Chapter 120: Food grabs people's hearts
"Your Majesty." Yu Xizhou knelt down fiercely. "I only feel very heartbroken when I heard that you imprisoned Princess Qi Cane, she was imprisoned in a cold palace, and I don't know if I can eat enough."
I didn't hear the emperor's reprimand, Yu Xizhou said boldly: "I'm just afraid that Princess Qi Cane will come hungry, and when I saw the lock, I didn't think much about cutting off and letting the princess out to eat." Your Majesty, if you have any anger, just send it to me. ”
"Please ask the emperor to condemn the crime." Shen Nanfeng knelt down.
After all, it was their fault, and it was on other people's territory, and Shen Nanfeng was also groveling.
"You ......" The emperor was choked by their singing and harmony, and could only look at Qi Cane with hatred of iron and steel.
The peace treaty had just been signed, and the emperor did not want to tear up the contract. He rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed. "I heard that Mrs. Shen Shizi's cooking skills are really good, even if there was a shortage of food and grass when I was in the barracks, I never starved the soldiers, and I was also very novel."
Steps, this is the emperor gave me steps.
"In that case, can you ask Mrs. Shizi to make a few dishes on the spot? The first is to let me have a long insight, and the second is to serve Princess Qi Cane's Five Organs Temple. ”
The emperor is not embarrassed, if he directly releases people, he will have no face as the emperor, and if he does not release people, he will destroy the relationship between the two countries, this step is very good.
In fact, the emperor is most curious about Xizhou's cooking skills, so he asks Yu Xizhou to cook under his nose. Of course he won't say it, he's been curious for a long time, and this is a good opportunity.
Thinking of Qi Cane's disobedience today, the emperor glanced at his daughter arrogantly.
Qi Can's eyes rolled, the emperor's meaning couldn't be more obvious, it must be fine. She approached Yu Xizhou and nodded, and told Yu Xizhou with her eyes that she agreed.
"Since the emperor looks up to Xizhou, then Xizhou is not hypocritical, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, and Xizhou will be ugly in a while." Yu Xizhou quickly agreed.
The steps given by the emperor, if you don't go down, you're a fool. She has already begun to think about what to give the emperor to eat, and it must be to make him feel that she has eaten a pound.
Shen Nanfeng is not a fool either, he nodded frequently. "Thank the emperor for his love."
The emperor waved his hand to make everyone stand up, and then led people to the imperial kitchen.
Cooking is Yu Xizhou's specialty, and she gave Shen Nanfeng a reassuring look and went directly into the kitchen. But I don't know if I don't enter, and I'm shocked when I enter.
"The decoration and smoke extraction system of this royal kitchen are completely superb, and the appliances are also very complete, very exquisite and chic. It seems that the imperial chef of the dynasty is very happy, and the emperor is also a person who understands food. ”
Yu Xizhou frequently admired, kept stretching out her thumb, and searched her intestines and stomach to say all the beautiful words she would have.
"Your Majesty, you should have asked Xizhou to take a look at this imperial kitchen a long time ago, and it can be regarded as learning from experience." She looked at the emperor with a smile.
I saw that the emperor's complexion finally became a little better, and his mood seemed to be much more relaxed, which showed that Yu Xizhou's sycophants were very useful.
The sycophant worked, and Yu Xizhou also put her mind at ease, understanding that the emperor of the dynasty was just testing her.
At this point, she just wants to settle down and think about what to cook next.
The chefs in the imperial kitchen gave her a big hand, waiting for her to give her orders. And Yu Xizhou touched his chin and looked at the ingredients.
She didn't know what the emperor liked to eat, it was so embarrassing. If you want to shoot the fart, you have to shoot it in the right place, she rubbed her head in annoyance, it was really not professional enough.
Forget it, so be it. It would be nice to make a few that they haven't eaten!
Yu Xizhou finally moved, she quickly selected the ingredients, and methodically instructed the assistants to work.
The smell of food wafted out of the kitchen, and the emperor felt that his five internal organs temple also began to drum, and the taste was really too tempting.
"Qi Cane, why don't you hurry up and go down to freshen up and dress up for dinner, don't you want to eat like this?"
These words not only forgave Qi Cane, but also said it to Shen Nanfeng, after all, the prince of another country was still wearing the clothes of the palace people.
Shen Nanfeng also retreated, and he was grateful for Xizhou's superb cooking skills. He could clearly see the slight change in surprise on the emperor's face, it seemed that the magic of food was really beyond the comprehension of a mortal like him.
Xizhou, Xizhou, you are such an amazing person. His face was full of smugness, and his heart was full of that person was his person.
Yu Xizhou, who was immersed in cooking, had no idea that she was being regarded as a magician, and she was fighting against the dishes.
The dishes were brought out, and she wiped her sweat and exhaled deeply.
You must like it!
After bathing and changing clothes, she came to the banquet, and the others waited for the emperor to take his seat.
Banquet opening.
"Would you like to introduce me to these dishes?" The emperor was the first to speak.
"Yes." Yu Xizhou stood up, rolled up his sleeves and began to introduce: "This dish is a camellia balls made on the battlefield before, which indicates the peace between the Chao Kingdom and the Shen Kingdom. 186 Chinese Network
The emperor's complexion has not changed, because the court is in front.
"And this dish is called Sanba and Four Beans, that is, there are three processes, not the folk Sanba?" She couldn't help but joke.
I only heard that everyone in the banquet began to laugh, and the emperor was very embarrassed.
"Please atone for the emperor's sins, the wife of this son is just naughty, in fact, she doesn't mean to collide with the Yellow Emperor." Shen Nanfeng hurriedly stood up and played a round game. "Her little head is full of ingredients, and she really has no ink on her chest."
The emperor nodded and said no more, and everyone lowered their heads.
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Yu Xizhou was also frightened, and he was really excited.
"The next thing is called the three freshness of the earth, and everything in the world is grateful for the gift of the earth. This dish is chopped pepper fish head, this dish is white chopped chicken ......" Yu Xizhou introduced the names of various dishes, and only hoped that the Northeast cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Thai food she made would make the emperor happy.
After the introduction, the emperor took the lead in tasting the three bars and green beans, which seemed to prove that he was not angry. His eyes lit up immediately, the taste of the dish was really novel, he had never tasted it, sweet and spicy, and very inclusive.
Qi Su understood the emperor, and she winked at Yu Xizhou, proving that the emperor was in a good mood now.
Next, the emperor tasted many dishes, which came from the north and south, which were inclusive and could also fill people's taste buds, which was the magic of food.
The emperor tasted every dish lightly, wiped his mouth and gave a thumbs up with a smile.
"Mrs. Shen Shizi's cooking skills are really superb, as if they are full of magic. No wonder everyone is impressed by your cooking skills. ”
By...... Conquered? The emperor was so impressed by Yu Xizhou's cooking skills that he completely forgot what happened just now.
"Thank you for the emperor's compliment, it's my honor to cook for you." Yu Xizhou looked at the emperor gratefully, and her heart was also frightened, fortunately, this matter passed, otherwise she was really scared to death.
The emperor didn't care about the ancestral system, he tasted every dish again, and even added half a bowl of rice for the sake of the three freshnesses.
"Thank goodness." The old eunuch looked at Yu Xizhou with teary eyes next to him and thanked him: "Mrs. Shizi, thank you for saving the emperor's taste buds, for the sake of the war, the emperor has not eaten a full meal for many days." ”
The emperor coughed embarrassedly, and Yu Xizhou returned a smile without saying more.
Everyone was full of wine and food, and the dishes on the table were eaten with soup and water left, which was not like the practice of the people in the court, it was completely like a refugee.
However, even the emperor didn't care about the food in front of him, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring down the plate.
"Madame Shizi is really a magician, my taste buds are impressed." The emperor did not hesitate to praise Yu Xizhou.
Yu Xizhou looked at the emperor with a smile on his face, and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, there are three snacks coming up next, don't be surprised too early." ”
She clapped her hands, and the three palace maids came out with plates, first offering the appetizers she had made.
The bright red flowers bloomed in front of the emperor, and his eyes flickered slightly, and he liked the sweet and sour taste very much. He couldn't wait to taste it, the sour taste exploded in his mouth, and his appetite suddenly increased.
Originally, he ate too much meat and was greasy enough, but he didn't expect that after eating this appetizer cake, he felt that he could eat 20,000 rice again.
"Exquisite, this appetizer cake is not only exquisitely shaped, but also tastes very sweet and sour, and even satisfying."
"Your Majesty, there are two more to follow." Yu Xizhou clapped his hands, and the palace people served the second dessert - peony flower balls.
This is a sweet dish made with glutinous rice, but glutinous rice is difficult to joke about and sticky. Tired, so she served hawthorn cake for the emperor to appetize.
"Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. Please ask the emperor to taste the peony flower cake. ”
The emperor looked at the peony petals wrapped under the thin skin of the high point, and his heart was amazed, this is not only a gastrointestinal trip, but also an audio-visual feast.
After one bite, the soft glutinous rice completely fills the mouth. The taste of peony flowers explodes in the mouth, and the sweet and sour feeling just now is completely filled with sweetness, but it is not sticky. It's greasy, it's refreshing.
The emperor only felt very novel, and couldn't help but eat one more.
"The next dish is the Sydney Cup, which has the effect of moisturizing and drying, clearing heat and dissolving phlegm, which is very suitable for autumn consumption." Yu Xizhou's crisp voice sounded again.
A few pears that had been dug into cups were brought up, which was a bit mysterious.
Yu Xizhou smiled faintly, took off the lid of the pear cup one by one, and a burst of sweetness slowly floated out.
Shen Nanfeng's mood at the moment was a little weird, he hadn't enjoyed these before, and he was preempted by the emperor of the dynasty, which was really a little unpleasant.
Although the emperor has eaten enough, but the fragrance of Sydney pears wafted out, he couldn't help but pick up the spoon and take a bite, the original crisp taste of Sydney pears disappeared after steaming and stewing, replaced by a soft feeling, this sweet dish can be eaten without teeth at all.
"Princess Shen, are you a person with magic?" The emperor of Chaoguo suddenly put the spoon down and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone at the banquet was shocked, what did the emperor mean by this? Then, their eyes fell on Xizhou.
