Chapter 326 Imperial Food (4)
"No taste? Why don't you ask them to make some desserts? Didn't you say yesterday that the Imperial Dining Room has a new cook from Foshan who is good at making dim sum?" Yun Shuo said, turning his head to look at Wu Miao.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are two cooks from Foshan who are best at making desserts. It's just that those desserts haven't passed the inspection of the head of the imperial dining room, so they haven't dared to bring them to the empress." What the emperor and queen eat must be careful and cautious, cautious and cautious.This is the imperial dining room, once the things are on the dining table, the manager of the imperial dining room has to bear a huge responsibility.

"You people always take time to do things." Yun Shuo said dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, this servant told them to hurry up." Wu Miao hurriedly bowed in response.

Yun Shuo also knew the rules of the imperial dining room, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you must be careful about what you bring to the imperial dining table, and you must not be careless."

"Yes." Wu Miao quickly agreed again.

"Your Majesty, Elder Xiao Ge, Lord Yao, the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion and others are all here. They said they have something important to see His Majesty." Qianye replied at the door.

Yun Shuo knew that these people must have known about what happened yesterday, so he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Han Qian, "You rest here, and when I finish my work, I will go back to Fengzhang Hall with you."

"Brother Emperor, go and do your work. Don't worry about me, I'll go out for a walk in a while." Han Qian was thinking about the two cooks from Foshan. She heard that the dim sum in the south had a special flavor, but she hadn't tasted it yet. Well, I can't wait to try it now.

Yun Shuo asked with a light smile, "When you hear about food, don't you feel bad?"

Han Qian smiled awkwardly, raised his hand and pushed Yun Shuo away: "Go and do your own work. Don't dawdle, the ministers are waiting."

Yun Shuo pinched her face with a smile, and whispered: "Don't run around, wait for me to come back."

"Got it!" Han Qian raised his hand to push Yun Shuo's hand away, and said angrily, "Go, go! There are so many people here, so restrain yourself."

Yun Shuo smiled happily, turned around and left without teasing her again.

Han Qian saw that Yun Shuo was gone, and immediately told Apple: "Come on, get my cloak, let's go to the imperial dining room to have a look."

"Your Majesty, if you want to see those two cooks, you can just call them to Fengzhang Hall. Why do you need to go here yourself?"

Han Qian smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I haven't been in the kitchen for a while, and I always feel like something is missing. Let's go and have a look, and we can just relieve our boredom."

Pingguoer advised: "If you are bored, let's go to Yihe Palace for a walk. The plum blossoms there are all in bloom, reflecting the snow, so it's very lively. The slaves will accompany you to have a look. The selected branches can be put back into the vase. good?"

"No matter how beautiful plum blossoms are, I can't eat them. What do I want them for?" Han Qian smiled and shook her head.

"The slaves and maidservants asked people to harvest the snow from the plum blossoms, making wine and making tea, all of which are excellent." Apple said again.

"That's your business, why should I worry about it?" Han Qian said, and then ordered Xiang Cheng'er, "Go, quickly get the cloak, let's go."

Xiang Cheng'er didn't dare to say any more, and hurried to the West Nuan Pavilion of Zichen Hall to get the cloak.

His Majesty the Emperor was discussing matters with several ministers in the Xinuang Pavilion, Xiangcheng naturally didn't dare to go in blatantly, she only went to Wu Miao's apprentice Wu Sibao.

Wu Sibao didn't dare at first, but he couldn't stand Xiangcheng's threats and a few delicious snacks, and he knew that the sisters around the empress would never be offended, so he boldly went in quietly, While the emperor was talking to the ministers, he slipped out holding Han Qian's cloak.

"Oh, my dear mother! This little boy is about to jump out!" Wu Sibao handed Han Qian's cloak to Xiangcheng and kept patting his chest.

"Come on you! You don't do those things that are obedient and obedient? You can pretend!" Xiang Cheng'er smiled and nodded Wu Sibao's forehead, turned and left.

The Imperial Dining Room is no stranger to Han Qian. Zhang Ruixiang, the chief manager of the Imperial Dining Room, and his godson Liu Shun'er have already learned how powerful the Empress Empress is. Back then, the Empress Empress was just a princess. Deciding their life and death, now that they have entered the central palace and become queens, they have to polish their eyes and clean their ears, so that they can look at the face of the empress and listen to the orders of the empress.

"The two cooks from Foshan are brothers of the same mother. They are the cooks of the governor's mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi. Hearing that there are important people in the imperial dining room, Lord Lu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, sent them into the palace. Because they are originally from Foshan, they are the cooks. The dishes and desserts here all have the effect of dispelling heat and humidity, which are not suitable for the current climate of our imperial capital, so the meals they made have never dared to be served on the imperial dining table. So... the old slave also asked the empress to forgive the slave for his slackness crime." Zhang Ruixiang bowed his waist and explained carefully to the empress.

"This is also your responsibility." Han Qian didn't care about this matter, but ordered: "Let's not say whether the dishes they cook are in season today, you just ask them to cook their specialties and serve them to me. Look."

"Don't worry, ma'am, the two of them are busy at work, and the time has almost changed." Zhang Ruixiang was about to ask his godson Zhang Shun to take a look, when he turned around and saw one of the two Foshan brothers respectfully holding a tray. standing there.

"Haven't you come forward to kowtow to the empress? It's really from the local area, and there are no rules at all." Zhang Ruixiang said displeased.

"Yes." The man hurriedly came forward to kneel and kowtow: "Slave Huang Daping pays respects to the Empress Empress, the empress empress is blessed and safe, and may live forever!"

Han Qian saw that this man was wearing the lowest-grade official uniform of the Imperial Dining Room, and he could not see his face when he was kneeling there, only his narrow and slender waist could be seen, so he said flatly, "Get up."

"Thank you, empress!" Huang Daping kowtowed again, straightened up, and stood up.

Cherry had already taken the tray from Huang Ping and sent it to Han Qian, but it was just for her to see, even if Han Qian wanted to eat, they would not dare to give it to her.

"What's this called?" Han Qian asked, looking at the snow-white balls in the blue and white porcelain soup bowl and the crushed peanuts sprinkled on top.

Zhang Ruixiang bowed and replied: "Mrs. Back to the Empress, this is called Tangbudiao, and it's a dessert that every family eats over there. Huang Ping made this when he came here, and the slave took a sip. It's sweet but not greasy, and the taste is still delicious." It's not bad, but the slave thought that you don't like too sweet, my lord, so I told him to improve it. I don't know how it tastes today."

"Back to Empress, the sugar juice of this dessert is made with sweet-scented osmanthus honey, which is lighter than the jasmine honey used before, and the sweetness is more suitable for the people of the imperial capital." Huang Daping said.

Han Qian nodded, smiled and said to Pingguo'er, "Try it and see how it tastes." He took a small mouthful, chewed and swallowed it carefully, and then put the remaining half of the ball into his mouth after nodding his head.
