Chapter 39: Eaten Up

"This tastes ......" At the moment, Huo Sisi's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

She couldn't understand why she could make it so delicious with just Chinese cabbage, oil and a pinch of salt!

In fact, what she tasted was just soup, and the taste was not strong. After Lin Zifan's simplification, the Phnom Penh cabbage is to conquer others with its light, crisp and tender taste, and the essence is not in the soup, but in the cabbage itself!

There is no woman in Datang who does not have some strength on her body, even if she is a palace maid who passes dishes, her speed is extremely fast.

The cabbage in Phnom Penh and the dishes made by the two imperial chefs Li and Feng were sent to the empress's Qifeng Pavilion in just one or two minutes.

In Qifeng Pavilion, the empress was bored, and when she saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't help but show a smile.

"Tsing Yi, these days, Xia Dou is almost ripe, right?" The empress's beautiful face was under the smile, and she was even more captivating.

"Avoidance, it's almost the same day, according to the practice of previous years, in just these few days, the first batch of summer beans will be sent to the palace, and Feng Imperial Chef will definitely be ready to present it to His Majesty as soon as possible. Tsing Yi responded with a smile.

Datang is good at everything, but the land is not too fertile, and there are too few crops, so whenever a certain seasonal vegetable is ripe, the rich family will be happy for a while, even if it is the empress, it is no exception.

After all, no matter who eats those kinds of food every day, they will get bored after eating them for too long.

The three dishes were covered by lids, so the empress didn't know what the dishes were, and it wasn't until the palace maid went down that she lowered her head slightly and sniffed lightly.

"This taste, you can't be wrong, it's the taste of summer beans. ”

The empress chuckled, the summer beans are similar to the green beans in China, although they are not very delicious when they are eaten too much, but when they are just ripe, they taste good, and the empress also likes them.

"Imperial Chef Li is making barbecue today, right? I just don't know what Imperial Chef Huo is making?"

Ziyi said with a smile: "In the past, the potatoes made by Huo Yuchu always had some taste, but today it seems that there is no taste at all?"

According to the convention, the three imperial chefs all have one dish per person, whether it is the empress or Tsing Yi Ziyi, they all think that the third dish is made by Huo Sisi, so they are quite curious, and they don't know why they can't smell anything.

"Maybe it's boiled?" Tsing Yi guessed: "Huo Yuchu has done this before, although it doesn't taste good, but it tastes good." ”

The Empress did not speak again, but lifted the metal lids covering the plate one by one.

The first dish was indeed Xia Dou, and it was the empress's favorite sauce, which made the empress feel a little happier.

The second dish is indeed barbecue, and it can be seen that Imperial Chef Li has put a lot of thought into it today, and the barbecue he made is golden on the outside, but quite tender on the inside, and the barbecue powder is also quite appropriate, and the aroma is attractive.

"These are the two dishes, and I am quite satisfied. The empress sighed lightly.

The Tang Dynasty has been at war for many years, the treasury has become more and more empty over the years, and the empress has become more and more frugal, if it is spread out, I am afraid that no one will believe that the king of a country has only three dishes in a meal, and there is also a staple food!

The empress then lifted the lid on the third plate.

However, just by opening a slit, a tempting sweet scent followed, lingering on the tips of the trio's hearts and noses.

"Good fragrance......" Tsing Yi Ziyi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help blurting out.

"What kind of taste is this?Huo Imperial Chef's skills have greatly improved?" the empress was quite surprised, and completely lifted the lid, and then was stunned.

"It's ...... What?"

Inside the plate, the edges are golden, and the white golden-edged cabbage inside seems to be stacked messily, but in fact it has a different beauty.

Especially the faint aroma, which always lingers in the heart, makes people itch unbearably.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is Phnom Penh cabbage. The palace maid responded softly on the side.

"Phnom Penh cabbage?" the empress muttered, "the name is not bad, it is very appropriate." ”

Then, the empress picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of cabbage under the gaze of the purple clothes in Tsing Yi and the saliva of the palace maid.

"Your Majesty didn't even be the first to eat soy sauce summer beans?" Tsing Yi and Ziyi glanced at each other, very surprised.

Judging from previous experience, the empress eats summer beans at every meal when Xia Dou first comes out every year, and she is the first to eat Xia Dou.

But today, I want to eat this never-before-seen Phnom Penh cabbage first? Is it a novelty? Or is it ...... The two women smiled bitterly, no, it should be this tempting fragrance, right? Although it is not very strong, but it is faint and seductive, so that they all talk with affection......

Click......

The empress's red lips opened lightly, and when she bit down on her sandalwood mouth, the aroma and crisp taste of Phnom Penh cabbage instantly exploded, which made the empress's eyes light up.

"This Phnom Penh cabbage is very good!"

The empress praised her, and then the foodie attribute exploded, although the movements were still elegant and noble, but the speed of eating was enough to surprise people......

Tsing Yi Purple Yi and the palace maid also smacked their tongues secretly, it seemed that in history, they had never seen the empress eat at such a speed?

"This Phnom Penh cabbage, is it really so delicious?" the two women glanced at each other, looking forward to it.

Because according to past experience, the empress does not eat much, and the three dishes are often unfinished, so if there are sometimes any good dishes, after the empress is full, they can also share a point and taste a little.

If this Phnom Penh cabbage is really so delicious, it is natural that nothing can be missed.

However, a few minutes later, the two girls were stunned.

The plate containing the gold-rimmed cabbage was empty, with only a little soup left, while the other two dishes remained untouched, even if there were the empress's favorite sauce-flavored summer beans......

"This Phnom Penh cabbage is really good, there is a reward!" the empress elegantly picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and then left leisurely, leaving only Tsing Yi and Ziyi and the palace maid staring wide-eyed.

"Phnom Penh cabbage is really so delicious?" Ziyi looked at the palace maid with a helpless expression: "Have you ever tasted it?"

"Where do I dare?Your Majesty's dishes, who dares to eat them secretly?" The palace maid almost cried: "Chief Purple, don't frame me." ”

"That's right. Ziyi sighed helplessly: "Look at how fragrant Your Majesty eats, I want to taste it too!"

"It's gone, how can you taste it?" Tsing Yi chuckled: "When Your Majesty gets tired of eating in the future, we will naturally have the opportunity to taste it, and now there are sauce-flavored summer beans, can you eat them?"

"Eat!" Ziyi's foodie attribute exploded in an instant, and then the two of them 'hooked up' with the palace maid and began to share food.

However, in the past, the empress's favorite and most rare sauce-flavored summer beans were eaten in their mouths today, but they always felt that they didn't taste good.

"Ahh

"You can make Your Majesty ignore your original favorite sauce-flavored summer beans, how delicious does it have to be?"
