Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 56 Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork
Mo Qingli thought that Luo Zishang had gone far away long ago, but he didn't expect that his people were still near the capital. After pondering for a moment, he looked intently, and there was a delicate figure beside Boyang, wasn't it the one who had been sent away? Song Sicen?
Mo Qingli slowed down and followed Bo Yang and Song Sicen not too far away.

Song Sicen seemed to come out to buy some rouge and gouache, while Bo Yang followed her to protect her safety.

Mo Qingli followed silently, although she had already decided to leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, but before she left, she had to kill the enemy of the original owner's mother, which could be regarded as a regret of the original owner.

Bo Yang and Song Sicen wandered around for a while, and soon got into the carriage. They got out of the carriage when they reached a remote alley.

There was an exquisite wooden door in the alley, and Song Sicen walked in excitedly, vaguely, Mo Qingli heard her shouting excitedly: "Cousin, I brought you some interesting things. .”

Bo Yang followed closely behind Song Sicen, suddenly he turned his head, looked at the direction where Mo Qingli was hiding, frowned and stared at it for a while, and then followed into the room after making sure that there was no one there.

Mo Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes darkened, she turned a corner and went to a nearby pharmacy.

I had been to this pharmacy before, but I didn't know Luo Zishang's true face at that time, and I had a chat with Luo Zishang here.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy dozed off listlessly with his head on his head, and he didn't even notice that someone came in.Mo Qingli coughed dryly, and the shopkeeper woke up immediately. He didn't recognize Mo Qingli, and asked enthusiastically, "I don't know what kind of medicine this girl is going to prescribe? Do you have a prescription?"

Mo Qingli's gentle and simple smile made it easy for people to let go of their guard. She said softly, "My mother is seriously ill at home. I'm here to get the medicine."

After saying that, she reported a series of medicine names, and the shopkeeper didn't doubt it, he just thought that there was a big deal coming, and he responded beamingly: "Okay, girl, please wait a moment, I'll go get the medicine right now. "

Taking advantage of the time when the shopkeeper was grabbing the medicine, Mo Qingli looked out of the door. From this angle, she could clearly see the wooden door that Song Sicen and Bo Yang entered just now. , the carriage parked at the door is probably already in, and it looks like no one lives there.

"The girl seems to know that family?" The shopkeeper said this with Mo Qingli while looking for it.

Mo Qingli leaned on the counter, she lowered her eyes, but she didn't answer the shopkeeper's words, but asked, "How many years has the shopkeeper opened a pharmacy here?"

The shopkeeper held his head up and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "I guess, it should be 20 years..."

A dark light flashed in Mo Qingli's eyes, she raised her lips, and asked: "I have lived in Beijing for a long time, and I have never seen anyone living in that family before. I saw a carriage parked just now. At the door, I'm just curious."

"Hi." The shopkeeper gave a hearty smile and said, "That family is usually mysterious. Even I who live here all the year round have never seen the owner there. I only know that the owner there was After arriving in Beijing, I saw people coming in and out.”

Mo Qingli frowned, and before she could speak, she heard the shopkeeper continue to say: "The mansion is recruiting servants these days, and it has been filled up one after another in the past few days, and it seems that there is still a shortage of cooks. There are some tricky people inside." All the cooks who came here have been dismissed, and I heard that they are all going to get food from the Zuixian Tower during this period, but it made me watch the excitement."

Zuixianlou is the most exquisite restaurant in Beijing, and Luo Zishang is really picky.

The shopkeeper's mouth was broken, and he poured out everything in a sloppy manner. Mo Qingli's smile deepened, she squinted her eyes, and didn't reply.

The shopkeeper had already prepared the medicine, folded a few packs and handed it to Mo Qingli. Seeing Mo Qingli's expression, he asked, "Could it be that the girl wants to try it too? But yes, that family is rich and powerful. As an errand in the house, the salary is generous."

Mo Qingli took the few packs of medicine, ignored the muttering of the shopkeeper, and just said softly, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Seeing that she was really going to try it, the shopkeeper couldn't help persuading her: "However, it's very difficult to be a cook, otherwise I wouldn't have been looking for it for so long and couldn't find it."

Mo Qingli thanked her again, and handed over the silver ingots. She found an old man's house who lived alone, managed some money, and asked the two old men to prepare a speech, so that they would not be found out when they sneaked into Luozi Shang's mansion. unknown.She changed her face and voice with the potion, and changed into coarse clothes, so that she looked like a little woman used to rough work.

After making all the preparations, Mo Qingli went back to the door of Luozi Shang Mansion, knocked on the door, and within a few knocks, someone from the mansion soon opened the door, poking out a head, with a not very expression on her face. Friendly, looked Mo Qingli up and down, and asked cautiously: "May I ask what your business is?"

Mo Qingli raised a smile and asked, "Brother, are you looking for a cook here?"

The man nodded, seemed to question Mo Qingli, and said, "You?"

Mo Qingli nodded, and said confidently, "If elder brother can't believe my level, will you let me show off?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "I'll report to the steward first."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut again.Mo Qingli raised her eyebrows, everyone in Luozi Shang Mansion was full of arrogance, even a doorman was like this.

She waited patiently at the door for a while, then the janitor came over and said, "Come in, if the craftsmanship is really good, our housekeeper will naturally reward you."

Mo Qingli frowned, ignored the man, and walked in in the direction he pointed.

All the way to a room that looked like a kitchen, there was a middle-aged man waiting at the door, the man stroked his beard, glanced at Mo Qingli, and asked: "There are a lot of ingredients here, you can do anything you want You can do it, if you are qualified, you can enter the mansion, the salary is up to you to decide."

The housekeeper directly said that as long as there is technology, money is not a problem. Mo Qingli raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "No problem."

After saying that, she walked into the kitchen, and there were indeed ingredients in the kitchen. She thought for a moment, and her eyes suddenly touched the bamboo shoots that were abandoned on the side.

There was a smile in her eyes, and when she was about to start cooking, a lowered voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Housekeeper, Miss Yu from Zuixianlou is here..."

Mo Qingli followed the voice and looked over, it was the gatekeeper.

The housekeeper pondered for a moment, then he glanced at Mo Qingli, and said coldly: "Since Miss Yu is here, there is no need to hire another country girl who doesn't know how skilled she is, and give her ten pennies to send her away."

The man at the door nodded, and immediately wanted to send Mo Qingli away, but how could Mo Qingli let this opportunity slip away, and immediately stepped forward, pretending to be angry and loudly said: "You are bullying people! Try I’ve never tasted it, so how do you know that I’m not good at cooking! I’m not leaving today if anyone asks you for some money, let’s see what good dishes that Miss Yu can cook!”

The housekeeper's face turned black with anger, but Mo Qingli looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, so she couldn't really throw people out.At this time, a soft voice came from behind the butler.

"Why don't we have a competition between the two of us, and choose the best one to enter the house."

The person who came was a fair-skinned girl with baby fat on her face, with a slight smile on her face, but she looked at Mo Qingli with a very sarcastic look.

The butler suddenly laughed and said, "That's good, I can taste Miss Yu Yun's craftsmanship in advance."

Yu Yun seemed to be full of confidence, she was gearing up, she glanced at Mo Qingli, saw that her ten fingers did not touch Yang Chunshui, she looked a little disdainful, and said: "Look at your finger skin is delicate, it doesn't seem like you can do it. people who eat."

Mo Qingli remained silent, Yu Yun raised her eyebrows again, fighting spirit ignited in her eyes, the corners of her mouth raised, her face was full of disdain, she sneered, and said firmly: "You can't compare to me! I will let you I know what real cooking is.”

Mo Qingli shrugged her shoulders in disbelief, she casually picked up the bamboo shoot lying in the corner, but Yu Yun sneered, her wonderful eyes were full of sarcasm, and said: "Are you going to use this thing to cook? You It must be because you don’t even know what you can eat and what you can’t eat, and it’s no fun winning too easily.”

After all, she saw that Mo Qingli ignored her, so she picked up the kitchen knife without interest. Her knife skills are quite good, and she even carved carrots on the plate.

Mo Qingli was going to fry a home-cooked dish, but there was no fish-flavored shredded pork here. Although she didn't find fungus, but fortunately, there were bamboo shoots, which were picked at the tenderest season. She peeled the bamboo shoots neatly Cut the skin into thin strips.

When she finished cutting, Yu Yun had already exuded a refreshing fragrance, and even the steward shrugged his nose and took a sip. When Yu Yun finished, Mo Qingli just started cooking.

Yu Yun made a braised lion head, and she spelled out delicate shapes on the plate with great interest, not paying attention to Mo Qingli at all.Holding the plate, there was a sneer on his lips, his expression was full of arrogance, and he said, "If it's cold, it won't taste good."

Seeing that the braised lion's head looked so good, the steward also became interested. He took a sip, his eyes widened immediately, and praised: "As expected of the cook of Zuixianlou, she is really extraordinary."

The housekeeper's expression was extremely satisfied, as if Yu Yun had already been ordered by default, he didn't believe that there would be better food than Zuixianlou.Yu Yun walked up to Mo Qingli, and said with a sneer: "Young girl who wants to cook with bamboo shoots, I'm afraid I will disappoint you today. If you just left obediently, you might get a few coins as a reward, but now you are afraid You can't get anything."

Mo Qingli kept a cold face, and was not disturbed by Yu Yun's movements. Soon, her fish-flavored shredded pork came out of the pan.
