Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 32 Fried Chicken Drumsticks

Everyone who can survive in the capital will not be a pure lamb. The reason why the seventh prince is so interested in Li Xin is not entirely because of Li Xin's ability, he is more interested in Li Xin. The identity of Li Xin, the illegitimate son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

To be more precise, he took a fancy to the military power in the hands of the Pingnanhou Mansion, not that he would use this army to rebel, but Li Chun, the young prince of the Pingnanhou Mansion, who was with the court on weekdays. The other prince was very close, and he wanted to pull Li Xin into his own camp, just to use Li Xin's identity to check and balance the little Marquis of Pingnan Houfu.

But these are things to come later. Now the dispute between Li Xin and the Nanhou Mansion has come to an end for the time being. From the overall point of view, it is natural that the Ping Nanhou Mansion was a complete defeat and was played by Li Xin, a commoner, in the applause, but Li Xin himself also Not feeling well, leaving a scar on his forehead.

   Fortunately, the scar is not very deep, and only a small part is on the forehead, and most of it is in the hair, so it is not obvious.

The day after Mrs. Yu came to apologize, a family member from the Pingnanhou Mansion came to hand Li Xin a small box. The small box contained a stack of bills, all of which were bearer drafts of one hundred copper coins from Datong Qianzhuang. Li Xin counted them and found a total of twenty.

   That is to say, a total of 2,000 coins.

Although this amount of money is not particularly large, for Li Xin at present, it is already a windfall. After all, the small yard he rents only needs two yuan a month. These two thousand yuan are enough for him. He also has two grandsons and grandsons of the charcoal seller, who have lived in the capital for a long time.

Now that you have money, you don't have to worry about making a living. In addition, Li Xin's head injury is still not easy. In the next few days, Li Xin spent dozens of dollars to buy a lot of New Year's goods in the market. Honestly prepare for the New Year at home.

   Time passed like this for several days, and in a blink of an eye it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

Since the next day was the day to worship the Kitchen God, there were not many people on the streets of the capital on this day. Every family was at home, preparing for the next day's new year. Li Xin's side was no exception. After I bought two big fat roosters, I have already peeled and washed them myself.

  Li Xin did not have the habit of offering sacrifices to gods, so he planned to take care of the two chickens himself, without the need for the kitchen master.

Since he came to this world, the thing he was most unaccustomed to was eating. In the beginning, it was the charcoal seller who was in charge of the meals. , In the first few days, Li Xin was able to bite his teeth and eat it purely for survival.

   Now that he has money, he naturally wants to improve his life.

The four drumsticks of the two chickens were chopped off by Li Xin, and then he beat two eggs aside for later use. After the oil in the pot boiled, Li Xin rolled the drumsticks in the egg mixture, and then rolled them in the flour. After a circle, it started to fry in the pan.

The    crackling sound exploded in the kitchen.

  The charcoal girl who was burning a fire under the stove stretched her head out to look at Li Xin, then retracted her head again.

Although she didn't know what Li Xin was doing, after nearly a month of getting along, both their grandparents and grandchildren had already treated Li Xin as a family member, especially after the charcoal seller fell ill, the little girl even regarded Li Xin as a family member. is his own reliance.

   If it was in the past, if Li Xin poured half a pot of oil into it like this, the little girl would have jumped in a hurry, but now, no matter what Li Xin does, she will not question anything.

After a while, the chicken legs in the frying pan turned golden yellow. Li Xin picked them out with chopsticks, then wrapped them in egg liquid and flour. After repeating this several times, four golden chicken thighs were removed from the frying pan by Li Xin. fished out.

That's right, this is the fried chicken drumstick of later generations. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no such thing as bread crumbs in this era, so the fried drumstick is a little different from the later generation's kind of drumstick in appearance, but it is still roughly the same in appearance. Almost, Li Xin grabbed one by himself, and couldn't wait to take a bite.

   Well, the texture is crispy.

  The taste is roughly the same as later generations of fried chicken thighs, especially after being sprinkled with pepper.

   Li Xin nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to take care of the little girl who had been watching for a long time.

   "Come on, it's done, come and taste."

  The little girl nodded, went forward to learn how she remembered, grabbed a chicken leg with her hand, and took a small bite.

   Just when Li Xinzheng was about to ask the little girl if the food was good, a familiar voice rang in the yard.

   "What are you doing delicious, you can smell it from afar."

  Li Xin frowned slightly.

   is the seventh prince.

  Li Xin's brows were only wrinkled for a moment, then stretched out instantly, and then he squeezed out a standard smile on his face, walked out of the kitchen, bent over and clasped his fists at the seventh son: "I have seen the seventh son."

The seventh prince smiled and helped Li Xin up, and then burrowed into the kitchen on his own. After seeing the two chicken legs left beside the pot, the seventh prince of the Great Jin brightened his eyes and directly reached out and took one. In his hand, he opened his mouth to take a bite, and said as he nibbled, "It's so fragrant, no wonder I smelled it in the yard. Fortunately, my son came in time, otherwise I would have missed such a delicious dish."

   At this time, the face of the seventh prince was full of oil, and there was no image of a prince of the heavenly family at all.

   A black line appeared on Li Xin's forehead.

   This Seventh Young Master really doesn't consider himself an outsider anymore.

  After nibbling two bites of the chicken drumstick, he shouted that it was delicious, and gestured towards the kitchen door: "Xiaojiu, come in quickly, there is still a drumstick here, if you don't come in, it will be gone."

Li Xin looked up in amazement, only to find a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, standing at the door of the kitchen. After the seventh son finished speaking, the girl slowly walked into the kitchen and picked up the last chicken leg. …

   It was only at this time that he realized that the seventh son did not come alone.

   This guy... I didn't even need to eat and take it before, but this time I brought people to eat it!

  Li Xin smiled reluctantly and asked the seventh son, "Master, who is this?"

Seventh Young Master waved his hand indifferently, and said with a soft laugh, "This is the maid next to this Young Master. She has been with me for many years. She usually serves by my son's side, and usually doesn't bring them out of the house. This girl is rather greedy. After eating the mutton skewer you made, if you insisted on clamoring to come and see you, my son brought her here."

   Li Xin nodded and said nothing.

   This Seventh Young Master, being able to sneak out of a proud building in the capital, means that this person’s urbanism has reached a certain level. People in this level, no matter what they do, will not aimlessly.

Because of the "maidservant" of the seventh son, Li Xin didn't even dare to raise his head to see what the girl looked like, but lowered his head slightly and said, "Tomorrow will be a small year, and there should be a lot of things to do at home in the son's mansion. Yes, why are you free to come down here?"

   "That's it."

Seventh Young Master took out a purple invitation from his sleeve, handed it to Li Xin, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet at home and invite many young people in Beijing to the banquet. You also shout, so that you can also meet people."

  Li Xin took the invitation with both hands, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
