Seeing her, Yan Sui sat up straight, and everyone's expressions eased slightly.

Everyone knows that this female official is now a celebrity around His Majesty, and he is a good cook, and he is rare and ingenious, and the palace night market founded by him has adjusted His Majesty's body, trained the juniors of the royal family, enriched the palace life, reduced the palace anger, and more importantly, the reasonable promotion of the night market has also brought long-term benefits to the city and the people.

Facing the gentle gaze of most people, Wen Zhen smiled and saluted slightly, pressed his fingers to his lips, and made a silent gesture.

It was said to be a bit frivolous, but she did it only to make people feel playful, and some of the older ministers especially liked it, and they smiled.

There were many people in the main hall, Wen Zhen turned his eyes, and first saw the Tang family brothers and sisters sitting in the crowd, and also bent his eyes at Tang Xianzhi, who was looking at him with a smile.

Immediately, she felt a murderous aura.

Look again, yo, coriander is turning its head.

Then she looked at the second seat on the left and saw a man in his thirties, whom she had never seen before.

But it didn't prevent her from seeing him soon, because such a solemn and elegant temperament was too rare and too conspicuous among the nobles in the house.

He is also dressed very simply, wearing a green robe, bamboo and wood hairpins, and the cuffs reveal snow-white edges that have been a little brushed.

Wen Zhen thought to himself, this is probably the royal uncle Yongwang His Royal Highness who has a diluted temperament since childhood, likes to travel, and does not like prosperity, I heard that he calls himself Mr. Cooking Rain, he is a family scholar, and he rarely comes to the palace on weekdays, which is really rare.

Wen Zhen only glanced at it before retracting his gaze and walked to the small stainless steel platform, his steps silent.

She was allowed to bring a knife into the temple, and the boning knife in her hand was shiny, and it was an expensive knife she brought from modern times.

On the small table is also a silver plate covered with a silver cover, and a few white porcelain plates are placed next to it.

Put on the gloves and lift the silver cover, everyone narrowly held back an exclamation that was about to exit.

On the silver platter, which was much larger than the norm, was a duck with red skin and shiny oil.

In this era, there are duck sticks, duck shreds, pickled ducks, stewed ducks, and there are many types, but everyone has never seen this way of eating, and they only feel that it is very attractive to look at, but they can't smell anything.

At this time, the chef of Na Yao was sniffing the following two dishes.

"This dish should be tripe, half hairy tripe and half plate belly, first marinated in salted water with minced garlic for half an hour, and then stir-fried with red pepper and a large amount of garlic."

"The last dish should be the suckling pigeon, the raw hen pigeon with salt and sesame oil, sauce, wine each add three cups of pickled and smeared, after a slow roast, add green onions, sugar and the soup that has just been pickled into the pot and simmer."

He was so complacent that his nose twitched a few times, and he seemed to smell a little smell, but he couldn't make out that the smell was too faint, not like the smell of a normal dish.

It looks like a roasted taste, and it also contains a little bit of fruit wood, but I can't be sure what the material is, and the roasted deer tail in the palace banquet is not very similar.

He hadn't smelled it.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking that it should still be the smell of the four dishes, confusing the results he came to later.

The Emperor asked him, "Is it recognizable?" ”

Wen Zhen pushed the cart and walked silently past him.

He replied, "Yes." ”

There was a slight boo from the crowd.

Bu Zhan's face was a little ugly.

The cook unbuttoned the blindfold and faced the moving table in front of him.

That fat, golden-red roast duck almost blinded him.

The cook was stunned, unable to figure out why he didn't recognize the dish.

Wen Zhen has already started her performance.

She lifted the boning knife, the cold light flashed, the tip of the knife touched the full duck body, cut open the plump and full skin, everyone could clearly see the golden grease on the inner layer of the duck skin, was sandwiched by two layers of jujube red crispy, Wen Zhen's knife body swept flat, the most beautiful crispy skin made a slight sound, like a petal of jujube red petals fell into the white porcelain plate on the side, and then was lightly spread by Wen Zhen's fingers, and it was lined up into a row of duck skin of the same size and shape.

In this plate, Wen Zhen used the traditional slice method of almond slices, and in the next plate, she prepared willow leaf strips.

Her hands seemed to be enchanted, and between the thin white fingertips, the golden jujube duck skin fell like willow leaves, neatly arranged in the white porcelain plate, and the young people in the first hall were fascinated by her movements, and for the first time felt that there could be such a pleasing beauty between the kitchens.

The roast duck fat is shiny after slicing, and the pink meat is mixed with pale white duck fat, and the aroma is slightly dispersed at this moment.

The knife flashed again, and then there was a plate of meat with a belt.

The rest of the duck rack was handed over to the little eunuch who was in charge and sent back to the imperial kitchen to be fried with salt and pepper.

There are a few roast ducks under the small cart, Wen Zhen's hand speed is very fast, and he has already slipped several dishes in a short time, some of the duck racks are braised in the braised mouth, some are boiled with winter melon and cabbage, some are fried, and the duck fat is collected and steamed eggs, all of which are handed over to the imperial kitchen for follow-up processing.

Pull out a long, narrow porcelain plate divided into four compartments, and inside is prepared shredded cucumbers, shredded green onions, homemade sweet noodle sauce, and granulated sugar.

In the other disc was a thin cake, snow-white, slightly cool to the touch.

Wen Zhen removed the superfluous things and demonstrated the classic way to eat roast duck to everyone, and everyone watched intently.

The first duck roll wrapped by Wen Zhen himself was naturally given to the emperor, and the emperor took it, took a bite slowly, and couldn't help but praise, "Wonderful!" ”

The second duck roll was given to Bu Zhan, and when the duck roll was delivered, Wen Zhen smiled and said: "Shizi, Yaoguo is really a good place, do you know that this duck species is produced in the waters of Pingyang County of Yaoguo?" There are abundant water and grass, abundant aquatic products, and the ducks are raised to be extra fat and tender, which is the best roasting material. ”

Bu Zhan originally looked uncertain, but when he heard these words, he suddenly laughed a lot, and said with a smile: "Is it? Then I'll have a few more bites. After taking the duck roll, he smiled again, "The beauty gave me fragrant roast duck, how can I repay the jade Qiongju?" ”

Wen Zhenwaner, "Didn't the prince already report this morning?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere was harmonious, and everyone looked at it and felt satisfied.

Some people came up with some ideas - looking at this prince of Yaoguo, he seems to have a very cordial attitude towards the female official, if he can achieve a good relationship because of this, wouldn't it be beneficial to the friendship between the two countries?

There has never been a shortage of self-righteous matchmakers in this world, and Yi Dezhong, the official of the ministry, immediately smiled: "In this case, the female official will wrap a few more duck rolls for the prince, so that the prince can have a good time." ”

Yi Dezhong is the son of the side branch of the Changchuan Yi family, according to the agreement, the direct descendants of the three major gate valves are not allowed to hold the central position, and there are very few side lines. This person has always been able to eat openly, and everyone is smiling.

Bu Zhan looked at Wen Zhen happily, and Wen Zhen was just thinking about whether to bow his head or find a reason to pull it over, when he heard someone knocking on the table above.

Everyone looked up and looked, yo, His Royal Highness King Yi.

Yan Sui knuckles knocked on the table unhurriedly, and he couldn't see much expression on his face, so he only said, "The prince wants to eat duck rolls." ”

The prince's expression was like eating......

Is there anyone who throws the pot so confidently?

Did you see your father roll his eyes?

Wen Zhen smiled apologetically at Bu Zhan, wrapped a duck roll for him, and then arrived in front of the prince, and very consciously wrapped two duck rolls and served them with his own hands, before the prince could reach out to take them, Yan Sui stretched out his hand and copied the two duck rolls.

"Just remember," he said, "the prince doesn't eat duck." ”

Prince......

What about the face!

Roll it all for you, roll it, and eat it in the lotus leaf cake!

……

Yan Sui ate two duck rolls, his face was still faint, and suddenly Wen Zhen brought a small plate over, and in the plate were the best and crispest pieces of duck skin, and whispered when he put it down: "These skins taste best when eaten with sugar, and I don't tell him about ordinary people." ”

Yan Sui glanced at her, ate silently, and showed a little smile on her face, suddenly her eyes swept on the back of her neck, and her brows furrowed, "You took a shower this morning?" ”

Wen Zhen was stunned, and when he touched his hand, the hair on the back of his neck was slightly wet. She didn't have time to dry her hair after falling into the water this morning, so she rushed to the kitchen, where the moisture was heavy, so her hair was still a little dry.

While thinking about why a big man is so delicate, he smiled and said: "Yes, such a big thing, of course, you have to bathe and burn incense to work." After saying that, he was afraid that he would find something again, so he hurriedly went to the rest of the table, told everyone how to eat duck skin, and also demonstrated it to several important ministers.

She wasn't afraid that she would be seen something, but that he would be angry and slaughter Yan Jue, and it would be no good for her to make a big deal out of her.

When he arrived in front of Da Sikong Order, Wen Zhen inadvertently raised his head, and found that the other party's face was blue and gray, his eyes were tired, and he was much thinner than the last time he saw him, and he was a little surprised, thinking that he had recently heard that Da Sikong was old and often recuperated at home, so how could he become more and more unpresentable.

And she always felt that this look was a little familiar, but she couldn't tell it. I didn't think much about it, and I continued to demonstrate it in turn. On weekdays, she rarely had close contact with these ministers, but at this time, she felt that something was wrong when she personally served food, many of them had strong dark circles under their eyes, their spirits were sluggish, some people were quietly yawning, and she also smelled a strange and strange aroma on one of the ministers.

Wen Zhen's intuition has always been very smart, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't care about research at the moment.

Everyone at the banquet took the skin and dipped it in sugar, and Yan Sui was satisfied to find that almost the best skin of several roast ducks was here, and his eyes were even more poisonous under the joy, and he found that there was a slight silt in the corner of Wen Zhen's nails.

Wen Zhen naturally washed his hands, so this bit of sediment is really very little, but he can't stand someone's poisonous eyes, Yan Sui glanced at it, and found that there was no one missing, and then raised his hand to signal the scheming behind him, "Yan definitely didn't come, to inquire about what happened before." ”

The work was scheming and took the order. The appetizers here have been served, and Wen Zhen was about to retire to prepare the second batch of dishes, when the Yao Guo chef, who smelled and knew the dishes, suddenly said: "Fang just lost a chip, and I really yearn for the wonderful cooking of your imperial chefs, so I want to ask you for advice." ”

This is also what Yao Guo revealed before, it is not enough to let the family lose a game, you have to show some skills to convince people, and the Dongtang imperial chefs responded with a smile.

The cook said, "Ask for a dish that is cheapest and most expensive and satisfies everyone." ”

Everyone was stunned, it was not difficult for everyone to be satisfied, and there was not much to find fault with the dishes of the imperial chefs. But how to say the cheapest and the most expensive?

The head of the imperial kitchen hesitated for a while and said, "I stew cabbage in broth...... The broth is boiled with sea cucumbers, tendons, bear's paws, flying dragons......"

Everyone nodded one after another, feeling that it was really cheap and expensive.

A few people in the imperial kitchen blushed a little - the boiling water cabbage soup was first made by Wen Zhen to adjust the emperor's appetite, everyone learned it, and now the imperial kitchen has been renovated with all kinds of broth, and at this time, it is inevitable that he will be a little weak to say it first.

The Yao Guo chef shook his head, "No, what I want is the main dish itself, which is cheap and expensive, rather than relying on the rest of the things to add." ”

Several imperial chefs pondered and meditated, but they couldn't answer, their faces turned red, and at this time, the second round of dishes also came up, which were snow chrysanthemum sturgeon, bird's nest duck silk, peony phoenix wings, celery deer breast, apricot cheese clotted fat, and mushroom elephant trunk.

The cook was not reconciled, as usual blindfolded guess the dish, this time the six dishes were guessed, consciously pulled back a city, his face was shining, praised each dish, and marveled that Dongtang really deserved to be a big country, even the legendary dragon intestines of the sturgeon, especially the last elephant trunk full of praise, said that it is moist and fragrant, warm and mellow, at a glance you know that it is delicate and tender, melts in the mouth, and can do one of the four treasures of the elephant trunk to this extent, it is really amazing.

At the end of the conversation, when everyone heard the climax, they suddenly laughed: "It's just a pity that sturgeon dragon intestines, bird's nests, wings, elephant trunks and other things are all the most precious things, but this is not to talk about." It seems that this question cannot be solved. ”

When he spoke, he was faintly complacent, the ministers were silent, and everyone in the imperial kitchen bowed their heads in shame.

Bu Zhan said with a smile: "Even if it is a big country, it may not be able to come out on top in everything, so there are some shortcomings, which is also a common thing." ”

Suddenly, one laughed and said, "Wrong, wrong." Miss by a mile. ”

It was Tang Xianzhi who spoke, and everyone looked at him in surprise, but he raised his glass to Wen Zhen with a smile.

Wen Zhen couldn't help but smile too, his eyes crooked.

She still wants to sell a pass, and this person guessed it.

I don't know how to guess it, this person is really a fairy's face and a ghost heart.

Tang Xianzhi knew what she was thinking when he saw her expression, and smiled slightly.

How did you guess it?

Does she know that when she is confident and secretly digging a pit, she smiles very sweetly and lovely?

Like the man-eating flower that is said to hunt.

The cook asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Did anyone answer it? ”

Tang Xianzhi was about to speak, but Yan Sui suddenly said, "Of course I have already answered." ”

The cook looked at the six dishes, and saw that everyone was still at a loss, and was displeased: "It's just a consultation, and you frankly admit that you will not lose the demeanor of a great country." Now it is surprising to talk about it like this without giving a clear word. ”

The ministers frowned again, a cook talking like this is presumptuous, but he is angry on behalf of Bu Zhan, Bu Zhan is smiling and watching on the side, everyone is not easy to attack, but it is inevitable that they are a little depressed, and the king of Changqing County can't help but scold those imperial chefs, "I don't know, don't retreat quickly, I will learn deeply in the future, and then I will ask others for advice!" ”

Everyone was about to retreat in shame, when suddenly one of them smiled leisurely and said, "Ask for advice? Who to ask? Do you want to ask someone who is not good at cooking, who doesn't know how to face and pretends to be a coercion? ”

Everyone looked at Wen Zhen, and Wen Zhen pointed to the mushroom trunk.

"Isn't that the answer in front of you?"

The cook said angrily: "Smell the female officer! You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! This elephant trunk is so precious, where is it cheap! ”

"I'll send it back to you." Wen Zhen said with a smile, "This elephant trunk, there is a penny and a pound on the market, and sometimes it doesn't cost money, buy more pork and give it away, it is much cheaper than green vegetables, and I really can't find anything cheaper than it." ”

She was going back and forth, and her eyes swept on the other party's face with a smile, and the chef's face turned red, and everyone was happy.

"Impossible!"

Wen Zhen smiled and bowed to the upper and lower halls, and said, "I said that I know with Your Majesty, Your Highnesses and all your lords, this thing is really cheap, but it tastes really good." It's just that I'm thinking about whether I can affect the interest of Your Majesty and your lords if I don't say it. Shall I just quietly explain my doubts to this master? ”

The Emperor laughed and said, "Then I don't want to hear it, in case it is really some strange thing and loses my appetite." Just eat well. ”

Tang Xianzhi smiled and said, "I heard that the female official wants to keep the secret recipe to make money, right?" If you want me to say today's dishes, don't put them in your famous hot pot restaurant, it's enough to open a separate restaurant, if you really want to open it, remember to give us a cheaper. ”

Everyone laughed, Ben was still a little unhappy, but he was relieved to hear him say this.

The chef's specialty dish is precious, and there is no reason to ask people to say it publicly.

Wen Zhen made a gesture to Tang Xianzhi and thanked him for explaining and advertising for himself. He smiled again: "It's not all like that, it's just that this dish is not created by me." When I was a child, I dreamed that a food master surnamed Tang described the recipe of this dish in a book. Learn from this. Therefore, I feel that it is not easy to tell everyone at will. ”

Tang Xianzhi smiled again and said: "Since the master is described in the book, he naturally hopes to pass it on to future generations, and the food will be passed on endlessly. ”

Wen Zhen sighed in his heart for his transparency, and smiled at him more clearly.

Everyone looked at her and Tang Xianzhi with a smile, and felt that the appearance of these two people looking at each other and smiling was also very beautiful, like a pair of beautiful people.

Yan Sui, who was eating the braised elephant trunk deliciously, suddenly picked up a piece of elephant trunk with the tip of the chopsticks and looked out from the hole.

Tang Xianzhi suddenly felt a gaze coming, turned his head, and saw a swarthy eye behind the "elephant's trunk".

Some kind of indefatigable gaze passed through the hole in his nose and shot him through a sieve.

How does this feel......

It feels like the elephant trunk has no appetite!

……

Wen Zhen didn't find out about the lawsuit between the two, turned his head and whispered a few words to the cook, the cook's face turned from red to blue and white, he couldn't help but turn around and taste it again, chewed for a long time, shook his head and sighed, and lowered his head to Wen Zhen.

It's what it means to throw in the towel. Everyone was overjoyed, and although they were inevitably curious, they had to press it first.

When the palace maid came to remove all the dishes in this round, everyone ate the mushroom and elephant trunk the cleanest, while marveling at how fragrant the elephant trunk can be, and at the same time wondering why such a delicious thing would ruin their appetite when they say it?

The seventh princess Yan Qi is a foodie, and when she saw Wen Zhen walking by her, she grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Wen Female Official, your cooking is delicious and interesting, why don't you marry into the royal family." If you don't like your brother, your younger brother will do it, and Lao Jiu will be five years younger than you. ”

Wen Zhen bent down and smiled: "Seventh Princess, aren't I just serving in the royal family?" Why do you want to marry the prince? ”

"So that I can eat the dishes you cook for the rest of my life, otherwise you will have to leave the palace in more than two years, who will I eat?" Saying that, he went to pull Yan Xu, the Nine Emperor Princes beside him, "Old Jiu, Lao Jiu, you see how delicious this elephant trunk is, marry a female official!" You can eat elephant trunk for the rest of your life, and you can eat spicy hot pot skewers, milk tea, fried ice stinky tofu, grilled cold noodles, fried noodles, fried noodles, fried beef river, ......" said and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Wen Zhen felt that her focus seemed to be "no money......

Yan Xu didn't raise his head, "Okay, give her a side concubine." ”

Side your sister, little brat.

She suddenly felt murderous again.

When I turned my head, I saw Yan Sui walking this way.

Wen Zhen clearly felt that the Seventh Princess sat up straight in an instant, and the Nine Emperor Princes, who were eating deliciously, instantly lost their appetite and silently put down their chopsticks.

Then she heard Yan Sui say to Yan Qi: "I heard that Mama Liu in your palace is lazy and greedy, this is not good, don't be tired, you are lazy and greedy, royal princess, if you can't get married, you will be embarrassed, Ming'er will change it for you." ”

Without waiting for Yan Qi to wail, he said again: "Xiao Jiu, is your homework done?" Have you ever dreamed of a concubine? Na Ming'er and Taifu said, add three more courses to you, and be sure to let me learn a great Confucianism without doing my job. ”

Then he left the two younger siblings who wept silently and dared not speak out, and did not look at Wen Zhen, who was smiling awkwardly on the side, and sat back by himself.

Wen Zhen was silent for a while, thinking to himself, young master, which tendon have you been pumped again?

Yan Sui picked the elephant's trunk with chopsticks, looked out of the hole, saw Bu Zhan for a while, saw Tang Xianzhi for a while, and occasionally saw his younger brothers and sisters who were suspected.

Stay in the elephant's trunk like a lump of boogers.

The world is so unfriendly.

I don't know how I feel like I'm full of greenery......

What's even more annoying is that a certain person who grows grass everywhere has no awareness of blooming everywhere at all, Yan Sui squinted his eyes, thinking that he originally planned to let Wen Zhen be his own cook, because her dishes are actually not better than the imperial chef than others, but she can eat that difference, there is a kind of aura and refreshment that fits his intentions, but seeing that his father also likes her novelty, he can't help but cut his love, now look at it, she shouldn't just be her father's cook, anyway, she also left a lot of recipes, and let the imperial chefs learn itWhy do you have to stay in the palace and plant grass?

I was secretly thinking about going back and finding some reason to get this girl out of the palace, and the third round of dishes came up over there.

This round is vegetarian dishes, and the menu is Kunlun vegetarian abalone, crispy eel with fresh mushrooms, Sufo jumping over the wall, winter melon gluten, cherry yam, and Wen Zhen's, mapo tofu.

The last dish is the soul of Sichuan cuisine, the love of modern people, and has always competed with several dishes such as Kung Pao chicken and tened pork shredded meat, and it is also one of the dishes reserved in modern Nashi Restaurant. When it was served, it was so fragrant and spicy that everyone's nose couldn't help but stir.

The essence of mapo tofu is spicy, one should be hot, the second should be oily, and the third should be minced beef, not minced pork. It is said that when Mapo created this tofu, it was made for a group of men who picked oil, and with a large amount of oil left at the bottom of the barrel, the tofu burned out was red and soft, delicious and spicy, and it was not difficult to conquer this group of people who were used to eating light food every day, the spicy taste was already special, slowly wood up from the tip of the tongue, but the mouth secreted more saliva, and only the tofu that entered the throat at the entrance could transmit the wonderful taste of this mouthful to the stomach.

Wen Zhen has been carefully observing the entire hall, and the emperor and queen are not very keen on eating, and are mainly responsible for making mascots. The prince's mind is not on eating, he does not steal the limelight, he will never say a word in public, he has been taking care of a few old ministers around him, Situ Sikong Prime Minister Taiwei, and he has to introduce food and personally help, so busy that he flies. Among the first few people, only Yan Sui and Bu Zhan are really eating.

Bu Zhan since the last round of the chef lost, his face is not very good-looking, scooped the tofu with a spoon, took small bites and eats, with a thoughtful face, this person's joy, anger and sorrow are on his face, the nobles of Dongtang looked at it, and they had a little headache, thinking that such a willful temper, if it is not reversed, it will be a little difficult to scrape the land of Yaoguo in the future, and there will be some resentment against Wen Zhen, winning will win, and I don't know how to be tactful, I really want to make people awkward, it is really not worth winning 10,000 times.

The king of Changqing County said diligently: "The prince doesn't like to eat this tofu?" It's weird to say it's weird, my tongue is numb now. He also reprimanded Wen Zhen, "This taste is so strange, how can it be offered to foreign guests at this grand state banquet?" Wen that the female officer is too rash! ”

As soon as his words fell, he put down the spoon suddenly, everyone was surprised and happy, surprised that the female official was afraid to eat and hang, and the happy was also that the female official was afraid to eat and hang, the king of Changqing County quickly stood up, bowed to the seat, and said: "Your Majesty, Wen Zhenzhen has always been famous for rare and clever food, and the dishes that he is good at are difficult to get into the elegant hall, today's banquet, she is enough to offer three dishes, and the rest will be by the prime minister of the imperial kitchen." ”

Everyone was silent, and most people felt that the king of Changqing County was a little ugly, clearly crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, borrowing three dishes from others to win, and then expelling people to the losing prince to get angry. But because they know the joints, most people also feel that this is a good way to solve the problem without contradictions, and to achieve the difficult requirement of "winning the world without making him angry". As for wronging Wen Zhen, most people don't think it's anything - it doesn't hurt to lose his life for the royal family, not to mention a little dignity, strictly speaking, this is also an honor.

Of course, if the matter comes to them, it is another way of saying it, but this does not prevent them from trampling on the dignity of others at this moment.

The emperor frowned, and before he could speak, Bu Zhan suddenly picked up the plate and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has a request, can you serve a bowl of rice first." ”

Everyone was stunned, the emperor naturally responded, and someone brought the best silk miao rice, and in front of everyone's eyes, Bu Zhan poured the rice into the tofu, sighed and snorted for a while, and said excitedly while eating: "It should be eaten like this!" I've wanted to say it's been a long time, but I'm just embarrassed! ”

Everyone went to see the king of Changqing together.

The king of Changqing County was like being slapped in the face, and his face was purple for a long time, but fortunately, he had been cultivating in Huan Hai for many years, and he could bear the embarrassment, and said while hehe: "The prince is still good at food, so the imperial kitchen will also give me a bowl of rice." ”

The eunuchs were just about to respond, and suddenly Yan Sui said leisurely: "Don't give it." ”

Everyone: "......"

Yan Sui didn't look at them either, eating the tofu slowly, thinking that the tofu was quite tender and a bit like someone's cheeks, and when to take a bite, he said lightly: "Don't eat too much, there are vegetables behind." What if you go crazy and tear down all the bridges on the Jinshui River? ”

The purple face of the king of Changqing turned blue, everyone was embarrassed, and some people couldn't help laughing, and there was an old man with a bull's eye who laughed the loudest.

Wen Zhen let out a "poof" and hurriedly held back, thinking that it would be coriander essence to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this.

She pursed her lips and stood there, without saying a word, she was in a somewhat unhappy mood, and she dispersed at this moment, not only scattered, but also escaped a trace of sweetness between her lips and teeth, Wen Zhen licked the tip of her tongue and licked her palate, thinking that she had been tired for a long time, and she hadn't eaten anything, why was it so sweet.

Yan Sui glanced at her, the little fox didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were crooked, because he pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing a little harder, he showed two deep dimples, and his smile became sweeter and sweeter, so sweet that his chopsticks trembled, a piece of tofu didn't catch and fell, and his cheeks were suddenly a little numb, and he didn't know whether he was numbed by tofu or numb by that small expression.

The old face of the king of Changqing County was slapped again and again, and finally he couldn't support it, and sat in the crowd with his back bent and didn't speak. Over there, Wen Zhen went down again, and a new round of singing and dancing was held in the hall, giving the guests time to digest, and the next round was dim sum.

Steamed cheese with sugar, osmanthus chestnut cake, Dingsheng cake, plum blossom cake, jade shrimp dumplings, and Wenzhen's egg tart.

At this time, everyone had already eaten about the same, and they all had experience, and the dim sum in front of them was not moved, and they were waiting for Wen Zhen's dishes on their stomachs. This time, Wen Zhen's dishes came very slowly, but everyone was very patient, and sure enough, as soon as the egg tart came up, the tender yellow egg tart in the small porcelain cup attracted everyone's attention.

The outer layer is a layer of puff pastry-like things, which trembles in the palm of the palm, and the inside is a delicate yellow, with a slight caramel color in the middle, smelling, there is a rich egg fragrance and the sweet aroma of sugar.

Wen Zhen's voice was as sweet and seductive as this egg tart, "This is the egg tart." Looking backwards, doesn't it look like a small tower? ”

The real name of the egg tart is an English transliteration, but this group of ancients will only be more and more confused when they speak English, Wen Zhen simply changed its name, and the egg tart skin she made was delicate and distinct, like a small tower.

Butter is not easy to obtain, the buffalo milk oil is boiled and frozen, and then the artifact egg beater brought by Wen Zhen himself is opened at high speed, the oil and water are separated, and the precipitated oil is butter.

Wen Zhen stayed in the research institute, those researchers were idle and developed all kinds of small machines, and because it was inconvenient to go out, many times the energy source was solar energy, and her egg beater was also solar, and there was no electricity for a period of time when she first came, and she didn't dare to take it out casually to bask in the sun and charge, until recently, her position in the palace has become more and more stable, and her safety has been guaranteed, so she is full of electricity.

So her gastronomic universe is also filled with electricity, and with the sound of a motor, there is hope for the most wonderful sweets.

Because of the troublesome procedures, Wen Zhen is only one person who is stingy, and he wants to sigh when he sees that egg tart being pinched up by everyone and constantly dropping slag.

As soon as he turned his head and saw Yan Sui, he suddenly met his bosom friend, His Royal Highness he ate finely, and he didn't know how he ate it, so crispy skin, he was stunned that there were no crumbs at all.

Most of the people swallowed in two bites, and some people were too urgent, and their mouths were hot with the stuffing, and they were chewing on their cheeks while sucking and sucking.

The emperor has always been a man of few words, and he ate less, and after eating the egg tart slowly, he finally boasted, "The outer skin is crispy and multi-layered, the inner filling is tender and fragrant, and eggs can also make such a snack, which is really a wonderful product." ”

Bu Zhan answered unhappily, "Are you made of eggs?" The foreign minister almost thought that it was made of gold, but there was only one. ”

Wen Zhen smiled and said, "There are still good ones in the future, after all the dishes are served, there is also a separate dessert." You have to keep your stomach. ”

Everyone looked at her in disbelief, this egg tower was already wonderful and fragrant, there was no such thing as the greasy sweetness of the palace dim sum, it was the most dim sum that everyone had ever eaten, and it was hard to imagine what could be better.

At this time, everyone was already full, but for the sake of this later expectation, they were secretly rubbing their stomachs, trying to make their stomachs digest quickly in this short time, so as to stuff the so-called more wonderful snacks behind.

Yan Sui sat tall, his demeanor was calm, and he didn't have any food burden.

He only eats all the dishes made by Wen Zhen, and he is not full.

The next batch is the staple food, and this time everyone's staple food was ignored, just waiting for Wen Zhen's Yi noodle grilled crab to cover it.

Yi noodles, formerly known as Yifu noodles, are the predecessor of instant noodles, the invention of Yi Bingshou's home kitchen in Yangzhou, Qing Dynasty. The noodles are made by kneading eggs in broth, and the eggs are smoother and smoother, and when fried, they are more mellow and golden. The crab is the famous crab tiger crab in Dongtang, the cream is rich, the oil is yellow and condensed, take the crab cover with snow-white crab meat and golden crab roe, and put it on the Yi noodles cooked in the crab roe broth, visually it is first of all an excellent enjoyment - the crab cover is crimson, the Yi noodles are golden, the snow-white crab willow floats and sinks, and the stars are tender and yellow like osmanthus stamens, not to mention the delicious and thick taste, moist and soluble pulp, the only drawback is that there are too few - how many noodles can the crab cover hold? A big mouth is over.

This is the end of the banquet, this is a simplified welcome state banquet, there should have been nine rounds, plus the fruit plate after the welcome wine and tea, etc., a total of seventy-two dishes. It's just that Bu Zhan's request is that he wants to eat well, and he doesn't want to drink or eat those tricks, so he has more than 30 things.

The crab cover for Bu Zhan was extra large, and Bu Zhan cherished it, slowly took two bites, and suddenly sighed.

He raised his chopsticks, and a half-moon-shaped thing on the chopsticks was faintly red, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they saw it carefully.

That's a piece of nail!

It's supposed to be a woman's, and it's also painted with bright red Kodan!

For a while, the ministers were in an uproar, some of them had a bad stomach, they couldn't help but gag, and some people hurriedly turned over their crab covers, almost nothing abnormal, and suddenly Shan Sikong trembled and raised his chopsticks, a small pearl on the tip of the chopsticks, the pearl has holes, like a woman's earrings.

"What's going on?" Some people were surprised, "Crabs are not mussels, I haven't heard of pearls!" ”

"What's the matter with these nails?" The king of Changqing County was shocked, "Lady Wen, haven't your nails been trimmed well?" ”

At the palace banquet, there are almost strict requirements for the hygiene of the chef, and it is a felony to fall into the dish if the nails are not cut properly, or fall into the dish for the distinguished guests.

Wen Zhen chuckled when he saw his nails, knowing that he had been a little uneasy premonition, and he was finally about to come to him.

At this time, two female officials came over to check her nails, Wen Zhen's nails were cut flat, and there were no nails at all, so there would be no tearing at a glance.

Bu Zhan kept holding the nail, looked at it in a daze, and suddenly shouted: "This is a nail with flesh!" He threw away his chopsticks and threw himself on the desk and vomited.

Crowd discoloration – what does fleshy nails mean?

Suddenly, there was a faint commotion outside the palace, and Taiwei Yao, who was also in charge of the palace guards, got up and went out, Wen Zhen faintly heard him scolding a few words, and then his tone changed to surprise, and he came back after a while, his face was solemn, everyone looked, everyone was a shrewd person, everyone's eyes flickered, and they knew that something must have happened.

Yao Taiwei reported: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the third-class palace maid of the Shanggong Bureau has something important to report, saying that she heard that there is a major event in the female official courtyard, and the minister asks Long Xiangwei to enter the inner palace to check." ”

------Off topic------

Braised "elephant trunk", learned in the online recipe, Tang Lusun talked about eating, and it seems that this dish was also mentioned. I put quotation marks, which naturally means that this is not a real elephant trunk, I don't know if anyone can guess what is going on, and the first one to guess has a tip.

Pick up a piece of "elephant trunk" and look at you through the hole to see whose monthly pass is still hidden in your pocket?
