Chapter 297: Performing in front of the Emperor
"Chili?" , Emperor Deyuan was sure that it was the first time he had heard this kind of name, but in front of so many people, it was not good to show that he didn't know, but fortunately, the palace people around him were clever, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he asked the attendants around His Highness Eleven, and sent the fish dishes served just now.
"Your Majesty", the palace people sent a white porcelain basin.
Emperor Deyuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was a pot of red soup with some white fish floating in it.
"Bring a pair of cutlery"
When the emperor said this, the palace people on the side thought that they had heard it wrong, "Your Majesty, is this a ......", even if it was brought from the table of His Highness Eleventh, but this pot of vegetables has also been eaten, not to mention that there is a prince of Dongliu here, and it is not in accordance with the rules to let His Majesty eat the dishes that others have eaten.
Hearing the obstruction of the palace people, Emperor Deyuan himself felt that there was indeed a problem, but after listening to the magic of this ingredient called chili pepper that Ye Huang and the others said, he really wanted to try it.
It was still the palace man who was obedient, and after seeing the situation in front of him, he asked Ye Huang: "Your Highness Eleven, may I ask if the chef in charge of this chili dish is in the kitchen on the side?" ”
Ye Huang said: "Chef Xia also came to the moon viewing banquet hall today, do you want to invite her over?" ”
After getting a definite answer, the palace people left the tent and went to the kitchen, at this time Hua Mian was preparing the fruit steamed cake after the meal as a snack, and when cutting the fruit, he saw a gorgeously dressed palace man hurriedly walked into the tent used as a temporary kitchen in the imperial dining room, and asked the left and right chefs what to do, and then walked straight to the direction where Hua Mian was.
The visitor stopped in front of Hua Mian in a blink of an eye, "May I ask you are Xia Hua Mian's head chef?" ”
Hua Mian stopped what she was doing, and looked at the person in front of her with some unclear situation: "That's right, I'm Xia Huamian, may I ask who you are?" ”
The palace people saluted to Hua Mian very seriously: "Please take charge of Xia's kitchen and follow our family to the moon viewing banquet hall."
"......", what should come will always come, and Hua Mian thought that using chili peppers would definitely be noticed.
Watching Hua Mian follow the palace people out, the cook on the side asked Jia Lao: "What's going on?" She's not going to have a problem, right? ”
Jia Lao glanced at the back of the palace people and said, "It's okay, the one who came is the person next to His Majesty, and it is estimated that Xia Zhangchu was called over to ask about His Highness Eleven."
Hua Mian followed behind the palace people and walked into the tent with some trepidation, and the officials on both sides saw that the palace people around Emperor Deyuan brought in a woman, and they all guessed the identity of this person.
"I'm afraid this woman is performing before the end of the feast"
"It doesn't look like it, the appearance is acceptable, but this outfit is too plain."
"Look closely, isn't she dressed in the chef's clothes?"
"Imperial performances? It is the first time that the saint has summoned a chef other than Jia Lao to perform at the moon viewing banquet."
Hua Mian walked all the way and heard all kinds of speculation among the officials around him, among which there were many familiar customers of Yilanlou like Lord Zhu and Lord Xiao, and they were a little grateful and the female official of the palace helped him paint such makeup, so that even if he didn't wear a veil, he wouldn't be discovered by them that Xia Huamian, who won the title of Oiran in the Lanqiu Festival, was an ordinary-looking person.
"Your Majesty, Chef Xia has arrived", the palace man led Hua Mian to the front center of the venue, and said respectfully to the people sitting on the high platform.
Hua Mian lowered his head, his nervous palms were sweating, and the person on the stage was the emperor of this country, Emperor Deyuan.
