"Good! Good! I have grown up, become darker, and have matured a lot, this is the male son of my Xiao family, the Xiao family has four sons, each can fight, there is no one of the bad seeds, and you, the fourth, you are the most outstanding one among the seven generations of our Xiao family, our Xiao family has been a general, but there is no noble, and you have done it, you have done it very well! I am very satisfied with the father! ”

Xiao Wenkui slapped Xiao Ruxun's shoulder a few times to express his inner joy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The father and son made it to the dinner table together, and Xiao Wenkui asked Uncle Zhao to immediately ask the kitchen to make a few hot dishes to fill Xiao Ruxun's stomach.

"Your father and I have also been to the palace banquet, not to mention those virtual things, that is, what you go to see is not to eat, meet some big people, and then look at the beauty of the palace dishes, delicious is delicious, but not enough at all! Those sour old men have eaten enough, but our generals can once eat three catties of pot-bellied men, how can those things be enough!

Don't be afraid of trouble, Dad asked the kitchen to get you a few meat dishes, all fresh and delicious, your favorite before! Fill your stomach first and then talk about anything else, Caiyun is where your three sisters-in-law are talking with you, don't go first, go when you're full! ”

Xiao Ruxun didn't refute, he really didn't eat enough, he was full of thoughts in the palace, he didn't think about eating anything at all, but those who had no heart and lungs were probably full, and some people specially asked those palace people who served the food to get them more dishes to eat, Xiao Ruxun had been thinking about things at home and outside, absent-minded, and now when he returned home and looked at a table of leftovers, he was really hungry.

"Come back this time, you can rest for a while, our family, have a good reunion, the emperor's grace is mighty, give your three brothers a three-month vacation, you can let our family get together well."

The last time we got together was four years ago, and I don't know when the next time it will be, these three months, our father and son are going to play well, what they want to play and eat inside and outside the capital, all of them are said, your dad didn't mix up anything in the capital, but there is no shortage of money! ”

Xiao Wenkui probably drank too much, and he was not stingy with his generous shots, saying that he would take his sons to the best restaurants in the capital to eat the most expensive dishes, it is said that those cooks are all imperial chefs from the palace, so the things made are eaten by the emperor, not only to spend money, but also to have status to eat, if you are those businessmen who have empty money, people are not willing to give you food, you can't eat with money.

Xiao Ruxun never believed in this kind of thing, because now cooking for the emperor is no longer a matter of Honglu Temple, the imperial chefs of Honglu Temple have been complained by the whole people because the cooking is too unpalatable, and now the emperor has lost the meal ticket, and now the emperor eats all the small stoves that the eunuchs personally go to get, and some little eunuchs and old eunuchs learn from the chef, and then the master teaches the apprentices from generation to generation, and they are specially made for the emperor to eat, and the emperor eats well!

Just like Emperor Chongzhen is known as thrifty, he has to fast and eat vegetarian for ten days a month, while saving money, and praying for the Ming Dynasty, as a result, Emperor Lie felt that it was really tasteless when he ate real vegetarian food, and he was not happy to eat it, and he talked about it with the eunuchs in private, and the eunuchs were loyal to the emperor to do things wholeheartedly, and the emperor's requirements were their pursuit, so they came up with a way.

When making vegetarian dishes, first kill a goose, cut open the belly, wash the internal organs, and then stuff the vegetarian vegetables into it and steam them with the goose, and when the goose is steamed, then take out the vegetarian vegetables in the stomach, season the vegetarian dishes with broth, and then give them to the emperor to eat.

Chongzhen eats it, huh! Tasty! Delicious! Not bad! Do that in the future! Reward!

As a result, the cost of eating a vegetarian meal each month is greater than the cost of eating a normal diet.

You point to the chef in the folk restaurant who can come up with this solution for you?

Unless the imperial chef is a eunuch from the palace and has really cooked meals for the emperor, what kind of imperial chef is it? What we make at home may be better than what they make, and they spend money indiscriminately, purely for the sake of face, as far as Xiao Ruxun's original intention is to go hunting in the wild by himself, and then barbecue in the wild on the spot, the taste is better than eating in those so-called imperial restaurants.

But at this moment, Xiao Ruxun's mind was unstable by the "three-month vacation", and the joy of Fang Cai was swept away, and what was left was full of sorrow.

I don't know what kind of thoughts my father and three brothers should have when I say this.

"Dad, if it's really something Your Majesty has eaten, then we can spend as much as we want, but the point is that is it true? Can a person who cooks for the emperor be invited to a folk restaurant? Can you still swagger and play the flag? Aren't you afraid that the court will find out about him? ”

Xiao Rulan questioned.

"Don't believe it, boss, my father told you that the background of this restaurant is really not simple, if an ordinary restaurant dared to play such a banner, it would have been ordered to close down a long time ago, but this restaurant, not to mention now, Zhang Juzheng was so powerful back then, and he didn't dare to move this restaurant!"

Xiao Wenkui said the secrets of the palace mysteriously.

Xiao Rulan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"It can't be funded by one of those families, right?"

"Guess right, the British public did it, I don't know where they got the imperial chef from your father, but what is certain is that it must be the imperial chef who came out of the palace, otherwise the dignified British public would be disgraced? Looking for a lot of money? That's going to be a scandal! ”

Xiao Wenkui swore with a smile on his face.

Xiao Ruxun smiled and said: "Dad, eldest brother, second brother and third brother, we don't have to argue, when we go to eat, ask their chef in charge to come out and take a look, if it is a eunuch, it is really an imperial kitchen, if not, it is a fake, what our Majesty eats now is arranged by the cronies and eunuchs around him, from procurement to making imperial meals for His Majesty to eat, it is all the eunuch system in charge, if it is really an imperial kitchen, isn't it a eunuch?" ”

The four fathers and sons over there were stunned for a moment, and then laughed in unison.

Laughing like this, a few meat dishes were also served, Xiao Ruxun ate and drank, and the family talked for a while, Xiao Ruxun planned to tell the matter and let his father and brothers know.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, this triumphant reward, I not only promoted Hou to an official, but also got a send."

Xiao Wenkui stopped talking when he heard this, and asked, "Send?" What send? It's good to have a send! You were the chief soldier of Ningxia before, and you have made such a great contribution, if nothing else, the general soldier of Jizhen also has to have it, right? It was the most important military town of the Gongwei Jing Division. ”

The three brothers also looked at Xiao Ruxun expectantly.

Xiao Ruxun hesitated for a moment and said: "No, it's the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Border Pingnan in Yunnan, Guangxi and other places, and the Dongwu Kingdom in the south is guilty of the mirror, and the imperial court sent me to lead the troops south to conquer the Dongwu Kingdom." ”
