Chapter 267: Secret Talk

Thinking of coming to the entire palace, the only one who dared to give the prince the leftover food overnight was Shu Jin.

The so-called steamed cakes are actually steamed buns, and after the baked steamed bread slices in later generations were given a new name by Shu Jin in a very literary and artistic style, she made her famous with the sentence "cut into Qiong leaves and chewed to make snowflakes".

Since then, "Crisp Qiongye" has also hung a sign in the imperial dining room. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Because it is cooking for Yonglao, Shu Jin takes into account the health problem, and it is not suitable to eat too greasy at night, so the dishes are mainly less oil, and the meat dishes try to choose chicken and fish.

The fish meat is deboned and spine, carefully kneaded into thin strips, made into "fish sticks", and then boiled with green vegetables, when eating, with Shu Jin's homemade sauce, the fish is delicious, the taste is smooth, and the green vegetables are refreshing.

The roots of burdock are washed, peeled and cooked, then flattened and dried, mixed and marinated with salt, sauce, fennel, dill, pepper, ginger, cooked oil and other condiments, and then dried in the oven, and the texture and taste are the same as dried meat.

This burdock is actually quite common in Chinese medicine, also called "beef vegetables", and it also has a not very nice name called "evil truth", probably because of the ugly shape of its fruit. In later generations, people rarely ate this, and they all used it as a Chinese medicinal material. This thing has the effect of evacuating wind and heat, clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting the lungs and improving the pharynx, and dissipating swelling. This meat-like dish is called "burdock breast".

There is also "crispy Langyu", which is actually made by blanching the lettuce and then adding condiments.

In addition, the "mountain and sea pocket" and "golden jade soup" that I had eaten in the apricot orchard were also put on the table by Shu Jinxian.

After all, there are still rules in the palace, so only Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng can eat with King Yong. These meals are enough for three people.

Shu Jin simply made a few small stir-fry with the dishes on the side for Erjia Ge Cunzhong and them, and then went to eat separately.

After the meal, Shu Jin did not reserve talking to King Yong and Chai Yanfeng about what he met in the palace today. After listening to what Shu Jin said. Chai Yanfeng frowned, while Yong Lao slapped the table and said:

"These things are getting more and more unpleasant! I have to make this palace and the palace and the palace miserable! ”

"Grandpa, I always feel that someone seems to want to be unfavorable to the eldest prince." Shu Jin comforted King Yong not to be angry, and then said.

"Hmph. The two princes are about the same age, and they are growing up day by day, and some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have. This is not surprising. Now that the national strength of the big show is thriving, they also have the heart to play with intrigues! You were almost implicated! ”

Yong Lao thought for a while, and then said, "Jin girl." Originally, I thought you were afraid of trouble. So it's because you don't disclose your identity, and now it seems that not disclosing your identity puts you in danger. I think I'd better take you into the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible. ”

Qi Fenggu's words are not unreasonable. The so-called people are soft-spoken, Shu Jin found that in this Changdu, where he would bump into a high-ranking official and powerful at every turn, there was no identity to determine. It's really a cow, a ghost, a snake and a god who wants to come to her and step on her feet.

Li Lisheng is a case in point. He is just a petty official from the seventh grade, and in Changdu, he was originally a master who had to be a man with his tail between his legs when he entered the imperial city. But at the gathering of the imperial merchants, he became the object of everyone's stitching.

These imperial businessmen have a lot of money, but when they kneel down to thank him, they have to obediently follow him, and they don't even dare to say anything to him.

And villains like Hong Ruifeng are always flattering to Li Lisheng when they are flattering, but when they turn their heads, they dare to fight the idea of annexing her sugar mill.

Of course, Shu Jin understands the reason why officials crush people to death. Hiding her identity is to be more comfortable, but once she hides, more people will make her uncomfortable, so it's better to reveal her identity.

"Okay, just let Grandpa arrange it." Thinking of this, Shu Jin Chong Yong said.

Although Yong Lao wanted to take Shu Jin to see the emperor as soon as possible, many envoys have recently made pilgrimages to Changdu, and the imperial businessmen have to meet with envoys from various countries in addition to dealing with government affairs and military affairs, which is really busy. So before Shu Jin entered the palace, he still went out of the imperial city to see Li Hengcheng.

The people sent by Li Hengcheng went to the Yongwang Mansion and made an appointment with Shu Jin to meet at the place.

Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng went out of the imperial city in an ordinary carriage driven by Erjia, and under the leadership of the people sent by Li Hengcheng, they went south, straight through five horizontal streets, and turned several times before they found a private house in Jiahuifang.

The person sent by Li Hengcheng arrived in front of the house and sounded the code, and someone inside finally opened the door. As soon as Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng entered, the door was immediately closed.

For Li Hengcheng to be so cautious, Chai Yanfeng and Shu Jin didn't say anything, but entered the main hall under the leadership of Li Hengcheng's men, where Li Hengcheng was already waiting there. As soon as he saw Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng coming together, he raised the teacup in his hand and said:

"Long time no see, two. Originally, when the two of them arrived in Changdu, I should have been the host to invite the two of them to eat and shop, but in the current situation, it is really not suitable for people to know about our relationship. Tea is used here instead of wine, so let's apologize to the two of you first. ”

As he spoke, he drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

"It doesn't matter." Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng sat down, and after both of them drank a cup of tea, Chai Yanfeng spoke, "Brother Qian Si just returned from an errand, and he wants to come to pay homage to the official, right?" Congratulations to Brother Qiansi. ”

If it was in the past, Chai Yanfeng would have been very surprised when he said this, but at this moment, because Shu Jin was already the granddaughter of King Yong, as Shu Jin's father-in-law, it was not unusual for Chai Yanfeng to know these news. Actually, what Li Hengcheng didn't know was that Chai Yanfeng knew that Shu Jin told him the news.

The two sides haven't seen each other for a long time, and they haven't been together as long as Zhuo Tong and others, so there is still a sense of distance when chatting. However, after a while, someone served the food and drink, and the three of them chatted while eating, and slowly opened up the topic. Li Hengcheng first took the initiative to talk to Shu Jin about what happened in the palace yesterday:

"After you left yesterday, I went to the Xianyun Palace, which is the place of Concubine Yun. You know, nowadays, she's my aunt by generation, so she has to go on an errand. Later, I inquired about what had happened in the palace and what had followed.

The personal eunuch of the eldest prince was severely punished by the queen and the emperor, and the three rough envoys of the imperial dining room did not ask anything useful. The emperor's intention is not to make another wave at this eventful time, so nine times out of ten, this matter is going to be a big thing. ”

Shu Jin nodded when she heard this, she had guessed the emperor's plan as early as when she "heard" the emperor say that she would let those guards go back to their positions.

He could guess what was going on with a little thought about such a thing, and not pursuing it meant that he didn't plan to get to the bottom of the people behind the scenes for the time being.

However, the emperor specially strengthened the guards at the eldest prince's place, and also specially instructed that the eldest prince was no longer allowed to walk alone. This time, the guards in the emperor's palace have changed the people of the queen's family, and they want to be safe here. (To be continued......)

PS: In other words, most of the dishes mentioned in Yuzu Sauce Wenli are true! As for borrowing the verses of the ancients, well, there shouldn't be any ancients who jumped up and said that Shu Jin plagiarized~ hahaha
