Chapter 121? Feast in the palace
Cheng Yue turned his head to Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu behind the curtain and said, "The minister's disposal has been completed, can the sage see that it is still appropriate?" ”
Xie Daoqing finally calmed down and said, "Cheng Qing handled it properly, and the mourning family took care of it." ”
Cheng Yue respectfully saluted and said: "The minister is frightened, and he doesn't dare to praise him as a saint." ”
Xie Daoqing was afraid that Cheng Yue would do something again, so he was anxious to end the court meeting, and said: "It's time to eat at this moment, Cheng Qing, would you like to have some food with the old woman of the mourning family?" ”
Cheng Yue said happily: "It is the honor of Weichen." ”
A chamberlain stood up next to him and shouted, "Feast, please wait." ”
Xie Daoqing said with a smile: "Cheng Qing also bought a lot of refined salt in the palace, it is really delicious." The mourning family heard that Cheng Qing also invented a new seasoning, but he couldn't buy it, I don't know if the mourning family has this mouthful? ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Sage, this new seasoning is called monosodium glutamate, and the minister has some with him, if the sage is not rude, he is willing to fry a few dishes for the sage." ”
The whole hall, except for Cheng Yue's subordinates, and the palace maids who were moving the tables and chairs, all thought that they had heard it wrong.
Cheng Yue! Now he is a figure who controls the world, and he can actually cook!
It was a standard waiter's job, and the status of the steward and chamberlain of the imperial dining room was not high. But it's just a cook, who cares?
Li Fu saw Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu behind the curtain and was so surprised that his body froze, and said with a smile: "Sage, the minister has eaten the dishes fried by the Dadu Governor in the camp of the Dadu Governor, which is really delicious in the world." It's a pity that the Metropolitan Governor is too busy to cook in person, if the saint can wait a while. Then there is a mouthful! ”
Xie Fangde and the others also nodded. A smile spread across his face.
Li Tingzhi also joked: "It must be fried by the Metropolitan Governor himself." The others are not familiar with the craft, and the Metropolitan Governor can now be called the first chef in the world. As long as the saint tastes it, he will definitely applaud it. ”
Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu were very curious. They spend most of their time in the palace bored, and they always want to experience something new. Cheng Yue has already given them many surprises.
Xie Daoqing likes to eat preserved eggs the most, and he sent them from Suzhou. Xie Daoqing praised it as soon as he tasted it, if it weren't for the fact that he heard that he couldn't eat more, Xie Daoqing couldn't have left it.
Quan Jiu's favorite soap. It is much stronger than other things in the bath, and it is fragrant after washing, and the mood is particularly comfortable.
When the two heard that Cheng Yue could also cook, they couldn't help but be eager to try. But Cheng Yue is a man after all, and he is also a powerful minister in the world, and they dare not open their mouths to let Cheng Yue cook.
Cheng Yue saw their embarrassment, and said with a smile: "The minister is in a hurry, and I haven't prepared gifts for the two saints and the adults, so let's make up for it with a few dishes." With that, he stood up and pulled over a chamberlain. Let him take him to the imperial dining room.
Cheng Yue's subordinates took out their collection of MSG from their arms, and each of them set aside some. put it together and let Cheng Yue take it.
The civil and military forces of the Song Dynasty couldn't help but salivate when they saw that this MSG was so precious and had to be collected closely, and even Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong looked forward to it. Although they hate Cheng Yue, they love Cheng Yue's things very much.
Cheng Yue followed the chamberlain through the palace and Yue courtyard, and when he arrived at the imperial dining room, he scared the chamberlains who were cooking in the imperial dining room so much that they almost knelt down, and he didn't know what Cheng Yue wanted to do.
The head of the imperial dining room is called Guo Song, and when he heard that the governor of Cheng Dadu, who even Wang Yu said he would beat, came, he hurried from the room and stood aside with his hands down to listen to the instructions.
Guo Song thought that Cheng Yue was going to eat something, but he didn't expect Cheng Yue to come to stir-fry!
The waiters in the imperial dining room were not only stunned, but also excited. Governor Cheng can also cook! I feel that my status has suddenly risen a lot.
Cheng Yue asked them to prepare all kinds of ingredients, cut them all kindly, and then make the fire prosperous, and began to stir-fry the vegetables.
The waiters in the imperial dining room are all studying on the side, and Cheng Yue does not hide his secrets, teaching while doing, and admiring the attendants in the imperial dining room. I've been cooking for half a lifetime, but I didn't expect there to be so many ways to cook, and I opened my eyes!
After being busy for most of the hour and running out of MSG, Cheng Yue made eight dishes and one soup. Although there are a lot of dishes, there are many Korean Chinese martial arts, and each person can only get a little bit of each dish.
The imperial dining room was already full of people, and the palace maids who heard the news all rushed over, curiously watching Cheng Yue cooking outside.
Guo Song took a piece of cherry meat handed over by Cheng Yue, took a bite, applauded loudly with a smile, and was so happy that he gave Cheng Yue several salutes, and shouted that he would be blessed from now on.
A large number of palace maids salivated when they smelled the fragrance, but it was impossible to eat it, so they could only swallow saliva while carrying various dishes to the palace.
The ministers in the palace were already very hungry, and when they saw that the food was finally brought from afar, they were even more anxious.
Zhang Shijie smelled a fresh fragrance and shouted: "What a fragrance!" Come on.?
Guo Song and another chamberlain personally brought a relatively large portion of the dish into the curtain and sent it to Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu.
Guo Song said with a smile: "Sage, the slave tasted a taste, but it is really delicious, the slave has never eaten such a delicious meal in most of his life, and the governor has put a lot of effort into it, please taste it." After speaking, he lifted the lid one by one.
At this time, Cheng Yue also sat down and waited for the two of them to eat first.
Xie Daoqing was already full of anticipation when he smelled the fragrance, and then he looked at all the dishes he had never seen before, and heard Guo Song say this, where did he have to wait, picked up the chopsticks, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cherry meat that looked the most festive, and put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Alas, it is soft and fragrant, sweet and sour, and there is a fresh fragrance, which is so delicious!
Xie Daoqing hurriedly picked up another piece and put it in his mouth, nodding his head constantly, his face glowing with excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Seeing this, Quan Jiu also picked up a piece, and after tasting it, he couldn't put down the chopsticks.
When the ministers saw it, the two saints didn't care about them, and they didn't know whether to eat or wait a little longer, so they were so anxious that they looked at each other.
Cheng Yue smiled, picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth, and said, "Gentlemen, please." ”
The ministers were stunned, Cheng Yue's move was already the head of the ministers. Looking at Liumengyan again, his face was expressionless, and he didn't speak, just froze there.
Cheng Yue's civil and military forces were different, they began to chew one after another, and now the other ministers were even more hungry.
Cheng Yue ignored them and ate by himself, he didn't care about these things at all.
Zhang Shijie and Sun Huchen glanced at each other, and also picked up chopsticks and began to eat.
As soon as they ate, the two of them stretched out their thumbs with surprise and excitedly compared them to Cheng Yue, Zhang Shijie laughed and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is amazing, we have grown so big, and we have never eaten such delicious dishes." ”
Cheng Yue smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Wen Tianxiang picked up the chopsticks and gestured to Lu Xiufu and the others: "Please." "I ate it too.
As soon as Wen Tianxiang ate it, his face immediately became happy, and he smiled and said to Cheng Yue: "How much is the MSG of the Metropolitan Governor?" Can I buy some? ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "When I send some to the house, how to use it in the church will be until the church." Isn't it embarrassing to use the word buy? ”
The two laughed.
What are the rest of the ministers waiting for, plus they are really hungry, except for the henchmen of the two Liuchen, they all moved their chopsticks. The admiration immediately ended, and even Su Liuyi nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Yizhong also picked up his chopsticks and smiled at Liu Mengyan: "Zhong Zhai Gong (Liu Mengyan's number), the meal made by the Metropolitan Governor himself, why not give face?" ”
Liu Mengyan's face changed slightly, and he also raised his chopsticks and said with a smile: "With Quan (Chen Yizhong's character), please, I heard that the craftsmanship of the Metropolitan Governor is good, let's try it together." ”
The two laughed and ate with their men.
The two of them are actually humiliating Cheng Yue with the cheap profession of cooking, which is the so-called gentleman who cooks far away. If someone else had changed, he would have been furious, but Cheng Yue didn't have this concept at all, but smiled: "Two Pingzhang, I made that cherry meat very tender, it is easy to eat, and it is easy to digest." I specially asked the waiter to serve more than the two Pingzhang, please use it slowly. ”
Seeing that Cheng Yue was not angry at all, the two took the initiative to introduce them to what was delicious, and took another look at them, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: This son is very human and generous. And it's really delicious.
Cheng Yue's dishes were not shared by everyone, except for Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu who gave the full amount, Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong also had a little more, and the other ministers ate it without a few bites, and the rest were only to eat the meals originally prepared in the palace. It's also good, but there really can't be compared to Cheng Yue's.
Lu Xiufu was full of praise and said: "The method of stir-frying vegetables by the Metropolitan Governor is wonderful in the world, but I hate not to eat it often." ”
Cheng Yue said: "Don't worry, I have a concubine and plan to open a few restaurants in Lin'an." It's already being renovated. When it opens in a few days, we invite all adults to come and cheer. I will teach her all the dishes I know. ”
The ministers were thinking that this dish was really not enough to eat, and it was not good to complain, but when they heard that they could still eat it later, they were all happy. The officials of the Song Dynasty were very rich, but they were worried that they could not find good things, and money was not a problem.
Liu Mengyan said with a smile: "In the past, Sima Xiangru Zhuo Wenjun was selling wine, and the existing governor of the capital asked the concubine to open a restaurant, and first tried the dishes for the ministers to publicize, so that they could shine before and after, and not let the ancients be in front of them." ”
All the ministers in the palace changed color slightly. Liu Mengyan scolded Cheng Yue in front of him again.
Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun deliberately went to Zhuo Wenjun's hometown to sell wine for a living because they were poor, and Zhuo Wenjun's father, Zhuo Wangsun, didn't want his daughter to show up, so he was forced to give them a lot of money. Liu Mengyan is ridiculing Cheng Yue for his cheap business and loss of identity. However, Liu Mengyan had a sentence that reminded the ministers. If Cheng Yue really advertises that his restaurant is going to open, the effect of this kind of publicity can't be greater, it's really high.
Cheng Yue ignored his provocation and said with a smile: "The amount of food is not much, because there is not enough monosodium glutamate, so you can only fry so much, and you can forgive your sins." As for opening a restaurant, I am very proud of her by eating with her own skills. Our family does not support idlers, everyone must be able to support themselves, and they must be able to take charge of themselves. As I said before, women can work as long as they want, whether at home or outside, as long as they abide by the law, I will never object to it. (To be continued......)
