Weird Food

“What's up?“ ailing asked quickly when she saw the loyal servant panicking.

“That's Madam, the maids are gossiping until the people in the kitchen refuse to cook for us,” Xin Ya reported as she stepped towards Ailing who is currently still burning letters from prince Han.

“What's gossip?" asked Ailing who was now looking back at the paper in her hand.

Ailing's unconcerned expression made Xin Ya quicken her pace. “It's about your reputation, Mistress. They said that you had been expelled by Prince Song last day and tonight you entered this residence by force because of you ..“ He cannot continue his sentence.

'Why do people in this age really like to gossip whether they can not take care of their own affairs, ' Ailing's mind while patting his hands because the letter has been burned.

“Because I'm shameless and wall-faced?“ ailing asked as she turned to look at Xin Ya.

Xin Ya bit her lips. “They are indeed very outrageous,” the answer without saying yes or no.

Ailing let out a long sigh looking at that overly weak Xin Ya's behavior. “So they don't want to cook for us, that's the point?“

“True Mistress. They also said some bad things about the recipe you said,” Xin Ya replied as she clenched her hands.

"Well, since they don't want to cook for us then just have people bring some cooking utensils that are in the kitchen to be moved to our yard,” Ailing said while pointing to the page in front of the room.

Xin Ya's eyes were breaking. "You want me to cook?“ tanyakanya.

“True. Why why anyway? Do you mind?" ask Ailing.

Xin Ya then scratched her temple. "Of course I don't have a problem with that because it's my job. But the last time I cooked, you said if my cooking wasn't good and told me not to cook anymore.

Ailing shook her head slowly. "Well then, I decide from today we'll cook for ourselves. After all we also have money to buy groceries, so it will not be a problem,” he said full of confidence.

“You are indeed great, Mistress,” praise Xin Ya while smiling widely. But a moment later the smile suddenly faded. “But what about the rumors circulating? I'm afraid it will ruin your good name if until the news spreads out.“

“Leave it first, I'm tired of taking care of them. Wasn't this morning we just told them to make a pool, so tomorrow they have to fill the pool,” replied Ailing while massaging his shoulders.

Xin Ya also frowned because she did not understand the meaning of Ailing's words. "Are you not angry about this?“ tanyakanya.

Hearing the question, Ailing smiled a little. "angry? I'm not angry, but more to not understand why they always gossip and seem hostile to us, even though we are only new people here.

And regarding the issue of gossip, you calm down I make sure they will be satisfied to reap what they plant,” replied Ailing while smiling grinning.

Seeing Ailing's horrible expression, Xin Ya also smiled strangely. 'What is the madam planning?' thought.

An hour passed. Currently all the kitchen utensils and objects that Ailing wanted had been brought to his bedroom courtyard. After that Xin Ya and Ailing were busy making spices and groceries like Ailing wanted.

“Mistress, this meat is true just pierced like this madam?“ xin Ya asked who felt strange because the lamb meat that had been bought by them had been formed like dice and stabbed using bamboo that had been shaped like thin chopsticks.

“Iya, just like that,” replied Ailing while mixing roasted peanuts into soy sauce and some other spices. “After that we will burn it,” beber Ailing while applying the artificial seasoning to the meat that has been pierced.

Xin Ya also scratched her temple when she saw Ailing agilely mixing various herbs and food ingredients there. 'Since when can the lady cook? Hasn't she never cooked before?' he thought it was really surprising.

After more than half an hour, the cooking process was finished.

“Finally I can eat well,” said Ailing while wiping the sweat dripping on his forehead. He smiled with satisfaction at all the dishes on the table.

“Mistress, where did you learn to cook this?" xin Ya asked while looking at Ailing with a strange look.

'Yes, no wonder if he was confused to see this tomato satay and sambal, ' Ailing's inner self while clearing his throat.

“I learned it from the owner of the dining place at the end of this city,” I replied carelessly.

Of course Ailing knew Xin Ya would not believe it. And before Xin Ya asked again, Ailing immediately took one skewer. “Try to feel,” the door while thrusting the satay on Xin Ya.

Xin Ya who had been curious about the taste of the appetizing cuisine immediately bit the meat. Xin Ya's eyes instantly fumbled.

“How does it feel?“ ailing asked as she raised her eyebrows.

“Lezat Mistress. What is this cuisine called?“ xin Ya asked who was very excited.

“Name ...“ Ailing thought hard. “Saite, yes its name is saite.“

“Saite? Strange name,” Xin comment Yes.

Elsewhere, Prince Song was currently reading a book before him. Soon, there was a knock on the door of the room.

“What's up?“ prince Song asked when his confidant came in and greeted him.

“Mr, Madam is back,” reports Jongki.

“Then what happened?“ ask Prince Song who is currently switching to writing something.

“The servants gossiped because the Madam came in after defeating two guards,” Jongki explained.

“Only that?“

'Do you want to hear any other news?' Inner Jongki.

“At the moment the Madam is cooking on her page,” she said.

Instantly Prince Song raised his face. “Cooking?“

“True. Madam cooks along with her servant,” Jongki replied. “And it looks like Madam is back making new food.“

“New food, what do you mean?“

After that Jongki also told what happened from beginning to end. He also told about the person who sneaked into Ailing's place disguised as a servant.

“Where is the person?“ asked Prince Song as he got up from his place.

Jongki bent his body. “I'm sorry Sir, the person has already been killed by—”

The sreet! An arrow arrived shot up against one of the poles near Prince Song.

“Be careful Prince!“
