Chapter 49: The Crisis Lurks 2
When it was dark, Chang Mao took Shen Yue to hide in a remote military tent in the camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Brother Shen, the chicken has been stewed in advance, just waiting for you to put the potatoes in the pot." Chang Mao Monkey urged anxiously, swallowing his saliva with a dazzled smile, after all, there were only two potatoes, not enough for a few people to eat Shen Yue's afternoon and explain to him, catch two pheasants, and pick some wild mountain mushrooms.
Of course, Chang Mao didn't know how to cook, it was Pinglan and Shen Xiangyun who had already helped in the tent, and the two daughters sat around a small stove, and the casserole on the fire was gurgling, exuding an attractive fragrance.
Lift the lid, the chicken has already been stewed, add the potatoes, and a pot of fragrant potato chicken stewed mushrooms can be out of the pot, and it will drool when you think about it.
Shen Yue hurriedly took out the potatoes, washed them, peeled them, cut them into pieces, passed them through water, and poured them into the pot.
After a stick of incense, the potatoes in the casserole were already stewed golden, and a thick aroma emanated, Shen Yue stopped the spoon that Chang Mao was about to reach into, grabbed a handful of wild onions and threw them in, sprinkled with some fine salt, and stirred a few times. Scoop a piece of potato with a spoon and blow it to cool and bring it to Pinglan's mouth.
"It's delicious, soft and fragrant. Sister Xiangyun also tasted it. Pinglan said happily, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her little hand, as if she was afraid that this delicacy would run out.
Chang Mao scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, but he was also embarrassed to compete with the two little girls.
Shen Yue thought that he was so busy, he couldn't just let Chang Mao take advantage, the more people could taste the benefits of this potato, so he said to the second daughter,
"You two bring a bowl to your stepfather to taste, he is not in good health, this dish is just to replenish his body."
Pinglan had already prepared, took out a food box from behind him with a smile, and carefully took out a large bowl, Chang Mao's heart hurt when he saw it, and he hurriedly urged,
"It's full, send it quickly."
After sending away the two little ancestors, Chang Mao didn't care about any etiquette, scooped out a big spoonful of potato and chicken nuggets, swallowed the hot straight feet, but was reluctant to spit out, the potatoes melted soft and fragrant in the mouth, and soaked in chicken soup, which was really delicious in the world.
"Green ants are freshly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? The two of you are really interested, I smelled the fragrance in the middle of the camp, I didn't expect that the cooking skills in this army are more fragrant than the food cooked by the palace kitchen, how about adding me? ”
Suddenly, the door curtain opened, but it was Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, who walked in with a pot of wine.
"Your Royal Highness is polite, I don't know any poetry and writing, but you know the imperial wine in the palace, come and sit down and taste this auspicious potato." Chang Mao laughed and stepped forward to take the wine jug, this Zhu Su didn't pay attention to the majesty of the prince, sat down by the stove with a big thorn, took the spoon handed by Shen Yue, and tasted it in a big gulp.
"Good taste, worthy of my Da Ming Xiangrui, compared with the pearl jade and white jade soup praised by my father, it is indeed a good food, full and anti-hunger, the yield is extremely high, and it is not picky, Brother Shen really made a great contribution to the court." Zhu Su shook his head and praised, although he said Sven, the spoon in his hand kept scooping into the pot.
Just when the three of you took a bite and I forgot to eat in one bite, I didn't notice that there was another person standing behind me.
"My brother's nose is pointy, brother, it took me a long time to find here, and I didn't even call me a word if there was food." Zhu Di patted Zhu Su's head and smiled.
Seeing that it was King Yan coming, Chang Mao wiped his mouth embarrassedly, he chose such a remote place because Zhu Di ordered not to taste potatoes during the day, but he didn't expect to be discovered by him.
"His Royal Highness King Yan forgive me, this potato was found in the land that was harvested, and I blamed my greed for a while, and I begged Brother Shen to make it."
Zhu Di smiled and patted Chang Mao's shoulder,
"If you use your ghost eyes for more state affairs, sit down, the lonely king is not unsympathetic, if there are enough auspicious rui, why don't you want all the soldiers to taste this delicacy, you are fighting bloody for the Ming Dynasty, even the lonely king is willing to cook for you personally. Today's mistakes will not be investigated, Lone also wants to taste it, learn the craftsmanship of Brother Shen, and wait for the next year's harvest to make the soldiers eat enough. ”
Shen Yue saw that Chang Mao was so moved that he squeezed out a few tears, although he was not very comfortable with Zhu Di's performance of buying people's hearts, he had to cooperate and took a spoon and held it to Zhu Di with both hands, Zhu Di also dug a big spoon in the pot, blew it cold, and tasted it one bite at a time.
"It is indeed a rare delicacy in the world, with these high-yield crops, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will surely flourish." Zhu Di put down the spoon and looked at Shen Yue with his wine glass, "Brother Shen can make this crude potato so delicious, and his cooking skills are also good. ”
Shen Yue saw that Zhu Di suddenly changed the topic, and his heart became uneasy. Chinese people have always liked to talk about some serious things at dinner, and test each other through alcohol. originally thought that Zhu Di would announce his arrangements for himself after the daytime sacrifice, but he didn't expect that he would wait until now to knock on the hint.
How can he not hear the meaning of his words, but in the face of such an opportunity to ascend to the sky, Shen Yue did not dare to accept it rashly, although he wanted to use the treasure to lean on the big tree of the imperial court, but only for people like Mu Ying and Chang Mao, he could still make friends with confidence, for a scheming person like Zhu Di, he did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, and he would not let him handle it in the future.
"Your Royal Highness has a good reputation, the so-called gentleman is far away from cooking, but he is a little greedy, where do you know how to govern the country, but you have also eaten some experience along the way, dare to ask Your Highness what is the best thing in this world?" Shen Yue also raised his wine glass and asked with a smile.
Zhu Di saw that he avoided answering, but asked the question instead, the wine glass stopped between his lips, and his eyebrows were silent.
Chang Mao couldn't help but ask anxiously: "We have eaten countless meals over the years, and we don't dare to say that we have tasted all the delicious foods in the world. ”
"The world's most flavorful, the only bowl of Anle tea and rice." Shen Yue drank the wine glass and looked at the pensive Zhu Di.
"A good bowl of Anle tea and rice is indeed full of the bitter and sweet of the world." Zhu Su clapped his hands, lifted the wine jug, and drank directly with his head up.
"It's good that Brother Shen can have this feeling, I hope that the people of the world will be able to eat this peaceful tea and rice one day, but now my father is unable to sleep and eat because of the illness of the queen mother, I heard that Brother Shen has the art of living people, and this time I was sent here to order you to take you back to the capital to help diagnose and treat." Zhu Di heard Shen Yue's euphemistic refusal, but he was still unwilling.
Alas, I still can't hide from it, Shen Yue complained in his heart, he is only a little familiar with medical skills, where can he treat people, even if the potion soaked in the Holy Fire Order is more than sure to be able to save the dying person, but this Zhu Yuanzhang's order cannot be disobeyed, otherwise he will lose his head now. And he had already formed a feud with Hu Weiyong before, and Emperor Tiangao here was far from Mu Ying and Zhu Di, but when he arrived in the court, it was his home field.
"Although there is a little medical skills in the next, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the queen's illness needs some strange medicine may be able to be treated, I plan to go south to search in a few days, and please let His Royal Highness tolerate some time, and wait for the early spring of next year, everything will grow, it is the best time for treatment, I will definitely go to the capital to treat the queen."
Shen Yue's heart can be delayed, in history, Hu Weiyong will be taken down by Zhu Yuanzhang in the first month of next year, so that there will be no threat, and he can't guarantee that he can collect all five holy flame orders, cross in advance, save trouble, even if it doesn't work, buy some time, find a good doctor and good medicine to deal with.
"Since this is the case, it is not difficult for the lonely king to ask my father for a period of grace for you, and then wait until next year, and we will meet again in the capital." Finally made some progress, Zhu Di's brows furrowed, and it was not easy to force a very defensive character like Shen Yue, and he couldn't help it when he arrived in the capital.
The tense atmosphere in the tent relaxed again, but most of the pot of potatoes and chicken stewed mushrooms had been eaten by Zhu Su and Chang Mao, and even the soup was not left, so the four of them had to pick up their wine glasses and drink happily.
Suddenly, a loud bang came, shaking the tent swaying, Chang Mao got up, drew his knife and opened the tent curtain, but saw a sky-high flame in the direction of the big tent in the camp, countless debris with flames flying all over the sky, and a wail came.
