Chapter 102 Wontons
Seeing that she was interested in this matter, He Yiniang told her the gossip she could hear in the market.
At the New Year's Eve banquet, the emperor pointed out two concubines for Prince Xiangzheng. It was said that the princess of Xiangzheng had been married to the prince's palace for several months and was not pregnant yet. The emperor was anxious to hold his grandson.
The third prince was canonized as the Xianli County Prince, and Xia Wanyu, the daughter of the Wenhua Palace scholar, was designated as the principal concubine, and Liu Qiangwei and Xu Jiaorong were the side concubines.
Zhao Wangshu had lunch at Accord before going home.
In the next few days, Zhao Wangshu did not go out. On the Lantern Festival, Yun Hao asked her to go out to enjoy the lanterns.
After nightfall, the two of them walked out and found that Zhao Yin was also going out.
"Brother, who did you date?" Zhao Wangshu asked curiously.
“Friend.” Zhao Yin walked away in a hurry.
Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows. After hearing this, he knew that he was not dating Xiao Bin. Was he leaving in such a hurry because he was afraid that she would ask questions?
"My eldest brother must be dating a girl. I wonder when he will bring this future sister-in-law back?" Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
Yun Hao smiled and touched her head, "Your taste is so good, my brother's taste is not bad either."
"Yun Hao, I just discovered it today. , you turn out to be so narcissistic." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
"The one who is close to vermillion is red, the one who is close to ink is black."
Zhao Wangshu put his hands on his hips, "Then do you think I am Zhu or Mo?"
Yun Hao smiled and said: "My Wangshu is a lively little rabbit."
"I am not a little rabbit, I am a little tiger." Zhao Wangshu bared his teeth and claws at him.
The two went out chatting and laughing, and came to the lively street market. Colored lights of various shapes filled the streets, shining like daylight.
The streets are bustling with people, including those who guess lantern riddles, those who watch lanterns, and those who sell snacks. It is very lively.
“Let’s go to the river to put out lanterns.” Zhao Wangshu took Yun Hao to buy lanterns from a stall.
Yun Hao picked two lanterns, one for each person. Zhao Wangshu wrote on the note: May the family be healthy and happy, and may Yun Hao be safe every year.
What Yun Hao wrote is: I wish everything goes well, and I wish to grow old together for all eternity.
The two set off lanterns by the river, watching the lanterns slowly drifting into the distance in the night. Zhao Wangshu looked at the people around him, "Yun Hao, I hope that we can be together every Lantern Festival. Put on the lanterns."
"Okay." Yun Hao held her handhand, eyes full of tenderness, "I will accompany you every Lantern Festival."
"Let's guess lantern riddles." Zhao Wangshu suggested enthusiastically.
“Okay.” Yun Hao agreed with a smile.
When they arrived at the place where they were guessing lantern riddles, Yun Hao went to pay the money.
The stall owner pointed to the paper posted on the shelf and said: "If you guess five correctly, you can exchange it for a square lantern. If you guess ten correctly, you can exchange it for a carp lantern. If you guess fifteen correctly, you can exchange it for a carp lantern."
“I want to change the rabbit lantern.” Zhao Wangshu said.
The rabbit lantern must guess twenty puzzles correctly before it can be changed.
Yun Hao chuckled and said: "Okay."
Riddle: Open half of the moon and put it in your pocket. The lotus flowers were blooming when I arrived, and the chrysanthemums were turning yellow when I left.
"Folding fan." Zhao Wangshu took off the wooden sign under the lantern, but looked at Yun Hao unconfidently.
“It’s a folding fan.” Yun Hao said with a smile.
Riddle: It is said that the horse does not look like a horse, and there is no one on the road. If you use it to make medicine, you have to catch it in the sea.
"Hippocampus." Zhao Wangshu guessed the answer to the riddle, and Yun Hao nodded slightly.
Mystery: When I was young, I was green and when I was old, I turned yellow. I crushed it into paper and tasted it. If you get it, it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth and cool in your belly. It is a good medicine.
"Licorice."
Zhao Wangshu guessed ten puzzles correctly at once, and the subsequent puzzles became more and more difficult. Zhao Wangshu was a little undecided.
Mystery: The white snake crosses the river with a red sun above its head, and the blue dragon hangs on the wall covered with thousands of gold stars.
Zhao Wangshu looked at Yun Hao with a grimace, and Yun Hao smiled and rubbed her head, "Last time we bought sugar-fried chestnuts, what did the boss have in his hand?"
"It's a scale!" Zhao Wangshu said happily.
With Yun Hao’s help, Zhao Wangshu finally guessed twenty puzzles correctly.
Yun Hao took the lantern from the stall owner, "Wangshu, congratulations, the rabbit lantern is yours."
Zhao Wangshu happily took the rabbit lantern, with eyes in his eyes Full of joy of victory, "Let's go and eat fresh meat wontons."
When approaching the wonton stall, Zhao Wangshu saw Zhao Yin and Lin Fang sitting next to him.
Lin Fang still disguised himself as a man, but when talking to Zhao Yin, he acted like a daughter, which was a bit coquettish.
Judging from the familiarity of the two, they must have had a lot of contact in private.
Although Zhao Wangshu didn’t have a very good impression of Lin Fang, if Zhao Yin liked it, she wouldn’t object.
“Brother.” Zhao Wangshu walked overGo, smile and nod to Lin Fang, "Mr. Lin, happy New Year."
"Ah, Happy New Year." Lin Fang was a little surprised by Zhao Wangshu's attitude. After all, the last time Zhao Wangshu saw her and Zhao Yin Very unhappy when we are together.
“Why are you here too?” Zhao Yin asked with a smile.
"What, do you think we are disturbing you?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a pouted mouth.
"No, sit down quickly, what do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat fresh meat wontons, big brother's treat."
Zhao Yinxiao, "Okay, I'm treating you. What would Jingyao want to eat?"
"Fresh meat wontons."
Zhao Yinxiao, "Boss, I'll give you two bowls of fresh meat wontons. ”
Not long after, two bowls of wontons came up, from Zhao Yin and Lin Fang.
But Zhao Yin, who loved his sister, put it in front of Zhao Wangshu, "You didn't eat much at night. You are hungry now. Eat quickly."
"Thank you, brother." Zhao Wangshu smelled the enticing aroma of the hot wontons, picked up a spoon, blew on one, and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious as always."
"It's for the meat filling. It's fresh pork, mince it and mix it with egg whites, then add chopped green onion, ginger, salt, and cooking wine and mix it well, so it's so tender and juicy," Lin Fang said.
"Master Lin is very knowledgeable about eating." Zhao Wangshu said.
“I understand a little bit.” Lin Fang smiled modestly.
On this topic, the two talked about the characteristics and cooking methods of food from various places, from exquisite snacks in the south to luxurious dinners in the north, from seafood in the east to mutton in the west.
Lin Fang knows a lot about the food from all over the world and talked about the unique cooking methods and combination of ingredients in different places.
"Young master Lin is so knowledgeable and talented, he must have traveled to many places, right?" Zhao Wangshu asked.
Lin Fang smiled slightly and replied: "The world is so big and full of wonders. Although I have not traveled to many places, every time I go to a place, I will taste the food there."
"Indeed, every place has its own unique taste, which makes people linger. I also want to travel around and taste the delicious food from various places." Zhao Wangshu yearned for authenticity.
Yun Hao smiled and said: "There will be opportunities in the future."
Zhao Wangshu smiled sweetly at him and said, "A promise worth a thousand gold."
Keep your word." Yun Hao said with a smile.
Zhao Yin coughed twice, "If you don't eat it, the wontons will get cold."
After the four of them finished eating their wontons, Zhao Wangshu pulled Yun Hao away, "Brother, let's go our separate ways."
"Is this how you read your book in vain? Is this how we go our separate ways?"
"As long as the idea comes to mind." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
