Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 247
Yuan Shouwei had always stayed away from officialdom. After listening to Wu Fu's explanation, he suddenly realized.He opened his mouth and said:

"Then there's no need to pay homage to this one, right?"

Wu Fu smiled and said:
"Anyway, it's just the two of us. If you give me some bribes, I can avoid this process for you."

Yuan Shouwei said angrily:

"I'm just a miserable little Taoist priest. I only need money and my life."

Wu Fu nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, that's enough. What I want is your words. From now on, you will be my princess's."

The two joked a little more, and Wu Fu handed the imperial edict note to Yuan Shouwei.

Yuan Shouwei opened it to watch, and there were only a few words on it, very colloquial.

It means that I, Li Shimin, deeply appreciate your hard work and merits, so I decided to build a house for you personally, and also rewarded you with a number of servants and a royal chef.

When Yuan Shouwei saw the end, he couldn't help but hesitate a little. He personally prefers peace and quiet and doesn't like to order people around.

He suddenly felt uncomfortable after rewarding so many people at once.

Wu Fu on the side looked at Yuan Shouwei's expression and said knowingly:

"What's wrong, are you not satisfied with the reward His Majesty gave you?"

Yuan Shouwei looked at Wu Fu, smiled and said:

"Zhao'er, you know my character, and the rest are fine. As for these people, can your Majesty send them back?"

Wu Fu's two big watery eyes were already cracked with laughter:

"I'm sorry, it's sold by Royal and will not be returned or exchanged."

"However, I have already solved these problems for you."

When I said this, my face was filled with the expression that you are about to praise me.

Naturally, Yuan Shouwei could see her little thoughts at a glance, and after a generous compliment, he said:
"Hao Zhao'er, please tell me quickly, how did you solve it?"

Feeling relieved by Yuan Shouwei's compliments, Wu Fu said with satisfaction:

"Of course I know your character, so I thought of a compromise."

"Arranged all these people in my house. I only left you a servant who is close to you and a dealer."

"As for the royal chef, I beg the Queen to please take it back and come over to cook for you once every ten days."

"How about this arrangement?"

After listening to Wu Yan's arrangement, Yuan Shouwei looked at her with softer eyes. He didn't expect to handle things so properly at such a young age. This will definitely be my high-quality and virtuous wife in the future.

Wu Yan saw satisfaction from Yuan Shouwei's eyes, and happily took Yuan Shouwei's hand and said:
"Come on, let's go to the kitchen first and see how the imperial chef cooks?"

What the hell?Shouldn't you take me to visit my mansion first? Yuan Shouwei cursed, remembering Wu Fu's foodie attributes, and then he followed him.

The two stepped into the tall and spacious kitchen. When they looked up, they saw smoked chicken and bacon hanging from the beams, and sauce jars with various seasonings placed under the eaves in the corner.

There are also many kitchen maids and waiters standing behind the high table, washing, peeling and chopping, and several large stoves are spitting out flames.
Yuan Shouwei felt a little unhappy when he saw so many people busy and noisy.

And when I think about it, so many people have to serve me alone, and I feel even more inappropriate.

At this time, a chubby man came over and saluted: "The villain Wen She has met the national preceptor and the princess."

Yuan Shouwei also returned the gift with his hand, and Wu Fu introduced that this was the imperial cook rewarded by his majesty: Wen She
Up to now, the right person is the master of state banquets. He is a person who eats with his true ability. Yuan Shouwei naturally takes a high look at him.After the two parties greeted each other, Wen She took out a long menu and handed it to Yuan Shouwei respectfully:

"Master, this is today's lunch menu. Please take a look."

Yuan Shouwei glanced at the long menu: Guangming Shrimp Grilled, Tonghua Soft Beef Intestine, Yulu Dumpling, Onion and Vinegar Chicken, Phoenix Fetus, Sheepskin Floss. There were at least dozens of dishes.

Looking at Wu Fu beside him, he asked softly:
"Are these your favorite food?"

Wu Yan shook his head and said:
"How can you eat so much? It's just that His Highness arranged that this is your first time to eat, so he made the preparations more generous."

After hearing this, Yuan Shouwei smiled and said:

"Then there's no need to waste it. You choose a few things you like to eat, and I'll choose two."

Then he turned to Wenshe and said:
"Mr. Wen, please also pick out a few of Her Highness's favorite foods, and don't do anything else to avoid wasting it."

"Actually, I also like food, but let's take our time."

"I will have to trouble you a lot in the future."

Wenshe was also a smart man. He listened to Yuan Shouwei's words and actions and was thorough in everything. He smiled and agreed and followed Yuan Shouwei's instructions.

After the arrangements were completed, he came over with some embarrassment and said:
"Master, you see some of the dishes have already been cooked. It would be a pity to throw them away."

Yuan Shouwei laughed and said:

"How can you throw it away? You can all eat these. It's a shameful waste."

"You can also show me these delicacies, and I will gain a lot of experience."

Wen She thought to herself: I just heard that this Imperial Master has no airs, but now I saw him and realized that he is so approachable.He felt a little more admired and said:
"In front of the Imperial Master, I will introduce you one by one."

He led the two of them to a large stove, opened the steamer, and a burst of white mist mixed with a rich milky fragrance steamed up.

When the white mist dissipated, Yuan Shouwei watched intently, only to see a big golden, buttery, soft and loose bun on top of the steamer.

Wenshe graciously introduced:

"Master, this is called 'Single Cage Golden Milk Soup'. It is made by kneading yellow butter and flour."

Yuan Shouwei nodded secretly. This should be a big custard bun. It looks good. I like it.

Pulling Wu Yan, who was drooling next to him, he continued to look forward.

"National Teacher, look over here." Wenshe opened another steamer, and inside this steamer was a round flower-shaped steamed cake, which looked ordinary.

But after listening to Wen She's explanation, I realized that it is made of extremely soft dough, smeared with oil in layers, folded and rotated seven times, and finally folded into a flower shape and steamed. It is called "Qihui Cake".

After reading this, Wen She opened a cage next to him and introduced:
"This is called 'gold and silver sandwiched flower cut-off'. First, the dough is rolled into a skin, and the picked crab roe and crab meat are placed on it."

"Then roll it into a long roll and cut it into small sections with a knife. Because the cross section of the roll is yellow and white, it is called 'gold and silver cut with flowers'."

Wu Fu obviously had never eaten it before and said eagerly beside him:
"Does this look like it's already done?"

Wen She heard the string and knew its meaning, and immediately replied:
"Yes, I'm about to invite the Imperial Master and Princess to taste it."

After finishing speaking, he went to get two exquisite plates and presented two steaming hot dishes to the two of them.

Yuan Shouwei picked it up and took a bite. His mouth was immediately filled with the fragrance of flour, crab roe and crab meat. It tasted really good.

He looked around and asked with interest:
"These are all steamed, what other types are there?"
