The old man himself was there for a while, and suddenly slapped his head.

"Today, Mrs. Changsun is happy, Your Majesty and Wang Qian's old horseman, will definitely go to His Highness's side, His Highness will definitely be- no, I have to go over immediately......"

Speaking of this, Meng Wu subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned around and left.

The chef in the palace of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is the best in the world, and there must be delicious food today, don't rub it - cough cough, don't congratulate, wouldn't it be rude.

"Huh—even if you want to go, you can't go empty-handed......"

Mrs. Meng reminded her in the back crying and laughing, but Meng Wu didn't reply.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is making money every day, how can you care about your three walnuts and two dates - you don't have to worry about it, I'm outside, just buy something......"

Mrs. Meng: ......

If you want to shout again, the people on Mengwu's side have already run away without a shadow, so they can only give up.

……

When Meng Wu arrived at the eldest prince's mansion, he was just in time for the opening of the banquet.

Meng Wu carried two boxes of dim sum that he bought casually on the side of the road, and came over to greet the First Emperor with a spring breeze on his face.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty—"

Then he turned his head and greeted Zhao Ying.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness......"

As he spoke, he shook the gift box in his hand.

"Just a small courtesy, talk about the table with heart, and please don't dislike your highness......"

Zhao Ying thanked him and took it with a smile. Seeing his tired appearance, the First Emperor couldn't help but laugh and scold.

"You have a good mouth - find a place to sit by yourself, and have a drink with me today......"

Meng Wu was not polite, and sat down next to Wang Jian directly, smelling the smell of wine on this product, Wang Jian moved to the side with some disgust.

In this regard, Meng Wu acted as if he hadn't seen it, and even deliberately moved to Wang Qian's side.

Wang Jian: ......

Some sighed in resignation.

But fortunately, the food was served quickly, and his attention was quickly attracted by the food that kept coming. Braised beef, braised tofu, stewed pork ribs, fried lamb with green onions, cold cucumbers, ginger and lotus root slices, leek eggs, and a large pot of steaming, fragrant ginseng stewed venison dotted with bright red wolfberries and emerald green coriander.

The meat is the most tender tenderloin, and the ginseng is the old mountain ginseng from Liaodong, which is originally nourishing, tonic and delicious, at this time, its own fragrance is forced by coriander, and the taste is more and more attractive.

Just smelling it makes people can't help but stir their throats and swallow their saliva.

But this is not what attracts the attention of the three people the most.

"Ying'er, what kind of new tricks are this?"

When the maid who served the food bowed down and retired, the first emperor raised his eyebrows, pointed to the three large plates with black glazed porcelain bowls in the middle circle, and asked with some curiosity.

"Ying'er, what kind of new trick are you......"

Although he eats with Zhao Ying almost every day, and Zhao Ying takes care of his own imperial kitchen, this is really the first time he has seen this kind of dish.

Seeing that Wang Jian and Meng Wu were also looking at him curiously, especially Meng Wu, who had already begun to be eager to try and wanted to open the small cyan bowl buckled on it, Zhao Ying introduced with a smile.

"Steaming bowl - I just got a new gadget developed in the kitchen recently, you might as well try it first to see if it fits your taste......"

"Steaming bowls? Can this bowl still be eaten? ”

When Meng Wu heard this, he couldn't help but stare at the boss, and looked at Zhao Ying with a suspicious expression.

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing, seeing that the First Emperor and Wang Jian were also looking at him, Zhao Ying didn't explain, and directly stepped forward to open a steaming bowl closest to the First Emperor, and quipped.

"Naturally, the bowl can't be eaten by the old general, but - the gadgets under this bowl, you can taste it first to see if it suits your appetite......"

"Looks pretty good......

The First Emperor took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and greeted Wang Jian and Meng Wu who were sitting on the side.

"Come, two old generals, let's taste ...... together"

As he spoke, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and put them in his mouth first. I couldn't help but lift the chopsticks and take a bite, which was soft and smooth, and melted in my mouth.

I've eaten chicken for decades, and I never thought that this chicken could be so delicious!

Looking at Wang Jian and Meng Wu again, the two old generals couldn't stop eating chopsticks.

Seeing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile of relief, this steamed bowl, he only occasionally made it strange because of the first emperor and the old general Wang Jian who entertained him today.

Both of them are elderly people, especially the old general Wang Qian, who is over seventy years old, and his teeth have fallen out.

But this steaming bowl is very friendly to the elderly.

Tender, juicy, and melts in your mouth, even if you don't have any teeth, it doesn't have much effect.

Not to mention Mengwu, even the old general Wang Jian was full of emotion.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is really attentive, this thing can be called a blessing for the elderly - the old man's teeth have been shaken off, and he has not tasted the taste of chicken for many years......"

Zhao Ying greeted with a smile.

"It's good if the old general likes it - when I turn around and leave, I deliberately let the people below make a few more portions, and when I turn around, the old general might as well bring some back and beckon the old lady to enjoy it together......

Seeing that Meng Wu had stopped his chopsticks and looked at himself with a blank look, Zhao Ying turned his head and added.

"General Meng is the same......"

Meng Wu was overjoyed.

"Then the old minister is welcome, hehe-the old woman in my family has lost her teeth worse than Wang Qian, the old horseman, and she has not been able to eat chicken for many years, so she can also touch the light of His Highness, and see His Highness's cooking skills......"

That look seemed to be happier than he had eaten himself.

Seeing that the First Emperor couldn't help but smile and quipped.

"What's so hard about that? When do you want to eat in the future, the old general just takes Mrs. Ling to Ying'er's side, eats openly, and manages ......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, that old minister is really not polite—"

Meng Wu thanked him happily, then looked at the other two small black glazed bowls that were upside down on the plate.

Zhao Ying also stopped selling guanzi, and stepped forward to open them one by one.

"Come, taste it, and see if you can taste it, what kind of meat are these steaming bowls made of......"

"This is supposed to be fish - but the bones are crispy, and it tastes soft and smooth, and it has a different flavor......

With the steamed chicken base just now, the three of them no longer have the novelty of the first contact with the steamed bowl, but can taste the difference better. The First Emperor carefully tasted the steamed fish bowl in front of him, and couldn't help but nod in praise.

"This thing is the best quality, and the taste is even better than the fish balls I usually eat......"

The First Emperor loved to eat fish, and on weekdays, he had to eat a bowl of fish balls almost every day. Therefore, it is very high to be able to get this evaluation.

"What kind of meat ...... is this?"

Meng Wu sandwiched a pair of chopsticks, tasted them carefully after eating, but didn't taste them, and couldn't help but stretch out the chopsticks and clamp a piece.

"Why, I'll try ...... again"

First Emperor: ......

Wang Jian: ......

Seeing that a steamed bowl was almost half tasted by the old guy himself, the two had enough reason to suspect that the old guy was secretly eating under the banner of tasting.

"Let's taste ...... too"

The first emperor and the old general Wang Jian had a tacit understanding to eat and stretch out their chopsticks, and one of them rescued a chopstick.

But as soon as the meat was in their mouth, the two of them couldn't help but be in a daze.

"What kind of meat is this? Fat but not greasy, thin but not woody, tender and smooth, crispy and rotten - I don't seem to have eaten such meat before......"

The old general Wang Jian was also a little confused.

"What kind of meat is this-the old man has been asking himself all his life, and he has a good appetite, there is no meat that he has never eaten, and he can't even taste what kind of material this bowl of steamed meat is......"

"Lonely and unheard—let me taste ......"

Meng Wu glanced at Wang Jian with disdain, his hand was not slow at all, he made the first move, grabbed another chopstick, and put it in his mouth with a satisfied face.

Looking at the steaming bowl with only one piece left on the plate.

Wang Jian: ......

Moved the chopsticks to the side with some difficulty.

Meng Wu, the old horseman, is a lot older, and he is still so shameless!

The First Emperor unhurriedly picked up the last piece of steamed pork, put it in his mouth, and nodded contentedly.

"Yes, yes - let's talk about it, what is the material used in this bowl of steamed pork......"

Zhao Ying said with a smile.

"Pork—"

First Emperor: ......

Wang Jian: ......

Meng Wu: ......

"Your Highness, what are you kidding, have you really eaten pork when the old ministers and others have never eaten pork? In the past, when I was in the army, I and Wang Qian, the old horse, ahem, and the soldiers of the three armies, had eaten pork more than once, although the pork was fragrant, but it tasted unpleasant and fishy......"

Meng Wu's words are not an exaggeration.

He and General Wang Jian have really eaten pork. There are so many people in the army, how can there be so much mutton to eat?

For these big-headed soldiers, if they can occasionally have a bite of pork to eat, it is the New Year!

I don't think it's good, I can't stand the fishy, that's the business of the nobles.

The people of the lower classes, even if they are soldiers in the army, are just asking for oil and water, where are the qualifications to be picky?

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Qian.

However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Qian, the old man, had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Speaking of which, it's really possible, the last time I saw Bai Fen and a few of their old guys, I heard that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun had instructed the Qianshou over there how to raise pigs in Meixian County, and the pork raised by His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun did not have much fishy smell - even the body size was much larger, and the local people benefited a lot......

That being said, including the First Emperor, they are not hypocritical people, and they are not people who can't eat this kind of "cheap" pork, but Zhao Ying uses this kind of pork meat that "can't be put on the table" to directly treat guests, which is a bit rude.

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"At that time, I was just inspired by breeding sheep and donkeys, so I bought a few and did an experiment, but I didn't expect it to really happen - however, the pork I use today is still a little different from the pork in Meixian County, these pigs are raised in separate captivity, not connected to the latrine, and are fed with grass and grain ...... on weekdays."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying shook with some regret.

"It's a pity that the grain in our Daqin is not rich enough now, and this breeding model cannot be promoted on a large scale, otherwise this pork may be able to surpass mutton and become the most important meat on the people's table......"

The First Emperor and Wang Jian and others couldn't help but think so.

The pig maturity cycle is fast, and the meat yield is far higher than that of goats.

The cost performance is very high, and if it can solve the feed problem, it is really promising.

Speaking of this, Meng Wu suddenly remembered something and said casually.

"I heard that the imperial court has sent General Zhao Tuo to Xianglin County to collect rice seeds that can be harvested three times a year, if it can really be done, maybe the situation will be improved......"

The First Emperor smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I have received news yesterday that General Zhao Tuo has returned from Xianglin County, and I think I will be able to arrive in Xianyang in a few days......"

Speaking of this, the First Emperor glanced at his eldest grandson without a trace.

This kid didn't know which evil sect he was from, and he wanted to transfer Zhao Tuo back from Lingnan. In fact, in his opinion, Zhao Ying's series of policies in Lingnan are very decent and effective, and he is the best person to guard Lingnan.

However, it doesn't matter, since the eldest grandson of his own emperor has doubts, he will find an opportunity to branch it, and he will branch it.

Whoever guards Lingnan is not a guard.

General Meng Tian's performance is also remarkable, Daqin is full of talents, and it is not impossible to solve the problem without Zhao Tuo.

"If it is really feasible, for my Great Qin, its role is no less than winning the entire Lingnan ......"

The old general Wang Jian said, subconsciously glanced at Zhao Ying, who was happy and didn't take this credit seriously, and sighed secretly in his heart.

The emperor's eldest grandson's mental determination is simply a natural king - when His Majesty was his age, he was probably not able to do it, right?

"It's not so exaggerated - the land of Lingnan is of great significance, the great father pacified Lingnan, the merit is in the present, the benefit is in the future, and it is not comparable to the improved varieties of forest rice......"

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and scold.

"You stinky boy, say this in front of the two old generals, and you're not afraid of people's jokes......"

Zhao Ying laughed.

"I'm a grandson, I'm willing to pat my eldest father's ass, what is so funny about them, and they have the ability to let their grandson pat their own ass......"

Meng Wu and Wang Jian couldn't help laughing.

Meng Wu said with some distress.

"Hateful, those bastards in my family, lack a string in their brains, they know that they are sloppy with the old man, and they only have you, the general, in their eyes, and they don't look at his grandfather in the slightest......"

Wang Jian: ......

This old thing, it's shameless, he really doesn't forget to curry favor with his grandson all the time, so he can only be angry and authentic.

"Our family is not much stronger, and now I know that I read every day with a book, and a good military general is about to be trained by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to become a civil official......"

Knowing that the two old generals were deliberately funny, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing. "The old general's words are too wronged to me, where does Sun need me to train, the tiger father has no dog, not to mention that there is such a prestigious father as you sitting above him......"

Zhao Ying got up with a smile, carried the wine jug, and poured wine for the two old generals, Wang Jian and Meng Wu.

PS: There are only two days left, and there are still more than 100 monthly passes left, so I want a monthly pass......
