14. Only Cheng Yuan can do it
"Going straight to Keijuji?" Cheng Yuan asked Zhu Di.
"No, Ge Cheng knows." Zhu Di put things down in his heart, only then did he feel the fragrance of the hot pot, and when he picked up the chopsticks to fish up the hot pot, the meat slices had already been eaten by Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Di's chopsticks stretched out in the air, feeling a little angry. You little rabbit cub, this king and Mr. Cheng have no time to talk about things, and you gave Huo Huo Guang, an unfilial bear thing.
Can a dignified prince fight with a junior for a stutterer, definitely not. The chopsticks stretched out in the air were embarrassed to take them back, which was embarrassing.
Zhu Di found himself under the stairs, and said with a smile on his face: "This king's hands are numb." ”
The smell of hot pot was everywhere in the house, on clothes, in hair, everywhere.
Next to him, Zhu Gaoxu was sweating profusely and screaming spicy, he had never eaten such a delicious thing.
At the end of the meal, I drank all the soup. didn't forget to give Cheng Yuan a thumbs up: "Mr. is really a capable person, delicious." ”
Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, this soup is good, is there anything else?" ”
Cheng Yuan laughed: "There is only one piece left." ”
A few days ago, I went to the restaurant to eat with the axe to help those brothers, and the historical check-in system that had not been heard for a long time was triggered by himself and gave him two bags of hot pot base.
Hot pot has a history of more than 3,000 years, and was called Gu Dong in ancient times and a toilet stove in the Ming Dynasty. But the stove always felt weird, so Cheng Yuan insisted that his name was hot pot.
Zhu Di looked at Cheng Yuan: "This king has never eaten this kind of delicious stove, thinking of the princess and the prince, you can bring the rest of the piece." The king will pay you money. ”
is so delicious and precious, it must be very expensive, Zhu Di is also reasonable, he doesn't care about things, he just says to buy it with silver.
Cheng Yuan waved his hand, if someone else wanted this, of course he would have to collect money, but Zhu Di, an old boy, still gave him a personal favor.
It is a good thing to let the future Yongle Emperor owe himself more favors. Only then can you ask for more from him.
"Lord, don't want silver. I only have two pieces of this thing in the Ming Dynasty, but I am willing to give it to the prince and princess to taste. Cheng Yuan is polite.
Don't want silver, it's love, but Cheng Yuan emphasized that the Ming Dynasty only had these two pieces of hot pot base, and told Zhu Di on the side that his favor was not a villain.
You can't buy it with money.
Regarding how to meet Yao Guangxiao, Cheng Yuan said that he needed time to figure out a way, and Zhu Di nodded and agreed.
Zhu Neng, who was guarding outside, said that no one was eavesdropping, so that they could rest assured.
I did the big steward and enjoyed the respect of Yahuan's entourage, but I also had to work, not as leisurely as before.
For example, Cheng Yuan wants to help Zhu Di's family prepare hot pot. I can't think of a way to go to Qingshou Temple, so I still have to eat.
Lobby!
Cheng Yuan and Ge Changshi stepped into the threshold, and saw the princess Xu and Zhu Gaosui, and Zhu Gaochi helped Zhang to walk.
He was followed by An Cheng and Xianning, the two county lords.
Zhu Di was already sitting on the top seat, drinking a little wine quietly.
Zhu Gaoxu sat down excitedly and described to Zhu Gaosui how delicious the hot pot was.
Xianning lightly bumped An Cheng with his elbow, and vaguely looked in the direction of Cheng Yuan.
An Cheng felt a little angry, and glanced at Xianning, who was always fighting with herself, she obviously had nothing to do with Cheng Yuan.
In a daze, Xianning, the proud peacock, had already sat beside Xu's side, and Zhang Yang swore to An Cheng that she would sit next to her mother again.
An Cheng went to the princess Zhang to sit down, and did not fight for the seat next to the concubine.
There are many rules for eating in the palace.
Zhu Di is the person these princes and county lords are afraid of, and the table is quiet.
Cheng Yuan glanced at it, and said in his heart, it's strange that this hot pot can be eaten, and he can't let go of his hands and feet like this, and wastes his bag of hot pot base in vain.
The hot pot is steaming, and all kinds of vegetables and pine mushrooms have been completely washed and placed on the table not far away, neatly arranged.
"I will, I'll come." Zhu Gaoxu volunteered to stand up, looked at the grunting hot pot, and looked at the charcoal fire under the pot with some worry.
How long is the donkey meat and how long is the mutton......
"The dish hasn't been cut yet." Cheng Yuan resolved the embarrassment for him.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Cheng didn't say that I forgot about it." Seeing Cheng Yuan smiling and standing not far away to speak for him, Zhu Gaoxu immediately sat down happily and no longer pretended to understand.
Princess Yan Xu nodded to Cheng Yuan and expressed her greetings, whoever Zhu Di treats well, she will support the hospitality, and there is no shortage of courtesies.
The cook tried the raw dishes, made sure there were no problems, and reported it to Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan motioned to Ge Changshi, it's time to serve, pine mushrooms, cabbage, thinly cut mutton, and a plate of beef, hairy tripe, and many parts of the cow.
In the Ming Dynasty, cattle could not be killed, but the palace also had cattle and poultry raised separately for ordinary enjoyment.
Cheng Yuan didn't pretend to be smart enough to teach how to eat hot pot, which would make the Yan Wang family very shameless.
To appear to be able to do the same is to die.
He just said: "The name of this soup is hot pot, and I will make mutton and vegetables for the prince and princess." ”
Zhu Gaosui saw Cheng Yuan putting away the vegetables, and he also stood up and offered his courtesy to Zhu Di: "Dad, I'll try it too." ”
If you want to shabu, you can do it, Cheng Yuan didn't stop Zhu Gaosui, but he took a few pieces of hairy belly and threw them into the soup pot.
Cheng Yuan didn't pay attention, he was busy mixing with minced green onions, minced ginger, garlic and sauce, when he heard Zhu Di muttering.
"Third child, what are you cooking, this king can't bite at all." Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaosui with his hairy belly.
Calling Zhu Gaosui the third child is Zhu Di's name for his three sons. If all the children in the family gather, Zhu Gaosui is not the third.
Zhu Gaoxu also wondered, they ate well at that time, and they didn't believe in evil and sandwiched their hairy belly, and after eating a few bites, they felt that it was wrong, and they didn't do it well as Mr. Cheng.
"You don't know at all, cook something." Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the strong mouth, went online again.
Zhu Gaosui felt a little embarrassed, he had died socially, and the dead couldn't speak, silently eating the vegetables in the bowl, and kicking Zhu Gaoxu at the bottom of the table from time to time.
The sauce had to be adjusted several bowls, and Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang's were all ready, and when they heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, they understood what was going on at the moment.
The hairy tripe should be boiled for about 15 seconds, and the hairy tripe at this time is the crispest and most refreshing.
It's normal for Zhu Gaosui not to know.
Cheng Yuan had an idea, took Zhu Gaochi's chopsticks, picked up the hairy belly and took a few breaths: "Shizi, taste today's hairy belly, in a few breaths, you can eat it very crispy and refreshing." ”
Only then did Zhu Gaosui understand that he had eaten like this.
Cheng Yuan mixed a bowl of sauce for Princess Yan Xu, and said, "Princess, you were sick a few days ago, this soup base is spicy, I have prepared a bowl of hot water, you can eat it with water." ”
This wave of operations directly won Xu's appreciation, and Zhu Di couldn't help but praise him.
The meat is tender and smooth, the soup is thick and enjoyable, and Zhu Gaochi bluntly said that this is the most delicious potluck he has ever eaten.
But Cheng Yuan firmly believes that this is definitely the most delicious they have ever tasted. He said: "This kind of hot pot can be called hot pot, which is better than a pothole." ”
Zhu Di nodded: "Yes, this hot pot can only be done by the manager." There are so many ways to eat, this king has seen it for the first time. ”
The county lord of An Cheng happened to sit opposite Cheng Yuan, and a hint of discoloration appeared on his beautiful and delicate face.
The taste is indeed very beautiful, the soup is very delicious, the vegetables are fresh and the meat is smooth, and the taste is excellent. After a few bites, you will be convinced by the deliciousness.
Zhu Gaoxu said that he wanted to learn to make the sauce from Chengyuan, and by the way, he made a portion for Xianning, but the taste was very salty.
Xianning was not happy, why did she come here, she could only be a pig-like Zhu Gaoxu to spice herself with sauce, and it was unpalatable to death.
"I don't eat it." Xianning pushed away his own dishes and chopsticks.
Princess Yan looked at her pampered daughter, shook her head and said, "Ning'er, you are playing tricks again, learn more and learn more about Ancheng." ”
Zhu Gaochi also said: "Xianning." ”
Xianning replied to him fiercely: "What are you doing!" ”
Zhu Di doted on his youngest daughter the most, but he didn't reprimand him at the moment, and asked Cheng Yuan to help Xianning readjust it with a smile.
"Learn more about Ancheng, she looks like a girl all day long." Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the strong mouth, complained fatally.
Xianning gritted her little silver teeth, poked the table with chopsticks, and thought in pieces, learn Ancheng and learn Ancheng, where am I worse than her, I have everything she has, look at what you still say about me.
"This delicacy can only be done by the big steward, and it is delicious." Zhu Gaochi said.
The princess Zhang also praised that this was the most delicious time to eat.
If you want to make a modern hot pot, of course, only I, Chengyuan, can do it. That night, it spread all over the palace, saying that the chief steward had made a delicious hot pot, which was more delicious than the usual pot.
Early the next morning, Cheng Yuan, who got up early, sat at the residence of the other garden, looked at Yang Xianzhi and asked, "It's all spread out?" ”
Yang Xianzhi nodded: "I heard that the people are talking about King Zhou." ”
Cheng Yuan nodded, this is the effect, his arrival, I always feel that the development of events is much faster than in history.
But I can come to this world myself, and there is nothing tangled in the process of history becoming faster invisibly.
What he can be sure of is that the rebellion in Jingnan will come much earlier than history.
At present, the only goal is to help Zhu Di succeed in raising troops, and at worst, he must be a national prince.
