Use food to open the way

Xue Mei found that she did not have any particularly complicated needs.

She is not like Cheng Lanqing, and has great ambitions.

This statement is not a derogatory meaning. Xue Mei feels that everyone should have their own goals and ideals, which is very positive and positive. But she doesn't.

She had it before.

At that time, I was looking forward to promotion every day and holidays, and planned my future well and made progress step by step.

This is very hard.

Then something happened, she traveled through time, and all her persistence broke.

Once the energy on her body was broken, it would be difficult to continue. Therefore, after traveling through time, she didn't know which day the "change" would come, so she lived a more casual life.

Before coming to Chu State, she did not regard herself as a person of this era; now, she is making herself feel comfortable as much as possible.

Her request for Xiao Jingcheng was also very simple: if possible, she would be very happy if she could go to Chu State to spend the New Year with her.

He has arrived.

Xue Mei hugged his neck and whispered, "How can such a good thing be considered simple with you with me?"

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

He patted Xue Mei on the back gently.

If Xue Mei doesn't want it, it doesn't mean he can give it away. Xiao Jingcheng's delivery this time was very special, and he found a chef who was good at cooking.

This chef's knife skills are very good, and he can make the mutton slices as thin as a cicada's wings.

Winter is here, how can you eat without hot pot?

Moreover, Xue Mei has found peppercorns and planted some wild peppers. She is improving the hot pot step by step. The mutton hot pot is definitely an indispensable delicacy in winter.

"I'll give it to the palace, and your Majesty should like it very much." Xue Mei said.

Emperor Jianhong was not greedy, but giving him fresh things to try is also his duty as a son.

Xue Mei and others gave it to him, but Emperor Jianhong may not be willing to try it, but Xiao Jingcheng was different.

"I will ask someone to send it off," said Xiao Jingcheng.

He indeed gave the complete set of equipment and another chef who knew how to slice mutton to the emperor.

The emperor was not very interested in such fancy things.

"This is from the Liang Kingdom. I heard that it was invented by Chengyang Marquis during the Liang Kingdom." Xiao Jingcheng said.

Not to mention the emperor, everyone around the emperor is intriguing now.

Chengyang Hou is best at clever thinking. Since it was invented by her, it is naturally unusual.

Emperor Jianhong said: "Call the empresses and try them all."

He didn't mention any empresses.

But Eunuch Wei, who was beside the emperor, was simply a worm in his stomach, and he knew very well which empresses should be invited to accompany him at this time.

Concubine De can't do it.

Defei was vegetarian and invited her to come. She would not eat and sit next to her, which would only disappoint her.

I would like to invite a few ladies who love to eat and can joking.

Eunuch Wei sent someone to invite him.

Sure enough, when the emperor saw the three concubines coming in, his eyebrows and eyes were stretched.

When the mutton pot came up, a concubine immediately said, "It smells so good."

"Aren't you afraid of smell?" the emperor asked her.

The concubine: "When I was at my parents' home, I loved eating lamb soup the most - big pieces of tender lamb meat. Grandmother said that this thing is the most nourishing and warm.

We always eat lamb soup in winter, and my grandmother and I eat it. My sisters don’t like it and get sick from time to time. I never get sick in winter. My grandmother said that a sheep can replace ten kilograms of medicine.”

She is indeed versatile.

The emperor said that he was a little coveted about mutton.

Then, the water from the hot pot boiled. The eunuch kept in mind what King Jing taught, put the mutton in and rinse it out quickly, and then mixed with the ingredients.

The concubine tasted it and her eyes lit up slightly: "So tender! What a new way to eat it!"

The other two tasted it, and they all said it was delicious.

The emperor was still hesitating, and the eunuch brought him a portion. He looked left and then again, and always felt that the mutton would be greasy and fishy.

It was okay to smell it, but the old man finally decided to give it a try and make plans to vomit it out at any time.

Unexpectedly, the mutton in my mouth was not as fishy as expected, but it had a bit of sesame fragrance. The meat after the fragrance was tender and smooth, and was more delicious than an egg custard.

The emperor was stunned.

"Don't touch the ingredients." said the emperor.

The eunuch gave him the rinse meat directly.

The emperor's taste was not very strong, and the soup was complete, so he could eat it directly. Therefore, he finally had a slightly spicy mutton.

Tasty, tender mouth.

It seemed like this was the first time the emperor knew that the meat was delicious, so he asked the eunuch to leave and he smeared himself.

The concubines also learn from it.

The chef was busy cutting the mutton, but there was still some of it not enough.

When Eunuch Wei saw that the emperor had eaten for a long time, he didn't know how to stop chopsticks. He said that he had used six kilograms of mutton.

In other words, the emperor ate more than one pound.

You can't eat anymore, and you may have to accumulate food if you eat again.

"Grandpa, please be more at ease." Eunuch Wei stepped forward to serve, "Warm mutton, be careful that you can't stand it if you eat too much."

The emperor seemed reluctant to leave.

He is old and his taste is deteriorating, and the dishes he cooks in the palace are actually not delicious.

It is said that the imperial chef is so great, but the imperial chef is like an imperial doctor. He does not seek merit but does not seek any mistakes. It is a mean method, and cooking according to tradition.

The emperor hadn't eaten such delicacies in years.

"Come here, I will appreciate the golden wine bottles of Prince Jing's mansion." The emperor said, "The King Jing's offering delicious food is a contribution. This delicious food was created by the Marquis of Chengyang in Liang State, and he also rewarded the 100 taels of gold."

With rewards, they will naturally spread.

Everyone is very curious.

Not to mention the ancient times when communications and transportation were extremely backward, even in the space age, there were still planets with information not being smooth. It was normal for the Liang Kingdom to know many things, but Chu Kingdom didn't know about them.

Just like mutton hotpot, it is not a strategic invention, and the spies of Chu will definitely not report this to their master.

The people of Chu didn't know what this was.

When the emperor said that everyone was interested and curious. When they were curious, they went to the Zhuang Palace as a guest.

There was no one living in the Marquis' Mansion of Xue Mei at all. She was still in the Zhuang Prince's Mansion and vowed to be in the same heart as Zhuang Prince.

"I'm a distinguished guest when I come, please entertain me with a shabu." Xue Mei said to Xue Chi.

Eight more chefs came to the kitchen for a moment, all of whom were temporarily hired from restaurants, with excellent knife skills.

The Zhuang Palace has seven or eight tables open a day, and they all come to try the mutton pot that the emperor praised.

After eating, they will be delicious unless they really have any special dietary habits.

"I've never eaten mutton like this."

"This soup base is the ability. I see what fresh things are put?"

"Marce Chengyang is really smart and she knows everything. What's the reason?"

Even the prince brought the princess and others to come to the house to taste the mutton pot from the Zhuang Prince's Mansion.

The prince thought this thing was delicious, so he said to Xue Chi: "It's better to open a restaurant and sell this thing specifically. We brothers can work together."

Xue Chi: "Brother, it's a coincidence. You said you were one step late. Your Highness Jing had already told her sister that they wanted to open this restaurant together. Besides, the secret recipe is not mine, but sister's, so we can't do this business."

Prince: "…"

In an instant, the prince's face looked very bad.

The Crown Princess hurriedly mediated from it, said some comforting words, and said that the crown prince of a country was inappropriate to do business and compete for profit with the people.

The prince's face was slightly relaxed.

And at this moment, Xue Mei came back from outside.

"Crown Princess, I have something to ask you to disturb you, but I can't miss you." Xue Mei smiled.
