Chapter 17: There Is Such a Delicacy of Food
King Yan put down his chopsticks and sneered, "What, do you think there is something wrong with this king?"
Zhou Ziyue hurriedly shook his head, then how dare he! Even if he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it in front of the prince, that didn't ask for his own hardship, did he look so stupid!
"No, Lord Wang, who am I, don't you know! Where do you have such a mind, I just think that this drunken Jiangnan dish is really good! Why doesn't it suit your appetite!"
Besides, he has been following the prince all day long, and it is not that he has never eaten the dishes of the imperial dining room.
The imperial dining room is indeed made of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the imperial kitchen is also those, where there is more food outside the world and the north and the sea, even if it is delicious, eat it every day, it will be tired.
The dishes in the drunken Jiangnan also have their strengths, but they can't be useless, right?
King Yan snorted, with a disdainful attitude, "That's because you didn't eat the really delicious food!"
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, if Zhou Ziyue has eaten more than ten times more delicious than Zui Jiangnan, will he still say that the dishes in Zui Jiangnan are delicious?
Hey, no, it's really delicious, as the prince said? The better he is, the more he is here, the more he is born in the prince's family, even if he is in the capital, he is also the only superior person in ten thousand, and there are still delicacies in this Daqi that he has never eaten?
Zhou Ziyue was curious about what the prince said, he put down his chopsticks and said curiously: "Prince, is there really such a delicacy?"
King Yan bowed his head affirmatively, his eyes were deep, and he looked like he was reminiscing.
Zhou Ziyue's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he quickly stood up and said eagerly: "Since this is the case, Lord Wang, then what are we delaying, let's go and taste the delicious food now!"
King Yan glanced at him without moving, and the disdain in his eyes was not hidden at all, "If you can eat it from time to time, do you think this king will come here with you?"
Zhou Ziyu: ......
Zhou Ziyue wilted suddenly, he picked up the chopsticks and stuffed his mouth angrily, then chewed vigorously, and muttered: "Lord Wang, aren't you playing me!"
King Yan didn't speak with a cold face, just picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip.
Zhou Ziyue sighed, he saw that the prince didn't eat, but he ate more in retaliation.
When he choked, he drank all the tea in the cup in a big gulp, and then said: "Since the prince doesn't like the food here, try the dim sum here for a while, and the dim sum here is also a must." ”
Dim sum in Zui Jiangnan is available in limited quantities, and many Gaomen will send their subordinates to Zui Jiangnan to queue up to buy dim sum in the afternoon.
When there are many people, these slaves have to line up for dozens of meters...... It can be regarded as a scene in the capital.
As soon as he mentioned dim sum, King Yan remembered the dim sum given by Shen Qiange in the morning.
There are only eight small pieces, and the taste of each piece is different, which makes people's fingers move, as long as they eat, they can't stop, and they don't know how to do it.
"Taste it for a while. King Yan's words were faint, and he didn't feel the slightest expectation in it.
Inviting the prince to dinner today is really no sense of accomplishment, and Zhou Ziyue is holding his breath when he hears this.
The prince said that the dishes of Drunken Jiangnan were average, and he obviously thought that the dishes of Drunken Jiangnan were so delicious that his tongue wanted to swallow them, but after the prince finished speaking, he gulped a few chopsticks, and there was actually a feeling that it was difficult to swallow.
Losing the mind of slowly tasting the food, Zhou Ziyue was in no mood to eat again, and when he heard what the prince said, he immediately called Xiao Er of the restaurant, removed all the dishes, and replaced them with the signature dim sum of their restaurant.
Put the two small plates containing the dim sum in front of King Yan, "Lord Wang, you try this, I have eaten it before, it is sweet but not greasy, it is just in line with the taste of the prince." ”
King Yan looked at the oval-shaped puff pastry in the two white porcelain plates in front of him, and at a glance, this snack lost to Shen Er's gift in terms of appearance.
Although a delicacy is full of color, flavor and flavor, there is no shortage of food that is not good for long, but it is delicious.
King Yan didn't care too much about the shape of this snack, took the chopsticks, took a piece and took a bite.
To be honest, if he hadn't eaten the dim sum sent by Shen Er in the morning beforehand, King Yan felt that this drunken Jiangnan dim sum was really good, at least comparable to the master of the imperial dining room.
But who let him eat the dim sum sent by Shen Er in the morning!
King Yan slowly finished eating a piece of dim sum and put down his chopsticks.
Zhou Ziyue saw that the prince did not put down the chopsticks directly this time, but finished eating a whole piece, his eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "Lord, how is it?"
After two seconds, King Yan replied with a straight face, "It's okay." ”
Zhou Ziyue almost vomited three liters of blood when he heard this answer, such a delicious snack is just acceptable?
The first time he ate drunken Jiangnan's dim sum, he burst into tears.
I have never eaten such delicious dim sum since I was a child, in order to be able to bring some back to my old mother at home to taste, he endured the saliva in his mouth and restrained himself from eating only two pieces to taste, and packed the rest and brought it home.
Now the prince only said that the taste of this snack was acceptable, which made him feel the blow again.
Seeing that he was dumbfounded and silent, the corners of his mouth twitched, "If this king hadn't eaten the dim sum given by Shen Er in the morning, he wouldn't have given Zui Jiangnan dim sum such an evaluation." ”
What! Zhou Ziyue felt that he had come back to life all of a sudden.
Shen Er's dim sum was the food box that the prince handed him in the morning?
"Lord, where is the dim sum?"
"Do you think there will be any leftovers of this king?"
Zhou Ziyu: ......
In fact, his master, King Yan, is a big foodie in essence! Whoever takes care of his mouth will definitely respond to his needs!
At this moment, Zhou Ziyue suddenly understood why the master was pounding pills so hard in the afternoon, was it to please Shen Er?
Shen Qiange took Old Madam Shen's carriage back to the house.
In early spring, the weather has just warmed up, but it is still very cold in the morning and evening.
In the carriage, someone deliberately put a charcoal basin, and the charcoal burned in the charcoal basin was fine silver wire charcoal, and four or five taels of silver were only one catty. Rao is that some big families can't afford to burn it.
In the past, she lived in Guiyanju, and there was never silver charcoal in Guiyanju, but only ordinary red charcoal. In the entire Shen Mansion, I'm afraid that only Lord Shen, Mrs. Shen and Shen Jiaojiao used silver silk charcoal, she didn't know it before, or a good day accidentally saw the second-class maid in Dou Chunyuan pouring carbon ash, only to know that the charcoal used in Shen Jiaojiao's yard was different from hers.
Liangchen, who was sitting opposite Shen Qiange to change the charcoal in the stove, also found out, and she said happily: "Second Miss, this is silver silk charcoal, in the end, it is good charcoal, there is no smoke at all, and it can be warmed for more than half an hour if it is placed in the hand stove." ”
Liangchen said as he handed the hand stove to Shen Qiange, and covered her legs with a blanket.
The morning came in a hurry, and he went back early at this time, and he sucked in the luck of King Yan, Shen Qiange was in a good mood, and he also had the energy to look at his grandmother's carriage.
The carriage was clean and spotless, and the mats and tea sets were all new, but none of them were new, and it could be seen that the carriage was well maintained.
However, the carriage was extremely prone to jolting, and the varnish of the wood next to it had fallen off a little, and over the years, the color had deteriorated.
It seems that my grandmother's life in Ningshoutang is not well-off, and she doesn't even have any money left to renovate the carriage.
