new instructions and nodded hurriedly, "I'll remember it."
After thinking of ways to make money, coupled with the effect of practicing Xiantian Gong in the morning, Zhu Zaigui was in a very good mood at this moment, and even his appetite was surprisingly good.
Meng Chong was happy and proud when he saw Zhu Zaigui eating so much at once, but he was also worried that Zhu Zaigui might upset his stomach by eating too much at once.
Meng Chong reminded carefully, "Your Highness, eat slowly. Be careful not to overeat." Zhu Zaigui laughed, "I am in a good mood today and have a good appetite. I won't overeat. But I have to remind you to cook lighter dishes in the future and don't use too much oil. Otherwise, not only will you feel sick after eating too much, but you will also get sick."
When Meng Chong heard what Zhu Zaigui said, he was immediately frightened. He thought Zhu Zaigui was suspecting that he had poisoned the food, otherwise why would Zhu Zaigui say that eating too much would make one sick?
"Your Majesty, I have never hurt your heart. These meals are carefully selected and prepared by me. After each dish is ready, I will take a small bite to taste it first."
Seeing Meng Chong so excited, Zhu Zaiqi hurriedly comforted him, "Hurry up and get up. I don't mean to blame you. What I mean is that eating too much oily and flavorful dishes will make people sick, so I just want to remind you to pay attention to healthy eating when cooking in the future. Don't use too much oil and salt. Use lighter flavors and more meat and vegetable combinations."
After hearing Zhu Zaigui's explanation, Meng Chong's nervousness immediately eased. He was afraid that Zhu Zaigui was suspecting that he had tampered with the food.
Meng Chong replied excitedly: "I know. I thought the prince suspected that I had tampered with the food. Woo woo woo..."
As he spoke, Meng Chong started to cry out of grievance, like a 200-pound child.
Zhu Zaigui comforted Meng Chong again, "Okay, okay, I didn't make myself clear and made you worry. I promise not to scare you in the future."
Zhu Zaigui made the promise without thinking, but Meng Chong was very pleased after hearing it. He thought Zhu Zaigui would really do as he promised and would never scare him again.
However, no one could predict what Zhu Zaigui would do in the future, so Meng Chong was destined to continue to live in fear for the rest of his life.
After Zhu Zaigui finished his meal, he became idle again. He rubbed his stomach, thought about his plan to make money, and laughed foolishly from time to time. This situation scared Meng Chong again.
Meng Chong never expected that Zhu Zaigui's promise to him would go bankrupt in the blink of an eye.
Meng Chong looked at the smirking Zhu Zaigui with trepidation. He carefully brought a cup of tea over and whispered, "Your Highness, please drink some tea to relieve your greasy feeling."
Zhu Zaigui took the tea brought by Meng Chong, took a sip of the tea, rinsed his mouth, gurgled it twice in his mouth, and then spit it out.
Zhu Zaiqi asked: "What kind of tea is this?"
Meng Chong replied carefully, "This is Taiping Houkui, a tribute from Ningguo Prefecture in Nanzhili. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I will not brew this tea in the future."
Zhu Zaigui said, "This tea tastes pretty good. Let's continue brewing it later."
Meng Chong was relieved when he heard Zhu Zaigui say this. He was afraid that Zhu Zaigui would not like the tea again. After all, Zhu Zaigui had just vomited after taking a sip.
After drinking the tea, Zhu Zaigui started practicing the movements of Xiantian Gong again. While practicing, Zhu Zaigui adjusted his breathing rhythm.
After he had a sense of energy, Zhu Zaiqi said to Meng Chong: "Go to the market and buy ten kilograms, no, fifty kilograms of brown sugar. I will use it!"
