Wen Zhen laughed, "If you don't eat, you won't eat, Your Majesty is kind, I won't make it delicious, I guess I won't be executed, and it is impossible to implicate you, right?" But just because he doesn't like to eat, I can't do it well. ”

The two stopped talking, and stood to the side with cold eyes. Seeing that Wen Zhen except for this strange thing, the rest of the things he chose were coarse vegetables such as green vegetables, tofu and edamame, and he glanced at each other and sneered.

The little eunuch couldn't help but say: "I won't let you do those weird things, you can't be so perfunctory, green vegetables and tofu are so bland, who can eat them!" ”

"Hey, I made it, Your Majesty is sure to eat it."

"Blow you! But don't be kicked out of the palace before he becomes a secretary. ”

Several of the imperial chefs on duty also lost interest and left with their arms in their arms.

Wen Zhen first put the dried black truffle slices into cold water to soak the fungus in cold water, and the sweet flavor can be retained to the greatest extent.

After the soup stock boiled over high heat, it was hung again, and then the green vegetables and tofu were slowly stewed.

Then she began to cook other dishes, a few rough palace people helped her peel edamame, peel corn, mash, add water, add the seasoning she prepared, stew in the pot, until glutinous, sieve off all the relatively large particles, leave only the tender green color, the starch is adjusted into a uniform paste, find a pan, and then find the copper sheet, ask the palace guards to bend it into an S shape, put the copper sheet into a frying pan, smear a layer of hot soybean oil on both sides of the copper sheet, and burn the pot hot, pour green bean paste on one side, pour corn paste on the other side, and pour a drop of corn paste on the green bean paste, A drop of green bean paste on the corn paste, wait for a few seconds, and lift the copper sheet, it is a perfect Taiji diagram. The goose is yellow and green, swirling, and its color is attractive.

At this time, the truffle has been soaked, Wen Zhen quickly chopped it with a knife, heated the pan, fried the dried black truffle, and took another bowl, egg liquid, ginger, salt, and black truffle together.

Scrambled eggs with black truffle, as simple as it is said, are actually a match made in heaven in the food world. Eggs have always been fragrant, and they can bring out the unique rich taste of truffles, and after the plate of black and gold came out of the pot, the neat footsteps of the passing guards were much more chaotic. Several imperial chefs who had already walked out probed in one after another, their eyes widening.

I didn't expect this kind of ugly food to be able to make such an extraordinary dish.

The eyeball's eyes widened even more after seeing Wen Zhen blatantly leave a small half.

Wen Zhen ignored them, sitting on the fire with a hot, affordable and filling pot, wrapped in a big bag of hot noodles in his hand, all the dishes did not add water, directly added broth, when the aroma was layered in the room, several dishes were almost out of the pot together, Wen Zhen beckoned a few imperial kitchen eunuchs to move over together.

The stewed pot was specially arranged in response to Yan Sui's request, and the materials were too many and too heavy, so in the end, it was directly moved over with a table.

The emperor and prince in the palace talked about it, I don't know what to say, the atmosphere was a little stiff, and during the dispute, they suddenly stopped, and some people subconsciously wanted to sniff violently, and suddenly remembered that the emperor was indecent, and tried to hold back, Yan Sui, who was sitting lazily, finally sat up a little straighter.

The prince smiled: "This fragrance is not the same as warm fire." ”

The emperor nodded, "It's not the same as medicinal food, I eat those medicinal foods all year round, and I feel like I'm smelling of medicine all over my body." ”

He was born weak, after succeeding to the throne, his diet has always been the top priority, medicinal food all year round, and the later imperial kitchen supervisor also worked hard in this regard, so he became more and more anorexic, and he summoned Wen Zhen tonight, not that he wanted to try something new, it was completely Yan Sui's pout.

However, the fragrance he smelled at this moment was really unheard of in his life, and it was even difficult to describe in words, and the emperor couldn't help but put down the music and looked at it eagerly.

Wen Zhen over there, the ministers are all kneeling in the hall, one person and a few, so that they can't eat the stewed pot, what can warm the heart by sitting alone? It's easy to feel when everyone heads heads up and eats hot pots together. It can also shorten the sense of distance between the heavenly family and the courtiers.

"Your Majesty," she said with a smile as she took the vegetables, "the folk girl comes from the countryside, and she can only cook some rural coarse vegetables, and the rural coarse vegetables must be eaten in the countryside to get the taste, so the folk girl wants to ask Your Majesty for a favor and a different way of eating." ”

The emperor looked a little interested, and waved her hand to signal her to be casual.

So she started mopping the table.

The old minister who was caught off guard and dragged away the case was dumbfounded and exclaimed, "What are you doing!" ”

"Eat." Wen Zhen beckoned to the eunuch while dragging it, "Come and help me!" ”

The eunuch was signaled by the emperor to come forward to help, and when he dragged it to Yansui, the demon emperor began to be a demon.

"No, I like to eat alone." Yan Sui pressed the table, "What should I do if a group of people huddle together and rub their clothes?" What should I do if I hit my arm? What to do if you touch saliva! ”

Wen Zhen thought that this neuropathy had to say that his brain was easy to use, and no one else reacted.

She naturally knows the rules of eating in ancient times, but it is not a big table of chopsticks fighting like in modern times, and there are more etiquettes. But after meeting the emperor, especially after listening to Yan Sui's instructions, she wanted to give it a try.

The emperor has a gentle temperament, and tonight he obviously has something to ask for these old ministers, and he will be willing to cooperate with this kind of thing.

As for someone who doesn't cooperate, pull it down, and don't regret it later.

"If you don't go, you won't go, I'll give you a single copy." Wen Zhen was not used to him, so he gave up his table and left directly, and gave an order to a little eunuch, who nodded and hurriedly went out.

She asked the eunuchs to move a few long and put together a large square table, a huge stewed pot is hot in the middle, next to it are a few small dishes, Tai Chi Liangyi, shredded fish-flavored chicken, vinegared cabbage, green onion roasted golden garlic fungus, stewed pot meat dishes, side dishes are mainly refreshing appetizing vegetarian dishes, in the steamer, the hot noodles with two kinds of stuffing of leek fresh meat and shepherd's cabbage are steaming, and the whole table also has a bit of rural flavor of home-cooked food.

Everyone was a little stunned for a while, it was not unheard of in the past when the emperor gave meals, but everyone had a table, and the palace banquet on weekdays was even more important to follow the ceremonial officials to sing the salute, and when to raise a glass and when to hold it. The emperor's meal, then it's not called rice, it's called grace, have you ever seen grace lying on the table and eating snorting?

The emperor was also stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up and he sat down, and the flexible little eunuch hurriedly brought him a cushion, and the emperor sat at the head of the table, and the rest of the people sat down a little helplessly according to their seats under his urging.

Yan Sui sat alone on the side, Wen Zhen took the stainless steel dinner plate that she brought to the little eunuch and was divided into four compartments, and was preparing to clip a little coriander essence for each dish, and the coriander essence stopped urgently.

"Wait!"

"What's wrong? Your Highness? ”

"Why are there only four squares? There are more than four dishes! Yan Sui squinted at her - the pit disease was committed again, right?

"But this plate, shiny and shiny, two by two, four grids, extremely perfect, and you don't have to squeeze and touch people, and you don't have to touch anyone's saliva, don't you want to eat alone with this?" Wen Zhen flicked the plate vigorously, and his voice was crisp and bright, "Listen, how crisp, how clean, how advanced, and how worthy of your temperament and style!" ”

Yan Sui stretched out his hand to grab the plate, ignored her, and unceremoniously walked to the right side of the emperor and sat down, an old minister who was originally sitting there quickly and quietly removed his ass before he arrived.

There was an empty distance in front of the emperor, and Wen Zhen held a plate alone and spread it in front of the emperor, with a soup and a dish on it.

Everyone took a look, good guy, green vegetable and tofu clear soup, the green vegetables and green tofu in the white water-like soup are white, the color is refreshing, but the soup noodles have no oil stars at all, the royal soup has always been exquisite, and I have never seen such a white water that looks at it without appetite.

The dishes are black and black, and you can't see anything.

The king of Changqing County frowned and said: "You don't know the rules, Your Majesty has a poor appetite, and your soup is still so bland?" Not to mention that this black dish is made with ingredients that have never been seen before, don't you know that strange food that has not been tasted three times cannot be served in front of His Majesty? ”

"Jun Wang Rongyu," Wen Zhen said with a smile, "These two dishes are not ordinary dishes, the former is the dragon and phoenix ten treasures jade white jade soup, and the latter is the golden egg with black truffle garlic sauce. They are the most suitable meals for His Majesty. ”

"No matter how you look at it, it's all white water greens!" The King of Changqing had a grim face. The faces of several old ministers were not good-looking, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "It's useless to talk more, let's talk about it after eating." "Beckoning everyone to their seats.

As soon as Yan Sui sat down, he stretched out his hand to drag the plate of black truffle scrambled eggs in front of the emperor, but the emperor held it down silently, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Come, sit down, this way of eating is fresh, the spring is cold, and the stove is a group meal. Come on, don't be formal! ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, under the leadership of the prince, they all thanked each other, and were held down by the emperor and Yan Sui with a white eye, and then sat down in turn, and for a while everyone sat around, the dishes on the table were steaming, and several old ministers didn't know whether they were smoked by the heat or what, their eyes were slightly moist, and the previously stiff complexion was slightly relieved.

The emperor and the crown prince glanced at each other, and didn't say anything, the emperor only looked at the dish, and said with a smile: "It's a good color, flavor, and flavor, that dish turned out to be a Tai Chi pattern, the green and yellow colors are distinct, it's really ingenious, and the pot in the middle is so rich." ”

Everyone also looked at the pot, Wen Zhen stood aside, took a pair of long chopsticks, and tossed the pot-bellied deep altar for everyone, the first layer is cabbage and mushrooms, the second layer is meatballs and fish balls, the third layer is pork ribs and lotus root mushrooms, the fourth layer is belly slices of pig's trotters, and the fifth layer is kelp tofu...... A layer of meat and a layer of vegetarian, the layers are distinct, neat and neat, the different aromas and tastes of meat and vegetables are intertwined, and the soup is milky white and bright, oily and moist in the steaming heat, the emperor personally scooped a bowl of soup for the eldest Situ Danling on the side, and said: "Come, Lao Dan, you have always had a cold stomach, and you drank this bowl hotly!" ”

Shan Ling hurriedly bowed down to receive it, the hands holding the bowl trembled slightly, he was silent for a long time, the heat covered his expression, only the light in his eyes was brighter, the emperor personally served soup to the rest of the people, everyone hurriedly thanked and congratulated, the atmosphere on the table was lively and cordial and homely, everyone was inevitably a little smoky, and they were slightly drunk without drinking, and when everyone drank the mellow soup that was fragrant and smooth on the tongue, the table was silent for a while.

Several important ministers glanced at each other, and they all faintly felt a little surprised - they didn't expect the Wen family to be pure in mind this time, and they really sent a master!

It's not that the imperial kitchen can't make delicious food, but after doing the royal food for a long time, it is gradually bound by those rules, not trying to be amazing, just seeking stability, and naturally lacking creativity and spirituality, and Wen Zhen's craftsmanship, in addition to the fresh taste and special creativity, also has an aura from the modern era and broad thinking.

This kind of aura is difficult to describe, and can only be understood from the mouth and tongue, because each person experiences different tastes and feelings, but all kinds of changes are wonderful tastes.

The taste in the mouth is rich, the feeling is naturally easy to surge, the food is full of strength, nostalgia and soothing, and the expressions on everyone's faces are also like the epiphany of this night, leisurely unfolding in the subtleties.

The scene here is warm, only Yan Sui ignored it, eating seemingly unhurried and consumed very quickly, while eating, he also looked at the single black truffle scrambled egg in front of the emperor, the emperor did not resist the special soul-hooking aroma of this dish at this time, and he picked up the chopsticks, and the little eunuch next to him immediately tried the dish quickly, and as soon as the chopsticks entered, he was stunned, and forgot his reaction for a while.

Yan Sui saw it, and immediately took his bowl to dial the dish, the emperor raised his hand, gently but resolutely pushed his bowl aside, and took a bite himself.

He was also stunned at the entrance, this thin black and black little thing, the first bite was a little difficult to get used to, reminiscent of the damp soil deep in the dense forest, but then, the soil was turned over, hiding the most wonderful gift of nature. A wonderful aroma of garlic, warm eggs, mellow nuts, and sweet honey...... The complex aroma of countless varieties is mixed like a tide rushing to the taste buds, and the tenderness of the egg has reached its peak, gently rolled and crushed on the tip of the tongue, soft, tough, tender, fresh, all kinds of flavors sweep the mouth, and then calmly slide into the stomach, the stomach seems to be filled with the warm fragrance of the lights of ten thousand homes, the world lights up, and all things germinate with spring.

Next to it, it was Wen Zhen's voice, which was as tender as this truffle scrambled egg, "Your Majesty, this is a black truffle scrambled egg." The truffle is an extremely valuable mushroom that grows only in the warm, lush lands of the south, where it is buried under a few tree roots and requires a difficult method to find it. The yield is very small, it is not resistant to storage, and it cannot be cultivated. Men often eat truffles, which can strengthen the body, improve sleep, improve fatigue, weakness, upset, chest tightness, poor appetite and other conditions. Black truffles and eggs are scrambled together, which can stimulate each other's aroma and enhance the taste, and if His Majesty can eat it, it can be served regularly in Nandian Prefecture. ”

The prince was overjoyed and immediately said, "I immediately ordered Nandian Prefecture to look for this truffle fungus!" ”

The emperor ate a few bites of truffles, but never touched the soup, and even Yan Sui, who had been trying to pry the corner of the emperor's wall, didn't look at the soup more than that—it was too bland!

Wen Zhen didn't emphasize the introduction, just waited on the side.

It's just that if you eat too much truffles, which is a special taste, you will inevitably feel too strong, and the emperor unconsciously scooped a spoonful of soup while chatting, and as soon as he entered his mouth, the spoon paused.

Everyone looked at the emperor's face and hurriedly stopped chopsticks, and the king of Changqing County frowned, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty feels bad appetite?" He also scolded Wen Zhen, "You dare to ruin Your Majesty's appetite and don't give me ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Sui reached over the spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup into his Laozi soup bowl.

The king of Changqing County immediately stopped, and before he could say anything, he saw that the emperor quickly drank his spoon, and at the same time did not forget to stretch out his chopsticks and suppress Yan Sui's spoon, "I will grab this bowl of soup too!" He easily changed the soup bowl to the prince's side.

The prince hurriedly tried the temperature and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, the third child, my father's soup is almost cold." ”

Yan Sui snorted and took the opportunity to scoop up a spoonful of scrambled eggs.

Only then did the emperor sigh and said, "Look at the blandness, but it is actually extraordinary." It's hard to imagine that such a clear soup can have such a rich and wonderful taste, and when you take a bite of it, I feel like my heart is ironed a little! ”

Although he originally praised the exquisite dishes, he didn't move the chopsticks, drank half a bowl of soup, and seemed to have an appetite, and ate a few more chopsticks, and praised: "Ordinary side dishes, it shows the skill, and it is really not a woman from the Wen family, Li Xiang, Shan Sikong, Yao Taiwei, try it while it's hot." ”

At this time, several old ministers slowly drank the soup in the bowl and ate a few mouthfuls of food, all with thoughtful expressions on their faces. Wen Zhen was sharp-eyed and found that except for Yan Sui, the rest of the people were eating slowly, as if they were thinking while eating, and the whole dinner table created a happy atmosphere at the beginning, and then naturally turned back to the solemn atmosphere that only had the previous political discussions, and couldn't help pouting.

These men at the top of the empire, in front of her food, can still think about those national events, where is the joy of life?

After Shan Sikong drank the soup, he glanced at the emperor, he was in his early forties, but the emperor's temples were already blooming, his heart moved, and he sighed: "The taste is rich, and the hot soup is in my heart...... Your Majesty, do you still remember the bowl of soup we drank in Tianjing City in the eighteenth year of Jingcheng? ”
