After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the food lovers all over the country were shocked

Chapter 558 Shocking News

As soon as Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying came out of the kitchen, they heard shocking news from Zhou - He Qiming was seriously injured, and it was Shen Shu who injured him.

The two were surprised and immediately turned into little melon-eating experts.

This is really surprising.

Aren't He Qiming and Shen Shu madly in love?

At the beginning, they were clearly acting like they were inseparable from each other in front of Yan Yan, just like a pair of star-crossed lovers who were about to be separated by a villain.

It's only been a short time, how come this star-crossed couple has separated?

Moreover, Shen Shu actually seriously injured He Qiming.

Could it be that love turns to hate?

Shen Huazheng servilely poured Zhou a cup of tea and said, "Mother, don't be impatient. Tell me slowly. What is going on?"

She didn't think she was gossiping at all, but rather felt that many people would have the same reaction when hearing this.

Now He Qiming and Shen Shu are considered to be well-known in the capital.

Although after He Qiming took Shen Shuna into his family, the two of them finally calmed down and stopped causing trouble.

But there have always been legends about them in the world.

The versions that were circulated before were basically that He Qiming was willing to confront the He and Yan families for Shen Shu.

He was even willing to cancel the engagement at the risk of being beaten by Yan Yan.

There are many different opinions on this matter.

Some people say that He Qiming and Shen Shu are the rare true love in the world, who are not afraid of power or force.

Some people also think that He Qiming is treacherous, as he is involved with Shen Shu even though he is engaged.

Later, he even disregarded the reputation of the Yan and He families, making everyone a laughing stock in the entire capital.

In the eyes of these people, He Qiming is simply unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial.

However, no matter how fierce the criticism outside was, no matter how much the Yong'an Earl and his wife disagreed, He Qiming finally resisted the pressure and took Shen Shu in.

Although there was no way to make Shen Shu his legal wife, everyone knew that He Qiming had tried his best.

Gradually, new gossip appeared in the capital, and the affairs of He Qiming, Shen Shu and Yan Yan were gradually forgotten.

Even at gatherings, not many people talked about it.

It was not until Yan Yan made great contributions and was named the first female general of Daliang that the onlookers remembered He Qiming and Shen Shu again.

Some people feel fortunate for Yan Yan. If she had married He Qiming as contracted, she probably would not have become General Yan today.

Some people also felt sorry for the Earl of Yong'an. Because of He Qiming's rebellion, the Earl of Yong'an missed out on such a good daughter-in-law and also lost the support of the General's Mansion.

Fortunately, the incident was not too serious at the time and Yan Yan did not suffer any loss.

Otherwise, the Yong'an Earl's Mansion would not only lose the support of the General's Mansion, but the two families might even become enemies.

If that were the case, it would not end well.

I'm afraid even His Majesty will have to intervene.

There was a lot of talk about this matter in the capital, but no one questioned the relationship between He Qiming and Shen Shu.

In the eyes of everyone, these two people have finally been together, so they should be very loving.

Moreover, ever since Shen Shu entered the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, she seems to have been very well-behaved.

Anyway, no news came out.

There are even some folk storybooks based on He Qiming and Shen Shu.

The book praises their touching love story in great detail, and all those who oppose this love are vicious villains.

Shen Huazheng had seen several such stories, and they were indeed written in a heart-wrenching and tear-jerking manner.

In her opinion, these two people are simply the ancient version of a pure-hearted nobleman falling in love with a commoner girl.

If Shen Huazheng didn't know how many ridiculous things these two people had done in real life, she would have been moved by the love that was stronger than gold portrayed in the storybook.

It's only been a short time, and this star-crossed couple has already broken up?

And they kill each other? ?

Zhou Ying sighed in her heart again. It was a big loss that Aning didn't come today.

Not only did I miss the delicious locust flower food, but I also missed the first bite of the freshest and sweetest melon.

Zhou took a sip of the tea handed to her by Shen Huazheng to moisten her throat, and then told her daughter and niece about this.

With Yan Yan being appointed as a general, He Qiming's engagement with her became a hot topic again.

He Qiming rarely stayed at home during that period, and no one knew what had happened to him outside. One day, he suddenly returned home and asked Lady Yong'an to find a woman for him to marry.

Shen Huazheng almost spit out the tea in her mouth: "Doesn't he only love Shen Shu?"

If He Qiming changed his mind, what would happen to those books that sang praises of their love?

Zhou Ying looked indifferent and said nothing.

Some people make promises to you, but then turn around and love someone else madly.

Mrs. Zhou shook her head. "I told Ah Xin at the beginning that since the child is determined to do something, there is no need to stop him. Just let him go. He will bear the consequences anyway."

Some people are very rebellious and like to go against their parents.

If you don't let him eat shit, he won't want to, and no matter how you stop him, he has to have a taste.

Shen Huazheng suddenly realized, so He Qiming finally broke through all the obstacles and was with the one he loved, but now he regretted it?

No wonder people say that romance is ultimately no match for the daily necessities of life.

Zhou Ying: "Aunt, has Shen Shu also learned that He Qiming wants to marry someone else?"

When Shen Shu entered the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, she probably held on to the hope that one day she would be promoted to the position of legitimate wife.

Now that He Qiming wants to marry someone else, her hopes are shattered and she definitely can't accept it.

Shen Huazheng also had a gossipy look on her face: "Mom, which girl does He Qiming want to marry? Also, how did Shen Shu hurt He Qiming?"

Last time, I saw He Qiming being beaten by Yan Yan in the private room of Yipintang. He looked really weak.

But Yan Yan is not an ordinary woman. She was taught martial arts by General Yan since she was a child and was taken to the battlefield.

Shen Shu looked so weak, but she could actually hurt He Qiming.

Just as Zhou was about to speak, the maids suddenly came in carrying trays.

She was slightly startled and looked at the table full of food.

"Zheng'er, are you making new food again?"

As soon as she said this, she suddenly remembered that it was already time for lunch.

I was so engrossed in what I was saying just now that I forgot everything.

Shen Huazheng smiled with her eyes curved: "Mom, let's talk while we eat."

As she spoke, she pointed at the food on the table and introduced them one by one: "This is locust flower rice, this is locust flower dumplings, this is locust flower scrambled eggs, locust leaf tofu, locust flower salad..."

In addition to these locust flower and locust leaf delicacies, there is also a dish of blanched shrimp on the table.

In the previous world, every spring, Shen Huazheng would go to eat shrimp with her grandparents.

Just then, some food was delivered from the kitchen, so she asked someone to make a dish of blanched shrimp.

Zhou looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and was slightly surprised: "Is this a banquet of locust leaves and flowers?"

Shen Huazheng smiled and said, "That's right. Now is the season for Sophora japonica flowers. It's a good time to try some fresh ones."

She also had some locust flowers and leaves saved.

The remaining flowers can be used to make honey tea or cakes. The leaves can be used to make cold pottery when the weather gets hot.

Zhou Ying: (???)

What is Sophora japonica cold pottery?

Zheng'er said that it is eaten when the weather is hot. Could it be food like Sushan?

However, it doesn't sound quite like it.

I really want to know how many delicious foods Zheng'er has hidden in her head. How come she can always name so many delicious foods that they have never even heard of?

Zhou: (*^_^*)

Child, spring isn't over yet.

I was just thinking about what to eat when the weather is hot.

She is about to reach marriage age, but she still has such a childish mentality.

Fortunately, they don't plan to marry their daughter off, so it's good for her to stay with them and be a child forever.

Shen Huazheng used a serving chopstick to pick up a locust flower dumpling for Zhou and looked at her eagerly: "Mother, please try this dumpling and see how it tastes. This is made with locust flowers."

If it were in the past, Zhou would definitely think that the filling made with locust flowers sounded strange, and the taste might not be very good either.

But now she has already tasted all kinds of flower and fruit dishes, such as flower porridge, flower cauliflower, fruit and vegetable, flower cake, flower soup and so on.

Just one dumpling is enough.

Most of the dishes on the table are made with locust flowers, and the air around is filled with a light and elegant floral fragrance that makes people feel happy.

Zhou smiled, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the locust flower dumplings in the bowl, dipped them in the sauce, and brought them to her mouth.

The dumpling wrapper was very slippery, but thankfully the filling inside was generous, making the dumpling plump and bulging. A chopstick dug in there and stuck perfectly, preventing the dumpling from slipping off the chopsticks.

Zhou blew on the dumpling and took a light bite.

The dumpling wrapper is thin and smooth, and the filling inside is full of ingredients. In addition to locust flowers, there are also eggs, carrots and fresh pork.

When you take a bite, the heat slowly spreads in your mouth, and the fragrant juice splashes between your lips and teeth, instantly filling your mouth with freshness and fragrance.

Chewing it carefully, the fragrance of locust flowers, the deliciousness of eggs, the crispness and sweetness of carrots, the meaty aroma of pork, and the salty aroma of the sauce interweave in your mouth into a wonderful symphony.

It makes people feel as if they are in a sea of flowers in spring, feeling relaxed and happy.

Zhou swallowed the dumplings in her mouth, and the floral fragrance still lingered on her tongue, making her reluctant to let it go.

“Delicious!! I didn’t expect that Sophora japonica flowers could be used as dumpling fillings with so many other ingredients.”

This was her first time eating flower dumplings, and she didn't expect them to be so delicious.

Every time they tasted the novel delicacies made by Shen Huazheng, Zhou and the other members of the Shen family would marvel at and enjoy the food, but would also lament their own ignorance.

Over the years, how many ingredients that could have been made into delicious dishes have they missed out on.

Or in other words, how many things that could have been used as ingredients were ignored by them.

Of course, this is just a thought.

Even if they knew that some flowers and plants were edible, it would be useless without Zheng'er's skills.

To turn decay into magic, you need real strength.
