Chapter 36: Good News for the Prefect

"Lord Prefect, this is a new dish prepared by Haixuan Pavilion to entertain you, please taste it. After the stove was lit, the guys put the three soup pots on the rack, and then placed the dishes in front of the prefect in turn, Ye Haixuan got up and introduced.

"It looks like a novelty, but this soup is boiling on the fire, and the dish is raw, how to eat it?" asked Ye Haixuan with a smile on his face.

Ye Shouli on the side also saw hot pot for the first time, and he was still thinking about what tricks his son did when he was away.

"Back to the prefect, this boiling soup is used to cook these dishes. Ye Haixuan introduced: "The three pots are Haixuan Pavilion's secret spicy pot, bone soup pot and mushroom soup pot. The dishes are cooked in different pots and the flavor is strongest when they are fresh. If you feel too hot, you can also dip it in the sesame oil garlic prepared for you, which is another flavor. ”

When the prefect heard this, he was immediately eager to try, and after he personally soaked the goose intestines and fat cows, he was full of praise.

"This spicy pot is exactly what I want! I've never eaten anything so delicious. Haixuan Pavilion really deserves to be the first restaurant!" the more the prefect ates, the happier he becomes, and he praises him again and again.

Ye Shouli on the side was also flushed, and Ye Haixuan was naturally very happy.

"Master, this mushroom soup pot is very fragrant, and I feel very comfortable in my stomach when I drink it directly. "The prefect's wife is not very good at spicy food, and she has had some colds recently. I feel very comfortable in a bowl of mushroom soup pot, and my nose is clear.

"Then you're going to have to drink more. As he spoke, the prefect stood up and personally served a bowl of soup to his wife.

After a full meal and wine, the prefect summoned He Jingjing.

"I heard that you made this dish?" Seeing that the chef turned out to be a little girl, the prefect was a little incredulous: "It turned out to be a little girl." ”

"Back to the prefect, this dish is indeed made by a folk girl. He Jingjing bowed and then continued: "It is the greatest honor of the people to make the prefect eat happily. ”

"Hahaha, what a clever little girl. Let me ask you, what's the name of this dish?" the prefect continued.

"Back to my lord, this dish is called Sichuan hot pot. He Jingjing replied.

"Sichuan hot pot?" said the prefect after a long silence: "This place is still far away from Sichuan, how can it be called Sichuan hot pot? ”

Seeing this, Ye Shouli on the side said to the prefect: "Then according to the adult's opinion, what should this dish be called?"

"Since this dish was made by Haixuan Pavilion to entertain me, let's change it to 'prefect hot pot'!" said the prefect with a smile.

"Your Excellency is wise!" echoed everyone present. So Sichuan hot pot became prefect hot pot.

When the prefect was leaving, he also wrote a piece of writing and gave it to Haixuan Pavilion, and rewarded He Jingjing with fifty taels of silver. He Jingjing naturally accepted it happily. This time to entertain the prefect, He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan are a win-win situation.

The next day, He Jingjing packed her luggage and prepared to leave Ye Haixuan.

"You're leaving so soon?" Ye Haixuan looked a little melancholy, after all, He Jingjing was a rare talent in cooking, so he naturally hoped that she would stay in Haixuan Pavilion for a longer time.

"It's been so long, I'm a little worried about my family. He Jingjing said earnestly.

"You don't have to worry about this, I've arranged for people to take care of your family, and they're all fine. Ye Haixuan said.

"Thank you Ye Gongzi, but I still feel a little uneasy when I didn't see it with my own eyes. Besides, my father and mother are not in good health, and there are two little sisters and a younger brother at home. ”

Seeing that He Jingjing's attitude was more resolute, Ye Haixuan didn't keep it, only gave her an extra hundred taels of silver, and then prepared to send someone to send her home.

Who knew that when He Jingjing had just stepped through the gate of Haixuan Pavilion, the prefect came.

"He Jingjing, where are you going to go after packing your baggage?" The prefect couldn't help but ask when he saw He Jingjing with his luggage, as if he was leaving.

"Back to the prefect, the people's daughter's family is in the village more than 30 miles away from here, and she has been working in Haixuan Pavilion for several days. He Jingjing said truthfully.

"It's a good thing to have filial piety, but if there is no urgency at home, it doesn't hurt to go back later, you come in with me, I have something to say to you. The prefect called He Jingjing back to Haixuan Pavilion in a few words.

"I don't know what the prefect has to order this time?" Ye Haixuan stepped forward and asked.

"I ate your prefect's hot pot in Haixuan Pavilion yesterday, and I can't forget it when I go back, and I'm here again today. The prefect took a sip of tea and said, "He Jingjing, you can do it again in a while." ”

It turned out that this was the case, He Jingjing's heart was relieved, and then she hurriedly quit and went to work in the kitchen.

Seeing He Jingjing go and return, the cooks were very happy. These days, they admire this little girl who is not arrogant or impatient, and has superb cooking skills, and they take care of her everywhere.

"Jingjing, didn't you say you went home, why did you come back again?" Zhao San'er said with a concerned face: "Is something wrong?"

"Brother San'er, it's okay, I met the prefect when I went out, and the prefect named me to eat the prefect's hot pot again, so I went back to the kitchen. He Jingjing explained.

"I see, we're here to help you. So the kitchen was busy again. It was still half an hour later, and the prefect ate the prefect's hot pot that he had in mind.

After eating, the prefect wiped his mouth, took a sip of tea, and called He Jingjing over.

"Haixuan, Jingjing. In addition to wanting to eat prefect hot pot this time, I have good news to tell you. ”

"What's the good news?" He Jingjing asked puzzled.

"Sit down and talk slowly. The prefect pointed to the seat next to him and said to Ye Haixuan and He Jingjing.

"The emperor has decreed that starting from this year, a cooking competition will be held every three years in various civil states, and the winners will enter the imperial dining room to work. The prefect said slowly, who knew that the two people in front of him had no expression.

"Aren't you happy?" asked the prefect strangely.

"We are happy, happy. Ye Haixuan and He Jingjing exchanged glances and said with a far-fetched smile.

The prefect didn't notice it, and only felt that they were stunned by this sudden good news. Then he continued: "The No. 1 restaurant in Haixuan Pavilion is in my jurisdiction, so I am going to assign He Jingjing to compete and win this honor." ”

"Back to the prefect, I'm afraid the people can't do it!"
