Chapter Twenty-Three: It's Delicious

Wu Zetian's good word, of course, is not groundless.

You don't have any jokes, of course there can't be fake.

After this porridge is eaten, the first feeling is that it is extremely sweet, and flashy but not greasy, just a small bowl of rice porridge, no matter how rare it is, but when you eat it in your mouth, there is a feeling of lubrication and refreshing.

Wu Zetian usually eats porridge, there are as many as 1,600 people in charge of the food supply in the palace, the lineup is huge, and she usually eats a wide variety of porridge, but today's plain white porridge is always different.

And boiling porridge, in fact, the most test is the kung fu of fire, those imperial chefs do not know how to master the heat, everyone has their own set of experience, but Qin Shaoyou is different, cooking has become a science in later generations, in the food industry, even how much fire, what firewood to burn, there is accurate data support, to boil a pot of good porridge, there is any error, the taste will be very different.

Moreover, the water in which Qin Shaoyou boils porridge is broth, and the broth is boiled with large bones, and at the same time some shrimp and mushrooms are put in, and then the residue is removed, only its rich fragrance is taken, and then the rice is boiled.

Just like sweet milk, if adults eat, most of them don't feel unusual, but a baby who has only eaten the mother ru, this taste is very different, so many people have the impression that children are often delicious, what ∠▽, things can be eaten with relish, this is actually not delicious, but their sense of taste is more sensitive, and they have not tasted Baiwei, any new snack, is enough to make them salivate for a few days.

Therefore, the food industry must innovate at any time, because no matter how delicious things are, if you eat too much, it will gradually become boring, Qin Shaoyou's bowl of porridge looks bland, but this kind of taste is the first time for Wu Zetian, not to mention, his skills in making porridge are indeed exquisite, and after the first taste, it completely gives people a kind of deliciousness that subverts the sense of taste.

Wu Zetian was about to continue eating porridge, but Qin Shaoyou said: "Your Majesty, if you want to eat this porridge, you have to side dishes." ”

Women, in fact, have a delicious nature, even Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian became interested, and said, "What side dishes?" ”

Qin Shou, who was behind Qin Shaoyou, hurriedly brought out a stack of vegetables, which were black eggs with shells peeled.

This black egg is not big, it is the same as a bird's egg, but it is pitch black throughout, but there are many fine textures on the egg, which looks very special.

"What is this?"

"Quail eggs."

Wang An, the imperial chef on the side, saw that His Majesty also praised Qin Shaoyou, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, in fact, he knew that since His Majesty ate the porridge, he had already lost, although both of them got a good evaluation, but Qin Shaoyou made the most ordinary white porridge, and what he made was wishful soup, obviously he took advantage, who knew that this Qin Shaoyou made another egg, he was a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but say: "Since it is a quail egg, why is it dark all over?" ”

"Well...... this" Qin Shaoyou smiled, and then said something that made Wang An vomit blood: "Secret." ”

Wang An said: "You dare to give such a thing to Your Majesty?" ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "You can't eat it, I dare to present it to Junqian?" Your Majesty, this is the unique secret skill of the grass people, Your Majesty may wish to give it a try. ”

That Wang An still wanted to argue, but Wu Zetian just smiled and said, "Take it." ”

Wu Zetian is not like those ladies, he is wary of fresh affairs, he is not pretentious at all, he directly stretched out his thin fingers, picked up a small pine quail egg, first looked at it in his hand, saw that it was dark and bright, and there were white patterns on it, and there was a special aroma coming to her nose when she smelled it, and then, she put it directly into her mouth very atmospherically, chewed it carefully, first frowned, then smiled, and said: "Delicious." ”

There is another good word, only this time, there is one more to eat.

The source of this Songhua egg is the salted duck egg of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was only in the Ming Dynasty that Songhua eggs began to appear.

What's more, Wu Zetian just ate the sweet rice porridge, and then ate a bite of Songhua eggs, the taste of Songhua eggs became even stronger.

After Wu Zetian's appreciation, Qin Shaoyou looked twisted, and said very modestly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, in fact, the imperial chefs in the palace are all masters of cooking, and the grass people are just satisfying Your Majesty's freshness." ”

Originally, Wang An still wanted to criticize Qin Shaoyou, but who knew that Qin Shaoyou suddenly turned around and praised himself, which made him slightly stunned, if he made things difficult for Qin Shaoyou at this time, he would be a little bitter in front of His Majesty.

Wu Zetian was originally here, but he was just pretending, who knew that he really tasted unexpected food, and his mood improved: "I can't imagine that you, a young man in the market, know how to be humble, I really can't imagine it." She was in a beautiful wave, and finally began to take a look at Qin Shaoyou.

In fact, no matter how well Qin Shaoyou's porridge and eggs are made, he is just a cook, Wu Zetian just said that it is good, after all, no matter how good the cook's skills are, it is impossible to enter Wu Zetian's eyes. However, Qin Shaoyou's humble words were very consistent with the moral concepts of this era, so that Wu Zetian re-examined Qin Shaoyou.

This guy ...... was born quite handsome, at a young age, but there is a different kind of bookish atmosphere, not like he was born in the market, especially his eyes......

When Wu Zetian saw Qin Shaoyou's eyes, his interest increased, this guy's eyes seemed to have a depth that did not match his age, he was young and his mind was very heavy, which was a bit interesting.

The third time he was praised by Wu Zetian, Qin Shaoyou was not humble or silent, and deliberately did not answer Wu Zetian's words, but said with a smile: "Actually, speaking of which, this porridge still has a little origin." ”

Shangguan Wan'er watched from the sidelines and found that Qin Shaoyou, this guy, was not timid at all in front of the Son of Heaven, but talked eloquently, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, what kind of person she was, and immediately realized the key inside. Many people talk to the Son of Heaven, even if they are from a good background, they are often what His Majesty says, what he should do, and the initiative is in His Majesty's hands, so after saying a few words, His Majesty lost interest, and after explaining, he will be dismissed.

But this guy is not playing cards according to common sense, His Majesty praised him, he didn't follow the words, but instead led to the next topic, which not only requires guts, but also requires extremely careful thinking, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Qin Shaoyou carefully, and couldn't help thinking: "This guy ...... He is still underestimated, he is not only a chicken thief, but also has a deep mind, and he can't see through it. ”

Hearing Qin Shaoyou talk about the origin of the porridge, Wu Zetian naturally seemed interested, and couldn't help but say: "Oh, does the little rice porridge also have a history?" ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "The rice of this porridge is produced in Mengxi, which is in the suburbs of Shendu, and there is very little rice in the Jiangbei area, but Mengxi is crisscrossed by waterways. In fact, it was originally a wilderness, but in the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, when the first emperor was there, His Majesty once suggested that he should persuade Nongsang and Bo Fu. The first emperor played on the music, not only that, but the first emperor and His Majesty also went to Mengxi to reclaim a few acres of barren land. With the first emperor and His Majesty as an example, so the people rushed to gather here to open up the loose soil, only a few years, there has been created a hundred miles of fertile soil, the people of Shendu all say that the rice of Mengxi is better than the rice of Yangzhou, when the father is alive, to enter the ingredients, this rice is also only recognized Mengxi, other places, often the taste is worse. ”

Qin Shaoyou said the cause and effect, and did not forget to shake his head, his eloquence was good, his logic was clear, after a few words, his eyes gently glanced at Wu Zetian, and then his heart relaxed, because the corners of Wu Zetian's mouth were hooked, and there was a smile in his eyes.
