The pot in front of him in the blue coarse porcelain basin was the mutton pilaf made by the chef just now, Hua Mian picked up the spoon and tasted it, turned his head and asked the attendant who was about to leave: "Excuse me, what is this ......?"

The attendant still had work to do, and was in a hurry to leave, and when he heard that he was stopped, he looked back and replied, "It's delicious!" This is our big brother Nie's specialty."

"Brother Nie?" , Hearing the other party suddenly say such a person, Hua Mian didn't react for a while.

Xiao Cui next door immediately reminded in a low voice: "It's the person in charge of the kitchen of the City Guard Mansion, the one who brought us in just now."

"Oh... Of course I remember...", Hua Mian replied while thinking that he seemed to be patronizing to see the living situation here, probably the other party introduced himself when he complained about the bed board in his heart.

However, that Brother Nie, although people look at the roughness of northerners everywhere, the craftsmanship of cooking is real, and the most important thing is ......

"Where does the spiciness on the lamb come from? Do you have chili peppers here? ”

The attendant was puzzled, "Chili? What is that? ”

Hua Mian reacted that the name of the chili pepper in this world seems to be different, "Red Horn, a small red fruit, passed down from Xiyao Kingdom"

The attendant shook his head and said, "Isn't the red fruit sweet?" Brother Nie often uses it to make dim sum, what kind of spicy flavor is it? Never heard of it."

"Then the flavor in this lamb pilaf ......", if it's not chili, what other condiment has such an obvious spicy taste? It can't be garlic, Huamian has not found garlic in this world, even if it is really garlic in Hanbei City, after a long time of stir-frying, it is impossible to retain such an obvious spicy taste.

"You're saying you've never tasted it before? Come to think of it, this is our unique mustard in Hanbei City."

Mustard? Hua Mian thought about it, what is the relationship between this dish and mustard in her impression? Fruit? Wrong... Seed! By the way, it's a seed, and I like to add a little mustard to eat for a while, and I deliberately checked the information related to mustard at that time, and I remember that yellow mustard is taken from the seeds of mustard greens.

Although the mustard greens are not as spicy as the chili peppers, they surprisingly match the mutton, perhaps because Nie uses mustard greens instead of the mustard seeds themselves, which makes the rice poured in the broth not have the greasy texture as expected.

At the same time, in the hall of the city guard's mansion, it can be seen that it has been specially cleaned and arranged, but Ye Huang still looks very abrupt when he sits in the hall.

Seeing the faces of these officials in the entourage, this Lord Xue was too hasty, since he had already known the news that His Highness would come to Hanbei City in advance, although it would not be enough to renovate the mansion, but like the lampstand with a corner dropped on the wall, the patched curtain hanging from the beam, and the window lattices that were out of place with the surroundings due to the repair of paint, these things were obviously cleaned up in the knowledge that His Highness was going to come seriously......

But...... But is this belittling His Highness Eleven? Or did it deliberately do it for His Highness to see? In case His Royal Highness questioned that someone had deducted the monthly money from the border pass, it would be too wronged, the money in Hanbei City has never been too late, and even local officials are allowed to advance the monthly salary in advance, and they have already done this, but he still uses such a mansion to receive His Royal Highness, no wonder he has not been able to transfer back to the imperial city for so many years.
