Chapter 206: The Acacia Flower Banquet - The Fragrance of Food
"Miss, what the minions do is naturally allowed by the Xiangye, if you don't believe it, you can come in and take a look." Mu Chenfeng shouted at Ji Ran in the house.
You bastard minions, since you dare to hide in the room and not come out, seeing that Miss Ben can spare you, Ji Ran suddenly abandoned the few people who were carrying things, and turned to the study again.
Mu Chenfeng saw that the matter had been completed, and Chong Da Niu was slightly happy, "Brother, I'll just show you next." "Fly through the window and leave.
The big bull almost wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself, but now he didn't even have the right to die, so he had to watch Ji Ran come in and catch the thief.
Ling'er fooled the emperor and his entourage into her own Lingxi courtyard, now it's time for her to have a headache, if she talks about her own cooking skills, she can give the people around her a fresh meal and talk about the past. Now standing in front of him is the emperor, when he is the supreme king today, he has never seen anything, he has not eaten anything, and it is difficult to perfunctory it again. In a hurry, she circled around the kitchen, and Qingxi and Nuo'er were also at a loss, and today this matter is big or small. The emperor who served was satisfied, naturally everyone was happy, if Long Yan was displeased, it was hard to say what would go wrong next, after all, there were many troublemakers, and it would be really unjust to cause trouble when the time came.
King Heng saw that Ji Qian was talking with his father, and he looked for a gap to take a look at the situation outside, and saw that several people in the kitchen were still in a daze with cold pots and cold stoves, and couldn't help but comfort: "No matter what you do, just eat something fresh, my father has always been kind, and he will never say anything about you." β
Ling'er pouted, "You're so good to go and watch those two, don't slip in the way of someone's actions, I can naturally handle it here." "I had an idea between the words, isn't it fresh to eat, it's the middle of summer, the acacia flowers in the yard are blooming, and the flowers are fragrant, it's better to come here, it's rare.
After thinking about it, Ling'er beckoned Qingxi and Nuo'er to come to the courtyard. Each person holds a bamboo basket in their hands. I saw Ling'er flying up in the air, the bamboo pole in his hand danced, and the acacia flowers fell like raindrops, a midsummer flower rain. Emperor Xuanwen and Ji Qian in the room also heard the movement. The two were curious and came out to see what was going on. Ling'er said in her heart, "People say that beauty is delicious, girl, I can also be regarded as a heavenly beauty, first give you a beauty dance between flowers, it can be regarded as an appetizer soup before the meal." β
Ji Qian hadn't expected when his second daughter, who had always been ignorant, would have this ability. I felt very satisfied, and strooped my beard to peek at the emperor's expression. Emperor Xuanwen looked at the prospect happily, Ling'er in a blue dress fluttered in the white flower rain, making people feel that such a hot summer day seemed to be cooler, and the love for this daughter-in-law in his heart was a little more.
Originally, I heard that the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion returned, Emperor Xuanwen only didn't believe it, and he saw the affection between King Heng and his wife, why would King Heng lie and say that the princess died of a violent illness. After thinking about it for a few days, I finally thought of the quirky spirit of this little girl and made an exception to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see, at this time it seems that I did not have a false act when I left the palace this time. It's just that if she wants to return to Hengwangfu again, it may not be so easy. This matter is slowly calculated, and there is no hurry.
"Father, it's hot outside, so you better go into the house and rest." King Heng was fascinated by Emperor Xuanwen's view, and took care of the dragon's health and well-being, and persuaded him.
At this time, Ling'er had already collected almost everything, turned his head and smiled at Emperor Xuanwen: "Your Majesty, we will eat these today, your old man will drink saliva first and wait, it will be fine in a while." "Between words. The smile is bright, and there is a sense of intimacy.
Emperor Xuanwen nodded lightly and said yes, and Ji Qian next to Rao is was also infected with this harmony, and quietly went back to sit and wait for the food to be served.
With raw materials. Ling'er began to cook. If you say that this acacia flower feast, she is actually the first time, in the past, when her grandmother was alive, she made it for the whole family to eat, she was young and curious, and she liked to pick up the pot table every time to see the rarity.
The first is fried locust flowers, which is the most convenient. Drain the acacia flowers through boiling water, boil the hot oil in the pot, and then stir-fry the green onions, ginger and garlic to turn the acacia flowers inside, and beat an egg into it when it is about to come out of the pot, the method is very simple, but it is fragrant.
The second course is steamed to eat, it is also the acacia flower after boiling water mixed with all kinds of salt, oil, sauce, vinegar, onion, garlic and ginger, the last step must add some wheat flour, can not be dry, can not be too damp, these are stirred and put on the steaming drawer to steam it.
The third dish is Ling'er's own favorite, that is, use shredded chili peppers mixed with acacia flowers and add flour and other seasonings to fry in the oil pan, and fry until the outside is charred and tender inside, crispy and delicious, and spicy.
After doing this, I was almost there, and I looked at the new big rooster, and I saw that it was very fresh, and I was excited about cooking, and I took a few knives and chopped it into small pieces, and I saw King Heng, who was standing outside the door, frowned.
"Don't look at it, be careful girl, I don't have a crosshair, cut the wrong place!" The words were threatening, without the slightest mercy, Qingxi and Nuo'er bowed their heads to do things, and no one dared to answer.
King Heng originally kindly came over and wanted Ling'er not to be too nervous, just play as usual, but who knew that it was not good, so he turned around and went back boringly.
Emperor Xuanwen seemed to have a conversation with Ji Qian, but in fact, he had seen King Heng go in and out several times, and the expression on his face was different every time he went in and out.
"Can the emperor explain why Ling'er fell ill in the first place and why she came back today?"
King Heng never expected that his father would ask him about this here and now, his face was instantly green and purple, purple and red, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time.
Ji Qian was also very curious about the reason, since the emperor asked, he deliberately smiled, "His Royal Highness King Heng said that it is okay, Ling'er has returned safely now, maybe you have hidden and unspeakable in the past, although the old minister is a courtier, in the end it is your elder, and he will not blame him in vain." β
At this point, King Heng had to bite the bullet and said: "In the past, Princess Heng suddenly suffered from amnesia, and became more and more confused day by day, and finally even the king almost didn't recognize it, the child was always guarding her, who expected that she was still escaped, and when she was disheartened, she asked for her life to fight the enemy, and on the other hand, she sent people to slowly find the princess. β
Emperor Xuanwen listened carefully, and it was reasonable to think about it carefully, both of them were his favorite children, so he didn't delve into it.
Ji Qian wouldn't think it was so simple, with King Heng's means, plus the power of Xunyinlou, if he wanted to find someone, it would not be like a snap, since it took a year for people to find it, and King Heng's expression was too hesitant, not as free and easy as in the past, and he knew that there was something strange in it, but the emperor no longer asked more, and it was not good for him to continue to chase after him.
For a while, the three of them had their own thoughts, sat silently, and King Heng sighed lightly and finally passed this level. Things will be much easier in the future.
As she spoke, she smelled the fragrance wafting in, Ling'er put a few dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "I just watched others do it, and I tried to make it for everyone to taste fresh." The emperor is not allowed to think that Ling'er is not doing well, if he wants to cure Ling'er for the crime of bullying the king, then I will be wronged. β
Emperor Xuanwen had long been curious by this fragrance, and at this time, seeing that Ling'er had not forgotten to please himself at the last moment, he laughed and said: "As far as you are the most eccentric, no one dares to argue with me in Da Zhou." Just open it, it's not up to me to say whether it's delicious or not, there are two more people here. β
Ling'er was just amusing everyone, and she was still a little confident in her craft, not to mention that it was the first time they had eaten these, so how did they know the standard of deliciousness.
The three of them picked up the chopsticks and put all kinds of dishes made of acacia flowers into their mouths, only to feel that they had never been delicious, with the fresh fragrance of the vegetables, and it was rare to have the unique softness of the acacia flowers and their own fragrance, where is this to eat vegetables. It's obviously just eating flowers. Ling'er looked at the expressions of these three and guessed that it tasted good, so with a wave of her hand, Qingxi brought a small pot over.
"I ate elegant things, and I also ate some down-to-earth, ground pot chicken."
It was already strange for everyone to look at the pot on the table, but at this time, listening to this explanation is also worthy of the name. No one has ever eaten chicken, and if you want to come to the imperial kitchen to make it several times more delicate and delicious than this, but the mentality is different, the venue is different, and the taste is different.
Emperor Xuanwen first put down his chopsticks and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. I only felt very spicy, but I was reluctant to spit it out. Ling'er smiled and handed over a piece of bread in the pot, "This chicken must be eaten with the cake to be delicious." β
The three of them were very happy to eat a piece of chicken and a bite of cake according to this method, and it didn't take much effort to see the bottom of the chicken flying cake in a small pot. After eating, he still couldn't get enough of it, and set his eyes on Ling'er. The look was as if the host was not kind and inconsiderate.
Ling'er helplessly held her cheeks in her hand, and said aggrievedly: "People have been busy for half a day, you should be content, and you don't want it anymore." β
Everyone came back to their senses, and Emperor Xuanwen couldn't help but laugh "hahaha" first. Ji Qian and King Heng were also embarrassed to put down the dishes and chopsticks. No one expected that since a meal was eaten so harmoniously, the so-called courtesy of monarchs and ministers was all forgotten, and their minds were all on the chopsticks.
"Ji Aiqing, your daughter is really well raised, in the past, my royal family lost her, and I will have to compensate her a hundred times after today, just wait for her to recover her memory and voluntarily return to the Chinese side of King Heng's mansion."
Ji Qian heard that Emperor Xuanwen treated Ling'er so kindly, although he didn't value this woman very much, maybe he was still a little wary of her to some extent, so he had to get up and thank him, "Old minister Xie Emperor Long'en, you must use the power of my prime minister's family wealth to cure Ling'er's illness as soon as possible." β
Ling'er muttered in her heart, "You are sick, Heng Wangfu, hum!" I'm not going back in this life, I'm going to go back to the 21st century, and that's my home. Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "What are you talking about?" Ling'er doesn't understand, I'm fine, where is there any illness, if I say that again, there will be no good food in the future. β
King Heng saw that Ling'er looked like an idiot, although he knew that she was pretending, but he had a hard time, and he didn't know when he would make her angry this time. Now that her father is in charge, and she looks at her so differently, it is really a great joy if the husband and wife can reunite as soon as possible. But seeing that Ling'er hadn't looked at herself for a long time, she couldn't help but feel depressed.
Seeing off the emperor and everyone, Ling'er sat on the chair weakly, this day's drama was really more tiring than catching monkeys in the Savage Valley for a day, and I really missed the carefree days of the Savage Valley.
"You two should stop caring about these dishes and plates, quickly put away these treasures, and say that the emperor may come again next time, so you don't have to bother Madame with sending them around." Ling'er estimated in her heart that since she was already planning to go back, she couldn't be like money like dung anymore, no matter what kind of money she bringed, she would change the villa for her family when the time came.
Qingxi and Nuo'er were embarrassed to see that Miss was silent, knowing that she must be playing her own wishful thinking again, according to the example of the past, it is useless to persuade at this time, the daughter of this Xiangfu has always been very good at earning money, and when the over-the-eye baby is not sent out in vain, the two of them are also used to it.
Fortunately, Ji Qian went back and instructed the Wang family, and put the furnishings in the Lingxi Courtyard, which may be useful in the future. Although the Wang family was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't afford to offend anyone left and right, so he could only look at the things in the house with painful eyes, and the things at the bottom of the box were impressively used as the daily decorations of the Lingxi Courtyard.
But after Ji Qian sent the emperor away, he turned around and wanted to go to the study, but the housekeeper came over with an embarrassed look on his face, and replied: "Master, something happened, eldest lady." β
Before he finished speaking, Ji Qian's face changed abruptly, and he walked quickly towards the study, only to see the family in the house, the three floors in the courtyard, and the three outer floors in the courtyard surrounded the study.
Ji Ran was sitting upright on the Taishi chair outside the study, and when he saw his father coming, he stood up proudly, "Father, the thief has been caught by the child and is locked inside, what do you old man think about it?" β
Ji Qian stepped forward a few steps, opened the door, and the big cow had already unlocked the acupoint by himself at this time, but there were many people outside, he tried several times and was forced to retreat, so he had to sit and wait for Xiangye to come back and then find a way to save himself.
'How are you?' Ji Qian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this thief to be his henchman at all, and then looked at the traces of the opening on the wall, and suddenly became furious, "Where is the thing being transported, say it quickly!" β
The big bull's eyes rolled, and at this time, if he said that the bones of the Blazing Emperor had been transported away by Mu Chenfeng, then the purpose of his trip would inevitably be exposed, and the old fox in front of him would never let him go. Simply heartbroken, said with a smile: "I have transported the things to a proper place, rest assured, it is very well kept for your old man, as long as you let me out, I will naturally return the things to you." β
"What do you want?" Ji Qian thought that the purpose of Da Niu stealing things was to get benefits from himself.
"10,000 taels of silver tickets, not a penny, see you in Qingfeng Cliff in three days. One hand for silver, the other hand for things. β
Ji Qian pondered for a long time, he knew the background of Da Niu well, but this kid didn't know that he was his father's killer, and it was only a matter of time before he wanted his life, and now he killed himself, don't blame himself for being ruthless. "Well, I'll see you in three days, don't you want to play any tricks, your every move is under the control of this prime minister." Ji Qian smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, looking at the kid in front of him who had not dried up. (To be continued.) )
