Chapter 312: Cooking
"But what you look like isn't the same thing as what you say." King Rong did not let go of Prime Minister Mo.
"Is there one? This is to ask the prince to blame, I don't know anything about dancing or anything, so I naturally can't appreciate the beautiful dancing of these women, in the end, my appearance is too dull, no wonder. Prime Minister Mo easily escaped King Rong's questioning.
With Prime Minister Mo's watertight answer, King Rong naturally couldn't please anything.
Others naturally laughed, and a prime minister said that he was stupid, isn't this a joke, so someone laughed and said: "The prime minister's wife should be able to serve the family law, so the prime minister has to not know how to appreciate it." ”
Prime Minister Mo thought that his wife was like that, but she was not a woman, but she really didn't refuse. just said bitterly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Even the prime minister is like this. ”
After Prime Minister Mo Cheng said this, in the end, there were fewer people who paid attention to the dancing girl. Today's protagonist is not these dancing girls, but King Erong sitting on it.
"Haha." The ministers laughed, this time was not in the court, they all knew that there was no need to be so serious.
King Rong also reluctantly smiled a little, but he was unhappy in his heart, his home field let this old guy take the lead.
"Alright, alright. The family affairs of other prime ministers are not something we can know. So next, you can taste the delicacies of my Rongwang Mansion. Someone to serve the food. ”
The maidservants who had been waiting for a long time immediately walked in in rows, each of them holding a plate of dishes in their hands, the dishes were very gorgeous, but they couldn't see what the raw materials of this dish were.
Everyone is still interested in the delicacies in King Rong's mouth, people are always the color of food, and food is still at the beginning, and it can be seen that people's love and expectation for food. Because the feeling of seeing the food in front of you is not the same as the feeling of putting it in the mouth, no matter how busy people are on a normal day, there is always plenty of time to enjoy these artificial wisdom.
There are two plates on each table, which looks like no more, no less, just one plate for each person, and the amount on it is also a little, no more, no less.
As soon as this dish was put on the table, some people immediately began to comment on it.
"This dish smells like a floral and medicinal fragrance. It's really strange, and it's quite strange that this main dish is carved like this. ”
Looking at the delicacy, I saw that there were a few bright flowers on it, and there were faint drops of water on the flowers, I don't know whether it was the water added later or the dew drops on the freshly picked flowers, and the main thing was not this, but the young yellow butterfly narrator. Yes, that's right, it's a butterfly, or a butterfly in the middle of a plate that is about to spread its wings. The crystal wings flew up and froze in the air, as if someone had directly cast a spell on that moment. Everything is so natural and wonderful.
But as long as you take a closer look at the butterfly, not only the movements on the body or the crystal wings are actually wonderful knife work, and the whole butterfly is tender yellow, in fact, it is carved directly from the ingredients such a butterfly, a thing that can be called a work of art.
"Lord Wang, this cook is amazing, with such powerful knife skills and control, it is a miracle to be able to carve such a butterfly in a whole piece of tooth jade."
Tooth jade is not a type of jade, but the name of this carved ingredient, which comes from the soil, and is indeed a rare thing, because the survival rate is not large. It is a kind of medicinal herb, which is good for the stomach and intestines. It can also be eaten. Chew it like crispy bamboo shoots, but it is more refreshing than crispy bamboo shoots, and there is a fragrance of teeth when eating, and there are many reasons for the name tooth jade, plus tooth jade because it is crisp, so you have to pay attention to the shape of tooth jade when cooking with this. Therefore, this kind of craftsmanship that can be carved into such a fine animal will be even more precious.
Prince Rong, who was praised as a cook, also showed an expression of honor and disgrace and accepted everyone's praise.
Even Prime Minister Mo and General Zhao did give a thumbs up like the cook when they saw this scene, which was a step higher than the imperial chef in the palace, but they would not give King Rong verbal praise.
"Then let's try it." As the host of this party, King Rong naturally wanted the host to speak first before it was the turn of the guests to do it.
After saying this, King Rong took a piece of the butterfly's wings and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in enjoyment under the gaze of everyone. It only made the people present swallow their saliva without feeling it intuitively, and their expectations for this dish have gone up again.
"This king won't comment on this taste first, everyone can only really get the position after you have tasted it yourself, Prime Minister, please."
Prime Minister Mo Cheng is the person with the biggest official position except for King Rong, although this gathering said that everyone should forget about the things in the officialdom, of course, no one will forget. So now everyone's eyes are on Prime Minister Mo again.
Although he doesn't want to fall behind King Rong, he doesn't involve anything else, and Prime Minister Mo himself is also willing to be this second person.
So he gently picked up a piece of wing and put it in his mouth. General Zhao followed. The other ministers saw that Prime Minister Mo and General Zhao had already used them, and the movements of their hands began to speed up, just to let their tongues enjoy the food as soon as possible.
At this time, Prime Minister Mo had already finished digesting the tooth jade in his mouth.
"That's good." Prime Minister Mo raised his eyebrows at General Zhao, showing that he felt good.
"It's true, this is a little different from the usual tooth jade, and the taste is even more crispy, it should be added to your own cheats, but this taste really can't be eaten\/"
"If it can be eaten by a rough person like you so easily, what kind of cheat is it?" Prime Minister Mo shook his head, he didn't have anything to eat this taste completely, but it added a lot of fragrance to the tooth jade. It seems that this cook is also a real person.
"What do you call me a rough man, really. You're not a literati either. General Zhao wrinkled his nose, and he also looked down on Prime Minister Mo.
However, the battle between the two was naturally selectively ignored by everyone. Instead, focus your attention on the dish in front of you.
So the dish would soon disappear from the table and all end up in the stomachs of those present.
"How's it going, guys?"
"Naturally, King Rong, the chef in your house is a miracle, this level must be comparable to the imperial chef in the palace."
King Rong is now a soldier for things related to Nangong Tian. Now it's just a minister's casual remarks, and he feels that this minister is saying that what he is doing now is to offend Nangong Tian, the emperor, and he will eat better than Nangong Tian, who is the emperor.
"Oh, how is it possible, this man is nothing more than a folk cook. But it was encountered when the king was in exile. In fact, it can't be compared with the imperial kitchen in the palace at all, but there are just some carving insect skills. ”
"Hmm." When the minister thought about it, he really couldn't say that. The chef in the palace is also a person with face, and if he is said by himself, isn't it all over.
"It's Weichen who said it wrong, and he should be beaten." The minister smiled and was ready to expose the topic. Unexpectedly, King Rong actually had his own interruptions.
"Although this person's cooking skills are not comparable to the imperial chefs of the palace, this is also a representative of folk cooks. The king is going to dedicate this chef to the emperor as a birthday gift. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at King Rong in disbelief and gave a person to the emperor as a gift, no matter how you look at it, this idea feels incredible. How could King Rong have come up with such an idea.
"Does the prince mean to dedicate this person's cooking skills to the emperor?" Some people speculated on this, and they just guessed what King Rong was thinking.
"Lord Wang, isn't this a little inappropriate. Although this person's craftsmanship is a little outstanding, it will be qualified to be a gift from the prince, not to mention a gift to the emperor. ”
"Yes, and if it is to offer his cooking skills, it is a very important thing, this person's background is clear, innocent, don't let other people who have ill intentions towards the emperor enter."
.......
"Well, the king knows what you are worried about. As the emperor's uncle and a member of the royal family, how could this king be so careless about letting in people who have the opportunity to harm the emperor. ”
Everyone: If it is the person recommended by King Rong, they are really not sure, whether this person is deliberately arranged by King Rong to do something to the emperor, you must know that there has never been such a thing before, but King Rong knows about Nangong Tian and the attempt to take the throne.
If King Rong knew what they were thinking now, he would only cry silently in his heart, and he would know that his long-term goals and ideals were interrupted by Nangong Tian, a little hairy child, and he was also very angry, but he really didn't dare to do something to Nangong Tian now, and he had to prevent others from hurting him. Otherwise, he would have gone to such great lengths to make this or something, what the cook does.
"Besides, the person recommended by this king, the details are naturally checked by this king, and he must and will definitely be innocent, and this king will not dig a pit to bury himself."
The crowd didn't know what to say anymore, and King Rong changed his attitude too quickly, and they didn't know if they should believe it. Prime Minister Mo and General Zhao also put their puzzled eyes on King Rong. Although they knew that something had happened between King Rong and the emperor that made King Rong bow his head, but King Rong had already accepted his fate, so what are they doing today, thinking about the Qi King of the Law, but in fact, people are no longer considered enemies. No, no, King Rong may just be confusing them. Even if it's not like this, King Rong himself is very annoying, so there is nothing wrong with small schemes or something.
