Chapter 1876 Identity Exposure (6)
"It smells very fragrant. Could it be that the palace has adopted food from a well-known restaurant in the capital this time?"

"Could it be a new dish launched by the No. [-] Restaurant in Beijing?"

"It's not impossible. If it's not a new dish, I might never have seen it before." The speaker picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and tasted it, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Delicious!"

Several other officials saw that this person had picked up several chopsticks in a row, and they put down their chopsticks one after another curiously. As a result, praises rang out one after another, and everyone was full of praise for these dishes.

"These dishes are really delicious, no wonder they are placed on the banquet menu!"

"No, this is much better than the dishes in previous years!"

"This time, the No. [-] Restaurant really has a lot of good new dishes!"

"It's not necessarily from the No. [-] Restaurant, is it? Why haven't I heard that the No. [-] Restaurant can get so much lobster meat? There are so many ministers in the Zhengyang Palace, and every table has such a plate of lobster meat. How much do you need to prepare?" Only lobsters can be made? Even the palace probably doesn’t have these reserves.”

"It sounds like it also makes sense." The ministers became puzzled again.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When Qin Shuang provided the imperial dining room with dozens of live lobsters that seemed to have just been picked up from the sea, everyone in the imperial dining room, including the emperor and queen who got the news, were stunned, okay? !They couldn't understand at all, where did Qin Shuang get these fresh big lobsters, she had never been out of the palace during that period!
Big change lobster ah!
Someone looked at Zhou Li, who was also enjoying his meal, and asked, "Master Zhou, you should know what these dishes are, right? Judging from your tone just now, it seems that you have eaten these dishes before?"

"Of course I have." Zhou Li looked suspicious, but still nodded firmly, "This is not the dish of the No. [-] restaurant in the capital, but the signature dish of Ruyizhuang, Liangyi County, Ruyizhuang."

"What!?" The officials were shocked.

Just now, the people who thought the three words Ruyizhuang were very familiar suddenly realized that Ruyizhuang was the one who dared to make a deal with the emperor, exchanging high-quality rice for fertilizer, which caused a big disturbance in the household department a few days ago That, Ruyi Zhuang!
Zhou Li was the servant of the household department, and Wu Yuan sat next to him, so he could hear his words clearly, and he couldn't help but look down at the delicious dishes in front of him in shock.

This is Ruyizhuang's signature dish?How could the signature dish of Ruyizhuang appear on the palace banquet?Could it be that the people from Ruyizhuang are also in the palace at this time! ?
All the officials looked at the dishes on their table and kept whispering to each other, all of them were puzzled, and like Wu Yuan, they were speculating on the reason why these dishes would appear in the palace banquet.

Also surprised by these dishes was Wen Bi, who was sitting a few tables away from them. She had lived in Ruyi Village for several months and had already eaten all the dishes in the village, and she was even more familiar with these dishes. Can't be more familiar, but, compared to others, she has her own guesses.

She thought that since Ruyizhuang has a cooperative relationship with the government, and Ruyizhuang has many mouth-watering delicacies, it is not too strange that the emperor would invite people from Ruyizhuang to prepare food for the palace banquet. It happened that Qin Shuang, and Isn't Liu Qianqian here?
Only Situ Yu was the most calm and relaxed. When he saw these dishes, he felt that the queen had a good eye. The dishes of Ruyizhuang were much more exciting than the dishes that had not changed at the palace banquets in previous years, and the taste was better. During the palace banquet, most of the ministers seldom touched the food, they basically drank and watched the performance, talking among colleagues, but this time, I am afraid that most of the dishes will be empty after the palace banquet is over.
