Chapter 66: The Legendary Moss
Moss to eat at noon.
Moss is a legendary tribute dish, and Sima Shao likes to eat this kind of thing very much.
This moss is tender and refreshing, but it doesn't spoil easily, so it's a great ingredient.
"That's the kind of moss you're talking about? It tastes really good, what is this made of? Yu Wenjun asked.
"This, it's a tribute dish, it's very simple, blanch it with boiling water and then put soy sauce and vinegar to eat, and then put a spoonful of sesame oil." Sima Shao replied, he didn't notice Yu Wenjun's changed expression, and he continued to talk about what he knew about moss.
"That's pretty good." Yu Wenjun said.
"Hmm." Sima Shao nodded.
The two fell silent and said no more.
"Wenjun." Sima Shao said suddenly, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Huh?" Yu Wenjun raised his head and asked.
"That's... In fact, ordinary people can't afford to eat and can't see this dish, this dish can only be seen in the palace. Sima Shao said hesitantly.
"Oh, I see."
Yu Wenjun nodded, but she already had an idea in her heart, but she didn't express it directly, but said: "Then do you have a way to let these people eat?" "
"Yes, but it's not easy."
"What then?" Yu Wenjun asked.
"It's not difficult, but I need your help." Sima Shao said.
"Need my help?" Yu Wenjun asked suspiciously.
"You and I go to my father and ask him to intercede and get him to agree with the people to try this dish." Sima Shao said.
"It doesn't seem to work, Your Majesty..."
"Why doesn't it work? As long as you go to intercede with your father, then your father will definitely agree to the people's taste, and then your father will definitely praise you for being sensible, and then the people can also taste this wonderful dish, and your father will definitely agree. "
Listening to Sima Shao's words, Yu Wenjun fell into deep thought, she didn't know how to choose.
"What's wrong? Are you hesitating? Sima Shao asked worriedly, Yu Wenjun's hesitation made him very nervous.
"Well, yes, I'm afraid that my request, Your Majesty will refuse, after all, this matter is very important, I'm afraid..."
"No, my father will definitely agree, my father is a benevolent king, and he will definitely agree." Sima Shao said with an oath.
"Really?" Yu Wenjun asked in disbelief.
"Yes, you're his daughter-in-law." Sima Shao explained with a smile.
"Oh." Yu Wenjun answered softly.
"Would you like to help me?" Sima Shao asked expectantly.
"Yes!" Yu Wenjun said without thinking.
"Great, we'll go to my father now."
Sima Shao picked up Yu Wenjun, and the two walked out of the room together, preparing to go to the Shang study.
...... In the study.
"Your Majesty!" Yu Wenjun shouted respectfully.
"Oh, it's Wenjun! What's the matter? "
"Your Majesty, it's very good to have a moss dish at noon today, but I heard that the people can't taste it, I want to ask, can we let the people taste this dish?" Yu Wenjun cut straight to the point, not dragging his feet.
"This, as you know, is not available to our people now, and the production of this dish is very small, so..."
"Your Majesty! Why not pay for the seeds of this moss to buy back and let the farmers cultivate them? ”
"Well, I know. But this kind of child can be encountered but not sought, and it is not easy to find. Besides, these people haven't seen it, so they don't approve of this dish, so I can't do anything about it. Emperor Jin Yuan said.
"It's... Your Majesty, what if the people approve of it? Yu Wenjun asked tentatively.
"Well... This..."Emperor Jin Yuan hesitated and did not answer.
When Yu Wenjun saw this, he knew that things were not going very well, and he had a bottom in his heart.
"Father, my son has an idea." At this time, Sima Shao spoke out in time.
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
"Father, moss is indeed scarce, but if there is a way to get seeds and plant them in large quantities, it is not a rare thing." Sima Shao thought about it and said, looking up at Emperor Jin Yuan.
Then he said: "There are still a lot of moss vegetables left in the palace, and the retainer can first get a hot pot restaurant to try the reaction of the people, and then make a decision, what does my father think?" ”
"Well, that's a way to go." Emperor Jin Yuan glanced at Sima Shao appreciatively and said, "You young people all have a way. "
"I'll arrange for someone to deal with it later." Emperor Jin Yuan nodded.
"Then thank you, father."
......
The next day, Emperor Jin Yuan ordered someone to send the excess moss to Sima Shao's hot pot restaurant.
Sima Shao was very happy to see it.
"Wenjun, look! I'll just say it works! Sima Shao said happily.
"yes." Yu Wenjun said that you still have a way.
"Shopkeeper." Sima Shao shouted at the shopkeeper.
“”
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran to Sima Shao's side and said, "Son, what do you command?" "
"Take the dish to the back kitchen and let people do it, just like mixing cucumbers, so that everyone can taste it." Sima Shao commanded.
"Okay, wait!" The shopkeeper turned around and walked to the kitchen with the moss.
...... "How are these mosses, are they delicious?" Yu Wenjun looked at everyone and asked.
"Hmmm! It's delicious, it's really delicious, and the taste of this dish is so wonderful. "
"yes, I wish I could have it every day."
"This moss is sour and crispy, and it goes well with hot pot."
......
Hearing that everyone praised this moss, Yu Wenjun smiled with satisfaction on her face, she glanced at Sima Shao, and her eyes revealed a look of relief.
Seeing that everyone praised one after another, Sima Shao was also very happy.
...... At dinner time, Sima Shao came to the kitchen.
"Wenjun, I'll help you."
"Okay, then it's hard for you." Yu Wenjun said with a smile.
"It's okay, who of us is with whom, don't be so polite, you just cook with peace of mind, I promise to complete the task." Sima Shao patted his chest and assured him, and then began to help wash and chop vegetables.
"Okay."
Sima Shao and Yu Wenjun were busy in the kitchen, bursting out of laughter from time to time.
"This moss is very popular, it seems that we can ask for seeds like our father." Sima Shao said happily.
"Uh-huh." Yu Wenjun echoed.
"In two days, I went to my father and asked him to send someone to a neighboring country to buy some seeds, so that the people of the Great Jin Dynasty would be able to eat them in the future." Sima Shao said yearningly.
"Well, it's up to you."
"Wenjun, thank you." Sima Shao looked at Yu Wenjun gratefully and said.
"Oh, what are you talking about?" Yu Wenjun was disgusted.
Seeing this, Sima Shao's face turned red.
Just when the two were flirting.
The maid Nan'er didn't know what was going on, and suddenly broke in.
Seeing the embarrassed expressions of the two, he covered his eyes again and said, "I didn't see anything." He ran out in a panic.
Both of them blushed.
