Chapter 177: The Right Way to Open the Crab
However, Nan Zhaoguo only paid tribute to crabs once or twice a year, and it was not enough to satisfy his appetite at all.
However, the climate of Dongshengguo cannot breed crabs, so it is necessary to rely on tribute to eat crabs every year.
Mo Huaichen once thought that if he became the emperor, he would definitely let the Nanzhao Kingdom be conquered, and let the Nanzhao Kingdom pay tribute to crabs all the time.
"You kid, why are you more greedy than Yi'er? The people who know also say that you are the son of the queen, and those who don't know still think that you are the son of Jiang Guifei. Well, if you want to eat it so much, let's do it. The mourning family also wants to taste the taste of this crab. ”
When everyone heard that they could eat it, they were so excited that they picked up the crab and were about to open the shell and gnaw it.
Lan Qianzhen saw that Mo Huaiqian was about to make a move, so he hurriedly took his share of the crab to his side.
Mo Huaiqing was stunned, thinking to himself what the situation was?
Lan Qianzhen didn't want him to eat crabs?
"Your Royal Highness, your lungs are not good, this crab is a cold thing, if it is not good for your body to eat, it is better to let the concubine do it for you."
Lan Qianzhen quickly entered the role, and the word concubine directly made Mo Huaizhen feel that he had caused himself a big trouble?
"Concubine Ai cares about the king's body, this king is very pleased, if the concubine likes these crabs, then the king will give it to the concubine."
Mo Huaiyu didn't say anything on his lips, but he was depressed to death in his heart.
If he hadn't played this role, I'm afraid that this crab would have already entered his belly.
"The younger brother and sister of the Third Emperor Brother seem a little domineering, but when I think of it, the third brother and sister are also thinking about the body of the Third Emperor Brother, so don't be angry with your younger brother and sister."
Mo Huaiyi hadn't noticed Lan Qianzhen much before, and when she saw her snatching Mo Huaizhen's crab, she realized that Lan Qianzhen was not a soft and weak woman.
And there seems to be a bit of interaction between her and Mo Huaiyu, and it seems that the two get along very harmoniously.
"Second Emperor Brother, what you said is not right, even if the third brother and sister think about the third emperor brother, but the crab is given to everyone by the imperial grandmother, if the third emperor brother does not eat it, won't he live up to the imperial grandmother's intentions?"
Mo Huaichen glanced at Mo Huaichen, since he was a child, he somehow looked at this younger brother very unpleasantly.
Especially this younger brother was deeply liked by the emperor before he was eight years old, and he was compared with everyone all the time.
As the eldest prince of Dongshengguo, he should have been the focus of training, but who knew that the emperor wanted to focus on cultivating Mo Huaiqing, if something didn't happen later, Mo Huaiqing ruined his appearance, and the emperor would not have set his sights on himself again.
It can be said that to a certain extent, Mo Huaiqi is more threatening than Mo Huaiyi.
Although his body is inferior to the others, his head is smarter than the others.
This was also the reason why the Emperor planned to let him go to the Lingyuan Continent.
"Chen'er, Qi'er is unwell, and it is reasonable for this girl Qianzhen to care about him. Since Qi'er's body is not suitable for eating crabs, let people make the next dish, so that Qi'er will not always watch others eat crabs. ”
The emperor is very aware of Mo Huaiqi's current physical condition, and he also hates the people who set fire to the palace back then, if it wasn't for the original thing, Mo Huaiqing would not have become what he is now.
All of this was caused by the person who set the fire in the first place.
But he couldn't find the person who set the fire in the first place.
The emperor was thinking about things in his heart, and he didn't know that Lan Qianzhen listened to his words and inexplicably felt a bit of a heart-piercing taste?
Looking at Mo Huaiqing on the side again, he had already stood up and thanked the emperor.
When the second dish came up, Mo Huaiyu could only watch others eat crabs and drink soup with a suffocated face.
Compared to the scene where the ministers caught crabs with their bare hands, Lan Qianzhen asked the maid who was waiting on the side to bring her scissors.
As soon as they heard that Lan Qianzhen was going to take scissors, everyone present didn't know what Lan Qianzhen was going to do.
It wasn't until Lan Qianzhen took the scissors to cut off the crab's feet, removed the joints, and pushed the meat out with chopsticks that everyone knew that this was the correct way to open the crab.
Compared to the miserable way of biting with teeth in other people's eyes, Lan Qianji's behavior was much more elegant.
Lan Qianzhen didn't eat the crab meat as soon as she pushed it out, but put it in the bowl in front of Mo Huaizhen with the sauce she had prepared.
Mo Huaiqing raised her eyebrows, didn't this girl say that she wouldn't give him food?
What about now?
"Lord Wang, crabs are cold, but with this sauce, the taste is not ordinary, it won't hurt your lungs, you can taste it."
Lan Qianzhen said with a smile while everyone else waited to see what it would be like for Mo Huaizhen to eat the crab with the sauce.
Mo Huaizhen picked up the crab legs and released them into his mouth in the eyes of everyone, and the taste of sauce filled his mouth in an instant, this taste ......
Mo Huaiqing couldn't help but cough.
"Lan Qianzhen, what did you eat for the Third Emperor Brother?"
Mo Huaichen couldn't help jumping up when he saw Mo Huaichen coughing.
"His Royal Highness King Chen doesn't need to worry, His Royal Highness King Yu is just not used to this taste for a while, if you don't believe it, you can ask His Royal Highness King Chen, is he satisfied with the sauce of the courtier?"
Lan Qianzhen looked at Mo Huaizhen with a smile.
"Brother Huang, don't be nervous, this sauce is really good, sweet and sour, with this crab, it tastes really good."
Mo Huaizhen had tasted Lan Qianji's craftsmanship before, and he really didn't blow it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the chef of Tianji Restaurant learn the craft from Lan Qianji.
"Yu'er, you said that the sauce made by Qianzhen girl is good? Then get me a copy too, and I want to taste it. ”
The emperor ate crabs in previous years, after all, this thing will only be brought from Nanzhao once a year, and the chef of Dongshengguo has never seen this thing before, and he doesn't know how to make it delicious, for fear that he will be beheaded if he doesn't do it well, so this crab is steamed and sent up.
The emperor thought that this was the way to eat in Nanshao Kingdom, and Jiang Guifei, a native of Nanzhao Kingdom, had always eaten crabs like this, so the emperor had no other ideas.
I didn't expect that today's new daughter-in-law, Mo Huaiqing, would have such a practice, which made the emperor can't help but want to taste it.
And seeing that Lan Qianzhen has a certain understanding of crabs, I don't know where she learned about the practice of this crab, which made the emperor a little curious.
"Your Majesty, this sauce is very easy to make, you only need to mash the garlic, add white rice vinegar, sugar and green onions, and coriander."
Lan Qianzhen thought that the people of Dongshengguo really didn't have any research on eating, and such a simple combination was not even available in their country.
It really makes people feel that the people of this country are either living in an era of recklessness or an era of lack of materials.
But Dongshengguo is really not these two eras.
"Come on, immediately ask the imperial chef to prepare the sauce according to what the lord of Qianzhen said."
The emperor couldn't wait to taste this sauce, but the empress who was beside the emperor said at this time, "Your Majesty, this Qianqi County Lord is really Bingxue smart, and he actually knows this way of eating, I don't know where the Qianqi County Lord heard about it." ”
