CHAPTER IX
Mingyu Palace.
Before the eldest princess entered the Mingyu Palace, she heard the sound of Mocha and Wang Meiren frolicking from a distance.
"Sister Wang, on my side in the evening, I have prepared a lot of delicacies, and when the time comes, I can just call Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to join us."
"I'm sorry, I've received so many gifts from Cha Cha recently?"
Mo Cha: "What's this, how boring I am here without you!" That's it. ”
When the eldest princess went in, she heard this, and she asked, "Oh, what is the decision?" ”
Mo Cha looked back in surprise, and trotted over with a flushed face, "Meet Your Highness, didn't Shui Yue say that you still have a while?" ”
The eldest princess took Mocha's hand, and then said, "It's hard to come over in advance from this palace, and you're not happy." ”
Mo Cha hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, Cha Cha is very happy, then ask them to prepare the ingredients that will be made later." ”
After saying that, he went to the kitchenette.
Leaving Wang Meiren and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess staring wide-eyed.
"The concubine visits His Highness."
"No courtesy."
Wang Meiren was obviously a little restrained, but she still led the eldest princess to the dining room.
This side of the kitchenette.
"It's still spring, is it better to eat grilled fish or hot pot and barbecue?" Mocha looked at the things on the stove.
Shui Yue and Shui Hua stood next to them, although they didn't know what their nobles were talking about, but they all knew that it must taste good.
After thinking about it for a long time and still not deciding what to do, she hurriedly walked over and asked the other two what they thought.
Seeing Mocha asking what to eat, Wang Meiren and the eldest princess were both confused, and they had never heard of these.
The eldest princess curiously asked about the practices of these three, and learned that she had only eaten hot pot, but it was not called hot pot, but pot.
"Why don't you try the barbecue you said today?" The eldest princess proposed.
"Okay, then the concubine will go and prepare the secret seasoning first."
"Secret spice?"
Mo Cha: "That's right, it's a concubine's homemade seasoning, I used to read the book at home, the recipe written on it, tried to improve it, and found that it has a unique flavor, wait for His Highness to know." "After that, I'll go and prepare things first.
"I can't see that Chacha is really a big ghost and a smart one, but this cleverness is overused in eating." The eldest princess seemed to say to Wang Meiren unintentionally.
Wang Meiren was a little flattered and replied, "But it is precisely because Chacha is simple and immature in her heart, and she loves to eat, so she has her own uniqueness in terms of food." ”
The eldest princess saw that Wang Meiren did not follow her words, but directly said that Mocha has a simple hobby, she nodded with satisfaction, it seems that this Wang Meiren really has no other complicated thoughts.
And what about Mocha?
Standing in the supermarket, flipping through condiments: chicken essence powder, oyster sauce, cumin powder, Sichuan pepper powder, barbecue sauce. Swap these into the jars and jars in the kitchen, and then go out.
I saw things that people had prepared: cabbage, pork belly, chicken, sweet potatoes, lotus root slices, tofu, mutton, two small fish, mushrooms, and chicken skin, chicken wings and wing tips that I had told them to prepare.
Mo Cha sighed in his heart, there are no potatoes here, there is no gluten, and there are many things, which is really a simple version of barbecue.
Then they had the barbecue grill they had made by the craftsmen ready, as well as charcoal.
After the preparation was finally completed, Mo Cha's little face was also rubbed with charcoal, and the black carbon ash was on the nose and both sides of the cheeks, looking a little naughty and cute.
Mocha walked out all the way, feeling puzzled, why Shui Yue and the others were smiling like flowers, even if they wanted to eat barbecue, they didn't have to be so excited.
"Hahaha, where did this little flower cat come from, let Bengong take a look." The eldest princess smiled when she saw Mocha's little face.
Mo Cha felt inexplicable, and looked at Wang Meiren, and even Wang Meiren couldn't help laughing.
Mocha: "??? ”
After laughing, the eldest princess took out a handkerchief and pulled the ink tea and gently wiped her clean.
Mo Cha reacted when he saw the white handkerchief slowly turning black, and then suddenly his little face turned red and shy, and he said embarrassedly, "The concubine has lost her manners, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me." ”
After finally wiping it clean, it was white and clean again, and the eldest princess whispered, "It's okay, your things are ready." ”
Speaking of things, her eyes immediately sparkled and said, "Well, the concubine has already asked them to spread things in the courtyard." ”
The eldest princess was curious, "How can it be in the courtyard?" ”
"Because the barbecue smells big and there are so many kinds of things, so let's grill it outside!" Mocha replied.
"It's so interesting, let's take the main palace to see it."
"Okay, Your Highness and Sister Wang will go this way."
When I came to the atrium of Mingyu Palace, there was a lawn, and all the things that Mo Cha had prepared in advance had been arranged.
When Wang Meiren and the eldest princess saw that the ingredients were still raw, they both looked at Mocha.
Receiving the inquiry from the eyes, the ink tea said, "This is to wait and eat while roasting, I have already asked someone to prepare to drink, there is fruit tea, this fruit tea has a new taste!" And a little bit of fruit wine. ”
Hearing Mo Cha's explanation, the two of them understood.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Mo Cha asked someone to light the candles, and the surroundings lit up instantly, and then Mo Cha put things on and roasted them first, and taught Shui Yue and the others to brush oil and spices.
Mo Cha thought about it and asked someone to invite the emperor, anyway, he had already called him, and it was his business whether he came or not.
Seeing Mocha's move, the eldest princess asked her with a smile, "Why do you want to call the emperor over?" ”
Mo Cha suddenly pulled down his small face, and said with a little distress, "I promised Your Majesty something good to give him a copy." ”
Wang Meiren didn't react much, she knew what had happened.
The eldest princess felt incredible, and her eyes rolled and chuckled.
The Imperial Study.
Gonggong An said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the noble people have sent a message over there and asked you to go and eat barbecue." ”
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, who had been watching the excerpt for an afternoon, heard that Mocha asked him to go to dinner, and immediately closed the fold.
"What is a barbecue?"
Hearing the emperor ask himself like this, Father-in-law An was very helpless, and he didn't know what barbecue was.
"This may be a newly made meal made by the noble people."
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty put his hands behind his back and said, "Swing the Ming Jade Palace." ”
After knowing that the emperor was coming, Mocha said that she was happy, but she was reluctant, and she couldn't put it on her face, if the other concubines knew that Mocha would probably want to pinch her.
As soon as Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty came in, he saw a novel stove with a shelf on it, and the ingredients were placed on it.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor, and concubines participate in the emperor."
"It's all free of courtesy."
After Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty took his seat, he saw the ink tea skillfully turning over the food, brushing a layer of sauce on it, and the taste came from the surface.
The ink tea was roasted first, put it on a large plate, and served it.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was the first to take a bite of roasted lotus root slices with chopsticks, "The taste is good, the texture is crispy, my aunt will also try it." ”
Mo Cha also sat down, and saw that the eldest princess and the emperor had already started the first plate, so she and Wang Meiren ate the second plate.
"Well, it tastes good, but it's almost chili." I tried the ink tea, sprinkled the chili noodles on the side and dipped it.
Wang Meiren also followed her example and dipped it, "Well, it's spicy, but it's delicious." I took a sip of fruit tea spicy, and my eyes were shining, as if I had opened up some new world.
The eldest princess and Ming Xuan, who were sitting next to her, also asked for some chili peppers, and the eldest princess felt that the taste was on the next level, and she was very happy while drinking wine and skewers.
The emperor felt that it was too spicy, tasted it and drank a lot of tea, noticing this situation, Mocha took out honey and brushed it on the chicken that was being turned over and roasted, it looked fresh and green, fragrant, and other people also smelled it and stared at her.
After finally roasting the chicken under pressure, the ink tea was served on the table.
A few people took a look, and then started a few pieces, completely lacking the reserve at the beginning.
"Smooth and tender, juicy."
"The lips and teeth are fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless."
"The color and taste are good, and the aftertaste is long."
Mocha heard that Emperor Ming Xuan and the eldest princess were eating, and they also made comments. And all she could say was, "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious." "However, she has no culture, thinking of modern funny jokes: she is not educated, and she walks the world in a slump.
Thinking of this, Mocha didn't hold back and laughed.
Attracting the attention of the three of them, Mocha explained that she laughed because it tasted delicious.
……
It was getting late, Emperor Ming Xuan felt that his stomach was already a little amplitude, he stopped his chopsticks, took a sip of fruit wine, and then excused himself to deal with the twists and turns, and Shi Shiran left.
And the eldest princess also went back after the emperor left.
Only Wang Meiren and Mocha were left to clean up the battlefield.
Litang Palace.
"You mean that the emperor and the eldest princess are all dining at the nobles." The concubine lying on the couch on her side said.
"Hui Niangniang, this matter is true."
The concubine didn't speak for a long time, but there was an unknown meaning in her eyes.
"Continue to stare at the Mingyu Palace," the concubine waved her hand after speaking, and the man stepped back.
"Noble man, ink tea." She read the name of Mocha carefully, with a chill in the silent palace.
