Chapter 322
"Too deceiving!"

Mr. Shu Xin rose up against the case, and the long-bearded scholar followed.

Jiang Baoyu didn't give in, and had already started to straighten her clothes, ready to get up and leave.

Only the short-bearded scholar suddenly shouted: "Young man——"

His high-pitched voice attracted everyone to look over, thinking that the old guy was about to fire, but he suddenly changed his face and said with a smile: "It's normal to be more angry. But Emperor Yan, don't forget—— "

After speaking, he turned to the emperor and said with a nonchalant smile: "Dayue and Yan Kingdom are still friendly neighbors. I waited for this visit with sincerity. Is this the way Yan Kingdom treats guests? ?”

The emperor coughed lightly, and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Baoyu. Although he was really happy to eat melons just now, there was nothing wrong with what the Yue people said.

As friends of Yan and Yue, if they really wanted to offend them so much, they would inevitably ask him to come down the steps afterwards, even if they couldn't give cotton planting techniques, they would have to give something else.

"What Mr. Wen said is true. Isn't it because of the diplomatic relations between the two countries that I will meet you personally?"

As he spoke, he immediately gave the angel around him a wink and ordered someone to send the meal up.

When all the delicacies were served and the fragrance filled the court, everyone's expressions finally calmed down, and the emperor held up the wine cup and smiled happily: "This is the unique nectar and jade liquid of my big swallow. , for you to taste."

Jiang Baoyu took a closer look, and found that they were indeed Dayan's unique products, but maybe they lacked a seasoning to cater for Yue people's taste.

So she came up with a plan, turned around and called the maid who was serving the dishes to her side, and whispered a few words.

"It's mine."

The palace maid had seen Jiang Baoyu talking privately with the emperor several times, and had heard a lot about her, knowing that she was a popular person around the empress, so she nodded yes and withdrew.

After a while, Sun Shangshi of the Shangshi Bureau led two Zhang Shi who brought in the food utensils, and two servants who carried the table, and saluted the emperor together.

The envoys of the Yue Kingdom were invited to the emperor's impromptu idea, and all the food menus were handed over to the Shangshi Bureau, so he didn't know the content, but thought it was arranged in advance, and also signaled Sun Shangshi not to be restrained, just show it.

After the waiter put down the table, the two masters put the food utensils in their hands on the table, and opened the lids one by one.

I saw a big lively carp in the first food container.

Everyone in Dayan often eats this dish and loves it very much. When they see this posture, they start to salivate uncontrollably.

But when the lid of the second tableware was lifted, it shocked the envoys of the Yue Kingdom.

Zhang Shi actually pulled out an eight-inch long slender dagger from it, the two scholars' eyes were glazed over, and they almost retreated with Mr. Shu Xin, just as they were about to criticize the emperor, Jiang Baoyu suddenly spoke.

"Envoys, don't panic."

She raised Jiu Jue to her lips with both hands, and said with a smile: "It's about state affairs just now, and the words between you and me are unavoidable. This dish is called Sha Sheng Yu, which is well-known in my Dayan family, and it can be called a national dish. The official paid for it out of his own pocket and asked Sun Shangshi to give a demonstration to you in court to express his apology."

After she finished speaking, she drank the fine wine in the wine jug in one gulp.

As soon as he heard that it was really a fish born with evil spirits, the emperor's throat subconsciously moved again.

Ever since he became the emperor of Laoshizi, he has been under the supervision of the empress and imperial physicians all day long, but he hasn't eaten this dish for a long time.

Now that the queen and the imperial physician are not here, he will see who dares to stop him from trying something new.

He was so happy that he didn't even pursue Jiang Baoyu's arbitrariness in offering this dish.

Shu Xin and the others also realized that they were overreacting at this moment, so they hurriedly arranged their clothes and sat back down.

Seeing that Sun Shangshi was sharp with a knife, he quickly removed the skin of the carp, shaved off the meat at both ends of the carp's back, and handed it to one of the palms to cut the meat into shreds, and then soaked it in a tableware filled with vinegar.

The other palm set up a charcoal fire on the lid of the eating utensil just now, and put the fish skin that Sun Shangshi removed on it to roast.

After a while, the fish oil was fried, and there was a smell of burnt smell.

After removing the fish scales on the palm, he brought it back to Sun Shangshi and cut it into strips.

At the same time, the ingredients have been cut, and Sun Shangshi fishes out the shredded fish, puts them into a tableware together with the grilled fish skin and ingredients, adds spices, and puts them into exquisite emerald leaf plates In the middle of the day, he ordered someone to bring it to everyone.

After the completion of the work, Sun Shangshi led the two palms and left with the things they brought, and did not stay in the Luocheng Palace.

The emperor was so greedy that he was drooling, and now he was only focused on eating fish, and he didn't have the heart to look at anything else. Even so, he only took two mouthfuls, and Tianyi reminded him: "Everyone, the imperial doctor said that raw food is forbidden."

The emperor was taken aback, and turned his head to look disgusted. He really avoided the empress and the imperial physician, but he couldn't hide from this old thing after all.

Jiang Baoyu hadn't eaten this dish for a long time, and she was too greedy, but at this moment, her mind was not on the dish at all, but on the envoy of Yue Kingdom.

A few people took out the silver needles and tried them on the dishes for a while, but they didn't see the silver needles turning black before they started to taste the dishes. Just a few dishes were served, they all did this, it's not unusual.

Shasheng fish tastes sweet and sour when you first eat it, and the fish is so thin that it almost melts in your mouth.

The three of them nodded again and again, but before they took two bites, a mysterious force suddenly came out from the gap between their teeth and rushed straight to Baihui. The three of them were caught off guard and grabbed their own throats, trying to spit out the food.

Still looking at each other, whispered to the signal: "Have you tasted it too? Is it poisonous?"

"I think it's poison."

"But the opposite side shares the same bowl of food with me, not only is it okay, but also eats with great relish. Could it be that he took the antidote in advance?"

The others were concentrating on eating the raw fish, not paying attention to the expressions of the three of them.

Only Jiang Baoyu noticed everything, and couldn't help laughing: "The envoys of the Yue Kingdom don't have to worry, there is a spice in the Shasheng fish, which is called mustard. After eating it, the whole body will feel transparent, and it will never work. Everyone. I’m not used to it now, but I’ll get used to it after two more bites.”

Jiang Baoyu spoke so loudly that everyone around heard it, and someone whispered, "This Yueman is indeed a native of the Southern Barbarians, and he doesn't even know mustard. The most pungent is mustard, which was used as a spice in the Western Zhou Dynasty. , they don’t even know.”

The faces of the three Yue people were so angry that their faces turned red, Shu Xin was the most unconvinced, and immediately said: "I, Yue people, eat mainly sweets and eat less spicy food. What's so strange about not knowing mustard? Do you know -"

"Master Shu Xin——"

Jiang Baoyu didn't ask Shu Xin to finish speaking, and immediately raised his wine cup and said: "It's all because I didn't think carefully. Come on, I will offer you a cup, and invite you, Mr. Shu Xin. Don't be like a little girl like me." care about."

"You—you're so cheap and—"

"Son—"

Shu Xin was so angry that he was about to lift the table, but the short-bearded scholar beside him called Mr. Wen ate the raw fish without changing his face and said: "If you come here, you will be safe, and you can do as the Romans do."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Wen put the last piece of grilled fish skin in the cold dish into his mouth, and chewed it crunchily...
