Chapter 314: Hongjin Shrimp Balls
Noon. After King Zheng bathed well, he poured 20,000 fresh fish soup into his stomach and dined with the king and queen of Han who were sitting opposite.
"Are you alright......"
"It's okay...... Brother Wang, I somehow remembered my father's appearance last night, and that night...... General, I'll ......"
"Brother Zheng, no matter whether you are in a good mood or not, in short, when you want to drink, you must remember to call me, you are always easy to get drunk when you drink alone......
"Yes......"
Yan Yu looked at King Zheng who was sitting opposite with a sad face, and seemed to put aside the refreshing mood brought by the little tangerines in the morning, and slowly ate the eloquence, and felt tasteless.
"Two princes, the queen of Han ......" Steward Wang came into the door with a smiling face, dragged a food plate into the flower hall where several people were eating, and glanced at the meal on the table that barely moved, and said cautiously, "The children of my maternal uncle's relatives made a good dish, so she showed her hand in the kitchen, the color and taste of this meal are really good, especially the taste of this Hongjin shrimp ball and celery lily is very good, one meat and one vegetable, it is the intention of this doll, and please taste it all the princes and queens." ......”
As he spoke, he put the two hot dishes on the table. King Zheng, who was sitting opposite, smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! All right! Steward Wang, there is a subordinate in the house, is it to leave you to be your own decision, such a trivial matter, you still need to report to me, what do you think of me, the prince, your assistant to the king steward, is it specially for you? ”
As soon as King Zheng's voice came out, he frightened the housekeeper Wang, and he was busy talking back and forth, holding a smiling face, "That's good!" The old slave thought that if this doll could really make a good dish, then it would ......"
"That's it! All right! Then stay...... You're always like this, you can't show a little bit of the royal housekeeper's demeanor, don't come to tell me about such things in the future......"
"Hmm...... It tastes really good......"
"Yes! Brother, especially this Hongjin shrimp ball, the taste is amazing......"
"Oh! I didn't expect Xiaoxi to use the word amazing to describe food, not bad! Not bad! If it's amazing, then you can eat more......" Yan Yu glanced at Steward Wang, who was standing aside with a smile in his eyes, and landed a shrimp ball on King Zheng's plate, and said, "You can taste it too, it tastes really good......
"As for this celery lily, huh...... Delicious! Delicious! You all taste it, and it tastes even better, even...... It even tastes like I ate it when I was a child...... It's nostalgic......"
"The prince said yes, that's good...... housekeeper Wang stood there, looked at Yan Yu with his eyes, as if there was something else to say, how Yan Yu couldn't detect it, "I said Brother Zheng Wang, this Wang steward is not a bad thing to be careful in everything, and such a trivial matter, in fact, I also had a word before I said it before, I took the lead first, and told Steward Wang that now in a special period, everything is careful, especially here with people who come and go in the house, you must pay more attention to it...... As Steward Wang said, since this woman is his relative, there must be no need to worry about it, but what should be told is also normal, out of public interest, you are really blessed to have such a housekeeper......"
"Yes, yes, yes!" King Zheng shook his voice and hurriedly swallowed the shrimp ball in his mouth, "Yes, yes! Brother Wang is right, in this extraordinary period, it is natural to use extraordinary methods, how can I forget this...... All right! In the future, things like this must be strictly investigated, and I, inside and outside the palace, Steward Wang must also pay more attention, and being more careful is not a bad thing after all......"
"The old slave must be remembered...... I will do it......"
"Oh! That's right! What's the name of this cook? ”
"That woman is a small word lily......"
"Lily!" Yan Yu smiled when she heard this, and said, "Isn't that ...... with a black veil on his face?"
"That's right! It's her! Lord, you ......"
"Oh! It's nothing! It's just that when I got up in the morning to carry the oranges, I saw that her dress caught my attention, well, it's all right, but the taste of her food is really good, and when I want to eat in the future, this lily girl will make it, which suits my appetite very much......"
"Hey...... The old slave must do it......"
A few people watched Steward Wang go out of the door in a hurry, feasting on it, and really moved the full plate of Hongjin shrimp balls and celery lilies in an instant.
......
"Brother, what did Jiang Han say in his letter?"
"Lingnan Province received a military transfer letter from the imperial court, saying that the Song people in the north had invaded the border and asked me to lead 20,000 horses to meet the battle......"
"The Song people committed a border ...... It can't be ......"
"The brothers Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Kuangyin have just changed the dynasty, and if they don't care about internal affairs, they will commit the side of the Tang Dynasty...... It's impossible to ......"
"It's really ......impossible," Yan Yu sat under the lamp, read the secret letter carefully, and said, "I think, this military order is most likely the so-called of Shangguan Tianqi and Yeli and others, the purpose is to divert the tiger from the mountain, so that I don't interfere in the palace coup in front of me......
"Then we ......"
Knock knock knock......
"Who?"
"It's me, Lily, the supper you ordered is ready......
"Oh! It's a lily! Yan Yu got up and opened the door, it was the woman with a black veil, the woman's eyes flashed, but she didn't face Yan Yu, put the food plate on the table, and was about to dodge away, Yan Yu looked at the two bowls of chicken soup and a few delicious side dishes, and said, "There is Miss Lao, I often stay up late these days, so you can't rest......
The woman turned and bowed slightly, and before she could say more, she went out the door.
"Strange to say, the taste of the food she cooked is very much to my liking, and every time I eat her food, I always feel like I have returned to my childhood...... You say it's strange...... aren't you weird" Yan Yu tasted a mouthful of tender chicken soup and handed another bowl in front of Xiao Xi, but Xiao Xi held it in his hand and put it back, "Ma Wuye grass and no fat have become a mantra of my brother, but no matter how delicious it is, Xiao Xi will not eat it......"
"Why?"
"Afraid you'll get fat?"
......
Late at night, in the Xishui Market, a fast horse galloped by.
A scout walked through the streets, and when the horse's hooves were trampling, he had already approached the door of King Zheng's mansion, and there was another knock on the door, which alarmed the guards.
"I am a scout under the Han King of Lingnan Dao, and I have something important to report to the King of Han......"
In the room, Yan Yu sat on the chair of the pear circle, and the scout in front of him was kneeling on one knee, his mouth sonorous, "...... Now, General Bai's 20,000 horses have been assembled and are stationed near Luan Pavilion, which is fifty miles away from Jiangning Mansion, in addition, the five thousand elites led by General Jiang Han have all infiltrated Jiangning yesterday, waiting for the prince to dispatch at any time......"
"So good......
