Through the encounter with the first emperor of Qin

Chapter 40、

When he woke up again, he had already slept on the bed in the inner room, and his body was still covered with a thin blanket.Jin Ke knew that Ying Zheng must have woken up in the middle of the night and carried him in.

Jin Ke complained in his heart: Really, they are all awake, don't you know how to wake me up?Knowing that he is not in good health now, what kind of hero is he?

Jin Ke thought about how he was a big man.Usually, if Ying Zheng gets excited, he hugs him and it's fun.Now that Ying Zheng, who was already tired, still hugged Jin Ke, and still didn't wake him up at all, how much effort did it take?

"Come on!" Jin Ke called out the door.

"Here!" Someone replied immediately, "What is your order, Queen?"

"Your Majesty has gone to court again?" Jin Ke asked.

"Yes!" The palace man answered with his head down.

"Okay! You go down first!" Jin Ke said.

Being an emperor is really tiring.Jin Ke couldn't help thinking that when he was sick, he had to rest for at least three days.At that time, Jin Ke hadn't fainted yet.But Yingzheng is still His Majesty the Emperor, who fainted and only had to go to "work" after a day's rest.Thinking about it is really miserable!

But Ying Zheng doesn't care about his body, Jin Ke can't ignore his body.Since Xia Wuju said that Ying Zheng was exhausted, there must be a reason why Ying Zheng fainted.The most effective treatment after being tired is naturally rest.But if Ying Zheng can't rest, there are other ways.The more useful one Jin Ke knew was black chicken soup.

This black chicken soup basically accompanied Jin Ke through the three years of junior high school.At that time, Jin Ke was still a good boy, and he loved to study very much.Jin Ke's brain is definitely not the smartest. If he wants to get the top spot in his studies, he must spend more time than others.Years of driving late at night made Jin Ke's body exhausted. If it weren't for the black chicken soup to support him, Jin Ke's body would have collapsed long ago.

Jin Ke thought, he would also cook a cup of black chicken soup for Ying Zheng to nourish his body.

Jin Ke, who was full of action, went directly to the small kitchen.It is said to be a small kitchen, but it is not small at all.After all, it is also a place for the emperor and empress to cook. If it is too small, won't it not show the power of my great Qin country?

"Queen, why did you come to such a smoky place?" said the steward with a big belly.

Looking at the "huge" belly, Jin Ke smiled heartily: Sure enough, no matter how many years it has been in the past, the profession of chef is the most lucrative.But this steward, isn't it a little bold for you to call the emperor's special kitchen a place of smog?

"I wonder if the ingredients here are complete?" Jin Ke asked.

"Queen, you have killed this old slave! You can just call the old slave Hu Jin!" The chief executive named Hu Jin was frightened by Jin Ke's words "chief executive", "I don't know what the queen wants to do?" What ingredients are you looking for? I have the most complete ingredients here!"

This sentence is nonsense, this is a place dedicated to cooking for Ying Zheng, if the ingredients here are not complete, then other places are even less likely to be complete.

"Are there black-bone chickens here?" Jin Ke asked.

"Yes!" Hu Jin said, "but I don't know what you use it for, Queen?" In this era, due to the limited condiments, many foods are not favored.Because many strange smells cannot be removed.Black-bone chicken is also one of them.Hu Jin really didn't know what Jin Ke asked Wuji to do.This dish has never been made for Jin Ke and Ying Zheng.

"That's good! You help me deal with the black-bone chicken!" Jin Ke said, "I want to make soup for His Majesty!"

"This..." Hu Jin hesitated for a long time, but still said, "No!" Well, Hu Jin originally wanted to remind Jin Ke that the black-bone chicken has a peculiar smell, which is difficult to get rid of and cannot be eaten.But think again.Your Majesty loves the Queen so much, maybe he wants the Queen to cook a dish herself!What are you doing to stop me here?But can this queen really cook?

There is nothing difficult about handling black-bone chicken.It's not for nothing that Hu Jin has been a kitchen master for so many years. He quickly cleaned up the chicken feathers and other internal organs.

Hu Jin didn't dare to leave, fearing that something would happen to Jin Ke doing what he was doing here.Jin Ke didn't dare to let Hu Jin in, after all, he was the one who set the kitchen on fire.

Although he has no actual combat experience, Jin Ke can almost make this black chicken soup.He drank this black-bone chicken soup for three years, just like "long-term illness makes a doctor", if he ate too much, Jin Ke could tell what was put in even if he smelled it.

At this time, there are too few seasonings, basically only salt.This salt should be used well, after all, it is necessary to use salt to get rid of the fishy smell of black-bone chicken itself.

Jin Ke marinated the black-bone chicken with salt water.Well, Jin Ke doesn't know how long it will be marinated, anyway, he still needs to prepare other things, so he will keep marinating.

There is no need to prepare too much to make black chicken soup, just add some other nourishing food.But at this time, there are no such things as wolfberry and angelica that Jin Ke often sees.

Jin Ke still turned to Hu Jin for help: "Hu Jin, do you know of anything that nourishes the body?"

"Ginseng!" Hu Jin said, "This old slave knows about it, but..."

"But what?" Jin Ke asked.

"Your Majesty is unwilling to eat ginseng." Hu Jin said.

"Why?" Jin Ke didn't understand. In fact, ginseng is really effective.If it wasn't for Jin Ke's family not being particularly wealthy, it is estimated that Jin Ke would have ginseng in the black chicken soup he drank every day.Ying Zheng has such a good condition, why not take it?

"Your Majesty thinks he doesn't need to take ginseng!" This was Hu Jin's answer.

"..." Hearing this answer, Jin Ke was really speechless.But think about it, this is also in line with Ying Zheng's character, isn't it?Ginseng is a great tonic, and a feudal monarch like Ying Zheng who feels very good about himself is unwilling to eat ginseng to admit that he is weak.

"Okay, give me the ginseng!" Jin Ke said, "I will persuade His Majesty!"

"No!" Hu Jin happily took out the ginseng, and cut it into small pieces for Jin Ke's convenience.

Otherwise, there is really nothing to prepare.Jin Ke took the black-bone chicken out of the salt water.Under Hu Jin's guidance, the black-bone chicken was soaked in blood with boiling water.

Then there is the pot.In fact, in this Chinese diet, the best thing to do is to make soup, and the hardest thing to do is also to make soup.It is easy to make, as long as there is enough time, anyone can cook that pot of soup.It's not easy to make, but it's too difficult if you want to make it taste and play a role.

Fortunately, Jin Ke put ginseng, not to mention the taste of this pot of black chicken soup, at least the effect is there.

After staying in the small kitchen for about an hour and a half, that is, three hours, Jin Ke looked at the color of the black-bone chicken soup.When it comes to white, that's it.Because the black-bone chicken soup that Jin Ke drank before was milky white.

"What time is it now?" Jin Ke asked Hu Jin after getting up.

Hu Jin went out to take a look at the sky, and when he came back, he said, "It's probably past Si time!" If there is a big sun in the sky today, isn't it that Si time has passed?

Jin Ke made up his mind, isn't it almost twelve o'clock?It's so late, and Ying Zheng hasn't come back yet?The reason why Jin Ke judged that Ying Zheng hadn't come back was that no one had come to him yet.If Ying Zheng had come back, he would have sent someone to look for him.

"Okay, Hu Jin, you can send this cup of black chicken soup to His Majesty's bedroom in a while!" Jin Ke said.

"No!" Hu Jin replied.

This queen is really domineering.Hu Jin is an old man in the palace, and he also served Ying Zheng's father before, that is, the son Yiren who used to be the hostage in Zhao State.At that time, it was not that there was no wife who wanted to deliver some soup and water to the king, but they were all sent to the place where the king handles government affairs.Jin Ke is fine, it looks like he is planning to go to the study to invite His Majesty back?

......

Jin Ke really went to the study to find Ying Zheng.

Zhao Gao stood guard outside the study.When Zhao Gao saw Jin Ke coming, Jin Ke stopped him when he was about to pass on the message, "I'll go by myself!"

"No!" Now Jin Ke is his key target to please, so it doesn't matter if he lets it in.Anyway, His Majesty will not blame himself.

After Jin Ke entered, he saw Ying Zheng frowning and reviewing the memorial.The memorial was divided into several stacks.The one on Ying Zheng's right hand side should have been reviewed, while the tall stack on the left hand side has not been reviewed.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the time again?" Jin Ke suddenly said.

As soon as Jin Ke made a sound, Ying Zheng came back to his senses from the memorial: "Why are you here?"

"Don't you look at what time it is now?" Jin Ke complained, "It wasn't you who fainted yesterday, did you?"

Hearing Jin Ke's complaints that could not conceal his concern, Ying Zheng, who was about to lose his temper, vented his anger all of a sudden: "It's because I forgot the time for a while! I'll go back now!"

Jin Ke went back to the bedroom with Ying Zheng.

At this time, Hu Jin was already waiting outside the bedroom.After seeing Jin Ke and Ying Zheng come back together, Hu Jin couldn't help feeling: The queen really won the emperor's heart!

The meals of the emperor and queen will definitely not only have a cup of black chicken soup.Ying Zheng didn't like soup, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to drink that black-bone chicken soup.

Jin Ke watched Ying Zheng's actions, filled a bowl of chicken soup and put it roughly in front of Ying Zheng: "I boiled it, you drink it!"

Since I have tasted the taste of chicken soup beforehand, although it cannot be regarded as a delicacy in the world, it does not have a strange taste anyway.So Jin Ke asked Ying Zheng to drink the soup he "carefully" made without any pressure.

"You boiled it?" Ying Zheng couldn't believe it, "You still cook soup?"

"Of course, you look down on me so much?" Jin Ke said, "It's a piece of cake!" However, you don't want to think about the Manchu banquet, because even I have never seen it.

"Let me try it!" Ying Zheng drank the black chicken soup gracefully.

"How does it taste?" Jin Ke asked.

"Not bad!" Ying Zheng didn't praise too much.The taste can only be said to be average, but the thought is very good.In summary, it can only be a good sentence.

Being able to get a good Jin Ke is already very satisfying.Jin Ke also drank the chicken soup himself, at least Ying Zheng's sincerity is in this good sentence.

"That's good! Call Mr. Fusu over later!" Jin Ke said, "You should also ask Mr. Fusu to help you! There are still so many memorials that have not been approved!"

Ying Zheng did not retort: ​​"Okay!"

How could he live up to Jin Ke's wishes?
