On the top of the Mingyu building, the wind is singing jade, and the eyes are connected to the four poles, and there is a beautiful scenery of spring.

But Qin Yuwen, the eldest son of the Qin family, who rarely climbed the stairs, was full of gloomy and sourness.

This time, he was calculated by Xia Jingyun to death, played with it in the palm of his hand, and suffered a big loss;

As soon as I turned my head, my sister, who had been loving and guarding against death since childhood, was actually stolen by that dog thief!

In the long run, I can't imagine whether the future will also be played with.

Originally, he could have been tough, angry, and desperate to muddy this cooperation, but the arrival of the palace attendant and the words that followed completely crushed his thoughts.

Put sand in the machine?

I don't dare to borrow a few guts from him!

At this moment, he, who had always thought highly of himself and was not convinced by Xia Jingyun, suddenly felt a huge gap between himself and Xia Jingyun.

He let out a long sigh and turned around, "Little sister."

As soon as he got up, he only felt a black in front of his eyes, a pain in his head, and he fell to the ground softly, unconscious.

For fear that Qin Yuwen would not be able to think of jumping off the window, Qin Li held a stick with a soft cloth wrapped around the top in his hand, panting, and stroked his chest with palpitations, "Someone! ”

"Escort the son back to the house, so that he can recuperate."

Then she looked at her own maidservant, "You also follow back to the house, go and tell my mother, I have been staring at the eldest brother for the past two days, and beware of him committing suicide." ”

——

Of course, Xia Jingyun didn't know that Qin Li was worried about his brother's safety, and there was a fierce incident of Lin Daiyu uprooting the weeping willows, and he was yawning one after another at the moment, walking on the way to the palace.

Although on this occasion today, Concubine De is his sister-in-law, absolutely standing on his side, and Emperor Chongning is the "partner" of this plan, and he will also be tolerant of him, but the so-called companion is like a tiger, how can he not treat it solemnly, let alone give it all to these "recruit eggs".

On the carriage, Jin Zhong said with a smile: "Young Master Xia, you haven't entered the palace for some days." ”

Xia Jingyun, who was familiar with history and had never known the importance of these chamberlains, had no intention of posing in front of them, and smiled gently, "I have no merit in my body, and if I am not a relative of the emperor, how can I enter the palace so well!" ”

Jin Zhong shook his head with a smile, "You don't count, Concubine De is closer to you than to her own brother!" ”

Xia Jingyun laughed lightly, and arched his hand: "Sister, in the palace, there must be a lot of chores, if there is anything that can help, please ask Father-in-law Jin to give a hand." ”

The contact time was too short, and he could only use such ambiguous words that the emperor knew about Jin Zhong's temperament and tried it a little.

"You're welcome." Jin Zhong smiled and said, "All of us admire Mr. Xia!" A little effort, Xia Gongzi must not be polite. ”

Xia Jingyun slid out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his sleeve, "I said earlier that I would invite Father-in-law Jin to drink, but I haven't had a chance, so I bothered Father-in-law Jin to go back and ask the brothers to drink some together, and I should make amends, and thank you for it." ”

Jin Zhong accepted it with a smile after a little excuse, and the two of them chatted a few more words, and then came to the palace.

All the way to the imperial dining room, the three masters of Mingyulou had already pulled the guy to the matter, and they were standing at the door guarding things with some grievances, and no one paid attention to them when they came and went.

The peers were jealous, and the surrounding chefs naturally didn't have a good impression of these people, let alone anyone who took the initiative to talk.

When Jin Zhong saw this scene, he was furious without Xia Jingyun's orders, jumped out of the carriage and scolded: "What's the matter? Your Majesty and Concubine De personally called the people who entered the palace, do you dare to give them a face? The imperial dining room is so oily and water every day that even the gall is fat? ”

The steward of the imperial dining room hurriedly came out to make amends, Xia Jingyun didn't care, and when Jin Zhong arranged everything, he took the three of them into a reserved kitchen and got busy.

The steward of the imperial dining room looked at Xia Jingyun's appearance that was completely different from the three chefs of Mingyulou, and whispered: "Father-in-law Jin, who is this master?" ”

Jin Zhong turned his head and glared at him, "This is Concubine De's brother-in-law, Xia Gongzi!" ”

"The one who gave the prostitute?"

Jin Zhong snorted coldly, "If you change people, you must not be beaten up, thanks to the kindness of Xia Gongzi, let you escape the catastrophe!" ”

The steward slapped himself in the face with a crisp slap, "Look at my crazy appearance!" If you do such a thing, I'm going to make amends to Xia Gongzi. ”

Jin Zhong nodded, "Just help to do a good job of this matter, if you think about what kind of person Xia Gongzi is, he actually condescended to come to the imperial dining room to work, which shows how important this matter is." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go."

Looking at the figure of the steward of the imperial dining room leaving, Jin Zhong only felt that the silver tickets in his pocket were a lot more stable.

——

In the Changle Palace, Emperor Chongning was still leaning on the soft collapse as if he had no long bones, and Concubine De was talking to him with a smile on the side.

"Tu Shan's conditions are far inferior to those in the palace, Yu'er went, there was no noise or trouble, right?"

Concubine De said gently: "He can have this blessing, it is all the grace of His Majesty, Mr. values it, plus Gao Yang's child tried his best to help him fight for it, how can there be no reason not to cherish it." ”

She handed a cup of hot tea to Emperor Chongning, "What's more, there is also the king of Linjiang County, a pair of brothers who are both hand in hand and competing for the first, encouraging each other, striving for progress, and will definitely be able to earn glory for the royal family." ”

"You! This kind of mind is really rare! ”

Emperor Chongning smiled with satisfaction, "I heard that Concubine Shu has been making trouble for you again recently?" ”

"Who is chewing his tongue for fear that the world will not be chaotic!" Concubine De scolded angrily and shook her head, "Sister Concubine Shu was born in a famous family, she has been a proud existence since she was a child, and some of her little temperaments are consistent, not deliberately looking for anyone's trouble, I can't deal with it, appease, let the harem be chaotic, and cause trouble to Your Majesty, it should be my fault." ”

"Huh." Emperor Chongning sneered, of course this laughter was not aimed at Concubine De in front of him.

He gently patted the empty space next to him, asked Concubine De to sit over, and gently squeezed her hand, showing a rare trace of tenderness, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Concubine De smiled and shook her head.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, there is a message from the imperial dining room that lunch is ready."

Emperor Chongning raised his eyebrows and stood up, "Okay, then let them pass it on!" ”

A group of chamberlains and palace maids first set up a table full of dishes as usual.

Then, Jin Zhong led one of the representatives of the three cooks of Mingyulou and walked up with a large dinner plate in his hand.

On the plate, there are four small square plates, plus a small steamer, and in the center is a two-tiered special plate with a little charcoal underneath to keep the roast duck on top of it.

This cook is worthy of coming out of Mingyulou, accustomed to seeing the magnates of Zhongjing, after seeing His Majesty and Concubine De, after a period of panic, he slowly stabilized his mind, and began to explain the practices and wonders of this duck to His Majesty and Concubine De.

Of course, the rhetoric was told in advance by Xia Jingyun.

Emperor Chongning looked at the thing with great interest in ruddy color and full body, thinking that this was the roast duck that Xia Jingyun told him before, but he didn't expect that this son was really good at doing things, and it had progressed to this point.

Originally, I wanted to say that the best thing was naturally to slice roast duck on the spot, but it was obviously impossible to cook for the emperor and use a knife in front of him.

Therefore, the duck that has been slipped in advance has already been placed on the plate, and it looks quite appetizing under the delicate plating.

The chef said: "There are two ways to eat this duck, the first is to eat the crispy but not greasy duck skin dipped in sugar, and feel the wonderful taste of the crispy duck skin and the delicate sweetness of the sugar. ”

The eunuch had already tasted it in advance, so Emperor Chongning and Concubine De both tasted a piece according to the chef's introduction.

Emperor Chongning, who was originally just going to casually boast a sentence or two according to the "script", chewed slightly, suddenly his expression moved slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Concubine De beside him.

Concubine De's eyebrows were crooked, savoring the sensation in her mouth, and then swallowing it, "Your Majesty, this thing really has some doorways!" ”

Emperor Chongning nodded, "The aroma of oil is still with the fragrance of fruit wood, crispy, fat but not greasy, and the sweetness of sugar adds some flavor, not bad, really good!" ”

He looked at Concubine De and said, "But for me, it's a little sweet, you should like it very much?" ”

Concubine De smiled and nodded, "The concubine thinks it's just right, it's like eating pastries." ”

The chef was very excited, and then introduced the second way to eat.

Emperor Chongning rolled a duck roll with his own hands and handed it to Concubine De, who took it with a shy smile, bit it lightly, and nodded at Emperor Chongning with a smile.

Emperor Chongning then made one for himself, took a bite, tasted it slowly, and then ate the remaining half of the roll, and said approvingly: "The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, the taste is mellow, and the sauce fragrance, meat fragrance, fragrance and spicy fragrance are integrated." Not bad, not bad! ”

He really didn't expect that Xia Jingyun would really be able to make such a delicious product, and he would have such an appetite for him.

Again, this roast duck may not be very delicious compared to other delicacies in the imperial dining room, but the novelty and quality of this alone are enough to make it harvest a large number of fans at the beginning.

Then Concubine De took the initiative to help Emperor Chongning wrap a roll, and Emperor Chongning finished eating this roll, and said with a smile: "It's rare to cook food like this on weekdays, and this way of eating has a unique flavor in it!" ”

When the third volume was also finished, and Emperor Chongning subconsciously wanted to eat the fourth volume, Gao Yi said softly on the side: "Your Majesty, you can't eat more than three." ”

Emperor Chongning had no choice but to withdraw his hand and look at the cook, "You roast duck I am very satisfied, do you have a name?" ”

The cook had already received Xia Jingyun's orders, and hurriedly said: "I haven't got a name yet, the grass people are brave, please give your majesty a name." ”

Emperor Chongning thought for a while, "Let's call it Zhongjing Roast Duck!" Produced in Zhongjing, flourished in Zhongjing, and in the name of Zhongjing, it will be sold all over the world! ”

"Grass people, thank you for your name!"

Emperor Chongning opened his mouth again: "I can't enjoy this thing alone, you can make a few more and send them to the central princes, so that they can also taste them." ”

The cook responded.

"Gao Yi, give the imperial meal a gold medal, a bounty of fifty taels, and send it out of the palace when you're done!"

Gao Yi leaned over and agreed, "Yes!" ”

The cook on the side was pleasantly surprised, "Grass people thank Your Majesty Longen." ”
