Chapter 156 Drugging?
After Su Jixiang had prepared all the dishes in the kitchen, Wei Ling also came back. He brought five people with him and sent someone to invite Su Jixiang.
Lushui asked Weidong to help watch the pot, while she accompanied Su Jixiang to the room to wash up.
When Su Jixiang, who had washed and combed his hair, walked into the main hall with Lu Shui, Wei Ling was already chatting and laughing with these people.
Seeing Su Jixiang coming in, the five people stood up and saluted to Su Jixiang, "Greetings, Madam."
Su Jixiang returned the greeting and walked straight towards Wei Ling.
Wei Ling raised his hand and held Su Jixiang's hand, pulling her to sit next to him, "Everyone, don't be shy. Madam is here, you should make yourself at home."
The five people then smiled and sat down again.
"Let me tell you, you are in for a treat." Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang and said proudly, "Madam cooked for us personally today."
"Thank you for your help, Madam!" The five people hurriedly clasped their fists and said.
"You are all so polite." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "I have heard the general talk about us for a long time. He said that he has not met with us for many years. Today I have this opportunity, so I will try our own cooking skills."
"Look at how good your sister-in-law is at talking." Wei Ling said with a smile, "But what the madam said is also what I want to say. It has been many years since I left Mangcheng. During these years, it was everyone's joint efforts that maintained the peace at the border. Although there were constant small conflicts, basically no major battles occurred. I think those Turks were scared! This is also the result of everyone's efforts and sincere unity."
"General, you are too kind." A big man sitting closest to Wei Ling laughed, "Aren't these what we who stayed in Mangcheng should do? I'm afraid that the general has been away for many years and we are all unfamiliar with him. Today, the general called us to his house, and we are very excited. The general still hasn't forgotten us."
When he said this, everyone echoed him.
"Okay, okay, let's just move around more often in the future." Wei Ling said with a smile, "I just came back, and I still need to rely on you for a lot of things."
Everyone exchanged pleasantries again.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Jixiang stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go prepare some wine and food, please don't mind."
Everyone quickly stood up and bowed.
Wei Ling also stood up and said with a smile, "I will send my wife to the kitchen and come back to chat with you all."
"Everyone says that the general treats his wife very well. Today we have witnessed it!" Everyone laughed.
Wei Ling smiled and waved, then pulled Su Jixiang out of the lobby.
Su Jixiang knew that Wei Ling would definitely not just send her to the kitchen.
It means you have something to say.
Sure enough, when approaching the kitchen, Wei Ling stopped, looked around, took out a paper bag and handed it to Su Jixiang, "Put it in the soup." He whispered.
Su Jixiang's eyes widened...
"What is this?" She looked at Wei Ling in surprise.
She is a serious cook, she would never do such a thing as drugging someone!
"It's just a knockout drug." Wei Ling lowered his voice and said, "The dosage is very small, and it's not easy to be detected. Just put a little bit in each bowl of soup. This is specially prepared by Zhou Ziqi. I need them to sleep in the mansion for one night. These people can drink a lot, I'm afraid I can't get them drunk, and I can't do it myself...so it's better to be prepared."
Su Jixiang...
She hesitated.
Although Wei Ling confessed his love to her several times and she believed in Wei Ling's character, Su Jixiang always felt it was a bit weird to put drugs in the things she made.
Besides, she didn't know whether the medicine bag contained a knockout drug or not.
What if it was poison... and those people took it and died immediately? Then she would be pushed out to take the blame, what would she do...
The heart of defense is indispensable!
"Actually, I just want them to sleep." Su Jixiang thought for a moment and said, "No need to give them drugs."
"Madam, do you have any good ideas?" Wei Ling asked with a smile.
"I brought out a kind of incense from the palace. It was originally used by the concubines in the cold palace. Many of them are a little crazy and make endless noises, so an old imperial concubine in the cold palace mixed a kind of incense. If they are really annoyed by the noise, they just take it out and light a little. When those people smell it, they will naturally want to sleep. If you don't want them to wake up, just light one more. It can ensure that they sleep well all night." Su Jixiang said.
"Alright, if I can't drink more than them, you can ask someone to replace it with this kind of incense, and you can put this medicine away first." Wei Ling nodded. "I'm going to rely on you today!" He added.
Su Jixiang smiled and said, "Don't worry!"
Her fragrance is really harmless, it just makes people sleep. As for the package of medicine, since Wei Ling gave it to her openly, it means that this medicine is a real knockout drug.
I was being too cautious.
Su Jixiang secretly stuck out her tongue. Fortunately, she did not reject Wei Ling directly, but used another method instead. If she had rejected him directly and bluntly, it would have hurt Wei Ling's heart.
Su Jixiang has been in the cold palace since his rebirth. If he hadn't thought about it more, he would probably not have lived to this day.
Su Jixiang put away the medicine bag, watched Wei Ling leave, and then returned to the kitchen.
She first asked Guihua to take out the six cold dishes that she had prepared in advance and set the table.
Wait until the cold dishes are served, then move the hot wine over.
At this time, Wei Ling had already led the five people to their seats.
Guihua served drinks directly in the main room.
Only Lushui and Weidong were left in the kitchen helping Su Jixiang.
The eight-treasure duck was already stewed until it was basically soft, so Su Jixiang took the eight-treasure duck and the bamboo curtain out of the casserole. She put the pot back into the casserole, poured out the soup in the casserole, filtered out the duck bones and the onions, ginger, garlic and other things, and then thickened the soup.
She found a plate and placed the Eight Treasure Duck on it, and placed the carrot flowers she had cut on the side as decoration. Then she poured the collected thick soup directly on the Eight Treasure Duck, and a perfect dish of Eight Treasure Gourd Duck made by Sufa was served.
When Lushui went to serve the dishes, Su Jixiang took a small silver knife and placed it on the edge of the plate, and instructed Lushui to use the silver knife to cut the belly of the Eight Treasure Gourd Duck in front of everyone after the dishes were served, so that the soup inside could flow out.
She also taught Lushui to say a few auspicious words when paddling the duck to liven up the atmosphere.
After a few splashes, Lu Shui went out carrying the Eight Treasure Gourd Duck.
Su Jixiang began to steam the fish that had been marinated earlier.
