Chapter 679: Second princessThough Magistrate Li thought that Qiao Sha was too much of a fool in her head, she too was a bit interested in seeing how different this oil was when compared to the one that Qiao Lu and her family were selling.
" Soone co," she called one of her servants. " Take this oil and ask the cook to make so stir-fried noodles for
and Marquis Qiao."
One of the servants who was standing outside the office of the magistrate imdiately entered the door with a bow as she greeted the two won only then did she walk inside the room and picked up the vat before bringing it out with her.
It did not take long for the chef to send two plates of piping hot stir-fried noodles to the office since it was already lunchti, the chef was preparing to cook sothing and because it was getting colder, she planned on making so hot noodles with soup.
Thus, when the female servant ca with the order of the magistrate asking him to cook stir-fried noodles it did not take much ti.
" Ah, this slls nice," Qiao Sha praised as she looked at the noodles that slled heavenly, they were coated thickly with oil and the shine of the oil that was coating the noodles was sothing that she has never seen before.
What was more there was no extra sll, she could only sll the scent of sauces, spice and vegetables as for the scent of the oil in which it was cooked —— there was none.
" It does sll nice," Li ng agreed but she did not comnt any further, after all the oil that was sold by the Qiao family did not sll either but the thing that bothered her a little was that the oil tasted a bit bitter.
In fact, it could be said that Qiao Lu and her family were doing a great job after all the oil that was sold by the others tasted even bitter than the one that Qiao Lu and her family sold.
There was nothing they could do, it was the essence of the seeds even if they were to take care of everything, there will be a slight bitterness left behind.
In fact, the others wouldn't even notice this little problem but Li ng who was born with a picky tongue could always pick the slightest thing.
This was one of the reasons why she suffered from malnutrition. Even though she had enough money to eat all kinds of delicacies, Li ng who did not like the bitterness left in the food after being cooked in oil would only eat a little bit of her food and leave the rest.
Most of the ti she relied on boiled vegetables and at, which did not taste good either. But compared to the bitter oil-covered at, she thought that it was a bit better.
"Mhmm, this tastes good," Qiao Sha who already started eating comnted as she covered her mouth that was covered with oil. " This is really wonderful, I can taste the vegetables, sauce and noodles but I cannot taste bitter after taste of the oil. ng, why don't you try?"
Li ng looked at her good friend and sighed, she did not take Qiao Sha's words seriously after all she said the sa thing when they were at the banquet of the imperial family, telling her that the chefs have done a good job but when she took a bite ——
It was ….simply too bitter.
However, the food was already in front of her and for so reason unknown the chef has piled the noodles on her plate even when she knew that she could not eat properly and the food will be wasted.
Li ng thought that it would be too disrespectful to the people who worked hard to cook this al for her and thus decided to eat it even if her picky tongue was already ready to pick faults.
She picked up the chopsticks that were on the table and then hooked up a mouthful of noodles with them before bringing it to her mouth.
' Hmm,
this indeed tastes better.' Li ng thought in her head but she was already prepared for the bitter aftertaste but to her surprise even after she finished chewing and swallowing the bite that she took, the bitter taste that she was prepared to face did not appear.
In fact, all she could taste was the juicy pork that she just ate together with the noodles.
" Eh?" Li ng was stunned as she looked at the plate of noodles and blinked her eyes in shock. This oil…. It did not have any bitter aftertaste.
" Shocked, aren't you?" Qiao Sha was already on her second helping as she looked at her good friend who was looking at the al in front of her with eyes that were full of disbelief.
She however was not shocked at all, in fact, she expected as much from Yu Dong. In fact, if the oil had a bit of bitterness in it that would have shocked her.
After all, Yu Dong was soone who did things perfectly and never left any strings unattached.
Li ng stared at the noodles in front of her and then said in a daze, " Qiao Sha, I have to bring this woman to my side, no matter what!"
She has to get Yu Dong on her side, if Yu Dong's skills were to fall into the hands of soone sinister then she will die with tons of regret!
"I know what you are thinking," Qiao Sha's expression turned solemn as the smile dropped from her face, after what happened in the capital, they really needed soone like Yu Dong to protect themselves for the ti being or at least the second princess returns.
As she thought about the second princess, she looked at Li ng and asked, " Did you hear anything from the second princess? Was there any letter sent to you?"
