CHAPTER 40
Chapter 40
When I woke up, I had slept on the bed in the inner room, covered with a thin blanket. Jin Ke knew that it must have been Yingzheng who woke up in the middle of the night and carried himself in.
Jin Ke complained a little in his heart: Really, they all woke up, and they didn't know how to wake me up? Knowing that he is not in good health now, what kind of hero is he?
Jin Ke thought about how he was also a big man. Ying Zheng usually has a hug if he rises, and it can be said to be fun. Now that Yingzheng, who was already tired, was still hugging Jin Ke, he still didn't wake him up at all, how much effort should it take?
"Someone!" Jin Ke shouted out the door.
"In!" Someone immediately replied, "Queen, what do you command?" ”
"Your Majesty is going to the early dynasty again, isn't it?" Jin Ke asked.
"Yes!" The palace man replied with his head down.
"That's it! You go down first! Jin Ke said.
It's really tiring to be the emperor. Jin Ke couldn't help but think of when he was sick, he had to rest for at least three days. I think at that time, Jin Ke hadn't fainted yet. But Ying Zheng is still the emperor who lives and kills, and he faints, and he only has a day off, so he has to go to "work". It's really miserable to think about!
However, Ying Zheng doesn't care about his body, and Jin Ke can't ignore it. Since Xia Wuju said that Ying Zheng was tired, there must be such a reason for Ying Zheng to faint. The most effective treatment after exhaustion is naturally rest. But if Yingzheng can't rest, there is still another way. The more useful thing that Jin Ke knows is black chicken soup.
This black chicken soup basically accompanied Jin Ke through three years of junior high school. At that time, Jin Ke was still a good boy and loved to learn. Jin Ke's brain is definitely not the smartest, if you want to come out on top in your studies, you will inevitably have to spend more time than others. Driving at night for many years has made Jin Ke's body tired, if it weren't for the black chicken soup, it is estimated that Jin Ke's body would have collapsed.
Jin Ke thought that he also boiled a cup of black chicken soup for Yingzheng to nourish his body.
Jin Ke, who was full of action, went directly to the small kitchen. It's said to be a small kitchen, but it's not small at all. After all, it is also a place to cook for the emperor and empress, if it is too small, wouldn't it be impossible to show my great Qin Guowei?
"Queen, why did you come to such a smoky place?" Said the shy and big-bellied manager.
Looking at the "huge" belly, Jin Kexin smiled and said: Sure enough, no matter how many years have passed, the profession of chef is the most oily. But this steward, isn't it a bit bold for you to call the emperor's special kitchen a place of black miasma?
"I wonder if the chief manager has all the ingredients here?" Jin Ke asked.
"Queen, you have broken the life of the old slave! You just shout at the old slave and make a nonsense! The chief manager named Hu Jin was frightened by Jin Ke's sentence "chief manager", "I don't know what ingredients the queen is looking for?" I've got the most complete set of ingredients here! ”
This sentence is nonsense, this is a place dedicated to cooking for Ying Zheng, if the ingredients here are not complete, then it is impossible for other places to be complete.
"Is there a black chicken here?" Jin Ke asked.
"Yes, yes!" Hu Jin said, "But I don't know what you're doing with it, Queen?" "In this era, due to the limited number of condiments, many foods are not favored. Because a lot of weird smells can't be removed. The black chicken is also one of them. Hu Jin really didn't know what Jin Ke asked the black chicken to do. This dish has never been made for Jin Ke and Ying Zheng.
"That's good! You help me deal with the black chicken! Jin Ke said, "I'm going to make soup for Your Majesty!" ”
"This" Hu Jin hesitated for a long time, but still said, "No! "Okay, Hu Jin originally wanted to remind Jin Ke that this black chicken has a peculiar smell, and it is difficult to get rid of it, so it can't be eaten. But think again. His Majesty loves the queen so much, maybe he just wants the queen to cook a dish herself! What are you trying to stop here? But does this queen really know how to cook?
There is nothing difficult about dealing with black chicken. Hu Jin has been a kitchen master for so many years, and he didn't do it for nothing, and he quickly cleaned up the chicken feathers and other things, and removed the internal organs and everything by the way.
Hu Jin didn't dare to leave, for fear that something would happen to Jin Ke while he was doing here. Jin Ke didn't dare to let Hu Jin go, after all, he was the one who had burned the kitchen.
Although he has no actual combat experience, Jin Ke can almost make this black chicken soup. He has been drinking this black chicken soup for three years, just like "becoming a doctor after a long illness", after eating too much, Jin Ke can smell and smell what he has put out.
At this time, there is really too little seasoning, basically only salt. This salt should be used well, after all, it is necessary to use salt to get rid of the fishy smell of the black chicken itself.
Jin Ke marinated the black chicken in salt water. Well, Jin Ke didn't know how long he had to pickle, anyway, he had to prepare something else, so he kept pickling.
You don't need to prepare too much to make black chicken soup, just add some other nourishing foods. But at this time, there are no things like Jin Ke's common wolfberries and angelica.
Jin Ke still turned to Hu Jin for help: "Hu Jin, do you know anything to nourish the body?" ”
"Ginseng!" Hu Jin said, "The old slave knows this, but"
"But what?" Jin Ke asked.
"Your Majesty is reluctant to eat ginseng." Hu Jin said.
"Why is that?" Jin Ke didn't understand it very much, in fact, ginseng was really effective. If it weren't for the fact that Jin Ke's family was not particularly wealthy, it is estimated that there would be ginseng in the black chicken soup that Jin Ke drank every day. Ying Zheng has such good conditions, why not take it?
"I don't think I need to take ginseng!" This is the answer given by Hu Jin.
Hearing this answer, Jin Ke was really speechless. But come to think of it, this is also in line with Yingzheng's character, isn't it? Ginseng is a great supplement, and a feudal monarch like Yingzheng, who feels very good about himself, is unwilling to eat ginseng to admit that he is weak.
"Alright, you can give me the ginseng!" Jin Ke said, "I will persuade His Majesty!" ”
"No!" Only then did Hu Jin happily take out the ginseng, and by the way, cut it into small pieces for Jin Ke to use.
There's really nothing else to prepare. Jin Ke took the black chicken out of the salt water. Under the guidance of Hu Jin, the black chicken was soaked in blood with boiling water.
Then it's time to get out of the pot. In fact, in this Chinese diet, the best thing to do is to boil soup, and the most difficult thing to do is to boil soup. It is said that it is easy to make, and as long as there is enough time, anyone can cook that pot of soup. It's hard to say it's hard to make, but it's hard to make it taste and make it work.
Fortunately, Jin Ke put ginseng, not to mention the taste of this pot of black chicken soup, at least the effect is there.
After staying in the small kitchen for about an hour and a half, that is, three hours, Jin Ke looked at the color of the black chicken soup. When it's white, that's it. Because the black chicken soup that Jin Ke drank before was milky white.
"What time is this?" Jin Ke asked Hu Jin after getting up the pot.
Hu went in and out to look at the sky, and when he came back, he said, "It's about past time!" "If there is a big sun on the sky today, isn't it just past the end of the day?
Jin Ke calculated in his heart, isn't it almost twelve o'clock? It's so late, and Yingzheng hasn't come back yet? The reason why Jin Ke judged that Yingzheng had not come back was that no one had come to look for him yet. If Yingzheng had come back, he would have sent someone to find him a long time ago.
"Okay, Hu Jin, you can send this cup of black chicken soup to His Majesty's bedroom in a while!" Jin Ke said.
"No!" Hu Jin replied.
This queen is really domineering. Hu Jin is an old man in the palace, and he has also served Yingzheng and his father before, that is, the son Yiren who used to be a proton in Zhao State. At that time, it was not that there was no lady who wanted to send some soup and water to the king, but they were all sent to the place where the king handled government affairs. Jin Ke is good, it looks like he is planning to go to the study to invite His Majesty back?
Jin Ke really went to the study to find Yingzheng.
Zhao Gao stood guard outside the study. Zhao Gao saw Jin Ke coming, and when he was about to pass the message, Jin Ke stopped him: "I'll go by myself!" ”
"No!" Now Jin Ke is his key target to please him, and it doesn't hurt to put it in. Anyway, Majesty Xià doesn't blame himself.
After Jin Ke entered, he saw Ying Zheng frowning and reviewing the recital. The music is divided into several stacks. The one on Yingzheng's right hand should have been approved, while the tall stack on the left hand side has not been approved.
"Your Majesty, are you forgetting the time again?" Jin Ke suddenly spoke.
As soon as Jin Ke spoke, Ying Zheng came back to his senses from the concert: "What's wrong?" ”
"Don't you look at what time it is?" Jin Ke complained, "It wasn't you who fainted yesterday, did you?" ”
Listening to the concern that Jin Ke couldn't hide in his complaining words, Yingzheng's anger, who wanted to lose his temper, was suddenly vented: "It's because I forgot the time for a while!" I'm going back! ”
Jin Ke went back to the dormitory with Ying Zheng.
At this time, Hu Jin was already waiting outside the dormitory. After seeing Jin Ke and Ying Zheng come back together, Hu Jin couldn't help but sigh: The queen really won the emperor's heart!
The emperor's and queen's meals will definitely not be limited to a cup of black chicken soup. Ying Zheng didn't like to drink soup in the first place, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to drink the black chicken soup.
Jin Ke watched Ying Zheng's movements, and put a bowl of chicken soup in front of Ying Zheng rudely: "I boiled it, you drank it!"
I've already tasted the chicken soup beforehand, so it's not a human delicacy, but it's not strange. So Jin Ke had no pressure to let Yingzheng drink the soup he had "carefully" cooked.
"Did you boil?" Ying Zheng was a little unconvinced, "You still make soup?" ”
"Of course, you look down on me like that?" Jin Ke said, "Boiled this piece of cake!" "But you don't have to think about it or anything, because even I haven't seen it.
"I'll taste it!" Ying Zheng drank the black chicken soup elegantly.
"How does it taste?" Jin Ke asked.
"Not bad!" Ying Zheng didn't praise too much. The taste can only be said to be average, but the mind is very good. All in all, it can only be a good sentence.
Jin Ke is already very satisfied with being able to get a good one. Jin Ke himself drank the chicken soup, which is at least full of Yingzheng's sincerity.
"That's good! Call Fusu Gongzi in a moment! Jin Ke said, "You should also let Gongzi Fusu help you!" There are so many pieces that have not been reviewed! ”
Ying Zheng didn't refute: "Okay! ”
How could he live up to Jin Ke's intentions?
