Passing through the back garden, Zhu Nian followed Gonggong Shen to the Qingnan Palace, there were four guards and six palace maids guarding outside the door, and when they saw Gonggong Shen, they all immediately knelt on the ground and saluted: "Gonggong Shen!" ”

"Hmm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shen Gonggong replied indifferently.

The two palace maids opened the door of the palace, and Gonggong Shen entered the hall with Zhu Nian and red candles.

At this time, Tuoba Lei was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, standing with his hands in his hands, showing the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." Zhu Nian and the red candle knelt on the ground and saluted Tuoba Lei.

"Let's be flat." The emperor waved his sleeves.

"Your Majesty." Zhu Nian and Red Candle stood up, but still kept their heads down.

"Zhu Xinnian, do you still remember me?" Tuoba Lei stared at Zhu Nian and laughed in a low voice.

Zhu Nian raised his head, snickering in his heart, but he pretended to be surprised: "Huh? You're the ......! ”

If you want to come and dare to tease the emperor in this world, there is only one Zhu Nian.

"That's right, I ate your meal at your stepmother's birthday two days ago."

Zhu Nian knelt down again, with horror in his voice: "The people didn't know that the person who was the emperor that day was you, and she was offended a lot at that time, so I asked the emperor to forgive me." ”

"Hahaha, what are you guilty of? Hurry up! Tuoba Lei smiled heartily and raised his hand to signal Zhu Nian to get up.

"Your Majesty." Zhu Nian got up, and the corners of his mouth were gently hooked in a place that others couldn't see.

"Zhu Xinnian, do you know why I summoned you to the palace today?"

"This ......" Zhu Nian bent down dignifiedly: "The people's girls are brave, guessing that the emperor invited the people's daughters to show their cooking skills." ”

"Clever!" Tuoba Lei walked up to Zhu Nian as he spoke, with appreciation in his eyes: "Yes, she is a clever girl." ”

Tuoba Lei paused, then stared at Zhu Nian tightly and said, "Your cooking skills were really good that day, I have been back to the palace for many days, and I have been enjoying endless aftertastes." ”

"Thank you for your praise." Zhu Nian thanked him dignifiedly, and his expression was not arrogant or impatient.

"Since I was a child, I have been eating the dishes made by this imperial chef for almost fifty years, although it is delicious in the world, but it is really a little boring, I tasted the dishes you made that day, not only delicious, but also very fresh."

The emperor looked at Zhu Nian, and his expression suddenly became very serious: "But I didn't see you make the food that day, so I summoned you here today to cook an interesting meal in front of me. ”

Immediately, Tuoba Lei's expression changed from serious to murderous: "But if you can't do what you feel that day, then it is the crime of bullying the king, and the consequences will ......."

"The folk girl is willing to give it a try!" Zhu Nian replied with a solemn expression.

"Miss!" Red Candle whispered an exclamation behind Zhu Nian, and her hand secretly tugged at the corner of Zhu Nian's clothes, and her legs kept trembling.

On the day of the birthday banquet, the red candle did not follow Zhu Nian, so she thought that Zhu Nian's cooking skills were very poor and was very worried.

What to do, this is a crime of deception! It's going to kill your head!

Zhu Nian looked at the red candle, shook her head with a smile, signaled that she didn't have to worry about herself, and then turned her head to look at Tuoba Lei.

"I don't know where the folk girl should prepare?"

"Bang" Shen Gonggong clapped his hands, and soon four little eunuchs moved a large table for cooking, with all kinds of cooking tools on the table, and a fire hole under the table.

"Miss Zhu, it's in this Qingnan Palace." Shen Gong said openly, "What ingredients do you need, you can tell me now, and I will tell the palace people to prepare them." ”

"Okay, Gonggong Shen, please allow me to think for a moment." Zhu Nian's face was calm and calm, and he was confident.

What to do? The Emperor wants something new, what should I do?

Zhu Nian's eyes flashed, there is!

Now that it's summer, the temperature is rising, and she can make something simple to relieve the heat.

"Grandpa Shen, I need pineapple, red beans, peaches, and some ice cubes." Zhu Nian said.

"Huh?" Gonggong Shen was a little puzzled, why did she pick some ingredients that were so biased?

"Oh, by the way, some honey and cool boiled water." Zhu Nian said with a smile.

"This ...... All right. Gonggong Shen's face twitched, and he walked out of the Qingnan Hall and instructed the little eunuch to prepare the ingredients.

Seeing that Gonggong Shen had gone out, Zhu Nian turned to look at Tuoba Lei again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what I made this time doesn't need to make a fire, it's very simple." ”

"I hope you won't let me down." Tuoba Lei had a hint of sophistication in his eyes, and he also looked at Zhu Nian with a smile.

Soon, Shen Gonggong walked in with a few little eunuchs carrying the ingredients, put the ingredients on the table, and put a bucket of ice cubes on the ground.

"Miss Zhu, these are the materials you want, and they are all prepared for you." Gonggong Shen said to Zhu Nian.

"Thank you, Gonggong Shen." Zhu Nian nodded, and then looked at Red Candle: "Red Candle, you can help me pound some ice cubes." ”

"What?" Red Candle didn't understand.

"Just put the ice cubes in a bowl and mash them into pieces, eight pieces of ice are enough." After Zhu Nian finished instructing, he went to wash the other ingredients and prepared to cut them into pieces.

"Yes, miss." Red Candle turned around and prepared to go. She has a good ability to regulate her mind, and now that she has accepted this fact, she can only be a dead horse doctor.

Zhu Nian's knife skills are very good, and after she washes the fruit, she neatly cuts the pineapple and peach, and puts it in a small bowl.

The bare knife work made Shen Gonggong, who was watching from the sidelines, stunned, and Tuoba Lei couldn't help nodding.

Then, Zhu Nian took another peach and put it in a small bowl, and used a spoon to press out a bowl full of juice.

"Miss, the ice you want is ready." Red Candle put the mashed crushed ice in front of Zhu Nian.

"Hmm." Zhu Nian took the bowl and put it aside.

She opened the honey jar and mixed the honey with her own exclusive ratio and cold boiled water.

Then she took a small blue and white porcelain cup, spread the bottom layer with crushed ice cubes, and then slowly poured the honey water along the rim of the cup.

Next, she sprinkled the peach juice on top of the ice cubes and stirred with a small spoon.

Zhu Nian took the pineapple pieces and peach pieces, and spread them on the ice cubes layer by layer, and the yellow and pink flesh were arranged alternately, which was very beautiful.

Finally, she sprinkled the red beans on the top layer casually, and placed a cherry blossom on the rim of the cup.

This cherry blossom was accidentally found in the ice cube bucket, probably because she accidentally fell into it at some point.

Zhu Nian looked at the fruit smoothie he made with satisfaction, and gently hooked the corners of his lips.

She carefully raised her glass and walked slowly towards Tuoba Lei.

"Your Majesty, the work of the people's daughter is finished."

Tuoba Lei looked at the smoothie in Zhu Nian's hand, and couldn't wait to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he had the desire to eat it when he just watched Zhu Nian put the fruit on the table.

Zhu Nian handed the small cup to the emperor, then turned around and took a spoon over: "Your Majesty, you can taste the craftsmanship of the people's daughter." ”

Gonggong Shen took a silver needle and inserted it into the small cup, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he stepped aside.

Tuoba Lei carefully scooped a spoonful of smoothie and put it in his mouth, and after less than a second, his eyes lit up and he couldn't stop nodding: "It's delicious!" Cool and delicious! ”

The red candle on the side who was so nervous that she was sweating snorted softly, although she was full of doubts, but she was also relieved for her own young lady.

Zhu Nian said with a smile: "The emperor eats this thing, the folk girl named it smoothie, it is a summer cool product, it is not very hot now, and when it is in the middle of summer, the emperor will try it again, and the effect will be better." ”

"Smoothies?" Tuoba Lei followed by a retelling of its name, and then laughed heartily: "Haha, Zhu Xinnian, how did you come up with such a strange thing, I really want to see what your little brain has in it!" ”

"Thank you for your praise." Zhu Nian smiled.

"This smoothie may seem simple, but it's a novelty, and I'm very satisfied." Tuoba Lei was very happy.

"Your Majesty, although this smoothie method is simple, but the honey water alone is made by the folk girl according to the exclusive proportion, and ordinary cooks can't make that effect."

"Oh? So I'm going to eat this smoothie in the future...... Do I have to find you to do it? Tuoba Lei smiled.

He looked at Zhu Nian, smiled with his eyebrows, and shouted loudly: "Reward!" ”
