All-Rounded Strategy Game

Zhao Qing didn’t know that he was being scammed. He nodded in agreement with Jiang Li’s remarks and said, “You’re right. The task of helping your Royal Highness massage is left to you, and you can get a snack."

"Yeah!" Jiang Li nodded very vigorously, expressing his loyalty, "Don't worry, I will give your Highness a good massage."

Xiao Qiheng: "..." This little **** is relying on his own legs and now he doesn't feel anything and just talks nonsense, right?

Hearing this, Xiao Qiheng wanted to tear him down on the spot, but after seeing that his legs were indeed not as stiff and cold as before, he gave up.

For some reason, Xiao Qiheng felt that his tolerance was surprisingly high on this little bastard.

In this way, Jiang Li stayed with His Royal Highness to wait for him. In order to take care of him nearby, he packed his things and moved into the small hall in the main hall the next day. Changed and was sent to the outer courtyard to do chores.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Li has been serving in the main hall for more than half a month, and his daily task is to take care of the daily diet of his Royal Highness.

Xiao Qiheng was quite satisfied with his service, feeling that he was a little more caring than the others before.

That day, Jiang Li sent Xiao Qiheng to the study, turned around and went to the kitchen, wanting to see what was for dinner tonight.

As soon as he arrived at the kitchen door, he heard Mother Zhou's angry voice: "This group of minions is simply bullying! No, I'm going to talk to them!"

Cuiya's voice also followed: "Sister, don't be impulsive, it's not a day or two for the secretary's restaurant to step up and down. You would only be ridiculed by them in the past."

"Then let them violate our Qinghe Temple? I can't swallow this breath! Too much deception!"

Mother Zhou walked out of the kitchen as she talked, Cui Ya followed her and persuaded her, Jiang Li, upon seeing this, stepped forward and asked what had happened.

Cui Ya dragged Mother Zhou, and told Jiang Li that she had gone to the restaurant to collect ingredients today.

It turned out that today the Secretary's restaurant used the imperial concubine to entertain the concubines temporarily, which caused the lack of ingredients. Only half of the lamb and some vegetarian dishes were distributed to them in the Qinghe Hall.

In this dynasty, royal family and nobles or people with a certain status do not like lamb, because the lamb taste is too smut, and they think that it is the food that the rough talents who are exiled from Guanwai, but ordinary civilians will use it. Lamb is the main dish because it is cheap.

Therefore, the half of the sheep that the Secretary's kitchen distributed today can be said to be an insult to Xiao Qiheng, the empty and imaginary prince, and I don't know where they got it.

In fact, this is not only the case of the Secretary's kitchen, including the previous small roads to collect charcoal, and only the broken charcoal left from last year was received. The day before yesterday, Cui Ya went to the Si Liufang to collect materials for the winter clothes for His Royal Highness, and finally received some quilts. The fabrics selected by the princes of the palaces are very common in color and material.

This situation is actually a common occurrence, but after a long backlog, Mother Zhou finally couldn’t help it today. She used to be a person next to Empress Shuyan, and she naturally felt distressed for His Royal Highness. , But everyone knew that even if she went, she would return without success.

In this huge palace, power is everything.

Cui Ya explained the situation clearly, and she was also very angry: "What a bunch of dog minions!"

Compared to the two angry faces, Jiang Li's eyes lit up, lamb! It's not too cool to eat lamb in winter!

"Where is the sheep?" Jiang Liyu asked them with joy, "show me quickly."

"It's inside," Cui Ya said, leading him in to see.

Jiang Li entered the kitchen and saw the half of the sheep on the table, he said "Wow", good fellow, it looks like it was just killed, and the blood hasn't been washed away.

He walked over and reached out to turn over the half of the sheep and looked at it. He found that the meat of the sheep was very good, moderately fat, and elastic, and he couldn't help showing a very satisfied smile.

Cui Ya watched him smile at the half of the sheep with relief, and asked inexplicably, "Xiao Ion, what are you smirking? This is a sheep, the smell is awful."

When she said this, her expression was disgusting. After all, mutton is really not liked by everyone here.

"I am smiling because we have a good food tonight." Jiang Li said.

Mother Zhou and Cui Ya looked unclear, so they looked at each other and asked in unison: "Koufu? Did I hear it wrong?"

"No!" Jiang Li clapped his hands and smiled mysteriously, "I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed of Grandpa, the God of Cookery. He happened to teach me a good way to eat lamb. Let's try it tonight."

Mother Zhou and Cui Ya: "What method?"

Jiang Li snapped his fingers and uttered two words: "Hot pot!"

Mother Zhou and Cui Ya: "What?"

Jiang Li's first reaction when they heard that they said lamb was to eat hot pot! Eating lamb hot pot in winter simply cannot be more refreshing. Imagine that lamb slices are rinsed in a hot soup pot. The delicious meat flavor comes with the tossing white smoke. Then he feels hungry when he is dipped in special dipping sauce. Back to the post!

Just do what he said, Jiang Li immediately rolled up his sleeves and lifted the half of the sheep to clean up.

Mother Zhou and Cui Ya didn't know what the hot pot he was talking about. Seeing that he was going to do a big job, they hurriedly followed.

Although these days, Jiang Li occasionally helped Mother Zhou fry a side dish, cook some noodles or something by himself, but he has never been a chef, and Mother Zhou was still worried about what he said. Ah, don’t worry about it, let me do it, although this thing is not delicious, there is no other way now."

"Who said it's not delicious? It's delicious." Jiang Li disagreed with this statement. "Lamb is to show off. I won't eat it if it doesn't show up."

Mother Zhou: "..." Is this kid's brain pretty funny?

Jiang Li cleaned up the half of the sheep, cut them into suitable pieces with a machete, and then cut them into thin slices and placed them on a white porcelain plate.

He cuts the meat very skillfully, almost every piece of meat is about the same thickness, which surprised Mother Zhou very much. Even she can't do this kind of knife work: "Xiao Ion, where did you learn it?"

"I practiced it myself." Jiang Li opened his mouth and said while cutting the lie, "I usually cut things when I'm done, and I'll be good at it after a long time."

"That's it." Mother Zhou didn't care whether his words were true or false, and she was still worried about what the hot pot he was talking about would make His Royal Highness unhappy, "Is there really no problem with you?"

Compared with her worries, Cui Ya, who was not too old, was attracted by the fresh food. She had been watching Jiang Li cut the meat intently, very curious about what the hot pot he was making would look like.

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for any problems." Jiang Li comforted, "In this way, if you are all right, help me prepare some side dishes?"

Jiang Li told Mother Zhou about the side dishes needed to eat hot pot for a while, and asked her to help prepare them. After all, she was familiar with the kitchen. As for Cui Ya, he asked for the stove and pot.

Jiang Li made a clear water pot, because there was no pot for mandarin duck pot, he simmered the soup while making seasonings. After working all afternoon, he got everything ready.

He made two pot bottoms and prepared an extra serving of other side dishes. In addition to Xiao Qiheng, he also kept it for Mother Zhou and the others.

When it was close to dinner, he and Cui Ya brought the ingredients to the main hall, and they happened to meet Zhao Qing at the door.

Zhao Qing saw him approaching with a small iron pot. When passing by, he smelled a faint fragrance, and couldn't help but ask him: "Xiao Ion, what are you serving?"

"Hotpot." Jiang Li dropped the words and put the soup base on the charcoal stove prepared in advance. Looking back, Zhao Qing took the tray in Cui Ya's hand and brought the other side dishes to the table. superior.

In addition to five dishes of mutton slices, Jiangli prepared a lot of vegetarian side dishes, such as shiitake mushrooms, radish, yam, tofu, green vegetables and other seven or eight dishes on half the table, and also made garlic, chopped peppers, and chopped green onions. , Sesame sauce and other dipping sauces.

In short, it is a very modern way of eating hot pot. He is still thinking about going back and frying another chili sauce.

Zhao Qing, a pure ancient man, was dumbfounded when he saw that half of the table was full of lettuce, and asked with a strange expression: "This is all raw, how can I eat it?"

"Eat it while it's hot." Jiang Li prepared the things and stopped talking nonsense with him. He turned around and went out to find Xiao Qiheng in the study.

When Xiao Qiheng came back to see the lettuce on the half of the table, his expression was a little strange, especially after he smelled the mutton, his brows were slightly frowned, and he looked up at Jiang Li and motioned for him to explain.

Jiang Li handed the chopsticks to Xiao Qiheng and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, winter is the time to eat mutton. It is a kind of warm and nourishing food. Specially prepared lamb hot pot, you can try it."

"You did it?" Xiao Qiheng raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly he would cook.

"Yes." Jiang Li watched him not move his chopsticks, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is absolutely delicious. If it doesn't taste good, you will punish the minion to eat the whole pot and pay you apologize!"

Xiao Qiheng: "..." Your expression doesn't look like you've been punished at all, but you look very much looking forward to it.

Jiang Li reached out and opened the lid of the soup pot. A thick white smoke came out. He reached out and fanned the white smoke. He picked up a piece of lamb with his chopsticks, put it in the hot pot, rinsed it a few times, and then picked it out. Dip a little dipping sauce and put it in Xiao Qiheng's bowl.

"Try it," Jiang Li said.

Xiao Qiheng glanced at him, his eyes fell on the scalded mutton slices in the bowl, and he was silent for two seconds before picking it up with chopsticks and putting it in his mouth.

The thickness of the mutton slices is moderate, and the fat and lean are very uniform. It is most avoiding to eat mutton. The time of Jiangli mutton is very precise. The meat is delicious and intact, although there is still a little mutton in the meat. , But with the help of the dipping sauce, it doesn't make people feel disgusted at all, but feels that the synthesis is just right.

A piece of mutton sliced ​​down on the stomach, it makes people feel unfinished.

"His Royal Highness, what do you think of the taste?" Jiang Li saw the wrinkles on his eyebrows slowly relax, and shaved him two more slices, this time with some peppers, "Try this taste, I need some peppers in winter ,sweat."

Xiao Qiheng refused to comment, but he also ate the lamb he put in the bowl with his chopsticks.

Zhao Qing guarded the side, looking at the hot pot in front of him, smelling the scent, feeling hungry, and almost couldn't help swallowing.

For this meal, they ate the dishes one by one, and it took a lot longer than usual to finish it.

The advantage of eating hot pot in winter is that it is warm. After a meal, Xiao Qiheng's whole body is warm, his appetite is satisfied, and his mood is pretty good. It is a rare compliment: "It tastes good."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "His Royal Highness likes it. I'll try something else for you next time."

Xiao Qiheng was noncommittal.

When he withdrew the table, Jiang Li whispered to Zhao Qing: "Guardian Zhao, there is also a hot pot in the kitchen. If you don't dislike it, you can go over and eat it together."

Zhao Qing was originally an informal person, so he would dislike him, and after asking for instructions from Xiao Qiheng, he rushed to the kitchen.

Xiao Qiheng rested for a while, and when he went to take a bath, he put Jiang Li to eat. After he took a bath, Jiang Li came back and started to massage him.

Xiao Qiheng's legs are already suffering from old diseases. Although Jiang Li's massage for him can help clear the blood, it can only relieve some of his discomfort.

Jiang Li pressed it while observing him from the corner of his eye, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Although Xiao Qiheng was reading a book, he knew everything about his actions, and said: "I have something to say straight."

Jiang Li's stealth sight was deliberate, just waiting for him to take the initiative to speak: "His Majesty, although the minion will massage the acupoints of your legs can help you restore blood circulation, but the symptoms are not the root cause, you still have to give the right medicine to cure it."

Xiao Qiheng moved his hands for a while and looked up at him: "Prescribe the right medicine?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Li nodded, "I need to find a professional doctor for diagnosis."

Xiao Qiheng smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and his voice gradually became a little cold: "You control a lot, do you think that loneliness is very pitiful? Get out."

It's not that he hasn't been treated, it's just that after so many years, hope has long turned into despair, Jiang Li's words are simply poking his heart.

"His Majesty is observant, the minion absolutely doesn't mean this!" Jiang Li saw that he was angry again, and he hurriedly went along, even exposing his scars. Get well soon."

"You?" Xiao Qiheng heard the words, his eyes fell on his lap, "What nonsense, which leg of yours is missing?"

Jiang Li looked sad: "The third one."

"..."

Xiao Qiheng was stunned for a while before he realized what he meant. He was extremely shocked that he was able to say such words shamelessly. His face changed several times, and he couldn't bear to throw the book in his hand onto his face. Lowly scolded: "Get out!"

"The minion retire!"

Jiang Li rolled away, leaving Xiao Qiheng half leaning on the pillow, and inexplicably remembered this little **** looking at him last time, and while crying, he said, "The slave is shaken by the majesty of Your Highness. "It's hard to control" the scene, and his face suddenly turns blue.

I never thought that there would be such a shameless person in the world!
