The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles
Chapter 246 Jia Jue Offers Treasure
This voice made the audience look at him again.
Zhao Qi looked at Jia Jue and sighed slightly in his heart. He knew Jia Jue would object, but unfortunately, he couldn't resist the general trend.
"Jia Jue, you have handled this case extremely well, and I will not miss the reward. However, you don't need to participate in this marriage."
He sealed Jia Jue's words in advance, just to block his mouth and prevent him from conflicting with the general situation, which can be regarded as his protection.
Hearing Zhao Qi's words, Liu Sheng and Mingji's eyes were full of sarcasm, so what if you object?
Are your words helpful?
Under their gaze, Jia Jue replied:
"Your Majesty, what I said was not about marriage."
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, since what you said was not about getting married, then what are you doing jumping out at this time?
Zhao Qi was also a little surprised, but he knew that Jia Jue must have a deep meaning in doing this.
"Oh? What do you want to start?" He asked Jia Jue.
Jia Jue took out something from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I have a chance to get a rare fruit, and I dare not enjoy it to myself, so I offer it to Your Majesty."
Wonder fruit?
Everyone showed curiosity when they heard the words, even Zhao Qi was no exception.
"Present it." Zhao Qi said.
Liu Tian hurriedly came to Jia Jue, took the strange fruit from his hand, carefully held it in his hand, and walked towards Zhao Qi.
Everyone stretched their necks and looked at Liu Tian's hands.
They thought that the so-called strange fruit should be bright in color, round in appearance, and filled with immortality.
But when he looked at it, he was taken aback for a moment, only to see that what Liu Tian was holding was a gray flat thing.
"Is this a strange fruit?"
"Why do you look so inconspicuous?"
"Yeah, just like a stone, is it also a strange fruit?"
Many people started whispering.
Liu Sheng and Ming Ji even laughed together, the laughter was full of sarcasm:
"Is this also a strange fruit? Is this the rare fruit of the Central Plains with its vast land and abundant resources?"
"I have learned a lot! I really have learned a lot!"
Everyone's face darkened when they heard the words, and they looked at Jia Jue with an unhappy expression:
Anyway, you are also a dignified prince and grandson, the number one scholar, how come you don't even have this bit of vision?
At least you get some good-looking things and come back to offer treasures!
What kind of treasure could such an ugly thing be?
Zhao Qi glanced at Jia Jue, and took the strange fruit from Liu Tian with a puzzled face.
He brought the fruit to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, but he didn't smell anything, not even a little sweetness.
He studied it again, but he still didn't find out what was so strange about it. As a last resort, he could only ask Jia Jue:
"Jia Jue, what's so special about this fruit?"
Everyone looked at Jia Jue, waiting for his reply.
Jia Jue smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, this fruit is edible."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience stared at him with wide eyes, and their eyes were completely incredible.
Is this fruit edible?
Isn't this nonsense?
What fruit can't be eaten?Could it be that you still get a poisonous fruit to offer to the emperor?
Zhao Qi glanced at Jia Jue in surprise, and said to Liu Tian, "Cut it off."
Liu Tian hurriedly found a fruit knife, cut open the fruit, verified that it was not poisonous, then cut a small piece of flesh and gave it to Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi took it, and first smelled it, but there was still no smell.
He tried to bite a little bit, but he couldn't help but spit it out, the flesh was extremely hard, and the taste was astringent, extremely unpalatable.
Seeing Zhao Qi's appearance, all the courtiers looked at each other, but Ming Ji and Liu Sheng laughed together.
"Master Jia, what kind of fruit is this?" Finally, someone couldn't help asking.
Jia Jue smiled: "Your Majesty, this fruit is not eaten raw, but cooked."
Zhao Qi nodded: "Then leave it to the imperial chef to cook."
He was already a little impatient in his heart, and planned to end this matter.
However, Jia Jue suddenly said again at this time: "Your Majesty, I brought cooking utensils, why don't I let my minister cook for Your Majesty?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, Jia Jue actually wanted to cook food in the Golden Temple?
"Lord Jia, don't act recklessly! This place is the Golden Luan Palace!" Immediately, an old official stood up and scolded Jia Jue.
After all, the Temple of the Golden Luan is solemn and solemn, how could it be possible to light a fire and cook here?
Mingji and Liusheng laughed even louder: "The boiler is on in the Jinluan Palace! It's an eye-opener, it's an eye-opener indeed!"
Zhao Qi also looked at Jia Jue with a puzzled expression. Jia Jue had always given him the impression that he was shrewd and intelligent. Why would he propose such a far-fetched proposal at this time?
In the eyes of everyone, Jia Jue looked at Zhao Qi, and said loudly: "I will never disappoint Your Majesty!"
Zhao Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, Jia Jue had something in his words, he took a deep look at Jia Jue, and decided to believe him this time:
"Prelude!"
Jia Jue smiled, and walked to the door of the Golden Temple amidst the blank, astonished, angry, or mocking gazes of the crowd.
There is a cauldron, a large barrel, and some other props here.
These are all prepared by him before.
He set up the pot, put in the firewood, and heated it up.
Afterwards, he took out a few strange fruits, cut them into thin shreds, and chopped peppers and other condiments together.
After finishing these, he put them into the pan and stir-fried them together.
In the next moment, a seductive aroma permeated the entire hall, and everyone couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Fragrant, it is too fragrant.
Even Mingji and Liusheng, who had been laughing at Jia Jue just now, couldn't help but show emotion at this moment. They had never smelled such a fragrance.
Amidst the sound of everyone swallowing, Jia Jue filled some from the pot, then picked up a small bowl from the big bucket at the side, and walked into the hall again.
"Your Majesty, please have a taste." Jia Jue handed the bowl and plate to Liu Tian.
Liu Tian quickly handed the things to Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi picked up the chopsticks, glanced at Jia Jue, took a piece, and put it in his mouth.
Everyone swallowed their saliva and looked at him.
The next moment, Zhao Qi's eyes suddenly widened, he opened his mouth, and mumbled: "It's so spicy."
Everyone was stunned.
But then, they heard Zhao Qi say: "It's delicious!"
Under everyone's surprised eyes, Zhao Qi quickly emptied the plate.
"Okay! I haven't felt so hungry for a long time, and I still want to eat two big bowls of rice." After he finished eating, he sighed to everyone.
As he spoke, he looked at the contents in the bowl, and asked Jia Jue, "Is this object also made of that strange fruit?"
Jia Jue nodded: "What Your Majesty said is true, this is the mud of a rare fruit."
Zhao Qi took a sip, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "The taste is smooth and soft, good!"
At this time, Jia Jue said to the courtiers: "My lords, there are many more of this item, so you might as well comment on it."
Everyone looked at him, and finally someone couldn't help but ran outside the hall to taste it.
After this taste, they were all full of praise, and the old minister who criticized Jia Jue before was full of praise for it, calling it "really fragrant".
The chopped shreds in the cauldron were swept away very quickly, and all the fruit puree in the vat was also separated.
A while later, Zhao Qi finished eating the fruit puree in the bowl, and belched full of satisfaction.
He is full.
He sighed and asked Jia Jue, "What is the name of this strange fruit? How did you get it?"
Jia Jue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this fruit is called potato, and it was accidentally bred by my minister."
"Oh? So it was planted, so I don't know what the yield is?" Zhao Qi was moved by hearing this. These potatoes can satisfy his hunger and satisfy his hunger, and they taste very good. He really wants to eat more.
Jia Jue said loudly: "A mu yields a thousand catties."
boom!
Click!
The moment Jia Jue finished speaking, there was a sound of falling cups and plates in the hall...
Zhao Qi looked at Jia Jue and sighed slightly in his heart. He knew Jia Jue would object, but unfortunately, he couldn't resist the general trend.
"Jia Jue, you have handled this case extremely well, and I will not miss the reward. However, you don't need to participate in this marriage."
