Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Imperial Chef's Dim Sum
Mr. Borong was a figure of a sage she had admired for a long time in her previous life.
She has admired the name for a long time, but she has never met her. And by the time she wanted to see her, Mr. Borong was already dying of old age and would soon die.
In her previous life, she had never had the opportunity to meet, and now if she can meet Mr. Borong, even if she is old, Mr. Borong's body should still be very healthy. And there are some old things about Empress Chen, she also wants to ask this Mr. Borong......
Speaking of Mr. Borong, he is also a strange woman. She was the first female gentleman of the Zhou Dynasty to be crowned by the imperial seal.
Thinking that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, under the superiority of men and women, there was a female teacher who was called "Mr.", what a powerful person.
I heard that Mr. Borong was a famous talented woman in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty when she was young, and then she had a bumpy love road and never married. Her talent was valued by Empress Chen, and she personally invited her to the palace to teach knowledge.
Mr. Borong won the trust of Empress Chen, and taught the princesses to learn and learn in the palace. Later, when Mr. Borong was old and planned to go home to recuperate in his old age, he asked Empress Chen to resign.
Empress Chen personally went to ask the emperor to give her a holy decree to name her the word "sir", and also sent a large number of rewards, so she was sent home to be honored.
Mr. Borong was the first female gentleman in the Zhou Dynasty to be recognized by the royal family, and then there were talented and knowledgeable women who entered the palace to continue to teach the princess and the daughters of the royal relatives.
Up and down, gradually the Zhou Dynasty women's reading atmosphere became stronger and stronger.
And she found Qu Fuzi as a recommendation, naturally she heard about Qu Fuzi from a domestic servant in her previous life.
It turned out that Qu Fuzi's family was poor when he was young, and he once went to Mr. Borong's house to do a day job. Seeing that he was thin but quick to learn, Mr. Borong relieved him of his heavy labor and instructed him to read a few books at his leisure.
Qu Fuzi was diligent and hardworking, and taught himself while doing short-term work. Later, after being a child, he was also old, and he felt that the imperial examination was hopeless, so he went to teach.
On the one hand, he restricts his ability to support his family, and on the other hand, he is grateful for Mr. Borong's good deeds of teaching and educating people, and he also wants to repay the villagers.
Although Qu Fuzi is not a student of Mr. Borong's Eight Classics, he can be regarded as a teacher.
Now that Qu Fuzi saw that Sheng Rujin wanted to worship Mr. Borong as a teacher, although he felt a little strange in his heart, he was not suspicious.
What was strange to him was that few people knew that Mr. Borong was his own teacher, because it involved his poor background, Mr. Borong did not mention it, and the Qu family did not take the initiative to tell outsiders.
How could Sheng Rujin know about this?
However, Qu Fuzi has always been silent about other things besides teaching. Naturally, he would not pursue these trivial matters.
Sheng Rujin got the result she wanted, and her heart was very comfortable. Sheng Rulan, who was eavesdropping not far away, glanced at each other and the Cai sisters and quietly left.
……
One day, when the class of the private school was over, Sheng Rujin came out, the sky was already full of red clouds, and the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry.
Sheng Ruyue and Sheng Ruyuan had already gone back. Sheng Rulan naturally disappeared.
Sheng Rujin was about to get into the carriage with the support of Qinglan.
Suddenly, a little guy in a green coat and a small hat popped out of the sloping ground. The little guy was still holding a red box of vermilion lacquer in his hand.
Sheng Rujin was taken aback and was about to scold.
The little guy in Tsing Yi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Miss Sheng, this is a small snack from our son-in-law." All of them were made by the royal chef who has the reputation of "the king of famous spots" in the palace. Please take it. ”
Sheng Rujin frowned. Qinglan next to her scolded unceremoniously: "Who is your son-in-law?"
The little girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly said: "My son-in-law is Murong Gongzi. The child's name is secret, and the little one dare not say it. ”
Sheng Rujin was slightly surprised, Prince Canaan?
Qing Lan hurriedly looked at this young man in Tsing Yi carefully, and sure enough, she saw what he was wearing, and what he was holding in his hand were embroidered with the decorations of the Murong family's mark.
Qing Lan said in a low voice: "Miss, it is indeed from Murong Mansion. Can't be wrong. And the man who drove the carriage saw it in Tianyizhai. ”
Sheng Rujin said to the little girl in Tsing Yi: "Why did your son-in-law ask you to deliver snacks?"
The little girl in Tsing Yi immediately said: "That's the case, my son-in-law admires you in my heart, I heard that the eldest lady of the Sheng family is very hard to go to private school after getting well today, and I am worried that the eldest lady is hungry in your stomach, so I specially asked the little one to send snacks, and I hope that the eldest lady will accept it with a smile." ”
Admiration in the heart?
Sky! I've never heard of a guy sent to confess in broad daylight. Is this Canaanite son stupid or stupid?
There was silence all around.
Qing Lan and a few maids blushed when they heard this. Even the stupid Cui Ying laughed on the side, as if she understood.
Sheng Rujin only felt angry and funny.
She only made the bet that day to get the inkstone. Fools know that she did it on purpose, and she didn't mean it to Murong Yangfeng at all.
Now Murong Yangfeng has moved his heart to let the little guy come to send him industriously?
Sheng Rujin was about to refuse, but suddenly, she smiled: "It's hard for the son of Canaan to be so hearty, I accepted the dim sum ." But you go back and tell your son-in-law, men and women don't kiss, and I am a young lady in the boudoir, and my reputation is greater than the sky, so don't do it again in the future. ”
The little guy in Tsing Yi nodded again and again. He presented the snack box and hurried away.
Sheng Rujin opened the box in the carriage, and suddenly a strange fragrance came to his nose.
Qinglan next to her immediately praised: "It's so fragrant and beautiful!"
Sheng Rujin looked at it, and it was indeed the handiwork of the palace chef.
There are four layers of vermilion lacquer food box in front of you, red lacquer camphor wood is the box, and the Qingzhou white porcelain that is as white as jade in the middle is covered, there are square jade bowls in the white porcelain, and there are four kinds of fancy snacks in the jade bowl.
The red one is a mille-feuille rose crisp, which is made into a flower-shaped, with the first goose yellow stamen in the middle. I don't know how the imperial kitchen does it, the mille-feuille layer of crispy and thin layers is crispy and constant. There is also a faint floral fragrance in the dim sum dyed red by the flower color.
The green one is the jade xiaolongbao, and the xiaolongbao is only one, with transparent and turquoise skin, like a good jadeite.
The blue dim sum is exquisite, and the dim sum in the crystal clear soup is made into a lively blue goldfish, and the soup noodles are sprinkled with flower petal fragments, like a small fish swimming in a jade pond.
The white is the plum blossom-shaped custard, each delicate and chic, I don't know what the sweet juice is made of next to the custard, the sweet juice is milky white, very appetizing.
There are three floors underneath, each with four different dim sums.
Forty-six. There are a total of 16 kinds of dim sum, all of which are delicate and delicate, salty, sweet, sour and spicy.
Sheng Rujin picked a few things and tasted them, and her eyebrows couldn't help but stretch.
Sure enough, it is a dim sum made by the great chef in the palace, which is completely different from the one outside the palace
For example, the simplest mille-feuille rose cake only adds a little rose honey to the puff pastry, while the whole puff pastry made by the royal chef is made by steaming and brewing with rose juice and then boiling honey. The fragrance of flowers is tangy, the food is not astringent, and it is very palatable.
The little blue goldfish is pinched out of some powder, and the bite is soft but not sticky to the teeth, and there is osmanthus nectar in the belly of the fish. The sweet soup is even more refreshing and sweet, and it seems to be a sweet soup made of some kind of sweetness.
In short, each type of dim sum has its own merits.
