Chapter 1153 What is Squid?

Looking at Xia Zheng's vigilant eyes, Helianuo immediately felt a sense of pride that he had succeeded in a trick, but before the smile on his mouth widened, Lin Yuan had already exposed him without hesitation.

"Prince Helian, the agreement you mentioned seems to be unilateral, right? I didn't promise you!"

Heliano 囧, looking at Xia Zheng's smug face, his teeth itch with anger.

Lin Yuan was also very happy to get the old emperor's twelve taels of gold and Heliano's pearl bracelet.

When she turned around, she directly took a gold ingot from the tray and threw it to the little eunuch who had helped her with the work before.

The little eunuch was holding the heavy gold ingot in his hand, his eyes almost popped out, and he stammered and asked: "Jun, princess, this, this is..."

"This is a reward for you, take it! Thank you for helping me just now!"

Lin Yuan waved her hand amiably and smiled lightly.

The little eunuch was very pleasantly surprised, and quickly knelt down to thank her.

What Lin Yuan disliked most was that these people knelt down at every turn, and immediately stopped talking to him, for fear that the little eunuch would keep kneeling.

The little eunuch here got the gold ingot and the tomato from Lin Yuan. Although the tomato is not expensive, it is an honor after all!
The other two little eunuchs who were helping together looked at him enviously, regretting why such a good thing didn't happen to them.

Lin Yuan sat leisurely in her seat, playing with Xia Zheng on the pearl bracelet Heliano sent.

The pearl bracelet was translucent and sparkling, it looked like a good thing, even Xia Zheng couldn't help but praise it.

Now that the game was over, the old emperor naturally let Lu Chong and Bai Jing go back to the imperial dining room.

However, before leaving, Lu Chong suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it."

It's too bold for a little royal chef to dare to ask for approval in front of the emperor!

Some officials were about to reprimand, but the old emperor nodded in a good mood.

Lu Chong gave a salute, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the two dishes Princess Pingxi made just now are not available in the Imperial Dining Room, I have the courage to ask Princess Pingxi to reward the Imperial Dining Room with the recipe for these two dishes. In the future, I will cook these two dishes for your majesty and empress to honor your majesty."

It turned out that they wanted to ask for Lin Yuan's secret recipe!

Lin Yuan frowned, obviously surprised.

Xia Zheng curled his lips, but before he could say his refusal, Lin Yuan agreed first.

"Your Majesty, the original intention of my servants to cook these two dishes is to honor your Majesty and Your Majesty, but after all, my servants live outside the palace and cannot often enter the palace to serve Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Since Lord Lu has proposed it, my servants should serve The recipes of these two dishes are given to Mr. Lu."

Now that Lin Yuan agreed, the old emperor was naturally happy to see the result.

Concubine Shu also smiled and said: "Yuan'er, this girl is really sensible. Today's two dishes can be regarded as filling Your Majesty's heart. Just now, the concubine was joking with Sister Tian Concubine. Today, only Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager Being able to taste such delicious food, it seems that in the future, the courtiers and concubines will also be able to have this kind of food!"

Concubine Tian also echoed with a smile: "What my sister said is that when my sister watched His Majesty eating that little burden just now, her mouth was really watering! There is also the empress's fish-flavored shredded pork, you can tell it just by smelling it." Absolutely delicious!"

The queen gave the two of them a smile, and said softly: "You two have the sweetest mouths, and I will ask the imperial dining room to cook such a dish for each of you in the future, so that you can eat it every day, and see when you can eat it." Let you get tired of eating!"

"This food is so delicious, you won't get tired of eating it for a long time!"

Concubine Tian covered her lips and giggled. After all, she was the youngest among the concubines, her voice was soft and sweet, and her movements were cute and cute.

The old emperor glanced sideways and felt better.

The few people here are harmonious and happy, but Concubine Liu over there looks like an outsider who has been isolated, and her teeth itch even more.

Lu Chong bowed to Lin Yuan, and left the hall with Bai Jing.

After this competition, although there are very few people who can taste Lin Yuan's cooking skills, as long as they think that when they enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet in the future, they will be able to eat fish-flavored pork shreds and Beijing sauce pork shreds. The interest is also a little high.

Seeing Lin Yuan playing with the string of pearls in his hand, Heliano smiled and said: "It seems that the Princess likes this string of pearls very much. Fan Qi Encounter!"

As he spoke, an indescribable expression appeared on Heliannuo's face, one of nostalgia and amazement.

However, when everyone was waiting for him to tell about this adventure, this guy changed the subject and changed the subject.

"Princess Pingxi not only has superb cooking skills, but also has a deep understanding of ingredients. I wonder if the princess knows something called squid?"

squid?

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, and looked at Heliannuo with a little more inquiring eyes.

What do squid do for no reason?
Lin Yuan is naturally very familiar with squid. Grilled squid was often sold on the street in the past.

However, just because she is so familiar with it doesn't mean that others know it too.At least there are no more than five people in the entire hall who really know about squid.

An official said thoughtfully: "Squid, seems to be a kind of fish that is abundant in the coastal area of ​​Dongling, right? I heard that there are a lot of them there, but because of the inconvenient transportation, we in Dayong seldom see them. something!"

What this person said is the truth. In this era, the transportation and cold storage technology are relatively backward. In addition, people still don’t know how to make squid into dried squid that is not afraid of spoilage. Therefore, countries such as Dayong and Xiliang can’t eat it. Squid is a seafood.

Xia Zheng traveled all over the country before, although he has been to the border of Dongling, he has never gone deep into the sea, so he has only seen some dry little fish.

"Speaking of which, this squid is also very strange, with eight legs and a soft body. When Prince Helian mentioned this, did he want to make a grilled squid for everyone?"

Xia Zheng looked at Heliano jokingly, with a deep smile on his lips.

Of course, Heliano didn't have squid for everyone to eat, and he suddenly brought it up because he happened to taste a particularly delicious squid when he visited Tanglin before.

"Second Young Master Xia is really joking. Where can the prince find a squid to roast? I just thought that Princess Pingxi is well-informed and must know about squid, so I just wanted to ask her. He agrees!"

Afraid that Xia Zheng might misunderstand, Heliano quickly spread his hands to express his position.

Xia Zheng pursed the corners of his lips, and touched his nose embarrassingly, not blaming him for fussing over a molehill, but today's affairs are too troublesome, and he even had a game after just having a meal.

"Don't worry, it's just a squid, I know."

Lin Yuan held La Xiazheng's hand tightly, nodded at him with a smile, and said to Heliannuo, "Lin Yuan has never seen the squid that Prince Helian mentioned, but she has heard of it! Squid does look weird, but it tastes great, and it can be made into grilled squid, squid stuffed with glutinous rice and other foods.”

Squid stuffed with glutinous rice?Heliano knew the deliciousness of grilled squid, so he naturally looked forward to the glutinous rice stuffed with squid that Lin Yuan mentioned.

But now there is no squid, Lin Yuan didn't plan to talk more about how to make these dishes, so she continued: "Aside from squid, I wonder if Prince Helian has heard of small octopus? That is cuttlefish. Small octopus is smaller than squid , the meat is more tender, but it is very delicious when made into octopus balls, and a layer of bonito flakes is sprinkled on top, tsk tsk, this thing is very delicious!"

Gudong!

Hearing Lin Yuan talk about the octopus balls, Heliano swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he had returned to Dongling and tasted the grilled squid that existed in his memory.

Cough, cough, cough!
The old emperor's saliva almost flowed out, he coughed embarrassingly, and wiped it on the corner of his mouth.

"Girl Pingxi is really knowledgeable and talented. If we, Dayong, can also have this squid, it can be said to be a blessing for the common people!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

When the old emperor said a word, all the officials below immediately agreed with one voice.

Xia Zheng curled his lips, where is the well-being of the people, obviously the old man wants to eat it himself!And that group of officials must be thinking about eating squid one by one!

Lin Yuan just smiled and didn't say anything. Squid can be seen everywhere in Tanglin, but it is still difficult to transport it to the inland.

However, if there are ice cubes, it may be possible to freeze them and ship them, but the cost will be high.

After all, in this day and age, ice cubes are not everywhere.

However, Heliano's words obviously dispelled Lin Yuan's doubts.

"Your Majesty, it's actually not that hard to get squid!"

Not difficult?

Now, even Lin Yuan was aroused.

Heliannuo grinned, raised his hand and cupped his fists to the old emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the chef of Pingxi County in your country is superb, even if I have traveled to many neighboring countries, I have never seen a ghost like her People who are full of fresh recipes. I have a wish, if Dayong can hold a grand culinary art exchange conference, I think it will definitely make Princess Pingxi's superb culinary skills famous all over the world."

"At that time, not to mention Dayong, Xiliang, and Dongling, even Beirong and Nanjiang may send people to participate! Such a grand event that demonstrates the power of Dayong, I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Hold a culinary art exchange conference that everyone in the world can participate in?

A look of sarcasm immediately appeared on the faces of many officials. Is she worthy of holding such a grand event just for Lin Yuan?

Cheng Yuexiu muttered even more mercilessly: "Just rely on her? A little village girl still wants to make her name in front of the world? Dreaming!"

However, whether this matter is a dream or not is not something that a little official lady like her can say for sure.

Judging by the expression on the old emperor's face, it was obvious that he was very interested in this matter.What he thought of was not whether Lin Yuan could become famous all over the world, but what he thought of was the friendly exchanges with several neighboring countries.

Beirong people have always been bold, but they are not liked by Dayong people because they are too bold. Everyone says they are savages.

As for Southern Xinjiang, because the living places are different, I heard that the people there always carry some poisonous insects and weeds on their bodies, and Dayong people avoid these people even more.

Even if Heliano talked about the whole world, he had automatically excluded these two countries in his heart.

Moreover, he represents Xiliang, and his suggestion naturally shows that Xiliang is willing to participate.

It is a good way to communicate the feelings of the people of the two countries and strengthen the friendly exchanges between the two countries through delicious food.

"Besides, I have some kind of friendship with Prince Cheng of Dongling. With his help, there must be a way to transport some seafood from Dongling to Dayong. At that time, let alone squid, it will be small octopus." , abalone, lobster, you can taste everything you want!"

Heliannuo's chest slapped loudly, making the old emperor smile endlessly.

Naturally, the old emperor had heard of the famous title of Lord Cheng of Dongling. It was said that he was brave and good at fighting, completely wiped out the pirates along the coast of Dongling, and gave the common people a good life to live and work in peace and contentment.

A prince with such a good reputation will definitely not refuse such a grand event of friendly exchanges.

"it is good!"

With a good word out, the old emperor immediately made a decision and was willing to hold such a grand event.

"Since this grand event is based on food as a bridge, let's announce to the world that anyone with cooking skills, no matter ordinary people or high-ranking officials, can participate!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the officials immediately echoed in unison, and Lin Yuan couldn't help but a black line fell on her head. Could it be that these officials couldn't speak other than these four words?Such a big matter was decided so casually?Who knows if this Xiliang prince has other thoughts?
Although she felt that Heliano was a worthy friend, after all, the two had different positions, and no one could tell whether they would betray their friend for the sake of their respective countries.Therefore, the heart of guarding against others cannot be let go.

"Do not worry!"

A gentle business sounded in her ears, Lin Yuan looked up in surprise, and saw Xia Zheng smiling in her ears and said: "A few days ago, the person I sent to Xiliang sent back news that the Xiliang court has not been doing well recently. It's safe. Although Heliannuo is the prince, there are still people watching behind him. He came to Dayong to make a marriage in person, perhaps to prevent Dayong from marrying a smart woman and going to Xiliang. Just win us over."

He said he was wooing us, but Xia Zheng was the one who really wanted to woo us!

Lin Yuan blinked her eyes. Since Xia Zheng had clearly understood Heliano's careful investigation, she didn't bother to think about it.

However, she was still looking forward to this event, didn't Heliano just say that?Tanglin will also bring in seafood!
If the seafood along the way is well preserved, she can flex her muscles again!

Speaking of which, I am looking forward to the food event at this time next year!

　　"Of course it is..." Before he finished speaking, he kissed the charming cheek as if to please, and replied with a smile, "Of course you are important!"

　　"Well, I accept it!"
