glanced at Yu Xiaoxiang a few more times, although she didn't like it very much, but the queen mother didn't say anything in the end, at least at this moment, she acquiesced to Xiao Yichen's doting on her.

Turning her head sideways, she glanced at the concubines who were tasting dragon meat, and found that Xiao Yichen's toss before was missing the affairs of the imperial chefs, and the queen mother turned her gaze to Xiao Cheng: "Xiao Cheng." ”

"The old slave is here, what does the old ancestor command?" Xiao Cheng was silent at his feet, but his figure had already flashed to the queen mother's side in an instant, and asked respectfully with a smile on his face.

"The grandchildren have also tasted dragon meat, so let's go down. The main seat should also be opened, so that the 'musicians' can come up and be lively.

"No!" After agreeing without hesitation, Xiao Cheng stood up and shouted: "The ancestor has a will, open the banquet and play music!"

Xiao Cheng's words fell, and those palace maids who had been waiting in the secret corridor of the Hundred Gardens suddenly entered in a row like colorful butterflies.

The first few chamberlains worked in groups of four to lift a striking low table, and in a few moments, they were already in front of all the royal families.

Yu Xiaoxiang lowered her head and carefully stuffed the last piece of dragon meat into her mouth, but her beautiful eyes had already raised and secretly looked at the palace people who had spliced one of the tables in front of Xiao Yichen, not knowing what they were going to do.

Xiao Yichen, who was leisurely and complacent, was obviously not interested in what these palace people were doing, and at this moment he was toasting with Xiao Muxing and his wife, and his expression was quite peaceful.

After a while, the chamberlains had already placed the next table one after another, and then bowed down and left, and the palace maids who were waiting on the side officially began to play. This time, in pairs, one holds a large gold box, and the other opens the lid and takes the dish out of it.

Finding that the dishes on the table were steaming, Yu Xiaoxiang understood the role of those gold boxes. And the case that is connected is actually to be able to put down dozens of exquisite dishes. It's just that the little beauty at this moment has no interest in any cases or anything like that, and her eyes are completely less than those that she has never seen before, but the shape is extremely exquisite, and she is attracted by exquisite food like a picture.

"Haven't you seen it?" Xiao Yichen's laughing voice suddenly sounded beside Yu Xiaoxiang.

Turning his head and looking at the folding fan in his hand gently shaking, with a look of "I am very handsome, I am the most handsome", Yu Xiaoxiang felt that this guy would definitely be struck by lightning in the future because he pretended to be too much.

Pouting, Yu Xiaoxiang refocused her gaze on those dishes, swallowed her saliva and said, "I haven't seen anything unusual, have you ever seen Peking duck? It's much more delicious than you, so I won't give it to you!"

"Peking duck? Xiao Yichen shook his head very honestly, and then said with a smile: "However, when I find your home planet one day, this king will directly lead the fleet to catch all the people who can make Peking duck, and if you want to eat it next time, you have to come to this king." ”

Raising his head in an instant, he glared at Xiao Yichen fiercely, Yu Xiaoxiang thought that this guy might really do it, and finally said angrily: "Bad guy, I think about how to bully people all day long!"

Seeing the little beauty's popularity, Xiao Yichen was in a better mood, folded the folding fan and pointed to the dozen dishes placed on the far side of the table, acting as a commentator: "These sixteen meat-based dishes are called Guofu Mintai Sixteen Royal Meat Treasures." ”

"Why is this name so strange? Eating meat still has something to do with the wealth of the country and the people?" Yu Xiaoxiang looked at with some curiosity.

Looking at those big smart eyes, Xiao Yichen said with a smile: "Just because, the raw materials of these meats are not rare birds and beasts raised in the Imperial Diet, but the sixteen kinds of meat that are bought from ordinary butchers in Shengjing Middle Market, and have the largest sales volume among the people." Therefore, if the meat here is more precious and of higher quality, then it means that the country is richer and stronger, and even the ordinary people are living a better life. ”

"Oh~~ I see. It's kind of interesting. Yu Xiaoxiang nodded and understood the reason.

Smiling, he glanced at the little beauty who was ordering the head of the mantis, and Xiao Yichen pointed to a bunch of other dishes that the palace maids were constantly putting down: "These are called the Twenty-Eight Treasures of Flowers Born to Raise a Hundred Flowers." ”

"Does this mean that these are all wild?" Yu Xiaoxiang seemed to understand the origin of the name of the dish.

Sure enough, Xiao Yichen gave a thumbs up and shook his finger and said, "Smart." The main ingredients of these 28 dishes are all ingredients that can only be wild-raised or wild-grown, so they are accompanied by the name of natural breeding, and because their shapes are all kinds of flowers, the word "hundred flowers" is added. ”

Nodding, Yu Xiaoxiang's slender fingers pointed to the dishes that were being put down at the end, and asked in a coquettish voice, "What about these?"

"These are amazing, this is called the thirty-six flavors of the Ten Thousand Nations. Do you know what that means?" Xiao Yichen asked with a smile.

"All nations come to court...... Well, do you mean that they are not produced by the empire? Thousands of years, they are all very historical things?" Yu Xiaoxiang thought for a while and gave his own answer.

"It would be wrong to say that it was not produced by the empire, and most of these are now produced by the empire, but in the past, they all appeared in the empire for the first time when they met with various countries, so the people are also called foreign objects. As for the ages, it is indeed a food that is old and made in a traditional way. Xiao Yichen nodded with a smile and said.

Yu Xiaoxiang, who thought about it, looked at those exquisite dishes, and couldn't help sighing: "No wonder the empire can last for more than 100,000 years, and even hold a family banquet, just serving the dishes is educating future generations." ”

"Oh, that's what Xiang'er thinks?" Xiao Yichen's starry eyes lit up, and the folding fan in his hand stopped, staring at the little beauty beside him.

Raised his hand and swept around, Yu Xiaoxiang said naturally: "Look." The country is rich and the people are safe, don't you princes know what ordinary people are eating, and you must remember that the people eat well, so that you can eat well. Born to raise, of course, it is necessary for you to remember the gifts of nature and not to destroy them at will. The coming of the ten thousand states is to tell you that it is not easy for the ancestors to fight down the country, and how long the culture of the empire is. ”

"Awesome!!" Xiao Feixing, who was listening with his ears pricked up on the side, couldn't help but open his mouth, gave a thumbs up and said, "I only understood these truths when I was almost a hundred years old. I still remember when my father asked me, I said that it was for showmanship, and I was almost beaten. ”

"Hahaha......" Xiao Yichen's laughter sounded instantly, and even Yue'er and the others, who were kneeling behind him, couldn't help laughing.

Together, Xiao Lingtian, who was not far away, had naturally heard the laughter here, and asked with a smile, "Qinglong'er, what is so funny, saying it also makes my father smile." ”

"Oh, father, Xiao Si is saying that he didn't understand why the dishes at this banquet had strange names, but he was broken by Xiang'er, so I was laughing when I waited. Xiao Yichen smiled and turned his head to tell him calmly.
