Chapter 52: Who is the "King of the Sea"
With this expectation, after changing ships from Tianjin Port, Chi Xia started work on the ship and made a departure banquet.
The ingredients are all fresh fish, shrimp and crabs.
For fish alone, there are four types of fish: steamed, sweet and sour, sauerkraut fillet, and grilled fish.
The pike crab picked the best meat, patted the starch and fried it in the pan until golden red, and then stir-fried the green onions, ginger and garlic in another oil pot, added the bean paste Lao Gan Ma, and served with rice cakes, green bamboo shoots and celery, and fried a large pot of spicy crab.
The shrimp are processed more carefully, the head is peeled and the shrimp line is changed in one go, and even the breadcrumbs at the bottom of the box are taken out, and the shrimp balls are fried into golden brown with the method of "the children next door are crying".
In the end, they even contributed the few honey mustard and salad dressings in the warehouse as dipping sauces, ensuring that those who like sweet and spicy can enjoy it.
She was busy for an hour after boarding the boat, almost without stopping, turning Anzi and Miao Miao around.
Yongzheng came out after approving the folds sent by the capital today, and was about to say a few words to her, when he saw a big table set up in front of him.
Surprised: "Why is Yaxing cooking so many dishes today?" ”
After Ji Xia completed the task that made him praise his cooking skills, she couldn't cook more than three dishes a day, and basically all of them were her favorite dishes.
At most, let him and Yinxiang order a dish occasionally.
Most of the time when I come to the Heart Cultivation Palace, the food box I carry is only one refreshment or dessert.
Cooking is not her hobby, just to satisfy her own appetite.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a variety of dishes.
Chi Xia leaned into his ear: "Let's invite General Nian and General Yue to have dinner together, and see if there is any reaction to the progress bar of the subduing the "Sea King". ”
Yongzheng raised his eyebrows: "You want to subdue them for one meal?" Unlikely. ”
Chi Xia smiled, a little cunning: "You don't have to finish it, I'll just look at the progress bar, even if it moves 1%, you can tell if you have found the right person." ”
For example, Guo Mianmian, although the task has not been completed, the progress bar is also a small half, but she has never found the right "core appeal".
Learning to use the system skillfully is the valuable experience she has accumulated in the past year of fighting wits and courage with this broken system.
Sure enough, Yongzheng was persuaded by her, washed his hands and instructed Su Peisheng: "Go and invite General Nian and General Yue, and ask Nian Xiyao to come with you." ”
Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi also had just boarded the ship, and they were summoned by Yongzheng before they arrived at their cabin, and they all came over in armor.
Nian Xiyao was originally studying how to use the steam engine to improve the power of the warship on the escort ship behind, but he was late.
Yongzheng pointed out the theme: "Concubine Zhao made a table of dishes with her own hands, and I thought that you must not have had time to eat, so I asked you to come together." ”
All three stood up and thanked him. At the beginning, after the bursting light musket directly scared off the Dzungaria, General Nian was also a little humble.
Yongzheng waved his hand: "When you go out, there are not so many rules, sit down and eat together." ”
After moving the chopsticks, Chi Xia clipped him with a shrimp ball.
Yongzheng tasted it and praised inertly: "Concubine Zhao's craftsmanship is good......
Before the words fell, Nian Qianyao directly stopped throwing up.
The second half of Yongzheng's sentence was stuck halfway.
The atmosphere was instantly awkward.
Chi Xia took a blank sip, doubting his cooking skills for the first time.
Is it so unpalatable? Did she misplace the condiment?
Nian Xiyao hurriedly got up and pleaded guilty on behalf of his younger brother: "The emperor forgives the sin, Lianggong was a little seasick after he got on the boat, and he refused to find the imperial doctor, so he lost his honor in front of the emperor and offended the emperor and his mother." ”
After a closer look, Nian Qianyao's face was indeed pale, as if he was unstable on his feet.
Chi Xia has a black line in his head.
The route they planned was to enter the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from Tianjin, and then take a sea boat to Hangzhou and go to Fujian along the coastline.
This section of the Grand Canal is very smooth.
Although there are also a few palace maids who have never been on a boat are not very comfortable and are a little seasick. But there are very few, and none of them have reacted as seriously as General Nian's.
Is it possible for people with severe seasickness to go to the navy?
Chi Xia already wanted to cross him off the shortlist of "King of the Seas" a little.
But still holding on to the last trace of expectation, I turned out two packs of "motion sickness and seasickness plums".
In the system, it was replaced with a paper bag, and he took it out and handed it to Nian Xiyao: "I brought some candied plum cakes, if General Nian doesn't mind, you can try it." ”
Nian Qianyao slowed down a little, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No need." The minister just got on the boat and was a little uncomfortable. ”
Nian Xiyao stretched out his hand to take it and thanked Chi Xia for his kindness.
I can't eat this meal.
Yongzheng simply let everyone disperse and go back to rest.
Chi Xia is a bit of a pity: I wasted the dishes on this big table, I haven't tried Yue Zhongqi yet, right!
~~~
This year, Xiyao helped his younger brother back to the side boat, and couldn't help but preach: "Since you are not feeling well as soon as you get on the boat, you should have asked the imperial doctor to come and see it earlier, so as not to lose your demeanor just now." ”
After shaking a few times when changing boats, Nian Qianyao wanted to vomit again, and waved his hand with a white face: "The imperial doctor can't see a name, isn't it just seasickness, I'm used to it." ”
Nian Xiyao gave him the plum he had just taken: "Plum is a good thing to stop vomiting." Give it a try. ”
Nian Qianyao turned his head and threw away the plum bag: "Isn't that a snack that only pregnant women eat, I don't want it." Did she mock me like a woman! ”
Concubine Zhao herself is a woman. As for mocking you like a woman?
Nian Xiyao was speechless: "What are you doing if you can't get along with her?" ”
Now everyone with eyes can see that the concubine Zhao is in Zhenglong, and if she can't get along with her, she can't get along with the emperor.
Nian Qianyao had a hard mouth: "She squeezed the little sister, and she also showed off her might." ”
Nian Xiyao pondered for a moment: "The little sister never said in her letter that she was not. You should know that our sister is not willing to fight with others. ”
Nian Qianyao shut up.
I know my sister's character, she has lacked nothing since she was a child, she sees everything very lightly, and she really doesn't like to fight with others.
Nian Xiyao watched his subordinates settle him down: "Okay, since you don't want to ask for a doctor, just rest well and see if you can feel better tomorrow." ”
There are many ships coming and going on the Grand Canal, although some private boats are banned because of the emperor's southern tour, but there are still many official ships and cargo ships that sail at night.
Their main ship and auxiliary ships are already very luxurious, and with the escort ships in front and behind, it can be said that they have a very large fleet.
Sometimes there are ships on the opposite side to meet, and it is inevitable that there will be shaking between the deviations and the others.
With good sleep quality, like Chi Xia, he just slept on a high-end waterbed, turned over and fell asleep again.
Those who are seasick suffer greatly.
As soon as Nian Qianyao came back to sleep, he shook a few times, which made him have a splitting headache, and he vomited twice, and he was about to vomit bitter bile water.
finally couldn't help it, and picked up two plums left by Nian Xiyao and stuffed them into his mouth.
Although my sore teeth were about to fall, I was able to sleep after eating.
