After speaking, this boy also recommended intimately, "If you want to eat the pot, two streets away opened a Changlou, the taste is not worse than the opposite, the price is more fair than the opposite, just opened a few days, there can be a discount!" ”

After speaking, Xuan Cang gave the boy a small piece of loose silver, and the boy took it happily, bowed and retreated, and said earnestly before leaving: "What else do you need, the noble man will ring the bell at the door, and the little one will come over as soon as possible." ”

After the tea boy left, Qin Shuhuang instructed the guards to go to the opposite restaurant to buy a pot and send it.

After a while, the guards came back with a food box.

The guard exaggerated: "Your Highness, the price has risen by one percent compared to before the flood!" There is an additional charge for the food box. ”

Qin Shuhuang sneered, it seemed that Bai Lingge and the Gu family were short of money and ruthless.

The guards put the pots in the food box on the table, put aside the various dishes to be cooked, and finally took out two bowls of rice.

Qin Shuhuang pointed to the position opposite him, "Xuan Cang, accompany the palace to taste." ”

With the charcoal fire, the pot gurgles.

Xuan Cang sat opposite Qin Shuhuang according to his words, and after waiting for the pot to boil, he put the various dishes next to him into the pot.

When it was almost cooked, Xuan Cang first picked up a piece of meat and tasted it.

As soon as the piece of meat was eaten, Xuan Cang immediately spit it into the empty bowl next to him before he could chew it.

He twisted his sword eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, don't eat it, the meat has spoiled, and you will have trouble eating it." If you want to eat the pot, your subordinates will accompany you to the house that the boy just said. ”

Qin Shuhuang was surprised, Bai Lingge really blackened his heart and liver in order to make money, and the spoiled meat could still be sold out.

She picked up the chopsticks on the side, looked at the meat and vegetables that went with the hot pot, picked up a few plates of meat and sniffed it, and finally looked at the rice.

There are more or less problems with the meat, and the most serious dish is the one that Xuancang has just put into the hot pot, and after a long time, the smell is the most serious, and even the heavy taste of the hot pot has not been overshadowed.

The vegetables are not fresh, the rice is even more stale, and you can see the rice worms that have not been picked clean.

Qin Shuhuang ordered, "Clean these up and smash them at the gate of the restaurant together with the food box." ”

The guards neatly cleaned up the pot and left with the food box.

When Qin Shuhuang left the bookstore in a carriage, a large number of people were already gathered at the door of Bai Lingge's restaurant, and the food was smashed all over the ground by the guards.

In the crowd, I was afraid that there was still a new hot pot seller who was leading the rhythm, and after a while, this group of people rushed into the restaurant and smashed it.

Qin Shuhuang went to the newly opened restaurant that the boy said, and brought a pot back home.

After returning home, Qin Shuhuang asked Lu Zhou to send someone to keep an eye on Bai Lingge's restaurant, and if Bai Lingge's reserve price changed hands on the restaurant, let Lu Zhou buy it secretly.

Ruihe had already prepared the pot that Qin Shuhuang had brought back.

Qin Shuhuang tasted it, frowned, and shook his head.

Ruihe took the chopsticks and tasted them, and immediately twisted his eyebrows, "Your Highness, this newly opened restaurant that sells pots doesn't taste as good as the restaurant opened by the Gu family!" ”

The words were said too quickly, and after speaking, Ruihe realized that he had said the wrong thing, and looked at Qin Shuhuang with some anxiety.

Qin Shuhuang was helpless and said with a smile: "What you said is right, what are you afraid of, this taste is indeed not as good as the restaurant opened by Bai Lingge." ”

In fact, there is a way to eat the side stove, and the method is convenient, but it is difficult to make it delicious and distinctive.

The newly opened restaurant is looking at the silver earned by the red and white Lingge restaurant, and it is imitated.

It's just that I only learned the form, but the real formula was not learned.

Although the business is good now, it is because the way of eating is fresh and discounted, no matter how fresh the ingredients are, it is more sincere than Bai Lingge's restaurant, but after a long time, it will be difficult to open for a long time without characteristics.

As long as Bai Lingge's restaurant closes down, there will be a number of restaurants of this type in Beijing, and the hot pot business will become more and more difficult to do.

Seeing His Highness say this, Ruihe smiled easily, "Thank you Your Highness for your tolerance, today the house received something from Aunt Su, which contains the chili pepper mentioned by His Highness, do you want to try this chili pepper?" ”

Unexpectedly, the chili pepper had been sent by Aunt Su.

Qin Shuhuang was pleasantly surprised, and instructed Ruihe to remove the pot he brought back, and then asked someone to bring the chili pepper.

With this pepper, the spicy pot has a soul.

Aunt Su asked someone to send a lot of peppers, two big bags, said that they were bought from Hu Shang, who said that this is a poisonous plant, but it can be planted to make bonsai.

Aunt Su used two bags of polished rice and Hu Shang to exchange these chili peppers.

Qin Shuhuang took a small half of the frame, and let Lu Zhou keep the rest well, and send it to Zhuangzi in the spring next year to plant it all.

Qin Shuhuang smiled and said to the people around him: "Today, I will let you see the really delicious pot." ”

Of course, Qin Shuhuang can't do it herself, her craftsmanship is really not very good.

She commanded Shilan Shiyu on the side, told them the method, and Shilan Shiyu did it.

An hour later, the fragrant butter and spicy hot pot is ready.

Considering that Xie Xuanye's condition had just improved and he couldn't eat spicy food, he asked Shiyu to make a light mushroom pot bottom.

At dinner, Qin Shuhuang asked Rui Miao to call Song Yuan and Ye Zi, and asked Rui He to bring someone to send pots to the captains of the guards and Xie Dian.

The two mansions eat spicy pot together tonight.

At this time in late autumn, eat hot pot together in the flower hall, the heat is thick, and then drink two cups of osmanthus wine, talking, this is a comfortable and comfortable day.

Xie Xuanye inhaled when he saw everyone eating spicy hot pot, his ears and mouth were spicy red, but he still couldn't stop the chopsticks, he glanced at the spicy hot pot and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Qin Shuhuang looked amused, so he sandwiched a piece of beef cooked in a spicy pot and put it in Xie Xuanye's bowl.

"The prince also tastes it."

Xie Xuanye was a little hesitant, Qin Shuhuang had told him to eat a light diet during these days and not to eat stimulating things.

Song Yuan spoke, "It's okay for the prince to eat a bite or two." ”

Song Yuan spoke, Xie Xuanye picked up the chopsticks and picked up the meat that Qin Shuhuang gave him and brought it to his mouth, thinking that this piece of meat was caught by Qin Shuhuang with her chopsticks, and before he ate it, the roots of Xie Xuanye's ears were already slightly red.

After eating this piece of meat in one bite, the taste was fresh, spicy and numb, and when I swallowed it, the domineering taste was still in my mouth.

The spicy pot made by Qin Shuhuang is more domineering and memorable than the taste sold in Bai Lingge Restaurant.

Xie Xuanye is sweet and can't eat spicy food.

This spicy pot tastes good and domineering, but it is not something that he can digest at once for a person who can't eat spicy, a mouthful of beef is in his stomach, so spicy that his mouth is hot, and he subconsciously wants to find water to drink, and when he sees a bowl of half-drunk tea next to him, he pours it down violently when he picks up the tea cup.

When the mouth felt better, he put down the teacup, only to find that the cup of tea was Qin Shuhuang's.

Next to him, Qin Shuhuang also asked, "Lord Wang, is the tea in this palace delicious?" ”

Xie Xuanye forcibly calmed himself, coughed, and replied, "It's okay." But the red ears and neck can't cover it.

It is rare for the elderly Song Yuan to eat such an appetizing pot, eating the pot while drinking, he is very happy, and the interaction between Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye on the other side is all the side dishes of the pot that he eats with wine, not only is he not embarrassed at all, but he is also smiling.

Ye Zi, who was still a girl, couldn't wait to bury her red little face in the bowl at this time.

In the past, her father and mother were at home, and she ate her father's dog food every day, but when she got to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she was forced to eat the dog food of Her Royal Highness and the prince.

If it weren't for the delicious pot, she would have been full by now.

The eldest princess's mansion is happy, but the regent's mansion is as quiet as an ice cave.

In the main courtyard of the Regent Palace, Qin Wei strode in, and the Princess Regent immediately stepped forward with a smile, "The prince is back." ”

The regent glanced at the princess regent, "How are things arranged?" ”

The princess regent said while helping the regent take off his coat: "Don't worry, the princess Liu Gui's concubine has already said that she will not stop the five princesses and relatives, and will help persuade the five princesses that tomorrow morning the court will discuss the matter of peace and marriage, and the prince will definitely go well!" ”
