No correction

, said with a natural smile: "How can the second brother thank Gu for today's matter?"

Wu Jiao was a little dazed when he heard this, thinking that your son has done something shameless, why do you want me to thank you?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qihou said again: "Then Gu kindly took in the second elder brother yesterday, so why don't you ask for some thanks?"

When Qi Hou said this, Wen Jiang's eyes were wrong, and he turned back and forth between Qi Hou and Wu Jiu. Wu Jiu felt Wen Jiang's hot eyes, and also felt the strange eyes cast by the old officials. Hou's tone was very creepy, what "ask for a reward" was ambiguous, as if they were familiar with each other.

Wu Jiu couldn't bear the gazes of the crowd, and remembered that he had been watched all night yesterday, his arms were sore, he was so ashamed of shame, afraid that Qihou would say something shocking again, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "But As Your Majesty orders."

Qihou smiled and said, "Don't be so serious."

As he said, he raised his index finger and touched his chin. Qihou's palm is wide, which makes people feel particularly secure. , skinny.

The index finger rubbed against his chin lightly, squinting his eyes, that action seemed to be calculating something, Wu Jiu always felt a chill down his back.

At this time, Qihou said with a smile: "Why don't the second brother cook for Gu?"

cooking?

Wu Jiu knew that Qi Hou didn't have any good intentions, and heard Qi Hou say: "This dish... must be someone who has never seen it before, and I have never seen it before, okay?"

Qihou was originally "acting like a baby" to Wu Jiu, making the veterans feel that he was supporting Wu Jiu, but he didn't expect to flatter and touch the horse's leg.

Wu Jiu glanced at Qihou suspiciously, the words were so familiar, no one else had seen them, and neither had Qihou, why was it so similar to the words in the allusion of "Yi Ya Cooking Son", Qihou celebrates his birthday, just kidding Said that he had eaten all the delicacies in the world, but he had never eaten human flesh.

As a result, Yi Ya cooked his own son, who was only a few years old, and dedicated it to Marquis Qi.

When Wu Jiu thought about it, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he said to himself that I don't have a son.

Wu Jiu's expression changed a few times, but he finally said, "Yes."

Seeing that his attitude had changed twice, Qi Hou didn't know that Wu Jiao had thought of Yi Ya's cooking, and when Wu Jiao agreed, he smiled.

They said some dispensable things, and their attitude was very ambiguous, which made Wen Jiang feel even more uneasy, not to mention Wen Jiang was uneasy, even a group of old officials didn't know what was going on.

Then Qi Hou turned his head, his attitude suddenly turned a somersault, looked at Wen Jiang coldly, and said: "Today I alone invite Wen Jiang to come over, because I want to discuss something with Wen Jiang."

Qihou's tone was cold, how could it be a negotiating attitude, it was clearly a threatening attitude, Wen Jiangshi knew it well, but she didn't dare to say it since she escaped.

Wen Jiang knew that Qi Hou wanted her to go to Lu Gong to lobby, so that the princess could be welcomed from Lu.

In the previous life, Qi Hou married Wang Ji, and he also welcomed the princess from Lu, but in the previous life, it was two years later, and the Lu State had already won the battle of long spoons, so it was a bad breath, but this life is different. During the scorching heat, Duke Lu definitely didn't want the son of Marquis Qi to marry the princess, so naturally he didn't stretch his head.

In fact, when the emperor married his daughter, he could send the daughter to the state of Lu first, and then let the husband's family welcome it. In addition to being a state of etiquette for writing Zhou rites, there is another very important factor in the state of Lu.

That is, although today's Emperor Zhou is in decline, he is still the orthodox emperor of the country. He is a rationalized emperor. Rationalization requires face. Take the daughter away first, and then the prince will marry the daughter, which also reflects the view that Zhou Tianzi does not sit on an equal footing with the princes.

The state of Lu is a duke state, and it is also a big clan with the surname of Ji. It belongs to the same clan as the emperor of Zhou. It is most reasonable for the state of Lu to marry the princess of the emperor of Zhou, and it can best reflect the respect of the state of Qi.

For this matter, Lu Guo is thankless, and Lu Gong is determined not to do it.

At this time, only Wen Jiang can convince Lu Gong. After all, she is Lu Gong's biological mother, and her words still have some weight.

Wen Jiang didn't want to do that. It would be of no benefit to him to convince Lu Guo, and he would be hated by others, but now someone else has a handle, and as soon as Qi Hou said it, Wen Jiang knew it must be the matter.

Sure enough, Qi Hou said: "Gao Zi, please tell Wen Jiang."

Gao Xi immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he turned to Wen Jiang and said respectfully: "Mrs. Wen Jiang doesn't know something. This matter is about the eldest son Wu Kui marrying the princess of the Zhou family."

In fact, Wen Jiang knew it too, there was no need for Gao Xi to say it, and when Gao Xi said it, Wen Jiang couldn't tear himself apart, so he had to pretend to be enlightened and said, "Hey, what am I thinking? It turns out that this is the matter, don’t worry, don’t worry, Your Majesty, Duke Lu is my son, I’m going to persuade Duke Lu, the nephew’s marriage, can an aunt not care about it? Leave it to me!”

Seeing Wen Jiang's warm-hearted expression, Wu Jiu almost laughed out loud, it was really funny.

Wen Jiang's matter, because of Wu Jiao, was resolved logically. All the old officials were relieved, and they all felt that a blind cat had encountered a dead mouse, and they pinched Wen Jiang. You must know that Wen Jiang is a What a smooth person, even though she is a woman, she is no less scheming than others.

After Wen Jiang agreed, he wanted to leave in a hurry. Qi Hou looked at Wen Jiang's back, folded his hands and said quietly: "Sister Wen Jiang, if you have any good ideas in the future, you should make more suggestions for the lonely, so that Sister Wen Jiang won't leave. My sister's good resourcefulness is all used where it shouldn't be used."

Wen Jiang trembled, responded quickly, and ran away in fright.

This farce has finally come to an end, and the veterans are relieved. It is Wu Jiu who has gained a lot. There are so many surprises and surprises. He came out to meddle in his own business, and actually solved Wen Jiang's matter.

Marquis Qi still needs to discuss with his ministers about the wedding. He looked at Wu Jiu and wanted Wu Jiu to give advice. Hou opened his mouth and said, "Jiao's health is not good, and he is a little tired. I'm afraid it will be affected by your lord. If your lord has nothing to tell him, he will leave first."

Wu Jiu said so, can Marquis Qi still make things difficult for others?

Qi Hou had no choice but to say with concern: "Second brother is sick? Call the medical officer to see him?"

Wu Jiu declined for a while, Qi Hou looked really concerned, he personally sent Wu Jiu out of the Zhengshitang, and called a medical officer for him.

Wu Jiao walked out of the political affairs hall, and asked the medical officer to go back, quickly wiped off his sweat, he didn't know what kind of evil Qi Hou had acquired lately, his speech was always greasy, Wu Jiao really couldn't stand this.

Especially last night, some things happened, Wu Jiu was so ashamed that he was ashamed, and Qi Hou was so embarrassing, Wu Jiu always felt that Qi Hou was embarrassing himself on purpose.

Wu Jiu didn't know that he was thinking too much, Qihou just wanted to kill him, he really didn't want to embarrass him...

Just as Wu Jiu walked out for a while, before he could go back to his room, he saw someone rushing towards him, Zhao Hu and Guan Yiwu.

Just now when he entered the political affairs hall, Ziqing was a child and couldn't follow him in, so he hurried back and informed the two masters. When they heard this, they were shocked and ran over to see what happened.

Wu Jiu didn't know what was going on, but he was surrounded by Zhao Hu and Guan Yiwu, asking questions.

Zhao Hu said, "My lord! Are you injured?"

Guan Yiwu said: "Young master, can the Marquis of Qi make things difficult for you?"

Zhao Hu said again: "My lord, it's not a thing for that lord Yuan to behave like this, unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."

Guan Yiwu said again: "Is there something wrong with your son? Let the medical officer take a look..."

The two of you talked to each other, and Wu Jiao was almost stunned by the quarrel between them, and he quickly said: "No problem, no problem, I'm fine, nothing is wrong, the two masters can rest assured."

Both Zhao Hu and Guan Yiwu breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Hu said: "The young master is kind-hearted, if I see the young master Yuan, I will definitely smack his mouth."

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Master Zhao may not be able to smoke anymore, but Ziqing has already smoked."

Zhaohu said "Ah?", didn't understand, even Guan Yiwu didn't understand, after all, who would have thought that Wu Jiu would really let Ziqing slap Gongzi Yuan's mouth, and the two big forks were still on Gongzi Yuan's face Woolen cloth.

When Ziqing heard it, he was embarrassed and worried, and said in a low voice, "My lord, did your majesty ask Ziqing to inquire about the crime?"

Zhao Hu asked strangely, "What's the crime?"

Wu Jiu was in a good mood, so he recounted the matter of Ziqing's slap in the face of Gong Ziyuan just now. Zhaohu immediately looked at Ziqing with adoring eyes and said, "Ziqing, you are amazing!"

He said and gave a thumbs up.

Guan Yiwu was startled and dangerous in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, did you blame me?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "What is he blaming? He picked up a melon, and Wen Jiang is honestly ready to go back to the country of Lu to persuade Lu Gong. If he got a bargain, can he ask the blame?"

Wu Jiu said it was very easy, but to Guan Yiwu, it was actually extremely dangerous. After all, Wu Jiu never took advantage of it from the very beginning. He was a "criminal minister" and the other party was Qihou's own son. Think about it this way , I feel more and more dangerous.

After Wu Jiu tossed about like this, after listening to the crying for several hours, both Shaowei Ji and Gongzi Yuan were able to cry quite well, their heads were getting big, so they went back to rest for a while.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Jiu was summoned and suddenly said that Wen Jiang had really set off, and hurriedly set off to go back to the country of Lu.

Wu Jiu said, "The rumors about Master Zhao are quite tight."

Zhao Hu proudly said: "Da Ya told me, Da Ya knows a lot of palace people, he heard what the palace people accompanying him said, it is absolutely credible."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he almost didn't know who the "big tooth" he was talking about was, so he couldn't help sighing, "Master Zhao, Master Dong Guo is also talented, you always call him that, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Hu waved his hand and said, "Da Ya doesn't mind at all, son, don't worry."

Wu Jiu was right when he thought about it, Master Dong Guo didn't mind, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Wu Jiu heard that Wen Jiang had really set off for the country of Lu, and he was in a hurry, probably afraid of the Marquis of Qi.

Although this matter has come to an end for the time being, Wu Jiu's matter is not over yet. It is not a matter of intrigue with Gong Zi Yuan and Shao Wei Ji, but a matter of him agreeing to cook for Marquis Qi.

Qihou's requirements are very high, and he wants dishes that no one else has eaten, and he has never eaten.

Although it seems that the requirements are so high, in Wu Jiu's mind, it is very easy.Why do you say that?Because Wu Jiao saw that Qihou’s sense of taste is very ignorant. Although the nobles of this era know how to enjoy food and have brought food to an unattainable height, Wu Jiao still took advantage of it. After all, he is alive. People who spend their whole lives were engaged in catering in their previous life, and they also like to cook.

Just cook a dish, it is something Qihou has never eaten before, so are you afraid that he will find fault?

Wu Jiao didn't regard this as a difficult problem, after thinking about it for a while, he came up with a good idea, this was definitely something that Marquis Qi had never eaten, and Wu Jiao really liked it.

Wu Jiu got up early that day, and when Ziqing came in, Wu Jiu had already put on his clothes, and was sitting in front of the case to straighten his hair.

"adjusting"……

That's because Wu Jiu's hair was even messier than before going to bed. It was messy and couldn't be combed well at all.

Ziqing suppressed a smile, walked in quickly and said, "My lord, what are you doing?"

Wu corrected me in a hurry, this hair is so long, it is more troublesome than choosing vegetables, he has never had long hair in his previous life, and he has never had eyebrows, and now his long hair reaches his waist, and he can't even comb it, let alone use a jade crown It's all set.

Ziqing hurriedly combed Wu Zheng's hair, and said with a smile, "My lord, are you in such a good mood today? You woke up so early?"

Wu Jiu said, "It's not about being in a good mood, it's about being born with a hard life."

Ziqing was a little strange, Wu Jiu said: "I promised to cook a dish that you have never eaten before, and now I have to find ingredients."

Ziqing half understood what he heard, so he quickly tidied up Wu Jiao's hair, brought hot water to wash him, and after cleaning everything up, Wu Jiao ate something in a hurry and went out.

Ziqing followed him, and Wu Jiu specially asked him to bring a basket for the ingredients.

Ziqing thought that Wu Jiu was going to take him to the dining room, after all the ingredients were in the dining room, but Wu Jiao surprised him by running into Qihou's garden instead of going to the dining room.

Ziqing called this a strange question, but he didn't ask.

Wu Jiu was wearing a white shirt, and he was walking among the flowers, as if he was an exiled fairy. His posture didn't look like he was looking for food at all. As Wu Jiao walked and watched, Ziqing really didn't understand, and finally said: "My lord, what are you looking for?" what?"

Wu Jiu just chuckled, pursed his lips and said nothing, his attitude was a bit mysterious, but Ziqing's face turned red with a "bang" from this expression, and he quickly lowered his head and followed obediently.

Wu Jiu didn't even know that he had inadvertently teased someone, so he just continued to walk forward, and then his eyes lit up, and he walked a few steps quickly, and walked to the side of the small flower garden by the lake.

This is the palace garden of the Qi State, and there are special craftsmen to take care of the flowers. All the precious flowers will be planted here for the nobles of the Qi State to enjoy.

What Wu Jiao was looking for was not any flowers, but a bunch of...strange grasses.

Ziqing looked at the grass, but he didn't know what kind it was. It was mostly dark green in color, not emerald green, not very pretty, and other people were blooming flowers, but it was bare, with thick branches and leaves, and looked strange.

Wu Jiu looked at the grass, but he lifted up his clothes and squatted down, and said with a smile, "That's it."

As Wu Jiu said, he gently combed the rough leaves with his hands. His white and slender hands were gently grooming the leaves. It seemed that the thick leaves were inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

Ziqing said, "My lord, what is this?"

Wu Jiu said, "One leaf orchid."

He said, just as Ziqing was about to ask about this specific name, he saw Wu Jiao actually do it, and pulled out the ornamental flowers in Qihou's garden...!

Ziqing was taken aback, and said, "Mr...Mr.?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this one-leaf orchid is a very good ingredient. It has another name called Ruoye. Ruoye can be delicious."

Ziqing's face was a little pale, he looked at Wu Jiao who was still diligently pulling out ornamental flowers while talking, and said, "What delicious food?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Mmm... Zongzi."

Even if Wu Jiu said it, Ziqing didn't know what it was, because there were no zongzi in this era, after all Qu Yuan hadn't been born yet...

Wu Jiu pulled out a lot of orchid leaves, and explained the science to Ziqing while pulling out, saying: "This reed leaf is the best material for making zongzi. Some places like to use reed leaves to make zongzi, although it is not necessary. But the essence of zongzi is lost. Especially after the summer solstice and before the beginning of autumn, the zongzi wrapped by the leaves are the most soft and delicious. The leaves themselves are a kind of highly volatile natural plant spices, which are more bitter and earthy than the reed leaves. It has an extra touch of fragrance, and it has strong antibacterial properties. It is a natural food preservative, and it won’t go bad even if you make more of it.”

Ziqing was dumbfounded. The more he listened, the more he couldn't understand. What are volatility, antibacterial properties, and preservatives?It seems that the diet is also extensive and profound, and I have never heard of it...

As Wu Jiu said, he picked a basket of Ruo leaves and asked Ziqing to carry them. Then he clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "Let's go, let's go back, it's time to start work."

Ziqing quickly responded, took Wu Jiao back, and ran away quickly. Fortunately, no one saw them when they picked the flowers, but Wu Jiao was dishonest while walking, and picked several flowers and put them in the basket , ready to take it back as a spice.

Ziqing followed Wu Jiao to the dining room like a thief, but Qi Hou found out about it. Zheng Ji happened to be admiring flowers in the garden at that time, and when she saw Wu Jiao, she kept an eye on her, and ended up He ran over and complained, saying that Wu Jiao had picked his beloved flowers in the garden, which made Zheng Ji's heart break in pain.

Qihou was a little surprised when he heard that, but he just smiled and said, "Oh? Gu really didn't know that the second brother loves to see flowers? If I knew it, I would send some flowers to the second brother."

Zheng Ji: "..."

Zheng Ji was speechless for a while, and it seemed that there was no way to complain, so after Wu Jiu and Qi Hou came back from Ju, within a month, they wished that everyone in the Qi palace knew that the king loved to see Young Master Jiu, and those who loved to see him could not wait to praise him. In the palm of your hand.

Wu Jiao was going to cook this dish for Marquis Qi that he had never eaten before, and when he entered the dining room, the cooks could not wait to kneel down and ask Wu Jiu for orders.

Wu Jiu just smiled and asked the cooks to prepare some things, such as glutinous rice, white rice, stone honey, and fruit ingredients, such as dried apricots, dried peaches, and sweet red beans.

Because of the clear division of labor in the dining room, there is a cook who specializes in pickling side dishes, so these dried fruits are not a problem at all, they have been preparing them earlier.

Wu Jiu also asked the cook to prepare some cured meat. The level of cured meat in ancient times was very developed. Because there was no refrigerator, although there was a special refrigerator for storing items, which was the refrigerator at that time, the constant temperature was a problem, not too cold Even if it is not cold, it will not taste good when frozen, so the level of cured meat is very developed.

At that time, unlike what many people thought, the nobles certainly did not eat animal offal, only the low-class people would eat offal, etc. In the Spring and Autumn Period, animal offal was also a delicacy for the nobles, and it was mostly used for marinating meat. Eating is very particular, and offal also has what to eat and what not to eat.

It is recorded in Zhou Rituals that the sinews are removed from meat, the scales from fish, the intestines from wolves, the kidneys from dogs, the spine from raccoons, the head from foxes, the brain from dolphins, the B (the bone next to the fish eyes) from fish, and the ugliness from turtles ( Qiqiao) and so on, and so on, there are countless details.

Wu Jiao wanted some cured meat, but the cook didn't dare to neglect, so he prepared it soon. Wuju and Qilu were ready for everything.

Wu Jiu looked at the dazzling array of pickled vegetables, and felt a little dizzy. There were so many kinds of pickled vegetables, such as pork belly, mirage, beef veterinary, and so on.

Wu Jiu looked at these pickled vegetables and smiled. If these meat dumplings were used, they would probably be the meat dumplings with the richest fillings.

Soon Shan Fu prepared other things that Wu Jiao wanted. Although glutinous rice and white rice were not commonly used in this era, they had already appeared as staple foods in the Shang Dynasty, and it was not that they did not exist.

Evolving to the Zhou Dynasty, the "Eight Treasures" imperial cuisine method was recorded in the Imperial Dining Grand View. Among them, the two techniques of Chunbo and Chunwu are frying methods, that is, frying meat sauce and pouring it on white rice, just like the modern rice bowl. generally.

Wu Jiao found all the ingredients, browsed through, and felt that everything was complete, it was really very convenient, if Qihou wanted to eat something he hadn't eaten before, he would make him a rice dumpling, something he hadn't eaten or seen before.

Wu Zhengzheng was about to make a move when he heard a voice, and then Sergeant Shan Fu came in to welcome an eunuch, who actually held a basket full of fresh flowers in his hand.

When the eunuch came in, everyone looked at each other in dismay. The eunuch smiled and saluted Wu Jiu, and said, "I am here to give you flowers, as ordered by your majesty."

Wu Jiu was a little surprised for a moment, sending flowers?

In Wu Jiu's life, no, plus his previous life, he had never received flowers from others. This was the first time someone gave him flowers. The eunuch continued: "Your Majesty heard that the young master likes flowers in the garden. Ask the minister to pick some and send them to the young master."

Wu Jiu looked at the basket of flowers, raised his eyebrows and smiled, it was not bad.

In fact, Wu Jiu doesn't have a special liking for flowers, but these flowers are all picked, even if they are put in a vase, they won't last long, so why not...

How about making a flower cake?

Wu Jiu took the flowers, and the eunuch and minister happily went back to his orders.

Ziqing stood watching from the side, always feeling that the young master stared at the basket of flowers with unfriendly eyes, as if he was going to eat the flowers.

I have to say that Ziqing's sixth sense is actually quite keen...

Wu Jiu waited for the eunuch to leave, and started chattering, he can be watched by others when he cooks, unlike some cooks who want to keep their skills and don't allow others to watch.

Many cooks crowded over to see Young Master Jiu prepare the meal. They saw Wu Jiu pull up the white sleeve gown, revealing his white arms, and pull it up to the elbow. If someone put it on his belt like this, he would definitely look like a fisherman, but Wu Jiu's face is delicate and upright, so he doesn't look too good with his clothes tucked in like this.

Wu Jiu cleaned the two kinds of rice, mixed them in a certain proportion, and began to put things into them. Everyone was dazzled. A pile of small beans was placed in front of Wu Jiao, and there were all kinds of ingredients inside. I used a small dagger to poke around, and heard a "whoosh, whoosh" sound. I moved very quickly, wrapped the ingredients with rice, and rolled the reed leaves. This method is really strange and powerful.

Wu Jiu packed a dozen at a time, then saw Ziqing looking at him strangely, and said with a smile: "Ziqing, do you like sweet or salty snacks?"

Ziqing thought for a while, and said for no reason, "Is it sweet?" He didn't know what kind of dessert it was.

So Wu Jiu nodded, and began to make "swish, swish" zongzi, making some sweet red bean zongzi with fruit, about ten more.

After making the wraps, Wu Jiu put the sweet rice dumplings on the pot first, because there is no pressure cooker these days, so the time is a bit long, after everyone has had their lunch, and then come back to look at the rice dumplings, the dining room is filled with an indescribable smell Sweet and fragrant.

The taste is very strange, because there are dried fruits in the fruit material, so it is filled with the sweet and sour taste of the fruit, but there is also a fragrance of leaves, coupled with the strong taste of glutinous rice, it can be said that the smell is layered. Continuously.

As soon as Ziqing entered the dining room, he took two deep breaths and said in surprise, "My lord, this smells delicious!"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Your sweet dessert is about to be baked."

As he spoke, he asked someone to put out the fire, and then he broke out all the zongzi and put them on a bronze plate.

The zongzi looked a little ugly because they were wrapped in Ruo leaves, but the aroma was pouring over. Although Ziqing had just had lunch, his index finger was already twitching, as if he was hungry again.

Wu Jiu filled a zongzi and took it out to cool, and handed it to Ziqing. Ziqing asked strangely, "This...how do I eat this?"

Wu Jiao smiled and untied the knots on the rice dumplings for him, and then peeled off the leaves of the rice dumplings layer by layer. The leaves were carefully selected by Wu Jiao, washed one by one, and each one was not thin Not too thick, just right, the natural plant spices, after the baptism of fire, have been completely volatilized, mixed with the sweet and sour fruit, like a hazy girl, green with astringent, fragrant but not greasy.

As soon as the zongzi leaves are peeled off, the bulging white and tender zongzi inside is exposed. The glutinous rice and white rice are mixed together in a certain proportion. The red bean with a red dandan on it looks very attractive.

Ziqing swallowed and said, "Then... then Ziqing will eat it."

Wu Jiu hurriedly took a small plate from the side, which contained stone honey mixed with spring water, making simple honey, and said, "Dip this and try it."

Ziqing picked one up with chopsticks, lightly dipped it in light yellow honey, and bit the zongzi into his mouth. The soft and glutinous red beans were filled with the sweetness of honey, and the glutinous rice was sticky, but because of the ratio of mixed white rice It's just right, so it doesn't feel sticky to the mouth at all, and it is a fragrant fruit with a bite, and the fruit also has a distinctive sweet and sour taste.

Ziqing couldn't stop eating, every mouthful gave a new feeling, as if he wasn't eating the same thing.

Seeing that he was eating fast, Wu Jiao said, "Beware of burning your mouth, is it delicious?"

Ziqing's mouth was full of zongzi, he nodded repeatedly, and said, "It's delicious! My son, this is so delicious, sweet!"

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Don't eat too fast, be careful of sticky heart."

While Ziqing was eating sweet zongzi, Wu Jiu went to cook another pot of salty zongzi. After Ziqing ate, Wu Jiu asked Ziqing to give the remaining sweet zongzi and honey to Zhaohu Dongguo Yaguan Yiwu and Bao Shuya was a little more, and he happened to meet Gongsun Xipeng on Ziqing Road, and he also gave some to Da Sixing.

After Ziqing came back, he saw Wu Jiao cooking a new pot, and immediately got greedy again, Wu Jiao gave him another one, this time Ziqing took a bite, his eyes almost fell down, and he lowered his head to stare at the chopsticks. The zongzi here turned out to be meat!

Wu Jiu looked at Ziqing and Rouzongzi with a smile, and said with a smile, "Ziqing, how about the salty one?"

Ziqing's face turned blue, as if he couldn't eat, and almost choked himself to death.

Wu Jiao made two different pots of zongzi, but this time he didn't send them to everyone. After they were done, they were served on delicate plates.

I made a few more exquisite flower cakes. The outer skin of the flower cakes was oily, and they were crispy, with a scent of flowers.

Although Qihou was in the political affairs hall all day long, he had heard about it a long time ago. It seemed that Gongzi Jiu had developed a new delicacy. I didn't see Wu Jiao coming over, I didn't know why, I just felt so angry.

Finally, when it was time for dinner, I heard the eunuch say: "Your Majesty, Young Master Jiu asks for an audience."

When Qihou heard it, his temperament improved a little, and he said lightly, "Let's pass it on."

Qihou had already eaten his dinner, he was already full, so he watched what delicious food Wu Jiao could make.

Wu Jiu walked in quickly, dressed in white, followed by the eunuch, holding a bronze plate in his hand, which contained exquisite rice dumplings and a plate of flower cakes.

As soon as Wu Jiu walked in, the aroma of glutinous rice and leaves of the zongzi wafted out, and there was also a crisp fragrance of flower cakes mixed with the sweet smell of flowers, which made Qi Hou a little hungry again.

When Qi Hou saw Wu Jiu salute, he just smiled and said: "Gu has already heard from Xi Peng that Xi Peng has eaten your little bag, how can it be said that no one else has eaten it?"

Wu Jiu said very calmly: "Your Majesty only knows one thing, but not the other. The food that Da Sixing has eaten is not this kind."

Qihou said "Oh?" and said, "It's not the same?"

Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty knows it after using it."

In fact, Qi Hou has heard Xi Peng praise him a long time ago, saying that the new snack made by the young master is called "Zongzi". It looks like a small bag, and the shape is very cute. It's glutinous, and after one bite, the aftertaste is so bad that he ate three of them in one go!

When Qi Hou heard what Gongsun Xipeng said, he was very unhappy. After all, he asked Wu Jiu to cook, but others ate it first.

Wu Jiu personally rolled up his cuffs and pushed aside the zong leaves for Qi Hou. Seeing Wu Jiu's careful look, Qi Hou was somewhat relieved.

I saw the green zongzi leaves being pushed aside, revealing the bright white glutinous rice inside, and the red and attractive red beans on the head. In an instant, Qi Hou suddenly remembered that night, when Wu Jiu stayed in his bedroom for the night, that white and tender skin...

Qihou coughed and said with a chuckle, "This is what the second brother is famous for?"

Wu Jiu just pushed the zongzi away, and the eunuch walked over with the tray, asking Qihou to enjoy it. Qihou had already listened to Gongsun Xipeng's praise enough, so he pretended that he could eat the zongzi with chopsticks Picking up the chopsticks, he dipped his hand in the honey next to it, and took a big bite.

Many palace people nearby saw Qi Hou's expression "shua!" suddenly changed, first he was surprised, then stiffened, and slowly turned livid, his expression seemed to have bitten a stone.

Qi Hou felt for a moment that it would be okay if he bit the stone, because he could spit it out in one bite, and it was considered normal behavior for you to spit out the stone.

And Qihou bit the white and tender rice dumpling in one bite, unexpectedly biting into a mirage.

What is mirage?The derivation of mirage means water dragon, and you can tell that it is an aquatic creature when you hear it, but it is actually a big clam.

The meat sauce made of big clams was wrapped in rice dumplings by Wu Jiu. In fact, the meat sauce made of this meat sauce has a unique taste, not half fishy and rustic, and it tastes delicious, moderately salty and sweet. People who have eaten zongzi have no burden at all, and they are considered delicious.

But the mistake was that Qi Hou filled the big cloves of garlic, pretending to eat it, and dipped it in honey as a matter of course, a mouthful of sweet honey, sweet and lingering, mixed with sweet glutinous rice, but inside was seafood stuffing, no wonder Qi Hou was so fearless in the face of danger My face has changed color, and it's not good to vomit, and it's not good to not vomit...

Seeing Qihou's expression, Wu Jiao wanted to laugh. In fact, Wu Jiao did it half-intentionally. He ate sweet rice dumplings for others, and Qihou thought it was sweet rice dumplings too. How could he know that rice dumplings have a salty taste? Besides, Qi Hou won the big prize, Wu Jiu tried to wrap a "seafood" in total, and he only wrapped the stubborn ones, how could he think of such an inch?

Qihou swallowed the salty zongzi dipped in sugar expressionlessly, and Wu Jiao said flatly, "Your Majesty, those salty zongzi are not easy to stick to stone honey, so it's better to eat them directly."

Qihou: "..."

Qi Hou's face was livid, he dipped the seafood-flavored rice dumplings with sugar, and Wu Jiu hurriedly offered fresh flower cakes, Qi Hou ate the fresh flower cakes half-believingly, and then regained his composure.

The flower cakes are sweet and crispy, really indescribably delicious, but Qihou was a little depressed because he asked the eunuch to get some flowers to please the beauty, but the beauty returned the flowers in a flash and made pancakes...

Qihou himself wanted to tease Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu also teased him with zongzi. Afterwards, Qihou ate sweet zongzi. After all, he was a decent northerner. Although there was no contest between sweet and salty at this time, But Qihou's taste is definitely biased towards sweet rice dumplings, and he feels more and more that he has been corrected by Wu...

Although Wen Jiang is a difficult person to deal with, Wen Jiang's efficiency is really needless to say. Soon Duke Lu took the initiative to ask Emperor Zhou for a letter, and offered to be the prince who married the princess this time, with a very attentive attitude.

Everything was well prepared, Wu Jiao was sick and avoided and avoided, but the only one who could go to meet the princess was Wu Jiao alone, so this important task still fell on Wu Jiao's head.

It was already autumn to welcome the princess, but Wu Jiu just lied about being ill at first, but before departure, he was really ill.

Wu Jiao felt that he had a slight low-grade fever for several days, his mouth and tongue were tasteless, he seemed to be eating rice for everything, his nose was not well ventilated, his head was dizzy, and he was always out of state.

But the matter of welcoming the princess could not be delayed, after all the princess was already waiting in the country of Lu, so Wu Jiao still left the palace gate according to the time and was ready to board the carriage.

Compared with the last time, the configuration this time is much more high-profile, after all, it is to show off its might.

Because this time it is the emperor of Zhou marrying the princess, Duke Lu cannot suddenly launch a sneak attack, and neither can other countries. If the sneak attack is really high, it will be a declaration of war on the rationalized regime, so we are not afraid of other countries taking advantage of it. Naturally, the team should be configured to the strongest to show respect to the Emperor Zhou, and at the same time to promote the national strength of Qi to Duke Lu.

For the safety of the team this time, we will leave it to the most experienced Gongsun Xipeng to preside over it. Not a fool.

The last time I went to Ju State, Gongsun Xipeng was also well-organized. Wu Jiao admired Gongsun Xipeng, and Gongsun Xipeng also had a good impression of Wu Jiao. This configuration can be regarded as handy.

Then there are the accompanying sons, Zhaohu, Dongguoya, and Guan Yiwu.

The doctor accompanying him was Bao Shuya, and Cao GUI, the doctor of Zhongzhong.

Wu Jiu was still a little strange when he was pedaling the bicycle. The three tripods of the country are all in this team. Isn't Qihou afraid that he will take Bao Shuya to control Yiwu and Zhaohu?
