Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 712 Roasted Sweet Potatoes in the Imperial Study Room

His Majesty heard this and asked, "Rong Ruo, you already knew?"

Lin Jinyu glanced at Qing Luo, and said, "Your Majesty, when Lord Liu discovered these two kinds of grains, I was also there, and I tasted Lord Liu's baked potatoes."

"how is the taste?"

"The taste is really good, and it can replace grain to a certain extent."

Lin Jinyu answered very impressively.

No matter how good potatoes taste, in the hearts of Han people, it is impossible to completely replace rice and rice.

Thousands of years of tradition are not so easy to break.

Hearing what he said, Her Majesty became more and more interested, "Since it was planted by Liu Aiqing and Shangguan is here, why don't we try it together today?"

Shangguan Jun'er was also very interested and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Lin Jinyu naturally had no objection.

On the contrary, Qingluo was flattered: "Your Majesty, do you want to take it to the Imperial Dining Room?"

The queen thought for a while: "Isn't this a newly discovered variety? The imperial chef will definitely not know how to make it. Since Rong Ruo has eaten the potatoes made by Liu Aiqing, why don't you make them here for me to taste."

"Here... here?" Qingluo looked at the gorgeous and exquisite surroundings, and wanted to laugh.

The queen raised her eyebrows: "Why, Liu Aiqing thinks that my place is shabby, and I don't deserve to let you cook with my own hands?"

puff!
Qingluo almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

The empress leaned back on the chair, adjusted to the most comfortable position, and took a moment to say: "In that case, let's start, Ai Qing."

Qing Luo looked around, thinking that it was nothing more than a roasted sweet potato, do you want to build a fire here?

What if some important document in the imperial study is burnt?
Seeing her hesitate, Lin Jinyu said: "Your Majesty, find her a brazier."

Brazier!
Qingluo's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Jinyu appreciatively.

This brain melon seed is different from others, as expected of someone who has seen the world.

However, Lin Jinyu didn't look at her, but stood beside His Majesty, her brows and eyes were all indifferent.

cut!
Is it amazing to look good?

Qingluo retracted her gaze and said, "Your Majesty, Shizi Lin is right, please give me a brazier."

The queen waved the eunuch down to prepare, and asked, "What else do you need?"

"……Gone."

"You mean, as long as there is a brazier, you can cook for His Majesty?" Shangguan Jun'er raised his eyebrows.

Qingluo also felt that this was a bit disgraceful, but she couldn't do anything else besides this.

In fact, there are many styles of sweet potatoes that can be made, but you have to find Su Xin to do it.

Seeing her face full of embarrassment, Shangguan Jun'er stopped asking, and just waited to see what she would do.

The weather was cold, so there were naturally braziers everywhere in the palace, and the inner eunuch quickly brought one, which was burned with the finest silver charcoal.

Except for Lin Jinyu, the empress and Shangguan Jun'er looked at Qingluo curiously, to see how she could cook food with a brazier.

The eunuchs waiting around couldn't help but look this way.

Qing Luo took the basket that Li De had returned, squatted down in front of the brazier, and felt a burst of warmth.

She picked up three or four sweet potatoes and threw them into the basin, and then took the opportunity to roast them.

The three people above just watched her squatting there, with her hands on top of the brazier, and her face was warming comfortably...

The corners of Lin Jinyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a little smile.

"I said, little girl, why are you trying to make a fuss?" Shangguan Jun'er folded his arms and looked at her dissatisfied.

Ask her to make something for His Majesty to eat, she is fine, and the fire is on!

Qingluo squatted motionless, as steady as Mount Tai, and said unhurriedly: "Prime Minister Shangguan, are you hungry?"

When the queen heard this, she pushed a plate of snacks on her dragon table over: "Shangguan eats this cushion first when he is hungry."

Shangguan Juner: "..."

Of course she wasn't hungry, but His Majesty offered to let her eat, would she dare to refuse?
After glaring at Qingluo fiercely, Shangguan Jun'er thanked her, then took a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth.

Qingluo is somewhat innocent.

Wouldn't you like to have the dim sum from Yuci?
She wants to eat yet!
After waiting for a while, Shangguan Jun'er couldn't help asking again: "You... that's it?"

Qingluo: "Yes."

"……how long?"

"It will take about a quarter of an hour..." Qingluo said with a smile, "If Prime Minister Shangguan is hungry..."

"I'm not hungry!" Shangguan Jun'er interrupted her sharply.

She was worried that His Majesty would let her eat snacks again...

People are losing weight!
"Okay!" Qing Luo gave her a strange look.

If you are not hungry, you are not hungry.

Hearing that it will take so long, the empress will naturally not just sit and wait, and simply bring over the unfinished memorials for review.

From time to time, he would discuss something with Shangguan Jun'er.

These are not things that Qing Luo's level can listen to. She watched her eyes and nose, and her nose watched her heart, concentrating on roasting the fire.

Silver charcoal is so easy to use, it doesn't feel like ordinary charcoal is smoky.

There is only one downside, it's too expensive.

Because the roasting was so focused, the green radish forgot the time.

Until Lin Jinyu reminded: "Master Liu, Sweet Potato."

Qingluo groaned, and hurriedly asked the serving inner eunuch for a pair of tongs to pull away the charcoal ashes and get out a few dark sweet potatoes from the charcoal ashes.

Shangguan Jun'er stretched his neck: "Is this still edible?"

"The Prime Minister will know after a taste at the meeting."

Qing Luo took out her handkerchief, picked up a sweet potato, and handed it to Li De.

Li De looked at the dark piece and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Would you mind giving this to His Majesty?

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out, so he took it carefully, and held it in his hands before sending it to His Majesty.

The empress shifted her gaze from the memorial, then froze for a moment: "What is this?"

She dared to forget about it...

Li De smiled and pointed to the green radish and the brazier below, "Your Majesty, this is the honor of Master Liu."

"oh oh……"

The empress glanced at Liu Qingluo, remembered, stared at the sweet potato with great interest, and asked, "Liu Aiqing, how do you eat this?"

"Peel off the outer skin and eat the inside directly."

After Qingluo explained casually, she reached out and took one, and broke it in two, revealing the orange-yellow part inside, which was still steaming.

The fragrant and sweet smell soon permeated the hall.

Qing Luo clearly saw the eunuch who was serving beside her swallow her saliva.

She couldn't help laughing secretly.

The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, especially in this cold season with snow, is probably irresistible to anyone.

"Your Majesty, try it, it's delicious."

Qingluo took a bite, took a hot breath, grinned for a while, but swallowed it all.

"Really?" The queen sniffed and also smelled it.I didn't feel hungry at first, but now I suddenly have an appetite.

Li De has followed the queen for decades, and he knows every move of her like the back of his hand.Seeing this, she hurriedly stepped forward, took out the silver chopsticks and sandwiched the sweet potato in half. Seeing that the color of the silver chopsticks had not changed, she picked up half with confidence, tore off the paste skin, and handed it to the queen.
