After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

Emperor Jiaqing felt happy now. He remembered that when he first came here, he saw Jiang Wan directing the young eunuch to do things, so he asked: "When I came here, I saw my beloved concubine commanding the young eunuch. What do you want to do?"

Due to the arrival of Emperor Jiaqing, Xiao Xi took away the things. When he asked, Jiang Wan told him that she wanted to make hot pot.

"What is hot pot?" Emperor Jiaqing heard this word for the first time and didn't know what the so-called hot pot was.

When Jiang Wan heard this, she briefly explained to him what hot pot was.

"Bring the soup in the pot to a boil, put the ingredients in it and rinse it. When the food is cooked, take it out, dip it in the seasonings and then eat it."

"This way of eating is really novel. This is the first time I have heard of such a way of eating. Could it be that this is the way you eat in the south?" Emperor Jiaqing became interested after hearing Jiang Wan's description of hot pot. In more than thirty years, I have never seen such a strange way of eating.

There is no such way of eating in Jiang Wan’s hometown, no! Either there is no such way of eating in Dayan, or Jiang Wan heard it from the system.

Emperor Jiaqing came by chance today. This was Jiang Wan's first attempt at rinsing a pot.

The Linlang Pavilion where Jiang Wan lives is far away from the imperial dining room. It's okay to be hot in summer, but in winter the temperature is low and the food gets cold quickly. Even if Xiao Xi walks quickly every time she goes to pick up the food box, it doesn't matter when she gets to Linlang Pavilion. temperature.

If those high-ranking concubines were okay, they could have a small kitchen in the palace, so they could heat it up even if it was hot, and they could even go to the imperial kitchen to get ingredients and cook them themselves. However, Jiang Wan's status was too low and there was no kitchen at all, so You can only get prepared meals from the imperial kitchen.

The food was cold and caked with oil after just a few bites. Jiang Wan still had no appetite. Because he ate less, he lost a lot of weight. The system felt heartbroken when he saw it, so he thought of hot pot.

To eat hot pot, you only need a pot. You can cook it even if you don't have a small kitchen, so Jiang Wan can have hot meals.

Jiang Wan was naturally excited when she heard what the system said about hot pot. Who wouldn't want to eat hot meals on such a cold day? But she didn't have a pot for hot pot, so she used the system and what she described to cook hot pot. He told Xiao Xi the shape of the pot and asked him to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to see if he could find a pot that could be used to make hot pot.

It's just that the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't have one. Jiang Wan paid five taels of silver and asked him to ask the palace craftsmen to help make one. As soon as the pot came back, she couldn't wait to try it, but she didn't expect to start lighting the fire. , the emperor came.

If it were in the past, Jiang Wan would be reluctant to spend five taels of silver just to get a pot for cooking. She would rather eat cold food than spend so much money, but she didn't know if it was because she was pregnant. , I was very greedy. When I heard the system said that the hot pot was delicious, I kept thinking about it, so I had to grit my teeth and pay for the money.

"I also want to try the taste of this hot pot." Emperor Jiaqing said.

After he said this, Jiang Wan naturally couldn't refuse, so he asked Xiao Xi to get the pot.

Originally Jiang Wan planned to eat with Jinping and the others, but since the emperor wanted to eat, he had to give it to them next time.

This pot has a strange shape. It looks like a soup basin on the top, but it is empty below and is used to hold charcoal.

Emperor Jiaqing had never seen such a strange pot before, and looked at it curiously.

The dishes for the hot pot are already prepared. Now you only need to boil the soup in the pot and put things in it for shabu-shabu.

The most important thing about hot pot is the dipping sauce, which is naturally indispensable. However, Jiang Wan has never eaten this thing, so according to the system's recommendation, he asked Emperor Jiaqing if he had any taboos, and then helped him mix a plate of dipping sauce. give him.

At this time, the charcoal fire underneath was already burning brightly, and the bone soup boiling in the pot was already steaming.

There are more than ten dishes of cut and washed vegetables on the table, including radish cubes cut into pieces, cabbage leaves torn into pieces, tender tofu cubes, thin slices of sashimi and pork, etc.

Originally Jiang Wan only prepared three dishes of vegetarian dishes and two dishes of meat dishes, but since Emperor Jiaqing also wanted to eat, he naturally couldn't be so shabby. Eunuch Wei also asked the imperial dining room to bring a lot more, so he did this. Generally rich in variety.

Jinping was worried that Jiang Wan would be burned, and wanted to serve Jiang Wan without letting her do it. However, the system told Jiang Wan that the hot pot must be cooked by herself to taste, so she refused Jinping's service and planned to do it herself.

“Hot pot is delicious only when you make it with your own hands.”

Hearing what Jiang Wan said, Jinping had no choice but to retreat.

Jiang Wan took a piece of pork with chopsticks and put it into the hot pot. She silently recited it three times in her mind as the system said, and then cooked the pork.

The pork is fat and lean pork belly. Because it is thinly sliced, it is curled after being cooked. Jiang Wan put it into the dipping saucer and rolled it twice. It was covered with white sesame seeds and brown seeds. The steaming sauce made her swallow her saliva.

But she didn't put it into her mouth immediately. Instead, she resisted the urge to stuff it into her mouth and put it into Emperor Jiaqing's bowl.

"How does it taste, Your Majesty?"

Naturally, the first bite must be tasted by the emperor first.

"Your Majesty, let this old slave taste it for you first." Just as Emperor Jiaqing was about to pick it up and stuff it into his mouth, Eunuch Wei, who was standing by and waiting, said at the right moment.

After hearing Eunuch Wei's words, Jiang Wan finally remembered that she had almost forgotten this. The emperor has a distinguished status, and anything he eats must be tested to see if it is poisonous before eating.

After Eunuch Wei tried the poison, he started to eat it.

Since the first bite was eaten by Eunuch Wei who was testing the poison, Jiang Wan cooked another piece of pork belly and gave it to Emperor Jiaqing. After he picked it up with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, she looked at him expectantly.

"How is it, Your Majesty? How does it taste?"

"Not bad." Emperor Jiaqing rarely praised.

I thought it was just a novelty, but I didn't expect that the taste was unexpectedly delicious. The rich meat flavor combined with the salty aroma of the seasonings gave it a unique flavor.

"You can eat too, you don't have to serve me." Seeing that she kept swallowing her saliva, Emperor Jiaqing said with a smile.

"Okay." With his permission, a smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Wan's face. She immediately picked up the chopsticks and picked up another piece of pork and started to rinse it.

The freshly cooked meat was a bit hot. When she stuffed it into her mouth, Jiang Wan was so hot that she gasped, but she couldn't bear to spit out the food in her mouth.

It was so delicious. If the system hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known it could be eaten like this.

Seeing her eyes curled into a crescent moon of happiness, Emperor Jiaqing also had a smile on his face.

Because Jiang Wan had said before that he had to cook it himself to make it taste better, Emperor Jiaqing refused Wei Eunuch's service and planned to do it himself.
