213, the emperor arrives (2)
Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly came, but open the door to do business, welcome guests from all directions, and make money from all directions, whether you are the emperor or not, come and come, since you want to hide your identity, then I will only treat you as an ordinary guest and satisfy your appetite.
Liu Jiaojiao's mentality is very good, but Niu Haoran is scared out of his head.
As the only one in the know, he would never dare to reveal the emperor's arrival to the rest of the shop.
First, the identity of the emperor is too special, and the fewer people who know it, the better; Second, Liu Jiaojiao's identity is too special, in case she is taken by the emperor, it is not that Qingxinfang will lose its backbone from now on, but that you can't go to a place like the harem at all.
Those rich people have three wives and four concubines in their families who have already made the backyard into a miasma, and there are hundreds of women in the harem who rob the emperor alone, so you can imagine how terrible the struggle will be.
What's more, there is Liu Jun.
He basically crossed the road in front of everyone, and everyone was waiting to drink the two of them in the future. Although Liu Jun is missing now, he cares so much about Liu Jiaojiao, he will definitely come back, if he comes back, he finds that Liu Jiaojiao was forced to enter the palace......
I can't think about it anymore, the consequences are terrible.
With Liu Jun's character, maybe he used his good skills to sneak into the palace and steal people, which is equivalent to a big incident, the kind of big thing that robs the family and exterminates the clan.
Therefore, Niu Haoran was so anxious in his heart, but no one could say anything, and he felt that he was about to be forced to close himself.
Bringing the emperor to the restaurant, you must choose the most luxurious box on the third floor, anyway, Gu Tingfeng has a token in hand, and he doesn't need to spend another money.
Is this considered a ruthless slaughter of that little girl who is a money fan? Thinking of the 1,000 taels of silver that he was defrauded for no reason, now he can be regarded as seeing the money back.
Happy, so happy.
Of course, if there was no big Buddha sitting next to Gu Tingjun, he would be even happier.
As an old frequent visitor to Qingxinfang as his own canteen, Gu Tingfeng ordered six dishes that were enough for two people to eat, and asked the guy to brew a pot of chrysanthemum and flower tea to cool off, and then said to Gu Tingjun: "Emperor...... Brother, although there is all kinds of tea in the restaurant, my brother recommends that you drink their homemade tea, which will have more flavor. ”
Gu Tingjun didn't have any opinions, and bowed his head slightly in agreement.
Soon, chrysanthemum and flower tea were sent in by the guys. Different from the common way of brewing tea in the market, instead of brewing it in a pot and then pouring it into a cup, a special set of tea sets is served.
The pot is still a common round teapot, the whole body is white, and a few blooming yellow chrysanthemums and flowers are carefully carved on it, but the cup is completely different from the common one, only equipped with two, and it is the kind of overall cylindrical cup, not an ordinary open small teacup.
The cup and teapot are matched at a glance, the same white, and a blooming yellow chrysanthemum and flower are carved under each cup, which just corresponds to the teapot.
Gu Tingjun became interested, opened the lid of the teapot and took a look inside, but found that there was only boiling water inside, and he didn't see anything else at all, so he couldn't help but look at Gu Tingfeng suspiciously.
What about the chrysanthemum and flower tea? Does it mean those chrysanthemums and flowers carved on the cup?
Gu Tingfeng waved to the guy standing on the side with a swaggering face, and the guy immediately smiled and handed over a small jar and a pair of clean chopsticks.
He took the jar and opened it, then picked up a yellow thing with his chopsticks and put it in the cup, put one in one cup, and then returned the jar and chopsticks to the man, and he picked up the teapot and poured the boiling water into the two cups.
When the water in the cup was poured into the eight points full, Gu Tingjun, who had been paying attention to the cup, suddenly widened his eyes.
What Gu Tingfeng put into the cup turned out to be dried chrysanthemums and flowers, and as the water in the cup increased, the dried chrysanthemums and flowers absorbed the water, and they slowly became enriched, and finally turned into a complete chrysanthemum and flower, as if they had just bloomed.
Gu Tingjun thought for a moment that he had seen a miracle.
Gu Tingfeng sent a cup of brewed chrysanthemum and flower tea to him with both hands, and explained with a smile: "Brother, this chrysanthemum is called Golden Silk Chrysanthemum, which has the effect of dissipating wind and relieving fever, clearing the liver and brightening the eyes. ”
Thank you for this messy era, so it should have been discovered by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Huang Tingjian, and then the golden silk chrysanthemum that was paid tribute to the imperial court was not discovered by anyone, only when it was an ordinary ornamental chrysanthemum, and it didn't even have a nice name, so Liu Jiaojiao directly occupied its invention rights and let it appear in this world. New Lewen
It's just that there is an emperor in the original flower name, and I am afraid that there will be any taboos, so I removed this word and changed it to golden chrysanthemum.
Gu Tingjun lowered his head and looked carefully at the chrysanthemum and flower that bloomed in the water, golden as gold, and the petals were really as thin as golden threads, worthy of the name golden chrysanthemum.
I took a sip of the cup gently, and there was a faint bitterness in my mouth, but the aftertaste was extremely sweet, and I felt comfortable in my throat when I drank it.
He couldn't help but nod and said approvingly: "This tea is really good, Gong ...... You can have some at home. ”
Both of them are extremely unaccustomed to it, one almost called the imperial brother directly, and the other almost said it directly in the palace, in this regard, it can be proved that these two people are indeed brothers.
Gu Tingfeng nodded hurriedly in response, but his heart began to become entangled.
Liu Jiaojiao has long said that the tea in the store will never be taken out, but now that the emperor has asked for it, why does he have to get some to go back to pay the errand? It seems that he has to spend his own money to buy it, and it is estimated that he will have to put on a bunch of good words, otherwise the girl will definitely not sell it to him.
He must be the worst prince since ancient times, right? It's just a matter of being bullied by the emperor, and you have to be bullied by a little girl, hey!
Soon, the ordered six dishes were sent to the box one by one.
All of them were improved dishes that Gu Tingjun had never seen before, and after he tasted them one by one, he looked at Gu Tingfeng's eyes with a hint of jealousy.
He is the Son of Heaven, rich all over the world, but none of the idle princes eat well, and even an ordinary person in the capital can't compare, but he knows how good Qingxinfang's daily business is.
Are all the imperial dining rooms in the palace messy? There are so many imperial chefs, all of whom say that they are excellent cooks, but in the end they can't even compare to a private restaurant, are they worthy of his reward?
Gu Tingfeng didn't know that his imperial brother already had the urge to drag the people in the imperial dining room out to play the board, so he ate happily, of course, he didn't forget to give the imperial brother a detailed introduction to the ingredients and characteristics of each dish, he was completely a qualified gourmet.
He ate happily, but Gu Tingjun became more and more unhappy the more he ate.
Without him, compared with the dishes in the imperial dining room, the dishes in this restaurant are too much in terms of color, aroma, and taste, and the more he eats, the more he feels that what he used to eat is.
How can such a capable chef bury the people? The imperial dining room should be the best place for him to shine and heat.
Thinking like this, Gu Tingjun put down his chopsticks, took a sip of chrysanthemum and flower tea from the teacup, and said, "The cook you invited is not bad." ”
Gu Tingfeng's hand that was holding the vegetables slammed down, and he instantly felt that the food in his mouth was not fragrant.
The emperor will only say half a sentence when he makes a request, and the rest has to be figured out by yourself, and there may not be a reward for figuring out the right one, but if you figure it out wrong, hehe, understand this place at noon.
Gu Tingfeng must be able to figure it out correctly, but it was precisely because he guessed the emperor's thoughts that he felt uneasy in his heart.
According to his character as an imperial brother, he must be waiting for him to take the initiative to call the chef to give a reward, and then he has to obediently send the chef to the imperial dining room, so that the imperial brother can enjoy such a delicacy every day.
Who made him emperor? All the good things in the world belong to him, including the good cook.
What to do? Liu Jiaojiao is a woman, and she is also an authentic lady, so she can't send a daughter to the imperial dining room full of men to be a cook, right?
And she is a member of the Xie family, the emperor is very suspicious and sick, and he will definitely think about a lot, when the time comes, what is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime? Who made the Xie family a thorn in his side?
There is also the most critical point, the current Liu Jiaojiao is disguised, if she does not show her true face in front of the Son of Heaven, it is a bully, but if she shows her true appearance, she will properly enter the harem with her outstanding appearance!
Ahh What should he do to dispel the emperor's thoughts and keep his only friend!
Little girl, it's really tiring to be friends with you, and this king's hair is about to fall out!
