Chapter 592: Wild Capsule
Ying Zheng had already gotten up, and he was standing on a small mound with a wide view to listen to Li Si's explanation of the local customs and festivals, and when he saw me and Li Feng coming back together, he came over happily.
"Let me see, what delicious food my Tianxi has prepared for me." He walked over with great interest, took my hand and walked to the dining table of the camp, looked at the porridge soup and shepherd's cabbage brought from the people and smiled: "You made these with your own hands?" I don't seem to have seen this dish before, is it a dish that the imperial chef came up with, or did you play it on the spot? ”
It is easy to see that the imperial chef did not make wild vegetables for Ying Zheng, and listening to Ying Zheng talk like this, it seems that he didn't use it when he was exiled to Zhao State, so that's fine, at least there is no comparison, and he doesn't feel how unpalatable I made.
"Naturally, it's the result of the concubine's intelligence," I narcissistically said to myself, and seeing that the inner supervisor who tried the dish had already used it, I added a lump of steamed purses to Yingzheng, and said, "Your Majesty xià taste it and see how it tastes."
Li Hong has studied it, and said that this wild vegetable has a strong aroma, widens the intestines and reduces fire, and it is beneficial to eat more, if you feel that it is not to your taste, the concubine will let the imperial dining room give you a different trick. ”
Ying Zheng picked up the shepherd's cabbage and put it in his mouth, frowned slightly, chewed carefully, and didn't speak for a long time.
Lifeng kept staring at Ying Zheng, and saw that Ying Zheng's expression was serious enough, but he didn't comment at all, so he pulled down the corners of his mouth and lost interest.
"Lifeng thought that the craftsmanship of the concubine on the side of the stream was so good, that she could cook for her father, but now seeing her father's embarrassment, she knows that she has too much expectation." She directly gave up the meal of shepherd's cabbage, and she didn't even want to taste it herself.
Ying Zheng loves to look at her. Then he looked at me with a hidden smile.
"Have you tasted Tianxi?"
I'm afraid that it's not good if it's salty, so I deliberately tasted it when I was cooking, but when I saw that Yingzheng's meaning was unclear, he asked me directly. I don't know if I should say I'm happy with the taste.
I remember that at home thousands of years later, my mother would always mix wild vegetables with flour and steam them for me to eat, she said that it is good to eat more wild vegetables, and the original taste is the best, so today's dish is also the original tasteless.
"Your Majesty, the slave concubine has tasted it. Don't concubines like the taste of shepherd's cabbage? "I'm a little depressed.
I wanted Yingzheng to try it and be in a better mood, but I didn't expect it to ruin his feelings for a wild vegetable.
"Lifeng didn't eat it, did you?" He asked again.
Lifeng was swallowing the ginseng soup when she heard Ying Zheng's inquiry. Cover your mouth with a handkerchief and swallow the food, and gently wipe the corners of your lips before opening your mouth.
"Xibian's mother concubine carefully made zuò dishes for her father, how dare Lifeng use it before her father?" She said sarcastically.
Ying Zheng nodded to indicate that he heard Lifeng's answer clearly, and he took another chopstick and shepherd's cabbage into the mouth. Taste it slowly. Then he put down his chopsticks seriously.
"The taste of this imperial dish is sweet, but it cannot withstand the exquisite taste of the rest of the dishes; The color is elegant, but it can't match the crystal beauty of the rest of the dishes; The blending is simple, but it can't match the meticulous carving of the rest of the dishes. He glanced at my lonely and bowed head, stretched out his hand to invite me to hold hands, and said: "Plain, very shallow qualifications, there is nothing to be nostalgic about, but." It's the most heartwarming dish I've ever used! ”
Rollback?!
Carefully make a dish, which is criticized by the beloved, and finally paved the way for praise. This should be a very common thing, but these words came from the mouth of Yingzheng, the first emperor who has always been silent and his words will inevitably determine life and death, but it makes me unbelievable.
Ying Zheng, who has eaten the dishes that have been decided, will be impressed by me, a small wild vegetable that just wants to do his part, and praise me, which I dare not bear.
"Your Majesty, this meal is simple, it's not that the concubine is lazy, but the concubine feels that this practice will retain its original medicinal value, and please don't care about it, let people withdraw it."
If Yingzheng is teasing me for the first time to praise me so much, then I would rather he not make this joke; If Yingzheng really came to encourage my confidence in cooking, then I would still not be encouraged by this and practice silently. Because no matter how Ying Zheng comforts me, I will be even more sad if he is difficult to do.
Yingzheng did not agree to my request, and he stood up sternly and stood side by side with me.
"Everyone says that my Lady Creek has nothing to show for herself, and she will only use her posture to sway my mind, but how do they know that my Lady Creek is actually willing to make this wild vegetable as plain, quiet and peaceful to comfort my heart.
The imperial chefs are very skilled, and they can always spend their best to make the meals I love to eat, they are responsible for it, and then ask for rewards, Tianxi, you have a heart, and the flowers are a love for me, I know in my heart, I didn't know enough about you in the past, and now I can be considered to understand you. ”
He looked at my teary eyes, pinched my cheek gently, and smiled warmly at me.
"Lifeng, you can taste the most delicious delicacy that your father has ever used, and see if you can feel some of the precious virtues of your concubine on the side of the stream."
Ying Zheng began to show off his princess to his daughter; Lifeng had to eat it, she put a chopstick in her mouth, because of Yingzheng's praise first, her disgust did not show much.
"It's really bland," she chewed slowly, "and the feeling of the concubine on the side of the river is very different. ”
"That's the essence." Ying Zheng suddenly took the opportunity to educate his daughter: "In a blink of an eye, you have reached the age when you should leave the cabinet, you are really old, and there are some things that you can't ignore, just like this sight and the truth, you should carefully ponder the mystery."
It is not what you hear, seem, or say is the truth of the matter, no matter what you do or where you will be in the future, you should know this, and then distinguish between right and wrong. ”
No one thought that Ying Zheng would suddenly pick up the role of his father, and it was so touching, we were all stunned in place, and even Lifeng thanked him after a few seconds.
"Father, Lifeng doesn't want to get married, Lifeng wants to stay by his father's side for a lifetime." Lifeng said shyly.
The father and daughter, the style of painting has changed again and again, and now because of Lifeng's embarrassment, it has become a warm joke.
"Stay by my father's side and be an old girl? I don't allow it, it's enough for me to have your mother concubine on the side of the stream, even if the Huating is big in the coming year, you have to go out of the cabinet according to the rules, this time on the way, you go more and see more, if there is a place you want to settle down, I try my best to satisfy you. He said lovingly. (To be continued......)
