Chapter 424: The Hunt Ends
"Oh? How is she? When Qi Yan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked. I wasn't surprised at all to hear that someone's horse was manipulating, obviously I knew about it.
"The person is fine, he was rescued by Jin Yatou and Yanfeng."
"Huh?" How did these people come together?
"Zuo Sisi's horse was shocked, and it happened that Yanfeng was nearby, so they did a favor, but it turned out to be unpleasant." Then King Yong recounted what he heard from the guards to Qi Yan. Qi Yan listened to it and didn't say anything about it, but since King Yong had already said it, it was obvious that he would let him call the shots. Zhengchou has no excuse to attack the forces of the Zuo family, this is an excuse to send it to the door.
"Heh, I don't know how the person who started it would feel if he knew that he didn't hurt the main owner, but he almost hurt the people of the Zuo family?" Qi Yan said.
"Hmph, this account will naturally be settled between themselves." Qi Fenggu said, "On the side of the Marquis of Songyang, the emperor has figured out how to deal with it?" ”
"Hmph, he may not know who killed his son, but he just wants to use my hand to put some pressure on the Zuo family. However, after this incident, he should also know that Li Hengcheng is my person, Li Yan is not old and confused, and after this incident, he can naturally understand my attitude, then he will naturally stand in the right position.
But there is one thing I don't understand, so many people are plotting, with Jiang Duanyu and the two of them, how did they get rid of it? The two of them were unharmed, and there was no trace of them in the forest afterwards. Uncle Huang, did you give her such a powerful manpower? ”
When King Yong heard this, he shook his head:
"It's not the person I arranged, as for where the person came from. I don't know. The Qianyin guards who stayed on the periphery of the enclosure did not notice anything unusual, and yesterday it was Bao Guodong who noticed that the guards suddenly transferred a team of people, and the sergeants who patrolled outside the camp were transferred to two teams. So I told them to come in and keep the camp safe.
The two of them were frightened suddenly, and they were far from the camp, and when the people I sent found them, they were already about to return to the camp, and I don't know if the guards who acted privately had any contact with them. Now, that team of people has disappeared out of thin air, and there is no way to find out. ”
"I remember. Uncle Huang said that Fang Shujin once gathered a few subordinates? ”
When Qi Fenggu heard this, he waved his hand casually and said:
"Yes. It's just a few idle people, and the king doesn't think they're going to be that powerful. Besides, if it is really a brocade girl who can have such a strong self-protection power, it will save me from worrying. ”
Qi Yan heard this. looked at his imperial uncle. Sigh in my heart. Of course, he would not doubt that his imperial uncle would favor Shu Jin as an outsider, but judging by his love for that Shu Jin, I am afraid that he will not carefully investigate how powerful she is.
In order to help himself, Uncle Huang has been alone all his life, and it is easy to recognize a godgranddaughter, and he can't embarrass him. However, that Fang Shujin is just a businessman. Even having a handful of people is not a threat to you, and everything is under control at this time. So Qi Yan is not worried. Thinking so, Qi Yan said:
"Zuo family, I have to teach you a lesson."
When Qi Fenggu heard this, of course he agreed. Road:
"Naturally, the emperor is in charge of this matter, and the king wants to go back to the camp tent for lunch!" As he spoke, he walked away with a red face.
Looking at Qi Fenggu's disappearing back, Qi Yan couldn't help but smack his lips. That Shu Jin's craftsmanship really doesn't have to be said, although he is the emperor, he can't ask her to cook for himself all day long, but the emperor's uncle can cook all the meals with her. Hey, Uncle Huang is really a good mouthful. It's useless to think too much, so let's do things.
Thinking about it, Qi Yan collected his thoughts and began to deal with official business without distractions.
No matter who did what kind of tricks and feet, they were all operated secretly, and Qi Yan did not let these things affect the process of the hunt. The hunt is finally over.
The second day after the official end of the hunt, it was a grand celebration banquet. As the chief chef designated by the emperor, Shu Jin is naturally very busy, some ingredients have been prepared in the first few days, and on the day of the banquet, the banquet will not start until the evening, but Shu Jin has to start preparing before dawn.
During the day, there will be all kinds of competitions, such as poetry competitions, martial arts competitions, riding competitions, archery skills, etc. Shu Jin took advantage of the time to prepare the ingredients, and also watched a few lively scenes, in the poem of the competition, Li Hengcheng actually won the championship, and now won the emperor's commendation, Songyang Hou smiled and was honored; Jiang Duanyu once wanted to participate in the martial arts, but now he is already an official in the court, so he will not participate in the martial arts, but in this hunting martial arts competition, although Jiang Duanyu did not win the championship, he also performed well, and the emperor also praised it; There are also some wonderful archery performances and wrestling matches, and Shu Jin also occasionally comes out to join in the fun, and after a few glances, he goes back to the dining room to continue to be busy.
By the time the sun was setting, the sky was still clear, and a bonfire had been lit on the grassland. Because it was a celebration feast, it was different from the bonfires that were scattered in the past, this time there were five large bonfires in the open space under the stands, and the flames reached into the sky, and around it were low tables and cushions with single seats, and the emperor and others were all sitting around the bonfire.
At the end of the day's competition, it was already performance time, and Qi Yan and everyone had already sat down in priority and began to enjoy the music and dance.
At this time, everyone in the monarchs and ministers was very relaxed, and compared with their relaxation, the dining room was simply busy. The menus of the officials above the second grade are all drawn up and made by Shu Jin, because it is a single table, so the dishes do not need too much, and there are many people to help start, but since it is Shu Jin's dishes, it is natural that others will not, so she is indispensable to check the process by process.
Wash and wipe the pheasant dry, hang it up to dry, put the seasoning into the chicken's belly, insert the two chicken feet into the belly from the tail, wrap it in paper, and fix the shape of the chicken with a toothpick through the chicken neck and tail; Stir-fry the same amount of coarse salt as the chicken until lightly browned, put it in a clay pot, spread one-third of the coarse salt on the bottom, then put in the chicken, and pour the remaining coarse salt to cover the chicken. Cover the mouth of the crockpot with a damp cloth and burn it for an hour.
Because the pheasant is small, there are not many whole chickens, so it is just right to make this salt-baked chicken.
The whole elbow is cooked with green onions, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, etc., cooled, deboned, and sliced into meat, but the skin is not cut. Put oil in the pot, turn sugar, put soy sauce and salt, put the elbow in and cook, and then collect the soup in a big way, and pour the soup on the elbow while collecting the soup. By the time the pot came out, the elbow had changed color and was bright red, and the final soup was poured on the elbow in its entirety. Such a serving of Dongpo elbow can be regarded as one of the main dishes on the table of second-grade officials.
And the main dish of officials above the first grade, and even the emperor's main dish, is another good dish that Shu Jin has never had the opportunity to try to make in his previous life. (To be continued.) )
