The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 398

[Chapter 398 On Porridge]

The silence lasted for a moment. King Kang raised his eyes, looked at Liu Cheng in front of him, and said, “Eunuch Liu, does he know why your father summoned me?”

Liu Cheng thought for a while and replied, “Yes. His Highness’s birthday is in a few days, and His Majesty summoned His Highness, perhaps just because he missed me after not seeing him for a long time.”

This was said euphemistically, but King Kang understood instantly after hearing it.

His father summoned him because Prince Kang’s palace was going to hold a birthday banquet.

But this matter was not his original intention, he just did it as a last resort under the hostage of the poisonous Gu sect demon girl. In this case, it is not a big deal.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Liu Cheng, with a smile on his face, and said: “In that case, without further ado, Eunuch Liu, I will accompany you to the palace.”

Fang Mansion, backyard.

There are two bowls of golden porridge placed on the stone table. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is extraordinary. The scent of osmanthus is so refreshing, it gives people a refreshing feeling.

“Master, give it a try and see which bowl of porridge tastes better.”

Zhao Hao stood in front of Fang Xiu, raised his little face and looked at his master with an expression full of anticipation.

“Okay, let me have a taste.”

A smile appeared on Fang Xiu’s face, he picked up the spoon and took a bite from each of the two bowls.

It has to be said that he has tasted a lot of delicious food over the years, but this is the first time he has tasted such a delicious and sweet taste at the same time.

Although this sweet-scented osmanthus porridge was his own idea, the fact that it tastes like this shows that both Xiu’er and his little apprentice have put in a lot of effort.

Apart from anything else, Xiu’er has been busy in the kitchen for the past two days, constantly improving the ingredients and cooking methods of this sweet-scented osmanthus porridge.

There is not much difference in the taste between the two bowls of porridge. It can even be said that there is no difference. Whether it is the heat or the taste, there is not much difference.

Fang Xiu took a bite, but didn’t taste anything.

So, he picked up the spoon and took another bite, two, and three.

“Master, if you try it again, it will be gone.”

At this time, Xiu’er on the other side said weakly.

After Fang Xiu heard this, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face and he said “hehehehe” twice.

He put down the spoon and looked at the two porcelain bowls that were almost bottomed out, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After thinking for a while, he raised his eyes, looked at the two handsome faces in front of him, and said with a serious face: “I think these two bowls of porridge taste very good!”

“No!”

“No!”

Two voices said at the same time. sounded.

Xiu’er and Hao’er looked at each other and said in unison: “There must be one that tastes better!”

Fang Xiu was immediately troubled when he heard this.

The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

One is the caring little maid who follows him, and the other is the smart little apprentice who regards him as his idol.

No matter what choice you make, one person will lose this competition.

How could someone like Fang Xiu want to see this scene?

“Master, you don’t need to take into account Xiu’er’s feelings. Which bowl of porridge you think tastes better is just which bowl of porridge tastes better. Xiu’er doesn’t care.”

“Yes, I’m willing to admit defeat!”

Next to him, Zhao Hao also agreed. road.

Fang Xiu heard this and thought about it.

Since you can’t hide from it, just tell it like it is.

“This bowl of porridge, when you first taste it, has a rich and fresh fragrance. After you taste it carefully, you still have a refreshing feeling of fragrance. It is really the best porridge.

Even if you drink so much porridge, young master, I can’t help it.” If you don’t say a word of praise, this porridge should only be found in heaven!”

Fang Xiu said, pointing to one of the bowls of porridge.

Zhao Hao on the side heard this and his face showed excitement.

Xiu’er looked a little disappointed.

At this time, Fang Xiu’s voice continued to sound: “But”

Xiu’er and Zhao Hao raised their heads at the same time and looked at Fang Xiu in front of them.

“But the heat of this porridge is still not enough. Whether it is fresh or sweet, it is a bit lighter than the other bowls of porridge.

Both bowls of porridge taste very good, but I have to choose between these two bowls. If I had to choose a bowl, I would choose this bowl. “

This bowl is definitely the one after the ‘but’.”

“Xiu’er won!”

When Xiu’er heard this, her pretty face showed excitement, and her eyes were full of smiles.

Zhao Hao on the side looked a little disappointed.

With the expressions on their faces, Fang Xiu knew whose work these two bowls of porridge were without asking.

“Why? I have tried so many times and put in so much effort. Even my father”

paused before saying, “Even my father and mother said that the porridge I cook is delicious. Why can’t I compare to it?” Sister Xiu’er. “

Zhao Hao looked a little disappointed, then confused.

At his age, accepting failure is obviously not an easy thing.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he smiled, handed him the spoon, and said with a smile: “Have you ever drank the porridge cooked by your sister Xiu’er?”

Zhao Hao took the spoon, looked at his master, and replied : “I drank once a few days ago.”

Fang Xiu nodded and said, “Then do you know that in the past few days when you have been working hard, your sister Xiu’er has also been working hard, and the effort she has put in is no more than You’re young.”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he had a thoughtful expression on his face and said nothing.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu said, “Try it and tell Master, which of these two bowls of porridge do you think is better?”

“Yes.”

Zhao Hao nodded, picked up the spoon, and the two bowls The porridge took a bite each.

After tasting it, he stopped talking.

Because his feelings were the same as those of his master.

If he were asked to choose one of these two bowls of porridge, he would also choose Sister Xiuer’s bowl.

“Sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. In the same way, if others work harder than you, then no matter how much effort you put in, you can’t beat others.

Therefore, you must work harder at any time.”

These words were the most common chicken soup in the previous life, and they were the ones given to elementary school students.

But when the words came out of Fang Xiu’s mouth, Xiu’er and Hao’er showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed.

What he hated most before was these nutritious chicken soups, but since he had an apprentice, or rather a student, he seemed to say these words casually.

“Master, I understand! I will definitely not disappoint Master’s expectations!”

At this time, Zhao Hao suddenly raised his little face with a firm look on his face, looking at his Master as if he was saying something important. , said very solemnly.

When Fang Xiu saw this, a smile appeared on his face, and he was about to say some words of encouragement.

But there was a rush of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard gate.

Immediately afterwards, there was Bai Xiaochun’s voice.

“Master, Mr. Xia is at the gate of the mansion. Do you want to go and see him?”
