I have Shennong heritage
Chapter 74 Undercurrent
The couple left, but the banquet had only just begun. The only son who got married, General Lan, naturally planned the highest-level banquet, and even His Majesty even sent several royal chefs to help.
However, among the many dishes, there are two dishes with simple ingredients but the most eye-catching taste.
One is seaweed roll rice, and the other is pumpkin cake.
Both are small snacks, not main courses, but every guest who has eaten has a look of astonishment, and looks for the waiter to order another one, which seems to be the most outstanding dish of the banquet that day.
In a separate room, only a few people are present.One of them is His Majesty of the Fengling Empire, who was drinking wine slowly, when he saw General Lan sitting beside him, "Is Lan Qiao's marriage too hasty?"
General Lan chuckled, "Which aspect is Your Majesty referring to? Your Majesty has promised me that Lan Qiao's marriage will be his own decision, and you don't need to go through the marriage."
"Uncle Lan, my father is mainly concerned about my younger brother's marriage, and I think he can find a more suitable school." The prince also laughed at the side.
"His Royal Highness is joking." General Lan put down his wine glass and said lightly.
"Zhenyang, there are no outsiders here, you have to respect your father." His Majesty also glanced at the prince next to him and said.
"...Yes." The crown prince stood up, "Father, how are you recently?"
"Your Majesty, please sit down. Your Majesty, you promised me." General Lan didn't say much to the prince, and continued with a profile.He was very satisfied with Qi Zijia as his daughter-in-law, not to mention that she was someone Lan Qiao liked.
"That's not what I meant." His Majesty smiled wryly, "I'm just saying one thing. The main reason is that this kid didn't have a good reputation before. I heard that Qiaoer fell in love with him after meeting him by chance?"
"Your Majesty, eat something first." General Lan pushed a seaweed rice roll in front of him. "Don't have a stomachache for a while."
"Okay." His Majesty nodded with a smile, and didn't care about General Lan changing the subject.Picking up his chopsticks, he picked up a piece of seaweed rice roll and took a bite. Although he frowned slightly, he chewed slowly until he finished eating and put down his chopsticks. "This rice roll tastes very good, and the rice has a very special aroma."
The prince next to him also picked up one to eat, and nodded after eating, "Father, this rice is really good, better than the rice in the palace."
General Lan turned a deaf ear to the prince's words, and pushed another pumpkin cake over, "Try this again, Your Majesty?"
His Majesty finally noticed something, with a smile on his face, "Is there something to say in this?"
General Lan smiled but said nothing.
His Majesty slowly tasted the small piece of pumpkin cake in front of him. It was golden in color and full of honeycomb-like voids in the middle. It tasted soft and sweet, and the pumpkin had a strong fragrance, which was really rare.
"Zhenyang, go out and have a drink with everyone for me."
The prince was stunned, but he could only stand up and reply respectfully, "Yes!"
When the prince left, several servants in the room also went down, leaving only His Majesty and General Lan.
"Ah Wei, don't argue with Zhenyang, I will educate him." His Majesty held General Lan's hand and apologized first.
"I don't care about it, otherwise I wouldn't hide Qiao Er's identity from the outside world and let him inherit the Lan family's business. It's a pity that the prince is still too guarded against me." General Lan sighed wearily.
"I can't tell it on weekdays, but Qiao Er's marriage may have stimulated him today. I will check the people around him when I go back." His Majesty nodded.Naturally, he doesn't want to see the two sons disagree, and he doesn't want to see Lan Wei sad, because the other party has already sacrificed too much for him. "By the way, do you have any intention of letting me eat these two snacks?"
"Your Majesty is still so keen." General Lan said with a smile. "Yes, although these two snacks are made by the royal chef sent by His Majesty, the ingredients are provided by Beibei."
"Baby? Oh, you mean Joe's daughter-in-law?"
"Yes. Beibei is a student of the Agricultural College of Emperor Star University. He planted two batches of rice this year. The first batch yielded [-] catties per mu, and the second batch yielded [-] catties per mu."
"What!" His Majesty was surprised.
Nowadays, food is scarce, and the emperors of any country are very concerned about agriculture.Food is the most important thing for the people, even if they can't get enough to eat, how can the country be prosperous and strong.
Therefore, His Majesty is very clear about the yield per mu of some important crops.
Like rice, the average yield per mu is [-] catties, and the highest is [-] catties.
But this Qi Zijia's first planting reached [-] catties, which was higher than the average yield per mu, and the second time it even reached the highest yield of imperial rice.
"Your Majesty." General Lan watched His Majesty lower his head in thought, "And I specifically ordered that the seaweed roll rice not be overly seasoned, but just added a little ordinary seasoning."
His Majesty understood General Lan's simple words immediately, and couldn't help picking up another one to taste slowly, nodding while eating.
When he ate it just now, he felt that the taste was very good. The rice grains were soft and glutinous without losing their strength. The steaming method for making Baofan was different, and it tasted even more chewy.What's more, this rice has a strong fragrance, and it also has an indescribable taste, the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes.
The higher the quality of the ingredients, the simpler the processing required. Simply steaming them into rice and adding a little seasoning can make a delicious meal.
"This kid is very capable."
"Yes. Not only is he very talented in planting, but I heard that the dean and teachers of the Agricultural College are all very optimistic about him, and even Zhou Jingyuan is full of praise for him." General Lan said. "And this kid is also good at cooking, and the dishes he makes are very delicious."
"Really? Have you eaten?" His Majesty is also a human being, and usually holds a high position, but he still longs for the affection between ordinary people in his heart.Hearing what General Lan said, I was very interested.
"Of course I have eaten it, and you can eat it if your majesty wants." General Lan smiled.
"Well, good. He is a capable and virtuous child." His Majesty is very satisfied with Qi Zijia now. "They will come over tomorrow, or else..."
"Your Majesty is really inconsiderate. Beibei asked him to go to work in the kitchen as soon as he walked through the door? Qiaoer would not give up even if I did."
His Majesty obviously understood, and said with a sneer, "I was negligent. Back then..."
"Your Majesty!" General Lan shouted to stop with a smile, "Don't be too nasty at this age!"
His Majesty smiled wryly, "This age...it seems that I am very old...Yes, the children are all married. Ah Wei, I really owe you in this life."
"No, there is no need for Your Majesty to say that. I chose not to disclose it myself. Besides, the Lan family also needs an heir. I should thank Your Majesty for agreeing to my willful request." General Lan said seriously.
"I know you are for the empire, for me." His Majesty sighed.
Outside the private room, Prince Zhenyang came out and toasted everyone with a glass of wine for His Majesty, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.Most people don't know why the prince came to toast, but there are also a small number of people who know it well.
Now the prince's reputation is not obvious, but the young master of the Lan family has made great military achievements, and his military rank is not low at such a young age. He is definitely a rising star in the empire.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the successor of the Lan family and the most steadfast line of defense for the empire.
But in the eyes of very few insiders, they have already begun to think about some things in their hearts.
The position of His Royal Highness is not as stable as everyone imagined!
In the new room at the back, Qi Zijia felt dizzy and dizzy due to his kiss, but still remembered the wedding process, "Lan, Young Master Lan, you should go out."
Sending the two into the new house, only Qi Zijia stayed, Lan Qiao still had to go out to continue, the guests were still there, the two of them hid in the new house and did not go out, the guests outside were afraid that they would laugh at them to death.
Lan Qiao looked at Qi Zijia's mouth, which was always frustrated, it was slightly swollen from his gnawing, and he still didn't know what to do.
"You bastard! Call me by name."
"..." I couldn't yell out.Qi Zijia looked at Lan Qiao innocently.
Lan Qiao was about to punish the other party again when Lou Canaan was already knocking on the door outside, "Young master, the general asked you to go out."
General Lan was afraid that Lan Qiao would be rude, so he specially arranged for Lou Jianan to keep an eye on him. Lou Jianan was unwilling to do such a thing in his heart, but he knew his young master's feelings for Qi Ershao. Slapping a tiger's ass makes no difference.
But he had to go again, so he could only bite the bullet and knock on the door.
Qi Zijia breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Qiao was furious, this kid is too obvious!
The holding person slapped his butt twice, lowered his voice and whispered in Qi Zijia's ear, "You wait for me to come back!"
The hot breath went straight to the ear hole, and Qi Zijia couldn't help but want to rub his ear because of the itchiness.
The bed next to her jumped up quickly as Lan Qiao stood up. Turning her head, Lan Qiao had arrived at the gate and left with the chief guard.
Qi Zijia heaved a sigh of relief, turned over and lay down in big characters with his eyes closed for a few minutes before he remembered that he hadn't changed his clothes yet.
Get up quickly to change clothes.
The door was knocked several times, Qi Zijia hurriedly opened the door, the two attendants at the door were startled, "Master Jia, you don't need to open the door for us."
The two paused and introduced themselves.These two are Lan Qiao's attendants, one named Yun Sheng and the other named Zhou Haifeng.They all followed Lan Qiao since childhood, and it has been five or six years now.
Lan Qiao saw that the younger of these two was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the older was only about seventeen or eighteen, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
In this evil feudal country, there are still child laborers!
The two attendants looked at each other, knowing that Qi Zijia had misunderstood, so they quickly explained.
It turned out that although the two were servants, they had followed Lan Qiao since they were ten years old, but they didn't do menial work, and they didn't come from ordinary people.Their parents and even their grandparents were all generals under the command of the Lan family.
This kind of behavior of sending one's offspring to the master's house to grow up with the young master is not a humiliation, but a great honor.This represents the approval of the master's family, and the one who grew up with the young master naturally has deep feelings.
This is the tradition of several generations of the Lan family and the generals under his command, not only Lan Qiao's generation, but several of General Lan's current right-hand men are also his attendants back then.
Once the two said this, Qi Zijia understood.
This is said to be a servant, but in fact, he came to gild to cultivate a relationship with Lan Qiao, which is different from the real servants at home.
Although Qi Beiwang is also one of the top ten generals and ranks high, his background is far inferior to that of the Lan family and the Zhang family.The Qi family also has many servants, but they are all hired from outside, but there are no children of their generals.
Knowing the identities of the two, Qi Zijia naturally did not dare to be negligent, and quickly invited the two into the house. Naturally, the two would not be presumptuous.
The two of them also came to say hello to Qi Zijia, and they looked familiar.By the way, I also brought food to Qi Zijia for him to make a bed first, so as not to wait too long for Qi Zijia to be hungry.
However, among the many dishes, there are two dishes with simple ingredients but the most eye-catching taste.
One is seaweed roll rice, and the other is pumpkin cake.
Both are small snacks, not main courses, but every guest who has eaten has a look of astonishment, and looks for the waiter to order another one, which seems to be the most outstanding dish of the banquet that day.
