Chapter 983: Improving Hot Pot
Kublai Khan and Zhenjin saw it in their eyes, and they both had indescribable feelings in their hearts, but they were different. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Kublai Khan lamented that Dehuan was more practical than before, but Zhenjin was even more surprised by Dehuan's obedience to Cheng Yue.
Kudu Lujian was lost, and he became more and more in awe of Cheng Yue. It seems that every time she sees Cheng Yue, Cheng Yue's authority increases. Wang Yu confessed to her before leaving, she didn't dare to mention it until now, as long as Cheng Yue was still in the court, she could only put these things in her stomach and continue to wait for the opportunity.
At noon, Kublai Khan gave a banquet in the grand banquet hall, and after everyone was seated, he thought that Cheng Yue would also bring out the barbecue. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yue actually took out more than a dozen strangely shaped pots!
The pot is made of red copper, with an opening in the middle and a circle around the perimeter, which looks exquisite, but I don't know how to use it.
When everyone was looking at each other, Cheng Yue smiled and said: "Great Khan, what about this thing, it's nothing else, it's a hot pot invented by Mongolia." The minister redesigned it and improved it to look like this, which is more practical. ”
When it comes to hot pot, it is really an invention of the Mongols, which originated from an unknown battle. At that time, the Mongol army was halfway through the march, hungry and rumbling to make lunch, and when the enemy army was attacking, the cooks did not have time to cook slowly, so they simply poured hot water into the helmet, and then cut the large pieces of meat into slices and threw them into it to cook, add a little salt, and quickly let the soldiers eat enough to go to the battlefield. Unexpectedly, this practice was very popular, so there was such a thing as hot pot. However, Mongolia's hot pot fashion is very simple, and Cheng Yue made a simple hot pot in later generations.
When Kublai Khan heard that it was hot pot, he was very interested. As soon as Cheng Yue clapped his hands, a plate of sauce was delivered to everyone. Immediately afterwards, a variety of prepared meat and a small amount of seafood filled the huge rectangular table, and the charcoal fire burned in advance immediately heated the hot pot.
Everyone knows how to eat, so several people gathered around a hot pot, feasting with great interest, and eating happily one by one.
Kublai Khan also ate a mouthful of fragrant food, and the lamb that Cheng Yue specially selected for him was swept away, and several large plates of Kublai Khan were connected before he was satisfied. Kublai Khan patted his bulging belly and sighed with emotion: "Cheng Yue, I have gained weight again in the past year, where did you get so many delicious things?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "As long as the Great Khan likes it, the minister will continue to do it." ”
Kublai Khan laughed and said, "I've feasted on it, and your hot pot recipe will also be passed on to the kitchen in the palace, and I will eat it often in the future." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Yes, the minister will teach him immediately, and the recipe for the seasoning will also be left." ”
Kublai Khan was even happier, and after eating, he pulled Cheng Yue to play mahjong with him.
Cheng Yue didn't refuse, but suddenly took out a letter from his arms and said, "Great Khan, the minister has a copy." ”
Kublai Khan was so angry that he couldn't help but stare and said, "Can you let me go during the New Year?" Do you still understand the rules one after another? ”
Cheng Yue grinned and said: "Great Khan, this is the third plea for marriage by the minister, today is the day to celebrate the reunion, the Great Khan agreed to the minister's request for marriage, isn't it another good story?" ”
When Kublai Khan heard that it was an excerpt for marriage, he turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile in his hand: "Originally, this excerpt must be played above the court, but what you just said is also reasonable, I will make an exception and allow you today!" ”
Nangjiazhen was overjoyed when he heard this, ran over and hugged Kublai Khan's neck, and said with a smile: "Thank you father Khan for the marriage!" ”
Cheng Yue also smiled: "Thank you again, Father Khan." ”
There was a sudden sound of congratulations in the villa, Kuo Kuolun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was thinking about how to celebrate, when fireworks were lit outside!
This time, the fireworks did not have the pomp and circumstance of the New Year, mainly considering that it is not easy to prevent fire around. Even so, Kublai Khan was very satisfied with Cheng Yue's arrangement, and even praised his ingenuity!
Cheng Yue and Nang Jiazhen's marriage was decided, and the palace and the king of Zhennan began to be busy. The year is over, and the entire Dayuan court has started to move again.
Cheng Yue personally came to the door and asked Ahma and Ah Shu to bring double portions of sugar and tea to the palace for him. Kublai Khan also returned to the palace, presided over the marriage, and officially agreed to marry Nangjiazhen, and Kutoulun was also the master of the palace and married Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan.
After Cheng Yue received the will of the palace, he beat gongs and drums to send Kutoulon into the palace, temporarily lived with Empress Talahai, and waited for him to greet his relatives.
Talahai is simple-minded, and Kutoulon is also solemn, and he has no heart to turn around, so he is even favored by Talahai. The two got along for a few days, and soon became as close as a real mother and daughter. Talahai even took out a few treasures that he had treasured, and insisted on accepting them from Toulon as her dowry.
Although Kutolun is only the side concubine of King Zhennan in name, she is highly respected in the palace, and now with the blessing of Queen Talahai, the concubines and palace maids who can't get close to Kutolun in the palace come to curry favor with Kutoulon. For a while, Toulon was very popular in the palace, and the care and preferential treatment he received were not inferior to those of Nangjiazhen.
Talahai was also very pleased. She has no children, and she dreams of experiencing the feeling of being a mother, but who knows that today she finally fulfilled her wish by relying on Cheng Yue and Ku Toulon.
Cheng Yue deliberately delayed for a few days, and did not make up his mind in a hurry, just to get along with Toulon and Talahai.
Li Jushou secretly passed the news to Cheng Yue, on the nineteenth day of the first month, it was Changchun Qiu Zhenren's Christmas, Kublai Khan specially recruited Li Jushou to the Xiangshan villa to preach, and stayed Li Jushou until the evening, very happy, and asked him to go the next day, I don't know when to talk about it.
Cheng Yue was secretly happy, and sent a secret letter to Li Jushou to persuade him first, waiting for the opportunity.
On this day, Cheng Yue personally drove a car, holding a double portion of sheep five forks, mare's milk wine and Hada, escorted by 500 guards all the way to the palace to make a decision.
When Cheng Yue made his decision last time, almost everyone in the palace and the guards who greeted him got a piece of gold leaf, this time it was the last time, Kublai Khan had no princess anymore, the palace people and the guards had already been red-eyed, and when they learned that Cheng Yue was coming, they were densely packed in the palace gate.
The palace also opened the palace door as usual, and when Cheng Yue arrived outside the palace gate, he immediately saw the layers of human heads inside, crowded and impassable, and he couldn't help laughing at that time.
Fortunately, he came prepared this time, and there was a box in the carriage, which was full of layers of gold leaves. Cheng Yue has been the head of the palace for a month, and he can also take this opportunity to comfort the palace people and the guards.
