Chapter 152: Obsession

In Liu's opinion, the county lord is already the biggest official in Tanggu, and if he can let the county lord treat him differently, it must be a great official, and he is more careful in his actions.

The ingredients at home are limited, and most of them are vegetables from the vegetable field. The only meat I ate was the fatty pork belly I bought yesterday.

Yu Xiaocao cut off some pork belly, chopped it into meat filling, and cut eggplant and wrapped it in egg flour and fried it into an eggplant box. She estimated that the emperor's taste was too heavy, and she should like this fragrant and crispy eggplant box.

The rest of the pork belly is made into a fat but not greasy, fragrant back to the pot meat. The beans that have just been picked from the ground are stir-fried in lard to make a fragrant "dried carob". Tomatoes with a few eggs, another plate of "scrambled eggs with tomatoes". That's a lot of making up four hot dishes.

Cucumbers and boiled peanuts are made into two cold dishes. If you have two cold dishes, you really can't handle it.

After thinking about it, Xiaocao took five of the spiced duck eggs pickled at home, cooked them and cut them into a plate. The duck eggs are marinated very deliciously, and the yolk of the egg is clearly flowing out of the oil, and it tastes moderately salty and fragrant.

Calculating the time, Songhua eggs should be edible. She picked one of the pine eggs wrapped in mud shells, gently pinched off the mud shells on it, and cracked the eggshells to peel off a dark and shiny pine egg with white patterns on it. Sniff it lightly, and a special fragrance comes to your nose.

She asked Xiaolian, who had just come back, to ride a donkey to the next village to buy a piece of tender tofu and come back. Preserved egg tofu is a simple and delicious dish that is soft and smooth and melts in your mouth. Because of the noble status of the guests to be entertained, she specially made it more exquisite.

She first cut the tender tofu into rectangular pieces and asked Liu to hollow out the tofu pieces. Chop the Songhua eggs and mix with balsamic vinegar, sesame oil and seasonings. Then fill the pieces of Songhua egg into the tofu cubes and garnish with green and red chili crumbs. Absolutely color, smell and taste!

"Girl! Goddaddy is back!! What is delicious, I smelled the fragrance from afar...... "Needless to say, this is the house that has been eating at Xiaocao's house for more than a month, and General Zhenfang has returned." His loud voice often came from afar before he even entered the hospital.

This time, his bold voice stopped abruptly as if someone had choked his neck. At this time, the eyes of the house town were wider than the copper bell, and they were full of disbelief. Rubbing his eyes vigorously, the big Buddha in the courtyard still exists!

"Weichen knocks on the ......" House Town stepped forward in three or two steps, and his tall body knelt in front of the Emperor Taishang like a jade pillar in a mountain of gold, and he was about to say goodbye to the Emperor Taishang, but he was interrupted!

The Emperor Taishang waved one hand at him and said, "Mingzhe! This is not in Beijing, more casually. Come! I'll sit with the fifth master for a while!! "Mingzhe is the word for the house town.

"Too ...... Fifth Master, why did you come to Dongshan Village? Did you hear that my master is here? That's not right! If that's the case, you should be at my master's place, why did you come to Brother Yu's house? The town of the house sat cautiously on the small wooden bench beside the Emperor, with his hands on his knees, like a schoolboy being taught.

Yu Hai, who was turning the soil in the vegetable field in the courtyard, saw the dignified three-grade members, and they all had to kneel and bow to the five masters, and the five masters must have a lot of origins. He guessed in his heart how big an official the fifth master was. Anyway, it seems that the fifth master has no ill will towards the Yu family, which is really lucky!

"Huh? Godfather? Didn't you help Zhang Luo with Grandpa Zhao's matter of welcoming the holy decree? How can you run to my house when you have time? Yu Xiaocao poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled brightly at them.

On her snow-white little face, at some point, a piece of flour was rubbed, not only did it not look sloppy, but it was more playful and cute. The house town faced the delicate goddaughter, and her eyes were so soft that she could drip water.

He smiled softly, and his voice became soft: "Good girl! My father-in-law had a light meal, so I picked some fresh vegetables. ”

"What? Did the father-in-law stay at Zhao's house for dinner? Who gave him the right? The Emperor put away the kind smile on his face, and added a bit of majesty to his voice.

House Town smiled carefully and said, "Five...... Fifth master, at noon, there is no place to eat near Dongshan Village, does it make people go back hungry? Don't blame Grandpa Zhang......"

Emperor Taishang frowned and said, "Dongshan Village is only an hour's journey away from the town. This Zhang Quan is not ignorant of the rules, so he is not afraid of being accused of being close to the minister? ”

"Uh...... Fifth master, it's not so serious, is it? There is no one else in this Dongshan Village, so no one should spread it! A little bead of sweat appeared on the forehead of the house.

"Isn't it possible that no one can see it, so you can make friends with the ministers privately?" Emperor Taishang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said to the guards next to him, "Xiaozhuang, you go and call Zhang Quan for me." Let's just say I'm dining here, and I need someone to serve me! ”

"Yes!" Zhuang Mo, the commander of the guards, was ordered to leave quickly. Calm returned to the courtyard, but the atmosphere was a little still. Yu Hai had already moved the labor battlefield to the gate, for fear of hearing something terrible!

"Let's eat!!" Yu Xiaocao's crisp voice broke the dead silence in the courtyard. The house town felt that there was nothing better than the goddaughter's voice "It's time to eat", which was pleasant to the ear.

The Emperor's brows were instantly smoothed, he snorted, and said, "Chicken stewed mushrooms!" This dish is good, I love it! ”

"Fifth Master, do you want to eat in the house or in the yard?" Yu Xiaocao asked.

Emperor Taishang looked at the crumbling adobe house of the Yu family, pouted and said: "The house is suffocated, and the courtyard is bright, so let's eat in the courtyard!" ”

When Yu Hang heard this, he moved the newly made table at home to the courtyard and found all the stools in the house. Looking at the few big men standing beside the fifth master, he hesitated for a moment and asked Xiaocao in a low voice: "The bench doesn't seem to be enough." Do you want to go to Aunt Zhou's house to borrow some? ”

The Emperor Taishang is not young, but his ears are still sensitive, and he smiled and said, "Don't bother!" They don't eat at the same table as us. Mingzhe, just now the little girl called your godfather. You have a big face, I thought that I wanted to accept this girl as my goddaughter, but she refused! ”

The house town grinned, hehe laughed twice, as if he remembered something, he restrained the smile on his face, and said, "Don't blame the fifth master!" Xiaocao, she is young and ignorant, you can forgive her ignorance! ”

"Slave Zhang Quan, have you seen ......" A sharp and high-pitched voice sounded, and Zhang Quan, who was the father-in-law of the herald, knelt on the ground honestly, his body shaking slightly.

"Alright!!" The Emperor Taishang shouted violently and stopped the title he was about to export, "What are you stunned about? I haven't come to serve yet, I don't have the strength to see! Liu Fusheng is blind, and he accepted you as a godson! ”

Zhang Quan had already sniffed out the Emperor's voice from the mouth of the commander of the guards. At that time, he was covered in a cold sweat. Eunuchs befriend powerful ministers, this is a felony to kill the head! also blamed him, when he came, the emperor told him to have a good relationship with General Zhao, and he was so proud for a while that he almost committed a heinous crime! Fortunately, the Emperor Taishang announced him. The Emperor Taishang is really his reborn parents, a life-saver!

"Come, come! Don't stand still!! Mingzhe, Xiaoyu, and that little girl all came over to accompany the fifth master to dinner!! The Emperor glared at Zhang Quan, then ignored him, his eyes attracted by the familiar smell on the table.

Zhu Deyong was also an officer with great achievements in the Republic in his previous life, and he didn't have any other hobbies, so he was a little obsessed with eating. After passing through, I have been fighting for many years, and it would be good to be able to fill my stomach, so how can I care about anything else?

After ascending the throne, the imperial chef in the palace was also good. Maybe it's because he still thinks about his past life, and he always feels that any food doesn't taste right. It's a pity that neither he nor the current emperor, the two big men, can cook, so he is even more obsessed with pursuing the taste of his past life.

Decades have passed, and many familiar tastes from previous lives have slowly faded with memories. thought that he would never have the opportunity to taste the taste of his hometown in this life, but he didn't expect that in this poor courtyard, his obsession could finally be satisfied.

"It's all home-cooked food, don't dislike it, don't dislike it, let's deal with it!" Yu Xiaocao took the preserved egg tofu and gently placed it in front of the emperor.

The light in Zhu Deyong's eyes became brighter, and he smiled like an old fox: "Little girl, you can even make out pine eggs, and you still say that you can't be a fan?" Don't try to lie to me, Fifth Master, my eyes are bright! ”

"Songhua eggs? Girl, can we eat Songhua eggs? "The dock was busy, and the house town almost forgot about this stubble, and he stared at the delicate and delicious preserved egg tofu in front of the emperor, and he could hardly hold back to taste it.

Xiaocao brought all the dishes to the table, and was about to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes of the guards to them, but was stopped by the emperor: "Little girl, you are busy all day." Come, sit next to the fifth master and eat something. They have their own hands and feet, and when they are hungry, they will find their own food! ”

Emperor Taishang has already named him, only House Town, Yu Hai, and Yu Xiaocao have this honor to accompany Emperor Taishang to dine. Zhang Quan stood next to him, holding a new pair of chopsticks, and was about to try a piece of eggplant box.

"Wait! You don't need to try the dishes here, go and go to the kitchen with Zhuang Commander and lead them to the kitchen! "The Emperor Taishang still trusts the Yu family, and it is a redundant move to try the dishes, so he will not allow one more person to share his food!

Zhang Quan responded obediently. I think a little more highly of the Yu family in my heart, there are probably not many people in the world who can make the Emperor Taishang trust so much, right?

"Preserved egg tofu! I haven't eaten it in decades! I've forgotten what it tastes like! The Emperor gently picked up a piece of tofu full of preserved eggs, opened his big mouth, and stuffed it all in at once. The tender egg aroma of tofu, the long-lost taste, made Zhu Deyong almost shed a few heroic tears.

The house looked at the Emperor Taishang earnestly, seeing that he was enjoying his face, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and his heart was anxious - it was really so delicious, so delicious that the Emperor Taishang cried?
