"The minister has seen the emperor!" Jingwen saluted Li Shimin and said.

"Excuse me!" Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin saw Jingwen and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Li Shimin didn't know why, he was very interested in Jingwen, a little chef. If another chef asks to see him, he may not summon him. But now that Jingwen asked to see him again, Li Shimin quickly agreed without thinking about it. Li Shimin doesn't know why, maybe it's just that this little chef is more special!

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have been on fire recently, right?" Jingwen asked.

"Yes!" Li Shimin replied, this is not a secret, anyway, many people in the palace know about it.

Jingwen immediately looked guilty and said, "Your Majesty, it's the minister's fault." The emperor, if it weren't for the ministers who made instant noodles, they wouldn't have made the emperor love to eat so much. If it weren't for the emperor's love of food so much, it wouldn't be because instant noodles were on fire. ”

"Come on, I don't blame you, and you don't have to plead guilty." Li Shimin's grievances are still relatively clear, because he can't help the ** of instant noodles, a new city food, and he eats a lot more as a result. Now that it's on fire, Li Shimin can't blame Jingwen!

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the emperor is on fire, so I specially made a new type of food and came to pay tribute to the emperor. Your Majesty, this is turtle jelly, which is a kind of medicinal food. Turtle Ling paste can have the effect of clearing heat, removing fire and pulling out poison, and it is a rare good medicinal diet. Although the turtle jelly is a little bitter, the minister specially used goat's milk and honey to make honey milk, and invited the emperor to enjoy it. Jingwen said.

Li Shimin looked at the turtle jelly in the bowl like black crystals, and he couldn't bear to swallow it. Because this turtle Ling paste zuò is really good, crystal clear, like black crystals. Li Shimin had never seen such a good-looking medicinal diet, which made him feel a little pity.

"Your Majesty, please enjoy it slowly." Jingwen said.

Li Shimin slowly picked up a piece of turtle jelly with a spoon and put it in his mouth to taste it slowly. After a while, Li Shimin smiled.

"Yes, although there is a slight bitter feeling when you taste it carefully, but under the harmony of milk and honey, you don't feel anything at all. On the contrary, the feeling of mixing milk and honey is very good. What is this made of? Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen immediately reported: "Your Majesty, since this thing is called Turtle Ling Paste, it is made of turtle plate and Poria cocos, so it is called Turtle Ling Paste." ”

"Is there any other benefit to this turtle jelly?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, this turtle jelly can be taken when the weather is hot and the heat is heavy, so that it can reduce the heat and make the whole body comfortable. What's more, this turtle jelly is delicious, not as unpalatable as the Chinese medicine soup prescribed by the imperial doctor. Jingwen said.

Li Shimin also thinks so, because those Chinese medicine soups are not delicious! Since ancient times, few people would like to eat Chinese herbal soup because this important soup is too bitter. Although this turtle jelly also has a bit of a bitter taste, it is not strict. What's more, this turtle jelly can be taken with honey as a dessert, and you can eat it when you want to, not to be so particular about Chinese herbal soup.

"Go and call the Queen!" Li Shimin said to a eunuch next to him.

Not long after, the queen also came and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the matter with you calling this palace over?" ”

"Guanyin, that little cook made a good thing again today, it's very good!" Li Shimin said.

"Hmph, what did that little cook do again? Last time, I made an instant noodle, which made the emperor angry. Your Majesty, the concubines have already sent someone to apply for them on your behalf. How dare they be, what else did they come up with? Do these little chefs dare to ignore us like this? Empress Eldest Sun said a little unhappily.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Guanyin, what do you think this is?" It's not something that gets hot, it's not bad, you can try it too. ”

Li Shimin picked up another bowl of turtle jelly and handed it to Empress Changsun, who was a little surprised when she looked at this turtle jelly like a black crystal. It's not easy to make food so exquisite! Moreover, this kind of food is still a mass-produced food, which is even more rare.

"Just look at this appearance, it's not bad." Empress Eldest Sun whispered.

Jingwen was speechless, the turtle jelly he worked so hard to make, but he just got a good evaluation?

"Queen Mother, this turtle jelly has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing beauty, and the queen mother can eat more appropriately. Just don't eat it when the woman's monthly menstrual period comes, and don't eat it when the body is weak. Now, this season, you can eat more appropriately. Moreover, these turtle jelly creams have also been chilled in our imperial dining room, and the taste has been taken to the next level, and the queen mother is invited to enjoy it slowly. Jingwen said.

"You're a little chef, and you understand medicinal diets? For the sake of being so sensible, I won't do anything about your imperial dining room this time. However, in the future, you can make more delicious food, such as this turtle jelly. Empress Eldest Sun said.

"Definitely, definitely!" Jingwen hurriedly said.

After Li Shimin and Empress Changsun finished eating the two bowls of turtle jelly, Li Shimin asked, "Little chef Jingwen, how are you going to let me reward you?" Last time you made instant noodles, I haven't rewarded you yet! This time I made turtle jelly again, how are you going to let me reward you? ”

Jingwen secretly thought in his heart what reward he wanted. Jingwen wants to curry favor with Li Shimin, so that he can get benefits! As a courtier, he can only curry favor with the emperor and gain power, and this is the way to development. However, when the good emperor asks you what you want, then take it easy. If you want to score too many points, then I'm afraid you will offend the emperor. But you can't let the emperor feel indebted to you for a long time. If the emperor has a sense of indebtedness to someone for a long time, then I am afraid that the disaster of that person is coming, and the so-called high merit is not rewarded.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants you to let me cook for you, and the minister is willing to be your royal chef." Jingwen said.

"Aren't you the Imperial Chef now?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, I am thinking of the kind of chef who specializes in cooking at your orders, not other kind of imperial chef. I will only use it to cook under your orders, and I will not use it as a royal cook at other times. Jingwen said.

"Okay, I'll meet your requirements." Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin thought that Jingwen just wanted to be lazy, so he said this reason, anyway, there was no shortage of idlers in the palace, so let him lead the establishment to get wages. Anyway, Jingwen recently transferred more than 20,000 yuan in dividends to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin is not short of money for the time being.
