Seventy-two, hot pot

"This method is really good, it is really a good way to benefit the people, no wonder the emperor is in such a good mood today. With this method, I don't know how many lives can be saved! People can eat enough, our Great Xuan Dynasty can be the country and Ming'an, and the emperor who came up with this method must be rewarded heavily!"

"Of course, I will naturally reward this person. The expression on Emperor Wu's face was a little strange, and then he smiled and said in a low voice: "It's really a human being who can't be disguised, but it's ......" Emperor Wu pondered for a moment and said: "Luoluo is really my lucky star." ”

He Luo was very inexplicable when he heard this: "How can the emperor say this? How can this matter be related to concubines, Fuxing's statement is a big fuss, and concubines never dare to be it." ”

Emperor Wu laughed when he heard this, but he refused to say no matter how obsessed He Luo was, He Luo pouted lightly when he saw this, "It seems that the emperor's tone is very tight, and the concubine will not ask, and he will naturally know it in the future." ”

Emperor Wu shook his head at Heluo's delicate appearance, and only reached out to lick the cinnabar with the imperial pen, and then picked up the next book after a few lines of small characters on the fold he was optimistic about just now.

He Luo looked at Emperor Wu like that, it didn't look like he would be able to finish things in a while, so he leaned forward again and asked, "I don't know what the emperor wants to use tonight?" The eyes were shining, and he almost wrote a few words, "Let me arrange it." ”

Emperor Wu looked at her and was amused, but he made a serious and thoughtful look on his face, as if he was really thinking about what to eat, which made Heluo dumbfounded, and hurriedly continued: "It's good for such a trivial matter to come to Zhang Luo with a concubine, the emperor has a lot of opportunities, where can he have so much time to think about this?" It's the concubine who is not thoughtful." After speaking, no matter what Emperor Wu's reaction was, he hurriedly picked up the skirt and ran away, for fear that the people behind him would regret it.

Emperor Wu waited for Heluo to leave, shook his head, and the expression on his face was a little more relaxed.

"Your Majesty," when Zhao Su came in slowly, he saw that there were only two neat stacks of folds left on the left hand side of the imperial case, and he saw that Emperor Wu was slightly tired and pinched the bridge of his nose next to the imperial case, and knew that this was the end of the folding. instructed the little eunuch behind him to sort and put away the folds, and Zhao Su slowly stepped forward and said: "Concubine Chen Niangniang instructed the emperor to go to Qinyuan at the back to eat." ”

"Qin Garden?" Emperor Wu frowned slightly when he heard this, there is a small garden behind the imperial study, Emperor Wu often walks in it when he is tired and tired on weekdays, and the layout inside is more like another imperial garden, rockery fountains, strange flowers and plants, but it is a layer higher than the imperial garden, it looks exquisite, but no one disturbs, and will not meet those concubines with individual motives, Emperor Wu likes it very much on weekdays, but ...... Eat in it...... Emperor Wu slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Quick, bring that pot of beef bone broth. Emperor Wu and Zhao Suren hadn't yet entered the garden, but they had already heard Heluo's crisp voice coming from afar.

It's almost time to approach the wax moon, the plum blossoms everywhere in the palace are the most brilliant time, this small garden is naturally no exception, the plum blossoms in the garden are full of shadows, the dark red and light red reflect each other, and there are a few white plums mixed in some places.

Such a beautiful realm in the eyes of literati and ink writers, Emperor Wu just looked at it on weekdays, if there were talented women among the concubines with him, at this time, he would naturally express his desire to recite a poem to him infinitely shyly.

And like now, the white water vapor is mixed with the smell of food and the fresh aroma of the soup pot...... Zhao Su's expression on Emperor Wu's side was a little sluggish.

"The emperor is here, don't hurry up. "In the pavilion shaded by flowers and trees, Heluo waved to Emperor Wu from afar. The ventilation around the pavilion where she was staying was all surrounded by thick curtains, and the few small openings left for enjoying the flowers were just covered by the dense flowers and trees, although the cold wind would still blow in, but it had softened a lot, not only did it not feel cold, but it washed away the heavy heat inside, making people feel just right. He Luo instructed the little chamberlain to put the soup pot on the carbon rack that had been supported a long time ago, and when he turned around and saw Emperor Wu, he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand at Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu slowly stepped forward and said, "How did you think of using it here...... Rice. Emperor Wu looked at the strangely red-looking copper pot, and couldn't find the words to describe it for a while, only watching the snow-white beef bone soup in it rolling and gurgling, and the saliva aroma wafted out along the water vapor.

When it was cold like this, the concubine thought that if she enjoyed the plum blossoms and ate the pot in the garden, she would feel certain and happy. ”

"I see that as long as you have something to eat, you will feel very happy, I don't know how many times I have heard you say these words. When Heluo said this, he looked up at the snow-white little face in the plush neckline, and the usually bright cat pupils squinted, looking very intoxicated, Emperor Wu wanted to scare this little thing that was always ingenious with a cold face, but now he looked at it and felt that this little thing was pitiful and cute, where was he willing to scare her, and he couldn't wait to take it into his arms and rub it, thinking in his heart that Emperor Wu had done the same in his hands.

He Luo arched his head in Emperor Wu's arms, and struggled out again and said: "The emperor doesn't understand concubines, concubines are called what they want. By the way, Heluo added a sentence in his heart: You don't understand the world of foodies.

Emperor Wu was pulled by Heluo to sit down, watching Heluo in front of him continue to be busy, Heluo commanded the cook on the side to take the chopped bright chili peppers, and put some peppercorns, garlic, green onions, ginger shreds, and the secret condiments of the imperial kitchen to make two plates of dipping sauce.

The beef bone soup in the pot was mixed with star anise, peppercorns, grass fruits, and cardamom for a day, and it was the soup stock that the imperial dining room had to prepare every day.

"Okay, Anzhi and Tinglan, you two don't have to stay here to wait, and Zhao Gonggong and Sanliang, you can take a few to rest, I also left you a pot and some vegetables there, you can also go down and taste it." Seeing that the things were almost ready, Heluo turned his head and said to the few people who were waiting next to him.

"No need, where can there be no one to serve the masters? Before Anzhi and Tinglan could speak, Zhao Su had already replied respectfully on the side. Although it is said that Concubine Chen's hot pot looks extremely tempting in this cold and snowy time, they can't forget their duty to be a human slave, right?

"Okay, your master Chen said that if you let you go down to rest, you will go down to rest, and you will be regarded as celebrating a small year in advance. ”

As soon as the three minions led by Zhao Su and An Zhi heard Emperor Wu speak, they looked at each other, but they were speechless, but they retreated quietly, and only ordered the little palace maids who were used to serving in front of the palace on weekdays, and the little attendants waited from afar.

Heluo saw that the people were retreating far away, so he added a piece of chopsticks and put the scalded meat slice in Emperor Wu's dipping bowl, the reddish thin meat slice was wrapped with enough dipping sauce, which looked extremely attractive.

"Your way of eating is interesting," Emperor Wu couldn't help but joke after seeing that He Luo only gave himself a piece of chopsticks and meat, and didn't raise his head to eat himself.

"The emperor doesn't know," Heluo raised his head and took a sip of the hot black tea on the side, "Such a hot pot is called hot pot, it is the way of eating for the people in the border city, when the weather is cold, it is not only convenient to eat but also warms the body, every time it is cold in the border pass, when the water is poured into ice, so that the family eats a hot pot together, scalds some meat, dishes, and drinks a few sips of wine, I don't know how comfortable it is!" He Luo had a smile in his eyes, and his mind slowly came to mind, when the family used to sit around and talk and laugh and eat hot pot, he remembered that time when he ate Haisai with his friends and girlfriends in a lively hot pot restaurant, without caring about the image.

Look around you now...... Heluo's heart was mixed for a while, and he didn't know how to describe it, the exquisite and picturesque scenery around the pavilion, as well as the palace people trembling and bowing their heads in the distance, and the gentle-eyed and handsome man sitting beside him, now he only felt a lot of emotion, and there was a time of unreality, as if it was a dream......

"What are you thinking about Luoluo?" Emperor Wu's words interrupted Heluo's thoughts.

"It's nothing, I just think it's rare to have a quiet meal with the emperor. ”

Emperor Wu followed Heluo's eyes into the distance, looking at the snow near and far, and everything that was silent because of the cold, I don't know if I also remembered something, but gently took Heluo's hand and ate the hot food in the hot pot in front of him.
