After feeding the Lilliputian Kingdom, I became rich through plane trading

Chapter 192: Inviting the Yun Family and the Emperor to Dinner

Yunzhen chatted with the ancestors for the whole morning.

The relationship between them became much closer.

When it was almost lunch time, the housekeeper came over and asked:
"Will today's meal be made with the ingredients given by the little gods?"

Just as Xia was about to agree, Yun Zhen quickly interrupted and said:

"I have ordered a table of delicious food, which will be delivered in two quarters of an hour."

"Please, old ancestor, please give me a favor and treat everyone to a meal."

Xia was shocked when she heard this: "How can that be possible! How can we let the children and grandchildren treat the ancestors to a meal? We should be the ones taking care of you."

Yun Zhen smiled and said, "This is my tribute to our ancestors. It's a good opportunity for everyone to take this opportunity to taste the delicacies of the future."

Yun Jin also chimed in, "We are all family, there is no need to be so distant. Besides, the food sent by my beloved grandson is very delicious, rich in flavor, and the cooking method is even more advanced. It can be called a feast for gluttons!"

"Tell the kitchen not to prepare our meals, but just cook the servants' portions."

“Food and clean water are available at your disposal.”

The head of the household made the decision, and the butler bowed and left after receiving the order.

Seeing this, Xia no longer refused and turned around to chat and laugh with everyone again.

At 11: am, the table Yunzhen had ordered from the restaurant was finally delivered.

This time, three tables were booked in total, one table for the eight people of the Yun family, one table for the emperor and Concubine Yun’s family of four in the palace, and the remaining table was for her and her parents.

She transferred the food to ceramic plates, shrunk them down, and placed them in the bookcase one by one.

This lunch was quite sumptuous. Whether it was for the Yun family or the emperor, there were eight meat dishes, five vegetable dishes, three cold dishes and two soups.

Meat dishes include local roast duck, sweet and sour pork ribs, chicken stewed with mushrooms, steamed sea bass, braised prawns, Dongpo pork, steamed scallops with vermicelli and garlic sauce, and roast suckling pig.

Vegetarian dishes include braised eggplant, mapo tofu, stir-fried lettuce, spicy and sour shredded potato and stir-fried Shanghai greens.

The cold dishes include smashed cucumber, fried peanuts and cold lotus root slices.

The soups are one salty and one sweet, namely sea cucumber stewed with cordyceps and white fungus, wolfberry and lotus seed soup.

She also offers three kinds of rice: ordinary rice, black bean glutinous rice, and Yangzhou fried rice.

In addition to the food, Yunzhen also sent several baskets of fruit.

Apples, crystal pears, peaches, winter dates and cherries, 30 kilograms of each.

After all the dishes were delivered, the Yun family was stunned.

Everyone sat around the dining table, not knowing where to start.

"This is better than what we ate in good years. Our descendants in the future will be truly amazing!"

In this era, supplies were not abundant, and logistics and transportation were difficult, so the types of food that the powerful people in the capital could eat were actually very limited.

This seafood and terroir feast really opened their eyes.

Just looking at the richness of the dishes and the charming aroma, even gods and Buddhas would be unable to resist salivating.

Yun Jin coughed twice, then took up the chopsticks and picked up a palm-sized braised prawn and put it in the bowl of Old Lady Xia.

"Don't just stand there, let's eat."

As soon as the elders started eating, the younger generations followed suit, reaching for their favorite dishes.

The younger ones couldn’t contain their excitement and delight. They looked at this and that, drooling with greed, and wanted to try every dish.

There are eight people in the Yun family, and four adult men are all martial artists, so they have big appetites.

But the dishes Yunzhen sent were too many. Even if he opened his mouth wide and kept stuffing them with food, he still couldn't finish all the dozen or so dishes.

The whole family enjoyed this lunch very much.

It took more than an hour to eat the food, from wolfing it down to savoring it carefully. In the end, he put down his bowl and chopsticks with regret, holding his stomach full.

"This is the best meal I've ever had in my life."

"People in later generations really know how to enjoy life. Simple ingredients can be used to create such wonderful flavors!"

The Yun family praised the delicious meal and felt even more envious of the future world.

There was about one tenth of the food left on the table. It would be a shame to throw it away, but I was afraid it would go bad if I heated it up in the afternoon.

Upon seeing this, Yun Zhen advised them to dispose of it as soon as possible and not to eat leftovers to avoid getting stomach upset and getting sick.

In ancient times, there were not very good preservation conditions, so these leftovers could only be given to servants.

The servants in the general's mansion were so happy that they didn't mind their master's saliva at all. In order to taste the delicacies from the fairyland, the people in the kitchen even started to fight for them by playing rock-paper-scissors and arguing.

After dinner, Yun Jin, Yun Zhan and Yun Ting went to the martial arts arena to exercise and digest the food.

Yun Huai walked around in circles in the garden with a full belly.

The handsome boy looked up at the sky, smacking his lips and savoring the taste:
"Even the best restaurant in the capital is not half as good as today's lunch."

"It's a pity that I can only eat this one meal. For the rest of my life, I'm afraid that other foods will only fill my stomach. Nothing can compare to the taste of this meal."

Yun Zhen smiled and told him, "Don't worry, there will be something even better to eat in the evening."

"For the next three days, leave the three meals of the Yun family and the palace to me. I will make sure that every meal is different, so that you can eat something new and satisfying."

"Really?!" Yun Huai's eyes lit up with excitement. He jumped a few times on the spot and quickly told his family the good news.

When Xia heard the news, she was also very happy and quickly sent someone to the palace to deliver the letter.

The Yun family members couldn’t finish the more than a dozen dishes and so many kinds of rice for lunch. The emperor and Concubine Yun in the palace only had four people, so it was even more impossible for them to eat more.

Moreover, among these four people, one is a three-year-old child and the other is a baby in swaddling clothes.

The main force of the meal was the emperor and Concubine Yun. They tasted almost two or three bites of each dish and their stomachs were full quickly.

The remaining 80% of the dishes were directly given to the eunuchs around the emperor.

Everyone had their mouths full of grease and were very happy. After finishing the meal, they were still a little confused, wondering where the Yun family got such delicious food from?
For the next three days, there were a variety of Chinese breakfasts every morning, as well as feasts of different dishes at noon and in the evening.

Classic delicacies from eight major cuisines were served one after another, shocking and surprising our ancestors from a thousand years ago.

The Yun family and the emperor all looked noticeably plumper after eating so much, and they looked healthier than before the drought.

The emperor smiled every day, and even when he was in court, he became much more tolerant and patient.

The court officials didn't know why he was so happy, but they heard from the general that the general's mansion sent food to the palace every day.

Could it be that Yun Jin's gift was something so precious that it easily pleased the emperor?

Prime Minister Lu has many informants and is more informed than others. Seeing that the relationship between the emperor and Yun Jin is getting better and better, he couldn't help but provoke them in the name of reminding them:

"Your Majesty's health is related to the country and the people, so you must be more careful about your diet."

"It's better to eat less food of unknown origin. If it harms your body, wouldn't it be fulfilling the plans of those conspirators?"

The emperor glanced at him and thought that it would be impossible for anyone to remain calm in the face of such delicious food.

The little prince has become much fatter after drinking milk powder. The eldest prince is looking forward to meal time most these days.

The rich delicacies from later generations were not only non-toxic, but also more nutritious than the food in their Great Zhou.

He now uses the jar of chive cookies that his patron saint gave him as a snack to motivate his children to read.

He also ate some in his spare time. The fragrant and crispy taste was so good that even an adult like him thought it was delicious.

The emperor was already used to Prime Minister Lu's behavior, so he just said indifferently:
"I asked the imperial physician to check it, and there is nothing wrong with the food."

"My dear Lord Yun, you always think of sharing your good things with me. I am very happy. I will give you 100 taels of gold, some jewelry and porcelain. If you have anything delicious in the future, please send it to the palace."
