Guozijian little cook

The next day, it started to snow early in the morning.

Because today was a dinner party, Xiao Nianzhi went to the imperial dining room early to discuss the next progress with the chefs.

Of course, the chefs themselves are also capable, and they don't always rely on Xiao Nianzhi for everything.

So today, everyone brainstormed and came up with two dishes that look particularly impressive and taste great.

A flower of wealth blooms and a bright future.

The names are well chosen, but in fact, the ingredients used are not that complicated.

The flower of wealth is actually carved from radish. It uses the same soup base as boiled cabbage. The radish has been carefully processed to remove the spicy taste and tastes good.

Splendid Future is a rather grand carved cold dish. The base material is sliced ​​ham, and the auxiliary ingredients are radish, carrots, sweet potatoes and potatoes carved into various flowers, paving a beautiful road.

Although there are some creative ideas, it actually draws on Xiao Nianzhi’s previous dishes.

However, Xiao Nianzhi agreed, and everyone started studying it with confidence.

This saved Xiao Nianzhi a lot of trouble. She spent the whole day eating and drinking in the imperial dining room.

From pre-dinner snacks to after-dinner canned fruits.

There are not many fruits in the palace, just apples and pears.

However, in summer and autumn, I prepare a lot of canned fruits. If the jars are sealed tightly, they can actually be stored for a long time.

Just like in modern times, the principle of making various cans by yourself is the same.

Xiao Nianzhi ate and drank all day, and when it was time for the dinner, she was ready to go back to bed, but someone from the palace came over in a hurry.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi, the palace man breathed a long sigh of relief, and then quickly explained the situation ahead.

For two consecutive days, the envoy was in a state of shock.

They also don’t want to look like they are too country bumpkin or ignorant.

Therefore, they are also prepared to show off their unique skills.

In the original words of their moon envoy: "The food and wine are over, so I thought about making a drink. The drink is called milk tea. Although it is not produced in Xilou, it tastes salty and has a mellow taste. On my way to the Central Plains, I also I’ve never seen it before, and I don’t think I’ve ever drank it before coming here.”

If it was something else, Yan Xingxuan would actually be too lazy to show up.

But, was it not a coincidence that he hit the muzzle of the gun?

Considering the milk tea matter, if Xiao Nianzhi took action, he would have to torment the little girl. He was not prepared to talk about it.

But he couldn't stand it anymore, the moon emissary had other thoughts, such as...

I want to get in touch with Yan Xingxuan's cousin who is not close to my aunt's family - Miss Yongxiang.

The name of the girl Yongxiang in Xilou is - Yongxiang Xiaojun.

Yan Xingxuan had heard the emperor's brother mention the other party's identity before. After comparing it, he felt that the other party's identity was probably equivalent to their county chief.

Of course, Yan Xingxuan is not actually interested in her identity.

You are the princess of Xilou, and Yan Xingxuan doesn’t want you either!

However, Yue Shi obviously didn't think so.

For two days in a row, the emperor didn't pay too much attention to or react to the people in Xilou, which made Yue Shi very anxious.

No, as soon as he got the opportunity, the Moon Envoy began to recommend his own people: "The craftsmanship of our Yong Xiang Jun is unparalleled in the West Tower. It is easy not to taste it with others. This time I am anxious and want to show my talent." "Fan, this would be a disgrace."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Yue Shi changed the topic again and looked in the direction of Yan Xingxuan: "Speaking of which, Your Highness the King of Wei is also the cousin of Yongxiang Xiaojun. Yongxiang first came here, and he didn't know much about the palace. I’m not familiar with it, but if I can, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble His Highness the King of Wei to bring along Xiaojun Yongxiang.”

After Yue Shi finished speaking, Xiaojun Yongxiang stood up on his own initiative. Seeing what he meant, as long as His Majesty spoke, she was ready to go directly and follow Yan Xingxuan.

As for whether there will be any opportunities along the way?Yue Shi had already winked at her, and Yongxiang Xiaojun also knew that her purpose in coming to the Central Plains this time would naturally be her intention.

If it hadn't been for the ugly scene, Yan Xingxuan would have wanted to leave on the spot.

However, in the end, the emperor’s brother’s face still needs to be considered.

So, he turned his head and glanced at the imperial brother.

The two brothers made eye contact.

Yan Xingxuan's meaning is very obvious: If the emperor brother doesn't stop it, then the minister is afraid that he will overturn the table!

Seeing Xiao Liu being so angry that his eyebrows were almost crooked, His Majesty could hardly hold back and burst out laughing.

However, in the end, we still have to give face to the envoy, and it doesn't look good if Yan Xingxuan comes out about this.

His Majesty gave Yan Xingxuan a reassuring look, and then said with a smile: "Yue Shi has never seen milk tea on the street. It is normal. After all, tea and milk are extremely precious. How can ordinary people be willing to spend the day?" Drink this every day.”

Upon hearing the emperor's words, Yue Shi had a bad intuition, but he couldn't guess what was wrong.

As she said, milk tea is indeed not their local drink in Xilou, but the drink of Yu Zhi and Da Yu. As for who originally came from it, she doesn't know.

However, it later spread to the West Tower.

Also because milk and tea are precious, except for members of the royal family, others rarely have the opportunity to taste them.

It was only through the light of her being a moon messenger that she had the opportunity to taste it occasionally.

The reason why I brought it up at this time was just because I wanted to show off my skills.

However, when the emperor spoke at this time, Yue Shi always felt that something was wrong.

However, before she could say anything, she heard His Majesty speak again: "However, people in the harem will taste it from time to time, either salty or sweet, and taro balls can be added to it. Add pearls, add red beans..."

Your Majesty has tasted all the ingredients that Xiao Nianzhi can add now.

Although she didn't make it herself, the chefs are still very capable of copying it.

To be honest, the emperor didn't really like it.

Whether it's salty or sweet, that's all.

He still prefers the taste of tea itself.

It's just that he doesn't like Gui very much, but he can't let the envoy underestimate them.

I heard that milk tea is sweet?
You can also add pearls and taro balls to make the moon feel confused.

No, what are taro balls?
What are pearls?
Can that thing be eaten?
And, sweet milk tea?

That sugar is also precious!

Doesn't this increase the cost?
Think about it again, this person is His Majesty the Emperor.

Oh, that's fine.

Yue Shi was neither advancing nor retreating at this time. He had a smug look on his face. After a long time, he accepted his fate and said, "Your Majesty's words have aroused my curiosity."

As soon as they were curious, Xiao Nianzhi came to life.

She was already drowsy and was just waiting for the dinner to end before she went back to take a bath and sleep.

As a result, when it was time to get off work, I was suddenly notified...

Hey?
work overtime!
Xiao Nianzhi:.
